AWB Chapter 103 The Quest of the Inchworm.
Chapter 103 The Quest of the Inchworm.
The emperor coughed up blood, and the envoys from neighboring countries instantly turned into idlers and were left alone.
King Yuanning, Chen Xingning and Buge surrounded the emperor and boarded the carriage, and they were going to move Shengjia to the imperial study nearby.
In other words, the emperor took care of Bangyi and ordered Chen Xingning: "Send the envoy back to rest..."
Unexpectedly, Bai Yuan said: "Your Majesty, this old man has a little knowledge of medical skills. If my king knows that this old man is going back like this, he will definitely blame him. Why don't we let this old man go with us and try our best."
As an envoy from a neighboring country, this is actually extremely inappropriate.
Sure enough, before Bai Zhou could speak, Chen Xingning said, "The envoy is more polite." After speaking, he stood between Bai Zhou and Bai Yuan, and made a gesture of invitation.He signaled the officials beside him to see the guests out of the palace.
Seeing that the eviction order was issued, Bai Yuan remained unmoved, the atmosphere gradually became awkward, and Bai Tian said: "Xing Ning..."
Chen Xingning immediately turned around and saluted.
"I'm a broken body. I feel uncomfortable every day. The world knows it. There is no need to hide it. If the envoy is willing to wait a while, please invite him to sit in the small hall of the Imperial Study Room."
He coughed again.
Of course Bai Zhou didn't believe it, Bai Yuan got Tu Ajia's instruction.He clearly knew that Peng Qi was going to fight with his back today, and wanted to find out the reality of the emperor's body and King Yuanning's loyalty to him.
In the inner hall of the imperial study, King Yuanning took the pulse during the day, and his originally tense expression gradually eased, and then turned into puzzlement.The ingredients that Peng Qi added to the fire would indeed stimulate the toxicity of the long-ringed snake that remained in the body during the day.
But Peng Qi didn't know that the toxins in the emperor's body had been removed to the very last, and the effect of the medicine was negligible.
The oily tattoos on his neck that warned him not to be angry have all but disappeared lately.
Bai Tian coughed just now because his viscera were weaker than ordinary people after all, and he would feel uncomfortable when stimulated by smoke and dust.
But... where did the blood foam come from?
After four back-and-forth examinations with both hands, the prince finally felt relieved and asked, "Is there something wrong with you? Open your mouth, and I'll take a look at your throat."
There was no one else around, Bai Tian lowered his voice, snickered and said, "I lied to them, a little blood froth, just a little bit of skin in the mouth will be there."
Ok……
It is indeed something that can be done during the day.
King Yuanning pinched his eyebrows.
After a moment of respite, he told Bai Tian what happened in Le Xi Tang just now, and Bai Tian did not speak for a long time.
"What's wrong?" the prince asked.
Bai Zhou pondered: "If you think about it in an extreme direction... I'm afraid that Bai Yuan not only wants to get rid of Peng Qi with the help of you and me, but also tempts you."
Bai Tian is not very old, but he has been trained from a pile of human essence, and he understands a truth: as long as a person is not a lunatic, he will have a set of logic and motivation that ordinary people can understand when doing things.Moreover, these logics will definitely conform to this person's consistent style of doing things.
Thinking of Bai Yuan, when he suddenly encountered great changes in the court, no matter whether he was forced or not, it is a fact that he did not hesitate to destroy his appearance and kill his two sons to survive.
He was originally Dayao's prince, but he became a prince with a different surname in one dynasty, the gap can be imagined.
Then he was sealed off to the frontier, and then feigned death, dormant in Funan.
How forbearing and stern is this person's temperament.
Yuan Ning Wang said: "Since I learned that he was coming to Dayao, I sent people to follow him secretly, and found that he had his own hidden dead servant, even with the skill of the jade man, I lost track of him several times..."
Bai Zhou smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay."
As he said that, he called Bu Ge to come in, and said: "Go and draw up a decree. I am not in good health when I come in, and I need to recuperate. Let Yuan Ning Wang supervise the country. All matters, big or small, are left to the prince."
Bugo was taken aback for a moment, showing a worried look, and said: "Your Majesty...you..."
Bai Tian pretended to cough twice, and said in a flat voice: "Do as I want."
Bugo didn't dare to say anything more, so he withdrew.
King Yuanning is not good at politics, but he is smart.He understood the original intention of doing this during the day.
In the game of power and calculation, it has never been the safest to occupy a seemingly one-sided advantage.
The so-called "the bend of the inchworm is to seek trust and extension", and it is the intention of the day to seek extension by bending and advance by retreat.Since Bai Yuan already suspects that King Yuanning has a double heart for him and tries to test him, it is better to make him seem to have taken a big step away from his goal. This will not only protect King Yuanning, but also not force him to jump over the wall in a hurry. Too extreme means.
But this matter needs to be measured, and the beauty of the pie in the sky is easy to alert people.
"Actually..." King Yuanning was a little hesitant, he scratched his brows, as if he hadn't decided what to say.
Bai Zhou frowned, and couldn't help but smile at him.
He seldom showed such a look, what an unspeakable thing must have made him so hesitant.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't see him muster up the courage to speak, but he hesitated more and more. Finally, with great kindness, Bai Tian said, "Tell me, what is there between you and me that is hard to say?"
King Yuanning pursed his lips, took out an envelope from his arms, and handed it to Bai Tian.
It is quite thick when pinched.
"Hey, is this a love letter from some girl?" Without forgetting to tease the prince, he opened the envelope during the day.
But I saw that it was not a letter, but a thick stack of approval documents and business licenses filed by many pharmacies in the government.Looking at the addresses, they are distributed in the counties and counties on both sides of the Yangtze River. The names of the registered shopkeepers are Lei Baier, Mu Yibai, Ling Zhong, and Shao Hua.
Leaving aside whether these people are real names or pseudonyms, if the certificates are all in the hands of the prince, it is obvious who the big boss is behind the scenes.
"It was just sent back by the jade man today, and there are still two or three batches in progress."
Bai Zhou said: "Okay, my lord, are you going to monopolize Yao's medicine market?"
King Yuanning smiled back, squatted down in front of Bai Tian, and looked down into a slight upward look, making the light flowing in his eyes extra gentle, and the prince said: "If one day, you are tired and want to leave Here, this is our retreat."
Bai Tian was a little surprised, he never thought that the prince would plan such things for him.
In his daily medication, there are a few precious and rare herbs. As an emperor, it is nothing. If one day, they hide among the people, this one alone is too eye-catching.
Now, the prince has a lot of pharmacies in his hands, which is different.
In King Yuanning's view, he and Bai Tian didn't have to stay in this power vortex, but he never thought of forcing the other party to leave.
Because he understands the daytime, if this person digs a brick for one thing, he will be unable to stop. In essence, he is always competing with himself.
Therefore, he needs to prepare something in advance.
Thinking about it, calculating people's thoughts, he probably can't help Bai Tian, but at least he must have enough confidence to take him away on the day when Bai Tian wants to leave, keep him safe, and give him prosperity.
This kind of intention, of course, understands during the day.
His heart will be warmed by Yuan Ning Wang.
Repacking the voucher into the envelope and stuffing it back into the prince's arms, the feeling was deep, but I didn't know what to say, a "thank you" was too light to put here.
He held up half of the prince's cheek, and pressed it against his forehead at a short distance away, slowly closed his eyes during the day, and finally said nothing.
The lord pampered him, but there was one thing, the lord thought about it—it's not that he didn't think about leaving during the day.
He managed to survive, so why not have a good time with his Dr. Jane?
It's just that from the point of view of the day, he and Jian Lanyuan are now inseparably entangled with the two original owners.The grievances between these two people are infinitely magnified by their special identities, and if there is a slight difference, the impact will be immeasurable.
What's more, although the daytime doesn't hurt the spring and autumn, but there is a stubborn and delicate side in his character, there should be an end to this matter, for him and the prince to live comfortably, and for those who are deeply suffocated in the vortex of power people.
Bai Jing, Li Jiu, Bai Yuan, Peng Qi, Xia Sixing...
The experiencers and victims of these hatreds and tragedies have evolved into new misfortunes for different purposes.
It's time for this dreadful cycle to end.
"There are a few things, you should arrange to do them as soon as possible," Bai Tian said, "Let's settle it quickly."
He briefly explained a few things, and just as the topic was about to end, Bu Ge came again, saying that the poet of Funan Kingdom had come to visit.
Bai Zhou and Wang Ye looked at each other - sure enough, they came.
When Bai Yuan entered the palace, he was very courteous, and as expected, he said that his medical skills were not bad, and wanted to diagnose the emperor's pulse.
Bai Tian lazily agreed, and even though he got the pulse on his wrist, he sincerely didn't believe that Bai Yuan's medical skills were better than his Doctor Jian, and said with great disdain: "It is enough for my body to be taken care of by Qing Lan. I have never seen anyone whose medical skills are better than his."
Bai Yuan made a diagnosis for a while, then agreed: "It is true that this old man has been entrusted to him, the prince's medical skills are indeed many times better than this old man's." After speaking, he wanted to return to the post house to report.
Bai Tian casually said: "I have become more and more lazy recently, and the power of supervising the country has been handed over to King Yuanning. I heard that the king came this time to discuss something? Please take the message back, sir, and let the king and Qing It's enough for Lan to discuss." After that, he reclined on the couch without regard for his manners, and said: "Qing Lan, you are so kind as to send Mr. back home. I have also left the affairs of Ningde Hall to you."
King Yuanning bowed to accept the order.
I saw Bai Zhou yawned, and said: "There are always people who want to harm me, but we can't let him die quickly."
----------
Five days later, Tu Ajia, king of Funan, brought a group of courtiers to congratulate the monarch of Shang Kingdom.
The ceremony was held in the Zhaixing Pavilion, almost the same as the court meeting, and all officials above the third rank participated.
However, not only the ministers of Funan, but also the ministers of Yao Kingdom did not expect that after the auspicious time, the emperor would still not be seen in the palace, and the dragon chair would be empty.
The right to oversee the country is given to King Yuanning, but the emperor is not so sick that he can't get out of bed, right? Diplomatic rituals should always be recorded.
King Yuanning went to urge him to invite him, so he got a verbal order: If you don't come, follow the rules and take good care of the guests.
After Bugo delivered the decree, he hurried back to serve the emperor.
The people in the Zhaixing Pavilion left behind, with different expressions.
Tu Ajia stood up and bowed to Yuanning, said: "Your Majesty wants the prince to supervise the country, and the minister has another purpose for coming to congratulate Xiaoguo, so the minister said it bluntly."
The civil strife in Funan was about to surface, and before the situation got out of hand, Tu Ajia personally asked Yao for reinforcements under Chao He's order.
Yuan Ning Wang said: "Even if this king supervises the country, it is difficult to control the military power. Since Funan has not been peaceful recently, it is better for the king to stay in my Dayao temporarily, and make a decision after your majesty's dragon body is healthy."
Tu Ajia couldn't sit still for a while, and almost jumped up against the case: "Your Majesty asked the biography poet to bring me a message a few days ago, saying that everything is up to you to decide, and now you two are pushing each other, what is your intention? Since I, Funan, If you profess your ministership to Dayao, Dayao should give you a helping hand, Your Majesty's dragon body is not healthy, I don't know how long it will take to cultivate, even if I can wait, the people in Funan can't afford me to waste here!"
Seeing that the words were about to froze, the Minister of Honglu Temple was about to make a rescue, King Yuanning slightly stretched out his hand to him, and stopped his movement.
Turning to Tu Ajia again, he asked with a smile that was not a smile: "Now in Funan, there is no war, no disease, and the weather is smooth and peaceful. How can this king believe your one-sided words? Is it because the people can't stand the waste, or is it because the king is fighting against power?" Can't the obsession with status be wasted?"
As soon as these words came out, no one did not turn their attention.
