Chapter 38: How to Divide the Weight with the King (24)

[Second Update.] Ask for a commuter pass. 】

The Son of Heaven, who had just woken up, had dull eyes, and his consciousness had not yet been released from the solidified darkness.

Han Gang didn't expect Zhao Ji to be able to speak after fainting.

Looking up and down at Zhao Ji with a scrutinizing gaze, Han Gang turned his head, "It's really God's blessing, Your Majesty has finally woken up." ”

"Amitabha."

I don't know who started it, and the sound of chanting Buddha in the dormitory sounded.

Wang Anshi and Han Gang couldn't help frowning, the lower the level, the more popular the belief in religion, inside and outside the palace, on the eighth day of the fourth month, all of them were good men and women who burned incense and worshiped the Buddha. Zhao Ji is seriously ill, and the blood-piercing scriptures are also a swarm of bees, and the Diamond Sutra written with tongue blood in the palace is not one or two.

But this is not helped, the world is like this. Fortunately, the vast majority of people are not so religious, worshipping the Buddha and worshipping the Taoist, and there are ancestral tablets in the house, after all, they are not those fanatical believers in the west.

Empress Xiang pulled the prince Zhao maid to the bedside, and Han Gang took the opportunity to retreat from the crowd.

"Yukun." Wang Anshi had a serious expression and asked Han Gang: "How is the situation?" ”

Han Gang groaned, shook his head and said to Wang Anshi: "Father-in-law, let's ask the imperial doctor." The son-in-law can't say it right now. ”

"You can say as much as you can, just a sentence and a half, what is the condition of the Son of Heaven?"

Han Gang said softly, "There shouldn't be a next time." ”

Of course, it is not that Zhao Ji will not get sick again, but that he cannot wake up again after the onset of the disease. Who can have two or three strokes and still save their lives? Although the world is big, even if there are exceptions, it will not fall on the head of the weak Zhao Guanjia.

Wang Anshi's expression became more solemn, and he seemed to be mentally prepared in the direction of the deterioration of the situation.

In fact, in Han Gang's opinion, Zhao Ji can wake up like this, and his problem should not be very serious. If he really had another stroke, with the current condition of the Son of Heaven, it would be impossible to wake up again.

Maybe it's just ordinary dizziness. People who are weak may have an accident if they stand and sit for a long time. And Zhao Ji's physical condition is even more unbearable. Maybe it was because he was hurriedly pulled up on the Jiying Palace, and the violent movement caused the brain to lose blood suddenly, making the small problem that was just a little filth become fainting.

But there's no point in guessing so much now. Han Gang only knows one thing, a person's political life is not determined by illness, but by the confidence of the outside world. Including courtiers, but also the emperor. Cai Ting, the privy deputy envoy of 'who reads Yuguan people old', was invited out of the court, but he fell ill in the palace.

Once the news of Zhao Ji's illness at the sutra feast spreads, the courtiers will lose any confidence in him. Even if he can still write with his fingers and listen to people read the chapters later, as long as the courtiers below think that this emperor is likely to be in the next moment, who will listen to him except for those who like to gamble and ignore the queen's edicts?

"Yukun." Wang Anshi asked softly, staring at Han Gang, "Do you want the prince to prepare his homework?" ”

Preparing for homework?

Han Gang raised his eyebrows. Either simply hide it to the end, or simply pick it out and say it clearly, what do you do half-covered?

He knew what Wang Anshi wanted to test.

Establish the crown prince and respect Zhao Ji as the emperor.

"The prince has been established, and the storage position is determined. There is a queen to take care of the inside and outside, why do you need to do this again? What's more, if you persecute your father, how can the prince be safe? We and other Confucian ministers can't teach the prince to be unfilial! ”

Han Gang would not have proposed that.

The courtiers who can force the emperor to abdicate are extremely dangerous in everyone's eyes. How could the next emperor still trust him when he came up? It must be a thorn in the side.

Why did Han Qi invite him out of the court in his early sixties and never came back? He did oppose the change of the law, but long before he started to change the law, Han Qi had already gone out. Because he is a minister, and when Shenzong was about to ascend the throne, Yingzong said that even if Yingzong recovered, he could only be a minister of the emperor.

If you really lead the inheritance of the throne with your own hands, even if you can still enjoy wealth and prosperity, you will never want to enter the two mansions again for the rest of your life.

After waiting for a while, the crowd around Zhao Ji still did not disperse, and Han Gang raised his voice outside, "Your Highness, let Your Majesty rest first." At this time, it is necessary to cultivate more spirits. ”

Han Gang's words made the people in the hall like Feng Lunyin. The decoction that had just been boiled was hurriedly poured into Zhao Ji. Due to the lack of medicinal effect of mandala, in today's Taiyi Bureau, the decoction of soothing the nerves is filled with poppy poppy - that is, opium, and the latter corn is used as a capsule fruit solution - this medicinal material.

Zhao Ji was drugged and fell asleep not long after. The queen also broke away, leaving only the crown prince to serve his father by the bedside.

Wang Anshi had been waiting for a long time, facing the queen directly, and asked softly but firmly: "Your Highness, what happened to the banquet just now?" ”

"It's official...... It's my official family...... That's not good......"

For what to ask for the hasty end of the feast, the queen looked unspeakable. When Wang Anshi asked with a cold face, he stammered.

"Pingzhang." Han Gang intervened, making the queen feel relieved.

Wang Anshi glared back, Han Gang sighed lightly and shook his head: "The prince is still here...... Save a decent point. ”

Wang Anshi looked at the Zhao maid who was struggling to sort out the bedding for Zhao Ji on the royal couch, his heart softened, and he didn't ask anymore.

The reason that Han Gang could guess, he could also think of. Some things are helpless, Zhao Ji is the reason for his illness, and he should be considerate. In order to preserve the dignity of the emperor, the empress did nothing wrong.

"Your Highness, although the Son of Heaven has awakened now, the hearts of the people in Beijing have inevitably fluctuated in the past few days, and the two governments still take turns to stay in the palace." Han Gang proposed to the empress, "Why the minister and Pingzhang stayed in the palace for a long time, they must also inform the two governments." ”

"The Privy Counsellor is right." Xiang nodded to the queen, "I'll summon the Zaifu into the palace." ”

Wang Anshi's eyes widened slightly, then he sighed and shook his head. Whether you can act calmly is the key to judging whether you are concerned about the Son of Heaven. Wang Anshi forgot to inform the two governments for a while, but Han Gang remembered it very clearly. Which one cares more about Zhao Ji himself, in fact, is obvious.

"As for His Majesty's ......side," Han Gang continued, "just follow Your Majesty's wishes, and it may be better in a few days." ”

Empress Xiang's face was as pale as ever. Wang Anshi looked out the door, and there was no joy or sorrow on his face.

The four words that follow the heart cannot be said casually to the patient's family. A thousand years later, a thousand years ago, it was the same truth.

After a while, Wang Anshi said to the queen, "Your Highness, let the old minister stay here today,"

Han Gang nodded, "If Ping Zhang is guarded, Han Gang will be able to rest assured." ”

Empress Xiang was stunned when she heard this. "What about you?"

Han Gang glanced at Wang Anshi and said to the queen: "The minister is inconvenienced. ”

The Zaifu guards took shifts, almost two or three people per shift. Han Gang stayed straight on the same day with Wang Qi, Xue Xiang, and Zhang Qi that day, and they bumped into the big scene of supporting the crown prince, and this credit is enough to eat for three lifetimes. Now which one can collide with the Son of Heaven and return to heaven is also a great opportunity. It's just that if Suzhi's Zaifu has too close a relative, he will inevitably be suspicious. Wang Anshi and Han Gang are Weng sons-in-law, and now they are suspected, and if they stay in the palace together today, they will inevitably cause trouble.

Xiang looked at Wang Anshi to the queen, and then at Han Gang, back and forth two or three times, and suddenly realized. With a little caution, he said to Wang Anshi, "Pingzhang ......"

Wang Anshi stared at Han Gang for a while, and sighed, "Then I'll be tired of Yukun tonight." ”

"As it should be." Han Gang arched his hand, and unconsciously, everyone forgot about Wang Anshi and the fact that he had submitted his resignation.

After another moment, Lei Jian came out of the inner compartment.

"The Son of Heaven suffered an intracranial hemorrhage and a stroke. This is the second time I have had a stroke. If I had heard of it once earlier, it would have been three times. Every stroke is extremely difficult to recover from the damage to the head. The six suns gather, the dwelling place of the gods. It hurts the head, and even the spirit can go wrong. ”

"Ray worship is right." Han Gang picked up and said, "In the old year of the minister, I saw a veteran who was removed from the list, and half of his skull was shattered in the head by the iron shovel of the party's iron harrier, and he was finally rescued. But it was originally a very gentle temperament, but after being injured, it became irritable and irritable, just like two people. Bone injuries and strokes, although they are one inside and one outside, but after all, they hurt the head of Liuyang, and some of the symptoms are the same. ”

In the twelve canons, the hands are three yangs and the feet are all gathered in the head, so there is a saying that the six yangs are the head. Since the onset of the disease, Zhao Ji's personality has indeed changed a lot, but after lying in bed for half a year, even a normal person's personality will still change. But Han Gang only gave one example, and the normal changes have also become abnormal symptoms.

Lei Jian said: "This is the symptom of hurting the Six Yang Sutras and damaging the Yang and Qi of Yang and Harmony. Between the micro-ministers, the stove on the day gathers the sun essence fire medicine, or there is a tonic. ”

"Sun Spirit?" Wang Anshi and Xiang asked the queen questions at the same time.

"Actually, it's not so mysterious, it's a solar cooker, just like a magnifying glass can focus light and ignite a fire, a concave mirror can also focus light and make a fire. The so-called solar essence fire is to gather the sun's rays to boil medicine. Han Gang explained, "Recently, many people in Xijing have been using it. It is said that it was invented by the children of the rich family or the Wen family. ”

"Wen Xianggong, Fu Xianggong, Wang Xianggong and Chu Shangshu's family are all in use. In old age and frailty, Yang Qi is often not abundant, and boiling medicine with Yang Fire is beneficial to the medicinal effect. ”

"Oh." Wang Anshi nodded as if he didn't understand.

Thousands of years later, even teenage students can't fool the words, but in this era, it is the standard jargon, leaving patients and families unfathomable, and can only judge the seriousness of the problem from the expression on the doctor's face.

Zhao Ji's cerebral blood vessels may be bruised, may be bleeding, Han Gang can't remember which one is a stroke, and doctors in this era can't see the situation of the blood vessels inside the skull.

However, this did not affect Han Gang to make a conclusion about Zhao Ji's condition.

That one should have rested a long time ago.

From his personal point of view, from the point of view of the state, to let the government be controlled in the hands of an emperor who has suffered a stroke and paralyzed is an irresponsible act for himself and the country.

"Saint, saint!" An attendant rushed in, "The ministers are here." ”

"Who dares to stop me!?" Yang Jian's voice did not fall, and he only listened to the angry shouts outside, "Your Majesty is unfortunately ill, how can I wait for Zai Fu to sit outside?" Do you want to isolate China and the rest of the world? ”

"Cai Zhizheng's voice is loud." Wang Anshi said coldly.

Xiang Empress stood up: "Let the ministers come in." ”
