Yu Yi also felt strange. He should have returned to Hanzhong after Kong Ming. Why didn't he see him when discussing matters in the hall? So he asked Jiang Wan: "We are discussing important matters today. Why didn't the prime minister come?" Jiang Wan bowed and said: " Maybe the Prime Minister forgot."
Yu Yi felt that something was wrong, so he sent someone to pick up the Wu envoy, and then said angrily: "Tell the truth, what happened?"
Jiang Wan just wrote some words, and then sent a close official to deliver it to Yu Yi. After reading it, Yu Yi laughed and said, "So that's it!" Then he ordered the court to disperse, and the first thing he did was to go to the prime minister's residence.
It turned out that Jiang Wan told Kong Ming that he was sick at home after he returned from the Northern Expedition. Yu Yi saw that Kong Ming looked bad and skinny last time he had a video chat with him, which was definitely not the look of a normal person, so when he heard that he was sick, he felt a little bit. I was worried, but later I thought that Jiang Wan did not dare to speak out in front of everyone, but secretly wrote a text to explain the situation to herself. She also knew that Kong Ming's illness should not be disclosed to the outside world, so she cooperated and finished the play.
Soon Yu Yi arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, Huang Yueying welcomed him in, and when he came to the bedside, he only saw that Kong Ming's hair was much whiter, and his complexion was worse than the image in the last video.
When Kong Ming saw Yu Yi coming, he sat up and bowed: "Your Majesty has come, and I have not been far away to welcome you. Please atone for your sins!"
Yu Yi sighed: "The Prime Minister has devoted all his energy to serve me. He is indeed a model minister. You should take care of your health. If you continue like this, I will revoke your position as Prime Minister."
Kong Ming had no choice but to nod, agreeing to Yu Yi's request. Then Yu Yi told the Soochow envoys, and Kong Ming replied: "You can send someone to prepare generous gifts to Soochow to congratulate you. At this time, our crusade against the Central Plains is the most important. , although it is not in line with etiquette for Sun Quan to proclaim himself emperor, he still needs to use their strength. He can take this opportunity to send Lu Xunxing to attack Wei State. Wei State will definitely send Sima Yi to resist. If Sima Yi is not in the north, then my opponent has left, and I Then I will leave Qishan again to plot Chang'an, and the probability of the Northern Expedition's success will be greater." After saying this, Kong Ming coughed violently.
Yu Yi, a student of Hua Tuo, personally checked Kong Ming's pulse and found that Kong Ming's lungs had severe inflammation. He was very surprised and sighed: "If you continue like this, you will die of exhaustion!" After saying this, his eyes became moist.
Kong Ming smiled and said: "If I can repay the late emperor's kindness and your majesty's friendship, even if I die, there will be nothing to regret."
According to the treatment process, Yu Yi wrote some prescriptions and instructions for the maid on the side, and said: "Stop the medicines given by other doctors, and use mine, which may make the prime minister feel better."
After finishing the instructions, Yu Yi turned to Kong Ming and said: "Drugs can only have a maintenance effect. To treat the root cause, we still need to combine work and rest. We can't work day and night without rest. Even the strongest people can't support this." .”
Kong Ming nodded, with gratitude on his face.
The two continued to discuss the matter of Soochow. Yu Yi said: "As for the crusade against Wei, Soochow has always wanted us to fight, and then they can have the advantage of being fishermen. The same is true for Wei. I am afraid you hope that they will fight this time." They are just pretending to send troops!"
Kong Ming smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, Sima Yi would also think of this."
Yu Yi stood up and said: "In this case, we are still fighting alone, and it will be useless."
Kong Ming coughed a few more times and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think is the chance of winning in a fight with Lu Xun?"
Yuyi thought for a moment and was about to answer, but suddenly understood something, so the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and everything became clear.
After leaving the prime minister's residence, Yu Yi ordered Taiwei Chen Zhen to take famous horses, jade belts, gold beads, and treasures to Soochow as gifts, and asked him to express the wishes of Xi Shu. Chen Zhen arrived at Soochow and met with Sun Quan. , handed over the credentials, Sun Quan was very happy, set up a banquet for him, and praised Chen Zhen in front of him: "The new emperor of Western Shu is still very ambitious." After toasting Chen Zhen, he continued to say to Chen Zhen: " The last attack on Xiangyang was caused by bandits from Jingzhou. They wore the clothes of Dongwu soldiers. Fortunately, Jingzhou Marquis Huang Shumin was very brave and repulsed them. Please explain to the new emperor."
After the banquet, Chen Zhen left Jiangdong and returned to Yuyi. After hearing this, Yuyi laughed and sighed: "This Sun Quan's level of lying is much higher. I really admire him!" After that, he asked Chen Zhen Regarding Jiangdong's situation, he returned to the harem.
After Chen Zhen left, Sun Quan summoned Lu Xun and told Chen Zhen, the envoy from Western Shu, the purpose of his visit this time. He hoped that Soochow would send troops to attack Wei.
Lu Xun said with a smile: "This is because Zhuge Liang is afraid that Sima Yi will be his opponent. The Northern Expedition will not go well. Since we have formed an alliance with Xi Shu, we cannot completely disobey it. Then we will pretend to attack and go to Xi Shu as an alliance." Echo, but don’t attack first, wait until Kong Ming’s Northern Expedition to Wei is very critical, then we can take advantage of it and bring in the land of the Central Plains.”
So Sun Quan ordered everyone in Jingzhou to start training troops and choose a good day to prepare for the Northern Expedition.
After Yu Yi returned to the harem, he immediately went to see Zhuge Shan, his newly appointed noble, and introduced her to other concubines. Zhuge Shan was articulate and beautiful, and he quickly got along with everyone. Yu Yi He was also very happy and asked Huang Ruier to take good care of him.
After dinner, Yu Yi summoned the concubines and held a brief meeting. He said: "This time, I will leave Hanzhong for a longer time to carry out a special military operation. I have suffered from you all these years. I've been away for a long time, so I didn't come to take care of the children myself, so it's up to you to take care of them."
Everyone felt that it was natural for them to take care of their children, and there were maids to take care of them, and teachers to take care of them. However, Yu Yi blamed himself, saying that he only gave birth to the child and did not raise it, which was shocking.
Huang Ruier panicked and quickly knelt on the ground and said: "This is all my fault, please punish me!"
The other nobles and concubines also panicked and knelt on the ground to accept the punishment together. Yu Yi shook his head, asked everyone to stand up, and said: "In my heart, men and women have always been equal. I am very happy to be able to marry you."
All the girls were grateful for Yu Yi's kindness, and they all followed Yu Yi willingly. At the end, Yu Yi sighed: "I am very happy to have you, and I will not take another concubine in the future."
In fact, after he ascended the throne and became emperor, Yu Yi was very indulgent for a while. He wished he could marry as many as possible. Men in ancient times were more free. In addition to the concubines he married, he also had his ex-wife Diao Chan. As for the women he had sex with, he could not count them. When these things become taken for granted, Yuyi feels that they are meaningless. This is also the contradiction of human nature.
After the conversation ended, none of the girls understood what Yu Yi was talking about. However, that night, except for the concubines and nobles who were in bad condition and could go back on their own, the others stayed in the palace to entertain Yu Yi. Yu Yi also In an unprecedented state, like a stallion, the girls were amazed and rested after getting drunk.
