I am also waiting for the hero to usurp the throne today [Transmigration Book]

Huo Caiyu went down to court, and the first thing he did when he came back was to look for His Majesty.

Since taking a bath yesterday, His Majesty said that he was dizzy when he came back, and he hid behind the screen and refused to come out, which made him extremely worried.

This morning Prime Minister Ye also took leave of absence, he briefly dealt with urgent matters, and then hurried back to visit His Majesty.

Huo Caiyu felt a little worried in his heart.

His Majesty's health seems to be getting worse and worse.

I often feel dizzy and physically weak, and my face is pale. The key is that there is no abnormality in the pulse diagnosis.

Huo Caiyu even wondered if His Majesty was deliberately teasing him.

But he went home several times to communicate with his mother, and his mother frowned and said that there must be something wrong with His Majesty's pulse, but he hasn't found out where the problem is.

The mother also confirmed to herself again and again, whether Mr. Li's intercourse is really all right?Ask yourself to tell Mr. Li not to shy away from medical treatment.

Huo Caiyu didn't want to think about the relationship between His Majesty and the concubines, but when it came to His Majesty's health, he still checked carefully.

Judging from Tong's history, the frequency of His Majesty's favor with concubines was quite high before; but after he entered the palace, the number of times His Majesty flipped cards has decreased a lot, and now he even sends his concubines to farm, and no longer favors the harem at all.

Huo Caiyu had a slight wave in his heart, but he suppressed it forcibly.

Right now, His Majesty's body is the most important thing, and everything else will be put on the back burner first.

Judging from his history, His Majesty's health is normal; as for the details of intercourse...

If you want to investigate this, I'm afraid you can only ask the specific concubine directly.

Anyway, Huo Caiyu went a little too far in asking the concubine.

Huo Caiyu recalled the experience when he accidentally pressed His Majesty's..., and recalled the tactile sensation of pulsating through a layer of satin scarf, and couldn't help but move his Adam's apple.

His Majesty appears to be in good health in this regard.

——Then what went wrong?

Huo Caiyu was also studying medical books frantically while dealing with the government, but he still got nothing.

Not wanting to show his worries in front of His Majesty, Huo Caiyu restrained all his emotions before entering the main hall of the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Huo Caiyu saw His Majesty sitting on the dragon chair covered with jade bamboo cool cushions, staring directly at himself, as if he was about to say something.

Huo Caiyu paused: "Your Majesty, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Seeing that Huo Caiyu looked normal, as if he could see the ears on his head, Li Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the method given by the black cat really works.

"Nothing. I'm just...too free."

Huo Caiyu walked up to Li Jinyu and sat down, noticing a delicate hourglass next to the hamster cage, curious, "Your Majesty likes hourglasses?"

Li Jinyu coughed: "I suddenly felt that time was passing silently, and inadvertently passed the day in a daze. I specially asked the Iron and Wood Bureau to build this hourglass to remind me that time is not forgiving."

In fact, the method that can cover his ears has a time limit. In order to prevent himself from forgetting, he can only use an hourglass to remind him.

After all, there are no clocks and watches everywhere in this world, only hourglasses can keep time.

Huo Caiyu remembered that His Majesty liked hourglasses recently, so he looked back to see if there were any exquisite and interesting hourglass toys for His Majesty to play with.

He took out the notebook he received this morning: "Your Majesty, this is the recent memorial."

In the past, His Majesty would find excuses to shirk and refuse to approve, but today he is very obedient: "Let me take a look."

Li Jinyu searched the notebook for a long time, and found the notebook that the black cat said to be submitted by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

He picked it up and read it again, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. He raised his head and looked at Huo Caiyu, with some doubts: "Huo Aiqing, why hasn't this notebook been approved?"

Huo Caiyu glanced at it: "This is from the Ministry of Rites, and they want to adjust the travel rules of generals and soldiers."

Officials and generals of the Di Dynasty had serious rules when traveling, even down to the color of shoes and socks to wear and the fineness of jade pendants hanging from their belts;

Officials are fine, the half-armour of soldiers is made of fine iron, which is very heavy, and it is a kind of torture in midsummer.An old general who once served in the Ministry of War and had not been on the battlefield for many years fainted from heatstroke in midsummer.

The book in the Ministry of Rituals this time is to amend this rule. Generals can also wear court clothes to go out, and it can be easier in midsummer.

Li Jinyu saw the heavy armor on General Meng's body, and felt sympathy for it: "The weather is so hot, and the generals have worked too hard."

"This rule was originally left over from the period of Taizu. At that time, Di Dynasty was not stable, and there were often wars and assassinations. Ordering generals to wear half armor is also to encourage generals to keep their hearts in mind and protect the court." Huo Caiyu Explained, "Midsummer is indeed a bit difficult."

When his father, General Huo, was still alive, he obeyed the court rules and had to wear half-armor when traveling in a serious manner.The young Huo Caiyu followed his father and could see the sweat on his father's body.

But it was also his father who taught him this way, saying that military generals should not be greedy for pleasure, and always keep in mind the mission of protecting the family and the country.

"A military officer is as expensive as a general, and he can't ride a sedan chair" is also to maintain the martial arts ambition of the generals.

Huo Caiyu has both civil and martial arts, but due to the influence of his father, he unconsciously demands himself to be a general, and has always traveled on horseback rather than sedan chairs.

The last time I went to Qingshui County, His Majesty personally picked the carriage, and there were a lot of things to bring, so Huo Caiyu brought the carriage.

As for Banjia, he has never received a military rank so far, and the imperial court has not assigned him armor, so he can only travel in imperial uniform.

Looking at the determination on Huo Caiyu's face, Li Jinyu felt admiration spontaneously in his heart.

From generation to generation in the Di Dynasty, peace and tranquility were guarded by these generals who were born in sorrow and died in peace.

But being moved, Li Jinyu still felt that it was too difficult for generals to travel in such heavy half armor in midsummer.

Not to mention the black cat's request.

"I think this rule can be adjusted." Li Jinyu put down the booklet and suggested, "How about arranging summer clothes for the generals?"

Huo Caiyu was slightly taken aback: "Summer clothes?"

"I've seen those half-armors, they are very heavy, and they are covered with felt. It's too hot in summer. Why not imitate the pattern and make softer armor that is lighter and more airy?"

Li Jinyu's original intention was to let the generals wear light and breathable half-armor to go out in summer, but Huo Caiyu's expression became serious when he heard it: "Your Majesty's words are true, the armor of our dynasty is indeed too thick. The Southwest War was stalemate before, and then It’s because the local climate is too hot and humid, and it’s hard for me, Sergeant Di Chao, to adapt.”

Otherwise, with the ability of General Meng, it shouldn't take so long to come back.

Li Jinyu didn't know how Huo Caiyu would think of that aspect, but he felt that he was not too far from his goal, so he didn't refute, and nodded: "What Huo Aiqing said is true."

Although Huo Caiyu came to the officialdom from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials, he has a very high sense of belonging to the army. When he mentioned improving the armor, he became interested: "Does Your Majesty have any improvement measures?"

Li Jinyu was just an ordinary little hamster, so naturally he didn't know how to improve soldiers.Fortunately, he has read the original work and knows that there is a craftsman who specializes in iron armor in the original work. In the original work, because the court persecuted his family, he became angry and joined Huo Caiyu's army. He developed a large number of light armor for Huo Caiyu's power. It is even better than Hagi Chao.

Now that the world line has been changed by him, he doesn't know where to go, and Li Jinyu doesn't know what's going on with that craftsman.

But always try.

"I know someone who might be able to help."

The craftsman's surname was Dong, and his name was Dong Jixiang. He was surprisingly young, probably in his early 30s.

In the original book, he was later the "Father of Bingjia" of the Xin Dynasty, and contributed countless novel armors and weapons to the Di Dynasty.

It's just that Li Jinyu only knew one name, and he couldn't tell his exact appearance and address, so he had to rely on Huo Caiyu to send someone to find him.

Huo Caiyu didn't look down upon His Majesty's sudden and firm description of a person he had never heard of before. After carefully recording the order, he raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, there have been rumors in the market recently that the rumors are not good for us, and His Majesty needs to come out personally. can be resolved.”

Li Jinyu knew about the counterattack sent by the prime minister, so he nodded: "I'm ready."

Huo Caiyu said that His Majesty needs to go out in person to walk around the capital, and he will arrange the rest.

Li Jinyu originally planned to go out directly, but when he turned around, he saw Tangyuan laying in the cage, the melon seeds stopped eating, and he looked at him eagerly.

His heart softened: This little junior has been born for so long, he must not have gone out to play, why not take him out to see the capital together.

This little guy seems to be of a different breed from himself, not very afraid of strangers, not afraid of cats, and presumably not afraid of going out on the street.

Li Jinyu was holding the cage of glutinous rice balls and the hourglass in the other hand, ready to go.

Huo Caiyu felt that Li Jinyu's hands were busy, so he persuaded: "Your Majesty, you might as well put the things down."

Li Jinyu refused: "I want to bring glutinous rice balls and hourglass with me."

The glutinous rice balls are his gift to his juniors, and the hourglass can remind him at any time when the spell to cover his ears will fail, how can he give up!

Huo Caiyu thought for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand: "Then help Your Majesty to change it."

With internal strength, he easily twisted the iron wire, embedded the hourglass on the hamster cage, and specially made a small mechanism to turn the hourglass upside down without flipping the hamster cage.

Li Jinyu tried it out and was very satisfied - in this way, he can hold the glutinous rice balls anytime and anywhere, and he can also borrow the glutinous rice balls to tell the time!

……

"Your Majesty will drive you on a journey!"

The news seemed to have wings, and quickly flew all over the streets and alleys of the capital.

Today, the Holy One is a very topical person in the hearts of the people of Dadi.

It was rumored that the imperial palace was a den of devouring people, and few maids who entered the palace could come out alive; later, the rumors became more and more exaggerated, and the rumors of His Majesty eating people's hearts and drinking human blood came out.

In the past, when the emperor was discussed by the people like this, he must have been very displeased, not to mention furious, and the imperial guards followed suit, and the people did not dare to say more.

However, today's holy majesty never cares about folk gossip, let the people discuss, and the imperial guards don't care, which further fueled the enthusiasm of the people to discuss.

However, after the spring of this year, the emperor, who seemed to have no merit at all, suddenly changed.

Push new taxes, sweep the imperial examinations, and eliminate bad governance.

Even those who are insensitive and resistant to the court have to admit that with His Majesty's implementation of the New Deal several times, the government and the opposition seem to be glowing with new brilliance.

His Majesty's reputation is also quietly improving.

In this way, the common people are more curious about today's world.

Those who have seen His Majesty before only glimpsed the dragon chariot from a distance at the Dihua Festival-the tassels on the top of the dragon chariot hung down, and no one could see clearly.

Now His Majesty is visiting the capital?

In ordinary times, seeing Longyan is a great gift, how can ordinary people have the opportunity to meet His Majesty!

Except for those who couldn't let go of things at hand, everyone else curiously leaned on the trajectory of His Majesty's dragon carriage, looking up and waiting for His Majesty's arrival.

The dragon chariot quickly moved forward, and the common people raised their necks and squeezed forward, and finally saw His Majesty clearly in the dragon chariot.

The long tassels were removed from the top cover this time, and those who get close can easily see a young man in the dragon chariot who seems to have not yet reached the crown. The wide cuffs of the dragon robe with black background and gold pattern accentuated his figure more and more delicately.

The young man was holding a small cage in his arms, and he didn't know what kind of pet was in it, he was talking patiently to that pet with his head down, his lips were curved like a moon, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque.

The people who saw clearly widened their eyes.

——His Majesty looks really good-looking...

——Who used to say that His Majesty's eyes are like copper bells, and his bloody mouth is big?

——They have never seen such a good-looking person!

Human beings are born with a feeling of pity for beautiful things.

Facing His Majesty's handsome face, even those who harbored ill intentions towards the imperial court, their inner hostility subsided a little.

The common people were silent, and when the dragon chariot passed by, it seemed that a switch was turned on, and they started discussing in one go.

It's just that this time they are not arguing about the truth or falsehood of those rumors, but are discussing how blessed His Majesty is to the empresses in the palace for being so good-looking.

While chatting, someone suddenly brought it up: "Speaking of which, didn't you say that Tanhualang was a servant of sex before he changed to Tanhua's position?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and then laughed coaxingly.

"Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, you have seen Tanhualang parading the streets. How does Tanhualang look? Can he compare to Your Majesty?"

The little woman thought about it for a while, and shook her head regretfully: "That Xu Tanhua looks really good, but compared with our Majesty, it's far worse."

"No, I think so too."

"To Your Majesty, does Xu Tanhua really have the face to propose Israel to serve you?"

"It's hard to say who will suffer!"

Everyone laughed again.

A few people in the crowd who deliberately guided the topic nodded secretly, and heaved a sigh of relief: the task assigned by the regent king has been successfully completed.

The same thing is being said elsewhere.

The crisis of public opinion that made countless people doubt the fairness of the imperial examination was easily broken by Li Jinyu's visit to the capital.

Even a dissatisfied scholar, after seeing His Majesty's face, has to admit that Xu Tanhua's appearance cannot be compared with His Majesty's.

Your Majesty can't find any kind of beauty, favor Xu Tanhua, not to mention breaking the imperial examination rules, even if Xu Tanhua is not given any benefits, His Majesty will be the one who suffers!

All of a sudden, there were no more vicious words accusing the imperial examinations of cheating in the whole capital, and everyone was discussing His Majesty's prosperity and beauty with great interest.

However, a few literati were inspired and wrote the story of "Tanhua Lang Jinluan fell in love with him at first sight, the Holy Son of Heaven and the Qinglong's heart secretly promised", and it was even sought after by many.

Huo Caiyu, who cleared His Majesty's stigma in one breath and broke up the relationship between Xu Tanhua and His Majesty, was so angry that he turned cold-faced for several days when he heard the news.

If you don't know the inside story, you may think that the prime minister faction has gained the upper hand again.

Ye Cheng and the others were cursing inwardly: The counterattack we came up with was broken by you so easily, we haven't lost our temper yet, but you've started to flirt!

……

Not long after His Majesty went out, a guard came to report that he had found the person His Majesty ordered to look for.

Dong Jixiang entered the palace with a hammer in his arms, and the guard who brought him reported helplessly: "Your Majesty, this man insists that the hammer is his brother, and he refuses to let go."

Iron tools should not have been brought when the surface was rising, so as not to be disguised as an assassin.It's just that the craftsman refused to let go of his hammer, and His Majesty had carefully told him to invite him, so the guard had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring him back.

He has confirmed that this guy has no force and no threat.

Huo Caiyu took half a step forward calmly, ready to protect Li Jinyu behind him at any time.

Li Jinyu knew that Dong Jixiang had the same temperament in the original book, so he didn't care. He just observed Dong Jixiang carefully, and found that although there was a lot of sadness in his brows and eyes, he didn't show any resentment. It seemed that the family ruin described in the original book hadn't happened yet.

He felt a little relieved, and coughed: "Master Dong, I heard that you are good at forging armor and weapons, and I would like to ask you to forge light, safe, and reliable armor for my Di Dynasty soldiers. What do you want?"

Only then did Dong Jixiang look away from the hammer in his hand and cast his eyes on Li Jinyu in front of him.

Because he was inviting someone, Li Jinyu didn't put on airs of being an emperor—he didn't have such a thing, and his attitude was very sincere.

Dong Jixiang was not full of awe of the royal family like ordinary people, and blinked like a sleepwalker, as if he just understood what the person in front of him wanted him to do.

He was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty's grace is so great, the grassroots shouldn't refuse, but some grassroots have a knot in their hearts, and they have been stuck in their hearts. If they can't be untied, it is really impossible to forge a good armor."

The guard who brought him next to him frowned, as if he felt that he was disrespectful to His Majesty, and wanted to stop him.

Huo Caiyu could see Li Jinyu's respect for this unknown craftsman, so he waved his hand in advance to stop the guard from talking too much.

His Majesty is so serious, this person must not be simple.

"What's on your mind?"

"Many years ago, the grassroots families couldn't pay the tax. When the tax officer came to collect the tax, the grassroots wanted to pay the head tax, but the tax officer didn't want it." Dong Jixiang's face darkened slightly, and there was a faint wave in his voice, " The tax official disliked Caomin for being too old, so he took Caomin's younger brother away."

Li Jinyu blinked, but didn't understand.

Huo Caiyu on the side understood: "Then the tax officer is pulling people for the palace?"

Only the servants in the palace would only want children, because they were castrated early and they were easy to raise.

Dong Jixiang nodded silently, then raised his head: "Caomin's parents are dead now, and the only family member in the world is the missing younger brother. If His Majesty can find the younger brother for Caomin, Caomin will die for His Majesty. "

Li Jinyu understood, and a drop of sweat trickled down his forehead.

He understood why Dong Jixiang hated Di Chao in the original work.

The lives of servants in the imperial palace are like nothing, and Emperor Jingchang would not care about killing a few at random. Presumably Dong Jixiang's younger brother died in the mouth of Emperor Jingchang.Maybe it's just pouring the wine too fast, maybe it's just not smart enough to kneel down, or maybe it's just a bad mood.

It's just that in the original book, Emperor Jingchang would never have imagined that the little servant he gave to death at random would arouse the anger of a seemingly ordinary craftsman and become a torch for the downfall of the Di Dynasty.

What Li Jinyu is most worried about now is... Is Dong Jixiang's younger brother still alive?
