In the early morning after the Longevity Festival, among all the yamen in Xingzhou City of Xia State, the most panicked yamen was Tai Hospital. Just before dawn, they learned that the prince had been assassinated in their own house, and several medical officers with the most skillful medical skills hurriedly rushed to treat him.
But not long after they went out, a more shocking and urgent news came. The emperor in the palace fell to the ground unconscious after hearing the bad news. This made the remaining medical officers not dare to delay at all, and hurriedly rushed to the palace again.
At the same time, because these two news were not sealed, in just a short time, the successive incidents involving the crown prince and emperor had spread to the outside world, making the Xingqing Mansion, which was already panic-stricken due to yesterday's chaos, become even more chaotic. The people even stayed behind closed doors for fear of another big trouble in the city.
At this time, the officials in the court no longer cared about appeasing people. Almost everyone hurried to the palace to inquire about the emperor's condition. Everyone knows what Li Qianshun means to Xia Guo. If he really has any good intentions, then the current good situation may really collapse. As a result, the assassination of the prince was temporarily put aside, and not many people cared about it.
However, not everyone could enter the palace after the emperor fell ill. In the end, only Mo Chihe and the two princes were able to enter, while the other courtiers could only wait outside anxiously and uneasily.
When these three people entered the palace with worried faces, Li Qianshun had already been revived, but he seemed to have suddenly aged ten years, and he could not see his energetic appearance yesterday. It was only then that everyone suddenly realized that the Xia Emperor was actually an old man.
If we put it a thousand years later, a man who has just passed his fifty-seventh birthday will not be called an old man at all. Ordinary people have not even reached retirement age. As for politicians, it is a time when they can make great achievements. But for people thousands of years ago, the situation was completely different. You must know that Su Shi called himself an old man when he was in his thirties and wrote the words "I talk about being a teenager." Li Qianshun, who is nearly 60 years old, is Really old man. It was only because of his too strong relationship in the past that the age issue was ignored by the courtiers, but now due to this illness, it has been completely revealed in front of everyone.
After seeing this, Mo Chihe and the two princes hurriedly kowtowed and greeted: "Emperor, you must take care of your dragon body. Even if something goes wrong in the capital now, it doesn't mean anything..."
The King of Yue also said: "Yes, Father, nothing is more important than your dragon body. You are the god of my Xia Kingdom..." As he spoke, he felt extremely uneasy in his heart. He was on the way here. He already knew why the emperor suddenly fell ill and who was the assassin of the prince. He already had a vague guess in his mind. Except for Sun Qianli, who was tricked into stealing the cipher text by a few words of his own, there was no fear in the city. Can people sneak into the prince's mansion easily
But he really couldn't understand why Sun Qianli would do such a thing as assassinating the prince. Didn't he just ask him to steal the secret texts and other items hidden in the study? Could it be that the prince happened to bump into him after he returned, so he attacked and assassinated him
Of course, the King of Yue no longer cared much about the whole story. He was more concerned about whether Sun Qianli had been captured by the people in the prince's house. If he was really captured,
Have you already confessed yourself? If this is really the case, then your situation will be quite dangerous.
I don't know if it was because of a guilty conscience, but King Yue always felt that his father's eyes looked over at him with deep meaning. However, the emperor did not speak for a long time, and they could not continue to ask questions for a while, so they could only look to the side with nervous expressions. Several medical officers asked, "What's wrong with the emperor?"
"Replying to the secretariat and the two princes, the emperor contracted wind disease due to sudden fright and anger. Although the ministers and others have used medicine and acupuncture in time, the condition cannot be cured for the time being." The Taiyuan Hospital said with some anxiety. The question is, there is a deep sadness on his face. This disease is really serious. Maybe the emperor will be on the bed for many years...
Although the three people present were not skilled in medicine, they were still stunned after hearing this. They prostrated themselves again and exclaimed: "Emperor (father), you must take care of your dragon body..."
Li Qianshun's eyes dimly settled on them. After a long time, he said slowly and somewhat inarticulately: "You have to take care of everything in the capital. You must not let the city get into trouble again. Also, the prince The murderer must be caught when he was stabbed. Even if Xingqing Mansion is turned over, the assassin cannot escape..." These simple words made him talk intermittently for a while, and even saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth. The people around him were shocked, and then they realized how serious the emperor's condition was. Now he was really in trouble!
In fact, the disease Li Qianshun suffered from was what later generations called a stroke, a terrible disease that the elderly are most likely to suddenly suffer from. Often, an old man who was originally very strong will suddenly collapse due to overwork or sudden emotional ups and downs due to blood vessel blockage, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain. In severe cases, he may even suffer from complete or partial paralysis, inability to speak, and other symptoms. .
To a large extent, this disease is only suffered by people with good living conditions, especially those who like to eat meat. The incidence rate is higher. Therefore, it was rare for ordinary people thousands of years ago to suffer from such "diseases of wealth and wealth". Only a king like Li Qianshun, who was extremely noble, and who usually ate more meat such as cattle and sheep, and liked to drink alcohol, would have the root cause of the disease. And suddenly fell ill due to the sudden series of blows.
Because violent mood swings are the real cause of stroke and collapse. And in the short period of time from last night to dawn, Li Qianshun indeed experienced too many emotional fluctuations, which can be said to be ups and downs -
From the joy and satisfaction of being congratulated by the ministers on the Longevity Festival, to the anger of seeing the people outside the palace in chaos with countless casualties, his mood was already unstable. After that, he finally calmed down his anger, but he became angry again because of the memorial. Then came the news that the prince was assassinated and his life or death was unknown, which made him even more furious... After repeated blows, Li Qianshun's original body was No matter how strong he was, he finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell into a coma due to a stroke. If the doctors hadn't arrived in time and rescued him properly, he would have collapsed!
Seeing the emperor like this, Mo Chihe felt miserable. Even though there have been many battles between the emperor and his ministers in the past few years, but when he thought of how the emperor and his ministers got along well with each other and worked together to eradicate the hostile forces in the country one by one, this man The old man also felt a sigh of relief, and at this time he said aloud: "The emperor can rest assured that he will take care of himself in the palace. The old minister will definitely meet
He tried his best to appease the people in Xingzhou City, arrested the murderer of the prince's assassination, and brought to justice all the people behind the scenes! "
After hearing what he said, Li Qianshun's face looked obviously better and he nodded. Then he looked at the King of Yue and King Cao Li Renxiao: "You two... just stay in your mansion and don't go out. Don't give anyone another chance to hurt you..."
This sounded like he was worried that they would follow in the footsteps of the prince, but in fact he meant to put them under house arrest in his own house. Obviously, the emperor's first suspicion about the prince's assassination was these two sons. After all, once something happens to the prince, the biggest beneficiaries will be King Yue and King Cao!
Li Renyou and Li Renxiao looked at each other. After all, they didn't excuse themselves, and both agreed.
Just when a few people were about to leave without disturbing the emperor's recuperation, a medical officer, led by the chamberlain, rushed in with a look of horror on his face: "Emperor, the prince is awake..."
Li Qianshun, who had been unable to say anything else, suddenly sat up when he heard these words, staring at the other party: "Is the prince okay?"
"The prince is temporarily out of danger, and... after the prince woke up, he said that he knew who assassinated him..." After the medical officer said this, he suddenly realized that there were still a few people around him, and then his eyes When he glanced at the King of Yue, his face turned pale!
"Who is it?" This time it was not the emperor, but Mo Xihe who spoke. The King of Yue's face turned pale, and an extremely bad feeling had arisen in his heart.
"Yes..." When the words came to his lips, the medical officer hesitated again. Thinking that this was a great achievement, he hurried to the palace, but he didn't expect that the real master was actually in front of the emperor. What did this make him do? talk
"Say it quickly!" Li Qianshun patted the brocade quilt on his body impatiently, his saliva flowing down again.
"It's a man named Sun Qianli. The prince said he recognized that man's appearance... Also, the prince said that the murderer had personally admitted that he was... ordered by the King of Yue to assassinate him!" Pressed by the emperor, The medical officer no longer dared to hide anything, and immediately told everything he knew like beans from a bamboo tube.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly darkened, and everyone's eyes fell on the King of Yue who turned pale for a while. Only a moment later, he knelt down immediately: "Father, I am wronged! Even if I am driven mad, I would not dare to do such an unethical thing..."
He defended himself with tears in his eyes, but what he got was a deathly silence. No one said anything, and the emperor stared at him. After a while, he murmured: "Okay, it's all right." The royal family has no family ties, I really didn’t expect that you would actually commit such a murderous act..."
On the other hand, Mo Chihe over there was stunned, and his heart suddenly moved. He always felt that something was a little weird. With Sun Qianli's martial arts skills, how could he allow the prince to survive? Moreover, he actually revealed the person behind the scenes before taking action. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that this matter smacked of conspiracy!
But at this time, depending on the situation, he could no longer speak for the King of Yue, and more importantly, if this happened, it would be impossible for the Xia Dynasty to remain in chaos!
