Yu Wenyun's spirit today was obviously better than before and he was in a better mood. When he arrived at Liehuiyuan, Yuchi and Sun Sheng spoke to the young general.
"Choose a big fence for us to use as a target."
Yu Wenyun hit more fences than before. Yuchi and Sun Sheng also saw that they were good, so they stopped and Yu Wenyun was too tired, so he spoke to persuade him.
"Your Majesty, it's time to rest. Please calm down for a while and then I can continue playing with Your Majesty."
Entering the rest room, before Yuchi Sunsheng could open his mouth, Yu Wenyun asked the little eunuch to bring him a bowl of ginseng soup and another bowl to Yuchi Sunsheng. The soup and medicine were served to Yu Wenyun respectively. Before he opened his mouth, Yuchi Sunsheng took a slightly exaggerated sip. And finished and smacked his lips.
"It tastes good, it tastes good, it's really a good soup."
Yuwen Yun suddenly felt strange and looked at the black soup and asked.
"Is this ginseng soup?"
Yuchi Sun Sheng knelt down and said.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was me who made the right decision and changed the medicine."
"You are brave."
Yu Wenyun said angrily.
"What is your intention, dear?"
"Yesterday, His Majesty suddenly felt unwell. Afterwards, the Imperial Physician analyzed that the trouble might have been caused by the ginseng soup. He told the minister that His Majesty has been weak recently. Although ginseng is a great tonic, his impatience will make the Emperor unwell, so I asked the Imperial Physician. I prescribed a warm and tonic medicine, so I tasted it first just to be sure."
Yu Wenyun felt that what Yuchi Sun Sheng said was reasonable and it was hard to say anything else, so he picked up the bowl of soup and took a small sip. Suddenly he felt that the taste was not right and raised his tone.
"Send for the imperial physician."
In fact, the Palace Physician had been waiting outside the door in fear for a long time when he heard Yu Wenyun calling him. Before anyone else could tell him, he entered the room and knelt down beside Yuchi Sun Sheng fearfully and continued Yu Wenyun.
"I used to take the warming medicine you prescribed and it tasted bitter when I first took it in my mouth. Why do I feel it's sweet and sweet as soon as I take it in my mouth today?"
"The young uncle was afraid that His Majesty would be uncomfortable, so he asked us to make the medicine more palatable. The younger one added an extra layer of licorice to the medicine."
"Everyone, get up, Palace Physician, you don't need to be trembling when you see me. Although my temper is not very good sometimes, I still know what is good and what is right and what is wrong."
After Yu Wenyun finished speaking, he picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
The weather in Chang'an, the imperial capital, is different from that in Nanchen, which is located in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. Spring arrives quietly. In early spring, spring has not yet begun. It feels almost as cold as winter. It feels a bit hot and dry, and summer suddenly arrives unexpectedly.
On the day of Jiawu in May of the second year of the elephant, the weather in Chang'an was sweltering and sweltering. Sitting in the Tiantai Palace, Yu Wenyun felt uncomfortable and wanted to go out to escape the summer heat. He called the fortune teller from the palace to come over and asked.
"When do you think it's a good time to travel?"
Laihe knew that Yu Wenyun was impatient, so he muttered something and pointed at it.
"Today is just right."
Yu Wenyun looked at the gray sky and asked again at dusk.
"How about tomorrow?"
Laihe pretended and pinched his fingers again.
"Tomorrow is fine, but not as good as today."
"Why?"
"Today the purple energy is coming from the east. If it moves with the energy, it is a good sign."
"Okay, this is exactly what I want."
The young Yu Wen Yun suddenly became more interested and immediately set up the Dharma racks overnight to go to Tianxing Palace to escape the summer heat. Due to the exhaustion of driving and traveling all night, Yu Wen Yun suddenly felt unwell when he arrived at Tian Xing Palace. Liu Pi and Zheng Yi discussed.
"You two are important ministers to His Majesty. Please, sir, persuade Your Majesty to return to Chang'an."
After listening to Liu Pi and Zheng Yi's persuasion, Yu Wenyun was reluctant at first and then felt even more uncomfortable. He vomited a mouthful of blood. The palace doctor said to Yu Wenyun while taking the medicine.
"Your Majesty, the weather is changing frequently. I dare to ask Your Majesty to return to Kyoto to rest."
Yu Wenyun felt uncomfortable all over and felt that what the imperial doctor said was reasonable, so he no longer insisted on it.
After returning to the palace the next day, Yu Wenyun's condition not only did not improve, but became more serious. After the palace doctor examined him again, he reported the truth to his close minister Yan Zhiyi.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yan, has had his dragon body hollowed out by a woman. He may not live until next spring."
Now when Liu Pi and Zheng Yi came over and heard that Yu Wenyun would not survive next year, they were very surprised.
Liu Pi, Zheng Yi, and Yu Wenyun spent most of their time together, so they were completely unprepared for this incident.
"We thought that His Majesty's minor problems were unavoidable as he has just entered middle age, but they were not serious problems, right? Today we know that the Master's illness is serious but often reaches the point of being incurable, right?"
Liu Pi suddenly woke up from his surprise and said.
"What if the Holy Emperor is really going to die soon? Then who should assist the young master?"
Zheng Yi said without thinking.
"Young Master, haven't you always been assisted by the Prime Minister?"
"oops."
Liu Pi said angrily at first.
"Have you forgotten? Didn't Duke Sui go to Yangzhou to appoint the general manager a long time ago? Because His Majesty is seriously ill, he has not yet decided who will fill the position of Imperial Master, and the decision has been delayed."
Zheng Yi said.
"Fortunately, Mr. Sui hasn't left the capital yet, so I guess he should be in charge."
"No, absolutely not."
Yan Zhiyi, who had been silent, woke Fang Dao out of surprise and grief.
"If Your Majesty really cannot turn the crisis around, then the person who assists the young master should be a member of the Yuwen family. Therefore, King Zhao should be recalled immediately, and the king of Zhao should summon the people of the Yuwen family to decide who will assist the young master. .”
"Is it still too late at this time? Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer."
When Liu Pi heard this, he jumped up and objected categorically.
"According to the imperial doctor, the Holy Emperor has only a few days left to live, but King Zhao is still enjoying the mountains and rivers in Luozhou. Can he make it in time? Moreover, he also has to discuss with the Yuwen family. All the imperial uncles are far away in their own kingdoms, and I don’t know when it will be until their entire family gathers together. Who will handle the many urgent matters at the moment?"
"How about this."
Zheng Yi suddenly said.
"Who will be responsible for the young master's affairs? Let's put it aside for the time being. What if His Majesty's condition improves? The most urgent task now is to treat His Majesty's illness. In addition to His Majesty's treatment, everything inside and outside the court must also be taken care of. Isn't it? Since the Duke of Sui has not left the post of prime minister of the capital and has not been formally appointed, based on our experience, Yang Jian can be recruited into the palace to help the young master handle many affairs. As for what will happen in the future, it will depend on the situation. Based on Yang Jian's current situation. With his power, he cannot make any big waves."
Liu Pi immediately agreed.
"Okay, let's do it like this. We really don't feel comfortable using anyone else. We can never let Ginsenghe from the Yuwen family come in. I remember that when Yuwen Yun first came to power, he killed so many people at once, and we were also one of the accomplices. First, no matter who becomes the boss of the Yuwen family in the future, he will definitely not be able to reap the benefits from us."
Yan Zhiyi felt that what Liu Pi said was reasonable, so she didn't have the nerve to continue.
Yang Jian left the prime minister's house and stayed at home to watch the activities in the palace. He only heard that Yu Wenyun had recently gone to Tianxing Palace to escape the summer heat, but he did not expect that Yu Wenyun fell ill and returned to the palace to recuperate so soon.
At the moment, Yang Jian is leisurely loosening soil for fruit trees in his orchard, when Li Shun, the chief steward, comes in to report.
"Brother, someone from the palace has come to deliver the imperial edict."
Yang Jian was frightened when he heard this and muttered in his heart.
"Didn't Your Majesty go to escape the summer heat? Why did you think of us again?"
Yang Jian walked into the house extremely nervously to change clothes. Mrs. Dugu, who was changing Yang Jian's clothes, didn't know whether it was bad or good luck that her husband was gone.
Xiao Lezi saw that Yang Jian's eyes were dull and his expression was frozen and he spoke.
"Prime Minister, please feel free to go boldly. I will follow you all the time. If there is an ambush in the palace, just rely on my martial arts that I have trained so hard. I am not boasting that even if Yu Wenhu comes now, I dare to give him Practice.”
Xiao Lezi further developed an extremely poisonous martial art, allowing highly poisonous species to eat him every day to achieve invulnerability. If he accidentally hits the enemy, he will be poisoned and die.
Yang Jian changed his clothes and walked out of the door. Then he was surprised again. The person who came to announce the edict was neither Liu Pi nor Zheng Yi. It was Yan Zhiyi, the imperial official who rarely appeared.
Seeing this, Yang Jian quickly knelt down to listen to the order and was confused when he heard Yan Zhiyi read it out.
"Xuan Yang Jian comes to the palace to pay an audience."
Yang Jian thought about it and whispered in a low voice.
"Your Majesty is enjoying happiness in his palace far away in the mountains. Is there any urgent matter in the palace of the capital that we need to take care of?"
When Yang Jian stepped forward to receive the order, he wanted to ask Yan Zhiyi but saw a solemn look on her face. Yang Jian suddenly stopped talking.
Not long after, Yang Jian drove into the palace and got off the car in front of the Tiantai Hall. He felt that the atmosphere was not right, but he saw all the eunuchs and eunuchs with low eyebrows and angry and mournful faces.
Lu Ben, who came to pick up Yang Jian, used to be very kind to the Prime Minister Yang Jian, but now it was confirmed that this person was serious and serious. Yang Jian looked at the people present and murmured.
"What happened in the palace? Can we go out? No matter whether we live or die, we can only follow Lu Ben."
Lu Benzhi led Yang Jian outside the door of Yu Wenyun's palace and made a gesture to Yang Jian to invite him in. Yang Jian hesitated and thought.
"No ministers are allowed to enter the emperor's palace at any time."
Yang Jian glanced at Lu Ben again, but Lu Ben nodded to him with certainty. Yang Jian didn't even think about it anymore and stepped into the threshold with a big step.
The first thing that caught the eye in the room was her daughter Yang Lihua, and then she saw Yu Wenyun who was unconscious on the bed.
As soon as Yang Jian's legs went weak, his body fell involuntarily. The empress dowager waved her hand to stop him. A eunuch next to him immediately brought a chair and motioned for Yang Jian to sit down.
At this time, the imperial physician Gong Weizhi came forward and softly introduced to Yang Jian the circumstances before and after Emperor Yuwen Yun's illness.
After hearing this, Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief and felt sorry for his daughter. Her daughter would lose her husband as a monarch soon, but Yang Jian had another thought.
"I am in poor health and stay at home, aren't I just looking forward to this moment? People living in this world are full of surprises, sorrows and joys, and they are entangled with each other and are inseparable."
Yang Jian came out of Yu Wenyun's palace and met his old friend Zheng Yi and asked.
"Where's Mr. Liu?"
"He is very tired after coming down from Tianxing Palace. He may be hiding in a room to rest."
As Zheng Yi spoke, he dragged Yang Jian into a room and told the details of how he was summoned to the palace.
Yang Jian held Zheng Yi's hand tightly and said in a low voice.
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng, for your care. We just entered the palace to see the guards, so it's not okay. What time is it? Every door and post must be on alert to prevent any unexpected events."
Zheng Yi said.
"Right now, the palace is lacking a backbone like you, please."
So Yang Jian took a car and walked around the various posts in the imperial city. In addition to checking the strengthened palace restrictions, he also contacted the military leaders of the Imperial Guards in the imperial city to show off his new identity!
When Yang Jian took care of all the guards and returned to the Tiantai Hall, palace lanterns were still lit everywhere in the palace.
Yang Jian once again went to the emperor's palace and saw that his daughter was still waiting by the bed for Yu Wenyun, who had been sleeping for three nights, so Yang Jian said with concern.
"Didn't you already arrange a shift? Don't let your body be exhausted, please."
Yang Lihua glanced at her father happily and said.
"My slave is not at ease. My daughter is relieved when her father comes."
The daughter said something personal, Yang Jian shook his head to indicate not to let her continue talking, then Yang Jian pointed to Yu Wenyun on the couch and said.
"The emperor is asleep. Your Majesty can take this opportunity to take a nap."
Yang Jian came out of the emperor's palace and greeted Zheng Yi who was on duty.
"We need to go home and get some food, drink and clothes."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the Tiantai Hall. Yang Jian sat in the cart and thought about it all the way.
"Yu Wenyun, that bitch, suddenly fell ill and was unable to save himself. Who could have expected that he would be like this at such a young age? He might die one day. Who will be able to assist the young master at that time? The decision-making power at this moment is in the hands of Liu Pi, Zheng Yi and Yan Zhiyi. Who can predict what will happen in the future!!!"
When Yang Jian arrived in the bedroom, Mrs. Dugu was busy undressing her husband's clothes.
"What happened? We've been there all day. We're still thinking about you."
"Your Majesty, if you are really sick."
Dugufu said.
"Is His Majesty's condition important?"
"Everything is as expected by the imperial doctor."
Yang Jian sighed.
"It's a pity that our girl has suffered so much. She has been waiting by the Holy Emperor's bed."
Dugufu said.
"Now is not the time to feel sorry for your daughter. Let's do this. You eat quickly. You go to Yi Rang Li Gongfu's place tonight. Don't let people keep running towards you."
After dinner, Yang Jian was about to go out when he saw Li Shun running in to report.
"Master Zheng and Master Liu are here to visit."
Yang Jian was shocked and didn't know what happened in the palace in the blink of an eye. He quickly strode out of the door! !
