Quick Wear: After Revenge, I and the Immortal King Renew Our Relationship

The fact that Yuwen Yang was assassinated and fell into a coma was not concealed from the previous dynasty.

An Yan met with Prime Minister Liu and several officials in the Yangxin Palace.

She also brought several imperial doctors with her, after all, it was not convenient for ministers to visit the patients in the harem.

Imperial Physician Wang explained in detail the severity of Yuwen Yang's injuries and that the Imperial Hospital had done its best and that all that remained was to leave it to fate.

After saying that, An Yan asked them to go back and look after Yu Wen Yang first.

The ministers present all had serious expressions. Prime Minister Liu had a stern face and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

They all knew very well that if the emperor could wake up within seven days and recover as before, that would be good.

But if he fails to wake up or becomes bedridden and unable to govern, he will face the problem of no successor.

Yuwen Yang had no children. Neither the previous emperor nor he came to the throne peacefully, which resulted in there being no boys of appropriate age to be adopted in the royal family.

But there was silence at the scene, and no one wanted to be the first to say such outrageous words.

"What are the Royal Concubine's plans next?" Prime Minister Liu passed the message to An Yan.

An Yan's face showed sadness, "What else can we do except hope that the emperor gets better soon?" She moved slightly, as if she was about to faint in the next second.

Xiao Dezi came over at the right time to support An Yan, "Master, please sit down quickly! You haven't been able to eat lately, and you've always felt nauseous and want to vomit. What if you hurt yourself?"

An Yan placed her left hand on her lower abdomen and sat back slightly on the chair.

She nodded slightly apologetically, "My lords, I'm sorry."

Prime Minister Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

An Yan lowered her head and smiled implicitly.

The ministers' minds became active. This posture clearly meant that she was pregnant with an imperial heir! Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, at least there was a successor.

Prime Minister Liu wanted to ask more, but An Yan said sadly, "The emperor is in such a state now. I want to hold a prayer ceremony for him, so that I can pray to the heavens to bless him to wake up soon. Otherwise, what should we do?"

"Your Majesty is right! Our Ministry of Rites will take good care of it and pray for the Emperor." The Minister of Rites bowed.

"Thank you, sir!"

An Yan looked at the ministers, all of whom had smiles on their faces, and Prime Minister Liu, who still had a heavy expression on his face, and asked, "Prime Minister, do you have any other questions?"

Prime Minister Liu examined An Yan and then said, "I was just wondering if you have found out who the assassin was?"

Xiao Dezi stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, the assassin is from Luo. He was once saved by Concubine He, and after learning that she was forced to marry, he wanted to save her from suffering, so he came here so rashly."

"He got lost in the Imperial Gardens and happened to see Lu Chang seeking favor. He followed her secretly and attacked her in the middle of the night."

"The assassin has now committed suicide out of fear of punishment. When Concubine He learned of this, she was deeply concerned about the impact on diplomatic relations between the two countries and expressed her willingness to die in atonement. Her body remains in Yonghe Palace."

An Yan sighed, "Hepin was also an unprovoked disaster. I think I will bury her in the concubine's mausoleum."

"However, the Imperial Guards were found to be ineffective in providing protection, and their leader was dismissed, and the officer on duty was fined three years' salary. Consort Lu was also found guilty of allowing thieves into the palace, leading to the assassination of the Emperor, and was therefore banished to the cold palace. Do you have any objections, my Lords?"

"Empress Shengming!"

Ministers who can reach high positions are very aware of the current situation. It is not certain whether An Yan and her son will rule the world in the future. There is no need to offend her over such a trivial matter.

Prime Minister Liu moved his lips, but didn't say anything in rebuttal.

The ministers had already left. An Yan leaned back in her chair and touched her belly.

Oh, I feel so full after eating too much for breakfast.

Thinking of the deal between her and Hepin, An Yan smiled faintly.

She was not interested in the emotional entanglement between Concubine Han Yanran and the assassin Jian Yuheng, but she was very interested when Han Yanran proposed to exchange unmined refined iron ore for Jian Yuheng's life.

After all, refined iron is scarce. It can be used to upgrade the equipment of the Qiao family army, and it can also be used to trade with the system to upgrade Tuanzi.

The mine is located in Luoguorongzhou, not too far from the border between the two countries, and can be used for one's own purposes.

Of course, we are not afraid that they will escape. The system's medicine is not easy to use and the antidote needs to be taken once a year.

Preparations for the blessing ceremony are in full swing.

Unexpectedly, the flood disaster in Jiangzhou was reported to the court in advance.

Disaster relief is imperative, but someone needs to arrange the personnel and supplies.

Yuwen Yang has not woken up yet, so some people in the court have suggested that the imperial concubine should rule the country from behind the scenes.

Some people believe that since there is no empress dowager in the palace, the imperial concubine has the same status as the vice empress, and she is pregnant, it is only a matter of time before she takes charge of government.

Naturally, some people objected, "How can women be allowed to interfere in government? If a hen crows at dawn, wouldn't that disrupt the government?"

Others said, "The Imperial Concubine is only a temporary replacement. She will definitely be returned when the Emperor wakes up. With the help of the ministers in the court, what big things can happen in just a few days?"

"What if the emperor can't wake up?"

"How dare you! How dare you curse the Emperor!"

There was a fierce quarrel in the court and they almost broke out into a fight.

But in the end, the fire was extinguished due to the military deterrence of generals such as Qiao Hanzhou and Fan Heyi, the verbal support of some senior officials and the silence of Prime Minister Liu.

An Yan looked at the last memorial sent over and frowned slightly. She had actually forgotten about the flood. In fact, there was also a flood in the original owner's life.

Unfortunately, Yuwen Yang did not take it seriously at the time, and most of the relief money and grain were embezzled by officials, causing the disaster to become more serious. Later, civil unrest and epidemics broke out, and the situation in Jiangzhou and nearby towns was tragic.

Finally, he tricked the Qiao family into sending Qiao Anyuan to quell the rebellion, causing him to contract an illness and nearly die. Qiao Anyuan spent almost all of the Qiao family's wealth, combined with work-for-relief and the help of a folk doctor, and finally resolved the matter.

The reputation of the Qiao family reached a level that made Yuwen Yang unable to sleep or eat.

It's not too late now.

An Yan looked through the memorials from the ministers. There was a lot of nonsense, most of which were recommendations for candidates for the envoy of appeasement or self-recommendations. After all, this was a "fat job".

Some people even recommended Qiao Anyuan, but no matter what her motives were, An Yan would not let him go.

Only a few plans are well written, such as Shen Yanxi's. You can learn from them.

I picked up my pen and wrote down the plan: The Ministry of Revenue will go to provide disaster relief, and officials from the Ministry of War will escort them.

The Ministry of War has always had conflicts with the Ministry of Revenue. If they are asked to perform supervisory duties, they will certainly do their best.

As for flood control, let the Ministry of Works first check whether to choose to reinforce the embankment or open channels to clear the water, as well as the resettlement site for the victims after the disaster and the site for house reconstruction.

This requires skilled personnel to go there.

In addition, the Imperial Medical Service also needs people to accompany it, and the folk doctor who effectively treats epidemics can also be recruited.

After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. It would be best to take precautions in advance and stop the epidemic at the source.

If you think of any omissions, add them.

Finally, after stopping writing, An Yan leaned back in her chair and moved her slightly stiff neck.

As for the candidate for the envoy of appeasement, a figure gradually emerged in her mind.
