Li Dongyang took the report, and he was immediately happy, and then his face was full of sorrow, and he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The new army is trying to take the opportunity to grow, then again, the counterinsurgency is now borrowing a lot of new troops, even if the imperial court wants to oppose it, I am afraid that it will ......."

Liu Jian's face was indifferent, and he encouraged Li Dongyang and said, "What are you afraid of?" ”

Li Dongyang carefully put away the report, and continued: "Has Duke Liu ever thought that if the emperor is ......", he is inconvenient to talk about, but this matter is no secret, the emperor's condition has become more and more serious with the arrival of autumn, it is said that he fainted again last night, and I still don't know if I woke up, the old emperor is dead, and the new emperor has ascended the throne, Li Dongyang wants to say this, he said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young and quite enthusiastic about martial affairs, plus this new army has a lot to do with him, Now the new army has made great achievements and has this name. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the main proprietor of this matter, what should it be? ”

Liu Jian snorted coldly: "If the prince is misled, he should be taught well to make him wake up." ”

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly, Liu Jian's attitude made Li Dongyang feel even more worried, he knew in his heart that the prince was not the current emperor, the emperor was here, and there was nothing wrong with teaching him well, but the emperor was not there......

It's just that Li Dongyang knows that it's useless to say more, Liu Jian's surname is like this, and no one can stop him. Li Dongyang smiled and changed the topic: "Anyway, there is a big victory ahead, to tell the truth, when the rebels of King Ning took Raozhou, the old man was really shocked, and now King Ning's elite is gone, and now he, King Ning, has become a turtle in the urn, and he can't be a disaster anymore." ”

Liu Jian nodded secretly, but said disapprovingly: "I'm afraid that the wolf will be driven away, and the tiger will come again." Binzhi, then let's talk about it, Liu Chengfeng's request for artillery, what is the attitude of the cabinet, and if so, what kind of reasons should be used to oppose it, after all, we must be able to stand on our feet. ”

Li Dongyang was silent for a moment: "You can't oppose it, you oppose it now, once the siege fails, the responsibility belongs to the cabinet." If he wants artillery, then give it to him, but ......" Li Dongyang said lightly: "But to cast artillery, it takes time after all, even if the workshop of those firearms is in stock, you have to let people negotiate, if you come and go...... At most, the imperial court will first take 200 artillery pieces, and then wait until the end of the counterinsurgency, and then end the matter under the pretext that King Ning will be the head of the ambush. ”

Liu Jian frowned: "Two hundred doors, it seems that he is still cheaper." ”

Li Dongyang said with a straight face: "It can't be less, no matter how little, then Liu Chengfeng will inevitably be stunned, two hundred doors are just right, neither too much, not too much." ”

Liu Jian sighed: "That's it, then again, the cabinet agreed to the artillery matter, if Liu Chengfeng failed to attack the city, then this account should be settled with him." Binzhi, you go and negotiate with the household department about the artillery, the old man is really tired, and he should go back and rest. Liu Jian stretched: "But then again, if Ye Qi, the head of the household, stands up and strongly opposes it, it will not be a bad thing." ”

Li Dongyang shook his head with a smile and said: "The household department will never object, Liu Gong, this Ye Qi ghost is very good, don't look at him usually obstructs in many things, but when it comes to counterinsurgency, he will never do anything in the way." ”

Liu Jian's face was full of disappointment and tiredness, and then he pouted and said, "The old man has gone back." ”

After saying that, he stood up tremblingly and got up to leave, when a person came in from the duty room and said in a loud voice: "Liu Gong stays." ”

The person who came was the eunuch Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing is now more old, and his face is full of tiredness, as soon as the emperor fell ill, the whole palace lost the backbone, even Queen Zhang only knew the sorrow at this time, and did not care about anything else, the big and small affairs in the palace had to be asked by Xiao Jing, he Xiao Jing couldn't afford to make a slight mistake at this juncture, there were at least three ministers in the cabinet, but he was the only Xiao Jing in this huge palace, and Xiao Jing was the most bitter.

Xiao Jing stopped Liu Jian, if it was in the past, Liu Jian's attitude towards Xiao Jing would only be cold and indifferent, but now it is different, Xiao Jing suddenly came to the cabinet, it must be the news from the emperor's side, he and Li Dongyang couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw a little horror in each other's eyes.

They were speculating in their hearts whether it was the emperor's side......

Thinking of this, Liu Jian was even more worried, and hurriedly asked, "Gonggong Xiao, how is it in the palace?" ”

Xiao Jing sighed and said, "What else, things are already bad and can't be worse, all in all, everyone must be prepared." ”

This preparation made everyone's hearts tremble, and Liu Jian said bitterly: "Your Majesty ......"

Xiao Jing comforted him and said: "The emperor suddenly fainted last night, and the imperial doctor originally planned to ...... Intend...... But fortunately, the emperor finally woke up, it seemed that he was still in good spirits, the emperor woke up, he summoned the prince, taught the prince Chunchun, and spent half an hour, and later knew that His Royal Highness the prince did not dare to untie his clothes these days, and waited under the dragon couch at night, His Majesty took pity on him and let him go back to the East Palace to rest. After that, the emperor summoned the old slave again and said something that should not be said. ”

The so-called things that should not be said, in fact, everyone has the bottom in their hearts, it is nothing more than an explanation of the future, even if everyone knows that the emperor has died soon, but verbally, no one will admit it, so even if the emperor explains the aftermath, it is nonsense and should not be said.

Liu Jian couldn't help but burst into tears, and he shouldn't say anything good for a while. The friendship between the monarch and the minister was vivid in his mind, and many things that he had experienced together for more than ten years had been passed over like a slideshow, and it was only at this time that he suddenly felt that he was afraid that he would have to say a final goodbye to this king.

Or Li Dongyang is more calm, although he is also sad in his heart, he can still control his emotions, he can't help asking: "What happened later?" ”

Xiao Jing said: "Later, the emperor asked about the counterinsurgency, slave maid...... The slave can only tell the emperor that King Ning is just the end of the crossbow, although he has temporarily won Raozhou, but there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line, and this King Ning will be destroyed sooner or later. The emperor just shook his head, saying that King Ning is a person with ill intentions and deep scheming, and he is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, counterinsurgency is a major matter, and if he is negligent, he may be doomed, and this is what the emperor is most worried about now. Xiao Jing sighed: "In fact, what the emperor is most worried about is King Ning, if the news of King Ning's award can be transmitted to the Jingshi, the emperor can know that the emperor is only afraid ......of death" Xiao Jing realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly stopped, and then smiled embarrassedly, and said: "I heard that there is no news from Nanchang, and the emperor is very unhappy, so he specially asked the miscellaneous family to come and invite the ministers on duty in the cabinet to go to the audience. ”

Liu Jian nodded gloomily and said, "Since this is the case, then don't delay, please ask Gonggong Xiao to lead the way." ”

Xiao Jing didn't say anything more, and led Liu Jian and Li Dongyang to the Zhengxin Hall together, and when they arrived at the Zhengxin Palace, it happened that Empress Zhang came out of the Zhengxin Hall with a team of palace people outside the hall, and Empress Zhang looked haggard and depressed, and her eyes didn't even look at them, and she passed by gloomily.

Liu Jian and the others hurriedly said a thousand years old, and Empress Zhang did not nod her head with a noble posture like before, and Queen Zhang at this time seemed to be a noble woman who had returned to her original form and became the most miserable and ordinary woman.

Liu Jian glanced at the back of Empress Zhang, and sighed in his heart, if other emperors are about to die, I am afraid that those who are queens, if they have a prince, not to mention that they will be sad, I am afraid that there are still a lot of people who are happy in their hearts, in the royal family, the best relationship between husband and wife is only afraid of the current emperor and Empress Zhang.

He took a deep breath and waited outside the hall with Li Dongyang, Xiao Jing went in to report, and then came out to call the two of them into the hall, this Zhengxin Hall is still the same as usual, but Zhu Youjiao, who has always been energetic, is lying on the dragon couch at this time, and there is a strong smell of herbs in the hall, which makes people a little unbearable.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang bowed with tears in their eyes, and said together: "The old minister knocked on the emperor, is the emperor's dragon body better?" ”

There was a violent cough on the dragon couch, but the people Liu Jian and Li Dongyang inside couldn't see it clearly, because in front of this couch, someone had already erected a curtain, the curtain was not rolled up, and the figure on the dragon couch could only be vaguely seen through the light veil. Obviously, I can't hide my emotions anymore.

"Hmm, you're here?"

Zhu Youjiao, who was on the dragon couch, suddenly came out with a gentle voice, which didn't seem to be made by a patient, and it was very energetic.

"Okay, I have something to tell you, yes, I heard that Liu Qing had been on duty all night last night, what's the matter, can the body afford it? Come on, give the two elders a seat, serve tea up, and let Liu Qing and Li Qing take a rest. ”

This kind of heart-warming words taught Liu Jian and Li Dongyang to be a mess, although they didn't want to sit, but they didn't dare to disobey, and when the eunuchs moved Jindun, the two got up and sat down with a slight tremble, Liu Jian's old eyes seemed to want to penetrate the light veil in front of the dragon couch, and wanted to see what the emperor had become now, but he only saw a vague figure inside, the figure seemed to be helped up by the eunuch, and occasionally a few coughs came out, which was very harsh.
