Shangguan Jinxiu watched him stumble in. His short legs almost tripped when he stepped over the threshold, and he quickly stood up to face him.
Fan Xu stopped in front of Shangguan Jinxiu, raised his short hand and saluted: "I have seen the queen, and the queen is in good health."
"Why are you here?" Shangguan Jinxiu picked him up.
Fan Xu looked at the dragon bed: "I'm here to visit my father. My father has been sleeping for many days, why can't he get up? He once said that men should not be lazy, otherwise they will accomplish nothing in the future. He cannot be lazy just because he is the emperor.
, An emperor should set an example. I study with the Taifu every day and never relax, why is he lazy instead? "
"Father is ill," Shangguan Jinxiu said.
"I heard the imperial doctor say that my father is suffering from a heart disease, and it can be cured as long as he thinks about it." Fan Xu pointed to Fan Yuanxi's position, "Move me over!"
Shangguan Jinxiu carried Fan Xu to the bed.
Fan Xu didn't even take off his shoes, he climbed up directly and lay on Fan Yuanxi's body.
"Xu'er, come down quickly."
Fan Xu ignored him and lay on Fan Yuanxi's body, rubbing his little face against Fan Yuanxi's face: "Father, your face is not warm anymore, it's so cold! Get up and play with me. Father..."
Shangguan Jinxiu was about to take Fan Xu down when he saw Fan Yuanxi's fingers move.
"Xu'er, call you father again."
"Father...Father...get up and play with me...Father..."
Fan Yuanxi slowly opened his eyes.
"Your Majesty, you're awake..." Shangguan Jinxiu was very excited, "Come here, call the imperial doctor, your Majesty is awake."
Fan Yuanxi looked at Shangguan Jinxiu who was crying with joy, and next to him was his son Fan Xu who was blinking with lively eyes.
"Father, you finally woke up. You have been lazy for a long time this time and you are not good at all." Fan Xu said.
"Yes, my father is not good..." Fan Yuanxi touched Fan Xu's face, "My father will never be like this again."
"You scared us." Shangguan Jinxiu said, "Are you hungry? I'll ask my servants to prepare porridge. You can nourish your stomach first."
Fan Yuanxi was out of danger, and things in the court finally returned to normal. However, after Fan Yuanxi's body recovered, Liangguo began to take action.
Fan Yan conquered the small tribes of Liangguo, and the current Liangguo's national strength has suddenly improved a lot. In addition, Huiguo and Fenglinguo have become a rope, and several other small countries are not at peace. They are afraid of this
The two big countries were united, so they united together and began to cause chaos on the border of the good country.
"Is the emperor going to fight in person?" The ministers were shocked when they heard Fan Yuanxi's words.
Fan Yuanxi has just recovered from a serious illness, but his complexion is not very good.
He sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the ministers below.
He looked at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi saw the seriousness in his eyes.
While everyone was trying to stop Fan Yuanxi, Lu Yi remained silent.
Not to mention other ministers, even close confidants such as Lu Xuan and Wen Wensong used various reasons to stop Fan Yuanxi.
Qi Xiao and Lu Yi looked at each other.
Qi Xiao didn't speak either.
Now Qi Xiao can't use his internal strength and has taken a casual position. Many things are left to his subordinates. However, he has to attend the morning court like today, and he didn't expect that such a big thing would happen just after the morning court resumed.
"Prime Minister Lu, hurry up and persuade the emperor!" the minister next to him said urgently.
"Since General Su Sheng left, no one among these generals has shared my worries?" Fan Yuanxi said calmly, "Don't quarrel with Prime Minister Lu, even he can't stop what I have decided."
"The reason why the emperor wants to conquer the country personally is not just to deal with the chaos on the border." Lu Yi asked, "Does the emperor want to unify the world?"
"I don't have such big ambitions. But there is one very important thing, that is, anyone who offends our country will be punished." Fan Yuanxi said, "I want to swallow up the entire good country."
"Your Majesty, if we take action against Liangguo, will Fenglinguo have any objections?" A minister said, "We and Fenglinguo are related by marriage, and the current Queen of Fenglinguo is still the daughter of Prime Minister Lu.
If you do anything to break the covenant..."
"When did I say that I would take action against Feng Linguo? I have already said that my goal is a good country." Fan Yuanxi said coldly, "Okay, don't be unfounded and alarmist."
"How sure are you that the emperor wants to attack a good country?" Lu Yi, who had been silent for the whole time, asked.
"Seventy percent."
"Only 70%, that is absolutely impossible. A country cannot be without a king for a day. If the emperor wants to lead a personal expedition, he must be fully prepared. You cannot let the people of the world worry about you."
"When I was in power, the country was strong and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The war between us and the good country will definitely break out in recent years. While the good country is still in its infancy, I strike first to strengthen it. This is the best policy, or should I say
Does Mr. Lu have a better way?"
Fan Yuanxi's words, "I want to lead the expedition in person" made the entire morning meeting like boiling water and could not calm down. In the end, the morning meeting broke up without reaching a conclusion.
"Prime Minister Lu, the Emperor has invited you."
Lu Yi had already been waiting there.
He looked at Qi Xiao: "Let's go together!"
"If the emperor didn't tell me, I won't go." Qi Xiao said, "My bones can't stand the torment, so I'll go back and take care of myself."
"You ran away quickly."
"There is no other way. The Emperor is determined to go on an expedition. Even if you personally persuade him, you may not be successful. But from the look on your face, are you planning to persuade him?"
"I understand his thinking," Lu Yi said, "He wants to make political achievements and create a better life for future generations."
"He was not such an emperor who cared about the country and the people before." Qi Xiao said, "I remember clearly that when he first became emperor, he just didn't want to be meat on someone else's chopping block, not that he had this ambition."
"People change. When I first met him, he was not what he is now." Lu Yi said, "Now he is becoming more and more like a king of a country. He has been transformed a long time ago."
"In fact, the reason why he dared to lead the expedition in person was because he was sure that you would become the patron saint of the capital. With the help of important ministers like you, he dared to make such a decision. In a sense, he believed in you very much."
Lu Yi entered the political hall.
He and Fan Yuanxi talked in the palace for two hours, but no one knew what they said.
The next day, Fan Yuanxi once again proposed the idea of a personal expedition, and this time Lu Yi fully supported it.
As soon as Lu Yi supported it, the civil and military officials in the court did not dare to say anything.
The king and his ministers reached an agreement, but nothing they said would help.
The ‘chen’ here does not refer to them, but to Lu Yi, an important minister in the court.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict... specially appointed Lu Yi as regent to manage the government for me..."
"I obey the decree."
Fan Yuanxi returned to the Council Hall to deal with the memorial. Before he arrived, he saw Shangguan Jinxiu standing at the door holding Fan Xu.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has been waiting for a long time." Eunuch Wang said.
