Chapter 244

Not to mention how Xiaomi was looking forward to the reunion in the Hou Mansion, but only to say that in the palace, at this time, several elders walked out of the gate of the Guangming Palace with tired faces.

Huang Shangshu, who is in charge of the Ministry of War, took a few steps behind and stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Lin, and said with a smile, "Master Li, there is a small restaurant in the south of the city, and I heard that braised pork is the best. If you have time, let's go have a drink?"

Li Lin cupped his hands to express his gratitude, but declined, "Thank you, Lord Huang. Thanks to the trust of the emperor and the crown prince, Xiaguan will preside over this exam. It is really a lot of business, so I can only live up to Lord Huang's kindness. After the exam, the next official will do it." How about Donghui?"

Master Huang's complexion was a bit bad, and when he wanted to persuade him again, Li Lin said again, "Besides, Master Huang doesn't know, the stewed meat restaurant you mentioned is run by the wife and brother of the lower official, and the lower official is acting on his behalf. Brother-in-law thanked Mr. Huang for his love and praise."

After finishing speaking, he saluted again, walked quickly to the front, and left the palace gate in a blink of an eye.

Mr. Huang is in charge of the Ministry of War. Naturally, he was born in the general family, and his temper is not to say hot, but also straightforward.Seeing this, he blew his beard and stared at him and cursed, "This Li Lin really deserves to be nicknamed a coffin board by outsiders. He is really smelly and hard."

The others laughed and said, "Since you know his temper, why is Mr. Huang still getting along?"

Mr. Huang spread his hands helplessly, "It's still my incompetent nephew. He doesn't learn martial arts well, but wants to stick to words. I have no choice but to walk around for him."

All the people in the company were civil servants, so I couldn't help but ask, "Master Huang said this, what's wrong with swearing at words? Could it be enough to dance with a gun and use a stick?"

Master Huang provoked the "anger" of the crowd, and hurried back to make amends, "Oh, everyone, I made a slip of the tongue, go, go, I will be the host, and I will apologize to everyone."

"That's about it, but another day."

Everyone has been ministers in the same hall for many years, so naturally they would not be stubborn about such a trivial matter, and they all shook their heads, "His Royal Highness has given so many errands, let's go back and deal with them quickly."

"That's right, although your majesty... the dragon's body is not healthy, but with the crown prince around, the prosperity of the Great Yuan can still be expected."

Lord Huang also said, "That's right, loyal to the emperor and patriotic to the country, a crown prince like the Crown Prince is blessed by the Great Yuan and the common people, but some people don't know... Hmph, their brains are confused by the god of bullshit!"

"Ahem, Mr. Huang, don't talk about this. I still have something to do at home, so let's go ahead."

"The same is true for me, see you tomorrow."

Seeing that the palace gate was at the side, several officials clasped their hands together and quickly got into their sedan chairs and carriages and left.

Huang Shangshu was left behind with a cold snort of contempt, "I thought he was reliable, but it turns out...huh!"

Since the emperor fell ill, the crown prince supervised the country and handled state affairs.Facing the inside and the outside, although there are many things happening in private, on the surface it is still harmonious.Sometimes, people even mistakenly think that the powerful humiliation of Zoroastrianism that night never happened.

But those who are interested still smell a strong sense of danger. There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. Zoroastrianism intends to override the imperial power, and a confrontation will inevitably be triggered.

And those officials who believed in Zoroastrianism that night, in their hearts, which one is Da Yuan and Vulcan?
Obviously, the prince no longer trusts any of them, including Prime Minister Su's family.Just look at the officials left to discuss political affairs today, none of them were the ones who knelt down that night...

Recently, Huang Shangshu, who has made up a lot of secrets of Zoroastrian Cult, raised his head and glanced at the somewhat gloomy sky, frowning slightly.

The rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building...

In the Palace of Light, Feng Ze washed his face, changed his clothes, managed to get rid of the tired look on his face, and then got up and went to Yangxing Pavilion.

The emperor, who was wearing a bright yellow satin jacket, was leaning on the soft pillow. Although his expression was a little gray, his eyes were frighteningly bright.This appearance is naturally not as good as before, but it is still much better than the dying person guessed by outsiders.

Lao Yang, who was still wearing a blue cotton robe, was sitting on the brocade stool, when he saw Feng Ze coming in, he got up and saluted.

Feng Ze stretched out his hand to support him, and said in a low voice, "Grandfather, please forgive me."

Lao Yang didn't insist, stood up with a smile, and replied, "The prince is sympathetic, but don't mess with the rules."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and saluted the emperor, and then slowly retreated, giving the entire space to the royal father and son.

Eunuch Lu took people to serve lunch, the most respected father and son in the world, the food they ate was not extravagant, it was just a cup of soup, two meat and two vegetables, plus a bowl of Japonica rice.

The emperor tried his best to eat half a bowl of rice and half a cup of soup, then put down the ivory chopsticks.

Feng Ze eats Xiangsiwen, but has a good appetite, and eats almost all the meals.

Sure enough, a smile appeared on the emperor's face, "It's best for the emperor to eat more. When I was young, I had a bigger appetite than you."

Feng Ze took a sip of tea from Eunuch Lu, and then responded, "Father has taken care of his body, and his appetite will be better than that of the child."

A dark look flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he couldn't bear his son's sadness, so he waved his hand to signal Eunuch Lu to take him down.

After the room was clean, he asked, "Is the previous dynasty still peaceful?"

"Father, don't worry, this is Da Yuan, the Da Yuan of the Feng family."

Feng Ze's eyes were extremely cold, it was obvious that he was still brooding over the events of that day.

The emperor patted his son on the shoulder, and finally supported himself to go to the ground.Feng Ze quickly helped him up, and slowly walked to the imperial concubine's couch in front of the window. Although he had to sit on his back, he could see the sky outside through the half-open window.

Seeing that his father looked okay, Feng Ze asked a question that had been pent up in his heart for many days.

"Father, what is the plan of the Su family? Is it true that they are devout worshipers of the Zoroastrianism? A shrewd and knowledgeable person like Prime Minister Su, with disciples all over the Yuan Dynasty, can be said to have power over the government. One person is under one person and over ten thousand people. Isn't this enough?" ?”

The emperor raised his hand to straighten the snow-white cuffs, and said with a sneer, "Since you are a shrewd and knowledgeable person, you will naturally have a plan in doing things. But no matter how deep they hide, there will always be a day when they will show their fox's tail. See you in the picture, The emperor doesn't need to ask any more questions, he will control himself when the time comes. But..."

For some reason, the emperor's eyes were covered with grief, "If that day really comes, the emperor must not be too sad, the great cause is the most important thing!"

Feng Ze frowned when he heard this, and became more and more powerless in the cloud. He wanted to ask again, but the emperor had already waved his hand, obviously unwilling to say any more.

"All the Marquis Wu who guard the Quartet have entered Beijing?"

The emperor brought up another topic, Feng Ze could only put away his boredom, nodded in response, "The Marquis of Donghai sent his daughter-in-law Princess Moyu, Marquis of Anxi is the eldest son Shangguanyang, Marquis of Weiyuan needless to say, He stayed in the capital all the time and never went north. On the contrary, the Marquis of Zhennan, all the mother and son of the Tie family went to Beijing."

The emperor's face brightened a little, and he instructed, "They have worked hard and made great contributions to station the Great Yuan. They should not be treated harshly. Earlier, the ineffective young son of Marquis Weiyuan got into trouble, and it was already a punishment. Anwei Yuanhou's heart."

"Yes, Father."

Hearing Wei Yuanhou, Feng Ze naturally thought of a certain mountain village in the Northland, a certain girl who was waiting for his return. With bitterness in his heart, he asked patiently, "Father, are the four princes really trustworthy?"

The emperor nodded, "Dayuan has today's peace, and the four great lords have contributed a lot. But people's hearts are changeable, and the emperor must always be careful to distinguish. But... Donghaihou, you can definitely trust it."

"Why? Please give me your advice."

When Feng Ze arrived at the tea, he handed both hands to the emperor.The emperor took a sip lightly to moisten his throat, and then he talked about the old things.

"The emperor must be sorry for that night. My forbearance is hard to understand. The so-called emperor bleeds and bleeds. With my heart, why don't I want to kill the Zoroastrians on the spot, and even stick up their roots, but... this world always Some miraculous things cannot be resisted by man."

The emperor looked out of the window at the dark cloud-covered sky, with a hint of cruelty and determination in his expression.

"Twenty years ago, I ascended the throne for only five years. I had a deep affection with your mother. It was the time when I was young and full of ambition. The Fire Worship Sect sent envoys and added annual tributes. In a fit of anger, I ordered the East China Sea Hou Beizhan, unexpectedly... One day, the sacred mountain on Xiaoyao Island erupted, billowing red light, and the sky was covered in black smoke. The thirty thousand people in Donghai County, whoever inhaled the black smoke, convulsed and died. Some even turned into fly ash directly. It disappeared. Zoroastrianism sent someone to send the saint's personal maid to the capital to force me to marry her."

"But Concubine Su?"

Feng Ze's face was extremely gloomy, and he clenched his fists unconsciously.The emperor raised his hand to separate his five fingers for his son, but his expression became more and more sad.

"Exactly, I have a deep love for your queen mother, and you exist in your mother's womb, so naturally I wouldn't listen. As a result... the Fire Worship Sect bribed your mother's personal nurse, and injected a taste of the world's strange poison, lovesickness! Lovesickness is endless." Solution, haggard return. Your mother's empress gradually weakened, and I tried my best to watch her soul return to the west after giving birth to you. In order to protect you and the people of the East China Sea, I succumbed to the Fire Worship Cult and married Concubine Su Gui. Worship. But to the outside world, I only said that the plague in the East China Sea was rampant, with tens of thousands of deaths and injuries, and secretly suppressed the Zoroastrianism to recruit believers. I thought that the Zoroastrianism took the opportunity to promote the power of the Vulcan, but for some reason, Xiaoyao Island was strangely peaceful. As long as the tribute continues, there will be no Show off your power again.

In the past 20 years, even the families of the victims in Donghai County have forgotten a lot.But I have never forgotten for a day, the death of your mother, the hatred of the people being slaughtered, and the imperial power being humiliated!I want to...cough cough, cough cough! "

After all, the emperor's health is too poor. After talking so much, he aroused the hatred in his heart, and coughed heavily again.Bright red blood spewed out of his mouth and sprinkled on the snow-white veil, Feng Ze was so startled that he stood up and was about to call for someone.

Unexpectedly, the emperor grabbed his son's hand and comforted him, "Don't panic, my son, I know it well."

"Father, I still pass on the imperial physician..."

"No, it's been many years. I know my illness in my heart. How can I go to see your mother with peace of mind if I don't see the revenge of my revenge."

Feng Jian's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth tightly, but gently wiped the blood from the corner of his father's mouth with his hands, and poured tea for him to rinse his mouth.
