Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Chapter 23
In the middle of the night, Mr. An was walking in front of the palace road, leading a burly man in armor. Their destination was Chong'an Hall, the emperor's bedroom.

This man in armor was none other than Cheng Engong Xie Mingtang, General Xie, who was urgently recalled to the palace by an imperial decree. This General Xie was the emperor's confidant, and he was also in charge of the Beijing camp.

A few days ago, an assassin was suddenly encountered in the palace, and the emperor issued an urgent call to summon him into the palace.When he was still on the road, he heard the news of An He's death again, and he felt even more uneasy.

As soon as he arrived in the capital this time, the emperor sent his closest relative, Eunuch An, to summon him into the palace in a hurry.

A group of people gradually walked into the brightly lit Chong'an Hall. The dim yellow lights shone brightly, reflecting on the bright yellow silk.

The old emperor had been waiting for Xie Mingtang's arrival in the study early in the morning.

"Commander of the Chenjing Camp, Xie Mingtang, pays homage to Your Majesty." Upon seeing the old emperor on the dragon chair, Xie Mingtang, who was already panicked, immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Get up..." The old emperor on the high chair was not energetic, he glanced at the kneeling general, and said slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Mingtang was wearing armor, and sat on a chair at the side under the sign of Eunuch An, waiting for the old emperor's inquiry.

"Mingtang...how many years have you been with me?" The old emperor asked suddenly.

Xie Mingtang straightened his face and said: "When His Majesty was not enthroned, he was the guard of the palace. Up to now, it has been 20 years..."

Fast-forward 20 years, the old emperor and Xie Mingtang both had regrets on their faces.

"20 years... my oldest child was just born at that time, and now he has already given birth to a prince..." the old emperor sighed.

Although Xie Mingtang didn't know the meaning of the old emperor's memories of the past, he still lowered his eyes and nodded with emotion.

"You should already know that none of my daughters are worry-free. An Le deliberately made things difficult for the court, and An He simply died, disregarding the safety of the court!" The old emperor seemed to have returned to the old days. scene, he was so angry that he hammered the table with his hands.

Xie Mingtang who was sitting in the seat was at a loss, he just entered Beijing, and most of the things were just hearsay.This made him dare not answer the words of the old emperor, but also dare not refute, just nodded repeatedly.

Seeing Xie Mingtang's well-behaved attitude, the old emperor nodded in satisfaction.

Doesn't he know that Xie Mingtang is not good at politics?

Didn't he know that the news of this 'veteran' was late?

No, the old emperor is very clear.It was precisely because it was so clear that when he saw Xie Mingtang nodding obediently, he was satisfied in his heart.

"Mingtang, there is something I need you to do for me..."

"Your Majesty's orders alone..." Xie Mingtang expressed his attitude immediately.He doesn't know anything else, but he is proficient in showing loyalty.

"A few days ago, there was an assassin in the palace who assassinated the crown prince. This person is the eunuch of Concubine Cheng's palace. You should already know by now..."

"Your Majesty just entered the palace, and I know about it at this time...Does Your Majesty want you to thoroughly investigate this case?" Xie Mingtang used his few small brains, after all, he is a true and loyal minister with His Majesty, not a capable minister. Minister, wise man.

"Do not……"

A stern look flashed in the old emperor's eyes, and he said fiercely:
"I really want you...

Kill Juan! "

……

At this time, a white silk had already been hung on Princess Anning's mansion.

Princess Anning is the eldest princess, the eldest daughter of the emperor, and the sister of Princess Anhe Jiang Yuaner.

After Princess Anhe committed suicide, she was rejected by the old emperor. Not only was she buried hastily, but even the mourning banner and white silk were never hung in the palace.The eldest princess was helpless, so she had to perform rituals for her younger sister Jiang Yuan'er in her own princess mansion, and invited some monks and Taoist priests.

But since the death of her younger sister, the eldest princess's health has not been as good as before, and she even caught a cold recently.

The eldest princess' son-in-law, Ji Tingfan, is the young grandson of Taifu Ji.After the old matriarch asked Ji Tingfan to marry him, he and the eldest princess respected each other as guests, and they were a loving couple.

"I'm going to invite a doctor, even if I don't invite the imperial physician in the palace, you still have to invite a doctor to have a look." Ji Tingfan in a black suit helped the eldest princess in a white dress into the bedroom.

Ji Tingfan's mouth kept chattering, they were also newlyweds, and it was the time of deep affection, the eldest princess frowned slightly after hearing this, and nodded with a smile: "Thank you Ji Lang."

Ji Tingfan's brows are full of worry, he is originally the noble son of the Duke's family, and he is also a lucky princess, so he could have lived his life carefree.But the recent situation has indeed touched his ability to perceive the situation in the court that he has learned by ear and eyes. Recently... a bit of a storm is about to come.

Ji Tingfan helped the eldest princess to the bedside, called the eldest princess's personal maid to wait on her, and sent someone to invite the doctor.

Ji Tingfan sat on the side of the bed by himself, held the hand of the weak eldest princess and said, "Don't be afraid, Chan'er, Ji Lang is here." Hearing Ji Tingfan's voice, the eldest princess nodded slightly, closed her eyes and squinted.

The eldest princess' boudoir name is: Jiang Mingchan.This name was not chosen by the current emperor, but the name given to this little granddaughter by the former emperor-Emperor Wu in his twilight years.

When the doctor invited by the servants arrived at the princess mansion, Jiang Mingchan had already fallen asleep drowsily, but even if she fell asleep, she never let go of the son-in-law's hand.

"Speak softly..." The doctor was holding a treasure chest in his hand, and was reminded by Prince Concubine Ji with a frown before he entered the door.These days, Ji Tingfan is watching Jiang Mingchan grieve and busy. Although he comforts him a lot, the death of his sister, who is a compatriot, is also blocking this grief.

The doctor walked into the bedroom cautiously, and first looked at Jiang Mingchan's sleeping face. Her complexion was pale, her eyes were already dark, and beads of sweat appeared on her head, but a swipe of it was cold sweat.

The doctor frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stretched out his hand to feel his pulse.

Ji Tingfan also knew that Jiang Mingchan's condition might not be good, so he fixed his eyes on the doctor who was taking his pulse.

After waiting for a while, almost half a stick of incense, the old doctor slowly put down the hand that took the pulse, Ji Tingfan couldn't see through his face whether the situation was good or bad, and said eagerly: "Doctor, my wife How's it going?"

The old doctor sat on a chair beside him, stroking his beard and smiling slightly: "It's all right, Madam is just grieving too much. But the old man has some good news."

"Good news?" Ji Tingfan was confused for a moment.

"Yes, Madam is probably pregnant... Congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master..."

Ji Tingfan was stunned for a while, his head went blank, and he repeated, "I'm pregnant...pregnant..."

After a while, Ji Tingfan showed joy on his face, and laughed loudly: "Madam is pregnant... I, Ji Tingfan, have a baby..."

Unable to restrain his joy, Ji Tingfan gave the old doctor twice as much money and sent the Fu Gong away.

"Ji Lang?" Jiang Mingchan slightly opened his eyes on the bed, as if he was woken up.Ji Tingfan hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and took Jiang Mingchan's hand, and said with a smile:

"Madam's happy event! It's a great happy event! We have a baby!"

Jiang Mingchan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he put his hands on his lower abdomen in disbelief: "I... I have a child? Ji Lang, I have a child with you!"

Ji Tingfan kept staring at Jiang Mingchan, seeing his always dignified wife's rare naive look, the corner of his mouth smiled even wider: "Well, Chan'er, this is a great thing."
