Chapter 1541: I am the Emperor's dog, I only do things according to instructions
Xie Changling sighed, his eyes slightly sorrowful, but his expression was very firm.
He pulled a long face, suppressing the anger and unwillingness in his heart, and said without any pretense: "This official is more worried about His Majesty's health than anyone else. I am not afraid of Eunuch Wang laughing at me; I have today all thanks to His Majesty's trust and love! Without His Majesty, there would be no status for this official today.
I hope His Majesty lives a long life more than anyone else. But this is not a reason for me to avoid the problem. As the Left Prime Minister of the Great Ming, at this time, I should take responsibility and do what should be done. Right now, nothing is more important than establishing the Crown Prince or leaving a last will. Eunuch Wang, I believe you also understand what is light and what is heavy!"
"But... it hasn't reached that step yet."
Xie Changling sneered and mocked: "Can you guarantee that His Majesty will improve tomorrow? Can you guarantee that this illness will not lead to the worst result? The group of imperial physicians still hasn't figured out what illness His Majesty has; how can this official dare to be blindly optimistic. What this official wants to do is to make the worst plans and try as hard as possible in the best direction. Today it was just me forcing the palace alone; by tomorrow, it will be everyone in the Political Affairs Hall forcing the palace together."
"What does this have to do with Minister Cao again?"
"Cao Song clearly supports establishing Prince Duan as the Crown Prince, and was thrown into prison because of it. Releasing Minister Cao from prison is to tell the civil and military officials that His Majesty has the idea of establishing a Crown Prince, and favors..."
There is no need to say the rest; everyone understands.
Wang Defa was suddenly enlightened, his heart beating wildly: "Does Minister Xie also support Prince Duan?"
"This official doesn't support anyone; this official just acts according to the ancestral system and rules. Whatever the ancestral system stipulates, this official does."
Until this moment, Xie Changling still refused to leave any handle.
Whoever has the advantage in rules and systems, he supports, that's the attitude. It doesn't matter who that person is, just like it doesn't matter whether the person sitting on the dragon chair is a human or a dog. As long as it is the identity of the Emperor, he is loyal.
A family of hundreds of years doesn't need to rely on speculation to seek wealth. Therefore, he doesn't need to take sides.
No matter who is the Emperor, the Xie family is there, always there.
Wang Defa couldn't control his shivering, put his hands in his sleeves, was silent for a moment, and said: "His Majesty is stubborn and will not easily compromise."
"Please Eunuch Wang help me." Xie Changling requested politely.
"Don't count on me! I am the Emperor's dog, I only do things according to the Emperor's will." Wang Defa immediately stated his position, refusing to 'be in the same boat'!
He knew clearly what his identity was and what he could do.
Even if you are a powerful eunuch, you have to see if you have that life!
Xie Changling pressed step by step, forcing with the country and society: "Do you want to see the world in turmoil, the princes fighting each other, turning against each other?"
"If it cannot be avoided, that is fate!" At this moment, Wang Defa also made up his mind not to do anything extra. He would do whatever the Emperor told him to do. Even if he ended up with his head separated from his body, he would not regret it.
Xie Changling looked at the other party twice: "Then you had better watch Taiji Palace well, and don't let irrelevant people reach in."
Wang Defa's face was gloomy, and at this moment, he erupted with powerful killing intent: "Whoever dares to reach in, I will slaughter them."
"I hope you do what you say."
"Please Minister Xie also consider His Majesty's difficulties, and don't force him too much! His Majesty is not easy!"
Xie Changling sneered and teased: "His Majesty is just unwilling to accept his fate." He originally wanted to say that His Majesty is just delusional, delusional about seeking immortality, simply stupid.
When the words reached his lips, he finally changed his words.
Wang Defa's mouth is tight, but it depends on who it is. Facing Emperor Jian Shi, the other party is definitely someone who doesn't have a gate on his mouth.
He didn't want to fall out with Emperor Jian Shi because of an inappropriate word at a critical moment.
The sky was gloomy, just like the current situation, dark and oppressive, everything tied to Emperor Jian Shi alone. As long as the Emperor doesn't loosen his mouth for a day, these ministers have to be terrified every day.
Emperor Jian Shi woke up in the middle of the night, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Wang Defa serving by the bed.
"What time is it?"
"Your Majesty is awake! Thank Heaven and Earth. Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the third quarter of the Zi hour."
"I slept for such a long time?" Emperor Jian Shi was still a bit confused, not yet thinking that he was in a coma, not sleeping.
Wang Defa didn't dare to remind him, only asked: "Is Your Majesty hungry, should I pass the meal?"
Emperor Jian Shi nodded, and Wang Defa hurriedly ordered it down.
At this time, Emperor Jian Shi seemed to have come to his senses, remembered the day's events, rubbed his eyebrows, and asked: "Who is on duty?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Minister Sun is on duty tonight."
"Is there any statement from the Political Affairs Hall?"
"It's still the same old talk, urging Your Majesty to decide on the candidate for the Crown Prince early."
Emperor Jian Shi snorted, his face suddenly gloomy, and his anger seemed to have been ignited.
Wang Defa was uneasy: "Your Majesty, please calm down, the ministers are also doing it for the public. It doesn't necessarily mean they have ulterior motives."
"What do you know!"
Emperor Jian Shi sat up with the help of a little eunuch, his body weak and panting.
Wang Defa was very anxious: "I will go and call the imperial physician."
"No need! A bunch of trash! I know my own body, I can't die yet."
"Your Majesty must not have anything happen!"
Wang Defa knelt down, and all the palace servants serving in the bedroom knelt down together. Even the palace maid serving the Emperor on the dragon bed knelt down, honestly, not daring to make a sound.
Emperor Jian Shi was extremely angry: "Get out!"
Wang Defa waved his hand quietly, and the palace servants exited the bedroom in an orderly manner.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I panic when I hear the word death. Not for anything else, but for the country and society, Your Majesty should also protect your health."
Don't avoid the doctor!
He dared not say this.
He was afraid the Emperor would fall out and slaughter him.
The Emperor dared not slaughter the Prime Minister, but slaughtering a eunuch, no one dared to question.
"I can't die yet! Cough cough..." Emperor Jian Shi now hates two things the most: the first is forcing him to establish a Crown Prince, and the second is discussing his illness, as if he would die the next moment.
It's just a fever, he doesn't believe that this little problem can't be cured.
The imperial physicians are incompetent, so find a doctor from outside.
"The imperial physicians in the palace are incompetent, only thinking about how to save their lives, and the medicine they use is also very conservative. I remember the doctor who cut the tumor for Imperial Concubine Tong was found from outside, what was his name?"
Wang Defa had a good memory and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the doctor who cut the tumor for Imperial Concubine Tong is surnamed Mu, and he is a medical official in the Heavenly Prison. His ancestors were also imperial physicians. In the early years of the late Emperor, the then-Imperial Physician Mu committed a crime and was beheaded, and it also implicated the family. Since then, the Mu family has been a medical official in the Heavenly Prison. His family opened a medical clinic to treat the neighbors, and the reputation is very good. Song Shizheng, who was abducted from the Prince Dongping's mansion, was saved by him." ===== CHAPTER 1542 =====
