Chapter 16: Vignette
Not more than half of the time (two o'clock in the afternoon. )
After an hour-long sacrificial ceremony for hundreds of officials.
The ceremony of sacrificing the heavens in the winter of the 29th year of Zhengde finally came to an official end in a jubilant atmosphere.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the clan relatives and nobles saluted in the direction of the emperor's dragon chariot like the wind blowing wheat waves.
A peaceful and tranquil sound of musical instruments.
The huge and majestic Imperial Dragon Wheel slowly rose.
When the imperial guard of honor completely disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the nobles of the clan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The originally neat formation also dispersed.
Officials who knew each other well gathered together in twos and threes, helping each other to their respective carriages.
Some elderly officials, when they helped each other to walk, couldn't help but feel a little sluggish.
If you look closely, some officials already have beads of sweat the size of soybeans on their faces.
It's winter, and it doesn't make sense that this should happen.
However, at today's ceremony, which official crawled out of the warm quilt before dawn.
Hurried to this Royal Temple of Heaven located in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City.
This was followed by standing for several hours, and from time to time they had to bow down and pray to the heavens for good weather and peace for the country and the people.
In the past, it was not easy for the officials and lords who were used to being pampered to hold on until the ceremony of sacrificing to heaven was completely over.
Carriages carrying extremely weak officials and old men slowly left the Temple of Heaven in the southern suburbs.
The ceremony has come to a perfect end.
However, another court meeting that was enough to decide the life and death of the people in Guanzhong still quietly kicked off at this time.
Xu Yi took two quick steps to meet Xu Zhen, who was even more sluggish.
At this time, Xu Zhen's face was already a little pale.
But not waiting for Xu Yi to help,
Xu Zhen stumbled and fell heavily towards the ground.
"Second uncle!"
"His Royal Highness King Jin!"
Xu Zhen's abnormality was instantly discovered by the purple-robed nobles around him.
The purple-robed nobles beside him shouted in panic.
However, almost all of the people who can wear purple robes are half a hundred years old.
Even if everyone has a heart, they can't change anything.
Only Xu Yi, who is still two steps away from Xu Zhen.
Xu Yi exclaimed, and the soles of his feet suddenly exerted force.
Three steps and two steps rushed towards Xu Zhen.
It seems that it is too late to support.
Before approaching, Xu Yi slid suddenly.
With his own body, he caught Xu Zhen, who was about to fall to the ground.
Xu Zhen's head fell heavily on Xu Yi's stomach, causing the purple-robed nobles beside him to exclaim.
Fortunately, Xu Yi reacted in time, if it weren't for this, Xu Zhen fell hard, if his head really hit the ground.
It's a big deal.
"Second uncle! Second uncle! ”
Xu Yi slowly helped Xu Zhen up, and kept calling Xu Zhen softly.
In today's world, there are only two people who treat him sincerely.
One is Zhao Shou, who has relied on each other since childhood.
One person is the pale King Xu Zhen of Jin in front of him, with his eyes closed.
If something happens to Xu Zhen, Xu Yi really doesn't know if he will go crazy!
Meanwhile.
Several purple-robed nobles who were over half a hundred years old next to the two of them couldn't avoid suspicion of Xu Yi at this time.
They all gathered around.
Some of these purple-robed nobles had conflicts with Xu Zhen because of political disagreements.
Some people have been political enemies of Xu Zhen for various reasons.
However, regardless of the previous relationship between the two, at this moment, they all surrounded them.
It's not because they're noble, it's not because they're generous enough to laugh at it.
It's because Xu Zhen really can't have an accident.
Although Xu Zhen retired from the Western Regions due to injury, as long as Xu Zhen still lived in this world for one day.
Those countries in the Western Regions that had been beaten down by Xu Zhen would not dare to act rashly because of fear!
Mo Xiaojin's legs were upside down, and the horizontal knife was still shaking immediately.
To this day, such a nursery rhyme is still circulated in the countries of the Western Regions.
In some of the tribes that were beaten by Xu Zhen, Xu Zhen, the king of Jin, the four big characters can still be four characters out, and the children stop crying.
Now the Great Zhou Dynasty has a great drought in Beijing, and the Huns in Mobei are ready to move.
If Xu Zhen has another accident, it will be really a big trouble.
"Fetch water!"
Xu Yi called out softly, and seeing that Xu Zhen didn't react in the slightest, he didn't dare to shake it hard at all.
At this time, he no longer cared who the person next to him was.
A loud roar made the group of purple-robed nobles come back to their senses and began to shout one after another.
After a while, a guard came over with a water bladder.
Xu Yi took the water bladder, didn't bother to thank him, and bit the cork directly.
Slowly pour the water into Xu Zhen's mouth.
"Ahem!"
Xu Zhen coughed lightly, which made Xu Yi breathe a sigh of relief.
"Second uncle?"
"It's okay, it's old."
Xu Zhen waved his hand slightly, signaling Xu Yi to feel at ease.
"King Jin, why don't you pass on the imperial doctor."
When the first assistant Shangguan Lu frowned slightly, he slowly asked.
"It's okay, it's an old problem, you better go back to the palace first, just rest for a while."
Xu Zhen's face was pale, and when he saw everyone coming over, he didn't understand what everyone was worried about.
"King Jin is really fine? According to the old man, it is better to ask a doctor to be safer. ”
Shangguan Lu frowned, sometimes he couldn't get used to Xu Zhen's style, but at this time he really cared.
"It doesn't matter."
Xu Zhen waved his hand again and motioned for everyone to leave.
Shangguan Lu sighed, said take care, and then left.
When the rest of the crowd saw this, they said goodbye one after another.
To a certain extent, civil officials, military generals, and honorables belong to three different interest groups.
When it comes to big things, they may be united, but when the wind is calm, they are the biggest waves.
"Second uncle, this is an old problem?"
Xu Yi's brows were tightly locked, his eyes were always staring at Xu Zhen's eyes, after Xu Zhen returned from the Western Regions, he had never heard of Xu Zhen's old illness.
Of course, the legs don't count, this belongs to the whole country to know.
Seeing that Xu Yi would not give up if he didn't figure it out, Xu Zhen sighed and said slowly.
Since the leg injury, heart palpitations, chest tightness, sweating and other conditions often occur.
In severe cases, there may even be breathing difficulties and a feeling of imminent death.
The strange thing is that in the past, as long as you eat and drink well, you will not have symptoms.
However, if you skip meals for a long time, a similar situation will occur again.
It's not that Xu Zhen hasn't looked for a doctor, and he has even been to the Tai Hospital several times.
I drank a lot of decoction, but I didn't get any better, and I was still dizzy.
"Hypoglycemia."
After listening to Xu Zhen's self-report, the word low blood sugar instantly popped up in his mind.
"Second uncle, wait for me for a moment."
The voice fell, and he didn't wait for Xu Zhen to reply.
Xu Yi trotted all the way to the carriage.
When Xu Yi turned back again, there were a few more pastries in his hand.
Hypoglycemia is not completely relieved by just a few sips of water.
Fortunately, some melons and fruit cakes are usually prepared on the carriage of the palace.
