Chapter 293: The Emperor is Seriously Ill
And the eldest princess left Pei Guifei to take care of Zhao Duqi, and she followed her father-in-law out of the dormitory, and really saw Jiang Fengmao, Zhao Yuhuai, Weng Yuan, Lord Fang and others outside the main hall.
When everyone saw the eldest princess coming out, they immediately saluted: "See the eldest princess." ”
"Why are they all here? The emperor is not very happy now, so he asked the palace to come out to take a look. When everyone saw the eldest princess say this, they were a little unsure whether Zhao Duqi didn't want to see them.
It's just that when he saw that the eldest princess was standing next to Zhao Duqi's close eunuch, the doubts in his heart were eliminated.
Then I saw Weng Yuan smiling and presenting the fold in his hand to the eldest princess, and then said: "Back to the eldest princess, this is the list of Wenju and Wuju who have passed the Qiuyu exam this time. ”
The eldest princess looked at the two books in Weng Yuan's hand, and then glanced at Gonggong Chun, only to see Gonggong Chun immediately comprehend and walked up, respectfully took the fold in Weng Yuan's hand, held it in his hand and handed it to the eldest princess.
"Only that? If there is nothing else, just go back. Obviously, the eldest princess didn't want to stay here for a long time, so she spoke directly.
"Eldest princess, if the emperor is fine, the ministers still want to meet the emperor in person, and want to report the matter of next year's spring to the emperor in detail."
At this time, Zhao Yuhuai suddenly spoke up and stood face to face with the strong eldest princess, Zhao Yuhuai, a rising star, was not inferior at all.
The eldest princess looked at Zhao Yuhuai with an indifferent face, and responded lightly: "The emperor has now taken a break from drinking medicine, if there is anything to talk about later." What's more, this spring is all about next year, and there is no rush now. ”
After speaking, the eldest princess led Gonggong Chun back to the dormitory.
"The eldest prince, it's not right. If the emperor is unwell, why does the eldest princess let us not even meet us? Could it be that the emperor is not a minor illness at all? Weng Yuan looked at the vermilion lacquer door that had been closed at this time, and said with doubts in his eyes.
And his words immediately attracted the attention of Jiang Fengmao and Lord Fang, and they saw that both of them were looking at the hall with puzzled faces, and felt that the actions of the eldest princess today were really a little incomprehensible.
"Let's wait for a while. Let's see what excuses the eldest princess has. I don't know what Guogong and Master Fang think? Zhao Yuhuai raised his eyes and glanced at the palace in front of him, and then asked Jiang Fengmao and the others beside him.
Everyone also felt that something was strange today, so they nodded their heads, and then returned to their own mansions.
However, for three days in a row, Zhao Duqi did not go to the court on the grounds of illness, which immediately caused heated discussions among the ministers of the DPRK and China.
And Jiang Fengmao and the others, who had already known a little bit of the inside story, also frowned and remained silent, and after the morning dynasty was over, several people walked in the direction of Zhao Duqi's dormitory, and once again asked to be able to face the saint.
And today, it was still the eldest princess who came out to block them, and the reason was no different from the previous days.
"Why did the eldest princess prevent her ministers from meeting the emperor in person many times? Could it be that there is something wrong with the emperor's body? Just as the eldest princess was about to turn around and leave, Weng Yuan immediately opened her mouth full of deep meaning.
"What do you mean by this? The palace and the emperor are blood relatives, could it be that Lord Weng is suspecting something? Lord Weng knows that his words and deeds are already the following crimes, does Lord Weng want the palace to send the Praetorian Guards to drag you out and behead you immediately? "The eldest princess has been in the palace for so many years, and she has experienced the catastrophe of life and death I don't know how many times, how can she be frightened by Weng Yuan's provocation in a few words?
On the contrary, it was the eldest princess's sentence of 'the following offense', which immediately made Weng Yuan close his mouth, and then stood behind Zhao Yuhuai again and fell silent.
"Then please ask the eldest princess to make it clear, why hasn't the emperor been to the early court in the past few days? so that the minister can explain to the hundred officials. Otherwise, today's ministers will definitely not leave this place. ”
Seeing the eldest princess like this, Zhao Jinhuai didn't want to retreat after being scared a few words, but there was a insistence in his tone that he would never back down, and his eyes were even more empty, which made the eldest princess frown slightly without a trace.
"The eldest princess's affection for the emperor's sisters and brothers is also known to everyone in the government and the opposition. It's just that the emperor has been in the early court for three days, and the court has already piled up a lot of official documents waiting for the emperor to approve it.
What's more, Prince Nanyue and others are still living in the post house, and they are also well aware of the affairs of our dynasty, if it goes on for a long time, I am only afraid that Nanyue will be sneak attacked, and I also ask the eldest princess to focus on the overall situation, so that Weichen and others can see the emperor. ”
Jiang Fengmao thought of the emotions of the hundreds of officials in the court during this time, so he said with a look of embarrassment, that is, he hoped that the eldest princess could understand the feelings of these courtiers, and not always blindly block out of the dormitory and interfere with the government affairs.
The eldest princess saw that Jiang Fengmao was talking about this now, and remembered what the imperial doctor said to her the night before, her face was embarrassed and she sighed slightly, and then slowly spoke, "The palace naturally knows your difficulties, but I am afraid that the emperor's illness will not be cured for the time being."
Besides, the imperial doctor instructed to recuperate, the palace naturally does not dare to take the emperor's life as a child's play, if there is something wrong with the emperor's dragon body, it will shake the country's capital, and now the affairs of the court, with a few of you here, the emperor is naturally relieved. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, this Zhao Duqi has always been healthy, how could he suddenly fall ill now, and he can't get better for a while. If it goes on like this, won't Zhao Duqi be able to go to the early dynasty for a long time?
This is good news for Zhao Yuhuai and others.
It's just that in the hearts of Jiang Fengmao and Master Fang, I'm afraid it's bad news, especially now that King Ping and Gu ** are not in Kyoto, Zhao Yuhuai is the only one in the court, and Gu Hongxiao is in his camp.
Zhao Jinhuai's forces can't compete with Zhao Yuhuai at all, and Zhao Duqi fell ill at this time, which is really not a good time.
"Since you are all here, this palace will inform you of everything the emperor ordered this morning." The eldest princess had different faces when she saw them.
knew that Zhao Duqi's illness made them all have different thoughts, but now that they can't hide it, they might as well tell part of the truth, so that static braking is the best choice.
"Please also ask the eldest princess to make it clear." Since it was Zhao Duqi's command, several people naturally did not dare to be the slightest bit lazy.
"This plague is serious, and it has already caused me Qingqi to lose more than 100,000 people, and the emperor has also thought about it repeatedly and decided to advance the time of this spring festival. In this way, the imperial court can focus more on the plague, I wonder what your lords think? The eldest princess said this with a solemn face.
After hearing such a decision, several people also set off a big wave in their hearts.
Jiang Fengmao immediately raised his eyes and looked at the eldest princess, and he didn't understand why Zhao Duqi would make such a choice?
Although it is said that it is the emperor's sage to think about the people, but if the imperial examination is ended early, Wen Jingyuan can no longer blatantly follow the side of the eldest prince, and if Gu ** has not returned to Beijing by then, the situation in Beijing is probably going to be dangerous.
Especially what is the situation of Zhao Duqi's body now, except for the eldest princess and the palace people who serve Zhao Duqi, I am afraid no one knows.
If the prince forces the palace in the future, then the palace and the court will probably be killed and injured, and the events of the year are still vivid.
Could it be that Zhao Duqi gambled the lives of so many ministers of the DPRK and China for the sake of the people? It's not a fair deal.
And the words of the eldest princess also aroused Zhao Yuhuai's vigilance, if Zhao Duqi was sick, Zhao Yuhuai would be able to believe a point or two, after all, Zhao Duqi was very old, plus how could people not get sick if they ate whole grains?
But the eldest princess clearly knew that the imperial examination was a strategy used by Zhao Duqi to contain herself during the period when Gu ** was not in the court, why did she decide to shorten the time at this critical moment?
Does this make no sense? Or is it that Zhao Duqi has already thought of other ways to deal with himself? That's why I deliberately called it sick, and the eldest princess was just a disguise?
The eldest princess took in the subtle changes in the expressions in Jiang Fengmao and Zhao Yuhuai's eyes, and then spoke again: "In this case, this examination is scheduled to be held on the first day of the first month of next month. Please go back and hurry up to prepare, don't be taken advantage of by others. ”
"Eldest princess, the minister has something I want to play." But Weng Yuan still didn't give up, even if he risked the following crimes of being beheaded, he had to speak.
"Lord Weng has so many words today. You also know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the palace can only convey the emperor's will just now. The eldest princess looked at Weng Yuan coldly, and her tone was quite reproachful for his rudeness.
"Please also ask the eldest princess to transfer this to the emperor on behalf of Weichen." Weng Yuan took out a book from his sleeve that had already been written, and then handed it to Gonggong Chun, who was accompanying him, and then withdrew with the others.
"The eldest prince, look, what kind of conspiracy are the eldest princess and the emperor playing?" Inside the carriage, Weng Yuan looked at Zhao Yuhuai with a nervous expression.
When he heard the news that Zhao Duqi was seriously ill from the mouth of the eldest princess just now, Weng Yuan actually had a moment when he was extremely happy.
It's just that after secretly glancing at the eldest prince, he found that his face did not change and his expression was still the same, so he knew that there was probably a lot of article here, so Weng Yuan was silent after the reproach of the eldest princess.
