43. There is something strange, when the investigation
The Prince of Liang was seriously ill. After hearing the news, Emperor Xu couldn't sit still. He sent the imperial physician to visit the Prince of Liang's Mansion overnight, but the housekeeper Zhong Ping refused Xu's kindness and insisted on not allowing the imperial physician to enter.
According to the agreement signed by Emperor Xu and Emperor Liang, the Prince's Mansion was regarded as the land of Liang. Zhong Ping was firm in his attitude, and Emperor Xu had no better way unless he broke up and played hard.
After a tossing and turning night, Emperor Xu came to the imperial study early in the morning. The Minister of Revenue Lu Xuan, Minister of War Linghu Suting, and Minister of Personnel Ou Jian were already waiting at the door.
In fact, Xu State has six ministries, in addition to the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works, corresponding to six powerful ministers. However, the three people who were more trusted by Xu Huang were about to discuss this morning.
Eunuch Jia bent down and ran in front of Emperor Xu, hurriedly opened the door, and then stood beside him respectfully with Buddha dust in his hand.
After Xu Huang entered the house, he sat down with his butt, his eyes swept over the three ministers standing around him, and then said, "Did you hear about the Prince of Liang?"
"I heard it." The three ministers answered in unison. Among them, the loudest was the Minister of Revenue Lu Xuan. Because Chao Qing, the principal of the Prince's Mansion, were his people, Lu Xuan first got the news. Speaking of which, it was also the first time he reported the news to Emperor Xu.
"If the Prince of Liang died like this, I would be scolded." Emperor Xu picked up the teacup handed over by Eunuch Jia and drank gently.
After hearing this sentence, the three ministers, look at me and I look at you, and don’t know how to proceed. In fact, they understand very well that if Chen Lang really died in Xu State, then Emperor Xu would not only be scolded as simple as this, but would probably also cause more difficult diplomatic conflicts and even wars broke out.
And other vassal states except Liang State would probably all point fingers at Xu State.
After a moment of silence, the Minister of War Linghu Suting clenched his fists and said, "To be honest, we have fulfilled our friendship as a landlord. It is his own reason for the death of the Prince of Liang, and it has nothing to do with us. If Liang uses this threat, at most he will fight another battle."
When Emperor Xu heard this, he shook his head: "The key is still the reason for time. If the prince of Liang dies in two or three years, the impact will definitely be much smaller than that now, but at this point in time, Xu will not be able to blame."
Ou Jian, the Minister of Personnel, thought for a while: "The Liang Kingdom has not arranged several other entourage staff. What do they say? According to the principle, they are the most clear about the situation. The prince is seriously ill and they should ask for help. If they don't ask for help, there may be another reason."
oh?
Emperor Xu lowered his head and fell into deep thought. What Ou Jian said made a lot of sense. He stroked the beard on his cheeks and asked Lu Xuan, the Minister of Revenue: "Is the news from you accurate? According to the imperial doctor sent by me, the steward of the prince's mansion claimed that the prince was not seriously injured and just needed to rest. Why did you feel like he was terminally ill according to your description?"
this……
Lu Xuan's brain cells were spinning rapidly, thinking about how to reply. Although he trusted Chao Qing very much, it was hard to guarantee that Chao Qing had not made any mistakes. What's more, Chao Qing just hurriedly reported the news to Lu Xuan and did not tell the details to Lu Xuan.
"Lord Lu knows more with his hands and eyes than the entourage of the Prince of Liang. I admire him, and admire him." Linghu Suting mocked sarcastically.
In desperation, Lu Xuan had to bow to Emperor Xu with both hands: "I will go find out the specific situation again."
Emperor Xu nodded gently: "It must be understood. It is best if the prince of Liang has no problem. If he is already critically ill, I have to force the imperial doctor to visit him and inform Emperor Liang as soon as possible."
“喏.”陆轩应道.
After the three humeral ministers left the imperial study room, Eunuch Jia walked to Xu Huang and lowered his voice: "Can you tell me that Bai Shu's plan to trap Dragons is too cruel, and the Prince of Liang can't stand it?"
Emperor Xu groaned: "Where is Bai Shutong? Let him go to the prince's mansion to see it secretly."
Eunuch Jia lowered his eyebrows: "After setting up the Dragon Site, Bai Shutong went to travel around the world. But we heard that Bai Shutong also had a senior brother in Xu Country. In the whole world, there were only their senior brothers who knew how to dodge Dragon Site."
Xu Huang thought for a moment and said carelessly: "Let's not talk about this matter yet. Bai Shutong has never made any mistakes in the past twenty years. This time, I set up a trap for the Dragon Stories. I ask that it only affects the fortune but not the health of the Prince of Liang. I believe that since Bai Shutong agreed, he will definitely do it well, and there is no need to worry too much."
“喏.”贾公公垂首,不再说些什么.
...
When Emperor Xu was worried about Chen Lang, the third princess and King Jing also received news that Chen Lang was seriously ill. Both siblings were born to Concubine Duan, and they had the same father and mother, so they naturally had a good relationship.
King Jing picked up a flat stone by the lake and leaned over to make a float. The third princess stood beside her hands behind her back, counting the stones and floated a few times in total.
"You said, can the Prince of Liang survive this time?" King Jing straightened up and turned his head to ask.
"I hope he can." The third princess looked at the white clouds in the sky. Earlier today, the third princess made a special trip to the temple to pray for the Bodhisattva and pray for Chen Lang.
"Although the Prince of Liang killed someone in Prince Jing's Mansion, I also hope that Prince of Liang can survive." King Jing leaned over again and picked up a flat stone and threw it towards the calm water.
Unlike the third princess, King Jing was worried that if Chen Lang died inexplicably, then the prince pledged by Xu State in Liang State would return to Huaining, and King Jing would lose the opportunity to seize the throne.
...
After Lu Xuan, the Minister of Revenue, came out of the palace, he took a carriage and headed straight to the residence of Prince Liang. He found a teahouse next to him, and the coachman rushed to the residence of Prince Wang to inform Chao Qing.
Chao Qing dared not be negligent, so he ran to the teahouse as quickly as possible to meet Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan was sitting upright in a private room. When Chao Qing saw it, he hurriedly helped Lu Xuan pour tea. Beads of sweat had already oozed out of his temples, because Chao Qing knew that Lu Xuan would have to raise an army to question him.
Sure enough, five seconds later, Lu Xuan asked coldly: "How is the Prince of Liang now?"
Chao Qing nodded timidly: "Yin Baichuan took the medicine from somewhere, I heard that the situation has begun to improve."
Lu Xuan said angrily: "But the situation you reported before made me mistakenly think that the Prince of Liang will meet the King of Hell soon. Did I mislead you by mistake or did you make the mistake in the original situation?"
Bang!
晁清忽然跪倒:
"I was so anxious that I was not good at doing things. I saw that the butler Zhong Ping said that it was okay, but was extremely nervous in private. The maid named Xiaoyu was even more panicked, and Yin Baichuan didn't know where to go. After observing for a long time, the prince of Liang did not go out all day and night. Zhong Ping and Xiaoyu often ran to the pharmacy, so it was speculated that the prince was seriously ill."
"Bah!" Lu Xuan shook his hand angrily, "You give me fake news, and I report to the emperor again. If I have to do this, I am afraid that I will not be able to sit steadily in the position of Shangshu."
Hearing this, Chao Qing lay tightly on the floor, not daring to show off his anger.
Lu Xuan slowly took a sip of tea:
"Fortunately there is no problem, otherwise it will be troublesome. Remember it carefully. There are doubts in this incident. You can figure out why his entourage did not ask for help from Xu Guo, and even the imperial doctor would be turned away."
"I understand." Chao Qing pointed at the key point.
