Seeing his irritable look, Emperor Jing frowned and said, "Anything else? If not, go back and rest early."
"Oh, there is one more thing. Liu Jin went to talk to Eunuch Guo at night and fainted in the middle of the conversation."
"The Imperial Hospital has examined him and he has been sent back to the hospital for recuperation."
Emperor Jing was puzzled and asked, "When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"
Li Yuanzhao acted as if nothing had happened: "It happened not long ago. I heard about it from Liu Jin on the way."
Liu Jin echoed, "Yes, Eunuch Guo was talking to me when he suddenly ran out of energy and passed out, but it's not a big deal."
Emperor Jing thought blankly for a while and sighed.
"That's right. Guo Banban is old. Let's order the Imperial Hospital to give him some more supplements so that he can rest for a while."
"Father, someone in the East Palace gave me some top-quality ginseng. I find it hard to drink, so why not give it to him?"
"There's no need to bother the Imperial Hospital. I'll find someone to make it and send it to him directly when I get back. Otherwise it would be a waste to leave it there."
Emperor Jing looked at Li Yuanzhao with relief: "Okay, I'll do as you said... The prince knows how to be considerate. Fang Qing taught you well. You don't have to worry about him. I will ask him to come back after the storm has passed. If you have nothing else, you can leave first. I am still busy."
Li Yuanzhao grinned and said, "I'll take my leave now!"
After greeting, Li Yuanzhao hurried back to the palace with Liu Jin.
When I arrived at the bedroom, I saw that Guo Tianyang had woken up and was tied up like a dumpling.
Seeing Li Yuanzhao enter the room, he looked at Li Yuanzhao with horror in his eyes and kept whimpering.
Li Yuanzhao casually pulled out the guard's knife, put it to Guo Tianyang's chest and said with a smile: "I asked you to speak, you can't scream, if someone hears, I will stab you with this knife!"
"Wuwuwuwuwu!! Ugh!" Guo Tianyang was about to cry and nodded vigorously, like a giant wriggling silkworm cocoon.
He has to suffer this kind of torture at this age. It seems that the imperial seal must have been stolen by the prince!
How dare you do such a thing!
The cloth stuffed in his mouth was taken out, and Guo Tianyang immediately took a deep breath.
Begging for mercy: "Your Highness!! Your Highness, what are you doing? What did this old slave do wrong?"
With the knife still against his chest, Li Yuanzhao smiled like a devil: "Write a few imperial edicts for me."
What! Forged imperial edict! ! ?
Guo Tianyang suddenly felt an electric shock throughout his body, wishing that the prince would really stab him to death.
He shook his head frantically and said, "No! Absolutely not! Absolutely not without your Majesty's order. Your Highness might as well kill me!"
"A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!"
Li Yuanzhao didn't care and sneered, "No, someone once told me that a scholar can be humiliated but not killed!"
"If you are not afraid of death, then I will insult you to death!"
"First I'll pluck all the hair off your body, then I'll strip you naked and hang you on the city wall! And I'll put it in the newspapers!"
Guo Tianyang felt disheartened and his eyes were blank.
Only the damned Fang Zhengyi could say such shameless words. How can he still be so disgusting after he has already left? The prince has gone astray! !
Gradually, Guo Tianyang began to cry.
She said in a plaintive voice, "Your Highness! Have you ever thought about His Majesty when you do this?"
Li Yuanzhao shamelessly said: "Of course! I am doing this for his own good. The country is free from war. Father no longer has the momentum he once had!"
"If I don't push him, he won't know how much potential he has!"
So filial!
Guo Tianyang closed his eyes in pain.
"Come on, untie him. Eunuch Guo is old, and you still tie him up so tightly. It's really too much!"
The guards on both sides, with bitter faces, went up to untie Guo Tianyang.
When the rope fell to the ground, Guo Tianyang's face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum shape. The coolness from his neck told him that the prince seemed to be serious.
Damn it! Fang Zhengyi deserves death! The prince is so crooked that he has no boundaries!
In the past, playing with tigers and leopards was enough! Now they are so bold that they even forged the imperial edict!
Guo Tianyang was driven to the table with a knife on his neck and sat down obediently.
On the table, the seal and the blank imperial edict were already placed, with a lot of white paper placed next to them.
"If I write, I'll die. If I don't write, I'll die. What else is there to think about now?"
"Write it, and put the blame on me for everything. I have already told my father that you are seriously ill and recuperating in your room."
"I copied your handwriting to write the imperial edict! I was the only one who stole the seal! Don't worry!"
Guo Tianyang swallowed bitterly and said in a hoarse voice: "What to write?"
"He ordered the construction of Jiang Prefecture, Lin Prefecture, and Yunlu Prefecture, and ordered the renovation of government offices in the three prefectures, the repair of temples, and the start of large-scale construction projects."
"And encourage feasting and entertainment, and encourage people to build houses! You can polish the details, as long as the meaning is conveyed."
Guo Tianyang closed his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, this is absolutely not feasible. People all over the world are discussing it. His Majesty has already said it at the court meeting!"
"Moreover, His Majesty has never liked Buddhism. Now that we are building many temples... His Majesty will definitely be furious! Your Highness, it doesn't matter if I die! You have to think about yourself!"
Li Yuanzhao had a blank expression on his face and snorted coldly: "Consider? What are you considering!"
"No matter how many temples there are in the world, I can build them or make them disappear overnight!"
"Even if the reputation is bad, it can still be improved! The newspaper is in my hands. The people of the world are confused for a while, and I will make them understand!"
"But once a person's life is gone, it's really gone. Even if my father has all the power in the world, can he bring someone back to life?"
“Write now!”
Guo Tianyang stared at Li Yuanzhao blankly, with a gleam of light in his eyes.
Alike! Very alike! The prince now looks exactly like Your Majesty when he was young.
Unruly and arrogant, as if all the rules and regulations in the world cannot restrict him...
It’s just that the prince this time is more outrageous and bolder!
Guo Tianyang sighed, lowered his head silently and began to write.
Soon the imperial edict was completed, with only the seal left to be stamped. Guo Tianyang was about to stamp it out of habit.
Li Yuanzhao immediately stopped him: "No need! I will seal it myself, just write a few more identical copies!"
Guo Tianyang was dumbfounded: "Why is this happening?"
Li Yuanzhao showed his two rows of white teeth: "One decree is not enough, we need three in a row! Local officials will not doubt my father's will, otherwise they will write to inquire, and a lot of time will be wasted in the back and forth."
Guo Tianyang had given up struggling, picked up the pen and started writing again.
Is there any difference between one question and a hundred? It's a death sentence anyway! Write it!
After finishing several lines, Guo Tianyang looked at Li Yuanzhao tiredly: "Is it done?"
Li Yuanzhao looked at the written imperial edict and smiled with satisfaction.
Then I took the seal and stamped them all!
After the imperial edict was rolled up, Li Yuanzhao pushed the white paper on the table in front of Guo Tianyang.
"Keep writing... Write each one in a sloppy way. It's best to imitate my handwriting, so that the emperor won't suspect you..."
