The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

After Xie Yuchu smashed the jade on the ground, Shang Duo stretched out his hand to him: "Dear family, this sword is simple and interesting, can you lend me a look?"

Xie Yuchu did not use the sword in the palace, but a epee without a front. In his words, it is not easy to use a sharp weapon in front of the emperor, so use this kind of edgeless sword.

The emperor praised him for his respect.

At this time, Shang Duo saw something interesting, so he wanted to take a look at it with his sword. As an in-law, Xie Yuchu would naturally not be stingy, and handed it over immediately.

Unexpectedly, Bao Ninghou just held it in his hand, his face suddenly changed, his right hand dropped, and then he missed the sword and dropped it on the ground.

The emperor laughed: "Although uncle is a literati, he has never been a weak scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken. What's wrong today? Is this sword really so heavy?"

The emperor was joking, but he saw that Shang Duo's complexion was pale, and there were big beads of sweat on his forehead, and it took a moment for him to say: "Your honor is disrespectful."

Now I can't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong with uncle? But you are not feeling well? Why don't I call the imperial doctor to show you?"

Shang Duo hurriedly laughed and said: "The emperor loves you deeply, and I feel deeply. However, if the imperial doctor is summoned in the imperial study, it will be the arrogance of the minister. Please rest assured, the emperor, the minister is just temporarily weak."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to something and hurriedly left.

Seeing Shang Duo retreating, Xie Yucee said: "Your Majesty, in the past two months, Marquis Baoning has sent people to the minister's mansion to collect wound medicine several times."

The Xie family has been generals for generations, so there are naturally some secret prescriptions for healing injuries from traumatic injuries.

On the contrary, there are noble people in the palace, and there are few sword wounds.There are not many hidden medicines in the Tai Hospital.

The emperor was startled and said: "Really?"

Xie Yuce nodded: "I dare not lie to Your Majesty."

The emperor wondered: "Could it be that the symptoms of being thrown by the emperor's scissors that day have not recovered? However, in the past three months, my uncle has almost never left the palace, and it seems that there is no abnormality."

Although many relatives and nobles can use famous cards to invite the imperial physician to the mansion for consultation, but in the palace, even Shang Duo had to report to the emperor if he wanted to use the imperial physician.

But as far as the emperor knew, Shang Duo was not sick at work every day, and he never asked himself to see an imperial physician.

In the past three months, the Supreme Emperor passed away, and the Emperor was in charge, Shang Duo was by his side every day, taking care of every detail for the Emperor.

Especially in the first 27 days of the emperor's mourning, he had to do everything by himself. Even Jin You lamented that he had nothing to do when the Marquis of Baoning was here.

Xie Yuce shook his head honestly: "Then I don't understand."

The emperor thought about it carefully, his expression suddenly changed, he called Jin You over and asked, "Did Marquis Baoning go to the Empress Dowager's palace these days?"

Jin You hurriedly said, "Master Shang has indeed visited the Empress Dowager's Palace several times to greet her."

The emperor's face was heavy, and he sighed: "It's my negligence. I guess my uncle was afraid that I would be worried, so he insisted not to show his illness in front of me, so he went to see the imperial doctor in the mother's harem in private."

Xie Yuce was silent for a while before sighing: "In theory, I and Bao Ninghou are in-laws, so I should recommend virtuous people to avoid relatives. However, I feel my conscience and say that when it comes to loyalty to the emperor, Bao Ninghou is really the first one. Far beyond the reach of ministers."

The emperor sat in a daze for a while, then pointed to Jin You and said: "In the evening, go to your mother's harem and call the former imperial physician Ling, I want to ask him personally."

Just like the first time Shang Chanchan saw this old imperial doctor, the emperor also had some doubts when he saw his old-fashioned appearance: This old man with dizzy eyes and trembling hands and feet can really see the doctor right?

So he didn't ask any questions first, and just asked the old doctor to come forward and ask for his own pulse.

Seeing the imperial doctor shaking his hands and touching it for a while, he said: "Your Majesty's qi deficiency has caused a fire recently, and his liver wood is too strong. He must have a bitter mouth and tongue, and he can't rest at night."

"There is nothing wrong with the rest. I have prescribed two medicines here. It doesn't matter whether the emperor drinks it or not. The left and right are the prescriptions for recuperation. It is more important for the emperor to relax."

The emperor saw that he spoke briefly and sharply.It's not like the people in the hospital are afraid of disaster, they say everything inside and out, especially they like to exaggerate the symptoms, and only show what they can do after they are cured.

So the emperor knew something in his mind, withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "That's all right. It's just that I have something to ask you, and you must answer it truthfully."

The old doctor's eyelids drooped, and she couldn't see any expression, she just said: "Whatever the emperor wants to ask, I will naturally know everything, and dare not lie to the master."

The emperor screened everyone away, leaving only Jin You in the house.

Then he asked: "You showed Marquis Baoning the hand injury that day, how is his injury?"

The old imperial doctor paused and said: "The pulse case of the imperial hospital did not hurt the muscles and bones, just need to rest."

The emperor's heart sank: "The pulse case is so, what about the reality?"

The old doctor's voice was old, and it was hard to hear, especially the emperor: "The scissors are sharp, and the emperor threw it with great force. Marquis Bao Ning blocked it with his hands that day, so naturally it hurt his muscles and bones. "

"Besides, Lord Shanghou is stubborn and refuses to rest and take medicine. Don't say that my minister's medical skills are poor, even if Hua Tuo and Bian Que are alive, they can still save patients who have to follow the doctor's orders."

"Needless to say that the root cause of the disease will surely fall in the future, even now, whenever it is cloudy and rainy, the Marquis of Shang is in unbearable pain. He has gone to the Empress Dowager's Palace several times to ask for medicine from the humble minister."

"Bisheng Hou Ye still refuses to rest now, so when he grows older in the future, he will become even more powerful. It is estimated that it will be difficult to even pick up a pen and write in two years."

The emperor's expression changed suddenly, and his voice became sharper: "That day, I believed that you were an old imperial doctor who had served in the palace for many years, and was appreciated by the queen mother, so I only entrusted Marquis Baoning's injury to you to heal."

"The pulse case also clearly stated that there is no problem! Now you tell me that his injury is so serious, how dare you commit the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

The old doctor knelt down tremblingly slowly, and there was no sign of fear on his old face, he just said: "Marquis Baoning insisted on not asking me to write the truth on the pulse case, and the Empress Dowager also ordered Come down, I dare not disobey."

The emperor's face was gloomy like a snowy sky.

At this time, in the Empress Dowager's Palace, Shang Chanchan was holding the Empress Dowager's cat, Big Chrysanthemum, reading a book of travel notes to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager Shang leaned on the Wanfu satin cushion, squinting her eyes and listening carefully.

It wasn't until Shang Chanchan came to an end that the Empress Dowager sighed: "I entered the imperial palace when I was a teenager, and the past few decades have been in this square world. I can only listen to these scenes in books." On the contrary, you child, this mountain, river, sun and moon, will be easy to go out and see in the future."

Shang Chanchan nodded, seeing that there was no one else in the hall, she asked softly, "Auntie, the emperor has summoned old lady Wei."

The Empress Dowager smiled as usual: "Look at your hesitation to speak, after all, you are still young and not stable enough."

Shang Chanchan put the cat in her hand on the ground, then also sat on the couch beside the queen mother, raised two thin white fingers, and whispered: "Auntie, today our family will commit two serious crimes of deceiving the emperor, no matter how prudent I am, You can't help worrying."

The two major crimes of bullying the emperor she referred to, the first is Jia Baoyu's psychic jade.

The unbreakable real jade was taken away by a monk long ago, and he didn't know whether it was in the sky or in the world.

The piece that General Xie smashed just now was made by the craftsmen of Baoning Hou Mansion according to the blueprint.

It is true that Shang Jun went to Jiangnan, but he just wandered around Jiangnan twice, and came back after traveling at public expense.

And the other crime of deceiving the emperor was naturally Shang Duo's illness.

The scissors that the former emperor used that day, although blood was dripping from the piercing of Lord Shanghou, but in fact it did not hurt any muscles or bones.

Marquis Baoning's vigor and vigor in the court for the past three months was not the emperor's presumed bravado, but was really alive and kicking.

It's just that Shang Duo had thought of retreating bravely early on, so he used these three months to set up a small game to arouse the emperor's suspicion.Sure enough, the emperor summoned the old doctor Wei today.

The queen mother patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "It's okay. It's rare that your father is not the kind of person who is blinded by power. Otherwise, after this year, he just wants to dominate the position of prime minister and won't come down. He must be hammered down. Fortunately, he is not confused and knows how to pretend to be sick."

The people in the world who understand the temperament of the current emperor best are the sister and brother of the Empress Dowager Shang.

The emperor is narrow-minded and mean-spirited, with a clear distinction between likes and dislikes.When you like someone, no matter how you look at it, it is good, but once you feel disgusted, what the other person does is wrong.

Just look at how he treated the former concubine Liu Gui.

So Shang Duo had already planned to run away quickly.

However, people are always contradictory individuals. Although the emperor is narrow-minded, he also values ​​feelings and hates betrayal.

If Shang Duo resigns resolutely without reason, the emperor will definitely feel that he has been betrayed, and even his uncle is unfamiliar with him, unwilling to trust him, and unwilling to serve the court.

It can't be said that after being sad, resentment will be born.

The closer people are, the more embarrassing they are, and the more irreversible it is.

What's more, this relative is still the emperor who can decide the life and death of his family, so Shang Duo couldn't help but make plans in advance.

He is well versed in the emperor's mind, so he acted like this.

The emperor mistakenly thought that he was especially loyal, and he did not hesitate to stick to it despite his illness.

Sure enough, the emperor asked the old doctor Wei to step down, and then hurriedly announced the Marquis of Baoning who had just left the palace to enter the palace.

When Shang Duo stepped into the imperial study room again, he saw two imperial doctors standing below.

The emperor said bluntly: "These two are imperial physicians in the palace who specialize in traumatic orthopedics. I am not at ease about the old injury of my uncle's right hand, so I asked them to come and show my uncle."

Shang Duo's complexion changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "I thanked the emperor for his concern, but the injury has lasted for a long time, and it will be fine long ago."

The emperor interrupted: "Does the Marquis of Baoning want to resist the edict?"

Only then did Shang Duo purse his lips slightly, and after a long silence, he said: "I dare not."

At this time, Shang Chanchan, who was leaning beside the queen mother, also raised her own doubts: "Auntie, the old imperial doctor Wei is your confidant, but the dozens of imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are all masters of Xinglin. Asking someone to see a doctor for him, wouldn't it be revealing instead?"

After all, no matter how powerful the queen mother is, she can't sew the entire mouth of the queen mother together.

Of course, she who is asking the question now does not know that her father is currently receiving treatment from another imperial physician in front of the imperial court.

The queen mother smiled and said with a smile: "Silly boy. Think about it carefully, what are the imperial doctors in this palace good at?"

Shang Chanchan thought for a while, and finally realized: the imperial physicians in the palace, except for a few highly respected old doctors who specialize in diagnosing the emperor's pulse, are considered decathlons, and most of the rest are good at women and children or health preservation.After all, most of the masters in the palace are still girls and children.

Empress Dowager Shang said: "There are only two imperial physicians in the palace who are pessimistic about bone injuries. They were called into the palace by the former emperor when he was alive."

"The two of them have been very free these years. Although the prince in the palace has learned to ride and shoot in a decent way to please the emperor, except for Rang'er, everyone else is just a show."

"Furthermore, their daily practice of archery is supervised by their masters, and the eunuchs take care of them. They seldom even cut their hands, let alone injuries from falls."

Shang Chanchan nodded and couldn't help smiling: "I understand. As long as the two of them don't talk nonsense, it's fine. Besides, none of the imperial physicians in the palace dare to say that people are not sick."

As the so-called parental heart of doctors, it stands to reason that patients should be reassured.

However, the imperial physician in the palace is not so much a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded as a service worker, and they have to please the masters in everything.

So this way of speaking is naturally different from that of outside doctors.

Let’s talk about the seriousness in advance; if it is serious, it is because the condition is too serious to avoid punishment; if it is cured, it will show that you have excellent medical skills-it is the best of both worlds.

Even if the emperor summoned the nearby imperial physicians at this time, they must not have dared to say: Marquis Baoning's hands have already recovered and are no different from ordinary people.

What if the Marquis of Baoning suddenly said that he couldn't move his hands in the future?

With his powerful position, no imperial doctor can afford this responsibility, so naturally he has to keep his words vague.

And when Shang Duo stepped into the imperial study and saw the faces of the two familiar imperial physicians, the last string that was vaguely tense in his heart was loosened.

After the matter was relaxed, I couldn't help but have mixed feelings in my heart: After all, he was the one who plotted against the emperor first.

For the word loyalty, he used to dare to say that he had a clear conscience.

But from today onwards, he can no longer.

The two imperial physicians both entered the palace when the first emperor was alive, and now they are past the age of knowing the fate, with gray beards and hair.They went forward to greet Marquis Baoning, and then studied his hand for a while.

Before they opened their mouths, Shang Duo said: "Do the two imperial doctors want to see that my hands are flowers? After so long - the hands belong to me, whether it hurts or not, and whether I can move it, don't I know? "As he spoke, he moved his right hand: "It's been fine for a long time."

The emperor was holding a vermilion pen in his hand and was approving those irrelevant greeting papers. At this time, the scarlet pen tip pointed at the two imperial physicians: "I want to listen to you."

Marquis Baoning had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, coughed lightly and winked at the two imperial physicians.

Naturally, these small actions fell into the eyes of the emperor, so now he said to the two imperial physicians with a more emphatic tone: "Tell the truth!"

If Shang Chanchan was here, she would probably cover her face: Dad, your drama is too much!If it was the eldest brother, at this time, his expression should be flat but slightly sentimental, helpless, and guilty.

Three points are just right.

It was precisely because Marquis Baoning played so much that the two imperial physicians who had not seen Tianyan for a long time were startled by the emperor's tone and exaggerated the illness they had already memorized.

One of the imperial physicians, surnamed Yao, shook his hands and said: "Winter will come in a month or so. The winter in Beijing is bitter and cold, and it will not help the disease of Marquis Baoning. It is time to go to the sunny and warm south to take care of it."

He was simply too nervous, so he casually uttered his professional knowledge: It is true that people with old injuries should avoid bitter cold.

But Imperial Physician Yao was too nervous and forgot that Marquis Baoning was not a real patient. Seeing the emperor's gloomy face, he talked more and more.

Shang Duo was dumbfounded on the spot: Although he intends to retire, he is not planning to leave the capital these few years!He still has two sons who have yet to get married, and a prospective son-in-law killed the enemy on the battlefield!

If the emperor really listened to this doctor Yao and sent him back to the south of the Yangtze River to recuperate, he would be beyond his reach.

What's more, Lin Ruhai has now left Beijing to avoid the misfortune of Rongguo Mansion.

Doesn't that mean that all affairs are burdened on the eldest son alone? !

Shang Duo didn't pretend to be a fake this time, but coughed sincerely and reminded Imperial Physician Yao: You have passed!

Only then did Imperial Physician Yao come to his senses, and closed his mouth.

However, the emperor would be wrong, and it is rare for him to say coldly to Shang Duo: "At this point, will uncle still keep it from me?"

Shang Duo: ...

All his life, he could hardly change his rather casual disposition. Sometimes he just acted carelessly when he spoke and acted according to his temper.

Sure enough, I will suffer from this.

The matter has come to this, in order not to be dispatched to the south of the Yangtze River under the emperor's concern, Shang Duo hurriedly went back to make amends: "I didn't intend to deceive the emperor. It's just the situation that day. The injury of the minister can only be harmless. Otherwise, it will hurt the father and son of the Tian family even more. And. Besides, if it gets out, the villain will make trouble out of his will, and there will be a lot of trouble in the city."

The first emperor was angry, and accidentally injured Bao Ninghou by throwing scissors, which is different from abolishing his hand. The former is a trivial matter, but the latter is abolishing a prime minister!

The emperor sighed: "Sure enough, uncle is all for me. But now that I am the only emperor, why is uncle still unwilling to say? In the past three months, I have been diligent and diligent, and have not rested for a day."

The emperor's eyes fell on the thicker frost on Baoning Hou's temples, and he became more sentimental: "Could it be that uncle is estranged from me and dare not tell me the truth?"

Shang Duo said with a smile: "When the late emperor passed away, what the emperor said to the minister, the minister will never forget it for a moment."

"It's not that I'm estranged from the emperor, I'm just thinking that after the hundred-day ceremony of the former emperor, the emperor still has a few important things to do - after these few things are over, I will definitely tell the emperor to ask for a few years off to rest. "

As he spoke, he shook his hand, and said as if nothing had happened: "Your Majesty, you don't need to listen to the alarming words of the imperial doctors. I understand with your own hands. At least in the past two years, I will not delay in writing and doing things. After all, I am entrusted today. After seeing Xie Yu Book's sword is a little curious, it's unbelievable that it's so useless..."

The emperor only felt sore in his heart, and after a while he said: "Uncle, I understand that you are going to rest assured to recuperate after you help me get rid of the houses of those old ministers with beetles."

Baoning Hou said solemnly: "Your Majesty, it is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the country and the king."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and suddenly threw the vermilion pen in his hand vigorously, and the bright red that rolled on the ground looked like fresh blood.

Now I can't help thinking of the blood that Marquis Baoning spilled all over the ground that day, and I feel like a green plum is choked in my throat, sour and bitter.

The author has something to say: Shang Duo: Sorry, the show is over.

S: Your majesty is really simple and unpretentious.
