On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the court will be held again. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

Although the New Year and the birthday ceremony have passed, with the two major events of the Spring Festival and the Southern Tour approaching, Emperor Deqing was still in high spirits when he was in the last dynasty.

In fact, for the emperors of the past dynasties, life on weekdays, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is extremely boring, although it is rich in the world, but it is bound by all kinds of rules and rules, when should you get up chuáng, when you should eat, when you should govern, when you should deal with the harem concubines, when you should go to bed, there are detailed regulations, will be recorded in the "Living Record", and are also stared at by countless people, their own time and freedom, in the final analysis, there is not much at all.

Every move and details on weekdays also need to be carefully considered, be careful, and act cautiously, otherwise even if it is just a small thing, people will be wrong under a moment of negligence, and it may be a big mess...... In this way, the so-called imperial mind seems unfathomable, but in fact it is a very tiring thing.

It is not that "the world belongs to the emperor", but "the emperor belongs to the world", this difference has created countless heroic monarchs and masters, and also created many dim emperors.

"陛xià, it's time to get up", "陛xià, it's time to eat", "陛xià, it's time to go to court"......

Similar words, every emperor has to hear countless times every day, the word "should", it seems that there are other options, but in fact it is semi-forced for the emperor, as far as Zhao Junchen knows, Emperor Deqing is extremely disgusted with these two words, although he did not express it, but Zhao Junchen in front of Emperor Deqing, but never said the word "should".

This is also one of the important reasons why Emperor Deqing favored Zhao Junchen, in front of Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen has always only considered "what Emperor Deqing wants to do", but never considered "what Emperor Deqing should do".

And because of that. For things like the Spring Festival, the Southern Tour, and the celebrations, the emperors of the past dynasties will always be extremely enthusiastic. Although it will still be bound by countless rules at that time. But compared to usual, there are finally some changes, and there are more lively, and it will not be so boring.

………

That's what I expect. On this day, Emperor Deqing was smiling. According to the plan, whether it is the spring or the southern tour, it will start from this day. It's time to start preparing step by step. Out of such expectations, Emperor Deqing did not mind that the early dynasty would last longer and the discussion would be more detailed.

However, when Emperor Deqing arrived, after the ministers shouted long live, Emperor Deqing looked at the ministers under the imperial steps. But I always felt that something was wrong.

Zhong Aiqing got up.

As Emperor Deqing spoke, he looked carefully among the ministers. Finally noticed something was wrong.

Zhao Junchen is not there!

However, Zhao Junchen is still only a second-grade Shangshu now, and the position he stood in the last dynasty was only in the middle of the front, not conspicuous, so Emperor Deqing was not easy to show Xiàn, pretending to be unaware, and said slowly: "The New Year has passed, and all the major events of this year will also start to be arranged. What I mean, the spring festival is a major event in the selection of materials for my dynasty, it is the top priority, the Ministry of Rites should come up with some plans as soon as possible, as for this southern tour, it can't be negligently delayed, but Zhao Aiqing, the head of the household department, is preparing first, what do you think of Aiqing? ”

While speaking, Emperor Deqing looked down, looked for it, as if he had just found it, frowned, and asked, "Huh?" Why is Zhao Aiqing not here today? ”

To the surprise of Emperor Deqing, the first to answer was not the officials who managed the behavior of the ministers, nor the Metropolitan Procuratorate who monitored the virtues of hundreds of officials, but the crown prince Zhu Heyu, who had always been the most difficult to deal with Zhao Junchen.

Zhu and Yu Shen looked strict, but a little happy, but they jumped between their eyebrows, and raised their voices after coming out of the ranks: "Father, Zhao Shangshu is afraid that he can't be responsible for the arrangement of the southern tour, before this morning, Zhao Shangshu just got off the sedan chair in front of the noon gate, and before he took two steps, as soon as the cold wind blew, he fainted, and I am afraid that he will not be able to govern these days." Therefore, he also asked his father to leave all the arrangements for the southern tour to others for the time being, and according to Erchen's view, Bao Wenjie, the left shì lang of the Ministry of Rites, is experienced, shrewd and capable, and is the right person. ”

Emperor Deqing frowned, but he didn't pay attention to Zhu Heyu's words behind him, and just asked, "Zhao Aiqing actually fainted in front of the noon gate?" What's going on? Is it wind chill or what? Why didn't I get the news? Have you ever been visited by a royal doctor? ”

As he spoke, Emperor Deqing glared at Zhu Heyu, obviously dissatisfied with Zhu Heyu's actions of gloating and taking the opportunity to seize power.

Noticing the god of Emperor Deqing, Zhu Heyu also seemed to feel that his mentality was wrong, not like a gentleman, and he hung his head silently.

As for Emperor Deqing's series of inquiries, the hundreds of officials in the court looked at each other while envying Zhao Junchen's holy family, and obviously they couldn't say a reason for Emperor Deqing's inquiries.

In the end, it was the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Zuo Lanshan who replied: "Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly, but the hour has not yet arrived, the noon door has not been opened, but there is no imperial doctor to summon, I am not good at medical skills, but I can't find anything, just help Zhao Shangshu to the sedan chair, and go back to the house to recuperate." During this period, Zhao Shangshu came to his senses once, but his face was pale and his body was weak, although he still insisted on going to the early court, he was persuaded by me. Now at this time, I think that Zhao Shangshu has returned to the mansion and is being diagnosed and treated by the doctor, but Zhao Shangshu is still young and has always been in good health, so he must be able to recover in a while, and I hope that Your Majesty will not worry. ”

On the other side, Zhan Shanchang was also full of admiration, and after coming out of the ranks, he took out a stack of folds from his sleeve and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Zhao Shangshu's loyalty and patriotism are really amazing, just before Zhao Shangshu left, for fear of delaying the business, he held on to his spirit and handed over these folds to Weichen, which is the household department's entry and exit settlement last year, as well as this year's entry and exit budget, and please review it." ”

While speaking, the eunuch who was waiting on the side handed over the excerpt to Emperor Deqing.

Emperor Deqing didn't review it, but after a moment of silence, he said: "In this case, spread my will, send three imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital, and immediately rush to Zhao Mansion to diagnose and treat Zhao Aiqing's condition. Those three imperial doctors are stationed in the Zhao Mansion. ”

As the eunuchs around him responded and left quickly, Emperor Deqing turned his gaze. But it was settled between Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao. Suddenly spoke: "I heard that Zhao Aiqing had dinner with Zhou Shoufu, Huang Ge Lao and Shen Ge Lao at Jude Restaurant the day before yesterday, why did he suddenly fall ill?" ”

On that day, Huang Yourong invited Zhou Shangjing, Shen Changmao and Zhao Junchen to a banquet, and Emperor Deqing naturally did not know about it. It's just that this kind of courtiers get together and compete for all kinds of transactions. It was a common thing, and Emperor Deqing had always turned a blind eye, but at this time, Zhao Junchen suddenly fell ill. Emperor Deqing couldn't help but be suspicious.

Zhou Shangjing slowly came out of the ranks. sighed and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister also felt strange, that day the old Huang Pavilion held a banquet, and the old minister and Lord Zhao went, but at that time, Lord Zhao looked quite energetic. There was no sign of physical discomfort at all, but the old minister was not in good health. At that time, Lord Zhao also advised the old minister to pay attention to his body, but he didn't expect that the old minister would be fine in the end, but Lord Zhao suddenly fell ill. ”

As Zhou Shangjing's words fell, Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao also nodded their heads again and again, expressing their agreement, and at the same time, there was a slight suspicion and incomprehension between the gods, but more, they were still gloating and happy.

And such a statement and god fell into the eyes of Emperor Deqing, but it dispelled some of the doubts in Emperor Deqing's heart.

………

In the early dynasty, naturally nothing could be delayed because of Zhao Junchen's absence, all kinds of things, what should be discussed still have to be discussed, and what should be decided still has to be decided.

And the most important thing is naturally the preparation of the spring and southern tours.

Among them, the Spring Festival Examination is held every three or four years, and there are old rules and regulations to follow, and there is no need to discuss too much between the monarchs and ministers of the court, and it is just to do things according to the rules and regulations, after all, it is only the preparation stage, although the candidate for the examiner is hot for anyone, but it is not yet time to decide.

On the contrary, the preparation of the southern tour, there can be no longer delay, and the person in charge has a lot of benefits to be gained, Zhao Junchen is a natural candidate, in charge of the household and the inner treasury, and has the support of the Ministry of Industry, and has a lot of influence in the Ministry of Rites, coupled with the full support of Emperor Deqing, no one can compete with him.

But with Zhao Junchen's sudden illness, such a fat difference will naturally attract countless people to scramble, not only the prince's party sharpens their knives, but also Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao's three factions, but also has a tough attitude, a picture of inevitable, and Zhao Junchen's party headed by Zuo Lanshan tried their best to advocate that such a decision should be shelved first, and then discussed after Zhao Junchen recovered from his illness.

It's just that Zhao Junchen's illness, after all, the incident happened suddenly, all factions in the DPRK and China were unprepared, and the candidates proposed by each faction would always be attacked and denied by other factions, coupled with Emperor Deqing's non-committal and ambiguous attitude, in the end, the candidate responsible for the arrangement of the southern tour was still not decided.

The attitude of the various factions in the court, quarrels and contentions, also dispelled the doubts in the heart of Emperor Deqing by three points.

Before the end of the early dynasty, Huang Yourong even couldn't wait to put forward the idea that "during Zhao Shangshu's recuperation, there is no one in charge of the household department, and he should prepare as soon as possible" Yunyun, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to meddle in the household department, seeing that with Huang Yourong's mention of yì, the prince's party, Shen Changmao and even Zhou Shangjing all changed their eyes, and they were all stupid, but Emperor Deqing suddenly announced that he was going to the next dynasty.

It's just that Huang Yourong and others took the opportunity to snatch Zhao Junchen's power, and the doubts in Emperor Deqing's heart were reduced a little, and only three or four points remained.

But for Emperor Deqing, although it was only three or four points of doubt, it was enough to make him feel uneasy.

It is obvious that with the mutual containment of various factions in the DPRK and China, the candidates proposed have their own shortcomings, and the arrangement of the southern tour is most likely to be grabbed by the prince's party.

It's just that if the prince's party is in charge of the southern tour, Emperor Deqing can naturally imagine all the harms it will bring, but he is quite unwilling.

Therefore, after the next dynasty, as soon as Emperor Deqing left the Taihe Palace, he asked the eunuchs beside him, "How is Zhao Junchen's condition?" Is there any news coming back? ”

Zhang De, who was on the side, shook his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, there is no news yet, but I think it's coming soon." ”

Emperor Deqing frowned, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke: "Prepare a casual dress for me, I want to go and see Zhao Junchen in person." ”!。
