In the early morning, the cold breeze was mixed with snowflakes, and the biting cold froze so that many people rolled up their necks, and their hands involuntarily curled up in their sleeves, and even some old people couldn't stop stomping their feet because of the cold. Although it was cold, the officials still waited outside the noon gate for the morning court, but when the sun rose, the noon gate did not open, causing many officials to whisper.

"Lord Chen, what's wrong today?" An official who was good friends with Chen Baihan came to Chen Baihan's side and asked, and this sentence attracted many people's sideways, and they all looked at Chen Baihan to hear how he answered.

Chen Baihan is old, wearing thick cotton clothes, and his emaciated body is obviously swollen. Shaking his head lightly, Chen Baihan replied calmly: "The saint is conscientious and conscientious, and last night the review was folded until late at night, and he also mentioned the morning dynasty before leaving, I am afraid that something is urgent and delayed, I will wait patiently." ”

Hearing Chen Baihan say this, the officials obediently kept their mouths, but although they didn't say it explicitly, they were curious in their hearts about what could make His Majesty postpone the early dynasty, they have been accustomed to His Majesty's diligence over the years.

About a quarter of an hour passed, and there was finally a movement at the noon gate, and many officials immediately stopped talking and lined up in two rows in an orderly manner to prepare to enter the court, but today the noon gate was only half open. Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Yongzi walked out quickly, bowed down to everyone and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Holy Lord is not feeling well today and cannot go to court early. ”

After waiting for a long time, now I suddenly heard that the saint was unwell, and the crowd let out a burst of surprise and was obviously a little surprised, and Xiao Shunzi ignored everyone's reactions, and said to the British King Chu Haoyuan and a few people: "His Royal Highness, Lord Chen, Lord Hou, Lord Shen, Lord Fang, and a few people from the Holy Upload go in." ”

When Chu Haoyuan heard that the Holy Lord Chu Haoran was sick and couldn't even go to court early, a different color flashed in his lonely eyes, but his expression remained unchanged and said, "Father-in-law Yong, please!" ”

At this moment, Chen Baihan, Hou Zhibai, Shen Lan and Fang Lin also came back to their senses and followed Xiao Yongzi into the palace.

Walking on the road, Chu Haoyuan opened his mouth and asked, "Gonggong Yong, this king was fine when he left the palace yesterday, why did he suddenly get sick?" This king has heard from Lord Chen that His Majesty has been busy until late at night. ”

Although Xiao Yongzi is a close minister of the Holy Chu Haoran, he clearly knows that the few people behind him are the confidants of the Holy Lord, not to mention that Chu Haoyuan is the Prince of Yipin. Don't dare to slack off, Xiao Yongzi replied respectfully: "Back to the prince, my lords, the saint was busy until late at night before going to bed last night, but there was a lot of whispering at night, and he was even more groggy in the morning, and the little one couldn't even wake up His Majesty to wake up His Majesty and hurriedly called Imperial Doctor Li, who said that His Majesty was depressed and busy until late at night, and fell ill after suffering from the wind and cold." Imperial Physician Li first gave His Majesty a few injections to wake up His Majesty, and now he is prescribing prescriptions and boiling medicine, His Majesty cares about state affairs and still thinks about the early dynasty, but he almost fell down when he got up, so he called a few people to go over. ”

At this moment, Chu Haoyuan and the five of them were silent, guessing the reason why His Majesty fell ill, and they were even more worried that His Majesty's illness was not light. The Holy Chu Haoran has been conscientious and busy every day every day since he ascended the throne, and the departure of the Queen Mother made him sad, and he was heartbroken, and finally fell ill, and if it were not for the serious illness, the Holy Lord would definitely not delay the early dynasty.

There were no words all the way, and everyone soon arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Hou with a solemn face was at the door. Xiao Yongzi quickly walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and said to a few people: "Your Majesty wants a few adults to go in, but Your Majesty is in poor health and needs to recuperate a lot, and I hope that you adults will bear with me." While speaking, Xiao Yongzi even hugged his fists and saluted a few people, and then led them into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

In the dormitory, the saint Chu Haoran was half-lying on the soft couch, his eyes were closed and he looked a little tired, his face was even more sickly pale, and he no longer had his usual coercion and calmness. Looking at His Majesty Chu Haoran, everyone immediately knelt down and said, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

Amidst the shouts of everyone, Saint Chu Haoran finally opened his eyes. Glancing at everyone, Chu Haoran said weakly: "Zhongqing is here, excuse me." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." In the sound of thanks, several people stood up one after another, and Chu Haoyuan took a step forward and asked with a concerned face, "Brother Huang, how is it?" ”

Chu Haoran shook his head lightly and said, "Lightheaded, weak, this morning, I really can't move." ”

At this moment, Chu Haoyuan said again: "Brother Huang, you have worked too hard all these years, and you are always busy with family and state affairs, and now you are tired, so it is good to recuperate for a while." ”

Chu Haoran didn't seem to be too lazy to speak, nodded lightly, and then said: "As the monarch of the country, if I am not diligent in political affairs, I will be a faint monarch, but over the years, I am really tired, and it seems that I will learn health preservation techniques with Li Shen Medicine in the future." In a self-deprecating laugh, Chu Haoran looked at Chen Baihan and asked, "Chen Qing, is there something important today?" ”

Chen Baihan was standing solemnly on one side, and immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has dealt with urgent matters last night, and the old minister has ordered someone to send them away, Your Majesty can rest assured." After a pause at this, Chen Baihan turned his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness said is very true, family affairs and state affairs are on your shoulders, Your Majesty, you should take care of the dragon body." ”

Seeing that Hou Zhibai and Shen Lan also seemed to want to open their mouths, Chu Haoran waved his hand directly and said, "I know, I will pay more attention in the future, but I will work hard for you in the past two days." After a pause at this, Chu Haoran opened his mouth and asked, as if he had thought of something: "Fang Lin, Captain Shenwei, Xuanjiawei, and the Forbidden Army, was originally going to go out of Beijing to conquer Mobei a few days ago, but it was delayed due to the death of the queen mother. You go back and discuss with Xiao Qi and General He, and set a time to come out. By the way, Xiao Qi didn't come to the early dynasty today? ”

Hearing the Holy Lord's order, Fang Lin didn't dare to slack off, and bowed down and said, "Wechen obeys the order, and when the result is agreed, Wechen will immediately tell the Sage." Last night, the seventh prince called the north gate to go out of the city in the middle of the night, and he has not returned yet. ”

Shangjing City is the capital of the country, and there has been no curfew in these years, but the city gate is closed every day until the second day, during this period, only the military department decree or the holy decree, the four gate guards will open the door and let go, even the three princes and nine kings, of course, Chu Haoyu as the generalissimo of the official residence of the prince of Chu is naturally not among them, but the four gate guards will report to the commander of the nine gates and the military department in accordance with the rules, so Fang Lin will learn the news that Chu Haoyu, the filial piety king, left Beijing.

Seeing the thoughtful look on the face of the Holy Lord Chu Haoran, King Chu Haoyuan seemed to guess what he was thinking, and opened his mouth to reply: "Brother Huang, Xiao Qi was in a bad mood yesterday, he drank alcohol in Tao Ranju for half the night, and then went to the Ethereal Pavilion to investigate the news of the Heavenly Assassin Traitor, and learned that there was no result, so he left without getting out of the car, and he walked around the capital alone for half a night before leaving Beijing. ”

Hearing that the younger brother Chu Haoyu was drinking and lounging, Chu Haoran could guess why he was worried, and he was also distressed because of this. Thinking of this, Chu Haoran suddenly felt a little indebted to Chu Haoyu, although he suppressed this emotion in an instant, his expression was a little lonely, he looked more and more sleepy, and even his eyes narrowed. Seeing this, Chu Haoyuan continued: "The imperial brother misses Xiao Qi, and the younger brother will bring him here, but the imperial brother, you are not well, so you can rest, and the ministers will not bother." ”

At this moment, Shen Lan also opened his mouth, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, your body is important, Weichen will retire and come to visit Your Majesty another day." ”

Chen Baihan and the others also saw the tired look on the face of the Holy Lord Chu Haoran, and bowed down to say goodbye, and at this moment, Xiao Yongzi walked in quickly, bowed down and said, "Qi Sheng, the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see that you are here?" ”

Chu Haoran seemed to be too lazy to speak at this moment, waved his hand lightly to signal Xiao Yongzi to pass the two of them in, and seemed to be asking the ministers to kneel and be safe, but just when Chu Haoyuan and a few people were about to leave after kneeling, the holy Chu Haoran suddenly opened his mouth and said: "I am unwell and cannot handle political affairs, the prince Yuanbo is the prince of the country, after so many years, it is time to contribute to the country to share my worries, and the prince will temporarily supervise the country." ”

Hearing the Holy Lord Chu Haoran say this, the British King Chu Haoyuan, the Zhongshu Ling Chen Baihan, the subordinate Langzhong Hou Zhibai, the Prime Minister Shen Lan, and the military department Shangshu Fang Lin, these five people were obviously stunned. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that it has been six or seven years since he retired due to illness, and he has hardly shown up in front of everyone in the past six or seven years, and now he suddenly asks the prince to deal with state affairs, does this mean...... In everyone's different thoughts, the prince Chu Yuanbo, who walked to the door, was also stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses, and there was a deep sadness in his eyes, but he was well hidden and no one saw it.

Different from the sadness of the crown prince Chu Yuanbo, the queen Zhao Wenhui heard the words of the saint, and her face showed an unconcealable joy. In recent years, the crown prince Chu Yuanbo has disappeared from everyone's sight, making many people forget his existence, so that many princes have their minds, especially the second son Yuan Yi and the third son Yuan Sheng, who are even more ambitious and bent on replacing him. In the past, there was still the queen mother, the needle of the sea god in the queen, there was no need to worry about the status of the queen, but since ancient times, the mother is expensive by the son, if the prince's status is not guaranteed, her queen will also be implicated, and now I heard that His Majesty has the heart to let the prince Chu Yuanbo deal with state affairs, how can the queen not be happy? Although she was happy, the queen never forgot her form, after all, the saint was lying sick on the couch, and she instantly put away her smile and walked in with a sad face, and there was another greeting.

Not to mention Chu Yuanbo and the others, not long after the news of His Majesty's health came out, Chu Haoyu knew about it, but what was strange was that Chu Haoyu did not have much sadness on his face, but showed a strange look, and finally smiled bitterly, his face was full of sadness. After being silent for a long time, Chu Haoyu took a deep breath to put away all his emotions, and said lightly: "Enter the palace." ”

Not only Chu Haoyu, after learning the news that His Majesty was in poor health and could not even go to the court early, many princes and ministers entered the palace to visit, but most of them were blocked by Xiao Yongzi, but another news spread quickly throughout the capital, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chu Yuanbo was ordered to supervise state affairs, and one stone can still stir up a thousand waves, not to mention that His Majesty is seriously ill and the prince is in charge of the country, and for a time the capital is full of rumors.
