This result was beyond everyone's expectations.
The news was kept secret and they only said that he was sick.
After all, the Queen Mother of a country cannot tolerate the deceased emperor...If this gets out, it will be no small matter.
Yan Shiyue went to the palace to visit and heard that Nanny Shou was so scared that she went crazy and kept saying "retribution, retribution"... and then she was secretly executed.
Many people died quietly in the Cining Palace, leaving only Nanny Xiang, who looked like a saw-mouthed gourd, to take care of the empress dowager.
When the old prince had a stroke, thanks to Yan Shiyue's wine, he had almost no sequelae.
But the empress dowager lived a life of luxury, walking less and less every day. Even after taking medicine in time, her mouth and eyes were still crooked, and half of her body was unable to move. When Yan Shiyue approached to talk to her, her eyes did not even move, as if she did not understand at all.
After meeting him once, Yan Shiyue felt mentally balanced.
The wicked got the punishment they deserved!
At this time, Emperor Ming Yan listened to the imperial physician's diagnosis with a gloomy face.
...
...
After a while, he said to the queen, "I summon my fourteenth brother back to visit him."
It sounds like you're already prepared for the worst.
The queen responded in a low voice.
Although the late emperor had many children, not many of them survived. The reason why the empress dowager was called the empress dowager... was because she could give birth.
The Empress Dowager gave birth to four sons for the late emperor: the eldest son, the third son, Emperor Mingyan, the seventh son, and the fourteenth son.
However, the eldest and seventh princes both died of smallpox. They were brothers from the same mother, so the only one left was Prince Ke, the fourteenth prince, who was the governor of Jizhou.
Prince Ke was fifteen years younger than Emperor Mingyan, so old that they could be father and son. However, Prince Ke was a carefree person, so the two brothers did not have a close relationship and he had not returned to Chang'an for more than ten years.
Because of the Queen Mother's illness, this year was very dull.
The only thing worth celebrating was that Huo Qijing was conferred the title of Prince Rong, a title that would be passed down for three generations.
Being crowned a king is a good thing, but when I think about the fact that this title was given because of the dumplings and rice cakes incident, and that Emperor Ming Yan wanted to make up for it, so he promoted the title before the matter was resolved, I can't be happy anymore.
After the Chinese New Year, Yan Shiyue asked people to renovate the martial arts training ground and build a workshop so that if there were any problems, they could be handled nearby.
By February, everyone was saying that Prince Ke was coming back.
Emperor Ming Yan only said one sentence to his brother in private: "You wrote me six letters in the eleventh year, each of which was less than a hundred words, and each letter asked for silver!"
Okay, she understood it in one sentence.
Just by listening to the title, you can tell Emperor Ming Yan's attitude and this person's temperament.
Prince Ke, "Ke" means respectful and cautious, which shows that this younger brother is not very reliable.
There is also Prince Dun, who adopted the third prince. "Dun" means honest and sincere, which means that this person may be a little cunning.
Compared to his other brothers, such as Prince Xin, whom she has never met, he is completely different.
When she returned home, she asked about Linlang, and Linlang sighed, "This prince is truly a freak."
When Emperor Ming Yan ascended the throne, he was still a little kid. It is said that he secretly brought wine at night and poured it on the tablet of the previous emperor, saying that he wanted to invite his father to drink... This caused a huge uproar. Fortunately, he was young and was able to resolve the matter without being punished.
When Emperor Ming Yan first ascended the throne, the ruler was weak and the ministers were strong, so he had a hard time taking each step. Then, once again, he pointed out in front of the court officials that Emperor Yan was not sincere and said, "You obviously hate him, so why do you still pretend to trust him? What a hypocrite!"
In short, there are countless things like this that happen in private, but he still thinks he is right and refuses to admit his mistakes no matter what.
Emperor Ming Yan was always so angry that he was exhausted.
But he couldn’t kill his own brother, so Emperor Ming Yan simply acknowledged him and took advantage of his personality to set up two traps for him… After he realized it, he stopped talking and as he grew older, he spent all day wandering around outside.
This man is probably known as a fool in the palace and the court.
However, many people among the people say that he is a good person because he helps the elderly and the poor, and often gives up his own meals for others without caring about anything in return.
Later, he finally grew up, and the Queen Mother wanted to arrange a marriage for him. He kept clamoring for a very beautiful woman, so the Queen Mother carefully selected a very beautiful woman. He did not agree at first, but after seeing the girl, he agreed.
The Queen Mother was quite pleased, but she never expected that the next day he would disguise himself as a beggar with bald spots on his head and lie down on the way to burn incense to the young lady. When he saw her coming, he would pounce on her. Naturally, the young lady screamed and dodged, and asked someone to beat him away.
Then he lifted his hair, revealing a dirty face, and said to her: "I am the fourteenth prince of the emperor. Since you look down on me as a beggar, then it is obvious that you want to marry me not for me as a person, but for the word royal. Then you might as well enter the palace! Why marry me!"
Then he walked away.
The girl was forced by him to enter the family temple and remained unmarried for the rest of her life.
Linlang sighed, "I still remember that girl. Her name was nice, Chu Xueru. She was truly a beauty. What a pity."
Yan Shiyue was completely speechless after hearing this.
What kind of a naughty child is this? Do you know what it means to be well-matched? She dresses up as a beggar, and a beggar with a bald head. She won't accept it even if you call her! Even if you are joking, don't make such a disgusting joke!
She was convinced, really convinced.
She really felt sorry for Emperor Ming Yan of that time for having such a terrible brother.
Well, wait for him to come back and comfort the Queen Mother. She should be happy... right?
Many old ministers were obviously impressed by this prince, but Prince Ke, who was talked about repeatedly by everyone, should have arrived a long time ago, but he has not returned yet.
Yan Shiyue was worried about Emperor Ming Yan and often went to the palace. He also heard Emperor Ming Yan sneer and say, "He said he is not a doctor. It doesn't matter if he comes back a few days earlier or later. So there is no need to rush. Bring some specialties to sell."
Yan Shiyue: “…”
She went over to massage Emperor Ming Yan's shoulders out of sympathy.
She felt that Emperor Ming Yan probably felt annoyed when talking about his younger brother...
Even a political idiot like her knows that if the Queen Mother really did that, it is not impossible for Emperor Ming Yan to kill his brother...
After all, all the civil and military officials in the court thought that this person had no need to live! But this person obviously had no sense of crisis at all, and he wanted to do business by the way? From the perspective of filial piety, it really makes people speechless!
Yan Shiyue is now very good at identifying acupuncture points. She pinches shoulders and presses the acupuncture points, which is quite comfortable. Emperor Ming Yan's expression gradually relaxes, but he is thinking about what was written in Prince Ke's letter.
Prince Ke has also been keen on doing business since he was young, so when he said he was doing business, Emperor Ming Yan would scold him. Why didn't he scold Yan Shiyue for doing business?
If this guy stood in front of him, Emperor Ming Yan would scold him to death.
Don't you see how much money my daughter has made for the national treasury? What about you? You've almost lost the Queen Mother's private treasury. How dare you say you're doing business?
