Chapter 25

Empress Dowager Lu sent her powerful female officials to the Qiyang palace to help. A few days later, she was driven back to the palace the night the king woke up.

Empress Dowager Lu is so shameless. As the saying goes, if you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, the Empress Dowager will give someone a gift. Even if it's just a sweeper in Qingning palace, it's also a Bodhisattva when he is sent to the minister's home, and the whole family should offer it respectfully.

As a result, Empress Dowager Lu sent her son Zheng Sipin, who had the highest position and the most face, to wait for the imperial edict. They didn't appreciate it. They even rushed out with their bedding that night. Sun Daizhao and others went back to the palace overnight. They heard that they had been crying in front of the Empress Dowager for a long time.

It's a joke for the younger generation to show off their elders. It's just that this kind of thing happened in the emperor's family, and no one dares to say it. In particular, the Empress Dowager Lu was not the legitimate mother of the king of Qiyang. She was originally the outer room set up by Xie Yi when she was in the army. Later, all the family members of Xie's house were killed by Gong Di of the later Jin Dynasty, and Mrs. Yin was also poisoned. When Xie's house was deserted, Lu's family was righted.

Then Xie Yi became the emperor. After Xie Yi died, the emperor was replaced by Xie Rui. Lu's family rose and became the supreme woman in the world, the Empress Dowager of the Ye Dynasty. Empress Dowager Lu wanted to present the image of Empress Dowager as a caring mother for her children and grandchildren. Unexpectedly, Xie xuanchen's shameless hair beat her back from the clouds and exposed her.

Empress Dowager Lu was very angry and scolded for a long time in Qingning palace. After scolding the ignorant Princess Qiyang, she scolded the female official. She used to be an outsider. When she saw that Xie xuanchen, the young master of the original family, was weak, she did not dare to scold Xie xuanchen, so she could only scold Mu Mingtang. Finally, sun Daizhao, Yu Changshi and others, who were ordered to go to the Qiyang palace to do errands, did not do well either.

Empress Dowager Lu is upset when she sees sun Daizhao's sick appearance. The people around her are being treated like this. Of course, Empress Dowager Lu is angry, but she is even more angry that Xie xuanchen doesn't take her seriously. When empress dowager Lu saw sun Daizhao, Yu Changshi and others, she seemed to see that she had no dignity in front of Xie xuanchen. Empress dowager Lu was depressed, and of course she did not want to see these people swaying in front of her eyes.

Sun Daizhao was stabbed several times with a needle and poured a bowl of Juezi soup in public. He suffered a great loss. Finally, he went back to the palace and was scolded, which made the Empress Dowager dislike him. It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his army.

Holding high and stepping down in the palace is the most serious. Once some slight cracks appear, there are some people pulling you down. Qingning palace how storm surging, not to mention, hanging arch hall, at the moment is not calm.

The emperor had a headache. He stood in a row under the imperial case. The Emperor didn't even bother to get angry now.

The emperor calmly threw the fold in front of the Taiyi kucheng and asked, "didn't you say that he would be in a coma for at least half a month because of his serious injury. It's only a few days. I'll write a report. Xie xuanchen wakes up. "

Taiyi kucheng also felt incredible. The Taiyi he heard back said that Xie xuanchen's foundation was extremely deficient, and he was at the end of the storm. I'm afraid this is the last time he went crazy. All the doctors who felt the pulse said that Xie xuanchen would lie for at least ten days and a half months even if he didn't cough up blood. How did you wake up today?

Isn't it a return of light?

Taiyi kucheng didn't dare to talk nonsense. The king of Qiyang is the emperor's heart disease. If he rashly says that Xie xuanchen hasn't died in a few days and makes the emperor happy, then he won't end well.

After a long deliberation, the Taiyi kucheng finally said very conservatively, "report back to the emperor, King Qiyang has really suffered a lot this time. Now it's September. Counting the time, he has been in a coma for two years. In these two years, he has eaten less and consumed more, and his body has collapsed greatly. But he has been manic for several times and hurt people, overdrawn his Qi and blood, and extremely damaged his foundation. According to the minister, if the king of Qiyang wants to live in peace and quiet in the future, there will be a ray of life. If he goes crazy again, I'm afraid his body will not be able to sustain any longer. "

In other words, as long as the emperor waited for Xie xuanchen to hurt others, Xie xuanchen could kill himself, and the emperor would be free. After two years of apprehension, the emperor finally heard an accurate sentence and felt peaceful in his heart. The emperor was in a better mood. When he looked at the remaining people, he was not as angry as before.

The emperor's tone was greatly improved. He asked the imperial physician kucheng, "according to Aiqing, how can I take care of my nephew?"

Taiyi kucheng is beating a drum in his heart again. It's hard to answer this sentence. He has to think carefully before he speaks. Taiyi kucheng repeated it several times, and then slowly said, "I think we should let King Qiyang take good care of himself and do everything according to him. Don't let King Qiyang worry about foreign affairs. If you are in a good mood, you can recover. If the king of Qiyang can pass the winter safely, then it will be OK. "

The emperor understood this. The Taiyi kucheng said that if everything goes along with him, he will inevitably be overjoyed. The greater the movement, the more energy he will consume. He will be killed by this winter.

To wait until this winter, this is a little longer than the emperor expected. But the emperor thought that it was only a few months. He had endured it for two years, and he still cared about one or two months?

The emperor nodded, worried and said: "it's very cold in winter, and the weak people are the hardest. He is the only son of the late emperor, who entrusted the world and his only son to me on his deathbed. Governing the world can greatly promote the imperial examination and invite talents. However, the illness of King Qiyang is always a thorn in my heart. In my heart, he is more valuable than my own prince, but heaven is jealous of his talents. He is only 19 years old, so he is very ill. "As the emperor spoke, tears flowed from his eyes, and the ministers under his seat also sobbed with tears. After sighing for a while, the emperor cleaned up his sad face and said solemnly, "the Taiyi Bureau has been ordered to transfer five people from today on. They don't have to be responsible for the teaching of students and the external diagnosis of the capital. They just live in the palace of King Qiyang and keep an eye on the health of King Qiyang all the time. What medicine does the king of Qiyang need? You don't have to ask for orders. You can take it directly from the warehouse. You must take good care of King Qiyang at all costs. "

"I will comply with the order."

After the emperor explained the imperial medical bureau, he stood up, put his hands on his back, and walked slowly: "the title of Qiyang is not good. Although it's easy to remember, it's too fierce. Fighting and killing in the battlefield, the evil spirit is too heavy, I'm afraid it will attract ghosts, which is not conducive to his health. Why don't you change it to King Ann

The one word king is the prince, the two word king is the county king, the prince's status can be far higher than the county king. Only the emperor's next of kin can be a prince. For example, Xie Xuanji is the king of Jin. Xie Yi made Xie xuanchen king of Qiyang in the first place to avoid suspicion. After all, he was rebellious and superior. Second, he also wanted to make Xie xuanchen's prestige worse.

Once Xie xuanchen Title How no one cares, Xie xuanchen himself does not care. Xie Yi is only one of his sons. What's the difference between establishing a prince and a king? Xie xuanchen still feels very proud of his fame.

Later, Xie xuanchen had an accident, Xie Yi died, and Xie Rui ascended the throne. Naturally, no one mentioned the title. After he ascended the throne, Xie Rui established his son as Prince. Although he was embarrassed to establish a prince, he has tried his best to avoid the ownership of inheritance rights.

In order to rectify his name, Xie Rui strongly advocated that his elder brother, younger brother and elder brother should inherit this inheritance order in turn. He also said that this can avoid the interference of the Imperial Palace and the eunuch's dictatorship. Xie Rui said so many benefits. According to his words, when the next generation inherits, it's time to pass them on to Xie xuanchen, who is older.

He inherited his brother's throne, and then it should be passed on to his second nephew. If he left it to his son, wouldn't the emperor slap himself in the face?

As a result, the emperor always avoided mentioning the successor, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty went up without a long eye. In any case, the emperor is prosperous in spring and autumn, and he is not worried about the prince for a while. Wait a second, maybe Xie xuanchen will die first.

But today Xie Rui made Xie xuanchen prince, which means a lot.

Only the emperor's next of kin can be granted the title of Prince. At this time, the emperor granted Xie xuanchen the title of king an, which is tantamount to placing him in the same position as the prince. This is equivalent to recognition, Xie xuanchen also has the right of inheritance.

Knowing that Xie xuanchen could not survive this winter, the emperor felt relieved, and immediately remembered his promise when he first ascended the throne. He no longer evaded the idea of his elder brother and his younger brother. In a few words, he promoted Xie xuanchen's status as Prince, and gave him many rewards: "in the future, king an is just like my father and son. He is the oldest, and his ritual system should be higher than that of King Jin. No negligence is allowed inside or outside. If I know who is neglecting king an, I will never forgive him. "

Zaifu bowed down and responded one by one. After the emperor finished, he thought of this morning. It seems that empress dowager Lu also complained. After a pause, the emperor called the eunuch beside him and said, "go to Qingning palace and pass my decree to the Empress Dowager. Although Princess an comes from the people, she is my daughter-in-law no matter who comes into the royal family. As long as she can take good care of king an, it's a great achievement. She can't embarrass Princess an for other things. It's said that the female officials around the Empress Dowager have been wronged. If you mention some rewards from my private bank, I will reward them. After that, the envoys in the inner palace must be respectful when they see Princess an, and they must not provoke Prince an's house any more. "

"Yes."

Eunuch, eunuch kucheng and Zaifu left one after another. In a flash, only Xie Xuanji was left in the palace. The emperor came down from the throne and kindly asked Xie Xuanji to sit down.

Xie Xuanji said he didn't dare, but he was still waiting for the emperor. The emperor asked, "you've been working hard these days. You've been running around for it. Are they still alive these days? "

"When I returned to my father, Prince an's house was as quiet as usual. There was nothing wrong except that the Empress Dowager's female officials were wronged."

"That's good." The emperor nodded and said, "if you are aggrieved, you will be aggrieved. I know the Empress Dowager is not pretty. But when he scolds me in front of everyone, will I be pretty? I can't bear it. On the Empress Dowager's side, you can go for a walk later and persuade her to relax. If you can bear it later, you can bear it. Don't provoke that person again. "

Xie Xuanji sighed in his heart. Before he went, he could already think of how angry the Empress Dowager would be. The Empress Dowager sends a confidant to discipline a princess. She is beaten in the face by Xie xuanchen. After that, she has to placate the two. A empress dowager's indulgence in perfection is not as good as improper.

But Xie Xuanji would not say these words to the emperor. They all know that Xie xuanchen can't live this year. Why not bear it again? The more tolerant they are now, the more they will praise the virtues of the palace. Compared with the reputation they can get, it's nothing to endure the Qiyang palace for only three or four months.

Xie Xuanji's heart was clear, and he arched his hand and said, "I understand. After a while, I will persuade my mother and the Empress Dowager."

The emperor was very pleased to see that Xie Xuanji understood. He picked up his beard, laughed and said, "you can teach me. Of all your brothers, you are the most filial, capable and most like me. "The palm of Xie Xuanji's hand trembled. What did the emperor imply? With ecstasy, Xie Xuanji immediately bowed himself and said, "if my father praises me falsely, my son will live up to my father's expectations."

Emperor Mu Lu was pleased. He said that Xie xuanchen was like his parent and son. Naturally, it was only an expedient measure. What he really wanted was Xie Xuanji. However, Xie Xuanji is still young and needs to be tempered. We can't tell him these words early.

The emperor said, "you don't live far away from him. In the future, you'll walk more, so that you won't be able to meditate in the morning and dusk. But every two or three days, you always have to ask about the illness. If you can't get rid of yourself outside, let your princess go. In a word, let the outside see that you have great respect for your brother. "

"Yes, my son, yes."

After the emperor finished, because he mentioned Xie Xuanji's Princess just now, the emperor suddenly remembered one thing: "are you just married? I remember, today seems to be the day when you come back? "

When the emperor said this, Xie Xuanji remembered. By the way, he would return to the door in three days. Xie Xuanji quickly counted the days and found that three days had passed.

Xie Xuanji is a little embarrassed. He is so busy these days that he doesn't even return home. Where can he remember to accompany Jiang Mingwei back to the door. Xie Xuanji felt some guilt in his heart, but after a whirl, he sank again. Jiang Mingwei has always been knowledgeable and reasonable. She must be able to understand his difficulties. It's just to let her go back. Jiang Mingwei won't complain.

It's a big deal. After going back, he asked someone to prepare some new clothes and jewelry for Jiang Mingwei. Coaxing a woman is nothing more than giving money and goods.

Xie Xuanji slightly with some embarrassment, back: "back to my father, three days back, has passed."

"Oh, really?" The emperor also forgot, but it's not a big deal. He didn't even think about it. He said, "after all, returning home is to support a woman's face in her mother's home. If you don't return home, remember to go to Jiang's home to make up for her. Although Jiang Mingwei is not outstanding, but with you childhood, win in know the root know the bottom. If you marry a woman high, you marry a woman low. Now that you've passed the family, you can live a good life. It's important to have a son as soon as possible. "

Xie Xuanji knows very well that only when he has his own son as soon as possible can he win over Xie xuanchen, who is doomed to die out. How can Xie Xuanji be careless when it comes to the future throne.

The emperor told Xie Xuanji a few more words. He was just going to Xie xuanchen's side. He was more diligent, more respectful, more patient and more tolerant. Xie Xuanji responded one by one, and the emperor sent him away.

After Xie xuanchen's reward will was sent out, everyone was in a great uproar. Xie xuanchen cleaned up the female officials in front of the empress dowager, but the palace didn't dare to fart. Instead, the emperor wrote that Xie xuanchen was promoted to the throne, granted the title of king an, sent countless gold and silver jewelry, precious medicinal materials, and even sent a team of imperial doctors to see Xie xuanchen.

Look at the treatment. I know it's nephew. I don't know it. I think it's serving my father.

Mu Mingtang woke up early this morning and was ready. They beat the dog yesterday. Today, the owner will have to come to discuss. Mu Mingtang was sitting in danger. After waiting for a long time, Xiang nanchun quickly came in and reported: "princess, someone is coming to the palace."

"Well." Mu Mingtang nodded and was ready. Xie xuanchen hasn't woken up yet. She has to deal with it by herself. It is said that when Mu Mingtang got up today, he used many valuable hairpins and combed a very complicated bun. She stood up and asked, "where are the people in the palace?"

"My father-in-law is already in the main hall of the palace. Please move."

When Mu Mingtang heard the edict, his legs softened. He just beat two running dogs. Is it exaggeration for the emperor to go down and ask for a crime himself? Mu Mingtang tried her best to keep calm on her face. She kept telling herself that she would not lose the battle. She held the airs of flattering and insulting, and asked, "I wonder what's the will of the emperor?"

"The LORD was granted the title of king an, and the reward has been carried to the main hall."

"It turns out that What, reward? " Mu Mingtang was surprised. What did she hear just now, the imperial edict and reward?

Mu Mingtang had been doing well before. After hearing the imperial edict, his expression changed immediately. Xiang nanchun thought that the princess was dissatisfied with the change of the title. He knelt down in a hurry and said, "it's the imperial edict and reward to report back to the princess. The imperial edict was ordered by your majesty. Now the governor and the three provinces have been sealed, and the reward is very grand. Thousands of taels of gold, tens of thousands of silk, and many precious medicinal materials have been sent. Even the Gongshen, which was provided by the palace to your majesty and the Empress dowager, has been sent. The emperor said that this year's tribute will be delivered soon. The Lord's health is important. It's OK to wait in the palace. "

…… If he didn't know it was impossible, Mu Mingtang almost thought Xie xuanchen was actually the emperor's father. It's the first time that Mu Mingtang heard that the Empress Dowager gave medicine to others.

Mu Mingtang tries hard to hold his image, and says, "what else?"

"Five doctors from the imperial medical bureau came to say hello to the princess. In the future, the five doctors will stay in the palace and make a special trip to invite pulse for the Lord. The board and lodging are all arranged by the imperial medical bureau. Just ask the princess to arrange a place for the imperial doctor to settle down. "

"The accompanying father-in-law also sent a message from the empress dowager, saying that the Empress Dowager has not been able to use her energy recently. She didn't pay attention to the people below, and even let a few brave slaves offend the princess. The Empress Dowager was furious when she learned about this. She had already beaten the maids 20 times and sent them to the Huanyi bureau to do rough work. The Empress Dowager sent a lot of treasures to the princess. She said that she would be shocked. Please don't worry about what happened before. "Mu Mingtang is now sure that Xie xuanchen is really the emperor's long lost father.
