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

Chapter 1328

If he really took his pills, it would only last for another half a year at most.One year later, without an antidote, the emperor will undoubtedly die.Moreover, the poison has already worn down the emperor's body, even if there is an antidote, the emperor will have no effect.

Gu Chengyu took out a small jade bottle from his sleeve, "There are only two left. This medicine can only delay the spread of the poison in the emperor's body, but the effect is not great. It can only last half a year at most."

He handed the medicine to Court Envoy Zhang, "Please trouble Envoy Zhang to identify it carefully, please ask someone to test the medicine!"

Envoy Zhang was a little excited, he quickly took the medicine bottle and uncorked it.As soon as the cork was pulled out, he could smell a faint medicinal fragrance.Just smelling it, he felt refreshed and refreshed.

"There is no need to test the medicine, give it to the emperor!" the queen mother said suddenly.

Court Envoy Zhang was a little hesitant. Although he didn't see anything wrong with the medicine, it didn't mean the medicine was okay.Just looking at it a few times, you can't tell whether the medicine is poisonous.If something unexpected happened to the emperor taking this medicine, wouldn't he also be implicated?
"Is there any worse situation than now? There are only two pills, and there will be one less pill for the trial. Let's save it for the emperor to take!"

The queen mother felt that there was no need for Gu Chengyu to do this. Anyway, the emperor's lifespan was running out, and Gu Chengyu didn't have to do it anymore, so this worry was unnecessary.

"Yes!" Envoy Zhang stepped forward and opened the emperor's mouth, and stuffed one of them into the emperor's mouth.

"After taking this medicine, the emperor will definitely be able to wake up within half an hour." Gu Chengyu has confidence in this medicine, which is made from low-level elixir in space.

It's a pity that inferiority is inferiority after all, and it is not omnipotent.What's more, those like the emperor who have already penetrated into the bone marrow and invaded the internal organs can only delay for a while!
"Is this pill effective for blindness?" The queen mother suddenly thought of her eldest grandson who was blind. There is only one left here. If it can cure Brother Ye's blindness, she can only choose to cure Brother Ye.

After all, this pill can only extend Dun'er's life for half a year, but for Dun'er who is blind, it may be a kind of hope.

"The first prince's blindness was caused by the congestion in his brain. This medicine may be useful, but I can't be sure. Moreover, the first prince is too young, and the medicine is very strong. I'm afraid that the first prince will not be able to take it. Therefore, Wei Chen suggests that you divide this medicine into multiple doses and give it to the First Prince gradually. By moistening things and silently, the blood stasis in the First Prince's mind will be slowly melted away."

"Of course! I can't guarantee the efficacy of the medicine. This medicine is just a coincidence. I believe the queen mother has heard that the medicinal materials for refining this medicine are very rare. Even if there is a prescription, it may not be possible to find it. Find the medicinal materials it needs. These two are really rare items. However, if this medicine is taken by the eldest prince, the emperor will lose one."

It is impossible for Gu Chengyu to take out all the pills in the space, otherwise he will cause trouble for himself.

"Cough! Cough! Here, give it to brother Ye!" The emperor slowly opened his eyes, and just after hearing this, he made a choice without hesitation.

His broken body is already dying.Even if he prolongs his life by a year or a half, so what?If brother Ye can't recover, then the dynasty will really have no successors.Which is more important, he can naturally tell.

"Dun'er!" The queen mother threw herself on the emperor's couch and sobbed. Did she really want the white-haired man to send the black-haired man?
"Your Majesty shouldn't be too excited, let alone work hard, please take care of the dragon's body!" Gu Chengyu took a few steps back and saluted.

The emperor looked sideways at Gu Chengyu, "I know not to work too hard, but I have to decide everything in the court, how can I be free?"

He closed his eyes slightly, sighed deeply, and said after a while: "Gu Aiqing!"

"Chen is here!"

"I entitle you to be a scholar of the East Pavilion, and you will be included in the cabinet for discussion. I will take care of myself these few days and stop worrying about state affairs. The cabinet has no leader and assistant, and the dragons have no leader. I will temporarily entrust the cabinet to you for a few days."

"Thank you, Lord Long En!" Gu Chengyu knelt down and kowtowed, he finally joined the cabinet.

"Empress Mother, the cabinet is guarded by Gu Aiqing, I am very relieved. But he is only a courtier after all, I would like to ask Gu Aiqing to assist Empress Mother in sorting out state affairs."

The emperor turned his attention to the queen mother in front of the couch. Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, it is considered a special situation now, and he has no choice.

In fact, he was relieved to hand over the memorial to Gu Chengyu for review. He believed that Gu Chengyu could handle state affairs for him.But Gu Chengyu is only a courtier after all, if he is allowed to handle the memorial with full authority, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public.

"Emperor, the court must be dissatisfied with Ai's family's involvement in politics." The queen mother was taken aback for a moment, she did not expect Dun'er to actually let her intervene in state affairs.

"It doesn't matter! What are these people doing? Apart from clamoring and using etiquette to suppress me, what else can they do? Empress Dowager, don't worry, I'm here!" The emperor patted the Empress Dowager's hands and comforted him softly.

"Pang Chu, officials from the Imperial Academy have come to draft an order! It is announced that I am not feeling well and will have to rest for a few days. The state affairs will be represented by my mother and Gu Aiqing for the time being."

"Yes!"

The next day, all the ministers waited for the emperor's morning court in the cold wind.

"My lords, the emperor announced today that he will not be in the morning court!" Pang Chu looked at the time and saw that it was almost time for everyone to come, so he stepped forward and announced.

Not going to court?Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, the emperor had not made a statement before.

"But the emperor has a decree to announce!" Pang Chu could already predict that once the imperial decree was announced, the Hall of Supreme Harmony would explode.

Gu Chengyu lowered his eyes, he was already prepared, he must be the first to be bombarded by these people.

"What? The emperor actually asked Gu Siqing and the empress dowager to represent the state affairs? It's simply ridiculous!" Compared with this important news, everyone ignored the matter of Gu Chengyu's entry into the cabinet.

"Yes! How can the harem be involved in politics? What's more, Gu Siqing is only a third-rank official and has just been promoted to the cabinet. How can he exercise the power of the cabinet chief and assistant? This official thinks it is extremely inappropriate."

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, every word you said, everyone stared at Gu Chengyu as if they wanted to eat him.How could Gu Chengyu, who has only been in the officialdom for two years, be able to act as chief assistant?

Those of them who are older than him and of a higher rank still obey this person?
The cabinet has too much power, and their memorials must be passed through the cabinet.If Gu Chengyu is the prime minister for cabinet affairs, where will they have room to speak in the future?

Now that Xia Qing and Shen Shikang who restrained Gu Chengyu are gone, who else can stop Gu Chengyu?From now on, this court has become Gu Chengyu's monologue.

"Gu Siqing, I want to ask you, do you think you are competent?" Zuo Du Yushi Deng Chenghong frowned and looked at Gu Chengyu. He just saw Gu Chengyu's eyes and nose, nose and heart, and turned a deaf ear to their angry attitude.As if an old monk had entered into a samadhi, he was calm and relaxed, which made him a little annoyed.
