【Revise typos in fifteen minutes】
It's night.
Ganqing Palace.
Concubine Rong stood in front of the concubines, staring straight at the apricot and yellow curtain in front of her, but her eyes were no longer focused.
Since the emperor who was unconscious of human affairs was transferred from the Yuyunyuan of Jingren Palace to the Ganqing Palace, all the concubines in the palace gathered here, but most of them could not even enter the palace gate and could only pray for the emperor outside.
Most of the people entering the hall were also blocked by this curtain. In addition to the queen, the mother and son of Concubine Wu.
As for the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun, although she was not directly inscribed into the cold palace because the emperor had happened in Yuyunyuan, she was ordered to be banned by the Queen Mother and was left to be left to the future.
When he first heard this news, Concubine Rong was a little gloating, but after being stopped by the curtain for half a day, her thoughts of gloating had long disappeared.
Because at this moment she truly realized that if the emperor really spread his past life, the apricot and yellow curtain in front of her would be heaven and hell!
In addition to the queen and the prince who gave birth to it - it is unexpected that Concubine Wu, who is also the future emperor, will be endless desolation and cold silence waiting for others.
By then, how big is the difference between outside the cold palace and inside the cold palace?
This made Concubine Rong ask all the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, praying that the emperor had a casual stroke for a moment and would soon be able to regain his strength as before.
But just like the prayers she had never been able to wait for any turnaround this time.
The curtain was quiet, only occasionally the whispers of several imperial physicians and the voices of the little princes being raised and lowered.
I don't know how long it took.
A maid Chu Xiu, who was guarding outside the hall, walked in silently and came to the curtain to report softly: "Empress, the Supreme Emperor ordered General Xia to visit His Majesty."
"Please come in."
The queen's hoarse voice came from behind the curtain.
The palace maid bowed and responded, turned around and left the door. Soon after, she led Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Six Palaces.
Xia Shouzhong was a confidant of the Emperor. He was already 60 years old. He walked across the threshold with some difficulty with his skirt. He bowed to the concubines in the hall first, and then, under the guidance of the palace maid, he opened the curtain and left. Go in.
The moment he saw the queen and Wu Guifei, his crest bent down, showing a sad and pleasing expression to the two of them, but the light from the corner of his eyes fell on the chair, and he was kicking both of them bored. The little prince with legs.
"The Emperor Lao is thinking about it."
After seeing the ceremony, the queen said, "After the treatment of the imperial physicians, the symptoms of spasms and hesitation have been greatly relieved, but I haven't woken up for a while."
[To be honest, I have been using Wild Fruit to read and read books recently, changing sources and switching, and pronunciation aloud, which can be done on both Android and Apple.]
"That's good, that's good."
Xia Shouzhong nodded with joy, but knew that this was just a saying of not reporting good news. After all, the focus is not on the symptoms of spasms and convulsions, but whether the emperor can wake up again.
But he didn't ask anything about it, after all, his main task was not like this.
"It's been such an hour..."
Xia Shouzhong's eyes stopped dodging and turned directly to the prince beside him: "Your Highness should have rested earlier. Only by resting your spirits can you be filial to the emperor."
When the queen heard this, she hurriedly said, "We were just preparing to let Concubine Wu take him back to rest."
"It's hard to leave the concubine."
Xia Shouzhong's attitude became more and more humble, but his words were unquestionable: "The Supreme Emperor was worried that the palace was not fully cared for, so he thought that it would be better to send His Highness to Renshou Palace. With the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother, I believe that the Imperial Concubine could be
I serve Your Majesty with all my heart and no longer have any worries.”
"this……"
The queen's expression changed slightly. Since the Supreme Emperor was blind, he has rejected new things and only thought about old people and old things that have an impression in his mind. Therefore, he is not close to the emperor's grandson who has never seen him with his own eyes.
At this time, I suddenly wanted to take my grandson to Renshou Palace, but I was afraid that I would have the idea of appointing a new king.
But is this too eager?
The emperor had an emergency yesterday, and less than a day had passed...
The queen subconsciously glanced at the unconscious emperor, then gritted her teeth and said solemnly: "The emperor is kind to me, I am grateful to Concubine Wu, but now His Majesty suddenly becomes ill and unable to manage the affairs. The emperor is the only Dinghai Shen Needle in the palace.
I don’t know how many big and small things I have to worry about, so I can let him work hard for Brother Yao? When His Majesty wakes up and finds out about this, I’m afraid he will blame me and Sister Wu.”
Xia Shouzhong obviously did not expect the queen to refuse the matter. He raised his eyes unconsciously, then regained his humble and respectful attitude, and bowed: "Since the Empress said that, then the old slave will go back and report first."
As he said that, he took a few steps back and knocked the curtain with his back, and then turned around and left the Qianqing Palace.
The queen watched him leave until the rippling curtain settled again, then sighed slightly and turned to look at Concubine Wu next to her.
Concubine Wu obviously hadn't figured out what had happened just now, and she didn't understand how the queen dared to contradict the emperor's order at this critical moment. Seeing that the queen turned to look at her, she seemed to want to speak but stopped. She wanted to ask but didn't dare.
Asking.
The queen didn't have the intention to explain much. If the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun was not implicated, she could still discuss it with her. However, this Wu Guifei was just a mother with her son. She was afraid that she might not be able to do so even if she was just a wise man.
Rong is the eldest concubine Rong.
He immediately called out a confidant palace maid and asked him to lead Concubine Rong and the prince to find a room nearby to rest.
The concubines inside and outside the hall also arranged in order to go back and rest.
After everything was arranged, the queen sat in front of the bed, first stretched out her hand and gently stroked the emperor's slightly hideous face, and then held the emperor's right hand like chicken feet in the palm, and her eyes were unconsciously filled with tears.
I don’t know whether I felt the heat in the queen’s palm or was moved by the tears, the emperor’s tightly closed lips suddenly opened and spit out two notes of Hanhu.
"emperor?!"
The queen's delicate body trembled, and she was overjoyed and was afraid that she had read and heard it wrong. She hurriedly leaned her head and put her ear next to the emperor's mouth, and said excitedly: "Master, what do you want to say?"
After a while, Emperor Longyuan once again highlighted the two syllables of Hanhu.
Even though the queen had gathered close enough, she still couldn't hear it clearly. She could only guess: "People's mission? Work hard? Or... Be in charge of power?"
Is the emperor's intention to let Brother Yao [Prince] take charge of power?
While the queen was wondering, Emperor Longyuan repeated the two syllables again. This time, the queen finally heard it clearly. It turned out that the emperor was thinking about the word "New Policy".
Seeing that her husband was in such a situation, he did not forget his ambition to implement the new policy. The queen could no longer help crying and shouted loudly at the same time: "Imperial Doctor, hurry up and pass on the Imperial Doctor. Your Majesty has spoken, Your Majesty has spoken!"
…………
The words are divided into two ends.
But Xia Shouzhong returned to Renshou Palace from the Ganqing Palace and reposted the queen's words in the original form.
After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor shook his head and said, "Everyone said that my daughter-in-law is soft-tempered, and now she looks like a needle hidden in the cotton."
As he said that, he waved his hand and said, "Stop, since she has such an attitude, what else can I worry about? Let her go."
Xia Shouzhong bowed and responded, and slowly retreated out of the hall.
The Supreme Emperor sighed lightly and ordered, "San Lao, continue to recite."
"yes."
A middle-aged man in his early forties next to him agreed, then spread the memorial in his hand and began to recite it in a slight and slight manner.
However, after only a few words, the Supreme Emperor shook his head and said, "Why are you impeaching Jiao Shun again? Alas, this is no wonder the emperor has a headache all day long."
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "The emperor is very talented, foresighted, and has a very strong mind and demeanor. He is very arrogant and demeanorable. He is inevitably arbitrary in the government. It is also a fault that these civil officials do not know how to comply with the holy will and blindly attack the new policy..."
"New policy, new policy, how many new policies of all dynasties have been successful? What's more, is it so eager to achieve success?" The Supreme Emperor stopped his words and complained: "Let's talk about the reform of the system, how many of them can be compared forever? After passing the Taizu of this dynasty? But our family is from the Shizong family after all!"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression changed a few times, and he quickly changed his tone: "It's still the emperor's brother, you can shine thousands of miles. The new policy is really not too rush. If he can appoint respected ministers and slowly seek it, it may not cause such a problem. There is so much criticism.”
This is obviously right for the Emperor's appetite.
The Supreme Emperor was forced to abdicate due to eye disease. What he left behind in his heart was naturally the prosperous era of the Great Xia. As soon as the emperor came to power, he vigorously promoted reforms and defined Western barbarians' invasion of the sea border as a disaster.
Then how does the Supreme Emperor's civil and military achievements reflect?!
Therefore, although he has never intervened, the Supreme Emperor actually has quite a complaint about the new policy.
After the middle-aged man tested the attitude of the Supreme Emperor, he was about to strike while the iron was hot and then take some private goods. Suddenly, Xia Shouzhong walked in from outside again, held a memorial and said, "Report to the Supreme Emperor, ask about the memorial of Rongguo Mansion The report is coming."
When the Supreme Emperor heard this, he waved at the source of the voice: "I'll give it to King Zhongshun."
But it turned out that the person who read the memorial was the Emperor's younger brother, King Zhongshun.
After all, the Supreme Emperor had not been in charge of government for several years, and the palace is still blocking news, so it is not convenient to ask the ministers to help. After thinking about it, he summoned his only brother into the palace, thinking that even if King Zhongshun could not get anything I can at least understand some situations through him.
King Zhongshun did not dare to neglect the report from the Fufu Department, so he quickly expanded it and read two pages first. When he saw Jiao Shun insisting on entering Rongguo Mansion to welcome the bride, his eyes dripped a few times, and his face unconsciously showed a cold smile. Come.
Although he had to lower his attitude to win over Jiao in order to compete with King Nan'an, King Zhongshun, who had always loved to hold grudges, did not forget that when he tried to interfere in the tire business, Jiao Shun was so desperate to face the royal family's chief minister when he tried to interfere in the tire business. feelings.
In the past, when an emperor favored Jiao Shun, King Zhongshun had no choice but to do anything.
But now...
Isn’t this a good opportunity to repay grudges?!
At that moment, King Zhongshun Langsheng read this passage to the Emperor, and deliberately said: "Jiao Shun is really unresponsive. The Dragon Imperial Guard went to investigate with the emperor's brother's emperor's edict, and he dared to trespass - he also came to welcome the bride.
Yes, why did Deputy General Sun retreat obediently?”
The Supreme Emperor closed his eyes and refused to comment.
King Zhongshun was unwilling to give up and gave him eye medicine and said, "I see that most of the memorials in recent days have been impeaching him. As the saying goes, everyone is making money, so they are not always framed him, right?"
"Oh~"
The Supreme Emperor suddenly sighed, and had no choice but to raise his hand and point a few times in the direction where King Zhongshun was, and shook his head and said, "You, you have been alive for so many years and have not seen any progress. Tell me, this child named Jiao is
Where did you offend you?"
"this……"
King Zhongshun was startled first, and then said embarrassedly: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the emperor's brother. I did have some small disputes with him before, but these memorials were not compiled by me."
"The new policy has drawn the root of the imperial examination. If they don't impeach Jiao Shun, will it be better to impeach your nephew directly?" The Supreme Emperor shook his head again, but then said: "But the matter has reached such a turmoil, Jiao Shun
There must be something wrong with it."
This is a trend of not talking about facts.
King Zhongshun was so happy when he heard this. He was about to make things worse when he suddenly heard the emperor's order: "Where are you just reporting these trivial matters?"
"And, there's!"
King Zhongshun hurriedly looked down, then was stunned and couldn't help blurting out: "Yi? Is Jia She dead?"
"Um?"
The Supreme Emperor, who had been lying on the couch, raised his waist and said suspiciously: "Who?"
"First-class general Jia She and Jia Enhou are the boss of Rongguo Mansion and Jia Zheng's brother."
The Supreme Emperor frowned: "I naturally know him, but why did he die suddenly?"
"It's not that sudden."
Although King Zhongshun looked down on Jia She, he was greedy and lustful after all, and he had many opportunities to contact him on weekdays. Moreover, Jia She had repeatedly borrowed money from the royal palace, so he did not care about Jia She's recent situation.
Not strange.
It was explained immediately: "Jia She fell ill last year. I heard that she had been raising her for more than half a year and she didn't recover. Today, his daughter got married. She originally pointed to the joy of the rush, who would have thought... Under this great joy and sorrow, she died.
It's normal."
After listening to King Zhongshun's explanation, the solemn and suspiciousness in the Supreme Emperor's eyes gradually faded away, and he waved his hand to signal King Zhongshun to continue reading.
After King Zhongshun finished reading it all the time, the Supreme Emperor sighed and said, "Actually, this Rongguo Mansion has suffered a disaster. After all, the emperor suffered a stroke, not a poison."
Hearing that the Emperor's words seemed to be loose, King Zhongshun was hesitating whether to say a few good words, but suddenly he heard the Emperor's words change: "Then Jiao Shun is getting married today?"
King Zhongshun immediately became energetic and hurriedly said, "It is today that people say that although he was a family slave, he was not a skilled person. I don't know how much he guessed today."
There is obviously a trap for this statement.
If Jiao Shun had guessed the clues and insisted on getting married today...
"Hmph~"
The Supreme Emperor snorted lightly, knocked on the edge of the bed, and suddenly said, "Then you should not be in a hurry..."
"The Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor!"
At this moment, Xia Shouzhong rushed in again and shouted happily: "The emperor has spoken, the emperor has spoken!"
When the Supreme Emperor heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What did you say?"
"I said the word 'New Deal', not once, but repeatedly!"
Chapter completed!
