Chapter 64 The Emperor's Edict

Another minister said; "It's really a little strange, the emperor suddenly fell ill, the eldest prince was suddenly poisoned, and the emperor was sick, except for King Ning, the emperor didn't summon any ministers, do you say that this day is going to change?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other ministers changed.

"Okay, the hour is not early, the early dynasty is about to begin, no matter how the sky changes, it has nothing to do with us." Some chubby ministers spoke.

The other ministers exchanged glances.

Today's weather is not very good, and the sun is obscured by thick clouds, as if it is going to rain.

The weather in February is not as cold as in winter, and the spring flowers have sprouted, and spring is just around the corner.

Since Emperor Xia Liang fell ill, all the affairs of the court were managed by King Ning.

For the government affairs Ning Wang has handled it handy, there has been no major incident recently,

As usual, several ministers proposed some innocuous matters, and after some discussion, King Ning looked at his father-in-law on the side.

The father-in-law nodded knowingly.

"If the ministers have nothing else to do, then they will retire."

Wang Yong suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice; "The minister has something to do."

Ning Wangdi's gaze fell on Wang Yong's body.

Wang Yong is the elder brother of Concubine Shu, just a general of the fifth grade, and King Ning didn't care too much about this person on weekdays.

For some reason, a bad premonition rose in King Ning's heart.

Ning Wang Dao; "What does General Wang have to say?"

Wang Yong straightened up, looked directly at King Ning, and said slowly: "If someone makes a mistake, what should I do?" ”

King Ning raised his eyebrows, "General Wang's words are strange, if you make a mistake, you have to see what mistake you make." ”

King Ning secretly thought in his heart, this Wang Yong should not have discovered anything?

Wang Yong's eyes were sharp, and he slowly spoke: "What if it is the crime of rebellion?" ”

King Ning's body stiffened, and sure enough, Wang Yong knew something.

King Ning was very calm on the surface, he looked at Wang Yong suspiciously: "Rebellion is a big crime, according to the laws of our dynasty, not only will you kill your head, but you will also be connected with the nine clans." ”

The corners of Wang Yong's mouth hooked up with a smile: "What if King Ning, you committed the crime of rebellion?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked at King Ning in unison, and the expression on their faces was very surprised.

Immediately, a minister jumped out and accused Wang Yong: "General Wang hasn't woken up yet, talking nonsense here, how could King Ning rebel." ”

Immediately, another minister answered: "General Wang's rebellion is a serious crime, and you can't talk nonsense without evidence." ”

Naturally, everyone would not believe Wang Yong's words.

King Ning's face was not very good-looking, he looked at Wang Yong with gloomy eyes, what did he know?

The crowd began to whisper.

The corners of King Ning's mouth hooked: "Since General Wang said that I rebelled, then come up with evidence." ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Wang Yong again.

The expression on Wang Yong's face did not change, and he said very calmly: "Since King Ning did not rebel, then please let King Ning let us meet the emperor." ”

"The emperor has ordered that no one will see him." King Ning said in a calm tone.

Wang Yong's voice suddenly rose: "I don't think the emperor is seriously ill, but King Ning put the emperor under house arrest, right?" ”

King Ning chuckled: "How could I put the emperor under house arrest, the emperor is seriously ill and has been diagnosed by several imperial doctors." ”

"As we all know, it was Imperial Physician Li who treated the emperor, and before the emperor fell ill, Imperial Physician Li suddenly resigned and returned to his hometown, which has to make people suspicious."

"Since General Wang doesn't believe in this king, he can pass it on to the imperial doctor who is diagnosed and treated by the emperor and confront him."

After that, King Ning instructed his father-in-law to go to the Tai Hospital to pass on to the emperor's doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Wang Yong did not stop.

After a while, the father-in-law entered the main hall with several imperial doctors.

Several imperial doctors saluted King Ning above the main hall.

King Ning asked solemnly: "This king asks you, the emperor is seriously ill. ”

One of them, who looked to be in his fifties and had a white beard, said, "The emperor is indeed seriously ill. ”

King Ning looked at the ministers: "Imperial Doctor Chen is the elder of the Imperial Hospital, his medical skills are superb, and the emperor is indeed seriously ill." ”

"Maybe King Ning, you bought these imperial doctors."

Before Wang Yong's words fell, an angry voice sounded in the hall.

"Although I am just a small imperial doctor, I will not betray the emperor because I am greedy for money, and it is impossible for me to say that I am not sick."

Imperial Physician Chen said with some anger.

The ministers of Imperial Physician Chen's character still know, and he will not take refuge in King Ning because of his money and status, and help King Ning lie.

"Dare to ask Imperial Physician Chen what disease the emperor has?" Wang Yong asked.

Imperial Physician Chen stroked his gray beard: "I'm ashamed to say that the old man has been practicing medicine for decades, and it is the first time he has seen such a strange disease, the emperor has a weak breath, and the old man prescribed medicine to the emperor." The emperor's illness did not improve. ”

Imperial Physician Chen shook his head, only feeling that he was incompetent, and he didn't even know what kind of illness the emperor had.

King Ning spoke: "The emperor has this strange illness and does not want to see people, it is understandable that General Wang has such an idea, General Wang is also worried about the emperor's safety, and this king will not worry about General Wang." ”

King Ning looked very generous.

The ministers began to discuss.

"General Wang slandered King Ning so much, King Ning didn't care about it, it can be seen that King Ning is a generous person."

"Not really."

“……”

Regarding the surrounding discussions, Wang Yong's expression still did not change.

"Since King Ning has no intention of rebelling, the minister wants to invite someone to the palace."

The surrounding ministers only felt that Wang Yong was a reckless man, with a simple mind and well-developed limbs.

"Since General Wang wants to pass it on, then pass it on!"

What King Ning didn't expect was that the person who entered the hall turned out to be Xia Pengyu.

The moment Xia Pengyu entered the main hall, King Ning's face was a little pale.

His gaze looked at Imperial Physician Li.

Imperial Physician Li lowered his head.

He could feel the sharp eyes that King Ning was looking at him.

King Ning's hand was slightly drilled into a fist.

The ministers' eyes fell on Xia Pengyu.

"Didn't you say that the eldest prince was poisoned and unconscious?"

"Yes! When did the Great Prince wake up? ”

Several ministers lowered their voices and whispered.

Xia Pengyu walked slowly in front of King Ning, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly; "Uncle Huang, I didn't expect my poison to have been cured, right?"

King Ning really didn't expect that the poison in Xia Pengyu had been cured.

When King Ning saw him leave the hall, he knew that his plan had been seen through.

King Ning didn't have a trace of panic in his heart, he said with a smile; "Great, the eldest prince, the poison in you has been resolved, this king can finally breathe a sigh of relief, when this king knows that the eldest prince you are poisoned, he is worried, how did you poison the eldest prince."

King Ning said worriedly.

Xia Pengyu sneered in his heart, and the cat cried and pretended to be compassionate.

Xia Pengyu's eyes narrowed, and his voice was low; "Why am I poisoned, don't you know, Uncle Huang?"

King Ning said blankly; "How can this king know why you were poisoned, the eldest prince?"

Xia Pengyu didn't want to talk nonsense with King Ning; "Uncle Huang, my father is seriously ill and asked Uncle Huang to manage the government on your behalf, Uncle Huang, you have worked hard."

King Ning smiled; "The emperor asked me to manage the government on my behalf, because he can trust me, this is what I should do."

"Sharing the worries of my father is what I should do as a prince."

How could King Ning not hear the meaning of Xia Pengyu's words.

"It's natural for you, as a prince, to share the emperor's worries, but it's just ......" King Ning paused and said; Without the emperor's consent, you are not righteous, but I am afraid that the ministers will not be convinced. ”

Half of these ministers were people from King Ning.

Xia Pengyu is not stupid, he naturally knows that there are many people from King Ning among these ministers, and these people are naturally on King Ning's side.

King Ning was thinking about what to do next, it seemed that it was unlikely that he would not kill anyone to ascend to the throne.

King Ning looked at Xia Pengyu deeply, this is you forcing me to toast and not eat and drink.

King Ning didn't want to do this, his eyes looked at his father-in-law beside him.

Gonggong Wen stepped forward slowly, Gonggong Wen was an old man next to the emperor, although he was a eunuch, the ministers of the court and the central government all sold him some face.

"Your Highness, you are in good health, you should not be overworked, the government is still handed over to King Ning, Your Highness, you should recuperate."

Xia Pengyu didn't expect that Gonggong Wen would be King Ning's person, and he looked at Gonggong Wen in surprise.

For Xia Pengyu's sharp gaze, Gonggong Wen did not dodge.

Xia Pengyu gritted his teeth; "I didn't expect you to betray your father and join King Ning."

Gonggong Wen threw a faint smile on his face; "What are you talking about, the old slave is for the good of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince doesn't appreciate it, how can he say such a thing."

Xia Pengyu pointed at Gonggong Wen and raised his voice; "You also said that you are not a dog by King Ning's side."

At this time, the ministers no longer understood the current situation, and they all looked at Gonggong Wen in a daze.

Father-in-law Wen is very calm and unhurried; "The person I owe allegiance to has always been the emperor."

"You still dare to say that your allegiance is to your father."

Gong Wen's face changed suddenly, and his expression became very serious; "The edict of the first emperor is located in King Ning, which I have seen with my own eyes, the edict of the first emperor has been tampered with by the current emperor, and King Ning is the emperor of my Xia Liang."

As soon as these words came out, the silence in the hall was a little terrifying.

Many ministers have heard this rumor.

Whether the edict of the first emperor was passed on to King Ning, or the current emperor is unknown.

Soon after the current emperor ascended the throne, the treasury where the edict of the former emperor was stored was inexplicably set on fire, and the edict of the former emperor was burned along with the handwritten words of the former emperor.

At that time, there were also rumors that the edict was forged by the current emperor, so the treasury where the edict was stored would catch fire.

Xia Pengyu didn't expect King Ning to be so shameless, he gritted his teeth and said; "The edict of the first emperor is clearly written, and my father is the emperor, since Gonggong Wen said that the edict of the first emperor is written as the emperor, then please take out the edict of the first emperor and let us all take a look."

"The edict of the former emperor has long been destroyed by the current emperor." Gong Wen said openly.

Xia Pengyu chuckled; "Empty mouth and white teeth, Gonggong Wen said that the first emperor passed the throne to King Ning, and he passed it to King Ning, without any evidence, Gonggong Wen, don't talk nonsense here."

"Who said there was no evidence."
