Zhao Qinian was in a coma for three days and three nights, but everything was normal in the palace, and the court was the same, at least on the surface.

As Zhao Qinian's cronies, Gonggong Hong and Riying's master and apprentice took turns to take care of them every day, and Zhao Qinian was overjoyed when he woke up.

"Where am I?" Zhao Qinian asked as he looked at Fang Liang with half-squinted eyes.

Gonggong Hong stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are in the dormitory." ”

He looked at Zhao Qinian's slightly pale face and sighed in his heart, as Zhao Qinian's close minister, he was one of the few people who could fully understand Zhao Qinian's feelings.

Zhao Qinian muttered and closed his eyes, opened them abruptly after a while, and asked lightly after sitting up, "How is my father-in-law?"

Gonggong Hong helped him sit down, hesitated for a moment and replied: "After His Majesty fell into a coma that day, the hundred officials ordered General Yang to be beheaded for public display, and there were still 12 days before the execution. ”

Zhao Qinian was not as shocked as Gonggong Hong expected, but he stopped talking after a hum, and lowered his head as if he was pondering something.

At this time, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open, Ri Ying led the two apprentices into the house, and saw that Zhao Qinian had already sat up, and Ri Ying walked out without saying a word.

"Riying. Zhao Qinian spoke up before Riying was about to go out, "Are you still used to staying in the palace?"

Ri Ying stopped at the door and turned around, tilting her head, the sun shining a little dazzling on a pair of redwoods, "It's good." ”

Luo Li nodded, and Tai Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Qinian glanced at them, smiled, and waved his hand at them.

After the three of them left the house, Zhao Qinian said to Hong Gong fairly: "Is my father-in-law willing to serve as the middle palm seal and keep the jade seal for me?"

Gonggong Hong was stunned for a moment, bowed and saluted, "The old slave has served His Majesty for many years and is reluctant to leave His Majesty's side. ”

Zhao Qinian also stared at him for a while, and suddenly laughed, but the laughter was a little bitter in Gonggong Hong's ears.

"Obviously I am an incompetent king, why don't you want to abandon me?"

Gonggong Hong understood what Zhao Qinian meant by asking this, he shouldn't have raised his head at this time, but he did so, and saw the tears in the corners of Zhao Qinian's eyes.

"Your Majesty thinks that General Yang thinks that Your Majesty is incompetent, so he left Your Majesty?"

"Isn't it?" Zhao Qinian's tears flashed with hope.

"The old slave didn't dare to agree, on the contrary, General Yang felt that His Majesty could become a generation of Ming Jun, so he left with confidence. ”

"I am extremely weak, afraid of political affairs, detached from hundreds of officials, and unable to become a martial artist, how can I become a Ming Jun?"

Gonggong Hong bowed his head and bowed his hand, and kept his mouth shut.

Zhao Qinian sat up straighter again, cleaned up the expression on his face, and asked a little seriously: "How is it in the palace now?"

"Everything in the palace is business as usual, and the people in the city have a lot of arguments, and many people do not believe what General Yang said that day. ”

Zhao Qinian smiled self-deprecatingly, everything is as usual when the emperor is not in the palace, does it mean that the emperor is not actually needed?

He was just about to speak, but he paused and said, "Pass on Chen Kang and Li Congwen." ”

......

Chen Kang came in too busy, so busy that although he was worried about Yang Qi, he couldn't tell the difference. Today, when he was settling the tax at the household department, he was told that His Majesty wanted to see him, so he sorted out the scattered papers on the table a little and walked to the palace.

When Chen Kang saw Zhao Qinian, he was already sitting in the study, and was handing the bowl in his hand to the person who was wearing the imperial doctor's clothes although he was strong, and Gonggong Hong in the corner took the imperial doctor out and closed the door.

Zhao Qinian saw Chen Kang squinting his eyes and looking at the imperial doctor and said with a smile: "My father-in-law said that Imperial Doctor Ding has good medical skills, and my head hurts a little, so he sent him to boil the side medicine for me." ”

Chen Kang's head was a little groggy, and he remembered that he had met this strong man a few times.

"Your Majesty is here?"

"How's Lee Sang?"

"I don't know much about the minister who hasn't been home for many days, but there is no news from the house, and I think Mr. Lai's condition should not change. ”

Zhao Qinian sighed, "Is there enough money and food from all over the country?"

"If you count the enough disaster relief that is still on the way, if you save some money, you can also free up money to build the dam. Chen Kang said very conservatively.

"Damming?"

Chen Kang was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty doesn't know, the minister has already talked to the Ministry of Industry about this matter, and the Ministry of Industry said that the palace has not yet approved it." ”

Zhao Qinian opened them one by one, and saw the word dam in an inconspicuous place in the Ministry of Works, but the words were unknown, and the meaning of this dam repair was like a speck of dust on the table.

Chen Kang glanced at Zhao Qinian, and suddenly felt that Zhao Qinian was different from before.

"Why are you in a hurry to build a dam?" Zhao Qinian took a deep breath.

"Although the people have food and food, they have no source of water, and if the government can hire the victims to repair the dam, it will also allow the victims to have money to buy grain and plant for spring plowing every year, and they will not cause trouble without doing anything. ”

Zhao Qinian nodded, "Tomorrow morning, I will announce this matter." ”

Chen Kang raised his head in a little surprise and bowed again.

At this time, the door opened, and Li Congwen walked in, "Your Majesty called me?"

"Is the city stable?"

In addition to reading books in the house these days to find a way, Li Congwen is wandering around the street, so he has some understanding, "There is no riot in the city, but there is a lot of discussion, and many people feel that Uncle Yang has been wronged." ”

Zhao Qinian nodded and asked word by word: "If I send the guards now, is it possible to save my father-in-law?"

"What are you sending the guards for?" Li Congwen didn't react for a while.

Zhao Qinian stood up, took out a jade talisman from a box on the table and grabbed it in his hand, "I can use this soldier symbol to order 50,000 guards and 50,000 iron cavalry in the north inside and outside the city, I have figured it out, the reason why the noble ministers are not afraid of the heavy soldiers in my hands is because they feel that I don't dare, and now I want them to see my determination!"

Chen Kang was shocked, and even said no, and even Li Congwen, who had previously persuaded Zhao Qinian to move troops, was a little hesitant.

He suddenly thought that his father handed him a letter before he left, and hurriedly took it out and handed it to Zhao Qinian, "This is my father's trust, and I will hand it over to Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Qinian felt that his head was a little heavy, took two breaths and sat down, took the letter and asked casually, "How is Li Xiang?"

"My father has been reading and reciting poetry in the house for the past few days, occasionally planting some flowers and plants, and his body is better than before. ”

Zhao Qinian frowned when he opened the letter, and there were only four words written on the letter:

Immobilized.

Feeling that his head sank a little more, he folded the letter, and didn't say what was written on the letter, but just smiled at the two of them, "Li Xiang can't think too much about it, why do you still write to me? Congwen, you go home and tell Li Xiang to have a good rest, I will deal with it, I still want Li Xiang to recover as soon as possible, and give me advice earlier." Go down. ”

He put the talisman back in place and smiled and waved at the two of them.

He already had a plan in mind.

The two of them retreated, closed the door and walked to a place where no one was around, Chen Kang suddenly stopped, and said with some complexity: "Your Majesty has changed." ”

"Hmm. ”
