The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 867: If I abandon it

After the new year, on the surface, everything seems to be in harmony.

However, as the emperor's condition slowly improved, Zi An could feel the tension in his heart.

Especially, after Lao Qi went to see the seventh prince and confirmed that the emperor's head was a little green, he told her that he wanted to enter the palace to see the emperor. Zi An felt that Lao Qi wanted to fire the first shot after this calm.

Murong Jie deliberately staggered the time when he and Zi'an entered the palace to give acupuncture. After Zi'an gave the needle and left the palace, he went to Xiwei Palace.

The guards of Xiwei Palace are now a little stricter. When the Empress Dowager was there, almost anyone could enter the palace where the emperor was, but no one bothered to enter.

When he was in better condition, he took Duke Lu to run for him. Although the minister hadn't entered the palace to ask to see him, at least Murong Jie couldn't block the news that his condition was getting better.

Gonggong Lu saw Murong Jie coming outside the hall, as if he was facing a great enemy.

He thought that Murong Jie came because of his frequent outings recently.

"Your Highness, you...why did you come here today?" Gonggong Lu was speechless.

Murong Jie even smiled at him, "This king is here to visit the emperor."

Emperor Lu was stunned, this smile... a bit weird, the lord would still smile at him?

Murong Jie not only smiled at him, but also cupped his hands and said, "This king has never officially thanked my father-in-law. Thank you for my father-in-law's help in the past. This king will remember it in my heart. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely repay."

Lu Gonggong's face paled, and if the regent lost his temper, he would not be so scary, but he was smiling at him and bowing at him again, which made his heart shudder.

He smiled reluctantly, "Your Highness is serious, but this servant has not helped you."

After speaking, he looked at the hall subconsciously, as if people might hear Murong Jie's words.

Murong Jie didn't embarrass him, but asked, "Is the emperor feeling better recently?"

"This... the situation is not very good, but it is a little better than before, and in general, it is more serious."

After Mr. Lu said this, he felt that it was a bit unnecessary. The person who knew the emperor's condition best was the princess. How could the prince not know how the emperor's condition was?

Such a desire to hide the truth made him suspicious.

"As soon as I went in, I said that this king wants to see him." Murong Jie said lightly.

Gonggong Lu was surprised. When he came to see the emperor before, he went in directly. Where does he need to communicate?

I'm so polite today, could it be...

Emperor Lu's face was pale, and he pleaded in a low voice: "My lord, you and the emperor are always brothers, please..."

Murong Jie interrupted him, "Gong Lu, go in and pass the news."

Eunuch Lu didn't go in, but actually knelt down.

Murong Jie naturally knew why.

Two reasons, either because he has been out of the palace frequently recently, and has contacted some ministers to overthrow him.

Or, he decided in his heart that he would be detrimental to the emperor.

Murong Jie stretched out his hand to help him, and said in a low voice, "If this king is really the kind of person who kills his brother and kills his monarch, Eunuch Bao won't try his best to save this king."

Lu Gonggong was shocked, looked up at Murong Jie.

"Go, let's go in and tell me, this king never takes this throne very seriously." Murong Jie said lightly.

Then Gonggong Lu became suspicious and slowly entered.

After the new year, the coldness of this winter has also subsided slightly, but the silver wire charcoal is still burning in the west hall, making the hall warm like spring.

Empress Hu Huanling was serving the emperor to drink medicine. Seeing Murong Jie coming in, she stepped aside and slipped out when she seized the opportunity.

However, she is like a humble concubine who has just entered the palace, and she doesn't have the momentum of a queen at all.

The emperor sat on the bed, with a brocade embroidered dragon and phoenix-patterned cushion tucked into his back, and his face was blue and white against the azurite satin cotton-padded coat. clear.

The spirit is really good, even the eyes are much more radiant.

Murong Jie looked at him for a moment, then cupped his hands, "See the emperor!"

"The regent is exempted from the ceremony and given a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Both of them feigned condescension.

The emperor said first, "The regent is so bold, I heard that you are promoting free medical care, but I don't know, the money in this treasury is enough for you to toss for two years?"

Murong Jie smiled slightly, "The emperor's concern is also justified. With free medical care for so many years, the money in the national treasury is really not enough."

"So, does the Regent have a countermeasure?" The emperor's expression was correct, but there was no irony.

"After two years, the medical insurance fee will be collected, and each person can enjoy free medical care for one year at 30 cents a year. However, this policy must be implemented after the emperor is in power."

The emperor's eyes were slightly sullen, "Your Majesty is a good person, so he wants me to be a bad person?"

"How could this benefit the common people's administration, how can they become bad people?" Murong Jie calmly said, "Thirty pennies is not a big burden for the common people, it's only about ten buns' money. ."

"These 30 pennies cannot fill the gaps in the expenditures for medicines and the Huimin Administration. The imperial court still needs to allocate a lot of money. Where does the money come from?"

"Your Majesty, the national treasury has a large amount of tax revenue every year. The minister believes that medical care is the most important thing, and it is a matter of great construction, which can be carried out slowly or not at the discretion."

He was talking about building some other palace and recruiting soldiers to buy weapons.

The construction of the other palace, he had seen the preliminary drawings and building materials, took three or four years, and cost about 9 million taels of silver.

The silver in the other palace is still a limited amount, but recruiting troops and buying weapons requires a lot of money every year.

The emperor's face was obviously covered with haze, "The regent is trying to block my back road."

"Your Majesty is wise, you should know that there is no way out, but the Emperor has said before that if you don't do it, you won't do it. I really don't know if the Emperor has changed or the world has changed."

The world doesn't change by itself, it's him who changes.

"The matter of other palaces can still be given up, but the regent does not know the truth of strengthening the army and prospering the country. You are from the military, and you should know how important it is for the country to be strong and strong."

"My Da Zhou's soldiers and horses are strong enough. What the emperor needs to develop now is many capable generals, instead of blindly relying on old people or people who are suspicious of the emperor. , it would be better to replace it.”

The emperor's eyes flashed, "I don't understand what the regent means."

"The emperor understands that these people, including the ministers, including the Xiao family, at the very least, are Xiao Xiao." The emperor sneered, "The regent may wish to make it clearer. Now that the regent is in power, the government is almost under control. In your hands, do you say you don't need it? As for Xiao Xiao, it's my Great Zhou's Great General, how many places has the old army penetrated? The eldest princess, if I abandon it, the princess will say a few words to me outside, and my reputation will not be defeated enough."
