"Your Majesty, please issue an order to call all the princes back to Beijing."
"Your Majesty, please make an order."
"Your Majesty, please appoint the crown prince as soon as possible."
After two days, the news of the Son of Heaven's hemiplegia finally got out, and everyone who should know knew about it.
Civil and military ministers were anxious to get angry.
The emperor is paralyzed, it's terrible!
What's more, the prince is not here, and the crown prince has not been established.
Every civil and military minister who is for the country and the people, or opportunistic, is jumping three feet high, and is worried about possible chaos in the future.
The Son of Heaven cannot be allowed to continue to be capricious.
Ever since, the civil and military ministers joined forces in a rare series and rushed into the Xingqing Palace to ask for orders.
It is said to be begging for life, but in fact it is forcing the palace.
The emperor is paralyzed, and the emperor will not live long. Everyone must work hard for the succession of the new emperor.
As for the mood of the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, no one cares.
Nothing is more important than setting up a crown prince.
Looking at the dark head, feeling the spittle sprayed by the civil and military ministers, the emperor's eyes were bloodshot, and the left half of his face was hideous and terrifying.
Coupled with the stiff right half of his face, he looks like a ghost who chooses and devours people. I can't wait to tear everyone present, one by one.
The emperor's freely movable left hand was tightly grasping the armrest of the chair, with bulging veins and trembling all the time.
The majesty of the Son of Heaven, Gan Gang's arbitrariness, disappeared at this moment.
Because of his hemiplegia, he was no longer the emperor who frightened everyone to death with a single stare.
Because of hemiplegia, the halo of the emperor on his body was overshadowed.
In just a few days, not only was he forced into the palace, but he was likely to be further reduced to one of the countless empty emperors in history who were emptied by courtiers.
he does not!
The emperor shouted in his heart that even if he died, he would die with dignity and authority.
He still has the final say on this court.
"Give it all to me, shut up!" The emperor gritted his teeth, slamming every word.
The originally majestic words were not convincing because of hemiplegia.
Look at those civil and military officials who usually pretend to be quail, look at their eyes, do they have fear of the emperor in their eyes
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to recall the prince who is away as soon as possible."
"For the sake of the Great Zhou, Jiangshan and Sheji, please make an order as soon as possible, and don't delay any longer."
"Establish the crown prince as soon as possible, and stabilize the hearts of the people as soon as possible. Your Majesty, do you want to watch the turmoil in the capital?"
The courtiers were heartbroken.
At this moment, they looked at the emperor's eyes, as if they were looking at a foolish emperor.
You have been sitting on the throne for thirty-seven years, it is time to abdicate and let the virtuous, let the new emperor take the throne to open up a new atmosphere.
How long will you be willful and irritable
Are you really going to hand over the throne to the two-year-old little prince
It's a joke in the world.
The eyes of civil and military officials slowly changed from grief to condemnation.
You are clearly a fool. Not even inheriting the throne, and wishing to live forever, the great country is about to be ruined!
In the future history books, there will be a special book about this matter. You will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame of the faint king.
This is the anger from Wen Chen.
They hold the pens, and they want Emperor Kai Yao to be infamous after death, so that he will never stand up again.
Your Majesty, stop making trouble. The border is unstable! Hurry up and set up the crown prince, let's calm down.
This is the cry from the generals.
The old and the new alternate, and turmoil is the most taboo.
However, when the old and the new are in transition, turmoil is most likely to occur.
A mature emperor should appoint the crown prince early to calm people's hearts. Then you can close your eyes in peace and die!
"You guys..."
The Son of Heaven raised his left hand and pointed at the crowd of people, "You guys are going to force... um..."
Before finishing a sentence, Tianzi suddenly felt dizzy and black-eyed, and completely lost consciousness in a short time.
"Not good! Your Majesty has passed out. Call the imperial physician quickly."
"Are you trying to force His Majesty to death? If His Majesty has any troubles, you will be traitors."
"You are so vicious that you actually forced His Majesty into a coma."
"In just a few days, His Majesty has been in a coma for a while. Those who are present will count one by one. Let's wait for the fall to settle the score."
In the main hall, the servants who served closely beside the emperor counted as one, and all pointed at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and cursed angrily.
Xiao Huangmen was in a hurry, carrying the emperor back to the palace for diagnosis and treatment.
The imperial physician followed closely behind, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Chen Dachang glanced at everyone coldly, and left a sentence, "Call the Jinwu Guards to guard the Xingqing Palace. Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!"
In the main hall, the civil and military ministers were frightened. They didn't want to force the emperor to death.
Who would have thought that the emperor was so angry that he passed out.
Jin Wuwei came very quickly.
They are the eagle dogs of the emperor, and they only listen to the emperor.
They were not polite at all, and directly drove away the civil and military ministers who insisted on staying in Xingqing Palace and refused to leave.
And firmly guard the palace gate.
As for the guards of the Forbidden Army who were guarding the Xingqing Palace before, they were all disarmed and went to the Jinwu Guard to drink tea.
Facing the force of the Jinwu Guard, the civil and military ministers could do nothing.
Of course, this doesn't mean they have nothing to do.
The news of the emperor's hemiplegia was secretly sent out of the capital a few days ago, and it will soon reach the hands of the princes.
When the princes quietly return to the capital, it is useless for the emperor to object.
The most important thing now is to establish a crown prince.
…
This time, the emperor didn't fall into a coma for a long time.
Thankfully, after an hour, the emperor woke up from his coma.
It's just that the symptoms of stroke are obviously aggravated.
Before, I was able to express relatively clearly, but now I can speak vaguely, and I need to distinguish carefully to understand.
Moreover, the emperor's right leg could not move.
The imperial physicians were worried.
Today's situation happened a few more times, they were really exhausted, and the emperor was really not far from death.
The emperor also felt that his stroke symptoms had worsened, and he couldn't speak clearly.
The emperor was furious.
The imperial physician hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty, don't get angry. Next, Your Majesty is best to rest and stop meddling in government affairs."
Chen Dachang frowned.
It is the time when the storm is on the cusp, how can the emperor not interfere with the government.
Let's talk about setting up the crown prince. Doesn't the emperor ask the courtiers for their opinions
The eldest prince passed away a long time ago, and the only descendant of the prince is Prince Renxuan, who has also passed away.
The eldest son and the first wife are gone.
In this case, the other adult princes can stand up to anyone.
But the "who" is very particular.
If the emperor insists on going his own way, it is not impossible to make the little prince the crown prince.
I'm afraid that once the emperor dies, all the other adult princes will rush to the palace, killing the little prince simply and neatly.
Then the adult princes catch each other and fight again.
This consequence, no one wants to see.
Too serious!
Such a commotion would seriously weaken the national strength of Da Zhou.
Xiliang and Beirong are ambitious and will definitely take the opportunity to start a war.
At that time, it will really become internal and external troubles, the people will not live, and the country will not be the country.
"Who does Your Majesty want to see?"
Chen Dachang listened closely.
The emperor said with difficulty: "Decree, summon the princes and return to Beijing."
Chen Dachang worked very hard to understand this sentence.
He bowed and nodded, "This old slave will invite some adults in."
The emperor nodded, no objection.
Soon, several elders were invited into the bedroom.
According to the will of the emperor, write an imperial decree, and summon all the adult princes who are away to return to Beijing immediately without delay.
After the imperial decree was written, Zhongshuling looked at his beautiful block letters and was very satisfied.
If the emperor had done this earlier, he would have won, and he would not be in a coma again.
"Your Majesty, did the old minister use his seal?"
The Son of Heaven nodded.
All the adults looked at Chen Dachang.
Chen Dachang took a deep breath, took out the emperor's seal from the bedside, dipped some ink pad, and dropped it heavily on the imperial decree.
With this imperial decree, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China can clearly issue a decree to call the princes back to Beijing in an open and honest manner.
This is the court etiquette, and it is justified.
The name is not right and the words are not right.
The name is right!
Without the emperor's decree, Zhongshu Province issued a decree, and Menxia Province and Shangshu Province had the right to reject it.
Any official in the court can act without obeying orders.
This is the balance of power.
At this moment, power checks and balances are still playing their due role.
With the imperial decree, the decree summoning the princes to return to the capital was sent out of the capital as quickly as possible.
I hope that when the decree is delivered, the princes will just leave for Beijing.
The emperor slowly closed his eyes.
Chen Dachang immediately said: "Your Majesty is tired and needs to rest. Please go back, my lords, the court is still waiting for you to stabilize people's hearts."
"Your Majesty, take care of your health. The officials and the others will take care of the matters in the court."
…
After the decree was issued, the courtiers did not bother the emperor any more.
It is rare for the emperor to have a few days of cleanliness, and he took good care of himself according to the doctor's advice, and the symptoms of stroke were slightly relieved.
At least the speech was clearer than when he woke up from the second coma, enough for people to hear clearly what the emperor was saying.
One autumn rain and one cool.
It's almost winter, and it's getting cold early this year.
The emperor was very cold, and the earth dragon was burned in the Xingqing Palace early, so it was very warm.
When the emperor has energy, he can't stay idle.
He first summoned several noble and veteran ministers, and then summoned several civil servants.
No one knew what was said between the monarch and his ministers.
This time, it was rare that everyone did not reveal a word afterwards, and the secrecy measures were taken to the extreme.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor began to summon the eldest grandsons of the prince's mansions of various princes' mansions.
Liu Zhao and King Chu are all on the list.
Liu Yi is not the eldest son, not on the list.
The moment Liu Yi got the news, he crushed the teacup in his hand.
The shattered pieces of porcelain pierced into his palm, bleeding profusely.
The servants around him were in a panic. Hurry up and ask the imperial physician to treat Liu Yi.
Knowing that Liu Yi was injured, Mrs. Pei hurried to the west courtyard.
"Okay, how can you get hurt?"
The wound has been bandaged. There was a pool of blood on the ground but it was too late to clean it up.
Seeing so much blood flowed, Pei's heart ached beyond measure.
"Is it because the servant did not serve properly?"
"Mother and concubine calm down, it has nothing to do with the servants. I accidentally hurt my hand."
Pei frowned, looking at the broken teacup on the ground, she seemed to know why.
She waved her hand and told all the servants to back down, even Xiao Qin'er was kicked out.
In the study room, only the mother and son were left.
"Is it because your majesty summoned your eldest brother, and you are unhappy?"
Liu Yi lowered his head and smiled, his eyes were indifferent.
After a moment, when he raised his head, everything returned to calm.
"Where did the concubine mother go? I can only be happy for the eldest brother to be summoned by the emperor's grandfather."
My own son, how could I not know.
Mrs. Pei sighed, "The situation is unclear now, you brothers must not fight among themselves. If there is anything wrong, we will talk about it after your father returns to Beijing."
Liu Yi nodded and smiled brightly, "Mother, don't worry, I know the seriousness."
Mrs. Pei was really worried, "You have to be more open. There are dozens of emperors and grandchildren, and His Majesty has limited energy. It is impossible to meet each of them. It is a last resort to only summon the eldest sons of each mansion."
Liu Yi said with a smile: "I know it all, I didn't think too much about it. The concubine mother doesn't have to worry about her son."
Seeing the glaring bloodstains on the ground and the broken tiles, Pei was very worried.
"It was all an accident." Liu Yi bent down and picked up the biggest piece.
"My son thought about the errands in the yamen, and was so excited that he accidentally hurt himself. My son promises that there will be no next time."
Mrs. Pei nodded, "It's good if you can figure it out. Your Majesty summoning the eldest sons of each mansion doesn't mean anything. The most important thing now is to appoint a crown prince."
"My son knows."
Mrs. Pei didn't continue nagging, but after giving Xiao Qin'er a few words of advice, she left the West Courtyard with her.
Xiao Qin'er came in with her maid.
The maids quickly cleaned up the ground, as if nothing had happened.
"Cousin, are you okay?"
Liu Yi raised his lips, "Prepare a table of food and wine for the evening, and you have a drink with me."
"The imperial doctor said that my cousin has an injury on his hand, so he can't drink alcohol."
"It's really boring."
Liu Yi looked dissatisfied, "In the days to come, I will always rest in the upper room."
Xiao Qin'er was inexplicably surprised, and then overjoyed.
"Cousin, are you serious?"
Liu Yi smiled at her, "Of course it's true. It's time to add a younger brother to the eldest brother."
Xiao Qin'er nodded frequently, almost crying with joy.
After all, her cousin has one heart with her.
Liu Yi stretched out his hand and put his arms around her, "Why is cousin crying?"
"I'm so excited." Xiao Qin'er wept with joy.
Liu Yi raised his hand and wiped her tears with his sleeve, "Don't cry. We will try to have more children."
"I always listen to my cousin."
Xiao Qin'er plunged into Liu Yi's gentle trap again.
…
In Xingqing Palace, more than a dozen emperors and grandchildren stood in a row for the emperor to see everyone's face clearly.
The person in the middle is naturally the king of Chu who has been conferred the title of king.
King Chu remembered Fang Shaojian's reminders and advice to him before entering the palace, so he tried to remain calm and restrained.
He secretly glanced at Liu Zhao, then at the eldest son of King Zhao, and subconsciously straightened his back even more.
The emperor sat on the head of the bed, his eyes swept over the faces of every eldest emperor and grandson.
Then start asking questions.
The emperor's question is very simple, that is, to ask about family affairs and what the emperor's grandchildren are up to recently.
Finally, a policy theory was arranged, and the emperors and grandchildren were asked to go down and think about it.
In this way, all the emperors and grandchildren were sent away.
The bedroom was quiet again.
After a long time, the emperor opened his eyes and asked, "How is the repair of the three halls going?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it will take another year and a half to complete the work."
"Is there enough money?"
"The budget handed over by the Ministry of Industry is enough. Maybe there is still a little left."
The emperor looked at his bedroom, but unfortunately he might not be able to see the three repaired halls.
Then the emperor asked again: "Have the refugees outside the south gate been settled properly?"
"Your majesty has come forward, so your majesty doesn't have to worry that the refugees will freeze and starve to death."
"How did I hear that tens of thousands of refugees have flooded into the Gyeonggi area?"
Chen Dachang thought to himself, who secretly told His Majesty about this behind his back.
No matter what he thinks in his heart, he always bowed his body: "It is true that tens of thousands of refugees have poured into the capital, and these refugees have come from all directions. But don't worry, Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhao has sent people to gather these refugees and place them in Shili Pavilion outside the south city gate. Nearby. The Ministry of Households also provided enough food and grass to help these refugees survive the winter."
The emperor nodded slightly, "In recent years, there have been more and more refugees."
"It's all God's disapproval. Your Majesty has done his best. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable." Chen Dachang comforted.
The emperor wanted to laugh, but he didn't think of it.
The right side of the face is so stiff that it has affected the left half of the cheek.
The emperor did not embarrass himself.
At any rate, he can speak clearly now.
The imperial physicians of the imperial hospital, at any rate, still have some skills.
"Go and call Gu Jiu, I want to ask him about the resettlement situation of the refugees."
Chen Dachang was obviously stunned for a moment, apparently he did not expect the emperor to summon Mrs. Zhao at this time.
What a surprise!
so unusual.
He bowed to accept the order, and immediately sent someone to Prince Ning's Mansion to invite Gu Jiu into the palace.
…
Not only Chen Dachang was surprised, Gu Jiu was more surprised than anyone else.
What is His Majesty's purpose in summoning her at this time
Are you really asking about the resettlement of refugees
In fact, if you want to know the situation of refugees, you can also ask the household department.
There is complete data there.
Xu Yousi asked for instructions: "Madam, do you want to enter the palace later, wait until the young master returns to the mansion."
Gu Jiu shook her head, "The father-in-laws are waiting outside, how could you allow me to delay for no reason. Qingmei, prepare more purses and bank notes, and follow me into the palace."
"Slaves obey!",
