Jade of Rebirth

The news of the Ninth Prince Yuan Heng's return to the capital quickly spread throughout the capital, and the people in the city naturally knew the achievements of the Ninth Prince Yuan Heng in disaster relief in Liangzhou, so Yuan Heng's popularity among the people suddenly rose.

Yuan Heng's reputation among the people has always been good. After going to Liangzhou this time, the people respected him more and more. In addition, he married a man named Yu Li. The people knew that the two were very affectionate, so the relationship between the two The matter was passed on as a good talk for a while.

A few days later, when Yuan Heng was about to become king, something happened suddenly in the capital.

It is said that the temple owner of the Town God's Temple had a dream one night, and dreamed that the City God Bodhisattva came to the dream, saying that the Nine Princes had done a great job in disaster relief and saved fifty thousand people in Liangzhou. He had great merit, so he cured his dumb disease in his dream. Forget about doing good deeds and accumulating virtue to bless the common people.

This matter was widely spread in the capital city, and everyone knew about it. Naturally, not long after, all the people in the palace also knew about it.

On this day, Yuan Heng was sent to Ziwei Palace for questioning.

"What do you think of the rumors in the city?" Emperor Zhang Wu was naturally happy and worried when he heard this. On the one hand, it is a good thing that his favorite son is outstanding and loved by the people. As the so-called dream said, Yuan Heng's ability to cure dumb disease is naturally the best.But on the other hand, the rumor that "I hope that Yuan Heng will not forget to do good deeds and accumulate virtue to protect the common people after becoming king" made him doubt whether Yuan Heng had the appearance of an emperor, or whether Yuan Heng himself did it for some benefit. Spread this rumor...

Although he favors Yuan Heng, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and since ancient times, the order of the elders and the young has been orderly, and the ancient motto of making the eldest son the crown prince cannot be changed, otherwise it will not be a good thing if the foundation of the country is shaken.Therefore, he had never thought of Yi Chu, nor would he allow anyone with such a thought to have such a thought, so he sent Yuan Heng over to test his attitude.

Yuan Heng still saluted him respectfully, with a gentle and respectful expression on his face, he said something to his bodyguard Shui Longyin with his lips, and then Shui Longyin conveyed it on his behalf:

"Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince means is that the entrusting of the dream is nonsense. He has been dumb for six years and has never shown signs of improvement. What's more, there is no enfeoffment now. Even if His Highness becomes the king, he will not have his own. How can it be possible to protect the people of one side?"

Emperor Zhang Wu looked at the humble and polite Yuan Heng who had never changed, and felt that this matter was too absurd. It was really inappropriate for him to doubt his son because of such unreasonable things among the people.But he still wanted to take the opportunity to test Yuan Heng, and said: "Then, if you are really entrusted after being crowned king, would you be willing?"

Yuan Heng was taken aback for a moment, then knelt down immediately, Emperor Zhang Wu only thought he was unwilling, because he looked anxious.I saw Yuan Heng gestured "ahhh" a few times, and Shui Longyin, who was kneeling behind him, hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, Your Highness is saying that if you want to entrust him, please entrust the other princes as well. Your Highness, he is the youngest and should be the last one to be entrusted."

Emperor Zhang Wu heard the words, smiled slightly, and said: "This is natural."

Yuan Heng gestured a few more times, and Shui Longyin explained: "His Royal Highness said that he would rather have a smaller place but richer ones... The prince and concubine are still young, and His Highness does not want him to accompany him through hardships."

Emperor Zhang Wu laughed loudly, and said: "You young couple are very affectionate. That's all, father won't tease you anymore, go back."

Yuan Heng was stunned for a moment, then bowed out with a blushing look on his face.

As a result, in the early morning of the next day, before Emperor Zhang Wu went to court, people from Yuanheng Palace came to report and said: "Your Majesty, please go and see, His Royal Highness Ninth Prince can speak!"

Emperor Zhang Wu was taken aback, and hurried to Yuanheng's Taixi Palace.

At that time, Yuan Heng and Yu Li seemed to have just woken up, Yu Li was dressed neatly, but Yuan Heng didn't even put on his coat, when he saw the emperor, he knelt down to salute, Emperor Zhang Wu also stopped him, and said with expectation:

"Heng'er, can you really talk?"

Yuan Heng blushed in surprise, nodded vigorously, and said, "Father...Father Emperor!"

He can make a relatively clear voice, but his voice is very hoarse, like the hoarseness of a person who has had a cold for a long time, slightly vague, but it is much better than the voice of "ahhh". .

Emperor Zhang Wu's joy immediately overflowed his words, he nodded repeatedly and said "OK", at the end, he asked Yu Li who was beside him, "Prince Concubine, how did Heng'er suddenly be able to speak?"

Yu Li was stunned for a moment, then he said with a bit of embarrassment: "Father, I just woke up early in the morning. When I got off the bed, I fell and almost fell. Your Highness came to help me in a hurry. I consciously called me 'Li'er'..."

Yuan Heng also said happily: "Yes, it is the concubine's credit..."

Emperor Zhang Wu nodded, convinced that a person in a hurry can indeed do things that are usually unexpected.He looked at Yuli, only to realize that this daughter-in-law had grown up a lot after not seeing her for a long time. He heard that he was the "lucky star" of Yufu earlier, could it be true or not?

Seeing this, Yu Li's face became even more blushing, and she said to Yuan Heng: "Your Highness, don't say a few words, your voice is not fully recovered, you need to take good care of it... He should take a good look."

Emperor Zhang Wu nodded and said, "Very true, I will go to court first, and the imperial doctor will ask him to come to me to answer after the examination."

"Thank you, father, for your concern." Yu Li bowed respectfully to Emperor Zhang Wu.

After Emperor Zhang Wu left, Huang Qi, the chief physician of the imperial physician, arrived.

"Doctor Huang, why did your highness recover from this illness suddenly?" Yu Li stood aside, and although his words were interrogative, there was no trace of doubt on his face.

Huang Qi has been in the palace for dozens of years, and he is also a virtuous concubine. Seeing this, what else does he not understand?Immediately said respectfully: "Prince and concubine, His Royal Highness Ninth Prince's dumb disease was caused by the residual poison at the beginning, and later it was stagnation of qi in his heart. Now the stagnation of qi has completely dissipated, so it is cured."

"I see." Yu Li nodded.

"However, the throat is not healed yet, and it needs to be recuperated. It is better not to talk too much in the near future." Huang Qi said, and added, "In front of His Majesty, I will report the truth."

"That's good." Yu Li smiled meaningfully, reached out and stuffed a piece of paper to Huang Qi, "Doctor Huang, use it to write prescriptions."

Huang Qi understood everything, immediately stuffed the piece of paper into the small medicine box, and bowed to the ground to thank: "I will definitely do my best."

"Go." Yu Li watched him go out, then turned to look at Yuan Heng, "Look, isn't the matter very simple?"

Yuan Heng smiled: "That's because Li Er is smart, so of course things are easy."

Taking ghosts and gods as an example can not only improve Yuanheng's popularity among the people, but also better explain to the emperor, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"I don't know how the crown prince and King Jing will react when they find out..." Yu Li smiled meaningfully, "But your recovery of speaking ability is the biggest threat to them, after all, you are so outstanding..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Heng immediately answered, "Yes, yes, after all, I am good-looking..."

Yuli: ...

People don't care about this at all, okay? !
