emperor

The emperor looked very tired, but he still refused to let Xie Yi come over, waved his hand, and raised his voice to call Ruyi Lang.

The emperor was still ill, and Ruyi Lang was always worried, not daring to be too far away from the emperor. At this time, when he heard the emperor calling him, he ran over immediately, helped the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, your mother made plain noodles and brought them here. It’s being warmed on charcoal right now, why don’t you try it.”

Ruyilang knew that the emperor didn't want to show his weakness in front of Grand Tutor Xie, and he was afraid that he would force himself back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so he said something boldly.

The emperor's hand was wrapped in a cloak, resting on Ruyilang's arm, and no one else could see it, but Ruyilang noticed that the strength was different from usual. He was so anxious that he didn't dare to reveal half of it, waiting for the emperor to speak.

The emperor slowed down, and reprimanded softly: "I didn't tell you what the empress sent me."

Knowing that the emperor agreed, Ruyi Lang hurriedly walked out with the emperor, and the emperor said to Grand Tutor Xie: "There are still many matters in the Palace of Mental Cultivation, the prince is young and energetic, and he is not yet thorough in handling things, and still needs some advice from the grand tutor. "

What he said was blunt and straightforward, and he only missed Taifu Xie teaching the prince a lesson. No emperor would say such things about his son to his courtiers.

But the emperor was obviously unusual. He not only said it, but also made people dare not comment, so they could only nod.

Xie Yi watched the emperor walk away slowly, he stood there with his head bowed, wondering what he was thinking.

Compared with the unfathomable, Xie Yi, who has been a Taifu for many years, is even better than the emperor.

Sitting in the side hall, the emperor complained while coughing: "The Imperial Hospital has always been unreliable. It is said that the attack occurs once every half month. How can I remember that it has only been seven days?"

As he spoke, he coughed a few more times, and Ruyi Lang didn't have time to speak. He opened the secret cabinet to get pills for the emperor, and at the same time poured water for the emperor, his movements flowing smoothly.

The emperor looked at his leader, the eunuch, who was obviously in a panic, but he could only stay calm in the face of danger, and forced himself to be calm, and couldn't help laughing.

When he smiled, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Ruyilang turned pale with fright, calmly handed the medicine to the emperor, and waited for him to swallow it

The emperor drank water and took medicine to feel better. He wanted to talk, but Ruyi Lang hurriedly told the emperor to lie down. Every movement made the emperor silently shut up.

The emperor said to Ruyilang who was guarding before the collapse: "What are you afraid of? I told Huiyue earlier that if something happened to me, she would never blame you."

Ruyilang's face was as white as paper, and his head slammed on the ground with a bang, almost frightened to death by the outspoken emperor: "Bah, bah, bah, your majesty is blessed with great blessings, and you will live forever. We, the slaves, will stop any calamity or catastrophe." Let’s see, this servant is tough, and can carry anything.”

Ruyi Lang is very cautious, since serving the emperor, he has never said unnecessary words or done unnecessary things.

The emperor said lightly: "Get up, I'm tired."

Ruyilang didn't dare to get up, he paid attention to the movement on the bed, and when he heard the sound of breathing gradually getting deeper, he wiped the sweat from his head and slowly stood up, his legs were still limp.

He is not easy to be a chief eunuch, if he is not careful, he will end up wrapped in a straw mat.

How many years has he been with the emperor?Before that, the emperor still had a great eunuch by his side. It was because he grew up with the emperor as a child, and he also saved the emperor's life.The emperor trusted him, but this man, after a long time of complacency, easily lost his sense of proportion. The eunuch took money from others and secretly helped the emperor.

How did the emperor do it?That didn't care about the old feelings at all, he made people drag him down on the spot, and killed him as soon as he said he would, without any regret on his face, just pointing at him.

"What's your name?"

"Li Deyi?"

"You will be the consular eunuch next to me from now on, so don't call yourself proud, change it to Ruyi, as I want."

In this way, he and the little eunuch, who was spreading the word outside the palace, flew up to the branches with fighting spirits, and became a popular person beside the emperor.

He didn't have an orthodox master to teach him how to serve the emperor, so he worked hard on his own. Several times he felt that he was going to be dragged out and chopped down.

The emperor didn't say anything, and asked him to go to the Punishment Department to receive the punishment, and let him come back to serve after he was done.

At that time, the emperor was still very healthy, and he often had no expression on his face, nor did he smile or get angry.

The majesty of the king is like the sea, and the heart of heaven is unpredictable.

Ruyilang stood next to the emperor every day, watching the emperor handle the government affairs from nine to five, meet with ministers, and discuss state affairs.

Occasionally kill officials and clean the house of a minister.

After the edicts were issued one after another, Ruyi Lang couldn't see how bloody and rainy somewhere outside the palace was, but he could get a glimpse of it from the terrified expressions of the courtiers he met every day.

Ruyilang didn't know if the emperor was a good emperor, but a diligent and conscientious emperor was worthy of praise even if he was strict.

He is always happy when the weather is good in a year. If there is a disaster year and the frontier changes, not only Ruyi Lang, but also the courtiers who serve are not doing things with their heads up.

Few people can make the emperor change his mind, but the emperor respects the queen very much.

One year a certain minister screwed up an errand given to him by the emperor. The emperor was furious and imprisoned the whole family of the official.

The official's good friend went to the queen's family after many twists and turns, and the family tried to pass the message to the palace.

The queen didn't ask about court affairs easily, but when she saw that the people in her family spoke sincerely, she checked carefully and knew that this official was upright, and it was because of his integrity that he messed up the job.

She went to persuade the emperor in person, and Ruyi Lang was beside her. The emperor's expression changed from stormy to cloudy at first, and then the empress smiled and said something to the emperor, and the cloud also swept away.

The emperor's tone was very ordinary, but he could hear that he was happy, shaking his head while saying: "If I don't kill him, I will."

Not only did he not kill him, the emperor also rewarded him as a patrol envoy, and sent him to the south to supervise water conservancy repairs.

Not only to the queen, the emperor is also very kind to the prince and princess who are fostered under the queen's knees.

Not to mention being amiable, she is often summoned to take the little prince and princess to shoot arrows, ride horses, and fly kites.

The emperor's heirs are weak, except for the middle palace, there is only one concubine, Wang Meiren, who was the princess's biological mother. passed away.

There are few people in the palace, and the ministers like to persuade the emperor to choose a talent show. That time, the emperor was so angry that he sealed seventeen or eight palace ladies as concubines in one breath. The number of concubines was filled to the brim, and the mouths of the courtiers were blocked. .

But Ruyilang followed the emperor every day, and he never saw the emperor go to see these concubines, so he loved to go to the central palace.

Before this incident, the emperor demoted many ministers for choosing a concubine, and the older the qualifications, the harder the demote.

Moreover, resignation is resignation, without salary, the work in the court has to be done correctly, if you make a mistake, you will be punished, and if you do a good job, you will not be rewarded, so the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty shut up. No one dared to mention this.
