I run a newspaper in ancient times

Under the momentum of the gossip tabloids, amidst the fervent fundraising, the palace, especially the Mingzheng Hall, was as cold as an icehouse.

All the people in the hall were expelled, only Zhang Banban remained.

In the silence, only Emperor Yan, who was almost condensed into a statue, and his breathing became thicker and thicker.

And Zhang Banban was lying on the ground with his whole body, not daring to breathe.

A piece of yellowed paper floated down from Emperor Yan's trembling hands, and then with a jolt, he eagerly unfolded all the envelopes in his hand, pulled out the thin paper inside, and looked at it quickly, his face getting more and more ugly.

Different fonts, different descriptions, come from different people, but they lead to the same goal by different routes, saying the same meaning.

Although Emperor Yan had prepared for the worst, he could not be hit by this blow after all!

His chest heaved for a while, like a wounded beast. The next moment, he had a ferocious face, and tore the last medicine list in his hand to pieces.

"Banban Zhang!"

At this moment, Emperor Yan's cold and biting voice Zhang Ban accompanied his heart, no matter how calm he was usually, he still became nervous.

He didn't dare to raise his head, put his body on the ground, and said more humbly: "Slave, the slave is here."

Emperor Yan twisted his face, and gritted his teeth word by word: "You are looking for quack doctors, how dare you frame Prince Yi to fool me with such nonsense! Tell me, who ordered you, Prime Minister Zuo, or Marquis Wu Ning! "

The killing intent was almost solidified, and it was obvious that Emperor Yan was mad, and he stared at Zhang Banban on the ground, as if he wanted to find evidence of deceiving himself from this servant.

Zhang Banban sensed the danger, Emperor Yan really wanted to kill him, but he didn't let someone drag him out immediately, apparently waiting for his answer.

His throat was dry, life and death were imminent, for some reason, he had the courage to raise his head, and what he saw was Emperor Yan's expression of not being able to believe, not wanting to believe, wishing he could press his head to let him admit that he was on the verge of despair.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that Emperor Yan was actually more flustered than he was, and would rather accept this slave to deceive the emperor with other plans than believe what was written on the medicine list!

"Your majesty." Zhang Banban immediately shouted, lowered his head again, and kowtowed fiercely to the floor tiles, "I am devoted to the emperor, how dare I lie to you! If it is really Zuoxiang and Marquis Wu Ning How could it be possible that the Shen family was overthrown and left silent without revealing any news? This servant just loves the emperor!"

Zhang Banban is not the leader of the inner prison who mainly flatters, he is more taciturn, silently completing one task for Emperor Yan, so he has won the trust of the emperor.

But it doesn't mean that he can't speak and can't grasp the Sacred Heart.

Emperor Yan didn't doubt him, but was begging for a hope that could be broken with one poke.

When Zhang Banban said this, Emperor Yan shook his body, and he did not pursue it. He persisted and said: "The emperor is obviously the lord of the world, but he is surrounded by tigers and wolves, making it difficult for him to walk! I thought that the prince treats you wholeheartedly, but I didn't expect it to be a wolf ambition, a slave. I found seven or eight irrelevant doctors in a row and analyzed the properties of the medicine, but the results were all the same, but the last bottle of medicine that the emperor handed over to the slave was not harmful to the body..."

Apparently Emperor Yan privately sent Zhang Banban to find out that the pills sent by Prince Cha Yi had results.

And this result obviously made Emperor Yan unacceptable.Impairment of offspring, physical weakness, prone to stroke, sudden death... one shocking word after another made him feel endlessly chilled.

Zhang Banban's eyes were red, and he looked up at Emperor Yan before he knew it, his eyes were full of distress and guilt: "I didn't expect the prince to look bright and upright, but secretly poisoned the emperor. I hate this slave for being incompetent and incompetent." If you find out early, you won't be able to protect you..."

How afraid Emperor Yan is of death, no one knows better than himself.He was afraid of the harem and powerful officials, so that he didn't dare to leave an heir, and he didn't dare to be unlucky, so he could only secretly take the medicine that Li Li sent.

However, who would have thought that the brother who seems to be single-minded is the real ruthless character, stabbing him in the back made him extremely painful.

Emperor Yan recalled the jokes between brothers in the past, Li Li always called him "brother" affectionately, he was the only person he trusted under the foolishness and acting like a baby, hiding a delicate heart.

Even if the brothers are separated now, Emperor Yan only thinks that it is due to the power and the fate of the royal family, but before this intelligent younger brother has accompanied him through many ups and downs, how could he harm him so viciously?

Emperor Yan didn't believe it, he shook his head, he didn't believe it at all.

"Did you miss your whereabouts secretly? Have you checked these doctors carefully?"

Zhang Banban didn't answer right away, but thought about it carefully, and then said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this slave has limited ability, so I didn't see anything strange, but after all, the trouble is serious, so I should ask the imperial doctor to take a closer look if I dare to dare."

He spoke with sincerity, Emperor Yan only saw concern and regret in his eyes.

Zhang Banban was sent by Zhang Zuoxian to Emperor Yan as an eyeliner shortly after Emperor Yan ascended the throne, but instead he secretly monitored Zhang Zuoxian and sent news to Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan asked him, but the latter just answered the word "repaying kindness" with a blank face.

But Emperor Yan couldn't remember the kindness when it was there, maybe it was just a little effort, but it saved the life of this little slave, and there were many loyal ones in the palace, Li Li secretly observed for Emperor Yan for a year, They sent someone to check his background thoroughly, and found nothing wrong, so they can use it with confidence.

And it lasted for six or seven years, even if Emperor Yan was suspicious, he would not doubt him.

However, what if he really has a hidden disease and spread it out?

Emperor Yan looked at the scattered papers on the ground, and Zhang Banban had already got up to pick them up one by one. Naturally, no one else could see these things.

"This matter must be cautious."

"But recently...you have a lot of headaches, and you sleep less and dream more." Zhang Banban's words made Emperor Yan's face suddenly darken.

The true Emperor Yan knew that his body was weak, his spirit was weak, and he even had hallucinations, which coincided with what was written on the medicine list.

How could this be happening at the age of less than thirty?

"In Tai Hospital, who can you trust?" Emperor Yan asked suddenly.

One month later, in response to Prince Yi's call, merchants who took the initiative to raise donations either took water or land, and finally transported grain and silver to the capital one after another.

The imperial army directly took over the main roads, clearing the way for these caravans to reach the silver warehouse and grain depot.One is to maintain order, and the other is to coordinate with the household department to check and put into storage.

Since they want to donate, these merchants will never use old rice and moldy rice as good ones, bag by bag, and check that they are all new and good rice.

The Ministry of Accounts dispatched all the manpower, and it took half a month to count them before they were fully put into the warehouse.

Because the amount requested by Li Li had already been exceeded, those who came later were no longer accepted, and many businessmen were quite regretful.

Li Li didn't disappoint either. After receiving the food and silver, he took two parties to proofread it, and directly published their dedication and achievements in the gossip tabloids, praising their selfless quality, and by the way, gave these merchants an invisible wave. advertise.

Such a businessman with national righteousness and patriotism, even if the common people want to spend money, they will subconsciously choose these companies because of the shared honor and disgrace.

Although meritorious deeds are still out of reach, it is also very cost-effective to spend a lot of money and buy word of mouth.

Everything is proceeding smoothly, just waiting for Daxia's signal to start the war.

However, the emperor suddenly fainted without warning.

At night, even though it was a straight summer day, Concubine Min was still in a cold sweat from fright. She knelt at the gate of her palace and looked at the imperial physician who was hurriedly summoned, with a panicked expression and anxious eyes.

In fact, I can't blame her, but who made Emperor Yan faint in Changqiu Palace.

Emperor Yan didn't know how to face Shi Yu, and the latter also had a grudge against him, so Emperor Yan was with Concubine Min more during this period.

Zuo Xiang was suppressed by Li Li without any threat, but he was as cautious and cautious as Emperor Yan, and it seemed to be sympathetic to each other.

Emperor Yan was originally wary of and disgusted with Concubine Min, but under this political need, he gradually changed his attitude and wanted to support the Zhou family again.

And what Emperor Yan needed most was a child to work hard to keep Li Li in check, so he worked harder.

Then he fainted on the way.

This incident immediately alarmed the Empress Dowager and the harem. As the other concubine in charge, Shi Yu didn't care about anything, so she hurried over, and all she saw was Concubine Min, who was pale and crumbling, and lying unconscious on the bed. The emperor of personnel.

No matter how much she resented Emperor Yan, after all, she gave this man all her love. Seeing Emperor Yan like this, she felt anxious and waited for the imperial physician's diagnosis.

The Empress Dowager was getting old, she always went to bed early, got the news, washed up and drove over from Cishou Palace, it was a bit late, the imperial physician had already got the pulse together to discuss the results.

The Empress Dowager ignored Concubine Min, and directly asked the imperial physicians in the room: "Why did the emperor faint suddenly, can we find out?"

Her eyes were full of frost, but her eyes were very anxious. The Taiyuan was kneeling down immediately. He hesitated, as if he didn't know what to say.

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, and raised her heart immediately, but her tone became more severe: "The Emperor has always been in good health, what can't you say in front of the Ai family?"

Hearing this, the Taiyuan Hospital finally bit the bullet and said: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Emperor is, but because of excessive indulgence and physical weakness, that's why..."

Come on, there is no need to say more later.

There was a sudden silence in the room, and every palace official lowered their heads, for fear of getting into trouble.

A generation of emperors could suffer from illness due to overwork and overthinking, but they could faint due to excessive indulgence, and almost died on the body of a concubine in the harem.

What's more, now that the relationship between Dayan and Daxia is tense, the civil and military ministers are preparing for the war, and the emperor is still in the mood to miss the harem, it is not an exaggeration to call him a fool.

The Empress Dowager's face turned dark, but Shi Yu lowered her eyes and remained silent. For some reason, her heart was calm and she felt it was ridiculous.

Emperor Yan wanted to have a child, but he was from a family surnamed Zhou whom he had been afraid to avoid.

It took a while for the Empress Dowager to regain her senses. She said: "Concubine Min is a role model in the harem, but she doesn't abide by women's virtues. She is obsessed with promiscuity. The crime is unforgivable. She will be deposed as a concubine and condescend to beauties. She will be confined in the Changqiu Palace for three months for self-examination. .”

Funing listened at the side, and went down to proclaim Yi's decree.

Concubine Min, who was kneeling at the entrance of the hall, heard the queen mother's announcement, and immediately passed out with the emperor.

Regardless of whether it was Concubine Min who seduced the emperor to indulge in lust, it was always her.But she was only reduced to a beauty, and did not directly impose death, which was for the sake of the Zhou family.

Concubine Yu listened to the Queen Mother's loss, but she didn't have any gloat, only a burst of sadness.

At this time, the Empress Dowager looked at Shi Yu, who lowered her eyes and bowed her body, only to hear the Empress Dowager order: "Send the Emperor back to the Ming Palace, Concubine Yu, work hard and take good care of her."

"Yes."

The emperor was seriously ill, and the morning court on the second day was avoided.

The ministers discussed and left the palace gate, but Li Li, who was in a wheelchair, entered the palace to meet the queen mother.

The news couldn't be hidden from him at all, Emperor Yan's case was placed in front of him, Li Li glanced at it, then he was speechless, twitching the corner of his mouth and said: "Did I get too excited, so anxious?"

He felt a little guilty, and regretted forcing Emperor Yan too much when he was in Linshan, making his brother wish he could immediately conjure up a child to restrain him so as to preserve his status.

Although there is a child, but Shi Yu doesn't say it, and he won't make it his own.

The queen mother glanced at him, she didn't sleep all night last night, her spirits were not good, no matter how absurd Emperor Yan did, he was always her son.

However, she was unwilling to criticize Li Li severely. After all, she also participated in the siege of the emperor, and she agreed.

The queen mother sighed softly: "You should take more care of the court affairs."

Li Li nodded: "Brother Huang, are you awake?"

"Well, Concubine Yu will take care of it."

Li Li said: "It is reasonable for me to visit him, but I am afraid that he will be even more angry when he sees me. It will be bad if he is seriously ill, so...won't Queen Mother go with me?"

Seeing Li Li's cautious appearance, the Queen Mother agreed, "Okay."
