Once the crown prince was established, the court suddenly calmed down a lot.

The mother of the eldest son of the emperor once assassinated the emperor and disabled the monarch, which was a great sin. The emperor did not depose the queen, and the courtiers, whether they had ulterior motives or were sincerely loyal to the king, felt that this was very inappropriate. However, the queen died of illness within a few days, died quickly enough, and was buried with the imperial concubine after her death, which can be regarded as punishment. Qu Shuibo's father and son knelt in front of the palace gate to plead guilty, kneeling for three days, and heard that Qu Shuibo's legs were going to be abolished, so the emperor ordered their father and son to go home, and there was no intention of asking for guilt, but the title of Duke Cheng'en was withdrawn.

Since the emperor, the bitter lord, has generously spared the queen and her mother's family, and the queen is dead again, it is not interesting for the courtiers to continue to stare at her. Moreover, the current situation is unstable, and it is normal for the emperor to establish a prince. If any courtier wrote at this time, saying that the eldest son of the emperor had a mother who had made a mistake and was not qualified to become a prince, it would be a hornet's nest. The emperor now has only two sons, both of whom were born to the queen, and if the emperor's eldest son is not qualified to be the prince, the second son of the emperor who is grounded is even less qualified. The emperor's sons are not eligible to become the crown prince, who is eligible? It can't be a fetus in the belly of a concubine who doesn't know the virtues and foolishness of men and women, right?

Now there is still a king of Jinyang jumping in the court, kicking the emperor's sons out of the list of candidates for the prince, is it possible to choose the emperor's younger brother? As soon as these words were spoken, no matter what the courtier's intentions were, he would be regarded by everyone as a diehard loyalist of King Jinyang. The emperor is not about to die, but he needs a prince to stabilize the overall situation. The eldest son of the emperor has already made a conclusion, but it is just a matter of ceremony. Soon there was no opposition from the DPRK and China. At most, there is some discussion, saying that the eldest son of the emperor will stay in the throne first, and wait for the emperor to have a third or fourth prince. It's not too late to talk about whether the prince wants to change people.

The eldest son of the emperor knew this.

He was locked up in the East Palace for a few days, and he was very quiet, reading books every day except for eating and sleeping. After walking out of the East Palace, the whole person lost a lot of weight, but the person seemed more calm. Faced with the emperor's determination to hold a ceremony for him, he calmly accepted. Facing the news of the queen's death. The news that the emperor ordered the empress to be buried with the imperial concubine ceremony, he also accepted it calmly. He was genuinely calm, not pretending. The Queen Mother and the Emperor saw it. It's just that he has undergone great changes and is sensible, but he doesn't take it to heart.

No one knew that he was after the end of the ceremony. In a remote and uninhabited corner of the palace. I met with Gao Zhen alone.

Gao Zhen congratulated him on finally becoming the prince, and said in a low voice: "This is still the beginning, you are so filial to the Queen Mother and the emperor, listen to the words of the elders, don't make a fuss." As long as you have a stable position, Erlang and the princess will be fine. As for the position of the queen, the emperor has never been abolished, but it is slightly lacking in etiquette. It's a big deal that you can give her a few more honorific titles in the future, so you don't have to take it to heart. ”

The eldest son of the emperor smiled bitterly: "Brother doesn't have to comfort me. I know it in my heart. Don't worry, I won't be confused. Mother...... It is in order to allow me to sit in this position, I chose the point of no return, if I mess around in front of the emperor's grandmother and father, and make trouble with the storage position, wouldn't I have failed the mother's hard work? "It's just," he paused, "just...... The elder brother should also know what the courtiers are thinking. For them, I'm just a tool to calm down the big picture. When my father has another outstanding prince, I should abdicate and make way for Xian. ”

Gao Zhen Zhengse said: "This was originally said by my father to the emperor, and I won't hide it from you." ”

The eldest son of the emperor was shocked and lowered his head sadly.

Gao Zhen continued: "The emperor may really have this heart now, but no one knows what the future holds. The most important thing is to let you sit in the storage seat first. If you have been doing a good job, you are at least a dozen years older than your younger brothers, and you have experience in handling government affairs, and when the emperor is not in court, you have always been in charge of the country, and the courtiers know how good you are. Even if the emperor favors his youngest son, the courtiers will not support him for easy storage. ”

The eldest son of the emperor looked up at him suddenly, his eyes full of surprise.

Gao Zhen smiled slightly: "The emperor wants to do expedient measures, can't you be expedient?" ”

The eldest son of the emperor understood, he was a little excited, and he grabbed Gao Zhen's hand tightly, not knowing what to say: "I...... I ......"

Gao Zhen patted him on the shoulder: "There are some things you don't have to say, I understand it in my heart." It's just that the road is paved for you, but my father and I can't walk for you. What happens in the future depends on your ability and creation. ”

The eldest son of the emperor said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will do my best and never let the imperial uncle and brother down!" ”

It's just that he is still a little worried: "My father asked me to start assisting the government tomorrow, I don't know if I can do a good ......job."

Gao Zhen said: "How old are you?" It's just that I listened to it for half a year, and I went around the various departments a few times, and I probably knew some rules. It's normal to don't do well at first, but you can't be too stupid, so as not to misunderstand that you are not good. If you don't understand something, just ask the emperor, don't make your own opinions. The emperor's eyes are inconvenient, so you can read the words on the fold to him, and don't hide a word. The emperor scolds you, you just have to listen, if you make a mistake once, don't make it a second time. If you have any questions about government affairs, you can ask important ministers. If you have any questions about learning, you can ask Taifu. If you have any doubts about palace affairs, go to the imperial grandmother. You don't have to pay attention to the others. ”

The eldest son of the emperor listened all the way, so he nodded all the way, and after listening, he hesitated: "Can't I go and ask the imperial uncle or brother?" ”

Gao Zhen smiled: "No." If we happen to meet in the palace, it doesn't hurt for our brothers and sons to say a few words in private. Don't call me into the East Palace to discuss. If you are really in trouble, go and tell your grandmother, and she will decide whether you need my father and me to help you. ”

The eldest son of the emperor understood and said solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Gao Zhen nodded, hesitated, and said: "The royal family of the clan, you just pay respects according to the number of courtesies, no matter who invites you, you have first asked the emperor what he meant, and then decide whether to accept it or not." Most importantly, don't pay attention to King Jinyang! You don't have to go to a place you're not familiar with just to make friends with someone. You are the prince of a country. There's no need to put down your body to fight for a good popularity, that's the duty of the subordinate officials of the East Palace, not yours. ”

The emperor's eldest son's eyes flashed: "Brother is afraid that I will fall into someone else's trap?" ”

Gao Zhen smiled: "You know it in your heart." It can be seen that he is a person who understands. Since you are a man of understanding, I do not need to tell you many more things. Don't be long-winded with me, I'm talking to you about this, just hoping for your good, not seeking fame or profit, just asking you not to misunderstand my father and me. ”

The eldest son of the emperor said with red eyes: "Brother, don't say such things, I know in my heart who is really good to me." If I am like ......" paused. "If I am ungrateful, let me be struck by thunder from heaven, and I will not die well!"

Gao Zhen smiled: "Just talk well." What spell to bet on? Can't I trust you? What should be yours is still yours in the end, and neither my father nor I will fight with you, but others may not be so kind. You just be careful. ”

The eldest son of the emperor nodded: "I will." Through this change. I already knew in my heart who really cared about me. I don't dare to say anything to repay, but I will keep the kindness in my heart and will never forget it in my life! ”

This is the heart of the emperor's eldest son, he knows very well that when his position is in jeopardy, it is the king of Guangping and Gao Zhen who really pull him. The Queen Mother also sheltered him, and his fiancée Li Shanwen stopped the Queen from saying more things that shouldn't be said in time. To save him from a greater blow, the Li family even united a number of courtiers to write to protect his life. In order to repay everyone's kindness, he will definitely redouble his filial piety to the Queen Mother in the future, respect the imperial uncle and cousin, truly respect his unmarried wife, and never let her be wronged.

Gao Zhen smiled when he heard this, and he could see from the expression of the eldest son of the emperor that the other party was sincerely grateful. That's enough. As for whether the eldest son of the emperor will change his original intention in the future - with him, this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen.

When Gao Zhen and the emperor's eldest cousin had a small gathering, the two brothers of the emperor and the king of Guangping were also having a conversation in the apse of the Qianqing Palace.

At the ceremony, the emperor felt that his right eye hurt badly, and he had obviously taken painkillers in advance, but the effect of the medicine was getting shorter and shorter. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to lose his honor, he was afraid that Lichu's will had not yet been read out, so he couldn't help but turn around and find the imperial doctor for medicine.

He felt that something was very wrong.

Although his eye injury was serious, the imperial doctor clearly said that it could be saved that day, and the prescription prescribed for days seemed to have some effect, and he felt much better after eating it. However, after a long time, the injury did not improve at all, and the right eye was still red and swollen more and more, how could this be a good sign? Although the emperor is not a doctor, he is not a fool. He faintly felt in his heart that the medical skills of people in the hospital might be a little unreliable.

But there was no news from Dr. Ye for a long time. The information provided by Zhao Xiu and Gao Zhen is true, but unfortunately Dr. Ye only stayed in his hometown until the twentieth day of the first month, and then went out with his scholar to continue his studies. He traveled to various state capitals in the world, accumulating experience while practicing medicine, and at the same time consulting famous doctors for medical skills, and the itinerary was very arbitrary, and no one could predict his whereabouts in advance. The secret envoy in the palace pounced on his hometown, and then looked around, but he never found anyone. Even if they heard where he had gone, by the time they caught up with him, the man had already left. Originally, if the government had been notified to cooperate, things would have been much easier. Helplessly, before the emperor sent people out, he repeatedly instructed the local authorities not to know the truth, and the secret envoys could only visit on their own. Delayed to this day, they have not been able to bring Dr. Ye back to the capital.

The people in the hospital were unreliable, and Doctor Ye couldn't find it, the emperor was irritable because of his injury, and the good brother of King Guangping naturally couldn't watch his younger brother be anxious, so he pushed Jiang Cheng at him.

Jiang is also a member of the Tai Hospital, but he has always been closer to the Guangping Wang family. When King Guangping was injured, he was one of the chief physicians, although he was not as capable as Dr. Ye, and cured King Guangping's eyes, but he also conditioned King Guangping's body well, and did not make the condition of the latter's eyes worse, so that Dr. Ye could heal the current affairs with half the effort. Therefore, King Guangping felt that even if Jiang Cheng didn't cure the emperor's eyes, at least he could make the emperor feel better.

The emperor agreed. He has now regained eighty percent of his trust in his brother, and he still has two suspicions, but he also feels that a doctor can't do anything. Besides, Jiang Cheng's medical skills are clear to him, if he hadn't pointed Jiang Cheng to the Guangping Palace, he became the exclusive imperial physician of the Guangping King, and he reconciled with his brother, maybe Jiang Cheng would have been recalled to the palace long ago.

No one expected that Jiang Cheng knelt down for the emperor to check the pulse, untied the bandage of his eyes, and after carefully examining the emperor's wounds, he immediately took a few steps back and knelt on the ground: "The emperor forgives the sin." Wechen didn't dare to say anything, but he ...... Looking at the injury of the emperor's right eye, it is clear that it is already ...... Oh no. Wechen is incompetent, I really don't know how to diagnose and treat! ”

"What did you say?!" The emperor was stunned, and then became furious.

King Guangping was also very surprised, and he suppressed the emperor: "Don't worry, the emperor, wait for the ministers to ask carefully." So he asked Jiang Cheng: "What's going on?" You've made it clear! ”

Jiang Cheng said in a trembling voice: "Weichen really doesn't know. When the emperor was injured, Weichen was not in the hospital, but only heard others mention it, saying that although the emperor's eye was seriously injured, there was still room for recovery, and he looked at the prescription again, thinking in his heart, judging from the prescription, the emperor's injury was indeed not serious, and the court, the court and several senior doctors with old qualifications were all there, so it was no problem to think about it. For more than a month, Weichen heard that the emperor's injuries were repeated and had not improved, and the whole hospital was worried, and he had doubts in his heart. But today, Weichen took a closer look at the emperor's injuries for the first time, and found out...... If the medical records of the Tai Hospital are not mistaken, the emperor's injuries are clearly ...... It's clearly aggravated! This was really a big surprise to Wechen, so Wechen didn't know what to do with ......"

The emperor was extremely angry when he heard this, and his whole body trembled, and when King Guangping saw this, he stepped up his pursuit of Jiang Cheng: "Don't worry about pleading guilty, I'll let people take the prescription prescribed by the Tai Hospital for more than a month, you can take a closer look from the beginning, but there is anything wrong." ”

Fang Zi quickly took it, as well as the medicine residue of the past two days. Jiang Cheng carefully examined it and found that there was no problem without prescriptions and medicines, the only problem was that the emperor's eye injuries were so serious now, so red and swollen, and the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctor in charge were still stable and tepid...... It's going to be a delay!

Thinking about it like this, I really don't know if the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctors were reliable when the emperor was just injured. The emperor has always been careful, and he can't help but think: If the imperial doctor was attentive to him at the beginning of the injury, then would he have recovered from his injury at this time?

The emperor couldn't help but make up for it, and then ordered someone to investigate, and found that the two imperial doctors who gave the diagnosis and prescription that day were very coincidental in a few days after the fact, because of some minor problems that angered him, he was kicked out of the imperial hospital, and left the capital in a hurry.

Is there such a coincidence in the world?

The emperor ordered someone to track it down, and it was not surprising to find that after one of the imperial doctors left the palace, he had seen a steward in the palace of Jinyang. It is said that the two talked for a moment on the street corner, and the imperial doctor quickly left. What they said, no one knows.

King Guangping guessed that maybe it was King Jinyang's people who wanted to find out the emperor's injuries from the mouth of the imperial doctor, but what the emperor made up in his brain was another version.

He believed that his eye injury was aggravated, and that the King of Jinyang deliberately instructed people to harm him.

The emperor was immediately furious and ordered someone to arrest the imperial doctor and the steward, whose whereabouts were unknown, and the steward who had met him had been drunk and fell to his death two days earlier.

There can be no such coincidence in the world.

The emperor already had the answer in his mind. When Jiang Cheng judged that his right eye was basically doomed to blindness, and he had to be careful that it would affect his left eye, his hatred for King Jinyang could no longer be concealed.

King Guangping worriedly persuaded him: "The emperor is angry, and now there is no evidence, only speculation ......"

The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Huang, don't worry, I know the measure, and I won't touch him for a day without clear proof." It's just that...... Since he has done such a thing, he is no longer our brother! (To be continued......)
