Tianqi has felt a little unwell since the beginning of the year, and at first he was only slightly uncomfortable and thought it was not a sudden major illness, but this uncomfortable situation was slowly aggravating, and then he was awake and confused every day, and even the imperial doctor in the palace was helpless, and Wu Zhiwang from the medical school came to see it a few times and there was no good way. The latest free chapter of this book, please visit☆ At the beginning, you can still be like a normal person, only occasionally dizzy, and then it gets more and more powerful, and every time you can't say two sentences, you want to sleep, and the doctor looks at it a few times, sometimes saying that the pulse is stable and there is no big problem, and sometimes it is said that the pulse is fast and slow, and it is difficult to decide, Wu Zhiwang looked at it twice and didn't speak, and someone asked about only one word that was "wait".

This means waiting, maybe waiting for someone, maybe waiting for something, maybe waiting for a certain moment to come. People inside and outside the palace have their own interpretations and thoughts, the queen and the concubines are naturally guarded with tears, at this time they really feel a sense of crisis and fear, everyone understands that once the emperor is gone, their good days will come to an end, King V is very busy for a while, everything is pressed on him, knowing that the apocalypse is seriously ill and difficult to treat, he often takes the time to visit, but he doesn't come long after the visit, and even the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 is just on the congratulatory table and does not come in person, because he heard bad rumors.

At the beginning of August, there were rumors in and outside the palace, saying that the illness of the apocalypse could not be cured, there was nothing to say about people eating grains and giving birth to all kinds of diseases, even birth, old age, sickness and death were natural laws, but once the emperor left and left no matter what happened, it was a question who should sit on the chair. Although there are now two princes, winter melon and watermelon, one is broken and the other is spare, but he can't sit firmly on the dragon chair with the one-year-old child. Now that the south is also threatening to counterbalance the rebellion in the north, and there are still many internal affairs, internal affairs, economic and other matters to deal with, it is obviously too child's play to let an unweaned doll make a decision.

So everyone set their eyes on the seventeen-year-old King Xin, King V, at first, he was just single-minded about his brother's illness and didn't think about anything else, and every day he was busy with the affairs of the Government Council, and he had to go to the Supervision Yuan to meet with Gao Panlong and Xu Guangqi to see if there were any special events to deal with, and after the end, he would go to the palace to visit Tianqi's illness, fortunately, Gao Panlong was experienced, Liu Zongzhou was knowledgeable, and special affairs could also be handled satisfactorily, but King Xin later saw a strange gaze and thought about his situation, and suddenly understood what was going on now, Frightened, I had to go home and close the door.

The ministers of the court and the central government did not dare to do much except for routine greetings, although the emperor said that he could not do it, but now he has the intention of defecting to the new master, which is looking for death. Everyone knows that people are uneasy at this time, quarrels and quarrels make no power annoying, and those who have the right to say may not be able to sulk‖ Gao Di and Zhao Shujiao, who came back from the front line of the counterinsurgency in Guizhou, have not attracted people's attention, but have made some arrangements according to the convention, everything is based on the illness of the apocalypse, whether it is dead or alive, everyone is waiting for the letter.

Fortunately, Liu Qiao returned to Beijing, and on August 16, Liu Qiao entered the palace to ask for a meeting on the day he returned to Beijing, and Wu Zhiwang, who got the news, also went with Liu Qiao, and Yang Gongchun, who was in charge of internal and external intelligence, knew Liu Qiao's task, and immediately took the two of them outside the Qianqing Palace to wait for the apocalypse to wake up. Apocalypse was in a daze at this time, and there were all kinds of large and small phantoms floating in his world, all of them were black and white, and none of them spoke, so that Apocalypse didn't understand what these people were doing↓ When he was confused, Apocalypse suddenly sobered up, sat up and asked, "Who is outside?" ”

The queen kept watch all night last night, and she couldn't rest assured that others would stay here during the day, and at this time she was resting on the small couch next to her, and when she heard Tianqi's question, she hurriedly got up to look, and saw Tianqi sit up The queen was surprised: "The emperor is awake?" The concubine immediately went to call someone to see it. After speaking, he called the palace maid on duty outside to ask.

After a while, the palace maid and Yang Gongchun, Tan Jing, Wang Tiqian and others all came in, saying that Liu Qiao and Wu Zhiwang were waiting outside to ask to see, and Tianqi asked the queen and others to avoid listening in the back, and then called Xuan Liu Qiao and Wu Zhiwang to come in.

Liu Qiao and Wu Zhiwang gave them a seat after seeing the ceremony, seeing the apocalypse in high spirits, Wu Zhiwang was shocked, for fear that it would be troublesome to return to the light, so he sued him and asked for a pulse for the apocalypse, and after carefully checking the pulse for a while, he smiled and couldn't stop congratulating □ Qiao, who also took out the small wooden box and handed it to Tan Jing next to him for him to present, and the apocalypse asked Tan Jing to open it and take out the topaz himself, looked at it and nodded, and said: "It's really different, Lord Liu will be fine as soon as I come back, this time you have made a great contribution." ”

Liu Qiao hurriedly bowed his head and said: "It is the duty of a minister to serve the emperor, and this time I was able to complete the task thanks to many meritorious people, and the minister did not dare to be greedy for merit alone." ”

Tianqi nodded and said, "Go back and make a list, write down which people have made which merits, and I will reward them in time so that everyone knows that meritorious service will be rewarded." Tell me how you did it this time? What's the surprise? ”

Liu Qiao then started from his exit from the palace, what he saw on the road and what he saw in Guizhou, as well as meeting Qin Liangyu and forwarding the letter to her, and finally talked about the Heavenly Master Temple and the magical cave, and after speaking, he also presented the white cloth with the words printed on the stone drum. Tianqi nodded and asked Tan Jing to put away the white cloth, saying that he had worked hard, let him go back and rest for a few days, and then he would be given a new position, and he would not have to go to the edict to live in prison□ after Qiao left, Tianqi asked Wu Zhiwang: "I remember that half a year ago, Lord Wu said that external forces can be used to increase guidance, and that Lingshi Baoyu can increase the effectiveness of recuperation, do you think how this topaz should be used to play the greatest role?" ”

Wu Zhiwang said: "Since the emperor sensed that topaz could be restored, the minister thought that it was best not to get too close to it, just keep a certain distance." ”

Apocalypse asked, "Why is that?" Is there anything else to say about it? ”

Wu Zhiwang said: "The emperor's illness is because he has two veins and two souls, and the possible benefit of external stimulation is to merge the two into one, and it is also possible to accelerate their separation. ”

Tianqi nodded, and after thinking about it, he asked Tan Jing to put the topaz under the original tower of the Qianqing Palace, and by the way, let him show Wu Zhiwang the white cloth that Liu Qiao brought back, after all, Wu Zhiwang is old and knowledgeable, so he may be able to see what the stone drum is. Wu Zhiwang took the white cloth and looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "The minister is not knowledgeable enough to disappoint the emperor, if the things in it are not known to the ministers, if it is a graphic, you can guess slowly." However, the minister heard that Liu Zongzhou and Lord Liu of the Holy Academy were well-read and strong, maybe he could see something. ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "Master Wu has worked hard, please go back, in a few days, I will invite Liu Zongzhou to come and see, and then Lord Wu will also come together to see what he says, I still have something to tell you." ”

Seven days later, on August 23, Tianqi had recovered after a few days of recuperation, and Wu Zhiwang had received an invitation from the eunuch in the palace to go to Wenzhao Pavilion to discuss matters. He knew that Liu Zongzhou was going to recognize the words he didn't know on the white cloth, and he was very curious in his heart, so he immediately came to the palace, because the apocalypse was now able to leave Huang Yuyuan and it was okay, so everyone came to Wenzhao Pavilion. When Wu Zhiwang came, he saw that not only Liu Zongzhou was there, but also several princes such as King Xin, Chrome, and King Rui were also there, but although King Xin's face was smiling, it was fleeting, but he looked a little uneasy. Wu Zhiwang didn't say much, they all said hello and came to the designated seat and sat down.

Tianqi didn't say much, first asked Tan Jing to send the white cloth to Liu Zongzhou, and let him see if he recognized it□ Zongzhou took the white cloth and looked at it carefully for a while, thought about it and said: "The minister can be sure that these are indeed words, but the minister still doesn't recognize them." ”

Liu Zongzhou is a recognized Confucian in the world, and if he doesn't recognize it, there will definitely be few who will recognize it. But everyone is more strange, since you don't recognize it, how can you be sure that it is a word, not a Taoist deception to draw a talisman? Seeing that everyone was looking at him suspiciously, Liu Zongzhou asked, "I don't know if the emperor and your lords have heard the four meetings?" ”

Seeing Liu Zongzhou's question, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, and Tianqi smiled and said, "Lord Liu said bluntly, our knowledge is not worth mentioning in front of you. ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "The emperor is modest, but the ministers are still inferior to the emperor in many things. Now the matter of Daming is naturally the emperor's illness, so in the past few days, our Supervision Yuan has not been idle, and called Liu Qiao Liu several times, and now we have figured out his itinerary all the way, but the minister still does not believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world. The emperor's illness plus the matter of topaz and the mysterious cave can only be explained by the theory of the four meetings. ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Zongzhou continued: "It has been thousands of years and tens of thousands of years since Pangu opened the world and Nuwa cut the earth to create people, but everything has a beginning and an end, and one day people will disappear from heaven and earth, this process from nothing to existence and then from existence to nothing is called a meeting, and the people who live in heaven and earth now are considered the fourth meeting. ”

Chrome asked in a deep voice: "Lord Liu said this, the emperor called it long live, and the Ming Dynasty will also be ten thousand years, how can it be like Lord Liu said that it will be gone in thousands of years?" ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "The prince misunderstood, the minister just said that tens of thousands of years have passed now, and he didn't say that the Ming Dynasty is about to disappear." ”

Chrome asked, "So how many years do you say for a while?" Is it true that if there are 20,000 years in one and subtract the 10,000 years that have passed, our children and grandchildren will only live in heaven and earth for another 10,000 years, and then all of them will die? ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "One meeting refers to the process of starting from nothing and then from existence to nothing, the short one may only be a few thousand years, and the long one may have tens of thousands or even 100,000 years, and no one can say clearly. Besides, what people say is not accurate, just like Chrome began to say that emperors are called long live, but from the beginning of Qin Shi Huang to the present, how many emperors have lived to be ten thousand years old? Don't say 10,000 years old, is there an emperor who lived to be 100 years old? Therefore, it cannot be based on words of blessing. ”

Tianqi was afraid that Liu Zongzhou and Chrome would quarrel over trivial matters, so he asked: "We all know that the reason why people came into existence from scratch is the reason why Nuwa created people from the earth, but we don't know how people disappeared from heaven and earth, what does Lord Liu think is the possible reason?" If we find the cause, we can give future generations a wake-up call. ”

Everyone nodded yes when they heard it, even chrome nodded again and again, he now eats and drinks well every day without worrying about anything but his children and grandchildren, as long as Daming is in one day, his children and grandchildren will be free for a day, of course, he will find a solution to the problem.

Liu Zongzhou said: "It is estimated that people generally kill each other and cause all of them to perish, and someone once saw a painting carved on a stone wall on a mountain cliff, and there are many things on it that we have never seen." The minister thinks that everything is constantly improving, and the means of killing people will become more and more vicious, and more and more people will be killed, and one day there will be something that can kill tens of millions of people at a time, and everyone will have no scruples about killing, and then they will all die together. ”

King Rui nodded when he heard this and said: "Yes, in the past, I used to kill people with knives, guns, bows and arrows to kill one person at a time, but now I use cannons to kill a group of people at once, and it is not impossible for a huge cannon with a thick water tank to appear in the future, and it is not impossible to kill thousands of people at once it is sent out at that time." ”
