These are all thanks to the acupuncture and phlebotomy therapy of the chief imperial physician Hua Chen.

The chamberlain brought over a round stool, and Yuan Zhi sat on the edge of the head of his father's bed.

Everyone shy away.

"Father, I feel good."

"Don't worry, I can still support you for at least half a year."

"Heaven bless, my father will be able to live a long and healthy life." Yuan Zhi complimented.

In fact, he heard Hua Chen say that His Majesty's heart rate is very slow, and he often falls into a coma, maybe he will not wake up if he is in a deep coma that time.

"I know everything that happened last night, you don't have to deliberately hide it, my father can bear it, no matter what, you still managed to thwart the opponent's mutiny, I just want to hear it, what are you going to do later?"

Yuan Ren directly cut off, this is the purpose of his waking up and anxious to find Yuan Zhi to enter the palace.

"Back to my father, my sons thought that this mutiny was very serious and must be severely punished, especially the manipulators behind the scenes..."

"You're going on a killing spree, didn't enough people die last night?"

Before Yuan Zhi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Ren, "The manipulator behind the scenes is Cao Qichang, are you going to behead him all over the house?" ”

"It's... Of course, did my father think it was inappropriate? Yuan Zhi wondered.

"It's not that it's wrong, it's that the time has not come." Yuan Ren raised his voice slightly, and he felt panting and tight.

"Father, don't get excited, speak slowly, and your sons will listen." Yuan Zhi hurriedly stroked his chest with his palm.

Yuan Ren rested for a while, took a few breaths and continued:

"Half a year ago, at the beginning of your reign in charge of the country, I gave you two Dharma protectors to help you stabilize your position, and specifically reminded you not to be in a hurry, because if you use too much medicine, there will be a counterforce, but you didn't fully listen to it, or although you heard it, you didn't hear it."

"There is a way that is frozen three feet is not a day's cold, the gate valve force headed by Cao Fu is deeply rooted in hundreds of thousands, you have only been in power for half a year, and you have been in power for half a year, and you have begun to rectify it vigorously and resolutely, and you are so eager to achieve the result, it is to push most of the gate valves to Cao Qichang's camp, especially those high-ranking families who are swaying from side to side, and their butts are not clean, ask you for your father, which official is in this world, and his butt is completely clean? Behind an official is a family, sharing prosperity and disgrace, which is the common problem of the family. ”

"Zhi'er, you have to learn restraint, it's not a good thing to be too sharp, learn to tolerate appropriately, use your strength to push forward, unite most of the noble families, use a variety of means to disintegrate and divide the opponent's camp, remember to force people too much."

After saying so much, although the speed of speech was very slow, Wonren was physically exhausted and had to stop to catch his breath.

"What the father said is what the emperor said, the sons and daughters have kept it in mind, and they have been patient, but this time they are forcing people too much, and they want to cause the sons and daughters to die, despise the imperial power, and try to rebel against the throne, this is probably not tolerated by the law of the country." Yuan Zhi said cautiously.

"Rebellion and usurpation? Who? Do you have conclusive evidence? Cao Qichang only admitted that they supported the Jin king's struggle for the prince, which was a political disagreement, and belonged to the party struggle and palace fighting, and they did not want to overthrow the Yuan rule. Yuan Ren emphasized.

Yuan Zhi was stunned, but he didn't expect this kind of theoretical rhetoric.

But it's right to think about it.

Whether it is Yuan Zhi or Yuan Xuan ascending the throne, they are both princes of the Yuan family, and for Yuan Ren, it is actually the same.

It's just that Yuanzhi doesn't have strong relatives, and it will be able to ensure that the country will not change color in the future.

"Ke'er Chen is the prince set up by his father's edict himself, they are hypocritical, trying to assassinate the prince is disobedient, in addition, they also sent hundreds of assassins to attack Zichen Hall and Funing Palace, isn't this a rebellion?"

As a last resort, Yuan Zhi argued, but in a low tone.

"Whether it's a false edict, or sending assassins to attack Zichen Palace, and that sentence, do you have ironclad evidence that Cao Qichang did it, and he is the manipulator behind the scenes? He must not be convinced in his heart, and immediately arrest the suspects and others for interrogation, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to pry their mouths open when he is tortured? ”

"You're too naïve, Zhi'er, who is Cao Qichang? Now what he has exposed in front of you is only the tip of the iceberg, have you mastered his henchmen and financial resources? If you force him to be in a hurry, if you really break the net, it will be a big mess in the world, don't forget, your few imperial uncles who are divided into various places, overseas Turks, Tufan, etc., any party can put you to death. ”

"But Father, is this the end of it?" Yuan Zhi couldn't help but stand up.

"Of course, we can't stop it, and we have to strictly investigate and deal with it, but Cao Qichang, Yang Du and other first-class national princes, Zhengyipin generals, you leave it to me to help you deal with it, this time, take the opportunity to reduce half of his power, and the other half will be left to you to deal with him slowly."

Yuan Ren's words, like Daigo empowerment, Yuan Zhi seems to understand probly.

Cao Qichang's power is too great to swallow in one bite, so he can be divided into two bites.

This time, it was the crown prince who was in turmoil, and Cao Qichang and his henchmen were like frightened birds, and everyone was seeking self-preservation.

Through the hands of the emperor, he took the opportunity to suppress and cut off half of their powers.

"That's... Father, what kind of means do you want to use to weaken the power in Cao Qichang's hands? ”

"This, Rong Zhen has been thinking about it for a few days, and if I have an idea, I will send a decree to let you enter the temple, now I am a little tired, you can retire... Oh yes, this time the queen mother and the king of Jin are doing well, you go to visit and appease it, there is not much time for your father, everything in the future of their mother and son, you have to take care of it, especially King Yuanxuan of Jin, maybe, he can help you manage the government. Yuan Ren said earnestly.

"The son respectfully obeys the order of the father, the child retires, and the father promises it."

After Emperor Yuan bowed, he withdrew from the bedroom, and after exchanging a few words with Hua Chen, he hurried back to the East Palace.

As soon as Luan Jia entered the gate of the East Palace, he saw kneeling on both sides of the East Palace, singing promises to welcome His Royal Highness the Prince's health and so on.

Luan Feng and Xiao Cui, the two concubines of the East Palace, also went to Yuanmen to greet them.

Yesterday the mutiny began, and when I heard that the prince was surrounded in Wangchun Pavilion, everyone panicked, and the palace was in chaos.

Luan Feng and Xiao Cui hugged each other even more, not thinking about tea and dinner, and crying profusely.

However, Luan Feng is still a bit of a brain, and she is currently the highest-ranking hostess in the East Palace, so in this case, she has to take responsibility.

First of all, she ordered someone to block the news from Concubine Lan in the Xianglan Palace.

She knew in her heart that if Concubine Lan had three longs and two shorts, once the prince came back, she would be the first person to be held responsible.

On the contrary, if she is shocked in this incident and her command is determined, the prince will definitely be able to look at her differently and favor her even more, and her harem status can be promoted to one level.

The prince got off Luan's drive, listened to Luan Feng's report, and praised it on the spot.

Then he did not rest, and arrived at the Qinzheng Hall non-stop, and summoned the ministers of the Privy Council, the Zhan Shifu, the Secret Guard, the Qianniuwei, and the Military Hall to listen to the losses suffered by yesterday's mutiny in the capital, and the political and economic assessments.

In all matters, it is necessary to issue an edict in a timely manner to appease the people.

……

Funing Palace.

In the evening of the same day.

Frightened, she had not thought about tea and dinner for two days, and the queen mother, who had never closed her eyes, collapsed on the phoenix couch in the bedroom, secretly crying.

By her side, in addition to the female official Biyu, there was only King Yuanxuan of Jin, who had been waiting in front of the queen mother's bed, never leaving an inch.

A palace maid gently put down a bowl of medicinal soup and withdrew.

This is the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor to calm the nerves and nourish the brain.

The man in black attacked Funing Palace at night, which actually didn't frighten the queen much, and what really worried her was the prince and Caofu.

On one side is his sweetheart, on the other side is his father and brother, etc.

An armed conflict finally broke out between the two sides, and only one side won to the death.

But no matter which side fails, it can kill her.

This proposition is unsolvable to her, cruel and unacceptable.

Therefore, she could only wash her face with tears.

The dormitory was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, except for the decoction rippling slightly in the golden bowl.

"Queen Mother, you can drink the medicinal soup first." Yuan Xuan said:

"Everything has calmed down, I heard that the emperor's brother is safe and sound, not a single hair is injured, and he went to Daming Palace early in the morning, met with hundreds of officials, and went to Zichen Hall to see his father."

"My grandfather and uncle are also safe and sound, the Qianniuwei who surrounded Cao Mansion last night also withdrew this morning, there will be no major incident, the queen mother can rest assured."

Overnight, Yuan Xuan seemed to have grown up and matured a lot, becoming calm and responsible, and he could comfort his mother.

The queen seemed to be in a much better mood, and actually listened to Yuan Xuan's persuasion, she stretched out her slender and pale hand, took two sips of the medicinal soup and put it down.

After drinking this power, Yuan Xuan was also helpless, and said: "Queen Mother, can you drink some porridge or eat some pastries?" ”

The queen's slender jade fingers pinched the Mianyu handkerchief, wiped her lips gently, and sighed slightly in her heart, "My mother has no appetite for the time being, and she is panicked, Xuan'er, do you know what the prince is doing today?" ”

The crown prince won a big victory, and he went to visit the emperor at the first hour, and it stands to reason that he should come to her Funing Palace, and it should be so.

But the prince has disappeared for a day, doesn't this explain the problem?

Maybe in the heart of the crown prince, everyone in Cao Mansion has to die.

"This kid didn't ask," Yuan Xuan said with a red face.

He had the same doubts in his heart.

After all, Cao Fu played the sign of supporting King Jin, although he had already given up fighting for the prince in his heart, and he also mentioned it to his uncle Cao Yanchun.

But everyone in the world knows that the King of Jin is competing for the crown, and I don't know what the prince and brother are thinking now.

"Niangniang, the slave maid inquired about something, the prince is in the East Palace all day, convening the ministers to discuss, how to appease the people..."

The female officer Biyu interjected, but before she could finish her words, the sound of ticking rain suddenly sounded outside the window, and the roof tiles rattled.

Cao Feiyan was slightly stunned, she sat up on the edge of the bed, her slender body was dizzy for a moment, she felt a little weak.

"..."

"The Queen Mother?"

The queen looked out of the house and said, "I'm afraid the prince won't come over this weather, why did it suddenly rain on this day." ”

Her expression was very depressed, and what she had been looking forward to in her heart fell and smashed to pieces.

She was anxious to know what the prince was going to do with the Cao family's people.

"The main palace has to go to the East Palace."

As she spoke, the queen prepared to get out of bed.

"Mother, your body..."

"The queen mother can't, your body is very weak and you can't go to the East Palace, if you don't let the child go, I'll go and beg the crown prince and brother."

King Yuanxuan of Jin was so anxious that he knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to plead.

There was a stalemate in the bedroom, and only the eunuch outside could be heard singing the promise, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”

This shout made the three people in the bedroom surprised and delighted, with different expressions.

Yuan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, he finally didn't have to worry about the queen mother's body, he had to travel in the rain, and the arrival of the prince was also the greatest comfort to his mother.

Jasper can also be regarded as a stone to the ground.

Yesterday, she was also unable to sleep and eat, worried about the prince's safety, and now she was anxious to see him, whether he was really as unscathed as rumored.

As for Queen Cao Feiyan, her mood can't be expressed in words.

In addition to care and love, she is now shrouded in the whole mind by the future fate of Cao Fu, a mess, cut and untied.

"Hurry up Jasper, order someone to carry water in, and the palace will wash your face and put on makeup... Let the prince wait in the outer hall for a while. ”

"Yes."

For a while, the quiet dormitory was busy, and the palace maids and eunuchs went in and out.

Yuan Zhi was placed in the main hall of the Shulan Hall.

"The royal brother has seen the crown prince and the royal brother."

King Jin came out of the bedroom and bowed to the prince very respectfully.

"Oh, Eighth Emperor Brother, what's wrong with you, hurry up and speak."

Yuan Zhi's buttocks hadn't sat down yet, and when he saw Yuan Xuan come out to take a look, he knelt down, which startled him, and quickly got up to help.

"Brother Huang is not injured." Yuan Xuan stared at the prince's face and hands, asking as he looked.

"Brother Huang didn't have anything to do, and these assassins didn't even touch the corners of Gu's clothes, which made the queen mother and brother worried." Yuan Zhi pretended to be relaxed and said.

Seeing that the imperial brother was like that, his heart was half relieved, but he was still a little apprehensive, stunned for a moment, and still said:

"Brother Huang, such a thing... Yuan Xuan wants to tell the imperial brother..."

"Oh, Eighth Brother, the rumors from the outside world are not credible, they are all people with ulterior motives, trying to fool the people under the banner of Eighth Brother, I never care, don't take it to heart."

Yuan Zhi knew what Yuan Xuan was going to say, so he raised his hand and interrupted it, so as not to be embarrassed.

"But this matter has nothing to do with Cao Fu..."Yuan Xuan was young after all, so he got to the bottom of it.

"Ouch, it's just a rumor to say that Cao Fu is not really substantiated, let's not believe it, don't say it, now the yamen is verifying, everything depends on the verification results, ah... Eighth brother, have you had dinner, but the imperial brother has not used dinner, and he came in the rain, cold and hungry, go and call the imperial dining room to deliver food, and there will be wine. ”

Yuan Zhi didn't let Yuan Xuan continue to nag, and he changed the subject.

"Hey, I'll arrange it."

Yuan Xuan got up happily and personally went outside the door to order the palace maids to make arrangements.

The conversation between the two brothers in the main hall of Shulan Hall, especially Yuan Zhi's voice, was not low.

He deliberately said it to Cao Feiyan, so as not to be embarrassed to meet later, and he still needed to explain bitterly.

He hadn't closed his eyes for the past two days, and he didn't want to say much, especially the nonsense that needed to be explained, which was very nerve-wracking.

Cao Feiyan, who was dressing up in the bedroom, was naturally a lot more relaxed when she heard it, and the heart that was blocked just now was now unblocked.

The mood is relaxed, and the natural spirit is up.

She didn't have any illness in the first place, but if she wanted to say that she was sick, it would be heart disease.

"Mother, it shouldn't be much of a problem now."

Jasper, who combed Cao Feiyan's hair and dressed up, was also happy to see that Niangniang finally smiled.

The queen regards her as a confidant, the two are like sisters, and she is of course deeply sympathetic to the mood and experience of the mother.
