Chapter 1389 The Foolish Empress 12
As soon as he said this, Yushi Weng jumped up: "What do you mean by your words, saying that I don't understand the sufferings of the people, and you are talking nonsense? You might as well say clearly that my ancestors were slaves, and I followed the great ancestor to lead horses and deliver messages. He was a soldier who performed many meritorious deeds before he was released from slavery. What is the rule of the Chen Dynasty that criminals cannot join the army? "
King Duan stood up suddenly: "Although there are no regulations, you can go out and ask them now, which one of them is not starving at home and has nowhere to make a living, so they follow me."
Weng Yushi sneered and spoke in a strange tone: "If I hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that His Royal Highness Duan Wang's tens of thousands of horses are still outside, and they have almost emptied the national treasury granary."
"You~" King Duan finally burst into anger.
"Hey, hey, you two!" They were about to start a quarrel if they continued, so Xining quickly smoothed things over: "King Duan and Qin have merit, and Yu Shi Weng is a veteran of the humerus. It's rare to meet, so don't hurt your harmony, don't hurt your kindness!"
< br>
"Hmph~" Prince Duan flicked his sleeves and sat down again, his handsome face full of anger.
Yushi Weng was unwilling to give in. He stood up straight, lowered his eyes and squinted, saying sarcastically: "It's rare, but it's not necessarily true. One day His Highness Duan Wang wants to be King Qin again, he will bring tens of thousands more people to the capital."
< br>
Didn't this make Prince Dan jump up again?
"Oops~" Xining covered his forehead, what should I say to this old man.
She had a headache and covered her forehead with an idea. She sat on the dragon chair and pretended to be sick: "Oh, I have a headache."
At this time, all the courtiers looked nervous, and some shouted for the imperial doctor.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Xining covered his forehead and said, "Maybe it was because of the drinking last night that there was a little wind. I will call the imperial doctor over, so you don't have to panic. Today's matter can be discussed later. I will withdraw from the court. .”
The eunuch in charge immediately shouted: "Retreat!"
All the ministers immediately knelt down and said: "Send me off to Your Majesty."
Xining stood up and straightened his clothes. Hum, the fight is not as important as the empress' body. Let's go! Turn around and leave.
Returning to the palace, I had just changed into regular clothes when a group of old ministers came over to ask for an audience.
Needless to say, it is not about the migration of the people of Yan. King Duan wanted to take people away, but for the sake of the body owner, of course he disagreed. But under the current situation, it's my turn to disagree. Those officers and soldiers are still stationed inside and outside the city.
"Your Majesty!" the chief steward said softly: "The imperial physician has arrived. Do you want to summon him?"
Xining half-reclined, holding his temples with his hands, feeling very irritable: "Pass it on."
The imperial doctor came in, knelt down in front of the bed, covered her wrist with a veil, and took her pulse.
After a while, the imperial doctor diagnosed: "Your Majesty is thinking too much and the blood is pulsing, causing the meridians to be blocked. You only need to nurse yourself back to health for a few days. Don't worry too much and strain your mind, and you will recover naturally. I will give you a prescription for calming the mind and clearing the fire later. Let’s take three doses and see.”
It's just annoying, but he still talks so rhetorically. Xining closed his eyes and waved slightly. The chief manager immediately understood: "The doctor, please come aside and prescribe a prescription."
When the imperial doctor finished prescribing the prescription and picked up the consultation box and went out, he was surrounded by a group of waiting veterans asking about the empress' condition.
The imperial doctor repeated what he just said before getting out.
A minister lowered his voice: "Isn't there already?"
"Of course not, otherwise the good news would have been announced long ago."
"This is not necessarily true. If the fetus has just been conceived, it will take several months before the good news is announced." If the fetus is too small, it is often not announced until the fetus is big and stable, and then the announcement is made.
"But, let's look at it. It's been five years since he took the throne, why haven't he yet?" He began to worry about the issue of the empress's heirs.
"It's not urgent. Your Majesty is still young, and Prince Duan doesn't have one either." Now all the attention was focused on the empress's choice of a concubine for Prince Duan.
While they were chatting happily, the chief steward came out: "My lords, the imperial physician said that His Majesty needs to rest for a few days, so he cannot see you back today. Everyone, please come back!"
Even if you want to give advice, you need to wait until the empress is in better health before doing so. So a group of old ministers went back. On the way, they couldn't help but murmur and gossip again.
Xining lay down and after taking a nap, he opened his eyes and saw a bowl of soup in front of him.
Xining looked at the bowl of dark concoction: "Help me get some candied fruit to relieve the pain."
The chief steward immediately brought a small plate.
Xining looked at it and saw it was peach preserves: "I want to eat sugary bayberry."
Before the chief manager sent her servants to get it, she immediately added: "You go and get it, you do the work, then I can rest assured."
The chief steward's lips curled up: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and get it now." After stepping down, he left the palace and ran all the way to get it.
Xining lifted the thin quilt, stood up, picked up the medicine, put his nose to the mouth of the bowl and sniffed. I had been a military doctor for several months and had also taken medicine. Based on my experience and smell, it should clear away heat, relieve fire, soothe the mind and calm the qi. Anyway, if you don't take it well, at least you won't die if you take it.
It was three parts of the medicine that was poisonous. She picked up the medicine, walked to the side, and poured the medicine directly into the flower pot. The serving ladies did not dare to raise their heads. They did not see what His Majesty did!
Xining took the empty bowl, walked to the bed and lay down again. Only then did the palace maids come over to help with pillows and quilts.
He waited with an empty bowl until the chief steward came excitedly running in with a plate. She quickly scraped her fingers on the wall of the bowl, raised the empty bowl and pretended to drink again, secretly smearing the medicinal soup on her fingers into the corner of her mouth.
"Ahem~" Xining put down the bowl and frowned, as if he was enduring the pain of the medicine.
The chief steward immediately presented the candied fruit: "Your Majesty, the sugar bayberry is here, hurry up and squeeze out the bitterness with one."
Xining picked one with his fingers and put it into his mouth. The palace maid handed over the handkerchief. She slowly wiped the medicine from the corner of her mouth and returned the handkerchief to the palace lady.
The chief steward smiled: "Your Majesty has not liked taking medicine since he was a child. Every time he takes medicine, he has to coax him for a long time. Sometimes candied fruits and sugar don't work!"
Xining held the bayberry in her mouth and smiled: "Everyone will grow up."
Have you grown up? The palace maid glanced secretly, and she poured the medicine just now.
Xining asked if there was anyone waiting to be summoned outside the door. The answer was naturally no. Seeing that the empress was ill, a group of old ministers went back to their respective homes.
The chief steward lowered his voice and asked: "Your Majesty is still worried about the migration of the people in Yandi?"
Xining leaned on the pillow, closed his eyes and smiled: "You still have to think about it carefully. If you agree, you must have countermeasures to manage these people. You can't go there and cause trouble and disturb the people there. If you don't go, you have to give it to King Duan. An explanation.”
That was all to the point. The empress still wanted to take these people there so that nothing would happen in the future.
The chief steward no longer asked about this matter. Asking was considered as concern for the empress's troubles. To put it more bluntly, it is the eunuch interfering in the affairs of the court.
Then change it!
The chief steward smiled and looked at the empress's face from time to time: "Your Majesty said yesterday that I have almost done the job of helping King Duan find someone. I will wait until your Majesty gets better and bring it to your Majesty for inspection."
