117 Birth Accidents
As Zhou's mother expected, there was an accident in the court the next day, and several newly promoted officials impeached the palace for excessive extravagance of 'waste' fees. Others dug out the old accounts before, saying that King Mingyang was indifferent during the drought in Pingyuan County, and was very dissatisfied with King Mingyang's behavior of not saving him when he saw death.
And the emperor made a very embarrassed look, after all, Chu Chaoyang had the merit of founding the country, and if he really wanted to punish the crime for this, it would inevitably make people catch something.
Seeing that the emperor was vacillating, those who had some entanglements with Chu Chaoyang on weekdays stood up one after another, accusing Chu Chaoyang of abusing his military power, and the fact that there were so many guards around the county lord of Ning'an was evidence. claimed that if King Mingyang really had no dissenting intentions, then he should 'hand' over the military power and let the saint rest assured.
This military power is exactly what the emperor cares about, and now that someone has made a red face, of course, he is indispensable to be white-faced.
Everything developed as Chu Chaoyang expected, and just when he was about to 'hand over' the talisman that he didn't intend to leave at all, unexpectedly, the prince who was listening to the government stood up.
The crown prince counted the merits of King Mingyang over the years, and at the end suggested that the emperor, who had a calm face, let King Mingyang suspend his post for reflection. Compared with the confiscation of military power, such a disposition is not light, but it is rare for the prince to open his mouth, and the emperor still responds very face-savingly, and the eyes that circulate between King Mingyang and the prince are also a little more elegant.
As soon as the court came, the emperor went to the queen to drink tea.
The queen had already heard the prince's remarks in the main hall, and she knew that the emperor was here to ask the emperor about the guilt, so she put her posture low at the moment, just waiting for the Xiong nobles to take the emperor away when she couldn't hold her breath.
However, this time the emperor did not blindly talk about it, but took a warm route, which made the queen very uncertain. In this harem for many years, where is there still husband and wife between the two, and now that the prince has spoken for King Mingyang, he must not be mistaken by the emperor for forming a party and running a 'private'? You must know that this is what the emperor has the most scruples, so the queen did not relax at all, but instead played up 120,000 points of 'spirit' to deal with the emperor's rare good interest.
The two talked about the old days with a smile, and a little eunuch came to pass the word, saying that Xiong Guiren was unwell and asked the queen if she wanted to ask the imperial doctor.
Sure enough, it came! The queen showed concern on her face and asked, "Why is my sister sick when she is so good, go and ask Imperial Doctor Zhong to take a look." With that, she stood up and said to the emperor, "Now my sister is also Your Majesty's sweetheart, Your Majesty should also go and have a look." β
The emperor, who originally intended to stay for a while, lost interest when he saw the queen's pretended generosity, and only said lightly: "If you don't feel well, you can find the imperial doctor, but I still won't go." β
The corners of her mouth curled almost invisibly, and the queen asked gently, "Then does Your Majesty want to stay for dinner?" β
"No need, I'm going to make a deal." After that, the emperor flicked his sleeves and walked straight out of Fengyi Palace.
Chief Manager Xu carefully served' him on the cloth, and when he turned around, he nodded slightly at a little eunuch, who hurriedly lowered his head, and waited to send off the holy car, and then hurried to the palace of Xiong Guiren.
Knowing that the emperor was not coming, the bear nobleman who was wearing the 'flower' branch pursed his lips, secretly thinking that his brother had already said as instructed when he went to the court, and the emperor would come to him, why didn't he come after going to the queen?
pondering in his heart, Xiong Guiren brought a lovely smile on his face: "There is Father-in-law Lao, I don't know what else Mr. Xu has to order?" β
Receiving the reward from the palace 'girl' without squinting, the little eunuch replied honestly: "Godfather just asked the little one to come and communicate with the nobleman, and he didn't have time to speak." "In this way, there is no 'handover' generation.
Xiong Guiren didn't leave him for 'sex', let him go first, and he leaned on the beauty couch to be distracted.
Zhu Xue, the 'woman' of Shaoqing Palace, came in and reported: "Nobleman, Imperial Doctor Zhong is here, do you want to invite him in?" "After all, her master is pretending to be sick, and it won't be a mistake to come in, so she has to come and ask for instructions.
Xiong Guiren sat up and said, "Let him in." β
Zhu Xue lowered her eyebrows and curtled her knees: "Yes." Respectfully invited Imperial Physician Zhong in, and Zhu Xue stood aside.
After asking for a consultation as usual, Imperial Doctor Zhong asked Xiong Guifei to stretch out her hand to check the pulse, and this diagnosis diagnosed the happy pulse. Glancing at the nervous Xiong Guifei, he stroked his beard and reserved for a while, and then stood up and saluted respectfully, saying: "Congratulations to the nobles, congratulations to the nobles, the nobles are happy." β
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Xue, who was a personal palace maid, was stunned, she clearly remembered the nobleman's monthly letter...... How did you have a body? Although she was muttering in her heart, Zhu Xue was not stupid enough to ask such a thing that should not be asked, so she also knelt down and said hello to Xiong Guiren.
Soon the happy news reached Mr. Xu, his fingers 'touched' his smooth chin, and he said: "Let's just say that this 'girl' is a blessed one, no, there will be another little master in the palace." After that, he went to tell the emperor who reviewed the folds with a smile on his face and told the good news.
In fact, the emperor didn't see these folds at all, and he still minded the actions of the prince in the court today, and then thought of the prince's immoral behavior before, he also wavered a little. What made him most jealous was that the prince borrowed the power of King Mingyang, but in the end he made a wedding dress for others.
If this is the case, he would rather change the crown prince than risk giving up his country to someone with a foreign surname. After all, his throne was snatched from others, he didn't believe that these people didn't have the slightest dissent, this is a dragon chair, and it is the supreme right.
When he was anxious, Manager Xu brought good news, and the emperor laughed out loud and went to see the Xiong nobles.
At this time, Xiong Guiren had already changed into an elegant outfit, with long black hair draped over his shoulders, and a snow-white face lined with no fat powder, which really showed a bit of a sick look. Seeing that the emperor was coming, she struggled to sit up, saluted like a weak willow in the wind, and looked at the emperor with shyness and timidity.
Although this trick is a clichΓ©, it is also in line with the emperor's wishes, and at the moment Manager Xu is very discerning to retreat with a few subordinates, and he himself is guarding outside the 'door', lest the master have any orders.
And the news of Xiong Guiren's joy soon spread in the palace, Chu Chaoyang also heard about it, he looked at Imperial Doctor Zhong and asked, "Do you think there is something strange?" β
"Yes, the cold of Xiong Guiren's palace has not healed, but the pulse is indeed happy." Imperial Physician Zhong also looked suspicious, and guessed, "I heard that there is a 'medicine' among the people that can make people show the phenomenon of false pregnancy, I don't know ......" Chu Chaoyang frowned slightly, and said: "Since you know that something is wrong, why do you still say it lightly?" "Lord Wang, if the noble person really used the 'medicine', but the lower official said that it was okay, and the noble person insisted on changing the imperial doctor, wouldn't the little one also commit a crime?" Imperial Doctor Zhong said, "Furthermore, although this 'medicine' can make people show the pulse of pregnancy, it can't make people really pregnant, but I'm afraid that it won't be long before it will flow away." β
