Chapter 1542: Questioning the case

"Your Majesty, should I let Medical Official Mu enter the palace?"

Wang Defa asked cautiously, and seeing the Emperor didn't make a sound, he continued to give ideas: "The imperial physicians have to be responsible for Your Majesty's health and can't spare time. The ministers in the Political Affairs Hall are working day and night, and the weather is alternating between warm and cold. To prevent the ministers from getting sick and delaying the major affairs of the country, it is reasonable to arrange a doctor to diagnose the ministers. Treat if there is an illness, prevent if there is no illness. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

He couldn't openly invite Medical Official Mu into the palace to diagnose the Emperor, so as not to leak the news and cause tremors in the imperial court. He could only use the reason of diagnosing the ministers to invite people into the palace.

Just in case, one minister must guard Taiji Palace every twelve hours. Therefore, bringing Medical Official Mu into Taiji Palace was also a matter of course.

This move of hiding the sky and crossing the sea might not be able to hide from those with intentions, but it could hide from most people. As long as the imperial court is peaceful, it is better than anything.

Emperor Jian Shi was very satisfied with this, and Wang Defa was rewarded for being considerate of the holy will.

"Approved!"

Wang Defa felt relieved.

As long as the Emperor doesn't avoid the doctor and is willing to actively diagnose and treat the illness, it is better than anything.

After the meal, and because he slept too much, Emperor Jian Shi was not sleepy. He shouted for Wang Defa to move the memorials of the past few days, and he wanted to take a look.

The case of the earthquake during the Heaven-offering ceremony was being investigated by the three judicial departments.

Emperor Jian Shi was very dissatisfied with the investigation progress and coughed lightly: "Go and call Minister Sun in, I have something to ask him."

"Your Majesty, the night is deep, you should rest. The imperial physicians also said that Your Majesty's illness cannot be tired. I hope Your Majesty protects your health."

"Too much nonsense! Hurry up, don't let me say it a third time."

Wang Defa had no choice but to invite Sun Daoning personally.

Sun Daoning was very happy to learn that the Emperor was awake and had eaten.

As a result, he found that he only ate half a bowl.

A big man, who had been in a coma for several hours, only ate half a bowl of white porridge after waking up, and he immediately furrowed his brows.

"Is Your Majesty still having a fever? How does Your Majesty feel now?"

Wang Defa answered instead: "Your Majesty still has a fever. Minister Sun, speak directly, don't delay Your Majesty's rest."

Sun Daoning nodded repeatedly, and at Emperor Jian Shi's signal, sat on the round stool by the bed, properly.

Among the ministers in the Political Affairs Hall, the one surnamed Sun is the most honest.

Emperor Jian Shi thought silently in his heart.

He rested on a soft pillow, leaned on the head of the bed, and said: "How is the case going? Is there any progress?"

Sun Daoning bowed his head slightly, respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this official personally led people to interrogate Wei Huaizhang, whether there was anyone directing the disturbance in the Golden Throne Hall, and in order to get the confession, necessary means were used.

According to Wei Huaizhang's confession, since last year, he began to impeach Imperial Consort Jing. Every time, Your Majesty left it in the middle and didn't issue it. If there were too many impeachments, Your Majesty would also scold him. He became more and more hostile and dissatisfied with Imperial Consort Jing in his heart. On the day of the Heaven-offering ceremony, he felt it was a good day to topple Imperial Consort Jing, so he spoke rudely and disturbed the imperial court.

This official didn't believe his statement and increased the intensity of the punishment. He couldn't hold on and finally confessed that about half a month before the Heaven-offering ceremony, a note appeared in his study for no reason, saying that as long as he could topple Imperial Consort Jing and her son, he could be guaranteed to be the Right Censor-in-Chief. And hinted that he should increase the intensity of the impeachment.

This official asked him where the note was, and he said it had been burned. As for the origin of the note, he knew nothing, and this official believes this statement is true.

This official asked him again why he would believe a note without origin, and not be afraid of being deceived and used as a pawn. He replied that it was seeking wealth in danger.

He has ambitions and aspirations, and looks down on many behaviors in officialdom, but because his official position is too low, his impeachments often sink into the sea. Therefore, he was eager to be promoted. Even if the other party deceived him, he was willing to try. After all, even without that note, he would still insist on impeaching Imperial Consort Jing and her son. The above is the main content of Wei Huaizhang's confession. Please Your Majesty's clear judgment!"

Emperor Jian Shi's face was iron-blue: "I favor Imperial Consort Jing and her son, who is it that is an eyesore, so that they make things difficult for Imperial Consort Jing and her son everywhere. It is truly bullying! Cough cough..."

"Your Majesty, please protect yourself!" Sun Daoning was very worried.

Wang Defa gently patted Emperor Jian Shi's back to soothe his body.

Emperor Jian Shi's lips were white, but his cheeks were flushed.

Sun Daoning was not at ease and suggested: "Let the imperial physician come in and take a look, at least be at ease."

"I'm fine! In the front court and inner palace, someone wants to harm my beloved consort. Minister Sun, continue to investigate this case. Be sure to find out who left that note and what the purpose is. Spare no cost to find the person behind the scenes. No matter who it is, dare to harm my beloved consort and imperial son, I want them to die."

"Yes!" Sun Daoning was a bit helpless.

Compared to investigating the case, the more important thing right now is clearly the Emperor's health and establishing the Crown Prince. But the Emperor put the cart before the horse, only caring about Imperial Consort Jing and her son, only caring about venting his anger.

He was not easy to persuade.

He is not Xie Changling, doesn't have such a big face, and doesn't have such great favor. If the words are inappropriate, he will anger the Emperor, and maybe his Ministry of Justice Minister position will be over.

Emperor Jian Shi was still coughing, and it was obvious that his body was weak, soft and limp.

He reminded Wang Defa: "This can't go on. Hurry up and call the imperial physician. No matter what, Your Majesty cannot have anything happen."

Wang Defa has to serve the Emperor, and is also afraid that violating the Emperor's will will be blamed: "Please Minister Sun work hard."

Sun Daoning was angry: "Your Majesty cannot force it, this official will let the imperial physician come in."

"Not allowed to go!" Emperor Jian Shi was still pretending.

However, Sun Daoning could bear the consequences of angering the Emperor and being punished by the Emperor. But he could not bear the consequences of the Emperor's death.

Therefore, he ignored the Emperor and went straight outside, calling all the imperial physicians resting in the side hall to the bedroom to diagnose the Emperor.

The imperial physicians were also terrified, because the Emperor's pulse was weaker.

One by one, cold sweat broke out.

"What illness does Your Majesty have? Even if you can't diagnose it, you should use appropriate medicine to alleviate Your Majesty's condition. If you... if Your Majesty has a long or short, this official will not spare you. Everyone in the Taiyi Academy must go to the Heavenly Prison for a few days."

Sun Daoning was also ruthless.

He was worried about a long or short, called Wang Defa to the outside of the bedroom, and whispered: "Should we send someone to invite all the ministers in the Political Affairs Hall."

"What does Minister mean?" Wang Defa's heart tightened: "Minister Sun, don't scare me."

"You think this official wants to scare you." He looked into the bedroom through the door curtain: "You have also seen His Majesty's situation; no one can guarantee whether he can safely pass tonight. Taiji Palace cannot have only this official alone, at least add one more official."

Two officials witness together, to prevent themselves from being framed and falling into eternal damnation!

Wang Defa is reliable, however, the other party is a eunuch after all. At a critical moment, the eunuch's words are not useful at all.

He must consider his own future, and also consider the country and society of the Great Ming. Tonight, the Political Affairs Hall cannot have only him guarding Taiji Palace.

He is not Xie Changling, he doesn't have the courage to decide alone! ===== CHAPTER 1543 =====
