Chapter 38: How to Divide the Weight with the King (25)

[Finally caught up, this is today's first update.] 】

When Cai did come, his performance was wonderful, and he successfully stayed. Stay in the palace with Zeng Bu and Han Gang.

In case the Son of Heaven drives this night, the crown prince Zhao will inherit the unification, and the Zaifu who stays in the imperial city will always be more advantageous. If there's an unexpected twist or turn, that's even better. As long as you stand up at the right time, you can get a decision in your hands. This is not a credit that any prime minister can get.

Just last year, Han Gang relied on this honor to thoroughly determine the prosperity of the Han family in the next fifty years. Maybe there will be a queen, or a princess - naturally, this will be decades away.

However, now that the Son of Heaven's illness seems to have calmed down, it is not a real critical juncture, so the duty on the first night did not fight too hard.

Two in the east and one in the west.

At this time, no one mentioned the resignations of Wang Anshi and Han Gang.

After dinner, the three Zaifu sat down to drink the cold soup to relieve the heat, and Cai asked Han Gang: "Yukun, as far as you see, what is the situation of the Son of Heaven." ”

Fang Cai Zaifu rushed over, and the news that Zhao Ji's condition had worsened again was reported to everyone. No one cares about the progress of medicine through human anatomy, and the Zaisuke only care about the conclusions. Cai was the most concerned and asked again and again.

"I can't say." Han Gang said, "At this point, it completely depends on the will of God." ”

The questions asked were all similar, and the answers that Han Gang could give were similar.

"Can't recover?"

"A stroke is an injury to the head. Internal injuries to the blood. At critical points, it is difficult to recover from the injury. You can only raise it slowly. ”

Cai Qu nodded and sighed.

Han Gang's identity is special, in addition to Zaifu, there is also an aura of a medical sage. Even if he didn't believe in the fallacies of the disciples of the Medicine King, Han Gang's achievements in the medical Tao were far beyond the reach of Hua Tuo and Bian Que. Since Han Gang has determined Zhao Ji's illness, the world's opinion is basically confirmed. Even if there are still people who question it, it will not be mainstream.

"The situation of the Queen Mother does not seem to be very good." Zeng Bu suddenly said, "Does Yukun know? ”

Han Gang has been away for half a year, and everything in the capital cannot be known. But the Queen Mother's recent situation, it is impossible for him not to know the way.

But he still shook his head, "Han Gang has been out for a long time, but he really doesn't know." ”

"After the Queen Mother started spring, the situation was not very good. But I just don't want the imperial doctor of the Taiyi Bureau, and every time I send it, I will be kicked out. ”

Han Gang's voice was a little colder, "The cause of the Queen Mother is in my heart. The Imperial Doctor is indeed useless. ”

The Taiyi Bureau is not his disciples, so why should he be angry with them.

"That's right." Zeng Bu nodded, and said: "The last time the Son of Heaven was sick, it was hot and cold, and it was stimulated. What the hell is going on this time? ”

What kind of stimulation the official family received at the banquet, many people will speculate. But what does Zeng Bu mean by asking? Reminders?

"The Son of Heaven is overworked. It was supposed to be a retreat. ”

Zhao Ji's desire for power can't be stopped even if he is seriously ill, which courtier doesn't know what to do, Zhao Ji has to listen to people read the newspaper every day, and after the queen's instructions, he has to review it. It's just that no one dares to persuade him, for fear that Zhao Ji will become a scapegoat if he gets angry and something happens.

"Zhenzong, Renzong, and Yingzong are all similar diseases. This kind of disease seems to be more common in heaven. Han Gang continued.

"Actually, I've heard about it too. The richer and richer the family, the more similar symptoms there are. Zeng preached, "The Taizong line in the clan is even more serious. ”

"It's because of the palace." Cai did look at the mottled temple beams above his head, the palace in the palace should have been repaired a long time ago, but it has not been repaired.

Not to mention anything else, today's emperors can indeed set an example for emperors in the past in terms of temperance and desire. In the more than ten years since he ascended the throne, he has also built Cishou Palace and Baoci Palace. There are no superfluous luxury hobbies, and one mind is to target Tang Taizong, but it's a pity that the sky is not a holiday.

The rumors of bad feng shui and too heavy yin qi in the palace have not been a day or two, not to mention anything else, in the past sixty years, only one prince born in the palace has remained. It is the current prince Zhao maid. Both inside and outside the palace believe that there is a yin in the palace.

And Zhao Maid is only six years old, and he has more than ten years to become an adult. I don't know, but one day I will answer the fate again. There are not just two people who are worried about this.

"I don't know how useful the Tianhuo stove that Imperial Doctor Lei said just now?" Cai asked quelled.

"Do your best, look at the destiny of heaven." Hangang Road.

When the Son of Heaven is seriously ill, those who donate medicine, donate prescriptions, and pray for the Son of Heaven, many people in the capital are trying to please him.

"Give the Son of Heaven medicine for a few days and see if the situation will improve." Han Gang continued.

Originally, after Lei Jian said it, Empress Xiang was going to send someone to Luoyang to ask for a heavenly fire stove. However, after entering, Zhang Mao came over and said that there was already one in the library. It was Wen Jifu of Luoyang who dedicated one after the invention of it. It's just that no one paid attention to it at the time and threw it into the inner storehouse.

"It's not just about the destiny of heaven, it's about the sky. I have also heard about the heavenly stove, and if the weather is bad, it can't be used. There has to be a big sun. ”

"Indeed." Cai said, "It can only be used during the day, and it has to be sunny, and it can't be placed indoors." In autumn and winter, the weather is cold and windy, and I don't know how long it will take to boil a bowl of medicine. ”

"There are still a lot of people available. Not to mention Luoyang, there are a lot of them in the capital. ”

After hearing Zhang Dian mention the Heavenly Fire Stove the day before yesterday, Han Gang paid a little attention to it. I found that he was indeed a little lonely outside, and the inventions of the upper echelons of the capital about health preservation have always attracted much attention, and as soon as the Tianhuo stove came out in Luoyang, some people in the capital began to use it.

"It's just that once the heavenly stove is used in the palace, I'm afraid that some people will think of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

Han Gang laughed: "As soon as Han Wu repaired Bailiang and then built a chapter, it cost countless money, and here is just a stove, which is too far away." ”

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, some people offered longevity, saying that they could gain immortality by drinking it with dew and jade shavings all year round.

Emperor Wu of Han believed him. The construction of Bailiang Terrace began. On the stage, the dew plate is repaired, twenty zhang high, seven large circumferences, and copper is used for it. There is a fairy statue at the top of the copper pillar, and the tray condenses dew. Not long after, the thunder fire burned the Bailiang Palace, and the Chenglu plate was burned together. At that time, people said that this was a crime from heaven, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ignored it at all, and built a larger Jianzhang Palace and rebuilt a Chenglu plate of the same size.

The heavenly fire stove and the dew plate, one is fire and the other is water, they look different, but the nature is similar, and people can't associate it.

"Yukun, don't say it, when the time comes, most of the people will go to the book to repair the Heavenly Fire Platform."

"It's not dew, but when you take it, you can put it in a bottle. Drink the medicine while it's hot. Make a platform dozens of feet high to boil the medicine, and the medicine will be cold when it is served. ”

During the vigil, they chatted casually, and the three of them were not ready to sleep, so they might have something to do tonight.

As expected, before the third watch, things came.

"Cai Xianggong, Zeng participated in politics, and Han Shumi." Yang Jian ran over shortly after the second watch, panting, "The queen asks the three ministers to hurry up." ”

The three of them who were chatting suddenly got up and glanced at each other. I saw Cai really asking, "What's wrong?" ”

"The official family has woken up."

The three of them hurriedly arrived at the Funing Palace. When I entered the inner compartment, I saw that the lights were brightly lit inside, and a group of people were huddled inside, half of them were gathered around the couch, and half were standing by the wall. The queen was sitting at the table with her head bowed and the bed on her back. Covering his face with a silk scarf, he looked like he was crying.

Could this be the case?! Han Gang was shocked, wouldn't it be so fast?

"Your Highness's forgiveness!"

Cai Qu said loudly, and walked quickly to the royal couch. Zeng Bu also followed. Han Gang glanced at the room twice and walked to the bed.

Zhao Ji is fine, he has indeed woken up. The eyes can blink, and the fingers can move.

"What's going on?" Cai asked curiously.

Zeng Bu and Han Gang were also confused, could it be that the queen and the emperor quarreled?

Song Yongchen carefully pointed to the sand table next to the bed, and then quickly withdrew his hand.

The three of them immediately looked over. The sand table is not large, and the range of movement of Zhao Ji's fingers is relatively small. It's all about writing a word or two, smoothing it out, and then writing it again. Therefore, following the Son of Heaven, there are also people who specialize in recording every word written by the Son of Heaven.

On the paper on the sand table, there are a lot of neat words, but the three words behind the most are "Queen harms ......"

On the sand table, the traces of finger movements on it are clearly recognizable, and it is a slightly distorted 'me'.

The queen hurt me!

Cai Qu and Zeng Bu looked at each other.

At first glance, this is the emperor's accusation. And this time the onset of illness is the result of the queen's manipulation.

But who will believe? There is no need for the empress to harm the emperor at all, there is no benefit at all. And her temperament, the courtiers also know very well that she is not the type of Empress Wu.

It's no wonder that the queen will sit in the corner and cry, she has done enough to help Zhao Ji pick up the missing and make up for the shortcomings, but she can't imagine that she has worked hard day and night, and she has been thinking about it all her heart, but in the end, she fell into such suspicion and slander.

"Renzong ......" Zeng Bu said softly, "Renzong also had it in his later years. ”

Zeng Bu didn't elaborate, but Cai Qu and Han Gang both understood what he was going to say.

Renzong suffered from heart disease in his later years, and once ran outside to shout that the queen and Zhang Mao were plotting rebellion, and then the prime ministers dragged him into the palace in a panic. It's too embarrassing...... The Zhengdan envoy of the Liao State was sitting outside.

Zhao's situation now seems to be more or less the same.

Han Gang shook his head, he didn't say a word before he came to a conclusion.

It's not that they want to flatter the queen, intellectually the two Zaisuke can't follow the orders of the paralyzed patient

"I lost my temper and made the ministers laugh."

A moment later, Empress Xiang and the three Zaifu sat down in the outer hall. Although the queen had redressed, she still spoke in a nasal voice.

"Your Highness." Cai Qu said, "His Majesty's illness has become more serious, and some things have to be planned in advance."

After waking up, the Son of Heaven can still use his fingers and blink his eyes, and there is no difference from before. In fact, it was just a little dizziness, but after being treated as another stroke, all the ministers looked at Zhao Ji with restrained and sad eyes.

The Emperor is actually dead.

The prime minister, the privy councillor, began to treat him like a dead man. So can this emperor still be considered alive?
