One hand grasped the bed curtain.

The pale skin was loose and clinging to the bones, and it was really thin and out of shape.

This is Xiao Yunting's hand.

As soon as Meng Huaijin had this thought, there was a knock on the door of the sleeping room.

The voice of the chief steward came from outside the door:

"Lord Shaoqing, Your Majesty has summoned you to see you, and the inner eunuch in the palace is waiting for you."

The hand that grabbed the bed curtain retracted again, Xiao Yunting sighed behind the bed curtain, "You go, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time, I heard that Your Majesty was in a coma yesterday...... Meng Huaijin, God has sent the opportunity to you, I don't know if you can seize it. ”

Meng Huaijin's footsteps paused, and he left Xiao Yunting's sleeping without hesitation.

Xiao Yunting is like this, when he is critically ill, he does not forget to plan people's hearts.

Everyone was already sick in bed, and they still knew the news that the emperor had fallen into a coma yesterday.

Xiao Yunting's ears and eyes in the palace are still very well-informed, and they don't become closed because Xiao Yunting is critically ill.

…… So, those ears and eyes are not only loyal to Xiao Yunting, right?

Meng Huaijin followed the inner chamberlain in front of the palace into the palace.

The emperor was waiting for him in the Qianqing Palace, and Meng Huaijin unexpectedly saw the queen in the palace.

The queen told the emperor to drink the medicine on time, Meng Huaijin entered the palace, and the queen closed her mouth.

Since the "tired of winning the case", the emperor's feelings have begun to improve.

The emperor rarely summoned the young concubines in the harem, and he didn't like to go to a few high-ranking concubines, but went to Kunning Palace more and more often.

Yesterday, before the emperor fell into a coma, he ordered the people around him to find the queen.

When the emperor was awakened by the imperial doctor's needle, he saw the queen sitting beside him, as if in tears.

The queen's breath was short, the rings on her body were messy, and her whole face was plain.

The plain-faced queen has an old state, no matter how beautiful she was in the past, she can't fight those young little concubines now, even the appearance of weeping is completely different from the pitiful posture of the little concubines crying, but the emperor woke up from a coma and saw such a queen, but he had mixed feelings.

The emperor thought that the empress would never cry for him again.

After all, in the queen's heart, she is no longer her husband, but the emperor who hurts her deeply.

Unexpectedly, his sudden illness would make the queen reveal her true feelings.

The emperor was emotional, and he left the queen in the Qianqing Palace very willfully, summoned Meng Huaijin, and did not shy away from the queen.

It is against the ancestral system to do so, and "the harem shall not interfere in politics" is a rule set by Wei Taizu.

But the emperor doesn't care much now.

He wasn't the first emperor to do so, either.

Emperor Daizong of this dynasty and Empress Xiaohui and his wife had a deep affection, Daizong was tormented by illness in his later years, unable to deal with government affairs alone, Empress Xiaohui moved into the Qianqing Palace to take care of Daizong personally, at first just took care of Daizong's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and later read the fold to Daizong, and helped approve the fold according to the meaning of Daizong...... It is said that for a year or two before Emperor Daijong's death, most of the government affairs were handled by Empress Hyohye alone.

This period of history, the palace and the government and the opposition are reluctant to mention it, what Queen Xiaohui did is not only to trample on the ancestral system of "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics", it is simply a chicken Si Chen!

If it weren't for Emperor Xianzong, who succeeded Daizong, who was powerful enough, Empress Xiaohui would have become a figure like Zetian and Lu Pheasant.

History that others don't know, Meng Huaijin studied history in the Hanlin Academy, and any kind of royal secrets have the opportunity to come into contact.

The emperor did not shy away from the presence of the queen, and directly asked about Tianjin Wei, Meng Huaijin's eyelids jumped, looked at the queen sitting beside the emperor, and immediately remembered the past of Empress Xiaohui.

Is the emperor sick and old, soft and guilty towards the queen, or is he deliberately trying to test the queen?

This thought flashed through Meng Huaijin's mind, and then he felt sarcastic.

The queen has no mother's family, no heirs, and the only five princes who are close to the queen are still trapped in Huainan and cannot get out.

Is it still necessary for the queen mother, who is bare-handed and has nothing to rely on, to make the emperor tempted?

Perhaps because of this, the emperor, who suddenly fell ill, trusted the queen mother-

"Meng Shaoqing, what concerns do you have about the situation in Tianjin Wei, don't you dare to tell the truth in front of me?"

Meng Huai didn't answer for a long time, and the emperor couldn't help but urge, and there was dissatisfaction in his tone.

Meng Huaijin gathered his mind and took out a book from his sleeve.

"The results of Wei Chen's investigation are all the opinions on this matter, please Your Majesty Holy Judgment."

The chamberlain folded the piece in Meng Huaijin's hand, but the emperor asked the chamberlain to send it to the empress, "Zitong will read it for me." ”

The hall is quiet, and the needles can be heard.

The attendants didn't dare to breathe.

How can the queen see such a twist and turn.

But the emperor ordered, who would dare to refute it?

The queen stared at the fold in front of her and raised her hand, Meng Huaijin suddenly interrupted the queen, "Your Majesty, let's dictate it by the minister." The erosion of the Tianjin Three Davids has been handed over to His Majesty by Weichen before. The minister found out that the deficit of the granary in Tianjin was closely related to the erosion of the guard, and the important thing was that the grain in the granary of Tianjin flowed to the south of the Yangtze River, and Weichen believed that this was the key point. ”

Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, and it is the granary of the Great Wei.

Grain from the south was transported to the north and fed the capital.

The grain that could be transported from the south was stolen from the granary of Tianjin and transported back to the south.

The Emperor's brow furrowed.

"So someone is using my food to feed my enemies?"

Meng Huaijin said that it was obviously Jiangnan, but the emperor thought of the matter of Huainan, yesterday eight hundred miles of urgent report, the scarf thief broke through Huai'an City, and even almost occupied Huai'an!

The Great Wei has not been peaceful in recent years, at the end of the year, either there is a disaster here or there are bandits, the emperor did not put the scarf thief in Huainan in his eyes at the beginning, if it was not for the scarf thief to occupy the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family in Haozhou, the emperor would not have bothered too much effort for the scarf thief.

I didn't expect the scarf thief to develop so quickly.

A group of mud-legged rebels, can they be so efficient?

The emperor felt that someone was secretly supporting the scarf thief in Huainan, and the results of Meng Huaijin's investigation only confirmed the emperor's speculation.

Meng Huaijin and the empress didn't speak, and the emperor was obviously angry: "There is also the fact that I have allocated 400,000 stone of disaster relief food to Huainan, which is used to save the people affected by the disaster in Huainan, not to send military food to thieves!" Therefore, there are ginseng in the court, the Five Emperors and Cheng Qing, and I have suppressed them, hoping that they will not disappoint me! ”

Meng Huaijin had just returned to the capital, and he didn't know what the court was arguing about the Huainan disaster relief when he was stranded in Tianjin.

The emperor's anger rushed to the five princes and Cheng Qing and others who were in Huainan for disaster relief, but he avoided the matter of the three Davids in Tianjin.

The emperor is really old.

After imprisoning the four princes and reprimanding the three princes, he became tolerant of other adult sons, and the matter of the Tianjin Guard, the emperor really wanted to raise it high and put it down gently, but in this way, it was too unfair to the five princes...... Meng Huaijin lowered his head to hide his true emotions.

The queen, who had been silent, suddenly said:

"If Your Majesty thinks that it is not good for Xiao Wu to be young, why should he agree to Xiao Wu to go to Huainan for disaster relief? Now that the scarf thieves are rampant, Xiao Wu is in danger of going to Huainan, and the ministers in the court who impeached Xiao Wu don't know who instigated them, and the concubines really want to know, do they look at Xiao Wu unpleasantly, or do they look at the concubines unpleasantly...... Maybe the only thing Xiao Wu did wrong was that he shouldn't be close to his concubines! ”
