The emperor and all the ministers were waiting outside the Taishang Palace, and more than an hour had passed, but Feng Lingye had no news in the palace.

At the beginning, Xi Niancheng was not sure, but as time grew, he felt more and more that Feng Lingye must be in a catastrophe this time.

Everyone knows that patients need to be quiet, and Feng Lingye has the habit of being in the night, so even if he is the emperor, he doesn't go in to disturb him.

The emperor is not in a hurry, the minister is in a hurry.

Someone couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone in to have a look?" "Didn't this princess sneak away from the back door, right?

"Wait." The emperor frowned, although he didn't believe that the emperor's body could last long, but he believed that Feng Lingye's medical skills would definitely solve the emperor's current symptoms.

The hour passed little by little, and the queen mother and several concubines waited in the west, in a worried mood, as if they were ready to cry and mourn after the eunuchs announced.

Young.

There was a steady sound of footsteps in the house, and then, as soon as the door moved, Feng Lingye walked out, his forehead was slightly wet, his lips were slightly pale, and his face was tired, he looked at the people waiting outside the house, and saluted the emperor, his voice was calm and calm, "My emperor is benevolent, heaven's grace is vast, and the emperor has woken up." ”

When the emperor heard this, he put down the big stone in his heart, and immediately helped her up, with a smile on his face, "It's hard work, I will definitely reward you well in a while." ”

"Sharing worries for the emperor is all within one's own affairs." Feng Lingye smiled slightly and said politely.

Subsequently, under the leadership of the emperor, several important ministers and princes entered the main hall together.

Duan Yixuan looked at Feng Lingye beside him and glanced at her, really sweating for her.

She smiled faintly at him, signaling him to be relieved.

When I came to the innermost bedroom, I saw the Emperor Taishang sitting at the head of the bed, and when he saw so many people, he was not surprised, his face was much better, and he began to eat the hot porridge handed over by the palace maid.

The emperor sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries, and the ministers also expressed their joy.

The emperor's expression was faint, but it was better to be close to Feng Lingye, although he was old, he was not stupid, let Feng Lingye come over to heal his old bones, it must be the idea of this group of people, in order to use him to frame innocent people.

Xi Niancheng looked at his complexion, and was indignant in his heart, he didn't expect that this would not be able to bring down Feng Lingye, she was really fateful, so she said with a smile: "The Emperor Taishang can be healed, it all depends on the princess's skillful hands to rejuvenate, it is better for the princess to be the personal female doctor of the Emperor Taishang in the future, so that she can see a doctor for the Emperor Taishang at any time."

As soon as the Emperor Taishang heard this, he knew who the mastermind of this battle was, and then snorted coldly, and looked at Xi Niancheng with displeasure in his eyes, "Lord Shoufu is really sympathetic to me, not only worrying about the affairs of the government and the opposition, but even the imperial doctor around me has to interfere." ”

Xi Niancheng immediately felt that something was wrong, so he quickly knelt down and said tremblingly: "It's the old minister who has overstepped, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

The Emperor Taishang is now very old, and he doesn't like these tricks in the court, so he glanced at the emperor standing aside, "Knowing people and being good at their duties, such courtiers who are more than capable of acting on behalf of others, use them with caution." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Duan Junmo meaningfully.

Duan Junmo was expressionless and stood aside in a disciplined manner.

The emperor was embarrassed, and repeatedly said that the emperor had taught him.

After a few words, the Emperor Taishang began to drive people out, "You all go down, I want to be clean, and if I don't die in the future, I won't have so many people." ”

All the courtiers bowed their heads and said yes, and then followed the emperor and several other princes to retreat.

Although the superficial symptoms of the Emperor Taishang are all controlled by Feng Lingye's medicine, the actual situation is not optimistic, and he lives every day.

Feng Lingye had a good impression of this old man, and he got a gold medal for avoiding death for nothing, so after seeing the queen, he looked at his body every once in a while.

Emperor Taishang was open-minded and optimistic, and finally had a pleasing little granddaughter-in-law by his side, and the boring days were much more interesting, and after Feng Lingye carefully explained the seriousness of the pill, he no longer took the pill.

A few days after the incident, there was a sudden good news from the south, saying that there had been a heavy flood, and that the embankment that had been built was too old to withstand it and cracked, and the flood water rushed directly out of the river and flooded large fields and farmhouses.

Above the court, it fell into a haze for a while.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, overlooking the ministers, his eyes were heavy, "Zhong Aiqing, who do you think is more appropriate?" ”

Xi Niancheng was the first to make a recommendation, and he had words, "The second prince has both ability and political integrity, and the old minister recommends the second prince!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only the emperor, but even Duan Yixuan's face changed.

It stands to reason that going to disaster relief is a chore, but in essence, to appease the victims, it is also a good opportunity to win the hearts of the people, so as long as they are willing to compete for the throne of the emperor in the future, they want to fight for this opportunity.

Who doesn't know that Xi Niancheng was picked up by Duan Junmo, and now he actually gave such an opportunity to the second prince Duan Xun, what do these two mean?

Could it be that Duan Junmo planned to use Duan Xun as a shield, so let Xi Niancheng support him?

For a moment, everyone present was puzzled.

The emperor has not yet expressed his position, and then, another official stepped forward and recommended: "The old minister recommended the four princes, the four princes have made meritorious contributions to the strangulation of the remnants of the Xia Kingdom, and they have never slackened off in protecting Kyoto, and their ability is excellent, so it is very suitable for him to go to disaster relief this time."

"Since Master Jiang has said that the four princes want to protect Kyoto, how can they take a break to help the disaster? It's more appropriate for the second prince to go! Xi Niancheng retorted loudly.

Lord Jiang did not back down at all, and snorted coldly, "The second prince has no fault or merit, and his political achievements are mediocre in his life, and it is difficult to convince the public if he goes to relieve the disaster!" ”

Seeing that it was difficult for the two to distinguish the winner, the emperor gave up, and then asked, "Do you Aiqing still have recommended talents?"

Some officials glanced at each other, and then came out to recommend their own people, "The minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is more suitable, firstly, the prince is knowledgeable and talented, and he has also participated in the construction of the embankment, and secondly, the prince and Imperial Physician Li are relatively close, proficient in medical science, and can also treat the victims of the disaster when the time comes." ”

The emperor bowed his head slightly and agreed.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, someone immediately stood up, "The minister thinks that the Seven Princes are more suitable, he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he has seen all the scenes, and the affairs of the military department and the criminal department are handled properly, and the disaster relief matter can be dealt with more easily." ”

For a while, the ministers recommended it, and the situation began to be chaotic.

"Lao Chen thinks the four princes are more suitable!"

"The minister thinks the second prince is better!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can still do this!"

"Among the princes, who can surpass the Seven Princes in ability?!"

......

Looking at the ministers at the bottom of the scattered sand, the emperor frowned, looked at the unsatisfactory courtiers below, and quickly took the initiative into his own hands, "The river embankment is in disrepair, it is a matter of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry is reasonable, His Royal Highness the Prince has been following the Ministry of Industry for a long time, and there are many injured people, it is most suitable for him to go!" ”

The ministers still wanted to discuss, but the emperor didn't give him another chance, and said with a calm face: "I have made up my mind, retreat from the court!"

This great opportunity for meritorious service did not fall into the hands of Duan Junmo, and everyone was surprised.

didn't know that all of this was a big picture carefully arranged by him.

Since it was not Duan Junmo who went to relieve the disaster, the emperor would definitely send Duan Yixuan or Duan Rui, and Duan Junmo's target was one of them.

After the holy decree was issued, Duan Yixuan immediately packed his luggage and began to go to Dailiang County in the south.

On the day of parting, Feng Lingye just came out of the queen's bedroom, just in time to see him off, "This time to Dai Liang, in addition to disaster relief, you must pay attention to your own safety." ”

The emperor is far away, and if someone wants to frame him, it is much easier than in the capital.

"Are you concerned about me?" He asked with a smile, his smile was elegant and shallow, as warm as a spring breeze.

She smiled, "Naturally, I care about you, you are the most popular doctor in my Baishan Hall, if something happens to you, it will be a big loss for me." ”

"That's all?" He didn't seem to give up.

She glanced at him and said word by word, "That's all!"

He chuckled, then smiled slightly, with anticipation and helplessness in his fluttering phoenix eyes, "If I really can't come back, will you be sad?" ”

She also restrained the smile on her face and said solemnly, "Yes."

The smile on his face melted, he put his arms around her, hugged her tightly, and the emotion and joy in his heart were speechless.

After a long time, she sent him away, and then stood on the city tower, looking at his figure gradually drifting away, and kept asking herself in her mind: If he really died, would she be sad?

Although she said "yes", she never thought so in her heart, maybe when it really happened, the answer would be completely revealed.

After Duan Yixuan left, the seemingly calm court began to turmoil.

It didn't take long for the emperor to see the dissenting heart of Niancheng, and sure enough, it was not Duan Junmo who wanted to block the arrow, but Xi Niancheng changed and assisted the second prince and gave up Duan Junmo.

Since Xi Niancheng has become a single-handed, and the second prince Duan Xun is not a basis, then this person can naturally be abolished, and the position of the first assistant of the cabinet is a fat shortage, and if they put their own people, then their power will be stronger.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor recruited his confidants and secretly negotiated in the imperial study.

Duan Rui stood on the side and analyzed: "Now that Xi Niancheng has become the abandoned son of the seventh brother, we need to start first, and then immediately arrange our own manpower."

"What the four princes said is extremely true, Xi Nian has become a high and powerful position, and he is the left arm and right arm of the Seventh Prince, in recent years, he has been even more pampered and arrogant, and he has done all the bad things behind his back, and now without the maintenance of the Seven Princes, it is not difficult to find out his fault." The Ministry of Rites said.

The emperor bowed his head slightly and looked at Duan Rui, "You immediately go down to find evidence of the crimes that have been present in Nian Cheng all these years." ”

Duan Rui nodded in response, and the secret meeting was immediately dissolved.

Unexpectedly, after Duan Rui had just gathered the evidence for the impeachment of Xi Niancheng, the next day, a bad news suddenly came - Xi Niancheng had an accident!

The backyard of Xifu.

Aunt Zhao woke up in the morning, and suddenly saw Xi Niancheng lying beside her motionless, cold, with a black face and purple lips, so she stretched out her finger to probe, but it was silent.

She let out a scream of fear.

The screams attracted a group of government soldiers, and everyone came to take a look, immediately blocked the house, and notified Mrs. Xi.

When Mrs. Xi heard the news and rushed over, what she saw was a corpse that had already stiffened!

She let out a terrible wail, lying on the ground crying and grabbing the ground, her liver and intestines were broken, the pillars of the Xi Mansion fell, the concubine was small, the second prince Duan Xun was powerless, and the Xi Mansion was completely finished!

The news soon reached the ears of the emperor, and when the emperor ordered Dali Siqing to arrive, he found that he was lying on his aunt's bed, his death was terrible, and the whole person was black.

The whole incident only left this clue, and the rest was meticulous and delicate, and it was impossible to continue the investigation.

Don't think about it, I know who did it, and I can do it so cleanly and neatly, without leakage, and perfectly planted it for the remnants of Xia Guo.

Xi Niancheng betrayed Duan Junmo, how could Duan Junmo tolerate him?

Now that the emperor has detected his betrayal, the position of the first assistant of the cabinet will change hands sooner or later, and Duan Junmo will naturally strike first.

In order to be ahead of the curve, the emperor immediately ordered people to start preparations and arranged for his own people to sit in the position of the head of the cabinet.

But the ministers have a lot of opinions, and they all recommend people from their own faction, and the first assistant of the cabinet is an important position above 10,000 people under one person, so it is not to be hasty, and Duan Junmo is bound to win this time, and it is even more difficult for the emperor to choose.

For a while, the imperial court began to fall into a civil war, and the Criminal Department, the Military Department, and the Household Department were Duan Junmo's people, and the three ministries strongly recommended the Household Department Shangshu as the first assistant of the cabinet.

The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry are the emperor's people, and the Second Ministry fully recommended the Ministry of Rites to be the first assistant of the cabinet.

After fierce competition, in the end, Duan Junmo turned the tide and won with absolute power, and the first assistant of the cabinet was appointed by the head of the cabinet, and the head of the cabinet was replaced by the officials under him.

This action came too suddenly, Duan Junmo had already begun to plot, and the emperor was only temporary, and there was no time to lay out, so this was just a bad move.

Turning his hands into clouds, covering his hands into rain, Xi Niancheng's rebellion was less than seven days old, and he was uprooted by Duan Junmo and replaced in an instant.

The people under him were shocked for a while, and the heart that was originally about to move was quickly suppressed, and they did not dare to regenerate the heart of mutation, and the people who rebelled together with Xi Niancheng were also imprisoned for various crimes.

At the time of civil strife in the imperial court, a plague broke out in the hard-hit areas in the south, and the entire Dali Dynasty fell into turmoil.

Out of desperation, the emperor appointed Imperial Physician Zhuang and Feng Lingye to go to the south to support the prince and fight the disaster together and treat the victims.

The road was urgent, the carriage was very fast, with the supplies and medicinal materials for treatment, and rushed to Dailiang County in the south, which only took ten days.

After arriving that day, Dr. Zhuang immediately treated and prescribed medicine to the locals.

Feng Lingye did not rush to the clinic, first observed the infection point, the surrounding environment, and the transmission route, and then checked the patient's body, laboratory tests and tests, and found a prescription, and then found Imperial Doctor Zhuang to start discussing.

"Patients must be isolated and treated, divided into areas with severe infection, mild infection, and gradual recovery, and every day the doctor needs to see a doctor and then assign an area." Feng Lingye suggested.

Imperial Physician Zhuang had no opinion, and his head agreed, "This method is feasible." ”

"I checked the poultry and the water source, and there were problems, the poultry could be burned directly, and the water source had to be transferred from the unaffected area." Feng Lingye said.

Imperial Physician Zhuang was in a difficult situation for a while, and his brows were furrowed, "The water diversion project is huge, and it is somewhat difficult. ”

"I'll do this, you let people dig a new well immediately, check the quality of the well water, and if there is no problem, wait for my water source to be transferred to support it for a while, and it can come in handy." The situation is urgent, and Feng Lingye has no other way, "The water source is contaminated, even if the drug H2 is taken
