Chapter 16: Unbelief and Wooing
The news that the emperor sent someone to visit King Yue in the imperial tomb was known to all parties in the capital. As soon as Liu Qi entered Chaoyangmen, all parties also received the news.
Liu Qi wanted to enter the palace, but the accompanying imperial doctor didn't need it, so he returned to his home.
Before the doctor could sit on the hot ass, someone came to the door to ask for a doctor or an excuse to visit. Within half a day, the news about King Yue's overwork, depression, and loss of life spread out.
Of course, there is news that King Yue can no longer have an heir, which is naturally confirmed again.
It's been so many years, and I heard that King Yue invited famous doctors from all walks of life, and the few cases he got were all spent on asking famous doctors everywhere. It's also pitiful. In this way, the matter of King Yue's donation of food to the victims is even more precious.
Secretly sighing and regretting the multitude.
In the palace, the imperial study.
Emperor Zhizheng quietly listened to Liu Qi's report, about the bedridden of King Yue, about his raunchy face full of stubble and unintentionally taking care of it, about his loss of appetite and not going out, as well as about his small vegetable shed, and the diagnosis of the imperial doctor......
Liu Qi said as he peeked at the emperor's face.
"When the slave saw the king of Yue, he failed to get up, and when the slave left, he did not see him. Cao Cuo sent the old slave to the palace, and wiped his tears while returning it, saying that King Yue was too bitter, and he didn't know how many decades there were......"
Saying that, he lowered his head, King Yue was such a big palace, and only a group of people who didn't know who arranged it lived there. It's a waste.
"King Yue took care of the small vegetable garden very well, and it grew better than that of the Linghu family. I heard that the people in the palace couldn't finish eating, so King Yue kindly gave the surplus to the mausoleum households, and he took a few scholars in the palace, and those dishes were cheaper than those scholars' families......"
"When the slave left, he left all the good medicine he brought to King Yue, but it was inconvenient for the imperial tomb to ask for medical treatment, and it was still not as good as the capital. If you are in the capital, it will take a moment to hire a doctor......"
Emperor Zhizheng glanced at Liu Qi leisurely, isn't this Liu Qi close to King Qin? Why did you still talk about love for King Yue?
"What does King Yue ask you for?"
Hearing the emperor's cold question, Liu Qi was so frightened that his head was sweating.
"Not yet. The king of Yue has been bedridden, and the slave only stayed in the imperial tomb for two days, and every time he entered the palace of the king of Yue with the imperial doctor and others, and never met alone, and even the imperial doctor checked the pulse of Cao Cuo's questioning. Most of the kings of Yue fell asleep with their eyes open and did not get up. β
Liu Qi swallowed his saliva in fright, and he just said more. In this palace, those who talk a lot do not live long.
Emperor Zhizheng glanced at him coldly, asked a few more words, and then waved him away. Looking at the door of the imperial study, I was distracted.
Guangyuan is so sick that he sinks? Bedridden? Sullen? It's been ten years, he has been demoted to the mausoleum for ten years, and his brothers are living happily in the capital, so he should really be depressed.
I heard that he took out all his assets, and gave up the taxes of the food in the next ten years to donate food, this is the feeling that time is running out, and all his brains are thrown away?
So what did he mean by building a library in Beijing?
Now all the students who enter Beijing, who doesn't praise the Qiya Library? Wooing students from all over the world is not like an unintentional thing.
The library not only provides accommodation for poor students, but also provides them with the work of copying books, with copper coins in the account, endless books to read to enhance knowledge, and a shelter to shelter from the wind and rain......
Emperor Zhizheng didn't think that King Yue was doing useless work.
But he was so sick...... Liu Qi said that he looked like he had no ambition, did he plan to seek justice for Guangzhu and the former queen? Don't plan to fight for Lu Guo's fairness?
Emperor Zhizheng took this fold and knocked it on the dragon case.
Since he has been in the imperial tomb for ten years, he can't see it, so it is better to call him back to Beijing and put him under his nose. The excerpt of Emperor Zheng's dragon knocking case stopped.
Glancing at the fold, he threw it on a pile of books next to him. I made a decision in my heart.
In the East Palace, Empress Shen also summoned Liu Qi to ask about the situation, and after asking, her heart was even more comfortable.
Originally, he held back a turbid air, but this disaster relief was severely suppressed by King Qin and Concubine De, and the turbidity in his heart could not be dissipated, but now he has gone most of it after listening to it.
This time, she first heard that King Yue intervened sideways and covered up all the credit of King Qin, and while she was happy, she was worried that she would drive the wolf and attract the tiger.
After all, King Yue is the first queen and the prince, if he wants to fight, he can have more weight than the brothers of King Qin and King Chu. As a result, hearing Liu Qi's report, what else is there to worry about.
His eyebrows and eyes were all smiling, and he said to the prince: "You don't have to care about King Qin jumping up and down, you sit firmly on the prince's throne, and he can't shake it." As for those officials who have been taken down, you don't have to intercede for them, just act like you don't make people think you're cold. The more you meddle, the more your father will have an opinion about you. β
"You just look at it coldly, now the world is still your father's, he can do whatever he wants, you don't have to stretch out your hand. Yours, you just wait. It is serious to do your filial piety in front of your father, and it is what you should do to be an obedient son. The other does more and does more wrong. β
The prince listened respectfully and nodded: "The sons and ministers all listen to the queen mother." β
Empress Shen glanced at him and felt that this son's means were not as good as those of King Qin, and sometimes he couldn't even match the King of Chu, but fortunately he was obedient, and the emperor liked him to be obedient the most.
That's good, he is already the crown prince, if there is no big mistake, he will not be deposed, and the courtiers will not agree.
Empress Shen's expression was relaxed, she leaned on the couch, stretched out her hands, and the two palace maids, one on the left and one on the right, painted Kodan on her nails.
"You want to use Zhao Guangyuan to deal with those two brothers and reap the benefits, but Zhao Guangyuan can use it, but King Qin has become more and more ruthless over the years, I'm afraid that Zhao Guangyuan can't make one or two moves in his hands, and this time Guangyuan has done something bad, and I guess I hate it in my heart."
Dog-eat-dog is good. Just don't let the prince be affected.
"The seventh brother is also pitiful, the library he runs is full of the hearts of students all over the world, who doesn't praise his noble deeds in the capital now? King Qin is suspicious, and I am going to send two people over to protect him, Seventh Brother. β
can't let Zhao Guangyuan die so early, otherwise he will still have some trouble dealing with the two brothers of King Qin and King Chu.
Empress Shen glanced at him leisurely, "It's a wise move for you to use Zhao Guangyuan to deal with those two brothers, he has no heirs to inherit in the future, you can give him a son, and the library will naturally be yours in the future." But you haven't thought about it, the huge Freshman Library, I heard that there are all the world's collections, there are a lot of foreign knowledge in it, unheard of, even those great Confucians are waiting in line to enter the library before dawn, you haven't thought about how he did it in the imperial tomb? β
Empress Shen felt that she couldn't take Zhao Guangyuan lightly, in case the prince underestimated the enemy and fell in love with the other party, he would cheapen others.
The prince felt that his mother was thinking too much.
"After the seventh brother injured himself, he sent people everywhere to find famous doctors, and those books were also collected from everywhere, and he was a student of Jiang Xiang, and many books were also donated by the Jiang family. And Jiang Xiang's in-laws also have a bookstore, so it is easy to donate one or two books. β
The prince didn't think there was a problem with the origin of the books in the library. For the bookstore to attract many students, the prince did not pay attention to it at all.
When he succeeds to the throne, aren't all the students in the world protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven?
"If only you had a good idea." Empress Shen persuaded a few words, but seeing that he didn't care, she just thought too much.
Anyway, the crown prince's position as the prince is very strong, and the king of Qin and the king of Chu can't shake it. Don't think that the emperor feels sorry for the brothers on his face, but he has a clear heart, and he never thought about replacing the abolished prince at all. Otherwise, the court will be turbulent, and his throne will not be stable.
And Zhao Guangyuan? A prince who has no heir, and who has a thorn in the emperor's heart, has no chance to be on the throne because he is the descendant of Lu Guogong.
Empress Shen thinks that she has been married for many years, and she still knows the emperor.
So the prince went to get close to King Yue.
Zhao Guangyuan, who was "bedridden" in the imperial mausoleum, welcomed the prince's wooing, and ordered people to accept the food and a bunch of good medicines sent by the prince, and expressed his gratitude for supporting the "sick body".
He also accepted the two people sent by the prince, and said that he had no one to use, and he was not angry, and he did not know whether they had received the food sent to the victims, and that there was a proper resettlement in the local area, and how many people chose to return to their hometowns, and the way back was easy.
said that he wanted to know these things so much that he couldn't sleep at night. Suffering from not being able to leave the imperial mausoleum and being seriously ill, the person sent by the prince was just in time, so he sent the two to Yanzhou.
After dealing with this, he scraped off the stubble on his face in the mirror, he couldn't let Xia Er see his ghostly appearance, she would be sad.
