medical law

Time flies, and it is the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.

Shangjing ushered in the second snow after winter.

Xianzong raised his head and stood in the middle of the atrium. Pieces of cold things fell on his face, and the pure white snowflakes swirled in the air like white catkins, slowly falling down.He was the only one in the cold wind blowing yard, the surroundings were dark and there was not a single ray of light.

He closed his eyes and was frozen stiff.In the darkness, he could only hear the roar of the wind, like a trapped beast that couldn't find its way out.

The door of the main hall creaked open, Xianzong opened his eyes, turned around and saw Empress Shen leaning out while leaning on the door frame, her face was hidden in the darkness and she couldn't see clearly, but her voice was full of unconcealable worry .

"The emperor... the emperor..."

"I'm here!" Xianzong walked up the corridor quickly, rubbing the palms of his hands vigorously, and blowing a few mouthfuls of hot air. Then he held her arm and asked with a smile: "It's cold outside. Great, how did you come out?"

"The concubine has prepared the meal!" Empress Shen raised a pair of blurred eyes to look at Xianzong, her voice was soft, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and there was a smile on her dark yellow face.

Ever since Xianzong came back that day, after the husband and wife had held each other and cried, Empress Shen never shed tears in front of Xianzong.In the endless waiting, her tears have already dried up, no matter how bad the environment, no matter how hard the days are, they have passed, and now no matter how bad life is, as long as they can stay together with him, their hearts will be sweet .

"Well, let's go in!" Xianzong dragged Empress Shen into the hall, and closed the hall door tightly.

Only a faint oil lamp was lit in the hall.Xianzong's already three-dimensional facial features became more and more profound under the flickering dim light. He slightly pursed his thin lips, sat down on the short bench, picked up a piece of freshly baked cornmeal mixed with chaff, and broke it off. Open a small piece and send it to the bowl in front of Queen Shen.

"It's cold, let's rest early after eating!" After Xianzong finished speaking, he took a small bite of the pancake, and took a sip of the hot shepherd's purse soup.

Empress Shen said yes.But he made up his mind in his heart that his hands and feet should be quicker for a while, so that he can finish the half-finished jacket as soon as possible. He just held his arm with a cold chill.

The wind outside was blowing loudly, and accompanied by the sound of the wind, there were regular clacks one after another.

"Who is it so late?" Queen Shen put down her chopsticks.He raised a pair of blurry eyes and looked outside.

Her eyes can't see very clearly, but her hearing is extremely sensitive.

"Today is Laba, and Xu is someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who brought over the meal. You eat, I'll go and have a look..." Xianzong finished his explanation and stood up.Open the door of the palace and strode outside.

The corridors of the Shōgo Palace were not lit.Xianzong carried a ram's horn palace lantern, walked calmly through the atrium covered with snow flakes of goose feathers, and when he walked out of the screen wall, he saw Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who usually brought daily necessities, standing with a lantern and waiting at the gate of the palace with a smile on his face.

"I have seen the emperor!" Eunuch Zhang gave a salute.

Xianzong behaved kindly and courteously towards everyone, and after just over a month of getting along, the eunuchs, big and small, in the House of Internal Affairs had a very good impression of the emperor.The attitude is very respectful and in place, without any perfunctory.

"Why is Eunuch Zhang here?" Xianzong asked.

"Your Majesty's grace. I gave Laba porridge to the emperor, and the old slave just received the order. He hurriedly delivered it!" After finishing speaking, Eunuch Zhang lifted up a double-folded food box with enamel black lacquer and gold painting, and said with a smile: "The emperor, take it back and eat it while it's hot. It's a cold day, eat something warm to nourish your stomach!"

Xianzong smiled lightly, said hello, and took it.

He was about to go back when he remembered something, turned back and told Eunuch Zhang: "Go back and thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Seeing Xianzong's humble expression, Eunuch Zhang felt a little sad, but he didn't show it on his face, and he answered yes politely.

Xianzong still smiled gently, and took out a small gold-plated dagger from his arms, which was the only valuable thing on his body now.He gave the small dagger to Eunuch Zhang to play with.

Eunuch Zhang couldn't refuse, so he thanked the emperor, put the small dagger in his arms, and bowed to leave.

Xianzong's clear eyes were glowing in the darkness, and through the slowly closing palace gate, he suddenly saw two rows of majestic imperial guards standing outside the palace gate, standing like statues in the snow. .

Yingzong never relaxed his guard against him.

Xianzong sneered, turned around and walked back to the inner hall with the food box in hand.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, several ministers headed by Cao Qing proposed to Yingzong that they should lead a hundred officials to pay homage to Emperor Xianzong at Yan'anmen in January, hoping to get His Majesty's approval.

Yingzong's expression was heavy, and after a moment of pondering, he opened his mouth and said: "The emperor is happy to be quiet, not only the celebration of the first month, but also the festival celebrations in the future, there is no need to disturb the worship!"

The courtiers were stunned for a while, glanced at each other, and then stopped talking.

After the imperial court, Yingzong made a decree, dispatching four eunuchs from the House of Internal Affairs to serve the emperor in Shengwu Palace, and added more than a dozen imperial guards around Shengwu Palace to surround the palace in order to protect the emperor. Safety.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance what Yingzong's intention is.

Those four eunuchs were there to serve on the surface, but in fact they were eyeliners placed around Xianzong. As for strengthening the guards to protect the safety of the emperor, they were actually just preventing the courtiers from communicating with Xianzong inside and outside.

Sure enough, on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Zhi and Zheng Entai wanted to go to the Shengwu Palace to visit the emperor, but they were blocked by the guards. They glanced at the two coldly and said in a strong tone: "No According to His Majesty's will, no one should disturb the Emperor!"

Isn't it forbidden to worship, even ordinary visits?Still have to ask His Majesty's will?

Wang Zhi and Zheng Entai understood.

At this point, the courtiers have all come to terms with it.

The emperor has just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den, His Majesty is treating his own brother as a prisoner.The courtiers secretly sighed in their hearts that a generation of wise and mighty emperors would become disrespectful because of the return of Xianzong, but they can think about it again.Feel normal again.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

This is just an inevitable rule of the game of thrones.

After the courtiers understood Yingzong's taboo against the emperor, they never brought up the matter of meeting the emperor uninterestedly, so as not to be regarded by the increasingly suspicious Yingzong as rebellious officials and thieves intending to restore.

The prince tried his best to calm down and observe for a few days. Uncle Xue Meng was in charge of the imperial guards in the palace. It would not be difficult at all to plant a few eyeliners in the imperial guards guarding Shengwu Palace.

Watching from the sidelines, Emperor Xianzong has been quietly and quietly since he came back, without any movement.At least there has never been a trace of contact with the outside world.However, the prince did not believe that Mu Qianshan's prison escape incident was just a whim of the Mu party. He was doubting and guessing what role Xianzong played in that case, presumably Yingzong did the same. However, Yingzong's precautions and vigilance never relaxed.

But analyze the current situation.Shengwu Palace is heavily guarded, and every move of Xianzong is under the watchful eyes of his father, so it is impossible to make any troubles.But King Hui and Long Tingxuan were opponents that he had to be on guard against, and he couldn't take it lightly.

Thinking of the Jade Seal of Chuanguo that he hadn't got yet, the prince's heart became anxious again for no reason.

Only firmly in their own hands.His position as the crown prince, only His Royal Highness, the crown prince, can go on steadily...

... ...

After the twelfth lunar month early morning.Yingzong led a small group of guards to Shanglinyuan, and returned to the court five days later, and ordered Zhou Boxuan, the right minister, to take charge of the court.

After the decree was issued, the prince's face turned pale.He raised his head and glanced at his father on the throne, the hand hanging by his side was trembling slightly.

When Yingzong went out on tour before, he was the person in charge of the court.It was him, the prince who was the crown prince.But this time, the royal father let him go.He directly handed over the burden of ruling the court to Zhou Boxuan.In his heart, the future prince is not as good as a minister?

Thinking of the cold and sharp eyes his father looked at him a while ago and the estrangement these days, the prince suddenly felt besieged on all sides.

He hates it so much, he's so terrified of the feeling...

The prince really wanted to ask why, but his stern eyes locked on Yingzong's figure tightly, and his thin lips moved a few times, but Shen Zhong behind him tightly grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Shen Zhong naturally knew that Yingzong hadn't summoned the prince alone to ask about state affairs for a long time, but it was Long Tingxuan who walked frequently to the Hall of Mental Cultivation these days.

Who is Long Tingxuan?

He is the son of Yingzong's beloved woman and the right-hand man of King Hui.Your Majesty's promotion of King Xiaoyao is a disguised promotion of the entire King Hui Party.Shen Zhong has been thinking about the reasons for the change of Yingzong's attitude towards the prince these days. During this period of time, he has nagged the prince to be cautious in his words and deeds. Sometimes there is a sense of helplessness and powerlessness.

After the morning court, he waved his hand to tell Shen Zhong, who had been lecturing, to go, and went back to the East Palace by himself.

The prince had just entered the door when he saw the inner eunuch Xiao Guizi who was serving in the side hall came out to greet him, and after beating Qian'er, he said: "Your Highness, Master Li and Master Song are waiting for you in the side hall!"

The crown prince frowned. When the court just came down early, the two of them went back to the Yamen together. Why did they come to the East Palace in a blink of an eye?

He hummed, and ordered Xiao Guizi to change his clothes for him first, and after washing up, he strode towards the side hall.

"What's the matter?" The crown prince went directly to the upper seat and sat down. As soon as he walked from the entrance of the hall, he saw the two anxiously pacing back and forth in the hall. resistance.

Seeing the prince's displeasure, the two people in the hall hurriedly handed over their hands to plead guilty.

The crown prince waved his hands and asked them to get straight to the point.

Song Bin stepped forward, calmed down and said: "I just came back from the yamen. I heard that the case of two adults who were killed a few months ago has been investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. They said that they will submit the whole story of the case when His Majesty returns to the court in five days. Here it is for Your Majesty." (To be continued.
