Chapter 57: Closing the Door 2
Xu Jingtai and Yu Wen couldn't help but feel a little sad when they heard An Yunmo's arrangement, they came here this time to find out An Yunmo's plan, so they could cooperate with him, and secondly, they also wanted to see An Yunmo's condition, and they were also very worried when they heard that An Yunmo's physical condition had deteriorated. Now looking at An Yunmo's arrangements, he is seeking a way out for An Chao, and An Yunmo is afraid that he will really let go, and An Chao will not be able to mess up in the past year or two with his arrangements.
Yu Wen stepped forward.
"Lord Wang, there are still a few decent disciples under the old minister, if the prince doesn't dislike it, the old minister asked them to find some doctors to show the prince?"
"No need, the number of poisons in this king's body has long been known to the world, if you have the ability, you would have come to this king a long time ago."
"Lord, there is a sentence that the old minister doesn't know whether to say or not?"
"Speak."
"The prince is the son of the former emperor, and he should inherit the unification, but because the prince's appearance is impaired, and the life span of several poisons in his body is unpredictable, it is not suitable to inherit; But now the prince is fine, and has married the princess, presumably next year can hear the good news of the prince and the princess, when the princess gave birth to the eldest son for the prince, according to the ancestral teachings of the royal family of the An Dynasty, the little prince is the one who inherits the unification. ”
Yu Wen pointed, he knew that An Yunmo understood what he meant, now An Chao is in chaos, if An Yunmo has a son, with his current strength and his status as a concubine, no one will dare to say anything about his son inheriting the throne, his son is young, he is no problem as the regent of the regent, even if he dies one day, the royal family and some old ministers will be willing to support his son, and isn't there a princess Duan Qingqian? Her maiden family is the prime minister of Zuo, and her influence in the court is not small.
An Yunmo understood what Yu Wen meant, five years ago when he returned to the city, his father and mother had tried their best to match him and Liu Ruyun, in fact, he also had this plan, Liu Ruyun's father at that time was an auxiliary general, and his power should not be underestimated, and he was a little unwilling at that time, since he was a child, others told him how to be a monarch, and suddenly told him that he couldn't do it, he could only supervise the regent on the side, he was disheartened for a while, and he also thought about marrying a powerful wife, and then give birth to a son, must snatch back what belongs to him, but fate has no choice but to make people, Liu Ruyun pestered him before the accident, and after the accident, he wanted to pester her, but in the end he didn't entangle her.
After his accident, he could only sit in a wheelchair for a period of time, he faced everything in the world with his crippled body, in different positions, different roles, and different experiences, and slowly he found his original heart in this humiliating situation, which was not obsessed with the throne, but with the world in mind, and he slowly let go of the attachment in his heart.
Sometimes the more humble the status and the more embarrassing the situation, the more clearly you can see everything in the world.
An Yunmo found himself in the most unbearable years, and he saw a lot clearly, his mentality was relaxed, his mood improved, and things slowly got better, he tried to use internal forces to expel and suppress the toxicity, and slowly used the power in his hands, and did his best to help those poor people who were more downtrod than him and needed his treatment.
An Yunmo thought of Duan Qingqian, raised the corners of his mouth helplessly, and smiled, he and Qingqian's child?
I'm afraid it's far away, and even if Qingqian is willing, he can't bear to put that burden on her.
Yu Wen and the others didn't know why for a while.
An Yunmo said lightly.
"Don't think about it, let's go down and make arrangements."
"Yes, lord."
The three of them didn't dare to say more, so they had to retreat respectfully.
A few days later, An Yunmo handed over power in the court, and the royal family and princes arrived.
An Yunmo's loud voice lingered in the hall.
"Due to his ill health, this king temporarily stepped down as regent, and in the future, the emperor will discuss major affairs with the princes and clan relatives."
"The ministers obey."
An Yunmo explained well, and was about to leave, when the right prime minister Zhou De walked out and said.
"Qi Emperor, Qi Regent, the minister has something to do."
Zhou De and An Yunsheng had one heart, and An Yunsheng immediately allowed it.
"Prime Minister, please speak."
"Since the regent has been handed over to power, the military power should also be handed over, after all, the body of the regent is ......"
An Yunmo swept over with a look, Zhou De lowered his head, but his mouth did not stop, and continued.
"In order to avoid chaos among the three armies, the regent should hand over the military power, and this Taoist ideal must be understood by the regent?"
An Yunmo said in a cold voice.
"Prime Minister Zhou is also a person who has led soldiers, why don't you understand the law so much? As long as the king has not committed a major crime, even the emperor has no right to return the military power, what kind of role are you? ”
"Everything in the world belongs to the emperor, and the regent is inevitably ......"
Zhou De wanted to continue, but An Yunsheng interrupted.
"Right Prime Minister, that's enough, we'll discuss the matter of military power later. The Lord Regent had been physically and mentally exhausted lately, so he had to go back to his house early to rest. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
An Yunsheng saw that An Yunmo had now released power, and the stone in his heart that had been pressing on him had finally eased a little, An Yunmo now looked weak, even if the military power was placed in his hands, it would not play a role, An Yunmo held the military power better than those imperial brothers who gave it to him.
An Yunmo bowed to the royal family members.
"The An Dynasty has a lot of uncles."
The clan relatives should be polite, they can live until now they are also understanding people, or some people who are not ambitious, they also hope that the country of An Dynasty will be peaceful and peaceful, and the wind and rain will be smooth, since An Yunmo has this explanation, they will definitely do their part, so they have fulfilled their duties as a member of the royal family.
Regent's Palace.
An Yunmo returned to the mansion and ordered.
"Steward Jiang, announce to the outside world that the Regent's Mansion will be closed in three days."
"Yes, lord."
Jiang Jingwen didn't ask anything, he responded respectfully, no matter what the outside said about An Yunmo and Duan Qingqian, at this time, he decided to be in the same boat with the regent palace through thick and thin, and whatever the prince and princess said, it was whatever it was.
The main hall of the Royal Palace.
An Yunsheng invited his royal brothers to a banquet in the palace.
An Yunshuo raised his glass in congratulations.
"Congratulations to the eldest brother, except for the thorn in the eye."
An Yunyao and An Yunmao also raised their glasses and hypocritically echoed.
"Congratulations, Brother Huang."
An Yusheng raised his wine glass in return, smiled slightly and nodded, and did not answer.
Now An Yunmo has delegated power, but he is not as happy as he imagined, when An Yunmo was there, he felt that An Yunmo was the biggest obstacle, but now An Yunmo was forced to decentralize power by the various bureaus they set up, and he found that without An Yunmo as an obstacle, there were many other messy things.
Just like the three imperial brothers he faced at this moment, they were not easy to deal with; In addition to them, there are also officials with fresh faces in the court and the clansmen he has to respect, in addition to these things he has to face, there are also a lot of political affairs that he needs to participate in, and the most annoying thing is that he can't make decisions. In the past, An Yunmo disdained to fight with him in some things, he didn't ask about small things, but An Yunmo's attitude was angry in big things, in fact, he also knew that An Yunmo's opinions were better than him, but he was not convinced, and now how did he feel more and more aggrieved the more he lived.
An Yunsheng drank the wine in one gulp, and the indignation and grievance in his heart also swallowed together, now is not the time for him to think about these troubles, since he has dealt with An Yunmo, it must be thorough, to make sure that he has no possibility of turning over.
An Yunsheng put down his wine glass, his eyes were full of firmness, and the irritability in his heart was not shown at all, looking at the three people in front of him.
"Although An Yunmo said that he needed to recuperate and close his door, he didn't look like he was going to die soon?"
An Yunmao understood what An Yunsheng meant.
"I don't look like it, the imperial doctor in the palace used to say that he didn't live for three years, but now he ......"
An Yunshuo didn't believe that An Yunmo could live so long, and he was full of confidence.
"There is no need to guess the imperial brothers, he will definitely not survive now, he never thought about relinquishing power when he was sick and crooked before, and now we have no use of our means, so we scared him, and he took the initiative to give up his power. At this time, think about it, he may be suffering from the virus in the house? At that time, the assassin who assassinated him should have smeared poison on it, and once he was gone, he should have given him a ride. ”
An Yunshuo is unreliable, they are not as optimistic and sure as An Yunshuo.
An Yunyao looked at An Yunsheng and An Yunmao.
"Why don't we brothers go and see him? After all, brothers, it will be difficult for us to see the Regent Mansion when it closes its doors in the future. ”
"Hmm."
An Yunsheng and An Yunmao nodded in unison.
When leaving the palace, An Yunsheng also brought three imperial doctors from the palace to follow.
Regent's Palace.
An Yunmo had already guessed that several of his brothers would be suspicious of him, and they would not be at ease if they didn't come to see them in person, hearing that they were coming, An Yunmo went back to the room and lay down, and the person looked very unenergetic, not at all like he was in the court.
Jiang Jingwen led the way.
"Your Majesty, princes, please."
Except for An Yunshuo, An Yunsheng and the others were full of sorrow, and An Yunsheng spoke first.
"Second Emperor Brother, are you okay?"
An Yunmo sat up and leaned against the bed, and said in a cold voice.
"It's fine."
An Yunsheng automatically ignored An Yunmo's attitude, An Yunmo has always been like this, and he is used to it.
"I have brought three imperial doctors out this time, and I will give them all to the regent to take a good look at."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The imperial doctor stepped forward respectfully, they were a little afraid, they were afraid that An Yunmo would not cooperate.
"Regent, allow your officials to take your pulse?"
An Yunmo was not embarrassed by the imperial doctor, cooperated with the imperial doctor, and asked him to check, one after reading it, and the other went up to look at it, until the third one finished reading, the three of them glanced at each other, and got the same answer, and the imperial doctor who was the first to diagnose the pulse spoke.
"Emperor Qi, the regent, the old minister just carefully probed the pulse, and checked it many times, the poison on the regent's body has spread all over the body, thanks to the regent's deep internal strength to protect the heart, the poison has invaded the body for several years, the regent's body is not as good as before, and the regent must stay in bed to recuperate, not to use internal force, the old minister is incompetent, what the old minister can do is to adjust some antidotes to relieve the pain of the toxic attack."
After speaking, the imperial doctor knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
An Yunyao asked sharply.
"Are you careful? If it's nonsense, you know what the consequences are. ”
An Yunsheng sighed.
"Third Emperor Brother, you don't need to worry, Imperial Doctor Wei's medical skills are still believed. Imperial Doctor Wei, is there really no other way? ”
"Back to the emperor, the minister is incompetent, please ask the emperor and the regent to forgive me."
"Get up, it's no wonder you. Second Emperor Brother, can the Imperial Doctor Ou have a way? ”
"If there was a way, this king would not lie here."
An Yunmo's voice was still cold.
While they were talking, the subordinates had already served fragrant tea, and An Yunmao tasted the tea and asked as if he was inadvertent.
"The second emperor brother is sick now, why don't you see the second emperor's sister-in-law?"
As soon as he entered the mansion just now, he felt weird, he always felt that something was wrong, and he suddenly remembered that An Yunmo had married a wife this year, why was the mansion still like he didn't marry a wife, this was very abnormal, and this princess was not normal, An Yunmo was like this as her husband, why didn't she show her face?
An Yunmo said calmly.
"The princess has an awkward quarrel with this king, in the room."
"Really?"
An Yunmao obviously didn't believe it, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to give up.
An Yunshuo only listened from the sidelines, and didn't speak, he mainly came to see what An Yunmo's nest was like, but he didn't see what he wanted to see.
An Yunsheng and others hypocritically greeted a few words, and An Yunmo also replied perfunctorily, seeing that the time was about the same, An Yunsheng and the others also resigned.
An Yunsheng returned to the palace and carefully inquired about the situation of the imperial doctor An Yunmo again, and the imperial doctor repeatedly confirmed that An Yunmo's body was very bad now, the toxicity was not so strong before, and it was incompatible with each other, he could still suppress it, and now the toxicity is mutually tolerant, and the toxicity invades the body I am afraid that he will not live long.
An Yunsheng finally put his heart down when he heard such a result, and poured an An Yunmo, and he still had several opponents to deal with.
An Yunsheng only paid attention to An Yunmo's situation, An Yunyao saw An Yunmo lying on the bed, and the right was also released, he was relieved, but An Yunmao was not, he saw An Yunmo's situation today, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't say what was wrong.
Qi Wangye's Mansion.
An Yunmao was not sure, he always felt that he had neglected some important link, he was thinking about something, and he went to Duan Qingya's courtyard unconsciously.
Duan Qingya was feeding the fish outside the courtyard, and when she saw An Yunmao coming, she immediately put down the things in her hand, straightened her hair and clothes, and then walked towards An Yunmao elegantly.
"The concubine has seen the prince."
Duan Qingya walked forward, and Li An Yunmao saw Duan Qingya.
"Hmm."
An Yunmao responded lightly and continued to think about things.
Duan Qingya asked softly.
"What does the prince not understand? Don't be afraid to speak out and listen to it, and see if the concubine can share your worries for you? ”
"Nothing."
At this time, An Yunmao finally came back to his senses, looked at Duan Qingya and asked.
"What has Ya'er been busy with lately?"
Duan Qingya smiled.
"What do concubines have to be busy with, aren't they all feeding fish, planting flowers, and writing in the yard."
An Yunmao has been busy planning these days, and he hasn't come to see Duan Qingya for a while.
"Ya'er can endure it."
"What's this, when it comes to temperament, my eldest sister can endure it better than me."
Referring to Duan Qingqian, An Yunmao couldn't help asking.
"What kind of person is your eldest sister?"
Duan Qingya didn't think much about it, what did she say.
"Why is the prince suddenly interested in her? It's hard to say that my eldest sister is a person. ”
"What's the hard thing to say?"
"She's... As far as the prince just mentioned, the eldest sister can not go out of the door for a few years; I don't have much contact with her on other things, she has a cold temperament and is not easy to get along with. ”
An Yunmao thought back to everything he had heard about Duan Qingqian, Duan Qingqian was indeed elusive, and everything that happened to her was not something that a normal person would do, so it seemed that it was not impossible for her and An Yunmo to be angry, An Yunmao shook his head, put aside the superfluous thoughts, and he sent people to pay more attention.
An Yunmao looked at the charming and lovely Duan Qingya in front of him, hugged her and got tired of her, these days he was busy with affairs, he slept in his room, it was rare that in addition to An Yunmo's obstacle, he could relax a little.
Regent's Palace.
Xu Jingtai, Yu Wen, and Liang Haoye met again at this time to see An Yunmo coming.
At this time, An Yunmo was dealing with affairs in the study, he was not feeling unwell and was not pretending, his face looked very bad without taking medicine at this time, and the three old ministers suddenly felt sour when they saw An Yunmo, who was working so hard, the regent was young and promising, it shouldn't be like this, it should be them who are old and useless.
An Yunmo looked up at them and asked.
"Something?"
The three of them came back to their senses and saluted in unison.
Liang Haoye would not say sensational words, he straightened his back and stood aside, he just wanted to come over and see An Yunmo, among the three Yu Wen was older, he spoke.
"Lord, it's nothing, it's just that the old minister heard that the prince is seriously ill and the regent palace is going to close the door, so he came to take a look. Is there a big problem with the prince's health? ”
After the imperial doctor in the palace saw it, the news that the regent would not live for half a year somehow spread, and the three of them were worried so they went to the palace to take a look, and the regent's palace was closed in the future, and they couldn't come if they wanted to.
An Yunmo also knew the news circulating outside, knew that they cared about him, and said lightly.
"This king knows your intentions, and it is true that he is seriously ill, and it is true that he will close his door to visitors."
Xu Jingtai stepped forward and asked.
"Rumors ...... outside"
"Eight or nine are not far from ten, during the closed door of the Regent's palace, this king does not see anyone."
Speaking of which, they also understood, and the three of them glanced at each other, their noses were constantly pantothenic, and their eyes were a little red.
The three of them knelt down in unison and saluted, full of respect and piety, and said in a firm tone.
"Please rest assured, the ministers will definitely live up to the prince's trust."
An Yunmo looked at them fixedly and nodded.
"Hmm. Get up. ”
The three of them got up for the first time and looked at An Yunmo seriously for a while, they were afraid that this would be the last time they would look at the regent.
Yu Wen said a little sadly.
"Take care of your body."
"Hmm."
Xu Jingtai then arched his hand.
"The prince should pay attention to rest."
"Hmm."
Liang Haoye gave An Yunmo a military salute and said loudly.
"What does the prince command, the ministers will not hesitate to go to the soup and the fire."
"Okay."
After the three of them finished speaking, they left the Regent's Mansion with reluctance.
