"I see, the old man is reckless." Tang Shen said slightly.

The head of the courtyard asked: "My lord, when will the emperor wake up?" ”

"Wait and see."

Not long after Qu Ping finished speaking, he saw the emperor's face twitching, his limbs trembling, and his skin sweating.

The head of the courtyard looked nervously and hurriedly asked Qu Ping: "My lord, what's the matter?" ”

Qu Ping thought for a while, comforted the two and said: "It should be the stage of the battle between good and evil, and when the medicine suppresses the poisonous gas, it should be fine." ”

The three of them nervously watched the emperor struggle on all fours, his face hideous.

After about half a burn of incense, the emperor's movements finally weakened, the sweat gradually subsided, and his complexion and lips became ruddy and shiny.

Tang Shenwei said excitedly: "It's working, it's working!" My lord, you have saved the emperor again! ”

Qu Ping said: "Don't be impatient, calm down." ”

"Yes, yes, it makes the adults laugh." Tang Shenwei said.

After a while, the emperor suddenly sat up on the bed, coughed twice, coughed out a mouthful of black blood and spit on the ground. The emperor breathed a long sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and smiled weakly: "Ah...... Comfortable! ”

Qu Ping said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, you have defeated the king of Yama again." ”

The head of the courtyard and Tang Shenwei hurriedly and carefully helped the emperor to slowly lean on the head of the bed, asking the emperor to rest well and not to move.

Zhao Gou said: "I had just been floating in the dark endless abyss, and I was about to be sucked into a bloody mouth, when suddenly a bright opening was made in the sky, and a big hand stretched out from above, pulling me back. It turns out that this big hand is you! If it weren't for you, I would have fallen into the abyss! ”

Qu Ping said with a smile: "How can the emperor say so powerfully, otherwise it will not cause the emperor to shoot twice." ”

"What?" Zhao Gou was surprised, "You stabbed me again?" ”

"There's no way, the minister can pull the emperor back to the bright world from the endless abyss. Moreover, the minister also contributed a pill of the last elixir in the world! Your Majesty, you have to compensate me well. Qu Ping quipped.

Zhao Gou smiled: "Haha, good! There must be compensation, no jokes! ”

The head of the courtyard interjected at this time: "Your Majesty, you were poisoned before!" ”

Zhao Gou's face turned cold, and he said, "I feel it!" I won't let him go! Or, tell me, who poisoned me, who wants to kill me? ”

Qu Ping said: "The minister said, does the emperor believe it?" ”

"Believe!"

"Qin Hui."

"What?"

"Didn't the emperor say that he believed in the ministers?"

Zhao Gou relaxed his body and plunged into the futon and said, "Is there any evidence?" ”

"Nope." Qu Ping replied very simply and without hesitation.

Zhao Gou glanced at Qu Ping and said, "You want to declare a personal vendetta!" ”

Qu Ping changed the topic and asked: "Is it half a month before the Queen Mother's birthday?" ”

"In less than ten days." Zhao Gou said, "Why is Aiqing asking this? ”

"The minister wants to find out this cancer on the birthday of the Queen Mother and give it to the Queen Mother as a congratulatory gift."

Zhao Gou said: "Birthday is a day that should be happy, will this affect the atmosphere? ”

Qu Ping said: "Then why don't you pick a day for the emperor?" ”

"Let's do it today! It's better to choose a day than to hit the day! ”

"Not today, one less thing."

"What's missing?"

"The minister can't say."

Zhao Gou was helpless, so he said: "Okay, it's on the Queen Mother's birthday." However, you have to be in control, don't spoil the Queen Mother's interest! ”

"Well said." Qu Ping said, "By the way, Your Majesty, the minister's name is not right now, and he can't go back to his home, so you have to correct my name first and set things right." ”

A touch of shame appeared on Zhao Gou's face, and he said, "Can't you let me recover a little?" As soon as I woke up, I told you so much, I was so tired that I didn't have the strength. No, I'm going to sleep! ”

After Zhao Gou finished speaking, he endured the slight pain in his abdomen, shrunk into the quilt, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep.

Qu Ping sat on the stool on the side and said, "The emperor can sleep as long as he wants, and the minister is not in a hurry." But the Queen Mother and Queen Mother are all outside, waiting for a long time. ”

After ten breaths, Zhao Gou had no choice but to give in, opened his eyes and said, "It's hard to sleep peacefully!" Alright, help me up, let the people from outside in, and I'll give you a name now. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qu Ping said, and then asked the two people in the courtyard to help the emperor get up and sit at the head of the bed, and went to open the door of the palace by himself, and said outside, "The emperor is invited!" ”

Except for Qin Hui, everyone outside was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked into the hall.

Qin Hui walked at the end, and glanced at Qu Ping a few times with his eyes dodging, and he was afraid in his heart.

The Queen Mother walked in front, walked quickly to Zhao Gou's bed, and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, how do you feel?" ”

Zhao Gou looked back at the Queen Mother gratefully, then looked at the queen and concubines behind her, as well as Li Gang and Qin Hui, and said, "Very good, I almost had a dragon and a tiger." Please be seated. ”

Empress Wu helped Empress Dowager Wei to sit down, and when she saw that Zhao Gou's spirit was much better, she smiled and said, "The emperor was originally a dragon." "Reading the book nest

Empress Dowager Wei didn't want to listen to them flirting and scolding, and asked, "Your Majesty, is it really poisoned?" ”

Zhao Gou said: "No, how can I be poisoned? It's just that the wound is a little ......."

Zhao Gou looked at Qu Ping and forgot what Qu Ping said before.

"Rejection." Qu Ping reminded.

"Yes, it's just wound rejection. Now it's better, the fever has subsided, the wound is no longer painful or itchy, and I should be able to go to the ground tomorrow! Zhao said.

Empress Dowager Wei said: "The emperor still has a lot of rest, and the ministers can take care of the affairs of the court." Now that the world is peaceful, and the four seas are all close to Song, what else does the emperor have to worry about. The most important thing is to take care of your body! ”

Zhao Gouqiang propped himself up, sat his upper body up straight, and said, "Speaking of ministers, I have something that I must explain to everyone clearly now. ”

Everyone pricked up their ears and concentrated, not knowing what important things the emperor had to announce.

Qin Hui had a bad heart, could it have something to do with Qu Ping?

Zhao Gou said: "I had a slight misunderstanding of King Xiang before, which caused the government and the opposition to shake, and caused the Xiangwang Mansion to be in crisis. I hereby solemnly announce that the previous misunderstanding has been written off! In recognition of Qu Ping's contribution to the imperial court all along, and his heartfelt and special gift to me, Qu Ping was named Prince Xiang! ”

Everyone was shocked, including Qu Ping. This sudden promotion to "prince", this compensation is too big, right?

However, this "Prince Xiang" sounds particularly awkward, and it is easy to mistake people for "Prince Xiang".

The muscles on Empress Dowager Wei's face twitched slightly, and she calmed her face and said, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and you can't do things by temperament!" ”

"I didn't do it spontaneously, but carefully thought it out. My previous approach was indeed biased and almost led the court astray. I am now learning from the pain, and I want to change my past! Zhao Gou then said a decision that made everyone's jaws drop even more, "I want to issue an edict to the world!" ”

Qu Ping was the first to object: "Your Majesty, no!" You are the Ninety-Five, the saint of the world, how can you sin yourself? Besides, the emperor's guilt lies in the ministers, it is the ministers who did not reveal their hearts to the emperor, and the ministers did not report their thoughts to the emperor, which caused misunderstandings! ”

Li Gang also said: "Your Majesty, you can restore the reputation of King Xiang and be crowned Prince Xiang, which is already the greatest reward for Lord Qu." The emperor wants to issue an edict against himself, and the old minister thinks it is inappropriate. ”

Empress Dowager Wei said: "That's right! You are a dignified person, how can you casually blame yourself like this? ”

Zhao Gou said: "The sage said that when there are three provinces a day, you can become more and more sophisticated. As the king of a country, if I don't even have the courage to face myself, what can I talk about leading the Great Song Dynasty to create a peaceful and prosperous world! What to talk about wisdom and martial arts! In ancient times, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty once sinned himself because of natural disasters, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also sinned himself because of man-made disasters. I have made up my mind, no need to say more! ”

The emperor experienced a series of illnesses, and went back and forth twice from the line of life and death, as if he had grown a lot, and the majesty of his speech was even more convincing.

Empress Wu said at this time: "If the emperor thinks carefully, he will naturally be worthy of the world." This palace supports the emperor! As the queen, this palace can't always remind the emperor, there is also a mistake, please ask the emperor to count me in the edict! ”

"You ......" Empress Dowager Wei was so angry, "are you going to be angry with this palace?" ”

Concubine Xing, Concubine Pan and Concubine Na glanced at each other and said together, "Count us too!" ”

Zhao Gou nodded: "Okay!" Write about the emperor and the harem! ”

Empress Dowager Wei brushed her face aside: "Ridiculous! ”

Zhao Gou ignored the Queen Mother, and said to Qin Hui: "Qin Aiqing, all those things about Prince Xiang will be invalidated. Concentrate on your job! ”

Qin Hui saw that the emperor did not mention his bad speculation about Qu Ping, and he put his heart at ease, hoping that the emperor could really ignore his past suspicions.

Qin Hui said: "Yes, Your Majesty! However, how to conclude the case of the first emperor? ”

Zhao thought for a moment and said, "The first emperor was killed by the Jin people, and everyone knows it for a long time, what else do you need to conclude?" ”

Yes, you are the emperor, everything you say is right.

Qin Hui had no choice but to say, "The minister understands." ”

Since the emperor said that the first emperor was killed by the Jin people, he took this opportunity to say a fair word for Qin and Han, he said: "Your Majesty, the first emperor was killed by the Jin people, so ...... the Qin and Han people?" ”

Zhao Gou understood, and waited for Qu Ping's glance, you have to inch in!

"Lord Qin Han unfortunately died of illness in prison, and he was indeed wronged. Remembering his meritorious service in destroying gold, he should restore his reputation and compassionate his family. Zhao said.

Li Gang said: "The mother of the Qin and Han dynasties also died of illness shortly after that, leaving only an eighteen-year-old daughter, who is now teaching the workshop to play the qin. ”

"Bring her up and return her to the good people." Zhao said.

Qu Ping said: "Thank you to the emperor for Lord Qin!" ”

Zhao Gou said: "Okay, it's nothing, let's end here today." I'm a little tired. ”

Li Gang and Qin Hui were about to say goodbye, but they heard Qu Ping say again: "Your Majesty, Mu Guogong was also imprisoned because of me, will you also release him?" ”

Qin Hui immediately said: "Your Majesty, the relationship between Mu Guogong and Manichaeism has not been clarified, and it cannot be released now." ”

Zhao Gou said: "Mu Guogong's matter, let's talk about it after we find it out." ”

Qu Ping was helpless, Yue Fei was on the stand of Manichaeism, there must be something strange about this matter, he must be investigated and confessed, and he must be given justice.

Qu Ping said: "The minister also returned to the house. Your Majesty, the minister's mansion? ”

Zhao Gou said: "Withdrawn." ”

"What?"

"The people outside have withdrawn! You take Chen Chong and withdraw in person! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Qu Ping said happily.

Tang Shenwei saw that Qu Ping and others were about to leave, and hurriedly asked Qu Ping: "Prince Xiang, how should the emperor deal with this injury?" ”

Qu Ping listened to the three words "Prince Xiang", very awkward, next time he finds an opportunity, before the emperor officially announces it, he must let the emperor change this title, it's too funny. A young talent like himself, do you still need a blind date, you have never been on a blind date!

Qu Ping replied to Tang Shenwei: "You can change the dressing and adjust the care every day." ”

Li Gang, Qu Ping, and Qin Hui said goodbye to the emperor and were about to leave, Qu Ping turned back to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, if you are not summoned in person, the emperor will only be allowed to enter the palace during this period of recuperation. ”
