Chapter 398: The Crown Prince Ascends the Throne
The emperor was unconscious, Empress Xue and the imperial concubine Jia Yuanchun sat on the edge of the bed and wept silently, and the other concubines also rushed to the East Palace when they heard the news, and heard the sound of crying from time to time. The crown prince Zhang Yuanlang also seemed to be a lot more sensible, leaning on his mother's arms, looking at his father on the bed, not noisy or noisy.
In the outer hall, on the one hand, the imperial physician was discussing the emperor's condition in a low voice, and on the other hand, the cabinet ministers were muttering, as if they were also discussing something.
In Chuxiu Palace just now, Han Fei had already made it clear that the emperor had run out of oil. No one doubts Han Fei's medical skills, and what he has to do now is to prepare for the emperor's funeral and support the crown prince to ascend the throne.
The crown prince is young, and according to the practice of previous dynasties, there should be ministers who take care of their orders to assist the government, and the queen mother will listen to the government. Minister Gu Ming said, you can choose a few cabinet ministers, the problem is the queen mother, after the crown prince ascends the throne, the current queen should naturally be the queen mother, but it is difficult to draw conclusions about what title the prince's biological mother, the imperial concubine, uses. If the emperor wakes up, he will do what the emperor wants, and what the ministers are worried about is that they are afraid that the emperor will not wake up.
Now everyone is waiting for the result of Han Fei's battle with the demon girl, as long as Han Fei returns smoothly, there should be a good result.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Marquis of Zhongyi is here!"
Hearing the report of the guards, everyone in the hall outside got up and looked at the door of the hall, and then, seeing Han Fei slowly walking into the hall, although Han Fei's face was full of tiredness, since he came, he must have won the battle, and no one asked about the result.
Han Fei bowed to the cabinet ministers, then walked to the side of the imperial doctors, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and said: "This is the antidote from the demon girl, Ben Hou has made a preliminary examination, and the imperial doctors will also check together to see if there is a problem!" β
This is to be given to the emperor, whether it can save the emperor, no one knows, it must be handled carefully. The doctors agreed that although it is not known whether the drug can detoxify, it will not increase new side effects after taking it.
Han Fei nodded, took the porcelain vase and walked into the inner room, and the cabinet ministers and imperial doctors also gathered at the door of the inner room.
"Zhongyi Hou (non-brother) is back, have you got the antidote?" Empress Xue and Imperial Concubine Jia Yuanchun inquired in unison.
"The queen mother, the imperial concubine mother, Weichen is fortunate not to be dishonored!" Han Fei handed the porcelain vase to Empress Xue and said, "Melt it with warm water and feed it to the emperor!" β
Empress Xue personally served the emperor to take medicine, Han Fei turned around and was about to retreat to the door, when the prince suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said with a small face: "Uncle, hug!" β
Han Fei hurriedly leaned over and picked up the prince, because the prince was in his arms, it was not good for him to withdraw again, so he retreated to stand behind the imperial concubine.
After feeding a bowl of medicine, everyone was silent, waiting for the emperor's reaction after taking the medicine.
Half an hour later, the emperor first had a soft sound in his stomach, then his lips moved, and he heard a few slight coughs. This was a prelude to coming to their senses, and everyone almost held their breath and stared at the emperor on the bed.
After another quarter of an hour, the emperor slowly opened his eyes and looked blankly upward.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......," Empress Xue called softly.
The emperor seemed to hear the queen's call, turned his head to look at Queen Xue, and after a while, his eyes brightened a lot, "Emperor...... After...... Fast...... Fast...... Summon...... Han fei...... Back to Beijing ......"
"Your Majesty's ......" Empress Xue cried: "Marquis Zhongyi rushed back to the capital last night, and today he has rescued the emperor from the demon girl!" β
Han Fei wanted to let go of the prince when he heard the sound, but the prince hugged his neck and refused to come down, so he had to walk closer with the prince in his arms, looked at the emperor and said: "Weichen is too late to save the car, and the crime deserves death!" β
The emperor looked at Han Fei and the crown prince in his arms, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, "Love...... High officer...... I...... No way...... Finish...... You...... Assisted...... Prince ......"
Han Fei hurriedly knelt on the ground and said solemnly: "Holy Lord, Weichen obeys orders!" Weichen must do his best to assist the prince to become a generation of Ming monarchs and carry forward the prosperous era created by the saint! β
The smile on the emperor's face was even stronger, and he turned his head to Queen Xue and said, "Summon...... Cabinet...... Chancellor......"
"The old minister is here!" The cabinet ministers hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
The emperor slowly glanced at the ministers and said, "Du ...... Cloud...... Intended ......"
"The old minister obeys!" Now that the emperor is dying, no one dares to interrupt, and the eunuch Huang Ye personally sent the four treasures of the study room and sharpened the ink on the side.
"Sealed ...... Han fei...... Chung Kok Gong ...... Auxiliary Ministers...... Senate ...... ...... of Military Affairs Assist Xinjun ...... Marking the Badge ...... Give...... I ...... Saber Sword-wielding ...... If I am here...... Critical Moments...... Holding a sword can take the Tiger Talisman...... Mobilization ......"
This power is too great, it is equivalent to the prime minister who oversees the military and political power, Han Fei has the intention to resign, but seeing that the emperor has been angry and invasive, he does not dare to interrupt.
ββ¦β¦ Sealed...... Du Yun...... Zhenguo Hou ...... Auxiliary Ministers...... Senate ...... ...... of Military Affairs Sealed...... Wang Ziteng ...... Auxiliary Ministers...... Senate for Military Affairs...... Sealed...... Jiang Feng...... Auxiliary Ministers...... Senate ...... on Military Affairs"
The emperor arranged four auxiliary ministers in one go, looked at Empress Xue and the imperial concubine Jia Yuanchun, and said reluctantly: "The queen...... Imperial Concubine...... You two...... One heart and one mind...... Raising the Crown Prince to adulthood...... ...... of Military Affairs Auxiliary ministers are the main ...... There is something hesitant to do...... You can ask Han Fei ......"
"Your Majesty, the concubines obey orders!"
The emperor closed his eyes and rested for a quarter of an hour, opened his eyes suddenly, stared at Han Fei and the crown prince in his arms, a strange brilliance appeared on his face, and shouted: "Han Fei...... Protecting the Prince...... If there is treachery and rebellion against the country...... Kill ...... on behalf of me"
The emperor's voice suddenly stopped, but his eyes were still fixed on Han Fei, as if waiting for an answer.
Han Fei hugged the prince and bowed, crying: "Your Majesty, please go with peace of mind, Weichen will live up to the emperor's entrustment!" β
The emperor seemed to have received a satisfactory answer, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Your Majestyβ" After everyone was stunned, they all fell to the ground and cried.
Han Fei wiped his tears, stood up, and said to Empress Xue and Imperial Concubine Jia Yuanchun beside him: "Queen Mother, Concubine Niangniang, please mourn and change!" The first emperor is in a big line, and Weichen knows that the two mothers are very sad, but this is not the time to be sad, the top priority is the position of the new monarch, and Weichen has another urgent military affairs to discuss with the two mothers and the auxiliary ministers! β
Empress Xue saw Han Fei's solemn expression and said busily: "But it is up to the loyalty of the country to decide!" β
Han Fei put the prince next to the bed, then retreated to the middle of the cabinet ministers, and bowed to the prince Zhang Yuanlang together, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" β
Poor Zhang Yuanlang, a three-year-old little doll, who had never seen this kind of battle, was stunned for a while, wanted to cry but didn't dare, suddenly saw Han Fei raise his head, and hurriedly threw himself into his arms, "Uncle, I'm afraid, I'm afraid ......"
Han Fei took the little emperor Zhang Yuanlang in his arms, patted him on the back, and said: "The emperor doesn't have to be afraid, there are micro-ministers, no one dares to bully you!" β
