At dawn, the grand ceremony for crown prince Zhu Ruoji to supervise the country officially began. The whole ceremony was similar to when his father was supervising the country in Guilin. After a lot of trouble, he was surrounded by hundreds of officials and came to Fengtian Gate to attend court. p>
It is the honor of an emperor to serve as an imperial minister. He has been looking forward to that chair for a long time. The taste of power always makes people feel refreshed and haunted.
Zhu Ruoji sat on the chair where his old father often sat, enjoying the worship of the ministers. According to the rules, there should be another chair for the supervisor next to the throne, but he was too anxious to take care of that much, so he sat on it directly.
On the throne. Whether it is the negligence of his subordinates or intentional actions, who dares to say more after sitting down?
"This can't be an auspicious omen." Chen Bangyan looked at each other and other officials of the Hebei royal party, including Xiao Qi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Shou, the right minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Cheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, and thought angrily: "Tiger talents
As soon as he fell ill, the monkey was impatient and rushed to the throne. Bah!"
Zhu Ruodeng, the king of Ji, has not yet gone to court, so his counselor Lu Shiyi advised him to stay in the palace because of his illness and prepare armored soldiers in case of unexpected events. Not only him, but also a group of powerful generals under his command, all of whom never leave their armor or their horses' saddles, waiting for the king's orders at any time.<
/p>
"Where is King Ji?"
The love between brothers is deep, and the first thing Zhu Ruoji did after taking custody of the country was to ask about his brother's whereabouts.
"Reporting to the Supervisor, His Royal Highness King Ji fell ill because he was worried about His Majesty's dragon body." Guan Shouzhen, the first assistant, reported hurriedly.
"Oh, my second brother is sick." Zhu Ruoji looked anxious, "Someone, please bring the century-old blood Ganoderma lucidum that was given to Gu Gu in the last episode to my second brother."
"My lords, when my father was seriously ill, he ordered me to supervise the country for the sake of the Ming Dynasty." The young prince began his declaration of office, "I should not have taken on this important task because of my weak moral character. But my father is ill.
It’s really too heavy. I can’t bear for my old man to work on state affairs any more, so he has no choice but to shoulder this burden!”
"Excuse me, Supervisor, how is your Majesty's condition?" Su Guansheng, a bachelor of Jianji Palace, asked.
As soon as these words came out, all the officials stared at Zhu Ruoji eagerly, hoping to get the news from him that the emperor was safe and sound. People were used to the old emperor's rule and used to deify him. Such a wise and powerful man,
How could a resolute and magnanimous monarch die? Why should he suffer from illness? Shouldn't he lead us to continue to win?
"My father's bones are bad and he can't speak. He can only move his hands and feet a little, sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious." As he spoke, Zhu Ruoji's eyes turned red and he wiped his tears with the back of his hand.<
/p>
"Woo~woo~woo~"
The elderly Duke Jin Shenghuan of the State of Yu suddenly burst into tears. It didn't matter that he cried, and the whole court burst into tears.
Zheng Feng frowned. Although the crown prince looked sad, he released an important message to the ministers: the emperor was seriously ill and might die at any time. This was an obvious hint, suggesting that the ministers would move closer to him.
When a king dies, a king will stand. This is an eternal truth in the universe. But for an important minister like me, who has been deeply favored, how can it be reasonable for the emperor to switch to the prince before he collapses?
The chair was still the same chair, but the person sitting on it was not the old owner. In him, Zheng Feng only saw frivolity and indifference. How could there be any trace of the calm demeanor of the monarch in the past?
There were tears in his reddish eyes. Zheng Feng lowered his head, clenched his hands, and said slowly: "I request to see your Majesty."
"I request to see Long Yan." Sun Jinding, Yu Chaoxiang, Sun Gui, Liu Wenxiu and other important civil and military officials all knelt down to request.
Zhu Ruoji hesitated. Nowadays, there are constant rumors in the government and the public about his supervision of the country. If he always does not allow the elders and ministers to visit, he will be even more suspected. But if these elders come to see him, his father really wakes up and starts to punish them. According to the decree, the matter of supervising the country by oneself will inevitably change again.
Just as he was hesitating, Liu Rong, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, quietly walked forward and whispered: "In the supervision of the country, there is news from the Palace of Qianqing that His Majesty has just fallen into a coma."
"Yes." Zhu Ruoji nodded and said to the ministers: "I feel the same loneliness as you. It's just that my father is seriously ill and it's not suitable to see too many people or stay too long. So, please ministers. Follow the orphan into the palace to see you for a quarter of an hour. Return immediately after the interview, so as not to affect your father's rest."
"Yes!"
I heard that today I can see the old emperor, Sun Jinding, Su Guansheng, Zheng Feng, Yu Chaoxiang, and Chen Bangyan all look excited. Even Guan Shouzhen and Gu Yi, the two crown prince's confidants, are also excited.
As soon as they entered the palace gate, which was as deep as the sea, the elders soon felt that something was wrong. The number of guards in the Qianqing Palace increased several times. At the entrance of the palace, the emperor's personal guard, Lai Amber Chen Bao, was nowhere to be seen. The person in charge of guarding the East Palace was the East Palace. His general, Mrs. Yu.
Sun Jinding and others were so sophisticated that they remained silent.
Chen Bangyan asked coldly: "Jian Guo, where is Chen Bao when he comes to Amber?"
"Lai Anbo was worried about his father's dragon body, and served food, soup and medicine inside."
"Why are the guards outside the Qianqing Palace all the East Palace guards?"
"Why, I'm worried about my father's safety, can't I send more soldiers and horses to protect him?" Zhu Ruoji said displeased.
"I don't dare", Chen Bangyan didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Entering the third large room in the Nuan Pavilion at the back of Qianqing Palace, I saw Lai Amber and Chen Bao with guards at the door. However, Chen Bao was not wearing armor and did not have a weapon in his hand, which was so strange!
"Mr. Sun!"
When he saw the elders, Chen Bao was very excited and called out to Sun Jinding, but stopped talking.
"Come to Amber, is the emperor's dragon body feeling better?" Sun Jinding seemed not to notice anything strange about Chen Bao, and asked about the emperor's dragon body. It is always right to care about the health of the dragon body at any time. Won't offend anyone.
"Cough~cough~"
Zhu Ruoji coughed twice majestically, "Please don't talk too much, gentlemen, so as not to affect the dragon's recovery. Hurry in and say hello to your father!"
The first person to enter was naturally the chief assistant, Guan Shouzhen. Although he was a confidant of the prince, deep down in his heart, he even vaguely hoped that the old emperor would die soon so that he could pass on to the prince. But when he saw the miserable state of his lord, he was still so sad that he burst into tears.
Zongheng. We have known each other for decades and have gone through ups and downs. How can we not have feelings?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty," the old chief minister called affectionately.
However, the old emperor has fallen into a coma and entered the state of the living dead, so how can he deserve it?
I called dozens of times, but got no response, so I had no choice but to retreat.
The second person to enter was Sun Jinding, the second assistant. He had a deep relationship with the old emperor. Back then, he was just a criminal official, and everyone took it lightly. Only the old emperor recognized his talent and learning and regarded him as his own Zhuge Kongming. He also
Repaying him as a national soldier played an indelible role in the old emperor's supervision of the country.
Seeing the repeated calls, the old emperor seemed unaware. Sun Jinding was filled with sadness and burst into tears. Suddenly, his body tilted and he fainted.
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly pinched the person and rescued him again.
Su Guansheng, Zheng Feng, Gu Yi, and Yu Chaoxiang filed in one after another, but none of them responded.
Zhu Ruoji was relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little sad in his heart. After all, it was his father who was lying there!
Chen Bangyan refused to give up, cried heartbreakingly, and suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, please wake up quickly, the Ming Dynasty cannot live without you!"
Zhu Ruoji suddenly changed his color and shouted angrily: "Mr. Chen Ge, don't disturb your father's rest. Someone comes and takes him out."
Chen Bangyan was pushed away from the left and right, and Chen Bangyan struggled desperately, his eyes fixed on the old emperor on the sickbed.
Helpless, no matter how much the lion roared, the old emperor fell into trance and could not wake up.
