Chapter 820: Hunger Strike
Apart from a crazy fourth prince, the emperor was the only one who was left with Yan Mu, and he could only be named the crown prince, but at this critical moment, it was a bit intriguing.
After receiving the order, Liu Yunxiang asked Feng Zheng to guard the palace gate, and Xu Yanmu would send someone to pass on the message.
It was dark and Yan Mu did not come back, but Feng Zheng brought the letter back.
"Your Highness said that he will not go back to the palace tonight, so he will not worry about anything, he will be able to deal with it."
Liu Yunxiang changed his mind, "What else is there?"
Feng Zheng thought for a while and said, "I met many people from the ministers' houses waiting there at the entrance of the palace. Some of them said that they would not go back to the house tonight, but they didn't know what was going on inside."
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "That must be something big happened."
However, since Yan Mu said he could handle it, Liu Yunxiang would have rested first. After working hard these days, she would have to rest well for the children in her belly.
For three consecutive days, Yan Mu did not return to the mansion. Feng Zheng went to the palace gate every day to wait, and the letters he brought back were told to her not to worry.
"Those ministers are still there?"
"Released some."
"Come out?"
"I said I was fainted from hunger, but I couldn't ask a single question."
After three days of rest, Liu Yunxiang also recovered. After a simple dressing up, she brought Zijin and Feng Zheng to the palace.
Outside the study room, more than ten ministers were sitting in the courtyard. At this time, when summer was in, they were exposed to the sun. Just as she entered the door, a minister fainted.
The guards next to him were well trained and rushed forward to lift the people out. The others still didn't move, and even some of them could hardly hold on. They were shaking and still gritted their teeth and persevered.
There was water and food in front of them, but no one took a sip or moved his mouth.
The door of Shangshu was closed and there were guards guarding outside. At this time, the door opened and Shangguan Xu walked out.
"My dear sir, it's been three days since you can't get into it, so is the prince. You can't stand it anymore, and the prince will not be able to stand it anymore. Please come back, sir, it's not something that can be solved in a day or two. Why do you force Your Highness like this?" Shangguan Xu said bitterly.
Leading the Cabinet Grand Secretary Wu Min, who was in his fifties and was wearing a breathable court suit. Although his sweat made his clothes soaked, he sat straight, with a firm face and a very literary character.
"Please take care of your health. We are useless, so we can only share your worries with this."
"You guys are not sharing your worries. This is to put Your Highness on the fire and roast it!"
"The Lord Shangguan is so serious, and we are clearly the ones who roast on the fire."
As soon as Wu Min finished speaking, someone shouted inside: "No, Your Highness fainted, go and find the Imperial Doctor!"
Shangguan Xu was in a hurry to run back, and stopped to the door, and turned around and shouted at the ministers: "My ministers, the emperor is already ill. Now he is the crown prince. If you force him out, then our great honor will be really over!"
After saying that, Shangguan Xu hurriedly ran in.
When Liu Yunxiang heard this, she was naturally anxious and hurriedly ran in. The person guarding Shangguan Xu was the one who saw that it was her. When she saw that it was her, she opened the door and let her go into the theater.
Liu Yunxiang ran into the inner room in a hurry, but saw Yan Mu leaning against the Arhat bed and eating melon seeds, with herbal tea and iced fruits placed next to him. It would be as comfortable as possible and comfortable as possible.
Seeing Liu Yunxiang come in, Yan Mu exclaimed, "Why are you here?"
Liu Yunxiang's heart suddenly fell to the ground. She couldn't help but glared at Yan Mu, "Are you worried about you?"
"Don't you pass the message and tell you not to worry?"
"I'm afraid you will not report good news."
"I'm not such a person."
Seeing that Liu Yunxiang was about to get angry, Yan Mu hurriedly got up and pulled her over, let her lean on the Arhat bed, and picked up an iced plum. He was about to send it to Liu Yunxiang's mouth, but remembered that she was pregnant and could not eat too much ice, so he put it in his arms.
He gave it to Liu Yunxiang because he was not so cold.
"The tribute is indeed sweet, please try it."
Liu Yunxiang took a bite and it was sweet and sour, but it was just right for her taste. As she ate it, Yan Mu didn't wipe her mouth. When she finished eating, he reached out to pick up the fruit core and gave her another warm one.
"Your Highness, the effect is still there, and two of them left." Shangguan Xu rolled his eyes and said.
Yan Mu gritted his teeth, "Only two left?"
"yes."
"These civil officials are really difficult to deal with!"
Liu Yunxiang thought that the ministers he saw when he entered the courtyard just now were all civil officials.
"What happened?" she asked.
Yan Mu didn't want her to worry, but not saying it would only make her more worried, so he shrugged and said, "It's not a big deal. On the day you returned to Beijing, news came from the southern prefecture that the Southern Jin suddenly invaded the Ling'an Pass. After a fierce battle, the Ling'an army was defeated and abandoned the pass and fled. Nan Jin went north and occupied Ling'an City."
When Liu Yunxiang heard this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and recalled her previous life. In fact, it was a year later than the northern expedition of Southern and Jin.
In the last life, the Southern Jin took advantage of the riots in Darong Nanzhou and attacked the Yangtze River all the way to the Yangtze River. As long as you cross the river, you could go straight to Shengjing. At that time, the Three Kingdoms were only aligned. Although they later curbed the invasion of the Southern Jin Dynasty, they also gave up more than a dozen cities south of the Yangtze River.
Since then, Darong was divided, the court suffered heavy damage, and the people were displaced. When she died, she still couldn't recover. At that time, she could already see Darong's energy. In a few years, it would be eroded by the Southern Jin, Western Yue and Northern Jin.
The reason why it was one year late was that the Nanzhou riots did not drag the entire Darong into the battle situation in this lifetime. Zhenbei and Zhenxi still retained its combat effectiveness, so the Southern Jin did not dare to invade rashly.
When the Three Kingdoms wanted to form an alliance, he showed goodwill to the other two countries and disrupted the alliance plan, while invading Darong, causing them to mess up.
"The alliance between the Three Kingdoms is now the moon in the mirror, and the Southern Jin occupied a city at this time, which really shocked the whole court and panicked. The civil officials asked the court to adopt the toughest attitude and immediately sent troops to recover Ling'ancheng and Ling'anguan. No one of the military generals emerged and all of them took sick leave." Yan Mu said speechlessly.
Liu Yunxiang frowned, "The war is about to go, but you still say it's not a big deal."
"It's not a big deal. When I transfer the Zhenbei Army back to Zhenbei, our family of four will also go back. We will care about whether he is fighting or not. We won't care whether he is fighting or not!" Yan Mu smiled and said.
Liu Yunxiang widened her eyes, "You, that's what you plan?"
"Otherwise, the emperor made me the prince at this time, and then pretended to be sick and pushed me to the forefront. Lu Chang'an and Qin Fei were jumping up and down to compete for this position on weekdays. They were also sick at this time. Why can't I be sick? I'm terminally ill and go back to Zhenbei to recuperate!" Yan Mu said angrily.
"Your Highness, Lord Xu, the left censor of the Inspectorate, fainted."
Yan Mu snorted, "I asked for it!"
"He was not fainting from hunger, but he lost too much blood."
"oh?"
