Chapter 27: The Edict
galloped all the way to the vicinity of the palace, in order to avoid alarming the patrolling Jinyi guards, the two dismounted and walked to the palace gate in a hurry.
When he arrived at the main gate, Zhu Zhanji's pupils couldn't help shrinking, and his face changed greatly: "Something really happened!" ”
At this time, the palace gate was actually open, and a team of brocade-clothed guards rushed out in a hurry.
It's less than four watches, and during this time period, the palace gate will never be opened, and the only explanation is ...... The sky fell.
"Come into the palace!"
This time, there was no need for Li Qing to say, Zhu Zhanji shouted urgently, and rushed away.
Li Qing was not slower than him, and even left him behind, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he encountered a group of little eunuchs rushing out in a hurry.
"What happened?" Li Qing's voice trembled.
"Huh? You are...... Yongqing Hou? Xiao Lizi recognized Li Qing, "Why are you back?" ”
"What happened?" Li Qing asked again, so anxious that he was about to kill.
Xiao Lizi came back to his senses and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty...... It's only in the morning and night, and the six ministries, the cabinet, and the orphan are urgently transmitted. ”
"What?!"
Zhu Zhanji, who caught up later, heard this, and his pupils shook: "My father is critically ill?" ”
"Where is the emperor?" Li Qing's tone trembled slightly.
Xiao Lizi saw that Li Qing was going to kill someone, so he also omitted to give Zhu Zhanji a salute at the moment, and said directly, "In the Qianqing Palace." ”
Li Qing rushed with his legs, and Zhu Zhanji followed.
……
Qianqing Palace.
Xiaopang's face was pale, even his lips were white, his breath was weak, and his life was like a hanging thread, and Queen Zhang knelt in front of the bed, constantly wiping her tears.
"Your Majesty, Zhanji hasn't come back yet, you have to hold on."
Xiaopang didn't speak, he was forcibly taking a breath, for fear that this breath would disperse and he would no longer be able to speak.
His face was covered with sweat, his fat body trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of anxiety and regret......
He understood that he couldn't wait for his son and Li Qing.
Even, if the Sixth Ministry and the Cabinet come slowly, he may not be able to wait.
He raised his hand tremblingly and pointed to the small cabinet opposite.
Zhang was stunned, then understood, got up and walked over.
Opening the cabinet, a long box appeared in front of her, Zhang's fingers trembled, and she understood what was inside.
- Edict!
"Your Majesty, you have to open ......"
"Your Majesty!"
A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Zhang's words.
The next moment, Li Qing hurried to the front.
"Father."
There was another anxious call, and Zhu Zhanji also rushed in.
The two most important people in his heart appeared one after another, giving Xiaopang a little strength, he struggled to speak, Li Qing took the lead: "Don't talk yet." ”
Li Qing reached for his wrist, and after a moment, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
The problem is much more serious than he thought, this time it's not that the doctor is incompetent, Xiaopang is really at the limit.
"Don't be afraid, there's me." Li Qing comforted softly, and the true qi in his body frantically entered.
Chubby's complexion began to change, his body no longer trembled, the pain on his face gradually disappeared, and his lips became bloody.
"It's going to be fine." Li Qing comforted while crossing into his true anger, "It's going to get better." ”
Chubby nodded with difficulty, and his expression gradually relaxed.
"I want a silver needle." Li Qing turned around and said.
Zhang shouted to the imperial doctor who was waiting on the side, "Is there a silver needle for acupuncture?" ”
A doctor hurriedly opened the medicine box and presented the needle box.
Li Qing opened the needle box, simply eliminated the poison, and pricked Guan Yuan with one needle and Qi Hai with the other.
After only two stitches, Li Qing stopped, and while gently twisting the silver needles, he observed the change in Xiao Fat's expression.
Xiaopang was originally like a balloon that was about to explode at any time, but with the frantic input of true qi and the twisting of the silver needle, it gradually calmed down.
Two quarters of an hour later, Chubby's face finally turned bloody, and his expression was no longer painful.
"Green ......"
"It's okay, it's going to be fine," Li Qing's voice was gentle, "I'll keep watch over it, don't talk, relax." ”
Chubby squeezed out a smile, his nervous heart relaxed, and he fell asleep.
Li Qing gave Zhu Zhanji a look, and the latter understood, and whispered: "It's all scattered, scattered ......"
The imperial physician and the eunuch bowed silently and retreated.
Zhu Zhanji was afraid of disturbing Li Qing's diagnosis and treatment, so he pulled his mother out of the inner hall.
When he came to the outer hall, he asked impatiently: "Queen Mother, why is my father like this?" ”
Zhang hated and said: "It's all those bastards, your father and the emperor issued an edict that officials, nobles, and vassal kings are not allowed to participate in maritime trade, and they are like stepping on their tails, jumping higher than anyone else, and joining forces to bully your father;
Your father is already tired, and if this group of people makes trouble and doesn't work, he is even more tired, and the officials are not restless...... That's right, especially that Li Shimian! ”
She gritted her teeth: "Your father will be like this, he is angry, Zhanji, you must not let him go." ”
"Li Shimian ......" Zhu Zhanji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "What about others?" ”
"Imprisoned by your father." Zhang's Road.
Zhu Zhanji nodded, and said murderously: "Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't keep him!" ”
Suddenly seeing the box in the hand of the queen mother, Zhu Zhanji asked, "What is this?" ”
Zhang's expression was sad, "The edict left by your father, you came back as soon as you took it out." ”
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Zhang handed it to Zhu Zhanji, "Son, you take a look first, if there is anything unreasonable......
In Zhu Zhanji's scorching gaze, Zhang changed his words: "Have a mental preparation in advance. ”
Zhu Zhanji took the box and opened it, and Zhang also wanted to take a look, but as soon as he got closer, Zhu Zhanji closed it, and the meaning was self-evident.
Zhang's bitterness: Your mother also guards?
"I don't look at it, you can look at it." Zhang took two steps back, his face covered in injuries.
Only then did Zhu Zhanji reopen the box, unfold the edict and look at it, and soon, his face changed.
Incomprehension, disbelief, and even anger were all intertwined, making his face extremely ugly.
"Son, what is written in the edict?" Zhang said curiously.
Zhu Zhanji didn't answer, closed the edict and put it back in the box, and picked up another list.
At this look, his face changed again, and even with it, his gaze at Zhang's family also changed.
"Son, what are you...... What's wrong? Zhang looked at his son's suspicious and suspicious gaze, and his heart was even more apprehensive, and at the same time, he was infinitely aggrieved and angry.
gave birth to him and raised him, but her son treated her like this, which made her a mother how could she not be angry.
"What did your father say?" Zhang's voice trembled, and he was angry.
Zhu Zhanji closed the box and said in a cold tone: "Please go back to the harem first." ”
After a pause, he added, "It's best not to move around randomly." ”
"Zhu Zhanji......!" Zhang's defense was broken, "The old lady gave birth to you and raised you ......"
"My father is in danger and is being treated urgently, what is the purpose of your loud voice, Queen Mother?" Zhu Zhanji asked coldly.
"You ......" Zhang cried angrily, wiped his tears and turned around and left.
Zhu Zhanji's expression changed continuously, and the content of the edict made it difficult for him to accept, and he even began to hesitate, and he didn't know who to talk to.
Suddenly, he realized something and hurriedly walked out of the main hall.
"Someone!"
The little eunuch who was waiting hurriedly stepped forward: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?" ”
"The people of the Sixth Ministry and the Cabinet are here, let them go back immediately, and those who violate the order ...... Arrested in prison! ”
After a pause, he changed his words: "Go to the palace gate immediately and lock the palace, no one is allowed to come in, violators will be regarded as rebellion, and tell them that their father is fine." ”
The two little eunuchs looked at Zhu Zhanji sneeringly, a little at a loss, obviously the emperor was dying, what kind of trouble is this?
Could it be... The prince wants to ......
"Don't go yet!"
"Ahh Be! "The two little eunuchs woke up: whatever, it's always wrong to obey orders, we just eat together, it's right if we don't mix, Mingzhe protects himself, Mingzhe protects himself......
……
Zhu Zhanji sat weakly on the chair, looking at the box in his hand, his head was about to explode.
At this time, Li Qing walked out.
Zhu Zhanji perked up and stepped forward, "How is my father?" ”
"It's okay for now." Li Qing said in a deep voice: "But... It is also not optimistic. ”
"Is my father poisoned?" Zhu Zhanji asked again.
Li Qing looked at him in surprise, "Why do you ask that?" ”
"You just have to tell me if it's poisoned?"
Li Qing shook his head: "What's wrong with you?" ”
He could see that Zhu Zhanji was very wrong at this moment, not simply sad about his father's critical illness, but ...... His face was full of suspicion, as if no one was worthy of his trust.
"What the hell is going on?" Li Qing asked.
Zhu Zhanji looked at him directly, word by word: "Can I trust you?" ”
Li Qing asked rhetorically: "What do you think?" ”
Zhu Zhanji looked at Li Qing fixedly, for a long time, and handed over the box in his hand, "This is the edict of my father, can you take a look?" ”
"Edict?"
Li Qing's eyes narrowed, took it unceremoniously, and opened it.
Soon, his eyes froze.
[Officials are not allowed to compete with the people for profit, and neither can the king, and stop the West after my death. 】
"Keep watching, see the end." Zhu Zhanji said.
Li Qing sank down and continued to look behind.
[The north and south supply of 100 million labor, the army and the people are in difficulty, the four directions are up, Xian belongs to Nanjing, and Si Guwu is the heart. 】
Brief summary: stop the West and move back to Nanjing!
Li Qing looked stupid, went to the West and moved the capital to Shuntian, these two policies can be said to be the brainchild of Zhu Di, and this edict has been changed.
"It can't be!" Li Qing said categorically, "Your father would not issue such an edict. ”
Zhu Di buried himself in Yong, how could Xiaopang do such a rebellious thing, and besides, he himself deeply agreed with the national policy of moving the capital to Shuntian.
Although Chubby is critically ill, it does not affect his brain, and he will not do such a foolish thing.
"That's why I asked if your father had been poisoned." Zhu Zhanji squinted his eyes and said, "This edict is most likely tampered with." ”
"Who do you suspect?" Li Qing asked.
Zhu Zhanji's eyes lowered, "Empress." ”
"Huh?" Li Qing was shocked again, "Your mother? ”
Zhu Zhanji nodded.
"This ......" Li Qing was embarrassed, he finally understood why Zhu Zhanji had the mentality of 'no one is worth believing'.
He even suspects his mother!
Zhu Zhanji is really like Zhu Di, and even his suspicious personality is similar.
"It's unlikely." Li Qing shook her head: "These two national policies are not half beneficial to her, besides, if your father drives... What's in it for her? ”
"Could it be that the ministers colluded with the harem and took what they needed?" Zhu Zhanji said quietly: "The queen has no right to speak, but the queen mother does!" ”
"......" Li Qing had nothing to say, but he still felt that it was not so bloody.
"Look at the list of martyrs." Zhu Zhanji said.
Li Qing picked up the following list of testaments:
Gongsu Guifei Guo, Gongxu Shunfei Tan, Zhenhui Shufei Wang, Hui'an Lifei Wang, Gongjing Chongfei Huang!
"Guo Guifei......" Li Qing frowned and said, "Is it Guo Ying's granddaughter, that Guo Guifei?" ”
Zhu Zhanji nodded: "She is a concubine surnamed Guo." ”
He said in a deep voice: "After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, all the sons of Taizu married Xungui, in order to ensure that the harmony was not harmed, Taizu set up an ancestral training, and the daughters of Xungui were not allowed to be buried;
The queen and Guo Guifei have always been at odds. ”
Li Qing was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "You should be too careful, when we came in just now, judging from the performance of your father and mother, they were very affectionate;
At this time, if she was really what you said, she wouldn't act so realistically;
Besides, you underestimate your father too much, how can he not see the pillow person for decades? ”
Zhu Zhanji sighed and said bitterly: "I hope it is as you say!" ”
He looked up at the sky: "I really have no one to believe except you now." ”
Li Qing also sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "You don't have to think nonsense, your father is okay for the time being, what is the specific, wait for him to wake up and ask." ”
