Chapter 256: The Weak Emperor
In the early morning of the second day, before Helan Minzhi woke up, the emperor's summons decree came down, and all the officials above the fifth rank who accompanied him waited for the summons in front of the imperial tent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hurry up and pack up, because the cumbersome official robe has not been sent down yet, so Helan Minzhi is considered to have survived. Otherwise, with his slow strength, everyone has finished visiting, and it is estimated that he has not yet arrived. hurriedly rode his horse towards Li Zhi, but fortunately, all the officials had just arrived, and they were still waiting outside for a summons.
At this time, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu went in first, as for whether the rest of these people can go in, it is still a matter of two words. The reason why all the people called here was to show that the emperor was already well, and the hearts of the officials of An'an.
"Oh, Liu Shangshu, you're early." Liu Xiangdao still stood in front with a serious face, looking at the imperial tent and not speaking. There are no other officials around, unlike Zheng Lang, who has a bunch of people around him, and there are many people next to Cui Yuqing.
This court is like this, and the officials who are five or six people outside have to stammer in front of the big officials, and they can't lag behind at all. Cui Yuqing has always been gentle, and Zheng Lang will be left and right. People who are also from Shandong are headed by these two people.
Comparatively speaking, after all, the communication between the military department and the hundred officials is not as much as that of the household department, so there are more people around Zheng Lang than Cui Yuqing. As for Liu Xiangdao, this official household ceremony, among the six departments of military and criminal work, it is difficult to do this criminal department. Although it is said that the criminal cases of many high-ranking officials and nobles are really difficult to deal with by this criminal department, it is ultimately a department that sentences people. If someone else is in charge, maybe it won't be enough to have no one around him, but this Liu Xiangdao is an old man.
is about to make himself a lonely minister, to be honest, since Helan Minzhi has been in contact with him for so long, this old man is really not a bad person. I can do things fairly, and it's not that I don't know how to be flexible. is still a little upright in dealing with people, and the most important thing is that this old man is relatively honest as an official, and he neither accepts nor gives bribes.
Of course, if you do it at his level, you don't have to pay bribes to anyone. But not allowing his subordinates to bribe him is a violation of the inherent rules of officialdom. Coupled with his black face, he is born with this serious appearance, which makes people feel difficult to touch.
In contact with him, Helan Minzhi felt at least more comfortable than contact with Cui Yuqing and Zheng Lang. So when I came, I said hello to him. But if it is said that he is the prime minister, he would rather let Cui Yuqing go to the top than let Liu Xiang go up.
Although Cui Yuqing is a little treacherous, he can negotiate after all. But Liu Xiangdao, this old man, is really not good at discussing some ghostly and private things with him.
Seeing that Helan Minzhi said hello to himself from afar, Liu Xiangdao also seemed a little happy. After all, no one really wants to be a lonely minister, right? This is also the reason why his own protégés happened not to be present.
"Helan Zuo Shuzi, you are also early."
"Hehe, Shang Shu is making fun of Xia Guan. I'm afraid I'm too late to look at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, what kind of will is this now? Helan Minzhi smiled.
Liu Xiangdao looked at the inside of the tent: "The decree came early this morning, saying that the officials who accompanied the car should come." But now that it has come to such an hour, except for Xu Xiang and Li Xiang, the rest of the people have not seen the face of the sky. I don't know what that means! ”
Helan Minzhi also frowned, according to common sense, this shouldn't be. In order to appease people's hearts, how can I say that Li Zhi should also come out to meet the hundred officials in person. What does that mean?
Just thinking about it, Wang Laifu slowly walked out of the tent, and watched him take this square step smoothly, knowing that Li Zhi must be fine. Otherwise, this thing must be in a hurry, where is it so leisurely.
"Hundred officials shut up." With a wave of dust in his hand, he stood solemnly and looked at the ministers underground.
Everyone stopped talking, since this old eunuch came out, there must have been the emperor's will passed down.
"Your Majesty's dragon body has recovered, but it is still weak. The imperial physician ordered him to recuperate, and he did not summon the ministers. Xue Rengui, the general of Qianniuwei, Liu Xiangdao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Cui Yuqing, the secretary of the Military Department, and He Lanmin, the left concubine of the prince, can be seen. The rest of us stand down. After finishing speaking, the old eunuch stood quietly and stopped talking, as if waiting for the hundred officials to retreat.
Everyone still doesn't understand when they look at him like this? But since so many high-ranking officials have seen it, it means that there must be no problem. I can't see it, it's that the level is not enough, so no one said anything and silently retreated.
Xue Rengui, Liu Xiangdao, Cui Yuqing, and He Lanminzhi stepped forward and entered the tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, he raised his eyes slightly, and Helan Minzhi's heart thumped suddenly. As expected, Li Zhi is really not a summer fever. Today's face is not much better than yesterday, and it is even paler. The only good thing is that the eyes that have been closed yesterday are open today. But the room was filled with his weak gasps, Li Hong was sitting on the edge of the bed and feeding him medicine with his little hands, and Wu Zetian led Li Xian to stand aside. Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu all looked at their feet and didn't say a word. The old lady still didn't look surprised.
The four walked in and looked at each other. Gently saluted Li Zhi: "The ministers see Your Majesty." ”
Two prime ministers, a general, two scholars, plus his own relatives. This time, the important ministers who accompanied the king were all there.
"Excuse me, cough cough." After hearing everyone's voices, Li Zhi raised his head and glanced at them. Just said that he was rude and coughed, is this still the emperor who was full of anger a few days ago? Helan Minzhi couldn't believe it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The four of them stood up and waited for Li Zhi to show them.
Since the four of them were called, it certainly did not make no sense. Otherwise, it would not be easy for the courtiers to see such a weak moment for the emperor.
"I... Sudden illness. It was a hot summer, and I didn't want to catch the wind and cold again, but today it has improved slightly, but the headache is unbearable and it is difficult to move forward after all..."After Li Zhi said a few words, he was so exhausted that he could only gasp and speak.
Helan Minzhi felt even more strange, Li Zhi's health was not so bad. Now it's just a sudden wind illness, how can it suddenly be so weak? If this is the case, even if Hua Tuo is reborn in the world, he will never believe that he will be able to enjoy the country for more than 30 years.
Li Hong hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand and patted Li Zhi. Seeing the picture of the heavenly family's father and son's filial piety, everyone's hearts finally let go of a lot. What I am most afraid of is that the emperor is sick, and the prince is embarrassed, and the country will be over. Now it seems that at least in terms of filial piety, the eight-year-old Li Hong has already passed. (To be continued.) )
