Xiao Chengzi, who had a round face, was busy in the pavilion, and quietly raised his eyes to look at the emperor from time to time, the emperor hugged the quilt, his eyes were slightly closed, his expression was even worse, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, and his hair was scattered on the pillow.

There was a faint fragrance in the room, Xiao Chengzi sighed softly in his heart, after autumn, the emperor's spirit was even worse, and he could hardly get out of bed. The crown prince returned to the court, supervised the state council, and shared the emperor's official duties, and the emperor was a little more relaxed.

But Xiao Chengzi was worried, he didn't know what arrangements the emperor had, but after serving the emperor for so many years, he vaguely felt that things here were not so simple.

There was movement in the garden, Xiao Chengzi frowned slightly, and immediately pulled down his face, when is this, these little rabbit cubs have no royal law, and they were about to push the door out, the door opened first, and Gonggong Mu came in.

Xiao Chengzi hurriedly went up to say goodbye, Father-in-law Mu raised his head to stop him, and asked the emperor in a low voice How is the emperor today, Xiao Chengzi shook his head slightly, and Father-in-law Mu asked worriedly: "Have you used the ginseng soup?"

Xiao Chengzi nodded, but then said: "Imperial Doctor Lin said that the ginseng soup is not very useful now, and you can only use the ginseng spirit soup, but godfather, you know, there is not much fire marble left, and if you can't find it, it will be broken." ”

Mu Gonggong looked anxious when he heard this, the fire marble stone, like a real stone, during this time, the internal guards were driven crazy by him, but this fire marble is nowhere to be found, not completely absent, most of the things that can be found are fragmentary, and the grade is not high, which seriously affects the medicinal effect of the ginseng spirit soup.

"Is Xiao Muzi here?"

The emperor's voice came from the room, and Gonggong Mu hurriedly entered: "Your Majesty, the slave is here." As he spoke, he walked to the bed, carefully looked at the emperor's face, and then said with a smile: "The emperor is in good spirits today." ”

The emperor showed a smile, but there was a little sadness in his eyes, Grandpa Mu pretended not to see it, went over to check the medicine bowl, picked it up and sniffed it, the emperor watched him busy on the side, and after a while, Grandpa Mu came over.

"Your Majesty, the autumn clouds are sparse, and I ask for Zhishi. Father-in-law Mu said in a low voice, and the emperor's brows immediately furrowed, and his face was covered with dark clouds.

Father-in-law Mu sighed softly: "He was frightened by these impeachments, and in addition, I am afraid that he also has grievances in his heart." ”

"What about the crown prince?" the emperor asked coldly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned Shang Shutai and the Prime Minister Taishi to discuss, and prepared to refute it. Father-in-law Mu replied in a low voice.

The emperor didn't say anything after hearing this, his eyes turned to the window, looking at the somewhat hazy sky outside the window, Gonggong Mu didn't say anything, just waited quietly, and after a while, the emperor said, "What about the opinion of the king of Qi?"

"The prince means that Qiuyun is high, and there is a reason for sending food, and the prince should comfort and stay. Mu Gonggong said and secretly looked at the emperor's expression, the emperor's eyes were a little cold, and the corners of his mouth showed disdain.

"It's just to win people's hearts!"

Mu Gonggong's heart trembled, the emperor's suspicion of King Qi had reached such a level, he didn't dare to say a word more, so he could only be silent.

"What about the prince?"

However, Zuo Chen believes that Qiu Yun's move is not good for the country, and it is a move to raise tigers, so Qiu Yun should be held responsible, and considering his merits, he can be sent to the township. ”

The emperor was expressionless, and Gonggong Mu looked at it carefully before he continued: "Pei Shu and Pan Lian's opinions are not the same, Pan Lian agrees with King Qi's proposition, Pei Shu thinks that Qiu Yun's move is harmful and beneficial, the two powers are intertwined, and the benefits outweigh the harms, since Qiu Yun has returned to the court, if the court does not agree, he can order the head of Liangzhou to be suspended and send grain, and there is no need to be held responsible; ”

The emperor still didn't speak, but Gonggong Mu had served him for many years, but he felt that there was something more in his lifeless eyes, he waited for a while, and continued: "The prince did not transfer Qiuyun's excerpts to the ministers, and the people below don't know yet, as far as the old slave knows, many ministers are in tandem, ready to continue to impeach Qiuyun." ”

The emperor was still motionless, and Gonggong Mu had no choice but to continue: "King Shangshu of Qin, according to the emperor's will, he has implemented the policy of governing the displaced people in Yongzhou, but many scholars are dissatisfied, thinking that this move will damage the reputation of the scholars, and demand that the shade of the Shu clan be restricted.

The crown prince refuted the Qin king's slur and asked him to mainly let the Shu people come forward to take in the displaced people, and to control the yin of the scholar clan. ”

"This year's tasting is about to begin, a few days ago Zheng Kai Wang Pei Gu Wei as the leader, in Yishui Shenfu held a poetry meeting, Guozi Jian Taixue and the Quartet came to Beijing scholars, a total of three or four hundred people participated, as a result, the biggest limelight was taken away by a businessman from Liangzhou, called Liu Han, his two poems and a Fu are now spread throughout the imperial capital, everyone is vying to copy. "Oh. ”

Father-in-law Mu was a little disappointed, the emperor just blinked his eyes slightly and ignored it, this has to be changed, the emperor must ask what is written, and at this time he can take out the poems hidden in the cuffs and make the emperor smile.

Whether this poem is good or not, he doesn't know, but the emperor definitely likes it, and those ministers who read poetry and books all say that it must be good.

The emperor stared at him, Gonggong Mu sighed softly in his heart, and took out another piece of paper: "These days, King Qi has seen a lot of people, ten days ago, he held a banquet at home to celebrate the birthday of the princess, and the banquet was attended by Qin Kun Zheng Kai, as well as Zhang Jun. ”

This Qin Kun Zhang Jun, one is the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and the other is the commander of the camp outside the city, Gonggong Mu doesn't need to look to know what the emperor's expression is at the moment.

"Draw up the decree," the emperor sighed softly, Gonggong Mu turned around and went out silently, and soon came in with a pen and paper, the emperor closed his eyes, and sighed softly for a long time: "King Yan of Qi, many years of diligence for the country, hard work, I have pity, I decided to remove the prince of Qi from the post of captain, in order to facilitate the recuperation of the body, but the state affairs are complicated, still according to the support of the king of Qi, I specially reward a thousand taels of gold, the governor of Qingzhou, the governor of the holiday, return to the town of the domain, and choose a son, and add the king of Donglai County to show grace." ”

Father-in-law Mu breathed lightly, his eyes couldn't help but be full of tears, after he finished writing, he gently blew down the holy decree, and looked up just to meet the emperor's gaze, he did not shy away from it, and quickly wiped his eyes.

The Emperor sighed softly: "It seems that you don't want to see my brothers kill each other, I hope he can be sympathetic." ”

"Absolutely. Father-in-law Mu choked up and said, "The emperor is merciful." The Empress Dowager will be pleased in the spirit of heaven. ”

The emperor finally dissipated his killing intent at the last moment, and decided to give his only half-brother a chance, of course, this must be the last chance, if the king of Qi does not obey the order, all grace will be canceled, and the sword hanging in the air will still fall.

"Your Majesty, who should be awarded the post of Captain?"

The emperor was silent for a moment before he said, "Let Zhonglang kill Pan Ji." ”

Pan Ji, the younger brother of Taishi Pan Lian, the uncle, the empress's uncle, and a dignitary among his relatives, he controls the military power for the prince, and the prince is naturally worried.

Gonggong Mu hurriedly drafted another holy decree, handed it to the emperor to see, and stamped it with a seal.

Finally, he stood in front of the emperor's bed and asked, "What should Qiuyun do if you start the emperor again?"

The emperor's decree was transmitted to Shangshutai, and the scholars of Shangshutai were all shocked, of course, except for two people, Shangshu ordered Pei Shu and Shangshu to shoot sentences, they knew that there would be today, and the edict of the auxiliary government had not yet been issued, and the courtiers would be even more surprised.

"My lord, this edict is inappropriate! King Qi is in good health, why did he suddenly let him go to the country to become a vassal?"

"King Qi is the emperor's younger brother, how can this be? There must be a traitor who is sowing discord!" The speaker looked at the sentence obliquely, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all knew that the king of Qi looked down on this sentence, and the sentence was also a hundred dissatisfied with the king of Qi.

Pei Shu sat silently, without saying a word, secretly happy in his heart, the king of Qi is a mountain that he cannot overcome, the last time the emperor ordered him to be appointed as a servant of Shangshu, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty acquiesced to the emperor's actions, only the king of Qi wrote against it, he hated it in his heart, he wanted to write a book early to let the king of Qi become a vassal, but he went to ask a friend and changed his mind, this friend told him that the king of Qi was destined to be a vassal.

"If you write to the king of Qi to become a vassal, if there is any accident in the future, the emperor will definitely hate you, and at that time, your disaster will not be far away, so it is better not to move. ”

Now his close friend's words have really come true, which makes him admire it in his heart.

Ju Yi tried to suppress the excitement in his heart, pretending to give instructions, but his eyes secretly looked at the young man by the window.

Said to be a young man, in fact, he is not young, he looks like he is in his thirties, this young man sits by the window, his body is neatly groomed, clean, with a small crown on his head, his face is like a crown of jade, his eyebrows are heavy, he is wearing a bright yellow robe, he sits there steadily, naturally with majesty, people dare not look up.

This is the crown prince, the son of Emperor Taiding, the twenty-eight-year-old prince Yan Qian.

Yan Qianben was inspecting in Chen State, and received an urgent edict from the palace before the investigation was completed, he immediately flew back to Beijing, and took over Shangshutai after arriving in Beijing.

For this reason, King Qi was very angry and quarreled with him in Shangshutai, but Pei Shu and Ju Yi both supported him, and King Qi was lonely and difficult to speak, and this edict was finally passed, but after Qiuyun's self-defense was handed over, how to deal with Qiuyun still made him embarrassed.

Shang Shutai's opinions were different, and the king of Qi and others believed that the advantages of Qiuyun's strategy outweighed the disadvantages, and they should be retained, and at the same time, they should be sealed to a high position to comfort the loyal ministers, but Zuo Chen was against it, and more importantly, Pengzhu, who he relied on as his right-hand man, was also against it.

Peng Zhu believed that he should take the opportunity to take down Qiuyun, and at the same time take advantage of the situation to rectify the Zhongshan Gate Valve, clean up the shade households and land, and limit the Gate Valve from occupying more land to fill the treasury.

But Zuo Chen opposed this policy, Zuo Chen thought that Qiu Yun's crime could be big or small, and since ancient times, there were eight discussions, Qiu Yun had a great contribution to the country, and in the eight discussions, he could be exempted from his guilt and make him return to his hometown to think about it.

The two major advisers had different opinions, which made the prince a little embarrassed, but the prince Pan Lian reminded him that the emperor had probably arranged for Qiuyun a long time ago, and it involved personnel, and he should not be rashly dealt with as the emperor.

So, the prince will impeach Qiuyun and Qiuyun's self-defense, all of which were transferred to Yawenge, but I didn't expect Qiuyun to play again yesterday, proposing to return to his hometown, this sparse shook Shangshutai, Shangshutai also had huge differences of opinion, but before they could sort it out, the emperor immediately lowered the hammer of thunder!
