To The Land of Nevernight

Once Taishi Zhou entered the Funing Palace, others were not allowed to enter again.Even Ji Fu stood beside Tang Shen and waited outside for a quarter of an hour before the door of Funing Palace opened from the inside.

Ji Fu hurried up and said with an apologetic smile, "Grand Master, have the officials ever woken up?"

"Never."

Naturally, there is no such thing as Taishi Zhou is just a person, not a god.Zhao Fu has been in a coma for so many days, how could he wake up as soon as he came back?I don't know why Ji Fu asked this question, he showed a concerned and distressed look: "The official has been in a coma for more than [-] days, grand master, what should I do, this slave is just a eunuch, I have no idea. But slave always Thinking, the official family is the son of the real dragon blessed by heaven, so it will be fine."

Grand Master Zhou glanced at him, and said in a sonorous and forceful voice, "Naturally."

Because Ji Fu kept laughing, his face almost froze from laughing.Finally Grand Master Zhou looked away from him and looked at Tang Shen who was beside him.

Tang Shen had already made preparations, he bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "The right servant of the Ministry of Industry, Tang Shen, has met Grand Master." No need for Grand Master Zhou to ask, Tang Shen directly explained why he was here Shi made it clear: "Your Majesty has been in a coma for many days, Qinzheng Palace will send officials to guard outside Funing Palace every day, today is the turn of the officials."

Taishi Zhou held the long sword at his waist with one hand, and said with a mighty posture, "I have heard Jingde talk about you."

Tang Shen: "This official has met General Li for several times."

Taishi Zhou and Tang Shen gave a few more instructions, almost all of which were questions from the elders to the younger generation, without showing any liking or dislike.As suddenly as when he came, the general of the world's soldiers and horses stepped into the snow, and his boots made deep footprints in the snow.

White snow fell on his cloak, and the wind blew in, making a sound of hunting.

Ji Fu patted his chest with lingering fear, talked and laughed with Tang Shen, and then entered Funing Palace again.

A snowflake drifted down from outside the eaves, Tang Shen stretched out his hand and caught it.The palm is warm, and soon the snowflakes will melt.When Tang Shen raised his head again, Grand Master Zhou's figure had disappeared into the boundless snow and was never seen again.

Taishi Zhou's sudden return to Beijing was not a trivial matter, and it immediately attracted the attention of many parties.

Tang Shen was also very curious, but now that Wang Qinyuan is in Jinling and has not returned to Beijing, he has no place to ask.On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Quan's wife celebrated her birthday, and he sent someone to invite Tang Shen to the mansion for dinner. After the meal, Wang Quan called several of his confidants to the study.

Almost all the backbone of the royal party gathered in this small study.

Tang Shen is not counted, he is not a royal party, but he has a special status, so Wang Quan also called him.

After everyone gathered, Wang Quan sipped hot tea and said first, "Teacher Zhou returned to Beijing, what do you think?"

Everyone expressed their opinions.

"The grand master has been with your majesty for many years. When your majesty was the prince, he studied under Li Mohe, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion at that time. But the grand master Li died of illness 30 years ago. To your majesty, the grand master is A real good teacher and helpful friend. This time, His Majesty's headache is so fierce, I am afraid that the Grand Master will come back to Beijing to see you if it is really at a critical juncture."

"The lower officials also feel the same way, I'm afraid it's true this time..."

Talk to the end, but everyone knows it well.

Wang Quan looked at Tang Shen: "I heard that on the day Grand Master Zhou returned to the capital, is it true that you were on duty in the palace?"

Everyone turned their heads to look at Tang Shen in unison.

Tang Shen stood up and made a slight bow: "Yes. That day, it was my turn to guard outside the Funing Palace, and I happened to meet the Grand Master."

"Master Tang, do you feel anything strange?"

Tang Shen: "It's not unusual, after the Grand Master entered Funing Palace, he only stayed for a quarter of an hour before he came out."

An official sighed and said: "That's natural, Your Majesty is unconscious, so what if the Grand Master saw it, are you still sitting by the bed and waiting?"

Tang Shen: "But the grand master never showed a look of grief."

Wang Quan's eyes lit up: "How to say?"

Tang Shen carefully considered the situation that day, and he speculated: "The Grand Master will not just come to see His Majesty when he returns to Beijing. The Grand Master has been fighting abroad all year round, and there is no gap between him and His Majesty. If Your Majesty His body is exactly as the adults said, the medicine and stone are useless and powerless, and the grand master will definitely be mentally and mentally strained. But judging from the grand master's appearance and words... it seems that there is still a turning point."

Wang Quan: "How to turn around?"

Tang Shen was speechless, he really couldn't say this!

Fortunately, Master Zhou didn't make them wait too long. The next day, a well-known folk doctor was summoned into the palace to diagnose Zhao Fu's pulse and treat his illness.

Tang Shen used to think that the Great Hermit lived in the city, and it was always said in the TV novels that all the magic doctors hide in the mountains and forests.The emperor was seriously ill, and they descended from the sky, easily solving the problem that the imperial doctors were helpless.But now he is well-informed, and only after he really entered it did he realize that in this era, imperial power is greater than everything else!

There is nothing the emperor can't get if he wants it.

Can a "miracle doctor" from anywhere be better than an imperial doctor?This is simply a fantasy.The imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital can be regarded as a miracle doctor among the people.

But this time the miraculous doctor was found by Taishi Zhou.

All the officials were suspicious again: Is this genius doctor really a treasure left in the sea, who can cure the emperor's illness?

Everyone waited and watched quietly. Soon, another new year passed, and Zhao Fu still didn't wake up.The three princes who stayed in the capital were like ants on a hot pot. Their hearts ignited suddenly. Many things that they had thought about but didn't dare to think about later, like tarsal maggots, crawled into their hearts densely. heart.They tried their best not to think about it, but how could they forget it.

Years later, the three princes took turns entering the palace to serve the sick.

Seeing that the emperor is really about to wake up, the country cannot live without a king, and all the officials in the court gradually have an idea.

In the 35th year of Kaiping, the second day of February, the Spring Dragon Festival.

Wearing a brand-new official robe, Tang Shen came to the Hall of Qinzheng against a cold spring rain.The spring rain was silent and dense, Tang Shen held up an umbrella but it was useless, the light rain wet his clothes.He talked to him for a while, and Xu Linghou, the left servant of the household department in the same room, arrived.

Seeing that Tang Shen's clothes were soaked, Xu Linghou smiled and said, "The left and right are fine today, Mr. Tang, why don't you go back to the Ministry of Industry first."

It was talking about returning to the Ministry of Industry, but in fact it was telling Tang Shen to go home directly.

In the past, when Wang Qin was on duty, he used the name of "Return to the Household Department" to disappear.For example, when he first met Tang Shen, Wang Qin, Minister of the Household Department, was supposed to be working in the Household Department, but he showed up at Fu Wei's house.

Xu Linghou is Wang Qin's confidant, and he has Wang Qin's heart more than Qin Si.Tang Shen teased: "The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs are all well versed in this way!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Ling's thick eyes showed surprise: "Is there anyone else who often goes to the Ministry of Industry?"

Tang Shen: "Your Master Shangshu."

Xu Linghou laughed and said, "Isn't it Mr. Tang's pillow?"

Tang Shen: "..."

Compared with his face, he is really not as thick as the people in the household department!

But Xu Linghou was wrong about one sentence, where is Wang Qin's bedside person for Tang Shen?Not to mention sharing the same bed, the two of them haven't seen each other for almost half a year!As soon as Wang Qin went to Jinling, he couldn't get away. He had already stayed in Jinling for three full months.

The two talked a few more words, only to see a yamen servant trotting into the house.

Xu Linghou: "Why are you so panicked?"

Yamen official: "Respond to the words of the adults, Your Majesty is awake! Xu Xianggong ordered the younger ones to go to the halls of all the adults and say it again. He wants you to go to Funing Palace immediately."

Tang Shen and Xu Linghou opened their mouths slightly, both were stunned.

No one expected that Zhao Fu could still wake up after being in a coma for two months!

The Palace of Qinzheng was originally set up in the palace, and now the emperor woke up, the officials of the Palace of Qinzheng rushed to the outside of Funing Palace immediately.But no one was able to go in, because Zhou Taishi was talking to the emperor in the hall.After waiting for a few quarters of an hour, the chief eunuch Ji Fu came out to report: "Your Majesty summoned Xu Xianggong, Wang Xianggong, Chen Xianggong and Geng Xianggong into the palace."

The four of Xu Wei immediately entered the hall, this time it took a full half an hour before the four of them came out.

The expressions of the four were uncertain, Xu Wu raised his head and looked at more than 20 high-ranking officials waiting outside the Hall of Qinzheng, among them was his favorite student Yu Chaosheng.Xu Wei waved his hand and said: "Let's all go back today. Your Majesty just woke up today, and the dragon's body is not feeling well. Starting tomorrow, Qinzheng Palace will send two officials to Funing Palace every day."

Everyone said in unison, "Yes."

All the officials left, but Taishi Zhou was still in Funing Palace.

Although Zhao Fu woke up, he was still lying on the couch and needed a period of recuperation.But the next day, an imperial decree was sent to Jiangnan: Zhao Fu summoned Wang Qin to return to Beijing.

Four days later, the left servant of the Shangshu shot the prince Feng Wang, and returned to Shengjing in a hurry.

Wang Qin had just returned to Shengjing in the morning, and in the afternoon, Tang Shen received an imperial decree asking him to enter the palace to face the saint.

The two met again, and it was actually in front of Funing Palace.Tang Shen looked at his senior brother whom he hadn't seen for half a year, with mixed feelings in his heart.Lovesickness cannot be entrusted by writing letters, and both of them stared at each other deeply.Wang Qin raised his hand, put his index finger to his lips, and said softly, "Hush."

The corner of Tang Shen's mouth curled up: "Let's go, Lord Wang."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked into Funing Palace together.

As soon as he entered the hall, Tang Shen smelled a burst of strong medicinal fragrance.Taishi Zhou was not in the hall, Ji Fu led Wang Qin and Tang Shen into the bedroom, and saw an old man with gray hair guarding beside the dragon couch.

"My lord, Wang Qin/Tang Shen, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Zhao Fu's body was not as weak as outsiders thought, at the moment he was lying on the bed, leaning on the pillow, looking down at the booklet.Hearing the sound, he raised his head.Seeing his face, Tang Shen was shocked: the emperor has become so thin!

Zhao Fu had never been so thin, his cheeks were sunken, and there were more wrinkles on his face.But his eyes were clear, and his eyes were piercing.Seeing Tang Shen and Wang Qin, he put down the booklet and waved to them: "Come closer, I don't have the energy to speak loudly to you now."
