I don't know if there is too much cold wind. Dongfang Su bends down and coughs. When he coughs violently, his face turns red like cinnabar. It's very frightening.

Zhang Jin quickly closed the window, helped him to the chair and stroked his back. For a long time, Dongfang Suo stopped coughing. Leaning in the chair, he couldn't breathe, and there were layers of cold sweat on his forehead.

Zhang Jin made a cup of hot tea for him, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to send doctor Ji to have a look?"

"No, I'm fine." Although I had a rest for a while, I still had some unevenness in my breath.

"But..."

"Well, I say it's OK. There are so many but." Dongfang Su impatiently interrupts Zhang Jin. He takes the cup and drinks it. His fingers tremble slightly, causing some tea to spill on his hand.

Although Zhang Jin was worried, Dongfang Su was determined, and he didn't dare to say more. He knew that his Majesty was afraid of the imperial concubine. Every time Chengde palace passed the imperial doctor, the most nervous person was the imperial concubine, who stayed with him all night.

After drinking tea, Dongfang Su said, "how's Yu Heng recently?"

"Your Highness is busy with his business every day. In addition, he goes to Changxin hall and Yilan hall to say hello." With that, Zhang Jin thought of one thing, "by the way, did you go to Jingfang Zhai on the tenth day of the first lunar month?"

"Jing Fang Zhai?" Dongfang was a little surprised.

"Yes. The tenth day of August is the Empress Dowager's birthday. Both her highness and the prince have gone. The Empress Dowager keeps them for lunch, but the prince is busy and comes back without lunch. "

Dongfang stroked his forehead. "I'm busy attacking the Western Chu these days. I've forgotten my mother's birthday. Tomorrow morning, you go to the inner storeroom to pick out some suitable birthday gifts and send them on my behalf."

Zhang Jin said with a smile: "don't worry, your majesty. Your concubine has already sent it for you. A pair of white jade, a red sandalwood screen and a set of Hetian seed jade jewelry are all favored by the Empress Dowager."

"She did." Speaking of Mu Qianxue, dongfangsu looks very gentle.

Zhang Jin said with a smile: "your concubine always has a heart, especially to your majesty. Your majesty and your concubine are really a couple of immortals. I don't know how many people are envied inside and outside the palace."

Dongfang Su glanced at him and said with a smile: "this mouth is playing more and more neatly."

Zhang Jinlian said hurriedly, "I'm telling you the truth. I didn't say anything false. When I entered the palace a few days ago, I heard him talk about it."

"Come on, put your mouth down. Don't play tricks in front of me." Having said that, Dongfang Su also threw a jade wrench at him. It was obvious that Zhang Jingang's words were in his favor.

Zhang Jin was about to thank him with his finger in his hand. The shrill voice of the palace people came from outside. "I'll tell your majesty that the Empress Dowager is coming."

Dongfang Suo was very surprised. Just now, he said that it was a coincidence that it happened in a flash. He asked Zhang jinnu. The latter understood and quickly stepped forward to open the Palace door and invited empress dowager Chen into the palace.

"I've met my mother." Dongfang Su got up and gave a salute. When he was seated again, he asked, "how can mother come here at this time? It's cold outside. If you catch cold, how can it be good? "

Empress Dowager Chen folded her sleeves and said with a smile, "the AI family wanted to come here in the evening. She was afraid that it would disturb the emperor's handling of state affairs, so she didn't disturb him. Just now when the rain stopped, she asked Feng Chuan to help the AI family come out for a walk. When she passed the Chengde hall, she saw that the lights were still on. She guessed that the Emperor didn't sleep, so she came in to have a look." She looked at the neatly stacked memorials on the table and said, "have you read them all?"

"Yes." Dongfang Su answered simply and said, "mother just said that she wanted to come here in the evening, but what's the matter?"

"There are some things." Empress Dowager Chen took the tea from Zhang Jin, opened the lid of the cup, and put a batch of tea foam on it. "The day before yesterday was the birthday of the mourning family. Yu Henghe and Yu Huai came to celebrate the mourning family's birthday."

Dongfang Su arched his hand and said, "my son is busy these days. He forgot his mother's birthday. Please forgive me."

Empress Dowager Chen said with a smile, "I understand. So I didn't let anyone tell you. I'm afraid I'll disturb you." After a meal, she said: "when Yu Heng stayed for dinner, he talked with AI Jia about the attack on the Western Chu. When does the emperor plan to go to war?"

"Late September." As soon as dongfangsu's voice fell, Empress Dowager Chen asked, "have all the people chosen?"

"We've already got 7788. Lao Jiu leads the army, and Zhang Xiang is the commander. He'll go out with us."

Empress Dowager Chen nodded and said, "with their two leaders, plus guns and artillery, it should not be difficult to capture Yingtian." Then she lifted her eyes and fell on dongfangsu. "The emperor has always been wise. Can you guess what the AI family will say next?"

Dongfang Su said quietly: "is it related to Yu Heng?"

"Yes, Yu Heng wants to go to war very much. He hopes that the AI family will help him to tell the truth and ask the emperor to give him a chance."

"No way." Dongfangsu rejected empress dowager Chen's words without thinking, but the latter was not surprised. "Are you worried about Yu Heng?"

"No wonder the mother is not worried?" dongfangsu asked

"He is the grandson of the AI family. Why don't you worry about it? What's more, he just happened to Yu Jin..." When it comes to Yu Jin, Empress Dowager Chen sighs and expresses her sadness.After a while, Empress Dowager Chen wiped a tear from the corner of her eyes and said, "the AI family, like the emperor, was firmly opposed, but after carefully listening to Yu Heng's words, the AI family felt that it should be done."

"So the queen mother is here to be a lobbyist tonight?" Dongfang Su said calmly

The Empress Dowager Chen did not answer his words, but recalled the past, "the AI family remembers that when you first went to the war, the AI family was also worried, unable to eat and sleep all day long. When you came back, they lost a lot of weight. At that time, what the AI family was most afraid of was that the emperor asked you to go to the war, but later the AI family gradually realized that you could not live in the shelter of the AI family all your life Under the protection, sooner or later, you need to go out of your own way. In this case, why don't you go a little earlier, at least you can take care of the mourning family

Dongfang looked down and said, "what the mother said is very true, but Yu Heng was different from his son in that year."

"What's the difference?"

"In those days, Wei's mother and son were in charge of the government and were dictatorial. We were helpless and had to risk ourselves. Now our internal affairs are peaceful. As for foreign affairs, in my lifetime, I will help Yu Henghe and Yu Huai to pacify the world and unify the whole world. There is no need for them to risk anything."

"Can the emperor guarantee peace both inside and outside for the next ten or several decades?" Empress Dowager Chen's face was a little blurred in the dense tea mist. "No, it's better to have some experience earlier than to let them deal with it in a hurry. With Lao Jiu and Zhang Xiang, it will be OK."

Dongfang Su is indifferent. He knows that empress dowager Chen's words are reasonable, but he still doesn't intend to let Yu Heng go out to fight.

Seeing his thoughts, Empress Dowager Chen sighed, "I know that the emperor is for Yu Heng's good, but has the emperor ever thought about it? Is this really what Yu Heng wants?"
