The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

"Your majesty, I'd like to ask the imperial physicians to look at it more." The queen mother said to the imperial physicians, glanced at the unconscious emperor lying on the dragon bed, raised her hand, and let the palace servants around her support her. He stood up and left with the accompanying ladies and eunuchs.

The queen glanced at the prince, knowing that the prince would handle this place well, so she led all the concubines in the harem to follow behind the queen mother.Concubine Dong Gui wanted to stay and take care of the emperor. At this time, the empress dowager and empress had both left, and finally she followed everyone obediently.

Yang Shaomu lowered his head slightly, and respectfully sent the Queen Mother and Queen Mother away.

After the queen mother and the empress had left, Yang Shaomu'an sent the ministers out.

Dong Xiang glanced at the unconscious emperor with a dull expression on his face, and said to the prince, "Farewell, my subordinates." He led the many officials behind him away.With the support of the palace servants, some elderly veterans walked out tremblingly towards the palace gate.

Seeing this, Yang Shaojian said a word to the prince and left first.

The young Seventh Prince cried so much that his eyes were red and swollen. Under the persuasion of the palace servants sent by Concubine Dong Gui, he followed the palace servants back.Most of the princes left the palace to build a mansion at the age of 15, and only the young seventh prince still lived in the palace.

The people around him left one by one, only the crown prince and the sixth prince were left in the emperor's bedroom.Eunuch Sun stepped forward and persuaded, "Prince, Your Highness, you two masters have been guarding here for a day. There are old slaves and imperial doctors here, why don't you two masters go back and rest for a while. Don't get tired Now that you are healthy, the emperor still needs two princes and His Highness the Sixth Highness."

"Father is here to trouble Eunuch Sun and all the imperial physicians." Yang Shaomu didn't say anything, but just told Eunuch Sun to take good care of the emperor.

"Slave will do it." Eunuch Sun said with his head down.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, the ministers will guard the emperor well." The imperial physicians will stay in the palace and wait for the emperor in turn.If something happens to the emperor at this time, they and the imperial doctors are afraid that it will not be easy.

It's just that the emperor's situation is not very good. These imperial doctors know it well in their hearts, but no one will say it at this time.

The crown prince and the sixth prince came out from the emperor, but Yang Shaomu didn't go to his mother's place, but took people back to the East Palace.Yang Shaojun followed his second brother and saw his second brother's silent face. He hadn't seen such an expression on his second brother's face for a long time. He wanted to ask something, but in the end he shut up and said nothing. did not ask.

"Your Highness, is the Emperor awake?" When Situ Xue saw the prince coming back, she knew that something happened in the palace today, and the prince had only returned to the mansion after going out.She was taking care of the child at the mansion, and did not follow the prince into the palace, she probably heard something about the things in the palace, and now that the prince came back, she went up to ask the emperor how he was doing.

"Don't worry, there are imperial physicians at the father's place." Yang Shaomu didn't go into details about the affairs in the palace, but only told him, "You take good care of Xuan'er in the house. Xuan'er is still young and needs someone to take care of her."

"Yes, Your Highness, if you don't tell me, the concubine will too." She will take good care of her own child without the crown prince's order. This is not only the prince's son, but also the son she gave birth to with all her life. This mother hopes that her son will be better.

The prince may have other children in the future, but to Situ Xue, only this child was born to her, her own flesh and blood, and other people's children are other people's children after all, there is a layer of separation after all.Only her own children will be her reliance. As early as the day she married the prince and became the princess, Situ Xue understood some things she might have to face in the future.

It was her luck to meet the prince. She was fascinated by the prince's appearance and demeanor at just one glance. She loves this man, and also loves the child they have together. Xuan'er is the child of both of them^

After Yang Shaomu said a few words to the Crown Princess, he asked the Crown Princess to go back to rest first, "I still have some things to do here."

"Your Highness, my concubine asked the kitchen to prepare food for you, why don't you have something to eat with His Highness the Sixth Highness first." Situ Xue hesitated, but persuaded.

"No hurry, I'll talk about it later." Yang Shaomu waved his hand, Situ Xue couldn't continue persuading him when he saw this, so he had to take people away first.Yang Shaomu took Yang Shaojun to the study, and after a while all the staff members raised by his family came over, and a group of people were discussing things in the study.

The queen who returned to the Changxi Palace ordered her confidantes to investigate today's events, a hideous look flashed in the queen's eyes, "Where did Concubine Shu find the person, and who else is involved in this matter, let me know." I checked it clearly and clearly!"

Based on her understanding of Concubine Shu, that woman has not had such foresight. She needs to know who is standing on the side of Shu.

Behind the concubine.That woman Zhao Yueyan has been dead for more than ten years, no one in this palace dared to mention that woman again, since she has been dead for so many years, why is her ghost still haunting her!Now there are still people who want to take advantage of Zhao Yueyan's death, want to drag her down from this position, and want to make her son fail to become emperor, she won't allow it, she will never allow it!even? ?city? ?

What Shangguan Wanqing couldn't forgive the most was that she didn't know anything about what these people did under her nose, so she was caught off guard by the emperor.

"Yes, ma'am."

At this time, none of the ladies who returned to the palaces was idle, and there were palace maids and eunuchs coming and going in and out of each palace, quietly sending the news out of the palace.The officials who returned from the palace did not stay idle when they returned to the mansion. Some officials went back to the mansion and changed into their regular clothes, then got into small sedan chairs and went out.

It was getting late, and there were no people on the streets of the capital. A gust of wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground.

They walked out of the palace, and the two of them were walking back together.

Li Wen thought about what happened in the palace today, whether the death of concubine Zhao Shi had something to do with the empress, after all, that was Zhao Xiangyi's aunt, and others were targeting the prince, so he knew that Zhao Xiangyi's heart must be Will care about this.

And the current situation of the emperor, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive the next year, and it is very likely that the crown prince will succeed to the throne, or one of the other princes.

Anyway, there must be one person to be the emperor in this world. Ordinary families have many children, and when the father dies, the sons will still fight for the family property, let alone in the emperor's house, the emperor is about to die, and the princes below must want to be the emperor.

At this time, the targets of those people are probably not only the queen and the prince, but also the Zhao family who is on the side of the prince. Others are already very good at killing two birds with one stone, but this one is planning to kill three birds with one stone. The one behind all of this is really a talent.

Is it the third prince, or the fourth prince, or the sixth prince?At the age of the Seventh Prince, if a child can be so profound, it would be terrifying.However, there is Dong Xiang with the Seventh Prince. Dong Xiang has been planning for Concubine Dong Gui and the Seventh Prince for so many years, and I am afraid that he is not someone who will sit and wait to see others become emperors.

The two were silent all the way, each thinking about their own affairs.

"you……,'

"you……,'

The two people opened their mouths at the same time and stopped at the same time, so that the other party should speak first.

This time Li Wen was a little faster and said, "Tell me first, what do you want to say to me?"

"I just want to say, let me send you back first." Zhao Xiangyi said.

"What about you?" Li asked, don't you want to go back together? Where are you going?The General's Mansion and Liuyuan Mansion both go back in this direction, just two streets away.

"I still have something to do. If I don't come back too late, don't wait for me." Zhao Xiangyi said.

Li Wen had no choice but to nod, and didn't ask what this person was busy with. Originally, he wanted to ask about Concubine Zhao Shi, but after thinking about it, he didn't ask.Presumably this man will have his thoughts and determinations in his heart, so let him handle it by himself.

Zhao Xiangyi sent his boy back to the gate of Liuyuan Mansion, then turned and left with his men.

Seeing the man leaving, Li Wencai turned around and entered the door. When he got home and smelled the food, he realized that he was hungry.I don't know if it's because I eat alone, I always feel a little less tasteful.The chopsticks picked up the food and put it in his mouth. While eating, he thought of the man who turned and left. He wondered if the man had gone to find something to eat, or he was still hungry.

Thinking of this, suddenly he couldn't eat and couldn't eat.

"Master, don't you want to eat?" Li Tong saw that his young master had only eaten one bowl of rice and put down the bowl and chopsticks. Don't their young masters usually eat three bowls of rice? Why didn't they eat it?This stomach is not full yet, why don't you continue to eat more

"I'm full, let's take it all down, and get someone to prepare hot water for me to take a bath."

Li Wen got up, went to the study, wanted to do something busy, walked around the study, and came out again.

When he returned to the bedroom, the hot water in the room was ready. He took off his clothes and soaked himself in it. He didn't come out of the water until the water was cold.This night, he waited for Zhao Xiangyi until his eyelids couldn't hold back and he fell asleep from sleepiness, but the man didn't come back.

When he got up the next day, he found that no one had slept on the other side of the bed. He knew that person hadn't come back last night.

On this day, the emperor was still unconscious, and the situation in the court was unclear.

The ministers who supported the prince's faction asked the prince to manage the affairs of the court on his behalf. The other factions did not speak, but it seemed that they did not want the prince to take power in their hands at this time.However, the crown prince did not accept the request from the ministers, and only did what he could do as a crown prince. On small matters, he would take whatever he could make up his mind on his behalf. The big ones still waited for the emperor to wake up and deal with them.

Only on this day, something unexpected happened in the palace6

The court lady who was brought by Concubine Shu to testify that the Queen had killed Concubine Zhao died in the dungeon. When she died, she bled from her orifices and died of poisoning. The eunuch who went to eat in the cell was the first to find out.

This incident aroused heated discussions among the people, and pushed the queen into the cusp of the storm.

No matter who killed the maid at this time, the death of Concubine Zhao Gui was related to the empress, making people suspect that the empress sent someone to kill the maid.The Empress Dowager once again made an attack on this incident, saying that the Empress could not manage the harem well and let people die under her nose. It was her dereliction of duty as an Empress, and once again asked the Empress to hand over the phoenix seal.

"My daughter-in-law will let people find out the truth of the matter and give everyone an explanation." The queen stretched out her hand and pinched the center of her eyebrows, but she didn't intend to hand over the Phoenix seal.

The empress and empress dowager's attitudes remained unchanged, and neither of them intended to take a step back.

But today, more than ten years later, even if the queen mother refuses to admit it, the daughter-in-law in front of her is no longer the daughter-in-law she could control at her disposal. This makes the queen mother very dissatisfied in her heart.

But after today's incident, some bad rumors began to circulate in the harem that the queen killed Concubine Zhao and killed her.The queen ordered that anyone in the palace who dared to discuss this matter would be punished with a stick.Therefore, the palace people no longer dare to discuss this matter.

Ever since the emperor fell into a coma, the empress dowager went out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning every day, and every time she picked the empress' thorns in front of everyone, she didn't give her daughter-in-law any face.Shangguan Wanqing sneered in her heart. Every time the Empress Dowager picked on her, she didn't say a word, didn't reply a word, as if the Empress Dowager was singing a one-man show alone.

The queen said to her prince, "Prince, you just do what you want, there is a queen mother here in the palace."

"Mother, thank you for your hard work. You have been paying attention to your body recently. The child is busy here, so you may not be able to take care of your mother." Yang Shaomu never asked his mother about Concubine Zhao. If he If he has doubts in his heart, he can send people around him to investigate, but he can't ask his biological mother about it.

If it weren't for the mother who gave birth to him, he wouldn't be where he is today, let alone the Dacheng prince, even if his mother really did something, it was all for his son.

But if Concubine Zhao Shi's death was related to his mother, how would he deal with it?For this possibility, Yang Shaomu didn't have any ideas in his mind.

Yang Shaomu only hoped that his mother had nothing to do with the death of Concubine Zhao.

"Prince, just do what you have to do. You don't have to worry about the queen mother. In the palace, the queen mother can still handle it." The queen was talking about these things that happened in the palace, as well as the queen mother.

The mother and son had a brief conversation, and Yang Shaomu left from his mother's queen.

Until the third day, when the emperor was still awake, the situation in the court became a bit delicate.

"The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the ministers and others implore His Royal Highness to preside over the government on his behalf."

The ministers of the court have asked the prince to take charge of the court affairs on their behalf. Now the emperor is unconscious, and there are Hu Jun watching. At this time, if there is no one in the court to manage the general affairs of the court, it will affect the entire court situation of Dacheng

Under the begging of many ministers, the prince nodded and said, "In this way, before the father wakes up, Gu will take care of the affairs of the court temporarily. Report all matters, big and small, to the emperor." This means that after the emperor wakes up, he will transfer the power back to the emperor.

Who knows when the emperor will wake up, or if he won't wake up?

In that case, the temporary management of the prince will not be temporary, but permanent.The crown prince is the crown prince appointed by the emperor himself, the crown prince of Dacheng. If something happens to the emperor, the crown prince will inherit the throne.

Then these princes will never have a chance again?No, they have been working hard for so long, they can't end up with nothing!

He can't wait any longer!Yang Shaokang looked at the prince and secretly clenched his fists.

At this time, not only the third prince became anxious, but also the others, and some of them couldn't bear it any longer and took action.
