Chapter 411: Faintly
So the emperor immediately wrote a letter to Ling Wang Zhao Teng, asking Ling Wang Zhao Teng to immediately submit a copy of the existing data on the number of soldiers, the distribution of subordinate departments and personnel, and the annual income of crops. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I haven't asked much about the situation in Xiliang in the past few years, I'm very ashamed, now that the country is safe and secure, there are many places that I can't take into account before, and I want to pay attention to it." The emperor said at the end of the letter.
In the state of Cao, the vassal king can have his own army, but the number cannot exceed 50,000, and now there are 130,000 in the king Zhao Teng, and of course the imperial court has to intervene to take care of it. It's just that the emperor doesn't want to tear his face with him all at once, after all, in the event of a war, it is the soldiers and the people who suffer.
Now, the emperor wants to see how King Ling Zhao Teng will reply to him.
This reply will be directly related to how the emperor will treat him next.
At the same time, the emperor sent additional men to the various entrances of the capital, and stationed a large number of soldiers not far from these entrances.
After arranging these things, the emperor asked the prince: "Is there anything else that needs to be added?" ”
The crown prince said approvingly: "My father has already made a perfect arrangement, and my son has nothing to add for the time being." ”
The emperor pondered for a while, and then said to the prince: "In the past two years, you have been much calmer and more thoughtful, and I am very pleased. ”
The prince was slightly stunned, and then replied with a smile: "It is my father who teaches well." ”
Then he reached out and poured tea for the emperor.
The emperor quietly looked at the prince who was concentrating on pouring tea for himself, and a touch of imperceptible warmth flashed in his eyes.
When the crown prince handed him the tea, Gonggong Zhang trotted in and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, something happened to Your Royal Highness." ”
Both of them shook violently, and they invariably turned their eyes to Grandpa Zhang.
Father-in-law Zhang has always been calm when encountering things, but today he seems to be a little panicked, and they can't help but be a little panicked in their hearts.
Father-in-law Zhang didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately reported: "The Third Highness hanged himself in the bedroom." ”
The emperor's gaze was still calm, but his hand holding the teacup shook violently, and he jerked the teacup back on the table and walked out quickly.
The crown prince immediately followed.
There was a panic in King Jin's mansion.
The emperor and the crown prince strode through the crowd and walked straight to the room of Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin.
Qinglian was waiting in front of the bed.
She had already sent someone to inform the imperial concubine, but she didn't know what was going on with the imperial concubine and hadn't seen anyone coming.
The emperor came to the bedside of Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin, and looked down at him.
The scars of the ropes were faintly visible between his neck, his face was calm, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
This son who has been raised for eighteen years, is smart and studious, and the talented and good-looking son is gone? The emperor only felt that his head was buzzing, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he shouted with infinite sorrow: "Xun'er, why is this suffering? ”
The crown prince also stepped forward and looked at this younger brother, who had always been at odds with him.
He didn't know what to say to him, at this moment, he didn't have half a bit of hatred for him, only full of pity and emotion.
The emperor asked Qinglian what happened, and Qinglian, who had already cried into tears, replied in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness got up in the morning and drank half a bowl of porridge, and then said that his head was a little uncomfortable and wanted to lie quietly alone, so the concubine and his subordinates retreated. About an hour later, the concubine wanted to go to see him, but found that he had locked the door from the inside, so she knocked on the door, but no one answered after knocking for a long time, and the concubine hurriedly asked people to knock the door open, and when she knocked it open, she saw the scene. ”
In the past few days, due to the physical discomfort of Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin, the emperor did not ask him to come to the early dynasty, the emperor knew that he was not in good health, but he never expected that things would develop to this point.
"How so?" The emperor muttered, and sat down on a chair beside him.
Qinglian knelt down and said, "Your Royal Highness can't eat or sleep in the past few days, it's very painful. ”
It is not difficult to understand that a person who is depressed to such a severe point would go this way.
But...... The emperor is still very sad, very sad, and at the same time has unspeakable guilt.
Therefore, although he tried his best to control it, the emperor couldn't help but shed tears in the end.
A palace maid came in with a white face and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is ...... Fainted. ”
The prince hurriedly said, "This palace will go over and take a look." ”
The emperor nodded.
The crown prince immediately went to the residence of the imperial concubine.
When he arrived, the prince found that Empress Jingzhuang was already inside, sitting on a stool in front of the bed and watching the doctor diagnose the imperial concubine, so he stepped forward to salute.
"The fainting of the concubine is caused by excessive sadness, everyone enlightens her more, and there is no need for medication." The doctor said.
After the doctor left, Queen Jingzhuang pulled the prince to the next room to talk.
"I am also saddened by King Jin's death, it came too suddenly. Your Majesty, we have to enlighten us more, and the imperial concubine has to watch it. Queen Jingzhuang said.
Although everyone knew that King Jin had been sick recently, no one thought that he would choose such a way to end his life, and now that she thinks about it, Queen Jingzhuang also feels sad.
Although she didn't like King Jin, King Jin was the emperor's son after all, and she never thought of asking him to die.
How did it come to this?
The prince nodded and said, "Well, the child understands. ”
He was also very uncomfortable, but he was trying to stay strong and calm in front of others.
That night, the emperor had a high fever, and the crown prince and Empress Jingzhuang had been taking care of him at the bedside.
In the middle of the night, the emperor suddenly murmured: "I am old, I don't want you to leave....I still remember when you were young, you once accompanied me to the countryside for a walk, and you pointed to the two poplar trees on the side of the road and said to me, 'The tall one is my father, and the short one is my son, and my son will always be by my father's side'......"
The emperor wept as he spoke. Empress Jingzhuang and the crown prince both heard it, they glanced at each other and sighed silently.
The emperor continued: "There must be a few powerful people in the heavenly family, you go, I am so panicked, so panicked, do you know ......" The emperor choked up, and the rest of the words couldn't be spoken.
Empress Jingzhuang and the crown prince couldn't help but redden.
The previous generations of the Zhao family dynasty were prosperous, but the number of Zhao Gan's generation was greatly reduced, and now there is one dead when there are not many heirs, which is not a big blow to the Zhao family.
After a hundred years of vicissitudes of life in the Zhao family's dynasty, none of its descendants are miscellaneous, but now they suddenly have their own end of their lives, which also makes Zhao Qian feel disappointed in addition to being sad.
Under the intertwined torture of various emotions, Zhao Qian fell ill.
The next day, the emperor canceled the early dynasty due to ill health.
The news of the death of King Jin Zhao Yuxun also spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital on this day.
"It seems that the Zhao family dynasty is going to decline." Someone said it in private.
