Lu Huaining looked at the three sticks of incense handed over by the tsing-clothed servant, his eyes almost popped out, but he felt that the three sticks of incense were as heavy as three mountains, and he didn't dare to take them...
Lu Huaining's heart suddenly lifted, his body stiffened, he carefully looked at the emperor's face, and sighed inwardly: This son of Xiao really dares to do it! Or rather, Marquis Anyi...
Lu Huaining's eyes swept across the official Yubai in white, and he couldn't help but speculate on the intentions of the two. What are they both trying to do? !
The emperor looked at Xiao Yi for a while, and Guan Yubai again for a while, the blue veins on his forehead pulsing slightly...
No reason! It's so deceiving!
He wanted to see what would happen to Xiao Yigan if he didn't pick it up? !
The emperor gritted his teeth, some words had already reached his mouth, but he heard Han Lingfu's deliberately lowered voice coming from beside him: "Father..."
The emperor looked at Han Lingfu subconsciously. When the father and son looked directly at each other, the emperor shuddered and suddenly came to his senses.
At this time, the overall situation is the most important, and you can't be impulsive!
Never give Xiao Yi any excuse to stir up trouble!
In ancient times, Goujian tried his hardest, Han Xin endured the humiliation of his crotch, and looked at the future!
The emperor's eyes turned to Lu Huaining again, and he gritted his teeth: "Lu Huaining..."
For the emperor, these three words alone are already extremely humiliating, almost exhausting the strength of the whole body.
The emperor didn't need to go on, Lu Huaining already understood what the emperor meant.
Lu Huaining hurriedly took the three incense sticks in the hands of the tsing-clothed servant, and then quickly walked to the emperor's chariot, biting his head and presented it.
The emperor's right hand was slowly lifted, extremely laborious and extremely slow, his hand and his wrist were even trembling slightly, showing the humiliation in the emperor's heart.
Han Lingfu was by the emperor's side, naturally taking the emperor's shame and anger in his eyes, and looked away calmly.
Han Lingfan on the other side also noticed, his eyes became darker and more complicated, with shame, emotion, and respect...
On the one hand, Han Lingfan felt sad for the humility of the southern border because of his father and brother, the dignified emperor and the county king. On the other hand, he felt that Guan Ruyan was worthy of his father's three sticks of incense, Guan Ruyan. To be the three sticks of incense in the world!
The officials galloped on the battlefield for Dayu. They did not die under the sword of the enemy, but died under the intrigue of the Dayu people, and died under the recklessness of their father...
The son does not speak of his father's faults, what's more, he and the father are not only father and son, but also monarchs and ministers!
In the past six months or so, Han Lingfan has deeply realized this...
Han Lingfan took a deep breath, calmed down again, and watched his father take the three sticks of incense without blinking, watched his father lifted the three sticks of incense humiliatingly, and looked at Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai turned on their horses and watched Guan Yubai suddenly look back before leaving——
At that glance, after nearly ten years, the vicissitudes of life, the flashy 3000 seems to have never been reflected in the eyes of the youth.
For a moment, Han Lingfan vaguely remembered the scene when Guan Yu Bai accompanied Guan Ruyan back to the capital to report to the emperor when he was a child. At that time, Guan Yu Bai had an outstanding demeanor and a radiant appearance, which was completely different from the thin and sick young man now. people……
A gust of breeze blew, and the wind and sand blew Han Lingfan's eyes a little blurry.
Looking at it again, Guan Yubai doesn't seem to have changed, his eyes are still as firm as a rock!
"Your Majesty," the official language Bai Qingyue's voice came from the wind, "My official family is worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of Dayu!"
Before the last word was uttered, Guan Yubai had already galloped away without hesitation, galloping side by side with Xiao Yi, and the three thousand Southern Border Army escorted the mottled coffins to the south...
The emperor seemed to be stunned, holding up the three sticks of incense blankly, and didn't come back to his senses for a while.
Three sticks of incense honor the heroic spirit of the deceased.
Three sticks of incense cut off the former monarch-subject friendship.
The incense ashes slowly drooped, fell, and then drifted away with the wind, dissipating in the wind...
The emperor stared blankly at the distant Southern Border Army, until he was scalded by a piece of incense ash that fell on the back of his hand, and he suddenly woke up. His mind was swaying, as if his strength had been drained from his body, his body was weak and powerless.
The words that Guan Yubai left before leaving flashed in the emperor's ears again, and the emperor's heart trembled slightly.
The official family, the official family army of Dayu...
The source of everything is the official family.
If Guan Ruyan hadn't died back then, and if the Guan family's army had not been destroyed, how could Xi Ye dare to invade the Western Border? ! Then Zhennan Prince's Mansion will not have the chance to win Xiye, and now he will not be reduced to bowing down to Zhennan Prince's Mansion!
That trace of regret just appeared, and was immediately smothered by the emperor.
He is right!
He didn't kill Guan Ruyan, he just ordered to bring Guan Ruyan and his son to the capital for trial, and he didn't know that Guan Ruyan would be killed on the road...
Moreover, if the official family is still there, is it really beneficial to Dayu?
People are not enough to swallow elephants, and the official family will eventually be the same as Zhennan Wangfu, not to put the imperial court in the eyes!
Without Dayu, where would these so-called famous generals come from!
The emperor's fist clenched tightly, and he said to himself in his heart, he did nothing wrong, it was these rebels who were wrong, the emperor was ordered by the heaven, but they didn't know how to appreciate the kindness of the emperor, and dared to have the heart of not being a minister!
But now, for the sake of Dayu Jiangshan, he can only hold back his anger for a while and wait for the opportunity... These chaotic ministers will be punished sooner or later!
"Imperial Father..." Han Lingfu looked at the emperor's uncertain face, and said cautiously.
Today's Han Lingfu is most afraid of the emperor's illness again. He once quietly asked the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital and knew that the emperor's dragon body could not withstand another stroke, but at this time the emperor could not die, the emperor must live well, he to give yourself the opportunity to...
Han Lingfu's seemingly caring eyes flashed a vicious light.
However, the emperor only saw what he wanted to see, with a look of relief. As soon as he gave an order, the 5,000 Imperial Forest Army embarked on the return journey back to the capital...
Amid the hoarse cicadas, the summer in the capital gradually came to an end.
On the third day of the ninth lunar month, after repeated requests from the Minister of Rites and the Qin Tianjian, the emperor finally decided to hold the canonization ceremony of the prince on the tenth day of the ninth lunar month.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs began to rush to make the prince's auspicious clothes, and the Ministry of Rites also began to prepare the prince's golden seal... These news made the queen's heart a little bit.
The turbulence above the court gradually calmed down as the crowning ceremony of the crown prince approached. Everyone in the court and the public knew that this time the crown prince was the king of Jingjun, and nothing would go wrong again...
Everything seemed to be settled, and only Eunuch Liu, who served closely by the emperor, knew that the emperor's situation was not good. He originally thought that after Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai left, the emperor could put down the huge stone in his heart, but the emperor seemed to be in a nightmare. It's like being entangled, you need to use soothing tea every day to fall asleep, the dragon body is getting weaker every day...
The time soon came to the day before the auspicious day, that is, on the ninth day of September, the emperor personally took the empress, Han Lingfan, Han Lingfu and other royal relatives to the Taimiao to make sacrifices to the heaven and earth, the Taimiao and the society for the establishment of the crown prince.
On the tenth day of September, the establishment ceremony of the crown prince finally began!
In the early morning, when the sky was bright, the Imperial Forest Army stood in awe-inspiring manner outside the Meridian Gate. Civil and military officials and noble clans were all gathered here according to their grades...
When the auspicious time came, Han Lingfan, dressed in the crown of the crown prince, followed the guide from the East Palace to the Golden Palace.
At this time, the Golden Palace was solemn and solemn.
Baiguan stood on both sides, the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe was already sitting on the high dragon chair, the queen was sitting on the phoenix chair watching her emperor approaching step by step, her eyes were wet.
Han Lingfan knelt in the hall while the celebrant sang the decree, and the first assistant Cheng Dongyang read out the edict and read the decree of Emperor Dayu. Thank you for being worshipped by hundreds of officials.
The Golden Palace was full of prosperity. Only the emperor and Han Lingfu and their sons had their faces sinking like water. There was a trace of resentment in them, but they were helpless.
Not to mention the trivial ceremonies that follow, so far, Han Lingfan is the crown prince of Dayu!
On September 11th, the morning court reopened, and the civil and military officials congratulated the emperor on the establishment of the crown prince on the Golden Throne Hall.
After the Taiyu attacked in Xiye, it boiled again. The last time was panic, but this time it was joy and jubilation.
In this beaming atmosphere, the emperor fell ill!
In the early morning of the twelfth day of September, the officials who were waiting for the court in the duty room were informed that the emperor was ill and the early court was cancelled, and left the duty room in twos and threes.
Several ministers who were close to each other whispered as they walked.
"Master Li, do you think the emperor was ill this time?" A medium-sized official carefully lowered his voice and said to an old man beside him. During this period of time, the emperor's rapid weight loss has long been seen by some courtiers.
The old man known as "Master Li" snorted and curled the corners of his mouth. He also lowered his voice and said, "The prince is not what the emperor wanted, can the emperor feel happy?!"
"That's right." Another short-bearded middle-aged official said sighingly, "Now that the Zhennan Palace is very powerful, it is not only powerful, but also aggressive. Even the emperor can only do what he wants."
The three ministers looked at each other and gave a wry smile, then Mr. Li, stroking his goatee, said with emotion: "Yesterday, this official went to ask the emperor to see the emperor, and the king of Gongjun was always beside him, filial piety is obvious, the emperor and the king of Gong are also very close. It's a pity for my dear..."
"If this is Prince Gong..."
The three ministers walked away while talking, and the regretful sighs drifted away in the wind...
At first, it was just between the government and the opposition. Gradually, even the people spread that the prince was not appointed by the emperor, but the Zhennan palace. There were even storytellers who vividly compiled a story about the Daxing Dynasty and the Pingnan palace in the background of 500 years ago. The story that is not told, within a few days, spreads a lot...
The emperor has been ill for three days and has been in the palace, and he still doesn't know anything about these rumors outside.
These days, Han Lingfu stayed in the palace day and night, and personally served the emperor, making the emperor feel that it was appropriate.
As a familiar scent of medicinal herbs came, the emperor, leaning against a big pillow, raised his eyes reflexively, and saw Han Lingfu cautiously approaching with the steaming soup.
These days, Xiaosan has also suffered.
Looking at Han Lingfu, who had lost a lot of weight, the emperor was both moved and distressed, and said, "Little San, I'm much better. You should also pay attention to your body and go back to the house to take a good rest."
Han Lingfu sat down on the small tumbler beside the couch, looked at the emperor with a flattered expression, and said, "Thank you for your concern, my son is still young and strong."
As he said that, he took a spoonful from the medicine bowl in his hand. After trying a sip, he brought it to the emperor and said with a smile: "Father, the temperature of the soup is just right, you drink it while it's hot."
The emperor's meals, soups and medicines must be tried and eaten by the servants around him before they can be given to the emperor to confirm that there is no problem. After the emperor fell ill this time, Han Lingfu was always by his side to take care of him. Even the emperor's meals, soups, etc. were also tested by Han Lingfu himself. It was because of this that the emperor felt a lot closer to this son. I often sigh secretly in my heart and feel wronged by the mistress...
The emperor took over the large celadon bowl and felt that the temperature across the bowl was just right, so he looked up at ease and drank the soup in it.
Han Lingfu stared at the emperor's every movement, even every swallow, without blinking. The corners of his mouth drew a strange arc from the angle that the emperor couldn't see...
After the emperor drank the medicine, Han Lingfu eagerly got up and took the medicine bowl. Who knew in the next instant, a small blue porcelain jar slipped out of the cuff...
Oops! Han Lingfu's expression changed slightly, and he wanted to pick it up with a backhand, but he was still holding the large celadon bowl... It was only a momentary stagnation, and the small porcelain jar, which was not the size of a baby's fist, had quickly fallen on the emperor's thin quilt. , did not make a sound.
The small cyan porcelain jar stands out against the bright yellow quilt.
The eyes of the father and son both fell on the small cyan porcelain jar. The emperor's heart skipped a beat, and Han Lingfu's pupils shrank sharply. He put the large celadon bowl aside with his left hand, and grabbed the small porcelain jar with his right hand at the fastest speed...
"What is this?" The emperor shot like lightning, his skinny right hand grabbed Han Lingfu's right wrist, and his sharp eyes narrowed.
At this moment, the emperor, who was recovering from a serious illness, was unexpectedly strong. Like the claws of a vulture, he firmly grasped Han Lingfu's wrist as if it had caught its prey.
An emperor is an emperor after all, no matter how much he favors his son, he will always have a trace of suspicion and a trace of caution in a certain corner of his heart.
Heaven has no father and son, this is the eternal truth.
"It's nothing..." Han Lingfu's heart was beating wildly like a deer, secretly thinking that something was wrong, his mind was spinning, and he was trying to fool him, "Recently, my minister developed aphthous ulcers, so I asked the Imperial Hospital to prescribe some ointments."
But once the emperor became suspicious, how could he be able to cover up the past with a sentence or two!
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and the loving smile from before had long since disappeared from the corners of his mouth. "Is it easy to use ointment? I have been drinking a lot of medicine these days, and I just got angry."
At this moment, he is no longer a father, but a king, a lonely king.
Han Lingfu's heart was terrified, his heart was beating like thunder, he was careless. Just now when he was dispensing the medicine, a small servant came in, and he just hid the small porcelain jar in his sleeve, but he didn't expect it to be hidden!
This small porcelain jar must not be shown to the emperor. As long as the emperor looks at it, he will recognize that the ointment in it is Wuhe ointment, then he is finished! The royal father will know that he has been addicted to taking Wuhe ointment for many years, and the emperor will know that he has taken Wuhe ointment in the soup during this period of time...
Even if Wuhe Gao was not fatal at all, he would be charged with intent to kill his father because of it!
How could the royal father tolerate someone intending to use drugs to control him? !
Once the father emperor sees the contents of this small porcelain jar, he will die without a place to be buried!
"Father," Han Lingfu said with a stiff smile, "the medicine in here has been used up, if you don't believe me, my son will open it for you..."
Han Lingfu looked at the emperor with a "sincere" expression, but he didn't know that in the eyes of the emperor, he was already full of flaws.
The emperor's eyes were burning with surging anger. He still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that he thought too much, but seeing Han Lingfu's abnormal appearance, the emperor was completely convinced.
His good son actually poisoned his soup!
His good son actually wanted to poison him!
Just because he passed the crown of the prince to Xiao Wu, so Xiao San holds a grudge? !
This is really his good son!
The emperor's turbid eyes stared straight at Han Lingfu, his body trembling slightly.
Thank you for trusting him so much!
As a result, one, two, three of them... are all so rebellious!
Familiar faces flashed in the emperor's mind in an instant. King Yan, Marquis of Yongding, Han Lingguan, Xiao Yi, Guan Yubai... and Han Lingfu, all of them want him to die!
The emperor's mood fluctuated violently, his eyes were red, and his face was hideous.
They wanted him to die, but he never died!
He wants to live and watch how they die!
