Chapter 1540: You are deliberately trying to force the Emperor to death

~8 min read 1,512 words

Fang Fuguang still had one last breath hanging on.

In order to save the person, Chen Guanlou woke up Medical Official Mu.

Medical Official Mu decided life and death in one sentence: "There is still a rescue!"

Chen Guanlou instantly let out a sigh of relief: "What medicinal materials are needed, take the opportunity to open your mouth like a lion and let the Embroidered Uniform Guard be responsible."

"My lord's meaning is, this time we are going to knock the Embroidered Uniform Guard for a bamboo pole?"

"What do you mean by knocking for a bamboo pole, that sounds terrible. I am reasonably requesting compensation. You worked hard, shouldn't you receive compensation? The Heavenly Prison provides the venue, personnel, and medical treatment, shouldn't it receive compensation?"

"My lord, no need to say more, this old man understands. This old man will write the list now and let the Embroidered Uniform Guard send the medicinal materials."

Chen Guanlou smiled with satisfaction.

He was determined to make the Embroidered Uniform Guard bleed heavily.

Xiao Jincheng saw the various precious medicinal materials listed on the list, and his eyebrows twitched twice uncontrollably.

Although the landlord's family had no surplus grain, he still agreed very decisively: "Some medicinal materials need some time, but most of the medicinal materials can be sent tonight."

"As soon as possible!" Chen Guanlou reminded the other party: "Don't think about defaulting on the debt!"

"Prison Warden Chen, rest assured, you can question my credit, but there is no need to question the Embroidered Uniform Guard's credit. The promised medicinal materials will definitely be delivered on time."

"That would be best!"

They were busy rescuing the prisoner, just to get the confession.

In the palace, Emperor Jian Shi was angered into illness.

At first, it was just dizziness.

The imperial physician checked, and everything was normal; it might be temporary dizziness and headache caused by anger. Sleeping it off and calming down should relieve it.

Emperor Jian Shi followed the advice and lay down to sleep.

When he woke up, he felt even more dizzy and weak all over. Touching his forehead, he had a fever. This immediately shocked the imperial physicians of the Taiyi Academy.

His Majesty had a fever, and they didn't discover it in time; this was a huge matter.

Prescribe medicine, reduce the fever!

The fever went down, but after a few hours, it started to repeat.

Repeated fever, initially high fever, later unexplained repeated low fever. Every day he had no energy, the morning court could not be held, and he could only force himself to hold a small morning court.

When the court officials learned that the Emperor was unwell, they all guessed whether it was because of the earthquake during the Heaven-offering ceremony that angered the Emperor into illness.

They were all very worried!

At the same time, they were muttering in their hearts that the Emperor was truly small-minded; he had arrested so many people and still hadn't calmed down, and had even angered himself into illness.

At first, everyone didn't take this illness to heart. Thinking that after a few days, when the case had some clues and the Emperor figured it out himself, his health would improve.

Only a few officials in the Political Affairs Hall knew clearly that the Emperor's illness was not simple.

Fever itself had the risk of death.

And it was repeated fever, which was worrying.

But they dared not leak the news, for fear of causing tremors in the imperial court and tremors in the world.

The impact caused by the earthquake had just begun, and everyone in the world was staring at the capital, wanting to know how the imperial court would handle it and what movement the Emperor had.

At this time, if news spread that His Majesty was seriously ill and the cause was unknown, it would definitely cause panic among the people, and some ambitious people would be ready to move again. It was not easy to stabilize the south, and the rebels had been wiped out one by one, or fled to remote areas; at that time, the flames of war would rise again.

The Great Ming Jiangshan could not withstand frequent tossing again and again.

It would definitely be severely damaged!

The Political Affairs Hall not only hid it from the civil and military officials but even hid it from the inner palace.

No one in the palace knew that the Emperor was seriously ill. Even the most favored Imperial Consort Jing was blocked outside the gate of the Taiji Palace.

People in the palace only thought that His Majesty was still in a fit of rage because of the earthquake during the Heaven-offering ceremony and could not spare the time to go to the inner palace.

The palace servants serving the Emperor were screened and screened again by Wang Defa, all of whom were his people. Ensuring that no news would leak out.

No Eunuch Gan, no one could get close to His Majesty.

Xie Changling sat by the bed, looking at the sickly Emperor Jian Shi on the bed, his face serious.

Taking advantage of the Emperor's clarity, he suggested: "Why not release Minister Cao."

Emperor Jian Shi heard this, his eyes widened: "Does Minister Xie think that I cannot be saved?"

"Your Majesty, speak carefully!" Xie Changling was neither humble nor arrogant: "Just in case, this is the common thought of all the ministers in the Political Affairs Hall. Although Cao Song is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, he stands upright. With him here, can he stabilize people's hearts at a critical moment?"

"Stabilize whose hearts? You, Xie Changling, as the Left Prime Minister, can you not stabilize people's hearts? If you admit you are incompetent, I will issue a decree now to dismiss you from office! Cough cough..."

Emperor Jian Shi was in a fit of rage, his face flushed with an abnormal flush, coughing repeatedly.

The imperial physician stepped forward, both diagnosing and persuading.

Emperor Jian Shi was extremely angry, waved his hand, and smashed the medicine bowl: "A bunch of trash. What kind of illness do I have, can't you diagnose it? Usually, you all boast of being divine doctors, but now you can't even cure a fever; what use are you! Cough cough..."

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Protecting your health is the most important thing!" Xie Changling was neither hurried nor slow: "Everyone's meaning is, why not establish the Crown Prince early."

"Xie Changling, are you doing this on purpose? Are you deliberately trying to force me to death? In your eyes, have I already been sentenced to death?"

Emperor Jian Shi pointed at Xie Changling's nose and cursed, all of which were heart-piercing words. He was just short of calling him a rebellious subject!

Xie Changling's eyebrows didn't move at all, and after the other party finished cursing, he said: "It's already this time, why is Your Majesty determined not to establish a Crown Prince? If there is a long or short, what do you want the imperial court to do, what do you want the world to do? This world is the Song family's world, not the Xie family's world. Your Majesty, please be a responsible person and don't be willful anymore. The ancestors of the Great Ming are all watching!"

"Get out! Get out! Cough cough... Get further away! I don't want to see you now."

Emperor Jian Shi threw it in anger, the porcelain pillow fell and shattered, and he himself lay on the bed, completely unconscious.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Defa was shocked!

The imperial physicians were anxious.

Wang Defa was angry at Xie Changling: "Why does Minister Xie have to be aggressive, knowing that His Majesty's health is not good and cannot withstand stimulation. Why do you still... forcing His Majesty to death, what good does it do you."

Xie Changling had a straight face, with red bloodshot eyes in his eyes. As the Left Prime Minister, he hadn't slept a full night these days, struggling every day, calculating repeatedly, defaulting all possibilities, and responding means.

He was very exhausted.

But he still supported his body, his spine straightened, worthy of being the Left Prime Minister of the Great Ming.

He contained anger and said slowly: "Eunuch Wang, under the current situation, if I don't force it, what do you want me to do? If I let His Majesty continue to be willful, if there is a long or short, but there is no last will, what do you want me to do? Or do you want to see loyal ministers forcing the palace together?"

"You... don't bully people too much!"

Wang Defa knew that what the other party said made sense; the country and society were more important than anyone or anything.

However, he was His Majesty's slave, and he should put His Majesty first in everything.

He opened his mouth, but still said: "Even if... this matter should be slowed down, at least prioritize His Majesty's health." ===== CHAPTER 1541 =====
