Chapter 389: Serious illness and controversy
As soon as the deep palace arrives at night, the guards are all about to withdraw, and it is too much to break the ban and open the door, and the ministers are also panicked at this time, and they all know that something big is going to happen.
Maybe it was the eunuch Heizhao who passed on the emperor's message, and everyone's hearts were churning, after all, not everyone would bump into such a big thing!
Heizhao eunuch led everyone to the door, these people didn't recognize Li Mi, and Li Mi didn't recognize them, but they recognized Wang Gongfei and Zhu Changluo, and hurriedly saluted the imperial concubine and prince, although Li Mi was wearing Confucian clothes, they only thought that Li Mi was a palace eunuch, and they didn't care.
Everyone was about to go in, but the old imperial doctor Lu Ji had boiled the medicinal soup and hurried over, seeing this situation, he wanted to avoid it, but remembering Li Mi's words, he mustered up the courage to rush ahead and said to everyone.
"The emperor has just stabilized, why don't you take the medicine before talking."
Eunuch Hei Zhao looked at the old imperial doctor, as if he didn't know him, and then looked at Li Mi, and then said to everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, wait, the miscellaneous family will go in and ask the emperor what he means."
Where did these ministers dare to speak indiscriminately, just stay honest, and after a while, the eunuch Heizhao came out again and said to Lu Ji.
"You come in, Li Mi, you also come in, Concubine Gong and the prince also come in."
When Concubine Wang Gongfei and Zhu Changluo heard this, they were also very excited, but Li Mi didn't say anything, seeing that they were about to enter the door, Li Mi said to Zhu Changluo.
"The old lady doctor is in a hurry, I'm afraid that I'm going to sprinkle the medicinal soup, the prince has convenient hands and feet, help the old lady doctor hold the medicinal soup, the father is sick, the son is serving, filial piety is so."
Thanks to Li Mi's reminder, Lu Ji mustered up the courage to boil out this life-saving medicinal soup, and was grateful to Li Mi, Zhu Changluo got Li Mi's help, he didn't need to go to the side hall, and now he has to be mentioned by Li Mi, where would he not understand Li Mi's good intentions!
Their mother and son have already taken the lead, if Zhu Changluo can serve the decoction, Zhu Yijun will definitely look at them differently.
Maybe it was also Queen Wang who helped to speak, otherwise Zhu Yijun would not let them go in together, this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can you not grasp it!
Zhu Changluo carefully took the medicinal soup, and the group walked in.
The eunuch Heizhao glanced at Li Mi, his eyes were full of meaning, but after all, he still didn't say anything, coldly led the way in front, and returned to the palace again.
Queen Wang saw that Zhu Changluo was holding the medicinal soup, but Concubine Wang Gong retreated to the side of the palace gate, not daring to come in half a step further, and nodded with satisfaction.
If Concubine Wang Gong also came in, it would be more ugly, but Zhu Changluo came in by himself, which could make Zhu Yijun even happier.
Queen Wang didn't have the intention to support the mother and son, but simply wanted the emperor to get some comfort in his heart.
The emperor is also a human being, and when he is seriously ill, he wants to get the love of his children after all, but Zhu Changxun is crying and wants to go back to sleep, even if Zheng Guifei is forced to dress pretendically, he can't deceive Zhu Yijun, in contrast, Zhu Changluo and Wang Gongfei are more sincere, and Queen Wang will make such a choice.
A woman who has no heirs can resist the hot Concubine Zheng without being squeezed out of the position of the queen, and can still get the support of the queen mother, how can the queen be a simple person?
Just look at the way she treated Li Mi earlier, the big stick was raised, forcing Li Mi to save people, and then following Li Mi's wishes, she left Concubine Wang Gong and Zhu Changluo behind, which can be regarded as giving Li Mi some sweetness.
Zhu Yijun has improved a little, seeing Zhu Changluo with the medicinal soup, his eyes are also moist, after all, he doesn't treat this child well, between life and death, the past comes to mind, and his own experience and Zhu Changluo's encounter seem to overlap.
He was also born to a palace maid, so when he was a child, he lived with Zhu Changluo, trembling?
He should have a deep understanding and love Zhu Changluo even more, but the ministers of civil and military affairs, especially the civil and official groups, take the law of their ancestors at every turn, and Zhu Changluo has become their card, putting Zhu Changluo in front of him and forcing him Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun is the emperor, so he and Zhu Changluo resented together.
Only at this time, seeing Zhu Changluo's distressed but fearful of his father's demeanor in his eyes, Zhu Yijun was so distressed that he shed tears.
"Daddy...... Just drink the medicine......"
Zhu Changluo didn't have any honorific titles, but was like a folk son and father, Zhu Yijun was even more in tears, not caring that the medicinal soup was still bitter and hot, so he drank it with a slurp.
He was also tortured all night, and the medicinal soup was boiled by Lu Ji, how could he really make the emperor burn his mouth, and he only sent it in after blowing it warm.
After drinking this warm medicinal soup, Zhu Yijunguo was in good spirits, and he felt a lot better, and he rarely reached out and touched Zhu Changluo's head.
Although Wang An did not have a shortage of daily necessities for his mother and son, Concubine Wang Gong ate fasting and recited Buddha, and Zhu Changluo was also a vegetarian, and her body and bones were naturally not as good as ordinary children, and the children of twelve or thirteen were not as strong as Zhu Changxun.
Zhu Yijun was sick at this time, touching the back of Zhu Changluo's head, only to feel that his neck was only held by Yingying, fragile and tight, and his heart was even more guilty, and then he saw that Concubine Wang Gong only dared to hide outside the palace gate, stretched her neck to look inside, and even burst into tears on the spot, silently holding Zhu Changluo in her arms, and letting go after a while.
Zhu Changluo has never felt father's love, and when he smelled his father's body at this time, tears had already fallen.
He is not good at words, and even a little autistic, but his demeanor and eyes are full of desire and admiration for his father, and he stretched out his thin little hand to wipe away his father's tears, which made Zhu Yijun's heart soften.
is like Queen Wang, seeing this situation, it is inevitable to wipe tears, and say in her heart that it is right to leave this mother and son.
However, Zhu Yijun is the emperor after all, and now Li Mi and others are also there, and the warmth and affection did not last long, so he beckoned and called Concubine Wang Gong over.
"It's hard for you, take the child out, I want to talk to the cabinet about something."
Concubine Wang Gong, who has been living in the cold palace for so many years, finally heard the emperor talking to her, and she had mixed feelings for a while, this kind of expression is also real, Zhu Yijun saw it in his eyes.
Concubine Wang Gong didn't say much, everything was silent, and obediently took Zhu Changluo out, and Zhu Yijun looked at Li Mi and said to him.
"Don't worry, I don't blame you for this, call all those old men in."
He didn't let the eunuch Heizhao go out to pass the order, let alone let Wang An go out, but let Li Mi go out, in fact, he was also passing a message to everyone, so that the ministers knew that he Li Mi was also a cronie, and Li Mi was self-saving, as for what Zhu Yijun said, he was not to blame Li Mi for this, obviously Zhu Yijun knew what was going on, but it was not easy to scrutinize at the moment, Li Mi could only walk out of the palace gate and pass on the ministers to him.
There were five of these cabinet ministers, one of whom was dressed neatly and should have been on duty in the cabinet that night, while the other four were disheveled and in a hurry.
Before Li Mi went out to give the order, he also got Wang An's quick advice and recognized all five people, so as not to be ugly.
On duty in the cabinet tonight is the first assistant Zhao Zhigao, this Zhao Zhigao is steady and decent, has been in power for ten years, impartial, does not form gangs, does not plant the party or slack power, is lenient and lenient, and can help the ministers, and his popularity is very good.
As for others, such as the second assistant Wang Xijue, Zhang Weitong, and the newly promoted auxiliary minister Chen Yuma, Li Mi didn't have much impression, but he let Li Mi take a few special looks, that is, Shen Yiyi, a scholar of Dongge University who had just entered the cabinet!
This Shen has always been sinister and sleek, seeing the wind and making the rudder, the most swaying, and Zheng Guifei is very close, the reason why Li Mi knows him so well is because it is he Shen has always forced Yuan Keli to have no way out, and in the end he can only depose the official as a commoner.
And when Lu Kun was completely deposed in the demon book case, he Shen has always been a hindrance!
After all, Li Mi was only a foreign minister, and he could not participate in the emperor's entrustment of these auxiliary ministers, so he only knew that these auxiliary ministers left in a hurry when it was almost dawn, and it was estimated that they were going back to the cabinet to draft the holy decree.
Li Mi and Lu Ji stood outside the door bitterly, and Concubine Wang Gong and Zhu Changluo did not dare to leave, but fortunately, Wang An came out from time to time and sent some blankets, tea and pastries to a few people, which could be regarded as taking good care of them.
Zheng Guifei felt sorry for her son, and she didn't take her son to guard hard outside the palace gate like Wang Gongfei, and waited in the side hall for half an hour, so she actually let people settle down and make up for sleep inside, just let her close cronies stay outside the palace gate, and wake up her mother and son once there is a wind and grass.
After the ministers left, Queen Wang also walked out, asked Concubine Wang Gong and Zhu Changluo to follow her to Kunning Palace to rest, and asked people to go to the side hall to inform many concubines and princes to go back to rest.
Concubine Zheng was reluctant, but she was taught a lesson by Queen Wang, and she didn't dare to make any more trouble now, so she dispersed.
Eunuch Heizhao and Wang An were still guarding the house, so they let Li Mi and Lu Ji come in, and a few people stayed outside to watch Zhu Yijun and sleep all night.
Li Mi was also tired, and fell asleep unconsciously, but Lu Ji was still holding a heart and liver, and he didn't dare to fall asleep.
Li Mi was also a light sleep, and in a daze, he felt someone pushing him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Wang An's complaining face, Li Mi also smiled embarrassedly, wiped his saliva, and followed Wang An into the inner room.
At this time, in the inner room, Zhu Yijun had already recovered his complexion, leaning on the head of the bed, but with an angry face, while the eunuch Heizhao was standing aside, also stiff his neck, and seemed to have a quarrel with Zhu Yijun.
Li Mi listened to it for a while, and finally understood the reason, and couldn't help but be in awe of this Heizhao eunuch!
It turned out that Zhu Yijun had been promulgating the mining tax policy in order to save money to build the hall and collect money, which brought great suffering to the people.
Last night, I thought that I could not do it, and I had already begun to arrange the aftermath, and entrusted the establishment of the national reserve and other important matters to the cabinet ministers to draft the holy decree, one of which was to remove the mining tax.
However, after getting up early, Zhu Yijun's complexion improved, and he knew that he couldn't die, so he asked Heizhao Eunuch to go to the cabinet to recover the holy decree.
The eunuch Heizhao chased back all the other holy decrees, but he didn't want to do anything except the mining tax, but persuaded Zhu Yijun to take advantage of this opportunity to remove the mining tax law, and the two were arguing about this matter.
Zhu Yijun sent more than a dozen or twenty little eunuchs to chase the holy decree, but they couldn't catch it back, if the Heizhao eunuch went out, he would definitely be able to recover it, but the Heizhao eunuch refused to go, Zhu Yijun was also furious, threatening to cut off the head of the Heizhao eunuch!
Li Mi listened to it next to him, and he couldn't cry or laugh, he often heard that Emperor Wanli was a money fan, but he didn't expect it to be true......
He helped Concubine Wang Gong and Zhu Changluo, the eunuch Heizhao did not speak, and he thought that he also supported orthodoxy, and in any case, he could be regarded as giving Li Mi a favor, but now Li Mi wanted to say a good word for the eunuch Heizhao, so he said to Zhu Yijun.
"The emperor is the discomfort caused by the blockage of heart qi, now that the dragon body is healing, he must not be angry, and the chief eunuch also wants to share the emperor's worries, and the emperor will be ......angry."
Zhu Yijun was angry, and said in his heart that Tian Yi, the eunuch of Heizhao, was his closest confidant, and he didn't listen to him, it was rare to look down on Li Mi, but he helped Tian Yi, could he really think that he Zhu Yijun was dying!
