Chapter 262 As Long as His Majesty Is Happy
Compared to the supreme wealth and luxury in the palace, Langya actually prefers a free and unfettered lifestyle. He can travel around the world, see various customs, and appreciate different mountains, rivers, and lakes.
Of course, the premise is that there is enough money for him to have enough food and clothing.
Therefore, it is particularly valuable to have a skill that can be used in one's own life.
Langya reported to the Imperial Hospital and then temporarily stayed in the Imperial City.
Although Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness do not care about children, how can a king of a country do without heirs? Langya was well aware of the importance of the inheritance of heirs, and was particularly concerned about it. In addition to taking pulses regularly, he spent his free time researching prescriptions, and consulted the old doctors in the Taiyuan Hospital who were proficient in women's diseases, hoping to find a cure in the shortest possible time. Coming up with a radical cure plan - as the days passed and Her Majesty's stomach remained silent, Langya had basically determined that Yan Qing's body did indeed have the root cause of the disease.
He wants to find out the disease as soon as possible and prescribe the right medicine.
However, no one expected that Langya would live in the Imperial City for more than half a year. He shuttled between the imperial hospital and major pharmacies outside the palace every day, and even sometimes left the Imperial City for a period of time. No one knew where he went. After being away for ten days and a half, he returned to the imperial city and continued to read medical books and study prescriptions.
During this period, Yan Qing acted like a normal person and handled the government affairs in an orderly manner. Four of the eight attendants in the Qinzheng Palace were eliminated, and only four remained in the end.
After Enke selected a new group of students to join the court, the atmosphere in the court took on a completely new look.
In May of the following year, Hou Baiqing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was impeached for buying and selling an official position. The Queen ordered four ministers to investigate the matter thoroughly. The Minister of Civil Affairs had been an official for many years, and his disciples were spread all over the country. whole body.
However, the four young servants were not afraid of many difficulties and ignored the threats and inducements from their own selfish sides. They spent a month thoroughly investigating all the criminal evidence of the Minister of Civil Affairs and implicated more than a hundred party officials, large and small. This was the first major case the Queen handled after she ascended the throne, causing a sensation in both the government and the public.
The four attendants encountered assassinations and faced threats while handling the case, but with the support of the imperial concubine behind him, he finally completed a shocking case without any danger.
The investigation of the case coincided with the beginning of autumn, and in time for the post-Autumn Wen Zhan, there was no need to delay his admission to prison.
The autumn of this year had a strong smell of blood, and the court completed a blood exchange with the trembling efforts of the officials.
The few scattered pamphlets in front of the imperial court advising the queen to enrich the harem were thrown into the corner. Because of this major case, no one dared to mention the issue of enriching the harem for the whole autumn and winter.
With the new year and the beginning of spring, everything recovers.
Spring is the season of flowers blooming again, and the ministers who have changed from winter coats to spring clothes are beginning to be impatient again, especially since Her Majesty the Queen has been married for more than a year, and her stomach has not moved yet. The ministers can't help but doubt the royal concubine. Isn't it possible?
The draft to fill the harem became an urgent matter - for the sake of the royal family's heirs.
Maybe human nature is like this, and we always habitually blame problems on the person with a lower status.
Although the status of the emperor's husband is not low, and it is almost the same as the "two saints coming to court" system with the queen, there is definitely no problem for the king of a country. If he has no heirs, it is the problem of the emperor's husband.
Just like if concubines in the past were unable to conceive, the person who had the problem must be the concubine, not the emperor.
Therefore, the ministers began to make excuses from time to time, admonishing His Majesty to recruit more harems on the grounds that the country needed heirs.
Of course, in the end, the emperor's wife threw these notes into the brazier one by one and turned them into ashes.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Langya would like to see you."
"Let him come in." Yan Qing sat in front of the imperial court, reviewing the memorials one by one, "I want to build a royal academy in the imperial city to train pillars of the imperial court. Wen Jin, what do you think of this idea?"
"Your Majesty's idea is naturally excellent." Wen Jin threw the book into the brazier while answering Yan Qing's words, "Build a royal academy so that students from all over the world can pass the exam based on their true ability, no matter they are the sons of the emperor's relatives or nobles. , it is still a home for ordinary people, and it will always be fair and just. Anyone with real talent and knowledge can study in the Royal Academy. "
Yan Qing nodded: "This matter will be discussed at court tomorrow morning. We will listen to the opinions of the adults in the court."
Wen Jin hummed and didn't say anything else. He concentrated on throwing all the discounts he didn't like into the brazier.
"It's spring now, and the beautiful girls outside have all put on spring clothes. Why are there still braziers burning in your majesty's palace?" Langya walked in and looked at Wen Jin in surprise, "It's because your majesty has a weak constitution." Is it cold, or is Your Majesty the Emperor in health?"
Wen Jin stood up and ignored his doubts, "Is something wrong?"
"I recently researched a prescription that should be able to cure your Majesty's health." Langya said, "You just need to take the medicine for at least half a year..."
"The decoction?" Wen Jin frowned, "Is it bitter?"
"How can any decoction not be bitter? A good medicine is bitter and beneficial to the disease——"
"No need." Wen Jin interrupted him, "Go out."
Langya was surprised: "You mean you don't need to treat him? But His Majesty has no heirs, what will happen to Jiangshan Sheji? We can't let Dayong have no successors."
"You are not a courtier, so you don't have to worry about things that courtiers should worry about."
Langya frowned and turned to look at Yan Qing: "Your Majesty?"
"Let's go out." Yan Qing said calmly, "There's nothing to do recently. You can go shopping around. You don't have to focus on me."
Langya didn't know what to say for a moment. He was so worried about the health of His Majesty, but His Majesty and His Royal Highness didn't care about the issue of offspring.
Aren't they worried that there would be no successor to the throne, which would cause turmoil in the court?
"I'm still young, why am I so anxious to have a child?" Yan Qing was very open-minded, "It's okay for the ministers to worry, but you, an outsider, don't have to take it too seriously."
Langya was completely speechless.
Okay, he spent most of the past six months in the pharmacy, reading prescriptions, flipping through medical books, and looking for medicinal materials, but it was all in vain?
If the person in front of him was not the most noble Queen in the world, he would definitely point at her nose and scold her righteously.
Unfortunately, the other party happened to be Her Majesty, what else could he do?
Langya sighed: "As long as Your Majesty is happy, I'll take my leave first."
Yan Qing hummed: "Don't work too hard."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Langya turned and walked out.
Yan Qing finished reviewing the memorial in her hand, put down the red pen, turned to look at her husband: "Wen Jin."
Wen Jin sat down beside her: "Your Majesty."
"Have you ever regretted meeting me in this life, from the age of ten to twenty-two?"
"No." Wen Jin shook his head, his eyes locked on her eyebrows, as if with a thousand years of unchanging paranoia and tenderness, "Does your majesty regret it?"
"No regrets." Yan Qing raised her hand and rubbed his head, "I will never regret it in the future."
