Zhou Man spoke too fast, and when arguing in the hall, basically whoever spoke faster and more rationally would be more reasonable.
For a long time, he didn't say a word.
But at this time, he almost forgot what he was going to say, and he felt dizzy. Wang Ji didn't come up in one breath, and he was about to fall down in front of his eyes, but Man Bao and Xiao Yuanzheng, who were already prepared, stepped forward immediately. Hold him up.
Only then did Man Bao support him, and he took out the silver needle that he had prepared earlier in the morning, and inserted it directly into the other person.
The officials were a little surprised, and subconsciously wanted to call out "Prince Physician", but before they could say anything, they remembered that there were two imperial physicians in the hall, so they swallowed the words again.
But seeing Zhou Man sticking such a long needle in, all the officials couldn't help shaking, and they all took a step back in fear.
Man Bao quickly pricked him with a few needles, and picked his fingertip with the needle, releasing a few drops of black blood.
Wang Ji woke up faintly, Man Bao sighed and said, "Master Wang, you have eaten too much meat, and your qi and blood have stagnated. From now on, you should eat less meat, use less energy, and be less angry."
The emperor stood up in shock when he saw Wang Ji woke up and seemed to be fine, so he secretly heaved a sigh of relief and sat back on the dragon chair.
If his ministers really happened in court, he could hardly absolve himself of the blame.
The prince also sat back in his seat, sat upright, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
When Wang Ji opened his eyes and saw that Zhou Man was about to faint again, Xiao Yuanzheng pinched his jaw and said coldly, "Master Wang, you won't faint."
All officials: ...
The emperor couldn't help but coughed lightly, and finally spoke, "Okay, since Mr. Wang is not feeling well, let's go home and rest first. Come and send Mr. Wang back."
Hearing this, Wang Ji's face turned gray, and he dropped Xiao Yuanzheng's hand and was about to stand up, but was held down by Man Bao, "Wait a minute, I'll pull out the needle, or it will move in a while."
Man Bao pulled out the five needles on his body, and he didn't need to push them, just stepped aside.
Wang Ji staggered a little, but he still knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
The emperor said: "Aiqing, what other excuses do you have?"
The word "justify" shows the emperor's attitude.
Wang Ji was not stupid, although he was a little dizzy at this time, he could hear it, thought for a while, kowtowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have been an official for eighteen years, and I have not made any merit, but I have worked hard. Does your majesty really think that this minister is Zhou? Is that the kind of person Man said?"
This is a mourning strategy, but it works well for the emperor.
When Xiao Yuanzheng heard this, he sighed slightly. Wang Ji knew the emperor, and Xiao Yuanzheng, who often treated the emperor, naturally also understood the emperor.
The emperor is the kind of person who you can't help pity if you are strong and he is stronger, but you are weak.
Sure enough, the previously ruthless emperor sighed and said, "Aiqing is not feeling well, go back and rest first."
Wang Ji wept, looking very pitiful, Guo Zhanshi frowned and couldn't help but want to speak, but he caught sight of the crown prince shaking his head slightly at him, so he held it down and shook his head slightly at his own people.
So everyone didn't make any more noise, and Wang Ji didn't speak any more. After wiping away his tears, he let the guards help him out.
Xiao Yuan was frowning tightly, and just when he felt that he had lost money this time, Man Bao had already turned around and knelt down, bowed openly and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I don't know how to restrain myself, and I'm so angry with you, Mr. Wang. "
When the emperor heard this, he asked with a smile, "If you had known earlier, would you have restrained yourself?"
Man Bao thought about it seriously and said: "The minister will still say those words, but the minister should be more tactful."
She sighed like an adult: "Although it's a pity, but this is the imperial court, and everything should be based on the interests of the people, the country, and His Majesty. I feel sorry for the king, but I don't regret it."
As soon as the emperor heard it, he sighed to the civil and military officials of the Manchu court below: "The truth that a fourteen-year-old child knows, but Zhu Qing has forgotten."
As soon as these words came out, whether it was the crown prince, Wei Zhi and others who were still sitting, or a few courtiers who stood out, they all knelt down and admitted their mistakes, "Your servants are ashamed."
The emperor waved his hand, and his soft heart hardened again at this time, and he directly ordered: "The record of Zhou Man's impeachment will be investigated by the Yushitai and the official department, and if there is nothing to do, we will encourage it. If there is such a thing, I will not tolerate it." Fly on the side."
Kneeling Liang Fei and the others had cold sweat on their foreheads, they were very anxious, but they didn't dare to defend themselves at this moment.
The emperor got up, flung his sleeves and left, Gu Zhong immediately shouted loudly: "Back-towards-"
When Man Bao heard this, he wanted to stand up, but was grabbed by Xiao Yuanzheng, and he knelt obediently on the ground.
Gu Zhong lowered his eyes and glanced at Zhou Man who was about to fall, pretending that he couldn't see him, turned around and chased after the emperor after shouting.
It wasn't until the person kneeling in front of them got up that Xiao Yuanzheng let go of her sleeve and let her stand up.
Man Bao touched her forehead and found that she was sweating even on such a cold day.
She bent down and picked up the materials on the ground, seeing Xiao Yuan standing there unwilling to move, she wondered: "Let me hold all of them?"
Xiao Yuanzheng glanced at her, and said in a low voice: "Stop talking, my hands and feet are a little weak now, and I don't want to talk."
Man Bao: ... She was the one who quarreled, why did he have to be soft-handed
She could only stand obediently, and by the way respectfully allow those with higher official positions than her, or those who are older than her to leave the palace first, well, in this way, it seems that she will stay until the end.
Man Bao held the booklet in his arms and sighed.
Old Master Tang came over, looked her up and down and smiled, "It's a pity that you are a woman, otherwise you would be more suitable for Yushitai than an old man like me."
Wei Zhi also came over, he was more generous, he reached out and patted Man Bao on the shoulder, although he didn't speak, his eyes showed appreciation and his attitude was very clear.
The ministers had already left the palace, no matter what they thought, they at least nodded to Zhou Man when they passed by her.
Most of the petty officials just turned around and left the hall after looking back. There was no other way, Zhou Man and the others knelt in front of her, and they couldn't even pass by her.
Yang Heshu and Tang He wanted to go forward, but seeing the prince still sitting in front of them, they thought for a while and nodded with Zhou Man who was looking over, then turned and left.
When the people were almost gone, the prince got up and left the hall. When he walked past the two of them, he raised his chin slightly and said to Mr. Wu who had caught up: "Help Xiao Yuanzheng hold the things."
Eunuch Wu hurried to hug the materials on the ground.
Xiao Yuan was smiling wryly, raised his hand and said: "Let Your Highness see the joke."
The prince smiled and said: "Two-thirds of the booklet is alone, what kind of joke is it?"
After that, he lifted his foot and left.
Man Bao looked at Xiao Yuanzheng with concern, Xiao Yuanzheng gave her a warning glance, and then walked out together with her, but he walked a little slowly.
But the crown prince walked very quickly, and Eunuch Wu couldn't help feeling a little anxious, neither did he follow the crown prince, nor did he follow Xiao Yuanzheng.
Man Bao gave Eunuch Wu a wink, Eunuch Wu heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly chased after the prince with his things in his arms, Man Bao and Xiao Yuanzheng fell behind.
