As the emperor recovered, Liang's court gradually returned to stability. It's just that the prince, who had been insisting on managing politics and taking care of the emperor's illness before, became seriously ill after the emperor completely recovered.
The father and son became seriously ill one after another, but fortunately there was always someone to support the court, and the whole court situation was still stable.
Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Qi Yang entered the palace to visit again, and when he came back, he couldn't help sighing at Lu Qipei: "This year, I see that the emperor's health is better, but after the winter, all this tossing is completely exhausted. In vain."
Hearing this, Lu Qipei was not surprised, he just said: "The Crown Prince was already unwell in the winter. Before, His Majesty's condition was severe, and it was not good for him to be in a hurry. Later, he insisted on managing the government, and it was only now that he fell ill. It's not easy. But I have also asked the two famous doctors who have treated the prince. The prince looks dangerous this time, but it is no different from the past, and the spring will be much better."
After four years, it has become a habit for the crown prince to get sick, not to mention Qi Yang and Lu Qipei, even the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are calm. On the contrary, this time the emperor was seriously ill, and he was able to support it, which was impressive.
Only the crown prince's illness is like that. It doesn't make any difference to talk or not to talk, to talk more and talk less, and Qi Yang has long since stopped using this to block himself. She just came back to mention it after visiting the prince, and then changed the subject: "I have seen Aqi. He was praised by His Majesty last time, and he seems to be more confident when he comes back. Now that the emperor is sick, he has taught him more. up."
In fact, there is no way to do it. After this encounter, the emperor's body is not as good as before, and the prince's weakness is also unpredictable. The emperor sent a letter to the crown prince, but he didn't try to cultivate the other sons, and they all grew crooked.
To put it in a bad way, if the emperor died at this time, the prince would not be able to hold on. And if he couldn't hold it, he didn't need to mention the defunct King of Chu and the imprisoned King of Qi. Where would the remaining King of Wei be? On the contrary, the eldest grandson, who has grown up gradually, can make people look forward to two more points. It is no wonder that he has gradually entered the public eye since Qiu Shou showed his face.
However, when Qi Yang mentioned the eldest grandson, he didn't have much interest in it. He simply sighed when he saw the little boy who was quite close to him. He will be twelve years old, and as long as the prince can hold on for another four or five years, the eldest grandson will also be able to stand up.
Hearing this, Lu Qipei only answered lightly, "That's fine."
The two had a few conversations, but Lu Qipei's reaction was all indifferent. Qi Yang also seemed to have noticed something, so he leaned over to her and asked, "I don't think you're in a good mood, but what happened?"
Lu Qipei took her and sat down beside her, thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing, I just count the days, there should be results in Beirong. It's just that the snow has been heavy recently, and even the carrier pigeons can't fly, I don't know the news. When will it be sent back?"
In fact, after the incident of the three princesses, whether it was Xie Yuan's follow-up, the design of General Zuo to overturn the case, or the monarch and ministers torn their faces and confronted each other, it all happened in a very short period of time. But the news was delivered in sequence, so Lu Qipei couldn't wait for the follow-up for a long time after receiving the first letter.
Hearing this, Qi Yang put his hand on the back of her hand, and said with a smile, "Why, A Pei doesn't have confidence in his arrangement?"
Lu Qipei was a little embarrassed because of Qi Yang's soothing gestures, but he laughed when he heard the words: "I'm not an immortal, can I still control things that are thousands of miles away? This time, I just took advantage of the situation opened up by Your Majesty and made the best of the situation. Even I even I have never been to Beirong, and I have a general understanding of those people. If the plan is different from the reality, it is not surprising that it will not be effective."
She said it frankly, but Qi Yang also knew what she cared about, so he didn't want to comfort him, so he simply said: "What are you worried about? The father and emperor's illness is cured, and he will definitely fight Xie Yuan if he is free. "
In fact, they don't have to intervene in the struggle of their parents. If it wasn't for Xie Yuan's ambitions, and the calculation was for the entire royal family and even the kingdom of Liang, it would be fine for Qi Yang to take Lu Qipei directly.
Seeing that she betrayed her father without hesitation, Lu Qipei couldn't help laughing. While thinking about it, I hugged my daughter-in-law and kissed her cheekily: "Okay, your Highness is still the best for me."
In the palace, the emperor recovered from his illness and regained control of the court without spending much time. He finally got time to spare, and finally remembered that there was still a serious problem in the north, so he turned his head and asked Zhang Jian, "Is there any news from the north recently?"
Zhang Jian was wrong for a while, so he replied: "The news was sent from the north two days ago. It will snow heavily this winter, and there may be a snow disaster."
The emperor was speechless for a moment and didn't say anything, just stared at Zhang Jianduo twice.
Zhang Jian reacted immediately, patted his mouth quickly, and said with a smile: "It's the servant who misunderstood, is your Majesty asking about Beirong? The spy sent two secret reports, and the previous time the prince read it again after reading it. It's sealed, but the new one sent yesterday hasn't been opened yet."
While speaking, Zhang Jian had already searched out the two sealed papers and placed them on the emperor's desk respectfully.
The emperor gave him a sideways glance, and then he retracted his gaze and began to dismantle it. Naturally, the one that the prince had read was the one that the prince had read first. The content was not very good, but it was just a customary report, and the emperor had read it and threw it aside. However, after he opened the second sealed report, he was stunned at the beginning, and then the expression of the emperor, who had always collapsed in front of Mount Tai without changing his face, changed dramatically.
Zhang Jian looked at the emperor's expression and looked at the secret report in his hand. He couldn't help but feel curious about the content of the secret report - I really don't know what was written on it, so that the emperor could care so much
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the emperor suddenly laughing and shouting hello, and all the palace servants in the room were startled.
Zhang Jian was staring at the back of the secret report, and when he heard this blurted out, he couldn't help being stunned. But fortunately, he has been with you for many years, and he has already developed the ability to hide his emotions. He immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty has met something good, and you are so happy?"
When the emperor was overjoyed, he did not hesitate to share it with others, and Zhang Jian's question was presumptuous, but the decision to say or not to say it was still in the hands of the emperor. Therefore, the emperor never blamed Zhang Jian for being too talkative, and he was even willing to tell him many things.
This was the case at the moment, the emperor waved the others back, but smiled with Zhang Jian: "It's a good thing, the emperor of Beirong fell out with the prime minister. Now his two generals on the left and right lead the army to confront each other, and one shouts to be executed. Rebel minister, one shouted at the side of the Qing Jun... If you count the days, this news reaches my hands, I'm afraid that the capital of Rongguo has already been in a fight."
When Zhang Jian heard this, he also cheered, and said happily, "That's good, you should let those barbarians beat themselves."
The emperor smiled even more when he heard this. He didn't know the details of Xie Yuan, for him, the entire Rong Kingdom was his opponent. The alienation plan set up before was not just to target Xie Yuan, but the main purpose was to weaken the Rongguo national strength. And Xie Yuan is a talented person, and having him assisting Emperor Rong is like a tiger with wings, so the emperor will focus on dealing with him first.
It's just that the previous serious illness was delayed for too long, and there was no time to follow up on the follow-up measures. The emperor thought that his previous plans were all in vain. I don't know what happened to Xie Yuanfa, but he even ordered his princess to be hacked to death!
In this way, it is no different from treason. There is no need for the emperor to do anything, and Emperor Rong cannot let Xie Yuan go.
Now it is better for their monarch and minister to bite each other, which can not only consume the national strength of Rongguo, but also completely disintegrate the monarch and minister who used to cooperate sincerely. Without Xie Yuan's planning, the newly built Rong Kingdom and Rong Emperor would not be so difficult to deal with.
The emperor kept the secret report, and vaguely felt that there was something strange behind the matter. But since the matter was in his favor, he didn't want to think about it too much. He turned around and handed the secret report to Zhang Jian, and ordered: "Send it to the East Palace and the Prince to see it, so that he can be happy in his illness."
Zhang Jian responded with a smile, and quickly ordered someone to send the secret report to the East Palace.
In the East Palace, the crown prince was seriously ill and bedridden, but his diligence was unmatched by others. He would also take time to care about government affairs when he was sick, but he couldn't read it by himself, so he simply asked the eldest grandson to read it in front of the hospital bed. He listens. In the past, the eldest grandson had finished reading the prince and then instructed him to write, but now the prince has two more expectations and patience for this son, and is willing to teach him carefully about government affairs.
The father and son taught and learned each other, and they got along more closely than before, but they were extraordinarily warm and harmonious in front of the sickbed.
It was at this time that the secret report sent by Zhang Jian's messenger arrived. After the prince received the secret report, he read it three times in a row, but it was not as pure and cheerful as the emperor. He knew more and thought more, and his expression was very complicated for a while.
Seeing this, the eldest grandson couldn't help but be curious, and since his relationship with his father has improved now, he carefully asked, "Father, what is written on it?"
The prince thought for a while after hearing the words, and handed over the secret report. The eldest grandson has a shallow knowledge of state affairs, and now he hasn't even finished studying the affairs of Liang's country. Naturally, he hasn't understood the affairs of other countries. But he could see the most basic Beirong civil strife. He just didn't understand the prince's attitude, so he asked more carefully: "Father, Liang Rong is a feud, what's wrong with the Beirong civil strife?"
Of course there is nothing wrong, but the prince is worried, but it is not easy to tell his son. He thought about it for a while, and then ordered someone to send this secret report to Qiyang Mansion, and the eldest grandson was even more puzzled when he saw it.
In the end, the prince didn't explain anything, he just said something inexplicably: "Aqi, your aunt Qiyang is a trustworthy person, and her concubine is also incomparable. It's just that you should always be careful about your uncle. it is good."
The eldest grandson listened more and more ignorantly, and he could see that his father had specially warned him, but he obediently agreed to write it down.
It's just privately, he has a good impression of his uncle, who is thin and handsome, but has excellent archery skills. There are good-looking people everywhere, not to mention those who are good-looking and capable, and can even win. The prince himself praised the unparalleled intellect.
The crown prince may not know, because of his exhortation, the eldest grandson is more interested in Lu Qipei. He is planning for his son's future, but some of the worries are actually superfluous.
