Who can guarantee a lifetime without illness?

As long as people eat grains and live in this world, there is no guarantee that they will not get sick, no matter how great of a peerless martial art master you are.

Zhang Ping was tired, but made an effort to open his eyes at the sound of the invocation coming from outside.

The big man, who was sound asleep with his hands on his waist, also wriggled a little, and mumbled, "Good morning."

"Morning." Zhang Ping tried to sit up, but the man who restraining his waist refuses to let go.

"What do you say about me changing the time of the morning court from the beginning of the dawn (today's 5 o'clock) to the beginning of the dusk (today's 9 o'clock)?"

"The ministers will go mad with joy, but there will be no shortage of appeal. There may even be a few who will come out and bang their heads against the wall in protest to maintain the ancestral system.

"That is to say, they don't want to sleep in, just because I want to be lazy.They had no choice but to make show of appealing and protesting, in short, they did all the things that loyal officials and good generals should do, and because I am bent on having my own way they have to accept a change in the morning court hours. And in the end they could sleep in and leave a good name, while I was left with the name of a faint-hearted ruler. Is that so?

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Ping slapped away the dragon's claws that were fumbling at his chest and got off the bed and stepped over him to get dressed.

After getting dressed, Great Eunuch Zhang also announced outside, "the emperor is up. "

With these four words, thus the day began early morning in the Royal Dynasty of Daya.

This is the second year since Emperor Pingwu's accession to the throne, and while the year before has not been a smooth one, but it has been no big deal either. If anything, King Yu, who holds about a third of the military power in Daya, was so angry with his youngest son that he suffered a stroke and is now confined to his bed.1

As for what his youngest son had done to this Wangye who was once a general that he was so angry and became paralyzed practically no one in the capital know anything about it.

King Yu's youngest son, Huangfu Mingfang, slept with his old man's concubine, and that concubine's belly is now big, but he doesn't know whether this child should call King Yu's daddy or grandfather.

This is not the most exasperating thing. What makes Yu Wang sad and angry is that his little son not only slept with his woman, but he also fight with his eldest brother, Mingxiu the eldest son for the right to inherit the throne. Finally, he stole his military commander's seal as a threat.

What's more, the big belly concubine stole the commander's seal from Huangfu Mingfang and disappeared.Now King Yu is not only sad and angry, he's going crazy!

What a great crime is it to lose the commander's seal?

If no one knows, he can still spend time trying to find the seal quietly.

But somehow the news leaked out. The next day, almost half of the people in the whole capital knew that a concubine in Yu Wang's mansion had stolen King Yu 's seal becausebecause she could not bear the double torture and abuse of this father and son, and now she had fled to an unknown location.

As soon as King Yu sent someone to look for her, there came an imperial decree to let him bring his troops into the palace

King Yu collapsed , without any hesitation or room for error, with a crash.

When Zhang Gonggong came, he honestly conveyed emperor Pingwu's reassurance: Don't worry, just rest your old self and get well. His Majesty said that he would have the talisman retrieved, and that the descendants of the Huangfu family would not be strayed.However, it seems that the talisman is not very safe in your old place. For the sake of the stability of the imperial dynasty and to prevent people from taking advantage of it, the talisman will be placed with him for the time being after it is retrieved. In addition, His Majesty also said that when your son or grandson grows up, if he is successful, he can be given the talisman again.

At this point, King Yu understood that he had fallen into a trap, but even if he knew, what could he do?

The person who laid the trap was far more clever than him. The people at fault were all his family member, Those who stole the military talisman was his son and his concubine, and outsiders did not intervene halfway, so even if he was aggrieved, he could not blame anyone else. When this happened, even several generals who supported him could only stand next to his bed and shake their heads and sigh that he had no one to succeed him. The eldest son is weak and incompetent, the youngest son is smart, but he is not good enough to succeed since he has a bad heart and lustful.

If the newly crowned Emperor Pingwu had been a weak leader, even if he had been a conformist kind of emperor, King Yu, who had spent most of his life as a soldier, would not necessarily have fallen. But he was not!

He was not only not weak, but also an Iron-blooded emperor who could lead his troops into battle, and who won great battles and was made a demon marshal by his enemies.

The military generals were already obedient to him, and now that this has happened to King Yu, almost 90% of them feel that it is better for Emperor Pingwu to take back the military talisman, regardless of whether there is something fishy in it. It was also true that King Yu is old and has no successor. Compared with an old prince who can't lead soldiers to fight, the generals really prefer that his majesty recover one third of the military power.

Moreover, now that a new emperor has ascended to the throne, is it not time for this previous division of power to be redrawn as well?

Thus, Emperor Pingwu took back a third of the military power, and the original owner, King Yu, became bedridden. The youngest son of King Yu was reduced to a concubine and exiled to the north to herd sheep for various crimes. And the pregnant concubine, no one knows where she has gone.

All is well that ends well, at least for Emperor Pingwu.

As for how it makes other people feel, that's for others concern.

And probably the most apprehensive of these others was General Yan Yanjing. This is why he did not do much to stop him when his daughter, who is also the mother of the current emperor, Imperial Dowager Consort, was half forced to be sent to the Jing'an Temple

Now, Yan Jing sighs deeply at the thought of her daughter, who is about to go crazy because of her failure to learn to meditate in Jing'an Temple.

"Reporting to your majesty, this official have something to tell you. "

"Oh?" Emperor Pingwu swept his eyes down the steps slightly, did his wily grandfather finally relent?

"Is there another enemy at the border? "

"The emperor is brave, powerful and famous. How dare foreigners invade Daya. What I want to report is not military, but.... "

Zhang Ping felt a slight headache and a little lethargic.He couldn't help but move the center of his left foot to his right.

Zhang Ping's change of position was actually very inconspicuous, but it was immediately noticed by the man sitting above him.

Zhang Ping's face doesn't seem to look very good today He doesn't seem to be very good since he got up in the morning. Did I go too far last night?

The concept of "Zhang Ping being sick" was apparently not on the mind of Emperor Pingwu, who was under the impression that this man was so sturdy that he could still make love to him even if he was seriously injured. Last night, on a whim, he found a way to strip Zhang Ping naked and tie him up into a and bind Zhang Ping into a zongzi ( meat dumplings.). He had fun in the pavilion for half an hour, came back and made him scream in the bath in the name of cleaning up, and then ...... then it was very normal, except that last night he was in high spirits and didn't want to sleep after finishing. Although it depends on Zhang Ping's mood, so he made some toys and played with Zhang Ping for a while, and then Zhang Ping became angry, So He obediently went to bed after finishing his normal position.

Last night was not too much. Although it depends on Zhang Ping's mood, there will always be chances like this every once or twice a month. He never seen Zhang ping get overwhelmed before

When Emperor Pingwu thought about this in his mind, The words of his grandfather, General Yan, naturally fell on deaf ears.

"...... filial piety is the first of all virtues, and My ancestors never disrespect filial piety. Although the late emperor had decreed, but ......"

"What did you just say? "It's not intentional that emperor Pingwu asked. he really did not hear it clearly.

But how did Great General Yan know, he only felt that the face of his grandson, the Supreme, was as ugly as it could be, and with this question even came a hint of murderous aura.

"I said "

"Well, come to the Upper study Room later if you have any business. This is the end of the morning court session, dismissed!"

Yan Jing is stunned, and his heart is clear. The emperor is unwilling to discuss the matter of taking the imperial concubine back from Jing'an Temple. Also, after all, it is the death of the first emperor. Even if the emperor wants his mother and concubine to return to the palace, he must carefully think about the countermeasures.

Yan Jing's gaze circled the crowd of ministers, hoping for a bold one to join him in facing the emperor whose mere face could send chills down one's spine.

Some of the ministers who had agreed with him to help him speak in the morning court had lowered their heads after seeing his gaze. It was fine if we all spoke together in the morning court, but if we were to face that ...... person alone after the morning court

If it is something that the emperor sincerely wants to do, then so be it, they are sharing the emperor's worries. But if he did not want to disobey the late emperor's wishes, would they not be asking for bad luck by doing so?

No matter how you say it, Yanjing is after all the grandfather of that man. Even if there was something wrong, I'm afraid that person wouldn't do too badly. But what about them? They were not related to this fierce son of heaven

Although Emperor Pingwu has not killed many people since he succeeded to the throne, and has treated them, his old ministers, with courtesy, they are somehow afraid!

It's all because of the face and the figure!

Say your face is already bold enough. Why should you have a tall body that is taller than the average person?

It was no wonder that the barbarians who came to pay tribute were all respectful, not to mention the fact that the one above them had slaughtered them, just the mere fact that he

were taller and more intimidating than them, these northern barbarians were doomed to make them look up.

The outside appearance has already their feet like jelly, but what about the inside.....

The ministers could not help but shrink back again.

Yan Jing sighed in silence, and together with all the ministers, bowed their heads 3 times in respect to see the one on the golden throne rise and leave.

Emperor Pingwu turned his head and looked up and down at Zhang Ping, the chief eunuch who was one step behind him.

The pace was steady, the expression normal, and even the walking posture was as usual. Was it my illusion just now?

Emperor Pingwu was relieved and reassured. That's right, I told you our Zhang Ping is strong, how could he be hurt by that little game last night? He is a master among masters who says he has beaten everyone in the capital.

"Zhang Ping, what reason do you think Yanjing will use to convince me later?"

Zhang Ping sniffs his nose. How does he feel like there is water coming down his nose? And his upper jaw near his throat also hurt like it was on fire.

"Filial piety. "Zhang Ping replied.

"Filial piety? "Emperor Pingwu really laughed.

"Speaking of filial piety, when are you going to let me do my filial duty to your parents?"

Listen to that zhang Ping didn't care about this sentence. it wasn't the first time he had heard him chant this anyway.

But the people around who are incharge in serving and protecting them were all eager to block their ears. From the day Emperor Pingwu ascended to the throne, these two men had been acting as rulers and subjects at court and as husband and wife at the end of court. As long as there is no outsider present, there are only four words to describe their words and deeds: unbridled!They, who were responsible for serving and protecting the emperor, were among the emperor's courtiers and domestic slaves, they were usually well taught by Eunuch Zhang to know the benefits of keeping secrets and the consequences of not keeping secrets.

But you can't either!

We are loyal, The problem is that there are times when people get drunk or talk in their sleep, right?

"They will come to visit me this year, and then you can see them. " Zhang Ping said helplessly, and then hurriedly told him,"Don't frighten them by talking nonsense."

"Zhang Ping, why is your voice so strange? "

"Huh? " Zhang Ping inhaled his snot and listened to his thick nasal sound and doubted," did I catch the cold? "

"A Cold? You? "Emperor Pingwu's voice was also full of suspicion, "Weren't you fine when you got up this morning? How could you be like this all of a sudden?"

"I don't know." As he spoke, Zhang Ping felt two streams of watery snot running down his nostrils. The Great Eunuch Zhang quickly raised his sleeve and wiped it and muttered "I think I'm really sick,"

Emperor Pingwu suddenly stopped in his tracks, and looked at his Zhang Gonggong with and expression as gloom as can be

" you are sick? "

"It seems to be. Well, I haven't been sick in years and I've forgotten what it's like to catch the cold. ha-ha. "Zhang Ping then raised his sleeve to wipe his nose.

「你、生、病、了。」

You, Are , Sick!?

"Yes, yes, you don't have to say it so many times, I know. How can people eat grains and cereals without getting sick? You're making a fuss over a little illness, it's not ......" Zhang Ping's words suddenly stopped, how could he have forgotten!?

How can the Emperor have a sick person stay around him?

No matter who is ill, even the queen must stay away from the emperor to avoid infecting him. What's more, the people who serve him?

Now he is ill, and he is the chief eunuch specially serving the emperor. In other words, he had to be far away from the emperor at once. He could not get close until he was well!

He must to be separated from the emperor?

Does that mean..... They will not eat together, sleep together, even walk together?

"I'm sick. " Now, Zhang Ping finally knows the important meaning of this sentence.

"Zhang Ping, don't let me see you giggling foolishly while saying that! "Emperor Ping Wu said and went to grab the hand of his Grand Eunuch Zhang.

What kind of person is Great Zhang Gonggong? Even if someone else is ill, he is also a peerless expert. So in a flash, he runs far away.

"Your Majesty, your servant is ill and cannot wait on you, so I will go to the Imperial Dispensary to see the doctor on duty. The slave will ask Liu Shun to serve Your Majesty. Your majesty also please take care of your dragon body. "

"Zhang Ping ——! "

Too late, Grand Eunuch Zhang had already darted off towards the Imperial Hospital.

There was silence all around.

Except for the guards whose duty it was to serve, all those who served bowed their heads for fear of provoking the wrath of thunder if they were not careful.

"Set off to the Imperial Pharmacy!"After calming down for about a blink of an eye, Emperor Pingwu spits out five words coldly.

At this moment, General Yan Jing Yan is on his way to the upper study

When he arrived, the eunuch waiting at the door told General Yan that His Majesty had not yet arrived, so Yan Jing had to stand at the door and wait.

Thus he kept waiting for 3 hours
