Chapter Forty-Nine: The Life of a Perfect Emperor

Queen Chen, who was dressed in luxury, waited for Yu'er and got the small golden hook in Yu'er's hand. Stroking the golden hook, she smiled.

This day finally made her wait.

At that moment, Empress Chen, who seemed to be bursting with light all over her body, put the golden hook into the incense bag she was carrying, and said softly to Yu'er: "Let's go, go to the Qinzheng Palace to visit the emperor." ”

Yu'er understood, although she was very excited, but she had been waiting for this day for a long time, so she was still proceeding in an orderly manner. She first lagged a few steps behind and stood beside a first-class palace maid, this palace maid has been in Queen Chen's palace for several years, and she was selected by Queen Chen when she became a concubine.

Yu'er whispered to her: "The queen mother is going to visit the emperor, you go over first, go to the Qinzheng Palace, and break up all the irrelevant people." ”

The first-class palace maid immediately understood that there were many such things, and she was also familiar with the road, so she hurriedly passed through the middle road first, and got things done before the queen mother arrived at the Qinzheng Palace.

After Yu'er explained, she walked a few steps quickly and kept up with Queen Chen's pace. In fact, Queen Chen is not going fast, as a daughter of a family, she is elegant from the bones, and her smile is standardized. Of course, the pace is not slow, and there is an indescribable demeanor.

Not only did she walk calmly, but Queen Chen herself was shining all over her body, revealing calmness. She even had the leisure to look at the blue sky today, at the stone lion on the white jade railing, and at the clothes of the eunuch with a yellow umbrella beside her. and the palace maids who followed behind with the queen's guard of honor.

came to the Qinzheng Hall unhurriedly. In the past few years, the emperor has always been sick, for a while, for a while. Basically, the queen takes care of the emperor. Especially after entering the autumn this year, the emperor's body is getting worse and worse, everyone knows that the emperor may not survive this winter, the queen mother takes care of the emperor especially diligently, and constantly comes to the palace of diligence. Today is just the same as it has been in the past few years.

Empress Chen's arrival did not cause everyone in the Qinzheng Hall to be nervous, because Empress Chen would come every day. The Imperial Doctor had already waited to the side, kneeling. Empress Chen gently asked the imperial doctor to get up. Asked the imperial doctor: "How is the emperor today?" ”

The imperial doctor hurriedly replied: "The situation is not very good, the pulse case has been recorded, and in accordance with the will of the queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince, a prescription has been changed." Although there was some improvement in the past few days. But. It's been bad for the past two days, and the ministers are considering whether to change the prescription again. ”

The emperor had already had a critical situation before, and he was in a hurry. Tai Hospital prescribed a risky prescription. This prescription is not as gentle as it used to be. This prescription can be said to be the medicine of the tiger and wolf, which is more ferocious, and naturally it is more risky, so under normal circumstances, it is impossible to use it for the emperor, even for ordinary palace concubines. However, this time, it was the Tai Hospital who consulted the queen and the crown prince, and they only used it with their consent.

In other words, this time, the prescription is used only by dead horses as live horse doctors. This matter was not deliberately kept secret, so many important ministers knew about it. I also understand that the emperor is dying, if he can be cured, it is a good thing, if he is not healed, the world will change.

What is gratifying is that after the emperor used the new prescription, his condition suddenly improved a lot, and the government and the opposition, including the harem, were all happy, but in the past two days, it has not been good. The hospital was also very panicked, for fear that something would go wrong, and was considering changing the prescription.

Empress Chen said gently: "Aiqing has also worked hard. You are studying it to see if there is any good idea, and if you think of it, you must tell me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in time. In extraordinary times, use extraordinary methods, as long as you can save the emperor, you can boldly put it forward. When the emperor's dragon body is better, he will definitely reward the Tai Hospital. ”

The imperial doctor hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in thanksgiving.

Empress Chen asked again: "Has the emperor taken the medicine today?" ”

The doctor hurriedly said, "I have already taken it." It's good spirits at this point. ”

Empress Chen's expression became more and more gentle, and she said, "Okay then." You're tired too, go down and rest, and if there's something, I'll pass you on again. I'm going to visit the emperor now. ”

The imperial physician does not doubt him, and the queen is the most considerate person for his subordinates. Both inside and outside the palace know. Every time the queen arrived, she would comfort them warmly, encourage the imperial doctors, and let the imperial doctors rest. In fact, the emperor has been sick for so many years, and the whole hospital is nervous, and it is really hard.

Therefore, every time the queen says this, the imperial doctors will also go to the side hall to wait, and they can even take the opportunity to rest, anyway, with the queen here, the emperor will definitely be stable.

Over the years, this idea has been ingrained in the minds of the physicians. Therefore, this imperial doctor naturally went to the side hall and seized the time to rest. As soon as I entered the side hall, there was already a palace maid waiting on the side and serving a cup of fragrant tea. After drinking fragrant tea, the imperial doctor asked about the smell of benzoin lit in the palace, and unconsciously felt a little sleepy, the emperor suddenly got up in the past two days, and the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital had not rested much for two days. At this moment, the imperial doctor's mind relaxed, and he couldn't help but take a nap.

Here, the queen entered the emperor's palace with great grace. In the inner room of the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor is resting on the dragon bed. There is a medicinal fragrance in the entire dormitory, but this medicinal fragrance can't hide the dead air, and the emperor's body has come to an end. Even the spirit is not very good, and he often falls into a coma.

Actually, the emperor still likes this kind of coma very much. In the coma, he can always see the person who thinks about him, the most beautiful person in the world. The princess of the dead country, with sadness, with the luxury in her bones, with deep love, is so charming and beautiful.

However, at this time, the emperor did not fall into a coma, but was awake, he didn't want to die, and he still cooperated with the treatment of the imperial doctor, because he still had things in his heart that he couldn't let go, and the little princess he loved had not grown up. And, as a human instinct, survival is the most basic.

The emperor was happy when he saw the arrival of the queen. Every day the queen would come and talk to him for a while. In addition to the queen, there is also the crown prince who comes over every day, although the prince is very busy, because now the government is handed over to the prince, and no one knows better than the emperor how busy the government is. Therefore, he was very pleased that the prince could insist on visiting him every day despite his busy schedule. This son has always been ignored by him, but he didn't expect that this son is the best among his sons in terms of ability, talent, appearance, and filial piety.

In addition to these two people, the one who often comes is his favorite little princess Huichuan. Of course, the little princess came under the leadership of Shihuang Guifei. The arrival of the little princess can give him joy every time and give him the courage to fight the disease.

Now seeing the arrival of the queen, although the emperor did not sit up, because he no longer had the strength, he still said happily: "The queen is here?" There are so many things in the harem, you are already very busy, why do you have to come to see me every day? ”

The emperor made a total of two empresses. The previous queen was the daughter of the Wang family, Queen Wang. During the reign of Queen Wang, the management of the harem was a mess. The harem was not well managed, and neither was her son. The prince has never been transferred, and he has no talent, not to mention, a family is a mess, and there are a lot of concubines, but not a single son has been born. The queen's harem and the prince's east palace were not well managed, but they were very interested in the previous dynasty, and the entire court was controlled by the queen. This made the emperor very dissatisfied, and finally deposed the queen.

In fact, this queen's qualifications are on par with that of the queen, and they have followed since the emperor was still the crown prince. The family background is no worse than that of the queen and the queen, and she is also the daughter of the family. also gave birth to the emperor's eldest daughter, and gave birth to a prince before, but unfortunately he died.

This point is not comparable to Queen Wang, but when the daughter of the Chen family married the fourth prince Liu Yan, Queen Chen began to take care of Liu Yan. Under her management, Liu Yan is improving day by day, and now he is also stable as the prince, and the government and the opposition are full of praise. The prince's east palace is also very stable. The crown princess is the daughter of the Chen family, beautiful and generous, and gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor. Most of the rest of the good women also gave birth to sons, and in this regard, Liu Yan is already better than the emperor, at least there are many heirs.

In addition to these, Queen Wang is generous and intelligent, and manages a huge harem in an orderly manner. Another point is virtuousness. When the queen was there, she was very jealous, and she would definitely start with the palace concubines in the harem, especially those who were favored and those who were pregnant with dragons, which was also the reason why the emperor's harem withered and the heirs were scarce. But what about Empress Chen, since she mastered the harem, she has summoned noble girls into the palace many times, enriched the harem, and even let the emperor get a precious princess in his later years.

For the favored palace concubine, Queen Wang is also very thoughtful, and for his favorite Princess Huichuan, Queen Wang takes care of it even more carefully. In general, the qiē made by Queen Wang can be called a virtuous queen.

The emperor lay on the sickbed, thinking that he might die, and it was inevitable that he would look back on his life. I feel like I'm a wise man. During his reign, he was always diligent and prudent, and he also suppressed the power of the family. His own foreign family, the Li family, and the former queen's Wang family, have been suppressed by him, and now their strength is not as good as before. The country is also prosperous and strong.

The greatest merit is that the border troubles of the northern barbarians that plagued the Qin Dynasty of the previous dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty of the current dynasty have been completely lifted. The barbarians were defeated by him. The Great Chu Dynasty expanded its land for thousands of miles, and this credit is really shocking to the ancient and modern.

In the face of such a life, the emperor can be regarded as satisfied. The only fly in the ointment is that none of the virtuous queens are compatible. Now that wish has been fulfilled. In the future, when he is mentioned in the history books, not only his internal and external merits will be mentioned, but also Empress Chen, the virtuous queen. This is truly the perfect life of an emperor. (To be continued......)
