Imperial Palace, Emperor Yuanwu's dormitory. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The crown prince was dressed in a super-grade gown, and from head to toe he was the most solemn costume of the crown prince, and he was standing on the edge of Emperor Yuanwu's dragon bed.

Imperial Physician Ling knelt on the ground to check the pulse of Emperor Yuanwu, stood up and wiped his sweat and said: "Your Majesty is still clear, but his words and deeds are trapped, and he still needs to recuperate." ”

The crown prince nodded: "Then prescribe more tonics, and make sure that Your Majesty can get better." ”

"Yes."

The imperial physician ordered him to bow down, and Gonggong Qu, who was serving the prince with him, moved the brocade and put it next to the dragon bed, and the prince took his robe and sat down.

Emperor Yuanwu was lying flat on the bed, his eyes were slanted at the prince, his eyes were full of anger, his mouth was slightly slanted, and he wanted to speak but could only make an unexplained "uh-uh" sound, because he was uncontrollable, and his mouth was drooling.

The crown prince took a towel and carefully wiped his mouth for Emperor Yuanwu.

Emperor Yuanwu's personal temple was busy taking over: "His Royal Highness the Prince, let's let the servants come." ”

"Lone, who is a son, what's wrong with wiping his father's mouth?" The prince smiled: "Father-in-law He, rest." ”

The temple man bowed his head slightly and retreated to the side in response.

The crown prince cleaned the saliva near the chin and lips for Emperor Yuanwu, and then pulled the quilt to cover Emperor Yuanwu.

"My father is recuperating well, and the ministers will watch the affairs of the court."

Emperor Yuanwu's "uh-uh" sound was louder.

The crown prince turned a deaf ear, stood up and said: "Father-in-law takes good care of his father, he is going to deal with political affairs, and when he is free, he will come to see his father." ”

The temple man bowed down and said, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The prince smiled, looking very high-spirited.

After the people left, the temple people hurriedly came to Emperor Yuanwu's side, carefully observed Emperor Yuanwu's reaction, and then reached out to help him up.

In the end, he has been serving for many years, and from the eyes and actions of Emperor Yuanwu, the temple people can understand the meaning of Emperor Yuanwu.

But after lifting Emperor Yuanwu up, Emperor Yuanwu still couldn't do anything.

It was a huge difficulty for him to lift his arms, let alone say even the simplest words.

In the end, he was so angry, the temple sighed in their hearts.

Emperor Yuanwu looked at the temple man and asked him about it with his eyes.

The temple man pondered and asked, "Your Majesty wants the situation of Yuwen Siyuan?" ”

Emperor Yuanwu closed his eyes and replied in the affirmative.

The temple man hesitated, but still shook his head and said, "Young Master Yuwen has ...... Passed away, the situation of his children is still unknown, after all, Young Master Yuwen is also more amorous by nature, and perhaps in some places, there are still his illegitimate sons. ”

Emperor Yuanwu closed his eyes with a painful look in his eyes.

The temple man said softly: "Your Majesty mourns." ”

Emperor Yuanwu opened his eyes, stretched out his fingers and picked at the bed, and the screaming sound made the temple people frown.

"Your Majesty......"

Emperor Yuanwu's lips formed a circle, and then naturally loosened, and it was difficult to send out the word "Rui".

Temple Human: "King Rui? Your Majesty, Yanbei is far away, and it is estimated that it will take a month or two for the situation in the DPRK and China to reach Yanbei. ”

By that time, the courtiers would probably have been controlled by the crown prince.

I used to think that the prince's ability was mediocre and embarrassing, but I didn't expect the prince to still have support.

It's just that these people are not supporting the prince for the sake of the prince......

The temple man sighed silently in his heart and continued: "What's more, didn't Your Majesty say that King Rui cherishes feathers and must act in a bright and upright manner, how could King Rui lead his army into the capital because the prince is in charge of the country?" ”

Emperor Yuanwu closed his eyes.

yes, Ruiwang probably wouldn't do that.

The temple people shouted His Majesty a few times, but Emperor Yuanwu didn't react, and the temple people knew that he wanted to be quiet, so they had to slowly put Emperor Yuanwu back on the bed, called someone to guard, and quietly retreated.

Avoiding people all the way, I finally arrived at a hidden place. After the temple man stretched out his hand and tapped on a hollow brick wall twice, one short and three times, a small hole was opened in the courtyard wall on the other side, which only allowed one person to enter sideways.

The temple man slipped in, walked a little longer, and used the same code language before he was able to enter.

Behind the screen, a person sat leisurely, drinking tea.

The temple man walked around the screen and walked up to him, bowed and saluted, "The slave has seen the king of Nanping." ”

"Mr. He, please get up."

The name of the temple is He Dan, who has been following and serving Emperor Yuanwu, and everyone respectfully calls him "Manager He".

There is only the crown prince, who calls him "Gonggong He", which is no different from the eunuchs of other temples.

He Dan stood upright, and the king of Nanping asked him to give him a seat, poured him a bowl of tea with his own hands, and asked leisurely, "How is Your Majesty?" ”

"Your Majesty's condition is not the worst, and there is hope that you will get better after treatment, but at present, Your Majesty is still unable to speak or act. But it's okay to express emotions. He Dan said: "Since learning that the prince sent someone to assassinate Yuwen Siyuan, His Majesty suffered a stroke in anger, and it is a blessing in misfortune to be able to maintain the current situation." ”

Fortunately, I wasn't directly.

King Nanping nodded, and asked again, "I heard that the prince came to see His Majesty today?" ”

"Yes." He Dan said: "The prince looks, he shouldn't want anything to happen to His Majesty." ”

"Of course he doesn't want anything to happen to His Majesty, once His Majesty is gone, he will either ascend the throne, or he will never be eligible to ascend the throne because he is angry with his father...... Either way, he knew that King Rui would not sit idly by. ”

King Nanping touched the edge of the teacup, and a trace of worry crossed his expression: "Does the prince have any other actions?" ”

"It's gone." He Dan said: "Slave look, the prince seems to really want to arrest the affairs of the court and control the entire court during the period of His Majesty's serious illness." ”

The king of Nanping bowed his head, obviously he was not surprised by this.

He Dan was a little worried: "Lord Nanping, the slave has no idea. ”

"Oh? Mr. He, please speak. ”

"The slave doesn't understand, why did the prince also come forward to protect the prince's prison country? If the prince does not come forward, the prince's supporters will be reduced by half. He Dan said softly: "Now in this court, among His Majesty's princes, King Rui is far away in Yanbei, and the whip is beyond his reach, so it is the prince who can restrain and restrain the prince." ”

King Nanping smiled when he heard this: "Why do you want to restrain him? The more power he gets, the more ambitious he gets, and the more wrong his actions become...... That's the better, isn't it? ”

He Dan hesitated: "Does the prince want to force the prince to take the initiative to attack King Rui?" ”

"The current situation has been passive for us, King Rui is unwilling to send troops easily, and he doesn't want to take the historical reputation of seizing the throne, so he can only wait for the prince to make the first move...... King Nanping said helplessly: "This is also a helpless thing." ”

He Dan bowed his head, looked at King Nanping, and after stopping talking, he paused, got up and said: "Although the prince guesses that the prince will not harm His Majesty, but the slave is not by His Majesty's side, so he can't rest assured." The slave will go back first, and if there is any situation, the slave will notify the prince in time. ”

"There's Mr. Lao."

King Nanping got up to see him off, and when he came back, his expression paused.

He Dan stopped talking before leaving, and he could see it clearly.

Of course, he knew what He Dan wanted to ask.

He wanted to ask if he, the king of Nanping, also had ambitions for the throne.

King Nanping smiled and muttered: "What's so good about being an emperor, look at my father's ......" (to be continued.) )
