Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

The emperor fainted, the news was not deliberately concealed, and soon the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty received the news, and several high-ranking adults rushed into the palace. The guards of the palace are impeccable.

When the First Prince led the people to the palace gate, he found that the palace gate was closed, and the solemn Habayashi army surrounded the gate layer by layer. He thought to himself: It's over, Li Xu is going to take the opportunity to make trouble in the palace, right?At this time, no one can compete with him.

He walked over with a sullen face, "Get out of the way, the king is going to enter the palace!" He was full of apprehension, thinking that he would be rejected, but he didn't expect the Habayashi army to quickly separate and invite him in respectfully.

The Eldest Prince also felt that Li Xu let him in on purpose, as if he wanted to catch a turtle. He was isolated and helpless in the palace, and no one would come to rescue him if he was killed. Dare to kill him openly.

He was hesitant, wondering whether he should enter the palace or not, the Habayashi soldiers looked at him strangely, wondering why the eldest prince hesitated.

"Your Highness, King Shun has explained to all the ministers, please enter the palace immediately, and several other princes have also been sent to invite them."

The eldest prince is not a timid person, since everyone is going, he can't find a reason not to enter the palace, so he tightened the soft sword hidden on his waist, and walked into the palace gate righteously.

The heavy palace door closed behind him. At that moment, the eldest prince thought that he was bound to die. He raised his head and walked to the emperor's bedroom, and found that there were more Habayashi soldiers around here than outside, and there were several people kneeling outside the bedroom. Veterans and clan members are all highly respected people.

"Who's in there?" he asked.

Prime Minister Wei turned to him and said, "My lord, let's go in. The doctors are treating the emperor inside. The emperor is still awake. His Royal Highness Prince Shun will accompany you inside."

"Why are you kneeling outside the hall instead of going in and waiting? It's cold outside, everyone is old, so don't kneel down and make a fuss." The eldest prince didn't feel sorry for their bodies, but felt that Li Xu was inside alone, who knew What hands and feet will move.

Wei Xiangye shook his head and said: "The imperial physicians are busy, too many people crowded inside will affect the treatment, I will go in later."

The eldest prince strode in, and was stopped by two young eunuchs at the door. He scolded with a straight face: "Presumptuous, what are you doing to stop me?"

The little eunuch timidly replied: "Returning to the prince, His Royal Highness has explained that everyone who enters the house must put on a clean coat and shoes, and wash their hands and face first."

The eldest prince sneered, Li Xu has so many tricks, isn't it just to prevent him from carrying weapons?With his small body, he can deal with him without a weapon!

After he finished washing his hands and face, he realized that he didn't need to take off his coat, he just needed to put on a clean coat. He pursed his lips and walked in with a sullen face, and saw Li Xu who was sitting beside him at a glance. With his chin propped up, his eyes stared at the position of the dragon bed, his expression unclear.

"What's the matter? Why did the father faint?" the eldest prince asked in a deep voice.

Li Xu raised his head and glanced at him, without any change in expression, and replied coldly: "I don't know, I heard about it when I was about to leave the palace, and then I have been waiting here. Feel free to find someone to ask."

In fact, you can guess without asking Li Xu, what happened last night, the emperor can persist until today before fainting is already considered very strong, the majestic emperor was actually cuckolded, no one can accept it.

The eldest prince sat down on the other side, called Eunuch Zhao to him, and asked him a few words. If there was anyone in the palace who knew the emperor's whereabouts best, it was Eunuch Zhao.

Knowing everything, Mr. Zhao told him: "The emperor stayed up all night last night and was in a gloomy mood. He only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge this morning and didn't eat. He sat for a long time and fainted when he stood up. I think that the emperor should be caused by exhaustion and too much mood swings."

The imperial physicians finished their diagnosis one by one and got to know each other thoroughly before they came to report to the two princes. The diagnosis result was similar to what Eunuch Zhao judged, it was caused by anger and lack of rest.

"However, the emperor is getting old, and his health has not been very good. After waking up from this faint, I am afraid that he will have to rest and rest. He must not be stimulated again."

Li Xu had heard this sentence many times. Since he returned to Beijing, these doctors told him that the emperor should not get angry and should rest. Heh, he didn't even think about it. In such a position, how could he have time to rest?

"Understood, when will the father wake up?"

"This... It is reasonable to say that he should wake up in an hour or two, but the emperor is too tired, so he may sleep for a longer time."

Li Xu stood up, looked at the eldest prince and said, "Since that's the case, then there's no need for us to wait here. Instead, we've disturbed father's rest. What does elder brother think?"

The eldest prince was worried, and always felt that Li Xu was going to do something, "No, I want to stay here to serve the sick!"

Li Xu didn't stop him from fulfilling his filial piety, "Brother, please do whatever you want. It won't be too late to open the palace gate after Father wakes up. Please stay in the palace during this time."

There were also a few little princes living in the palace, and the fourth prince who lived far away, all came one after another. Except for Li Xu, the rest obediently waited by the emperor's side.

The emperor slept until dark. When he woke up, he felt dizzy, hungry, and couldn't even speak.

Eunuch Zhao was the first to notice that the emperor was awake, and shouted excitedly: "The emperor is awake, send the imperial physician!"

The princes surrounded him, and you started to care about the emperor's body. The emperor was already dizzy, but the chattering made him feel even more uncomfortable. He even suffered from tinnitus.

He pointed out tremblingly, and shouted at a group of sons: "Get out... get out!"

The voices of the princes stopped abruptly. The others were used to the emperor's cold face since they were young and didn't think it was a thing. The eldest prince was scolded in public when he was old, and he couldn't hold back.

Eunuch Zhao hurriedly explained: "Your highnesses, the emperor just woke up and is exhausted, and he hasn't eaten all day and night. He must be hungry now. Your highnesses, why don't you go to the side hall to rest for a while and use something."

He asked the emperor to give credit to the princes, "Your Highness has been guarding here for a whole day, and they haven't eaten anything. They are all concerned about your majesty's health."

The emperor slowed down, glanced at his sons, frowned and asked, "Where's Li Xu?"

Eunuch Zhao replied with a smile: "The lord came here at the first time. After hearing the diagnosis from the imperial physicians, he left to do other things. Now he is reviewing memorials in the side hall."

The emperor was dissatisfied and felt that Li Xu's filial piety was not enough. At this time, he was still in the mood to criticize the memorial. He was afraid that he would not be able to wake up, and he would succeed to the throne justifiably.

"By the way, the little princess has also entered the palace. She is extremely anxious, and now she is going to pay her respects."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little princess ran in, threw herself on the side of the bed, looked at the emperor with red eyes, "Grandfather, you finally woke up, but Shu'er was frightened!"

The emperor finally smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Grandfather will be fine for sure. You are just too tired. You can't be like this in the future. You have to eat well and sleep well to be healthy."

"Yes, you are right, is that Shu'er willing to stay in the palace with the imperial grandfather?"

The little princess immediately hugged the emperor's arm and said: "Even if you don't tell Shu'er, you will stay here. The king also told you to let Shu'er supervise you to eat and sleep well, lest you be too willful, and Eunuch Zhao dare not disobey you." you."

"Then you dare?"

The little princess pouted and said, "For your health, Shu'er dare not do it. If you punish Shu'er for this, Shu'er will ignore you in the future."

"Haha, no, Shu'er is so obedient, how can the grandfather be willing?" The emperor drove away his sons, leaving the little princess by his side. Facing the little girl who has no power and no selfishness, the emperor feels calm and comfortable. .

Li Xu knew that the emperor was definitely not willing to see anyone right now, so he didn't even meet him, and left the palace and returned home after finishing his work.

The palace without Kou Xiao and the little princess seemed deserted. After Li Xu took a shower and had dinner, Liu Shu came with a stack of account books. It was the account book of the wool factory that Li Xu asked for before, and he had no time to look at it before. shelved.

"My lord, is the emperor alright?"

Li Xu replied while turning the page: "It's okay, there is no other problem except that you look a little tired."

Liu Shu let out an "oh" in disappointment, then lowered his voice and asked, "Did the ministers not mention the establishment of the crown prince?"

Li Xu raised his head and glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "They want to mention it, but does the emperor want to hear it? Those few are all human beings. Seeing the state of the emperor, they must not dare to mention it, so as not to aggravate the emperor's condition. .”

"Your Majesty can faint like this for no reason. Without a crown prince, you are not justified enough to supervise the country."

"So what, with today's situation, no one dares to say anything about this king's handling of court affairs."

"The eldest prince really gave up?"

"Who knows, even if he wants to do something, he needs someone to help him. I'm not afraid of him now."

Li Xu read the accounts for half the night, and there was a lot of information in his mind. He roughly calculated the number of people in the Northwest and the sales of the wool factory, and found that there was only enough to supply the Northwest Army. Millions of people have to spend the winter.

Now there is still more than a month before the cold winter, and even if we work overtime and overtime, we can't fully supply it. However, some cotton has been planted in the Northwest this year. If we buy it back, we should be able to make a batch of cotton jackets.

Li Xu spread cotton to the Northwest. He thought that the common people would grow cotton in large quantities, but it turned out not to be the case. In order to ensure food production, not many people were willing to grow cotton, and they only dared to try to grow some. The output was not as good as that of South Vietnam. output of the village.

Li Xu wrote a letter to Lei Yang, asking him to transport several shipments of padded jackets from South Vietnam to the Northwest. Padded jackets are definitely necessary for winter, and they are not expensive, much cheaper than sweaters and woolen jackets.

Li Xu also made a batch of down jackets and duvets this year, which are exclusively for the aristocratic circle and sold in limited quantities. In the capital, Zhang Shuo took people around the kang, and only accepted orders from ordinary people. The homes of high-ranking officials and nobles have generally been repaired At that time, Zhang Shuo asked people to take the kang. Even if they didn't, he would not accept the orders from these people. He would only let the other party send people to study. It's not difficult anyway.

With the kang, the people in the capital will definitely be able to live very warmly this winter. Li Xu is not too worried about the people in the capital. Compared with the prosperous and prosperous capital, other places obviously need this more.

As a result, there was an additional training institution in the capital, which specialized in teaching how to cook a kang. All you need is a team of ten people to learn how to do a kang. You only need to pay a study fee of [-] yuan, and then these people can form a group to go to other places. Give people a kang to earn some living expenses.

There is nothing to do in winter, so why not do it if you can have an extra income?
