After Mao Xinze's incident, King Heng, who had not yet become arrogant, suddenly became honest. The opponent is too powerful, and he must remain silent to accumulate strength. But the emperor stayed in the Changchun Palace for several nights in succession because of guilt. The emperor was so old and in poor health, so he did this just to appease him.
On this day, Wen Wan went to Yanghe Hall and saw Doctor Wang taking the emperor's pulse. The emperor kept coughing. In the past, Dr. Wang would give the emperor Ping'an pulse, but this was not the case. Wen Wan anxiously asked Eunuch Wen what happened.
Seeing Wen Wan's anxious and frightened look, Eunuch Wen hurriedly explained, "Princess, the Emperor suffered from wind last night and his head felt a little heavy when he woke up this morning. The imperial doctor said it's nothing serious, Princess, don't worry."
No matter how anxious Wen Wan is, she doesn¡¯t dare to show it on her face. To prevent the emperor from being in a bad mood. Serve the emperor wholeheartedly. Wen Wan felt extremely uncomfortable watching the emperor handle political affairs despite his illness, and every time she tried to persuade him, it was of no use.
Wenwan asked the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor Wang said, "Princess, to be honest with the princess, the emperor is overworked, plus he is already old, and there is not enough time to recuperate. Please advise the emperor to take good care of himself." That¡¯s good.¡±
Wen Wan felt very sad and expressed her feelings to the emperor several times, but the emperor still worked hard to approve the memorial every day. I have tried to persuade him gently so many times, but to no avail. The emperor didn't listen at all. No matter how much he said gently, it was just useless. Wen Wan was anxious, but had no idea what to do.
It¡¯s the middle of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and there are snowflakes floating in the sky. The emperor's illness was finally getting better. But that's just the surface. The emperor often coughed, and once he started coughing, he wouldn't stop coughing, not to mention that the person who coughed felt uncomfortable. Wen Wan, the person waiting next to him, felt worried when he heard him cough.
Wen Wan asked the Imperial Physician Wang privately, but the Imperial Physician Wang only asked Wen Wan to do her best to persuade the emperor to rest. The words of the imperial physician also mean that the emperor's condition is very bad. The emperor's body has reached the point where it can no longer bear the load.
Wen Wan felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. Although it is said that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, in the past two years. The emperor indeed loved her very much and did not treat her lightly. Wen Wan doesn't know what to do. What can be done so that the emperor can put down his heavy burden and calm down to take care of his body. If it continues like this, it won't take more than a year. The emperor must fall.
Wenwan walked from Yongning Palace to Yanghe Palace, and a vast white cold mist enveloped the road and trees. There was clear snow like broken jade floating in the sky, and the sharp cold air bit into the skin. The exposed ears, cheeks, and fingers were so cold that they hurt like a cat bite.
Wen Wan shivered and regretted very much why she didn¡¯t wear earmuffs and gloves. Xia Yao looked at it and shook her head helplessly, putting on the waistcoat and gloves she was going to wear on Wen Wan. Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao's movements and smiled.
"It's so cold. You come here in a warm sedan. You have to walk here if you want to do anything. What if you catch a cold." The emperor looked at Wen Wan rubbing her hands, chopping her feet, and shaking the snow off her clothes. He was not only blaming her. Wen Wan shook her head, how could she be so delicate? It¡¯s better to exercise more.
Eunuch Wen immediately moved the stove and let Wen Wan bake it. Wenwan rubbed her hands a few times and drank a cup of scalding hot tea. It also warms up. The emperor was amused and angry. I don't know when this girl's temper will change.
In between. The emperor coughed again. Every time the emperor coughed, Wen Wan's heart tightened. He walked up, patted his back, and served the emperor to take medicine.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yao, the Minister of Dali Temple, would like to see you." The emperor received him. After reading the memorial, he nodded and gave orders. Just do it. Wen Wan was a little surprised.
"Isn't it strange that grandpa didn't pursue the case to the end?" The emperor looked at Wen Wan with a surprised look on his face when he heard the result of the trial, and asked with a smile.
?????????????? nodded gently, but quickly expressed his opinion. Grandpa naturally had his own considerations in doing this. I don¡¯t understand this myself.
"If grandpa makes a move, not just a few people, but a large number of meritorious people will be implicated, and the court will be shaken by then. Grandpa is old and can't stand the trouble anymore." The emperor said softly. After he sent someone to check, he was quite frightened when he looked at the list of personnel.
Wen Wan said very cautiously, "Grandpa, there is a question that I have always wanted to ask but never dared to ask. Emperor Grandpa, can I ask? I know it may be treasonous for me to ask this, but I really can't bear it. Come on, Grandpa Emperor, I don¡¯t mean anything else, I¡¯m just really worried, I" Wen Wan was very conflicted, afraid that she would be guilty if she asked. But no matter what, she felt sad for a moment.
"If you have any doubts, just speak up. Why are you so hesitant? What else can grandpa do to you." The emperor touched Wen Wan's head, full of affection.
"Grandpa Emperor, the cold you suffered this time has kept you for half a month. The imperial doctor said that you should rest more. Why don't you rest more and take care of things?Several uncles and uncles are doing it! You are not in good health and need to take a good rest. "Wen Wan wrote word by word on the paper.
"You are saying that grandpa is old and cannot be used anymore." The emperor pretended not to care, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Wen Wan shivered at the sight of her, and her heart felt cold. With his head lowered, he finally mustered up the courage to write: "Grandpa, this is not a matter of being useless. In this world, everyone will grow old one day. In the past, the emperors of Qin and Han, Emperors of Tang and Song, who did not live a glorious life, built They have achieved eternal hegemony and immortal achievements, but they cannot escape this link. Birth, aging, illness and death are the laws of nature, and no one can escape the reincarnation of heaven. I know that what I say is a treason and a capital crime. I still want to say, Grandpa, you are in very bad health now. The imperial doctor has always said that you should take a good rest. Only by taking good rest and taking good care of yourself can you live a long life. You know your body best. Why do you have to work so hard? Are those things more important than your health and your life? "
" Seeing the emperor working so hard, his body was clearly overwhelmed, and he still had to review memorials. So hard every day. She knew that power was tempting, but compared with life, life was definitely more important. Wen Wan felt very uncomfortable, thinking that if the emperor fell, just thinking about this topic would make Wen Wan very uncomfortable. She didn't dare to think about it because she was afraid that something might happen to the emperor.
"What's wrong? Grandpa didn't say anything to you? Why are you crying?" The emperor listened to Wen Wan's tears falling down. He wiped her tears, but her expression softened a lot. During this period of time, he was ill, and Wen Wan was really anxious. The emperor knew that Wen Wan was really worried about him and thinking about him. If it were anyone else who dared to say this, blood would probably be splattered on the ground.
"If you didn't work so hard, you would definitely be a centenarian under the care of the imperial doctors. But you are in such poor health now. You still deal with government affairs despite being sick. I asked the imperial doctors, but they didn't tell me, but I know your health It's getting worse. Grandpa, I only have two close relatives, you and my uncle. I want you to be well. Grandpa Emperor, I hope you live a long life." Wen Wan burst into tears. Lose. Holding the emperor in his arms and feeling the heat coming from his body made him feel at ease. I don't know why, Wen Wan has been frightened all this time. She was always on tenterhooks, fearing that something might happen to the emperor.
The emperor obviously felt Wen Wan's fear, and felt warm in his heart. Ever since the poisoned tea incident, he has become disheartened towards his children. This past year. With Wenwan by his side, he won't feel alone or lonely. Although Wen Wan has some small thoughts, she really has no plot against him (that's because she knows she can't plot against you).
"If you were asked to go back to the past, still in that small village, would you be willing?" the emperor asked gently.
Wen Wan shook her head and expressed her unwillingness to do so if she was still on Zhuangzi. I can no longer see my uncle, nor my grandpa. I don¡¯t want any glory or wealth, and I don¡¯t care about high position and power. I just want to be happy with my family. If I could return to the small villa in exchange for your health, grandpa, I would do it. "
"Silly boy, what a stupid boy." The emperor touched Wen Wan's head. For words spoken gently, keep them by your side. The emperor could tell at a glance when Wen Wan was telling the truth and when she was lying.
"Then tell me, who should be made the prince?" As soon as these words came out, Eunuch Wen next to him trembled. Such an important national event. The emperor actually asked the princess. This is too childish for the emperor. If the imperial censor finds out, there will definitely be a lot of impeachment memorials. If people outside find out, the princess will not be charged with interfering with political affairs.
Although the situation is already clear. But no matter how clear it is, the emperor has not completed the final procedures, which proves that the emperor is still uneasy and unwilling to hand over power.
Wen Wan shook his head, ¡®I don¡¯t know, in terms of talent and ability, several uncles are very powerful. But in my opinion, the most important thing when being an emperor is to benefit the people of the world, and talent and ability come second. As for who can better benefit the people, I don't know. ¡¯
"Grandpa thought you could talk about Laoba." The emperor laughed dumbly.
Wen Wan carefully wrote, "I had such selfish hopes at the time that I wouldn't have believed it myself. But politics is really complicated. I have been listening to it in the palace for more than a year, and I still can't understand the intricate relationships. Naturally, one must be cautious when choosing a successor. After all, it will affect the future of Da Qi and the survival of millions of people. "
The last time I was seriously ill, I just wanted to take a step back. It's not pointed out. If I point it out now, it would be a bit of a forced uterus.
Wen Wan has been with the emperor for such a long time. Not to mention other things, the emperor's thoughts have been guessed a lot. But you also know where your bottom line is. Once she crosses the line and doesn't talk to her, even Uncle Zheng will suffer.
"Then what do you say??If grandpa wasn't so tired anymore, what would he do? I am used to being busy every day, and suddenly I feel relaxed. I don¡¯t know if I can stand it or not! "The emperor asked with a smile.
"This naturally has to go through a process. As for retirement, after retirement, you can plant flowers, play with birds, go fishing, exercise more, and when your body is well taken care of, you can walk around to see the beautiful scenery and eat. Specialty snacks from various places. I think those days are quite beautiful. I don¡¯t have to wait until I am old. When I am no longer busy (after replenishing the national treasury), I will travel all over the world and eat everyone in Daqi. I've walked around every corner. I've seen all the beautiful scenery and eaten all the delicious food in the world." Wen Wan saw something interesting and happily planned her future.
"Listen, it seems good." The emperor also smiled happily.
The emperor talked to Wen Wan for a while, then continued to immerse himself in official duties, and did not continue the topic again. Wen Wan was a little disappointed, but didn't say anything more.
What Wen Wan didn't know was that before going to bed that day, the emperor asked, "Wen Bao, tell me, what Wen Wan said makes sense. I have worked hard all my life, should I spend my time raising flowers and playing with birds?" , It¡¯s a good time to rest and rest on a fishing day. ¡°Who else knows the emperor¡¯s body better than himself, although he has already decided on Prince Zheng. But I don¡¯t want to delegate power. But his body really couldn't bear it. Once he let go of his power, he could never get it back.
Eunuch Wen managed to avoid fainting, but his legs were still weak and he lay prone on the ground. "Your Majesty, you are still in your prime. The imperial doctor has said so. Let you rest for a few days and you will be well."
After hearing this, the emperor waved his hand for him to go down. He leaned on the dragon bed and thought for a long time. His own body knows it.
" Eunuch Wen saw Long live the emperor going to sleep. When he came out, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and persuaded the emperor to hand over power and abdicate. It was so natural to persuade him. God, only Princess Wen Wan in the world dared to say this. If it had been anyone else, they would have been torn into pieces. This does not mean that the emperor is old and useless. I don¡¯t know that the older people are, the more afraid they are of others saying they are old. Especially the emperor, who is the most powerful person in the world and rich all over the world, how can he be willing to let go of his life of being able to call the shots and call for rain?
Wen Wan saw that the emperor could not listen to her advice and still handled important affairs of the government as usual. Wen Wan took good care of the emperor with all her heart. But worrying in my heart affects my mood and my appetite. I can't eat more than a few mouthfuls of food every day.
Seeing that Wen Wan was in a bad mood, Xia Xiang said with a smile, "Princess, the plum blossoms in the plum garden are blooming. Princess, please don't go and take a look. Just take some time to relax."
In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, all the flowers were withered, but there was a place in the imperial garden where hundreds of plum trees were planted. It was planted by the emperor for a beloved concubine who loved plum blossoms. Later, it became a rare sight in the imperial garden. This is the time when plum blossoms are in full bloom. From a distance, you can see a large area of ??pink, white and fiery red, with deep and shallow colors, which is very eye-catching and beautiful. When the wind blows, many petals fall.
Seeing such beautiful scenery, Wen Wan felt much better. After walking around and seeing enough, I asked people to collect the plum blossoms and take a hot bath for a while.
In the following days, Wen Wan basically stayed with the emperor. When I went to bed at night, I had to watch the emperor fall asleep before leaving and returning to Yongning Palace. The emperor sleeps lightly and usually wakes up at the beginning of the morning. Wen Wan came over at a moment's notice to accompany her grandpa. (To be continued)
