As soon as Chen understood that he had just arrived at the dormitory in the morning, he heard that the saint had a dream last night and went back and forth to the Longevity Palace. He didn't ask much about why the saint left in a hurry but didn't enter the temple and returned directly, but only asked with concern: "How did the saint sleep at night?" ”

The little chamberlain who kept vigil for Xiao Ze was carefully selected by Chen Ming, and his ears were extremely sensitive, and even the slightest breathing could not hide from him.

Seeing Chen understand's question, the little chamberlain Chen Xi moved his big ears and replied: "The saint didn't sleep well in the first half of the night, and he was short of breath, I am afraid that he had a dream, and he didn't fall asleep again in the second half of the night. ”

Although the saint tried his best to suppress his breathing and make his breathing steady, Chen Xi could still tell whether he was asleep or not.

Chen Yu nodded, turned around and walked to the inner room, just walked a few steps, turned back, and suddenly said: "You keep an eye on the side of the Longevity Palace, don't let that slave snub the princess, mention it, in the future, their honor and favor can all be tied to the princess alone." "It's different now, if the sky changes in the future, those of them who are slaves can only rely on the masters around them.

Chen Xi was so clever that he immediately understood what the master meant.

This Qin Shifei is in the palace, what kind of life the princess is doing, people outside the palace don't know, and it is clear at a glance in the palace. In the future, when the saint will go great and the new emperor will succeed to the throne, he will inevitably treat the only queen daughter of the saint well.

When the time comes, if those palace maids who serve continue to slack off, they will be killing themselves.

But...... Chen Xi has something to know, because he was brought up by Chen Ming since he was a child, and the two are father and son, so there is nothing they dare not ask. Since he had doubts in his heart, Chen Xi asked directly: "Master, doesn't the saint dislike the princess?" Why do you mention those minions? ”

You think about them, they may not think of your love, this palace is full of high and low lords, once you are in power, you will look down on people, it is not a good thing.

Chen Zhi glanced at Chen Xi, he didn't want to say anything, but after thinking about it, he opened his mouth: "I'm not for them, but for the saint." ”

Sage? Chen Xi was even more confused when he heard this, and reached out to scratch his head, becoming more and more inexplicable.

Entering the inner room, Xiao Ze had already sat up, and the palace maid was serving him and dressing.

Chen Zhi glanced at it and found that Xiao Ze was wearing court clothes.

The saint hasn't been to the court for several days, and this time I'm going to go to the court.

He took a few steps forward, glanced at Xiao Ze without looking for a trace, and found that the saint was unusually haggard today, as if the whole person was exhausted, and only a breath of energy was left to support him. Especially those eyes, only lonely.

Seeing this, Chen Dong chuckled in his heart, and his heart beat violently. In the past, the spirit of the saint was not good, but Chen Ming could vaguely feel the hope in his heart, and now he ......

"陛xià." Chen Dong leaned up, "Go to court today?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Ze nodded, "It's been delayed for too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to drag it out." As he spoke, he looked down at his withered arm.

Hearing this, Chen understood the sourness in his heart, forcibly suppressed the sourness in his heart, and laughed: "Your Majesty is blessed with Qitian, the dragon is healthy, and he will definitely live a long life." ”

"A long life?" Xiao laughed at himself, he used to think, now he ...... He was looking forward to closing his eyes quickly, but Ah Long had waited too long.

There is no big Zhou, no qiē, nothing, he can accompany Ah Long without worry, and their little hats.

Thinking of the unborn child, Xiao Ze only felt that his heart stopped suddenly, and his heart was so distressed that he almost suffocated.

Child, Daddy was confused, are you willing to forgive Daddy?

Seeing that the saint's expression was wrong, Chen Yu hurriedly diverted the topic: "Your Majesty, first use some bird's nest porridge to cushion the mat." ”

He didn't speak very well, Xiao Ze glanced at it, he immediately smirked, laughed so that Xiao Ze lost his temper, and sighed: "You, stupid and stupid." ”

"It's good to be stupid, stupid people have stupid blessings." Chen understood and immediately answered with a smile.

At the beginning, he was able to serve by the saint's side precisely because of Han, he will forget things when he is old, many years ago, Chen understands and doesn't remember, the only thing he clearly remembers is the words of the first queen: "This is good, this is good, Ah Ze, let him go to your side to serve, you have a lot of worries, and you should be matched with a silly person by your side." ”

The first queen's voice was crisp and gentle, so good to listen to, as if it was a natural sound, and such a simple sentence changed his life.

A simple and stupid waiter who was not brilliant has come to this day step by step.

——

Former

The ministers entered the palace one after another.

Someone behind him trotted a few steps to catch up with Lu Qing, the official in front of him.

"Lord Lu, Lord Lu, wait a minute, wait for me."

Lu Qing stood up and turned around, looking at the old man who was out of breath in amazement: "Tong Yushi? It was still dark, Tong Yushi was old, Lu Qing was worried that he would fall, so he hurriedly reached out to support him, "Slow down, slow down." ”

After gasping for a while, Tong Yushi calmed down and laughed at himself: "I'm old, it's useless." ”

"Master Tong should be old and strong." Lu Qing's words were answered smoothly.

The two looked at each other, and they both thought it was funny, and laughed out loud.

"Lord Lu." After laughing for a while, Tong Yushi could be regarded as getting down to business, "Have you paid attention to the recent rumors?" ”

Lu Qing's eyebrows moved, and then he asked back quietly: "What rumors?" ”

Tong Yushi laughed twice, and his tone was meaningful, "Lord Lu has a lot of opportunities, and he is definitely not as good as me, an idler, who likes to listen to some gossip." A few days ago, there was a lame old man in Jingshi, who was cured of leg disease for many years because he had eaten the elixir from the north. ”

"That's a good thing." Lu Qing nodded.

Tong Yushi glanced at him and continued: "But I didn't expect that this good day didn't last long, not to mention the recurrence of the old man's old disease, and it almost endangered his life. ”

"Hmm," Lu Qing continued to nod.

Speaking of this, Tong Yushi's tone began to change, "After the divine doctor Sai Huatuo diagnosed and treated the old man, he said that he had taken a forbidden drug, this medicine is very domineering, although it can make people walk freely for a short time, but it will leave a great hidden danger, internal consumption of essence. If you are in good health, the duration may be longer, but no matter how healthy your body is, as long as you take this medicine, it will be life-threatening in less than a year. ”

After speaking, Tong Yushi stared at Lu Qing tightly without blinking, refusing to miss the slightest expression of his expression. It's a pity that Lu Qing is an old fox, where will Tong Yushi see the abnormality.

Lu Qing stroked his beard, and was unwilling to continue to play Tai Chi with Tong Yushi, and pointed out directly: "The rumor is untrue, and the rumor is untrue, and in just a few days, the matter of a lame old man is not only full of twists and turns, but everyone knows it, and there must be someone behind it." Lord Tong, you and I are old friends, I advise you, it's better not to wade into this troubled water. ”

Tong Yushi's eyebrows were frowning, and he was very dissatisfied with Lu Qing's shirking words: "It's about the country, how can you stand by!" ”

"But a lame old man, what does it have to do with the country?"

Tong Yushi couldn't say a word because of Lu Qing's words, and stared at you for a long time, "You...... You...... This ......"

Lu Qing turned his head to look at the rising sun in the east, with a complicated expression: "This matter is a double-edged sword, it depends on which side uses it well." ”

The timing of Xiao Yan's leg disease healing was too coincidental, I didn't feel it at the time, but afterwards, there must have been a lot of speculation by those who were suspicious, rather than being dragged by this handle forever, it is better to pick it out directly, and explain it in a bright light.

Hearing this, Tong Yushi also fell silent.

The two walked all the way to the Xuanzheng Palace, and before they reached the door, they heard the discussion in front of them, saying that the saint was coming to the court today.

Coming to the court?

Lu Qing was stunned, what a coincidence.

——

There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the court today, Xiao Ze's expression was not good, and he couldn't support it after sitting for a while. In the past, everyone was anxious to ask for the crown prince early, afraid that he would not be able to hold on to the past one day, but today he is so calm.

Xiao Ze is so sophisticated, with a slight sweep of his eyes, he knows that something must have gone wrong.

But don't rush, there will always be people who can't help but jump out.

He closed his eyes slightly, and he was already in a posture of retreating.

Sure enough, he had just closed his eyes when someone couldn't wait.

The servant of the ministry jumped out and asked the prince to be established: "Since ancient times, the emperor has succeeded the heavens and established the pole, and the emperor has returned to the district, and he will establish the Yuan Prince, Maolong Guoben, and Mianzong Society will not be stiff." ”

Xiao Ze nodded, "Aiqing is very right. Then his gaze swept over everyone, "Is there a suitable candidate for Zhong Aiqing?" ”

Zhou Shi was the first to jump out: "Your Majesty, the son of the King of Qin is a heroic and strange person, and his talent is beautiful, and he can inherit it." Zhou Shi is the right servant of Shangshu, and he is very prestigious in the court, and as soon as he said this, everyone echoed him.

Just when everyone was talking hotly, King Linhuai gave Qiao Yushi a look, Qiao Yushi nodded, and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the minister has this play." ”

"Say it." Xiao Ze was already very tired, but when he saw Qiao Yushi come out, there was still a flash of light in his eyes, and he said in his heart, here.

Qiao Yushi first described the lame old man completely.

After finishing speaking, before Xiao Ze could speak, someone next to him already sneered: "I can't imagine that the dignified Imperial History Lord will not rectify the hundreds of bureaucrats, rectify the court, and inspect the roads, but pay attention to the lame old man of the people, so subtle, I don't know whether to call you not doing your job, or should you praise you for caring about the people?" ”

As soon as the words fell, many people burst out laughing.

"Qiao Yushi, I heard that there is a blind old lady in Xishi, do you want to listen to her story."

"And the lame old man in the East City."

“……”

Qiao Yushi let everyone laugh at each other, his face was stern and he didn't say a word, and only after everyone had laughed enough did he slowly speak: "Your Majesty, it would not be surprising if this happened to only one person, but the minister found that many people have had similar things happen in recent days, all of which are related to banned drugs." ”

Some people questioned: "What forbidden drugs are so magical?" Qiao Yushi should not listen to rumors. ”

Qiao Yushi glanced at the man lightly, and opened his mouth to explain the origin of the divine doctor Sai Huatuo: "It's really you who are lonely and unheard, Sai Huatuo is a famous doctor in the world, and he has great prestige in the south, although he can't live the flesh and bones of the dead, but it's not far away." Presumably, among all of you, there must be someone who knows the name of Saihuatuo. ”

Someone nodded along with him: "Listen to a little bit, this Saihuatuo medical skill is indeed superb." ”

Xiao looked at Zhou Shi.

Receiving the sage's inquiring gaze, Zhou Shi immediately stepped forward and nodded honestly: "Your Majesty, Saihuatuo is indeed a person, and his medical skills are really wonderful." ”

Xiao nodded.

Seeing that even Zhou Shi admitted it, everyone no longer questioned Sai Huatuo.

However, the matter of banned drugs is really too mysterious, and it is just an old man, which is not surprising, where can it be compared to the big thing of Lichu.

Although Qiao Yushi explained the matter of Saihuatuo, there were still people who were dissatisfied with him. finally waited until the sage relented and agreed to establish the reserve, at this juncture, what topic did Qiao Yushi transfer, it was really a mouthful!

Just when everyone's dissatisfaction and doubts about him reached the extreme, Qiao Yushi's voice suddenly changed, and he spoke loudly: "Your Majesty, it is not for no reason that the minister mentioned this matter, but it is a matter of national capital, and it is a matter of importance. ”

Finally got the point!

Lu Qing chuckled in his heart, but his face became more and more calm.

Qiao Yushi looked directly at Xiao Ze, and said in a sonorous voice: "Your Majesty, half a month ago, a Turkic caravan entered Beijing, peddling strange medicines, claiming to cure all diseases. Because it is only a private transaction, the national policy of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always been open and inclusive, allowing visitors from all over the world, so it has not attracted attention. No, people who took miracle drugs died one after another today, which attracted Jingzhao's attention. ”

It was a matter of foreign races, and the Great Zhou had a dispute with the Turks not long ago, Xiao Yan's leg was injured in this way, Xiao Ze's expression finally became stern, and his eyes turned to Jing Zhaoyin.

Jingzhao Yin Mengli took a step forward, "Your Majesty, the matter is indeed as Qiao Yushi said, this Turkic caravan has bad intentions and has assassinated many innocent people, and it is currently known that more than 100 people have died. ”

What the?

Such a big thing happened at the feet of the dignified emperor, and all the ministers were a little shocked.

Seeing that Xiao Ze's face became more and more gloomy, Qiao Yushi's hands hidden under the wide cuffs clenched vigorously, and spoke again: "Your Majesty, the forbidden medicine peddled by this Turkic caravan has been carefully investigated by Doctor Saihuatuo, and it has been found that this medicine can repair the body's old problems in a short time, but at the cost of burning the essence in the body, it is extremely damaging to the body. The lame old man showed symptoms in just five days due to internal friction in his body, and people who were healthy would delay it longer, but no matter how healthy his body was, as long as he took this forbidden drug, within a year, he would be greatly injured and his life would be impermanent. ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Yushi suddenly raised his head, his eyes were awe-inspiring: "The prince of Qin is the god of war of the Great Zhou, guarding the people of the Great Zhou, fighting with the Turks for many years, he is the protector of the Great Zhou, and the nemesis of the Turks. ”

"You talk nonsense!" Seeing that Qiao Yushi was talking more and more unlikely, some people were furious and reprimanded loudly, "Nonsense, this is nonsense, how can there be such a strange forbidden drug in the world." ”

Qiao Yushi sneered, and his voice was cold: "Lord Chen is a spy? Lichu is a major event of the country, where the country is located, and there is no room for a difference, I am just worried that Qin Shizi will be poisoned but I don't know it. ”

"Lord Qiao's mouth is unfounded, can you just rely on your mouth to make a conclusion for the prince?"

"Humph!" Qiao Yushi snorted coldly, "At the beginning, the Tai Hospital and dozens of famous doctors from the north and south of the river were helpless against the leg disease of the prince, how could they recover in an instant after going to the north, doesn't Lord Chen think there is something boring in this?" ”

"Besides—" Qiao Yushi no longer paid attention to Lord Chen, but turned to Xiao Ze, "Your Majesty, the minister is not unfounded, according to the diagnosis of the divine doctor, as long as it is a person who has taken forbidden medicine, the pulse is the same. Whether the prince has taken a forbidden drug or not, the divine doctor will know as soon as he diagnoses it. ”

"Ridiculous!" Lu Qing, who had never spoken, finally couldn't help it, "Qiao Yushi's so-called first diagnosis is really a first diagnosis, who can prove that Sai Huatuo is not lying." ”

A faint smile flashed on Qiao Yushi's lips: "Why does the divine doctor lie, not to mention that it is related to the country, it is where the national fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty is, and the Yuan Chu cannot tolerate the slightest difference, and he would rather kill by mistake than let go, who knows what conspiracy and tricks the Turks are playing in secret?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Qing's heart was shocked, and his eyes were shocked.

He finally understood what the other party had in mind, originally he thought that this matter was extremely naïve, but now it seems that the other party is clearly scheming and thoughtful, and this plan is interlocking, and it must be to buckle an inappropriate hat for the prince.

The other party didn't want to prove that Shizi had taken banned drugs at all, but let Shizi have no way to prove that he had not taken banned drugs, even if it was confirmed after Saihuatuo's diagnosis and treatment that Shizi's pulse was not consistent with other people.

Once the seeds of suspicion take root in the hearts of the people, the prince will not be able to become the crown prince.

Once the matter of the establishment of the prince drags on, it will never end, the body of the saint can not last long, in case there is a good thing, in terms of name, as the saint's brother King Linhuai and King Nanchang succeeded to the throne and changed their names.

In the general righteousness, the prince does not have an advantage at all.

Qiao Yushi looked up at Xiao Ze again and urged: "Your Majesty!" ”

The king of Nanchang and the king of Linhuai glanced at each other, and it was rare to join forces: "Your Majesty!" ”

The other ministers were all silent, in the past, when the position of Prince Xiao Yan was at their fingertips, they didn't mind icing on the cake and selling the future new monarch. But now......

When Xiao Yan was obviously unfavorable, they were unwilling to wade into the troubled waters.

It's better to protect yourself.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Ze finally spoke in the silent urging of everyone: "The heirloom and the divine doctor have come to meet." ”
