Qing Jialu

The emperor's sudden resignation caused a shock in the government and the public, and there were speculations from all sides.Not to mention ordinary courtiers, even the elders in the cabinet were shocked after seeing the imperial edict brought by Shen Jia.Zhang Cifu and Han Chang stopped Shen Jia from asking questions, but he was powerless to resist.It was Cheng Ge who was calm, guessed His Majesty's real hidden illness, and dismissed his colleagues with a few words, allowing Shen Jia to breathe.

At the same time, Jin Yiwei frequently dispatched to strictly investigate the curfew, and the atmosphere in Beijing suddenly became tense.Everyone seemed to have a big stone on their hearts, and they didn't dare to ask more questions, let alone inquire about His Majesty's physical condition.

As for Xiyuan, it was strictly guarded by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and outsiders couldn't even get close to it.The ministers of the court have not seen the emperor for more than ten days since His Majesty dismissed the court.

The only one who can freely enter and exit Yuxi Palace is Shen Jia.

"How is it outside now?" The emperor was sitting in a wheelchair, being slowly pushed by Shen Jia to stroll along the Taiye Pool.

Shen Jia replied: "Ministers are all worried about His Majesty's health. What I said earlier was that I had an occasional cold. Now that it has been delayed for too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to fool them."

Xiao Yi was not surprised by this, and asked with interest: "What are the rumors in private?"

"Your Majesty said that you took King Su to Xiyuan, which means that it might not be a good thing. Some people say..." Shen Jia couldn't continue speaking halfway through.

Xiao Yi had heard Jin Yiwei's report a long time ago, so he answered: "Does it mean that I am unconscious, or even passed away?"

Shen Jia was tongue-tied, "Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense."

However, the emperor, who was rumored to be dying, was happily watching the fish by the pond.After he drank the medicine prescribed by Dr. Fan, he could not stand up with his legs at all, and he could not lift his hands up. He had to write the memorials for review and so on.

No wonder the courtiers were worried. They could neither see the emperor nor see His Majesty's imperial pen. Who would have thought that the emperor was weak in hands and feet, not insane?

After looking at the fish for a while, Xiao Yi asked Shen Jia again: "Is the fourth brother all right?"

Speaking of King Su, Shen Jia's head got bigger, "Fortunately, it's just that I keep pestering me, saying that I want to see you."

He said that he was asking Su Wang to serve him, but Xiao Yi didn't see him.Just letting Eunuch Chen arrange for him to live in the Ningcui Palace in Xiyuan, and letting Shen Jia give lectures to King Su every day, it doesn't count as delaying his studies.

But King Su is not in the mood to attend lectures now, the situation in Beijing is turbulent, everyone is acting mysteriously, and his brother doesn't see him, so he stays in the Ningcui Palace, living like a year.

"You really don't see your brother?" Shen Jia asked.

"It's not yet time." Xiao Yi said softly, looking at the sparkling water in front of him.

Shen Jia frowned, "Your Majesty, it's easy to hide it for ten days and half a month, how can you hide it until the Chinese New Year? It's fine if you don't go to court on weekdays. If you meet a big ceremony, won't you show your face, Your Majesty?"

"Hey, I also know it's difficult. Let's keep it a secret for a day." Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Is there anyone in the cabinet who is suspicious?"

"Of course I have." Shen Jia thought of the way Han Chang looked at her now, and suddenly felt chills on his back, "Han Ge has been suspicious for a long time, and he has repeatedly told me that he even suspects that I am not good for His Majesty. Zhang If Mr. Ge doesn’t say anything, I’m afraid he’s also suspicious of me.”

If it weren't for Cheng Ge's constant pressure, Shen Jia might not have been able to hide them for so long.

"Han Chang is really alert and loyal." Xiao Yi said, "If you really can't hide it from him, don't hide it. When the time comes, bring him to see me, and everything will be resolved."

"Where's Mr. Zhang Ge?" Shen Jia asked again.

"Zhang Xu is a man with a head and a mouse, I don't trust him." Xiao Yi said, "Let's take a look first, and see who can't hold back and jump out first."

For Xiao Yi's black belly, Shen Jia has a deep understanding again, and is even more enthralled.Even though he was already sick like this, he still didn't forget to light a fire in Beijing.

On the willow shoots on the moon, after three o'clock at night, it's already time for curfew.Under Jin Yiwei's strict control, some people still ventured out and sneaked into King Kui's mansion under the cover of night.The visitor came to King Kui's study under the leadership of the young eunuch of the palace.

King Kui did not fall asleep, but sat in his study and waited.Seeing that person in a black robe coming in a hurry, he couldn't help but smile: "Long time no see."

The person who came took off his hood and revealed his true face. It was Zhang Xu, the second assistant.

"His Royal Highness King Kui." Zhang Xu cupped his hands.

"Mr. Zhang Ge, please sit down." King Kui said to the little eunuch with the appearance of a courteous corporal, "Tea."

"No need." Elder Zhang Ge refused, "Time is running out, and I can't stay for long."

King Kui nodded and waved the little eunuch down, leaving only the two of them in the study.

"Mr. Zhang Ge sent someone to contact me before, which really surprised me." King Kui asked with a half-smile, "I didn't expect Mr. Zhang Ge to have the intention of treason?"

Zhang Xu's face darkened when he was told, and he corrected him: "It's not rebellion, it's Qing Jun's side."

"Mr. Qing's side?" King Kui suddenly laughed.God, can I have another excuse?When his second elder brother rebelled against him, he also used the name of Qing Jun.

"Your Majesty has not shown up for a long time, and Cheng Ge's attitude is not clear. Xiyuan is guarded by people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and only Shen Jia can enter." Zhang Xu said seriously, "The old minister suspects that His Majesty has been guarded by Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Control, they blackmail the emperor to make the princes."

"So you took the risk to contact me, what do you want me to do?"

"It's a great opportunity, why didn't His Royal Highness King Kui seize it?" Zhang Xu induced, "If His Majesty is really... the old minister thinks that compared to the young King Su, you are the one who can inherit the great line."

Zhang Xu didn't dare to tell about His Majesty's death, but he had already thought so in his heart, so he had the courage to give it a try.

"Maybe it's just a minor illness. Second brother will recover in a few days. If you are like this...don't you let me fall into a trap?"

"How could it be a minor illness?" Zhang Xu was very sure of this point, "Your Majesty has always been diligent in administration, and since he succeeded to the throne, he has almost never avoided going to court early. But now, His Majesty has not been in court for more than half a month, and the memorials are not available. It's too abnormal to hand it over to the Supervisor of Ceremonies for approval."

King Kui smiled secretly, you want people with weak limbs to approve the memorial?He is well aware of the symptoms of the cold poison. After all, the cold poison in his body just broke out some time ago.

But this time, King Kui's cold poison had the same symptoms as Xiao Yi's, and it also spread to his limbs.So when he heard that his second brother ignored court and ignored affairs, he immediately understood.

"It's said that Zhang Ge is always a fool, but I didn't expect you to have such ambitions." King Kui had to look at this man differently.

Those who can join the cabinet should not be underestimated.

Zhang Xu is not ashamed of his title of "grass on the wall", but proud of it.He also said with a smile: "The grass on the wall should see the situation clearly, and wait for the wind to blow before falling. Is it too late?"

If you want to be a good wall grass, you should predict the wind direction and choose the place that is most beneficial to you.

"Mr. Zhang Ge's insights are unique." King Kui couldn't help giving a thumbs up, "Unfortunately, I have no interest in the throne."

Zhang Xu was shocked when he heard the words, there are people who don't care about the position of emperor and don't want to rule the world?

However, at the next moment, King Kui said again: "But we can still cooperate. Because this king is very interested in the 'Qing Emperor's side', does Mr. Zhang Ge want to get rid of a person beside the emperor?"

Looking at King Kui's sinister smile, Zhang Xu suddenly realized.

The person King Kui wanted to get rid of was Shen Jia.
