The hall fell into a dead silence, Li Cheng squinted his eyes slightly, obviously the successive blows made his whole body exhausted.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to say much, for fear that one would accidentally anger the emperor, especially the courtiers under the command of the prime minister, and they hung their heads one by one, or sat quietly to watch the play, or fiddled with the cups on the table, and occasionally ate a bite of food, calming the turbulent emotions in their hearts.

The concubines of the harem looked at each other, originally thinking that the emperor's birthday banquet could be celebrated as lively as in previous years, and finally dispersed happily, which was also a good thing.

No one would have thought that Jing Guiren would die at the banquet, and the little prince and Princess Qing'er would be handed over to Concubine Jin to raise, so that the harem would be changed.

What makes them even more worried is: the emperor's body! According to Imperial Physician Zhao and the conclusive evidence just now, it is very likely that the emperor is terminally ill and may die violently at any time, so their group of concubines who have no children and no daughters will face unprecedented fear, is it to accompany the emperor to the funeral? Or go to the royal temple for a vigil? Where do they go from here?

After three rounds of drinking, Gao Li led the mighty guards and palace people back.

Lund's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he knew that what he was going to face next was a disaster beyond his control!

Li Cheng opened his tired eyes, sat up straight, glanced at Lund in disgust, and his cold voice was mixed with a bit of anger: "What have you found?" Can the illusory prescription in the mouth of the imperial physician be true? ”

Gao Li handed a yellowed envelope in his hand to Li Cheng, and replied grovelly: "Your Majesty, this is the recipe hidden under the mural behind the study of the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, it is indeed the handwriting of the Prime Minister, and this rice paper is also the best product you gave him, and ordinary people can't afford it." ”

"How can this be true? Imperial Doctor Zhao! Let's see, what's wrong with this recipe? Li Cheng threw the prescription to the ground.

Imperial Physician Zhao walked over and squatted down to pick it up, carefully considered it, frowned again and again, and sighed: "Your Majesty! As Imperial Physician Wang said, Weichen's judgment was not wrong at all. About two years ago, you were infused with extremely small amounts of Unillusion Powder in your daily tonic decoction.

No one can notice it, not even the silver needle can be tried, the emperor takes it every day, day after day, and finally hurts the inside of the body.

Now that the emperor has been poisoned by the illusory powder, like a virtual shell, no tonic can return to the sky. Weichen can only configure some Chinese herbs to relieve symptoms, so that the emperor's pain before his death can be reduced. ”

"Presumptuous! Lund! So far, what else do you have to say! Li Cheng jumped like thunder, he stood up suddenly, roaring like a lion in anger, his body trembled slightly, and the queen hurriedly grabbed his arm.

Lund raised his head, his sunken eyes were a little hollow, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a voice came out from the depths of his throat, word by word: "Your Majesty!" Old minister to you! Make great contributions to Jiangshan Sheji!

Lao Chen is not afraid of death, but hopes that the honor and wealth of his descendants will continue, and the future generations will prosper! Everything the old minister has done is for the children and grandchildren of our Prime Minister's Mansion! ”

Li Cheng's hands swept over the table, smashing all the delicacies to the ground, and his whole person almost fell into madness.

He was not only angry about what the prime minister had done, he regretted that he was close to death, and he thought that he could still sit on the throne for decades, but now he is about to turn into ashes and come to naught.

Gao Li took out another set of maps, presented them to Li Cheng, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, this is another piece of evidence found in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In this map, the secret passage of the Prime Minister's Mansion is clearly drawn, and the servants led the guards to the secret passage through this searched map.

It turned out that there were countless treasures and gold taels hidden in the mansion, which was an eye-opener for the minions. Not to mention one generation, even the three generations of the Prime Minister's Mansion can't be spent! ”

"What?" Li Cheng was taken aback, he clutched the map into a ball, threw it at Lund's feet, and scolded angrily, "How much property have you embezzled?!" Keep saying that it is for the descendants of the Prime Minister's Mansion! How much is hidden from me! ”

Lund looked up to the sky and roared, without the slightest remorse, and there was no fear or fear between his eyebrows, but he laughed twice stupidly: "Haha! I asked myself to be ashamed!

In this world, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves! The regent is loyal to the emperor! And how? In the end, it was not a tragic death! The emperor was afraid that he would be a master, so he crossed the river and demolished the bridge! Order the old minister to get rid of him!

Such an emperor! Why do you ask the old minister to be sincere to you! For the sake of the future generations of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what is wrong with the old minister accumulating some more savings?

If you don't die early, how will the little prince ascend the throne as king! The old minister can't wait any longer, the old minister is afraid that one day he won't be able to wait for the little prince to succeed to the throne, and the old minister will be unfortunate and die! So out of desperation, there was no way to attack the emperor!

Everything this has done is for the sake of the old minister's heirs, and the old minister will never regret it! Money often unmakes the men who make it! The old minister is ambitious, full of enthusiasm, and is willing to do whatever it takes for the glory and wealth of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if he gives up his allegiance to the emperor, he must fulfill his heart's wish! ”

"Crazy! Lose your marbles! You're just crazy! A bunch of gibberish! ”

Li Cheng excitedly trotted up the imperial steps, rushed to Lund's side, pointed at his face and scolded: "Crazy! I have all my trust in you! Didn't expect you to be a complete lunatic! ”

Lund stood up straight, looking broken, but resigned to his fate, with thick eyebrows and big eyes full of despair.

His voice was loud and resounded in the sky above the Jinluan Palace, and he said, "Your Majesty! Things have fallen! If you want to kill or chop, the old minister will never complain! I only ask the emperor to forgive the wife and children of the imperial doctor, and at the same time, he can pardon the family members of the old ministers.

All this can be done seamlessly, naturally no one knows, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion is innocent, the emperor is benevolent, forgive them once, let them return to their hometowns, and start a new life. ”

Li Cheng looked at Lund's posture of treating death as home, and he was simply annoyed and resentful.

He waved his dragon robe, put his hands behind his back, stared at the high dragon chair with eagle-like eyes, and ordered righteously: "Spread my holy decree!"

Prime Minister Lund, Wang Taiyi, and the two murdered the saint, deceived the king, and intended to rebel. I sentenced the two of them to split their bodies into five horses, and they were executed at noon tomorrow, and they were first put into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, waiting for the time of tomorrow when the hour came, and they would do it in front of the gate of the imperial city!

The Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, raid the house! All things were included in the palace, and all the cronies of the nine clans were demoted to concubines and were not qualified for any rank.

I am the Son of Heaven, and I forgive their lives and let them be ordinary people, but for the sake of the two of you, you have made countless contributions for the world, which is my last mercy and last favor. ”

Doctor Wang kowtowed again and again, he clearly knew that he was certain to die, as long as he could save his family, wife and children, no matter how many times he sacrificed his life, he would not hesitate to do it!

"Thank you, Your Majesty! In the next life, to be a cow and a horse, Weichen must be grateful to the emperor for his kindness! ”

Lund pulled out a bitter smile, and his heavy body fell on the chair, old tears were in his eyes, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Is it over? Is it really over like this!? He has been working hard for many years, but he can't escape the calculations of others!

Gao Li pulled the sharp male duck's throat and said, "Don't hurry up and thank you!" Could it be that the Prime Minister, oh no, should call you Lund! Could it be that Lund is planning to provoke the emperor, and he has to kill your Prime Minister's Mansion to the ground, so that he knows gratitude? ”

Lund was forced to kneel in front of Li Cheng in despair, and kowtowed very reluctantly: "Old minister, thank the emperor for forgiving the kindness of the nine clans." ”

Immediately afterwards, Lund's voice was a little choked, and he hesitated: "The old minister is going to be one step ahead of the emperor, and when he gets below, the old minister is waiting for the emperor, and the old minister will be your courtier in the next life, relieve your worries and share the burden of the country!" ”

Li Cheng's eyes turned red instantly, he turned his head, forcibly held back the turbulent emotions in his heart, and held back the tears rolling out, he is the Son of Heaven, he will not be disloyal a hundred times, he will never allow Lund's mistake to happen again!

Li Cheng took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice: "Someone! Put Lund and Imperial Doctor Wang in the prison of the Criminal Department! Tomorrow's execution! ”

Several guards hurriedly stepped forward, stood up the two men who were kneeling on the ground, and walked towards the outside of the hall with a menacing attitude.

Manwen, who has been sitting in the harem seat, watched her father's whole person fall from a high position to the bottom all of a sudden, and even his life was in vain!

Her tears couldn't stop flowing, wantonly washing away the grievances in her heart. In this way, why did she marry the little prince? Having lost her father, how could she be invincible?

Isn't her situation the same as that of the daughter of Tobe Shangshu Songze, who has become helpless, and can only walk on thin ice, like a walking corpse, and live for a breath!

Li Cheng continued to order: "Gao Li, you immediately take the guards to raid the house, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, copy them cleanly, and take back the treasures and gold and silver in the secret passage and keep them for the use of the imperial court." ”

Gao Li said briskly: "Yes, the slave will do it!" ”

Li Cheng slowly took heavy steps, and with the support of the palace people, he walked to the top of the imperial stairs step by step, and his heavy body sat firmly in the middle of the dragon couch, coughing violently twice.

The queen gave him a few sips of water, and Li Cheng felt much better.

Li Junqi and Imperial Physician Zhao took their seats one after another, as if what had just happened was an accident and had not happened.

Everyone in the harem did not dare to speak first, for fear that one would be careless and lose his head again.

Even Lund and Imperial Physician Wang are traitors, who knows who is sincere to everyone here? Who is hypocritical? Who's right and who's wrong, right and who's wrong, sometimes it's really unpredictable.

The queen first broke the awkward silence, she smiled, her temperament was dignified and noble, and her voice was as beautiful as a trickle of water: "Listen, no one is allowed to talk about the emperor in private, nor can they argue which prince is more suitable to be the crown prince."

The result of everything, the emperor has his own plans, no matter what, the prime minister and the imperial doctor must be angry, so that the truth can be revealed. ”

"Yes, the ministers obey!" Everyone really couldn't find any other way than to echo the voice.

Mingyue sensed the queen's good intentions, so she took the initiative to answer: "Father! My daughter specially drew a picture of 100 years of life for you to congratulate you on your birthday party! Come! Bring it up. ”

After that, several maidservants handed over the folded scroll, opened the scroll, and the beast was painted lifelike, with fine workmanship, which was really a first-class product.

Li Cheng also carefully examined the scroll, it was indeed very valuable, and he couldn't find the slightest mistake, and the scene in the painting was beautiful.

"Reward! It's really my moon princess, who knows my mind best! In this way, when the gold, silver and jewelry of the Prime Minister's Mansion are handed over, you can pick and take away some things you like! ”

Mingyue was charming and delicate: "My daughter has written about her father!" It's just that my daughter has a little reluctant request......"

Li Cheng's mood had just eased a little, and he was kind like an old father: his voice was also lowered a lot: "But it's okay to say it!" ”

Mingyue bit her lip gently, pretending to be shy and embarrassed, and said, "Father, the little prince has now lost his mother and can only be raised by Concubine Jin."

And he is still young, he has no ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and he is willful and rude, I believe that the emperor knows it.

But no matter what, he is the younger brother of his daughter, and he will go to the border to become the new king in the future, and he has the heavy responsibility of benefiting the people on his shoulders!

Therefore, the daughter was brave and begged the emperor to grant permission for her daughter and Concubine Jin to take care of the little prince and princess together. Concubine Jin is responsible for eating and living, and asks for warmth. The daughter is responsible for guiding him on the right path, teaching others about the world, royal rules, and court etiquette.

The most important thing is to be a courtier, what to do and what not to do! To be a courtier, first of all, is a brave and loyal heart, respect for the emperor and determination not to be encroached upon. ”

The last words ushered in the side eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, and everyone could hear the implication of Princess Yue's words, the little prince can only be a courtier, obey his brother's orders, and must not become an emperor.

Princess Moon is planning to brainwash him and correct his thoughts since he was a child.

Concubine Jin is naturally a hundred and a thousand reluctant, she supports the little prince, naturally hopes that he can inherit Wang Wei, and in the future, Concubine Jin will be the justifiable queen mother, so she will raise her eyebrows and exhale once!

It's a pity that no matter what she thinks, she can't say anything in front of her, and one more word may anger the emperor and cause unnecessary trouble.

Li Cheng thought about it, carefully pondered the sound of Mingyue's words, and thought: "Well, since Mingyue doesn't dislike your younger brother for being stupid, and is willing to patiently guide him on the right path, I will allow you and Concubine Jin to take care of the little prince and Princess Qing'er together." ”

Mingyue laughed and trembled, and Yingying Yanyan responded: "Daughter, thank you father!" Please rest assured that her daughter will treat her younger siblings well and let them become useful talents for the country. ”

"Okay, you can step back first!" Li Cheng felt more and more weak, and his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open them.

Imperial Physician Zhao noticed Li Cheng's strange appearance and proposed, "Your Majesty, most of the birthday banquet has passed, why don't you go back and rest earlier?" ”
