At this time, even though Imperial Physician Bai was reluctant, he had to speak first. trembling "yes" for a long time, he said: "The ministers are only shallow in their studies, and with the ability of the ministers, they really can't heal Your Majesty." Your Majesty's current body, if the minister dares to speak presumptuously, it is ...... I can't go back to God......"

Imperial Physician Bai kowtowed heavily to the ground, and tears gathered in an instant.

The doctors of the Tai Hospital, when they encounter any serious illness that is difficult to deal with, they are all in this situation, and they are all good seedlings of singing. In fact, it is not all pretended, but when I think that I may be questioned for my guilt and buried with my master because of poor healing, I feel extremely frightened and aggrieved, and tears can't help but come out of my eyes.

After hearing Taiyi Bai's words, Li Zhonggui was stunned for a moment, but he still said according to the usual practice: "Bold! How dare you curse Your Majesty like this! ”

"Your Majesty's forgiveness...... Your Majesty forgives the sins...... The ministers are not skilled in medicine, and they are vain, and I hope that Your Majesty will not blame you......" Frightened, the two imperial doctors hurriedly kowtowed.

But whether it is Li Zhonggui's reaction or the reaction of these two imperial doctors, it looks like acting, and they are all acting for the emperor. In fact, what the situation is, whether these two imperial doctors have the audacity to curse or have to tell the truth, everyone knows in their hearts. Including the emperor himself, in fact, he is also clear.

The emperor waved his hand tiredly and said, "Don't leak the news." Stand down, go back, come up with a plan, and try your best. ”

These two people listened to the emperor's orders, but they got the amnesty, and they hurriedly kowtowed to "yes", and did not dare to stay for a moment.

After the two retreated, Li Zhonggui followed. Secretly whispered: "Don't worry, two adults, if within an hour, Your Majesty has not called other imperial doctors to come over, it is not too late for the two adults to start formulating a prescription." If His Majesty sends other imperial doctors over, it will be up to the imperial doctors of the Imperial Physician Department to discuss and come up with a prescription in the end......"

"But within this hour, I hope that the two adults must remember to keep their mouths shut, even if they are the closest colleagues."

These two people naturally knew the weight of Li Zhonggui's words, even though Li Zhonggui's orders were different from the emperor's orders, but in this case, they were more willing to listen to Li Zhonggui.

Therefore, they all responded to the "father-in-law rest assured", and then retreated.

Back in the Yilan Palace, Li Zhonggui gently asked the emperor to ask the emperor not to just listen to the words of the two people, but to let the doctors from the Tai Hospital come over to take a look, so that it would be safer. And persuaded again: "The slave asked the little apprentices to pass it quietly, and two of them will come over every once in a while, and it will not cause any big disturbance." ”

The emperor was silent for a long time, but said, "That's it...... No need to toss so much. ”

His own body knows that this time, most of them are really as the two imperial doctors said just now, and they are powerless to return to the sky. Since it's a matter of time or time, it doesn't matter if you get things out a moment early or a moment later.

This time, the Zhou family suffered heavy losses, not to mention the annihilation of the whole army, and the remaining two shrimp soldiers and crab generals couldn't set off any big waves. There is King Ling guarding the border pass, and the people of the Lei Kingdom can't even capture Rongcheng for a while, how can they kill in Kyoto.

As for the Kyoto side, if there were any other people with evil intentions that he had not counted, he would have drawn them all out while he was still alive, lest they have secretly acted at the beginning of the new emperor's accession to the throne.

Li Zhonggui listened to the emperor's orders and knew that the emperor had his own plans, so he didn't persuade him to say anything, and passed the word to the little eunuch standing outside the door.

At this time, it was almost hai, but in this Weiyang Palace, because of the emperor's return to the palace and the turmoil of the trip to Mengshan, it was not as quiet as before. In the harem, in all palaces and courtyards, for fear of some chaos at night, they all turned on oil lamps and waited with their spirits.

The imperial concubine saw that the emperor hadn't eaten much in the past half a day, and she was afraid that the emperor's stomach would be empty and her body would be weak, so she said softly: "There is some new rice in the small kitchen, and the concubine will go to the small kitchen to cook a bowl of porridge for Your Majesty, how much will Your Majesty enter?" ”

The emperor's breath was weak, and he nodded, with a smile in his eyes......

"I do miss the porridge you made......"

I don't know how many more times I'll be able to drink it. Although he was reluctant to admit the worst, the physical condition he felt now made him have to admit it. Even if the prescription on the imperial doctor's side is appropriate, he is afraid that he will not be able to survive this month.

When the imperial concubine listened, her nose was sore, and she almost didn't shed tears. didn't want the emperor to see his appearance, so he hurriedly gave a bow and retreated.

King Chen has been waiting outside the Xiaoyuemen of the bedroom, and without the emperor's summons, he naturally does not dare to enter the dormitory to offend. At this time, the mother concubine retreated, and Li Zhonggui was outside and had not come back, and heard his father say: "Third child, you come to me." ”

Hearing his father's weak voice, King Chen's throat tightened for a while. Busy to the emperor went to bed, gave the emperor a salute, and said: "Father." ”

Just by saying these two words, his voice was already a little choked.

The emperor sighed: "You have also seen my situation, but I am afraid that I will not be able to go to court again." Now that your eldest brother and the Zhou family have made such a fuss, it is a time when people's hearts are in turmoil, and there is no one who is in charge. Which is the third child...... Today, I have entrusted this country to you, can you stand it? ”

King Chen knelt down in fear and said: "I hope that my father will not say these unlucky words, my father is a famous monarch through the ages, and God will bless him for thousands of years!" ”

The emperor shook his head lightly and said with a wry smile: "Third brother, when it comes to this part, you don't have to hide with me." I know that you are an ambitious man, and you have always had a desire to fight for this throne. You also know that under my knees, there is no one else except you and your eldest brother. Now that you have won your eldest brother, this world should be your ......"

"Father...... Emperor" King Chen interrupted the emperor's words, his voice was not high, and his tone was calm, but his words were very resolute, "It was not the sons who defeated the eldest brother, but the eldest brother who killed himself." At the night banquet in Zhanghua Pavilion, Erchen gave the eldest brother a chance, but the eldest brother insisted on acting and did not take Qin Yingyue back. Erchen also has no way, if Erchen first clarifies this matter with his father, his father will definitely not believe Erchen. I don't know if the retainer will be accused of scheming and framing the emperor's brother......"

"Father, the sons have a wife, a mother, and a family of concubines and heirs to protect, and the sons and daughters can't afford to take this risk. Since the father wants to be honest with the son, the son will not hide it from the father. Erchen does have the ambition to dominate the world, but if the situation in the country is stable, if the father has always only trusted the orthodox heir, even if the son-in-law has ambitions, he will only be an idle prince who obeys orders for the sake of his mother's life, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness......"

"But father, you support your sons to contain the eldest brother and deal with the Zhou family, and the sons have become a thorn in the eyes of the eldest brother and the Zhou family. Once the eldest brother ascends the throne, the sons will have only one way to die. Therefore, when the father sent his son to this position, the son could no longer think of brotherly harmony and be a good brother and virtuous minister. In order to live, in order to protect the people who should be protected, the sons can only fight with all their might, and the sons can only win. ”

King Chen paused, and his voice became more solemn: "Although all this is a last resort, but on this way, the son has been happy countless times, and the emperor has given the son this last resort. ”

He didn't want to pretend to be a saint, he didn't want to pretend to be innocent, but he couldn't bear that treacherous charge in vain.

Even though these words were very cruel to his father, even if it was really unfilial for him to say these things to his father at this time, it was better to let his father go clearly than to let his father go in a daze. This is also the last respect for my father.

Listening to King Chen's words, the emperor's originally calm face gradually frowned...... After a long time, the emperor sighed heavily: "In this way, it is me who has harmed you two brothers." It was I who caused today's tragedy of father and son becoming enemies and son poisoning and killing father......"

"You can't say that entirely. If the eldest brother was smart and had made a clear connection with the Zhou family earlier, things might not be ......like this," King Chen said, "This matter can't be slapped in the face, and the sons, eldest brothers, and fathers are all at fault." ”

The emperor sighed and said, "But if your eldest brother is smart...... In the end, you will die. ”

Before this moment, he had not experienced the consequence that one of these two sons would not die well, but at that time, he was only focused on the country, and he really didn't think about these carefully. I just feel that no matter what the consequences are, they should be shouldered as royal heirs, and this is their life. Since they have received this honor, they should be able to bear this responsibility.

But he forgot that they were all mortal wombs in the flesh, and no one could know that they would die, and they could still bear it obediently. Wasn't he the same back then? He won, so he ended up alive, he finally ascended to this throne, and in the end, he owned this magnificent mountain and river for thousands of miles.

What about the people who lost back then? has become a handful of white bones that sleep in the imperial tomb forever.

He once said that the third child is most like him, which is a prophecy. Even the path to the throne, and even the reason for the journey to the throne, are so similar.

He never killed his father, but he did lure his brother to his death. He wanted this, but he was really out of necessity, and indeed only out of self-preservation. He respects his father, but he does resent his ruthlessness.

"At the end of the day...... It's not your fault, it's not your eldest brother's fault, maybe it's not my fault, it's all because he is in the royal ......" He resented his father for most of his life, and it is only now that he finally understands and finally understands. I don't know if everything can be explained clearly under Jiuquan.

After a moment of silence, King Chen sighed: "Yes, everything can only be blamed on the word 'life'." But Erchen has always felt that it is a coward's move to attribute everything to fate. So no one complained, Erchen just rejoiced, and he was glad that the person who won in the end was Erchen. If there is no such big gamble, where would this happy victory come from? At this time, if only this battle is concerned, Erchen feels ...... Joyfully. ”

But King Chen looked at the emperor, and his eyebrows were full of worry: "But seeing the current appearance of my father, my sons feel like a fish in their throats." I can't wait to have the power to reverse and make everything happen again. If you let everything happen again, whether you will be pushed into danger or not, whether your father believes it or not, your son should remind your father. ”

It sounds good, but he already knows in his heart that if he makes everything happen again, he will definitely choose to do it this time. Even at the last moment, even when he was clearly honest with his father, he still had reservations, but he was still deceiving. Because until the last moment, his fate was still in the hands of his father. The emperor can choose him, or of course he can give him up......
