Chapter 258: Collapse
"Your Majesty, when will the third prince go to Liangzhou? The memorial for the founding of Liangzhou was just delivered this morning. I don't dare to delay it for a moment." Ze Fengduo pretended to have no knowledge of the third prince's actions.
He asked the emperor carefully, trying to figure out the relationship.
"He has been gone for more than half a month, and Aiqing didn't know about it?" Shen Yixiang felt that Ze Fengduo was pretending not to know.
"I don't have much information, but the third prince can do things well, so there is definitely no need for the emperor to work too hard." Ze Fengduo admired the third prince for his boldness. Among these princes, he valued the third prince's character and talent the most, but he
He was also well aware of the emperor's love for the prince, so he had always been confused about the matter of establishing a prince.
Ze Fengduo didn't understand why the emperor fell in love with the prince. Is it just because the prince's biological mother was Concubine Yi? He didn't believe that the emperor made Concubine Yi's son the crown prince to make up for the damage caused to him back then, even though Concubine Yi had a good nature.
Izumi Youzhi can forgive the emperor, but the hundreds of clan members who suffered the same annihilation may not agree.
Ze Fengduo hated himself for not being able to save Concubine Yi, and watched helplessly as she was involved in the dispute over the throne and unable to escape. In the end, not only did he lose the rest of his life, but he also dragged the entire clan into purgatory, with blood splattered three feet away and his eyes full of scarlet.
That night, Ze Fengduo buried all the memories related to Ling'er in his heart, turning them into a seal that was difficult to open while he was alive, and no one cared about that dust-covered secret.
"Even Duke Wei is aware of this matter, and I thought your beloved would also understand." The first person to disturb Shen Yixiang in the morning was Dugu Ruyuan.
"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty. Everything I know is stated in the memorial. It is not as good as Your Majesty's eyes and ears." Ze Fengduo's praise was very exaggerated. He only had the duty of a minister to the Emperor and no longer had any emotional concern.
connection.
"Stop complimenting me. We are both over fifty years old. No one in the civil or military circles understands me as well as Aiqing." Shen Yixiang and Ze Fengduo have been each other's monarchs and ministers for more than 20 years, but he has never been able to see through them.
Ze Fengduo's joys, sorrows, and joys are only
He felt that the city was very deep, but when he first met Ling'er, he often heard her praise Ze Fengduo as an outstanding person. Perhaps it was because of Concubine Yi's recommendation that Shen Yixiang paid special attention to Ze Fengduo and promoted him.
to date.
"Being able to serve the emperor is a blessing I have earned in my previous life." Ze Fengduo always misunderstood that the emperor was worried about him. After all, he had grown up with the emperor's childhood sweetheart Ling'er. If Ze Fengduo hadn't introduced Ling'er
Give to Shenyi
Xiang, could he not have died unjustly like that? He had regretted it, but due to fate, even without his existence, Ling'er might have met Shen Yixiang. No matter how much he regretted or felt guilty about the past, it would be useless.
"Ai Qing is my close friend. I hope you and I can be kings and ministers for another half of our lives." Shen Yixiang was always a little wary when facing Ze Fengduo.
"Once you are a monarch and a subject, you will always be a monarch and a subject. I will devote myself to the emperor for the rest of my life." Ze Fengduo rarely said such sensational words to Shen Yixiang.
"I am very touched by your sincerity. Please go and see Concubine Xuan when you have time. She has been busy with the prince's marriage recently and is tired and sick." Shen Yixiang rarely asked Ze Fengduo to visit Concubine Xuan. After all, there is a relationship between monarch and minister.
When talking about family relationships, it is inevitable that there is order between elders and young ones, but it is easy to be chaotic.
"I will take the emperor's words to heart." Ze Fengduo responded sincerely. He had indeed not seen Concubine Xuan for a long time. Concubine Xuan returned to Ze Feng Mansion to see the old lady some time ago, and he happened to have something to miss.
"By the way, don't forget to check up on Liang Yin's secret story." Shen Yixiang reminded.
"Well, I will definitely get to the bottom of it." Ze Fengduo said with certainty.
"Don't worry too much. Just check it out when you have time. If there are any problems, just hand them over to the Zongcha Mansion." Shen Yixiang was not in the mood to worry about the minutiae.
"I sincerely follow your majesty's teachings, and I will take my leave." Ze Fengduo left in a hurry. He wanted to go to Dugu Ruyuan and ask for clarification.
When Eunuch Su saw Ze Fengduo leaving, he dared to inform Shen Yixiang of the news, "Your Majesty, the envoy has arrived."
"What's the situation?" Shen Yixiang asked anxiously.
"The envoy was almost collapsed when he was first discovered. If the third prince hadn't rescued him in time, I'm afraid the envoy's life would have been in great danger." Eunuch Su said kindly on behalf of the third prince.
"The bumps along the way didn't make it more serious, right?" Shen Yixiang was afraid that the envoy would not be able to withstand the fatigue of the journey and make his condition worse.
"The situation is not optimistic. According to the emperor's instructions, I have summoned several old doctors from the Renyi Hall to jointly treat him." Eunuch Su did not dare to delay for a moment. He led the doctors to stay at the Renyi Hall early, waiting for him to be sent to the hospital.
As soon as the minister entered the palace, he was treated.
"Come with me and have a look." Shen Yixiang wanted to see it with his own eyes for peace of mind.
"Your Majesty, if you are tired, you should rest first. All the imperial doctors have superb medical skills, and they will definitely be able to cure the envoy if they work together. Your Majesty, don't think too much, otherwise you will waste your energy and hurt your body." Eunuch Su persuaded, and he saw the envoy's heartbeat.
After he was stable, he hurriedly came to report to the emperor.
"What can the imperial doctor say is the cause of the disease?" Shen Yixiang didn't know that the envoy suffered physical and flesh pain.
"It must have been that he was whipped and tortured. The envoy had no choice but to speak and said that he was Jin Ge's envoy." Eunuch Su felt that Jin Ge's envoy not only suffered external injuries, but his weakness was more likely to be caused by internal injuries.
"That means the bandits didn't want one hundred thousand taels of gold." Shen Yixiang felt very strange.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, revealed your identity just to save your life. The bandits took advantage of the situation and made a killing." Eunuch Su understood that the emperor was not feeling sorry for Yin Liang, and that peace between the two countries was the best protection for his subjects.
"This is the fact that the third prince has found out? Did he say anything else?" Shen Yixiang just wanted the envoy to get better quickly so that he could be escorted back to Jinge.
"This is the news I got from asking the guards who sent the envoy back. The envoy and his entourage of seven or eight people died on his own. Alas~" Eunuch Su sighed regretfully.
"Where's Shuo'er? Didn't he send a secret message saying that he would come back with the envoy?" Shen Yixiang hoped to hear Shen Yishuo's report to him with his own ears.
"I heard from the transporter that the third prince is still investigating the case thoroughly in Liangzhou. He said he will never come back until the investigation is done. He doesn't want to betray the emperor's trust in him." Eunuch Su said good things for the third prince again.
"Surui, please send an urgent letter to Jin Ge first, detailing the fact that the general was found." Shen Yixiang did not want there to be a gap between Da Zhou and Jin Ge.
"Your Majesty, this old slave is incompetent. I don't know how to describe the envoy's injury?" Eunuch Su asked for instructions.
"King Jin Ge will not sit still and wait for death. Just state the injury truthfully in the letter. If the envoy is unharmed, he can be sent directly back to Jin Ge without having to go back to the imperial capital." Shen Yixiang had the impression that King Jin Ge was a humble man.
A kind person.
