After Yan Wuji came out, Qiu Xin called Liu Zhilan, who had been waiting outside the door, in, because his Shangguan was still in the mansion, so he couldn't leave alone, Liu Zhilan walked out not long after entering, and his expression was not the slightest strange, at least on the surface.

He didn't take the initiative to tell Yan Wuji what the battalion commander was looking for him, and Yan Wuji didn't ask, just like Liu Zhilan didn't ask him, the two of them carried their own thoughts, and walked side by side to the north of the city without saying a word.

……

The time slowly enters autumn, the weather gradually has cooler, the lively Yanjing City floats in the sky with the hustle and bustle of prosperity, and there are huge ships in and out of Yanjing Port in the south of the city, carrying warehouses full of golden grains, there are official ships, there are also merchant ships.

A group of people waiting to buy grain lined up in the halls of the major grain stores in an orderly manner to the street outside, looking forward to the abacus played by the bookkeeper's men, and after a long time, his heart suddenly relaxed, "Finally, another person has passed." ”

Outside the street, the peddlers and pawns picked or pushed the golden rice along the street, shouting and carefully dodging the pedestrians and peers who walked by, and gold became the main color in Yanjing Port at this time.

Outside the dock in the distance, there was a slender man who was not afraid of the cold, bare-chested and plunged into the river where the boats came and went, and then a fierce man pierced far away, and after showing his head, he reached out and touched the river water flowing down his face, sprayed the water in his mouth high, and then plunged into the water again with a proud face in the cheers of the people around him.

These performances can often be seen in the south of the city, are some excellent sailors in the water to show everyone their superb swimming skills and diving ability, their main purpose is to attract the attention of those caravan owners in the past, if you can join those caravans, it can be regarded as a bite to eat, if you can not get the approval of the caravan, you can also attract a burst of applause, it can be regarded as a prize for yourself.

The slender man plunged into the water again, just when the surrounding onlookers were ready to applaud and cheer for him, he did not come out of the water as before, time passed little by little, the slender man still did not appear, there was already a little commotion on the shore, and the slender man's companion hurriedly took off his shirt and prepared to go into the water to search and rescue.

The surface ......of the water was broken again, and the slender man resurfaced from the water, his hands held high above his head, and on top of his hands he grasped a big fat fish, and struggled in vain in his hands.

There was a cheer again, mixed with exclamations, and the laughter and scolding of his companions, and the slender man's act of diving and catching the fish was obviously very effective, and at this time he had succeeded in attracting the attention of some caravans, and the slender man intended to show his hand again, and did not throw away the fish, so he held it on his head, and plunged into the shore one after another.

"Lao Zhong, you can do it, such a big fat fish, it's enough for a few snacks for my brother tonight." One of his companions, who was standing on the shore, looked at the slender man who was getting closer and closer, and laughed.

The slender man who was called the old bell was also proud of his performance, and the eyes of the caravan bosses just now were naked to solicit, and the days of pulling the fiber were about to leave him, and the days to come will definitely get better and better.

Another fierce man plunged down, Lao Zhong suddenly felt a pain in his ankle, thinking that he had been in the water for a long time, and he had a little cramp, thinking that this was not a good thing, and he had to go ashore quickly.

But then he suddenly realized that he was not swimming towards the shore, but getting farther and farther away from the shore, and the people on the shore also looked at him with a puzzled look on their faces, and some were still applauding him, thinking that he was playing some trick again.

The speed of being dragged is getting faster and faster, and the old Zhong only felt that his two legs were completely unable to move at this time, and the ankles seemed to be bitten tightly by something, and there was a burst of pain, but the old Zhong couldn't care about the pain now, but the fear in his heart gradually dominated all his emotions, and the big fish in his hand didn't know where to throw it, the old clock fluttered his hands frantically, and a pair of frightened eyes begged to look at the people who were gradually moving away from him, he opened his mouth wide and wanted to shout for help, But he was poured into his throat by a mouthful of river water, and then the whole person disappeared into the vast river.

The crowd on the shore also discovered the abnormality of the old bell just now, but no one dared to enter the water at this time, they knew that there was something under the water of Yanjing Port now!

Then the originally lively Yanjing Port fell into a panic, and the timely intervention of the Yannan Water Division Yamen avoided the chaos, but the merchant ships on the river had become scarce at this time.

The news spread like this, and the news spread in Yanjing City, and people were talking about what was going on underwater.

Except, of course, one place, the Yanjing Palace!

At this time, although the Yanjing Imperial Palace did not discuss the things under the river, it was not clean, just because His Majesty the current emperor, the Emperor Yanshu of the Great Yan Kingdom, fell ill.

This illness came very suddenly, and there was no warning in advance, Yan Shuyi was still fine before going to bed last night, but at the time of this morning, the attendants who served Yan Shu to wash and dress waited left and right, and they didn't see Yan Shuyi get up from his bedroom, without his permission, these attendants did not dare to open the door and enter, seeing that the time of the court was coming, they were so anxious that the attendants who were waiting outside were like ants on a hot pot.

Because they missed the time of the last dynasty, they were the first to ask for the blame, and they were all going to be beheaded!

In desperation, Liu Jian could only knock on the palace door, carefully calling Yan Shuyi, but still did not respond, Liu Jian had the courage to push open the door of Yan Shuyi's bedroom, thinking that it was a knife both horizontally and vertically anyway, rather than being beheaded for delaying the time of the court, it was better to bravely enter His Majesty's bedroom and die bravely.

But I don't know if I don't break in, and I'm scared when I break in.

There was no figure of Yan Shuyi on the dragon couch in front of Liu Jian and the others, but on the cold marble floor in the dormitory, Yan Shuyi was found lying motionless, at this time, Yan Shuyi could only look at Liu Jian and a few people who came in, and he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers, and his bloodshot eyes were like bloodthirsty demons, which made Liu Jian and the others frightened in their hearts.

But it was His Majesty the Emperor, and Liu Jian and a few people were frightened, so they hurriedly ran up, and then carefully carried Yan Shuyi to the dragon couch and put it away, but they were horrified to find that Yan Shuyi's body was hotter than the meat cooked in the pot.

The emperor is sick!

If Yanjing Port was a topic of conversation for the common people after tea and dinner, then the fact that Emperor Dayan fell ill was the news that made the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty restless.

Outside Yan Shuyi's dormitory, there were groups of anxious Yan courtiers, who sometimes walked back and forth, sometimes exchanged heads and ears, sometimes looked at the dormitory, and sometimes shook their heads and sighed.

At this time, they can't worry about this kind of thing, Yan Shu is in the prime of life, and because of the cultivation of extreme martial arts in the past, his body and bones are very good, so although he is almost thirty years old and has not married and had children, the courtiers have not said anything.

But today he suddenly fell ill, and the situation is still extremely unoptimistic, when Emperor Hui died young, he still left a little blood, and he also made sufficient preparations for the future, but he now has no time to leave any will, and now the entire Yan Kingdom is still facing Hu Meng's southward juncture, in case there are three long and two short, then Da Yan will be completely messed up?

What's more, he has quietly turned his attention to Jinran.

Jin Ran was also waiting outside Yan Shuyi's bedroom at this time, he didn't talk to others, just standing alone in the position closest to the door, his eyes closed and his brows were locked, he didn't talk to others, and others didn't dare to take the initiative to talk to him, and what he was thinking, no one knew at this time.

I don't know how long it took to diagnose, the imperial doctor who went in to diagnose walked out with the medicine box on his back, and the ministers who had been waiting for a long time swarmed up, staring at the old lady doctor tightly, and if he was not right, he was going to be eaten alive.

"How is Your Majesty?" It was none other than Jinran, who had been closing his eyes and frowning just now.

The old lady doctor hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty's dragon body is worry-free, but it is as weak as losing the essence of the whole body, and it needs to be recuperated for a while." ”

"Hu ......" is not only Jinran, it seems that all the ministers have put down their hearts at this time, as long as His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom has no worries, it will be the best result.

"Then when will Your Majesty be able to govern again?" One of the ministers asked, following the prestige, it was Gong Jia, the criminal secretary of the first army of Gu Baichuan who had been above the court before, and he was actually worried that if Yanshu could not manage the government in a short period of time, then the power would naturally return to the hands of Jinran, which was something that those anti-Jin factions who had worked hard to dig out a little power from the hands of Jinran and his family did not want to see.

The old lady doctor shook his head: "Your Majesty's dragon body is too weak, I guess ...... Maybe...... Probably....... ”

After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't give a specific time, but he just sighed, "Xia Guan doesn't know!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was naturally happy and worried, for example, Gu Baichuan, the secretary of the military department, couldn't help but quietly "hehe" twice in the back.

Everyone gathered around the old lady doctor and asked again, but Liu Jian walked out of it at this time and said softly: "Your Majesty needs to rest, so don't make noise here." ”

Liu Jian's words were very polite, and his tone was also very soft, because none of these courtiers present could not afford to offend, in case anyone was in a bad mood and gave him an ugly look, then he had to say a word, with the "Five Rings of the Palace People" left by Emperor Zhaolie, Liu Jian would not dare to make a mistake no matter what.

The imperial court blocked the news that His Majesty the Emperor was ill, because this was not good news for the current Yan Kingdom, but if it was a blockade, it was only for the middle-level nobles and low-level people, and the high-level of the empire could not hide it.

In the face of Yan Shuyi's sudden illness, people with different thoughts naturally have different actions, and Lu Wang Yan Shuheng is such a person with different thoughts.

When he first received the news that Yan Shuyi was ill and couldn't manage the government, he obviously didn't believe it, but after repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the matter, he ran into the palace in a puff of smoke, of course, not to see his sick imperial brother, but to find his biological mother, the Empress Dowager Chu.

The emperor can't manage the government, so someone has to stand up and supervise the country on his behalf, and the identity of the person who supervises the country cannot be a courtier with a foreign surname, this person must be a member of the royal family, there has been a queen mother in the past, and there have been princes in the past, and Yan Shuheng, as the king of Lu, is also the half-brother of Emperor Yan Shu, so he naturally has this qualification, so he rushed into the palace, not for anything else, just to let his biological mother Empress Dowager Chu help him win the position of the prison country.

You must know that if you can stand in this position, if Yan Shu really has three long and two short this time, then he, the prince of the prison country, is the most direct successor to the throne, even if Yan Shu recovers later, he can also rely on the merits of the prison country this time to improve his prestige and status, at least his title will not be reduced when the next generation inherits.

It can be described as a sure-fire deal!
