King of Song

Chapter 542 Five Women in One Drama
It was dawn, but the hustle and bustle in the palace continued.

In Kunning Palace, Emperor Zhao Xu is still in a coma.

The Palace of Funing collapsed, and Zhao Xu was carried to the Queen's Palace of Kunning, where the imperial physician was giving emergency treatment.

The empress and many concubines had tears in their eyes, their eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts from crying, and they let out low sobbing sounds from time to time!The empress dowager Gao Taotao had seen the world after all, although she was worried about her son, she was very calm.But I couldn't bear the concubine's crying, and my heart became more and more depressed!

"The concubines go back to the palace, and only the queen is left here to take care of them!" Gao Taotao got annoyed, and sent them away with one sentence.

Although the concubines were reluctant, they had no choice but to leave in despair in front of the powerful mother-in-law.When he left, there were still tears on his face.The emperor is unconscious, how can they feel at ease?It's just that only they themselves know whether they are worried about the emperor or their own future.

Although Gao Taotao was calm on the surface, he was extremely worried in his heart. Anyway, the unconscious person on the couch was her own son!
"What did the imperial doctor say? Why hasn't Zhongzhen woke up yet?" Gao Taotao looked at Queen Xiang who was walking over, and asked in a deep voice.

Xiang Shi said in a low voice: "The imperial doctor said that the officials were overly frightened, furious and stagnant, so they haven't woken up yet!" Zhao Xu treats her with fair words and doesn't have much favor on weekdays. If it wasn't for the collapse of Funing Hall In addition to being ill and comatose, Zhao Xu hadn't entered her Kunning Palace for half a year.

However, she still loves her husband deeply, or under the tradition that husband guides wife, Zhao Xu has become her everything.When this man was lying unconscious on the bed, she felt very uncomfortable and was extremely worried!
Gao Taotao didn't care about so many children's love, she had to take care of the overall situation.It was her order to cancel the imperial meeting today, but she only said that the emperor was ill and unconscious, but she didn't mention a word.Spreading such words will only cause people's hearts to fluctuate and cause more rumors, so she temporarily blocked the news.

"Order the imperial physician to treat the official's family with all your strength!" Gao Taotao's exhortation had just finished speaking, when a series of footsteps came from the door.

The Empress Dowager Cao is here. Anyway, Zhao Xu is her nominal eldest grandson. After such a big event, she will naturally come to visit!At the same time, it is even more necessary to find out the truth. If something important happens, you must be present.

"How about Zhongzhen?"

"Still in a coma!"

"Is there a serious problem?" The worst outcome should be Zhao Xu's death, which is what Cao Shi is most worried about.It may be a good thing for Zhao Xu to die early, but it is definitely not a good thing to die today.After all, Lin Zhao's identity has not been made public, and preparations have not been made in all aspects, so there is no possibility of seizing the throne.

"It's still stable for the time being, but I don't know when I will wake up!" Gao Taotao was really worried, mother and child are connected, how could she not feel sorry for the eldest son?
"What do the imperial physicians do?" Old Madam Cao was a little angry, and the imperial physicians who accompanied her were trembling with fear.

The empress who had been silent all this time said to Xiang Shi: "Madam, Madam, I heard that Mrs. Minyan from the Weiyuan Houfu has superb medical skills, may I invite her to treat the officials?"

Although Gao Taotao didn't want to see Lin Zhao and Chai Minyan, but his son's illness was a top priority, and he seemed to be in a hurry to go to the doctor, but he didn't object, and turned to look at Cao to ask her opinion.

"Minyan's medical skills are really superb, but she is more than nine months pregnant, so I'm afraid it may be difficult for her to move!" Cao's heart aches for her daughter-in-law and grandson, so she is naturally reluctant.

Gao Taotao was unwilling to give up, and said: "Send a sedan chair to pick her up and carry her directly to Kunning Palace."

"It's just that, isn't Zhongzhen's condition known to everyone?" Cao asked back, and Gao Taotao was a little stunned immediately.

"I'm afraid it won't work!"

While hesitating, the ring pendant sounded softly, and Zhao Fukang and Zhao Baoan had come hand in hand. They were close relatives of the royal family, so they naturally knew the news and came to visit in time.

"what happened?"

With a hint of joy between his brows, Zhao Fukang said, "The Marquis of Weiyuan sent someone to the Qingshou Palace to report the news. Last night, Minyan suddenly heard the thunder and gave birth in shock."

"Give birth?" Cao Shi was a little excited, that was his serious eldest grandson!
"Yes, Chouzheng gave birth to a boy at the first moment!"

"Oh!" Although Cao tried her best to restrain herself, she couldn't hide her joy at the birth of her eldest grandson, and hurriedly asked, "Is Minyan okay?"

Zhao Fukang said: "It was a dystocia. The baby took several hours to land. Fortunately, the mother and child were safe in the end. It's just that Minyan is very weak now, and I'm afraid it's impossible to go to the palace to see a doctor for the official family."

"That's okay!" Cao Shi was excited, so it was needless to say.In comparison, the two "eldest grandsons" are naturally more important in Weiyuanhou's mansion.

There was a trace of displeasure in the eyes of Gao Taotao and Zhao Baoan. They didn't care about their grandson who was seriously ill and passed out. Why would they care about an insignificant niece?

"Zhong Zhen is like this, are you going to keep it a secret from the outside?" Cao Shi asked softly, she couldn't hide her joy just now, but her reason told her that this is in Kunning Palace, she must calm down.

"Otherwise, what should I do? I'm afraid there will be turmoil!" Gao Taotao was also somewhat helpless.

Cao said: "Should the chancellors know? What if... or Zhongzhen's illness lasts longer, it's not good!"

"This……"

"In addition to the imperial physician's diagnosis and treatment, necessary preparations must be made!" Cao's identity was there, so her words naturally had a certain majesty.And there is also some truth, the emperor is in a coma and ignores the government. This is problematic. Many accidents in ancient times happened at this time.

Gao Tao said: "Zhongzhen is still young, he has no crown prince, and he doesn't even have a son..." Although there are two concubines who are pregnant, they are still born after all, so naturally they are not considered.

"Why don't you let the second brother come into the palace, just in case!" Zhao Anbao shouldn't have said these words, but at the moment there are no outsiders, so it is okay to make a suggestion.

"This..." Gao Taotao's heart was moved. She had always loved her second son, Zhao Hao. If something happened to the eldest son, it would be best if the second son ascended the throne. She is still the rightful empress dowager.

"It's also an idea, just like Taizu Taizong's brother and brother, if it is not necessary, I invite all the prime ministers to come into the palace to take care of me!" Cao Shi nodded slightly, she did not object to this.In the current situation, it is Lin Zhao who she will support in the future.

"En!" Gao Taotao nodded slightly, and she would not object to this.

The only embarrassing thing is the Queen Xiangshi. If her husband's younger brother comes to the throne, what is he?Queen's wife?What an embarrassing identity!She still thought in her heart that her husband would wake up as soon as possible and be safe and sound.

Bing Xiang didn't notice that Zhao Xu's fingers moved slightly, and he vaguely heard the conversations of a few close relatives. Maybe he was too tired, or maybe the blow in his heart was getting heavier. Zhao Xu felt a slight pain in his heart. With a wry smile, he fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Fukang said: "Don't be so anxious, if Zhongming enters the palace, the prime minister will accompany him, outsiders may be able to see the clues!"

"That's right!" Gao Taotao had to be more cautious.

Zhao Baoan said in a low voice: "Okay, why did the lightning strike Funing Palace, do you want to ask someone from Si Tianjian to take a look?" It is reasonable to have such a thought when it comes to things involving celestial phenomena.

Mrs. Cao didn't know about the black dragon and many other things, but subconsciously said: "What else? It must have something to do with Wang Anshi, and it's all his fault!"

"Yes, if it wasn't for Wang Anshi, how could the government be in such a catastrophe." Zhao Fukang said: "I heard that a courtier wrote that as long as Wang Anshi is deposed, rain will fall from the sky within ten days. Outside the Xuande Gate. The officials stopped Wang Anshi's post, and it rained in just two days, so it can be seen..."

Zhao Fukang knew some inside information, and probably guessed that Zheng Xia's presentation of the picture might have been arranged by Lin Zhao, so he naturally wanted to help beat the side drums to smooth things over.

"Yes, Wang Anshi must be dealt with!" Gao Taotao has long been dissatisfied with Wang Anshi, and he was even more angry when he cried and failed last time.Now because he made his son look like this, can he feel at ease?I'm afraid he has the intention of killing Wang Anshi.

"The officials haven't woken up yet, and they are dealing with it now. The name is not right and the word is not right. I'm afraid that the emperor's wife will be suspected of being a harem meddler. It will be later!" Zhao Fukang made a pertinent suggestion, thus showing that his position is correct. .

Zhao Baoan said: "However, please let Si Tianjian take a look. If there are other problems, we should pay attention to them. If it is really because of Wang Anshi, let's see how many connections there are. There should be a basis for dealing with it. ?”

"What Bao'an said is true, why don't you let the people from Si Tianjian take a look!" Empress Xiang Shi was worried about her husband, so she naturally agreed.

"I see, Si Tianjian is just a group of wine bags and rice bags!" Zhao Fukang said: "If they are useful, they should have seen the clues of drought and lightning strikes. Why haven't they reported it? Ask them now, what can they do?" What's the result? In case of misreporting or delaying things, it will be troublesome!"

"Then what should I do? Astronomical matters, except for Si Tianjian..." Zhao Baoan was quite insistent on this matter.

Zhao Fukang said: "A few days ago, I heard that Mrs. Yue Guogong's wife mentioned that Master Shao Yong is now in Bianjing, temporarily staying at the residence of Sima Guangshi..."

"Shao Yong, Shao Yaofu?" Gao Taotao was naturally familiar with his name, and it could be said that he was familiar with it.

"That's right!" Zhao Fukang said: "Mr. Shao Yong's level should be far higher than those officials in Sitianjian who eat vegetarian food in the corpse!"

"Is it appropriate to invite Shao Yong, an outsider, into the palace?" Empress Xiang Shi was slightly hesitant.

"The official's condition is important!" Zhao Fukang said: "The incident of the lightning strike at Funing Palace cannot be concealed. The foreign ministers already know about it. Don't mention the official's condition, just let Shao Yong take a look at it. It's okay after all. Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

"Okay!" Gao Taotao was naturally not suspicious, nodded and said: "Let Di Yong go, and secretly invite Shao Yong into the palace."

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Fukang's mouth, and it passed by in a flash!
