Shenjing, the Imperial Palace, inside the Jinluan Hall.
Emperor Yongtai, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the empty seat below with a somewhat ugly face. When he found that Jia Yun did not come to attend the court today, he immediately asked with a slight dissatisfaction: "Jia Yun, why didn't you come to attend the court today?" towards?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this. They had no idea why Jia Yun, who used to be a dragon and tiger in the past, deliberately did not come to court today. If something went wrong, a monster would be born, but they still didn't know the specific details, so they didn't know. Don't dare to talk randomly.
After all, as an official in this court, speaking nonsense will offend others, and even lead to beheading.
If you speak without restraint, disaster will surely come from your mouth.
Seeing that everyone was silent, just when Emperor Yongtai was about to get angry, someone slowly stood up, held the wat tablet in his hand, looked at Emperor Yongtai who was sitting on the dragon chair and said: "Qi Your Majesty, Sir Yun accidentally contracted a cold yesterday and is bedridden today. He is unable to come to court. The memorial for asking for leave has been sent to the cabinet, but we only found out about it. Please forgive me."
Hearing this person's words, everyone looked shocked, but not everyone knew what happened yesterday.
However, they also feel that this is quite normal, and things like getting sick and catching a cold are nothing more than normal.
There are many examples of ancient people dying of illness. It is not that you can avoid illness just because you are an emperor or a minister.
Therefore, no one said much. Only Emperor Yongtai looked thoughtful. This matter of Jia Yun's illness was indeed somewhat unexpected.
However, during the heavy rain yesterday, Jia Yun stood for two hours and talked in the room for an hour, so it seems normal to get sick? !
For a while, Emperor Yongtai felt that it was his own fault.
However, as an emperor, he is very suspicious.
He believed no one.
So, after Emperor Yongtai retired from the court, he called for Dai Quan and told him: "Ask Dr. Zhang from the Taiyuan Hospital to go to Yun Mansion in person, to have a look for me, and also to express condolences to Yun Aiqing on my behalf. "
After receiving the order, Dai Quan immediately went to the Imperial Hospital and called Imperial Physician Zhang. Then they left the palace together and went to Yun Mansion to visit the sick Jia Yun.
This visit and test was still easily fooled by Jia Yun, and Dai Quan did not see any flaws at all. Even Zhang Taiyi, a fifth-grade imperial doctor in the Taiyuan Hospital, could only be teased by Jia Yun. Round and round.
After everything was tested, Dai Quan hurriedly took Doctor Zhang away.
Jia Yun stopped pretending to be sick when she saw the two people leaving. She stood up and looked at Xiang Ling beside her and said, "Xiang Ling, please tell me to go down. The house is under martial law recently. People coming in and out, if there are any strangers, You have to keep an eye on me. In addition to strangers, the people in the house must also be strictly managed. Once problems are discovered, don't keep them."
Following Jia Yun's instructions, Xiang Ling nodded and said, "Master, are you trying to avoid King Beijing's birthday?"
"The one who knows me is Mo Ruoxiang Ling! However, you are only right about one, and the other two are right." Jia Yun said with a smile.
Xiangling was slightly stunned when she heard this. She quickly stood behind Jia Yun and took the initiative to rub Jia Yun's shoulders and asked, "Husband, what is the second one?"
"The second thing is to ease the situation. The current situation is not good for us, so it's best to be quiet." Jia Yun's eyes flashed with shrewdness.
Now he is not ready to fall out with Emperor Yongtai, but he still needs to wait for a while.
...
When the news came back to the palace with Dai Quan and Doctor Zhang, it immediately attracted the attention of Emperor Yongtai.
"Your Majesty, why do you need to worry? That Jia Yun is just a civil servant. Even though civil servants have great power since ancient times, few of them can escape the palm of Tathagata Buddha. As long as Your Majesty is willing, you can easily capture Jia Yun. Your Majesty also Why should you be so afraid of him? He is a weak scholar with no power. Even if he gets power, he is like a slave and needs to rely on His Majesty.
, will never mess up. "
At this moment, Dai Quan also felt that Emperor Yongtai was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Jia Yun, a civil servant, does not pose much of a threat at all.
The emperor should be most wary of generals with military power, not weak literati.
For a while, Emperor Yongtai also thought of many things that had happened recently, so he became a little suspicious and sensitive. It seemed that Emperor Yongtai was also willing to believe what Dai Quan said about his worries and concerns about Jia Yun. Suspicions are unnecessary.
As for the little things that King Shuirong of Beijing did below, don't think that he didn't know about it. It was just that Emperor Yongtai cared about the relationship between brothers and was unwilling to break up with Shuirong...
After all, Shui Rong had some affection for him, and they were relatives of the royal family, so it was really difficult to handle.
When the Supreme Emperor passed the throne to Emperor Yongtai, he made it very clear that he should be kind to his brothers and not kill his own brothers, causing the brothers to kill each other. Why is it too urgent to fry each other?
This is also the fundamental reason why Emperor Yongtai gave King Beijing Shuirong a string of wagtail incense beads.
The purpose is to persuade Beijing Wang Shuirong not to have any wrong thoughts.
But later, King Shuirong of Beijing gave the wagtail-scented rosary directly to Jia Baoyu.
Although Emperor Yongtai was in a deep palace, he was fully aware of what was going on outside.
Emperor Yongtai thought of the relationship between Jia Baoyu and King Beijing, and asked: "It was reported in Rongguo Mansion that Jia Baoyu had a piece of jade in his mouth when he was just born. Is this true?"
"It's serious. He still keeps that piece of jade in his hand, and the old lady from the Shi family protects it all the time." Dai Quan quickly informed Emperor Yongtai of the information he had.
Emperor Yongtai snorted coldly: "These are precious jade, rotten jade, they are all bastard sarcasm. If they didn't have the idea of rebellion, how could they do such ridiculous things? It’s really hateful!”
For a time, Emperor Yongtai put the matter of confiscating the properties of the four major families on the agenda.
However, Emperor Yongtai's top priority now is to deal with the army's expedition. As for the matter of confiscating the house, it will be postponed for a while but it will not be too late.
After all, the four major families cannot escape. Just like the fish on the chopping board, confiscating the house is just a matter of imperial decree, so there is no rush.
After hearing Dai Quan's words, Emperor Yongtai did not feel much relieved. Instead, he had a solemn look on his face and couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "What do you think of Jia Yun?"
Dai Quan walked forward with a smile, refilled the tea cup in front of Emperor Yongtai's desk, and then said with a smile: "I think he is a loyal minister."
