The cries of women and children could be heard in the side hall.
Such a big thing happened in the palace, with soldiers and horses running around, and the concubines naturally couldn't hide it.
The queen rushed over with her concubines, and was shocked and fainted on the spot.
However, the Queen Mother never came. Several courtiers noticed something was wrong and rushed over with the guards. They found that the Queen Mother was locked up by several eunuchs. When they rushed in and captured the eunuchs, the Queen Mother was already frightened and fell into a coma.
.
There was even more chaos in the palace.
But the most important place is the emperor's side.
The concubines burst into tears, and the courtiers persuaded them not to interfere with the imperial doctor's treatment, so they calmed down a little.
The chaotic footsteps, accompanied by the clattering of books, made the originally dull interior even more suffocating.
"Here."
Suddenly a voice sounded.
Upon hearing this, the courtiers standing aside with different expressions immediately came over.
An imperial doctor was holding an old booklet.
"Look, the symptoms of the late prince's illness were recorded back then." He said happily.
I finally found it, but there was nothing joyful about it. The imperial doctor was so frightened that he quickly stopped his expression.
The officials were in no mood to pay attention to his expression. Ning Yan took the booklet and everyone else gathered around to read it carefully.
The former prince was diagnosed with poor health when he was born and it was difficult to survive. From that moment on, medical cases related to him continued.
However, after King Qi ascended the throne, the medical records were sealed up. The doctors who were in charge of the prince at that time also resigned and were decentralized due to the death of the prince. It was difficult to find the remaining medical records.
Sure enough, the above records the symptoms of the disease when the prince was a child.
While everyone was watching, they couldn't help but look at the emperor lying on the bed inside for comparison.
"It's also available here." Another imperial doctor hurriedly ran over holding a book, "This is the record of the illness of the late prince by Dr. Zhang."
Immediately, courtiers rushed to pick him up, and everyone immediately surrounded him.
"The name Tianbi was proposed by the divine doctor Zhang back then." The courtier nodded and said with a bit of sadness as he looked at it, "There is no solution."
The imperial doctors who gathered around the bed to diagnose and treat the emperor also came over with uneasy expressions.
"Your Majesty is conscious. There are no other injuries on his body except Master Ning's pinch. It's just paralysis." The leading physician said.
These words made everyone couldn't help but look at Ning Yunzhao.
This pinch injury is still very weird...
According to long-standing records, when the late prince suffered an attack of Tianbi, he would become stiff and unable to breathe. So how could he pinch his neck at this time? Isn't this even more fatal?
"Hey, there is a record here." An official shouted suddenly, pointing to the booklet in his hand, "Doctor Zhang said that if the prince suffers from Tianbi, he should pinch his throat to save his breath..."
Did you really say that?
What's the point?
Everyone followed what the official was pointing and saw that the words of Dr. Zhang were very confusing, but the general idea was that it was almost like fighting fire with fire.
That's it...
There are so many weird ways to treat diseases, and there is no way to say whether they are right or wrong.
So is this really a disease?
The expressions of the courtiers were even more complicated.
"Your Majesty..." someone said, "Why didn't you find any signs before?"
"Some diseases are indeed hidden diseases." Some people nodded and said, "You can't see it on the surface."
"Yes, your majesty and the late prince are brothers... they have the same blood..." Someone else said, and was shocked again at this point, "Ah, then check it out with the princes and princes quickly, lest they..."
As soon as these words came out, the concubines who were crying quietly were shocked, especially the concubines who had children, and they immediately started shouting and urging the imperial doctor to treat their children.
There was chaos in the palace again.
But the atmosphere was not as anxious and solemn as before.
This is because it is determined that it is not a uterine change, but a disease.
But now is not the time to discuss whether other princes and princes have this hidden disease.
Several courtiers solemnly consoled him for a moment, and asked the concubines to agree to examine the princes and princesses later.
The officials looked at the bedside again. After a while of silence, they didn't know who cried first.
"His Majesty!"
Immediately all the officials knelt down beside the emperor's bed, looking sad.
"Now is not the time to be sad." Ning Yan said in a deep voice.
The crying officials immediately put away their tears and looked at the emperor on the bed with complicated expressions.
Yes, there are too many things to do now.
"Miss Jun." Ning Yan looked at Miss Jun.
Since entering this side hall, Miss Jun has been standing quietly in the corner.
Hearing Ning Yan's voice, she looked over.
"Miss Jun has excellent medical skills. Since she can save your majesty's life when he is ill, can it be cured?" Ning Yan said.
Yes, the queen, concubines and other officials also looked over.
Even if he is not cured, even if he is paralyzed, as long as he can speak, it will be fine.
Miss Jun looked towards the bed.
"I have superb medical skills and specialize in treating difficult and complicated diseases." She said, slowly shaking her head, "But this is Tianbi."
"Tianbi is also a disease," an official said anxiously.
Miss Jun looked at him again.
"Tianbi is a disease, but it is a disease determined by God," she said.
What kind of disease is destiny?
"So what?" another official frowned.
"That's the way of heaven. If heaven wants this person to be like this, how can a person change?" Miss Jun said.
Several court officials looked at the brochures they still held in their hands.
"Look, Doctor Zhang also said that the way of heaven was difficult." An official said in a low voice.
What is so difficult about the way of heaven?
To put it bluntly, it can't be cured.
I was also afraid of ruining my reputation as a miracle doctor by saying some ridiculous things.
The officials were somewhat disdainful, while the concubines lost their last hope and started crying again.
"The illness is coming like a mountain. Since Your Majesty has saved his life, he may be able to get better. The imperial doctors are considering the prescription to treat Your Majesty." Ning Yan said, no longer asking Miss Jun, looking at the other courtiers, his expression becoming more and more solemn, "Then
The next affairs of government..."
Finally it comes to this.
The expressions of the officials present also became solemn, and the concubines also pricked up their ears, especially those who gave birth to princes.
No matter how chaotic he was before, the emperor always lay quietly on the bed, occasionally making coughing sounds from his mouth. Although it showed that he was awake, everyone gave up communication after repeated attempts.
The person cannot speak or move, and even if he is conscious, he cannot express his thoughts clearly. This person has become a complete invalid.
Such a person can no longer serve as king.
A country cannot live without a king for a day, especially at this time.
So, which prince takes the throne?
Then as usual, the eldest son...
"About the Crown Prince."
Ning Yunzhao's voice, which had been silent for a long time since entering this room, sounded again.
"Your Majesty has already made arrangements."
These words made everyone look over.
Ning Yunzhao unfolded the edict in front of him.
"Your Majesty has decided to make King Huai the Crown Prince." He said solemnly.
King Huai!
There was an uproar in the palace.
The concubines screamed, and the queen stood up.
"Why, why not make my son?" she said in a trembling voice, and local proverbs came out in a hurry.
Yes, why not the son of the established emperor, but the emperor Huai?
Is it because Miss Jun asked His Majesty to make King Huai the Crown Prince?
Isn't this too coincidental?
It's so coincidental that it makes no sense.
There must be a reason.
Everyone's eyes turned to Ning Yunzhao.
"I don't know why Your Majesty did this." Ning Yunzhao did not answer, but shook his head calmly, "If you want to ask, you can only ask Your Majesty."
Everyone in the palace collapsed.
The queen was even more angry.
Your Majesty is like this now, what else can you ask?
What's more, she believes that it is absolutely impossible for His Majesty to issue such an edict!
There is no one in the world who does not love his own children and wants to pass on the family property to others. This is a truth that all villagers know.
"You, your edict is fake..." She couldn't help but screamed.
Before he finished speaking, Ning Yunzhao, who was originally calm, suddenly changed his expression and took a step forward.
"Is your Majesty saying that I have falsely conveyed the imperial edict? I have inherited the teachings of saints since I was a child, respecting the king of heaven and earth as my teacher. I have also entered the emperor's sect and know the laws of the country and the rules of the family. How could I say such a thing if it was not your majesty's order?"
He shouted sternly, "How can I do such things that go against the way of a saint and the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers?"
As he spoke, he raised the edict with one hand and pointed to the sky with the other. His voice echoed in the hall, making everyone's ears buzz.
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. If I say a false word, I will be struck by five thunders from heaven."
Ning Yunzhao has always behaved calmly and spoken kindly and politely. This was the first time he acted and spoke like this.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but be startled.
The queen had never dealt with these ministers before, and she was so flustered by this string of words that she couldn't understand but the word "sage" kept appearing. She subconsciously took a step back and couldn't say a word.
Ning Yunzhao didn't give everyone a chance to speak, but he didn't become aggressive anymore.
"This edict was given to me when your majesty was ill. I don't know what your majesty thought about it or when it was written." He looked solemn and his voice was calm. "I also know that I took out this edict at this time.
I will be criticized, but as a human minister, I should be loyal to the king. Even if I am regarded as a treacherous person, I will not be afraid."
The concubines were so frightened that they forgot to cry when they saw the courtiers reacting to him for the first time. Although they didn't understand, they just felt that the words were very powerful.
This is what is often called righteousness and Lingran.
However, the other courtiers were not as frightened as these palace ladies, and their expressions were a little strange.
Is the righteousness Lingran?
In other words, you can call him a rogue.
Anyway, what I took was the emperor's edict. As for why this edict is like this, I don't know, how do you like it?
If he just and righteously talks about what the emperor said, warned, and wrote the edict, everyone will have to crawl around in the court for decades to distinguish the truth from the false words, and to pick out the truth from the words.
It's easy to refute a flaw.
But now Ning Yunzhao doesn't say a word of explanation, he insists that one sentence of the edict is true, and he doesn't know anything else, so it's hard to question him.
"Treat your Majesty first."
An old minister's voice sounded.
"First check what caused your Majesty's illness."
He looked at the court officials and then at the queen.
"First give an explanation to the people of the world, and then discuss the matter of the crown prince."
Drag word trick.
It's actually the best way at the moment.
For the empress and the officials who had doubts, there was still a chance as long as the crown prince was not chosen on the spot.
As for Ning Yunzhao, he believed in being loyal to the emperor and didn't care if he had to wait a little longer.
"Check! Find out how and when your majesty got sick, find out these bold eunuchs and guards, find out how all this happened, don't let anyone go..." the queen said tremblingly.
Now that the emperor cannot speak or move, and the queen mother is unconscious, she is the only person in charge in the palace.
All the officials present responded in unison.
Next, the court officials arranged for the imperial guards to take turns, arranged to summon all the officials, arranged for the imperial doctors to treat the emperor and the queen mother, and also sent orders to arrest people related to Yuan Bao and Lu Yunqi in the palace and the imperial mausoleum for questioning. The entire palace became busy.
But these things have nothing to do with Miss Jun. She stood quietly aside, like a forgotten person, and she seemed to have forgotten all these things in front of her, her eyes only looked at the emperor on the bed.
Miss Jun saw tears falling from the corners of the emperor's eyes as he lay quietly.
But she was the only one who noticed it. The chamberlains were anxiously waiting for the weeping and frightened concubines, the imperial doctors were busy looking for medical books and medical records, and the courtiers were arranging political shifts. It seemed that no one gave the emperor a second glance.
From the incident to the present, from early morning to evening, the day is not over yet, but the emperor seems to have become a forgotten person.
Yes, from now on, he is a useless person, and his position as emperor is over.
Miss Jun lowered her eyes and looked away.
"Miss Jun, please come out of the palace." An official responsible for cleaning up irrelevant people came over and said solemnly.
Although she has the title of county head, she has no chance to intervene in what will happen next, and the palace officials will not allow her to interfere.
She also made it clear that His Majesty could not be cured, and the palace officials and court officials who were wary of her would not let her stay.
Miss Jun responded and walked out.
…………..
............
At dusk, many officials gathered in front of the imperial city.
Although the officials have not been summoned yet, the commotion in the city cannot be hidden from everyone. The palace gate is closed and there are intermittent news coming out. In particular, almost all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital have entered the palace, which has caused all kinds of discussions.
"I heard that the emperor is back."
"Says he's sick."
"Why are you mobilizing so many troops when you are sick? It can't be that something happened inside."
There was a buzz of discussion in front of the palace gate, and more officials came from a distance, making the front of the imperial city extremely noisy.
Seeing Miss Jun come out, the buzzing disappeared. All eyes fell on her, but no one came forward to ask. Firstly, the guards stared at each other eagerly, and secondly, the people from Jiulingtang also hurriedly came to greet her.
, and asked Miss Jun to leave directly in the car.
"I think it won't work anymore."
"If she was really sick, why would Miss Jun leave?"
"Maybe the disease is very mild and does not require Miss Jun's treatment."
"You really treat Your Majesty as a human being. Even if Miss Jun dies, the palace will keep her on the sidelines to watch."
Discussions here arose again, and Miss Jun's carriage quickly disappeared, leaving the chaos behind.
The lights were lit in Jiulingtang, and shopkeeper Liu Chen Qi stood in front of her, welcoming her immediately when she came in.
"It's spread all over the city..." Chen Qi said anxiously, "What happened?"
"Your Majesty is ill." Miss Jun said.
really.
Chen Qi's eyes sparkled.
"What's wrong with you..." he asked next.
Before he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Liu interrupted him.
"Miss Jun," he said with a solemn expression, "something happened to the young master."
........
.........
Spring is already in full bloom and early summer is coming, but countless paper money suddenly flies up on the streets that were once red with flowers and willows, followed by a forest of white flags to summon souls, and then there are countless people wearing sackcloth and mourning.
The quiet streets were crowded with people because of the raging Jin soldiers. Paper money was kept being lifted up, scattered all over the sky, and then all over the ground. The world seemed to have returned to the cold winter, and everything was white.
"This funeral is even grander than that of Mrs. Fang and Mr. Fang." An old man in the crowd murmured, "It is indeed the Fang family."
