King Jin learned about the emperor's physical condition from an insider in the palace.

At first, he also doubted whether the emperor had taken medicine, but he learned from Dr. Xue that the emperor had not taken medicine and did not light any incense to cheer him up.

The most important thing is that the emperor's symptoms have lasted for three consecutive days. This situation is a bit strange. King Jin secretly called his staff to inquire.

After listening to what he said, there was silence in the room. For a long time, a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a long beard said: "This situation looks like someone who is in love with the emperor."

"How can you see it?" Although King Jin's understanding of Yu Huan was limited, he also knew that Yu Huan was not common.

There are other medicines that can be used to harm people's health. There is no need to spend so much time preparing this medicine that is not fatal and has an antidote.

"Only Yu Huan can keep a man in that state." The middle-aged Confucian scholar paused and added, "If the prince can see that man, see if the man's lips are lavender.

?If so, then there is no doubt that he has been struck by Yu Huan."

The King of Jin nodded slightly and said, "This matter must not be spread to outsiders."

Several staff members responded in unison, "Yes."

After sending away his staff, King Jin asked insiders in the palace to find out that the emperor's lips were lavender, and confirmed that the emperor had fallen in love with Yu Huan. He then summoned the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

"Mr. Huang, is it easy to find the antidote for Yu Huan?"

Mr. Huang smiled and said: "Yu Huan can be said to have an antidote, or it can be said that there is no antidote."

"What does it mean?"

"As far as I know, there are three herbs in Yuhuan. If you put them in different orders, the antidotes required will be different. Only the person who prepares Yuhuan knows which antidote to use."

"In other words, only by finding the person who prepared Yu Huan can we get the antidote. Without the antidote, the medicine will never be effective?"

If the emperor lingers on the bed all day long, which is so ridiculous, how should the political affairs of the DPRK be handled?

"In seven to ten days, this medicine will wear off. However, after the medicine wears off, this person will no longer be able to have sex with a woman from now on."

King Jin was shocked, "Can it be cured?"

"No." Mr. Huang paused, "This medicine is only effective for men and is harmless to women. Based on this, we can infer that the person who administered the medicine must be a woman."

King Jin smiled bitterly. There was no way to investigate this matter. Except for the emperor and eunuchs, all the people in the palace were women.

And the person who did it was a woman, but the person behind the scenes may not be a woman.

King Jin had doubted many people, but no matter what, he never thought that the person who dispensed the medicine would be his bedfellow.

Jiang Changning knew that the emperor's life was difficult, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The sixth day of September was Princess Kangren's eighth birthday. Jiang Changning ordered people to prepare an incense table, as well as wine, vegetables, fruits and vegetables for sacrifice, and sent them to the prosperous courtyard for Princess Kangren to worship her parents.

After Princess Kangren paid homage to her parents, she came to Rujingyuan to express her gratitude to Jiang Changning.

Seeing her red eyes, Jiang Changning knew that she had cried. Instead of comforting her, he fed a few rice grains to the parrot and said, "Send hello to the princess quickly."

"When I meet the princess, I say hello, princess, hello, princess, wonderful, princess, croak, croak."

Princess Kangren chuckled and said, "That croaking thing is a toad."

She grabbed a few grains of rice and fed them to the parrot's mouth. "What else can you say?"

The parrot tilted its little head and looked at her with its little bean eyes, "The princess is the most beautiful. The princess is like a fish and a goose. The princess looks like Pan An."

"Pan An is a boy, and my aunt must be a fairy." Princess Kangren corrected the parrot.

Seeing Princess Kangren chatting with the parrot, Jiang Changning burst into laughter. Children are children, full of childlike innocence.

The emperor also resumed the morning court on this day. These days, he almost stayed in bed. He did that kind of thing too much. In the end, instead of enjoying it, he was tired, and his iron rod was about to be ground into needles.

He doesn't want to enter the harem for the time being. If he fails to discover it in time, he will never be humane again and entering the harem will be useless.

In the morning, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides, and officials came out from time to time to report on political affairs.

"Your Majesty, the envoy from Chagatai arrived in Beijing five days ago and is currently staying at the Seiyi Pavilion." Officials came out to report.

"Chagatai country?" The emperor wondered, when did such a country appear?

All the officials were speechless. At the beginning of the year, the letter of credence submitted by Nanchatai State was a piece of waste paper?

The long crown covered the emperor's face, which looked very swollen due to excessive indulgence.

The emperor did not remember it. As a minister, he had to get up and remind him, "Your Majesty, it is the former Dongcha Kingdom. Prince Hetai competed with his three brothers for the throne. He won and changed the name of the country to Chagatai Kingdom."

"They are here to discuss the mutual trade, right? Do you think the mutual trade should be reopened?" the emperor asked.

There was a mutual trade with Dongcha State in the past, but in the later period of Guangzong's reign, it became even more mediocre, and Dongcha State also fell into civil strife, and the mutual trade was closed.

"I believe that mutual trade should be opened." Some officials agreed and listed the benefits of mutual trade.

Some officials objected, "I believe that mutual markets should not be opened." They also listed the disadvantages of mutual markets.

In order to trade with each other, the court officials held their own opinions, argued endlessly, and refused to give in to each other, making the main hall look like a market.

The emperor felt sleepy after hearing this, and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.

Seeing this, Eunuch Yu raised his voice and said: "My lords, please be quiet, please be quiet."

The courtiers stopped arguing, bowed and apologized to the emperor, "I'm sorry."

"Prince Jin, I see that you have not expressed your opinion. Do you think the mutual market should be opened or not?" the emperor asked.

The King of Jin, who stood at the head of the kings, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the mutual market should be opened and restarted, which will be beneficial to both countries. What should be discussed is not whether to open the mutual market, but how to set up the mutual market and how to trade in the mutual market.

wait."

"I second the proposal." The official who had previously supported the opening of the mutual market said immediately.

"Your Majesty, there have been private transactions between the two countries, and lawless people have opened markets to make huge profits. Instead of doing this, it is better for the two countries to set up official markets, which will not only facilitate management, but also enrich the national treasury." King Jin continued.

The emperor also knew that mutual trade between the two countries was imperative, but he did not want to agree to something that the King of Jin strongly supported. "This matter will be discussed later."

The King of Jin frowned slightly and insisted: "Your Majesty, the Chagatai Kingdom's mission has been in Beijing for five days. I think they have had enough rest. It's time to discuss mutual trade."

"I'll discuss it after I've said it. Don't you understand, King Jin?" the emperor asked majestically.

King Jin had no choice but to retreat to his original place.

The hall suddenly became quiet, and Eunuch Yu said: "If you have a foundation, you can submit a memorial, but if you don't have a foundation, you can retreat."

If the mutual trade between the two countries was not allowed to be discussed, there would be nothing to report. The emperor retired from the court and did not go to Qinzheng Hall to approve the memorial. Instead, he returned to his palace to rest. He felt very tired.

Several of the officials who had retired from the court surrounded the King of Jin, "Your Majesty, mutual trade between the two countries is imminent, why does the Emperor want to postpone the discussion?"

"In two days, we will just send you another invitation. There is no harm in letting the envoy stay in the capital for a longer time." King Jin had expected that the emperor would not agree so quickly, so he smiled lightly without caring at all.

Those officials thought about it and said no more.
