Chongxi [rebirth]

At the end of November, another heavy snow fell.

The north wind was blowing the overwhelming heavy snow, and half of Upper Kyoto was covered with snow.The houses of many people in nearby towns were crushed by the heavy snow, and many people were displaced and froze to death on the streets.The reports of the disaster situation from the various states in the north continued to pile up on the emperor's desk.

But the emperor still didn't go to court, and with a big wave of his hand, all the papers were sent to the political affairs hall, and they were asked to discuss it by themselves.

"Cui Changshi stay." Qiao Hairen hurried up to Cui Xi, who came to pass the order, and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty has not gone to court for several days, but the dragon's body has not recovered yet? A country cannot be without a king for a day, and now we can still wait." Do your best to support it, but there are still many things that need to be decided by His Majesty."

He sighed: "Nowadays many officials have been sent to Xing Prison, and there is a shortage of manpower. With the snowstorm again, I don't know how many people will be displaced."

"Your Majesty's dragon body is fine." Cui Xi stopped, seeing that it was Qiao Hairen who was chasing him, he didn't hide it from him: "It's just that the Grand Tutor still has the battle of Zaohe, and His Majesty has a deep knot in his heart, and I'm afraid it won't be solved for a while. open."

"Your lords need to take care of this issue." Cui Xi cupped his hands at him.

Seeing what he said, Qiao Hairen could only sigh: "Your Majesty relies heavily on Cui Changshi, and I hope Cui Changshi will give you a lot of advice. Let Your Majesty be relieved as soon as possible. The battle of Zaohe was only a temporary defeat, and there will always be a time for them to return. "

After speaking, he bowed to him, sighed and left.

Cui Xi looked at his back gradually covered by the heavy snow, his expression was indifferent, this honest and upright servant still didn't know the emperor very well.

The corner of his mouth curved into a mocking arc, and he walked slowly towards the Taigan Palace.

……

When there were many debates about disaster relief in the political affairs hall, Li Fengqi received letters from Yunrong and Beijiang one after another.

Yunrong's letter was related to Ye Wang, and the spy took Yin's letter to Yunrong.Be careful to hide your identity, and have been secretly inquiring about Ye Wang's whereabouts.It's just that they couldn't find any news about Ye Wang in secret, so in the end, they could only follow Li Fengqi's order and deliver the letter directly to the Yin mansion in the name of the Yin family.

Fortunately, the Yin family still had blood relationship with Yin Hongye, after seeing the letter, they informed Ye Wang of the news without too much embarrassment.It's just that the news is not good.

Yin Xiaozhi said that shortly after Ye Fan arrived in Yunrong, he was temporarily placed under house arrest in the mansion.Thinking that he is also a great-grandson who has been in pain for many years, the Yin family didn't really plan to do anything to him, they just confined him in the house.He planned to send him back after the battle, but he never thought that he would escape when Yin Xiaozhi and his son led the troops to fight Zaohe, and his whereabouts are still unknown.The Yin family also sent people to look for him, but they didn't find any trace of him.I thought he had returned to Shangjing.

Since no one was found, the spies only wrote back to explain the information they found, and continued to follow possible clues in Yunrong to inquire about Ye Wang's whereabouts.

"There are many lies." Ye Yunting frowned, with a hint of anger on his face: "If the Yin family is really under house arrest, why would he risk escape?"

It is even more a joke to think that people have already returned to Shangjing. It is impossible for the Yin family to have eyes and ears in Shangjing. How could they not know if Ye Wang returned to the Duke's mansion?What's more, Ye Wang grew up in Shangjing since he was a child, with fine clothes and fine food, Yunrong is hundreds of miles away from Shangjing, it's freezing cold, how could he come back with only his strength?

Ye Yunting gripped the letter paper tightly, suppressed the worries in his heart, and said to Li Fengqi: "We have to send more people to look for it, and we will look for it on the road from Yunrong to Shangjing."

If Ye Wang escaped from the Yin Mansion, most likely he would find a way to return to Shangjing.It would be fine if it was in previous years, but there was a heavy snowstorm this winter, if Ye Wang didn't worry about it... Ye Yunting didn't dare to think about it.

"I'll send someone to look for it again." Li Fengqi understood his worry: "Ask people to post notices offering rewards along the way to various state capitals, and he will be fine."

Now it can only be like this, Ye Yunting sighed, after a moment of silence, he said again: "I will ask someone to pass a message to Yin."

Since the Yin family handed over the letter to him, she has sent her personal maid several times to inquire about the news, but Ye Wang's whereabouts are unknown now, and it is not a long-term solution to hide it.

"What did the letter from Beijiang say?" Suppressing his worries, Ye Yunting recalled another letter: "But it was also affected by the snow disaster?"

Both Weizhou and Xiyuzhou are located in the northwest, with severe winter and hot summer, and the climate contrasts greatly.The heavy snow this winter has even affected the central California state, and the situation in northern Xinjiang must be even more severe.

"They were all hit by disasters. Fortunately, northern Xinjiang has taken precautions every year. This year, we have specially prepared food and supplies, so we can carry them through."

Although he said so, Li Fengqi's expression was not relaxed: "But Xihuang was greatly affected by the snowstorm this time. I heard that many cattle, sheep and cattle were frozen to death...Zhu Wen said in a letter that there are small groups of Xihuang on the border. The Huang army is constantly testing, if the snowstorm continues, there will be a tough battle in northern Xinjiang this year."

The climate in Xihuang is more extreme than that in Northern Xinjiang. The snowstorm froze a large number of cattle and sheep to death, and Xihuang suffered heavy losses. He would definitely turn his mind on the neighboring Beizhao to make up for his own losses by plundering.

Ye Yunting observed his expression, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness is going to Northern Xinjiang?"

"I have to go." Li Fengqi put down the letter and tapped on the armrest of the wheelchair with his fingers: "But the business here in Shangjing has to be done first. You and your mother will also go together." He looked at Ye Yunting and said slowly: " Once I leave this time, I am afraid that I will not come back in a short time."

He had long planned to go to northern Xinjiang, but now the Yin family rebelled and the court situation was unstable.Although Li Zong was worried about Beijiang now, he didn't dare to move him easily for the time being, but there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents, and staying in Shangjing was not a long-term solution.Now that Xihuang has changed, it is a good opportunity.

Bringing Ye Yunting and the old concubine along is for no worries.

Ye Yunting understood what he meant, and said with a gloomy expression, "Then we must find the antidote as soon as possible."

Li Fengqi nodded: "It depends on whether Ye Boru has the ability to get the antidote from Han Chan."

If Ye Bo fails, he can only find other ways.

***

Ye Boru sneezed after being babbled, rolled up his collar and walked to Han Chan's bedroom.

A few days ago, Han Chan had been refusing to eat, and then she probably couldn't hold on anymore, so she was willing to use some porridge water.It's just that he is not young after all, and after such tossing, he still lost his body.Ye Boru received the news that Han Chan was seriously ill, and after rushing to report to the palace, he was sent to check on the situation.

This move was exactly what he wanted.

He unhurriedly opened the door and entered the room, and saw the servant girl half-kneeling by the bed and guarding. The room was lit with charcoal, but there was only slight warmth. in the bones.

"Why don't you close the window?" Ye Boru winked at the maid, and went outside to close the window.

The maid immediately got up and went out to close the window, and said: "Your Excellency, don't close it, saying that the room is stuffy."

"My lord is sick, how can I blow the air. If there is something wrong with the blower, can you bear it?" Ye Boru looked at the maid with lowered eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Last time, you said you found something wrong?"

"The decorations on the multi-treasure rack." The maid said in a low voice, "My lord never lets me touch those. Once I tried to wipe them, my lord lost his temper."

Hearing what the maid said, Ye Boru knew it in his heart.He nodded slightly, and said: "Go in and watch, when someone enters the palace, your task will be completed, remember to keep your mouth shut."

The maid nodded timidly, then turned around and entered the room again.

Ye Boru stood at the door curtain in the inner room and looked in, his eyes swept over the multi-treasure stand against the wall.The corner of his mouth curled up, and he went back to the palace to return to his life.

Taigan Palace.

The lively singers and musicians all withdrew. Li Zong stood by the window with bare feet and shaved hair, casually wearing a dragon robe.

"The situation is not very good. I went to see him. He was feverish and unconscious... There was only one maidservant in the Taifu's mansion, and the room was still cold and cold..." Ye Boru raised his head and gave him a careful look. As if weighing his words: "In my opinion, I still have to ask the imperial doctor to see it as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid..."

He wasn't lying, Han Chan's situation was indeed not good.But these claims are exaggerated.In his opinion, the emperor still has old feelings for Han Chan, no matter what the love is, at least he can be sure that the emperor will not be willing to let him die like this.

As long as the emperor brings people into the palace to treat illnesses, he will naturally have time to carefully search for the antidote.

Li Zong was silent when he heard the words, and clenched his hands behind his back into fists.

After a long time, Ye Boru heard him say: "Find a side hall, bring him into the palace, ask the imperial doctor to take a look, don't tell him to die like this."

It became.

Ye Boru cupped his hands, suppressing the smile on his lips: "I obey the order."

He immediately took the imperial physician and several servants out of the palace, and went to the Taifu's mansion to bring Han Chan, who was so sick and unconscious, into the palace.

The imperial physician felt Han Chan's pulse and administered an injection before asking the servants to carry him into the sedan chair.

After everyone had left, the Grand Tutor's Mansion fell silent again. Ye Boru waved away the maidservants, closed the doors and windows, and glanced at the multi-treasure shelves against the wall one by one.I tried two decorations, but they didn't work. When I got to the third one, I heard a low click, and the Duobao Pavilion against the wall was separated from the two sides, revealing the winding steps down behind.

"Looks like it's here." Ye Boru murmured in a low voice, then walked down the stairs.

At the end, he found a dark room.The dark room was filled with rows of tablets, and on both sides were only half-burned thick white candles.In front of the memorial table, there is an incense burner filled with incense sticks and a small white jade bottle.

He was overjoyed, took the white jade vial to check, and saw that there was indeed a brown pill inside.

"Looks like this is it." Ye Boru put away the white jade vial, and then went to examine those gloomy tablets carefully.What is Han Chan enshrining so many tablets here for?

He scanned them one by one, frowning even tighter. The enshrined tablets all have the same surname, all surnamed Zhao.

"Zhao Mingquan, Zhao Mingxi..." Ye Boru was thinking about the relationship between the Zhao family and Han Chan, but suddenly he was shocked and remembered the origin of the Zhao family.

At the time of Emperor Chengzong, the Zhao family was considered a big family.But later, for unknown reasons, he committed a felony and was ransacked and exterminated.He didn't say much about the crime record, and he only heard someone mention it during the chat, so he didn't remember it when he first saw it.

Han Chan actually enshrined the tablets of the Zhao family in the dark room. What is his relationship with the Zhao family...?

Ye Boru's expression changed, he thought for a long time, and hurriedly left the dark room, called the Shence Army to watch the exit of the bedroom, and re-entered the palace by himself.
