It’s just that winter is not a good time to travel, so I plan to wait until spring before I can travel.
The emperor was also about to take care of his health, but the prince had already started to be contacted about big and small matters, and several cabinet ministers assisted him. The emperor also named Jiang Quwu the Duke of Qi, and together with the other three cabinet ministers, he assisted the prince in managing political affairs.
Within a few months, the emperor naturally took the prince with him to the court, so that the prince could adapt to politics in advance, and basically taught him step by step how to be a king.
The prince is also very ambitious. He makes full arrangements for himself every day from the time he gets up in the morning, and never complains because he is well aware of his responsibilities.
How can a mother not feel distressed? Originally, Jin Xin thought that she would wait until Hong'er was sixteen or seventeen years old before she would contact him, but she didn't expect that it would be so early. She watched her son start learning from the moment he opened his eyes every day. I felt very distressed.
In the evening, when I went to see Hong'er, he had not yet fallen asleep. He said that he wanted to memorize and learn everything the teacher taught today.
Jin Xin was really happy, but the pressure was too much.
We can only give him some more liver-clearing and eye-clearing soup, so that people can stare at him before he goes to sleep. Don't overdraw his body, which will be bad for his health.
The prince's efforts and talents were recognized by several adults, and they were very dedicated to assisting him. In order to prevent Hong'er from being too tired, many important matters still had to be discussed and decided by several ministers. The emperor gave the final nod.
Within a few months, the court officials began to treat the prince as a new king.
Even without mentioning the emperor's condition, it can be seen that he is not in good condition.
The news couldn't be concealed, and no one said it, but they all roughly guessed what was going on.
At the beginning of spring, news came from the border of the Western Region, and many chaotic forces launched provocations. Perhaps the people of the Western Region also learned about the news that the emperor had passed away soon, and actually planned to attack.
The land in the Western Region is vast, but the people and horses are tall. Their domestic forces are very chaotic. The royal family's political power is scattered, they are not united, and they collude with each other. The local forces are of different sizes, and the royal family cannot suppress these forces at all.
The local forces all have very sophisticated military forces, and everyone wants to occupy sovereignty, but for so many years, they have been in a state of confrontation.
The royal family of the Western Regions also asked the Celestial Empire to send troops to help them unify the Western Regions, but the emperor refused because the conditions they gave were not enough for the emperor to send troops to help, and the gains outweighed the losses.
Nowadays, these forces have concentrated on the border of the Celestial Dynasty and provoked several times. It seems that they want to use the same method they used against the royal family of the Western Regions to deal with the Celestial Dynasty and rob people and food. Their methods are very abominable.
The local people are miserable.
The emperor knew that if he did not send troops to suppress them and subdue them, they would be a very stubborn opponent until his son ascended the throne.
We were originally planning to go on a trip with the Queen in the spring, but now I'm afraid that won't be possible.
He wanted to go to the battlefield in person and promote the prestige of the Celestial Dynasty.
After Jin Xin found out, she immediately came to the study.
The emperor's decision was naturally opposed by all the officials. After going to court, several ministers were still in the imperial study and refused to leave.
But the Emperor's will has been decided, and no one can persuade him.
After driving away the ministers, the queen entered.
The emperor sat there, very agitated, knowing what Jin Xin wanted to say when he came in.
"Do you also want me to stay in the palace and do nothing?" The emperor asked, a little tired. He talked too much today and consumed a lot of energy.
I really don't want to say anything more.
"Does the Emperor have to go?" Jin Xin asked, slowly stepping forward and walking to his side.
The emperor hummed, "I have to go."
"There is no one available in the court, and the ministers will not agree." Jin Xin reluctantly advised.
"Others don't understand me, so don't you understand me either?" The emperor was helpless.
Jin Xin understood that he wanted to end his life on the border of the Western Region. At least, the way of death recorded in the history books was to sacrifice for the country, instead of lingering on the bed for a year and dying of decay.
To him, the manner of death was important.
"Does it have to be this way?"
"It must be so." The emperor was very firm.
Jin Xin sighed, walked forward, took his hand, lowered herself and lay on his lap, "If your Majesty has made up his mind, I will not stop you, but I have agreed that you will take me to travel." Shanchuan, do you want to break your promise?"
The emperor was moved, pulled her up and asked her to sit next to him, "Then we will set off immediately. When will we come back, when will I set off to the Western Regions again."
He has already arranged the end of his life.
She originally wanted to let Jin Xin arrange it for her, but actually think about it, if he really does this, her reputation will be discussed by the people, and the prince's rightful accession to the throne will also be criticized because of this incident.
With everyone on the left and right dying, he thought of a way that would benefit everyone.
The emperor made a temporary decision and set off in a hurry.
After making arrangements for the prince, the emperor took Jinxin and set off for Shuangniu Village.
There are not many people with him, just dozens of expert guards, traveling in disguise.
It was already evening when we arrived at Shuangniu Village. The villagers who originally lived in Shuangniu Village lived there because they had no household registration at first. Later, the emperor sent someone to resettle their household registration and allocate land to them. Everyone moved. out.
Except for the weeds growing here, everything else is still the same.
The guards brought here cleaned up the place and moved in one after another. The emperor and Jin Xin were still staying at Chen Dasheng's house.
After taking out the stove, Jin Xin went to the kitchen and made him some food.
"These things were all found on the mountain by Commander Hong. These small mushrooms are stewed with pheasants. They taste very sweet. Your Majesty, try it." Jin Xin filled a bowl for him.
"Just smelling it tastes delicious. I have tasted your craftsmanship when I was in the palace." The emperor smiled.
Jin Xin has not cooked for many years. Fortunately, these things are engraved in her bones. She has been able to cook since she was a child. After getting familiar with them, she picked up the skills.
The emperor took a sip of the soup and it tasted very good.
"Your craftsmanship is still so good." He smiled.
Jin Xin smiled and said, "Then drink more soup. These are gifts from heaven and earth, but they are good things."
Jin Xin remembered that when she was a child, she also liked to go to the mountains to look for mushrooms and wild fruits in spring. It was fun, it could also supplement the family income, and the food was delicious.
The location of Shuangniu Village is actually very good, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, where you can farm and hunt, and there are many things from the mountains. I heard that there are also many medicinal materials.
Thinking like this, Jin Xin immediately said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask someone to go to the mountains to find some medicinal materials and boil them. It may be possible to detoxify."
"The doctors in the palace can't do anything, so what if we change the medicinal materials." The emperor waved his hand, not wanting to try.
He thought that the best things in the world were in the palace. The barefoot doctor last time treated some fevers and colds, but he might not be able to cure this unique insect poison.
He didn't want to give birth to hope, spend a lot of energy looking for an antidote, and end up despairing.
Right now, he just wants to finish the final journey with Jin Xin.
