Emperor Nan Xiao stared at him: "Liu Qing, I respect you as a veteran of two dynasties, one of the three princes, the pillar of the country, and the leader of the dynasty. I have always been courteous to you. Unexpectedly, you don't know what I mean. You are talking arrogantly and trying to slander the eldest princess with witchcraft and sorcery. Do you still think of me as the emperor?"

Doctor Liu knelt down and said, "I have no clue. However, the eldest princess has a precious body. I will die to advise you. Please allow your majesty to allow the imperial doctor to verify whether the eldest princess has taken the elixir."

The eldest princess really took the elixir, and the erysipelas accumulated in her body. Once the imperial doctor diagnosed her, she would diagnose the symptoms, and it would be difficult to deceive her in public.

The whole hall was in an uproar.

Even Wen Yiqian and others couldn't help but turn pale with shock. After thinking about it for a moment, they realized that Dr. Liu was not really forcing His Majesty to allow Dr. Yu to verify whether the eldest princess had really taken the pills, but that he wanted to use his own life to prevent it. Your Majesty wants to use gold, stone and elixir to harm the eldest princess
"Presumptuous!" Emperor Nan Xiao was furious, "Stop talking nonsense and threatening death at every turn. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

"I know that I have committed an unforgivable crime by bumping into Your Majesty, so I will die to apologize to Your Majesty." Under Emperor Nan Xiao's cold eyes, Doctor Liu stood up, lowered his head, straightened his clothes, and slammed into the pillars of the hall.

"Doctor Liu, no!"

"Hold him."

"Doctor Liu, please tell me if you have something to say."

"..."

There was chaos in the main hall.

Doctor Liu hit the pillar, but was pulled by Huang Jingzhou behind him. His forehead was broken and blood seeped out from the wound.

Emperor Nan Xiao couldn't help being startled. Suddenly, he stood up from the dragon chair, his face extremely gloomy.

As one of the three princes, Doctor Liu's status was second only to the Prime Minister of the dynasty. However, the late emperor reused the Yushitai and gave the Yushitai many privileges. One of them was the right to supervise all officials and affairs. Within the six ministries, almost no one could surpass him. Yushitai.

The selection of talents by the Ministry of Personnel needs to go through the Yushitai to verify their character. The construction of water conservancy and other fortifications in the Ministry of Works needs the supervision of the Yushitai to prevent officials from enriching their own pockets. Various cases in the Criminal Department also need to be verified by the Yushitai... ...If there is anything wrong, let the Yushitai catch you, and the Yushitai can impeach you until your reputation is ruined.

As the king of a country, Emperor Nan Xiao would be threatened by a minister?

He can!

Doctor Liu’s disciples are all over the court, and he is also Taifu Meng’s favorite disciple. If something happens to Doctor Liu, at least half of the people in the court will be dissatisfied with him. With the eldest princess’s party, he will have to fight with the court. Most of the court officials are enemies.

He had only been on the throne for one day.

At this time, a chamberlain hurriedly ran into the Tai Chi Hall, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Meng is here. He has just entered the Meridian Gate."

There was another uproar throughout the whole court.

"Meng Gong is here?"

"Why did Duke Meng suddenly enter the palace?"

"Since Mr. Meng left the capital, he has not been to the capital for several years."

"..."

Emperor Nan Xiao was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he realized that Duke Meng was Taifu Meng, the late emperor's mentor.

He actually entered the palace!

Is this another backup plan left by the late emperor? !

The imperial chamberlain on the side quickly reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Duke Meng is the leader of literati in the world. His disciples and former officials are all over the court, and he is known as a semi-saint. You should be courteous to the virtuous corporal and go to greet him in person to show your respect. "

For a saint, his words and deeds are enough to influence the court.Emperor Nan Xiao's face darkened, and he quickly led the civil and military officials to greet him.

At the 39th step, a chamberlain was carefully supporting an old man who was over seventy years old, and several chamberlains were leading the way. When the guards in front of the palace saw the old man, they sheathed their swords and bowed their heads in respect.

Meng Gong is dressed in straight indigo, his gray hair is fixed with a wooden hairpin, his face is old and decrepit, but his back is straight and his spirit is good.

Emperor Nan Xiao led the ministers and hurried down the steps. He saw at a glance that the chamberlain beside Duke Meng was holding a long box with a dragon pattern, and his heart skipped a beat.

He calmed down and greeted Duke Meng with a smile: "I don't know if you are neglecting me when you are here."

"Your Majesty, your words are serious." Meng Gong said politely, pretending to bow.

How could Emperor Nan Xiao dare to accept this gift? He quickly stepped forward, bent down, and held Meng Gong's hand.

Meng Gong did not force himself, and his turbid eyes looked at the courtiers behind him one by one, and landed on Dr. Liu, whose forehead was red, swollen and still bleeding: "You kid, you still have this bad temper after so many years. You are always going to touch the pillars and give advice to death." , Since ancient times, warriors fought to the death, and writers died to advise, but there is only one life. The late emperor was kind, so he tolerated you for many years. Now, it is time for you to change your temper, so as not to be jealous of the emperor and his ministers."

It seemed to be an exhortation, but it was also a warning to him. As an emperor and a courtier, he should act with caution.

Doctor Liu pushed away Huang Jingzhou who was supporting him, staggered to his feet, and bowed down: "It's the student who is incompetent. He deserves to be taught by the teacher for many years. He is not as experienced as the teacher. Only with this strong body and this life, can he give up and resist." .”

Meng Gong smiled and nodded: "You are fine."

Doctor Liu couldn't help but burst into tears. He had been working hard for half his life, not daring to slack off at all, just to get a word of approval from his mentor.

Meng Gong turned to look at Emperor Nan Xiao and said slowly: "Doctor Liu is seriously injured. Your Majesty, can you give me a favor and invite an imperial doctor to come and take a look?"

The place was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. Emperor Nan Xiao said hurriedly: "This is my negligence."

Then he quickly called the chamberlain and went to ask for the imperial doctor.

Meng Gong squinted his eyes, looked around, and asked: "Why don't you see the eldest princess? I have been away from the capital for a long time, and I haven't seen her for many years. I still remember that when I first met her, she told me that she would never be here again in this life." As Lu Wu, I only asked for orders from the people and worked for the good of the country. Even now, every time I think about it, I can't help but sigh with emotion. The eldest princess must do what she says and her deeds must bear fruit. She is a blessing to the people and a blessing to the country."

When the courtiers heard this, they knew that he came to the palace this time for the sake of the eldest princess, and they all had different expressions.

Emperor Nan Xiao sweated on his forehead and hurriedly explained: "The eldest princess is seriously ill and is recuperating in the palace. I will send someone to summon her immediately."

Meng Gong nodded and said nothing more.

The atmosphere couldn't help but be silent.

Gu Liang said hurriedly: "Meng Gong came to Beijing this time. He must have something to discuss with His Majesty, so I invited Meng Gong to come to the palace to discuss it in detail."

The courtiers enthusiastically said yes.

Seeing these courtiers, who were not even paying attention to him, being submissive to Meng Gong, fearing that they were neglecting him in the slightest, Emperor Nan Xiao felt angry.

The group of people moved into the palace, where the servants had already set up tables and chairs and prepared tea.

After finishing the cup of tea, Meng Gong still had no intention of speaking. Emperor Nan Xiao glanced at his father-in-law, the Minister of Rites.

The gifts after the title are certain, and the appropriate rewards from the abbot should also be put on the agenda.

Taifu Meng, who has always lived in legend, finally appeared~
