Chapter 208: The Prince's Imprisonment
The next day, Feng Shen got up early in the morning, and before dawn he came to wait outside the palace of Emperor Changming, and only went in after Emperor Changming woke up, personally served him to wash, and brought him breakfast. Emperor Changming said to him: "These things are served by palace people, you don't need to do this as a prince, you lose your identity, and you won't have to be so early tomorrow." ”
Feng Shencai was full of disagreement: "Father, what you said is not right, you are my father, and now you are sick and bedridden, isn't it what I should do to serve you, besides, I am also looking forward to you, but I can't let you sneak out to the court." He made a joke.
After Emperor Changming had eaten breakfast, Feng Shencai counted the time, and then asked the following imperial doctors to continue to boil medicine according to yesterday's prescription, and he gave Emperor Changming acupuncture. When the acupuncture was over, the decoction came, and it was still like yesterday, Feng Shencai first tasted it himself before handing it to Emperor Changming.
After Emperor Changming drank the medicine in one go, Feng Shencai also prepared some candy candied fruit for Emperor Changming, and said to Emperor Changming: "Father, you must have a bitter mouth after drinking the medicine, you can eat some candied fruit, sweet mouth, you can rest assured, these are specially selected by me, and they will not clash with the medicinal properties." ”
Emperor Changming smiled: "Are you treating me like a child, coaxing me like this?" When Feng Shencai heard this, he smiled embarrassedly, and said to Emperor Changming: "When I was sick when I was a child, my master coaxed me like this, and then I always thought that sick people must drink medicine and eat candied fruit. ”
Emperor Changming listened to Feng Shencai talk about when he was a child, and he also remembered that this son was not by his side since he was a child, and for the first time he felt a trace of guilt in his heart, but he was soon pressed down again, if this son was by his side since he was a child, then he would not be able to sit on the throne, and the first emperor chose himself, isn't it because he has no children under his knees.
Heh, Emperor Changming thought of it in his heart, and sneered in his heart, the first emperor could be regarded as having exhausted the organs for the sake of the little emperor's grandson, but he never thought that he would have a son who was living among the people.
At this time, the ministers also came to ask Emperor Changming to say goodbye, Emperor Changming didn't say how long this early dynasty would stop yesterday, they were really relieved, so they came over together. "The ministers have seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, have seen the Great Prince, the Great Prince Chitose." "Get up, sit down." Emperor Changming gave them all seats.
At this time, the prime minister stood up and asked Feng Shencai: "The old minister has seen the eldest prince, I heard that you are helping Your Majesty to treat, I don't know how your Majesty's body is, how long will it take to recover?" ”
Feng Shencai saw that Cheng asked himself, although he was the prince, but he still answered him with a lot of face: "Father's physical condition is okay, but you also know that illness comes like a mountain, illness goes like a thread, and the father's body still needs a long time to recuperate, at least a month can not go to court, these days can only ask you old ministers to help your father solve problems." ”
When these ministers heard this, they were a little anxious, and they all looked at Emperor Changming, and the prime minister also asked: "The old minister dares to ask Your Majesty, is what the eldest prince said true?" Are you really not going to court for the next month? ”
Emperor Changming nodded and said, "That's right, I won't be able to go to the court in the next month, and I will leave the affairs of the court to you." When these ministers heard this, they were anxious: "Your Majesty, leave it to us?" This is not in accordance with the rules, if you don't go to court for a month, how should you deal with these state affairs? Could it be that Your Majesty, you want to lie on the bed and review the recital for us? "Moxue Literature Network
Feng Shencai suddenly opened his mouth to stop: "This is not good, my father's body is not good yet, and I must not hurt my mind during the treatment, otherwise the treatment effect will be greatly reduced." "This, how good is this." When the ministers heard that this would not work, it would not work, and they were very anxious, after all, if something big happened, who would have the right to decide for the emperor? What if the emperor settles the ledger afterwards?
At this time, Emperor Changming suddenly said: "What are you panicking about, I am not in the court, isn't there still a great prince?" The eldest prince is my only son, so let the eldest prince take charge of the country for me in the coming days. ”
When these ministers heard this, they had a good idea, this big prince was already a sure quasi-prince in the hearts of these people, and in terms of identity and status, they were all fully qualified to supervise the country, so they didn't speak.
When Feng Shencai heard this, he hurriedly knelt down: "Father, no, it's not that the ministers want to deliberately resign, it's just that I don't understand these national affairs at all, how can you let me come to supervise the country, wouldn't it be a mistake?" Please also take back your fate. ”
Emperor Changming also knew that Feng Shencai had only learned medical skills since he was a child, and he didn't know anything about the emperor's mind at all, although since he got his son back, he also thought about passing the throne to him, but he still had selfish intentions in his heart after all, so he never taught him about court politics.
But this time the situation is special, and Emperor Changming can't really care about anything, so he will hand over the government to a Feng Shencai who doesn't know anything, or a whole month, and if it doesn't happen well, there will be a big mess, what should I do? Emperor Changming glanced around and saw Xiang Taifu.
This Xiang Taifu has always been honest and upright, and he will never do anything cheating and tricking, and it should be no problem for his assistant Feng Shencai to pass this month, so Emperor Changming said: "That's it, you say you won't, then I'll find someone to teach you?" "This ......" Feng Shencai was speechless.
"Taifu Xiang, in the next month, you will assist the eldest prince in handling the government affairs, remember, teach well." Emperor Changming looked at Xiang Taifu.
Xiang Taifu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Weichen obeys the order." Wechen must do his best to assist the eldest prince. Emperor Changming said to Feng Shencai: "Teacher, I have also found it for you, can you take over my will with peace of mind and supervise the country for me?" Feng Shencai clenched his fists with both hands: "The son obeys the order." ”
When these ministers left together, many people whispered together: "The emperor let the eldest prince supervise the country, does he also want to make him the crown prince?" "I think it's eighty percent, you see, didn't Your Majesty also send a Taifu to assist." "This Lord Xiang is hugging the thigh of the future prince again." "yes, we can't envy it."
So from the next day, Feng Shencai officially appeared in the early dynasty as the eldest prince, he placed a stool under the dragon chair of Emperor Changming to sit, and did not try to sit on the dragon chair in advance, Emperor Changming was very satisfied when he heard the report of his subordinates.
