The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world
Chapter 110: Give the Emperor a Shot
In the Emperor's bedroom, the Emperor dismissed all the eunuchs and looked at Si Yan with a serious expression: "If you have something to say to me alone, can you say it now?"
The emperor rarely spoils someone like this, but since this girl dares to tell the truth, he still values her very much.
Si Yan paused for a moment, then spoke slowly, "I'm fine. I'm just worried about your Majesty's health. Divine Doctor Yunya told me that your Majesty's health is not optimistic and he needs to rest well."
"Yes, that's what Divine Doctor Yunya said." The emperor's expression grew serious and he sighed softly, "Divine Doctor Yunya treated me for a long time and also checked my bedroom. I saw that he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"However, I feel much better now. I rested at the Imperial Concubine's place yesterday. She rubbed my head and I feel much better now."
Hearing this, Si Yan knew that he had to give the emperor a strong injection.
Otherwise, he might not live for many days.
Si Yan said solemnly, "Your Majesty, at this point, I will not hide it from you. There is something wrong with His Royal Highness Prince Yong's medicine."
"What's the problem?" The emperor frowned, remembering what he saw in Prince Yong's mansion that day, and immediately became alert.
Si Yan raised his eyes slightly and looked at the emperor. This emperor had mediocre qualifications and a weak mind. He was able to get to where he is today entirely because of his royal bloodline and the people who assisted him in his youth.
Now, he was bewitched by the Imperial Noble Consort and allowed the Prime Minister's Mansion to grow stronger step by step. He had already realized that he was raising a tiger to harm himself, but the Imperial Noble Consort's coaxing made him return to his original state.
Si Yan had to remind him that the Imperial Noble Consort and the Prime Minister's clique were still ambitious and could endanger his throne and even his life at any time.
Si Yan spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, although Prince Yong's health has been damaged by his imprisonment four years ago, the Yunya Divine Doctor said that as long as he rests well, he should be able to recover. However, according to Yunya Divine Doctor's diagnosis, Prince Yong's health has not recovered in these years. Yunya Divine Doctor examined the medicine Prince Yong was using and found that there was something wrong with the medicine Prince Yong took at the Imperial Hospital."
The emperor was surprised. "Are you saying that someone in the Imperial Hospital tampered with Prince Yong's medicine?"
"That's right, Your Majesty." Si Yan nodded and spoke calmly, "The people from the Imperial Hospital mixed problematic medicine into Prince Yong's medicine, causing the chronic accumulation of toxins in Prince Yong's body, which has gradually damaged him to this day."
The emperor was shocked and looked at Si Yan in disbelief: "Little girl, do you have any evidence?"
"Yes." Si Yan said seriously, "I have brought the problematic medicine here specially. Your Majesty, why don't you summon Imperial Physician Fu and Imperial Physician Wu to the palace to take a look at the medicine?"
The emperor's eyes darkened, and he ordered, "Go and bring Fu Rentao and Wu Haixuan into the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Gu responded outside the bedroom and quickly asked someone to do it.
Eunuch Gu was now very confused. He had originally turned to Si Yan, but yesterday, seeing the Imperial Noble Consort win the heart of His Majesty again, he became confused again...
Unexpectedly, today Si Yan called His Majesty away from the Imperial Noble Concubine again. This girl is quite capable. Now no one on either side dares to offend him.
While the eunuch went to summon the imperial physician, the emperor looked at Si Yan with a deep gaze. Recalling the conversation they had that day, he couldn't help but say, "Little girl, you said that day that my Daxuan army has been suffering from a long-standing illness. If I want to strengthen the army, can you talk to me for a whole day and night?"
"Your Majesty still remembers?" Si Yan was a little surprised.
She thought the emperor had already forgotten about it and was just about to find an opportunity to bring it up. Now that the emperor asked about it, it would be easy.
"Of course." The emperor smiled.
He was most worried about two things: the balance of relations in the court, and the army of Daxuan.
That day, the King of Yan threatened in the court that the Yan army of 200,000 was approaching the border, but the capital city had not received any news from the border for a long time, which made the emperor start to reflect and wonder if there was something wrong with the Daxuan army?
Si Yan paused for a moment, then spoke slowly, "When I heard that General Xin Qi, who was guarding Dingshan Pass, was so slow to respond to the Yan army's deployment, I was also very worried about Daxuan's border defense. However, I'm afraid that it will take a while to explain the important military matters."
Si Yan said that he could definitely explain it clearly, but in such a short time, the emperor might not be able to react.
"Go ahead and tell me as much as you can. They won't be here for a while."
The emperor is in good spirits now. He had a good rest at the imperial concubine's place yesterday.
Si Yan did not speak directly, but asked: "I wonder how much Your Majesty knows about my Daxuan army?"
The emperor pondered for a moment, his tone heavy, "I know that our Great Xuan has lost its talented generals in recent years. Apart from Prince Yong and your brother Si Qingshan, there aren't many other generals available."
Ever since the defeat at Beiyan Pass, the Protector General Ling Yuefeng fell ill, and the number of generals in Daxuan seemed to have decreased a lot overnight.
This time when Daxuan was resisting the Beimang Kingdom, there was really no one else available, so he used King Yong.
He really couldn't imagine, if something happened to Prince Yong, who would protect Daxuan's kingdom in the future?
Si Yan took over the emperor's words and said, "In my Daxuan army, not only are there not many generals available, but there are also not many elite soldiers available. Among the hundreds of thousands of troops at the border, only my brother's 20,000 troops are feared by the enemy.
"Your Majesty, among the three armies, the Beimang army is the strongest, followed by the Yan army, and our Daxuan army is the weakest. I am dissatisfied with your Majesty's words. If it were not for our Daxuan's clever strategy and the use of new firearms, we would not have won this battle."
The emperor wiped his face and sighed: "I have no one left in Daxuan."
Si Yan said softly: "Your Majesty, there are many people in Daxuan who want to serve the court and Your Majesty, but..."
"Just what?" The emperor looked at Si Yan intently and asked in a deep voice.
Si Yan also saw that the emperor really wanted to reorganize the army. Although the emperor was not very talented, he was still able to listen to other people's opinions.
If he didn't have Concubine Xin by his side, he might still be a good emperor.
It’s a pity that he was bewitched by the Imperial Noble Consort, causing all the civil and military officials in the court to become vassals of the Imperial Noble Consort and the Prime Minister’s party.
Si Yan looked calm: "It's just that the official path is controlled by others. Talented generals can't get promoted, while those without talent are just taking over. Ling Mohan is such a talented general, but he has been working as an ordinary guard in the capital. If it weren't for Your Majesty's keen eye for talent, he might never have made a name for himself.
"Your Majesty, this is enough to show that there are serious problems in the promotion and selection of generals in our Daxuan Military Department."
The emperor thought of the Minister of War Dong Yi and could not help but sigh: "This Minister of War really deserved to die, but now he is dead. The position of Minister of War is vacant. I don't know who can take this position."
"Your Majesty, I do have a candidate." Si Yan said softly.
"Who is it?" the emperor asked with narrowed eyes.
"Ling Yuefeng, the Great Protector of the Nation."
The emperor didn't expect Si Yan to be so direct, and his expression darkened. "You're being nepotistic. You just nominated your childhood sweetheart, Ling Mohan, and now you're eager to nominate his father, Ling Yuefeng? Do you think I don't know that the Situ Mansion and the Protectorate General's Mansion have always been on good terms?"
Si Yan smiled and said, "This is called selecting the virtuous without avoiding relatives. If Your Majesty does not accept it, just pretend that I did not say anything and choose another virtuous minister."
The emperor glared at Si Yan and pondered for a while. He really couldn't think of anyone in the court who could take on the position of Minister of War, except Ling Yuefeng, who was recommended by this girl.
