The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

The emperor sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Ji Heng with his arms propped up. The coldness in his eyes had long since disappeared, and he said softly, "Junqing, if you have anything to say to me, the most important thing is that you take good care of your wounds."

Ji Heng didn't care about himself now, and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the news that my father sent back before, he said that King Wu got poison from Nanyang."

The emperor nodded.

Ji Heng then said, "There must be something wrong with the towel of His Royal Highness, just like his dagger has a mechanism. You drank tea before, although you didn't find out that it was poisonous, but it may be that this kind of poison cannot be checked with the current method. Come out. I thought about dealing with the Fourth Highness earlier, but now that something like this has happened, it is also a dereliction of duty."

The emperor frowned and said, "You've done a good job. I don't have any discomfort now, and I shouldn't be poisoned. Instead, it's you, Junqing, who was poisoned and in a very bad condition."

Ji Heng was still brooding, "Some poisons take a while to take effect, I'm afraid the poison used by the Fourth Highness, Your Majesty, your life is much more important than a humble minister."

The emperor fell silent, he thought of Yang Qinji's composure, that kind of composure was too abnormal, definitely not the composure of not fearing death, but as if he was sure that he would be fine, which was too problematic.

The emperor had to think about Ji Heng's words. Seeing that the emperor believed him in this way, Ji Heng said, "Your Majesty, you have to find a way to ask the Fourth Highness whether there is poison in it and how to detoxify it. Or the emperor asked the imperial physician to find a way to see if there is a way to expel the toxin."

The emperor lowered his face and nodded, "I will do it."

He said so, but didn't move for a while. He bent over by the bed and almost lay on Ji Heng's body. How can you not care about blocking Yang Qinji like that?"

Ji Heng felt very weak and didn't want to talk much, and the emperor's question was really strange, so he was taken aback for a moment before answering softly, "It is the duty of a subject to protect the emperor."

The emperor asked again dissatisfied, "Is there nothing else?"

Ji Heng didn't know what answer the emperor wanted, so he squeezed his long eyelashes and said, "I won't let the emperor have an accident, even if the humble minister dies, I can't let the emperor have an accident. Does this need any other reason?"

The emperor knew that he would not get the answer he wanted, but Ji Heng said this, which still made him happy, but he was very sad, he didn't want to see Ji Heng have an accident because of him.

He said, "The next time you encounter this kind of thing, you can't be so reckless. I am older than you, better than you in martial arts, and stronger than you. I don't need you to step forward to protect me. Liu Sheng'er is the same today, silly If you are stupid, it will hurt you instead."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Ji Heng thought that Liu Sheng'er was far away from them, and he also stepped forward to protect the emperor at the first time, so he was not negligent in his duty, so he said, "He is not bad."

The emperor still snorted unhappily, then stretched out his hand to stroke Ji Heng's hair, and said, "Are you hungry? I'll bring some porridge for you to use."

Ji Heng shook his head, "I've taken the medicine, I can't eat anything."

Then I remembered something, and said, "Your Majesty, this is your dragon bed, how dare I sleep, just ask someone to transfer me to another place, I have wounds on my body, I have seen blood, I dare not offend the emperor..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor had already covered his mouth with his hands, "Don't say these things, I don't like to hear them."

Knowing the emperor's stubbornness, Ji Heng sighed in his heart, and said, "The Fourth Highness assassinated the emperor, the Empress Dowager already knew about it, did she say anything?"

The emperor nodded and said, "She sent someone to ask for Yang Qinji, and asked him to be imprisoned. Seeing what the queen mother meant, she seemed to want to protect Yang Qinji. I didn't let her ask him to go, and I planned to send him out in a few days." Go to prison. Tomorrow, I will talk about this matter in the morning court. I don’t need King Wu’s rebellion to act. His son’s assassination of me is enough for his crime. If he resists the decree, he will be disposed of in the name of his rebellion."

Ji Heng said, "King Wu is bound to rebel immediately."

The emperor said, "I am not afraid of his rebellion now, but rather afraid of his not rebelling."

His voice was very soft, but his eyes were stern.

Ji Heng's heart trembled because of his eyes, and he was stunned for a while. He knew that the emperor's deployment in the south of the Yangtze River was almost done, and he was just waiting to get rid of King Wu completely.

He saw the emperor change from a child who used laughter and gentleness to lull people into a young man with decisive eyes and fierce eyes. He didn't know if the emperor would be more vicious in the future. A wise emperor would definitely not be A good man who is charitable, but if the emperor doesn't have any kindness in his heart, he thought, this is not a good thing either.

In front of this kind of monarch, when the two are on good terms, they are good. If the relationship is not good, the emperor probably won't miss the old love.

Ji Heng was thinking wildly in his mind, and fell silent. The emperor looked at him, stroked his cheek with his finger, and asked softly, "Junqing, what are you thinking?"

Ji Heng said, "I'm thinking that I really can't live here. Even if I don't go out of the palace to go home to recuperate, I should move to the side hall. If I live here, I will be criticized by the ministers for no reason."

The emperor frowned, "It's useless for them to do serious things, but they always gossip about these things. When I'm in charge, whoever dares to talk nonsense will be the first to deal with him."

Ji Heng sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. You understand that it is not appropriate for you to confront the old ministers in the court recently."

The emperor didn't understand this truth, so he frowned and said, "Even if you are the emperor in power, everything may not go well. Checking and balancing power and stabilizing the situation are enough for people to ponder."

Ji Heng was stunned for a moment, "Why is the emperor sighing about this?"

The emperor's eyes became deep, "Father, isn't that the case."

Seeing Ji Heng was a little puzzled, the emperor thought for a while, and said, "It is said that the father doesn't like me, and he hardly notices my existence. In fact, it is not the case at all. When the father looked at the mother and concubine, he always asked me I go to meet, but always secretly, he is worried that he values ​​me, and I will encounter accidents, so he has no choice but to act as if he doesn't care about me."

Ji Heng was a little stunned, but the emperor smiled at this time, looked at Ji Heng with bright eyes, and said softly, "Father also said that sitting on the throne, doting too much on a person will actually harm him. Your Excellency , if I become a little colder towards you at some point, it's not because I don't love you anymore, but because I'm afraid of harming you, will you understand me at that time?"

Ji Heng was even more stunned, thinking what kind of words this was, how could he, a foreign minister, get such words from the emperor.

But he still didn't have the heart to disappoint the emperor, so he said, "I understand."

The emperor went to live in the side hall by himself, and let Ji Heng recuperate in his bedroom, while Xu lived in a room next to Baoxia to take care of Ji Heng.

On the second day, the emperor summoned his cabinet ministers to discuss and told about Yang Qinji's assassination of him, so he demanded that the matter be made known to the world, and that King Wu and his family members be arrested and brought into Beijing.

Among the ministers, there must have been many people who had been bribed by the King of Wu, so they said that Yang Qinji's behavior might be a child's behavior, and it could not be regarded as evidence that the King of Wu wanted to rebel. Is it considered treason?

If he hit the capital and still used the slogan of King Qin, it wouldn't be counted as treason, would it?

Let the minister be silent on the spot.

As the chief assistant, Mr. Li Ge agreed to the emperor's method, so in the next morning court, Mr. Li Ge proposed the matter of arresting the king of Wu and entering the capital. There was a quarrel in the morning court. Although there were people who opposed it, there were very few people who opposed it. , so it was settled.

From the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, it will take more than ten days to pass the edict, but King Wu has already received the letter from Feige, and knows about the capital.

At the end of June, when the imperial decree was delivered, King Wu angrily beheaded the officials who came to arrest him, saying that the emperor had been deceived by treacherous officials.

The king of Wu went to Beijing in two ways, one was to send the navy from Songjiang Prefecture to take the sea route, and the other was for the army to go directly to Beijing via the Lianghuai Mountains.

King Wu's rebellion caused chaos in the court in Beijing. Many ministers thought that it was the emperor who forced King Wu to rebel. What if King Wu really broke into Beijing?

The emperor didn't have the energy to care about these remarks at all, he was sick himself.

Yang Qinji couldn't bear the criminal law, and indeed poisoned the emperor, but he didn't have an antidote, and he didn't know what kind of poison it was.There was no antidote, so the emperor's body did not heal for a while.

Ji Heng's body soon recovered. After the toxin was pulled out, his external injuries were not serious, but he did not leave the palace, but lived in the west side hall of the Qilin Hall. Originally, Xu was here to take care of him. He, after he was able to take care of himself, Ji Heng persuaded her to go back and let Baoqin and Lizhi come into the palace.

The emperor was ill, but the illness was either a serious illness or a lack of energy, and he would fall asleep while sitting.

Yang Qinji originally said that the poison would make people weaken and die within ten days, but this did not happen to the emperor. It is probably because the emperor drank too little dose at that time, and the imperial physician promptly used fumigation and acupuncture to make the emperor disperse. Dropped some toxins.

July is the hottest season in Beijing.

Before the Qixi Festival, the palace was also very lively.

This year was deserted and deserted. The first was that the emperor was ill, the second was that King Wu's rebellion had not yet been suppressed, and the third was that the conflict between the emperor and the queen mother had come to light.

Starting from the handling of Chunwei's fraud, the emperor has slowly come to power. This time, the king of Wu's rebellion case, the emperor even made up his mind, and the cabinet ministers had already made up their minds about important matters in the court, and they had to report to the emperor. Prepare, please ask the emperor to give the imperial approval before he dares to take it. Although the emperor has not formally governed himself, this is considered to be in power. Being governed is just a title. After he gets married, he can fully implement it.

Because the emperor was ill, Ji Heng stayed in the palace all the time. He basically wrote the imperial criticism, and then gave it to the emperor. After the emperor read it, he stamped it with a jade seal.

In late July, there were two rains, and the temperature in Beijing was about to drop. King Wu originally wanted to attack the capital in one fell swoop, but he encountered great obstacles on the road and was stopped in Shandong. However, the navy that came from the sea is even more unfavorable. If it fails to go to Beijing, the entire army will be wiped out.

At this time, the king of Wu was already in a corner to resist.

After all, the king of Wu was short of troops. It was impossible for him to take the capital when the emperor's comprehensive deployment had already blocked all his roads.

On this day, it had been raining in Beijing since the morning, and the emperor slept all afternoon, and woke up in the evening, just as the rain had stopped, the setting sun broke through the clouds and shone into the room, and the emperor stared at the light in a drowsy state. The light in the room, Liu Sheng'er, who was waiting next to him, saw that the emperor was awake, so he hurried forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you awake? Do you have any orders?"

The emperor himself didn't like crowds, but seeing that Liu Sheng'er was the only one in the hall, he felt a little unhappy and said, "Where's Junqing?"

Liu Sheng'er replied, "Master Ji is discussing with the imperial physicians about your condition again, Your Majesty."

The emperor sighed and said, "Go ask him to come to me."
