Ben Hou is ill

Chapter 21 Bai Xi

In fact, Yan Zhaoge shouldn't ask this question, because the emperor is the center of a dynasty, and his physical condition is concerned by many people. Any illness will trigger a chain reaction, unless the emperor is old and frail Otherwise, the emperor would not reveal whether he is healthy or not, and whether he is sick.If the emperor was suspicious, he would feel that the courtier had a different heart, so he was inquiring about his physical condition.

But Yan Zhaoge really cared about the emperor's physical condition, and she could tell whether the worried look on her face was real or fake, so she didn't care about this little offense, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I've slept a little lately. It was late, and I ate some candied fruit again."

Yan Zhaoge heaved a sigh of relief.It's not good to be sick.

It wasn't that she was overly worried, it was that the previous emperor died strangely. Although she didn't personally experience the period from the illness to the death of the emperor, the eldest princess told her about it in detail later.

At the palace banquet on New Year’s Eve in the fourth year of Xingping, because it was just a family banquet, there were not many emperors and concubines, and the three princes were all in good health. There were also several clans with high status present, so the emperor had a few drinks. The prince was also there, and the two of them talked about some things outside the palace. Maybe it was because the emperor had a wind blowing for a while that night, and he caught a cold the next day. After another week, the emperor fell ill.First, he continued to have fever, sleepless night sweats, and then coughed up sputum and hemoptysis, and his body also lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

According to the eldest princess, the emperor vomited not only blood before his death, but also fragments of internal organs, and the remains were smelly and black. The imperial physician deduced from this that the emperor might be suffering from a corpse-like disease, but there was nothing he could do.Most of those who got the passed corpse could only wait to die, and those who recovered by chance were also inexplicably cured, and the imperial physician could only let the emperor live for a while at most.However, the emergency was fierce, and there was no effective treatment for diseases such as passing corpses. By the time the imperial physician confirmed what kind of disease it was, it was already too late.After barely surviving until April, the emperor died.

After the emperor died, the Duke of Shu immediately launched a mutiny. He first controlled the courtiers, and then took over the remnants of the Beijing camp. Even the family members of the imperial physician who had healed the emperor were imprisoned and executed.

When Yan Zhaoge and the eldest princess discussed this matter, they felt that the emperor's illness was probably caused by the public of Shu, but no one knew how the Duke of Shu had attacked the emperor. No one in the palace had ever heard of it. The dead body, regardless of the maids and servants, the clan who came to the banquet that day, including the Duke of Shu himself, had never been sick. The Duke of Shu even lived to the day when the Northern Court returned to Chang'an.After the emperor got sick, there were people in the palace who had fever or cough. These people were all executed by the Duke of Shu later. The only thing to be thankful for is that the emperor never visited the three princes after he got sick. The prince who was snatched from the palace was not sick and grew up healthy and sound.

But although Yan Zhaoge knew everything that happened afterwards, she couldn't prevent it. She couldn't control the affairs in the palace, and she couldn't tell anyone about things like rebirth. She didn't even dare to tell her father about it. , Trapped her as a lunatic, then Yan Zhaoge really wanted to kill himself.She could only hope that after so many changes, the Shu Kingdom Guild would not dare to act rashly due to the unfavorable situation.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhaoge inevitably had a look of sadness in his eyes. Being seen by the emperor, he felt that she was loyal and loyal, and even the occasional cough caused by gluttony was always on his mind, so he was very worried.The emperor pondered for a moment, and said what should have been said in advance when he was kind to Yan Zhaoge after the announcement of the list.

"Yongyue, you have a great talent, I can't bear to let you fall into the top three, and the top three can only be sent to the county magistrate to become an official. When you return to Chang'an, you will have to study for ten or even decades. Those years were wasted. After all, you are from a noble family, and it is nothing to be granted a Jinshi status. There is not much difference between a first-class Jinshi and a third-class Jinshi. You have a pure, ambitious and pure personality, and you don’t have the disgust that ordinary noble children are prone to be contaminated with. I will give you one. Number two, I promise you to serve me, don't let me down, don't let my sister down."

Yan Zhaoge was stunned, and after a few breaths, she looked at the emperor, determined that it was not her hallucination, made a grateful appearance, knelt down on the ground, and said excitedly: "I thank the Lord for your grace! I am the descendant of Yan Kingdom, The country was destroyed, the family was destroyed, and the family was displaced. The late emperor appreciated the whole family of humble officials, and did not think that the grandfather of the minister was stupid. I am grateful for your kindness, and I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate. However, the minister is only twenty years old, has not made any achievements, and has not completed his talents and studies. Your Majesty is so gracious. I am afraid that I will be criticized, and my majesty please take it back."

The emperor thought that Yan Zhaoge was just pretending to evade, and everyone understood the trick of making three concessions and three speeches, so he smiled and said: "Yingyue has a great talent, but it's not my falsehood, but the eldest princess often praises Yongyue. The strategy is well deserved." The top ten in this subject, the test papers are not reviewed by me, so it can't be regarded as nepotism. I think it is very appropriate to use it as a servant."

Yan Zhaoge wanted to decline, but a palace guard broke into the palace, wearing light armor, with a hasty expression, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess invites you to Shouning Palace."

The smile on the emperor's face disappeared in an instant.He glanced at Yan Zhaoge who was prostrating on the ground, his tone was no longer as relaxed as before, and became a lot colder, he said stiffly: "Yingyue get up, I've made up my mind, don't say no to the matter just now."

After the countermeasures were over, there was another accident in the palace, so it was enough to let Yan Zhaoge Xie En out of the palace, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his mind. "Sister Huang wants to find me, and I will come whenever I go. Yongyue sit here for a while, if you need something, you can call the Huangmen. Come and show tea to Prince Jihou."

After speaking, the emperor left in a hurry.

The servant served Yan Zhaoge a cup of tea, and stayed in the hall. On the one hand, it was convenient for Yan Zhaoge to order, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent Yan Zhaoge from touching things that should not be touched. After all, this place is part of the emperor's palace.

The tea is warm and fragrant.Yan Zhaoge picked up the teacup and took a sip. She turned her back to the doorkeeper, her back straightened, but she couldn't help sighing in her heart.

At this time, it was Shouning Palace again, presumably it was time for the Empress Dowager.Everything can be changed, but birth, old age, sickness and death are beyond human touch.The Empress Dowager of the previous life passed away at about this time, and she lived to be more than 70 years old, which is considered a happy funeral.In this life, there are losses and gains, comings and goings, joys and sorrows, this is unavoidable.

The emperor had a serious face, he didn't even want to sit in the sedan chair, he put all the etiquette aside, and ran all the way to the Shouning Palace with his robe.

The Empress Dowager is the empress of Emperor Daizong, the biological mother of the first emperor, she has been hiding in the Shouning Palace since she ascended the throne.The mind is very blurred, and I often say some stupid words, and the time of falling asleep is much longer than the time of waking.In the past, when the emperor came to visit, the empress dowager would fall asleep, and the eldest princess would stay here when she was free, lest she miss the time when the empress dowager was awake.

Although it was daytime, the Shouning Palace was brightly lit. Armored palace guards and Jin Yiwei guarded around the Shouning Palace staggeredly with swords in their hands. He does not kneel when he is up.

"Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess said that you should go straight to the palace when you arrive."

The emperor’s grandmother lived in the Shouning Palace, and the emperor’s mother lived in the Changle Palace. Before entering the palace, one had to report first, and even the emperor was not allowed to break in casually.But today is different from the past, and there is no delay.

As soon as he entered the hall, the emperor was choked by the smell of medicine, mixed with the soothing sandalwood scent, which made him cough a few times involuntarily.

The old mother guarding the outer hall saw the emperor's arrival, her eyes were flushed, she bowed and said: "The empress dowager just woke up, she is waiting for you."

The emperor couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and then he thumped in his heart.Normally, the guards and Jin Yiwei in the palace don't wear armor and hold knives. In addition, the behavior of the armored palace guard breaking into the palace without notification just now, the situation has been clearly revealed.

Back to light.

The emperor took a deep breath and walked into the inner hall.

The Empress Dowager was leaning back on the bed with a pillow behind her, the Empress Dowager sat aside and wiped her tears, and the Eldest Princess sat on the edge of the bed, whispering something to the Empress Dowager.Xu Shi heard the sound of footsteps, the eyes of the Empress Dowager moved, and she shifted her gaze to the direction where the emperor was coming, "Is it Zong'er?"

The Empress Dowager's eyesight has been bad for a long time, but she can still recognize him.The emperor sniffed, walked over, knelt on the couch against the edge of the bed, and said, "Grandmother, grandson is here."

"It's grown so big." The Empress Dowager looked at the emperor kneeling in front of her, and she could barely see the emperor's face at such a close distance, "Shao Er said that you summoned the scholars of Jinke today. You have delayed your business. Get up quickly, your body has finally recovered, so don't waste yourself again. "

The emperor had a sore nose, and the empress dowager was so old that she lost her breath when she spoke, but she still missed him.

The first emperor's choice to adopt him instead of the close clan aroused great criticism in the court and the opposition. Several clan ministers objected, and the important ministers also disagreed.The Empress Dowager represents Emperor Daizong, and her opinion is that of Emperor Daizong. The clan dare not disobey her, and the courtiers have no position to refute.

When he was young, his family was poor, and his brothers couldn't get enough to eat. He was the youngest, and he couldn't always grab it. He was much thinner than his peers, and his body was not considered strong. The empress dowager ordered someone to take care of him. His stomach is not good, and he is even more refined than the first emperor in eating.

"Don't worry." The emperor tried not to choke up, held the hand of the empress dowager, who was as old as bark, and said: "The grandson has already summoned the scholars of modern science, and they are all top-notch talents. When the country is in the hands of my grandson, my grandson will definitely pass it on in its entirety, and will never fail my father's teachings."

The author has something to say: Cuihua...um...good name.
