Donggong Ce [Rebirth]

After Fengzhang supervised the country, the emperor's bedroom remained unchanged.

After receiving the news that the emperor's dragon was not in good health, Feng Zhang came to visit him personally.

He is very clear about the emperor's situation. Before, he became ill from long-term work, and kept his illness under wraps.Feng Zhang was prepared, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Chengdian, the emperor's bedroom, was gloomy and gloomy. After Fengzhang appeared, the palace servants looked a little better and invited him in quickly.

When Eunuch Min saw him, he hurried up to meet him: "Your Highness..."

Feng Zhang snorted, "Needless to say, I know all about it. Be a little more vigilant here, and follow the arrangements of your father for the rest of the matter, and you must not go on business trips."

Before the father and son met, Feng Zhang had already understood the emperor's arrangement.Eunuch Min's heart turned a thousand times, he sighed secretly, and said yes.

Turning around the gate of the palace, Fengzhang walked to the dragon bed, was about to salute, but was startled by the people on the dragon bed.

The emperor leaned on the bed, obviously waiting for him.However, his spiritual complexion was far from what it was before.

No wonder when he came to visit the emperor the next day, the emperor asked him casually through the screen and asked him to go back.

"Here comes solemnly."

The emperor's eyeballs moved and turned to him, with a lifeless expression on his face.Feng Zhang sighed: "Father..."

The emperor laughed, as if he didn't care about his appearance, "Awesome, come here."

Something was placed in Feng Zhang's palm.

A small human figure that seems to have ink bumps on it.

He had heard of such pickling methods, but he didn't expect the emperor to take the initiative to use them.

Feng Zhang's fingers trembled, "Father..."

When the first queen left, he was still young, and he only had ignorant sadness and remembrance.The emperor has always loved him, now that he looks like this, he still uses this thing, and when we meet today, it is to explain the funeral, how can he not be sentimental.

The emperor smiled, "Surely, from now on, the imperial court will be entrusted to you."

The things he had prepared had already been placed in Feng Zhang's hands, and the emperor believed that with Feng Zhang's ability, he would definitely be able to handle the score perfectly.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor didn't say a word, just looked away in a daze.Feng Zhang opened his mouth slightly, wanting to ask something, but the emperor said: "Go."

Feng Zhang was in a daze for a moment.The emperor had already turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

After that, Feng Zhang never saw the emperor again.

It's not that he won't see him, it's that he won't see him at all.The only ones who can meet the emperor now are Eunuch Min and a few confidantes of Tiangangwei.

All the arrangements had to be made in advance, Fengzhang was disappointed, so he could only bury his head in political affairs, and even temporarily let go of Tiangangwei and handed it over to the emperor for arrangement.

Tiangangwei was originally a power controlled by the emperors of Shun, but the emperor handed it over to Fengzhang in advance.The emperor took back the manpower for the time being, took Guiyi away, and arranged things in full swing.

Everything was going on in secret, without going through Fengzhang's side, Fengzhang was tense every day, and the whole East Palace was trembling, not daring to offend His Highness the Crown Prince.Yan Qi felt troubled, so he asked Xie Gui Duoduo to enter the palace to accompany Feng Zhang.

Yan Qi considerately left the two of them alone, Xie Gui looked at his slightly thinner back, and wanted to persuade him with family and country affairs, but he couldn't speak.

Only because of Feng Zhang's words.

He said, "Father has stopped taking medicine."

Xie Gui was surprised, but did not speak.

He knew what it meant.

The wrath of the emperor lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles.How terrifying would be what the emperor bought with his life.

When the first snow fell in the twelfth lunar month, the emperor died.

The emperor made a great trip, and everyone mourned endlessly.Gyeonggi is completely white, and the festivities approaching the end of the year are finally replaced with snow white.

Among the clan, there are several princes who are of the same generation as the emperor, and they are all sealed in places far away from the mountains and rivers.The crown prince Fengzhang sent the mourning edict with the Tiangang guard, which also restricted them from moving around at this time.

After a month of busy work, the emperor was buried in Pingling, the dust of the previous dynasty was settled, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the unlucky Ministry of Rites began to be busy again.

Not long after the Zhai people had just been sent away, they hadn't taken a breath yet. First, the national funeral was busy, and then the new emperor's succession ceremony, and thirdly, how should the late emperor's posthumous title be drafted.

It stands to reason that the first emperor was a good ruler of success, and his posthumous title was easy to draw.But no matter what was presented, the new emperor would pick out the flaws. The papers were either thrown on the imperial case or thrown at his feet, and the head of the etiquette department was so worried that their hair turned white.

Seeing what happened to the Ministry of Rites, the court also tensed up: This new emperor is not easy to deal with.

At the court meeting, some officials gently reminded Fengzhang that the posthumous title is just a false name, and the emperor's martial arts and martial arts are excellent, and his merits and demerits are not afraid of future generations' comments, so why bother about the posthumous title.

Feng Zhang sneered slightly, Xie Gui held the wat board and said coldly: "This statement is wrong, Master Zhou doesn't care about fame, why don't you abandon your official position and go back to seclusion?"

So everyone shut up.

Only then did Feng Zhang speak in a deep voice: "Father is about to enter the year of his destiny, but he is plagued by serious diseases. I'm afraid there is something wrong with it..."

The courtiers suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, according to the past situation, the new emperor will at most replace some key figures, and then replace the previously selected candidates.But the previous emperor had already entered the emperor's mausoleum, but the new emperor suddenly brought up this matter...

Not good.

Halfway through the first month, things started from the Imperial Medical Office.

The new emperor became suspicious, so let's check.Feng Zhang ordered a thorough investigation of the late emperor's medical prescriptions, and Xie Gui was in charge.The people from the Imperial Medical Office had a little friendship with Xie Gui, and they didn't do anything wrong, so they followed Xie Gui to search without fear of ghosts knocking on the door.

The young Mr. Xie stood in front of the Imperial Medical Office and smiled kindly, watching the guards find some prescriptions that were not quite right.

Several prescriptions were shown to the Imperial Physician Ling, who asserted that the handwriting matched the imperial physician who had been asking the late emperor for pulse all the year round, so he brought the imperial physician to ask.The man naturally denied it, but Xie Gui not only brought the forbidden army, but also brought a few small officials who were specialized in torturing prisoners.

The petty officials get along with felons all the year round, and their eyes are fierce.The imperial physician was so frightened that his legs went limp, before he was dragged away, he threw himself at Xie Gui's feet, hugged Xie Gui's legs and shouted: "My lord, save me!"

Two days later, under the watchful eyes of all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the imperial doctor confessed dejectedly that it was the lord of the Sheng family who asked him to do it.He did not poison, so he changed the prescription a little, which was not conducive to the condition of the late emperor.He wasn't brave enough, so he only dared to change a little bit to make the medicine less effective.

"Does Sheng Qing have something to say?" Feng Zhang's face was heavy, his eyes slanted, as if surprised, "I actually forgot that Sheng Qing has been sick at the government these days, anyway, Xie Qing should come to ask."

After retiring from the court, Xie Gui personally led the troops to the Sheng Mansion.

The lessons learned from the siege of the Wei Mansion are vivid in my mind. The eyes and ears of the Sheng family notified Sheng Jiangliu in advance. Before Xie Gui arrived at the main gate, he saw Sheng Jiangliu standing at the gate of the mansion with a worried expression. The children of the family, not waiting for Xie Gui, but waiting for someone else.

Both sides were aggressive, Xie Gui stepped forward leisurely, and was very kind: "Sir Sheng is not recuperating in the room, why did you stand up? The cold wind blows in the cold winter months, delaying the illness, it will be bad."

Sheng Jiangliu smiled, "Xie's boy, don't use that trick to prevaricate the old man. Tell me, how do you want to investigate?"

"Check?" Xie Gui was surprised, "Master Sheng misunderstood, this junior just asked Mr. Shan for a cup of tea."

Xie Gui's eloquence can only be deeply understood when he is against him.Sheng Jiangliu even wondered if Xie Yong used all the luck of Xie's children to exchange Xie Gui for a genius.

The atmosphere was obviously about to be tense, but Xie Gui smiled like a spring in March, extraordinarily gentle.

This is so shameless that it should be called the second, and no one dares to call it the first.

Xie Gui rolled over and dismounted, his movement was a little too big, which caused his chest discomfort, and when he looked at Sheng Jiangliu again, his face turned pale, and he said helplessly: "Master Sheng, this junior really came to ask for a cup of tea. It's so cold outside, if I put The Imperial Army returned it to His Majesty staggeringly, and His Majesty must punish me. Please help me, Your Excellency."

Sheng Jiangliu sneered: "Don't play tricks with the old man, it's just a cup of tea, you need to go to the Sheng's house to drink it? The old man said it bluntly, you can drink the tea, and the old man will bring it to you personally, but the door of the Sheng's family, you don't even want to take a step forward! "

Xie Gui looked behind him thoughtfully, "Master Sheng will not let this junior enter the mansion to see what he is trying to cover up?"

Sheng Jiangliu scolded angrily: "It's nonsense! Xie Gui, you rashly led the forbidden army to surround the mansion of the imperial court official, are you trying to rebel?!"

Xie Gui repeatedly refused, "Master Sheng, don't be impatient. How can you be the next scholar to rebel? What's more, if a scholar rebels, it won't work in three years. Master Shan thinks highly of me too."

Sheng Jiangliu said: "You also have self-knowledge."

Xie Gui immediately changed the topic, "Since Mr. Sheng knows that I am just a scholar, can I let you enter the mansion to have a look? As for the imperial army, it is better to stay outside, otherwise the Sheng mansion will be messed up, and I will feel uneasy." .”

Sheng Jiangliu glanced behind him suspiciously, Xie Gui raised his hand, summoned two people over, and said, "Master Sheng, I'll just bring two people to be witnesses, how about it?"

Xie Gui was almost blocked, and Sheng Jiangliu couldn't openly fight against the new emperor. It would not be worth the loss if he was used to scare the chickens and monkeys, so he said, "Please."

The members of the Sheng family surrounded Xie Gui to death, Xie Gui secretly sighed that the Sheng family was too suspicious, even if he took a teacup to see if he was playing tricks.

But he just waited for the Sheng family to do so.If you don't pay close attention, you won't be able to sing in the following scenes.

After patrolling and searching around, but found nothing, Sheng Jiangliu heaved a sigh of relief, and his attitude towards Xie Gui became worse: "Xie's boy, how are you?"

Xie Gui smiled: "Your Majesty, you are being polite." Then he got on his horse and said to the guards behind him: "Everyone also give personal certificates to Master Sheng, and Master Sheng is loyal to His Majesty..."

Before he finished speaking, Sheng Jiangliu just flicked his sleeve, and something fell out of his sleeve.

Xie Gui hurriedly said: "Pick it up for Mr. Sheng."

Sheng Jiangliu was wondering why there was something in his sleeve, but the little soldier who picked it up panicked, like holding a hot potato, and hurriedly presented it to Xie Gui.

Xie Gui's expression also changed, just like the meaningful look when he just appeared in front of the Sheng Mansion.

Xie Gui held up the puppet covered with silver needles, and said to Sheng Jiangliu, "Master Sheng, how do you explain this?"
