The faces of the crowd turned pale.

Meng Zhici came back to his senses and began to curse again: "You don't? You have committed a mortal sin! It is a great gift to be buried in peace! ”

Pan Suqiu sneered: "My Pan family has come to this point, it's not all the fault of this dog emperor, everyone here has a share!" ”

This sentence was like stabbing a hornet's nest, Xie Songzhao didn't speak, Jiang Ning spoke first: "Not all?!" What are you daydreaming about? This matter is all caused by this dog emperor! The soldiers died in a hundred battles at the border pass, and he exchanged grain and sold it for money! You didn't collect evidence to rehabilitate your Pan family, but instead colluded with his son and wiped the real stigma on your Pan family! ”

Pan Suqiu opened her mouth and couldn't speak, the prince asked her to help her up, and promised: "Lonely, you will rehabilitate the Pan family, as long as you explain clearly." ”

The Criminal Department took away Pan Suqiu and Concubine Xian, Meng sent a message to draft a document to denounce the traitors, the Ministry of Industry began to repair the Taihe Hall and the palace wall, and Ge Lao and others assisted the prince to sit in Yandu. The Empress Dowager decreed that Emperor Chengde was too seriously injured and frightened and was not yet sober, and the crown prince was in charge of the country.

Looking south of the river.

"Didn't help, what you said before was right, I'm still too young, I ......" Gu Mingchao sat on the edge of the collapse after giving him the medicine and said in a muffled voice.

Xie Songzhao had two long cuts on his right hand that were deep in the bones, and his wrist was seriously damaged, so he was afraid that he would not be able to lift a pen for several months. Gu Mingchao washed his hair, but after changing it several times, the water was all dyed red.

Xie Songzhao was nothing, glanced at him and said, "If it weren't for the five-beam crown you brought the day before yesterday, you wouldn't be humming now, but crying for the prince." ”

Gu Mingchao was so angry that he threw the handkerchief back into the basin and said, "Crying fart." ”

Xie Songzhao said: "You are fifteen this year, how can you learn to speak nonsense?" ”

Gu Mingchao didn't bother to pay attention to him, glanced at his bruised face, and said for a long time: "Xie Songzhao, if your face is not blue, I can still see that you are smiling merryly, and now I think you look like ......"

"Like what?"

"Ming Dynasty, don't pay attention to him, he loves to tease people whenever he is sick in bed." Jiang Ning came in with the medicine, "It's not hot, you can drink it." ”

As soon as Gu Mingchao helped Xie Songzhao up a little bit, Jiang Ning pinched his nose and poured him into it, making Gu Mingchao stunned. Jiang Ning explained: "He rubs when he drinks medicine, so it's the fastest." ”

Gu Mingchao nodded, and said in his heart, this is really a good brother.

After pouring a bowl of medicine, Xie Songzhao stopped talking, Jiang Ning looked at it and said, "Oh, it's okay, it's just that the medicine is a little bitter, and it's okay after that." Rest assured, he will be skinny again in less than half an hour. With that, he took the bowl and left.

Gu Mingchao looked at Xie Songzhao and blinked, then laughed breathlessly beside his bedside, and finally wiped tears from Xie Songzhao's resentful eyes and said, "Songzhao, is the medicine delicious?" It turns out that there is still this way to make your mouth not speak~ Oops......"

He was in a good mood and went out with the basin to change the water.

Zhengyang Palace.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty is too injured, but he will come back to recuperate." Hu Yu, the head of the Tai Hospital, followed the queen's side and reported in detail, "Concubine Shuniang didn't hurt the key at that moment, but Your Majesty can't work for political affairs in the future." ”

The queen smiled and said, "Courtyard Chief Hu, go and tell Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not believe the words of this palace." ”

After listening to Emperor Chengde, he stared at Hu Yu, and a few words popped out of his mouth: "I, you, you, quack!" Wildly...... Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense! ”

The queen held his fingertips and said affectionately: "Your Majesty, look at you, why are you still hiding from medical treatment." Hu Yuanshou didn't say that the concubine also ordered the prince to share your worries. He looked at Tang Pozi again and said to Wan Shen: "This palace knows that you are the most thoughtful, and Your Majesty is now like this, go and invite the prince to listen to the training, so as to know where the importance of state affairs is." ”

Wan Shen took the order and left, Emperor Chengde's eyes were about to pop out, and the queen looked at him and suddenly gave him a slap: "Livestock!" Changle is only seven years old, how can you do it?! ”

"Niangniang, Your Highness has arrived." Koto Yu lowered his head and announced outside the screen.

The crown prince walked to the edge of the collapse, and the queen glanced at him and said, "You will be the king immediately, and your mother will teach you one last thing." ”

"Yes, son, listen to the training." The prince knelt down and said.

The queen sat in the circle chair on the side of the collapse, her eyes twisted and turned, as if she had gone back to many years ago. She asked, "Do you know why the first emperor chose me to be the next empress?" ”

The prince said: "This is what my son doesn't understand the most. The Jiangzuo family is looking forward to the head of the Xie family; Among the generals, my uncle had an army of 300,000 and could talk to generals from all walks of life; Wenqi, the world is full of Wenqi, the north Kong, the south Xie. This can really threaten the existence of the royal family. The son is stupid, please let the mother make it clear. ”

The queen stroked the gold thread on her sleeve and said: "Yes, for the sake of the king, the most intolerable thing is that there are others sleeping soundly on the side of the couch, but Emperor Chongming chose me among the many noble daughters of the family." Because I can contain the Xie family. ”

The prince was puzzled, and the queen smiled: "I was the old man who was held in the palm of my hand by all my brothers and sisters, and even the princess was not as good as me." The Xie family can accept concubines but not concubines, even if the wife has nothing to do, they can also raise the sons of their brothers. So we have a very good relationship in our family, and we get along like sisters. And when I entered the palace, I restrained the Northwest Military Power and Jiangzuo Xie's family. ”

The prince said: "The Xie family can be called a powerful minister." ”

The queen said: "Yes, but you must know that everyone has a weakness and can be contained." Although Xie Songzhao is not his brother's biological son, he attaches great importance to the Xie family. The Xie family treats him like a parent, he was born a fluttering peng, and it is impossible to abandon this surname in this life. ”

The prince kowtowed and said, "My son understands." ”

The queen looked at Emperor Chengde on the couch and sighed: "The first emperor was confused, and he was finally smart, but he was ruined by you." Looking at the long-standing prince, he said: "From today on, you are the king of the Great Zhou, and you are lonely in the south." ”

After the prince left, the queen drank two rounds of tea, and Emperor Chengde woke up slowly.

"Poisonous woman—poisonous woman!" Emperor Chengde coughed out two sentences heartbreakingly.

The queen said: "I could have been lawless for a lifetime, but I have been in this deep palace for twenty years!" You're not an emperor at all! What will you be? Yes? You only count people! ”

Emperor Chengde coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his words were neat, he cried while talking, as if the queen had lost him, "I was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women." I don't know how to scheming, I only calculate, I count my sons, my daughters, and my women...... Do you think I'm willing? Yes? I'm scared too! Back then, fathers and sons killed each other, brothers fought against each other, monarchs and ministers defected, and powerful ministers rose around, I was afraid that enough was enough, and I wanted to fight! ”

The queen looked at him and said with pity on him, "It's a pity that you missed the best time." When you want to fight, the overall situation will be decided, and you can only spend days and nights as flies and dogs, like rats in the gutter! ”

Emperor Chengde had never seen her so fierce, and in his impression, his wife had always been dignified and generous, and she was stunned for a while. When he came back to his senses, he coughed again, his throat was like someone tearing open the pain of scraping with a knife, he clasped the queen's wrist, looked at her, and said in a hoarse voice: "I ...... I have watched the Xie family grow up step by step, and my sons and nephews are all talents. Xie Songzhao has been the leader of Chengde for six years, but he has been promoted to Zuoqing in three years!

In the eighth year of Chengde, he led his soldiers to Chen Guo to negotiate, but Chen Guo's proton failed to return to China, and Chen Guo also sent 200,000 taels of silver every year. At that time, I knew that the Xie family would not go out to the west again, and Xie Songzhao was a powerful minister!

"Now Xie Heng is still here, Xie Songzhao is a loyal minister, if Xie Heng goes, what about Xie Songzhao? He is not the son of the Xie family, and his surname can be discarded, how can you conclude that Xie Songzhao will regard the Xie family as his roots?! I do all this so that there will be a peaceful world in the future! ”

He said every word of blood, and every word was heartbroken, but the queen looked at him with the eyes of a fool: "Stupid! If Xie Songzhao can't stay, someone will solve him! He is not a saint, he wants to return to his roots and his soul to his hometown, this is the last place in his heart that he can't give up! ”

Emperor Chengde let go of his hand and collapsed on the couch, looking at the top of the tent with blank eyes, and there was another tearing cough, but no one paid attention to this Ninety-Five Supreme.

He wanted to say, Zhirong, this iron bucket-like country has also trapped me for 20 years. Back then, the young man who rode horses and Yandu became a trapped beast in a cage. Qin Zheng said that she wants to see lotus flowers for the rest of her life, and I also want to ride horses on the long street of Yandu for the rest of my life......

He thought that the newcomers who had recently entered the palace were disrespectful to the queen in every way, but the queen had never embarrassed them, and now he was afraid that it was time to make a move......

He remembered his mother's deathbed words, the queen mother and the queen are both brave and resourceful good women, even if they turn against each other in the future, they must not be embarrassed.

Thinking of Gu Mingchao's saying that Xie Songzhao only wanted to debate and negotiate with others, and didn't like to be tired, he thought, where did his uncle force him......

Thinking of the wooden hairpin that Concubine Shu pierced into her body, but she still didn't kill him, Concubine Shu still couldn't bear to let Zhirong clean up the mess......

Thinking about it, another mouthful of blood coughed up, Wan Shen came in to wipe him clean and persuaded him to calm down and recuperate.

South County.

Zhong Wan had just repaired the northern city wall with the exiles, and as soon as he got a bowl of tea to drink, he heard someone say, "Qin Taishou said that the king of Chu rebelled, and if you seize this person, you can ask for a favor that you can accept." ”

Zhong Wan went over and asked, "Big brother, can we ask for grace if we catch it?" ”

The rough man looked up at him and nodded vaguely yes.

Zhong Wan calculated that it wouldn't be long before he could go to see his sister. The king of Chu will definitely come to kill him, and if the things in his hands are obtained by the crown prince, it is impossible for the king of Chu to defect to him even if he rises up. Zhong Wan used the money he saved to buy a dagger to carry with him day and day, and in the dead of night, he went to the back of the house to sharpen the knife, he didn't want to escort the king of Chu back to Yandu, the night was long and dreamy, he just wanted the head of the king of Chu to change a grace.

Looking south of the river.

Yandu's wind tonight was so cold that it was bone-chilling, Gu Mingchao closed the window and added more charcoal fire to him, Xie Songzhao wrapped in the quilt and stared at the medicine, Gu Mingchao sighed: "You have to drink it even if you stare at it for a night." ”

Xie Songzhao sat cross-legged, staring at it for a long time but refused to drink, he asked Gu Mingchao: "Do you think Jiang Ning can catch up with the King of Chu?" ”

Gu Mingchao put the medicine to his mouth: "I don't know, but I know you have to drink the medicine." ”

"I ......" Xie Songzhao swallowed the medicine in his stomach with the words of resistance, and Gu Mingchao pinched his nose and poured it in.

Xie Song rolled up the quilt and retracted it, and said nothing all night. Gu Mingchao sat on the edge of the collapse with a smile and read a book.
