  6th month 9

  Ganquan Palace

  Just after lunch, the Empress Dowager is very good, and she will be taken to the bed by Noz Wenzheng, who was born only for more than three months. It seems that because of the Empress Dowager, the young Prince was very happy and even laughed.

  After birth, Noz Wenzheng was sent to the Emquan Dowager's palace, Ganquan Palace, and raised by the Empress Dowager. But the Empress Dowager has become worse and worse in recent years, and most of the time she can only lie in bed, unable to look after the Prince. The prince can only be handed over to several palace ladies and two nurses. The Empress Dowager was ordered to hold the Prince to his pillow when he was in good shape every day. The little prince can't be too embarrassed by the Empress Dowager, rarely crying, the palace ladies and the nurses are very relaxed.

  The Empress Dowager was also very happy to see the baby's smile. She gently touched the forehead of the prince with her hand as usual, and whispered in her mouth: "The grandson is so beautiful, the grandson looks so beautiful."

  Nanny answer, then said: "Of course, the emperor' is powerful and handsome, the empress is also dignified and beautiful, His Royal Highness Prince inherited their genes, naturally good looking!"

  The Empress Dowager was very happy, but in the end it was often lamented: "I really want to watch my grandchildren grow up!"

  The nurse didn't know how to comfort. At this time, the Prince took a hand to grab the Empress Dowager's hand. It looked very cute and made her laugh, even though her laughter was mixed with cough.

  After playing with the Prince for half an hour, the Empress Dowager suddenly coughed up and fell to the bed in a moment and fell into a coma. More than a dozen doctors immediately rushed to the palace, but they were helpless.

  The emperor returned to Ganquan Palace from Ying Tomb immediately after receiving the report. Looking at his comatose mother, his heart was anxious, but he was helpless.

  Director Gao came to the emperor said: "Your Majesty, please do not worry that you pay attention to your body!"

  The emperor lamented and said helplessly: "Let them all go."

  Director Gao waved his hand to the doctors who were not far away. The doctors quit the Ganquan Palace after the ceremony. Other palace ladies and eunuchs also subsequently withdrew from the palace, leaving only the Emperor and the Director Gao to guard the Empress Dowager.

  The young Prince has been sent back to the temple, sleeping alone and quietly. Because the Empress Dowager was in a coma, everyone was busy with her, and the Prince was not taken care of. When the night arrives, the little baby is still asleep, there is no light in the house, only the moonlight inside the window.

  Suddenly, two figures came to the room of the Prince. One of them said, "Are you thinking about it? Do you really want to do this? He is only three months old!"

  Another person sighed and said: "We can't wait any longer, no time."

  The former man shook his head helplessly, slowly taking out a jade box and handing it over to another person. He did not open it, but instead put Reiki into the jade box. After a while, a soul floated out of the jade box, but it did not form agglomerated, it looked like a golden smog.

  A thick voice was heard in the golden smoke: "Is this child?"

  The person holding the jade box replied respectfully: "Yes, it took us a few years to find only this suitable child."

  The golden smoke said coldly: "If it weren't for nearly a hundred years of endless fighting between The Loong Bloodman, how can one let a child do this... I hope the child is the right person, or else..."

  The golden smoke didn't go any further, but both of them knew what he meant.

  Another person said: "We have repeatedly tested his blood. He should be the most suitable for these centuries, just... his age... is too small."

  "We can't manage that much now!" said the man with the jade box: "The most important thing now is to help you recover. At that time, the world will return to its original peace!"

  "The original peace? Was there a peace in this continent?" The golden smoke sighed and pressed the fire, and then said: "There is no other way! But I have used it for thousands of years to recover. The wound in my body has healed, but my soul is too weak to return to the body. Just need him to help me absorb some soul power, no longer as dangerous as before. ”

  Both people on the scene hope so.

  Depending on the young Noz Wenzheng, the golden smoke reluctantly continued: "He is really too weak and will take a long time. Of course, he needs to be able to reach the realm as soon as possible. If it goes well, he will be The last one, and the only one who can still live."

  After that, the golden smoke returned to the jade box, and the jade box slowly opened itself, which gave off golden light. Something flew out of the jade box with golden light, flew to the prince, and slowly disappeared into his eyebrows and disappeared. The young prince was still asleep, but after a while he cried. Looking at the golden light hidden into the heart of the eldest son, the two black shadows put away the jade box, exited the room and disappeared into the night.

  The prince was crying, and several ladies and nurses rushed to hear. Bedwetting? Look at the bed, the bed is dry. Hungry? Can feed him without milk. Several palace ladies and nurses stayed up all night, but they could not calm him down.

  Until the next morning, the sun is about to rise, the Prince is still crying. It may be that the Empress Dowager was noisy, and the Empress Dowager woke up.

  The emperor, who was at the bedside, hurried forward and said, "Mother, you are awake!"

  The Empress Dowager barely squeezed a smile, nodded slightly to the emperor, heard the cry outside, and asked with a weak voice: "Is it Wenzheng?"

  The emperor replied: "Yes."

  "Cry so badly, the scorpion is dumb." The Empress Dowager said with a heartache.

  "He has been crying all night, and no one can do anything." The emperor replied.

  "Hold him... show me." The Empress Dowager coughed again.

  "But, your body..." The emperor was hesitant.

  The Empress Dowager shook her head, her eyes were a bit sloppy, but her attitude was firm. The Emperor had no choice but to kill the Prince.

  After the palace lady took the baby, the Empress Dowager asked her to put him on the side of the pillow, laboriously raise her hand and put it on the forehead of her little grandson. The prince actually stopped crying and slowly fell asleep.

  Seeing this, the emperor first breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately asked with concern: "Mother, are you okay?"

  The Empress Dowager shook her head slightly and said to the emperor: "Don't worry! I can't die for a while. You didn't sleep all night, go back to rest. Wenzheng lives here, nothing will happen. ”

  His Majesty the Emperor also accompanied the Queen Mother for a while, watching the Empress Dowager need a rest, he left the palace.

  ～～～＊～～＊～＊～＊～～＊～～～

  The early morning of the next day, this is the first morning meeting in more than three months. All the civil and military officials were present. The emperor slowly walked down to the throne and sat down. All the officials bowed their heads together and shouted in unison: "My emperor is long lived!"

  The emperor on the throne said in a majestic manner: "Get up!"

  After the officials got up, they were divided into two classes. On the left were the civil servants, and on the right were the military officers, but no one spoke, and the court was very quiet.

  Director Gao, standing next to the emperor, looked at the wrong atmosphere and had to shout: "Whoever has important
things, please do it soon. If there is no need to report, the meeting will end."

  No one is talking at the scene.

  The Emperor was a little angry, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you really have nothing to report?"

  Still quiet, the Emperor slammed the arm of the throne and got up to leave.

  At this time, Gan Long, who was a prime minister, turned his head slightly and glanced at someone behind him. An imperial censor named Zhang stood up and shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor, I have important things to report! "

  The emperor could only sit down again with the anger of his heart and ask, "What do you want to report?"

  Then the imperial censor continued: "There are a lot of arguments about the Queen's Mausoleum, and the people have commented that the Queen was directly buried in the Imperial Tomb to violate the rules of the ancestors..."

  Bang…………

  Emperor slammed a throne handrail, who interrupted the words of officials.

  Seeing that the emperor was angry, the civil and military officials were kneeling down and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry!"

  The Emperor looked down at the ministers of His Majesty, pressing the anger in his heart and said with anger:"People's arguments? Aren't you guys talking about it? The rules of the ancestors? Whose ancestors? When did my ancestors leave such an ancestral training? Where can I decide if my queen is buried? My ancestors opposed it. Naturally, my elders came to me. Do you need to ask questions? Are you against the Queen everywhere, isn’t it because she is a civilian? She is no longer alive, can't you let her go? ”

  The ministers who are squatting dare to speak.

  The emperor glanced at the officials again and said: "The queen has been buried, who is opposed to the Queen's tomb, beheaded!"

  The squatting officials shouted in unison: "We must follow the orders of the emperor!"

  The Emperor took a few deep breaths and flattens the anger in his heart, slowly saying:"The Queen just passed away. My heart is weak and my body is very uncomfortable and needs rest. The Empress Dowager has recently been unwell and needs me to take care of her. Therefore, the morning meeting will be exempted. If there is no major matter, the government will hand it over to Prime Minister and Chief General. ”

  When the words were not finished, the ministers whispered. Du Zhi - Chief General and Gan Long - Prime Minister look at each other, they all saw the suspicious color in the other's eyes, but they didn't say anything.

  After looking at nearly a hundred officials, the emperor really did not want to stay and said: "Okay, I am tired! Since there is nothing else, then dissolve!"

  Then he got up and walked to the harem.

  Director Gao shouted: "Your Majesty start off!"

  Officials kowtowed once again and shouted in unison, "Long live my emperor!"

  Officials left the court one after another and discussed in twos and threes as they walked.

  Officials left the court and discussed it in twos and threes.Du Zhi and Gan Long looked at each other and each snorted and turned to go in two different directions.

  Wangyi Palace

  After dinner, Princess Cai sat on the right side of the living room, finished the last soup, handed the medicine bowl to a nearby palace lady, and gently wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. Look at her expression and know that the soup is really hard to drink.

  Sitting on the side of Lv Wenxin asked: "Your body has been a lot better recently."

  Princess Cai nodded gently and replied: "Yes! My illness is almost better. But the doctor still wants me to take the medicine for two more days."

  "That is to consolidate the condition, you will have to endure for a few more days," Lyu Wenxin said.

  Princess Cai sighed softly and said, "But this medicine is too difficult to drink!"

  Lyu Wenxin pointed to the tray on the table and said, "So I brought some candy from home."

  After seeing the candy, Princess Cai was happy and asked, "Is it done by my mother?"

  Lyu Wenxin said with a smile: "Yes!"

  "It’s still the mother who hurts me the most!" Princess Cai laughed like a child.

  "What about me?" Lyu Wenxin asked with a smile.

  "Father loves me too!" Princess Cai replied with a smile.

  A palace lady behind her took out a candy and sent it to Princess Cai in a respectful manner. Princess Cai ate happily.

  Watching Princess Cai eat for a while, Lyu Wenxin said: "The things of the morning meeting are well known throughout the city."

  Princess Cai is still eating sugar intently and casually said: "Your Majesty really gave up his power."

  Lyu Wenxin shook his head and said, "I don't know when will you release your power?"

  "The right to hand over, it is very difficult to recover! The two old guys will not be so easy to let go." She said while continuing to eat their own candy.

  Yichun Palace

  In the martial arts room, Princess Wu wore a training uniform and practiced martial arts while talking to her father: "How can the emperor hand over the power so easily?"

  Wang Yuan said: "What else? When the former emperor was in office, the military power was always in the hands of Chief General, and the civil servant has always been respected by the prime minister. Every time there is a big event, it is the decision of the two old things! His Majesty has been trying to take power back for so many years, but he has never done it. In the past, the two old guys wanted to compete for the position of the prince for their grandson, and they would respect the emperor on the surface. His Majesty that may actually stand a newborn boy for the Prince, which at the same time offend them both, how there may be a better life? In the past three months, His Majesty was not in the capital, and Chief General and Prime Minister had a lot of small moves. Now, my Majesty has already been completely emptied. ”

  Princess Wu ended up practicing martial arts and walked to the table next to him, sighing and saying: "The hope that Wensu won the throne is even smaller!"

  “It’s not necessarily a bad thing for Prince Wensu.” Wang Yuan also went to the table, picked up a teacup and drank a cup of tea.

  “Well? Why?” Princess Wu asked suspiciously.

  Wang Yuan slowly sat down in the chair next to him and said slowly: "If there is no Crown Prince, Chief General and Prime Minister are fighting for the crown prince, the first target is our Prince Wensu. Now, they will definitely deal with the crown prince first. Prince Wensu will not be threatened for at least a short period of time. ”

  Princess Cai sat next to her father, singing tea and meditating.

  Qutai Palace

  In the living room, Princess Rong, who walked around, her expression was dignified. Finally, she sat on the side of Gan Long and said, "Father, does the emperor really think so?"

  Gan Long said: "It must be like this. Otherwise why is it so easy to give all the power to us? He is only trying to make us both fight, and when we lose both, he has the opportunity to get rid of us. Can his childish tricks survive the old man? ”

  Gently nodded, Princess Rong's face was still dignified, said: "The emperor wants to get rid of us?"

  Gan Long said with a smile: "My Majesty has long seen us these old things are not pleasing to the eye! But what can he do? No one in the government listened to his orders. So he just wanted to take this opportunity to let us fight. ”

  "But we really have a winner, can he take back the power?" asked Princess Rong.

  Gan Long said with a smile: "Of course not, but he has no other way, just try it."

  "Since you have guessed his intentions, how can you do what he wants?" Princess Rong asked again.

  Gan Long sneered and said: "I don't know, but Chief General doesn't think so!"

  Princess Rong has some doubts: "Isn't that old guy not stupid?"

  Gan Long sighed and said: "He is not stupid, he is just too confident! He believes that by controlling the army, he can easily remove us. ”

  Princess Rong said: "In my opinion,
he is just conceited!"

  Gan Long smiled and didn't speak.

  Linguang Palace

  Princess Rong and her father Du Zhi are drinking. Princess Rong raised the glass and said to Du Zhi: "Father, His Majesty has given up power so quickly!"

  Du Zhi also raised his glass and gently touched the bottle of Princess Rong. He said with a smile: "What else can he do? Power is always in the hands of me and Gan Lao."

  Princess Rong asked: "What do we do? Really have to fight with them to lose both sides? ”

  “Ha ha!” Du Zhi laughed loudly: “Whatever both loses! They don't deserve it! In the past, for Wenjia to get the position of the crown prince, I can't do too much, just to be so tolerant to them. Now that has happened, to see how I deal with them! ”

  Princess Rong said: "Father, we can not be careless!"

  Du Zhi smiled and said: "Reassured, I know the sense of proportion in my heart."

  After that, the two continued to drink.

  After the morning meeting, the emperor did not go out of his own palace, nor did he deal with the political affairs. The legendary emperor’s majesty is either drunk or awake every day, or playing in the skirt.

  9th month 21

  Ganquan Palace

  It is already late autumn, the weather has cooled, and the leaves of the trees in the palace have fallen. At night, there are large clouds of dark clouds flowing in the sky, and the moon is blocked from time to time.

  The Empress Dowager drank the last soup, handed the medicine bowl to the palace lady on the side, took the glass of water handed over by the palace lady, gently sipped a small mouth, and exchanged the cup for the palace lady. After the palace lady put the water on the table on the side, she slid down the Empress Dowager and covered her quilt.

  The Empress Dowager asked softly: "Would Wenzheng sleep?"

  The palace lady replied: "Return to the Empress Dowager, his Royal Highness has fallen asleep. In the past few days, His Royal Highness the Prince has been crying a lot, and at night he can sleep until dawn. ”
