Chapter Three Hundred and Thirteen How is this dizzy king still alive!
Gu Da squinted his eyes, glanced at Jiang Mian, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Jiang Ge, come with us!"
It wasn't just Jiang Mian who got up too hastily and fell to the ground. Apart from the dozens of officials who had been kneeling there for a long time, except for those who were carried away unconscious beforehand, most of the remaining officials fell again when they got up.
After straightening their clothes, regardless of the injuries on their heads or faces, they all followed Gu Dayong in the direction of Kunning Palace in a majestic manner.
At this time, the news that the emperor had been found had not yet spread, so Jiang Mian and others had no idea that Zhu Houzhao, who they thought had been burned to death in a fire, was actually in Kunning Palace.
In Kunning Palace, the queen looked at the emperor beside the emperor's bed, while the queen mother was sitting in the outer hall, with several chamberlains and maids standing aside.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and rested her mind for a while. Soon there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then she heard Gu Dayong's voice saying: "The Queen Mother, Mr. Jiang Ge and others are asking to see you!"
The Queen Mother nodded slightly and said: "Pass!"
Soon Jiang Mian and other officials walked into the hall one by one. When they saw the Queen Mother sitting there, all the officials slowly bowed down.
"I will pay my respects to the Queen Mother, Queen Mother Jin An!"
Opening her eyes, the Queen Mother waved her hands and said: "Everyone, please stand up!"
However, Jiang Mian and others knelt there motionless, raised their heads and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I would like to ask the Queen Mother for permission to see Your Majesty. If the Queen Mother refuses, I would rather kneel down than I can!"
The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Mian, then looked at the officials and said slowly: "Are you all thinking this way?"
All the officials looked at each other and nodded in unison: "I sincerely ask the Queen Mother for permission!"
The Queen Mother looked calmly and said: "Okay, you are so loyal. Your Majesty will definitely be very happy if you know about it. However, Ai Jia said before that Your Majesty is unwell and unconscious now. It is not impossible for you to go see Your Majesty, but
We can only choose a few people to go."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Jiang Mian in confusion. Didn't Jiang Mian tell them before that the emperor had disappeared in the fire? Why now, looking at the reaction of the Queen Mother, it was not the same at all.
As for whether the Queen Mother would deceive them, they did not think that the Queen Mother would do that, because if the emperor had really passed away, concealing it would be of no benefit to the Queen Mother, and she would not be able to deceive them.
But if the Queen Mother did not deceive them, then this means that the emperor did not actually die in the fire. So what happened to Jiang Mian's previous news about the emperor's death?
Now even Jiang Mian looked at the Queen Mother with a surprised look. That was not what the Queen Mother told them before. You must know that when the Queen Mother summoned Jiao Fang and them cabinet members, she said that the emperor was missing. Why?
Now the Queen Mother is as stable as Mount Tai. Could it be that the Emperor is really not dead?
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, the emperor must be dead! If the emperor is not dead, how could he not show up!"
Jiang Mian comforted himself and encouraged himself.
At this moment, the Queen Mother's eyes fell on Jiang Mian and said, "Mr. Jiang Ge, you can choose a few adults to visit His Majesty!"
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Mian slowly nodded and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother: "I respectfully obey the decree!"
Soon Jiang Mian selected several high-ranking people from among the officials.
At this moment, Gu Dayong squinted his eyes and said in a sharp voice: "Sir, please come with us!"
Jiang Mian and others followed Gu Dayong slowly into the palace. From a distance, they saw a figure sitting beside the bed. Who could it be if she wasn't the Queen?
Just above the bed guarded by the queen, a figure was lying.
When he saw the queen's figure, Jiang Mian couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and even his steps couldn't help but pause.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Mian tried his best to keep a calm expression on his face, and even accelerated his steps a bit. In fact, several other officials had the same idea in their hearts.
They had already believed what Jiang Mian said, otherwise they would not have been so easily persuaded by Jiang Mian to gain this great support.
So they were more concerned about whether the emperor was alive or dead.
Arriving almost a foot in front of the bed, Gu Da paused, turned around, stared at Jiang Mian and other officials and said: "Sir, your Majesty is unconscious at the moment. The imperial doctor has said that your Majesty needs to rest quietly, so
My lords, please don't come too close, it's okay to visit His Majesty here."
The eyes of several people all fell on the face of Zhu Houzhao, who was lying on the bed. Naturally, everyone was familiar with Zhu Houzhao. Naturally, they recognized at a glance that it was Zhu Houzhao who was lying quietly on the bed at this moment.
Even if you find someone to impersonate Zhu Houzhao, let alone whether the other person has the courage, the key point is that there is no such similar person in the world.
Not everyone can have the innate aura of Zhu Houzhao, so just by seeing Zhu Houzhao, they can be sure that this is really Zhu Houzhao.
Jiang Mian swayed slightly, with a look of horror on his face, and looked stupidly at the emperor lying there.
At this moment, Gu Da, who saw Jiang Mian's expression, stared at Jiang Mian with a sneer on his lips and said, "Master Jiang, are you very surprised to see His Majesty?"
After coming back to his senses, Jiang Mian fell to his knees with a pop, and said with a look of infinite surprise on his face: "It is an old minister who is ignorant, and he actually listened to the rumors in the market. Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and is safe and sound. This is really a blessing to our Ming Dynasty!"
Several other officials also prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting one by one: "Your Majesty is well, Ming Dynasty is very lucky!"
At this time, the queen frowned and said: "My dear sirs, your majesty is not feeling well and needs to be recuperated quietly. Now that I have seen him, I would like to ask you to handle the affairs of the court with peace of mind. When your majesty wakes up, you will be very pleased."
Jiang Mian and others saluted the queen and said: "I respectfully obey the empress' order!"
In the outer hall, the Queen Mother was sitting there as steady as Mount Tai, while Jiang Mian and others slowly came out one by one. The ministers who stayed in the outer hall looked at them one by one when Jiang Mian and others came out.
Obviously what they want to know most is how the emperor is doing?
Jiang Mian glanced at all the officials, took a deep breath, stepped forward and bowed to the Queen Mother and said: "This old minister is so stupid that he listened to the rumors in the market. I beg the Queen Mother to punish me!"
The other officials watched Jiang Mian and several of his colleagues enter the palace to pay homage to the emperor. They all prostrated themselves to the ground and begged for mercy. They didn't know what was going on.
Although they were very surprised that the emperor was safe and sound, the fools also knew that they must imitate Jiang Mian and others and apologize to the queen mother.
The Queen Mother looked at the officials kneeling on the ground, waved her hands deeply and said: "The Ai family knows that you are also concerned about the Ming Dynasty. However, as officials of the imperial court, you actually believe the rumors in the market. The Ai family will not treat you today." This crime will be punished by Your Majesty when Your Majesty wakes up in the future!"
All the officials showed a bit of bitterness on their faces, but they still bowed to the Queen Mother: "I will admit my guilt!"
Watching Jiang Mian and others leave, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, but thought that the emperor was unconscious. If it was only for a short time, that would be fine. If it took a long time, a similar scene would happen again.
Her eyes fell on Gu Dayong, and the Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Gu Dayong, please give me an order immediately. You must look for a miracle doctor. Even if you give me an imperial certificate, you must find a way to wake up the emperor!"
After pondering for a moment, the Queen Mother continued: "Where is Chu Yi now? Your Majesty trusted him so much and entrusted your power to him in vain. Why did he run out of the Forbidden City if he didn't stay by your Majesty's side?"
Obviously the Queen Mother was venting her anger on Chu Yi. Fortunately, the Queen Mother was not unreasonable. She knew very well that Zhu Houzhao could not do without Chu Yi's help. She sorted out her thoughts and said: "Send a message to the Ai family to Chu Yi and ask him to put down everything." Return to Beijing as quickly as possible!"
In fact, the Queen Mother felt great pressure due to such a commotion today. After all, she was just a woman, and she had never experienced such a scene.
But when Jiang Mian and others left the palace gate, a group of officials surrounded Jiang Mian and others.
An official frowned and said to Jiang Mian: "Mr. Ge, are you sure you have seen His Majesty? Isn't there someone pretending to be His Majesty?"
Obviously at this time, there are still some people who are unwilling to believe that Zhu Houzhao is still alive after such a fire.
Jiang Mian smiled bitterly and said: "I may have old eyesight, but are these adults also as old as me?"
Several other officials who went to the palace with Jiang Mian to visit the Emperor also had wry smiles on their faces, indicating that they had really seen the Emperor and not someone pretending to be one.
Several highly respected and powerful officials opened their mouths and immediately dispelled many people's doubts.
At this moment, several imperial doctors who had diagnosed the emperor happened to come out of the palace. Seeing this, Jiang Mian and others quickly stepped forward to stop the imperial doctors.
When the imperial doctors saw Jiang Mian and the others, they couldn't help but be slightly startled. They saluted Jiang Mian and the others and said, "I have met all of you, sir!"
Jiang Mian looked at the leader and said: "Mr. Hu, I would like to ask you, have you just treated His Majesty?"
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Hu and others showed a look of embarrassment on their faces, and they heard Imperial Physician Hu cupping his hands and saying, "Please don't embarrass me, Sir. It concerns Your Majesty, but as ministers, it is difficult for us to leak it!"
If the imperial physician in the palace can arbitrarily reveal the condition of the queen, the queen mother, or even the emperor, it might be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives. Therefore, the royal family has very strict restrictions on imperial physicians. Under normal circumstances, that is absolutely not allowed. The imperial doctor revealed the illness.
Jiang Mian and others were also a little anxious. When they saw Dr. Hu, they almost instinctively stepped forward to ask, but they forgot the taboo.
Jiang Mian came back to his senses, nodded at Imperial Physician Hu and others, and said, "I am very pleased that you all can fulfill your duties faithfully."
The officials then dispersed.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Jiang Mian returned to his mansion with a rather uneasy expression.
The back garden of the mansion is located. Jiang Mian entered the back garden without even having time to change out of his court clothes.
I saw a very familiar figure sitting there leisurely in the garden pavilion. Who could it be if it wasn't his mentor Mu Zhaigong.
Stepping forward quickly, Mu Zhaigong raised his head and looked at Jiang Mian, who looked a little strange. He pushed a cup of hot tea in front of him, smiled slightly and said, "You don't look right. Could it be that something happened in an accident?"
Jiang Mian had been under the sun for a long time, and he was very thirsty. Now he picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. He raised his head and smiled bitterly at Mu Zhaigong and said: "My mentor is now giving his disciples to him."
What a mess!"
Muzhai Gong couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Mian with some doubts. Apparently he didn't quite understand why Jiang Mian said that.
Jiang Mian didn't care what Duke Muzhai looked like, and told him how he summoned a group of ministers to force the emperor to go to the palace and meet the emperor.
When Duke Mu Zhai heard Jiang Mian mention that the emperor was still in a temporary coma, he couldn't help but exclaimed, and even accidentally knocked over the teacup in front of him.
Looking at Jiang Mian, Mu Zhaigong almost jumped up and breathed quickly: "You said Zhu Houzhao did not die in the fire, but was temporarily comatose?"
Jiang Mian nodded heavily.
Muzhaigong gritted his teeth and said: "Are you sure you saw it correctly? How could he still be alive?"
Jiang Mian shook his head and said: "It's not like the disciple can't even recognize His Majesty. Moreover, there are several other elders who accompanied the disciple to visit His Majesty. Even if the disciple admits his mistake, will the other adults also admit his mistake?
"
Mu Zhaigong slapped his palm on the stone table in front of him, and said with a flash of light in his eyes: "This faint king is still alive. He is so powerful that even this can't kill him!"
Jiang Mian watched with a wry smile on his face as Mu Zhaigong vented his shock and anger.
After a while, Mu Zhaigong gradually regained his composure, looked at Jiang Mian and said: "You said Zhu Houzhao fell into a coma?"
Jiang Mian said: "It is indeed true. It can be confirmed that His Majesty has really fallen into a coma. The Queen Mother even summoned all the imperial doctors to go and break His Majesty's heart. When leaving the palace, the disciple met the Imperial Physician Hu and others. Unfortunately, he was forced to do so by the royal family.
It's taboo, and several imperial doctors dare not inform their disciples and others about His Majesty's condition."
Mu Zhaigong stroked his beard and said with a flash of light in his eyes: "We must find out whether Zhu Houzhao is alive or dead, and what his condition is!"
While speaking, Duke Mu Zhai said to Jiang Mian: "Immediately send people to the residences of several imperial doctors. No matter what method you use, you must find out the emperor's physical condition!"
Jiang Mian looked at Mu Zhaigong and hesitated: "Teacher, it's still too late to stop now. As long as the teacher returns to Jiangnan immediately and clears all the clues, even if the emperor wakes up, he will never be able to find the teacher!"
Mu Zhaigong glared at Jiang Mian, shook his head and said: "It's too late, even if I retreat this time, unless the emperor and Chu Yi give up the idea of collecting taxes and opening up the sea, otherwise, sooner or later, we will still have to settle it.
