When the prince saw Emperor Chen getting angry, he was so frightened that he stood up and ran away, shouting: "Father, you asked me first, not what I wanted to say!"
"You dare to take another step! I will have your legs broken!" Emperor Chen shouted.
The prince also shouted: "If I didn't run, my leg would be broken now!"
The two of them chased and escaped, circling in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart. Emperor Chen took two steps and suddenly felt dizzy and unsteady. He tried to reach out to hold the wall, but failed and fell down.
The prince was still running in circles desperately. Although he was afraid, he was not very afraid. After all, his mother was behind him, and the teacher also said: "Shun served his father, a small stick will lead to success, and a big stick will lead to punishment." It’s not unfilial to leave.”
However, after Emperor Chen fell to the ground, the prince was startled and immediately turned back and helped Emperor Chen up from the ground: "Father! Father!"
Xiao Fuzi, who was standing next to the pigeon cage, was originally afraid that the emperor would punish the prince and bring disaster to the pond, but he did not expect such a state to occur. He was so frightened that he did not know what to do.
The prince pointed at Xiao Fuzi and shouted: "Go and call the imperial doctor!"
Soon, the doctors from the medical bureau came to the Yangxin Hall one after another. Emperor Chen's symptoms were very obvious, that is, a stroke.
If the symptoms are just a crooked mouth and eyes, drooling at the corners of the mouth, slurred speech, hemiplegia and other symptoms, it is generally called a stroke. However, in more serious cases, like Chen Di, not only can't speak, but can't even move, and he is not aware of anything in the outside world. There is no response to stimulation. To use a modern term, he is in a vegetative state.
This is a very serious disease, and in the era without specific thrombolytic drugs, death was basically declared.
The imperial doctors could only use acupuncture to temporarily maintain the condition and prevent it from getting worse, but they were unable to treat it because Emperor Chen had lost consciousness or could no longer control his body and couldn't even take medicine.
"Prince, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, but we should prepare as soon as possible."
The imperial doctors announced that Emperor Chen was in a hopeless state, but the prince was unwilling to give in. He shouted with red eyes: "If my father cannot survive, I want you all to be buried with him!"
The imperial doctors had no choice but to say: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely try our best to save you!"
That being said, what can be done is actually limited. A severe stroke affects a large part of the nerves and the swallowing function has disappeared. If the medicine is poured directly from the mouth, the patient will choke to death.
In Chen Di's current condition, he could survive seven or eight days without eating, but only four or five days without drinking water.
Unfortunately, they still don’t know what nasogastric feeding is. Even if they do, it still requires skill to introduce a nasogastric feeding tube to a patient who has lost his swallowing function.
The day after Emperor Chen's death, the prince concealed the fact that Emperor Chen fell ill. He only said that the emperor had caught wind and cold. Originally, he had been going to Beijing in April because he was prone to cold and cold, so the court meeting was cancelled.
Although the cancellation of court meetings was rare, it happened occasionally, so the civil and military ministers did not think much about it.
Zhao Cheng and the others who were far away in Yunzhou naturally didn't know all this. Even if the news came, it was already after the government examination was over.
Su Zaixing, who was speeding on the road, didn't know all this. He was still thinking about how to report to the Holy One after returning to Beijing from Yunzhou. What things did the Holy One want to know and what things were irrelevant. of.
Because the court meeting the next day was canceled, Right Prime Minister Lin Ruoquan and Jin Qiaoer visited Li Youdao's residence. Li Youdao also held a grand ceremony and officially accepted this famous adopted daughter.
Jin Qiaoer bowed down to Li Youdao who was sitting in the chair in the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion: "Daughter Jin Qiaoer, meet your father!"
Li Youdao twitched his beard and smiled: "You can no longer call me Jin Qiao'er. Since you have adopted me as your adoptive father, from today on, you are Li Qiao'er. Although your surname has changed, your bloodline has not changed. You must still treat your biological father and his relatives well." .”
"The reason why I changed your surname is that since you are my daughter, you should inherit my surname of Li so that I can have successors."
Jin Qiaoer, no, Li Qiaoer bowed down again: "Qiaoer thanked my father for his teachings."
Li Youdao looked at Li Qiao'er in the hall and thought to himself, Lin Ruoquan's eyes were indeed vicious, this girl was indeed like a piece of jade, both in words, deeds, temper and temperament, she seemed to be excellent so far.
The most rare thing is that she looks very beautiful. Even without makeup, she still looks amazingly beautiful. If her skin wasn't slightly rough, she would be perfect, like a fairy.
Li Youdao became more and more satisfied with this adopted daughter. He held a banquet in his mansion and prepared to entertain the guests for three days to get to know his relatives and friends.
"Brother Lin, I want to toast you with this glass of wine. If you hadn't thought about it, you might have missed this daughter."
Lin Ruoquan smiled and said, "What did you say yesterday? Did you just remember to thank me today?"
Li Youdao laughed and changed the topic: "When you came here today, why did you suddenly mention the Xiqiang thing? Could it be that the situation in the west has changed?"
"Brother Li, please stop joking. All our news comes from the cabinet. You and I know the same about the situation in Xiqiang."
"I have a few words. I want to talk to Brother Li alone."
"Oh?" Li Youdao picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, then stood up and left the table, dragging Lin Ruoquan out of the house.
On a quiet road in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Ruoquan said while blowing the cool wind: "The reason why we talk about things in the west is because someone is considering the situation in the west and proposes to move the capital."
"Move the capital?" Li Youdao looked at Lin Ruoquan: "Didn't you propose moving the capital?"
Lin Ruoquan nodded and said, "Yes, I proposed it first, but this time it was not me who proposed it."
Although it is just a proposal, because moving the capital involves all aspects and is a hugely expensive project, it often takes several days or even dozens of days to discuss.
Hearing that the proposer was not Lin Ruoquan, Li Youdao began to guess who proposed moving the capital again.
You must know that since Lin Ruoquan proposed to move the capital, the current emperor has only said, "If I hadn't guarded the capital, I'm afraid this bitter and cold land would have been lost sooner or later."
This sentence ended all the controversy and brought a protracted discussion to an end.
So to this day, no one dares to mention moving the capital, because according to the emperor's words, once the capital is moved, if the land in Beijing is lost, it will undoubtedly be the responsibility of the proposer.
So Li Youdao filtered through the ministers in the court who were qualified to discuss the matter, but still couldn't figure out who was so brave and proposed to move the capital again.
"You can't guess this person." Lin Ruoquan didn't keep it secret, but told Li Youdao directly.
"The person who made the suggestion is Bai Dongjiang!"
"Bai Dongjiang?" Li Youdao didn't expect that the first person to oppose moving the capital would one day think about moving the capital again.
