Wen Ling sobbed and said, "Then trouble the imperial doctors, this emperor has been in this situation for several days." ”

The imperial doctors also looked at each other, this county lord can't cure the disease, can they really cure it?

After all the imperial doctors had finished checking their pulses, Wen Ling sobbed and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, the county lord has never been able to find the cause of the emperor's illness, I wonder if the imperial doctors can know?" ”

The imperial doctors all knelt down with bitter faces: "Please atone for the queen's sins, the ministers are incompetent, the ministers are only checked out, there is nothing abnormal about the emperor, it is like falling asleep." ”

Wen Ling knelt on the edge of the bed again and continued to cry, Mu Sheng said: "You all know the emperor's situation, and you must not tell anyone about this matter?" ”

The imperial doctors all nodded, and Mu Sheng said, "Go down." ”

As soon as the imperial doctor left, Wen Ling stood up, because he was crying so much, the whole person twitched and twitched, Wen Ling shouted outside: "Wu Cheng." ”

Wu Chengli pushed the door in, knelt on the ground and saluted: "If the queen has something to do, please give orders, and the lower officials will definitely do it." ”

Wen Ling said: "Send someone to keep an eye on the people in the Tai Hospital, there will definitely be a lot of news tonight, you go, all the news has been intercepted for me, you know?" ”

Wu Cheng took the order and left, and Qingping asked: "Queen Mother, don't you know who these nails are if you say this?" ”

Wen Ling said: "If everyone doesn't receive the news, then the first person to mention the coma tomorrow is the person who gave the emperor medicine, as for those people in the Tai Hospital, let's keep it for the time being." ”

Sure enough, on the second day, this group of ministers came again, making a fuss even more fiercely than yesterday, only to see the Taifu angrily looking at Wen Ling and saying: "County Lord, today, the old ministers will leave the words here, today we must see the emperor, otherwise we will kneel here and not leave." ”

Wen Ling said: "Master Taifu, why do you bother? This is the emperor's intention, and the county lord has no choice, the emperor doesn't want to see you, and the county lord can't do anything. ”

Prime Minister Qin said: "County lord, the old ministers just want to see the emperor, this request is not too much, I don't know why this county lord is delaying in every way?" Could it be that the emperor is not there at all, or has something happened to him? ”

Wen Ling shouted angrily: "Prime Minister Qin, you are bold, you dare to curse the emperor?" ”

Prime Minister Qin said: "The old ministers don't dare, it's just that the county lord has not let us see the emperor, this is the seventh day, so the old ministers are very worried about the emperor, isn't the emperor sick?" Comatose? ”

Wen Ling and Qingping's faces turned white in an instant, everyone was staring at these two people, and now it was even more, so everyone asked anxiously: "County Lord, is it really as Prime Minister Qin said, is the emperor unconscious?" Or is there something wrong with it? ”

Wen Ling's tears fell directly, as if he had been hiding something for a long time, and was finally discovered, Wen Ling sobbed and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that I don't let you see the emperor, but..."

A group of ministers all looked at Wen Ling and said anxiously: "County Lord, what's wrong with the emperor?" What do you mean? ”

Wen Ling said: "The emperor is too sad, he said that he often dreams of the first emperor, this dream of the first emperor every day, which causes the emperor to sleep badly, this does not sleep well, the emperor's temper is not good, even the lord of this county has been beaten and scolded by the emperor several times, don't believe you." ”

Wen Ling raised his wrist, and sure enough, the bruises and purples on it were all the latest wounds.

Wen Ling waited for everyone to finish reading it before continuing: "The emperor's temperament is uncertain now, and I am also thinking about you adults." ”

At this time, there was a lot of noise from the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the sound of smashing things came, all the adults were startled, and Wen Ling said again: "Ladies and gentlemen, listen, the county lord didn't lie to you, the emperor lost his temper again, and the county lord will go in, otherwise the emperor will smash me again, how about it, are there any adults who want to go in to see the emperor now?" ”

A group of ministers hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." Qin Mingyi knew that what Wen Ling said was all false, but he had to retire with everyone.

Back at the Heart Cultivation Palace, Qingping was surprised: "The emperor's poison turned out to be done by Prime Minister Qin." ”

Wen Ling looked at Qingping and said, "Qingping, I wasn't going to tell you about this matter originally, but I need your help now, so I have to tell you about this plan." ”

Qingping said: "County Lord, you can say it." ”

Wen Ling told her all about her suspicions about the Qin Mansion and the letter, Qingping was surprised, and finally asked: "Queen Mother, this is not good for your reputation, if these ministers think that you are trying to rebel, what can you do?" ”

Wen Ling said, "So, we have to create some conditions for them so that they can show the fox's tail together, right?" ”

Wen Ling said: They will definitely all kneel on the main hall tomorrow and ask to see the emperor, then let them see, they know the emperor's current situation, and they will definitely force the crown prince, so it will be much easier.

Sure enough, the next day, all the civil and military officials knelt in front of the Yangxin Palace and asked to see the emperor, and this time even the third prince spoke: "The county lord, the old ministers and others haven't seen the emperor for so many days." ”

"Please also ask the county lord to let us meet the emperor, today, we can see it, and we can see it if we don't see it."

Wen Ling said: "Okay, since the adults insist on seeing you, Qingping will let them go and see you." ”

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and they all rushed in, and when they saw Qi Hongxin lying motionless on the bed, like a sleeper, they didn't know what to say.

Taifu looked at Wen Ling and asked, "County Lord, what's wrong with the emperor?" ”

Wen Ling said helplessly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this incident is not the county lord who has the intention to hide it from you, you should all know that the palace came to the palace in the evening that day, because the father-in-law of Qingping told me that the emperor was sick, let me take a look, and as a result, not only me, but even the imperial doctors could not find out what the reason was." ”

Taifu said dissatisfied: "Then you shouldn't hide it from us, can you hide such a big thing?" ”

Wen Ling said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that I want to hide it from you, the matter of the emperor and the concubine has rushed together, and the envoys of this country are also here, how can this matter be spread out?" I'm already looking for an antidote, and if you don't have to come in and take a look, I'm going to hide it to the end. ”

Taifu said: "County Lord, there are a lot of official affairs waiting to be dealt with now, and there are still so many days of twists and turns, what do you think should be done?" ”

Wen Ling said: "I will find a way here, please rest assured, it's not too early today, you want to see the emperor, just go back." ”

After sending all the adults away, Wen Ling asked, "Is there a queen's palace dress in Qingping Palace?" ”

Qingping nodded and said: "Yes, some time ago, the Ministry of Rites sent the emperor's palace clothes, but they never took them to the Wen Mansion. ”

Wen Ling said: "Go and get it, I will use it tomorrow, and then, before the palace ban, go and inform all the ministers that they will go to court tomorrow." ”

Qingping said happily: "Queen Mother, do you have a way to save the emperor?" ”

Wen Ling shook his head: "No, but I have a way to make the old fox show his tail, you just do as I say." ”

When everyone learned that they would go to court tomorrow, some people were surprised, some people were unwilling, and some people were suspicious, but there was no way to verify it, because the palace was forbidden.

The next day, the civil and military officials came very early, and they were all discussing what was going on, and it was clear that the county lord said that he had no way to save the emperor, could it be that he would wake up this night?

I saw Qingping walk out from the back of the imperial study, the ministers stopped communicating, originally thought that it would be Qi Hongxin who followed behind, but saw two eunuchs moving a soft couch, and a eunuch blocked a bead curtain in front of the soft couch, the ministers were thinking, isn't it going to the unconscious emperor to come to the court?

When everyone was speculating, they saw that several eunuchs had retreated, and Qingping helped Wen Ling out, yes, it was Wen Ling, and the ministers were stunned.

When Wen Ling walked behind the bead curtain and sat down in front of the soft couch, the ministers came back to their senses.

Taifu said: "Qingping father-in-law, what's going on? ”

It was not Qingping but Wen Ling who answered him: "Lord Taifu, this has been said since ancient times, isn't that what Queen Jiang of the previous dynasty is?" Although Bengong does not feel that he can be compared to Queen Jiang, he is willing to follow suit. ”

Prime Minister Qin said: "If the old minister is not mistaken, the county lord has not yet married into the royal family, even if this is to listen to the government, it should not be the county lord." ”

Wen Ling sneered: "Oh? So who does Prime Minister Qin think is suitable? Qin Guifei? ”

Another official at the bottom said: "Even if Qin Guifei can't, there is still the eldest son of the emperor, why shouldn't it be the county lord here?" ”

Wen Ling said with a smile: "Although the lord of this county has not yet married into this royal family, he is also a queen who was married by the emperor and hired by the emperor, and besides, this phoenix seal is in the hands of this palace, do you still have any differences?"

But when it comes to the eldest son of the emperor, the palace thinks it's quite interesting, which has been said since ancient times to marry a wife first and then take a concubine, I don't know what you think? This palace has never heard of it, whose family has not officially entered the door, this little concubine has the eldest son, although this Qin Guifei is a mother, but it is just a royal concubine, this royal concubine is also a concubine, and the kind of cheap concubine that the people say is just a higher status, do you say that what the palace said is reasonable? Lord Qin? ”

Qin Mingyi's face turned blue and white for a while, and he gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "Yes, what the queen said is right, but this matter of government affairs is not as simple as just talking about it, this woman should be at home with her husband and children, embroidery, embroidery, cutting and cutting grass." ”

Wen Ling laughed out loud and said: "This palace wants to teach her husband and children, but unfortunately, this palace does not have the good fortune of Qin Guifei, and she has a body before she enters the palace." ”

Everyone looked at Prime Minister Qin with strange eyes, no wonder at that time, it was okay to let the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion be a concubine, and it was in such a hurry, it turned out that the daughter of the Qin family was indecent, and she had already been secretly married before marriage.

After speaking, Wen Ling covered his mouth and said, "I'm sorry Lord Qin, I also ask Lord Qin to read it for the sake of being young in this palace, and I will only tell the truth, and I ask Lord Qin to forgive me." ”

Qin Mingyi was so angry that he gave an official a look and said, and the official immediately came out and said: "Queen Mother, this flood in the northwest is getting more and more serious, I'm afraid this 300,000 taels of silver is not enough, what should I do when I see this?" ”

Wen Ling said: "Northwest, if this palace remembers correctly, this northwest is flooded every year, right?" The officials below come to ask the court for money at this time of year, and you people only know that they ask for money every day. ”

The official who asked the question said: "Queen Mother, the people of this northwest are also the people of my Daqi, don't Queen Mothers want to give silver?" ”

Wen Ling asked, "What is your surname?" What is the official position? ”

The adult felt inexplicable, but he still replied: "Xiaguan's surname is Yang, and he serves in the household department and specializes in managing agriculture. ”

Wen Ling said: "Okay, Lord Yang, since you were born as a household official, you don't even understand this, then let this palace teach you how to benefit the people and what is for the country."

Lord Yang, you also said that the northwest floods every year, how much silver does the imperial court allocate every year? So that even if the treasury has a lot of silver, it can't withstand such a waste, and you have never thought about how to solve this matter? How did you all become court officials? I only know how to take money to eat, but I have never done practical things.

The reason for this northwest flood is that the terrain is too different, and there is no way to live in this high place, this person can only live in the place, and the grain and fields are also in the low place, in this case, why don't you open up a few big rivers in the high place? Bring all this water to the Peony River?

Isn't the reason for the annual floods in the northwest because there is a river in the upper reaches of the river? In the spring, the people want to irrigate, the water diversion is not appropriate, this time of year, the river water has no place to circulate, will flow to the northwest, causing floods, as long as you go to dig more more tributaries near the river, this kind of thing can be avoided, when the people are farming, you can also introduce the water of this tributary to irrigation, so that this problem is not solved? ”

The official surnamed Yang didn't know what to say for a while, and was speechless, Wen Ling asked, "If there are any other important things, you all said them together." ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites said: "Queen Mother, it depends on your wedding with the emperor is coming, but the emperor is in this situation, the envoys of various countries have already arrived here, what if it is time for the wedding, the emperor has not woken up?" ”

Wen Ling said casually: "These people don't know the rules for my marriage after Emperor Daqi, if the emperor hasn't woken up by that time, then let the two newlyweds wear masks to get married, let's just say what are the customs of our Daqi?" ”

Wen Ling asked again, "Is there anything else going on with the others?" ”

Everyone stopped talking, and Wen Ling smiled: "Since all the ministers are fine, then let's retreat." ”
