Chapter 387: Duke Xuan of Qi Has Rebellious Intentions
Duke Xuan of Qi felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.
His ambition was actually stuck on this kind of thing.
Duke Xuan of Qi was so angry that he said, "Doctor, can't you think of another way to treat this minor illness? Aren't you afraid that the Queen will blame you?"
If his 400,000-strong army could not be moved because of this little thing, he would be so angry that he would die in his sleep in the middle of the night.
The imperial physician was almost crying: "My Lord, there is no medicine at all. Even if you kill me, I can't save you."
Isn't this embarrassing?
"you!"
Duke Xuan of Qi pointed at the imperial physician and said for a long time: "It's just medicinal herbs, wait a minute."
He called for his horse and rushed to the harem at the fastest speed.
The queen was originally in a good mood, but her face turned sour when she saw him: "This is the harem after all, so we still have to avoid suspicion. If possible, please don't come so often."
Duke Xuan of Qi didn't care about these things.
He looked impatiently into the Queen's Palace and said, "Don't we still have a lot of gold and silver? Take it all out quickly. I need to buy some medicinal herbs."
Others don’t have money, but the Qi Xuanhou Mansion does.
Over the years, they have hidden countless wealth for their grand plans.
The tunnel outside Fanzhou is one of them.
He told about his experience in the military camp today.
The Queen's face darkened: "No."
Duke Xuan of Qi was anxious: "Why not? That's 400,000 soldiers. For our great plan, are you still worried about spending this little money?"
"Is this a problem of money? There's not much money left even in the imperial palace these days. All the major families are being targeted by thieves, and our Qi Xuanhou Mansion is no exception."
The Queen sat on a wide chair, clutching the armrests tightly. "If you suddenly took out so much money to buy medicinal herbs at this moment, wouldn't you expose the Marquis's Mansion directly to everyone?"
Duke Xuan of Qi calmed down and thought of this.
He was so anxious that he was pacing around in the hall: "It has come to this point. We can't just give up the 400,000 troops we have."
Such a difficult problem left the queen, who always prided herself on her intelligence, at a loss.
She gritted her teeth and said, "There's only one way now. I can take a risk and try it."
She looked at Duke Xuan of Qi, her eyes gleaming sharply. "Everyone's having a tough time right now. Go back to the barracks and offer some benefits to those who are sick. Move the troops out of the city first, and when they're far enough away from the capital, go buy medicine elsewhere. You'll have more to say then."
The Queen explained carefully, but she was still a little worried: "When you promise benefits, be more subtle. Anyone who is not a fool should understand."
I was afraid that Duke Xuan of Qi would go over and directly talk about the benefits.
If this matter gets to the emperor's ears, it will definitely cause disaster.
Duke Xuan of Qi's eyes lit up: "As expected, you are extremely intelligent."
Watching him leave so quickly, the queen felt inexplicably irritated.
What happened in the past six months?
Everything in the family is going wrong. It's rare for something good to happen, and trouble always arises.
Duke Xuan of Qi rode back to the military camp without stopping.
Seeing that the imperial physician was still there, he ordered with a serious attitude: "Since the imperial physician is unable to treat the disease, please return to the palace and report as soon as possible."
This disdainful tone made the imperial physician feel suffocated and stuffy.
After he left, Duke Xuan of Qi looked at someone impatiently and said, "State affairs cannot be delayed.
Everyone, if you are willing to follow me out of the capital today, I promise that I can cure you and give you a generous reward."
These people train so hard, but their allowance is so little.
The generous reward from the mouth of the Marquis did not make them ecstatic.
Unexpectedly, the person closest to the curtain suddenly raised his neck and said in a loud voice: "My Lord, we are loyal to Da Sheng and are willing to sacrifice our lives for the people of the world. How can we be bribed by your thousand taels of silver?"
Moreover, Dasheng is in a period of depression. Since the Marquis has such a huge fortune, why not give it to Your Majesty to help you win?
Please think twice, my Lord."
As soon as the words fell, the rest of the people, as if they had discussed it beforehand, said in unison: "Please think twice, my Lord!"
Duke Xuan of Qi only felt his ears buzzing and his head was a little dizzy from the noise.
Why can a group of sick people shout so vigorously?
The old doctor's face changed just a few steps away, and he looked towards the tent in surprise and suspicion.
What's going on?
His Majesty the Emperor is almost eating pickles every meal, and Duke Xuan of Qi is still trying to buy people's hearts and force the army to go out with his millions of wealth.
In the palace.
The news that all the generals in the army fell ill had long reached the emperor's ears, and he was anxiously waiting for the imperial physician's reply.
The imperial physician carried the pretentious medicine box and went to see the emperor as soon as he returned to the palace.
"Your Majesty, the generals' illnesses are not serious. It's just that there is no medicine available. They will recover after a period of rest."
The emperor's few remaining imperial qualities had been almost exhausted by the repeated wasting of time in the past six months.
Hearing this, he flew into a rage: "Where else can we rest at this hour? Why at this hour?"
If we wait any longer, I'm afraid that group of barbarians will attack the palace.
But myrrh is really myrrh.
The imperial physician hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
The emperor glanced at him coldly and said, "If your tongue is useless, I will take it for you."
The imperial physician shuddered and knelt down hastily: "When I left the army, I vaguely heard that Duke Xuan of Qi wanted to reward the generals with a large sum of money.
He also promised them that if they went to the battlefield despite being sick, each of them would receive a thousand taels of silver.
I think if this money can be used to buy medicinal herbs, it will be enough to treat the disease."
The emperor's face darkened.
Almost squeezed out a few words from between teeth: "What did you say?"
Didn't the Duke Xuan of Qi's mansion also get robbed?
very good.
Everyone has bigger ambitions.
"Investigate the Qixuanhou Mansion thoroughly for me!"
The emperor's face was terribly gloomy.
Being poor is not hateful. What is terrible is that the ministers who are in the same situation as him pretend to be poor in front of him.
When he thought about how he was eating pickles in the palace while this minister, who had a mountain of gold, was laughing at him behind his back, he felt like a clown.
I can't stand it at all.
Duke Xuan of Qi was still in the barracks, trying to persuade the generals to send troops.
The emperor's imperial guards have raided the mansion of Marquis Xuan of Qi.
The entire mansion was turned upside down.
Not much was found, only three or two pieces of jewelry and a dozen or so taels of silver.
Looks very poor.
At first glance, there's no problem.
The emperor thought he was mistaken and was about to punish the imperial physician, but the person in charge of the search looked hesitant and said, "Your Majesty, there is one thing I cannot confirm.
Among the jewelry pieces in the Qi Xuanhou Mansion, there was a gold hairpin, which seemed to be one of the two that were sold at a high price at the auction.
I was once ordered to investigate this matter and have some impressions."
The emperor narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, "Take the hairpin to the prison and show it to Wang Fugui."
Those two ordinary hairpins were sold at a sky-high price at the auction house.
One fell into Wang Fugui's hands, and the other was snatched away by a minister.
How come you are now in Qi Xuanhou Mansion?
