The atmosphere in the Hou Mansion was tense, and the emperor stood down, his face was like water, and his nervous appearance was worse than when the queen gave birth to a princess.

The basins of black blood water in the room came out, which made people's hearts sink when they saw it, and Yu Ning asked, "Mr. Wang can develop an antidote?" ”

Qingshan replied: "It just so happened that Mr. was out of the customs today, and I thought it was to develop an antidote. ”

Qi Yanzhi said: "That old man won't make a move easily, he will be able to cure it, and there will be nothing wrong with a small fuss." ”

He said this as if to give himself confidence, and he said it very firmly.

But fortunately, Wang Dalang will not disappoint people every time, although it is dangerous this time, he also rescued people, and it was not until the evening that he came out trembling and holding half his life.

"Hard work, sir." Xie Ruqing had been guarding outside, and immediately asked Qingshan to support Wang Chong, ignoring the situation of the trouble, and ordered, "Ruhuan, quickly bring soup and rice to Mr., I will definitely be hungry if I think about it." ”

Wang Chong sat on the chair and said, "My life has been saved, I can't wake up tonight, wait for tomorrow." ”

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Yu Ning was still concerned about other questions: "Sir, will there be sequelae?" ”

If this was asked a few years ago, he would have been scolded by Wang Chong for turning his head, as Qi Yanzhi said, Wang Chong can be cured as long as he makes a move, this treatment is not a simple life, he can restore people to normal to the greatest extent, just like Yu Ning's legs at the beginning.

Wang Chong glanced at him angrily, he was really tired and anxious, and he didn't have the strength to scold him, "Xiaohao's leg injury is not a problem, it has been cured a long time ago, as long as the residual poison is removed, it will be fine." ”

Yu Ning's tone was relieved to the end, and he actually hugged his fist at Wang Chong: "Sir, great grace!" ”

This scared Wang Chong, not only Wang Chong, everyone was shocked, everyone was not angry with Wang Chong, they rarely saluted him on weekdays, and he was not rare in this, as long as he gave him good wine and meat, he would be grateful to him.

Why is the emperor like this? Even if he cares about small troubles, the king of a country doesn't need to salute a commoner.

"Don't, Your Majesty, the grass people can't afford it." Wang Chong said that he couldn't stand it, and he didn't raise his buttocks, "I'm the most tired of these in my life, don't come to scold." ”

Yu Ning smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said in a deep voice: "If Mr. knew what kind of burden Xiao Hao would bear in the future, he would probably be able to understand me." ”

Everyone chuckled in their hearts, what thoughts were about to come out, Qingshan looked at Qi Er, the two looked at Qi Yanzhi at the same time, Xie Ruqing looked at Qi Yanzhi, and then looked at Yu Ning, pressing the pounding heart, blurted out: "The emperor can't!" ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Xie Ruqing again, Xie Ruqing just subconsciously followed his own thoughts to stop it, not wanting Yu Ning to make his plan public.

Yu Ning has already made up his mind, no one can stop him, he looked at Xie Ruqing and smiled, there was apology and helplessness in his eyes, Xie Ruqing was looked at by him like this, some words couldn't be said, she knew everything in her heart, but every time it was a small trouble, she selfishly hoped that he would be easy and smooth for the rest of his life, and she didn't want to push him to the cusp.

Qi Yanzhi said at this time: "Let's talk about it after this matter, Ruqing, you have been tired for a day, and you have to rest." ”

Ruhuan received his uncle's eyes, and turned to Xie Ruqing and said, "Miss, I see that you are a little dizzy, I will press it for you." ”

Xie Ruqing also knew that he shouldn't have said this, so he went down the steps.

Wang Chong didn't let go of Yu Ning's words, and snorted: "What are you going to do with the little trouble?" Don't thank me for being a cow and a horse for your royal family, I didn't save his life so that he could be called by you. ”

Yu Ning stood on the armrests and said: "It's true to be a cow and a horse, but it's not for the royal family, it's for the people of the world." ”

Wang Chong opened his mouth, as if he didn't react to what he said, Qi Yanzhi looked at Yu Ning and didn't speak, he didn't know what to say at this time.

Qi Xiaohao woke up groggily, as if he had a long Spring and Autumn dream, dreamed of his father, dreamed of A-Ying Akang and A-Dan, and even gangs, scene after scene like watching flowers, and in the end, it was like a kaleidoscope of dreams, and in the end, I didn't know where to make the sound, it seemed that A-Ying scolded him, saying that he would never pay attention to him anymore, he was startled, and he woke up in fright.

"Trouble?" Xie Ruqing felt Qi Xiaohao's fingers move, carefully studied his expression, and then his eyelids moved again, and then slowly opened, she took the handkerchief and carefully wiped his face, and asked, "Xiaohao, are you awake?" ”

"Mother." Qi Xiaohao was dizzy—mainly hungry, he raised his hand and rubbed his head, "Do you have anything to eat, you're hungry." ”

"Yes, you wait." Xie Ruqing called Ruhuan, "Go and bring a bowl of chicken soup porridge, and then steam a bowl of eggs, he still likes to eat." ”

"Don't worry, miss, you're all ready." Ruhuandao, "I asked Mr. a long time ago, you can't eat hard ones, and there is osmanthus stuff." ”

Qi Xiaohao immediately said: "I want osmanthus stuffing, it's tasteless in my mouth." ”

Xie Ruqing said with a smile: "You can eat osmanthus stuffed, but you have to take medicine first, you have lost too much blood this time, and you need to make up for it." ”

As soon as he heard that he was taking medicine, Qi Xiaohao's face suddenly collapsed, "Mother, I have lost too much blood and just take some supplements, what kind of medicine to take." ”

Xie Ruqing slapped him painlessly, "Usually it's up to you, but I can't rely on you this time, this is what Mr. Wang told you to drink, clean up all the toxins in your body, and then you go through the ghost gate, don't talk to the doctor, the medicine still has to be drunk." ”

Qi Xiaohao knows what kind of virtue he has, this experience is indeed terrible, if it weren't for Xie Ruqing in front of him, he couldn't be so spirited, just deliberately coquettish to reassure Xie Ruqing.

When the medicine came and there was something to eat, Qi Xiaohao took some of it, then slept for a while, and woke up again It was already dark, maybe the medicine played a role, maybe he was young and had a good foundation, and his spirit was much better.

At this time, a bunch of friends gathered in the Hou Mansion to come to see him, including A Dan Wang Chen, as well as A Ying Akang Zuoyu, all of whom couldn't wait to come after hearing that Qi Xiao woke up, everyone was so happy, and their hearts that had been hanging for several days could be regarded as letting go.

"Little fuss!" Wang Chen ran into the room first in a bluff, Ah Dan followed closely behind, and Ah Ying and the girls were embarrassed to follow up, so they had to endure it for the time being, and then talk to Xie Ruqing first.

"Aunt Ruqing, you must be tired, don't be busy today, we are not outsiders, we will go to the kitchen to find what we need to eat and drink." A-Ying took Xie Ruqing's arm and helped her to sit down.

Xie Ruqing knew that this kid must want to know about the situation of Xiao Hao, but he couldn't save face and ask, so he took the initiative to say: "I have nothing to be tired of, it is Mr. Wang who is tired, fortunately he is here, Xiao Hao escaped death, there is no big problem, you are all worried about it." ”

Ah Kang glanced at Ah Ying and said, "It's okay to make a little fuss, we are really worried about it." ”

Ah Ying was very embarrassed, and gave Ah Kang a blank look, she was tied to the chair by the queen mother yesterday, and reflected a lot, she was indeed too impatient when she encountered something, and the queen mother did that, just to remind her to calm down, even if it was a big thing, she had to calm down.

It's easy to wait for Ah Dan to finish the ink in the small room, Ah Ying Akang and Zuo Yu went to the room to see, maybe it was Xie Ruqing who eased his mood, so he was not so anxious at this time, and he looked very calm.

Qi Xiaohao was troubled by Wang Chen and them for a while, and the atmosphere calmed down suddenly, I don't know why I was a little embarrassed, especially when I saw A-Ying and Zuo Yu appearing together, I thought of an inexplicable dream, and my heart was very awkward.

"Xiaofu, why are you so haggard?" Ah Ying saw Xiao Hao's bloodless face, and immediately asked worriedly: "You have to take more tonics, what is lacking at home, I won't go to the palace to find it for you." ”

Qi Xiaohao, a young man in his prime, instinctively resisted when he heard the words of tonic, it was something that only older people ate, so he didn't want it.

"It's okay, I let out too much poisoned blood, and I will raise it back in a few days." Qi Xiaohao pretended to be relaxed.

Ah Kang asked, "Has the poison in the body been cleared?" ”

Qi Xiaohao nodded: "Well, don't worry, the old man still has the ability." ”

In this way, everyone can be regarded as completely at ease, as long as the toxins are cleaned up, it is equivalent to fine.

After saying this, everyone was speechless for a while, Zuo Yu is now much more stable, I don't know if he learned the rules in the palace, or if he has grown up and become sensible after this incident, in short, he is not like talking about Qi Xiaohao like before.

And Ah Ying is purely embarrassed, probably because Zuo Yu is there, she is not good at showing closeness to Xiao Fu.

The two rivals in love became harmonious.

Seeing this, Ah Kang had no choice but to take the initiative to stir up the topic, make some irrelevant jokes, and after chatting for a while, everyone left, because Qi Xiao had to rest.

After raising in bed like this for more than ten days, Qi Xiaohao was able to get out of bed and jump, in the end, he was young and recovered quickly.

"Mother, I feel like I can eat a cow now!" It just so happened that this kid was playing treasure and ran to Xie Ruqing to make trouble with her, "Recently, I'm going to fade out of my mouth, when can I eat meat?" ”

Xie Ruqing glanced at him, "You know how to eat, although you haven't eaten a lot of meat during this time, you haven't drunk a lot of broth, there is no shortage of oil and water in your stomach, what do you sell with me." ”

It is true that in order to satisfy the mouth of the young master Qi, Ruhuan makes all kinds of broth every day, mixed in porridge and egg custard, but when the young man eats a lot, these things can't satisfy his appetite at all, and he has to eat the fat and oily meat to enjoy it.

"Then I'm also lacking, haven't you seen that I'm thin." Qi Xiaohao begged, "It's okay to eat a little lean meat, a little bit, I must take medicine after eating meat!" ”

Xie Ruqing couldn't resist him, "Okay, okay, just let you take a bite, if you don't know, you still think we are abusing you." ”

"Mother is the best!" Qi Xiaohao hugged his mother's neck and kissed her on the face.

Xie Ruqing pushed him away with a look of disgust, "How old a child is still here, and he is not afraid of other people's jokes." ”

"Who can laugh at me, it's too late for people to envy me!" Qi Xiaohao said proudly.

Xie Ruqing couldn't do anything about him, the mother and son laughed for a while, Xie Ruqing pulled him to sit down beside him, and said, "You are okay now, there is something I should talk to you about." ”

"What's the matter, mother, you can tell me directly." Qi Xiaohao listened carefully.

"Xiao Hao, my mother asked you, if your emperor's uncle stays in the palace in the future, how will you stay?" Xie Ruqing asked directly.

"Wow, that's it." Qi Xiaohao and Yu Ning have already talked about it, so they are not surprised, "Uncle Emperor has already told me, I don't think it's feasible, after all, I'm not a royal person, where is it so easy to be a prince, but Uncle Emperor is powerless now, I hope I will share it for him, and I still have to do some things within my ability, mother, are you worried that I will not end well in politics in the future, in fact, you really don't have to worry, you see that my father has been busy for more than ten years, isn't it okay, the plan is in the people, if I don't have the diamond diamond, I won't stop the porcelain work, Besides, I also want to do something for the people, you don't know the difficulties of the world if you don't know the difficulties of the world, and if you see it, you probably won't stand idly by. ”

Xie Ruqing nodded, her little trouble has indeed grown up, knowing that he cares about the world, he can have this mind and this ability, but his father and mother only have support, how can they pull back. By now, she has gradually understood what Qi Yanzhi said before, and he has seen far away, and he has expected it from a long time ago to today.

"Little trouble, my mother didn't mean to pull your hind legs, you grew up, and you watched your own life, but this matter, I see what your uncle meant, probably without discussion, he seems to have made up his mind to pass on to you, listen to your father's meaning, he began to prepare for this matter a long time ago, if it wasn't for your injury and poisoning this time, he would have been ready to abdicate a long time ago."

"What, abdication?" Qi Xiaohao didn't expect Yu Ning to arrange it so quickly, "How old is he, just the right age, I thought he was just complaining to me and telling me, why do you have to work for another twenty years, right?" ”

Xie Ruqing said: "That's what I said, your uncle always feels that he is not capable enough, in the long run, the country will be destroyed in his hands, twenty years is not short, if a dynasty falls, but in the blink of an eye, it is not that step, the accumulation of twenty years is also to create a burden for the next successor, if A Ying succeeds to the throne, he may pave the way for a few more years, your words, he would like to give way immediately." ”

"Didn't my dad say anything?" Qi Xiaohao still felt that this was inappropriate, "He actually supported the emperor's uncle?" ”

Xie Ruqing shook his head, "Your father doesn't interfere with your emperor's uncle's decision at all now, and he is not easy to interfere in this matter, so he simply leaves it to the two of you to decide." ”

Qi Xiaohao understood, his father is completely in charge of the shopkeeper now, because he has grown up and can make his own ideas, and the emperor's uncle and emperor have been in office for a long time, and he doesn't need to interfere too much, as for himself, he is already planning to retreat.

His father is really an old fox, in the court for so many years, he has done a lot of big things, but he only bears the name of a Qingyang Marquis, during which no matter how the ministers wrote to suggest that the emperor give him a more honorable name, or the emperor took the initiative to seal it, the Marquis of Qi did not do it, about from the beginning, he was ready to lift his ass and leave at any time.

"But what about A-Ying?" Qi Xiaohao was puzzled by the emperor's uncle's arrangement, "Although nominally I have royal blood, this matter is not easy to make public, and A-Ying is the rightful successor, so it is not good to drive her out of the palace, won't it become my usurpation?" ”

Speaking of this, Xie Ruqing covered his mouth and smiled, and said deliberately: "Then it depends on how you, the master of the house, arrange her, your uncle even handed over the throne to you, and the rest is not up to you, whether you keep her in the palace as a princess, or marry her for her, it's all your business." ”

Qi Xiaohao's brows twisted unconsciously, because he thought about it along his mother's train of thought, none of them would work, A-Yingheng couldn't stay in the palace for a lifetime, and he always had to get married, but as soon as he thought of her wanting to marry, he began to be picky in his heart, looking at the capital and the world, and for a while, he couldn't think of anyone who could be worthy of A-Ying.

"No, that's not the case!" Qi Xiaohao was confused by A-Ying, thinking about the east and west, and the business was wrong, "I can't take this son at all, now that the court has just been peaceful for a few years, what does the emperor's uncle do to challenge the bottom line of the minister's rebellion at this time?" ”

Xie Ruqing touched his son's head helplessly, "The affairs of the court can't help you, but I think your emperor's uncle must have his reasons, maybe if he doesn't break it, take this opportunity, you can break some things in the court that he couldn't solve before." ”

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, change someone to be the emperor, even if he is incompetent, there must be some action in the court, at least he has to change a group of his own talents to use it easily, and according to Qi Xiaohao's temper, those who don't like the eye will definitely be replaced, and the things that don't like the eye will definitely be done, and there is no need to scruple about some stubborn forces in the court like Yu Ning, he can let go of his hands and feet. After such a purge, the DPRK and China will definitely look different.

Qi Xiaohao stopped talking, he had done things in the court, and he could understand how timid it was to do things for others, even if the emperor's uncle was not an outsider, he also gave him absolute rights, but when he started to do things, the first thing he had to consider was the emperor's uncle, because in the final analysis, it was still for the emperor's uncle, you can't take it for granted, and leave after patting your ass, without considering whether this matter has an impact on others.

If you want to completely reform the government, you must let go of your hands and feet to do a big job, or the sentence that seeks his own government in his position, and does not meddle in his position, and the ministers will not end well, otherwise with Qi Yanzhi's ability, he can do a big job back then.

On the second day, Yu Ning summoned Qi Xiaohao into the palace, and when he saw that he was alive again, he also had a smile on his face, and called him to him and said, "My eldest nephew, if you are not good, your uncle and I will be blind." ”

Qi Xiaohao twisted his face and looked worried, "Uncle, you really want to retreat, you can't ignore me, I'm so small, can you bear to put a big burden on my shoulders?" ”

"You don't come here anymore." Yu Ning poked his head, rubbed it again, and said, "Emotionally, I can't bear it, but in righteousness, I'm very relieved, your little head is better than me, the world will be handed over to you, no problem." ”

"But uncle, aren't you afraid that I will bring disaster to this world? If you leave it to me, I will change my surname in this world, that's another matter. "It's not coquettish, Qi Xiaofu and businesslike talking.

Yu Ning went to the table, took out a fold, handed it to him and said: "Whether you want to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, the decision on this matter is up to you, I have already written the fold, if you don't agree, I will tear it up immediately." ”

The excerpt is to write that Qi Xiaohao is a matter of royal identity, as long as Xiaohao thinks about it, his identity can immediately be "justified".

The emperor put Qi Xiaohao on the fire, because the reason for his refusal was that the name was not right, but since this name can be obeyed at any time, this reason is not valid.

Qi Xiaohao has lost his temper, he has to take this burden if he doesn't take it, and he has a headache when he thinks about it.

However, Qi Xiaohao is not a grinding character, not to mention that he is also prepared, since he can't change it, then take it, he has grown so big, and he has never been afraid of things.

"It doesn't matter if it's justified or not." Qi Xiaohao said, "I don't want this world, and I don't plan to pass on the descendants, I just look at your face, work hard for this dynasty for a few years, and wait for A-Ying or A-Kang to give birth to someone who can succeed to the throne in the future, and then I will give the seat to your family, this world does not have the surname Qi, of course, it doesn't matter what the surname is, as long as the successor is capable of personnel." ”

Yu Ning smiled at him with great satisfaction, glad that he had not chosen the wrong person.

The fold Yu Ning tore it up on the spot, and only said to the outside world that he recognized Xiao Hao as a godson and named him the prince, which unexpectedly caused an uproar.

Although everyone has some speculation about the emperor's decision, they can't imagine that the emperor will crown the young master of the Qi family as the crown prince, this is the prince, the future heir to the throne, not the son-in-law, which means that the world is going to change the dynasty.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate!" The old ministers came to see each other, and they couldn't wait to break their heads, "Your Majesty, please think twice, how can the position of the crown prince be passed on to others at will!" ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice, you must think about the first emperor, think about the ancestors of this dynasty, how can you be worthy of them!"

"Your Majesty, if you insist on going your own way, the old minister will kneel and die outside the palace gate!"

"Your Majesty, so do your ministers!"

Almost half of the ministers in the court opposed this matter, which was nothing more than that the matter of establishing a prince with a foreign surname was not in the interests of all parties, except for some courtiers with the Marquis of Qingyang as the head of the horse on weekdays, almost all of them were opposed.

But the part that doesn't speak out doesn't necessarily agree, it's one thing to follow the Marquis of Qingyang, it's another thing to change the dynasty in the world, besides, you can get along with Lao Tzu, not necessarily with your son, this can't be compared.

This matter is indeed incredible, there are people who are willing to give up the world to others, so some people speculate that the young master of the Qi family may be the illegitimate son of the emperor, otherwise why would he love him so much, and he was almost raised in the palace when he was young.

But if the illegitimate son can't recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, then he is still a foreigner, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will change the dynasty one day, how can the emperor's heart be so big?

In this regard, the emperor ignored it and did not explain, it seemed that he had made up his mind but asked the government, and the affairs of the court had been gradually handed over to the prince, and the prince was almost presiding over the morning court every day.

Then, the ministers began to strike the early court, every day the court was deserted, and the prince did not say anything, so what should he do, but on the third day, the prince announced that those who boycotted the court for more than five days would be dismissed on the spot, and the ministers who knelt at the gate of the palace were carried home by the imperial forest army.

There was an uproar in the court, and the ministers kneeling at the gate of the palace were also dumbfounded, how could this prince be so horizontal, he didn't play cards according to the routine, and he didn't leave a way back at all!

But the order has been issued, which is equivalent to a holy decree, and for two more days, the officials can't do it, and these people kneeling at the gate of the palace are all those who don't want a future, so on the fourth day, half of the people became grass on the wall, and honestly returned to the court to listen to the government.

The prince still has nothing to say, what should the people who come back do, there is no such thing as greeting the power with a smile, everyone sees that the prince is very lenient, and they feel that he is not as unreasonable as he imagined, so on the fifth day, some people returned to the court, pretending that they had never opposed the prince.

For this part of the people, the prince still has nothing to say, after all, there are a lot of things in the court every day, someone has to work, and so many officials can not be operated at once. But there is nothing to say about the part that did not come back, according to what was said before, all of them were dismissed on the spot, and the Imperial Forest Army politely invited them back, and if the family could not spare their hands, they would be helped by the Royal Forest Army to clean up the softness, and the next day they would send out to Beijing, without any ambiguity.

The Beijing officials were all shocked by the prince's unreasonable and domineering style, and their hearts trembled, thinking that this prince was only fifteen or sixteen years old and so ruthless, and in the future he would either be an arbitrary tyrant with bad methods, or a ruthless character who could not tolerate a little sand in his eyes, either of which was not a good thing.

So some people who will look at the direction of the wind, they began to fall to the prince, since the prince has been decided, it is better to stutter early, besides, this prince is not easy to provoke, before he finds out what temper the tiger has, it is better not to offend.

But there are always some people who are not so convinced, such as Wu Hou and others, the young master of the Qi family, the prince is so easy, they are all red-eyed, why can his son be the prince, the emperor chooses the prince too casually, right?

At the beginning of this dynasty, the emperor and the Marquis of Qingyang sealed a few painless titles in order to dismantle the power of a certain part of the dissidents in the court that was not so easy to eradicate, and fame and fortune were there, but they did not give real power. But this part of the people does not stop, there is no trouble in the court, there is still trouble in other places, corruption and bribery, gangs and factions behind the scenes, reaching out to mix in the government, doing everything, because they are not willing to be suppressed by the emperor, and are ready to rebel at any time.
