Zhao Ming slowly walked out of Funing Palace. This trip to Funing Palace had a huge impact on him.
The situation facing Bianjing was so bad, and the power of the Ding family in the DPRK was so great that the prime minister who had been fighting for many years was actually one of their own.
Each of these things was enough for him to think about it for a long time.
Zhao Ming has known since he was a child that he has no extraordinary talent, and can even be said to be a bit mediocre. However, since he succeeded to the throne, he has been working hard to learn how to be a good prince.
But the drastic changes in the situation over the years have left him at a loss time and time again.
Sometimes he doubted whether he was suitable for this position.
If eldest brother is still here...
"well……"
…
Prime Minister's Office.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Wuwuwu..."
In Zhang He's bedroom, Zhang He, who used to be energetic in the past, was lying on the bed unconsciously with a pale face.
An old doctor with white hair and beard was checking his pulse. Next to him, Zhang He's granddaughter Zhang Yuyan was crying like a child, looking at his grandfather on the sick bed with a worried look on his face.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Doctor Wen, how is my grandfather? Is he going to be okay? Please speak! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Seeing the old doctor checking his pulse and saying nothing for a long time, Zhang Yuyan's heart felt as if it was hanging in the air, full of fear.
"well……"
After hearing this, Dr. Wen, who had white hair and beard, finally let go of his hands that had been checking the pulse, but his sigh made everyone in the room feel excited.
After Imperial Doctor Wen looked around at everyone, he leaned into Zhang Yuyan's ear and whispered softly.
Others could only vaguely hear that there was too much blood loss and that there was no way to save the life. In short, their hearts were beating with fear.
As the person involved, the expression on Zhang Yuyan's face froze on the spot.
In the eyes of everyone, it was obvious that he was hit by the bad news and didn't know what to do.
After a long time, Dr. Wen sat back, stood up, packed his things, and said to Zhang Yuyan: "Miss Zhang, just try your best to feed the Prime Minister something good. As for the rest... ugh..."
After saying that, he took the medicine box and left without waiting for anyone to stop him.
In the eyes of everyone, it was obvious that there was no way to save him. Doctor Wen simply gave up rescuing him. As for letting the prime minister eat something good, wouldn't a person need to eat something good before he dies?
After all, it will be too late if you don’t eat, and you won’t have to eat.
After Imperial Physician Wen left, the surrounding relatives from the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately came together, and at first they began to care about Zhang Yuyan and comfort him.
But later on, he began to inquire about the family property of the Prime Minister's Mansion, both overtly and covertly.
What's more, he suddenly started to say that he had a distant nephew, and he thought it would be nice to have a distant nephew.
Zhang Yuyan was so smart, how could she not understand that they had clearly determined that her grandfather would die and were planning to carve up the Prime Minister's Mansion.
These relatives of monsters and monsters usually treated her with respect, but now that her grandfather was acting like this, they straightened their backs and dared to covet the prime minister's property, which immediately made Zhang Yuyan angry.
Standing up with a cold face, he looked at the group of Zhang family relatives who all had greedy eyes and shouted: "Come here!"
Swish, brush, brush!
A group of servants with sticks rushed in outside the room.
Zhang Yuyan coldly ordered: "Kick them all out. They are not allowed to enter the prime minister's house without my or grandpa's order!"
"Yes, miss!"
A group of servants immediately rushed over fiercely, trying to pull these people out!
Suddenly someone shouted: "Yu Yan, what are you doing? I am your second aunt! How could you do this to me?"
"Yu Yan, I am your cousin. Why are you like this? My cousin just sees that you are going to be helpless and wants to introduce you to a good family. How can you do this to your cousin?"
"That's right, Zhang Yuyan, don't be ignorant. You are a woman and you will get married eventually. This Zhang family's property belongs to the Zhang family and you cannot be allowed to take it away!"
"Oh, oh, oh! Let go! Let go! I gave birth to a boy for the Zhang family. My family's share of the Zhang family's property must be shared! You servants, hurry up and let me go!"
Seeing that Zhang Yuyan was about to evict her, these relatives could no longer suppress their greed and simply broke up with each other. The one who said that he had given birth to a son in the Zhang family wanted to divide the family property was even more outrageous. He was Zhang He's father. She is the daughter-in-law of a brother's son. She is so far apart from Zhang Yuyan and her family that she actually has the nerve to divide the family property.
Others are making all sorts of noises. In the face of a huge family fortune, the ugly faces of people are clearly displayed!
Zhang Yuyan felt extremely disgusted as she listened to their filthy words and all kinds of ugly words!
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily:
"Why, you are eating the food of my Zhang family but you don't take my words seriously, right? Isn't it clear whose monthly salary you are getting and the food you are eating?
Why don't you drag them out! "
Zhang Yuyan's angry shout immediately woke up the servants who had been hesitant just now. Regardless of the struggles of these relatives of the Zhang family, she forcibly dragged them out of the house!
Of course, it was impossible for these relatives to just take him out like this, and they were struggling desperately, but they were no match for these strong servants, and they were quickly dragged out while yelling and scolding!
After the room became quiet, Zhang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief. After driving all the servants out, she closed the door with a bang.
And the moment the door closed, a voice suddenly rang.
"Yan'er, thank you for your hard work!"
"Grandpa! Wuwuwuwu..."
Zhang Yuyan was stunned for a moment, but she quickly turned around and threw herself into the old man's arms and cried bitterly.
"Yan'er... Yan'er... Yan'er thought you would never wake up again! Wuwuwuwu..."
Zhang Yuyan kept crying, and Zhang He gently patted his granddaughter's back with his hand, smiled and comforted him: "Hahaha, don't worry, dear granddaughter, Yaner, you are not married yet, how could grandpa leave you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuyan, who had been crawling in Zhang He's arms just now, suddenly stopped and stood up from his arms angrily.
Zhang He smiled and slowly got up and got out of bed.
Zhang Yuyan hurriedly supported her and asked while holding her:
"Grandpa, what's going on? It's obvious that you were assassinated not long ago and have been in a coma for three whole days! If it hadn't been for Dr. Wen who told me just now that you were just faking it, you were just a little weak in energy and blood and needed to eat something good. Make up for it, otherwise I wouldn’t even know you’ve been pretending to be sick!”
Zhang He smiled and stood up carefully. After lying on the bed for three days, he was really not used to it.
After moving for two steps, he explained: "Grandpa was indeed assassinated three days ago, but with the protection of the palace's priests, he was not seriously injured. However, in order to fish, he still pretended to be seriously injured on His Majesty's orders.
By the way, how was the situation in the court these two days? Has anything changed? "
After hearing this, Zhang Yuyan hurriedly told Zhang He about the changes during this period.
Zhang He couldn't help but sigh after hearing this:
"As expected! The Ding family can grow to that extent. It should not be underestimated. They are so quiet. I didn't expect that there are actually people from them in the court! There are quite a few of them!"
Zhang Yuyan suddenly became confused.
Zhang He then told him the situation just like Zhao Duan and the prince did.
After hearing this, Zhang Yuyan suddenly became uneasy and said: "Grandpa, since you know they are members of the Ding family, why don't you capture them and let them continue to dance in the court? What if there is an accident?"
Zhang He sighed and said leisurely: "Those who jump out are easy to deal with, but those who don't jump out are the real danger!"
