Chapter 104: Entering the Imperial Court
When the Emperor heard the news and entered the palace, he saw Shen Yu'an, who was lying in the celebrant prison "recuperating from his injuries".
I saw that she was pale and weak.
"Minister...... The slave is unwell, and he can't salute the prince today, and the prince forgives his sins. ”
Ying Cangyu's face was complicated, "You said that if you live in the palace, you are a slave in the palace?" ”
"The slave is already a wasted person, and if he doesn't enter the palace, he is destined to not be able to enter the court as an official, so it is better to be a eunuch, barely able to stay in front of the emperor and do things, and share worries for the country."
"Shen Shizi is really loyal." The Immortal Emperor scoffed.
Shen Yu said with peace of mind, thank you for the compliment, "These are what slaves should do." ”
"Since he is a slave in the palace, then Shen Shizi should do his part as a slave."
Stygian Yu dropped such a sentence and left with a cold face.
Shen Yu'an felt inexplicable, did she be a slave and have a fart relationship with him?
After two days of cultivation, Shen Yu'an reported to the Flying Frost Hall where the emperor lived in time.
"Can you still get used to it?" The emperor asked, seeing Shen Yu'an's strange expression, he had never seen a child of the clan take the initiative to ask to be a eunuch, wasn't he worried about disgrace to the family?
Shen Yu'an smiled reluctantly, "The minister is very good, the minister gives the emperor a needle." ”
*
I stayed in the Flying Frost Hall for about half a month.
Every day, concubines and princes would come to visit the emperor, but they were all turned away.
Everyone didn't know what the emperor's situation was, and everyone couldn't sit still.
On this day, the lord of the hidden mountain entered the palace and went to the Flying Frost Hall in person, Shen Yu'an wanted to turn people away as before, but the emperor opened his mouth, "Invite people in." ”
Shen Yu'an was a little surprised.
After Nie Shen entered the palace, he did not salute, sat on the edge of the bed and checked the emperor's pulse, his face changed again and again, and after a long time, he regained his calm.
"The emperor's physical functions are gradually recovering, and according to this trend, he may be able to live for a few more years."
The emperor's heart skipped a heavy beat, and after Nie Shen's words, his heart completely fell back to his stomach, "In the past few days, I really feel that my body is very good, and I can get out of bed and walk around." ”
"Which doctor saw you?" Nie Shen asked.
The emperor's gaze swept over Shen Yu'an, and finally looked at Mu Yiqing, "It's that Doctor Mu, whose name is Mu Yiqing." ”
Nie Shen looked at Mu Yiqing, the young man was not very old, he looked like he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, at such an age, could he really have such powerful medical skills?
"Can the emperor lend me someone for half a day? The old man wanted to discuss his medical skills with this Doctor Mu. ”
Although it was an inquiry, his tone was a little stiff, with a strong force that could not be refused.
"Yes."
"The emperor is in good health, and he probably doesn't need to be old, and the old man will return to the hidden mountain."
"Good work." The emperor said bluntly.
Nie Shen left with Mu Yiqing.
Shen Yu was suspicious in peace of mind, the relationship between the emperor and the lord of the hidden mountain was a little strange, unlike the monarch and the people.
Not long after Nie Shen left, the queen, Shen Guifei, the crown prince, the second prince, the seventh prince, and the virtuous concubine came to see each other.
Rejected again.
The prince was unwilling, but he was helpless, and wanted to find out about the emperor's condition, but the palace people only said that it had improved, but refused to elaborate, causing him to feel like scratching his heart and lungs.
After about ten days, the prince presided over the court meeting as usual, and halfway, a familiar voice came, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
The emperor walked into the main hall, and Shen Yu'an, dressed in a eunuch suit, followed behind.
After a brief moment of shock, the courtiers hurriedly bowed to the ground.
"Weichen see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
The emperor walked straight into the dragon chair and sat down, his sharp and majestic gaze swept away, the court hall that was familiar in the past, in less than three months, there were even half more fresh faces, and many familiar faces were not there.
His face suddenly sank, and his sharp gaze swept towards Shen Ruicheng, he was anxious enough, he was not dead yet!
He buried his head very low, and his heart was uneasy.
He didn't expect the emperor to come suddenly.
I thought that even if the folk doctor was capable, it would take at least two or three months to see results, but it was only less than a month, and he could not only get out of bed and walk around, but also come to the court, which was too sudden.
There was no preparation in the heart.
On the other hand, the second prince was secretly happy in his heart, during this period, those courtiers who supported him were comprehensively suppressed by the crown prince, and they were basically cleared out of the court, and the Shen family was unwilling to support him, causing him to become more and more passive.
His chances of winning are dwindling.
Now that his father is healthy, he will be dissatisfied when he sees the prince's actions, which means that his opportunity has come.
After a long time, the emperor said, "Flat!" ”
"Long live Emperor Xie Wu, long live, long live!"
"Everything that happened during my stay in bed!"
Several ministers of the humerus came out and reported the recent events one by one.
The reports are all trivial and insignificant.
After listening to this, Shen Yu'an opened her mouth faintly, "At the end of last year, after the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, there was a major drought, and after the drought, there were floods, countless deaths and injuries, and corpses were everywhere. ”
"At the beginning of this year, while the emperor was in bed, a plague broke out in the flood-stricken area, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the closure of the city, sealing Shuicheng, Ancheng, and Yecheng."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered that all those infected with the plague be killed and buried on the spot, which aroused the anger of the people, and the people of the three cities are now complaining. Those who had not yet been infected shouted at the city gate every day, and even spontaneously formed a militia to rebel against the regular army of the imperial court. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered that all these Diao people be killed on the spot, why didn't they report these things? ”
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers changed their faces one after another.
The emperor's face was gloomy, and his sharp eyes swept over, "Is there such a thing?" ”
One of the ministers trembled and stepped out, "Back to the emperor, during the epidemic, the anti-thieves took the opportunity to make trouble, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent troops to suppress and arrest the anti-thieves." ”
"Lord Li is not sorry for saying this!" Shen Yu'an said coldly, "After the three cities were sealed, Mo Liufang, the owner of the Wangu Building, sent hundreds of doctors to these three cities, but they were rejected by the defenders. No entry or exit. ”
"Even food can't be delivered, and it is said that there is a fear that someone will come into contact with people inside the three cities and bring the epidemic to the outside world."
"What is the specific situation inside the three cities, the outside world does not know."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is the people who have completely abandoned these three cities and left them to fend for themselves."
"Is that the case?" The emperor's fierce eyes looked at Shen Ruicheng.
Ming Ruicheng defended, "Back to my father, due to floods and droughts earlier, the imperial court allocated millions of dollars, and now the treasury is empty, if the epidemic spreads on a large scale, the situation will be difficult to control, and the ministers can only take a solution once and for all." ”
"You fool!" The emperor rebuked angrily, "If you ignore the people of the three cities like this, how will the people of the other cities feel when they see it?" Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and if it loses the support of the people, how can the country be stable? ”
