The emperor's illness has not recovered, and he has not attended the morning court for several days.
A country cannot live without a king for a day, and all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are worried!
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has never failed to attend court early for a day!
During dinner that day, Wen Jiarui couldn't help but ask: "Sister Nuan, the emperor has been ill for several days in a row and has not attended the morning court for four days. Do you want Shi Qi to take you into the palace to show the emperor?"
Wen Nuan shook his head when he heard the words: "Don't worry, Dad, there are so many doctors in the palace, the emperor will be fine. If necessary, Brother Seventeen will talk to me."
Wen Jiarui thought so when he heard it.
Besides, treating the emperor's illness is a big or small matter, so you have to think twice before taking any action.
He didn't know why, but he always felt as if something big was about to happen.
The emperor's health is not good, but political affairs cannot be delayed.
The emperor asked the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince to handle political affairs together in the imperial study. He lay on the bed and listened.
In the afternoon, the eldest prince brought a group of ministers to the imperial study room to discuss matters.
They discussed the folk rumors this time.
"This is simply unreasonable! Those people said two days ago that my father was the real dragon emperor and could scare out the river monsters. Why did the river monster suddenly become the green dragon in the Qinglong River
He also said that Qinglong came out to do justice for Heaven because his father had bad moral character
My father has been diligent and caring for the people all his life. Since my father ascended the throne, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. How come his moral conduct has failed
That one in Qinglong River is obviously a man-eating river monster! How did he become a blue dragon? "The eldest prince said excitedly.
He was so angry that he almost slapped the table.
"The rumors also say that King Jin killed Qinglong, and Nalan Kingdom may predict that some natural or man-made disaster will happen! This is nonsense!" the Minister of Industry said angrily!
"Yes, the emperor is diligent and caring for the people. How come he has lost his moral character? Why has he done something that is not allowed by heaven? He is just a bunch of illiterate people talking nonsense." The Minister of Libu blew his beard and glared in anger.
... ...
The second prince was equally angry: "This is not a simple matter. No one is instigating it. I definitely don't believe it! Those who spread the rumors are ignorant women and children and illiterate people. They always follow the wind and make rain!"
The third prince nodded in agreement: "The eldest and second emperor brothers are right. Rumors stop with the wise!"
"Yes, these rumors must be spread by someone. We must quickly find the person spreading the rumors and suppress the rumors. Otherwise, if they are spread to ten, then they will be spread to a hundred, and the common people will believe them if they are spread enough." said the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.
…
The emperor was lying on the dragon bed and was not dying of illness, but he was almost mad to death.
Man-eating crocodile turns into a green dragon
It's a shame they figured it out!
This is to take advantage of his illness and simply piss him off to death!
Make a fuss!
Let them wait for a few days until the army is in position...
The emperor coughed: "I have my own opinion on this matter. Let's discuss the drought in the north and how to use this drought to build water conservancy projects, dredge rivers, and build bridges to benefit the people!"
The drought in the north is extremely severe, but drought is not only bad things!
At least the water in the river has dried up, or the water level is low, which is conducive to the construction of water conservancy projects and bridges.
Roads connect with finances, and building bridges on important rivers can bring convenience to the people and businessmen in the two places and promote the development of the two places.
Floods will inevitably follow long droughts, so it is very important to seize the opportunity to build water conservancy projects.
Silver, the emperor has prepared it.
The eldest prince immediately said: "What my father said is that rumors stop only among wise people. If we don't talk about this matter, let's discuss the construction of water conservancy projects."
It would be better not to suppress it!
At that time, even if I want to suppress it, I won’t be able to suppress it anymore.
The eldest prince: "The construction of water conservancy projects is a major event. The water level of the Dujiang River is the lowest in a century. We must seize this opportunity to build the longest bridge in history! Building bridges and roads is a contribution to the present and will benefit the future! Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Dujiang Bridge: What kind of bridge does your Ministry of Industry plan to build? This prince tells you that this bridge must be strong and beautiful in appearance. No matter how big the flood is, it cannot destroy it, and it must stand firm for thousands of years!..."
The emperor listened to the eldest prince's words in the study and shook his head.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly agreed: "Weichen has led people to conceive a very strong stone arch bridge. The whole length... The bridge body is carved with twelve zodiac animals, and the bridge head..."

Everyone has been discussing it in the royal study room for an hour, but they haven't finished the discussion yet.
At this time, the Queen, Concubine Li, Concubine Shu and others came in: "Okay, the Emperor is not fully recovered yet, so he shouldn't be too tired. Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do!"
The eldest prince smiled and said: "The queen is so thoughtful that my son and ministers have forgotten the time!"
"What the queen said is that the emperor's dragon body is the most important thing. I have to resign!" The minister of the Ministry of Industry stood up.
Several important ministers also stood up.
Everyone stood up one after another and walked towards the door of the royal study room, intending to bow to the emperor on the dragon bed and leave.
When the second prince passed by the desk, the eldest prince accidentally bumped into the second prince.
The second prince's body hit the painting tube containing many scrolls next to the desk.
A sound of "哐婷" came out.
The painting tube fell to the ground, and all the paintings inside were scattered all over the place.
Everyone: "......"
The things in the emperor's study are all priceless antiques!
Moreover, the emperor has used them since childhood and likes them very much.
Everyone knew that the emperor was nostalgic for his old friendship, and the tea bowl he drank from had not been replaced for decades.
This painting tube for holding scrolls has been used since the emperor's enlightenment.
What if this breaks
Everyone looked at the second prince sympathetically.
The second prince was also dumbfounded. This blue and white porcelain painting tube was the first batch of porcelain that entered the palace when blue and white porcelain was first introduced in the previous dynasty. After so many years, there are not many pieces of the first batch of blue and white porcelain left! !
The most important thing is that my father likes it very much!
There are also calligraphy and paintings collected by the emperor...
If this is cut by a piece of porcelain...
"Brother, why are you bumping into me?" The second prince frowned and looked at the eldest prince.
This matter is definitely not just his responsibility!
The eldest prince looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, second emperor brother, I have been sitting for too long, my feet are numb, and I can't stand firmly for a while!"
After speaking, he rubbed his stiff legs.
The queen was furious: "Hurry and pick up the scrolls on the ground! These scrolls are the emperor's collection!"
The queen was the first to squat down and pick it up with her own hands.
Eunuch Li hurriedly said: "Queen, just let the servants clean up here! Everyone, please get out quickly!"
When the queen picked up the scroll, she held a scroll in one hand and bumped a scroll slightly as if accidentally, and the scroll rolled away.
A portrait of a woman appeared in front of everyone.
Eunuch Li's expression changed and he quickly put it away, everyone could see it.
Concubine Li took a look and thought it looked familiar: "Hey, who is that? It looks familiar, like..."
What the Queen Mother looked like when she was young.
Is this a portrait of the Queen Mother
She suddenly stopped talking.
Then his eyes widened with disbelief!
"Get out!" The emperor walked out at this time and said with a gloomy look.
Everyone was shocked, as if they were waking up from a dream!
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately saluted and said: "Wei minister, please retire!"
Other ministers also quickly bowed and resigned:
"Wei Chen resigns!"
"Wei Chen resigns!"
