Chapter 159: Invitation to Battle
More than two dozen imperial doctors ran all the way into the apse.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been frail and sickly since childhood, and he always gets sick several times a year. There have been a few times when I fainted like this for no reason. Especially in the past two years, there have been frequent attacks, which is worrying.
A group of imperial physicians gathered around the bedside to consult His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and finally came to a conclusion. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fainted due to excessive emotions and blood surges.
Hearing the news, Queen Su, who hurried over, had red eyes and sat on the edge of the bed and wept.
The vigorous anger in Emperor Yongming's heart was replaced by a strong sense of self-blame and guilt, and he whispered to Empress Su: "Today's incident is strange, I am angry, scolding Jun'er." He couldn't stand it for a while, so he fainted. ”
Queen Su choked up and said, "The concubine doesn't know what happened. However, Jun'er has always been considerate and filial, and she will not quarrel with the emperor for no reason. I implore the emperor to dissipate his anger, otherwise, Jun'er will wake up, and his heart will not be at peace. ”
Emperor Yongming still remembered Meng Xizhi at this time, and immediately responded: "I'm not angry. ”
Queen Su wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and thanked her in a low voice. Under the cover of the handkerchief, he glanced at Xu Jing on the side.
Xu Jing understood and retreated quietly.
In the matter of the court staff before, Queen Su obviously got the news earlier.
Emperor Yongming was mediocre, and the behavior of the early dynasty today made the ministers even more chilled. Fortunately, there is also a benevolent prince and a virtuous queen mother, who can calm people's hearts a little.
As soon as Xu Jing came out, he was surrounded by several princes of the vassal kingdom and asked about the prince's situation. Several Shangshu adults frowned, and their faces were full of worry. Dingguo Gong also looked calm.
"Rest assured, everyone." Xu Jing raised his voice slightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine, just rest for a few days." ”
The ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Yongming couldn't count on such a faint monarch, so everyone endured it and waited for the benevolent prince of the East Palace to ascend the throne.
Xu Jing walked quickly to the outside of the Jinluan Palace.
Meng Yushi had already fainted. Xu Shiyi, who was guarding the side, hurriedly whispered: "Shizi, what should I do now?" ”
Xu Jing's eyes flashed, and he responded in a low voice: "Without the emperor's edict, Meng Yushi can't leave the palace for the time being." A few of you come over and send Meng Yushi to the East Palace, and first clean his wounds and apply some medicine. ”
All the imperial physicians were gathered around the prince, and now it was too eye-catching to ask the imperial physician to deal with the injuries first.
Xu Shiyi and the others have practiced martial arts since they were young, and they have not suffered many external injuries, and they all have good external injuries on their bodies. Xu Shiyi squatted down, directly picked up the unconscious Meng Yushi, and walked quickly to the East Palace.
Murong Shen watched coldly from beginning to end, but did not stop it, the corners of his mouth were full of sneers.
This Xu Jing, who is a grasshopper in June, can't jump for a few days. I still have the leisure to save people.
Xu Jing turned around, his eyes unbiasedly caught a glimpse of Murong Shen's sneer. I should have turned a blind eye, but somehow, the breath in my heart suddenly came up.
Xu Jing stopped and glanced at Murong Shen: "I heard that Captain Murong is the number one master in the Praetorian Guard, and I want to learn a thing or two, I don't know when Captain Murong will be free?" ”
A cold glow flashed in Murong Shen's eyes: "There is a lot of inconvenience in the palace, and when the prince leaves the palace, he will be accompanied at any time." ”
"Good! Then six days later, this prince will be waiting for you in the Beihai Palace. Xu Jing said: "If Captain Murong is afraid and doesn't dare to come to the door, it is not impossible for this son to go to Murong's house." ”
Murong Shen snorted coldly in his heart, and was about to fight back, when he heard Xu Jing say again: "Wait, I, the prince of the royal family, personally went to visit a five-rank captain, I don't have anything, I'm just afraid that someone will chew his tongue behind his back, saying that Captain Murong doesn't know the rules up and down." Let's come to Beihai Palace! ”
Murong Shen said coldly: "The last general will definitely go in six days." I only hope that the fists of the prince are as powerful as the tongue. ”
Xu Jing laughed: "That's not it, this Shizi's fist is much more powerful than his tongue." ”
Murong Shen: "......"
An hour later, the prince woke up leisurely.
What the prince said to Emperor Yongming, the ministers don't know. I only know that the Son of Heaven issued an edict to spare Meng Yushi's following crimes, and ordered the imperial doctor to treat Meng Yushi's injuries.
The ministers who had been waiting outside all breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Shangshu sighed: "Meng Yushi's life can be regarded as picking it up. The official position was also retained. ”
Chen Dong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, poured cold water on his head: "In the emperor's edict, he only said that he spared Meng Yushi, and did not mention the most important thing. What's there to be happy about? ”
The ministers were speechless.
Yes, Emperor Yongming still had to spend countless gold and silver and omen to build the imperial mausoleum. The civil unrest in the state cannot be unjust, and the root cause of the problem is still there.
Hubu Shangshu sighed: "Okay, if the army wants to be dispatched, it can't be without grain and grass." All the officials have been wronged this year and have suspended their salaries. Wait for next year's spring harvest to come up, and then reissue it! ”
Tobe Shangshu turned his head and left first, his steps heavy.
The rest of the ministers were silent for a moment, and then they left together.
……
In the evening of the same day, Zhao Xiyan learned about today's court meeting from his eldest uncle Zhao Yuanren, and he was also shocked: "How is Meng Yushi now?" ”
Zhao Yuanren sighed: "At that time, thanks to the timely arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the prince tried his best to stop Murong Shen of Shi Tingcane. Otherwise, Meng Xizhi would be killed by the living rod outside the Jinluan Palace. ”
Zhao Xiyan was silent.
At this time in her previous life, she was trapped in Zhou Sui's military tent. She entered the capital a few years later.
During this period, the capital has undergone many changes. The crown prince died of illness, the Son of Heaven was held hostage by Murong Shen's father and son, Dingguo Gong died in battle, and Zhongyong Hou died of sudden illness...... She had never experienced any of these things herself.
However, the ups and downs of the past few months have been very different from the previous life. Murong Shen was unwilling to live under others, and repeatedly made moves in secret, disturbing the court and stirring up the storm.
Zhao Yuanren didn't know what Zhao Xiyan was thinking, and continued to sigh: "What happened today really made the ministers feel cold. Jizhou and the state rebelled one after another, and maybe soon there will be civil unrest in other states and counties. At such times, the emperor did not think about how to calm people's hearts and insisted on repairing the imperial mausoleum. It's really not Mingjun's doing. ”
Zhao Xiyan said suddenly: "This faint monarch, Dajin will soon be destroyed in his hands." ”
Zhao Yuanren: "......"
Zhao Yuanren's whole body was shocked, and he blurted out: "Crescent moon, don't talk nonsense!" ”
Zhao Xiyan said lightly: "It's just me and my uncle here, why not talk about what is in your heart." I'm not the only one who thinks so now. ”
Zhao Yuanren was speechless, and could only sigh gloomily.
The next day, Meng Yushi was sent back to Meng's mansion.
Two days later, Zhao Xiyan went to visit Mengfu.
Mrs. Meng's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her appearance was haggard: "Thank you Miss Zhao Liu for visiting in person." Then he led Zhao Xiyan into Meng Yushi's study.
