The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Shao Zhikan said nothing but looked at the emperor silently.

Seeing that Shao Zhikan didn't believe it, the emperor continued to explain: "My uncle didn't know that he was poisoned before. He thought that the curse had finally reached him. So he thought that there should be an antidote in the treasures of the previous dynasty.

Now I know he was poisoned. Then this elixir is not necessary. Of course it would be better if you find it. My uncle would not really waste manpower and material resources on a large-scale search. "

Shao Zhikan still didn't speak, but nodded this time. He looked like he was having a bad temper.

The emperor laughed and asked Eunuch Fu to change his clothes as if he was in a happy mood. Shao Zhikan withdrew from the palace.

Shao Zhikan left the Ziying Palace, looked up at the gray-white sky and slowly exhaled. His plan officially started from this moment. Just see if you can make it to the end successfully.

The emperor endured the discomfort and went to the morning court. All the ministers couldn't help but started talking after looking at Shao Zhikan sitting on the steps and under the dragon chair. I don’t know why Shao Zhikan appears here.

After the emperor and the courtiers finished discussing today's important matters, the emperor turned to look at Eunuch Fu.

Eunuch Fu nodded understandingly. Then he shouted loudly: "Prince Xuankang enters the palace."

The voice just fell. A young eunuch led Prince Kang into the hall, wearing Taoist robes and holding a dust bag. When Prince Kang came to the palace, he did not kneel down to say hello, but clasped his hands in a Taoist salute.

The emperor just raised his hand to signal him to excuse himself. A little eunuch came to Eunuch Fu holding a tray. There are two imperial edicts on it. Eunuch Fu picked up one of the letters and read it out. After the imperial edict was read, the ministers began to discuss it.

This imperial edict conferred the title of Shao Zhikan as the Prince's Young Master. This puzzled all the ministers. This position has been vacant since the death of the prince, and the former prince's young master was demoted from the capital by the emperor for making mistakes. Not only this position, but also many positions related to the East Palace are currently vacant. What is the emperor's intention to suddenly seal Shao Zhikan today? This made everyone suspicious.

Jamel Xiao, who was standing in the first row under the steps, couldn't help but clenched his fists. Could it be that the father is planning to establish a prince?

After Eunuch Fu handed the first imperial edict to Shao Zhikan with a smile, he picked up the second imperial edict. When it opened with a snap, the hall immediately fell silent. After hearing the second imperial edict, everyone became uneasy. Including Xiao Jingchang, who was a little excited just now.

After all, he was suddenly granted the title of Young Master of the Crown Prince, and Xiao Jinrong was not in the capital. If he really made the Crown Prince, wouldn't it be him? But after reading the imperial edict, not only did he not establish a prince. He is not even qualified to supervise the country.

For the first time in a rare time, Jamel Xiao could not hold back his anger and stood up. He said with a somewhat ugly face: "Father, how can such a big matter of supervising the country be left to an outsider? Not to mention that Uncle Wang, the king of Kang County, asked himself to be demoted to the county king. He is not even a prince. Besides, Shao Zhikan has never entered the army. He has served as an official in court. He should not be allowed to supervise the country even if he is physically disabled."

Although Taifu Sun on the side did not agree with the emperor's decree, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly after hearing Xiao Jingchang's question.

The emperor on the dragon throne also looked at Xiao Jingchang with an indifferent expression and did not answer any of his questions. Xiao Jamrong felt a little embarrassed for a moment, so he secretly hooked his hand and motioned for people from his group to stand up and protest with him.

But before his men could stand up, Taifu Sun took the lead and bowed and said: "Your Majesty suddenly asked King Kang and the Crown Prince to supervise the country, but are you going to go to the villa for vacation?" The emperor listened to the Taishi's words. He said with a smile: "I'm not going on vacation. I've been feeling unwell since last night. The last time I got sick, the imperial doctor advised me not to worry too much and to get more rest. This time the imperial doctor still said the same thing. . I just think that it has been quite peaceful recently. There is nothing major to deal with. Why not take the opportunity to have a good rest. So I plan to temporarily let the two of them supervise the country. I am still in the palace. If there is really a discussion with the two of them. If anything goes wrong, dear friends, just come to me again."

When Taifu Sun heard that the emperor just wanted to rest for a while and was still sitting in the palace, he felt relieved and didn't ask any more questions. After saluting the emperor, he returned to the ranks of officials. When he returned, he glanced at Jamel Xiao. He shook his head and stood up straight.

The officials behind the Taifu secretly said to the Taifu uneasily: "Teacher, does your Majesty really just want to take a rest? If it is just for a day or two, just let the teacher come to assist the country. Why do you need to set up a special prison? country. I’m afraid this matter is not that simple.”

Taifu Sun shook his head gently. He signaled the man not to say any more.

The emperor ignored Xiao Jinrong and left him hanging in the middle of the hall. Looking at the officials below, he said: "If there is nothing else, just retreat from the court."

Immediately, another official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think the prince is right. Even if it is necessary to supervise the country, it is not the turn of the prince and the prince. Isn't there still the prince here?"

The emperor looked at the minister who stood up, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. But he still raised a corner of his lips, nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, how many of you still support King Huai Si? Do you think I made the wrong choice as the supervisor?"

The officials looked at each other. No one in the neutral group headed by Taifu Sun had any objections. After all, the man just asked Sun Taifu what he meant.

Most of the people standing beside Xiao Jinrong were military generals. The generals more or less have some relationship or friendship with the Protector. I feel that if the protector's crown prince oversees the country, if an emergency occurs at the border during this period, it will be of great benefit to the generals and soldiers like them. So no one came forward.

There were a few old and sophisticated people who did not come forward, but many people who supported Jamel Xiao's party came forward.

The emperor looked at the people following Xiao Jingchang in the center of the hall and couldn't help but nodded. There is no San Gong. He knew that these old men were very smart. They will not challenge themselves on such a matter that does not harm the country's foundation. But I never expected that so many people in the Sixth Division would already side with Jamel Xiao. I really didn't expect it.

It seems that I really need to take the exam in the spring next year. Let the six departments get some fresh blood.

The emperor smiled and said: "You all think that I should let King Huaisi supervise the country. It's not that I don't want to, but I have important things that need King Huaisi to do. I think he is the most suitable person for this matter."

At this time, Yan Xiuqi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what else is bigger than supervising the country? Everything else is secondary. Supervising the country is related to the country. Your Majesty, please think twice."

The emperor continued to nod with a smile on his face: "What Lord Yan said is quite reasonable. What do you think? Grand Master?" As he spoke, he looked at the Grand Master who had never even discussed it before.
