Chapter 62

The fact that Emperor Chengning trusted and relied on the regent was well known in the court.

For the ministers, although they did not understand where did Emperor Chengning's complete trust in the regent come from.However, since Emperor Chengning trusted the Prince Regent so much, and the Prince Regent himself had military merits, he was the first and only person who volunteered to dedicate his domain to the Emperor, and at the same time he was extremely loyal to Emperor Chengning, Even Emperor Chengning's "forcing the palace to succeed to the throne" at that time could clearly see the shadow of the regent.

Obviously, Emperor Chengning's trust in the regent was not entirely without reason.

As for the regent's loyalty to Emperor Chengning, for all the courtiers, they have seen a lot.

Apart from other things, at least the regent is indeed a bit more credited and loyal than them.

What's more, when Emperor Chengning was still the prince, the regent had already begun to be loyal to the prince.The two are uncles and nephews, their ages are not far apart, and they grew up together more or less... Emperor Chengning and the Prince Regent have so much affection, it is no wonder that Emperor Chengning trusts the Prince Regent so much up.

Although everyone felt sour in their hearts, they felt that the Prince Regent had taken away a lot of Emperor Chengning's "favor", but after thinking about it carefully, it is indeed difficult to find a second person in this world who can take refuge in him early, and who can also honor his own with dignity. The huge fief is given to those who have dedicated it.

Therefore, even if Emperor Chengning made an imperial decree to make King Zhao the regent, everyone more or less opened their mouths to block it, but it can be seen that Emperor Chengning insisted in his heart, and the regent at that time replaced the emperor and entrusted several fiefdoms. All of them were received in Emperor Chengning's pocket. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they could only suppress their temper and admit it. Do you have to worry about whether you are following a foolish king?Although the regent king now has a reward, but apart from the name of the regent king, the rest of the rewards, in detail, how can they compare with the fief offered by the regent king for free, and the early defection to Emperor Chengning and helping Emperor Chengning ascend the throne? What about the credit?

Even Prime Minister Zuo, who was most loyal to the Daxing Dynasty, only deliberately dissuaded Xiao Wuchen a little, and then acquiesced to this matter.

Because at that time, even he thought that the regent Xiao Junye would be loyal to Emperor Ning for the rest of his life!

Prime Minister Zuo is old, and hearing Xiao Junye's words just now, he couldn't help covering his chest, pointing at Xiao Junye with trembling fingers for a while, and then swallowed his anger, saying: "Could it be that the regent is confused? How can the five grains not get sick? Besides, it is still the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it is common for His Majesty to get sick. However, His Majesty fell ill due to the sudden cold weather, and the only thing he got was wind-cold symptoms. This kind of illness is not a terminal illness. Today, His Majesty will recover, and he will be able to continue to deal with the government affairs after a few more days of recuperation. How could it be like what the few imperial physicians brought by the Regent said, His Majesty will not be able to recover from the illness, and from then on, he can only hand over state affairs For the Regent, Your Majesty will only have the title of Emperor in vain from now on, but not the reality of Emperor?"

Prime Minister Zuo has always been loyal, and his loyalty is not just to a certain emperor, but to the entire Daxing Dynasty.It is precisely because of this that when he discovered that Emperor Chengguang had abandoned court laws and used pills to deal with his courtiers, he was disappointed in Emperor Cheng, and agreed to the request of Emperor Chengning, who was still the prince at that time, to help Emperor Chengning, who was obviously young, wise and wise, succeeded to the throne.

Similarly, if the Emperor Chengning at this time is a truly stupid person, then Prime Minister Zuo would turn a blind eye and close one eye when he found out that the more outstanding regent was planning to empty Emperor Chengning. king to go.Anyway, as long as the people of the Daxing Dynasty can benefit, what does it matter who occupies that position and holds that power?

However, Prime Minister Zuo watched Xiao Wuchen and Xiao Junye grow up.He can clearly tell that Xiao Wuchen is more suitable to be a wise king, and he is a wise king who knows people and uses them well, and loves the common people.And Xiao Junye... Prime Minister Zuo knew that he was sent to the palace after he was seven years old. Xiao Wuchen was nothing more than that.If such a person is allowed to be the emperor, even if he is still the regent in name— Prime Minister Zuo shuddered, he could obviously guess that the next Daxing Dynasty would not be like what Xiao Wuchen had planned before In that way, there will be a few years to recuperate, and then after recuperating, try to use gentle means to regain the remaining feudal land.Xiao Junye will go to war directly!

In any case, there are only seven feudal lands left in Daxing, and one of them, King An, is still young. Although the feudal lands belong to him, they are actually in the hands of the royal family.Therefore, the Daxing royal family actually controlled more manpower, soldiers, horses, food and grass. If they insisted on going to war at this time, the Daxing royal family might not be able to take all the remaining feudal lands into their pockets within two or three years.

Only if this is the case, the people living in and around the feudal land in Daxing will be affected by the war, be displaced, and even die.

Prime Minister Zuo looked at Xiao Junye, who was condescending and indifferent, and had no doubt that once Xiao Junye took all the power in the court into his hands, he would do so.

However, Prime Minister Zuo understood and could predict things that others could not predict.

And Xiao Junye, who saw Prime Minister Zuo's thoughts, naturally couldn't allow Prime Minister Zuo to hinder him again.

Therefore, after hearing Prime Minister Zuo's question, Xiao Junye only smiled coldly, and said: "Prime Minister Zuo is neither willing to trust me nor the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, so he will post the imperial list, search all over the world for doctors, and summon them all." Come and diagnose His Majesty!"

After finishing speaking, he flicked his long sleeves, sat in the second seat of the master, and said with a blank expression: "This matter has already been agreed upon by the king and His Majesty. If you are not satisfied, you can ask His Majesty yourself! Now, go to court! "

Everyone fell silent immediately.

Prime Minister Zuo was so angry that he gasped several times.

But what can he do?

Emperor Chengning really trusted the regent very much before, and when he fell ill this time, Tete temporarily handed over the power of the court to the regent in front of several prime ministers.

But now, the regent just turned this "temporary" into a long-term one.

Thinking of the regent's words that after going to court, he could personally see Emperor Chengning, Prime Minister Zuo spent a lot of effort to temporarily suppress his anger and go to court with peace of mind.

It was only after going to court, when Prime Minister Zuo went to the emperor's dormitory to see Emperor Chengning, that he discovered that all the palace servants and guards around the dormitory had been replaced!

Prime Minister Zuo's face suddenly changed drastically. He asked the guard to go and tell His Majesty about his request to see him. The guard agreed on the surface, but he never returned after he left. Then he asked the second and third guards to go for him. With words, in the end, those two guards also disappeared forever!

Prime Minister Zuo immediately understood why Xiao Junye would say such words - because Xiao Junye never planned to let him see Xiao Wuchen from the beginning to the end!

Not to mention how angry Prime Minister Zuo was, he only wished he could fly into the sky and escape from the ground, and try to break into the Ganquan Palace to save Xiao Wuchen. Take care of Xiao Wuchen.

Xiao Wuchen was still not awake.

Ah Du took care of him every step of the way.Because Xiao Wuchen was still feverish, not that kind of high fever, but a persistent low-grade fever, Ah-ya naturally didn't dare to leave even a single step.

He wanted to imitate how the regent used to talk to Xiao Wuchen from time to time when he was taking care of Xiao Wuchen, and tried every means to wake Xiao Wuchen up.However, he was born unable to speak.

Not only would he not, but because of his own stupidity, in the end, not only did he fail to hurt the regent, but A Yao was beaten fifty times with a cane and thrown out of the Oasis Palace—A Dumb didn’t even know that he was beaten five times with a stick. Ten's Ah Yao, is he still alive?

And he couldn't tell Xiao Wuchen these things at all.Because the regent, who was originally loyal but now rampant, had already threatened him and forced him to take care of Xiao Wuchen, he could not "speak" anything that would be detrimental to Xiao Wuchen's condition, as long as he focused on taking care of Xiao Wuchen.

And in Ganquan Palace, whenever food, soup and medicine are used, there are always strangers from the palace, and they come and go every hour or two.

For the rest of the time, only Xiao Wuchen and Ah Ya were left.

A hoarse sound came from Ah Ya's throat.

He wanted to shout, cry, and get angry, but he couldn't shout, cry, or get angry—he could only calm down and take care of His Majesty.

The regent had already beaten Ah Yao with a cane, and it was obvious that Ah Yao could not take care of His Majesty.And Ah Zhuang and Ah Chou were not careful enough. If he was also replaced by the regent looking for trouble, who else would take care of His Majesty?

Ah Chou took his sleeve to wipe the tears that fell down his face at some point, and then changed Xiao Wuchen's handkerchief.

No matter what, he had to take good care of Xiao Wuchen.

Only when Xiao Wuchen gets better can they get better.

Ah Du took good care of Xiao Wuchen, and the news that Xiao Wuchen was still awake quickly reached Xiao Junye's ears.

In fact, he was not alone in Ganquan Palace.

Before he and Xiao Wuchen had discussed the matter of the hidden guards, Xiao Junye's original intention was to train a group of hidden guards so that they could protect Xiao Wuchen.

It's just that his plan was suddenly thrown into chaos after he learned about the past life and Xiao Wuchen's "guilt" towards him.

Those hidden guards, Xiao Junye did not hand them over to Xiao Wuchen, but took them into his own hands.

Right now, he is listening to the report of the secret guard who has been monitoring Xiao Wuchen and Ah Du.

Xiao Junye asked him to repeat it three times, and after a long silence, he said, "He hasn't woken up all this time? Not even a moment?"

The comforter knelt on the ground on one knee, and said, "Go back to your lord, His Majesty has indeed been awake all this time."

Xiao Junye was silent for a while, and then said: "Then does he talk in sleep? You can read lips, and your ear is the best among the dark guards. Did you see or hear what he said?"

He took care of Xiao Wuchen for a long time, because Xiao Wuchen would fall into a coma when he got sick occasionally, so he also knew that Xiao Wuchen would always talk in his sleep - although he would not normally, but once he got sick , Xiao Wuchen would talk in his sleep uncontrollably.

That's why Xiao Junye asked the hidden guard so decisively.

The hidden guard got stuck slightly, and replied after a while: "Go back to your lord, Your Majesty has never talked in sleep."

It was the one named Ah Du who was "talking" all the time.It's a pity that he is a mute after all, so he can only make such an ugly sound.

Xiao Junye let out a "huh" and remained silent for a while before finally saying, "Then you go back and keep watching over him, don't..." He turned around, waved his hand, and didn't continue talking.

Seeing this, the hidden guard left quietly and wisely.

In Changle Palace, in the harem, the Empress Dowager, who had truly become the lord of the harem, soon found out that Xiao Wuchen was seriously ill, and the regent was handling state affairs on behalf of the new emperor.

Because she is the master of the harem—at least Xiao Wuchen didn't restrict her before, and the rest of the harem were willing to praise her for various reasons—so she specially placed people in Xiao Wuchen's bedroom In Ganquan Palace.

Therefore, she knows more than those people outside.

For example, the regent had a falling out with the new emperor, and the new emperor was seriously ill and injured, while the regent had already surrounded the Ganquan Palace with his own troops.

Obviously, his wolfish ambitions can no longer be concealed.

The Empress Dowager looked at Wang An who was obediently writing at the desk beside her, and couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in her heart.

She had thought they would never have another chance.But now, her opportunity is right in front of her eyes!

She didn't believe it, Xiao Wuchen, who was taken over by the Prince Regent and imprisoned, how could he fight her now!

Thinking about it, the Prince Regent would also be happy with her move.

The empress dowager showed a meaningful smile on her graceful and luxurious face.
