Not only them, but even the emperor rushed over with his "sick" body, and personally commanded the 20,000 horses specially mobilized from the fifth battalion on the outskirts of Beijing to protect him, and tried his best to rescue King Wei.
The cliff is very deep, but there is a way down, but you have to take a detour.
Many princes and ministers spontaneously led people to rescue the King of Wei.
After all...many people have bet their money on King Wei, so of course they have to go.
Until dark, no news came.
This small patch of bushes on the cliff has been cleared. Yan Shangfei and his people temporarily set up several tents here, and the emperor sat in them.
"Brother Emperor, Third Brother Ji has his own destiny. Don't worry too much. Brother Emperor is not in good health. It's already dark and the mountain is very cold. This is ginger tea brewed by my sister. Please drink some. , go and get rid of the cold." Princess Jiahe took Meng Shu into the tent and served ginger tea.
In addition to the emperor, the generals and officials in the big account can also get a bowl.
This is a recipe given by Meng Shu, ginger and medicinal materials prepared by Princess Jiahe, and brewed by the palace maids.
Ginger tea has a slightly spicy taste, but it is not bitter, but it has a pleasant aftertaste.
Of course the emperor was not worried about King Wei, but he still had to pretend.
"Your Majesty is not well. It is better to go back to the palace to rest early. I will just stay here." Wang Zhengqian, the Minister of Rites, said respectfully.
This person is the youngest among the cabinet ministers, only thirty-two years old this year.
He joined the cabinet the year before last. Because of his outstanding ability, he also has a high voice among cabinet ministers.
"No need, I'm worried about King Wei. Even if he returns to the palace, he can't sleep at night. I feel more at ease staying here, cough cough cough..." The emperor said, suddenly coughing.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Sister Meng, please help me, brother, feel your pulse." Princess Jiahe's face changed greatly, and she quickly turned her head and said.
Meng Shu: "..."
The two brothers and sisters cooperated very well, with no flaws at all.
She stepped forward and felt the emperor's pulse through the silk handkerchief.
The eyes of everyone in Western Zhou Dynasty fell on her.
After a while, Meng Shu withdrew her hand and said softly: "The emperor is weak, so he should go back to the palace to rest early. He is more exposed. If he catches the wind and cold, he may not be able to recover for a few months."
After hearing this, Princess Jiahe immediately said: "Brother, you are the king of a country. Even if you are worried about the third brother, you still have to take care of your own dragon body. My sister, please send the emperor back."
The emperor was about to pretend to refuse, but someone outside reported that the Queen Mother had arrived.
This paddock is not far from the capital, but the Queen Mother came too quickly. She must have just arrived after getting the news.
"Follow me to greet the queen." The emperor said and left.
This time when he came to Zhulu Paddock, the emperor brought not many ministers, and they were all relatively young. Among the civil servants, Wang Zhengqian, the Minister of Rites, was the leader.
Everyone followed the emperor to the outside of the tent. The Queen Mother's Feng Jia had just arrived.
The emperor was supported by Wang Fusheng and others and arrived in front of Feng Jia. When he saw the Queen Mother getting down from the carriage, he quickly reached out to help him, but was pushed away by the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager was furious and used a strong force. The Emperor was pushed back a few steps by her. If Wang Fusheng and Cui Jingyu hadn't caught him quickly with quick eyes and hands, the Emperor would have fallen to the ground.
After everyone present saw it, many people felt shocked.
The Queen Mother is too rude to the Emperor!
Even if she is the Queen Mother, she should not treat the king of a country like this.
Especially Wang Zhengqian, his entry into the cabinet was based solely on his ability, and he did not win the position by currying favor with the Queen Mother. In addition, he was the younger brother of Princess Wang Xian and the uncle of the King of Jin. In fact, he and the Queen Mother had different political opinions.
Wang Zhengqian was about to step forward to speak when he heard the voice of the Queen Mother scolding the emperor: "It's so good, how could Hui'er fall off the cliff? Don't tell the Ai family that this was an accident. Hui'er has always cherished his life, why would he go to the dense forest? Did you send someone to plot against him during the hunt? Zhou Qilin, you are so cruel, he is your biological brother!"
The Queen Mother was anxious and angry.
That was her only biological son and her greatest hope in this life. She loved her son more than anything else.
If her son is gone, even living will be a pain for her, let alone this supreme right.
"Mom, please calm down. My son has never harmed my third brother. You have misunderstood!" The emperor said helplessly after standing firm.
"Misunderstanding? Don't think that the Ai family doesn't know. You have just recovered, but you feel that the Ai family has too much control. You wish you could take all the power back. You hate the Ai family for favoring Hui'er. You hold a grudge in your heart and wish for him. Go to hell, if you hadn't plotted against him, how could he have fallen off the cliff?" The Queen Mother concluded that the matter was related to the emperor.
At this time, she had no sense at all and only had hatred for the emperor in her eyes.
This white-eyed wolf raised him as his legitimate son and made him the prince and emperor, but he wanted to harm his own son.
"Mother, I am the lord of the world. In the past few years, due to severe poisoning and weakness, I had to trouble my mother to take charge of the government for me, and let my third brother take charge of the troops and horses of the fifth battalion on the outskirts of Beijing and defend the capital. You and your third brother You are the person your son trusts the most. If not, why would your son hand over the power to you? "
The emperor looked sad and said: "My son knows that his mother prefers his third brother. Even if he feels a little unhappy, he is his brother after all. As an elder brother, his son has never thought of harming him, and even planned to do so in a few years." "Isn't it good enough for my son to pass the throne to him, so that his mother misunderstands him so much?"
Everyone present could hear the emperor's helplessness and pain, and they were also particularly shocked.
In the eyes of everyone, the emperor was good enough to the Queen Mother and King Wei, and even gave him everything he could. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother actually blamed the emperor after something happened to King Wei.
Has the relationship between mother and son in the Tian family almost reached this point?
There is absolutely no trust at all.
"The Ai family is too lazy to listen to your sophistry. If Hui'er has any shortcomings, you won't be able to get over it. The Ai family will never let anyone related to this matter go." The queen mother said angrily.
If her son was really dead, she would definitely have a fight with the emperor, turn the Zhou Dynasty upside down, and have all these people be buried with her son.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was so unreasonable, the officials present looked at each other.
Princess Jiahe couldn't help but said: "Mother, this matter really has nothing to do with the imperial brother. My daughter has already asked. It was the third brother who wanted to go hunting in the dense forest. The imperial brother dissuaded him. The third brother agreed on his face. , but ended up taking people to the cliff, chasing a white deer, and fell down the cliff. "
"Shut up to the Ai family. It's not your place to speak. What are you doing standing around in silence? All of you are looking for someone for the Ai family. If the King of Wei is not found today, the Ai family will have you all buried with him." The Queen Mother sternly said. scolded.
