Chapter 284 The rain is about to come and the wind is filling the building (Part 2)
"Eunuch Gao, what is your Majesty's decree?"
"Eunuch Gao, is your Majesty okay? Will you go to court this time or not?"
"Eunuch Gao, what happened? Why doesn't Your Majesty go to court?"
…
The ministers were all anxiously waiting. Under this excitement, they surrounded Gao Hesheng without hesitation, and started shouting and shouting.
"Everyone, please be quiet, be quiet, Your Majesty has a message here!"
Even though Gao Hesheng was used to seeing people in big scenes, he was still quite frightened when he was suddenly surrounded by the officials. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and kept shouting. They tried to control the situation, but the courtiers were so impatient that no one paid attention to what they were yelling about. They all kept shouting to themselves, and the whole situation turned into a mess.
"Quiet, everything is in chaos!"
Yan Liben couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and roared, finally suppressing the commotion among the ministers. Of course, this was also because of his status as the leader of the princeling party. If he had changed The prime minister next to me may not have such power.
"Eunuch Gao, does your Majesty have any orders?"
After the ministers calmed down, Yan Liben looked at Gao Hesheng with a livid face and asked in a very stiff tone.
"Your Majesty has decreed that the court will be rescheduled for today's morning. King Xuanlu Li Xian, King Li Xian of England and other ministers and governors will have an audience at the Qianyuan Hall!"
Gao Hesheng was obviously frightened by the previous siege by the ministers. Now that he had to escape, he announced the decree very fast and urgently, completely losing the calmness and drawl he used to have in the past.
"Why do you act like this? What is your Majesty's intention?"
"Yes, what your Majesty did today is really strange. We will face him soon!"
"Eunuch Gao, is this all your Majesty has to say?"
…
The courtiers had been waiting in the cold wind for two hours, but what they were waiting for was this light word. They were very dissatisfied, and they all started to make a fuss again. This time, they were all grumbling. Even Yan Liben's shouts and shouts had no effect, and the whole square became noisy.
"Seventh brother, look at what happened. Oh, I really don't know what my father wants to do."
Li Xian maintained his identity and would not join the courtiers in making noise. He just watched with gloating and sarcastic remarks.
"Let's go, let's talk about it after entering the palace."
Li Xian was filled with doubts, but he didn't want to say anything more. He just glanced at the chaotic ministers indifferently, flicked his large sleeves, walked to the panicked Gao Hesheng, and bowed meticulously. Xie En said: "My son, I will obey your father's order." Then he didn't care what others thought, he straightened up, made a gesture of invitation and said: "Eunuch Gao, please lead the way, please!"
"Okay, okay, okay, Your Highness, please!"
When Gao Hesheng was at a loss, Li Xian rescued him. He immediately said hello over and over again, leaving behind a few words to show off. Then he turned around without hesitation and led several young eunuchs to forcefully break through the siege of the ministers. , hurriedly ran into Zetian Gate like a lost dog.
"Prime Minister Pei, Prime Minister Yan, please come on, don't keep your father waiting impatiently."
Li Xian paid no attention to Gao Hesheng's escape. Instead, he raised his hand to the two chief ministers Pei Xingjian and Yan Liben, and greeted them politely.
"Your Highness, please!"
Pei Xingjian glanced at Li Xian meaningfully, returned the salute calmly, then turned around, pressed his hands to the clamoring courtiers, raised his voice, and said loudly: "Masters, your Majesty has already
If you already have a decree, please come back first."
Pei Xingjian was a veteran of the Three Dynasties and the Prime Minister of the Left. He was a highly respected minister and had a very high prestige among the ministers. As soon as he spoke like this, the courtiers did not dare to continue making trouble like this.
After everyone agreed to their promises and dispersed, the small square that was originally crowded with people had become quiet. Only the two brothers Li Xian and six ministers who were involved in political affairs were left waiting.
Without saying a word, they all lined up according to their rank, walked into the palace gate without saying a word, and rushed straight to the Qianyuan Hall.
"My sons and ministers have met the Queen and His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Xian and others entered the main hall and saw Empress Wu sitting on the dragon bed with a straight face, while the prince sat on the brocade pier under the front palace with a tense face. The atmosphere in the hall was obviously far from harmonious.
At this point, everyone was full of doubts, but they didn't dare to ask questions at will. They could only rush forward and bow politely to say hello.
"Let's all get back together. Your Majesty will be here soon. Please wait."
Empress Wu was obviously not in a good mood. There was a hint of exhaustion in her voice. She didn't explain much. She just raised her hand faintly and gave an order casually.
"I respectfully obey your Majesty's orders."
Although everyone knew that something was fishy, no one was willing to ask easily. They just thanked them as usual, and then stood aside, quietly waiting for Gaozong's arrival...
Outside the master's bedroom in the apse of Qianyuan Hall, a large group of gray-bearded imperial doctors gathered outside the screen at the door. They whispered from time to time, but their voices were kept very low. Most of the eyes that occasionally looked into the door were extremely complicated.
There is anxiety, there is jealousy, there is dissatisfaction, and they are all different, but one thing is the same, that is nervousness, because the person who is sick inside is the current emperor.
Emperor Gaozong fell ill again, very suddenly and violently - today happened to be the first morning court meeting after the New Year. As the saying goes, the plan for a year lies in spring, Gaozong attached great importance to this morning court meeting, so early in the morning
He got up, had breakfast in high spirits, and hurriedly went to the Deyang Palace. But just as he was about to board the chariot, Gaozong's wind suddenly broke out, and he shrank into a ball and collapsed.
He was rolling around on the ground endlessly, which shocked the harem into chaos. All the imperial doctors who came after hearing the news were helpless. No one dared to give Gaozong medicine easily. As a last resort, Empress Wu could only use Gaozong's name to
Ming Chongyan came to the palace in order to relieve Gaozong's troubles, but he never thought that Ming Chongyan had been in the palace for a long time, but still failed to suppress the further deterioration of Gaozong's condition, but Gaozong's oral instructions were transmitted
, summoned all the princes and all the ministers and ministers into the palace to discuss matters, and this was how the commotion in front of Zetian Gate appeared.
"Your Majesty, I am going to do something serious. It may hurt a little. Please bear with me, Your Majesty."
On the bed in the palace, Ming Chongyan, who was sitting cross-legged behind Gaozong, had tried his best. He had already tried all the ordinary means at his disposal, but he still could not suppress the blood flowing freely in Gaozong's body.
Some people couldn't help but panic, and then they became cruel and planned to use the last resort.
"Ming, Ming Ai, I love you, but, but there is no need to try, it doesn't matter, I, I don't sin, you can do it, that's all."
Gaozong's rheumatism had not broken out for more than a year. This outbreak was so alarming that it made Gaozong feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to die. With all the imperial doctors unable to do anything, the only thing Gaozong could hope for was
Ming Chongyan was left alone. When he heard what Ming Chongyan said, Gaozong, although he was very weak, still stammered and expressed his position.
"Wei Chen is offended!"
At this moment, Ming Chongyan just wanted to suppress the Qi and blood in Gaozong's body, which was already completely disordered. He couldn't care about anything else anymore. When he heard Gaozong's words, he didn't dare to hesitate any more and roared.
With a sound, his hands were pointed together into a sword, and he swung it quickly, hitting dozens of major acupoints on Gaozong's body. Finally, the sword fingers of both hands were combined, and they hit Gaozong's Baihui acupoint heavily.
"Oh, it hurts me so much!"
Gaozong only felt a strong force rushing into his mind, and he couldn't help but screamed in pain. With this cry, his whole body jumped up as if he had been electrocuted. He held his head and shivered for a while, and then gradually
The ground relaxed, and soon, I felt a coolness rising slowly in the depths of my mind, sweeping away all the pain and discomfort. At this point, the chaotic flow of energy and blood had gradually returned.
"Ming'ai, you are really good at it. I feel much better."
Gaozong calmed himself down, shook his head again, and made sure that his head no longer hurt. He was in a good mood. He looked kindly at Ming Chongyan, who was standing beside him covered in sweat, and praised him with a smile.
.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have something I have to say."
Ming Chongyan was not excited by Gaozong's praise. Instead, he bowed solemnly, considered his tone, and spoke slowly.
"Ming Ai has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Gaozong was in a good mood and didn't think too much about it. He just raised his hand in vain to indicate that Ming Chongyan didn't need to be polite.
"Your Majesty has learned clearly that I dare not hide it from you. Your Majesty's recurrence of an old illness is actually caused by overuse of your brain. If you don't rest and recuperate, I may not be able to accomplish anything."
Ming Chongyan's so-called treatment was actually to use internal force to sort out the disordered qi and blood in Gaozong's body. It was purely an activity that treated the symptoms rather than the root cause. Once such behavior was repeated too often, it not only failed to warm and nourish the veins, but actually
It will make Gaozong's illness worse. The current outbreak is just a prelude. As time goes by, Gaozong's illness outbreaks will only become more frequent and serious. Ming Chongyan himself knows this well. What happened now
, he had to consider a way to escape, so he took advantage of Gaozong's good mood to put forward a precondition to lay the groundwork for what would happen next.
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Gaozong's face froze for a moment. He paced back and forth in the room with his bare feet uncertainly, and did not say a word for a long time. This sudden onset of the illness, Gaozong thought he was afraid.
It was very difficult to bear it, so he summoned all the important ministers to the palace to stand by. Unexpectedly, Ming Chongyan cured the disease in the end. Just when he was excited, he was interrupted by Ming Chongyan's words.
After pouring a cold heart, the determination to pro-government that had just risen during this period immediately wavered. However, the matter was too important. Gaozong couldn't think clearly for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a little upset.
