The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1078 I suddenly miss the third child

"Father! Is your body better? This time, I frightened my son."

Seeing that the emperor looked very tired and his face was even older than before, the prince suddenly felt distressed.In just these two days, he felt that his father's spirit and complexion were not as good as before.

Hearing this, the emperor shifted his gaze to the prince.He looked at the prince with a somewhat complicated expression, there were too many inexplicable emotions in his old eyes, which made the prince's hand holding the emperor loose involuntarily.

"Dun'er! Father is old." The emperor's aged voice sounded slowly, and his breath was a little panting when he spoke. Compared with the full of breath before, the emperor at this moment looks weak, helpless, and pitiful.

The prince couldn't help feeling sour, the father is really old.In the past, he only thought that his father handled the government affairs with vigorous and resolute methods, which made him think that his father could still protect the Dayan River and Mountains for many years.

Now that his father suddenly fell down, he suddenly realized that his father's body was not as good as before.

Compared with always being slightly ill before, this time seems to be much more serious than before.

"Father, don't think too much, you are already old? The imperial doctor said that you are overthinking, as long as you relax your mind, your body will definitely get better."

Where does the prince dare to say that the emperor is because of his old age?What can these doctors see?It is only said that the father is old, mentally weak, and physically damaged.

He knew that these imperial doctors were afraid of taking responsibility, so they would only use these words to prevaricate him.

He stayed in the outer hall for two hours, during which the envoy Zhang reported to him, saying that the emperor fainted due to excessive worry.

However, he hesitated to speak later, as if he had something to say.

The prince then thought of the Taoist priest Tianji, and the envoy Zhang and the Taoist priest Tianji had always been at odds.This time the father fainted, the prince could guess what Zhang Yuanshi would say.

He also believes that there is no elixir of life in this world, but his father is deeply in the mud, and he is convinced of this matter.

The national treasury is not rich, and the private treasury of the father is also very tight. Every year, a lot of money is lost because Taoist Tianji wants to develop the elixir.

But can these elixirs really achieve the medicinal effects that Daoist Tianji said?He admitted that those small red pills before did have some medicinal effects, but there are so many natural treasures added here, it would be strange if there is no effect.

Besides, he thinks that there seems to be something indescribable added to the little Huan Dan, otherwise why would the father's health go from bad to worse in the past two years?

Don't say it's because of old age, there are so many old people in this world who are older than the emperor, why are others so energetic?

It's a pity that he managed to get the dregs of the medicine made by Taoist Tianji, but Gu Chengyu went to Jiangnan instead.

He had no choice but to hand over the dregs of the medicine to Zhang Yuanshi and a well-known doctor among the people. It has been a long time, and the two of them did not say anything about it.

If Gu Chengyu was here, it might be possible to find out what's wrong with the medicine dregs.

"Dun'er, your father knows about your father's body. My father has no energy to deal with the affairs of the court these days. My father just thought about it, and you should take over the country temporarily for my father."

The emperor cast his eyes on the prince who was kneeling in front of him. His eyes, which were originally dull, were shining brightly at this moment.

He stared at the prince's face closely, not letting go of any subtle expression on the other's face.

When the prince heard this, he was not very happy.Father's body is not yet in good health, he is only a temporary substitute now.

However, his interim role can easily stir up troubles. He is still only the crown prince, and his deterrence is not enough. Can these courtiers be obedient?

What's more, there are a lot of disputes in the court nowadays, whether it is the disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River, the emptiness of the treasury, the deduction of borders in Daxing, etc., these are all difficult matters.

Although he is a prince, he will always have to deal with the government affairs in the future, so trying to make up his own mind now can be regarded as an experience in advance.

But he only has the obligation to deal with things, but he has no such right, which is really frustrating.

He didn't believe that his father would hand over all the power to him now, how could his father be relieved?
I have to deal with matters in the future, and I have to come to ask my father for instructions. Isn't this just like a puppet?
It was a thankless job, and it left the courtiers with the illusion of his incompetence.

"Father, my son has no idea! My son has never dealt with government affairs alone, and I am a little worried. I am afraid that my father will have to worry about it."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and finally felt relieved, the prince's humble attitude made the emperor very satisfied.

No matter what the prince's feelings were, at least he didn't show such impatience on the surface.

"Dun'er, you have already passed the age of standing. As a prince, it will be a matter of time before the army supervises the country. Father is old, how long can I stay with you? While father is still awake, he can still make decisions for you , You practice hard. I don’t know when, the father will suddenly go, if you don’t learn to handle the government affairs alone, then the court will be in chaos.”

The emperor looked at the prince softly, and he patted the prince's hand, his eyes were full of kindness.

"Your Majesty! Don't think about it too much. The imperial doctor said just now that you are thinking too much. Take a good rest these few days and don't worry about it. Your body will recover in a few days."

De'an couldn't see the emperor losing his energy, he wiped the corners of his eyes with a veil, his eyes were full of worry.

"Boss Chen is right! Father, you will live a long life! Father, don't think too much, it is only reasonable to take care of yourself now."

The prince's eyes gradually became moist, he held the emperor's hand tightly, his voice was already a little choked up.

The emperor saw that the prince's eyes were full of admiration, but in his heart he was comforted by the old consolation.

Maybe he didn't choose the wrong prince.The prince is kind-hearted, although he is not decisive enough in dealing with things and his talent is not as good as that of the boss, but he is safe anyway.

"Dun'er, your third brother. Don't blame him. He has converted to Buddhism now, and he doesn't care about worldly affairs anymore. In the future, if you take care of him and take care of his heirs, his dedication to the royal family is not in vain."

When he fainted this time, the emperor felt that his body had reached the point of exhaustion, but he still had a lot of things that he couldn't let go of.

The third child didn't go to the fief, but became a monk, which made him feel worried all the time.

Although the third child doesn't like him, he is still his son after all.As he gets old, his heart becomes softer, and he suddenly misses his third child.

"Father, although the third younger brother has lived a bit of poverty in Baoen Temple, his temper has been greatly improved compared to before. My ministers often go to see him in the temple. Now he is very experienced in teaching scriptures and Dharma, and he is no longer like before. That's so surly. Father, don't worry, after all, the youngest is a child of the royal family, and also Erchen's younger brother, how could Erchen ignore him?"
