Chapter 778

"This can't be delayed for too long. The medicine has been left to cool for a while, but it is warming now. If it is later, it may be cold. Remember to drink it earlier."

Caixiao muttered a little, and put the bowl on the small table next to the bed for Lin Sui's convenience.

She tucked the quilt for Lin Sui, saluted and left.

As the footsteps faded away, the inner room became quiet again.

Lin Sui lay back on the bed, receiving the memory of the original owner.

This time it didn't have a miserable start, it could even be said to be very good, at least for Lin Sui.

This is an empty dynasty called Jin Kingdom, and the current ruler is Emperor Jinming, the thirteenth monarch of Jin Kingdom.

The original owner was a first-rank imperial official of this dynasty, a minister of the Ministry of Punishment and concurrently the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was granted the title of first-class Zhongliang Duke, and was favored by the emperor.

But he is not a good official, because the emperor is not a good emperor.

The title of Emperor Ming is actually a bit ironic, because the current emperor is fatuous and incompetent, he doesn't like to deal with court affairs, and is addicted to pleasure.

In fact, it doesn't really blame him, because he was raised and disabled.

This matter has to start from the time of the first emperor, who was also the father of the holy emperor. When the first emperor was in power, Emperor Ming was just the most inconspicuous and mediocre prince. That is why he was selected by the queen mother and helped to the throne.

The queen mother is a very ambitious woman. For ten years, the emperor has changed from a young man in his teens to a middle-aged man in his thirties. He has long accepted the fact that he is a puppet emperor, so he doesn't care about it at all. He likes to deal with government affairs, eats, drinks and has fun every day, and occasionally goes on a southern tour, waiting for the mother to choose a seedling from her children as the heir to cultivate.

It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. The queen mother got a sudden illness and passed away two years ago.

The empress dowager is gone, the most confused one is actually the emperor.

He has long been used to living in the shadow of the queen mother, without any ambitions and ambitions for power, and he doesn't know how to handle the government affairs well. Moreover, he has been emperor for more than ten years, and he has long been used to being ruled by the queen mother. People praise life respectfully before and after, and don't listen to harsh advice at all.

So he does everything according to his temper, he can't tell the good from the bad, in short, he does whatever he wants, very unreasonable.

He was stuck on the boundary between a foolish ruler and a bully ruler. There were a lot of complaints from the people, but it was not to the point of rebellion.

Because of the emperor's pleasure-loving temperament, his favored cronies must not be loyal ministers, but a group of people who exercise power.

The original owner is one of the sycophants, a well-known power minister.

He is an out-and-out greedy character, and there is no reason for him to be a traitor, but it took him a lot of effort to climb to this position, and this sick body is also due to this.

The original owner was the son of a petty official in the capital, and if he could not achieve military success, he should live a mediocre life. However, he was not reconciled to such a life and asked his family to find him a good job.

At that time, the queen mother was still alive, and it happened that the news that Chen He, the great eunuch close to her, was going to take in her son.

The original owner realized that this might be his opportunity, so he came to the door shamelessly, doing odd jobs with the person, calling out to his father one by one.

Being able to raise the temperament of the original owner, the original owner's parents are of course not very upright people. On the contrary, they feel that their children work very hard, even if the people around them are ashamed and ridiculed, they don't care.

The original owner finally fell into Chen He's eyes, broke away from the family tree, and was recorded in the name of the eunuch, becoming his son, and then entered the power vortex.

It was the year when the Empress Dowager died that really let him enter the power center. Chen He, who was the number one around the Empress Dowager, was also targeted by other forces after the Empress Dowager died.

The prince invites a banquet, a Hongmen banquet, a glass of unavoidable wine, Chen He is in trouble.

The original owner said that his father was a bad drinker, drank the glass of wine for him, and started vomiting blood when he went out in the carriage.

In fact, the original owner didn't even know that it was a glass of poisoned wine, but everyone else knew it.

Chen He was greatly moved because his son almost died for himself, and asked the imperial physician to treat the original owner with all his strength, and regained the original owner's life.

The original owner also fell to the root of the disease and needed to drink medicine to hang himself.

But he also entered the center of power because of this, and was brought before the Holy One.

The emperor trusted the queen mother very much, so he also trusted the people around the queen mother very much. The original owner was Chen He's son, so he was a plus.

In addition, the original owner is a person who is very flattering and sycophant. He can even run to recognize the eunuch as his son when he has a father and mother, and it is even easier to coax the emperor. The appearance of the emperor greatly satisfied the emperor's vanity, and he trusted him more and more, and his status rose with each passing day.

Half a year ago, Chen He's health also started to deteriorate. He had a premonition that he might not live long, so he was also working hard to pave the way for the son of the original owner.

He transferred the influence in his hands to the original owner's hand little by little, and let the original owner also serve as the head of the House of Internal Affairs, which made many people extremely jealous.

A month ago, Chen He died of illness in Beijing, and the original owner was sitting on everything, without any limelight.

Lin Sui sat up from the bed and drank the medicine at hand.

The bitter taste of medicine filled his mouth, and Lin Sui took a sip of the hot tea placed next to him to suppress the taste.

This opening is different from the previous two worlds, but there is one thing that is actually very similar, that is, the future of the original owner that has not been shown.
