Chapter 188: The National Letter is in Danger
Emperor Cheng's eyes were full of redness, and he gently put Xue Yi on the bed beside him: "Imperial Doctor Qin, hurry, let's see how Concubine Xue is?" “
Imperial Physician Qin hurriedly stood up, half-knelt in front of the bed, put the handkerchief on Xue Yi's inch-close ruler, and opened her left eyelid again after a while, Emperor Cheng was anxious, looked at Imperial Physician Qin and urged: "Imperial Doctor, what happened to Concubine Xue?" Is there any danger to the fetus in the womb? ”
Imperial Physician Qin kowtowed to Emperor Cheng in fear: "Niangniang's body is too weak, she has been overly sad in recent days, and she is overworked, so Shu Weichen can only do his best." ”
Emperor Cai Cheng was furious, grabbed Imperial Physician Qin's neck, stared at him with bloodshot eyes, and said fiercely: "What do you mean by doing your best?!" If Concubine Xue has a good one, I will raze the Tai Hospital and behead you and the others to show the public! ”
Imperial Physician Qin was helpless, kowtowed, and said: "Weichen obeys the order, Weichen obeys the order." ”
Imperial Physician Qin summoned the other three imperial doctors, the other three were Xue Yi decoction, and Imperial Physician Qin took out an acupuncture bag for Xue Yi's acupuncture, and the slender and long silver needles were twisted into Xue Yi's acupuncture points, and after a while, Xue Yi woke up slowly, and Emperor Cheng's anxious handsome face shook in front of her eyes, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine's child ........"
Xue Yi's hand covered her lower abdomen, and the pain in her lower abdomen made her think that she had lost her child.
"Cher, you're awake! The child is very good, the child is fine, you can rest assured. Emperor Cheng sat on the side of the bed and held Xue Yi's little hand with his big hand, and he burst into tears.
Xue Yi heard Emperor Cheng say that the child was very good, and when she saw his tears again, she couldn't help but be moved, and her jade hand fell on Emperor Cheng's face: "Your Majesty ......."
Holding hands and looking at each other, silence is better than sound at this time.
When Liu Nong and the others returned to the palace, Xue Yi had already drunk the fetal pills, and Emperor Cheng personally escorted Xue Yi back to her Chenhui Courtyard, and did not leave until she slept peacefully.
Xue Yi begged for rain for the people, and the people regarded the snow concubine as a celestial person, and for a time various rumors spread all over the country of Invite Yue, some said that Xue Yi was the reincarnation of a fairy, and some people said that Xue Yi was the daughter of the Dragon King, the princess of the Dragon Palace, specially to assist the emperor to prosper and invite the Moon Kingdom, and even more, someone actually set up a shrine for Xue Yi, always worshipped, and the incense was excellent.
When Emperor Cheng heard the rumors, he laughed.
But I don't want this matter to become the queen mother's heart disease, and it has also become Xueyi's disaster!
In Shoukang Palace, Concubine Xiu painted the scene when the snow begged for rain, deliberately exaggerated, and said that when the heavy rain came, it was even more frothing and vinegar splattering: "After the Snow Concubine fainted, a monster with the body of a dragon-headed fox appeared in the clear sky, and it was the monster that spewed out a heavy rain from its mouth. ”
The Queen Mother smiled in disbelief, shook her head and said, "Concubine Xiu is too exaggerated, didn't the people in the palace say that Concubine Xue fainted because of the torrential rain?" So many people in the city have seen it, why are you the only one who says that there is a monster rain when the snow concubine faints? ”
Concubine Xiu raised her hand and swore and said: "If the queen mother doesn't believe the concubine's words, the concubine can swear, and you can also call witnesses. ”
"Oh? And such a thing? The mourning family wants to hear what she has to say, and one day you will recruit her into the palace to tell the mourning family about the scene of Concubine Xue begging for rain. "The Queen Mother is a person who eats fasting and believes in Buddhism, and she has always believed in the theory of ghosts and gods.
Concubine Xiu hurriedly bent her knees and replied: "Obey the Empress Dowager's decree, but no matter what, it is Concubine Xue who prays for rain, those foolish people are convinced, and the emperor also feels sorry for Concubine Xue, and Concubine Xue is like a god, so let's wait a few days and then recruit the house slaves of the concubines into the palace." ”
The Queen Mother nodded: "It's okay." ”
Concubine Xiu chatted with the Queen Mother for a while, and when she saw that the Queen Mother was sleepy, she hurriedly got up and retired.
After Concubine Xiu left, the Queen Mother ordered Mama Qin to visit Concubine Xue on her behalf, and the palace seemed to be peaceful, but there was a sudden turmoil in the court.
The envoy of the Lanling Kingdom saw the Jindian Dynasty, and saw that Emperor Cheng did not kneel or worship, and Emperor Cheng asked her why she did not worship, and he presented a letter from the King of Lanling Kingdom to Emperor Cheng, saying: "The emperor thinks that the Heavenly Dynasty is to my Lanling Kingdom, and the ministers have heard that the Heavenly Dynasty is talented, and if anyone knows the content of this book, the ministers will bow down and bow to them." ”
Who knew that the letter presented by the envoy was actually written in the Lanling language, and there were no Chinese characters, in the past, the Lanling State was written in two languages, and today it is written in a language of the Lanling Kingdom, which can be seen to be intended to provoke, Emperor Cheng asked the civil and military masters of the Manchu Dynasty, but no one knew the Lanling language, the messenger became more and more arrogant, no one in his eyes, and snorted coldly: "Lanling is a big country in the Heavenly Empire, and no one knows my Lanling language?" It can be seen that it is a waste of fame. ”
Gong Yi came out of the class and said: "Lanling Kingdom is disrespectful to me to invite the Yue Kingdom to write in his own words, and I hope that the emperor will kill the envoys to set an example." “
Lin Zhizhi and others went out of class to kneel and play the words of vassal Gongyi.
Seeing this, the envoy raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, the two countries have not yet beheaded the envoys, but today you want your king to kill me in the Golden Palace of the Moon Kingdom, don't you want to trap your king in an unrighteous land?!" “
Li Qin knelt down and played: "Enlighten my lord, why don't you leave the envoy to rest in the post house, and then discuss the letter in three days." “
Emperor Cheng knew that he could only deal with it like this, and nodded: "Zhun Song, I will definitely read your national book to you in three days, and then I will ask you to see if Yingyue is a great country in the Celestial Empire!" “
The envoy was arrogant, and clasped his hands into fists: "Okay! It will be for a period of three days, and after three days, if someone in the country of Yue can read the national letter, my Lanling country is still a minister, and the year is full of tribute, if three days later, no one in the Heavenly Empire can know my Lanling national book, what does the emperor say? “
Emperor Cheng saw that the envoy was rude, and his anger surged upward, and he suddenly stood up and snorted coldly: "If I invite no one in the Yue Kingdom to know this national letter three days later, I will be exempted from the old gift of paying tribute to the Lanling Kingdom!" “
The envoy laughed loudly, suddenly stopped laughing, bent down slightly, and stared at Emperor Cheng with provocative eyes: "The emperor is too stingy, if no one in the Yue Kingdom knows our national letter after three days, how about asking the emperor to cede the sixteen states of the border to me Lanling Kingdom?" “
"The bold envoy is simply too deceitful!"
"Please decree the emperor to kill this evil minister!"
"Please decree the emperor to kill him!"
Before the voice of the envoy of Lanling Kingdom fell, there was a commotion above the Golden Palace, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation, blaming the envoy one after another, and asking the emperor to order him to be killed.
The envoy raised his head proudly, looked around at the ministers in the Golden Palace with a little contempt in his eyes, and said contemptuously: "Since the ministers dare to come to the Invite Moon Country alone, they have already put their own bodies out of the way, if you want my head, you can take it away at any time, it depends on how your emperor answers our lord!" “
Emperor Cheng sat down slowly, stared at the envoys of Lanling Kingdom, and said word by word: "Listen, envoy of Lanling Kingdom, I will not kill you, so I will take it for three days, and after three days, if I invite no one in the Yue Kingdom to know your national letter, I will reward the sixteen states of Biansai to Lanling Kingdom as a dowry for the princess of Lanling Kingdom!" “
Emperor Cheng listened to the report, saying that the lord of the Lanling Kingdom wanted to marry his princess to the Leng Fengyue of the Wind Dance Country as the queen, Emperor Cheng knew that this was a political marriage, if the two countries were married, the Lanling Kingdom would invade the Inviting Moon Country again, even if the Wind Dance Country did not send troops to help, it would not help the Invite the Moon Country, it seems that the lord of the Lanling Kingdom knows the details of Emperor Cheng very well!
The envoy retreated, Emperor Cheng ordered Li Qin to post the list text, offering a reward to find a master who can understand the text of the Lanling Kingdom, the list was posted, and no one unveiled the list for two days, Emperor Cheng was like an ant on a hot pot, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.
The sixteen states are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they are also important military points to govern the Lanling State.
In the evening of the next day, Emperor Cheng summoned Li Qin Gongyi and others in the imperial study, and the ministers leaned down and knelt on the ground, helpless about the national book of Lanling, Emperor Cheng was furious, overturned the teacup of Songzhang to the ground, pointed at Gongyi and others and shouted: "Rice buckets, a bunch of rice buckets!" Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, what did I do with you rice buckets?! Go find me! If you can't find anyone who knows the national book of Lanling, you can all decide it yourself! “
Gong Yi and the others just kowtowed, banging loudly, Emperor Cheng was angry, and he knew that the three of them had tried their best, and they couldn't really kill them all, so they had to sit down and wave their hands impatiently: "That's it, you go down first." “
If the three ministers were amnesty, they withdrew from the imperial study in a gloomy manner, walked at the door to wipe the cold sweat on their sideburns and foreheads, exchanged a dejected look with each other, shook their heads and retreated without a word.
Just walked a few steps, and met Xue Yi walking slowly, and the three of them wanted to bow down, but Xue Yi hurriedly stopped: "The three adults are hard, and the palace is polite." “
The ministers bowed and returned the salute: "The ministers knock to see the mother Chitose Chitose." “
Xue Yi motioned for the three of them to be flat, and asked knowingly, "Can the emperor be in the imperial study?" "It turned out that the fifth prince was furious when he saw Emperor Cheng, and he was afraid that he would really kill the three old ministers, so he hurriedly went to Chenhui Courtyard to ask Xue Yi to help, and Xue Yi hurriedly came.
The three of them naturally didn't know, and their faces showed shame: "The ministers are incompetent, and they can't share their worries for the lord, and they are ashamed." “
After greeting each other, the three of them retreated, and Xue Yi walked to the imperial study and knocked lightly on the door of the imperial study.
"Get out!" Emperor Cheng roared, followed by a loud noise from inside.
Xue Yi couldn't care much, and hurriedly pushed the door in, facing a gust of wind, Xue Yi instinctively tilted her head, but felt that there was a whirring sound in her ears, and something passed by.
Emperor Cheng was about to get angry, and when he saw Xue Yihua standing at the door with a disgraced face, he exclaimed, "Why are you here?" But didn't you smash it? Why don't you speak?! “
Emperor Cheng asked again and again, and people hurriedly greeted Xue Yi and walked over, Xue Yi stared and smiled lightly: "The concubine has nothing to do, I don't know what the emperor is busy with, I offended the emperor, and I hope the emperor will forgive me." “
Xue Yi bent down to pick up the music on the ground, Emperor Cheng pulled her up, pressed her on the chair and sat down, and sighed: "Xue'er, sometimes I really want to put these troubles aside, leave the palace with you, and be an ordinary couple." “
