Emperor Chongde was reviewing the chapters, and the eunuch Wang Zhixing was waiting on the side. Wang Zhixing is the godson of Wang Dehua, the eunuch of the palm seal, and is very promoted by Wang Dehua. Emperor Chongde didn't look up, but Wang Zhixing saw Wang Dehua coming from afar, and when he arrived at the door, he stopped there when he saw that the emperor was reviewing the chapter, but he kept sticking out his head to look inside, as if something was wrong. So after Emperor Chongde finished approving a piece of music, he whispered: "Emperor, the prince is outside, there seems to be something." ”

Emperor Chongde raised his head and saw Wang Dehua outside the door, so he said, "Come in, what's wrong?" ”

Wang Dehua walked in, suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the slave is guilty, Li Guorui died in the prison of Fusi in Beizhen." ”

When Emperor Chongde heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "How did you die?" When did you die? How can you die? ”

"Your Majesty," Wang Dehua said with his head firmly on the ground, "Li Guorui is old, and his body is not good. It was a little cold in the Beizhen Fusi Prison, and he became ill. It was gone last night. It was mentioned by the slave and the emperor last time. The emperor was merciful, and asked the slave maid to ask the imperial doctor to show him, and the imperial doctor prescribed medicine, but ......"

Emperor Chongde paused for a moment, indeed, Li Guorui was sick, Wang Dehua told him, at that time he only thought that Li Guorui was pretending to be sick, and even because of Concubine Tian's matter, he suspected that Wang Dehua was also colluding with Li Guorui and them, but he didn't think about whether Li Guorui was really sick at all.

"Your Majesty, Li Guorui is dead, this matter ......," Wang Dehua said again.

Emperor Chongde settled down, he knew that he couldn't give up halfway at this time, if it was because Li Guorui died, he would no longer mention the matter of letting the emperor's relatives "donate", then his own prestige, where does the majesty of the court exist?

"This matter cannot be relaxed, and it must continue to be strictly investigated!" Emperor Chongde said, "Li Guorui is dead, is there no one else in the Li family?" This money must be found out! ”

Wang Dehua replied and withdrew. Emperor Chongde sighed, sat down slowly, and was about to read the following recital, but saw Wang Chengen also standing outside the room, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Chengen came in and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the fifth prince is sick again. ”

Emperor Chongde stood up all of a sudden and said, "What's the matter? Didn't you say that the illness was all cured? ”

Wang Chengen said: "Originally, it was almost better, but after the five princes followed to Qixiang Palace, the imperial doctor said that it was probably because he suddenly changed places, he was not used to it, and the disease was not completely cured, so he had another attack." ”

Emperor Chongde hurriedly asked, "What else did the imperial doctor say?" ”

"The doctor said that the disease was originally cured, but now there is a recurrence, but there is some ......."

"Something!" Emperor Chongde asked anxiously.

"Hooray, said the Imperial Doctor, something dangerous. Now several imperial doctors have carefully prescribed a pair of medicines together, saying that it depends on how tonight is, and if there is nothing to do tonight, it should be fine. Emperor, the five princes have their own natural appearance, and there must be nothing wrong. ”

Emperor Chongde said: "Wang Companion, go to Qixiang Palace with me." ”

……

Qixiang Palace is a cold palace, and it has always been a place where those concubines who have fallen out of favor live. The Forbidden City has been used for two hundred years, and many places have been very old, in recent decades, because of the lack of imperial finances, the Forbidden City has no funds for repairs, that is, some serious halls, all of which are dilapidated, and the Qixiang Palace, which is a cold palace, is naturally not managed, so most of the houses here are dilapidated. A lot of the rooms were leaking and leaking.

Hearing that Emperor Chongde was coming, Concubine Tian hurriedly came out to greet her. She was originally a very beautiful woman, but in the past few days, she was suddenly beaten into the cold palace, and her son was suddenly seriously ill, and the doctor said that it was very dangerous. When Emperor Chongde saw Concubine Tian's appearance, his heart softened, but he didn't know what to say, so he only said, "How is Ahri?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine just fed Ahri with medicine, and now Ahri is asleep, so she is in the inner room." Concubine Tian hurriedly knelt down and replied.

Emperor Chongde said, "Go in with me and have a look." Then he walked directly inside, and Concubine Tian hurriedly got up and followed behind.

The fifth prince was sleeping on the bed at this time, but he was not asleep yet. When he heard the sound, he looked over there, but when he saw Emperor Chongde coming over, he said, "Father, father, Ahri is uncomfortable." "The voice was very weak.

Emperor Chongde sat down on the chair beside his bed and said, "Ahri will be fine if you take the medicine." As he spoke, he reached out and touched his forehead, which was really hot.

The fifth prince seemed to want to say something more to Chongde, but his energy was obviously low. Emperor Chongde let him sleep well, then walked out of the room and said to Concubine Tian: "You take good care of Ahri, if there is anything, let someone tell me." ”

At dawn the next day, Emperor Chongde went to Qixiang Palace again.

"How's Ahri?" Emperor Chongde asked.

"Your Majesty, Ahri had a nightmare yesterday, but the fever subsided in the second half of the night, and now he has just slept peacefully. Doctor Zhang, who was on duty at night, came to see him, and he said that if the fever subsided, the problem would not be big, but 'the illness would come like a mountain, and the illness would go like a thread', and it would take a few days for the disease to get better. Concubine Tian replied with red eyes, obviously he didn't sleep all night.

"Ancestors bless." Emperor Chongde muttered silently in his heart. And he said, "Take me in and see Ahri." ”

Concubine Tian took Emperor Chongde into the inner room, and saw the fifth prince sleeping on the bed, and her face was no longer flushed when she saw it yesterday. He reached out and touched the forehead of the fifth prince, it was not as hot as yesterday. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Wang Chengen, you will go to the Tai Hospital in a while and thank a few Tai Doctors for me." Then he looked around again, sighed, and seemed to say something, but did not speak, but got up and walked out.

Out of Qixiang Palace, Emperor Chongde walked to the Qianqing Palace, walked a few steps, and suddenly heard a sound of silk and bamboo from the Kunning Palace.

"What is this?" Emperor Chongde asked.

"Emperor, it will be the queen's birthday in a few days, and Kunning Palace must be preparing." Wang Chengen hurriedly replied.

"Well, let's go over and have a look, then." Emperor Chongde said.

When the emperor arrived at Kunning Palace, Empress Zhou hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Majesty, why is you interested in coming to Kunning Palace today?" Zhou Hou asked.

"I just went to Qixiang Palace to see Ahri, and I came out and remembered that it was your birthday recently, so I came to take a look." Emperor Chongde said.

"The concubine heard that Ahri's illness has also improved a lot today, and it will only get better and better in the future." Queen Zhou said, "It's just that Qixiang Palace is too dilapidated, and Ahri stays there to recuperate, which is not good after all." Your Majesty, Concubine Tian is a little pampered and arrogant, and she doesn't know the general situation, but as long as the emperor is upright, there will be no great harm. It's better to let Concubine Tian and Ahri return to Chengqian Palace. ”

Emperor Chongde listened, thought for a while and said, "You are really virtuous, I still remember that Concubine Tian had an awkward relationship with you last time." It's just that Ahri's illness has just improved, and it doesn't necessarily get better if he moves rashly. And Concubine Tian ...... I still have to teach her a lesson. ”

……

In the underworld, in a deep and difficult place, there is a huge palace. The crimson light in the palace illuminated the surrounding underworld. At this time, the side door of the palace opened, and a dragon cart was driving out of the palace. When the dragon chariot left the palace gate, it was about to fly upward, but at this moment, a purple light shone down from the sky. The dragon cart immediately fell to the ground. At the same time, the bells rang in the palace, and several gates were opened one after another.

At this time, an emperor with a blue-purple light descended from the sky and landed in front of the palace.

At this time, another king wearing a five-clawed dragon robe with a dazzling golden yellow light like a substance, a crown hanging a twelve-bead curtain, and a five-clawed dragon robe walked out of the palace, looked at the blue and purple emperor and said, "Taishan Jun, what do you mean by this?" ”

With this question, a giant dragon covered in red gold faintly appeared above the palace, and the entire underworld shook with this question.

"Your Majesty," that Taishan Jun said quietly, "Your Majesty created the Jokhang and is in charge of the Jokhang Dragon Fortune, so he naturally knows that the Jokhang Dragon Fortune is low now." Every hundreds of years, the number of days changes, and the artifact becomes easier, and it is natural for it to be attributed to the virtuous. Your Majesty naturally knows that there is no dynasty in the world that will not be destroyed for thousands of years, why should you forcibly rebel against the will of heaven? Moreover, now that the Jokhang dragon fortune is mottled and carries all kinds of curses against wishes, Your Majesty is not unaware, if this kind of dragon luck continues, I am afraid that it will not be a benefit to Your Majesty, but a damage. If Your Majesty stops here, when the Mandate of Heaven is over, after the red gold dragon qi dissipates, Your Majesty will still have an evaluation of 'Zhilong Tang Han', and he will be able to maintain the position of pure green, and other sons of heaven will also be able to keep their golden yellow and red. If he forcibly refused to let go, didn't His Majesty see Emperor Xuan of Jin forcibly delaying the dragon fortune, but instead he was cursed by the rebellion in the dragon fortune, so that the current Son of Heaven of the Jin Dynasty, although he still has the name of the Son of Heaven, but his color is only light red, not to mention that compared with His Majesty, it is far from his opponents back then, such as Zhuge Wuhou, and even the courtiers of the year such as Wang Dao and Xie An. Does Your Majesty really want to get to this point? I was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to come to persuade Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty will think about it. ”

Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhao said: "Taishan Jun, what you said makes sense, if the number of days changes, the artifact will be easier, and it can really be attributed to the virtuous people, how can Xingzong be like this?" But if you want to deliver the artifact to the Tartars...... The Emperor of Heaven is not afraid of the power of rebellion? Or do you really think that the power of rebellion can be crushed in hell forever? ”

Taishan Jun arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven naturally has his ideas, and I am just a courtier." I hope Your Majesty won't make it difficult for me. ”

With these words, in the surrounding void, a faint banner appeared, confronting the dragon.

Emperor Taizu snorted, then turned around and entered the palace, and the dragon chariot was also called back. The gates of the palace were suddenly closed, and the dragon in the sky gradually disappeared. Taishan Jun stood in front of the palace and sighed, and then his figure became fading and fading, and finally disappeared, and those banners also disappeared.

At the same time, in a side room of Qixiang Palace, a eunuch was explaining things to three other women.
