In the imperial study, Shi Fangzhen had learned from Feng Zhong that a "good show" was staged by Dali Temple. He was so angry that his hands were trembling, his face turned red, and his body tilted towards the back of the chair. Liu Weiguo rushed forward to support him, massaged the acupoints on his head with both hands, and called "Long live, long live". After a long time, Shi Fangzhen let out a long breath and said, "I'll kill me."

Feng Zhong was also frightened, with tears in his eyes, standing beside the emperor and stroking his chest for him. The four eunuchs in the palace were all the emperor's confidants. Their wealth and honor were all depended on the emperor. The emperor had to be good or bad. The best fate for the four people was to guard the imperial tomb and wait for death. Feng Zhong, as the secret guard general, held great power, and the officials were respectful. He was doing it with great pleasure. He wished the emperor would live a hundred years old, so that he could continue to do this secret guard general.

The little eunuch guarding the gate outside the hall came in with a wink, reporting: "The Censor Huang Ping and Lord Huang asked for a visit."

Liu Weiguo was angry and said in a rare manner: "Get out and let Huang Ping wait outside. Who else wants to see the emperor? Let him wait outside. Why don't you go and spread the imperial doctor? Are you all dead?"

The little eunuch had never seen Eunuch Liu get angry. He was so scared that he came outside the house. He returned the twenty taels of silver bills handed to him by Huang Ping, and said with a sad face: "Master Huang, please wait first."

The rain was pouring, and the rain was carried into the corridor by the wind. Huang Pinggong stood under the corridor, and the rain quickly wet his back. Fortunately, the weather was hot in June, and it was nothing to get wet. Huang Ping's back was sweating. He didn't know what was going on in the imperial study room, why did the emperor not see him? Could it be that because Lu Congming's incident happened, he wanted to ask the little eunuch, but saw that he was away from him like a plague god, so he had to listen carefully and vaguely hear an anxious call in the house.

When the two imperial doctors arrived in a hurry with the medicine box on their backs, Huang Ping felt nervous. Long live sick? The emperor had dizziness and dysfunction among all officials. However, Shi Fangzhen summoned his ministers to discuss matters every morning, and there was no abnormality in normal times. Huang Ping saw the emperor's face flushed several times. After massaged him, Eunuch Liu quickly recovered and discussed matters with his ministers as usual. Therefore, all the officials thought that the emperor was just a small disease. Huang Ping lowered his head deeply and did not dare to look around. He regretted that the time came. It was a secret that the emperor had an illness. If it was spread, it would be yellow mud that fell into his crotch. He couldn't explain it clearly.

Standing outside the imperial study room, Huang Ping was frightened and the rain and sweat dripped on the ground along the official uniform, wet the ground. The eunuchs and palace maids went in and out, but no one answered Huang Ping, and Huang Ping did not dare to talk to anyone. He stood on the left side of the gate, and his back was poured by the rain, and he did not dare to move in half a step. It was a dilemma. Huang Ping never expected Lu Liangzhen and Wu Huaren to arrive soon, and they could share their pressure.

Half an hour later, finally waiting for Lu Liangzhen and Wu Huaren to appear. Huang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, feeling dazed and unsteady. He quickly reached out to support the pillar beside him, closed his eyes and gasped for a moment before opening his eyes again.

Seeing that Huang Ping's face was pale, his back was wet, and he was dripping with water along the lower part, he didn't know that something had happened. Wu Huaren was the son-in-law of Cui and had a good relationship with Huang Ping. He reached out to hold Huang Ping's left arm and asked softly: "Master Huang, what's going on?" Huang Ping shook his head repeatedly and signaled Wu Huaren not to ask. The three of them stood side by side under the eaves, half of their body was exposed in the wind and rain.

Two more moments later, two imperial doctors came out of the imperial study room. The three of them looked at each other. Seeing that the imperial doctor's face was heavy, the originally heavy heart fell to the ground. Shi Fangzhen was fifty-one years old this year and succeeded to the throne for 21 years. This emperor was impatient and very happy to be successful, but to be fair, Shi Fang was really a

A good emperor worked hard to govern, practiced and restrained his integrity. When he was in power, he suppressed the power of aristocratic families, promoted the unity of taxes, and appointed a group of young wise ministers. Under his governance, the world gradually got rid of the extravagant style of Emperor Xuan, and the people were able to survive, the country gradually became prosperous and strong, and the expedition to the northern desert to expand territory, which would definitely leave a reputation in history books.

Although Lu Liangzhen and the other three had different backgrounds, they must be trusted by the emperor. Thinking of the great changes that might be caused by the emperor once the emperor passed away, the three of them couldn't help but tremble. Wu Huaren has been serving as an official in Beijing and knows the best of what the emperor has done. When the scene could no longer be controlled, he knelt on the ground and whispered, and Lu Liangzhen and Huang Ping also knelt on the ground, crying silently.

A quarter of an hour later, Feng Zhong came out of the house and said to the three people who were kneeling on the ground: "Sir, please get up, please wait, long live, have returned to Kun'an Palace to rest. Please report to memorials if you have anything to do."

Lu Liang was really the emperor's confidant. Looking at Feng Zhong's desire to speak, Feng Zhong sighed softly: "Don't worry, three sirs, it's okay. The imperial doctor said that phlegm and fire surged for a while, and it would be fine to rest for a few days. The three sirs are all pillars of the country. There are some things that I don't need to talk too much. It's better not to say anything about the things in this palace, so it's better not to say anything, so that some people will be confused and not be beautiful." The three of them all agreed with a stern attitude.

The heavy rain was pouring on the wooden boards of the carriage and "blooming" sounded. Huang Ping's heart in the car was as noisy as the sound of rain. The emperor was ill, and the country was about to change. The rain sounded "rustling", and the carriage became quieter. Huang Ping tried his best to calm himself down from panic. Although Feng Zhong confessed that the emperor was ill, there were no secrets in the palace city. Countless eunuchs and palace maids were bought by the powerful outside the palace. I believe that the news that the emperor was ill will reach the ears of those who were interested tomorrow.

The rain was heavy and the carriage was moving slowly. Huang Ping tried to stop the carriage and went to the palace of King An Chu several times. The earlier this earth-shaking news was told to King An, the better. Feng Zhong's cold face appeared in front of him. Huang Ping suppressed the impulse in his heart and stopped the carriage in front of his house.

Huang Ping lived in Guangdefang. This was not the ancestral home of the Huang family, but the house given by the emperor after he entered the capital. The ancestral home of the Huang family was in the stewardship hall of powerful people. There was a plaque of Xuanwu Hou in front of the door. This was a hereditary marquis. As long as you do not make a big mistake, the marquis of Xuanwu Hou will be the same relatives as the country.

The contemporary head of the Huang family is Huang Yongsheng, the Marquis of Xuanwu, Huang Jike and Huang Shufei are the children of Huang Yonghe, the third brother of Huang Yongsheng. The Huang family is divided into east and west courtyards. The east courtyard is long branches, which has always been pressing on the west courtyard. Even if Huang Shufei married into the palace, the west courtyard was still lowered in front of the east courtyard. However, this situation changed quietly as the King of Chu'an established a yamen, Huang Jike was promoted to Yan Hong Shaoqing, and the children of the West Court began to serve more officials in the six ministries and nine ministers' yamen, and there was a hidden force that the west wind overwhelmed the east wind.

This situation changed after Huang Ping entered Beijing as the censor. Huang Ping was not a member of the Huang family in Hanchuan. More than 20 years ago, Huang Ping was considered an adopted son by Huang Yongsheng, the Marquis of Xuanwu. He was cultivated all the way, so that Huang Ping later became the governor of Houzhou. Huang Ping was grateful to his adoptive father and was willing to drive him. His arrival allowed the East Court to restore the decline. As the head of the family, Huang Yongsheng saw the crisis of family division and convened a meeting of the clan and asked the clan members to work together to assist King An of Chu, and all matters were put on King An of Chu. Strictly speaking, King An of Chu was the nephew of the West Court, so the West Court naturally agreed with both hands, and the East Court did not dare to object under the strong suppression of Huang Yongsheng.

Changing the wet clothes, Huang Ping sat in the study for a moment, summoned the butler to give a soft order. After a while, a man in a straw raincoat, holding an oil umbrella, and wearing a gray maid's uniform walked east in the rain; half a quarter of an hour later, another family member in the same dress appeared, this time facing south; then he went to

north.

Huang Ping knew that the emperor had strict surveillance on the ministers. Many ministers had secret spies from the Long Guard secret guards in their homes. Ninety-nine percent of the ministers like him who gave houses to him had secret spies in their homes. The servants came back soon and brought back the purchases. Going and going in and out made the secret whistle guarding the back door tired, and the heavy rain blurred his vision, so he just was lazy to drink some wine in the house to rest. No one noticed that Huang Ping was wearing the servant's clothes, blocking his face with an oil umbrella, secretly left the house and heading to the Huang Mansion of Xuande Hou in Shizhengfang.

I came to a side door in the alley with a familiar path, knocking on the door regularly, the door opened in response to the sound, and Huang Ping flashed into the room. Without passing through the hall, Huang Ping directly entered a small courtyard next to the door. He didn't have much effort, so Huang Yongsheng, the Marquis of Xuanwu, rushed over.

Huang Yongsheng was 67 years old, with a childish face, and was energetic, walking with a strong spirit. Seeing Huang Ping wearing a gray maid, the old man knew that something great happened. When he learned from Huang Ping that the emperor fainted and might be seriously ill, the old man was a little dazed. During this period, he was actively raising the pursuit of the emperor's northward expedition. The old man was preparing to let his eldest son Huang Jizu go to the Beimo and be able to take over his title in the future.

If the emperor had the case, the prince ascended the throne, the situation of King An of Chu could be imagined. The Huang family would be severely suppressed. With the prince's temperament, it is very likely that the Huang family would be erased from the ten major families. Beads of sweat appeared on Huang Yongsheng's head, and the iron gall in his hand was spinning rapidly, and he was nervously digesting the bad news.

"Ping'er, how credible is Feng Zhong's saying that the emperor is not seriously injured?" Huang Yongsheng asked.

Huang Ping rolled his beard and said, "Feng Zhong told us that the emperor has returned to Kun'an Palace and reported it with a memorial. The emperor should be very ill, otherwise the emperor would say a few words to us to comfort our hearts. However, the emperor is not too old and his body is still strong. There were no signs of illness in the Northern Expedition four years ago. Therefore, I analyzed that the emperor might be angry and attacking the heart, causing dizziness to worsen. It should be possible to recover after a while of resting."

Huang Yongsheng nodded frequently and said, "What Ping'er said is very true, but the emperor needs to rest for a while, and it may be temporarily regent for the prince. I am worried that the prince will take this opportunity to suppress King An of Chu, and my Huang family may also have to bear the pressure."

"The adoptive father, it is not a blessing to lose his horse." Huang Ping smiled and said, "The regent of the prince is also an opportunity for King An of Chu. First of all, the emperor is not ignorant of the minister. If the prince acts randomly, the emperor will definitely not be happy. Secondly, the king of Chu may be brave enough to be in charge of his duties and share his father's worries. It is taboo to take power on weekdays, but it is filial at this time. The case of the Jiangnan Transportation Department is very involved and extremely difficult. I think Lu Liang really wants to retreat. It is better to let King An of Chu take the initiative to ask the emperor to hear the case. With me being by his side, the case should be closed beautifully. In this way, King An of Chu will definitely leave a benevolent and filial impression in the emperor's heart. It would be better if the prince wanted to make trouble from it. Compared with the two, the emperor's heart will be divided."

He didn't say it thoroughly, but Huang Yongsheng knew it clearly and stood up and said, "I'll go to the Chuan Prince's Mansion. Ping'er, I will tell you what you said to the Chuan Prince. I won't keep you for a long time. Be careful when you go back."

Huang Ping achieved the purpose of this trip and said with a smile: "Entertainment Father, even if he goes, I will bother with dinner in the mansion and wait until it gets dark before going back."

As the rain stopped, the carriage of Xuanwuhou ran out and headed to the Chuan Prince's Mansion with splashing mud and water. On the streets in the middle of the capital, the carriages were more lively than usual. The carriages came and went, and they were intertwined into a network, which was built by the emperor, the princes and officials, and also by the people of the world.
