The first thousand one hundred and sixty-seven chapters into the cabinet

If you really take his pills, it will only last for another half a year at most. After one year, without an antidote, the emperor will definitely die. Moreover, the poison has already worn down the emperor's body. Even if there is an antidote, the emperor will not be able to cure the disease.
Already.
Gu Chengyu took out a small jade bottle from his sleeve, "There are only two pills left. This medicine can only delay the spread of poison in the emperor's body, but it is not very effective. It can only extend for half a year at most."
He handed the medicine to Yuan Zhang, "I'd like to ask Yuan Yu Zhang to identify it carefully and ask someone to test the medicine!"
Zhang Yuan was a little excited. He quickly took the medicine bottle and pulled out the cork. As soon as he pulled out the cork, he smelled the faint fragrance of the medicine. Just by smelling it, he felt refreshed and energetic.
Vibrate.
"There is no need to test the medicine, just give it to the Emperor!" the Queen Mother suddenly said.
Zhang Yuanzhang was a little hesitant. Although he didn't see anything wrong with this medicine, it didn't mean that there was nothing wrong with it. Just by looking at it a few times, he couldn't tell whether it contained poison. If the emperor
If something unexpected happens if he takes this medicine, won't he also be implicated?
"Is there any worse situation than now? There are only two pills, so the test medicine will be one less. It's better to keep it for the emperor to take!"
The Queen Mother felt that there was no need for Gu Chengyu to do this. Anyway, the emperor's life was short, and Gu Chengyu could not afford to do anything again, so this worry was simply unnecessary.
"Yes!" Zhang Yuanshi stepped forward, opened the emperor's mouth, and stuffed one of the pills into the emperor's mouth.
"After taking this medicine, the emperor will be able to wake up within half an hour." Gu Chengyu has confidence in this medicine, which is refined from low-level elixirs in space.
It's a pity that inferiors are inferior after all and are not omnipotent. What's more, someone like the Emperor, who has already been poisoned into the bone marrow and invaded the internal organs, can only delay it for a while!
"Is this pill effective for blindness?" The queen mother suddenly remembered her eldest grandson who was blind. There was still one pill left. If she could cure Brother Ye's blindness, she could only choose to cure Brother Ye.
After all, this pill can only extend Dun'er's life for half a year, but for Dun'er who is blind, it may be a hope.
"The eldest prince's blindness is caused by blood congestion in the brain. This medicine may be useful, but I am not sure. Moreover, the eldest prince is too young, and the properties of this medicine are very strong. I am afraid that the eldest prince will not be able to bear it.
Therefore, Wei Chen suggests that you divide this medicine into multiple portions and give it to the eldest prince gradually. Use the moisturizing method to slowly dissolve the congestion in the eldest prince's mind."
"Of course! Weichen cannot guarantee its efficacy. This medicine is something Weichen only got by chance. I believe the Queen Mother has also heard that the medicinal materials for refining this medicine are very rare. Even if you have a prescription, you may not be able to find it.
We have found the medicinal materials needed. These two pills are really rare. However, if this medicine is taken by the eldest prince, the emperor will be missing one pill."
Gu Chengyu couldn't take out all the pills in the space, otherwise he would cause trouble for himself.
"Cough! Cough! Here, give it to Brother Ye!" The emperor slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he heard this, he made his choice without hesitation.
His broken body was already on its last legs. Even if his life was extended for another year and a half, so what? If Brother Ye couldn't recover, the dynasty would really have no heirs. He could naturally tell what was serious and what was light.
"Dun'er!" The Queen Mother threw herself in front of the emperor's couch and sobbed. Did she really want the white-haired person to give the black-haired person away?
"The emperor should not be too excited, let alone work too hard. Please take care of your dragon body!" Gu Chengyu took a few steps back and saluted.
The emperor turned his head and looked at Gu Chengyu, "I know not to work too hard, but I have to decide everything in the court. How can I have some leisure?"
He closed his eyes slightly, sighed deeply, and after a moment said: "Gu Aiqing!"
"I'm here!"
"I will confer you the title of Bachelor of the East Pavilion and join the cabinet to discuss matters. I need to recuperate these days and no longer worry about state affairs. The cabinet now has no chief assistant and no leader, so I will temporarily leave the cabinet to you for a few days."
"I thank you Lord for your kindness!" Gu Chengyu knelt down and kowtowed, and he finally entered the cabinet.
"Queen Mother, I am very relieved that Gu Aiqing is guarding the cabinet. But after all, he is just a minister. I would like to ask Gu Aiqing to assist Queen Mother in sorting out state affairs."
The emperor turned his attention to the queen mother in front of the bed. Although the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, it was still a special situation and he had no choice.
In fact, he felt relieved when he handed the memorial to Gu Chengyu for review. He believed that Gu Chengyu could handle state affairs for him. But after all, Gu Chengyu was only a minister. If he was given full authority to handle the memorial, he might not be able to convince the public.
"Emperor, if the Ai family interferes with government affairs, there must be dissatisfaction in the court." The Queen Mother was stunned. She did not expect that Dun'er would actually ask her to interfere in state affairs.
"It doesn't matter! Why do you care about these people? Besides clamoring and using etiquette to suppress me, what else can they do? Mother, don't worry, I am here!" The emperor patted the hands of the queen mother and comforted softly.
"Pang Chu, please send a message to the officials of the Hanlin Academy to prepare the decree! It has been announced that I am unwell and will need to recuperate for a few days. The queen mother and Gu Aiqing will handle state affairs for the time being."
"yes!"
The next day, all the ministers were waiting in the cold wind for the emperor's morning appearance.
"My lords, the emperor has announced that there will be no morning court today!" Pang Chu looked at the time and saw that everyone had almost arrived, so he stepped forward and announced.
Not going to court? Everyone looked at each other, as the emperor had not made a statement before.
"But the Emperor has an edict to announce!" Pang Chu could already predict that once the edict was announced, the Palace of Supreme Harmony would explode.
Gu Chengyu lowered his eyes. He was already prepared. The first person these people were going to bombard would definitely be him.
"What? The emperor actually asked Gu Siqing and the Queen Mother to act as agents of state affairs? It's simply ridiculous!" Compared to this important news, everyone ignored Gu Chengyu's entry into the cabinet.
"That's right! How can the harem be involved in politics? What's more, Gu Siqing is only a third-rank official and has just been promoted to the cabinet. How can he exercise the power of the chief minister of the cabinet? I think it is extremely inappropriate."
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation. They all stared at Gu Chengyu as if they wanted to eat him up. Why could Gu Chengyu, who had only been in officialdom for two years, assume the power of chief minister?
They, who are older than him and have a higher rank than him, still want to take orders from this person?
The cabinet has too much power, and all their memorials have to go through the cabinet. If Prime Minister Gu Chengyu is left to deal with the cabinet, where will they have any room to speak in the future?
Now that the court didn't even have Xia Qing and Shen Shikang to restrain Gu Chengyu, who else could stop Gu Chengyu? From now on, the court has simply become Gu Chengyu's talking point.
"Gu Siqing, I ask you, do you think you are qualified?" Deng Chenghong, the censor of Zuodu, frowned and looked at Gu Chengyu. He just saw that Gu Chengyu was looking at his nose and heart, and turned a deaf ear to their angry attitude.
It was like an old monk in meditation, calm and relaxed, which made him a little annoyed.ntent
