Chapter 124 The prince wakes up

All the ministers knelt down on the ground. Everyone looked sad and said in their hearts: I'm afraid it will be a bad day today.

I heard a hurried footsteps: da da da.

"Your Majesty, the three princes are awake. Fortunately, the imperial doctor's medical skills are superb, and they have now regained their consciousness. The queen specially sent her slaves to tell them."

When His Majesty heard this, his expression turned to joy. In the past few days, he finally heard good news.

"Let's go to the Deqing Palace." His Majesty's brows suddenly relaxed.

Upon hearing this, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I am also worried about the health of the three princes. Please allow me to go and visit you."

After the Household Department had a leader, other Household Department officials also came forward to request.

Your Majesty's face was still angry just now, but now that he saw these old guys caring so much about the prince, his face softened a lot, and he said: "Let's go, let's go together."

In this way, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue followed closely behind His Majesty, and some officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel also followed.

A group of people walked toward Deqing Hall in a mighty manner.

At this time, in the Deqing Hall, the queen's face was filled with relief. The imperial doctor on the side took the pulses of the three princes and felt relieved.

"Empress, the three princes can no longer be stimulated and need to be cared for for a while." The imperial doctor breathed a sigh of relief now.

King Pingzhang, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince sat on the couch with faces full of joy, and the three beds were side by side.

King Pingzhang took the lead and said: "Okay, okay, long-winded"

The fifth prince snorted coldly when he heard this and said, "I don't want to keep drinking that extremely bitter medicine."

The sixth prince was the timid one. He grinned and said, "Thank you, doctor."

When the imperial doctor heard this, his face paused, and then he happily raised his hands to the Sixth Prince and said: "The Sixth Prince's words are serious, and the lower officials should fulfill their duties."

These days he was on tenterhooks, every day he was afraid that the queen would drag him out to see her in anger, so he wrote hard and stayed up late at night to read, finally seeing the wisdom of his predecessors.

He breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "The three princes are fine, I will leave now."

The queen saw her three sons safe and sound again. She was very happy at this moment. She waved her hand and said: "You have worked hard for so many days. Go down and have a good rest."

The imperial doctor respectfully left the Deqing Hall.

In the palace, the scene of loving mother and filial piety was once again affected. The Queen and the three princes looked at each other and smiled. It felt like losing money and finding it again.

"Your Majesty is here!" came the voice from the chamberlain outside the door.

When the four of them heard this, their expressions were all overjoyed: "Let's go, let's go meet your father."

The three princes were reborn and had long forgotten the trouble they had caused before going to Xiaocheng. They walked to the door of Deqing Palace and stared blankly.

The expressions of the three people changed drastically.

"I, my concubine, meet the Emperor"

"My son, please see your father."

Before His Majesty entered the Deqing Hall, he saw his three sons safe and sound from a distance, their eyes bright, and they were happy after being tired for many days.

He laughed loudly and said: "No gift"

After the group saluted, they all entered the Deqing Hall. Even the Queen began to wonder. When His Majesty came, he even brought officials from the previous court.

The officials turned their eyes away from time to time to look at their three sons.

She suddenly discovered that her three sons, who had been in high spirits just now, had darkened expressions and their eyes were fixed on the ground.

"I heard that the three princes were in good health, so I came here to visit them. I didn't expect that the three princes are so well and the imperial doctor is so skilled."

"Yes, yes, the imperial physician is very skilled in medicine. I see that the three princes have recovered. Why don't your majesty allow the three princes to participate in government affairs as soon as possible, so as to relieve your majesty's worries?"

When King Pingzhang heard this, his face darkened and he did not dare to speak for a long time. He looked at His Majesty who was sitting at the top. "Yeah, what Aiqing said is that I also have this intention. Originally, I wanted to make friends with King Pingzhang when it came to suppressing the rebellion in Yuecheng. When Aiqing said this, I remembered it. The imperial edict has not been read out yet, right?"

The chamberlain on the side immediately came forward and said: "Yes, King Pingzhang was ill that day, and he had not had time to announce it yet."

King Pingzhang and the two princes looked confused when they heard this. They didn't know what it meant.

Since the three of them regained consciousness, they still haven't understood what happened to Yue Cheng and Da Jun.

"Then declare the decree." His Majesty paused and asked the chamberlain to come out.

There are 80,000 troops outside the city. Just now he was worried that no one would lead the army. Now that his three sons are awake, he can step down.

The chamberlain's face looked delighted, and he stepped forward and began to announce the decree: "King Pingzhang, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince accept the decree."

After a lot of chatter.

King Pingzhang was stunned: "Yuecheng riot?"

He stared at the chamberlain with his eyes, and then moved his eyes to the queen, whose face was full of leisure.

She wasn't worried, let alone took the Yuecheng and Yuncheng riots seriously.

One county can have at most five or six thousand laborers, and two counties can only have more than ten thousand or at most twenty thousand laborers.

The 80,000-strong army outside the city crawled past them with a roar, each one of them could drown with just a drop of spit. She didn't care about such a rare opportunity to perform meritorious deeds.

"Yes, there are also riots in Yuncheng, so this time you are sent to quell the chaos. King Pingzhang must do his best." His Majesty stood up and said seriously.

Seeing that the matter of quelling the chaos was settled, His Majesty's mood immediately improved.

He led the courtiers out of Deqing Hall happily.

King Pingzhang and the two princes froze on the spot. After everyone had gone away, the Queen looked at her son who was still on the ground and said: "You have no future, just such a little military merit, and you are so happy that you are like this." "

The fifth prince and the sixth prince said with a bitter look on their face: "Mother, queen, you have to save us."

The queen was frightened by the sudden reaction of the two people: "What's wrong?"

The three people gathered around and said, "Mother, fighting costs money. The officials have no money, how can we still fight?"

The queen looked at the three people with mournful faces and felt quite disappointed. She sighed and said, "The Ministry of Revenue will allocate funds on its own. What's more, you are leading the army this time, so the Ministry of Revenue dares to shortchange you."

The queen didn't take it seriously. The three princes looked at each other and suddenly knelt down. Prince Pingzhang said: "Mother, it's not that my sons and daughters don't want to go, it's that all the money in the household treasury has been spent by us."

After saying that, King Pingzhang lowered his head, and the fifth and sixth princes also lowered their heads with guilty conscience.

The queen looked in disbelief and said: "The money in the treasury of the Ministry of Hubu is in charge of it. How can you two touch the money in the treasury of the Ministry of Hubu?"

King Pingzhang saw that he still had an expression of disbelief, raised his head and said: "We signed a repayment agreement with the Ministry of Revenue, and now the time has expired."

The three of them knelt down and lowered their heads, not daring to look at the queen.

The queen felt vaguely uneasy and said, "Agreement? What exactly is going on?"

The three of them heard a buzz in their heads that they were about to explode.

The sixth prince was the most timid. As soon as he heard the queen's tone, he felt that this matter was of great importance.

He said: "We had a duel with several young masters from the Xie family and lost four million taels of silver."

When the queen heard this, lightning flashed through her mind.

"Four million taels?" She opened her mouth and looked at her three sons kneeling below with disbelief.

They said nothing, staring blankly at the ground.
