Chapter 1167: Entering the Cabinet
If you really take his pills, it can only last for another half a year at most. A year later, without an antidote, the emperor will definitely die. And this poison has already dragged down the emperor's body, and even if there is an antidote, the emperor will not be effective.
Gu Chengyu took out a small jade bottle from his sleeve, "There are only two left, this medicine can only delay the spread of poison in the emperor's body, but the effect is not great, it can only be more than half a year at most." ”
He handed the medicine to the envoy of the Zhang Academy, "I bother the envoy of the Zhang Yuan to distinguish it carefully, and ask someone to try the medicine!" ”
Zhang Yuanenvoy was a little excited, he hurriedly took the medicine bottle and uncorked it. As soon as the cork was pulled out, he smelled a faint medicinal fragrance. Just by hearing this, he felt refreshed and refreshed.
"You don't have to test the medicine, let's give it to the emperor quickly!" The Queen Mother suddenly said loudly.
Zhang Yuanenvoy was a little hesitant, although he didn't see anything wrong with this medicine, it didn't mean that this medicine was fine. Just a few glances, it is impossible to tell whether this medicine is poisonous or not. If something happens to the emperor taking this medicine, won't he also be implicated?
"Is there anything worse than this? There are only two pills in this pill, and there will be one less pill in the test medicine, so let's keep it for the emperor to take! ”
The Queen Mother felt that Gu Chengyu didn't need to do this, anyway, the emperor didn't have much life, and Gu Chengyu couldn't do it again, so this worry was superfluous.
"Yes!" Zhang Yuan's envoy stepped forward to open the emperor's mouth and stuffed one of them into the emperor's mouth.
"After taking this medicine, the emperor will be able to wake up in half an hour." Gu Chengyu was confident in this medicine, this was a low-grade elixir in the space.
It's a pity that the lower level is the lower level after all, and it is not omnipotent. What's more, someone like the emperor who has been poisoned into the bone marrow and invaded the internal organs can only delay for a while!
"Does this pill work for blindness?" The Queen Mother suddenly remembered the eldest grandson who was blind, there was still one left here, if she could cure Brother Ye'er's blindness, she could only choose to cure Brother Ye.
After all, this pill can only last half a year's life, but it may be a kind of hope for blind children.
"The eldest prince's blindness is caused by blood congestion in his brain, and this medicine may be useful, but Wechen can't be sure. And the eldest prince is too young, the medicinal properties of this medicine are very violent, and Weichen is afraid that the eldest prince will not be able to stand it. Therefore, Weichen suggested that you divide this medicine into multiple parts and gradually give it to the eldest prince. In a silent way, the blood in the eldest prince's mind slowly dissolved. ”
"Of course! Wechen does not guarantee its efficacy, this drug is only obtained by Wechen by chance. I believe that the Queen Mother has also heard that the medicinal materials for refining this medicine are very rare, and even if there is a pill, it may not be possible to find the medicinal materials it needs. These two are really rare. It's just that if this medicine is taken by the eldest prince, the emperor will have one less. ”
It was impossible for Gu Chengyu to take out all the pills in the space, otherwise he would cause trouble for himself.
"Ahem! Cough! Give it, give it to Brother Ye! The emperor slowly opened his eyes, and as soon as he heard this, he made a choice without hesitation.
His broken body was already barely breathing. Even if you extend your life for an extra year and a half, so what? If Brother Ye can't be healed, then the dynasty will really have no successor. He can naturally tell which is more important and which is more important.
"Son!" The queen mother threw herself in front of the emperor's couch and sobbed, did she really want the white-haired person to send the black-haired person?
"The emperor's mood should not be too excited, let alone work, please take care of the dragon's body!" Gu Chengyu took a few steps back and made a big salute.
The emperor looked sideways at Gu Chengyu, "I know that I can't work too hard, but everything in the court and China has to be decided by me, how can I be idle?" ”
He closed his eyes slightly, sighed deeply, and said after a while: "Gu Aiqing!" ”
"The minister is here!"
"I have made you a scholar of the East Court University and joined the cabinet for deliberations. In the next few days, I will recuperate my body and no longer worry about state affairs. Now that the cabinet has no leader, and the dragons have no leader, I will leave the cabinet to you for a few days. ”
"Thank you, Lord Ron!" Gu Chengyu knelt and kowtowed, and he finally entered the cabinet.
"Queen Mother, the cabinet is guarded by Gu Aiqing, and I am very relieved. But he is only a courtier after all, and I want to ask Gu Aiqing to assist the queen mother and sort out state affairs. ”
The emperor turned his gaze to the queen mother in front of the bed, although the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but now it is a special situation, and he has no choice.
In fact, he was naturally relieved to hand over the fold to Gu Chengyu for review, and he believed that Gu Chengyu could handle state affairs for him. But Gu Chengyu is just a courtier after all, if he is allowed to deal with the twists and turns, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public.
"Emperor, mourning the family and interfering in politics, the court will inevitably be dissatisfied." The Queen Mother was stunned, she didn't expect her to really let her meddle in state affairs.
"It doesn't matter! What do you do about these people? What else can they do but shout and use rituals to suppress me? Rest assured, the queen mother is here! The emperor patted the queen mother's hands and comforted softly.
"Pang Chu, pass on the officials of the Hanlin Academy to draft the decree! This matter was announced to the outside world that I was unwell and would have to recuperate for a few days, and the state affairs would be represented by the queen mother and Gu Aiqing for the time being. ”
"Yes!"
The next day, all the ministers waited for the emperor in the cold wind.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today the emperor announced that he will not go to the early dynasty!" Pang Chu looked at the time and saw that everyone was almost there, so he stepped forward and announced.
Don't go to court? Everyone looked at each other, and the emperor did not declare it before.
"But the emperor has a decree to announce!" Pang Chu could already predict that as soon as this holy decree was announced, the Taihe Hall would inevitably explode.
Gu Chengyu lowered his eyes, he was ready, the first thing these people would bombard was definitely him.
"What? The emperor actually asked Gu Siqing and the Queen Mother to act as agents for state affairs? It's ridiculous! Compared with this major news, everyone ignored Gu Chengyu's entry into the cabinet.
"Yes! How can a harem be able to do politics? What's more, Gu Siqing is only a positive third product, and he has just been promoted to the cabinet, how can he exercise the power of the first assistant of the cabinet? This official thinks it is extremely inappropriate. ”
Everyone was indignant, every word you said to me, they all stared at Gu Chengyu as if they were going to eat him. Why can Gu Chengyu, a person who has only stepped into officialdom for two years, be able to act as the first assistant?
These seniors are older than him, and their rank is higher than his, and they still obey this person's orders?
The authority of the cabinet is too great, and their twists and turns have to go through the cabinet. If Prime Minister Gu Chengyu is allowed to do the affairs of the cabinet, where will they have room to speak in the future?
Now that the DPRK and China are gone, Xia Qing and Shen Shikang, who are holding Gu Chengyu back, who else can stop Gu Chengyu? In the future, this court has simply become Gu Chengyu's hall.
"Gu Siqing, this official asked you, do you think you can do it?" Deng Chenghong, the imperial history of the left capital, frowned and looked at Gu Chengyu, he just saw Gu Chengyu actually looking at his nose and nose, and his nose was looking at his heart, and he turned a deaf ear to their such angry attitude. It was like an old monk who was calm, calm and relaxed, which couldn't help but make him a little annoyed.
