Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!
Chapter 403 Wei is about to die!
The emperor's illness is a big deal, especially for the wealthy and idle people who claim to live at the emperor's feet. How can they say, "I don't know" when asked by outsiders!
So, at dawn the next day, everyone from the officials to the common people were thinking about the emperor contracting the cold.
Someone lamented, "It's so cold this winter that even the emperor fell ill from the cold."
Others echoed, "Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking of taking my whole family to a hot spring village. It's so enjoyable to soak in the hot springs and drink wine at this time of year."
More people are worried, "The emperor is already very old, so tossing him like this is not good for the dragon's body. I don't know how good the doctor is, and when will the emperor get better? The Chinese New Year will be in less than two months." !”
Unlike the common people joining in the fun, the important ministers who entered the palace last night had already got the news they wanted to know.
Although the process was a little too smooth and arousing suspicion, the result was so shocking that no one had time to think about it.
The old minister who was loyal to the country and devoted himself to the Wei Dynasty had already covered his face and cried bitterly.
With such a monarch in the Wei Dynasty, how can we talk about a prosperous country and a strong people, and talk about prosperity and stability? The whole country is like a cart, and the monarch is the horse that pulls the cart. It only cares about eating the weeds and flowers on the roadside. How can you expect it to move forward with a heavy load and rush towards a bright future?
"Is the Wei Dynasty coming to an end?" The old minister cried bitterly, wishing he could faint. Thinking about the three most promising princes to succeed to the throne, it becomes even more dazzling!
Of course, there are also those who are trying their best to preserve the family's glory and wealth. Their first thought is not to worry about the country, but to think about the emperor's narrow escape this time, but I am afraid that he will not live long. Which prince should they embrace?
There is no airtight wall in the world. Secrets are like cockroaches in the kitchen. You think you are the only one who has discovered them, but in fact others have killed a hundred of them before.
Before it got dark, several important ministers, officials of the same clan, or in-laws and friends knew the real inside story of the emperor's illness.
Anger, shame, worry, secret calculations, various emotions and actions slowly filled the entire Kyoto.
But the standard action of all like-minded people was to shut up and never ask how the emperor got the "cold".
After all, this is tantamount to exposing the emperor's scars, or throwing a big slap directly on the emperor's face!
In line with the principle of preserving their lives, everyone remained silent, and the entire court was silent. But no one asked or cared about such a big thing as the emperor's illness. No matter how weird it is, it can't be hidden.
So, after the third prince served his father for a day and a night, he returned to his mansion and laughed proudly.
He had no idea that he had fallen into the scheme of his eldest and second brothers. He thought that Perfect was hiding behind his father, so he acted like a fox and successfully escaped a catastrophe!
As for Zhao Jincheng's uncle, Zhao Chengping, his suspicion was finally confirmed. The unlucky son was really looking for death, and he was very successful!
Throughout the afternoon, he almost made a hole in the floor of his home.
You have no intention of saving your son. There is only one child in the family. The grandson is only eight years old. He takes more medicine than food and looks very sick. No one can guarantee whether he will grow up. There is no telling whether we should expect this son to grow up again. More “seeding”!
Moreover, even if the third prince killed his unlucky son in order to keep quiet, he would definitely not let their family go. Although their family name is also Zhao, they often use the border guards as armor to show off their power to the outside world. But those who know the inside story understand that they have no way to interfere with the border guards at all. Even the current general, his nephew, has little respect for his uncle and wishes to cut off all contact with him.
But if he wanted to save himself and get his son out, he would definitely not be able to impress the third prince if he didn't offer huge benefits and spend a lot of money. He is really reluctant to part with this benefit and capital...
Finally, at dusk, when the old wife was worried about her son not coming home for two days, she came to the study, and he finally made up his mind...
In the third prince's house, the kitchen cooked some of the master's favorite dishes and boiled some wine. As soon as the third prince sat down to have a comfortable meal and wanted to calm down his panic, Mr. Liu came over.
The third prince had great trust in Mr. Liu, and felt that they had shared difficulties together the day before yesterday, so he invited him to eat and drink with him.
Mr. Liu looked embarrassed, but in the end he still had the courage to say, "Your Highness, almost everyone in the court now knows the truth about Emperor Feng Han. I am afraid that the eldest prince and the second prince are involved..."
The third prince responded nonchalantly, "I already know it, so what if they spread it, who would dare to expose it? Why don't we all pretend not to know!"
Mr. Liu was choked so much that he suppressed his anxiety and responded, "Your Highness, they dare not expose you and embarrass the emperor! But they dare to exclude you from the throne as the successor! They dare to support the eldest prince and the second prince. !”
The third prince was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that he was worried, "Why are these people so unreasonable? I also accompanied my father to the Flower House. My father has fallen in love with the oiran, can I stop him?"
"Your Highness, there is no reason to speak of word of mouth. The courtiers dare not blame the emperor, so of course they will blame you!" Mr. Liu took the opportunity to suggest, "In the future, you must act cautiously. If you are If the cold disaster is serious, I will take people to set up porridge shacks and give cotton-padded clothes and quilts to the poor. Then you can go out and win over the people!"
The third prince was a little reluctant to part with the money and reluctantly responded, "Let's talk about it then. Sir, I also know that I don't have much money. Besides, there is no use in wooing the poor people. It is better to woo the officials in the court."
Mr. Liu was speechless. Just when he was thinking about how to persuade him again, a guard suddenly reported, "Your Highness, Zhao Jincheng's father, Cheng Enbo Zhao Chengping, wants to see you!"
Zhao Jincheng?
The third prince didn't react for a moment, but Mr. Liu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Give me a pillow when you doze off! His Highness didn't say he was short of money, so here is the money giver!"
The third prince finally remembered. He held his chin and asked Mr. Liu, "Although Uncle Cheng'en is a coward, he is from the Zhao family. I wonder if he can help the border guards. If the border guards are loyal to me, The throne must be mine!"
Mr. Liu has no such extravagant hopes. How could the border guards be so easy to win over? Otherwise, why would the current emperor be so angry and allow the six ministries to embarrass the border guards in every possible way?
Soon, Zhao Chengan followed the guard and walked in with his head lowered. Almost as soon as he reached the threshold, he knelt down and loudly apologized.
"Your Highness, that rebellious son of mine made a big mistake. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
The third prince snorted coldly, curled his lips and said sarcastically, "Hey, Uncle Cheng En is very well-informed! Does this mean he knows what that idiot of yours has done?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Zhao Chengping kept kowtowing and said, "Your Highness, spare your life. It is really difficult for that rebellious son of mine to atone for his sins by death, but I only have such a son, so I beg Your Highness to give him a chance to live!" (End of chapter)
