Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Dai Yu brought Dun Hui into the palace together, the outside of the Ji Yuan Hall was already busy, many princes who came to pay their respects and visits knelt in the outer hall, and got close to the clan, many empresses and concubines in the inner hall also came.

The emperor lay on the dragon couch.The imperial doctor knelt in front of the couch, and was taking the pulse, trembling and cautiously, for fear of counting the wrong pulse.Seeing that the emperor was suddenly ill, the noble concubine Jinghuang was also very anxious. She stayed in front of her, wiping the emperor's sweat with one hand and fanning the emperor at the same time.The emperor is still in a coma, and he doesn't know when he will wake up.

There was panic in the palace.

The imperial doctor had finished his pulse diagnosis, and the imperial concubine hurriedly asked, "Is the emperor sick?"

The imperial doctor was afraid that the emperor could hear what they said, so he said calmly: "Mrs. Hui, the emperor's illness is not a big deal, it doesn't really matter. I'll wait and decide on the prescription."

The imperial concubine waved her hand.

Princess Yongjia came in front of her, and cried out when she saw this: "Father, father."

Concubine Jinghuang quickly persuaded: "Princess, don't cry, the imperial doctor said it's not a big deal, it's just a sudden illness, it's just a little sudden."

How could Yongjia not be sad, he stopped crying, and the teardrops were still falling down.The father lying on the dragon couch looked very old at the moment, his beard and hair were all white, she never thought that his father was so old.Then he reached out to touch his father's face, hoping that he would wake up earlier.

The sons were still kneeling outside the hall, except for the eldest son Shijin who was in Mobei, and the third son Shilang who was imprisoned in the mansion, the rest all rushed over.Shi Heng had just recovered from a serious illness, and his body seemed a little thin, and he knelt there along with his brothers.

Half an hour passed, the emperor finally woke up, the imperial concubine fed the medicine herself, choked up and said: "The emperor scared me to death, get well soon."

The emperor opened his eyes and looked around, only to see his Yaozheng in front of him, reaching out to hold his daughter's hand, trembling slightly, he said: "My Yaozheng, I saw your mother in a dream just now. She is still the same as before. , Nothing, nothing has changed."

Yaozheng felt more and more uncomfortable when she heard it, but she was afraid that her father would be worried, so she tried her best to hold back her tears, and choked up, saying, "My father is not in good health, you should take care of it with peace of mind, and don't move anymore." mind."

The emperor sighed, and there was infinite reluctance in his eyes. He faintly sensed that the illness was so severe that he didn't know if he could get through it. He had been seriously ill for several times before, and now he was getting old. Can't live.For some reason, I felt a little annoyed, so I sent Jinghuang Guifei and Yongjia away.

There were maids and personal servants in front of him, and then he closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while. When he woke up, He Nian said to him, "Your Majesty, the princes are still waiting to greet the Emperor."

The emperor was afraid of the noise at the moment, so he just said: "Let the sixth and seventh come in."

The New Year promised, so he went to spread the word.

Shiheng and Shiying were originally guarding outside, but when they heard they were summoned, they hurried into the inner room.The emperor had already half-lyed up, leaning on two golden shiny satin dragon pillows behind him, wearing an azurite Kesi uniform, his face didn't look very good, but his eyes were burning, and he seemed to be in good spirits.

Shiheng and Shiying kowtowed in front of him. The emperor hadn't seen Shiheng for more than a month, so he naturally asked first: "How is the sixth child safe?"

Shiheng replied: "Go back to father, he has recovered."

"That's great. I'm still waiting for you to help with these things. I never thought you'd been sick for so long."

But Shi Heng thought in his heart, if you hadn't been suspicious and persecuted him everywhere, he wouldn't have fallen ill by himself and avoided this place.

The emperor's gaze didn't linger on Shiheng for too long, and immediately went to look at Shiying again: "Lao Qi, what you did last time was really good, and I always wanted to praise you. But I didn't open my mouth. Here's the chance."

Shiying's nose was sour, and he quickly comforted him: "Father, don't worry, the imperial doctors said that Father is in good health and there is nothing serious, but you will be fine after a few days of rest."

The emperor sighed: "Hey, I know my body well." Then he looked at the two sons back and forth several times and said: "You two brothers will live in harmony in the future, and always think of brotherhood. It is said that our royal family relationship is weak, and I know about the things between you brothers, and it is my great fortune for you to be harmonious."

Shi Heng and Shi Ying quickly agreed.

The emperor went to see Shiheng again, and said earnestly: "Lao Liu, Lao Qi is a younger brother, two years younger than you. As an older brother, take good care of him and help him."

Shiheng answered yes, but his heart was already full of waves. What does the emperor mean by this? Could it be that he has already fallen in love with the seventh child? This is so straightforward, which means that he can only be a minister in the future?He couldn't believe that he was out just like that, his hard work couldn't just be in vain.Shiheng was very unwilling.

The emperor said again: "I ascended the throne at the age of 30, and it is now No. 19 years. I didn't expect that so many years have passed, and one day I was careless, holding the country in my hands, and never felt at ease. When you grow up, you will grow up." Marriage, feudal title and their own mansions, they are not as good as ordinary people, family happiness, but it has become empty talk."

Shiheng Shiying kowtowed hurriedly.

After the emperor spoke, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, leaned back, and looked at his two sons reluctantly.He has ten sons, seven of whom have survived so far.Since his crown prince left, the East Palace position has been vacant, and he also knows that these sons are fighting fiercely for the reserve position. In the early years, he looked at the third child a few more times, but he didn't know that the third child could not help him. The mud of the wall, these sons united to fight the third child down.

Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid that some people will die in me every day, thinking that after I die, they can do whatever they want."

The two sons hurriedly begged for mercy, but they dared not.

The emperor closed his eyes, waved his hands and said, "Go down. I want to be quiet."

Although his eyes are closed, his heart is as bright as a mirror, thinking that if he is really not good enough to pass this level, who should take over the big trouble.The emperor weighed every one of his sons back, and gradually the name appeared in his mind. He was passed a pen and paper, and sent away everyone around him. He braced his sick body and tried his best to write That edict.

He Nian, who was on duty, stood with his back facing him, wanting to use his peripheral vision to catch a glimpse of the emperor's last name.But he couldn't look at anything, he couldn't ask, he thought to himself: Either the sixth prince or the seventh prince, there shouldn't be a third person, there are two candidates, but there is only one position.

The emperor's hand holding the pen trembled violently. After panting for a while, he picked up the pen to write two characters again. When he reached the name of the most important candidate, he put down the pen, thought it over and over again, and finally wrote down the pen.

He called out to celebrate the New Year, and put the imperial edict into the brocade box by himself.What is in this brocade box is the future of Da Zhou.Holding the box in his hands, He Nian's hands trembled, and the sweat on his back had already soaked his clothes.

The emperor also asked Zhongshun Wang Yongze, Prince Duan, Yongjia's son-in-law, Minister of War, Minister of Rites, Minister of Household, Minister of Industry, and Minister of Punishment to have an audience.

It took two full hours to summon this time, and in the past two hours, no one outside knew what the emperor had said.

Shiheng waited anxiously outside, but it was easy to inquire.When they came out, Shiheng hurried up, pulled King Zhongshun and said, "Good lord, I'm really anxious to death."

Yong Ze's face was the same as Shi Heng's, with the same stern look, he quickly pulled Shi Heng to a remote place and said to him: "The emperor asked us to go there and didn't ask any special questions, his attitude is still unpredictable."

Shi Heng's face became more and more solemn, and he said slowly: "We still have to make a plan, the father called me and the seventh brother to go over, and I always feel bad after hearing that, so I have to ask Lord Zhong to help me." Bundle."

Yongze patted him on the shoulder and smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, the sixth prince, as long as the sixth prince gives orders, we will all obey the sixth prince."

Shiheng said: "This matter needs to be planned slowly, and one step must not be wrong, otherwise all efforts will be wasted, and you and I will have no future."

King Zhongshun nodded, and said again: "I still have to avoid suspicion, I will go back first. If there is anything, the sixth prince can just order."

Shiheng stood where he was, watching King Zhongshun's back.Feeling a little frustrated, the words Caifuhuang asked him to help the seventh brother really made him very unhappy.Before that final answer is made public, he must take action and cannot sit still.After thinking about it, he hurried back to the house and called someone to discuss the countermeasures.

When the emperor woke up, it was already dark outside, and Princess Yongjia was still guarding him.The emperor looked at his daughter, opened his mouth and asked, "Yaozheng, you can go. I'm fine."

Yongjia's face showed a slight joy: "It doesn't matter, I was sick when I was young, and my father also stood by like this, it should be like this."

The emperor stroked his daughter's hair, and said affectionately: "Silly girl, you are now a mother, and you still mention what you did when you were a child."

Yong Jia pursed his lips and smiled: "It is only from being a mother that a daughter knows that the father is not easy."

The emperor leaned forward and said, "Go and rest, I'm not on guard."

Although Yongjia was worried, but for the sake of his father's peace of mind, he had no choice but to resign first.

Not long after Yongjia left, Shi Heng and He Nian came together. He Nian was holding a tea tray in his hand, which was filled with steaming medicine.

Shiheng went straight to the dragon couch, bent his knees, and said with concern in his eyes, "Is Father better?"

The emperor still looked a little weak: "It's a little bit better. It's about this time, what else are you rushing for?"

"My son is worried, so I came to take a look."

He Nian said to him, "Yes, Your Majesty. The Sixth Prince is thinking about His Majesty. By the way, the medicine is ready. Please take it."

The emperor thought the smell of the medicine was too strong, so he just said: "Let's put it first."

Shi Heng beat the emperor's leg, and said with a smile: "Father Huang said that the family is happy, and my minister brought Rong Er here. Do you want to see Father?"

When the emperor heard about his grandson, his eyes brightened and he asked, "Where is my grandson?"

Shiheng beckoned to the back, only to see a seven-year-old child running over immediately.

The emperor finally had a smile on his calm face, he pulled his grandson up and down to look him up and down, he couldn't get enough of it, he was his most beloved grandson.
