The Golden Hairpin

"Um..." the emperor pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Now that there is a lot of rumors in the capital, all kinds of rumors are extremely detrimental to you. I wonder if Wang Zongshi has any countermeasures?"

Li Shubai said: "The princes asked his ministers to hand over soldiers and horses such as Shenwu Shenwei to prevent the people from all over the world."

As soon as he said this, the emperor was speechless for a while, and the atmosphere of the scene became embarrassing.

Huang Zixian only felt a little sweat leaking out of her palms. She put her head on the wall of the carved partition and thought to herself that this matter was naturally the emperor’s instruction. Now Li Shubai defines this matter as Wang Zongshi’s advocacy. I wonder if the emperor will He revealed his true intentions at this time, and did Wang Kui already have a way to get out of his body today?

But then he thought again, why should he worry about someone like Li Shubai who is thoughtful and thoughtless.

Sure enough, the emperor was still haha ​​after all, saying: "You can discuss with Wang Zongshi for a few small things, and I won't bother for you."

"Thank you, the emperor." Li Shubai said, was silent for a moment, and then said, "The minister has now pushed back many major events in the court. Although he is relaxed, he still cares about the case of the seventh brother. After all, although Wang Zongshi is a close and important minister of the emperor. , Extremely reliable, but he has not previously served as a judicial department. Is it not appropriate for the emperor to let him be in charge of this case?"

"I know that if you talk about this kind of thing, Yang Chonggu, the little **** by your side, was really suitable." The emperor sighed, "But there is no way. After all, he is a person next to you, so he has to avoid suspicion. Besides, Dali Both the temple and Jing Zhaoyin are very related to you, and no courtier dared to recommend it; the Ministry of Criminal Affairs still wrote about Wang Lin, but although I could not deal with the matter with the queen clearly, he was already ready to return to his hometown; Yushitaina A group of old guys can only talk to each other, and they are already at a loss when encountering this kind of thing. I think about it, but there is no reliable candidate for the Korean Central Committee. I can only find a Wang Zongshi who does not have much contact with you. After all, he is an eunuch's minister. I also have the meaning that this matter is my family affair."

"It's so good, thank the emperor for bothering." Seeing that he explained so much, Li Shubai knew that he was not willing to change, so he stopped talking and changed the topic. NS?"

"It should be. Recently, I have been quite worried about this incident. I have a headache and did not bother." The emperor said, and sighed again. , Now the seventh brother... Hey, why did he find this short-sightedness, and why did he say such a shocking language before he died, hurting the fourth brother..."

Li Shubai said silently: "The minister thinks there must be an inside story about this, but he still doesn't know it yet."

"I believe that in time, this matter will surely come to light. I will not misunderstand you. I only hope that the world will also know the true heart of the fourth brother at that time."

Li Shubai looked down at the gold bricks on the ground, and could only say: "My minister, thank you, your majesty for your trust."

"It's just that, after all, I still have concerns in my heart. Fourth brother, now the Shenwei and Shenwu soldiers have guarded the capital for three years. They should be changed as usual. Back then, the soldiers in Xuzhou were stuck in homesickness and mutiny. Find someone to handle this matter properly?"

Turning around here, today's drama is finally staged. Huang Zixia, who was next door, also knew that the emperor called Li Shubai to come today, in fact, he wanted to talk about it. But the words have been chosen, even if Li Shubai resists, how can he refuse?

Huang Zixian involuntarily squeezed the carved partition, feeling that the sweat in her palm had become cold.

And Li Shubai's voice came over without hesitation: "Since your Majesty is for the sake of stability in the world, dare you not follow your orders?"

The emperor's suppressed voice suddenly rose a little, revealing an uncontrollable excitement: "Fourth brother, did you agree?"

"Yes, what your majesty said, the minister would naturally dare not obey." Li Shubai got up and saluted the emperor, "but the minister has a relentless request."

"Fourth brother, don't hesitate to say it." The emperor stood up when he saw him bend down to salute, and raised his hand to signal him to exempt him.

Li Shubai looked up at him and said: "The Shenwu army and others were rebuilt by the emperor’s orders, and now only the emperor’s order is needed to change the generals. However, he has been assassinated twice in the land of Shu, although he was in Beijing, but I also feel that the tiger is standing by, unable to act rashly. I also ask your majesty to postpone this matter for a few months, and the minister will comfort the soldiers. When everything is calm and calm, you can dispatch again. What does your majesty think?"

The emperor's face changed slightly, as he was about to say something, suddenly he did evil in his chest, and the body that had stood up suddenly fell into a seat.

Li Shubai reacted extremely quickly. Seeing that he was about to fall out of the chair, he strode up to support him. The emperor's breathing was rapid, his body was trembling, and his face was pale, cold sweat appeared from his forehead as he watched.

Xu Fenghan, who was standing by, hurried up, took out a pill from the drawer beside it, melted it with tea, and waited for the emperor to drink it.

When the emperor held his head and leaned on the chair to calmly panting, Li Shubai frowned slightly and asked Xu Fenghan in a low voice, "How come your majesty's head disease is worse than before?"

Xu Fenghan lowered his head and sighed, and said: "The imperial doctors are watching carefully. I don't know how many famous folk doctors have been found outside, but they have not found a rejuvenating hand."

Li Shubai asked: "Are the attacks frequent now? How often?"

Before Xu Fenghan had time to answer, the emperor had already said: "It's helpless, it's an old problem. This disease...Emperor Wei Wu also had it at the beginning. Even though he is talented and broad, with both civil and military skills, and the world is great...Who can help him cure it?"

Li Shubai's voice trembled when he saw his pain, but he couldn't help but endure it. He couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty can cherish it without authorization. The minister thinks that the world is great. There should always be Hua Tuo's masters and rejuvenation techniques. As long as the emperor orders them to go down, let the state governments look for specialties. A doctor with a head ailment will be able to find the right prescription if he comes to Beijing for consultation."

The emperor held his head and groaned. After a long time, he said intermittently: "No matter, you go first."

Huang Zixia looked back at Queen Wang, only to see that she was still lying motionless on the couch, only squinting her eyes to look out of your window, her expression was extremely calm, she didn't know what she was thinking. When Li Shubai retreated, the Queen Wang stood up, walked staggeringly to the emperor's side, hugged him, and wailed in tears, "Your Majesty, is it better?"

The emperor held her hand and gritted his teeth to endure, but big beads of sweat still rolled down from his forehead. The Queen embraced him, stroking his cheek and cried out, "Your Majesty, bear with me... What's the use of these useless imperial doctors to raise them!"

Huang Zixia saw what the Queen said, and handed her palm to the emperor's mouth, crying and said: "Your Majesty can't bite your tongue, you can bite the hand of your concubine first!"

Next to him, Xu Fenghan quickly pulled her away and said, "His Royal Highness is the body of ten thousand gold, how can it be injured? It doesn't matter who bites the slave and maid..."

Huang Zixian stood quietly beside her, looking at the tears on Queen Wang's face, she was amazed.

The medicine the emperor took seemed to have an effect. Although she was still holding onto the Queen's hand, her breathing had gradually subsided. The emperor and Xu Fenghan had already lifted the emperor up, giving him an extra brocade.

The emperor realized that when he was out of control, the nails had pinched the hand of the king and queen very tightly, but she had been holding back silently. He sighed, holding her hand in both hands, turning his eyes to Huang Zixian to recognize it for a long time, and then asked: "The person behind the queen...doesn't he look like them?"

Huang Zixian hurriedly saluted, and Queen Wang calmly said: "It's a new little palace lady from the outside, I'll take it by my side to get familiar with it."

"Oh." The emperor didn't ask any more, closing his eyes.

Xu Fenghan asked carefully: "Can the emperor go back to the inner hall to rest?"

He nodded and patted his leg lightly. Xu Fenghan understood, and quickly came up to support him, and moved to the back hall. Although Xu Fenghan was tall and tall, the emperor was plump, and it was difficult for him to support it alone. Queen Wang hurriedly went and took a hand, and sent him to the apse.

Huang Zixia only felt that a slight cold sweat was leaking out of her back.

She finally understood the purpose of Queen Wang for asking her to come over today.

The emperor’s head illness was already very serious. Not only was her eyesight impaired, she could no longer recognize people who were not familiar with her, but it was also very difficult to even walk. Only Xu Fenghan and Queen Wang were aware of the fact that they were still hiding the eyeliner inside and outside the palace.

And - the reason why he kept it secret was naturally because he still had something to accomplish. Now that the prince is young, once the emperor is seriously ill, the transfer of imperial power is naturally in danger. In the eyes of the emperor, who would be the most threatening to this throne?

The Queen King had already come out of the apse and said to her: "Call all the palace people who are waiting for the emperor to come in, the emperor is resting."

Huang Zixian responded and walked quickly to the door of the temple, and notified all the palace ladies and eunuchs who were standing outside to come in. The rain and snow continued outside, and the cold wind entered her clothes, and her wet sweat suddenly penetrated into her skin, causing her to fight involuntarily.
