The factory supervisor is really stunning

The emperor woke up while lighting the lamp, and the imperial doctors checked his pulse again, and they jointly prescribed prescriptions and came out to make medicine.After eating a little porridge, he stopped eating.When the eunuch in the imperial pharmacy boiled the medicine and brought it to him, he felt better.The empress dowager asked Concubine Zhao and others to come in to visit the emperor and talk to him.

As soon as Concubine Zhao saw the emperor, she burst into tears and threw herself in front of the emperor's dragon bed, saying: "The concubine is very worried about your majesty..."

The emperor held her hand and said comfortingly, "I'm fine, you see, I'm much better now."

The empress dowager on one side was not happy seeing her like this: "Concubine Zhao, the emperor is still ill, how is it proper for you to cry like this. Besides, you are a concubine, so you should behave properly. Should other concubines follow suit? ? If everyone rushes to the emperor and weeps, how can the emperor stand it?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhao quickly stood up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, explaining: "The concubine couldn't help seeing His Majesty the Emperor, and the concubine knew it was wrong."

The emperor looked at the empress dowager in a blink of an eye, feeling a little helpless.His mother doesn't like Concubine Zhao, and she hates her getting close to him the most.But he is the opposite of her mother, what he likes the most is Concubine Zhao acting like a baby to him, clinging to him, for this reason he is willing to pamper Concubine Zhao...

Because of her doting, the empress dowager didn't want to see her, and her concubines were even more jealous and resentful towards her. If she couldn't escape this time, what would Concubine Zhao do?

There is also his son Wen Kai, who is still far away in Xuanfu.Originally, he was thinking of letting him go to the Xuan Mansion to perform meritorious service and come back, so he would be rewarded well, and by the way, Concubine Zhao's status would be raised, and she would become the Imperial Concubine, and she would be able to stabilize Concubine Xiao who had a son.After that, Wen Kai can be registered as the prince.

But who would have thought that he would suddenly fall ill and might not even be able to wait for Wen Kai to come back.No, no matter what, I want Wen Kai to come back quickly and pass the throne to him.In any case, the country must not be handed over to Wen Quan.For some reason, the emperor always felt that he couldn't see through his second son, and vaguely felt that he would not treat his brother well.

"My concubine, you can step back, don't worry..." The emperor looked at Concubine Zhao, and the word "rest assured" was very heavy.

Concubine Zhao Guifei seemed to have realized something when she heard the words, and retreated holding her handkerchief.

Next, the emperor and his concubines, as well as the prince and princesses said a few words, and then sent them all back with tired words.

However, these people withdrew, but he asked Xuan Weiyu to have an audience.

Wei Yu came to the emperor and bowed to pay his respects. The emperor told her to stand up and said, "Immediately deliver the decree for King Jin to return to Beijing. The sooner the better."

"...Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Yu hesitated a little, but then left the hall immediately.

After leaving the emperor's bedroom, he went to the East Side Hall.The empress dowager is now temporarily living in the east side hall of the apse of the Longevity Palace.

In the afternoon, Wei Yu went to see the Empress Dowager after returning from an errand according to the Empress Dowager's orders.The empress dowager said that if the emperor ordered Wei Yu to do anything, he would ask her to report back to her.That's why Wei Yu went to the East Palace to meet the Empress Dowager after leaving the emperor's bedroom.

The empress dowager had just returned from the emperor's place. At this moment, the maid in front of her was serving to remove the hairpin ring when she heard Wei Yu begging to see her.Then he waved his hand to let the maids in front of him back down first.Turning around from the mirror stand, seeing Wei Yu walk in a few steps and salute in front of him, he asked, "What did the emperor order you to do?"

Wei Yu replied: "Your Majesty ordered ministers to pass the decree on his behalf, so that King Jin, who is far away in the Xuanfu, will return to Beijing immediately."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager just said indifferently: "Understood, you can do it."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Wei Yu gave the Empress Dowager a puzzled look, and stepped back.

Both Wei Yu and the empress dowager understood what the emperor meant, that is, the emperor still wanted to make the third prince Wen Kai the crown prince.It's just that the ministers strongly opposed the emperor's intentions before, but now that the emperor has fallen ill, could it be possible for him to force the third prince to be the new crown prince?Could it be that the Confucian officials didn't object when they saw him fall ill?

But no matter what, the emperor fell ill, and his condition was very serious. Let the third prince return to Beijing quickly. Even if he can't become the prince, serving the emperor in front of the emperor, and even dying for the emperor is what he should do as a son.

Therefore, the empress dowager agreed and let Wei Yu do it.But she didn't want the emperor to continue to be willful and confused.

"Recomb and put on Aijia's hair, Aijia is going to see the emperor." The Empress Dowager greeted the maid who had previously distributed it for her after Wei Yu stepped back.

"Mother, why are you here? It's already this hour, and you are still sick, it's time to rest." The emperor was a little surprised when he saw the empress dowager coming over. At that time, he leaned on the big pillow on the dragon bed and closed his eyes. Calm down, I feel a little upset.

The empress dowager walked straight up to him, and the servant carried Zhang Taishi's chair for the empress dowager to sit on.

"Prince, I'm worried about something for my mother, and I want to talk to you." The empress dowager said bluntly after sitting down.

"Queen, what's the matter? Listen, son." Seeing the solemn expression on the empress dowager's face, the emperor calmed down and said.

"Emperor, you can no longer be self-willed and confused when it comes to establishing a crown prince. Just relying on your personal likes and dislikes, you abandon the rules of your ancestors, and continue to fight protractedly with the Confucian officials in foreign courts. I ask you for my mother, what has happened in the past dynasties? How many things in the past that abolished the elders and established the younger ones can have a good ending? If you are good for your mother and the entire clan, you should quickly establish a new crown prince. Before, being a mother was up to you, who would want to have today? Therefore, in the matter of establishing the crown prince, my mother feels that you can no longer let you follow your own temperament. You should follow the rules of your ancestors and follow the wishes of the Confucian officials, and establish the second prince Wenquan as the second prince. Prince." The empress dowager expressed her intentions earnestly.

After the emperor heard this, his face was ugly, but he still insisted on his own meaning and said: "Mother, look at Wen Quan and Wen Kai, who is more like a promising emperor. Wen Kai is obviously better than Wen Quan in all aspects. .Why do you choose a cowardly and incompetent man to be the crown prince? In the future, when he sits on the throne, there will be many children who are afraid that the powerful ministers will lift him up, and he will become a puppet, and the Great Xia Dynasty will decline because of him."

"Emperor, you also know that the empire of Great Xia has never been supported by the emperor himself. One is ancestral rules and patriarchal etiquette, and the other is Confucian officials and generals. In today's world, the role of Confucian officials is comparable to that of generals." Bigger. As long as the emperor grasps the patriarchal ritual system with one hand, and wins over the Confucian officials from other courts with the other hand, this car of the empire can move forward smoothly. No matter how capable Wen Kai is, can he be more capable than all the Confucian officials in the world? No matter how incompetent Wen Quan is, he is also the eldest brother. He has taken over people's hearts and patriarchal rules. Governing a big country is like cooking small fish, and everything is based on stability. If you think for the sake of all people in the world, you should give up your way of making decisions based on personal likes and dislikes Kai is the prince's thoughts. I have already made my mother's words very clear, so I don't want to say more. Think about it carefully. Hey..."

After finishing speaking, the empress dowager stood up, stretched out her hand and patted the emperor on the shoulder, then turned and left.

"Mother..." the emperor looked at the aging back of the empress dowager in the candlelight and murmured in pain.

-

After the child's hour passed, the emperor's condition suddenly became so serious that he fell into a coma again.When the news spread, the empress dowager and many concubines, princes and princesses in Xiyuan got up. The empress dowager went to the emperor's dragon bed to ask about the emperor's condition. The Queen Mother asked to wait in the Xipei Hall in the front hall of the Longevity Palace.

Zheng Guo, the judge of the Imperial Hospital, told the Empress Dowager solemnly: "I'm afraid I have to prepare for the emperor."

He didn't have a famous saying, but the empress dowager understood what it meant, and couldn't help feeling like a knife was twisting her heart.Despite the preparations in her heart, when the bad news actually came, the empress dowager was still in great pain.

Trying her best not to let her tears fall, she said, "Can the emperor still wake up?"

Zheng Guo: "Maybe you can wake up after dawn, but that's just a reflection of the light. You can take advantage of this time of sobriety to meet the ministers and all the empresses, princes, and princesses."

The empress dowager nodded silently, then walked out slowly.When she sat down in the emperor's study in Xici Room, her tears could no longer hold back and rolled down one after another.After crying for a while, she remembered something, stopped crying, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and asked someone to call Wei Yu, and told her to deliver an order for the cabinet ministers headed by Li Yizhi to prepare See the emperor after dawn, and prepare various ceremonial items after the emperor's death.

As soon as Wei Yu heard it, he understood that the emperor's condition was getting worse, and the imperial doctors were helpless.And when the emperor wants to wake up and wake up, he will summon the cabinet ministers, and there will be a will, which is related to the establishment of the crown prince.

No matter who is Xindi, she has more things to do than others at the moment.She also secretly wondered, which prince will become the new emperor in the end?

At dawn, the unconscious emperor really woke up, looking radiant and full of energy.After he woke up, drank the medicine, and had some breakfast, Wei Yu came in and reported that the empress dowager had issued an edict for the emperor to announce the visit of Li Yizhi, the chief minister of the cabinet, and others, and now she is waiting outside.

The emperor pondered for a while, and said, "Show them in."

He naturally understood what the empress dowager meant, she wanted him to explain some things, otherwise he would have some troubles, and there would be chaos inside and outside the palace.Last night, after the empress dowager said those things to him, when she left, the emperor thought a lot, and finally had to admit that the empress dowager was right.Maybe he can no longer be filial to his mother's side in the future, so listening to his mother's words and allowing her to spend her old age in a stable place can be regarded as what he, an unfilial son who has made his mother worry about countless, can finally do for his mother.

After the chief assistant Li Yizhi and others came in to pay homage to the emperor, the emperor said: "Dear dear friends, I am in a serious condition this time, so to make a long story short. The servant, draw up an order."

The eunuch Bingbi, who was in charge of ceremonies, came up and knelt under the emperor's dragon bed, and put a case in front of him.

The emperor then said slowly: "The second prince is registered today, and King Wenquan of Lu is the prince..."

Many of the cabinet ministers kneeling on the gold bricks let out a long breath.Only the corner of Xu You's eyes twitched.
