Chapter 639

"Is the news true?" Xie Shoufu asked the messenger, holding the secret letter.

The man replied: "According to the fact, the king of Yan has fallen ill a month ago. And these days, the army camp has been on the alert for an unusual period of time, and has been trying to block the news. It is the eyelid that your majesty has inserted in Yan army for many years. After many times, he found out this matter in the camp, and after this January investigation, it was clear that Yan army had sent many people to seek medical treatment in Cangzhou and inside and outside, and all of them were doctors who were good at medical treatment.

Heart disease?

The ministers had different faces.

Xie Shoufu frowned because of thinking.

The so-called heart disease can't be an urgent disease suddenly caught overnight - did king Yan have heart disease in the past?

He has never heard of this, and even if it is true, I think King Yan will try his best to hide it, otherwise it will be tantamount to announcing his weakness to the public.

The swallow king has no son. Whether his physique is strong enough is very important. The military spirit is one of them

If something really happens to the Yan king, the Yan King Army

"Will there be fraud?" a minister guessed - it was too sudden, just like the sky that was about to fall, not only suddenly held up, but also dropped the pie!

It inevitably makes people feel untrue.

The minister nodded in agreement.

It's really hard to say whether there is fraud.

After all, no one has seen it with his own eyes, and it is unknown to what extent he is ill and whether there will be a turnaround.

It should be noted that just two months ago, Dingnan Wang zusun and his three people watched the funeral, and in a twinkling of an eye they directly performed the resurrection of the dead!

Not to mention the Yan king?

"You really shouldn't be credulous..." the Minister of rites was very confused: "but if you cheat, what is it?"

These words caused several people to think for a while.

It's really strange

The previous fraud of the Wu family was to force the traitor to appear, and it was in their own house.

In the current situation, if the king of Yan wants to win, he should be more straightforward. Just go ahead and fight. After a year and a half, he will meet Wu Jiajun in Ningyang, and Xu Jiajun will meet him in front. The odds of victory are bright there.

Who can pretend to be ill?

To the court?

But they can't relax their defense just because King Yan is ill. On the contrary, it gives the imperial court time to strengthen defense everywhere!

The yanwang army delayed the March and missed the opportunity to pursue the victory and continue the attack. Yu Junxin undoubtedly has great disadvantages

As for taking this false news to deceive the imperial soldiers and horses to kill them? - isn't it fragrant to kill them directly? Why do you want to kill them with one stone? Isn't it sick?

There seems to be nothing to plot about.

The ministers were all skeptical about this.

Xie Shoufu took another look at the secret letter in his hand, so he confessed: "the letter is spread everywhere near Cangzhou. Continue to investigate the truth and reality of the matter, and be sure to find out the causes and consequences. In addition, we must strengthen our defense and deal with it at all times. We must not relax our carelessness and give people an opportunity because of the undiscovered news."

At present, everything must be careful.

The messenger should go down and take orders.

……

In this way, I spent half a month in peace and tranquility. When the news came back, it was almost a conclusion——

According to the eye of the probe, there were different doctors in the camp of the king of the army, but all those who were in the posting had been put under house arrest and were not allowed to leave the barracks.

On the verge of death or destruction, they were secretly confronted with a doctor. The doctor said that the king of Yan had become unconscious and exhausted by the strain of his long march.

This is one of them.

Second, according to the investigation, Princess Yan and Princess sang Yun, the daughter of King Yan, have left Mizhou and are secretly escorted by King Yan's confidants to Cangzhou.

Third, after the news spread that King Yan or fell ill due to heart disease, doctor Zheng also came forward to confirm the matter. He said that when King Yan came to Beijing, he had seen one side and looked at the changes in his facial features and earlobes, which was really very similar to the symptoms of heart disease.

There is another and most important one——

There was civil strife in the yanwang army.

The two capable Deputy generals under his command now hold nearly half of their troops. They have their own thoughts and have the intention of Annexing and removing each other. Due to the expanding civil strife, the people of the Yan army are floating, and the news that the Yan king can't afford to be seriously ill is coming out of cover.

King Yan has no children at his knees. Once he falls and the army has no lord, the situation in the army will get out of control and infighting is inevitable.

This is undoubtedly good news for the imperial court.

Even great news!

The government and the public were very relieved.

Some people say that God bless Daqing.

In the East Palace, the prince with pale lips stood in front of the window and looked at the white snow in the yard. He only felt a loss in front of him, together with his heart.

He even felt puzzled.

At present, such a Daqing, such a king, where else is worthy of God's protection?

Is this blessing or destruction?

Second uncle... Is something really wrong?

The boy was worried at the bottom of his eyes. His emotions affected his heart and brought another sharp cough.

Hearing the sound, the internal supervisor hurried over, closed the window, and helped the boy sit down by the couch with a smoking cage.

The internal prison is also worried.

The Earth Dragon is burning in the hall, but your highness is afraid of the cold and always has to put on a charcoal basin

Even so, the naked eye can see that your Highness's body is getting worse and worse this winter.

What can we do if we go on like this?

……

The news that King Yan fell ill also came into emperor Qingming's ears.

Originally, the recent political affairs will no longer be reported to the Yangxin hall. The news was brought in by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

To this end, Ming Xiaozhi also had a dispute with Xie Shoufu and his party.

At first, Mingxiao wanted to go into the heart nourishing hall to report something. He was stopped by the palace man. He asked why, and the palace man replied that his Highness the prince had told Xie Shoufu.

Mingxiao was so angry that he publicly accused cabinet officials of wrongdoing. The emperor was still there and refused to allow officials to see him. This is clearly a blatant plot. I'm afraid he has the heart of usurping power and dictatorship! Such an act is appalling and heinous!

What I said was very heavy. It was accusation, more like scolding.

Even the crown prince scolded cabinet officials.

After scolding, he broke into the heart nourishing hall. Seeing the emaciated and sick emperor, he threw himself in front of the Dragon couch and burst into tears. He denounced the bad intentions of the courtiers, resulting in the loss of the dignity of the monarch, bewitching the young prince to control political affairs and regard the way of monarchs and officials as nothing. If this goes on, he is afraid that the country will not be the country.

He cried bitterly and indignantly, as if the earth would collapse in the next moment, and the Chaoju River and mountain would collapse. The emperor Qingming on the hospital bed could not help but shed two lines of muddy tears.

"Ming Aiqing doesn't know. Now they are putting me under house arrest in disguise... They don't allow anyone to ask for me. I don't know anything about the situation outside!"

"All the ministers are watching." the imperial historian of the Ming Dynasty has firm eyes and sonorous words: "Your Majesty, don't worry. With ministers, it will be impossible for them to treat your majesty like this!"

Emperor Qingming, who was almost insane in his illness, had very red eyes and shook his hand. He seemed to be struggling to grasp the last straw: "OK... OK, mingaiqing, I believe you. Now I only believe you!"

……

Xie Shoufu and others were indignant but helpless.

In fact, Ming Xiaozhi is the censor of Zuo Du, and indeed has the power to supervise hundreds of officials——

Although his words are alarmist, they are also in fact in some ways

But what are their intentions? Don't the other party really understand?

"This is effective. It is always rigid and pedantic. I like to sing a different tune with people most! The previous advocate of peace is that I know I can't do it, but I have to go stubbornly. I stay in Qicheng for months!"

"Yes, this is a stubborn donkey. If you reason with him, he will knock you out!"

"Just stick to the principles and rules, and you can't see the situation at all!"

But he claims to be loyal only to the king. Can you say he is wrong? Can you say he has a bad heart?

Of course, there is no bad heart in itself, but if the time is wrong, the word ignorance is not the biggest bad!

Xie Shoufu also felt that there was nothing he could do about it.

This person now goes to the Yangxin hall almost every day to report things, and sometimes acts with the emperor's instructions. If they don't agree, they have to knock down a disobedient hat.

He thought about it yesterday and wanted to talk to each other for a long time, but before he had time to invite someone, the other party came first and scolded him!

At that moment, looking at the other party's saliva flying, he admitted that he was in charge——

I think he was also an imperial historian. He hasn't been afraid of anyone in the matter of scolding!

So the two scolded in the cabinet.

Other officials saw that the situation was too fierce. They were afraid that if it went on like this, in case of another human life, they gradually changed from the original helping voice to persuasion.

In the end, he lost a little

After all, he has not been a censor for many years. After leaving that circle, some heartbreaking words are unfamiliar to use. Compared with these young people who are still studying and making progress, he is old and can't keep up with the latest situation, which undoubtedly shows a decline.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is gone, and the imperial doctor is here.

Yesterday's scolding ended with this.

This makes Xie Shoufu feel that he can't lift his head today. At this time, he seldom expresses his opinions when listening to what people say.

A minister suggested that it would be better to find a mistake and smooth it down from the position of Zuo Du imperial censor, so as to save further delay.

The Minister of rites smiled bitterly at his speech.

What's wrong?

It's really not generally difficult.

On business, the censor has always been more strict with others and himself. He has always been on business and set an example.

If not, with the other party's mouth that even the emperor scolded, how can he remain in the position of zuodu censor in the ducha court until now?

This is a master who can't even catch the wrong place.

As for private morality, it's even more difficult. He doesn't care about royal clothes, nor does he love jewelry and money.

If you want to ask, do not love money, do you love sex? Do you secretly raise prostitutes, outside rooms or the like?

Oh, he doesn't even bother to marry his daughter-in-law. He can raise a ghost!

If the censor loves anything, oh, it's true. It's just the same. He loves to pick people's mistakes!

It is said that even when I am on duty or taking a bath on weekdays, I also like to wander around whose residence and listen to the views of my neighbors on the official's family; Or sit in a teahouse and restaurant for half a day and listen to some gossip in officialdom.

Isn't Princess Jing Rongchang one of the victims?

He has been relentlessly impeached for his hobby of keeping facial heads. For many years, when a new facial head was added to the long princess's house, he made a fold and made it clear how many facial heads were kept in the long princess's house. He is afraid he knows better than the long Princess himself!

Listen to your words and mine. The head of Shoufu just started to hurt again.

"Don't say any more."

He interrupted the crowd, frowned and said, "just stare at him. As long as you don't cause trouble, you don't have to pay attention."

Such a person, the more you ignore him, the more energetic he is.

Anyway, he doesn't want to be scolded by the other party!

At the heart nourishing hall, Emperor Qingming's look has improved slightly recently.

On this day, the Ming Dynasty imperial censor came to see him again. The two internal supervisors outside the temple looked at me and me. No one dared to stop you.

Hearing that King Yan was seriously ill, Emperor Qingming relieved his anger by sitting at the head of the bed and laughing: "this is the retribution of the anti thief! Even heaven can't see it!"

He is the real dragon under heaven's protection. No one can argue with him!

Those who dare to covet his position will come to no good end!

Then he asked, "what is the reaction of the Wu family and Xu family?"

"Your Majesty, now there is no action on both sides. As soon as this accident occurs, everyone is watching. No one dares to act rashly."

Emperor Qingming laughed even louder.

"I knew that without the Yan king, the Xu and Wu families would be like dogs without their owners! Without names, let's see what waves they can turn out!"

For a long time, the reason why he taboos the Xu family and the Wu family is that he taboos the Yan king, lest they fall to the Yan King together - and as long as the Yan King dies, it will be sooner or later to break the Xu and Wu families one by one!

It is true what the imperial Shi of the Ming Dynasty said. Now the rumor that King Yan is seriously ill has spread to Cangzhou. There is indeed a wait-and-see trend everywhere.

As a result, the imperial court was able to breathe a little. Many officials privately lamented that they could barely live a stable year.

Soon it will be new year's Eve.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Xu Mingyi is sorting out bookshelves in the library outside Ming's home.

Since I'm pretending to be a boy, I can't do less.

When the emperor of Ming came back from outside, he felt sorry to see that she was still busy - the little girl was so real that she worked hard enough no matter who or not.

However, the girls of the Xu family do chores under him every day. If their hands are rough and produce frostbite, the Duke of the town is afraid to settle with him.

"Well, don't clean up. Today is new year's Eve. Everyone at home has given two days off. Go back and have a rest."

Xu Mingyi put down the book in his hand and said, "I'm idle around. I just want to borrow your paper and pen."

"I need to deal with some official business. You can do it at will." the imperial Shi of the Ming Dynasty sat down after the book.

Xu Mingyi nodded. Seeing the wind outside, he wanted to close the door of the study.

Qing Jian, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had no earthworm in the house. He only burned a brazier.

She came to the door. As soon as she held the door with her hands, she saw a dark figure climbing up the stone steps.

It's Tianmu.

It went into the study, flapped its wings and jumped its feet, shaking off the snow on its claws.

Xu Mingyi took a look at the big bird's too round belly and knew that it must have just come back from rubbing the meal.

It's not just eating——

Seeing a small bamboo tube tied to the big bird's leg, she squatted down and took it off.
