30. Yin Jian is not far away (4)
"But...... The emperor doesn't have an heir yet. Prince Tan said suddenly.
It's getting more and more unorthodox to say, "Boom! Fifth brother. King Gong hurriedly interrupted him, "It's useless to think about it at this time." Ming'er entered the palace early to say goodbye, and saw what he said when he asked for the pulse tonight, and then reasoned. ”
This is obviously an eviction order, Cezanne was going to reprimand Prince Tun, this time it is not easy to say more, just glared at Prince Tun, snorted coldly and brushed away, everyone said goodbye, Prince Gong looked up at the weather outside, the weather was gloomy, obviously about to snow.
I don't know how many people have no sleep all night, Prince Gong just slept for less than two hours, when he got up, he looked in the mirror, only to feel that his eyes were dark, so he washed neatly and prepared to enter the palace, but it was just the right moment, the sky was still dark, but there was a lot of snow on the road, the dead wind lamp was lit, but he didn't feel dim, the scene in the palace was very different, and all the yamen had been given the edict of oral transmission, all of them were dressed in flowers, and the red silk was on the chest side, and the emperor's sleeping Qianqing Palace was covered with scarlet carpets inside and outside. The officials who walked in the inner court had to break the bank, and they had to buy Ruyi to offer, and one was three handles, one for the queen mother of the two palaces and one for the emperor. Everything is done according to the rules of happy events, but this "happy event" is completely different from the big wedding and longevity.
Zeng Guofan, who was on sick leave, also canceled his leave, entered the palace early in the morning, first went to the internal affairs office to see the pulse case, and then went to the military aircraft, only to see Li Deli talking back to King Gong. "The great solution has been solved, I ate duck porridge twice yesterday, and I rested peacefully at night. The sore throat has subsided, and the skin color has gradually become smoother. Li Deli's tone was quite calm, "All kinds of evidence are better than the day before yesterday." ”
Hearing this, everyone sighed. It seems that the weight of my heart has been reduced a lot. Li Hongzao increased the amount with his hand, rejoicing, and Prince Gong asked, "Li Zhuoxuan, you tell the truth." Does it matter if the emperor wants this happy event? ”
"If you go back to the prince, it doesn't matter if the emperor is healthy, after these eighteen days, the pox will come out, and then rest for a hundred days, and then the wife will be peaceful."
Wen Xiang's withered face also showed a satisfied smile, and after a while. The emperor was about to summon the minister of military aircraft, because he knew that the emperor's health was not good, and the ministers in front of the emperor were all counted, in case the emperor had any important orders. There were red dots on his neck and cheeks, and he saw everyone come in and say goodbye. "Get up, all get up."
"My body has not been good these days," the emperor said warmly, "and everything outside will be entrusted to you, Sixth Uncle." ”
"Yes, yes!" Prince Gong replied, "It's almost the end of the year. Horizontal and vertical is also an ordinary errand to do for the New Year, nothing serious, please ask the emperor to raise it with peace of mind. ”
"You can decide the small things yourself, and the big things will be decided, and then you will decide after I see them." Emperor Tongzhi nodded, "In the future, I will stop first, Master Li," Emperor Tongzhi looked at Li Hongzao, "You are waiting on the edge of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and you will replace the excerpts that come up." ”
Everyone was taken aback, but then very calm, this arrangement is specially ordered Li Hongzao to "Gong Dai Fold", meaning how to deal with the folds, still by the emperor in the sickbed, dictate the general idea, by Li Hongzao ghostwriting, but in fact on behalf of the instructions. Of course, this will not come into conflict with the power of the military aircraft, and Li Hongzao has criticized and folded that there are "idioms" that can be used, which are nothing more than "read," "know," "the ministry knows," "the ministry knows," "the ministry is handed over," and "according to the proposal." He will never make a long speech or make his own claims, and he really has great power in his hands.
"Your Majesty," Prince Xuan didn't care about these court affairs, knelt on the ground and said loudly, "You must take care of yourself, what the slave means, don't listen to opera and sing songs these days, and recuperate quietly for a few days, lest these flowers hook the sacred heart!" ”
Zhu Xueqin coughed slightly, and the emperor smiled bitterly, "I know the fifth uncle, so I will listen to you." ”
The emperor asked Zeng Guofan's body, Zeng Guofan's body has not been good since the Holy Birthday Festival, and now he listened to the emperor's greetings here, and kowtowed, "Weichen's body is already well, and the emperor is worried about it." ”
The emperor said a few words, feeling a little tired, "Kneel down." ”
Before he retreated, Chen Shengwen came to report, saying that the Empress Dowager Cixi had arrived, and the ministers had not yet retreated, so they had to wait for the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager entered the West Room and saw that the ministers were kneeling on the ground, "Hurry up," the Empress Dowager Cixi sat down, looked at the pulse case and prescription of the imperial doctor, and asked the emperor how he was today, turned his head to Prince Gong and others and said, "You have also seen the emperor's body, although the illness is not dangerous, but you must also have a good life and cultivation, you are all important ministers in the court, and you don't have to report to the emperor for troubles, What you can dispose of, what you can't dispose of, put it aside first, and then discuss it when the emperor is well, you know? ”
The Emperor smiled, "That's what my son meant. These days, I will approve the folds, and stop the discussion first. ”
Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "That's the best." ”
"The son also called Master Li to approve the folds on his behalf," said the Tongzhi Emperor, "and the son also made less effort." ”
The Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at Emperor Tongzhi and nodded, "I'm tired of Master Li." ”
Li Hongzao hurriedly kowtowed and said that he didn't dare, at this time, everyone was very tacit: he would not say that the meaning of letting the Empress Dowager Cixi hang the curtain would be revealed.
The former minister of the imperial palace and the minister of military aircraft both retreated, Zeng Guofan strode forward, Hu Linyi almost couldn't catch up, "Zeng Gong! Hu Linyi followed behind Zeng Guofan, "Do you say the emperor's body matters?" ”
"It must not matter if the imperial doctor said it so simply," Zeng Guofan said, "Everyone knows that the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital speaks the most tactfully, and he is more watertight than the people who engage in diplomacy in the prime minister's yamen, and now that Li Deli dares to be so simple, the emperor's body must be good." ”
Hu Linyi was a little relieved at this time, "I hope it's just that there is no danger," he raised his head and looked at Zeng Guofan's face, and said in horror, "Zeng Gong, your face is very bad, what's the matter?" ”
"Maybe I'm tired of kneeling and don't get in the way," Zeng Guofan shook his head, "Let's go back to the duty room first, the emperor doesn't care about things, and the military aircraft department will be busy again." ”
Empress Dowager Cixi later looked at the emperor and saw that the emperor drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge under the service of the concubine, and then left and returned to Shoukang Palace. She had just sat down, and before she could take a sip of tea, she called An Dehai in. (To be continued.) )
