Han Shizu

Chapter 1766 Bad news keeps coming, the queen is critically ill
Did not stay in Qionglin Garden, Emperor Liu returned to the palace, the first time he received the news, Prime Minister Zhao Kuangyi hurried over.

"Meet Zhao Xiang!" Yan Tuo was teaching those dull servants in front of the hall, when he saw Zhao Kuangyi, he immediately smiled and bowed his hands in salute.

Zhao Kuangyi simply returned the salute, and glanced into the Chongzheng Hall. Like a thief, his expression was a little serious, and he asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask Senior Officer Yan, how does Your Majesty feel?"

Yan Tuo was a little surprised by Zhao Kuangyi's performance, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

How can we talk to an eunuch about state affairs, but after hesitating for a while, Zhao Kuangyi felt that he still couldn't offend this great eunuch.With a calm expression on his face, no contempt could be seen at all, Zhao Kuangyi sighed: "Just now I received a report from Hunan that Shi Shijun, the chief minister, died of illness while in office!"

Knowing this, Yan Tuo's expression also became serious. As a person close to Emperor Liu, Yan Tuo knew a lot about the personnel and affairs inside the imperial court, and basically all the officials in the frontier knew him. The Shi Shijun Zhao Kuangyi was talking about, he knew, was Shi Xizai up.

He also subconsciously looked into the hall, and Yan Tuo just reminded: "The official is not in a good mood, Mr. Xiang should be careful!"

Zhao Kuangyi's heart trembled, he became more cautious, and nodded his thanks: "Please inform me!"

"Sir, wait a moment!"

Yantuo turned back and entered, and soon, he appeared in the corridor again, and the emperor summoned him.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the news that Shi Xizai had died in office, Emperor Liu was in a daze, then asked to confirm, and then cared about the cause of death. After learning that it was a sudden emergency and died suddenly, he showed a touch of sentimentality color.

"Shi Ningji has also left me!" Emperor Liu murmured, "He's not yet sixty, and the world is impermanent! I want to make use of him, but God is jealous."

Shi Xizai was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Qianyou. He experienced two great eras in the development of the empire. It was not until the Kaibao period that he really made his way to the top.

Because he served as a scholar of Chongzheng under Emperor Liu's side, in the eyes of outsiders, he also belonged to the "Scholar School", and as his prestige grew with age, he became a leader among them.

As for the character and ability, there is nothing to say, this is a minister, and Emperor Liu's respect for him is well known in the court, and he has said more than once in private that with Shi Xizai's ability and qualifications, he should have been honored by the emperor long ago , use it sooner or later.

It's just that now, the news of the funeral has come, and the person has passed away without being awarded the honor, which is somewhat embarrassing.Zhao Kuangyi was here, but he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard Emperor Liu's emotion. In his opinion, the political affairs hall is already crowded enough, and if Shi Xizai is transferred back to Beijing, no matter who he replaces, it will not be a good thing for him. One Song Qi and one Wang Zhu had already made him uncomfortable. If there was another Shi Gong whose qualifications were higher than his, when would Zhao Kuangyi be able to reach the top?
Noticing that Emperor Liu was sad and murmuring, he was not as angry as he imagined. He suppressed his small thoughts, cupped his hands and comforted him and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Shi is diligent in the king's affairs, dedicated himself to the king's affairs, and never abandons his official duties when he is ill. Hunan's government is well-organized and people are harmonious, and all businesses are prosperous. The death is a great loss to the country, and it is really regrettable. However, the deceased is gone, and I ask Your Majesty to mourn!"

"You can take it easy!" Hearing this, Emperor Liu responded lightly, pondered for a while, and ordered: "For the funeral, we should do our best to mourn and honor, and everything will be funded by the treasury according to the court. In addition, the imperial edict, I A hundred years later, Shi Xizai will enjoy the temple court!"

Zhao Kuangyi was slightly surprised, but at the same time, he couldn't help feeling that few people could enjoy this kind of treatment. It was a little surprising that Shi Xizai's status in Emperor Liu's heart was so high. .

"Yes!"

"Where is the prince?" Emperor Liu couldn't help asking when he thought of Liu Yang.Generally speaking, this kind of thing should be reported by the prince, at least someone should be there.

Zhao Kuangyi replied: "The victims of the fire in Yanqingfang have their homes rebuilt. The project is completed today. His Highness heard the news and went to inspect and comfort him!"

"Yes! It should be!" Hearing this, Emperor Liu nodded.

There are good things in pairs, but there are also bad news. If it is said that Shi Xizai's funeral news only made Emperor Liu feel a little pity, after the ritual grief, his mood quickly recovered.

But the news from Kunming Palace made him unable to sit still any longer.Under the imperial steps, the maidservant of the Kunming Palace knelt down, crying, unable to speak clearly.

"Why are you crying, tell me clearly, what happened to the queen?" Emperor Liu rebuked coldly with his heart trembling.

With such an attack, the maidservant became even more panicked, trembling, tears flowed uncontrollably, as if she had lost her mouth, and didn't know how to speak.

As a result, Emperor Liu became even more annoyed, and suddenly slapped the imperial case, cursing: "If you don't make it clear, I will kill you!"

The deterrent of death is always effective. Seeing Emperor Liu's furious eyes, the female servant Yu finally came back to her senses, and stumbled back: "Your Majesty misses His Royal Highness Wei Wang. Recently, she has personally embroidered a robe and is going to send it to His Royal Highness Wei Wang. Alright, who would have thought Shicai suddenly coughed up blood and fainted."

Saying so, the maidservant cried again.When Emperor Liu heard it, his face turned pale unconsciously, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't stabilize himself at all, and asked anxiously, "How is the empress now?"

"It has been passed on to the imperial physician."

"I ask you how the empress is doing now?" Emperor Liu repeated, with a frightening expression on his face.

The attendant faltered, apparently not knowing.Seeing this, Emperor Liu also inadvertently pestered him, got up suddenly, and walked outside the hall, staggering a few steps in his eagerness.

"Let's drive to the Kunming Palace!" Yan Tuo followed, singing and drinking according to the etiquette.

Emperor Liu stopped, and gave Yan Tuo a sideways glance, his eyes made Yan Tuo tremble, and he immediately shut up.With a serious expression on his face, Emperor Liu quickly walked towards the Kunming Hall, his old cold legs seemed to be much smoother.

Yan Tuo followed with his head down, also a little frightened, Shi Xizai is nothing, if something happens to the queen, thinking about it, Yan Tuo will have a whim of catastrophe coming soon
In the Kunming Palace, Emperor Liu has not lived much in recent years, but this does not mean that his relationship with the empress has become cold. Normally, whoever dares to violate the touch talisman will not be able to please Emperor Liu first.

It was already dark, and Emperor Liu lived outside the Kunming Hall.Emperor Liu was naturally very familiar with this palace, but at this moment, he was a little bit afraid, the palace lanterns were already lit in the hallway, and the dim light shone on his face, revealing a half-gloomy look, like fear.

After a brief mental construction, Emperor Liu showed a forced smile to make himself look more relaxed.In the dormitory, the atmosphere was oppressive. The servants in the maid's house lowered their heads and lay on the couch behind the talisman. Their eyes were closed tightly and their faces were pale. The old doctor Sun was sweating profusely and was using needles.

Emperor Liu approached slowly, and the shadow gradually shrouded Sun Taiyi's body, making his hands tremble a few times.After a while, Physician Sun put away the needle and stood there in a daze. He could almost feel the breath of Emperor Liu behind him, but he was too nervous to turn his head.

"How is the queen?" Emperor Liu tried to keep his voice calm.

Hearing the sound, Imperial Physician Sun couldn't hold back any longer, turned around and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is suffering from lung disease."

"I asked the queen what happened?"

Physician Sun became even more panicked, and replied: "Your Majesty is infected with an external evil, and the evil energy has entered the body. The righteous energy is not enough, and it is difficult to support! I have already given acupuncture, and I still need medicine to recuperate!"

"Can acupuncture and medicine be cured?" When Emperor Liu heard that it was a lung disease, his mood sank again, but he kept asking.

"It still depends on the conditioning effect."

Hearing Sun Taiji's lack of confidence, Emperor Liu stopped pretending, frowned and said angrily: "Avoid the serious and take the light, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not!" Facing Emperor Liu's almost cannibalistic gaze, Imperial Physician Sun kowtowed in fear.

"Why did you come here only as an imperial doctor? What about the others? There are so many famous doctors in the imperial hospital who are known as 'gynecologists'. What about them? Go, call me, if you can't cure the queen, I will cut you off!" Emperor Liu bared his fangs, even though Imperial Physician Sun had served him for many years, he showed no mercy.

Sweeping his gaze, he noticed the bowed-headed Kunming palace people, and Emperor Liu roared again: "How do you serve the queen? If the queen has something to do, one of you counts as one, and you will never let it go!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the dormitory fell to their knees, except for Emperor Liu, there was no one standing, all pale and trembling.The old doctor Sun, with a mournful face, showed a hint of despair in his eyes. A national player like him naturally has a judgment on the queen's condition. The queen is in danger, and they are also in danger.
"Erlang." When the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost breathless, Empress Fu finally woke up and called weakly.
