The courtiers did not know the inside story, so they really thought that the prince was ill. Some wanted to visit him, and some asked familiar doctors to consult him... They all cared about the heir to the rule of the imperial court.
Even those princes who have been crowned kings, those who have not been crowned kings, and those who do not know how much they weigh, are also interested in inquiring.
Don't think this is a big deal. In this day and age, no matter what disease you catch, even a common cold can be fatal.
Especially those who never get sick.
"What happened to the prince?"
Zhao Xi originally thought that the prince was just complaining about illness because of fear.
But I found that the imperial doctor really went there and didn't come back for a long, long time. This is a problem.
"Back at the official residence, the prince is indeed ill. According to the report, the prince returned to the East Palace yesterday and ordered his servants to prepare food."
"The prince fell asleep at Haishi and woke up with chills at Choushi. The princess served ginger soup. When Yinshi arrived, the prince did not feel better, so he sent someone to report to the steward."
"The imperial doctor thought that the prince was frightened and worried, and was invaded by wind and cold, which caused the exchange of cold and heat..."
This Wang Zhongzheng is also illiterate and can't even speak clearly.
But Zhao Xi probably understood, that is to say, the prince had a cold.
A cold is just a cold. Does it have anything to do with fear and worry? Who randomly added this cause?
However, Zhao Xi can probably understand.
This guy, mood swings can most affect a person’s immunity.
I remember there is a saying in later generations that when a person is depressed, the probability of getting sick is three times that of when he is happy.
It’s unclear whether this is true, but it is certain that people’s emotions are related to resistance.
The prince was so frightened last night that he might really be sick.
Zhao Xi ignored Wang Zhongzheng's circling eyes. He was thinking about how to make his son really understand.
"Guan family, what happened to the prince?"
Good guys, the old and new cabinets are all here.
In this situation, as a king, should Zhao Xi have some grudge?
Zhao Xi really didn't. Seeing this situation, Zhao Xi remembered that when he was the prince, Wen Yanbo lifted the sheets off...
This time it's just that more people came.
"The prince occasionally feels cold, and the imperial doctor is administering medicine. However, I would like to know why you all came here at the same time?"
Zhao Xi doesn't mind, but it doesn't mean that Zhao Xi thinks this situation is normal.
If he knew what happened at the Qinzheng Hall last night and what happened today, it's hard to say whether the king would be wary.
"There are rumors in the official family and the court that the prince fell ill last night, and the imperial doctor applied medicine all night, but he has not improved this morning."
"That's why I decided to do this after discussing with the rich prime minister."
The person who answered this time was Wang Anshi. Regardless of whether Zhao Xi named Wang Anshi as the prime minister or not, Wang Anshi consciously assumed the responsibility of the prime minister.
Also, from the earliest minister-in-law to the cabinet after the implementation of the three-level decision-making system, he was the most senior one.
"Oh...~It's okay then. Just do what you have to do. Now during the imperial meeting, you all are busy with affairs."
"The prince is just disturbed by the cold, so he won't mobilize troops like this. What's more, how will the courtiers think of acting like this?"
"Let's go back!"
Zhao Xi knew the root cause of his son's illness. If the prince knew that all the cabinet ministers were worried about him, he might not be able to cure his illness.
Wang Anshi seemed to want to say something else, but Fu Bi made a pulling move...
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
That's what Wang Anshi said.
That's the good thing about Fu Bi, he is very disciplined.
The ministers and ministers retreated, but Zhao Xi's face instantly darkened.
This is definitely not a coincidence! It is obvious that someone is creating momentum, and the purpose of creating momentum is to spread the content of the conversation between father and son in Qinzhengdian last night, or to let ministers know in other ways.
The exchange between Qin Zhengdian and his son last night happened solely between father and son, so there is no problem with it.
But if it spreads in the court, it will be a different situation. In addition, the old and new cabinets swarm in early in the morning...~
Such thoughts!
Once the trip takes place, the story will be a different version...~
The officials were wary of the prince's frequent approach to ministers, so they issued a warning in the Qinzheng Hall.
The prince pretended to be ill in order to make progress, while cabinet ministers and even court officials entered the palace to visit the patient, but were blocked by the officials.
It was also because of the collective actions of the cabinet and even the counselors of the Pavilion Lao Yuan that the officials were even more wary of the prince.
So... the prince is about to be left out by the officials, and the officials have other thoughts because of this.
Zhao Xi thought about it and could think through the entire plan.
Unexpectedly, while the second oldest child in the family was playing war with Annan, there was actually someone who harbored fantasies...
Zhao Xi didn't even know if this was a family misfortune.
What’s so good about this throne?
"Wang Zhongzheng, give me a thorough investigation! Starting from the palace, I allow you to do whatever you can, so you must give me a thorough investigation!"
A long time ago, during the reign of the late Emperor, Zhao Xi first used money to silence the servants of Neiyuan.
Unexpectedly, after many years, the servants of Neiyuan have already received their monthly salary, and the rewards from the master have also been generous, but the information of Neiyuan has leaked out again.
Zhao Xi has always been kind to the servants in the palace. Even his father had a record of killing servants in the palace with a stick, but Zhao Xi did not.
He has the concept that all living beings are equal, but there are some things he cannot do.
But this time, Zhao Xi was really angry... Some people are just born mean!
Let Wang Zhongzheng do his own thing, but Zhao Xi knew that the best way at this time was to let the prince recover.
This requires doing it yourself.
"Tao Niang, I still need to make it clear to Tao Niang. What I said to my son last night did not have any temptation, let alone worry that my son would be disobedient."
"It's a pity that I still underestimate the power of the emperor's position, and overestimate the affection Tao Niang and the prince have for me!"
Sometimes speaking harsher words will have different results.
For example, now, Zhao Xi has a cold face and a strong tone, but Tao Niang listens attentively.
"Tao Niang, maybe I am a little hypocritical, but in my heart, family love is more important than the throne! Otherwise, how could I let that evil son go?"
"Tao Niang, there are rumors in the court today that the prince fell ill again and again overnight..."
"Third brother...son, he..."
Tao Niang has always been very sensitive about her son and the throne.
When Zhao Xi said this, Tao Niang already understood a little bit. She just didn't know how to express it.
"My son's cold may be related to fear. I'm worried that my son will have random thoughts when I visit the East Palace in person. At this time, I need Tao Niang."
Zhao Xi believes that Tao Niang understands what is the most appropriate solution to the current situation.
No matter what the reason is, as long as the prince's illness is not recovered, the rumors in the court will not stop.
Even after the prince recovered in the end, the officials still treated the prince as before, but in the hearts of the ministers and workers, they may not treat the prince the same way as before.
Because the purpose of this rumor is to make the officials think that in the hearts of the officials, the prince is not the only heir to the throne.
