Chapter 1452 757 Apoplexy

On the first day of September, in the remote capital, the emperor looked at the military report in his hand in the imperial study, and the dragon was very happy.

Good news!

"Good! Great!"

The emperor seemed to be a few years younger all of a sudden, and his face was radiant.

Eunuch Liu, who was on the side, had not seen the emperor show his face for a long time, and deliberately asked, "Your Majesty, is it good news from the Western Xinjiang?"

The emperor smiled and said, "Huairen, Lord Huai really lived up to my expectations!"

According to the good news, after Han Huaijun led 30,000 reinforcements to Feixia Mountain, he joined forces with the Western Xinjiang army stationed there to fight against the Xiye army, and finally managed to defend Feixia Mountain, causing the enemy to retreat temporarily.

"Congratulations to the emperor! This is the emperor's discerning eyes to recognize heroes." Eunuch Liu said with a smile, saying that the emperor was in a more cheerful mood, and he laughed out loud while stroking his beard.

The emperor couldn't help but looked down at the good news again, squinting slightly.

So good!

Let Han Huaijun set back Xi Ye's spirit first, then Xi Ye will know that Da Yu is not weak to be bullied, and he has no power to backhand, then Da Yu and Xi Ye propose peace talks, and it will definitely be smoother!

At this moment, a small servant walked into the imperial study and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Prince Chu is here."

The King of Chu was the emperor's cousin. He was an idle clan. On weekdays, he liked listening to operas, walking birds, and playing with food.

The emperor happened to be in a good mood, so he signaled the little servant to invite someone in.

Soon, the hearty laughter of King Chu came from outside, and a fat middle-aged man walked into the imperial study with a red lacquered wooden food box, his eyes squinting and looking very kind. He walked closer, bowed to the emperor, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, my younger brother just recently got a good cook who makes dim sum, and I specially asked the elder brother to appreciate it. It is definitely not worse than the royal chef in this palace!"

As soon as the King of Chu said that, he personally handed the food box to Eunuch Liu.

Father Liu opened the food box and took out two plates of desserts, one plate was lotus root starch sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the other plate was pine nut milk crust crisp, the dessert was still hot, the tempting aroma came with the heat, the dessert was very delicate.

The King of Chu said with a smile, "Brother, let's try."

The emperor casually twisted a piece of pine nut milk pastry, took a bite, and after biting off the thin outer layer of sugar, the inside was soft, waxy and sweet.

The emperor praised and said: "This pine nut milk pastry is really good, sixth brother, your mouth is really more tricky than me."

"Many thanks to the emperor for your praise." The King of Chu cupped his hands, and then he remembered something, and said, "Brother Huang, speaking of it, the younger brother remembers that the fifth emperor's nephew also likes the pine nut milk pastry. Tomorrow, the younger brother will bring some more."

The emperor was stunned for a while, thinking about what to say, and said: "Yeah, I remember that I liked this pine nut milk pastry the most when I was young, and I had to eat a plate of it every day..."

"My brother also remembers..." The King of Chu casually talked to the emperor for a while, and then left.

When there was only the emperor left in the imperial study, the emperor stared at the pine nut pastry for a long time without saying a word, then suddenly got up and said, "Huairen, go, follow me to the study...bring this pine nut pastry with me."

As soon as Eunuch Liu heard it, he knew that the emperor wanted to bring this pine nut milk pastry to the fifth prince, so he hurriedly responded and said, "His Royal Highness the fifth prince will definitely be grateful for the emperor's loving heart." I just hope that the father and son can turn their battles into jade and silk this time. .

After the emperor took him, Eunuch Liu and the two little servants out of the imperial study, they went up to the study.

The temperature of September in the capital is just right. The autumn wind is blowing slowly, and there is a faint scent of cinnamon in the breeze, which is refreshing.

At this time, it was already halfway through, and the direction of the study was quiet. The Grand Master had already finished his class for the fifth prince. There was only the fifth prince in the study. It's tight, the emperor has not yet thought about choosing a new companion for the fifth prince.

The fifth prince, Han Lingfan, was sitting behind the desk by the window. A torreya chessboard was placed in front of him.

When the little housekeeper screamed, "The emperor is coming," Han Lingfan hurriedly stood up to greet him, and raised his robes to kneel and salute the emperor.

"Get up, Xiao Wu." Seeing that Han Lingfan's frail figure seemed to have lost a circle, the emperor's eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his hand.

The chess game on the case has already been set halfway. Thinking that the fifth prince was playing chess here alone, and he didn't even have anyone to play chess, the emperor felt a little softhearted, and said, "Sit down." Then he turned to Liu. The father-in-law made a gesture.

Eunuch Liu immediately took out the plate of pine nut milk pastry from the food box. The emperor smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, this pine nut milk pastry is not bad. I remember you like it the most. You can try the taste."

After a month and a half, the father and son sat together again.

The fifth prince thanked the emperor and sat down with a wry smile in his heart: before he was seven years old, he really liked pine nut milk pastry, but now he is old. Is it in the heart of the father, I hope that these sons will never grow up...

After the father and son each ate a piece of pine nut milk pastry, the emperor relaxed even more, picked up the black child in the chess box and said, "Little Wu, I'm here for the next game."

Following that, he directly played half of the chess game and landed a black piece.

Han Lingfan responded, and Bai Zi followed.

For a long time, the study room was quiet, only the clear sound of father and son making their moves continued... The chess game gradually came to an end, and the black and white children refused to give in to each other, each occupying a piece of the world...

The emperor stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, your chess skills have improved a lot. Now you can play as well as I..." Xiao Wu is indeed smart, no matter reading, playing chess, and the six skills of a gentleman. Study well.

Han Lingfan sat down and bowed, "Thank you for your praise."

Between the words, the emperor lost another son.

Seeing the emperor's brows and eyes with a smile, Han Lingfan's heart moved. Hearing that a report from the Western Xinjiang Army was sent to the palace today, the father and emperor were in such a good mood. Could it be... a good news? !

It must be so! Cousin Jun is a capable man.

Han Lingfan couldn't help but feel refreshed. Since there is good news in the western region, then...

After hesitating for a moment, he still asked: "My son is in a good mood to see that the emperor is in a good mood, but what's the happy event?"

The emperor was really in a good mood, so he told the news that he had just received the news from Xijiang. Han Lingfan was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Father, that's great, cousin Jun is so brave and good at fighting, he will definitely be able to recover the lost. City, beat the Xiye army out of my Dayu territory and show the prestige of our country!"

The emperor frowned slightly, Xiao Wu was still too naive, Han Huaijun was able to defend Feixia Mountain because Feixia Mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Xi Ye only sent 80,000 troops. With more reinforcements, Dayu may be in danger.

The emperor took a deep breath and carefully analyzed the benefits and disadvantages with Han Lingfan, and then said: "Little Wu, the ruler, the safety of the society and the country, and the chaos of the country are all up to one person. To overthrow the tyranny of the previous dynasty and unify the world, however, it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to maintain a business. To be a king, you must look at the overall situation, seek auspiciousness and avoid evil. He is a sinner through the ages, and he is bound to stink forever!"

Hearing this, Han Lingfan's brows were furrowed, and he obviously didn't take it seriously. Eunuch Liu, who was on the side, looked anxious. The father and son finally eased up.

Eunuch Liu desperately gave Han Lingfan a wink, but Han Lingfan still said: "Father, please listen to my son. Xiye is ruthless, and I have a lot of money, and thousands of soldiers in the western border swear to death in the war of resistance. , I sacrificed my life for the country, and now my Dayu army is in high morale and is trying to defeat the barbarians. At this time, asking for peace, wouldn’t those frontier soldiers be chilled, and let the people of the world think that the court is useless, and beg for surrender to the barbarians?!”

Chilling, useless, begging for surrender... These words pierced the emperor's heart like thousands of needles. The emperor's complexion became more and more ugly. It turns out that in Xiao Wu's heart, he actually treats his father and emperor like this, and he dares to scold and disobey himself!

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one dared to preach to him like this!

Maybe their father and son have long since branched off to two different forks, drifting away from each other...

It's your fault!

Xiao Wu shouldn't be allowed to get close to Nangong's family, he should teach Xiao Wu himself, now Xiao Wu is stubborn, disrespectful, and hopeless...

The emperor didn't speak for a while, the father and son looked at each other for a long time, Han Lingfan did not flinch, and said loudly: "Father, to bow down to the barbarians for the sake of safety, and to pay tribute to the barbarians to keep the throne, is not the style of a great country in the Central Plains! Father, please think twice!"

The anger in the emperor's heart is getting stronger and stronger, and he is really condoning Xiao Wu!

The emperor gritted his teeth and said angrily: "If the ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains in Dayu are handed over to you, sooner or later, the land will collapse, and the country will be destroyed!

Han Lingfan's face turned pale, and his eyes couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes. It was obvious that the emperor's words deeply stabbed him.

He was silent for a long time, thousands of thoughts flashed in his mind, and finally he clenched his fists, looked up at the emperor, and said cautiously:

"Father, since this is the case, then the father does not need to hand over the country to the son. The son thinks that in life, he should do something and not do something, and the son does not want to go against his heart!"

"you!"

The emperor stood up angrily, his face was blue, purple, white, and changed several times, the veins on his forehead floated, and his breathing became short...

Eunuch Liu looked wrong and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body..."

Before he could finish his words, the emperor didn't catch his breath. He clutched his chest and fell to the chair behind. Bang, his body slammed on the desk, and the chess game on the chessboard was chaotic. go to the study...

"emperor!"

"Father!"

The nervous exclamations sounded one after another in the upper study, and the crowd became a mess. Eunuch Liu and a small servant hurried to help the unconscious emperor, and sat down with his limp body...

There was no blood on Han Lingfan's face, and he felt even more uneasy in his heart. He urgently ordered: "Quick! Quickly go to the imperial doctor!"

A small servant hurried away, Han Lingfan clenched his fists tightly.

The air in the study room was heavy, and after a while, Imperial Physician Wu and Imperial Physician Zhang from the Imperial Hospital came to hear the news. The two of them immediately checked the emperor's pulse. They both looked solemn and said that the emperor had a stroke. The emperor had a stroke a few years ago. I've had a stroke, this time it's a resurgence of an old disease...

After Wu Taiyi gave the emperor acupuncture, he first sent the emperor back to the bedroom, and Han Lingfan naturally went with him. He was almost overwhelmed with guilt. It was all his fault. , then you will be to blame for your own death...

The news of the emperor's stroke spread all over the palace as if he had grown wings. In addition to the imprisoned Prince Chengjun, Han Lingguan, the prince of Shunjun, the young sixth prince, several princesses, concubines, and Some clansmen heard the news, and for a while, the emperor's bedroom was in chaos, and many people were buzzing like headless flies...

Until the queen came out of the emperor's bedroom, she said loudly to the chaotic crowd outside: "The emperor is in urgent need of rest now, everyone should go back first."

After the others looked at each other in dismay, they bowed to the queen, ready to retreat...

At this moment, a young male voice asked: "Empress mother, dare to ask why the father suddenly suffered a stroke? Obviously the father was fine in the early days, and he is refreshed!"

Everyone couldn't help but follow the sound, only to see Han Lingguan, the king of Shun County, walking in front of the queen, looking directly at the queen.

The queen's face changed slightly, and she was a little flustered. Of course, she knew that the emperor fainted in the study, and Xiao Wu was beside the emperor at that time.

The queen frowned, and raised her voice with a pretense of anger: "Han Lingguan, your father, the emperor, is in a bad state. You are still making a lot of noise here. It's really unfilial!" She raised her right arm and said angrily, " Come on, you won't send Duke Shun out to Ben Gong!"

Han Lingguan did not show any signs of timidity. Instead, he took a step forward and said, "Empress mother, why do you want to add guilt! My son is just concerned about why the emperor suddenly fell ill!"

"King Shunjun is right, the Empress is too exaggerated." A middle-aged fat man walked out from behind Han Lingguan, who was the King of Chu, and echoed loudly.

A light flashed in Han Lingguan's eyes, he looked at the little servants on the side, and asked, "How do you servants serve the father? Alright, how did the father get a stroke?!"

His voice was so aggressive that several of the little servants trembled with fright, and they all lowered their eyes and dared not speak.

"Second Emperor," Han Lingfan's voice came from behind the Empress. He walked out of the Emperor's bedroom and looked at Han Lingguan with a gloomy expression, "I just went to the study, and I was with this palace..."

"Little Five!" The Queen's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly interrupted Han Lingfan.

Then, for Han Lingguan, this sentence was enough. Instead of pressing Han Lingfan, he said directly to a 14- or 15-year-old servant, "Xiao Huazi, tell me! What the hell is going on?"

The little maid named Xiaohuazi moved his lips and finally murmured: "Yes...it was the fifth prince who was arguing with the emperor...the emperor passed out..."

Although the little servant did not explicitly say that it was the fifth prince who had stunned the emperor, the meaning of the words was obvious.

The surroundings were silent for a moment, and there were several gasps in the room, and everyone looked at Han Lingfan in disbelief.

Han Lingguan frowned and looked at Han Lingfan, and asked indignantly, "Brother Five Emperors, is there really such a thing?"

Han Lingfan lowered his head, trembling slightly, and did not defend himself.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe of a Taishi came over and said: "The emperor's sister-in-law, the second nephew, the fifth nephew, and the emperor's brother are all ill, now is not the time to blame each other, the top priority is to treat first. The dragon body of a good emperor is the one."

Several ministers had already arrived at this time, and the Minister of Works said: "What the lord said is true. It's just that the emperor is seriously ill, but this state affairs cannot be delayed. Who should supervise the state?"

The other cabinet ministers also looked at each other in dismay. Gu Mo and Li Heng thought of something, and secretly said that it was not good.

The Minister of Rites said, "Last time the emperor was ill, it was Duke Gong who was in charge of the country, but now King Gong has gone to the western border..."

"Naturally, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince will supervise the country." Duke Enguo hurriedly suggested, "His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is the direct son, for the orthodox..."

"Your Highness is wrong," the Minister of Industry interrupted Duke Enguo lightly, "His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is ill with anger, the emperor is not filial, how can he convict the country! Enclosed, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is young, and this official thinks that only Prince Shun is the most suitable candidate." After speaking, he looked at the first assistant Cheng Dongyang on the right and said, "Master Cheng, what do you think?"

Cheng Dongyang glanced around the crowd with a serious expression, just as the Minister of Works said, in fact, everyone knows that there is no other candidate for the current Wangdu except the Shunjun King Han Lingguan.

"Your Highness," Cheng Dongyang's eyes fell on Han Lingguan's body, and he bowed deeply, "The emperor's dragon is in ill health, but the country can't be without a master for a day, and please ask the prince to preside over the overall situation for the emperor!"

The room was quiet again, and then saw the Minister of Works, the Minister of Rites, and several imperial clans all bowing and responding in unison.

Except for Duke Enguo, the Queen, Gu Mo, Li Heng, and others, almost all the others gathered beside Han Lingguan, bowing their heads to him.

At a glance, Han Lingguan stood out from the crowd and was in high spirits.

At this moment, the overall situation is set!

Han Lingguan was silent for a long time. After a while, he sighed helplessly and bowed humbly: "For the sake of the father and the great wealth, this king will temporarily supervise the country on behalf of the father."

After speaking, his tone became more and more decisive and loud!

Duke En Guo, the Queen, Gu Mo, Li Heng and the others all had gloomy expressions, but they were helpless and could not find a reason to oppose Han Ling's view of supervising the country.

Once Han Lingguan is in power, they will probably have a hard time in the future...

What happened this time was too sudden. Neither party was sufficiently prepared to react in time, so they were at a disadvantage. They could only sit and watch the situation and leaned in the direction that was beneficial to Han Lingguan.

After a stick of incense, everyone left the emperor's bedroom one after another, while the queen, Duke En Guo and the fifth prince Han Lingfan went to the queen's Fengluan Palace.

The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing, En Guogong calmed down and asked Han Lingfan what happened, Han Lingfan said it one by one, feeling guilty, and finally said: "Mother, grandfather, it's all my fault... …”

"His Royal Highness, I always feel that something is not quite right..." Duke Enguo frowned and said that the emperor's stroke happened so suddenly that they had no time to deal with it. It's a matter of course!

Han Lingfan's face is decadent, the whole person seems to be lost, and he doesn't know where his soul is drifting...

Duke Enguo pondered for a moment, and then said: "Empress Empress, could it be that there is someone from Prince Shun in the palace who told Prince Shun that the emperor fainted early so that he could be prepared?"

Seeing Han Lingfan's haggard appearance, the queen was heartbroken and said without thinking, "Father, according to this palace, it must be Han Lingguan who deliberately framed Xiao Wu. He wants to take control of the court while Han Lingfu is away, intending to rebel. !"

The queen gritted her teeth in anger and looked excited.

"The Empress, don't worry, the more this time comes, the more calm we must be. We can't make mistakes again." Duke Enguo comforted the Queen patiently, "His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is the heir, the orthodox of the Great Yu, and it is definitely not something that can be replaced by a mere scoundrel. of."

The queen responded, but her face was still sinking. The emperor was still in a coma, her condition was unknown, and the situation was not optimistic. How could she calm down.

Duke En Guo reassured the queen and left in a hurry. He must contact someone as soon as possible and find a way to reverse the situation!

"Fan'er..." The queen called Han Lingfan softly, trying to persuade him to rest for a while, but saw that Han Lingfan suddenly knelt on the ground.

"The queen mother, the son is not filial, the father is sick with anger, and the mother and queen worry about the son..."

"Fan'er!" The queen leaned over to protect Han Lingfan, trying to comfort him, "It's not your fault, you don't want to..."

At this moment, the queen's heart is full of resentment, resentment against the emperor, if not for the emperor, how could her Fan Er be forced to this step!
