On the first day of September, in the distant royal capital, the emperor was looking at the military report in his hand in the royal study, and his heart was filled with joy.
Good news!
"Okay! Great!"
The emperor was overjoyed and patted the table. He seemed to be several years younger and radiant.
Eunuch Liu, who had not seen the emperor show his face for a long time, deliberately asked in a playful manner: "Your Majesty, is this good news from Western Xinjiang?"
The emperor smiled and said: "Huairen, Mr. Huai has indeed lived up to my expectations!"
According to the victory report, after Han Huaijun led 30,000 reinforcements to Feixia Mountain, he joined forces with the Xijiang Army stationed there to fight against Xiye's army. Finally, he managed to hold Feixia Mountain and made the enemy retreat temporarily.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is all because the Emperor recognizes heroes with his wise eyes." Eunuch Liu said with a smile, which made the emperor feel even more cheerful, stroking his beard and laughing out loud.
The emperor couldn't help but lower his eyes and read the good news again, squinting slightly.
So good!
Let Han Huaijun dampen Xiye's spirit first, and then Xiye will know that Dayu is not weak and has no power to backfire. Then Dayu will propose peace talks with Xiye, and it will definitely be smoother. !
At this moment, a young chamberlain walked into the imperial study and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Prince Chu is here."
The King of Chu is the emperor's cousin, and he is an idle member of the clan. On weekdays, he likes to listen to plays, walk with birds, and play with food.
The emperor happened to be in a good mood, so he motioned to the little chamberlain to invite people in.
Soon, King Chu's hearty laughter came from outside, and a fat middle-aged man walked into the imperial study carrying a red lacquered wooden food box. He looked very kind with his squinting eyes. He came closer, saluted the emperor, and said with a smile: "Brother, I just happened to have a good cook for making snacks recently. I specially asked my brother to come and appreciate it. He is definitely no worse than the imperial chef in this palace!"
As he spoke, King Chu personally handed the food box to Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu opened the food box and took out two plates of snacks. One was lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake, and the other was pine nut milk cake. The snacks were still hot, and the alluring aroma hit his face with the heat. The snacks were well made It's exquisite.
The King of Chu smiled and said: "Brother, please give it a try."
The emperor casually twisted a piece of pine nut milk pastry and took a bite. After biting off the thin outer layer of sugar crust, the inside was soft, waxy and sweet. The aroma of milk and nuts were skillfully blended together, making it unforgettable.
The emperor praised it and said: "This pine nut milk-skin crisp is really good. Sixth brother, you are really more cunning than me."
"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Emperor." King Chu cupped his hands, then thought of something, and said, "Brother Emperor, speaking of which, I remember that the nephew of the Fifth Emperor also likes pine nut milk crust cake. I will bring some more tomorrow. ."
The emperor was stunned for a moment. What else could he say after thinking about it? He said: "Yes, I remember that Xiaowu liked the pine nut milk-skin cake the most when he was a child. At that time, he would eat a plate every day..."
"My brother also remembers..." King Chu talked casually with the emperor for a while, and then left.
When the emperor was the only one left in the imperial study, he stared at the pine nut milk skin for a long time without saying a word. Then he suddenly stood up and said: "Huairen, let's go to the study with me... take this pine nut milk skin with you." Crisp."
When Eunuch Liu heard this, he knew that the emperor wanted to bring this pine nut milk cake to the fifth prince. He responded quickly and said: "His Royal Highness the fifth prince will definitely be grateful for the emperor's loving heart." I only hope that the father and son can do this. It can turn conflicts into jade and silk.
After the emperor took Eunuch Liu and the two young eunuchs out of the imperial study, they headed towards the upper study.
The temperature in September in the Royal Capital is just right. The gentle autumn breeze blows in your face, and the gentle scent of cinnamon floats in the breeze, making you feel refreshed.
It was already past half hour, and the direction to the study room was quiet. The Taifu had already finished giving lessons to the fifth prince. There was only the fifth prince in the study room. Since Nangong Xin and Jiang Mingqing were removed from their status as study companions by the emperor, because The war in Xiye is tense, and the emperor has not yet thought about choosing a new companion for the fifth prince.
The fifth prince, Han Lingfan, is sitting behind a desk by the window. There is a torreya chessboard in front of him. He is holding the chess score in one hand and twisting a chess piece in the other, playing chess alone.
When the little chamberlain screamed, "The Emperor has arrived," Han Lingfan stood up in a hurry to greet him, lifted his robe and knelt down to salute the Emperor.
"Get up, Xiao Wu." Seeing that Han Lingfan's thin figure seemed to have lost weight again, the emperor's eyes flashed slightly and he raised his hand.
Half of the chess game on the table has been played. Thinking that the fifth prince was playing chess here alone just now, without anyone to play with, the emperor felt a little soft-hearted and said: "Sit down." Then. He made a gesture to Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu immediately took out the plate of pine nut milk crust from the food box. The emperor smiled and said: "Xiao Wu, this pine nut milk crust is good. I remember you like it the most. Please try it."
After a month and a half, the father and son sat together again to discuss the case.
The fifth prince thanked the emperor and sat down, with a bitter smile in his heart: he did like pine nut milk cake before he was seven years old, but now he is older. In the heart of the father, do you hope that these sons will never grow up...
After the father and son each ate a piece of pine nut pastry, the emperor relaxed even more. He casually picked up the black piece in the chess box and said, "Xiaowu, I'm here to play the next game."
Following this, he directly followed the half-played chess game and landed the black piece.
Han Lingfan responded and followed suit.
For a long time, the study room was quiet, except for the crisp sound of the father and son's moves... The chess game gradually came to an end, and the black and white pieces refused to give in to each other, each occupying a piece of the world...
The emperor stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, your chess skills have improved a lot. Now you can play as well as me..." Xiao Wu is indeed smart, no matter reading, playing chess, and A gentleman learns all six arts well.
Han Lingfan sat down and bowed: "Thank you very much, Father, for the compliment."
As he spoke, the emperor gave birth to another son.
Looking at the smile on the emperor's face, Han Lingfan's heart moved. Hearing that a military report from Western Xinjiang was delivered to the palace today, his father was in such a good mood. Could it be... a good report? !
That must be the case! Cousin Jun is a capable person.
Han Lingfan couldn't help but feel refreshed. Since there is good news in Western Xinjiang, then...
He hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "I see that my father is in a good mood, but is there any happy event?"
The emperor was indeed in a good mood, so he told everyone about the good news he had just received from Western Xinjiang. Han Lingfan was happy and said excitedly: "Father, this is great. Cousin Jun is so brave and good at fighting. I will definitely win." We can regain the lost city, drive Xiye's army out of our Dayu territory, and show our country's prestige!"
The emperor frowned slightly. Xiao Wu was still too naive. Han Huaijun was able to defend Feixia Mountain because Feixia Mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, Xiye only sent 80,000 troops. Once Dayu took advantage of the victory and pursued him, Xiye was angered. King, if more reinforcements are sent, Dayu may be in danger.
The emperor took a deep breath and carefully analyzed the pros and cons with Han Lingfan, and then said: "Xiaowu, as a king, the safety of the country and the governance of the country depend on one person. The late emperor was ordered by heaven to bathe in blood. We fought hard to overthrow the tyranny of the previous dynasty and unify the world. However, it is difficult to start a business and even more difficult to maintain a business. The way to be a king is to look at the overall situation and seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. If you are impulsive and rush forward, this great country will fall to the barbarian weapons. I, the Han family, are the sinners of the ages and will surely be infamous for eternity!"
Hearing this, Han Lingfan frowned, obviously disapproving. Eunuch Liu looked worried at the side. The father and son finally relaxed. Why bother to make the emperor angry again when the fifth prince ordered your highness...
Eunuch Liu winked at Han Lingfan desperately, but Han Lingfan still said: "Father, please listen to me. The evil in the Western Night has made me rich, and thousands of people in the Western Border The soldiers swore to fight to the death and sacrifice their lives for the country. Now that the morale of our Dayu army is at its peak and we are defeating the barbarians, if we seek peace at this time, wouldn't it chill the hearts of those soldiers on the border and make the people of the world think that the court is useless and beg for surrender from the barbarians?!"
Chilling, useless, begging for surrender... these words are like thousands of needles piercing the emperor's heart. The emperor's face is getting more and more ugly. He values Xiao Wu so much and takes great pains to teach him to be a king. He said, but it turns out that this is how Xiao Wu views his father, and he dares to scold and disobey himself!
No one in the civil and military dynasties dared to preach to him like this!
Perhaps the father and son had already branched off to two different roads, drifting away from each other...
I was wrong!
Xiao Wu should not be allowed to get close to the Nangong family. He should personally teach Xiao Wu. Now Xiao Wu is stubborn, unfilial and irreverent, and is hopeless...
The emperor did not speak for a while, and the father and son looked at each other for a long time. Han Lingfan did not flinch, and said sonorously and forcefully: "Father, you bowed your knees to the barbarians for the sake of peace, and paid tribute to the barbarians in order to protect your throne. This is not a great country in the Central Plains. The wind! Father, please think twice!"
The anger in the emperor's heart is getting stronger and stronger. He is really indulging Xiao Wu!
The emperor gritted his teeth and said angrily: "If Dayu's thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are handed over to you, sooner or later the land will fall apart and the country will be destroyed! In the future, I will be unworthy of my ancestors!"
Han Lingfan's face turned slightly pale, and his eyes could not hide the sadness. It was obvious that the emperor's words hurt him deeply.
He was silent for a while, with thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind. Finally, he clenched his fists, looked up at the emperor, and said seriously:
"Father, if this is the case, then there is no need for the father to hand over the country to my son. I believe that in life, I should do something and not do something, and I don't want to go against my true intention!"
"You!"
The emperor was so angry that he stood up. His face turned blue, purple, and white, changing several times. The veins on his forehead floated and his breathing became rapid...
Eunuch Liu saw something was wrong and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor was already out of breath. He clutched his chest and fell towards the chair behind him. Bang, his body hit the desk, and the chess game on the chessboard was instantly disrupted. , like this study room...
"Your Majesty!"
"Father!"
Nervous exclamations sounded one after another in the upper study room, and everyone became a mess. Eunuch Liu and a young chamberlain hurriedly helped the unconscious emperor, and sat down with his limp body...
Han Lingfan's face was completely drained of color, and he was even more uneasy in his heart. He hurriedly ordered: "Quick! Go and ask for the imperial doctor!"
A young chamberlain hurried away, and Han Lingfan clenched his fists tightly.
The air in the study room was heavy. After a while, Dr. Wu and Dr. Zhang from the Imperial Hospital came after hearing the news. They immediately diagnosed the emperor's pulse. Both of them looked solemn and said that the emperor seemed to have a stroke. How many years has the emperor been? I had a stroke before, and this time it was a relapse...
After Dr. Wu gave the emperor acupuncture, he sent the emperor back to his palace. Han Lingfan naturally went with him. He was almost overwhelmed with guilt. This was all his fault. If his father had If anything happens, then he will be blamed for his own death...
The news of the emperor's death spread to every corner of the palace as if it had wings. In addition to the imprisoned Prince Cheng, the Prince of Shun Commandery, Han Lingguan, the young Sixth Prince, several princesses, and all the concubines The concubine and some clan members came after hearing the news. For a while, the emperor's palace became a mess, and many people were buzzing like headless flies...
Until the queen came out of the emperor's bedroom and said loudly to the noisy crowd outside: "The emperor is in urgent need of rest now, everyone should go back first."
After the others looked at each other, they bowed to the queen and prepared to leave...
At this moment, a young male voice asked: "Mother, do you dare to ask why my father suddenly suffered a stroke? My father was obviously fine and full of energy during the morning!"
Everyone couldn't help but follow the sound and saw Han Lingguan, the king of Shun County, walking up to the queen and looking directly into the queen's eyes. Han Lingguan was followed by several clan members, and he seemed to be very aggressive.
The queen's expression changed slightly, and she felt a little panicked. Of course she knew that the emperor fainted in the study room, and Xiao Wu was beside the emperor at that time.
The queen frowned and raised her voice in a feigned anger: "Han Lingguan, your father is ill and you are still making a fuss here. It is really unfilial!" She raised her right arm and said angrily. He said, "Come here, why don't you throw Prince Shun out of the palace!"
Han Lingguan did not show any timidity. Instead, he took a step closer and said, "Mother, there is no need to blame me! I am just concerned about why my father suddenly fell ill!"
"Prince Shun is right, the Queen is exaggerating." A middle-aged fat man walked out from behind Han Lingguan, it was the King of Chu, and he echoed loudly.
A flash of light flashed in Han Lingguan's eyes. He looked at the few servants on the side and asked, "How do you servants serve my father? Well, how could my father suffer a stroke?!"
His voice was so aggressive that it frightened the few servants to tremble all over. They all lowered their eyes and did not dare to speak.
"Second Emperor Brother," Han Lingfan's voice came from behind the queen. He walked out of the emperor's bedroom and looked at Han Lingguan with a gloomy face, "Father just went to the study room to meet with me... ”
"Xiao Wu!" The queen's face changed drastically and she hurriedly interrupted Han Lingfan.
For Han Lingguan, this sentence was enough. He did not press Han Lingfan, but directly said to a young chamberlain aged fourteen or fifteen: "Xiao Huazi, tell me! What is going on? ?"
The little chamberlain named Xiao Huazi moved his lips and finally muttered: "Yes... His Highness the Fifth Prince had an argument with the Emperor... and the Emperor fainted..."
Although the young chamberlain did not explicitly say that the fifth prince was so angry that he fainted the emperor, the implication was clear.
The surroundings were silent for a moment, and there were several gasps in the room. Everyone looked at Han Lingfan in disbelief.
Han Lingguan frowned and looked at Han Lingfan, and asked angrily: "Fifth Emperor Brother, is this really happening?"
Han Lingfan lowered his head, his whole body trembling slightly, and did not defend himself.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a green brocade robe of the Grand Master came over and smoothed things over: "The emperor's sister-in-law, the second nephew, the fifth nephew, the emperor is ill. Now is not the time to blame each other. The top priority is We need to cure the emperor’s dragon body first.”
Several cabinet ministers had also arrived one after another at this time. The Minister of Industry agreed and said: "The prince is right. It's just that the emperor is seriously ill, but this state affairs cannot be delayed. Who should supervise the country?"
Several other cabinet ministers also looked at each other. Gu Mo and Li Heng thought of something and secretly thought that something was wrong.
The Minister of Rites said: "The last time the emperor was ill, Prince Gong was in charge of the country, but now Prince Gong has gone to Western Xinjiang..."
"It is natural that His Highness the Fifth Prince will supervise the country." En Guo Gong hurriedly suggested, "His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is the legitimate son and is orthodox..."
"Your Majesty's words are wrong," the Minister of Works lightly interrupted Mr. En, "His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is sick because of his unfilial piety. How can he imprison the country for his crime! Now Chengjun County Wang Shang is imprisoned, and His Highness the Sixth Prince is young, so I believe that Prince Shun is the most suitable candidate." As he spoke, he looked at Cheng Dongyang, the chief assistant on his right, and said, "What do you think, Mr. Cheng? ”
Cheng Dongyang glanced around the crowd with a serious expression. Just as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry said, in fact everyone knows that there is no other candidate for the royal capital except Han Lingguan, the king of Shun County.
"Your Majesty," Cheng Dongyang's eyes fell on Han Lingguan, and he bowed deeply, "The Emperor is ill, but the country cannot be left without a master for a day, so please ask Your Majesty to take charge of the overall situation for the Emperor!"
The whole room fell silent again, and then the Minister of Industry, the Minister of Rites, and several clan members bowed and bowed in unison.
Except for Duke En Guo, the Queen, Gu Mo, Li Heng and others, almost everyone else gathered around Han Lingguan and bowed to him.
At first glance, Han Ling stood out from the crowd and was high-spirited.
At this moment, the overall situation has been decided!
Han Lingguan was silent for a long time. After a while, he sighed helplessly and bowed humbly: "For the sake of my father and for the sake of Dayu, I will temporarily supervise the country on my father's behalf."
As he talked about it later, his tone became more and more decisive and decisive!
Dong En Guo, the Queen, Gu Mo, Li Heng and others all looked gloomy, but they were helpless and could not find any reason to oppose Han Ling's supervision of the country.
Once Han Lingguan gains power, life will probably be difficult for them...
What happened this time was too sudden. Both parties were not fully prepared and failed to react in time. As a result, they were at a disadvantage and could only sit back and watch as the situation turned one-sided in Han Lingguan's favor.
After burning the incense, everyone left the emperor's palace one after another. The queen, Duke En Guo and the fifth prince Han Lingfan went to the queen's Fengluan Palace.
The atmosphere in the palace was very depressing. Duke Enguo calmed down and asked Han Lingfan carefully about what happened. Han Lingfan told him one by one, feeling guilty, and finally said: "Mother, grandfather, all this is mine. It’s my fault...”
"Your Highness, I always feel that something is not right..." Duke Enguo frowned. The emperor's stroke happened so suddenly that they had no time to deal with it, but just now Prince Shun seemed to have a plan in mind, and he took one step at a time. Walking smoothly!
Han Lingfan's face was slumped, and he looked completely lost, his soul wandering to nowhere...
Gong Enguo pondered for a moment and then said: "Queen, is it possible that there is someone from Prince Shun in the palace who told Prince Shun about the emperor's fainting early so that he could be prepared?"
Looking at Han Lingfan's haggard look, the queen was heartbroken and said without thinking: "Father, in my opinion, Han Lingguan must have deliberately framed Xiao Wu. He wanted to take control of the court while Han Lingfu was away. , intending to rebel!"
The queen was so angry that she gritted her teeth and looked excited.
"Queen, don't be impatient. At this time, we must be calm. We can't make any more mistakes." Duke Enguo patiently comforted the queen and said, "His Royal Highness the fifth prince is the legitimate son of Dayu, and he is by no means a mere concubine. Nothing can replace it."
The queen responded, but her face was still as dark as water. The emperor was still unconscious, his condition was unknown, and the situation was not optimistic. How could she calm down.
After a few more words of comfort to the queen, Duke Enguo left in a hurry. He must contact someone as soon as possible to find a way to reverse the situation!
"Fan'er..." The queen called Han Lingfan gently, trying to persuade him to rest for a while, but she saw Han Lingfan suddenly kneeling on the ground.
"Mother, my son is unfilial and makes my father sick, and makes my mother worry about her son..."
"Fan'er!" The queen leaned over to protect Han Lingfan and tried to comfort him, "This is not your fault, and you didn't want to..."
At this moment, the queen's heart was filled with resentment and resentment against the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor, how could her Fan'er be forced to this point!
