Chapter 245: The Noble Emperor
As soon as the sky was white, the emperor returned to the palace, and Li Dongbi, the head of the Tai Hospital, sat on the edge of the bed to diagnose Zhu Wucheng's pulse.
Dong Shan wrung out a hot towel to wipe the sweat from Li Dongbi's forehead.
In the outer hall, the concubines of the harem all came, wiping their tears and blowing their noses one by one with handkerchiefs.
With a snap, the door of the palace opened, and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager walked in, followed by Yuan Chun, who was supported by the hug qin.
Queen Wang and Concubine Wu, who were sitting on the soft couch, stood up, and the rest of the concubines knelt down.
"How?"
"Is the Emperor awake?"
Queen Wang bowed down and replied, "I have woken up, and Li Yuan is taking the pulse."
Inside, the voice of the emperor calling for the queen was heard.
Everyone looked at each other.
The Empress Dowager walked quickly to the bedside and asked Li Yuanzheng, "How is the emperor?" Does it matter?"
Li Dongbi replied: "Back to the Empress Dowager, it rained heavily last night, and Your Majesty was already weak, so he got hot, but fortunately it did not cause inflammation, and it was good to take a few medicines to recuperate."
Zhu Wucheng struggled to sit up, but the Empress Dowager hurriedly said, "Emperor, you lie down."
"Quick, get up!"
Helpless, he could only let Dong Shan take the futon and let Zhu Wucheng lean on.
"It worries the imperial grandmother and the queen mother."
The Queen Mother hurriedly said, "It's okay! It's okay!"
Zhu Wucheng glanced at Concubine Wu Guifei, who was standing beside Empress Wang, then looked at Yuan Chun and said, "Why are you here! It's humid early in the morning, so be careful."
Yuan Chun hurriedly walked to the bedside, bowed carefully, and said with tears: "The concubine sees the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an."
The Empress Dowager hurriedly held her hand, "You, you, how did you tell you when you came, how unlucky it is to cry and cry.....
Yuan Chun collected his tears.
The concubines in the outer hall also stopped crying.
Li Dongbi: "The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty needs to rest now......
The Empress Dowager: "The matter is too busy, so leave it to the cabinet for the time being, it's okay." The Emperor will rest the dragon's body." He turned his gaze to the queen again: "You've worked hard these days."
[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @
At this time, Dong Shan walked in with a medicine bowl, "Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."
Zhu Wucheng took the bowl with both hands and drank the bowl of medicine in one gulp.
Dong Shan took the medicine bowl, turned around and twisted a face towel from the copper basin next to the bed to wipe Zhu Wucheng's mouth.
Zhu Wucheng's eyes glanced at Li Dongbi and motioned for him to go out.
Li Dongbi hurriedly retreated.
Zhu Wucheng: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Dong Shan knelt down: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, the minions of the Internal Affairs Office are also thinking about sharing your worries for Your Majesty, and the Jia Family Chamber of Commerce is almost about to monopolize the trading of the two capitals, the Central Plains and the coastal provinces. It has already affected the business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I originally planned to take the opportunity to suppress it, who would have thought .....about it?"
"I don't know how to be blessed when I am in the midst of blessings!" The emperor deliberately dragged out his voice.
"Your Majesty....." Dong Shan was frightened.
Wu Guifei's pleading gaze made Zhu Wucheng feel broken, for the queen, he was more guilty, as for Yuan Chun, an indescribable feeling, only the Wu family occupied an important position in his heart, otherwise he would not have canonized her as a concubine after ascending the throne, but now he can only watch her being bullied by the Jia family, her father was so angry that she was bedridden, her brother was sent to the army to atone for his crimes, and the Chamber of Commerce was also dismembered, although the Jia family said that it could be redeemed in five years, but no one dared to ask for these shares back from the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, Even the emperor himself can't.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Zhongwu..... Uncle Zhongwu can return to Beijing today, why don't you invite him into the palace?"
Zhu Wucheng waved his hand and said, "You have to follow the rules."
Dong Shan was secretly surprised: "The slave won't dare next time."
"What's going on with the Phoenix Palace?"
"Back to Your Majesty, since the news of the split of the Ruishi Camp spread, the Empress Dowager has taken Concubine Yuan Niangniang to live in Cining Palace and eat together every day."
Zhu Wucheng nodded, and then asked, "Are all those loyal ministers of mine here?"
Dong Shan: "Yes." He took out a book from his sleeve and offered it.
"Whose notebook?"
Dong Shan lowered his head: "Back to Your Majesty, the recital of the Zuodu Imperial Shi Meisheng."
Zhu Wucheng took the notebook and looked at it, a trace of displeasure crossed his face, and he threw the notebook in his hand, "Resign? This is the official of the Ming Dynasty, my good courtier?!"
Dong Shan: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, don't hurt the dragon's body. There's really nothing they can do..... The Jia family has already greeted all the merchants, no one dares to sell anything to them, and the people outside the city dare not dare to do it, if this continues, the elderly, women and children will definitely have an accident....." Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "At the beginning of every day, the Shangshan Supervisor transports fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and meat from Dongbianmen into the palace, and Chongwenmen Street is the only way to go....."....
After being silent for a while, Zhu Wucheng spoke: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and empty their bodies.....
Dong Shan was shocked in his heart, and gritted his teeth: "How long will it take?!"
Zhu Wucheng's eyes flashed: "Sending charcoal in the snow is more unforgettable than icing on the cake, wait until they can't hold it anymore."
Dong Shan: "Yes. The old slave started His Majesty again, and Wu Guifei wanted to go out of the palace to visit Wu Guozhang."
Zhu Wucheng was silent for a while: "Go, you can do this matter yourself, don't let the Empress Dowager know."
"Yes." Dong Shan responded, retreated to the door, turned around and strode out.

After walking for two days, the fleet encountered a headwind, slow like a turtle crawling, fortunately, it had entered the boundary of Tongzhou, in order to throw this hot potato out as soon as possible, under Li Nan's bitter pleading, Jia Jue finally agreed to change to a carriage into Beijing, no way, the Korean royal family is too capable to do, can always give you a surprise, especially those female rolls, if it is not for the timely rescue, several corpses are cold, they can't be stripped naked, in order to prevent another accident, Li Nan personally went to inspect, and was dragged into the cabin by this group of female rolls, was almost defiled by the so-called owner.
Jia Jue closed Jia Yu's handwritten letter and said to the soldier, "Go back and tell the master,
Let them say that I already know, and let them put their hearts in their stomachs."
"Yes."
After watching the figure of his own soldier disappear, Jia Jue turned back to Li Nan and said, "Your Majesty has returned to Beijing."
Seeing that he looked uneasy, Jia Jue said teasingly, "What's the matter, I slapped someone, and now I can't give up again?" He pointed to the carriage behind him and asked, "It's still far away from Shenjing now, if you Lao Li have this thought, how about I Jia someone to determine the beauty of a human?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately laughed.
Li Nan was a little annoyed, as a serious scholar, Huayi's argument was deep in the bone marrow, but now he was almost harmed by a group of barbarians because his heart was too soft, if this was spread, what face would he have to face his family, face his colleagues, and if the other party slandered him, how should he defend himself?
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to humiliate you. Before I finished my words just now, the cabinet and the Ministry of War had already set the charter, and the Li clan was not on the list, but it would definitely be confiscated into the Teaching Department and become a lowly member. So, don't worry about her slandering you, no one will interrogate them at all."
Hearing Jia Jue say this, Li Nan's face looked much better, although he despised these barbarians in his heart, but after all, the other party was a royal family, if there was really any bad news, even if the emperor believed in himself, the cabinet would dismiss himself for the sake of the face of the court, and he finally climbed to this position, but he didn't want to be ruined like this.
"Uncle, if that's the case, then why do you still care about their life and death, this has made everyone scared."
"Humph! Not all civil officials are so clear about right and wrong to you, Lord Li, taking into account the overall situation, if a person dies on the road, they can drown the two of us. Especially the group of villains in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, when Lao Tzu goes back, I must let them know that it is powerful, and let them increase their memory, otherwise I will not be at ease to lead the troops to the battle." ….
The corners of Li Nan's mouth twitched, then he smiled bitterly and persuaded, "Uncle should bear with it, if it is too big, Your Majesty may not be silent."
After a pause, "Our emperor must be strong and have a good face.... The mind is very heavy!"
Jia Jue looked at him for a while, then turned his head and said loudly, "Run, go back to Beijing for lunch!"
After speaking, he urged the war horse and ran towards Shenjing.
............
Dongcheng, the back garden of Meifu.
"Father, what are you doing?"
Mei Wenhua saw that his father Mei Sheng was plowing the ground with a hoe, and asked anxiously, "How can I plane a good garden, what a pity!"
Mei Sheng pretended not to hear, and while plowing the ground, he muttered: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies.....
Mei Wenhua couldn't help it, snatched the hoe, and asked, "What are you going to do?!"
Mei Sheng: "I plan to plant two ridges of greens here, and two rows of beans over there, by the way, those two ridges of land are reserved for planting cucumbers in April." As he spoke, he pointed it out to him.
Mei Wenhua was anxious: "Father! What the hell is going on?"
Mei Sheng wiped his sweat with the corner of his clothes: "Whether our family can eat food in the future depends on these ridges of land."
Mei Wenhua said: "Why!"
Mei Sheng sighed, "Hey! Let me tell you the truth, my father wrote a letter to impeach Jia Zheng a few days ago, no, the Jia family began to retaliate against our family, and merchants are not allowed to sell items other than food to our family."
Mei Wenhua's heart suddenly rose to his throat, he had just finished taking the re-examination and was preparing for the palace examination on April 21, but he didn't notice that his father offended the Jia family again, and he also impeached his teacher, which made him have the face to visit in the future, and how to face those who would take the exam in the same year.
Thinking of this, Mei Wenhua's face turned crimson with excitement: "Why do you have to get along with the Jia family!"
"You don't understand!"
"I understand!"
Mei Wenhua said excitedly: "Don't you just want to step on the Jia family's top position, and then gain fame in the clear stream. Why can't you just calm down?
Let's do something practical, talk about the country!"
"You don't understand!"
Mei Sheng picked up the hoe and picked it up: "The Chen family has been wiped out, if our father and son want to save their lives, we must stand firm, so don't think about the little girl of the Xue family."
Mei Wenhua turned around and ran out.
.........
At the end of the hour, the deafening sound of firecrackers sounded in the West Market, and Xue Pan took the lead and personally walked out of the gate with a crackle holding a firecracker provoked by a bamboo pole.
A group of Xue family servants all carried firecrackers and set them off lively.
Under the watchful eye of the guards, Zhang Renli, the six-year-old Marquis of Shouning, threw a handful of copper coins with red paper from the second floor to the street, and countless people who watched the excitement rushed up to pick up the copper coins all over the ground.
Xue Pan handed the bamboo pole to the little maid, and said to everyone, "Everyone, Shiweitian is open today, please take care of it in the future." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and tore off the red cloth on the door plaque, and the three bright gold characters of "Food for the Sky" were particularly dazzling.
Then, a small servant brought a very large poster and placed it in front of the door, with two lines of big characters written on it: The people take food as the sky, and everyone who comes is a guest; Customers are divided into good and evil, and evil customers are doubled.
A guy from the shop stood in front of the door with a gong, and while striking the gong, he shouted, "All dishes will be discounted for seven days, and the drinks will be free for free.....
The crowd applauded.
In the crowd, many people went out with gloomy faces.
Xue Pan and Jia Yun stood in front of the door and looked at it, and asked, "Hey, how is it?" I'm smart."
Jia Yun smiled, "It's just that the words aren't good."
In less than half an hour, the news spread all over Shenjing City, and immediately caused quite a stir.
The opening of Food for the Sky, some people rejoice, and some people hate, happy that they finally don't have to suffer with their families, of course, the price is a lot more expensive. The hateful person is the shamelessness of cursing the Jia family behind his back, not only taking advantage of the fire to rob, but also being a blatant disgusting person.
Will sleep during the day
