The Four Concubines

First day of February

Daqin Tianwen's first morning court in five years

Before the start of the court meeting, most of the officials who came earlier gathered together in twos and threes to chat in a low voice, and occasionally a few sensitive words came out of the hall.

Many officials had expected that today's morning court would be a "bloody storm", but to their surprise, the "bloody storm" did not come, but a sick report came.

The emperor actually took leave of absence.

Yun Xiao has been on the throne for five years, except when he was not in the capital, he has never been dismissed from the court once, this time?

"Master Prime Minister, do you know what happened to the emperor?" A wise official asked a sensible person.

Feeling the gazes from all directions, Dong Yubai's facial expression slightly changed to serious and worried, "I visited the emperor once in the palace a few days ago, the emperor's situation..."

Dong Yubai paused on purpose.

"How is the emperor?" Seeing Dong Yubai's hesitation, an official asked cautiously.

Dong Yubai shook his head slightly, and said three words, "Not very good."

boom!

The civil and military officials exploded.

What does this not good mean?Is the emperor critically ill?What's the matter?Why is there no sound at all.

"My lord prime minister, don't be a fool, what's wrong with the emperor?" the impatient minister couldn't help asking.

Dong Yubai's face was solemn, "The emperor's expedition to Guangxia this time, the journey is far away, and the marching speed is fast, the emperor himself is a bit too much, and the climate in Guangxia is very different from my Daqin. The emperor did not get a good rest, and went to the expedition in person. Afterwards, I came back through the wind and snow, and my body was exhausted."

"What did the imperial doctor say?" Another minister asked.

Dong Yubai shook his head, "The emperor didn't let the imperial physician speak, so I didn't ask carefully."

"Eh."

All of a sudden, he sighed upwards.

Dong Yubai glanced at the civil and military officials from the corner of his eye, and said in a sad tone after a while, "Hey, you adults don't have to worry too much. Before leaving, the emperor specifically asked me not to worry, and I don't have to tell everyone. The emperor's body should be fine."

"...But I didn't expect that after so many days, the emperor is still unable to go down..."

"This... can't go down to the ground?"

"The emperor is so sick?"

"How good is that."

"..."

Li Ran lowered his head and tried to reduce his sense of presence, Jiang is still old and hot, look at Prime Minister Dong!This lied without blinking, what else, the first sentence said "you adults don't have to worry", the latter sentence will make the emperor unable to go down, according to his statement, these adults should not be scared to death.

The discussion in the court hall became louder and louder. The current emperor has no heirs and no brothers and sisters. If something happens to Yun Xiao, the world will definitely be in chaos.

It’s hard work, the Northland and Guangxia have subsided, Daqin no longer has to worry about the border issue, and the court’s ethos has been revived, Daqin is about to usher in a good time, and the emperor will die soon?

Eh!

Dong Yubai saw that the emotions of all the officials were about the same, and resorted to the last trump card, "I have been a prime minister for decades, and I have been an official for three dynasties. I thought I would finally see my Great Qin rule the world in my lifetime, but I ignored the emperor's body. I am really dereliction of duty. ah."

After Dong Yubai finished speaking, he felt a lot of vicissitudes.

The courtiers around heard Dong Yubai's words, and after careful study, they also looked sad. They usually don't want to be okay, but after such a thing happened, it was really not easy for Yun Xiao to make such a plan. He traveled westward, and in terms of meritorious service, if it is put into the annals of history, he is the best among emperors.

Really young and promising, but now, is it going to die young?

Eh!

It was the first time that Li Ran admired Dong Yubai in her heart, and she deserved to be a prime minister. A few words touched the emotions of all civil and military officials. She even saw several ministers wipe their tears.

"What the prime minister said is that the emperor is like this, because we are too useless as courtiers to share the emperor's worries."

"Yeah...it's useless for me to wait."

"Eh."

"My lords, don't belittle yourself." The eldest grandson Wugou appeared from the back hall, and walked slowly to the dragon chair.

"See Empress Dowager." All the officials saluted.

"My lords are free from courtesy." The eldest grandson Wugou raised his hand, "This palace is entrusted by the emperor, and I came here to convey a few words to all the lords."

"Listen to the Word."

The eldest grandson Wugou spoke slowly, "The Emperor said that I was very worried when I learned of the plague in the south of the Yangtze River. I hope all the ministers will work together to deal with this matter, so that the people in the south of the Yangtze River must not suffer from the plague."

"I would like to obey His Majesty's orders!"

The eldest grandson Wugou glanced around, and said softly, "The emperor is not in good health, Daqin... I will leave it to the ministers." After speaking, he sighed and left the hall.

Changsun Wugou's soft sigh, like a lingering voice, hit the hearts of all the officials deeply.

Li Ran: "..."

What devils are you! ! !Is the actor reincarnated! !All the ministers around me cried for a while!

"Eh……"

After the eldest grandson Wugou left, there was another burst of sighs in the hall, thinking that their emperor was too sick to go to the ground, and was still worried about the plague in the south of the Yangtze River...

"Master Prime Minister, please also preside over the government affairs." A minister who finished crying said.

"Yes, Lord Prime Minister, you should see how to deal with the matter in the south of the Yangtze River. Make a regulation, and we won't let the emperor down!"

"Yes, yes! Your Excellency..."

The atmosphere in the court hall suddenly changed, and all the civil and military officials asked Dong Yubai to preside over the court affairs.

Dong Yubai turned his back to the dragon chair, and bowed to the officials in the main hall, "The matter in the south of the Yangtze River is of great importance, and I hope all adults can take care of it."

"The prime minister's words are serious, I'm waiting for my duty."

……

When the eldest grandson Wugou returned to Weiyang Palace, Yun Xiao was biting the penholder, holding a book in his hand, looking at the sky and wondering what to think.

The eldest grandson Wugou walked over softly, glanced at the book in Yunxiao's hand, and found that it turned out to be a white page.

"What are you doing?" Changsun Wugou asked in confusion.

"Ah, you're back." Yun Xiao regained consciousness with a bright smile.

Because she didn't have to go to court and was in the Weiyang Palace, Yun Xiao only wore casual clothes for the sake of convenience. The eldest grandson Wugou, who was dressed in a palace uniform, stood beside her, and the two of them in the same frame did not seem at all awkward.

Because of being in a high position in the past few years, the aura cultivated has been different from before. If it is said that before the blessing of court clothes was needed to recognize the body of an emperor, then the current Yun Xiao, even in coarse linen clothes, cannot hide her Temperament inside out.

"Are you tired?" Yun Xiao thoughtfully handed over a cup of hot tea.

The eldest grandson Wugou sat across from Yunxiao, took the tea, and said with a smile, "It's just that it's not so tiring to go to the front court and talk a few words."

"How about Chaoshang?" Yun Xiao asked again.

"Well, when I went, many ministers were already wiping their tears. Before I left, some ministers were already crying for the second round." Changsun Wugou shook his head after finishing speaking. It can be regarded as a blow to the hearts of the courtiers.

"You haven't told me what you're holding in your hand? Are you reading any more books?" Changsun Wugou was very interested in the book in Yunxiao's hand.

Yun Xiao handed the book over, Changsun Wugou closed the book and glanced at the cover, "The Emperor's Book?"

"Who wrote this, dare to name it like this..." Changsun Wugou said as he turned the title page, and the word "Yun Xiao" happened to fall into her eyes.

Grandson Wugou: "..."

Yun Xiao said confidently, "What's the matter? I am the Emperor of Qin, so is there a problem with the book I wrote called "Emperor's Book"!"

……

The eldest grandson Wugou raised his forehead helplessly, "That can't be called the "Emperor's Book"..." Turning a page along the way, it's not that there is no ink, the length is not long, and it can be read in a few breaths, but the content... …

Changsun Wugou read it again, couldn't help raising his head and asked, "Is this "A Cup of Wine and the Power of Soldiers" real?"

"Naturally..." Yun Xiao just wanted to say it was true, but his mind suddenly woke up, and he quickly changed his words, "I made it up myself."

"Really?" Changsun Wugou was full of doubts.

Yun Xiao quickly said, "Yes, yes, I thought that I don't have to worry about anything now anyway, why not write a book?"

The eldest grandson Wugou compared the book in his hand, "Then who do you plan to let read this book?"

"Of course, everyone in the world can read it." Yun Xiao replied, "The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom. There is a golden house in the book. Some people think it is a story, and some think it is a strategy. It all depends on what the reader thinks."

The eldest grandson Wugou was silent for a moment, put the book back in front of Yun Xiao, and watched Yun Xiao pat the pages.

"Ah?" Yun Xiao was puzzled.

The eldest grandson Wugou took a sip of hot tea, and said flatly, "Write quickly, I'll wait and read the rest."

Yun Xiao: ...

The number of reminders +1

……

Early March

Changsun Wuchen brought the forbidden army to Chuncheng with the food and grass sent by the capital.

Contrary to what he had imagined before, not only was Chuncheng not affected by the plague, but the city was full of people's voices and a lively scene.

……

Imperial Palace Zichen Palace.

"Report, Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Zhongshu, and Minister of the Ministry of Industry are out to see you."

Xiao Chuo said without raising his head, "Let them in."

"See the imperial concubine and empress." The three said in unison.

"The news from Jiangnan is back? Tell me, what's going on?"

……

In mid-March, the fact that Yun Xiao was seriously ill and unable to go to court was finally "cannot be concealed". Everyone in the capital knew from the streets to alleys that the current emperor was seriously ill and could not go to court.

For a time, people in the capital were panicked.

At the same time, the rumors in the capital began to change directions. Yun Xiao's achievements in the past few years were listed, and he wrote two pages in total. The common people only found out after counting them. However, within a few years, this young The little emperor has already done so many things.

And now the young emperor is working hard for state affairs. Thinking about how they lived when the late emperor was there a few years ago, and seeing how they lived first, no one in the capital will ever say that Yun Xiao is not good. up.

The common people spontaneously organized and went to the gate of the imperial city every day to shout long live, and the Da Chongming Temple in the capital was hung with notes praying for Yun Xiao.

And Yun Xiao...was "trapped" by Changsun Wugou and Luo Shui every day to write the "Emperor's Letter".

When Yun Xiao and Changsun Wugou explained, although they said that it was called "Emperor's Book" because she was the emperor, it was actually because the stories she wrote were all about the ancient emperors of the previous life, and she just integrated the stories of the past dynasties into one Together, it is called "Emperor Book".

Luo Shui strolled here one day, and after discovering what Yun Xiao was writing, he also joined the army of reminders...

When Xiao Chuo entered Weiyang Palace, he saw Yun Xiao sitting on the table of the Eight Immortals in the courtyard, writing something vigorously, beside her elder grandson Wugou who was helping her sharpen the ink, and Luo Shui sitting on the side, going to each other one by one. Grapes in mouth.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao Gui has arrived." The servant at the side reminded.

In an instant, three pairs of eyes looked at Xiao Chuo.

When he felt a certain gaze, Xiao Chuo subconsciously grabbed his neckline.

Yun Xiao:? ? ?

If she wasn't blind, the mark on Xiao Chuo's neck...

? ? ? ? ?

Coupled with her actions...

Yun Xiao slowly turned her eyes to Luoshui, her eyes were quite complicated.

Xiao Chuo was afraid that Yun Xiao would say something that would make her want to kill someone, so he hurriedly said, "Yun Xiao, you are going to have a concubine again!"

The palace people present: ...

Which song is this singing today?

Yun Xiao: ...

What the hell? ? ? ?

Changsun Wugou put down the ink stick in his hand, turned his gaze to Yun Xiao, and said a word in a gentle tone, "Oh?"

Luo Shui was delighted to hear the news and booed along the way, "It's a beautiful woman!"

Xiao Chuo glared at Luo Shui, "What does it have to do with you!"

Yun Xiao: "..."

Yes, today's melons are huge...
