On the same day, it was decided that An Shuli would leave the capital, and immediately sent someone to invite the Fifth Prince. The fifth prince hurried to the East Palace. After hearing this, his face turned pale. He looked at An Shuli, then at Huayan, and finally at Mei Shuyu and Cheng Guzhi. Soaring peaks.
He stammered, "Can I stand up?"
An Shuli looked at him and smiled, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, and gave him a heavy slap. The fifth prince shortened his body and stood up straight again. He said, "You have to have confidence in yourself. After a lot of experience, you have been in the court for half a year since you returned to Beijing, and you have not made any mistakes. I am afraid that the crown princess will stay in the capital, but you are not sure, and if you can't take care of things, just ask the crown princess. "
Hearing this, the fifth prince had some confidence in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Not to mention for the sake of the fourth brother, but for the sake of the fourth sister-in-law and my nephew, I have to stand up to the court even if I grit my teeth."
"That's right." Mei Shuyu's heart was full of blood, "Don't be afraid, there are so many people in Beijing besides the prince's cousin, Mr. Cheng is also here, and Xia Ze and Xiao Shiyi entered the Imperial Academy It’s been half a year in the hospital, so do what you can, they are small, but they have a lot of brains and are very smart.”
"En." The fifth prince nodded and asked, "When are you leaving?" "I'll go to the palace to see the emperor, and I'll leave the capital before dawn." An Shuli said, "It's urgent, the sooner the better." The prince nodded.
Mei Shuyu said, "I'll go back to the Jinglu soldiers and horses camp right now. The soldiers and horses are in order. It's dawn and I'll wait for you outside Beijing."
An Shuli nodded, "OK."
Cheng Guzhi said, "I'm also going to prepare food and grass now."
An Shuli thought for a while, "My elder brother can escort the food and grass."
Cheng Guzhi's eyes lit up, "I'm thinking about who to send with the army to supervise the food and grass, and now it's him. I'll send someone to find him."
An Shuli nodded, "In recent years, although he has been absurd in his sexuality and the inner courtyard is a mess, he is safe and not confused about business."
Several people discussed it properly, An Shuli quickly entered the palace with Hua Zhuo's letter, Mei Shuyu and Cheng Guzhi also went their separate ways, Huayan and the fifth prince were left in the study in a blink of an eye.
The Fifth Prince looked at Huayan, "Sister-in-law Si, you don't look well, you'd better go back and rest."
Huayan shook her head, "It's okay, I won't be able to lie down even when I go back." After finishing the sentence, she ordered him, "Xiao Wu, find me a copy of the roster of all those who have military positions in the Imperial Forest Army, the Imperial Guard Army, and the Wucheng Army Ma Si. Come, let’s record it in detail.”
The fifth prince was taken aback, "Sister-in-law is worried about the soldiers and horses in the inner city"
Hua Yan said, "After all the soldiers and horses in the Jinglu Army and Horse Camp are transferred away, only the soldiers and horses in the inner city are left in the capital. There must be no trouble."
The fifth prince's heart trembled, "Sister-in-law Si said yes, I'll go right away."
Huayan nodded.
The Fifth Prince hurried out of the East Palace, the study fell silent, Huayan turned around and sat down at the table, and the other mammy said, "Mommy grind ink for me."
Nanny Fang looked at a large pile of memorials on the table, piled up like a hill. These were reviewed by An Zaifu before she came today. She looked at Huayan's big belly and said, "Crown Princess, you can't be tired. .”
"Don't worry, I'll let it go when I'm tired. Xiao Wu has not been trained by his father since he was a child. Although Yun Chi taught him a lot, he only learned a little about government affairs. When An Zaifu left, I was the only one who could help him." Watching him stand up in court, I am familiar with how to review this memorial."
In the last life, she annotated too much on Huaiyu's behalf. In this life, when she stayed in the study with Yunchi, she accompanied her to organize the memorials by category, and occasionally imitated his handwriting to make him rest earlier.
Therefore, these memorials are not difficult for her. The only thing is that you can't be too tired because you are pregnant.
Nanny Fang nodded, "This servant will grind ink for you, you must rest when you are tired."
"Okay." Huayan nodded.
Most of the memorials these days are about the follow-up matters of the investigation of the major families. Hua Yan did not imitate other people's handwriting, but used her own handwriting and correct fonts to review the memorials.
Mother Fang waited on the side, thinking that the Crown Princess' handwriting was really strong, just as good as His Highness.
In the palace, the emperor saw An Shuli coming in a hurry, with a solemn expression on his face, he knew that something urgent might have happened. When he saw Hua Zhuo's letter, and heard the result of the discussion between An Shuli, Hua Yan and the others, he sat up while lying on the bed, his face was pale, and he said decisively, "I'm sure."
In any case, if Yunchi can't get into trouble, he must stop half a million soldiers and horses, and An Shuli will go forward. Not only Hua Yan is relieved, but he is also relieved.
Immediately, the emperor drafted an imperial decree with his own hand, handed it to An Shuli, and instructed, "Be careful in everything, no matter what method you use, you must stop the 500,000 rebels."
"Yes." An Shuli took the imperial decree with both hands, did not leave immediately, but suggested, "The minister came to the palace, after thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that the fifth prince will not be able to suppress the courtiers at all, and the emperor is not too strong now. Tired. I have a suggestion."
"Tell me." The emperor also felt that the fifth prince did not have An Shuli's two actions. Although the current turmoil in the government and the public has not left much aftertaste, Marquis Wuwei is still locked up in Dali Temple, and he has been locked up for a month. Some people took advantage of the time when Jinglu soldiers and horses were transferred away from the capital, and took the opportunity to cause chaos. The fifth prince is still too immature.
An Shuli cupped his hands and said, "I implore, the emperor will issue another imperial decree, ordering the crown princess to assist the fifth prince in supervising the country."
The emperor was startled, and looked at An Shuli in surprise, "Huayan is pregnant, and she is too old to work hard, let alone a woman, how can she supervise the country?"
An Shuli said sternly, "Although the crown princess is old, she is not yet bedridden and can still work hard. If the minister, General Mei, and Lord Gu hadn't resolutely stopped her, the crown princess would have personally led the Jinglu soldiers." Ma Daying went to intercept him. The Crown Princess has heaven and earth in her belly and hills and valleys in her chest. With her sitting in the capital, the minister is very relieved. Now that the Southern Chu River is in danger, and it is time for employing people, Zhao Qingxi has been promoted early and has already been fired. First of all, if women have great talents, why should they be reused? Do you think the crown prince's talent is not as good as Zhao Qingxi's?"
The emperor shook his head, "How could her talent be inferior to Zhao Qingxi's? It's just that she is in poor health, and now she is pregnant, and the month is old. Let her stand in the court, and there will inevitably be opposition. live."
An Shuli smiled, "Your Majesty is worrying too much. The Crown Princess is persevering, flexible, resourceful, courageous, and full of heart. You can rest assured that she will not be overwhelmed. Originally, I thought that the Crown Princess was behind the scenes. It would be good to help the fifth prince to be stable, but this way, thinking that the fifth prince has never reviewed the memorials, it is still necessary for the crown princess to attend the court."
The emperor sighed, "Forget it, just according to what you said, I will start going to the court tomorrow. Although I am so weak, I can't review the memorials and manage affairs, but I can still go to the court every day. "
"If this is the case, I can rest assured." Seeing the emperor's promise, An Shuli admired him in his heart. Although the emperor was ill and incompetent for a long time, he was not greedy for power. He listened to people's persuasion, let go when it was time to let go, and stand up when it was time to stand up. That's enough. .
Immediately, the emperor wrote another imperial decree asking Huayan to cooperate with the five princes to supervise the country, and An Shuli took it out of the palace by An Shuli.
When An Shuli returned to the East Palace, he guessed correctly. Seeing Huayan reviewing the memorial in the study, he smiled and placed the imperial decree in front of her.
Hua Yan raised her eyebrows, glanced at An Shuli, opened the imperial decree, and smiled after reading it, "I was thinking about going to the palace tomorrow morning to ask my father for an imperial decree, but I didn't expect you to be the first to think about bringing it back for me." .Thank you very much."
An Shuli smiled, "I thought and thought about it on the way, but you still have to stand in the court hall, the fifth prince can't restrain the courtiers. If the emperor's body is overworked, it may be harmful to his lifespan. Before leaving, His Royal Highness told you I, if I can keep the emperor from worrying about things, I won’t let him worry about it. The emperor needs to stay in bed to recuperate. If he is healthy, he can have two or three years of life. If the cultivation is not good, it will be hard to say."
Huayan pursed her lips, "The emperor was still injured on the day of the palace banquet, and he couldn't even raise him up. Originally, the sky kept saying that if nothing happened, the emperor would have at least ten years left."
"You should also pay attention to your health." An Shuli said, "Zhao Qingxi has figured out six parts these days, and many things, just leave it to her. You can't work too hard, no matter what, your highness is the most important thing."
"I know." Huayan stood up, reached out and patted An Shuli's shoulder, and said solemnly, "Shuli, take care. Be sure to stop half a million soldiers and bring Mei Shuyu back safely. , it is indispensable for you to assist Yunchi in governing the peace of the world, so you can't be lazy."
An Shuli also looked upright, "Don't worry, even for my mother, I can't do it."
Huayan saw that there was still time, so she talked with An Shuli in detail about the topography of the Valley of Miraculous Physicians, and the two agreed on the method of deploying troops. Afterwards, An Shuli quickly Leaving the East Palace with the hidden guards and going to the Ministry of Households, An Shuye had already been informed by Cheng Guzhi, and the food and grass had been prepared. The two brothers left the city together to join Mei Shuyu's Jinglu soldiers and horses. Go to the Valley of Doctors.
