Chapter 484: Alone and Helpless

Although it has been decided when the court meeting of the Daliang Dynasty will be held, in fact, after His Majesty the Emperor took the throne, it has become almost arbitrary when the court meeting will be held. However, His Majesty the Emperor has removed his identity as the Emperor of Daliang Dynasty. In addition, he also has the status of a strong martial artist, so it makes sense that he would practice in seclusion from time to time. However, even so, His Majesty the Emperor has not neglected government affairs. Since the first year of Tianjian, he has already formed a group headed by Zaifu. , supplemented by the model used by several important court officials to deal with court affairs, in order to deal with the problem that His Majesty the Emperor was unable to handle government affairs when he was in retreat.

Therefore, when the court meeting will be held, the ministers in the court will get the news from the Prime Minister almost a day in advance. However, after His Majesty the Emperor went to the north alone last year, the number of court meetings held this year has been really pitiful. Although the news from the palace all said that His Majesty the Emperor was practicing in seclusion, how could the ministers of the DPRK believe it so easily? Therefore, as early as the spring, there were intermittent letters from the ministers of the DPRK to the Emperor. They just handed over many excerpts. After they went up, they were suppressed by the Prime Minister and could not be sent to His Majesty the Emperor's desk. However, this matter continued for a long time, and finally a memorial was brewed with dozens of ministers' signatures. This time, the Prime Minister Your Excellency can no longer suppress it, so the papers are now piled in front of His Majesty the Emperor's case, like a small mountain.

Afterwards, some ministers even stood guard at the entrance of the Imperial City Palace, wanting to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit.

But after waiting and waiting, the last thing I waited for was that there would be nothing to do tomorrow and the court meeting would not be held.

This angered many ministers who were still waiting and watching, so that more ministers gathered outside the palace gate these days, with the intention of forcing the palace.

This scene is actually not uncommon. When it was first reported that His Majesty the Emperor was going to the North, there were so many courtiers here. Some even hit their heads against pillars and blood spattered on the spot.

Although the two cannot be compared, everyone knows that if this matter is not handled properly, there will be another turmoil of great magnitude.

Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalry disrupts discipline with martial arts.

This sentence has been an enduring thing in secular dynasties for thousands of years. Before His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne, His Majesty the Emperor of the secular dynasty was just a bigger ant in the eyes of monks outside the country. There were often monks Things like entering and exiting the palace at will happened, but as Emperor Liang ascended the throne, the second half of the sentence has probably disappeared over the years, but the first half of the sentence has always been unable to do anything.

The border troubles in the north can be guarded by those warriors, but the word "governing the country" depends on these scholars. However, these scholars have the so-called character. Although they are weak, some people are really not afraid of life and death. They have to recognize The dead reason in the heart, so it really can't be suppressed by killing a few people.

Lord Zaifu did not follow the courtiers to see the emperor outside the palace gate, but now he changed his clothes and went with Tai Shiling to the shade of a tree in the distance. After sitting down, Lord Zaifu tightened his grip. After taking off his tight-fitting clothes, he smiled and said, "These guys have been here for so many years and still can't understand this truth. How can His Majesty really care about their opinions."

Tai Shiling looked heavy and said with some confusion, "As the prime minister and the head of civil servants, which side will you choose to stand on when encountering such a thing?"

"I won't take any side. My old bones can't stand the torment."

Master Zaifu looked at Taishi Ling with a smile, "It's you, you have thoughts in your heart, but you can't say it out. Taishi Ling is not easy to do."

As a historian of the dynasty, although Tai Shiling did several radical things, most of the time, he actually had to exercise restraint and not get too involved in these things. Otherwise, it would be difficult to be impartial with his historical pen. .

"It's not easy for Your Majesty. You have to govern the country, and you also have to use your own power to intimidate the outside world. Naturally, you can't let go of your spiritual practice. From what I see, there are not many meetings this time. In fact, it is understandable. Why do you have to cause trouble?" Master Fu looked at Tai Shiling and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

Taishi Ling frowned and said indifferently, "I don't care so much. Whatever happened has to be recorded in the annals of history. The same goes for whatever your Majesty does. If your Majesty doesn't care what future generations say, you can do whatever you want."

Master Zaifu understands the matter of Taishi Ling. Although this kind of matter may not be solved properly, if His Majesty the Emperor works hard to save face, these ministers will probably feel a lot better. But in fact, in the past ten years, the Emperor has His Majesty has never had this idea, and he has never cared about how civil servants wrote about him.

Master Zaifu smiled and said, "No matter how big the deal is, our Majesty won't care about it anymore."

Tai Shiling recalled what happened a few days ago and said, "Not necessarily."

Master Zaifu frowned. He was a smart man, but just from these three words, he seemed to figure something out. He asked tentatively, "Has your Majesty gone to the Shige to read the historical records?"

Tai Shiling nodded slowly.

"Your Majesty wants to change the annals of history?"

Master Zaifu's expression gradually became serious.

Tai Shi Ling slowly shook his head, "Your Majesty did not speak, but even if you have this idea, I will not let your Majesty change it.

"

Master Zaifu smiled and said, "You have such a bad temper."

Taishi Ling did not respond.

Master Zaifu thought to himself again and said softly, "It seems that your Majesty is really getting old."

…

…

After Li Heng returned to the imperial city, it was his turn to accompany the Emperor of Daliang. Today, a young eunuch brought a brazier from outside the imperial study. Li Heng naturally picked up the memorials on the table and lit them, throwing them into the brazier one by one.

No one had read these memorials, but the Emperor already knew what they contained. It was annoying to read them, so he didn't care to read them again.

His Majesty sat behind the desk, looked at it for a few times, then slowly stood up and looked at Li Heng. Li Heng smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to go see those ministers?"

The Daliang Emperor said calmly, "What's so good about it? This group of scholars is not the first time, and this is not the last time. Let them make trouble. They have their reasons, and I have my reasons. Anyway, no one can convince anyone, so why waste your breath."

Li Heng smiled and joked, "If Your Majesty is really in seclusion, then it really makes sense, but Your Majesty is like this now, and you also say that you have your reasons. I dare not agree with it."

Hearing this, the Daliang Emperor looked at Li Heng in front of him a few more times, and suddenly smiled and said, "Why did you go out for a while? It seems that you have more popularity. It seems that you still need to go out and see more, otherwise it will be very boring."

Just as Li Heng was about to speak, a voice came from the door, saying that the imperial doctor had arrived.

He shut up and continued to burn those memorials.

The Daliang Emperor said the word "Xuan" expressionlessly.

After the head of the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital knelt down, His Majesty came straight to the point, "How is the princess?"

The imperial physician kneeling in front of the Emperor of Daliang was silent for a moment, and then slowly said bitterly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The princess refused to let me feel her pulse and treat her half a month ago."

"This girl."

The Emperor of Daliang said softly, "I don't expect you to cure the princess. You just need to tell me how long the princess can live."

The imperial physician lowered his head and dared not speak for a while.

The Emperor of Daliang remained silent and just looked at him.

After a long time, the imperial physician whispered, "I asked the princess's personal maid, and the princess has not eaten well for a long time. The prescription prescribed by the Imperial Hospital has been stopped a long time ago. I... guess, the princess..."

Speaking of this, the imperial physician really didn't dare to continue.

The Daliang Emperor was too lazy to wait any longer, so Li Heng whispered a few words, and the imperial physician gritted his teeth and bowed his head, saying, "Your Highness, it will probably be these few days."

The Daliang Emperor did not move for a while, and only came back to his senses after a long time and waved his hand.

When the imperial physician left, the Daliang Emperor whispered, "Li Heng, walk with me."

Li Heng, who had just burned the last memorial, stood up.

Then the master and servant left the imperial study.

……

……

"When I was still a vassal king, the queen was pregnant with that girl, and the imperial physician said that the queen was weak and might not be able to give birth. I immediately asked the queen to induce labor, but the queen was unwilling to do so. After that, she gave birth to that girl with difficulty. It was probably because of this that she was weak since childhood. The queen blamed herself for this for many years, and every time she mentioned it, she burst into tears. Now I think that it was from that time that the queen's health was not so good."

The Daliang Emperor suddenly spoke, his voice bitter.

Li Heng said softly, "No mother in the world would choose not to have her own child, and this is especially true for a woman like the Queen. No matter how much your Majesty persuades, it's useless."

"Yes, I know that. Fortunately, although this girl is a little weak, she can live for decades if she takes good care of herself. I am rich and I want her to live a good life. But I hesitated about that matter at the beginning."

The Daliang Emperor had a complicated look in his eyes. If it weren't for that matter at the beginning, it might not be like this.

Li Heng said nothing.

The Daliang Emperor laughed at himself and said, "I have been busy with political affairs in recent years and have paid less attention to her, but in fact, I have always felt guilty and dared not see her. It's funny to say that I have never been afraid of anything, but I am very afraid of this mother and daughter."

Fear comes and goes, but it's just fear of death.

Fear of his wife's death, fear of his daughter's death.

But it seems that no matter how much he fears, it doesn't work.

Li Heng said, "Your Majesty, please go and see Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Speaking of which, she was also the girl he had watched grow up. When he was in the palace, Li Heng had dealt with Her Royal Highness the Princess a lot.

"This girl doesn't want to see me now. It won't help if I go. But as father and daughter, I should go and see her."

Emperor Daliang said, "Li Heng, let that boy enter the palace."

Li Heng nodded gently.

Emperor Daliang suddenly stopped and said, "Li Heng, I am really going to be alone."
