It's just that Lai Zongdao waited for a long time, and he didn't wait for the emperor to respond, but waited for a commotion from the ministers, and Lai Zongdao was puzzled, raised his head and took a look, and found that the emperor who was originally standing on the stage was gone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lai Zongdao's gaze moved down a little more, and then he finally understood the reason for the commotion of the ministers - the emperor fainted again!

Compared with the emperor's dragon body, the question of whether to worship Confucius or not, and whether the cabinet chief assistant should resign is no longer important, in the face of this kind of major question of right and wrong, everyone's choice is very clear and unhesitating, that is, everything must be based on the emperor's dragon body.

So the whole scene became chaotic again, everyone was in a hurry, wanting to do something for the emperor, but they had nowhere to start, so they had to shout "emperor" and "emperor" to express their concern for the emperor in this way.

In the end, it was Lin Ye, the queen, who came forward and signaled Wang Chengen to quickly carry the emperor back, and summoned the imperial doctor to come for treatment. Of course, Wang Chengen also knew that he should act like this, but how could he dare to steal credit in front of the queen? So naturally, under the command of the "heroic name" of Niangniang's "unchaotic danger", he ordered his careful subordinates to carry the emperor back.

Xiao Mu was carried away, and Lin Yi said something to the ministers present, "The monarch's father is the heaven of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the hope of the Ming Dynasty, how can the courtiers ignore the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and persecute the monarch's father so much?" This kind of big truth made the ministers who were arguing with Xiao Mu just now speechless, and they said that they all said, "The ministers are confused, and the crime deserves death", which finally helped Xiao Mu control the scene.

"This wooden-headed retarded person has caused so much trouble to himself, and if he can't solve it, he wants to pretend to faint and get by, but he still wants me to clean up the aftermath for him!" Lin Yi waved his hand to signal the ministers to come from which yamen or which to return, and after continuing to perform their duties, they also got up and left, "eagerly" to care about the emperor's dragon body.

Lai Zongdao still knelt in place, at this time he was also at a loss, he wanted to catch up and care about the situation of the emperor's dragon body, but in his heart he thought that the emperor's fainting was caused by his resignation, and at the same time he blamed himself in his heart, he also felt that he had no face to see the emperor again, and after everyone left, he had to stand up silently, or returned to the cabinet duty.

Yang Jingchen, Li Biao and other pavilion elders who returned to the cabinet before Lai Zongdao saw Lai Zongdao come back with a heavy heart, and they all wanted to comfort him, but they didn't know how to speak, so they had to give a smile of understanding to Lai Zongdao, and Lai Zongdao also understood what they meant, and also arched his hand to them, and he deserved to thank them for their concern. As a result, everyone began to deal with the backlog of government affairs again, and the entire cabinet was filled with a very awkward and delicate atmosphere.

Like Lai Zongdao, the original "transitional" chief, the other cabinet elders in the cabinet duty room were also originally "transitional" cabinet elders, and they had no intention of being a bachelor for a long time, so they just wanted not to be caught up in the list of eunuch remnants, and if they did not make any mistakes in handling government affairs, they would be satisfied if they could resign and return to the field without incident--Yang Jingchen is the most appropriate example.

Although the emperor never expressed his intention to re-elect the cabinet members, on the contrary, he trusted the existing cabinet scholars very much, and also implemented the policy of amnesty for the whole world, and the definition of the remnants of the eunuch party was also limited to a very small range, and there was no intention of too many associations, even if most of the officials who were classified as the remnants of the eunuch party, they were not overly investigated, but only punished the backbone elements among them - such as Gu Bingqian, Feng Quan and others. This also made Yang Jingchen and other pavilion elders gradually put away their original cautious mentality, and began to really regard themselves as pavilion elders at the same time, they also began to think and plan for the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Society, after all, it is almost the dream of all scholars to become the virtuous ministers who assist the generation of Zhongxing Mingjun, even if these people have no intention of career, but seek self-preservation.

But just after coming to Zongdao to resign in public today, everything seems to have returned to the original starting point, and the undercurrent under the entire Ming officialdom will definitely begin to surge again. The cabinet elders on duty also knew this, and the idea of becoming the minister of Wang Zuo who had just risen to the throne had also dissipated, and all in all, the other cabinet elders were also ready to resign and return to the field - as long as they really did not serve as the first assistant in the end, they would immediately follow up and give the emperor a begging excerpt together. Otherwise, if you still have the cheekiness to stay in the cabinet, you will inevitably be overridden by others, and you will still occupy a seat to find someone to hold a grudge, this kind of treatment is definitely not wanted by anyone, it is better to resign from the official position and live in seclusion, and the days of teasing Sun will be nourishing.

……

For Lin Yi, Xiao Mu's "fainting" this time must be a repeat of the old trick, after all, Xiao Mu went to the court for the first time, and when he faced the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who asked to liquidate the remnants of the eunuch party, he used this method, and it achieved good results. Today, on the issue of whether to let Meng Tong worship Confucius, Xiao Mu competed with the courtiers again, and the scene was tense for a while, and even the head of the cabinet came to Zongdao to use such an extreme method as resignation to persuade Xiao Mu to take back his life (Lin Ye's guess about the reason for coming to Zongdao to resign is the same as Xu Guangqi), Xiao Mu, a mentally retarded man with a wooden head, has no other good way, and pretending to faint again is simply a reasonable explanation in Lin Ye's heart.

Lin Mu is not a person from the Ming Dynasty, the famous story of "the wolf is coming" is naturally heard, since Xiao Mu has pretended to faint once before, then Xiao Mu's fainting this time, of course, is also pretended in Lin Ye's eyes, even if Xiao Mu's performance just now is indeed very realistic and perfect, impeccable, for Lin Yi after all, it is just a performance, and he can only deceive those ministers, but he can't escape Lin Ye's eyes.

Therefore, Lin Ye's heart was not very nervous about Xiao Mu's "illness", but he had a trace of complaints about Xiao Mu's "irresponsible" approach. Of course, these can only be thought in the heart, on the surface, Lin Yi, as the queen of the Ming Dynasty, naturally showed very nervousness and anxiety, and wrote all the worries and anxieties about the emperor's dragon body on his face, and everyone saw it and respected the queen even more. If Xiao Mu could see Lin Ye's performance at this time, he would definitely think that Lin Ye would be too wasteful if he didn't make a movie......

Lin Yi nervously rushed to Xiao Mu's bedroom, and Wang Chengen had already sent someone to invite the imperial doctor over - sure enough, it was still an old acquaintance of Xiao Mu and Lin Ye, and it was said that Li Shizhen's disciple Li Taiyi, Lin Yi naturally did not have any delay, and immediately asked Li Taiyi to diagnose the emperor's pulse.

Imperial Physician Li naturally obeyed his orders respectfully, and after making a brief preparation, he began to carefully diagnose the pulse of the emperor, with a very serious expression on his face, Lin Yi and Wang Chengen and others all waited quietly on the side, without making any sound, while affecting Imperial Physician Li's pulse.

Of course, Wang Chengen and the other eunuchs and palace maids didn't know the black history of Xiao Mu pretending to be dizzy, and they were naturally nervous about the emperor's fainting, Wang Chengen was nervous and a little self-blaming at the same time, and hated his negligence: he just saw that the emperor could eat an extra bowl of rice in the past two days, and he was still happy about it in his heart, but he ignored that the emperor was very tired from reading every day, but he still talked a lot, which led the emperor to go to the scene of the inner study hall to teach, so he fainted, if it wasn't for his own troubles, Long live the Lord will naturally be fine.

Different from Wang Chengen's nervousness and self-blame, although Lin Yi was also very anxious on the surface, what he was thinking in his heart was something else entirely, such as: "Li Shizhen seems to have been very famous when Emperor Jiajing was in power, and it has been almost half a century now, and I don't know if this Imperial Physician Li is Li Shizhen's apprentice, but this Imperial Physician Li seems to be not young, and this matter is estimated to be reliable." ”

After speculating about Imperial Physician Li's apprenticeship, Lin Yi thought about Xiao Mu again: "I have to say, this Xiao Mu is really powerful, he can pretend to be so dizzy, and he can remain motionless for such a long time, if it were me, he would definitely be uncomfortable and itchy everywhere." Sure enough, this Xiao Mu not only has a wooden head, but his body is also full of wood. ”

Wang Chengen and Lin Yi were thinking about their own thoughts, and soon Imperial Doctor Li took a good pulse, got up and said to Lin Ye: "Qi Yu Niangniang, has the emperor been too tired recently?" ”

"Overworked? This guy has nothing to do all day, and he hasn't seen him in the morning, how can he be too tired? Lin Yi thought in his heart, but before he could reply, Wang Chengen answered first:

"Yes, Long Live Lord invites Lord Qian Qianyi Qian and Lord Zhou Yanru Zhou to come to the palace every day to talk about books, and after dinner at night, he still reads hard and sleeps late every day."

Imperial Physician Li's question happened to be asked to the key point, which coincided with what Wang Chengen had just thought in his heart, Wang Chengen felt in his heart that Imperial Physician Li was really good at medicine, but he didn't control himself, blurted out, and answered Imperial Physician Li's question in front of Lin Yi.

After finishing speaking, Wang Chengen realized his faux pas, but fortunately, the queen mother did not mean to blame, which also made Wang Chengen breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Yi heard that Wang Chengen had already said this, and of course he continued to say along with this meaning, "Yes, the emperor has been studying very hard in recent days, and the palace sees it in his eyes, and often comforts the emperor to rest properly, but the emperor still can't let go of the book, and reads day and night......"

Lin Ye's words later made her a little embarrassed, what Xiao Mu didn't let go of the scroll, and what she often comforted, it was better to say that Xiao Mu asked Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru to tell every day because of her own urging, otherwise, with Xiao Mu's attitude of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, it is estimated that he would have forgotten about reading a long time ago, how could he still do anything "without letting go of the scroll"?

But of course, no one else knows about these things, only Xiao Mu and Lin Yi know, and Lin Ye is the queen's mother, so naturally no one thinks what she said is wrong.
