The imperial physician felt uncomfortable under Shen Yicheng's stare.
Fortunately, Shen Yicheng quickly opened his mouth to ask.
"You should have taken His Majesty's pulse every day, right?"
The imperial physician hurriedly replied, "Yes, we have sent someone to take His Majesty's pulse every day and to prepare His Majesty's diet."
"Then why didn't you report His Majesty's illness earlier? Could it be that His Majesty's illness was sudden and could not be prevented? "
The imperial physician's face immediately fell.
How could they prevent something like a stroke on horseback? This was the business of the eunuchs who served His Majesty! What did it have to do with them?
Furthermore, after Zhu Changluo fainted the last time, they did remind Zhu Changluo not to go overboard in bed, but the Emperor had to listen to them!
"You knew that His Majesty was unwell, but you didn't stop him. The Imperial Physician's salary will be confiscated for three months!"
Shen Yicheng had killed the Imperial Physicians with a single blow. The faces of the Imperial Physicians were as bitter as bitter gourds.
Zhu Changluo's body trembled unnaturally.
Then, Shen Yicheng wanted to pursue the crimes of the chief eunuchs who served Zhu Changluo.
Now that the Head of Rites and the Head of Imperial Stables had been crippled, the remaining eunuchs were purely servants. None of them had the ability to resist, so they were left to Shen Yicheng's whims. None of them had the thought of regaining their former glory.
Now that he heard Shen Yicheng wanted to pursue his crimes, the old eunuch beside Zhu Changluo paled and immediately knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
He was very clear that he had no right to defend himself and could only beg for mercy. If he begged for mercy, he might have a better ending, but if he tried to defend himself … how could he defend himself? He was the Emperor's servant, how could a servant force his master to do anything?
If the Emperor insisted on having sex with those palace maids, there was nothing he could do. He had not been a man for many years, and it was impossible for him to help the Emperor bear the burden of those gorgeously dressed palace maids who surrounded the Emperor.
What else could he do?
Zhu Changluo was completely controlled by his lower body. No matter what he said, he still wanted to have sex. What else could he do?
But the current situation required a scapegoat. If he didn't do it, who would? The Emperor?
"Abolish your position and go fetch water!"
In the end, Shen Yicheng did not kill him. Instead, he abolished his position. If he really killed him, Zhu Changluo's life would not be very good in the future. If Zhu Changluo's life was not good, he would probably find trouble for himself.
Shen Yicheng believed that since he was not a traitor, he could not let the obedient Emperor suffer. The Emperor was so obedient, how could he let him suffer?
Zhu Changluo's body trembled unnaturally again.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rudeness. I really can't watch Your Majesty's body be destroyed by these bastards. Your Majesty is the Daming Emperor, the supreme ruler of the world. Your Majesty's safety is of utmost importance. How can you compare it with those lowly palace maids? Your Majesty, please take care of your body! "
Shen Yicheng knelt on the ground and spoke sorrowfully.
Zhu Geng followed suit. Of course, he had to do this at a time like this.
When Zhu Changluo saw Shen Yicheng like this, he hurriedly said with great effort, "Grand Secretary, get up, get up, I don't blame you, I don't … cough, cough, cough …"
Zhu Changluo panicked and started coughing again. Shen Yicheng quickly got up and rubbed Zhu Changluo's back.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must take care of your body. You can't continue like this!"
Shen Yicheng continuously admonished Zhu Changluo, but Zhu Changluo could only sigh with a bitter face.
"Your Majesty, I think that in the future, I should let Zhu Butang teach Your Majesty how to read. It's time for Your Majesty to go to school. It's not too late now. When Your Majesty has enough knowledge, you can take charge of the government. When that time comes, I can also unload this heavy burden on my body earlier!"
Shen Yicheng's words were so sincere that his eyes turned red. When Zhu Changluo saw this, he felt slightly touched and said, "I understand. I … I will restrain myself … from studying."
Only then did Shen Yicheng reveal a slight smile.
When Zhu Changluo saw this, he rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Grand Secretary, how is the capital?"
Shen Yicheng was stunned for a moment.
Then he replied.
"Your Majesty, the capital is safe and sound. Everything is as usual."
"Oh? Is that so? I just heard from the palace servants that the outside of the Imperial City seems to be in chaos. Did something happen? Is it serious? Is there anything you need me to do? Do I still have enough silver in the palace treasury? "
Zhu Changluo continued to ask, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes.
Shen Yi swept his gaze over the people in the sleeping chamber. Then, with a smile on his face, he warmly said, "Your Majesty, please be at ease. The Great Ming Dynasty is stable, and we have enough silver to use. The people in the palace are just hearsay. If something happens in the world, how could this subject not inform Your Majesty?
Your Majesty's body hasn't recovered yet. You need to focus on taking care of your body. Don't pay too much attention to other things to avoid harming your body. Your Majesty, taking care of your body is the most important thing. "
Zhu Changluo's expression seemed to be a little awkward.
"Oh … If that's the case … Then … Then I'm relieved, I'm relieved. Grand Secretary, I … entrust the state affairs to Grand Secretary. I hope that Grand Secretary will do his best to protect my Great Ming Dynasty."
Shen Yicheng retreated to the side of the bed and bowed to Zhu Changluo.
"Your old subject, Shen Yicheng, will not disappoint Your Majesty! I will protect the Daming's empire for generations to come! "
When he came out of the bedroom, Shen Yicheng's expression was very gloomy.
"Jianwu, why did you keep signaling me with your eyes?"
Zhu Geng followed Shen Yicheng out and looked strangely at Shen Yicheng.
"Shaoqin, the noise outside the palace can't reach His Majesty's bedroom. How did His Majesty know about the turmoil in the capital?"
Zhu Geng was stunned for a moment, then he frowned.
"His Majesty first woke up and then asked me to find you. On the way to find you, I heard some palace servants talking about the turmoil outside the palace. Then, I came back with you. His Majesty must have heard the palace servants talking about these things and then found out. What's wrong? "
Shen Yicheng shook his head.
"Nothing. It's just that these are troubled times. Don't let His Majesty know about Li Hualong's defeat in Yangzhou. Otherwise, His Majesty will worry again. His Majesty's body isn't well and needs to recuperate. If you can stay by His Majesty's side, do so."
Zhu Geng was surprised, "Li Hualong's defeat in Yangzhou?"
"Yes, I just received the news. I'm focusing all my energy on this matter. You must stay by His Majesty's side and take good care of him. Nothing must happen to him. Otherwise, if His Majesty is angry, I don't know what will happen."
Zhu Geng suppressed his surprise.
"I know all these things, but Jianwu, how did Li Hualong lose? If he lost, Yangzhou would be gone. Once Yangzhou is lost, the canal would be wide open. Not only would the grain route be blocked, what if Xiao Ruxun … "
Shen Yicheng stopped Zhu Geng from continuing.
"I know what you're talking about and I have a plan. You don't have to say anymore. Shaoqin, do your job well. Don't let His Majesty know what he shouldn't know. Otherwise, His Majesty will worry and hurt his health."
With that, Shen Yicheng left the bedroom, leaving Zhu Geng staring at his back in shock. He couldn't calm down for a long time.
Li Hualong was gone, Yangzhou was lost, and the gate to the north was wide open. Was there anyone in the capital that could deal with Xiao Ruxun's army?
Had Xiao Ruxun encountered any enemies along the way?
How would the people of the world view this defeat?
How would the world develop in the future?
It could even be said that …
Zhu Geng turned around and looked at the bedroom in front of him.
What would be the fates of the little Emperor in the bedroom in front of him and the Retired Emperor in the West Yuan Yuxi Palace?
