The cries of women and children sounded in the side hall.
Such a big event happened in the palace, and the concubines naturally couldn't hide it from the movement of soldiers, horses and guards.
The queen rushed over with the concubines, and was frightened and fainted on the spot.
However, the queen mother never arrived. Several courtiers noticed something different and rushed over with the guards, and found that the queen mother was locked up by several eunuchs. When they rushed in and took down the eunuch, the queen mother was frightened and unconscious. .
The palace was even more chaotic.
But the most important place is still the emperor's side.
The concubines were crying to death, and the courtiers persuaded them not to interfere with the imperial doctor's treatment, so they restrained a little.
The sound of footsteps was chaotic, accompanied by the sound of flipping books, which made the originally dull room even more suffocating.
"it's here."
Suddenly a voice sounded.
Hearing this, the courtiers standing aside with different expressions rushed over immediately.
An imperial physician was holding an old booklet.
"Look, the symptoms of the first prince's illness were recorded at the beginning." He said happily.
Finally found it, but there is no joy in this matter, the imperial doctor hurriedly suppressed his expression in fright.
The officials were not in the mood to pay attention to his expression, Ning Yan took the booklet, and the others gathered around to read it seriously.
The first prince was diagnosed as being in poor health and unable to survive after he was born. From that moment on, the medical cases about him have not stopped.
It's just that King Qi enthroned and sealed it up, and the imperial physicians who were in charge of the prince also resigned because of the prince's death, and it was difficult to find out the preserved medical records.
Sure enough, it recorded the symptoms of the first prince's illness when he was a child.
While watching, everyone couldn't help but look at the emperor lying on the inner bed for comparison.
"It's also here." Another imperial doctor hurried over with a book in his hand, "This is the record of the former prince's illness by the divine doctor Zhang."
Immediately, courtiers rushed to pick it up, and everyone immediately surrounded him.
"The name Tianbi was proposed by Doctor Zhang back then." The courtier nodded and said while looking at it, with a bit of regret, "Say, there is no solution."
The imperial physicians surrounding the bed who were treating the emperor also walked over with uneasy expressions.
"Your Majesty is conscious, and there is no other injury on his body except Lord Ning's pinch, it's just numbness." The leading physician said.
These words made everyone look at Ning Yunzhao.
This pinch is still weird...
According to the long-standing records, when the prince's paralysis attack occurs, he will be stiff and unable to breathe, so how can he choke his neck at this time, isn't it even more terrible
"Hey, there is a record here." An official suddenly shouted, pointing to the booklet in his hand, "Master Zhang said that if the prince's paralysis occurs, he can hold his breath by choking his throat..."
Did you really say that
What's the point
Everyone followed the official's instructions, and the doctor Zhang's words recorded in it were babbling, but the main idea was to fight poison with poison.
so...
There are so many strange and weird ways to treat diseases, and there is no way to judge whether it is right or wrong.
So this is really a disease
The expressions of the courtiers were more complicated.
"Your Majesty also..." Someone said, "Why didn't you find any signs before?"
"Some diseases are indeed hidden diseases." Some people nodded and said, "It's not obvious on the surface."
"That's right, Your Majesty and the former crown prince are brothers...they have the same blood..." Some people said, and they were surprised when they said this, "ah, then check it out for the princes and lords, so that they don't..."
As soon as this statement came out, the concubines who were crying quietly were shocked, especially the concubines who had children, shouted immediately, urging the imperial physician to treat their children.
The hall was in chaos again.
But the atmosphere is not as anxious and dignified as before.
This is because it is determined that it is not a palace change, but a disease.
But now is not the time to discuss whether other princes and princes have this disease hidden.
Several courtiers solemnly comforted the concubine for a moment, and asked the concubines to agree to examine the prince and princess later.
The officials looked at the bed again, and after a while of silence, it was unknown who was the first to cry.
"His Majesty!"
Immediately all the officials knelt beside the emperor's bed, looking sad.
"Now is not the time to be sad." Ning Yan said in a deep voice.
The crying officials immediately put away their tears and looked at the emperor on the bed with complicated expressions.
Yeah, there's so much to do right now.
"Miss Jun." Ning Yan looked at Miss Jun.
Since entering the side hall, Miss Jun has been standing quietly in the corner.
Hearing Ning Yan's voice, she looked over.
"Miss Jun is very skilled in medicine. Since His Majesty was able to save his life when he fell ill, can he be cured?" Ning Yan said.
That's right, the queens, concubines and other officials also looked over.
Even if it is not cured, even if it is paralyzed, as long as it can speak.
Miss Jun looked at the bed.
"I am highly skilled in medicine, and I specialize in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases." She said, slowly shaking her head, "But this is Tianbi."
"Tianbi is also a disease." An official said anxiously.
Miss Jun looked at him again.
"Tianbi is a disease, but it is a disease destined by God." She said.
What kind of disease
"So what?" another official frowned.
"That's the way of heaven. If the sky wants this person to be like this, how can a person change?" Miss Jun said.
Several court officials looked at the brochures they were still holding in their hands.
"Look, Zhang Miracle Doctor also said that the way of heaven is hard." An official said in a low voice.
What a disaster.
To put it bluntly, it cannot be cured.
I was also afraid of ruining my reputation as a genius doctor, so I said some goddamn things.
The officials were somewhat disdainful, while the concubines lost their last hope and cried again.
"The illness came like a mountain. Since His Majesty saved his life, he might be able to get better. The imperial physicians are considering prescriptions to treat His Majesty." Ning Yan said, no longer asking Miss Jun, looking at the other courtiers, with a more serious expression, "Then The next court affairs..."
It's finally here.
The expressions of the officials present also became serious, and the concubines also pricked up their ears, especially the concubines who had a prince.
No matter how chaotic it was before, the emperor always lay quietly on the bed, coughing occasionally, although it showed that he was awake, but everyone tried many times and gave up communicating.
If you can't speak, you can't move your body, even if you are conscious, you can't express yourself clearly, this person is completely useless.
Such a person can no longer be a king.
A country cannot live without a king, especially at this time.
So, which prince is in charge
Then as usual, the eldest son...
"About the Crown Prince."
Ning Yunzhao's voice, which had been silent for a long time since entering this room, sounded again.
"Your Majesty has already made arrangements."
This made everyone look over.
Ning Yunzhao unfolded the edict in front of him.
"Your Majesty has decided to make King Huai the Crown Prince." He said solemnly.
King Huai!
There was an uproar in the hall.
The concubines screamed, and the queen even stood up.
"Why, why didn't you set up my son?" She tremblingly said, all the local accents came out in a hurry.
Yes, why not the son of Emperor Li, but King Huai
Because Miss Jun asked His Majesty to make King Huai the crown prince
This is too coincidental, right
Coincidentally, it doesn't make sense.
There must be a reason.
All eyes turned to Ning Yunzhao.
"I don't know why Your Majesty did this." Ning Yunzhao did not answer, but shook his head calmly, "If you want to ask, you can only ask Your Majesty."
The people in the hall were absolutely defeated.
The queen was even more angry.
Your Majesty is like this now, what else can you ask!
What's more, she believes that it is absolutely impossible for His Majesty to issue such an edict!
There is no one in the world who does not love his children, but wants to pass on his family business to others. This is a truth that all the old folks in the country know.
"You, your edict is fake..." She couldn't help but screamed.
Before the words fell, Ning Yunzhao, who was originally calm, suddenly changed his expression, and he also took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that the minister pretended to pass on the imperial decree? I have inherited the sage's learning since I was a child, respecting the heaven, the earth, the emperor, my parents and teachers, and I have also entered the Tianzi's sect. I know the laws of the country and the family rules. If it was not for your majesty's order, how could I say such a thing?" He shouted sharply, "How can I do something that violates the way of a saint and the etiquette of a monarch and minister!"
As he spoke, he raised the edict with one hand and pointed to the sky with the other. His voice echoed in the hall, making everyone's ears buzzing.
"Scholars can be killed but not humiliated. If Chen Ning makes half a false statement, the sky will be struck with thunder."
Ning Yunzhao has always behaved calmly and spoken politely, this is the first time he has acted and spoken like this.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help being startled.
The queen had never dealt with these ministers before, and at this moment, she was flustered by this series of words that she couldn't understand but the word "sage" kept appearing. She subconsciously took a step back, unable to say a word.
Ning Yunzhao didn't give everyone a chance to speak, but he didn't stop being aggressive either.
"This imperial edict was given to the minister when His Majesty was ill. I don't know how His Majesty thought about it and when it was written." He said with a solemn expression and a calm voice, "I also know that when I take out this imperial edict, You will be criticized, but as a minister, you should be loyal to the king's affairs, even if you are regarded as a hypocrite and a sycophant, you will not be afraid."
The first time the concubines saw the courtiers responding, they were so frightened that they forgot to cry. Although they didn't understand, they only felt that the words were powerful.
This is what is often said to be righteous.
However, the other courtiers were not as frightened as these deep palace women, and their expressions were a little strange.
Is righteousness Lingran
In other words, it can also be said to be a rogue.
Anyway, what I got was the emperor's edict. As for why this edict is like this, I don't know, what do you like.
If he speaks righteously about what the emperor said, ordered, and wrote this imperial edict, everyone has been struggling in the court for decades to distinguish the truth from the false words, and to pick out the truth from the words. It is very easy to refute the omission.
But now Ning Yunzhao didn't say a word of explanation, just insisted that the edict was true, and he didn't know anything else, so it was hard to question.
"Treat Your Majesty first."
An old minister's voice sounded.
"First investigate what caused His Majesty's illness."
He looked at the court officials and then at the queen.
"Give an explanation to the people of the world first, and then discuss the matter of the crown prince."
Drag word tactics.
It's the best way right now.
For the queen and suspicious officials, as long as the crown prince is not decided on the spot, there is still a chance.
As for Ning Yunzhao, he believed in being loyal to the monarch, and he didn't care if he had to wait at this time.
"Investigate! Find out how and when His Majesty fell ill, investigate these bold eunuchs Jin Yiwei, find out how all this happened, and no one can be spared..." The queen tremblingly said.
Now the emperor can't speak or move, and the queen mother is also unconscious. In this palace, only the queen is in charge.
The officials present responded in unison.
Next, the court officials arranged for the rotation of the guards, arranged for the convening of hundreds of officials, arranged for the imperial physicians to treat the emperor and the empress dowager, and ordered the arrest of Yuan Bao and Lu Yunqi related personnel in the palace and the imperial mausoleum for questioning, and the whole palace was in a hurry.
But none of these things had anything to do with Miss Jun. She stood quietly aside, like a forgotten person, and she seemed to have forgotten all the things in front of her, only looking at the emperor on the bed.
Miss Jun saw tears rolling down the corners of the emperor's eyes, who were lying quietly.
But she was the only one who noticed that the servants were anxiously serving the weeping and terrified concubines, the imperial physicians were busy looking for medical records, and the courtiers were arranging shifts in political affairs. No one seemed to give the emperor a second look.
From early morning to evening, the emperor seems to have become a forgotten person before the end of the day.
Yes, from now on, he is already a useless person, and his position as the Son of Heaven is over.
Miss Jun looked down and looked away.
"Miss Jun, please leave the palace." An official in charge of cleaning up irrelevant people came over and said solemnly.
Although she has the title of county lord, she has no chance to intervene in the following matters, and the people in the palace and the court officials will not allow her to intervene.
She also made it clear that His Majesty could not be cured, and the palace people and court officials who were on guard against her would not let her stay any longer.
Miss Jun responded and went out.
…
In the twilight, many officials gathered in front of the imperial city.
Although the hundred officials have not been called yet, the movement in the city cannot be concealed from everyone, and the palace gates are closed intermittently, and there are intermittent news, especially that almost all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital have entered the palace, which has attracted various discussions.
"I heard that the emperor is back."
"He said he was sick."
"Why do you mobilize so many soldiers and horses when you are sick? Could something be wrong inside?"
There was a buzz of discussion in front of the palace gate, and more officials and officials rushed in from a distance, making it extremely noisy in front of the imperial city.
Seeing Miss Jun coming out, the buzzing stopped, and all eyes were on her, but no one came forward to ask. First, the imperial guards looked at each other, and second, people from Jiulingtang rushed to meet her. , let Miss Jun leave directly by car.
"I don't think it will work."
"If she was really sick, why would Miss Jun leave?"
"Maybe the illness is very mild and doesn't need Miss Jun's treatment."
"You really treat Your Majesty like everyone else. Even if Miss Jun dies, the palace will keep her watching."
The discussion here arose again, and Miss Jun's carriage quickly disappeared to put the chaos aside.
The lights were lit in the Jiuling Hall, and Chen Qi, Liu's shopkeeper, stood together in it, and greeted her immediately when she came in.
"It's spread all over the city..." Chen Qi said anxiously, "What happened?"
"Your Majesty is ill," Miss Jun said.
really.
Chen Qi's eyes sparkled.
"What's wrong..." he asked.
Shopkeeper Liu interrupted him before he finished speaking.
"Miss Jun." He said with a serious expression, "something happened to the young master."
…
The spring scene is already in full bloom and the early summer is coming, but countless paper money suddenly rises on the street with red willows and green flowers, followed by forests of white banners calling for souls, and after that, there are even more people in sackcloth and mourning that can't be seen.
The streets that were quiet due to the rampage of the Jin soldiers were crowded with people at this time, and the paper money was kept being raised, scattered all over the sky, and then fell all over the ground. It seemed that the world had returned to the cold winter, and everywhere was white.
"This funeral is even grander than that of Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang." An old man in the crowd murmured, "It really deserves to be the Fang family."
