Nangong Rang said happily: "Weier's behavior in Luobei made me feel very happy. I admired the pair of jade as I wished. After leaving the court, the Inner Court Secretary went to the second prince's house to take inventory of the treasury, and copied down all the items that the second prince had scattered and submitted them. Come up, the Ministry of Household Affairs will break the things scattered by the two princes into cash and make up for it."
"Follow the order."
All the officials chanted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."
Nangong Wang’s face turned pale as he listened to the courtiers praising Nangong Wei.
At this time, his intestines were filled with regret, and he wished he could immediately grow a pair of wings and fly back home to find Qi Yan to discuss countermeasures.
Nangong Rang ordered to hold a palace banquet for Nangong Wei to wash away the dust.
But in the afternoon of that day, an imperial edict suddenly came out: I am unwell, and the palace banquet will be postponed.
For several days, Nangong Rang failed to go to court, so he ordered the courtiers to write down all the matters they wanted to report in memorials and submit them to him.
A few days later, Nangong Rang issued another decree: the memorials of the officials should first be submitted to the chiefs of the three provinces for annotation, and then submitted to him for approval.
Nangong Rang fell ill, and his condition became severe.
A heavy dark cloud hung over the imperial court. Even Lu Quan, who had been recuperating in Tangquan Mountain, returned to the capital after receiving the news.
……
The imperial doctor said: Nangong Rangnai became ill due to overwork, and as he got older, his body was not as good as before, so he would be able to recover after taking some time to nurse himself back to health.
But some veterans pointed the finger at the pampered concubine Ya.
“After all, the former Emperor Shang was burned to death in the palace together with Concubine Wan Gui because he doted on his treacherous concubine.
These old children were already full of prejudice against foreigners, and many of them submitted memorials, tactfully admonishing Nangong Rang to take care of his dragon body.
Of course, there is another thing that has been put on the agenda again - the appointment of a crown prince.
Seventy years are rare in life, and the fifty-one-year-old Nangong Rang has reached the time when he must consider becoming the state heir. In the past, he could use various reasons to suppress this matter, but his illness has not improved in half a month. , the loyal courtiers were anxious.
The situation of the Nangong royal family is special. Nangong Rang has no legitimate son. Although the eldest son, Nangong Ping, has a low status, there is an old saying: establishing a legitimate son is not a virtuous one
?Throughout the ages, there have been many examples where the elders were abolished and the younger ones were replaced, which eventually led to disaster.
From the perspective of the bloodline, all the princes are equal. If the eldest son is not established, the other princes must have complaints. His Majesty will shake the country's company a hundred years later.
The courtiers were roughly divided into several groups. One group was the old Confucian ministers who adhered to ancient etiquette. They believed that His Majesty should put the foundation of the country first and allow the emperor's eldest son Nangong Ping to enter the court to discuss affairs before conducting inspections.
The other faction is the "pragmatic faction" headed by Xing Jingfu. He believes that one of the princes with the most outstanding abilities should be selected and trained to see the effects.
The last faction is the "foreign relatives faction". As the name suggests, they are the maternal power of the concubines of various palaces. They advocate that the queen's position has been vacant for many years, and a mother-in-law who is pregnant with the prince should be selected as the successor. This solves the problem of the queen's position and the You can get a legitimate son and kill two birds with one stone.
No matter what the purpose is, the courtier's advice has a certain truth, but it is a different story in Nangong Rang's eyes.
He is ill, and what these officials in the court want to do is not to seek out famous doctors and good medicines and pray for his speedy recovery, but to "force" him to establish a son-in-law!
Lu Quan’s return also touched Nangong Rang’s sensitive nerves. He became increasingly afraid that what happened to Emperor Shang would happen to him again.
It took a lot of effort for my health to get better, but it became serious again after being stimulated like this.
However, the biggest beneficiary this time is the second prince Nangong Wei.
His mother is Concubine Hui, the woman closest to the throne in the entire harem. This time he made great contributions to the court again, and his reputation among the people and the court reached an unprecedented height.
Many courtiers secretly praised Nangong Weipoju for his majesty, caring for the world, and being benevolent and prudent.
Nangong Wei also behaved particularly filially. He would go to the palace every morning to pay his respects, and would leave attendants at night. It is said that he even spread a quilt outside the palace so that Nangong Rang could be summoned at any time.
As soon as this news came out, it once again received overwhelming praise from courtiers.
The day after Nangong Rang fell ill, Nangong Jingnu also entered the palace. Before the palace was in ruins, she moved to the palace where Nangong Sunu was married before she got married.
Accompanying Nangong Rang every day, telling Nangong Rang some folk stories to make Nangong Rang laugh.
“With a legitimate daughter and the nominal eldest son serving as the sick, it seems a bit redundant for others to go
Nangong Wang ordered Xie An to bring generous gifts to Qi Yan's private residence.
&n??Do? "
"Your Highness, please remain normal and do not go to see His Majesty at this time. It is also a waste of time to pay greetings. Even if everyone goes to pay greetings, as long as His Majesty has not recovered, Your Highness should not appear in front of His Majesty."
"Why is this? The routine greetings are not required? Will my father blame me? Will the courtiers criticize me for being unfilial?"
"The thoughts of the courtiers are irrelevant. The most important thing now is His Majesty's thoughts. If one day His Majesty asks about this matter, His Majesty will say: You have gone to the Royal Hospital to ask, and the Royal Doctor said that His Majesty's condition requires rest. Although you are full of thoughts. I wish I could die in his place, but I dare not disturb His Majesty’s recovery. I can only copy sutras and recite Buddhist scriptures in my house, and pray to the gods to bless Your Majesty’s speedy recovery.”
Nangong Wang was overjoyed: "Okay, let's follow my brother-in-law's advice. What next?"
Qi Yan sneered: "Then? I asked His Highness to compile a song in praise of the second prince, find a few loyal soldiers to go to various places, teach the children on the street to sing, and sing all the way to the capital. Your Majesty just rested for a while. In the past month, not only the courtiers, but also people from all over the country have begun to sing praises to the second prince, how can the emperor be embarrassed?"
