Chaimen hears the barking of dogs

Inside the Yizheng Hall, "I just want to ask you, the Yellow River diverted, and the imperial court appropriated 40 taels of silver. According to the construction schedule, the construction should have been completed at the beginning of the year. So what happened to the disaster this time?" The man sitting in the upper seat looked Cold and stern, that torch-like gaze shot at all the ministers around.

And those ministers, who are usually well-dressed, knelt down on their knees at this moment, trembling all over, and they didn't have half the majesty they usually have.Then I saw an old man with a long beard walking out from the blackness where he was kneeling.

"Report to the lord..." The old man was quite old, and his fat body in his later years made him a little bloated in court clothes.

"Say." The man at the top seemed to be extremely tired of the thunderous and rainy words, so he only said this one word impatiently, with one hand slantingly propped on the pineapple wooden chair with the dragon carved on it, Those sharp eyes are like a beast staring at its prey, showing a little laziness but actually ready to go.

The old man lowered his head, sweat dripped from his forehead to the ground, but he didn't dare to move at all.After a long time, he said, "Yes, it is Wei Jinting, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who secretly colluded with Liu Minghe, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. They not only bribed the local officials, but also used the Yellow River diversion project to plunder the people's fat and anointment along the Yellow River, and even colluded with local bandits. And the Yellow River diversion project, But it has been delayed again and again, and the work has not been completed yet." Finally, the old man lowered his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Hearing the few officials kneeling beside him, some breathed a sigh of relief, while others became even more tense.

"That is to say, the good news that those imperial envoys sent back to present are all fake?" the man asked, the coldness on his face became even worse...

"Yes, that's right." The old man replied.

"Hmph!" The man stood up abruptly, flicked the brocade robe embroidered with dragon patterns, and the hostility on his face became heavier, "Come on, go and bring me Wei Jinting, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Liu Minghe, Minister of the Ministry of Households. "

He heard a 'yes' from outside the Yizheng hall.

The atmosphere in the room became even more tense.

"Imperial Envoy Yuchi Orin." The man called out, his voice full of oppression.

"Minister, I'm here." Yuchi Erlin walked out from the crowd, and before the man could say anything, Yuchi Erlin had already taken off the purple gold cuff on his body and put down the jade plate in his hand. This is all about his official rank The symbol, "Chen Yuchi Olin is guilty."

"Hmph!" The man waved his hands and was about to walk in front of Yuchi Erlin, but he heard an outsider say, "Wei Jinting, minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Liu Minghe, minister of the household department, have arrived."

The man's brows were furrowed, but his footsteps did not stop. Perhaps he was out of breath. For a moment, he forgot that there were still several steps under his feet. When he stepped on the ground, the man's face changed slightly, and the pupils of his eyes dilated and contracted .But many years of court etiquette prevented him from calling for help, but only reached out to hold a certain fulcrum.But helplessly, there were many people kneeling in front of him, but because of the thorough investigation of corruption in the Yellow River flood, they were already panicked like rats. In addition to his reprimand just now, this large group of people looked down at this moment, and no one noticed that the superior The difference of the person.

Until a 'bang'.Everyone who was kneeling had their backs twitched, and those who were kneeling at the front even let out an exclamation...

"My lord!~"

Everyone raised their heads and saw that Prince Qi Rui, who was still arrogant just now, fell to the ground with his eyes closed.

The official kneeling at the front walked forward, "My lord, are you okay!" He called out, and the other officials looked nervously.

However, no response.

"My lord?" The official called again, but still didn't get a response. Only then did he feel that something was wrong, and he stretched out his hand with some hesitation to push the usually violent lord.

The body just swayed with his movements, and then stopped moving...

"Quick, send the imperial doctor quickly." The official who reacted quickly shouted to the door.

A bold official put his hand under the prince's nose, and he breathed a sigh of relief after a while. He was still breathing, and it seemed that he might have been knocked unconscious.

But this Prince Qirui was well-known in the Great Xia Dynasty for being both civil and military, and today he passed out after such a fall. It seems that the rumors of being both civil and military are more flattering.The officials thought to themselves.

But is it really so?

The body of Lord Qi Rui was moved to the inner room, the imperial doctor came one after another, and finally, the aged emperor and empress all came.But our Lord Qi Rui didn't wake up again.

It is true that he is still alive, but he is unconscious, and even a doctor in the imperial city can't do anything about it.

We all know that Prince Qi Rui is the best candidate for the next emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. Originally, those royal brothers with mediocre qualifications knew that they had no hope, so they just lived a peaceful life of fighting chickens and lackeys.But it's different now, their outstanding imperial brother (brother) is in a coma, and the imperial doctors have said that there is a possibility that he will never wake up again.

What exciting news this is!

For a while, in the imperial city, those who should move around, those who should make connections, and those who should bribe, are extremely busy.

But this may not wake up, but it is not absolute, so Qirui Prince's Mansion has become a popular place. Every day, some people come to visit and talk about brotherhood. Ah, that's a lot.

It's just that the imperial doctor is used to find out when the imperial brother (brother) will wake up, and the medicinal material is naturally to make the imperial brother (brother) sleep for as long as possible...

Of course, Prince Qi Rui will not know all this, because at this moment his consciousness is erratic, and he could still hear the exclamation of the officials, the sigh of the father, the cry of the queen, and the cries of those royal brothers ( brother)'s 'visit'.But gradually, he seemed to be dissociated, and those voices were not clear, as if he was getting farther and farther away from those people, until he couldn't hear them at all.

There is darkness in front of his eyes, he wants to reach out, wants to move, but all this is limited to will, he doesn't have any physical feeling... This makes him want to frown, even now he can't even do this .

"Hey, why are you sitting in front of my house? It rained last night, did you take shelter here? Can you fall asleep while sitting like this? Are you cold? Why are you shaking non-stop?" After a long time, a sudden There was a voice, a young boy's voice, clear and clear, with curiosity, concern and a faint smile.

He tried to open his eyes, this time, he felt the weight of his eyelids and the feeling that his body seemed to be wet.He struggled for a long time, he felt his hot breath, leaving a burning sensation on the tip of his nose as he breathed out, he should have a fever.He opened his eyes, and the sudden light made him unable to see clearly, except for the dazzling white...
