Chapter 473: Filial piety pretended
And Zhao Lin immediately understood after receiving Yin Zhigede's reply, and immediately went to the emperor's excuse that he would lead the troops to practice for a while.
He also said that he would have a better chance of winning against Nishikawa in this way.
The emperor did not doubt him, and with a wave of his hand, he agreed to Zhao Qi's request, and at the same time told Zhao Qi that he would often go to see the results of the exercises.
Zhao Qi said yes repeatedly, and then soaked in the barracks all day long.
In fact, Zhao Qi was extremely unhappy to take over this job.
Not to mention that his personal relationship with Yin Zhige is already good, just starting a war is an unnecessary move.
Today's Tianqi and Xichuan are evenly matched, and if one side forcibly attacks, it will inevitably cause heavy damage to both countries.
But now his father is still in power, so he naturally has to listen to what his father says.
But his father's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and he said a big disrespectful word.
As long as it is delayed until the time of his father's funeral, then this battle will not have to be fought.
Adhering to this idea, Zhao Qi began the training process of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.
He specially found someone to keep an eye on, and if his father came to inspect it, then let all the soldiers under him pretend to practice.
One by one, they worked hard as if they could immediately go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the next second.
In normal times, he would lead his soldiers to fight crickets, wrestle, and compete in martial arts from time to time.
Anyway, it's about being as idle as you are.
Of course, all this is done quietly.
Although the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, it is still more than enough to deal with a prince who is both yang and yin.
So Zhao Qi must hide this matter tightly.
On the other end, Zhao Yiteng has been staying in his house to recuperate, but he is thinking about it.
I have always wondered if the emperor wanted to pass the throne to Zhao Qi, but I didn't notice Zhao Qi's moves.
It is not in vain that he has walked around with people over the years, at least now, he has several eyes and ears by the emperor's side.
One of the eyes and ears had just heard the news that the emperor had placed the edict that had been written in a brocade box.
As for where this brocade box was hidden by the emperor, this ear and eye have not yet been investigated.
Zhao Yiteng, who got the news, immediately got up from the bed.
As long as he gets this edict, no matter whose name is written on it, he can make it his own name!
Then the most important thing at the moment is to find this edict.
However, he was not so stupid, and as soon as he got the news, he hurried into the palace to find it.
Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver?
Therefore, he instructed the many eyes and ears in the palace to find this brocade box.
Whoever finds it will be rewarded.
However, even if he was rewarded, Zhao Yiteng's eyes and ears in the palace still failed to find out where the brocade box was.
They are nothing more than some chamberlains or guards, and they can be sneaked around in ordinary places.
But there are important places that they can't get in at all.
For example, the Imperial Study.
Another example is the emperor's bedroom.
Neither place is accessible at will.
If you want to enter, unless you are summoned by the emperor, if not, it is a mosquito, and you don't want to fly in.
And Zhao Yiteng's eyes and ears are now left with these two places that have not been searched.
When the news was passed back to Zhao Yiteng, Zhao Yiteng couldn't sit still.
Seeing that the emperor's body was getting weaker and weaker, the time to be awake was getting less and less.
The sooner he gets this edict, he can feel at ease as soon as possible.
After all, no one could have predicted when the emperor would suddenly die.
Then the edict will really become the final and decisive thing.
Therefore, if he does not hold this edict tightly in his own hands, Zhao Yiteng will never let go of his heart.
After a few days of silence, he finally couldn't hold back anymore and entered the palace in the name of wanting to see the emperor.
However, he would not be so brainless that he could not wait to start looking for the edict as soon as he entered.
Instead, he sat respectfully in front of the emperor's bed and chatted with him, and when it was time to drink the medicine, he also fed the emperor medicine with his own hands.
Everything was done to perfection.
Pretending to be filial piety is also filial piety, isn't it?
Compared with his second brother, who can only dance knives and sticks in the barracks, he has taken the lead!
"Third child, you have a heart!"
The emperor's hoarse voice was a little relieved, and his dry hand like old bark was reluctantly raised and patted Zhao Yiteng's hand.
It's just that whether this relief is true or not, only he can know.
"Father, this is the son's business!" Zhao Yiteng hurriedly responded.
Emperor Tianqi tugged at the corners of his mouth with great difficulty, nodded his head, and fell asleep under the effect of the medicine.
Zhao Yiteng watched Emperor Tianqi gradually fall asleep, and after his breathing became weak and smooth, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of triumphant smile.
"Father? Father? ”
After shouting twice, there was no response from Emperor Tianqi.
Zhao Yiteng got up lightly and began to search for the edict that could determine the fate of the emperor in the palace of Emperor Tianqi.
According to Zhao Yiteng's own conjecture, since the edict was written by the emperor during his illness.
Then the biggest possibility is that he was hidden in the dormitory.
It is even less likely to be hidden in the Imperial Study.
The emperor's dormitory will naturally not be so small.
So it took a lot of effort for Zhao Yiteng to find it.
Instead, he had to be careful not to make too much noise to wake up the emperor.
This doubled the difficulty of his search.
However, when Zhao Yiteng found that he was sweating profusely, the entire dormitory had only searched a third of the place, and there was still no result!
This made Zhao Yiteng very annoyed!
But he had been in the emperor's chambers for a long time.
If you stay any longer, you'll definitely be suspicious!
So, he had to put away his anger and quit the dormitory.
Before leaving, he looked back at the dormitory, and there was a hint of certainty in his eyes.
It doesn't matter, since he can't find it once, then he just comes a few more times!
In short, until he finds that edict, his good father, the emperor, must not die!
Even if the entire Tai Hospital is buried with him, his life must be hanged!
Zhao Yiteng sneered, and said to Xiao Dezi at the door, "This prince will leave first, you take good care of your father, if there is anything missing, ......"
Although the words were not explained, Xiao Dezi still understood, immediately pinched his sweat, and hurriedly responded, "Yes, I will not let the prince bother!" ”
