Chang 'an City, Weiyang Palace.
Beside Liu Bang's dragon throne.
Two gorgeous chairs had already been added. One was for the Crown Prince Liu Ying, who was in charge of supervising the country, and the other was for the Empress Lu Zhi, who was assisting the government. It was only a little shorter than the dragon chair.
At this moment, Crown Prince Liu Ying and Empress Lu Zhi were sitting here.
Prime Minister Xiao He, Marquis Liu Zhang Liang, Marquis Huyou Chen Ping, General Fan Kuai, Marquis Wu of Wei Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying, Cao Can, Guan Ying and other civil and military ministers stood on both sides.
"Empress."
"Us officials have not seen Your Majesty for a long time since the day the king went to war. I wonder if Your Majesty's condition has improved and if it is convenient for you to summon us?”
"That's right, Empress, His Majesty is the ruler of a country, how can he not meet the officials for many days!”
" What illness has His Majesty contracted? Please tell the ministers about it. Now the people in Chang 'an City are in panic and are saying that His Majesty has an accident!”
"This country cannot be without a ruler for a day! Even if His Majesty is sick, he should at least tell us personally.”
"Empress, please reconsider and allow us to visit His Majesty to express our loyalty to His Majesty!”
"I know a divine doctor who can treat Your Majesty…"
...
In the main hall.
Countless ministers stood out and reported to Lu Zhi.
Ever since the day Liu Heng went to war, Emperor Liu Bang suddenly fainted and fell ill. Many days had passed, and he had yet to recover.
This matter of the court was all decided by Empress Lu Zhi!
As for Crown Prince Liu Ying,
Although he was called the Imperial Supervisor, he was weak and indecisive by nature. Especially when Empress Lu Zhi spoke, Crown Prince Liu Ying did not even dare to say a word!
This also caused many ministers to secretly criticize him.
"Alright!"
"All ministers, quiet down!”
On the Empress's seat, Lu Zhi looked at these officials and frowned.
She had never expected this!
This group of damned ministers actually wanted to see the Emperor and even took the commoners to arrest him. This made Lu Zhi extremely angry!
However!
Lu Zhi, who had a ghost in his heart, did not dare to do anything!
In fact.
Since ancient times,'murdering a king' was an absolute crime!
Therefore, even someone as powerful as Lu Zhi had been very careful these days. He did not dare to let Liu Bang die suddenly and arouse the suspicion of the world!
Especially recently!
Rumors were spreading in Chang 'an!
What emperor was poisoned!
What emperor had passed away?
What Empress and Crown Prince kept a secret!
What murderer used the Crane's Top Red?
....
Wait, wait, wait!
These rumors had somehow spread throughout Chang 'an. Even Lu Zhi could not arrest the person who spread the rumors!
During this period of time, Lu Zhi could be said to have been thoroughly worried!
"Phew!"
Seeing that the entire main hall had quieted down, Lu Zhi heaved a sigh of relief.
She swept her gaze across the ministers and suddenly said with an aggrieved expression,"
"Milords."
"Bengong knows that you are all loyal officials of the Great Han Dynasty. It has been a long time since I last saw His Majesty, so you are very anxious. Bengong can understand this very well. In fact, Bengong is even more anxious than you!”
"His Majesty is the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, and also bengong's husband!”
"But…"
Speaking up to this point, Lu Zhi forcefully dropped a few drops of tears from his eyes,
"The Imperial Physician of the Imperial Academy of Medicine personally told Bengong that His Majesty's condition this time is quite serious!”
"All these years, His Majesty has been out fighting all over the world and has been suffering from a body full of illnesses. In addition, he caught a cold on Mount Baishan and suddenly fell ill!”
"So even BenGong can only see His Majesty once every three days!”
"Once His Majesty sees a foreign official, his condition will become extremely unstable. At that time,"
In fact.
Since Lu Zhi intended to carry out this "regicide" action, she had long arranged all the links without leaving any flaws. How could she be controlled by a few ministers?
In the main hall.
Upon hearing Lu Zhi say this.
Instantly!
The ministers who had been clamoring to meet His Majesty and express their feelings all fell silent, not daring to mention anything like " meeting His Majesty ".
This!
Lu Zhi had made his words clear!
His Majesty was in danger. If anyone insisted on meeting the Emperor and His Majesty died at this time, then!
As a subject.
None of the officials present dared to bear the heinous crime of "jinxing the king's father" and be cursed forever!
"Haha."
"This Empress is indeed powerful!”
Among the ministers.
Looking at Empress Lu Zhi, who was able to make the officials shut their mouths with just a few words, Zhang Liang could not help but sneer in his heart. He sighed at Lu Zhi's viciousness and also sighed at his brilliant methods!
Others did not know!
But he, Zhang Liang, with the help of the Shadow Guards, was extremely clear in his heart!
Originally.
Although Zhang Liang respected Liu Heng as his master, he was still a little worried.
However, he still had the respect of an 'empress' in his heart. After all, she was the mother of a country and the ruler of the world.
However!
Ever since Zhang Liang learned from the Shadow Guards that Lu Zhi and the Lu clansmen played a role in the Emperor's illness, Zhang Liang's respect for Lu Zhi had completely vanished!
Especially!
Shen Shiqi, the Marquis of Piyang, had actually stayed in Jiaofang Palace for several nights while the Emperor was seriously ill!
He wanted to destroy them!
He would first make it crazy!
Zhang Liang wanted to drag this out! He had delayed Emperor Liu Bang's illness until Liu Heng returned. For example, the rumors in Chang 'an City were planned by him and spread by the shadow guards.
