Chapter 481: Decay

On this night, I don't know how many people stayed up all night because of the joy of reunion.

Mrs. Tai pulled Ping Guogong and talked for most of the night, and she didn't fall asleep until the fourth watch.

The hard-working Pingguo Gong only slept for more than an hour and went to the court.

Pingguo Gong has not been in the capital for many years, and has many correspondence with the military generals of the DPRK and China. After entering the Jinluan Palace, the Duke of Weiguo and the Duke of Jingguo took the initiative to greet and talk to him. Jinning, Houzhen, Yuanhou and other generals also came over to greet each other.

As a military general, who doesn't want to make immortal achievements?

The border pass fought for more than half a year, and although there were many injuries, the final victory belonged to the border army. Ping Guogong, the chief general of the border army, is in the limelight and unmatched.

Pingxihou watched Ping Guogong being surrounded by everyone in the middle, and couldn't help but slander in his heart.

These people who greeted the horses were still around him just now and praised him. As soon as Ping Guogong came, they all ran to Ping Guogong one by one.

In fact, Pingxihou's limelight is really not small. The second son Zhu Qijue was given to marry Princess Kangning and became a quasi-concubine.

However, Pingxi Hou is in the capital every day, and he can see him whenever he wants. Pingguo Gong returned to Beijing and returned to the court, and he had to go back to the border after staying for long. Of course, everyone wants to take advantage of this time to have more sets of close!

"It's time to go to court!" Pingguo Gong waited and waited, but he didn't see Emperor Xuanhe coming to the court, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Wei Guogong lowered his voice and said: "Since last year, the emperor's dragon body has been quite weak and often sick. Yesterday, the emperor set up a palace banquet and drank some wine, but it must have blown a cool breeze and rested late. Perhaps, it will not be early today. ”

Ping Guogong frowned slightly.

Has Emperor Xuanhe's dragon body decayed to such a point?

Wei Guogong was not wrong at all.

After waiting for half an hour, I didn't wait for Emperor Xuanhe, but it was the Son of Heaven who came to serve Zhao Gonggong: "The emperor has a decree, there is no need to go to the court early today, please go back to the official office." ”

The ministers should have given up.

Ping Guogong's heart sank.

He had a lot of dealings with the courtiers in private, and there were often people in his letters who mentioned the situation of Xuanhe Emperor's dragon body. However, it is better to see than to hear. Seeing it with my own eyes today, my heart is quite heavy.

For the people of Great Chu, Emperor Xuanhe was not a good emperor. Over the years, Dachu has been in turmoil one after another, and the people have been overwhelmed by heavy taxes and military service.

For the generals, it is a great blessing to have such a warlike and military meritorious emperor. Therefore, the Great Chu Dynasty has never lacked brave generals who are not afraid of death.

Xuanhe Emperor Long's body is weak, and he is afraid that his life will not be long. Next, the matter of establishing a prince should also be brought to the court.

Pingguo Justice was about to go out, and Zhao Gonggong walked over: "Pingguo Gongwei Guogong Jingguo Gong, please stay." The emperor invited the three princes to go to the Baohe Palace to discuss matters. ”

……

The Jinluan Hall is not far from the Baohe Palace, slow down, and a cup of tea has arrived.

Wei Guogong glanced at Ping Guogong, who looked calm, and suddenly laughed in a low voice: "You haven't met your future daughter-in-law yet!" When you enter the Baohe Hall today, you will be able to see Doctor Cheng! ”

Yasukuni also laughed in a low voice.

Ping Guogong is so sophisticated, he will not blush because of this joke, and he responded back with a smile: "Then I have to open my eyes and take a good look today." ”

Look at what Cheng Jinrong looks like! He took his unruly bastard son into obedience.

As soon as Ping Guogong stepped into the main hall, he saw the legendary Imperial Doctor Cheng.

The slender girl in a green official uniform stood quietly in the corner, her face was as delicate as jade, her black eyes were as quiet as a deep pool, and the corners of her rosy lips were slightly raised.

Sure enough, she is a beautiful and unparalleled beauty!

What's even more striking is the calm and calm that moves freely and calmly. On an errand in front of the emperor, he can have such a bearing, which makes people have to be impressed.

One look at the face, and those elegant or Sven or delicate famous ladies are compared.

Ping Guogong nodded secretly in his heart. Although the son is a bit of a jerk, his vision is first-class.

Cheng Jinrong was also quietly looking at Ping Guogong.

He Qi inherited the beauty of his mother-in-law Zhu, and the appearance of the prince of Heping Guo is not very similar. It's the two brothers He Dalang and He Shilang, who look more like Pingguo Gong.

As the chief general of the border army who has held military power for many years, and the first person in the Three Kingdoms of the Great Chu Dynasty, Ping Guogong has a cold and solemn face, and his momentum is domineering. Standing there, he arched his hand, and his voice was deep: "The last general has seen the emperor." ”

The Duke of Wei Guo and the Duke of Yasukuni saluted together.

Emperor Xuanhe, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a slightly pale face, opened his mouth, and coughed before he could speak. coughed several times before he spit out the thick phlegm in his throat, and finally spoke freely: "Let's all be flat!" ”

The Duke of Wei Guo and the Duke of Jingguo have long been accustomed to the appearance of Emperor Xuanhe.

Ping Guogong saw it for the first time, and his heart sank again. No wonder Emperor Xuanhe did not go to court. This appearance is indeed not suitable for hundreds of officials to see.

It stands to reason that the Son of Heaven summoned all the ministers to discuss matters, and the idle people should withdraw from the temple.

However, Xuanhe Emperor's body is not as good as day by day, and he is often sick, and he has long been accustomed to letting Cheng Jinrong serve by his side.

Emperor Xuanhe didn't mention it, and several princes naturally wouldn't talk uninterestingly.

"The return of Pingguo Gong to Beijing and the dynasty is very gratifying." Emperor Xuanhe rarely had such a pleasant face: "The war at the border pass has been settled, you don't have to rush to the border pass, stay in the capital for a few months!" often enter the palace and talk to me. ”

To be able to get the sentence of the Son of Heaven "often enter the palace to talk to me" is really decent.

Ping Guogong smiled and replied: "Thank you for the emperor's love." However, the last general is really relieved not to go to the border pass, so it is better to leave Beijing and go back early. ”

He was seriously injured, and neither was he, the main general, gone. It would not be wonderful if there were other nomads outside the Guanwai who came up with the idea of taking the opportunity to "fight the grass valley".

As the Son of Heaven, when he saw Ping Guogong, who was full of concern about the situation at the border gates, how could he be dissatisfied?

Emperor Xuanhe said casually: "If this is the case, then stay for a month." I haven't seen you for many years, and the monarch and the minister should also take this opportunity to get together. Perhaps, in three years and five years, what you hear will be the news of my death. ”

Ping Guogong's heart tightened, and he replied without thinking: "The emperor's dragon body is healthy, long live the thousand autumns!" ”

The Duke of Weiguo Jingguo was also shocked by Emperor Xuanhe's sudden words, and said together: "The emperor is in good health, long live the autumn!" ”

Emperor Xuanhe tugged at the corners of his mouth, his gaze swept over Cheng Jinrong, who looked as usual, and then fell on the faces of Ping Guogong and the others: "I just said it casually, you don't have to be nervous." ”

"There is always a day when people close their eyes. I'm over forty years old this year, and the dragon's body is indeed not as good as before. It's time to think about the establishment of the reserve. I called you here today to ask you first. ”

"Who do you think I should appoint as the prince?"
