His Majesty once married me

Chapter 125 The Initiator

As soon as he felt Qi Yunheng's pulse, Ouyang knew that he was fine, but his body was exhausted and his energy was low, so he fell asleep under the body's self-protection function.

"When did Your Majesty fall asleep recently, and how long can you sleep every day?" Ouyang asked.

"...It's not much different from when you were in the palace." Eunuch Wei hesitated for a while, and chose a more cryptic answer.

When Ouyang was still in the palace, although Qi Yunheng would always report to the summer palace before dinner, after dinner, Ouyang still had to chat with Qi Yunheng for a while, and then go to the study specially arranged for Qi Yunheng to doze off for a while , No matter what, you have to go to bed at Haishi—that is, after the second watch, and then you and I will fiddle with each other, toss and toss, and fall asleep, basically at midnight—the third watch.

On the second day, because Qi Yunheng still had an early morning and had to go back to Taihua Palace, he had to get up at five o'clock at the latest.

Calculated in this way, Qi Yunheng's daily rest time is only less than three hours.

After Ouyang left the palace, Qi Yunheng was able to save at least one hour a day for rest. Even if he used it to deal with government affairs and study the way of being an emperor, it shouldn't be more difficult than doing those things and tossing back and forth in the secret road.

That being the case, how could Qi Yunheng be so tired?

Ouyang frowned, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

Perhaps, it is his fault.

After Ouyang moved out of the summer palace, although Qi Yunheng lost a lot of physical exercise, he also lost the food to replenish his physical energy, especially the drinking water that had been full of spiritual energy.

But at this time, Qi Yunheng was used to going to bed late and getting up early, and never thought that he needed to combine work and rest to maintain his body, so he was like a pool that only drains water but does not fill it, becoming more and more empty until it cracked and collapsed.

If so...

Ouyang looked at Qi Yunheng's face, especially those tightly closed eyes, sighed quickly, then turned to Eunuch Wei and said, "Please trouble your subordinates to go out of the palace again to collect samples from my mansion." .”

After finishing speaking, Ouyang asked Eunuch Wei for a pen and paper, and wrote an ancient character on the paper that looked like a ghostly drawing.

"Give this to the housekeeper in my house, he will know what to take." Ouyang handed the paper to Eunuch Wei and asked him to hand it over to the little eunuch who was out on errands, and then said, "Give the imperial physician and Please invite all six ministers in, it’s not a big deal, don’t make it seem like the building is about to collapse and is at stake.”

"No!" Although Eunuch Wei still had doubts about Ouyang's judgment, there was nothing wrong with Ouyang's order, and he really didn't want to leave the six ministers outside, so he followed Ouyang's order and arranged for a young eunuch first. Go to Ouyang's mansion to get what Ouyang wanted, and then invite the imperial physician and six ministers into the inner room.

As the sober person with the highest "status" at present, Ouyang directly took over the current right to speak, asked the six ministers to stand aside for the time being, and ordered the imperial physician to take Qi Yunheng's pulse again.

"To tell the truth." Ouyang emphasized, "If you can't even diagnose such symptoms, you don't need to be doctors any more—you're not qualified!"

Hearing what Ouyang said, the two imperial physicians subconsciously walked towards Qi Yunheng, while the other two imperial physicians glanced at each other and bowed directly to answer: "I am nine thousand years old, as far as I can judge, Your Majesty... very similar to Qi Yunheng." He was overworked and fell asleep."

"It would have been better to say no!" Ouyang rolled his eyes, "It was nothing at all, but your hesitation almost scared the adults out of their heads!"

"Is Your Majesty okay?"

"Nine thousand years old know medical skills?"

Minister Ji Hong of the Ministry of Rites and Minister Zhu Bian of the Ministry of Punishment spoke at the same time, but they asked different questions.

"If you don't believe me, come up and touch it yourself!" Ouyang said coldly with his face down.

Today's scholars are mostly knowledgeable, and they often dabble in medical books, so there is a saying that "if you don't look good, you can be a good doctor".

Hearing what Ouyang said, Ji Hong couldn't help being taken aback, but Zhu Bian was obviously moved.

It's just that neither of them took any action yet, but the Hubu Shangshu Wanshan stood up first, came to Qi Yunheng's bed, took his pulse, carefully felt the beating of the pulse, and soon his face eased , bowed and retreated.

"Your Majesty is indeed fine, you just need to rest well." Wan Shan said with certainty.

"Great!" Mi Su, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Shi Wanshan has a good reputation and high prestige, once he said that His Majesty is fine, even Zhu Bian did not step forward to verify it.

Yuan Zhiwang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said a little too bluntly: "If that's the case, then shall I resign for now?"

The remaining five ministers had different expressions, but they obviously didn't agree with Yuan Zhiwang's idea.

Ouyang also disagrees.

"Why retreat? You are gone. Who will work for His Majesty?" Ouyang scolded very bluntly. Don't be idle, you guys, act quickly, deal with the things you can deal with as much as possible, and let His Majesty take a good rest for a few days!"

"This one……"

The six Shangshu looked at each other, and for a while, no one answered.

Even Wan Shan has been working with Qi Yunheng for four or five years, and Mi Su, who is the youngest but has the longest seniority, has joined Qi Yunheng's command since the second year he raised his army, and has "exclusive power" over him. All of his problems are well known.

Help Qi Yunheng handle government affairs?That's really a birthday star who hangs himself and is impatient to live!

Seeing that all the ministers were silent, Ouyang raised his eyebrows, "What, is there a problem?"

"It's more appropriate to make a decision on this matter after His Majesty wakes up." Huo Bingshen, Minister of the Ministry of War who least wanted to "share" the emperor's government affairs, replied cautiously.

"Wait, wait until His Majesty has worked too hard again and suddenly passed out?!" Ouyang asked coldly with a straight face, "Today, I will do political affairs and make a decision on this matter!"

As soon as the words fell, Ouyang turned his head and said to Eunuch Wei: "Go and find ten literate court ladies and ten literate eunuchs. The younger the better."

"Jiqian Sui is looking for these people because he wants to..." Eunuch Wei was also taken aback.

"Sorting the memorials." Ouyang said, "The emperor's hardest thing every day is to read the memorials, the most laborious thing is to read the memorials, and the most time-consuming thing is to read the memorials. What these people have to do is to read the memorials for him. Useful ones are kept, and useless ones are thrown away; those that should be considered by the six departments should be returned to the six departments, and those that should be decided by His Majesty should be handed over to His Majesty."

"This..." Eunuch Wei also hesitated.

"Anyway, the six ministers won't be able to leave the palace for a while, so let them work hard, and guide the palace people you picked out, so that they understand what is going on with sorting memorials." Ouyang continued, "Remember Don't choose the young ones, don't choose those old fritters who have learned to use public affairs for personal gain and steal and cheat. Also, the maid who takes over this job must be prepared to die in the old palace, as voluntary as possible, Don't look for those who still want to go out of the palace to reunite with their families, or even want to climb high!"

"In this case, it's better to just find the servant..."

"I can't believe it!" Ouyang interrupted, "A man has ambitions, and a man who has cut off his descendants is still a man. There is no such thing as a eunuch in this world! If it is not urgent, I am worried that you will not be able to gather people for a while. I want to use all women!"

Eunuch Wei was speechless for a moment.

Although he intends to argue a few words for the group he represents, and talk to Jiu Chitose about the relationship between ambition and loyalty, he is also worried that such a dispute will divert the topic to the issue of whether a eunuch is a man or not.

After thinking about it, Eunuch Wei felt that although what Jiu Qiansui was going to do now was a bit presumptuous, it could not be regarded as usurping power.He followed Qi Yunheng all day long, and he knew the content of those memorials. It would be considered good if he could pick out one of the ten books that had something to say. Under control, the big deal is to silence her after the event, and there will be no trouble.

So, after a little weighing, Eunuch Wei kept his mouth shut and picked someone up according to Ouyang's request.

The remaining six ministers didn't say anything more.

These people dislike everything and will not dislike power, and reviewing memorials is an extremely important power, no matter how cumbersome and boring, it is definitely worth fighting for, not to mention that this matter is not as simple as it seems——

There are many hidden twists and turns in the memorial!

Even the seemingly most useless invitation to the emperor will have different effects depending on whether it can be handed over to the emperor and when it will be handed over to the emperor!

But soon, the six ministers discovered that the nine-thousand-year-old was not as "ignorant" as they thought, and the reason why they were kept was really just "work".

After Eunuch Wei brought the people requested by Ouyang to Qiankun Palace, the first thing Ouyang asked them to do was not to obey the orders of the six ministers, but to carry out all the memorials that needed to be corrected, and register them one by one. Write down who wrote the memorial, when it was written, when it was registered and compiled...all of them.

After this step is completed, the memorials that have been recorded will be handed over to the hands of the six ministers. They will lead a few more knowledgeable court ladies and eunuchs to classify them, and tell these court ladies and eunuchs why they should do this. What is the point of such a division.

Dozens of memorials have been sorted, and it's hard to tell the court ladies and eunuchs who studied with the six ministers, but Eunuch Wei has already seen the trick.

——This work can really be shared by His Majesty!

——If they can really share this matter, their servants don't have to be just servants serving tea and water!

Eunuch Wei was in a turbulent mood, and the little eunuch who had been sent to fetch things from Ouyang Mansion also rushed back, but what he brought back was a white jade water jug ​​the size of a palm.

This kettle is oval and flat, and the pattern on the surface is clearly carved out. It looks very beautiful, but it is not the common flower and bird longevity, nor is it a cloud pattern. It is weird and indescribable. The patterns drawn on paper before nine thousand years old are somewhat similar.

Eunuch Wei looked at the kettle several times, only to find that the cork used to plug the spout of the kettle was a kind of wood he couldn't recognize. It felt very good and had no smell.

But Eunuch Wei didn't dare to pull out the cork to check what was inside. He only checked the outside and brought the kettle to Ouyang.

Ouyang didn't take over.

"Find a cup and pour out some of the water in it." Ouyang ordered, "Taste it yourself and make sure it's all right, then feed the rest of the water to Your Majesty."

Eunuch Wei was taken aback for a moment, but he finally pulled out the cork from the mouth of the pot, poured out some, drank it himself, and tested the poison for His Majesty.

There is no smell at all, just ordinary white water.

Not bad to drink, but not so delicious either.

——should be non-toxic.

Eunuch Wei thought.

In order to be a good eunuch, Eunuch Wei studied hard how to identify poisons and the channels of poisoning. From this, he learned that there is no truly colorless and tasteless poison in the world—the reason why poisons are always accompanied by spirits is to Use spirits to numb people's taste buds and cover up the unique taste of poison.

After a little hesitation, Eunuch Wei finally poured most of the remaining pot of water into Qi Yunheng's mouth.
