Chapter 14 Patience

"Isn't it time yet?" In the empty hall, Ji Shen muttered and broke the silence. He stood up, walked back and forth a few steps in front of the couch, and then asked in a low voice, "What does this mean? Could it be that I was almost assassinated? The scholar in the hall has suffered from the forbidden middle-generation king, and I still have to pay attention to the time to investigate?

Nie Yuansheng's voice is still weak, but extremely calm: "Not bad!"

Ji Shen's eyes were sharp: "Third it!"

"Since ancient times, there has been a direct one, and there is no direct subordinate, which is orthodox." Nie Yuansheng asked faintly, "Although your majesty is the legitimate son, he is the youngest son. Dare to ask your majesty, if there is no protection of the emperor, how can your majesty be today? If there is no painstaking guard of the people left by Gaozu, how can Your Majesty keep it today?

This is very rebellious, even though he is deeply trusted by Ji. When Ji heard this, she couldn't help showing anger: "Are you saying that I am useless and rely on the kindness of my ancestors?"

"Your Majesty has taken the throne so far, but in seven years, the two families of Qu and Gao have experienced several dynasties and are deeply rooted!" Nie Yuansheng did not panic and said leisurely, "At the beginning, King Anping asked the head of the county as the daughter of a concubine, and I didn't dare to say much, but... It was for your majesty's consideration that I wanted to prevent your majesty from making a big move to pursue today!"

King Anping asked for a concubine's daughter... Thinking of what happened two years ago, Ji Shen gradually calmed down, went to the stool and sat down on the couch, and said in a low voice, "Yuansheng said bluntly that there is no one else here. You and I have grown up together since childhood. If those words came from others, I have already been dealt with by others, but you are different. Let's talk about fate. Therefore!"

"Your Majesty, has the ink in the imperial study been checked?" Nie Yuansheng suddenly asked about another matter. Ji Shen was stunned and then nodded, "Wei Niang just reminded me that I asked Rong Jian to look at it." His face darkened in an instant, "The ink there is the best as the one that harmed you!"

Ji said deeply, "The imperial study has been mixed in by such a thing. Lei Mo is really useless!"

Nie Yuansheng said calmly: "Your Majesty put the memorial here for approval for only a few days. In the past few days, even because of the minister's replacement, it is not surprising that Zhuo Heng is here. It is not surprising that he stretched out his hand to the imperial study. After all, your majesty has not been in power for a long time, and the imperial study has neglected to pay attention in the past few years, taking advantage of the There is no chance to mix things in before adding the crown. But Your Majesty just moved the seal here, and the ink here has also been changed... Your Majesty, please think, who has such ability? Who has such courage?"

It was Ji Shen's idea to change the place of reading the medal from the imperial study to this side hall. His purpose is nothing more than two points. One point is to cover up Nie Yuansheng's writing. After all, the imperial study is closer to the outer court. Although it is appropriate to serve the study as a scholar in the middle school, there are many people and complicated eyes, and the old ministers are both. There are many famous and lifeless existences. They have been broken into the palace many times. What is it to break into a royal study?

Moving to this side hall, it is surrounded by servants who have served Ji Shen for many years, and there are Lei Mo and Zhuo Heng, who can hide Nie Yuansheng's criticism of the chapter most strictly. At the same time, this side hall is not far from Dongnuan Pavilion. Ji Shen takes advantage of Nie Yuansheng's circumstances to call the lucky concubines. If the courtiers ask for an emergency, he will have time to respond. Pay.

Just because the person who really criticizes the chapter diligently in the partial hall is actually Nie Yuansheng. This partial hall is guarded by Zhuo Heng himself. Even if a favorite concubine like Mu Biwei comes over, Zhuo Heng does not dare to leak it directly. In this case, he is still mixed in by poisonous ink, which is even more human. What shocked me was that Ji Shen changed his office space only a few days ago, and the person who secretly started was so fast! How can Ji Shen calm down?

"Hey! That's why I have to order a strict investigation!" Ji said in a deep voice.

"That's why Your Majesty can't do this." Nie Yuansheng narrowed his eyes and reminded him faintly, "Let's not talk about the ink in the imperial study. After all, your majesty only began to govern in May. Before that, there were several squares of ink stored in the old years in the imperial study. Because the collection was intact, it has always been used for the old ink. However, in the imperial study, most of them divided the chapters accumulated after Jiang Yao fell ill. In other words, there are not many times to write. At the end of May, because of the heat, the Empress Dowager Feng drove to the Hot Spring Mountain Palace to escape the summer. Not long ago, when she returned, His Majesty moved the place of review here... In such a short time, the poison ink has arrived here. Your Majesty, please think that since the poisoner dares to do it, how could he not think of being What will your Majesty perceive?"

Seeing that Ji Shen was thoughtful, Nie Yuansheng said, "If your majesty wants to thoroughly investigate this matter, you will naturally start from the close servant of the propaganda room. In addition to the close servant, the foreign ministers who have recently entered and out of the palace will also be investigated one by one, and the ministers are also among them." Nie Yuansheng waved his hand to stop Ji Shen's words and said slowly, "The so-called strong wind knows the strong grass and sees people's hearts over time. Your Majesty Rongchen said something to kill his heart. I have been in the palace to accompany you to study since I was a child. From Emperor Gaozu Emperor to the former emperor to the Empress Dowager, I think that I can see it from the sidelines. Emperor Gaozu naturally loves His Majesty the most. In the end, he even tried to protect His Majesty's position in front of the ministers!

"The wise and magical emperor did not love your majesty, otherwise how could he work hard for your majesty before his death? Although Jiang Yao and the plan are pedantic and stubborn, it is good that they have nothing to do with the harem, and they are also born in a family. With the order of assistance left by the former emperor, it is enough to compete with Qu and Gao, and will not let your majesty fall into the realm of a puppet!

"And the empress dowager is your majesty's biological mother, isn't she a mother?"

Speaking of this, Nie Yuansheng sighed again, "It's just your majesty, but it's not the only thing that the former emperor and the empress dowager came out!" Princess Xuanning is a woman, not to mention that the king of Anping, the eldest son, the former emperor personally taught reading and riding, and also married the empress dowager's niece as a concubine, the king of Guangling, the second son, and always the king's brother of your majesty. Since childhood, I still remember the envy of your majesty looking at the king of Guangling when she came to the empress dowager..."

Ji Shen kept silent. He was raised by Emperor Gaozu himself since he was a child, and his identity was detached. Not to mention that the emperors of his peers were interested in giving him, even those unfavored imperial uncles also made him a little points. However, although Emperor Gaozu conquered the world with one hand and created the foundation of the Ji family, he was a little happy in his later years. gong——

The original reason why Gaozu raised Ji Shen himself was that he was the best-looking among the royal family, but later he became the best he had to perform, so as not to break the face raised by Gao Zu himself. Although Ruizong was also a powerful person among the sons of Emperor Gaozu, this made most of the emperors and grandchildren not Dare to compete with Ji Shen easily, and more emperors and grandsons are also taught not to lose face to Gao Zu, so they will probably let him give way during the competition. However, Emperor Gaozu's own eyes are extraordinary, that is, without brothers to dismantle the stage and want to enter Gaozu's eyes, Ji Shen has suffered a lot.

What's more, although Gaozu can be called a benevolent ancestor, Ruizong's biological mother died early. Ji Shen was raised under Gaozu's knees, and his father or grandfather could be replaced, but he never enjoyed the care of his mother. When Emperor Gaozu died, he finally returned to the Empress Dowager Gao, but saw the Empress Dowager Gao. Although he can't say bad to himself, he is clearly closer to Princess Xuanning and the King of Guangling, and Nie Yuansheng said something unintentionally from time to time. It is really difficult for Ji Shen not to be jealous of his only sister and brother.

Otherwise, Ji Shen would not hate Princess Xuanning for several years just for a Fang Danyan.

"You mean... this assassination is my brother?" When this sentence was asked slowly, Ji Shen couldn't help feeling cold hands and feet!

Although he is greedy for pleasure and does not think about the government, he was born in the royal family and was painstakingly cultivated by the two emperors, Gaozu and Ruizong. He is almost instinctively vigilant about his throne!

King Anping and King Guangling, as Nie Yuansheng said, one is the eldest son and the other is the second son. In terms of patriarchal status, none of them is more qualified as a crown prince than Ji Shen, who is the youngest son.

What's more, in terms of reputation, King Anping is calm and old, King Guangling. Modest and elegant, when Ji Shen was only 13 years old when Ruizong died, even for the sake of the doubt of the Lord and the country, there is still reason to take over the throne!

Although Ji Shen loves to listen to the palace concubines and her ministers praise her wisdom and martial arts, she also knows that her ordinary behavior is very unpleasant to the previous dynasty, and more importantly - he has no children under his knees so far!

And King Anping and King Guangling already have legitimate sons, not to mention that even the sons have been established!

If Ji Shen is poisoned this time and is not rescued, Ji Shen can imagine that the next successor to the throne is either King Anping or King Guangling!

Thinking of this, Ji Shen is like falling into an ice cellar!

"If the second brother succeeds to the throne, I'm afraid the mother will be happier?" Ji Shen couldn't help but say to herself.

Nie Yuansheng shook his head and whispered, "I said that the Empress Dowager is also Your Majesty's mother. How can she not feel sorry for Your Majesty? Although the Empress Dowager prefers the king of Guangling, it is impossible to condone the king of Guangling. His group of justice was awe-inspiring, but the words changed again, "However, the Xuanshi Hall is the residence of your majesty, and most of the chamberlains have passed through the hands of the empress dowager. Now that such a thing has happened, if it goes into a big fight, won't it hurt the empress dowager's heart as a mother?"

When Ji Shen heard this, he sneered and said, "In order not to hurt my mother's heart, did Yuansheng persuade me not to pursue this matter? The mother said for my good, but now the propaganda room under her interference has even threatened my safety! Do I have to be patient again?"

"Your Majesty!" Hearing this, Nie Yuansheng didn't know where his strength came from. He suddenly turned over from the couch and knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty! I grew up with your majesty, and there are many things that are maintained by your majesty. How can I ignore your majesty's safety for the empress dowager?! It's just that your majesty, please think about this matter. There is a temporary gap between your majesty and the empress dowager. If the situation is strange today, the two families of Qu and Gao seem to refuse to accept the position of prime minister, but in fact, it has a lot to do with the two families that can be accepted by them! Zuo Zhaoyi has been in the palace for four years without favor. How can the Qu family not complain? Although the Gao family is a foreign family, if the Empress Dowager is separated from your majesty... Although the Gao family of the Qu family also has marriage, they are usually restrained by each other. If they generally join hands to put pressure on your majesty... Your Majesty is in power, and this will be a big deal!"

Ji Shen crushed the black sandalwood bed bar in her hand, and after a long time cut her teeth and said, "What should I do?"
