The news of the Son of Heaven's illness quickly spread throughout the government and the opposition, but it did not cause much shock, this is the third time that the Son of Heaven has fallen ill this year, if the previous two illnesses still made the ministers worry about the heir, then now that the imperial heir has been established, the officials have one less major heart disease.

"Fan Zhanshi, the official family is sick, do you think we should go into the palace to visit?"

It was Han Jiang who spoke, and when he heard the news that the Son of Heaven was sick, he immediately ran to Fanning's official room.

Fan Ning said lightly: "Other officials can care about the condition of the Son of Heaven, but it is best not to pay too much attention to the East Palace, it will make people have ideas." ”

"That's right, I can only wait for the imperial heir to come back and ask about the situation."

The imperial heir Zhao Ji had already entered the palace to visit the emperor's grandfather, Fan Ning was still a little nervous in his heart, he very much hoped that the Son of Heaven would survive this hurdle, if the Son of Heaven fell before Zhao Zongshi, then his situation would not be good.

Fan Ning already knew about Gao Tao's entry into the palace last night, and also knew about Zhang Yaozuo's entry into the palace this morning, but he didn't know how Zhao Zhen dealt with this matter in the end, so Fan Ning seemed a little absent-minded all morning.

"Forget it, I'd better go back!"

Han Jiang saw that Fan Ning was a little absent-minded, so he got up and said, "I believe that the official family will get better, don't worry too much!" ”

Fanning nodded, not holding him back

Not long after Han Jiang left, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then he heard his staff member Chen Yu laugh and said, "Zhu Long, seeing that you are so anxious, I thought something big was wrong." ”

Fan Ning immediately took a document on the table and walked out, handed it to Chen Yu and said, "Ji Chang, please go to the Zhizheng Hall and hand over this piece to Han Xianggong, just say that my opinion has been attached to it, and ask him to think about it again." ”

"I'll go!"

Chen Yu took the paperwork, smiled at Zhu Long, and hurried to the Zhizheng Hall.

Fanning gave Zhu Long a look, Zhu Long walked in quickly, Fanning closed the door of the outhouse and walked into the inner room.

"What's the news?" Fanning asked.

He was just waiting for news from Zhu Long.

"Officials, it's all big news!"

"Say it one by one!"

"Early this morning, Qin Yougong, Wu Jinhan and Liu Zhi were secretly taken away and never returned, and someone informed their families that they had been sent to Yan'an Mansion to carry out important tasks."

Fanning immediately understood that the three had already been beheaded, and then after a while he made an excuse that they had died on the frontier so that they would not cause trouble.

"What about the palace?"

"The big thing happened on the side of the palace, half an hour ago, Zhao Zongshi got into a carriage, and a cavalry of hundreds of people escorted the carriage out of the capital, and it seemed that Zhao Shiyue recognized him as the leading general."

"White-headed general Zhao Shiyue?"

"That's him!"

Of course, Fan Ning knew who Zhao Shiyue was, General Qianniuwei, the confidant of Zhao Zhen, the son of heaven, it seemed that Zhao Zongshi was sent away, either under house arrest or...

"What else is there to say?"

"Nothing else!"

Fan Ning suddenly felt a little anxious in his heart, he knew that Gao Taotao would definitely bring him the core news.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Fan Ning quickly went to open the door, and there was a Chongwen Pavilion practitioner standing outside the door.

"Fan Zhanshi, the imperial heir is back, please come over."

Fan Ning had to put aside the idea of going to the Zhu Mansion for the time being, and he walked quickly to the Chongwen Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Ji sitting alone in the room crying, he coughed lightly at the door, Zhao Ji hurriedly wiped away his tears, got up and said, "Zhan Shi is here, please come in!" ”

Fan Ning walked into the room, glanced at Zhao Ji, and asked suspiciously, "Is there any bad news?" ”

Zhao Ji's eyes were red, and he whispered: "I may be abolished!" ”

Fanning was taken aback, "Did the Son of Heaven tell you?" ”

Zhao Ji shook his head, "Grandfather Huang is very weak, the imperial doctor did not allow me to visit him, I didn't see him." ”

Fanning breathed a sigh of relief, "Then how do you say such abolished words, the Son of Heaven is sick, what does it have to do with you?" ”

"I heard about one thing in the palace, Zhang Yaozuo impeached my father to rebel, and the emperor's grandfather fainted, as if my father really did something serious?"

Fan Ning's mind suddenly moved, this matter can be planted on Zhang Yaozuo.

He waved his hand, "Don't worry, sit down, let's talk slowly." ”

Fan Ning closed the door, and then said to Zhao Ji: "Before you entered the palace, Zhao Wenyun had already occupied the absolute upper hand, and I heard that the Son of Heaven had promised Zhang Guifei to canonize Zhao Wenyun as the prince."

At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Zhang Yaozuo was going to win, and most of the court officials moved closer to Zhang Yaozuo and stood in line, and even when my Ding worry period expired, my father-in-law still did not allow me to enter Beijing to resume his post, he was afraid that I would become the first object of Zhang Yaozuo's revenge, and Han Xianggong was very worried, and wrote several letters urging me to enter Beijing.

But that's when something big happens, you know, something big happens. ”

Zhao Ji nodded, "Concubine Zhang died of illness!" ”

"That's right, Zhang Guifei's death made the Son of Heaven unintentional about the issue of the imperial heir, at this time I secretly entered Beijing, Zhang Yaozuo's plan was disrupted, he did two stupid things when he was anxious, one is to artificially create Ruizhao, the other is to force my father-in-law to stand in line, burn the strange stone pavilion, both of these things have been exposed by me, the biggest gain is that the Son of Heaven is sober, he began to be wary of Zhang Yaozuo, worried that his relatives usurped power, so he let go of Zhao Wenyun's matter of being crowned prince, and at this time you entered the palace."

Zhao Ji knew a little about these two things, but he didn't know how big the impact of these two things was, he sighed: "If Zhan Shi hadn't entered Beijing at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be where I am today." ”

Fan Ning had already made up his mind, and while Zhao Ji was still young, he was so foolish, he quickly let him have a preconceived idea, and decided that Zhang Yaozuo would be dead when he grew up in the future.

Fan Ning said seriously: "I'm telling you this to let you know how dangerous Zhang Yaozuo is, he almost succeeded, but he was turned over by us at the last moment."

Will he be willing? No! He is calculating you all the time, he assassinated you in Ying Tianfu last year, and he wants to take advantage of your father's mistakes to bring you down, Your Highness, now the situation of the Son of Heaven is not good, Zhang Yaozuo will only become more and more crazy, I am worried that if something happens to the Son of Heaven, he is likely to launch a mutiny. ”

Zhao Ji's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Zhang Yaozuo will launch a mutiny?" ”

"Your Highness, there are some things that everyone doesn't know, but you have to know in your own heart, for example, why should I Ying Tianfu, isn't it because Ying Tianfu is too close to the capital, Zhang Yaozuo has mastered the Xiang army there, everyone is worried! Also, why did the Son of Heaven attribute the Shenwu Army to the East Palace, has His Highness thought about this problem? What is the Son of Heaven worried about? What is being prevented? ”

Zhao Ji was finally convinced, he gritted his teeth and said: "Damn Zhang Yaozuo, I hurt my father, I have to cut him with a thousand knives!" ”

"Your Highness, Zhang Yaozuo also knows very well in his heart that once His Highness ascends the throne, he will never let him go, so he will definitely be crazy to prevent His Highness from ascending to the throne, at all costs, we must take all precautions."

"And what about this time?"

Zhao Ji said worriedly: "I don't know how big things are, I'm worried about whether I can get through this." ”

Fan Ning pondered and said: "Zhu Yuanfeng's daughter told me that the prince asked her father for three thousand gold, I estimate that Zhang Yaozuo's impeachment of the prince is related to this matter, I have arranged for my subordinates to investigate, I estimate that there will be news soon, Your Highness will wait patiently." ”

Zhao Ji nodded silently, and asked again: "If the imperial grandfather wakes up and summons me, will I go?" ”

"Of course you have to go, but you have to remember one thing, you haven't seen the prince since you entered the palace, no matter what the prince has done, it has nothing to do with you, you don't know anything, you must remember this."

"I'll remember, I really don't have any contact with my father!"

Fanning comforted him a few more words, then got up and hurried away.

Zhao Ji stared at the table, he picked up the pen and wrote the words 'Zhang Yaozuo' on the paper, and slapped a black cross on the name.

"Zhang Yaozuo, if I ascend the throne, I will be the first to kill you!"

Zhu Yuanfeng's mansion is not far from the imperial city, and a quarter of an hour later, Fan Ning entered Zhu's mansion, Zhu Jie saw Fan Ning and shook his head and said: "You really have a spirit rhino, Cai'e just arrived, you came!" ”

"It's not Lingxi, it's the same thing."

Zhu Jie pursed her lips, "You are tied together." ”

Fan Ning didn't have the heart to argue with her, and soon saw Cai'e waiting for him here, Cai'e closed the door and said to Fanning: "The prince has been taken to Yingtianfu." ”

"I know he's been taken, and I want to know more about it."

The princess asked me to bring you a message, "The Son of Heaven thinks that the prince is seriously ill and needs to go to Hongqing Palace for treatment!" ”

"Anything else?"

Cai'e glanced at him, "Also, the princess asked you not to forget the promise you made to her!" ”

Fanning was stunned, when did he give her a promise?

But Fan Ning still understood something, he nodded and said: "You tell the princess that the official family is also sick, and the imperial heir will not wait too long, please prepare her too." ”

"There is another important thing, you have to transfer my original words to the princess, early this morning, Zhang Yaozuo secretly saw the Son of Heaven and accused the prince of attempting to rebel, the prince is likely to be taken away because of this matter, the little prince now hates Zhang Yaozuo to the core, I am worried that he will do something stupid, please have time to persuade the little princess."

Fan Ning figured out one thing, he was worried that Zhao Ji would know the truth, but in fact, Gao Tao was even more afraid, letting Zhang Yaozuo carry this pot was still the most perfect result.
