Chapter 131 Changes
Here Tang Zhao and Ming Da had just mentally prepared for the next thing, and hadn't even figured out how to face the emperor, but the palace over there suddenly received an urgent report from the border.
In the middle of the afternoon, a flying horse came from the palace and broke into the princess mansion again.
Ming Da and Tang Zhao were startled, and when they came out to see the palace man, the latter fell to his knees with a "thump", and said to them, "Your Highness, son-in-law, your Majesty is not well, please enter the palace quickly."
The posture of the palace guards frightened the two of them, even if they were worried that the emperor would embarrass Tang Zhao before, they couldn't care about anything else at this time.Tang Zhao hurriedly ordered to go down to prepare the carriage, but Mingda was so anxious that he couldn't even wait for the carriage. He took Tang Zhao directly to the stable and brought two horses out, and then galloped into the palace on horseback, alarming many people along the way. .
The emperor had been looking good before, and he seemed to be getting better, but today's good situation was broken by an urgent report from the border.The palace man didn't know what was written in the urgent report, he only knew that the emperor vomited blood and passed out after reading it.
When Ming Da and Tang Zhao entered the palace at this time, they were not only worried about the emperor's health, but also worried that something happened at the border.
When the two hurried to the Xuanshi Hall, the atmosphere in the hall was more gloomy and oppressive than the last time the emperor was seriously ill and passed out.As soon as Ming Da and Tang Zhao entered the sleeping hall, they saw Xiao Song Zhen sitting in the hall in a daze, if he looked carefully, he could still see sporadic bloodstains on his apricot-yellow robe.
When Song Zhen saw the two coming, his eyes turned red, he stood up and threw himself into Mingda's arms: "Aniang..."
With just this sound, he could hear his panic. Mingda patted the child's back comfortingly, and asked, "Azhen, what's going on, you can tell Aniang first."
At the same time, Tang Zhao also stopped an imperial physician to inquire about the situation.
Song Zhen has been following the emperor these days, so he was naturally there at the time, but he doesn't seem to know more than the palace people: "Father vomited blood and fell into a coma after reading the urgent report sent by the border. What did you write?" But he paused, and then said: "Later, Director Su put away the urgent report, and Aniang can ask him to take a look."
After Mingda listened, his eyes wandered around the outer hall, but he didn't see the figure of the chief servant, presumably he was either busy outside, or guarding the emperor in the inner hall.
Tang Zhao also came over at this time after inquiring about the news. She looked unhappy and shook her head at Mingda.
Mingda's heart sank again, and he went to the inner hall without further delay.As soon as he entered the inner hall, he saw that the hall was full of imperial physicians, and almost the entire imperial hospital came. Mingda found the imperial physician's order and asked, "What's the matter, brother?"
At this time, Her Royal Highness the Princess is full of majesty, and she no longer has the gentle expression when facing her family and lover.The Imperial Physician Ling was already in a hurry, but at this moment, she saw that she was dripping with cold sweat, and said falteringly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma."
Do you still use the imperial doctor's order to say this? !
Mingda hated the hesitating appearance of these imperial doctors the most, but at the same time, she also knew that imperial doctors were not deadbeats, and what made them hesitate like this was probably not good news.So she became more and more anxious, she simply frowned and asked bluntly: "I don't want to hear this, I just want to know when Brother Huang will recover?"
The imperial doctor ordered cold sweat on his head and didn't dare to wipe it off. Hearing this, he smiled wryly: When will it be better?I'm afraid it won't get better!
Of course, the imperial medical order would not dare to say this, so he paused for a moment, and then suggested: "Your Highness, why don't you go ahead and see Your Majesty?"
Mingda was a little suspicious when he heard the words, but temporarily put aside the imperial physician's order and went to the dragon couch.She saw the queen standing beside the dragon couch, clutching a veil in her hand, occasionally lowering her head as if she was wiping away tears...Mingda quickly looked away, not looking at what the queen was doing, and when she got closer, she cast her eyes on the dragon couch The emperor lying quietly.
The emperor's situation is obviously not good.The blood on his lips had been wiped clean long ago, which made him look less embarrassed, but at the same time, it couldn't improve his complexion—not the usual paleness, but a face as golden as paper, Seeing it seems to be on the verge of death.
Mingda took a step back in shock, if he hadn't seen the emperor's chest rising and falling slightly when he breathed, it would almost make people suspect that he was dead!
The sudden turn of the situation made Mingda panicked and at a loss, he turned around and pulled the imperial doctor's order back, and asked: "Brother Huang, what's going on? His health was already improving before, why did he suddenly become like this when he was stimulated? "
To tell the truth, Mingda couldn't figure it out.Although she hadn't read the border seal report yet, she knew from the emperor's reaction that what was written on it was definitely not a good thing.But even so, the emperor has been on the throne for 11 years, and he has seen strong winds and waves. It is amazing to be stimulated to vomit blood, and it is unimaginable for Mingda to be stimulated to death.
When the imperial doctor heard the words, he opened his mouth and stopped talking.
Mingda saw it, and he didn't want to give it away at this moment, so he said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
The Imperial Physician had no choice but to say helplessly: "Your Highness, please tell me. Your Majesty's health is not improving, but the potential of the body is only stimulated by the secret medicine. Half a month ago, Your Majesty asked the Imperial Physician to ask for the secret medicine, and it is only after taking it every day. It seems that the body is getting better, and it is gradually like others. But the effect of this medicine will last for three months at most, and it will be as short as one month.
As far as the emperor's body was concerned, it was almost at the end of its strength.However, if this is the case, it may not be possible to prolong life through self-cultivation, and a one percent possibility is also possible.But it's different after using the secret medicine. This is a choice that cannot be turned back. There is a [-]% chance that he will be healthy for three months.But in his opinion, three months is enough to pave the way for Song Zhen.
Mingda naturally also knew about the so-called secret medicine, which prolongs life rather than cutting off the way forward.She didn't expect that her imperial brother would be so ruthless to take medicine, and she didn't expect that after taking medicine, a piece of paper would ruin the situation.
Taking a deep breath, Mingda knew that the imperial physician ordered her to say these things, which was almost a sentence of death for the emperor.
But as a family member, how could Mingda easily accept his fate?She looked around for a week, seeing all the imperial physicians in the room, her gaze was slightly sharp, making the person facing her tremble: "Anyway, please ask the imperial physician to save my brother."
The imperial physician was dumbfounded, but he didn't dare to say anything when he met the eyes of His Royal Highness, so he had to accept the order.
The emperor's condition was really bad, but he closed his eyes but never woke up, people just wanted to listen to him, but couldn't get his arrangement.Gradually, Mingda's attention shifted away from the emperor, and he turned to the chief servant.
Director Su knew why Ming Da was looking for him, hesitated for a moment, and handed the collected memorial to the eldest princess.
In recent years, the chief minister and princess have intervened, not to mention the current emperor vomits blood and is in a coma. He doesn't know when he will wake up, and what's more, he doesn't know if he will wake up. It seems natural to hand over the government affairs to the eldest princess.
When Mingda received the report, he felt a little cautious.But even so, when she unfolded the report and just glanced at it, her face changed drastically and she was stunned—as Mingda expected, the urgent report at the border was not a good thing.
However, it is very cold in the north this year, and the territory of Daliang is fine, but the Hu people's grasslands that were taken away were hit by a catastrophe, and none of the livestock froze to death.So in order to survive, these barbarians simply raised their scimitars and went back to their old jobs, and came to attack Daliang and loot supplies again.This is not a big deal, after all, border frictions have long been used to, but what those barbarians this year seem to be asking for is not just looting supplies.
The climate of the northern grasslands is really not good, especially in winter, it is even more bitterly cold than the bitterly cold place.On the contrary, looking at Daliang, the land is fertile and the people are rich. They have endless wealth and food.
Since Daliang is so good, why did he leave after looting?
Stimulated by the snow disaster this winter, the Hu people did not plan to go back when they went south to plunder.They used to rush back and forth, but now they started to attack the city and occupy the land, and they were about to bite hard on the territory of Daliang.
At the beginning, seeing through the plans of the Hu people, the generals guarding the border didn't pay much attention to them, and even thought they were whimsical.But when the two sides were fighting, Liang Jun was always caught off guard unexpectedly.
No barbarian would dare to break into heavily fortified places. They all went to look for weak defenses to attack, and they found one right.Soon, the border generals realized that the defense map on their side might have been stolen by the barbarians.But if you know that you know, it will not be a matter of a day or two if you really want to mobilize troops and horses to rearm your defenses.
At this time, it was Ding Guogong who was sitting in the north, and it was only a matter of time before he wanted to re-arm with his rich experience.But no one gave him time, and the experienced veteran was shot and killed by a hidden arrow in his own army.
For a while, the morale of the army was in turmoil, and then they couldn't hold the pass, and the whole Northland also became chaotic.
In the last sentence of the emergency report, it said that the Hu people were ambitious and intended to continue going south, and asked His Majesty to dispatch troops to defend against the enemy as soon as possible.
After reading the report, Mingda felt a little flustered in his heart which is rare.One is because of the sudden change in the situation in the North, and the other is because of the possible adverse effects of the chaos in the North, and finally because of the death of Duke Ding.
Ding Guogong's position in the army is very important, and what's even more rare is that he is quite trusted by the emperor - this is related to the fact that Song Ting was the prince's companion, and the Song family was naturally the prince|party.It was even more because in the rebellion 11 years ago, it was Ding Guogong who finally led the army to quell the chaos and save the emperor.Since then, the emperor has put a lot of trust in Ding Guogong, and there is still a bit of reliance on him.
Now that Ding Guogong died, the northern region is in chaos, and the situation in Pianjing is still ambiguous.It is no wonder that the emperor, who had only three months to learn such news, became anxious, but in the end, even those three months became a luxury.
Mingda bit his lower lip tightly, feeling powerless and even more at a loss.
Tang Zhao, who had been paying attention to Mingda's situation early, walked over and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what happened?"
When Mingda heard the words, she subconsciously folded the memorial in her hand to prevent Tang Zhao from seeing it—of course she hadn't forgotten that Ding Guogong was Tang Zhao's father, and she still didn't know how to tell Tang Zhao the news.
Tang Zhao noticed her little gesture, and couldn't help but look at the newspaper in her hand, and asked again: "What's wrong?"
