Chapter 159. Prison State
After that, I stayed awake and didn't know anything except being fed medicine and vomiting medicine.
I thought that my little life was going to be explained like this, but gradually the symptoms of vomiting were reduced, and I was even able to eat a little clear porridge, and my spirit recovered little by little.
When I regained my strength and got up, I realized that I was almost in Shengjing City.
Just like Ling Niankong said, Liuyun rushed to Tingyang with the imperial doctor non-stop.
I was seriously ill, and I shouldn't have been tired for a long time, but the death of the emperor was not trivial. If the matter spreads, it will endanger the community, so Liuyun can only ask the imperial doctor to treat me while hurrying.
"It's snowing all the way, so much snow......"
This was the first thing Liuyun said to me after waking up from my illness.
It's a lot of snow, and it's so cold......
Liuyun never mentioned Ah Ran's matter to me, let alone Ling Niankong. The conversations with me are always related to my health, and they come to tell me every day that we will be able to get to Shengjing in a few days.
The day I really came back to life was the day I returned to the palace.
I climbed the jade steps of the Wende Hall alone, stood beside the dragon seat, looked down at the empty hall, and silently recited in my heart:
"Brother, I'm back. Feng Li, just leave it to me for the time being.
This time, Xuan'er won't embarrass you! ”
Originally, when we returned to Shengjing, the snow stopped. But when I ordered someone to announce Ah Ran's death, the snow fell again.
Not only Shengjing, but also within a hundred miles on both sides of the Jinshui River, it is snowing. The snow is so big that it's like a hole has been poked out of it that day, endlessly.
Heavy snowfall fell for six days in a row, and I was afraid that such a large area of heavy snowfall would cause a snow disaster, so I paid close attention to the situation in the snowfall area and strictly ordered local officials to remove the snow in time and report any changes immediately.
Thankfully, on the seventh day, the sky suddenly cleared, and no place was affected.
I ordered people to search carefully in the Wende Palace, and finally the palace people found two copies of the will left by Ah Ran under the dragon chair.
In the end, I did not choose to ascend to the throne, but decided to take charge of the country.
The first thing he did when he took over the post of superintendent was to take care of Ah Ran's burial.
Yan Chexiao, the word burns, the one hundred and seventy-fifth emperor of Feng Liguo. Born in the 36th year of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, he was the third son of Emperor Qide. When he was young, he ascended the throne at the age of ten and became a pro-government at the age of sixteen.
During his reign, he abolished the phase system, set up three provinces, changed the imperial examination, cut the vassal king, and restored the territory.
Collapsed in Jingtian for eight years, at the age of twenty-five, nicknamed, Mingde Shengxiao Huirui Emperor, known as Rui Emperor, buried in Rongling.
Ah Ran's twenty-five years of life was just a few strokes by the historian, and the coffin was concluded......
Emperor Rui collapsed, and Qiqi, who had just turned four, succeeded to the throne. In accordance with the edict of the first emperor, I temporarily took charge of the post of supervising the country and listened to the government with the court.
Ah Ran's funeral and Qiqi's enthronement ceremony, such a busy time actually lasted nearly half a year.
The identity of my chosen son was revealed on the day when Ling Niankong united with the Wumeng Palace, so the court and the central government did not have the slightest objection to my temporary imprisonment.
There were even ministers who vaguely persuaded me to replace Qiqi to ascend to the Great Treasure, but I only responded with a cool look, and there was no similar voice after that.
In the past six months, the court has been quite stable. It was only when I really stood in this position that I knew what kind of responsibility it was to govern the world.
In this position, many times we have to ignore right and wrong and emphasize utilitarianism.
For a courtier, the judgment is no longer just about the words "loyalty" and "treachery", but more about the whole game of chess.
If a person plays a pivotal role in the game, even if he accepts bribes and suppresses dissidents, as long as he does not touch the bottom line, he can only turn a blind eye for the time being.
Then we realized that the duty of a king is actually to make mistakes:
It is wrong to inact and allow corrupt officials to run rampant;
It is also wrong to disturb the balance of the court.
The difference is only in the size of the mistake.
Therefore, whoever does the supreme position is destined to be laborious.
Now the core positions in Fengli Dynasty are mainly held by the old people who left the court in the north before.
It has been six years since the establishment of the system of three provinces and six ministries. Originally, he came up with this idea to reduce Ah Ran's burden, but the development of this system to this day has shown the trend of overthrowing imperial power.
In order to prevent this from escalating, I set up a cabinet modeled on the history of another world, and elected five scholars of the Hallym Academy to join the government, hoping to strengthen the power of the monarchy through this move.
In addition, the more drastic personnel transfers in the DPRK and China are only the two brothers of the Feng family.
Ah Ran has always valued his younger brother Liuyun, and he is indeed up to the task, so after consulting Liuyun's opinion, I ordered him to step down from his position as a security guard in the palace, transfer him to Shangshu Province, and gradually promote him in the future.
As for Feng Zhuyu, I removed him from the post of commander of the forbidden army, and demoted him to his home for self-reflection, waiting to be sent down for the time being.
I will be like this, just because Ah Ran was injured by the Qinglu Sword in the first place, and the wind and rain knew from beginning to end.
He knew the way to detoxify, but he didn't say a word.
Of course, I knew that this was Ah Ran's order, but I still couldn't forgive it.
Before leaving the palace, Feng Zhuyu told me everything he knew about Ah Ran's injury.
He said that when he found out that Ah Ran was sick, it was on the second day after Xiao Jifeng drugged everyone and took me, Ah Ran, and Ling Niankong to the wooden house in the north of Lingxiu Mountain.
Wind and rain said that after I was taken away from the wooden house by the flowing clouds, the two sides had a fight. At that time, the scene was chaotic, and he and the forbidden army were inseparable outside the house, and there were only two people in the house, Ah Ran and Ling Niankong, who were obviously fighting. The wound of the sword should have been inflicted at that time.
Knowing that Ah Ran was injured by the Qing Nightmare Sword, Feng Zhuyu was the only one, and Ah Ran strictly ordered him not to leak it, and sent him many times to find other ways to detoxify.
Feng Zhuyu didn't persuade Ah Ran, and even asked to tie up Ling Niankong, but he was scolded by Ah Ran.
Feng Zhuyu couldn't do it, but fortunately, he found some prescriptions to temporarily suppress the toxicity, so that Ah Ran lasted for three full months.
Feng Zhuyu said that neither he nor Ah Ran knew that if the seven meridians and eight veins were not closed, they would have to detoxify within half a month.
Feng Zhuyu said with remorse in his eyes that if he knew, even if he resisted the decree, he would not say a word.
I looked at him and felt bad. So even though I dismissed him, I still ordered people to keep an eye on him at all times, fearing that he would do something stupid.
But I don't understand:
Why did Ah Ran hide this from me?
He doesn't want me to worry? Don't want me to go to Ling Niankong again because of this?
But even if he wanted to hide it from me, why didn't he allow the wind and rain to find Ling Niankong?
As long as you find him and ask him to detoxify himself, won't you be able to avoid everything that follows?
What is the reason why Ah Ran can put his life and death out of the way?
Before Ah Ran was buried, I specially asked Liuyun to examine his injuries.
Liuyun said that Ah Ran only had a wound on his chest.
Liuyun had been by Ling Niankong's side for seven years, and he could recognize the injuries caused by the scattered souls at a glance.
He said that judging from the shape of Ah Ran's wounds, there is no doubt that the murder weapon that caused the injury was Ling Niankong's Scattered Soul, unless there was a Blue Nightmare Sword in this world that was the same as the Scattered Soul.
However, not to mention that the Blue Nightmare Stone is extremely difficult to forge into a weapon, even if it is an ordinary iron sword, it is impossible to have a second sword in this world with the same edge and thickness, let alone the extremely rare Blue Nightmare Sword.
After listening to Liuyun's words, I became more determined about my original plan. "Ling Niankong still has no whereabouts?"
"Nope."
"Find! Find it and catch it for me, live or die! ”
It's the first time I've hated someone so much.
"Yes!"
I adjusted my tone and asked again, "What about Xiao Jifeng?" Nor is it missing? ”
"Still looking." Liuyun lifted up his face with shame.
Xiao Jifeng has not been seen since the last time he appeared.
At that time, Ah Ran listened to his account of the night in Luomapo, and immediately ordered to hunt down Xiao Jifeng, but there was no result.
I sighed helplessly.
"I can't blame you, Xiao Jifeng is proficient in the art of disguise, and it is already difficult to find.
Don't blame yourself too much, just ask others to do their best to find it.
Du Gan is in charge of the security in the palace, so you don't have to worry too much. ”
Du Gan is a new internal guard recruited into the palace by Ah Ran after the restoration ceremony.
This person is highly martial, cautious, and upright. Soon he was favored by Feng Zhuyu and transferred to the forbidden army with the consent of Ah Ran.
After becoming a forbidden army, this person's performance is also good, even I, a lazy man who didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the palace before, have heard of him.
After the removal of the wind and rain, I handed over the commander of the forbidden army to Du Gan, and his performance has always been quite satisfactory to me.
