Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

After hearing the words of the imperial doctor, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically. Something seemed to hit their minds, and they found it difficult to accept this fact.

Although everyone was prepared for Emperor Jingfeng's condition, they never expected that it would become so serious.

After all, Emperor Jingfeng was less than 40 years old, at a very strong age. Apart from taking pills, he had almost no bad habits.In the eyes of everyone, no matter how bad the situation was, Emperor Jingfeng would only linger on the bed for a few years, but they didn't expect that his time would be numbered in a blink of an eye.

Everyone had different expressions, and they didn't know what they were thinking. At this time, Emperor Jingfeng slowly woke up from the bed and coughed a few times. The palace attendants saw him and helped him sit up.

Everyone became nervous when they saw this, fearing that Emperor Jingfeng would be like the last time, not conscious when he woke up, and throwing a random tantrum.However, Emperor Jingfeng looked calm. He neither yelled nor scolded anyone. He just looked around the room and even laughed:
"All of them are either princes of the clan or important ministers of the court. In the past, who was not a majestic figure? I just spit out blood, why did I scare you like this?"

Several officials felt inexplicably sad and quickly lowered their heads to cover up the warmth in their eyes.

When no one answered, Emperor Jingfeng said weakly: "Where is the imperial doctor?"

The imperial doctor trembled and knelt in front of his bed: "...Wei...Wei Chen is here."

Emperor Jingfeng's tone was calm, but the words he spoke were like thunder, exploding in everyone's hearts: "Emperor Physician, now that things have come to this, I want to hear the truth from you - how much time do I have?"

The imperial doctor was shocked. He never expected that Emperor Jingfeng, who was usually most taboo about life and death, would ask about the matter so directly.

He was afraid that Emperor Jingfeng's mood was unstable and that telling the truth would irritate him, so he twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile. Unfortunately, the smile was uglier than crying: "...Your Majesty is serious, you are only in your 30s. The body is strong. This time it is just a minor illness. It will take a few days to recover. It is not that serious..."

Emperor Jingfeng smiled softly, as if he felt that he was telling lies, and there was a hint of sadness in his words: "I know my own body well, you can't deceive me... I ask you again, how much time do I have? It doesn’t matter if you say so.”

The imperial doctor swallowed his saliva, not daring to look at Emperor Jingfeng, and lowered his voice subconsciously: "In an optimistic scenario... there will probably be more than a month left..."

Everyone's mood suddenly sank - it had only been more than a month, and it was still under optimistic circumstances.

"There's only a little more than a month left, so time is really running out..."

Emperor Jingfeng murmured in his mouth and laughed at himself: "...it's ridiculous that I kept using elixirs before and tried every means to extend my life. I didn't want to beg again and again, but I ended up with a short life..."

In the past, Emperor Jingfeng was majestic and suspicious, but he had never shown such a decadent and weak look. Everyone had sobs in their throats and were speechless for a moment: "Your Majesty..."

Compared to the grief of everyone, Emperor Jingfeng seemed particularly calm. He did not escape or deceive himself, and he accepted the result quite naturally.

He looked steadily at the sad or heavy ministers in the room, and suddenly shouted: "Cheng Yan."

Cheng Yan stepped forward in response: "Your Majesty, I am here."

Emperor Jingfeng looked at him with stern eyes: "...I order you to be a bachelor of Huagaidian, take the position of chief assistant of the cabinet, and take charge of the government affairs of the DPRK and Central Government."

Cheng Yan paused and said, "I obey your order."

Emperor Jingfeng continued: "Gu Yunji."

"...The humble minister is here." "I will promote you to be the new Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and join the cabinet as a bachelor of Wenhua Palace. From now on, you will assist Cheng Yan in commanding all officials. You can discuss and decide on your own regarding common affairs in the court. There is no need to worry. Report it back to me."

"...The minister obeys the order."

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Jingfeng adjusted the positions of several officials, promoting almost all the young officials who had outstanding performance in recent years, and placed some older and senior officials in secondary positions for the cabinet. The next big shuffle.

Finally, Emperor Jingfeng said: "...Also, send a message to Northern Xinjiang and ask Su Qi, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, to bring [-] elite cavalry battalions back to Beijing immediately. There must be no mistake."

After the Japanese pirates in the southeast were wiped out, Su Qi returned to northern Xinjiang and naturally became the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town.

As a guard general of an important border town, he is not allowed to return to Beijing under normal circumstances, let alone bring three thousand elite cavalry back to Beijing. Considering the transfer of officials just now, Emperor Jingfeng is obviously preparing for what will happen after his death. Arrangements to increase insurance.

Emperor Jingfeng's move was actually the same as arranging funeral arrangements. The ministers suppressed the soreness in their eyes and kowtowed in unison: "...I, my ministers, will obey your Majesty's decree."

-

Ever since it was known that Emperor Jingfeng's time was running out, the atmosphere in the capital quickly became tense. People in both the government and the public were uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

Fortunately, Emperor Jingfeng had made complete arrangements. After Gu Yunji, Cheng Yan and others entered the cabinet, they quickly began to take over government affairs. The other promoted officials also performed their duties in their posts, and everything was going on in an orderly manner. In progress.

In the evening, Emperor Jingfeng, who had been sleeping for most of the day, woke up in his palace. He felt his mouth was dry, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Someone... bring some water... Where is Ning Fuhai, I'm thirsty..."

However, after calling several times, no one answered.Emperor Jingfeng was in a daze for a while, and then he remembered that Ning Fuhai had been transferred out of the palace to work elsewhere because he defied the order in public and refused to take the elixir.

Cheng Yan and others were also very busy during this period, and they came to the palace to wait on patients less and less. It was now the time for the palace attendants to change, and everyone on duty was staying outside, and most likely they did not hear Emperor Jingfeng's call.

Emperor Jingfeng lay there for a while. He was really thirsty and felt that his physical strength had recovered a little. He simply stood up and got out of bed to get a drink of water.

The bed was only a dozen steps away from the table with tea, but to the frail Emperor Jingfeng, it seemed to be thousands of miles away. He took a few steps and started breathing heavily. His feet seemed to be filled with lead, and they were so heavy. look.

Finally, he was almost there, and when he saw the teapot right in front of him, Emperor Jingfeng felt anxious and took a longer step, but he didn't want to lose his footing, causing his center of gravity to fall backwards.

"Father!"

At this time, there was an exclamation from behind. The expected fall did not happen. An arm appeared in time and stabilized Emperor Jingfeng.

Emperor Jingfeng turned around and found that it was King Wu Li Jinche. He smiled: "It turns out to be Che'er."

Seeing Emperor Jingfeng pouring water himself and almost falling over, Li Jinche was frightened and couldn't help but get angry: "How did these slaves do things? They left your father alone in the palace without anyone to pour water! What a shame." Pull out these lazy guys who have neglected their duties and chop them all!"

"That's all, there's no need to shout and kill over a trivial matter."

Emperor Jingfeng, who was always strict with his servants, waved his hand and showed rare tolerance: "I have been lying in bed for a long time and have no strength. I want to come down and take a walk. Don't blame others."
