"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Seeing the limp and slumped emperor, the bachelors and chamberlains immediately became confused. Some people rushed forward to help, while others stamped their feet and shouted: "Imperial Physician! Send the Imperial Physician to you quickly!"
Everyone struggled to help the emperor onto the dragon bed. The imperial doctor also rushed over, kicked out all the rest, and began to rush to save the emperor.
Yang Shiqi and others were kicked out of the dormitory and were waiting anxiously outside. Among the four bachelors, although Yang Shiqi had the most power and was the most relied upon by the emperor, it was Yang Pu who had the deepest affection for the emperor. He couldn't help complaining to Yang Shiqi and said: "Your Majesty
You know my illness best, why can't you wait for a while before telling the emperor?"
"You have the guts to hide such a big thing, but I don't have the courage..." Yang Shiqi spread his hands and snorted: "Besides, you must have blamed the wrong person. It was not me who caused the emperor to be like this, but you have always been
Partial Wang Xian!"
Yang Pu's fighting power was not even half of that of Yang Shiqi. He was choked and speechless. He could only stamp his feet angrily and tremble with anger: "Don't think I don't know the bad things you do in private!
"
Yang Pu's words seemed to be just a harmless nonsense to Huang Huai. But the corners of Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi's eyes twitched, and murderous intent burst out in the latter's eyes. Yang Rong shook his head slightly, signaling Yang Shiqi to be safe.
After careful calculation, he felt that Yang Pu had no way of knowing his plan. Maybe he was just too sensitive...
Seeing that Yang Shiqi was silent, Yang Pu snorted and stopped pursuing the victory. The four academicians had different intentions and waited outside the Palace of Qianqing until dark before the closed door of the palace reopened and Magistrate Zhou of the Taiyuan Hospital came out.
.
"Judgment of Zhou Yuan, how is the emperor's dragon body?" Yang Shiqi asked immediately.
Seeing Yang Shiqi, Judge Zhou couldn't help but tremble in his chest. He sweated on his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "Come back, Chief Assistant... The emperor is awake, but his condition... still needs to be observed for a few more days..."
Zhou Yuanxing was originally the second-in-command of Taiyuan Hospital. Four years ago, Jinyuanxing poisoned Concubine Wang to death and committed suicide out of fear of guilt. Only then did he take the top position of Taiyuan Hospital.
That day, when Yang Shiqi entered Tai Hospital and had a secret talk with him in the Jinyuan judge room, Judge Zhou saw him clearly! And because he was right next door, he faintly overheard some things that he shouldn't have heard. As a result, within a few days, Mr.
The cautious Jin Yuanjing was stunned and poisoned Wang Guifei...
Therefore, Judge Zhou knew very well that even if Yang Shiqi had not forced him, he would have had nothing to do with the reason why Judge Jin had reached a dead end!
Now, the emperor is seriously ill and strange things are happening. Judge Zhou is really afraid that Yang Shiqi will find him again and repeat the scene of Judge Jin...
Yang Shiqi didn't bother to pay attention to Judge Zhou's thoughts, and asked himself: "Can you give me an accurate answer, how is the emperor's illness?"
"This, I really can't say for sure..." Judge Zhou almost cried.
Fortunately, Zhang Cheng came out and cleared the siege for Zhou Yuan. He looked at several bachelors and said softly: "Your Majesty, please invite the bachelors in."
Yang Shiqi then let go of Zhou Yuanjing and ordered Yang Rong and the others: "You guys wait here while I go in to see the saint." Naturally, Yang Rong had no objection, but Yang Pu and Huang Huai looked angry. But it's not good at this time.
To challenge Yang Shiqi in front of the Golden Palace, we can only let Yang Shiqi act arbitrarily.
"The emperor's intention is to invite a few bachelors to come in together." Zhang Cheng said quietly.
The corners of Yang Shiqi's mouth twitched, and he could only mutter: "Then let's go in together."
In the dormitory, Emperor Hong Xi was lying on the dragon bed, his face was pale, his breath was weak, and a white towel was placed on his forehead. He looked very bad.
When several academicians saw the emperor's appearance of being close to death, they were all shocked and their hands and feet were cold. Even Yang Shiqi couldn't help feeling sad. He knelt down in front of the dragon bed and said with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, we are all veterans.
It’s my fault…”
Yang Rong and three others also knelt behind Yang Shiqi, their eyes red and filled with sadness.
Zhu Gaochi shook his head slightly, his voice was like gossamer, and he said with difficulty: "It's none of the chief minister's business, it's my body that's in trouble..."
Hearing what the emperor said, Yang Shiqi and others were even more distressed. Yang Pu burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, please don't say that. You are just slightly ill. Your Majesty is in the prime of his youth, and he will be fine soon!"
Yang Shiqi and others nodded heavily: "Your Majesty, please don't think wildly..."
However, Zhu Gaochi still shook his head and said with a frustrated face: "I know my body well. I cannot bear the burden that my ancestors have placed on my shoulders..."
"Your Majesty!" Several academicians burst into tears, and Emperor Hong Xi also shed tears from his eyes. Zhang Cheng wiped away his tears from the side and advised: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, please stop crying and hurry up and get down to business.
Come on, let’s have a rest after that…”
"Yeah, let's get down to business..." Zhu Gaochi closed his eyes, adjusted his emotions for a while, opened his eyes and said to Yang Shiqi and others: "I can't help, but the national affairs cannot be delayed for a day. The most urgent task now is how to deal with the disastrous defeat of our army.
…”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have made a plan," Yang Shiqi replied in a deep voice with tears in his eyes: "First of all, Wang Xian is held accountable for the defeat! Secondly, we sternly reprimand the three guards of Duoyan for their actions, order them to hand over the murderer and withdraw immediately.
, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will close the mutual market and send heavenly troops to attack! At the same time, the line from Yumen Pass to Juyong Pass will immediately enter a wartime state to scare Xiaoxiao, just in case!"
Huanghuai Yang Pu was furious when he heard this. When did you discuss it with us? Does this mean that 'I have already made a plan'? Besides, why does this plan sound so ridiculous? Just a few Duoyan people can co-author it.
If the murderer is handed over and then the troops are withdrawn, the court can pretend that nothing happened? This is really the most ridiculous thing in the world!
But the emperor is already so ill, how can they roar in front of you? They have to swallow all their words and let Yang Shiqi talk nonsense!
"..." After listening to Yang Shiqi's words, Emperor Hongxi closed his eyes and took a breath for a while. Fang reluctantly opened his eyes and said: "My head is too dizzy and I can no longer think about these state affairs..."
"Your Majesty!" Yang Shiqi thought that Zhu Gaochi was trying to make peace with Xini, so he hurriedly shouted: "When the country is in crisis, all the people in the world are waiting for you to make a decision!"
"I am helpless..." Zhu Gaochi shook his head feebly and said in a weak voice: "Let's find someone else to make the decision for you..."
"Your Majesty!" Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, and Huang Huai were all so shocked by the emperor's words that the hairs on their bodies stood up. They looked at the half-dead Emperor Hong Xi with their mouths wide open, wondering what he meant by his words.
Fortunately, Zhu Gaochi was not in the mood to show off. He closed his eyes slightly and said in a weak voice, but every word was like thunder: "I have sent an order to Zhu Zhanji to enter the palace to see you..."
"..." Yang Shiqi and others were stunned. They never expected that the emperor actually meant this!
After saying what he should say, Zhu Gaochi seemed to have exhausted all his strength and lay on the dragon bed with his eyes closed, feeling groggy and silent.
The bachelors knelt in front of the dragon bed. Yang Rong glanced at Yang Shiqi secretly, and Huang Huai glanced at Yang Pu secretly, but the connotations in their eyes were completely opposite. Yang Rong's look was full of surprise and sure enough.
Huang Huai's glance showed only fear and loneliness...
The monarch and his ministers were waiting quietly in the main hall with their own thoughts. Only the watch in the corner of the hall made a faint ticking sound.
The gate of Taisun Mansion is still closed, with lush greenery and the moon shining on the lotus pond, as if the disturbances from the outside world cannot reach this closed and quiet square inch of world.
Zhu Zhanji was sitting in front of the desk, writing and splashing ink on the paper, drawing a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain. The tiger on the paper has white forehead with hanging eyes, teeth and claws, and the anger in the tiger's eyes like bells is as real as real.
He wants to pounce off the drawing paper and choose others to devour!
Chen Wu, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but cheered: "His Royal Highness's painting is catching up with the national champion! Yesterday, the crane he painted seemed like it wanted to fly into the sky. Today, the tiger looks like it is about to jump out of the paper!"
Zhu Zhanji held the pen and looked at the tigers on the picture, while shaking his head and saying: "But after all, they can't get out of this drawing paper." He sighed and said: "I won't draw these living animals anymore.
If they come out, they will be imprisoned and they will never be released..."
"Your Highness is hurting himself again," Chen Wu quickly consoled him: "I heard that the Emperor's illness is getting worse and worse, and it will be just around the corner for His Highness to break out of the cage."
Zhu Zhanji shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a young eunuch rushing in with a gust of wind, shouting with ecstasy on his face: "Your Highness! What a joy!"
When the little eunuch shouted this, Zhu Zhanji's hand shook unexpectedly, and a drop of ink fell on the drawing paper. He couldn't help but frown slightly. Chen Wu immediately darkened his face and scolded: "It's up to us whether you have any rules, little beast."
I won't strip you of your skin!" He was really angry. He was not angry that the little eunuch disturbed His Highness's painting, but that the little beast dared to go beyond him and come directly to report to His Highness. Are you crazy for wanting to be in a higher position?
Zhu Zhanji frowned and looked at the ink spots on the painting, and asked slowly: "What happy events can happen in this house? The big yellow dog has given birth to puppies again?"
When the little eunuch saw that he was in trouble and was glared at by Chen Wu, he was frightened out of his wits. He trembled and reported back: "There is someone from the palace, please come to the palace to see your highness quickly..."
"What?!" When Chen Wu heard this, he was immediately carried away by the surprise, his eyes widened and he screamed: "You are not talking nonsense, are you?!"
"How dare you, this slave? Eunuch Liu from the palace has already entered the palace and will be there soon." The young eunuch replied quickly.
Chen Wu hurriedly bowed to the expressionless Zhu Zhanji and said, "This is what you expected. Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!" He was about to burst with joy. After three years of hard work, it was finally over!
Zhu Zhanji was unmoved, and stood resolutely in front of the table, maintaining the posture of holding a pen. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Chen Wu and said: "Stop Eunuch Liu, don't let him in!"
"Why?" Chen Wu was stunned.
"There are so many reasons." Zhu Zhanji has been cultivating himself for several years, and his temper has indeed become much calmer. He frowned slightly and said: "Just say that Gu is sick and can't get out of bed, so let him go back."
