spring as old

The imperial doctor looked unreliable, but he was able to diagnose the pulse well.Also, the imperial medical office gathers good doctors from all over the world. If you are not proficient in medicine, how can you be an imperial physician.

Sitting beside him, Pu Yang didn't speak, waiting for the imperial physician to feel the pulse on the emperor's wrist.

In the entire Imperial Medical Office, there were only a few who could be sent to treat the emperor. This imperial physician was surnamed Zhou, and since the emperor fainted last time, he was the one attending, so he knew the emperor's condition very well.

After taking the pulse, he respectfully replied: "Last time, the wind and cold came fiercely. Your Majesty is in good health and blessed by God. There is nothing serious about it. However, the root cause of the disease has not gone away. Your Majesty, you still need to take care of your health."

The emperor waved his hand impatiently: "I see."

But Pu Yang asked very carefully: "It's been two months, and it's still not finished? How to take care of it, and how to take care of it afterward?"

Doctor Zhou was about to step back, but when he heard the princess's question, he glanced at the emperor, seeing that the emperor did not object, he spoke seriously again, how to eat, how to use medicine, and how to live in detail.And considering that the emperor's government affairs are heavy, it is impossible to follow them one by one, so he selected the most important ones and talked about them emphatically.Pu Yang doesn't know much about medicine, but at least she knows a little bit, so she can judge some of what the doctor Zhou said. From the beginning to the end, it is indeed good words.

Waiting for the doctor Zhou to babble, the emperor said with a smile on his lips, "Is my son relieved now?" While speaking, he waved his hand to signal the doctor to step down.

Imperial Physician Zhou bent over and saluted, then quietly exited the hall.

Pu Yang felt that this imperial doctor was reliable, secretly looked at his appearance, and remembered this person in his heart, and planned to ask him if His Majesty fell ill again in the future, and when he asked the emperor, he said angrily: " My father can act according to the doctor's words, so my son can really rest assured."

The emperor laughed in a low voice, shaking his head while laughing, the imperial physician had tried his best to simplify, but he held candles every night and was exhausted, so how could he spare time to do these ways of keeping in good health?

Pu Yang also thought about it, and couldn't help becoming a little silent.

The emperor was helpless, with a little indifference between his brows, and he said indifferently: "If your elder brothers can understand the general situation a little bit, instead of fighting for self-interest every day, why should I bother about everything."

It's about the kings, Pu Yang didn't dare to speak easily, he could only say in a low voice: "Your Majesty will discipline you more, brothers Wang will always be grateful for your majesty's painstaking efforts."

The emperor smiled and put aside the subject: "Let's not talk about them, let's talk about you. How are you doing these days? Is the son-in-law obedient?"

As soon as the son-in-law was mentioned, Pu Yang was very happy, with a smudged smile in the corners of his eyes, but he opened his mouth to complain in a low voice: "After Axiu got married, it seems that she doesn't like to go out anymore than before, except for the first few days. Staying at home is not moving."

She was clearly expressing her dissatisfaction, but her happiness was beyond words, and anyone could see her joy at this moment.

She is rarely so delicate and naive, and she is clearly still a little girl. The emperor suddenly seemed to see that many years ago, the empress and Qiniang were playing and fluttering butterflies in front of the court. His eyes warmed up, and his heart softened instantly, and he earnestly urged: "The son-in-law can live in the mountains for a long time, which shows that he is a quiet person. It's normal not to go out, so don't force him. Husband and wife should respect and love each other. Don't let yourself be wronged, but don't suppress it like a princess."

Pu Yang's cheeks were slightly red, and he became a little shy, knowing the emperor's kindness, he also blushed and said: "My son knows." She respects Axiu very much, and Axiu treats her very well.

A gentle smile appeared in the emperor's eyes: "That's good." As if thinking of something, he sighed slowly again.

Seeing this, Pu Yang knew that the emperor had something to say, otherwise, he would not have specially invited her into the palace.Immediately, he calmly suppressed the smile on his face, and said intimately: "Why is Dad sighing?"

The emperor turned his head and looked out of the window. It was already early summer, and the courtyard was lush and full of dense green shade.Loneliness loomed on his face: "Recently, I always think about the past." Maybe it was because Xiao Dewen mentioned King Yan a few times in his ear, maybe it was because he thought of the eldest son who died young when he went to the mausoleum of King Yan. Or maybe it was the illness that made him feel that he was really old. During this period of time, he always thought about those past events.

Pu Yang remained silent, just listening quietly.She knew the emperor well, he would not seek her out to confide in him, let alone show weakness easily, with this sigh, there must be more to follow.

Sure enough, the emperor said again: "It is difficult to start a business, and courage and ability are indispensable. Thinking about those years, fighting with courtiers and Emperor Zhou, one careless move will lead to eternal doom. People are more wise than wise, more brave than others, and more powerful than others." It's ruthless, you have to bear it, you have to bear it, you have to let it go, and there is no shortage of bloody killings. But it is easier to keep the business, even if the owner is mediocre, relying on a group of ministers, you can always govern the country to the same extent." In this way, just It takes a successful king to pass on his achievements.King Jin can do this, so can King Jing.

Unfortunately, the current situation is not so comfortable.

Pu Yang knew the emperor's thoughts a long time ago. He himself is the founding king of the country. He can govern the country and fight wars. There will be wars, and a king who can't make a decision, or can make a decision but can't make a correct decision, is tantamount to putting Wei on top of the eggs.

Pu Yang secretly looked at the emperor, and saw that his expression was not as relaxed as what he said.He looked at the greenery outside the window, and after a little silence, he suddenly turned around and asked, "I heard that Dewen often visits your house recently?"

First of all, we talked about starting a business, vaguely pointing to the establishment of the reserve, and then suddenly pointed out that Xiao Dewen and her had been close before. After thinking about it, he calmly smiled and said, "Father heard about it too? Dewen, this little thing, for some reason, insists on worshiping his son-in-law as his teacher, and the son-in-law doesn't even like to go out, let alone teach him. If you see him coming, you will run away."

The emperor couldn't help laughing: "Such refusals make it hard for Dewen to have the cheek to come to the door." He was observing Xiao Dewen, so he naturally knew that what Puyang said was true. , In less than half an hour, they moved out again as they were.

Pu Yang was also full of smiles, and made a gesture to evade: "Father also talks about German, there are sages in Manjing, there is always someone who can be the prince of the county, and Axiu is lazy, so don't stare at her all the time."

The emperor did not agree, closed his eyes, and said leisurely: "That can't be done. In the past, he was a high-ranking scholar, and he was full of talents. If he couldn't avoid it, the court couldn't work for him. It's different now. He's a son-in-law. They are relatives, even if they don’t have the name of master and apprentice, what’s the point of teaching a nephew? You persuade him, teach him German.” He opened his eyes again, staring at Puyang with burning eyes: “It’s also good for you. "

Pu Yang didn't seem to understand the emperor's suggestion, and said relaxedly: "Tell me about her when you get back there."

The emperor was satisfied.

Dou Hui, who was standing by the side, saw that the two had finished their conversation, and Fang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to deliver the meals."

Pu Yang looked at the sun outside the window, it was indeed noon, the bright and warm sun hung high in the sky, making people more sleepy.I don't know if Axiu can have lunch. It would be a wonderful thing to sleep lazily with her on the small couch under the window on such a sunny day.

Pu Yang was thinking about her family, and the emperor also had ministers to summon her, so she resigned after lunch.

Back in the mansion, the sky was already cloudy, Puyang felt a little pity, called the family order, first asked where the son-in-law was, then asked who came to the door today, and who sent the famous assassin.

After answering the family orders one by one, he presented a stack of famous thorns and said: "These are the ones worth seeing."

There are countless scholars and foreign officials who present famous assassins to see the princess every day, and there are countless people who invite the princess to the house for a banquet every day. The princess only chooses a few people to meet and sit in a few places, and the rest, If the status is high, I will reply with a post. If the official position is low, there is no need for reputation, just ignore it.

Pu Yang took the stack of famous thorns and went to the backyard.

Wei Xiu was bowing her head before the desk, writing something.Pu Yang stopped the maidservant who wanted to salute, and waved his hands to signal the two servants waiting in the room to step back, and walked in lightly by himself.Standing behind Wei Xiu, she didn't make a sound.

Wei Xiu was facing a letter.This is a letter of greetings sent by the governor of Gunzhou. By the way, he also mentioned that this year's weather is not rainy, and it is already a bit dry. If there is no rain in summer, it may hinder the harvest. At that time, the princess will be asked to speak in court. In two words, the people cannot be left hungry for the winter.

This was delivered yesterday, Pu Yang had seen it, put it on the case, and the servant hadn't had time to clean it up.

The governor wrote a good handwriting with a strong character, Wei Xiu liked it, so he copied two strokes.

Pu Yang read Wei Xiu's book, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Oh!"

Wei Xiu was taken aback by her, her hands trembled, and her writing was stained. She immediately said angrily, "What's your name? Have you ever seen anyone write?" There was a smile in her eyes.

Pu Yang was rejected by her, but he was not angry, picked up Wei Xiu's writing, and picked up the letter, and compared them: "I have seen people write, but I have never seen such a similar one." A painting is exactly the same, and even the character has a strong character, and it also has the essence of seven or eight points.

"Just write a few random strokes." Wei Xiu turned the wheelchair, moved it a little, and let Pu Yang sit next to her.

Pu Yang was surprised, but he didn't go into it, he put down the letter and sat next to Wei Xiu.Wei Xiu raised her hand to wipe some beads of sweat off Puyang's forehead: "I left in such a hurry. Is the lunch in the palace?"

"Well, Dad called me to talk about something."

Wei Xiu was not in a hurry to ask what was the matter, but looked at Pu Yang silently, and suddenly smiled.

Pu Yang made her look happy, but also a little embarrassed, so he asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Wei Xiu was also shy, but she still said honestly: "I haven't seen you for half a day, I always feel a little missed."

Yaner's newlyweds are like glue and paint, separated for half a day, it's like three autumns.Pu Yang also missed her, leaned on Wei Xiu's shoulder, and sighed regretfully: "It would be great if we could not be separated for a moment."

But they have a lot to do.Both of them knew that if they wanted to last long, they could only solve the major issues of getting a living.

Pu Yang leaned on her shoulders, feeling her not generous but reliable enough shoulders, Wei Xiu picked up the stack of famous thorns, looked at them, and divided them into two piles, the one on the left was for reception or dinner, and the one on the right Just resign.

"Father seems to have made up his mind. He wants you to teach De Wen and let him know something." Pu Yang leaned against her and didn't get up, as if gossiping.

"Then teach him." Wei Xiu said.I have been teaching for a long time, but from darkness to light.

What Pu Yang was worried about was another thing, if the emperor had made up his mind so early to take Xiao Dewen by his side and teach him for ten years, it might not be easy to influence him at that time.

"If he is really determined, he will definitely support his confidants. As time goes by, it is hard to guarantee that he will not get out of control."

Wei Xiu also thought about this situation.There was a faint smile on the corner of her lips, and she said casually: "How can it be so easy? After setting up a grandson, how will the kings be placed, how will the courtiers persuade? How to balance the old and new courtiers, it is not easy. Your Majesty will turn to the King of Donghai, He will not be completely selfless to him, he must also protect the lives of the kings, so the contradiction will arise. Look, Your Highness, is the county king listening to me or His Majesty?"

Pu Yang tilted his head, Wei Xiu's side face was close at hand, the tip of her nose could almost touch her smooth earlobe, she also turned her head just in time, on her fair face, the facial features were not deep, but they were distinct, and the brows were soft , the eyes are quiet, indifferent, peaceful, breezy and bright, with an ancient gentleman's demeanor, which makes people feel good at the first sight.

However, such a gentleman's style has an elusive deep mind.Sometimes, Puyang feels that they are so close, but there is still a place in Axiu's heart that she has never set foot in.

Seeing her staring at her, Wei Xiu felt a little strange: "I'm not right?"

Pu Yang came back to his senses and said with a smile: "You are right."

Xiao Dewen regards the kings as thorns in the flesh, and now he is obedient, but it is just pretending. Once he gains power, he will always think of the years when he was underestimated, and he will definitely try his best to make up for it.But the emperor was different, he wanted a heir apparent who could take on big things, but the kings were his own sons, and he would definitely protect them.Xiao Dewen's spirit is a little narrow, most likely because he is both jealous and worried about his unstable position.He trusts Wei Xiu very much right now, everything she says comes true, he acts according to what she says, and everything goes smoothly, so he will naturally rely on her a little more, and in the future, when the situation is tense, he will only trust Wei Xiu even more .

She has already made up her mind, Pu Yang will not worry about anything anymore.However, there is another sentence, it is not as good as heaven's calculation. She was destined to die in her previous life.Many things in this life are different, but every time Pu Yang thinks of the night when she drank the poisonous wine, he still has lingering fears in his heart. If he fails again this time, he will not have such good luck and will start all over again.

"Axiu, if we lose..." Pu Yang said in a low voice, she was alone in her previous life and had nothing to fear, if she loses again in this life, she might implicate Axiu.

Wei Xiu smiled calmly: "Even if I lose, it's better to die together..." She watched her drink the poisoned wine, but there was nothing she could do, leaving her alone in the world to taste the heartbreak.

Pu Yang waited for her to continue, but Wei Xiu kept silent, she couldn't help asking: "What's better?"

Wei Xiu smiled, and looked at her softly: "It's better than living under Xiao Dewen and being humiliated for nothing."

Being so free and easy, Pu Yang also swept away the gloom and relaxed.

Jingzhong hadn't noticed yet, the emperor's illness seemed normal, but in fact, it was already turned upside down.

Pu Yang and Wei Xiu were right.The emperor has made up his mind to make Xiao Dewen the reserve.He is getting old day by day, his life expectancy is unpredictable, and the East Palace can no longer be vacant.The kings couldn't count on it, so they simply established their eldest grandson.Xiao Dewen is still young, this is really tricky, but because he is young, he can still teach.As long as he is allowed to live for another ten years and teach for another ten years, Xiao Dewen is a fool, and he should know how to be a king. He will be twenty at that time, not too young, and he will leave a group of reliable ministers for him , and with the elders of the clan like Puyang, the Great Wei will have no worries.

He also considered Wang Shi.The Wang family is a foreign relative, with a large number of talents, and they are well-received in the court. Now that Prime Minister Wang is sitting in charge, although there are a few people in the Wang family who are careful, but generally speaking, they are pretty safe.The owner cannot be counted as a strategist who bullies the emperor. Once Prime Minister Wang dies, the Wang family's power will be intertwined. If there is any evil intention, it will be a real trouble.Xiao Dewen is bound to be unable to hold back, but when he comes to the throne, there will be new relatives, the old and the new are incompatible, just to balance, and then Qiniang will be more sophisticated than now, let her gather some of the Wang family's forces, it shouldn't be Difficult.Dewen is a junior, so there is no conflict with Qiniang, but if it is someone like King Jin who harbors evil intentions, Qiniang may not be willing to suppress his relatives for him.In this way, even the signs of power ministers becoming bigger were killed.

I thought very well.But implementation is not easy.The emperor knew the difficulty, and he didn't think it would be done overnight. He planned to make it happen in a subtle way, and the kings also wanted to let them accept their fate, save one life, and keep a lifetime of wealth. You can't blame him for being a cruel father. .The affairs of the court can change in a blink of an eye, and if it is implemented slowly for a few years, it is enough to change the vicissitudes of life.

The emperor only hoped that God would give him a few more years of life and let him arrange these things.

Since the Sacred Heart has a plan, it is bound to be biased when dealing with government affairs.In autumn, King Zhao vaguely noticed that when he acted, he seemed to be a little stagnant, not as smooth as before, but this stagnation was not so obvious. Besides, looking at King Jing, one of his assassins did a bad job a few days ago. His Majesty dethroned him for the matter. In comparison, his little fetters here are not worth paying attention to, but he gloats more.

The poor job of the governor is the big event of the autumn harvest.

Long before the first wave of winter wheat matured, Puyang entered the palace once.Others have something to report, they need to write a playlist, and pass it up layer by layer, but Puyang doesn't need it, she goes to the palace to report with empty hands.

"There is a drought this year, and the crops are not growing well. I heard that the wheat is shriveled. I'm afraid I won't be able to harvest a few buckets. The imperial court needs to set aside grain for emergencies."

The governor of Gunzhou is a good official who pleads for the people. Pu Yang kept in mind what he wrote in the letter, so he wrote to several other prefectures to ask about it. When the people were about to suffer from hunger, they went to the palace early to report.

Pu Yang was the first person to report this matter, and the emperor took it to heart when he heard what she said. When he went to court, he asked other ministers.How can the Beijing officials know everything about the local affairs?To respond, the prime minister, who is in charge of the court, still knows something to prove what Pu Yang said is true, and the rest are actually few people who know about it.

At that time, the emperor became a little angry, suppressed his anger, and assigned tasks to the state capitals to do a good job in drought prevention.As a result, despite such advance precautions, the governor still starved to death. Not only that, he also wrote to Jingzhong, asking King Jing to turn things around on his behalf, intending to keep the matter a secret.

The emperor cherished his reputation very much, and he couldn't allow anyone to deceive him. This matter was exposed by the royal censor, the emperor was furious, and immediately deposed the censor, blamed King Jing, and issued an edict to reprimand him.

A governor was deposed, and another vassal was reprimanded. The courtiers acted a little more carefully, and the atmosphere in Beijing became a little tense.

Under such circumstances, there was one person who was very excited, and that was Xiao Dewen.

He felt that in the past few months, His Majesty seemed to have cared more about him, often summoned him to ask about his homework, and even brought up important affairs of the court with him once.

He was keenly aware of the changes in the emperor, he was both happy and proud, and fearing that he might be wrong, he hurried to the princess mansion to ask for advice.The treatment he received in the princess mansion is much better now, he could not stay for half an hour before, but now he can barely sit for half an hour.

Wei Xiu didn't like him, so she just finished talking and sent him away, not bothering to pay attention.

Xiao Dewen is a person who is as meticulous as dust, so he naturally noticed it, but one thing, Wei Xiu's words must be true, and following her words will always have unexpected benefits, and on the other hand, she never mentioned any benefits, and she appears to be very upright reliable.Xiao Dewen thought that she was not close to him because of her noble temperament, and she didn't keep him sitting for a long time because she was afraid of attracting attention.

He actually convinced himself.

His eyes were flooded, and he concealed his excitement and said what he felt during this period of time.Although he wanted to be more calm and graceful, he still spoke a lot faster: "Uncle, is your majesty really..." He swallowed nervously, and said in a trembling voice: "Really, do you want to stand up for me? "

Wei Xiu said unhurriedly: "What if you want to stand up for you, but what if you don't want to stand up for you?"

She spoke lightly and indifferently, like a basin of cold water pouring down from the top of Xiao Dewen's head. Even though he was very displeased, but Wei Xiu's words, he habitually had to think about it, and after thinking about it, his anger disappeared , Turning into panic, he knelt down and sat down at the table opposite Wei Xiu, and said in confusion: "Uncle, you mean, His Majesty is testing me?"

"True gold is not afraid of fire. If you do your duty well, whether your majesty tries it or not, you can do it right. But if you deviate from your duty and make your majesty dissatisfied, even if you are already in the East Palace, you can still do it." Dethrone." Wei Xiu said slowly, then turned to look at Xiao Dewen, "Do you understand?"

She held a sword in her hand, and Xiao Dewen came, she was playing with the sword.The name of this sword is Yuchang, "If you are against the law, you cannot obey it. A minister can kill the king, and a son can kill the father." According to legend, this sword is the assassin's sword used to kill the king and father.

Xiao Dewen had been awakened by Wei Xiu, and he was frightened thinking that there might be an overstepping move in the near future. At this time, he slowly lowered his head, and saw the fish intestine sword. Looking at the cold light, the light shone into his eyes, and he was instantly terrified.

"Nephew understands." He said hastily, with a look of fear on his face.

Wei Xiu put the sword into its sheath, put it on a table aside, looked at Xiao Dewen's face, and said with a smile: "You have to guess what His Majesty is thinking, and if you guess right, don't show it. Whatever he wants, you should do your best to do it well." .It's okay to be a little dull, but don't pretend to be smart."

Xiao Dewen just said yes.

"There are also kings, you must be respectful, even if you are lucky enough to live in the East Palace, you should not be extravagant, bear with it, there will always be a time for you to call the shots."

Xiao Dewen cheered up again, engraved every word of her words into his heart, and reflected on himself, when he met Jin Wangshu yesterday, he was indeed negligent, he should be more respectful, bear with him for a while, when he gains power, he is afraid that he will not be able to get him back!

Seeing him thinking about it, Wei Xiu smiled, picked up the Yuchang sword, and went into the inner room.

Xiao Dewen knew that this was seeing off guests, although he wanted to ask a few more questions, but he didn't dare to force him, so he bowed respectfully to the door curtain of the inner room and retreated.

Seeing him leaving, Ah Rong went into the inner room and said: "The prince has left."

Wei Xiu agreed, indicating that she knew.

A Rong shifted her eyes to the sword, which Wei Xiu got by accident three or four years ago, I don't know how she took it out today.

Wei Xiu put the sword into her sleeve, the size is just right, it won't be noticed by others, and it won't hinder her movement.Looking up and seeing that she hadn't left, he asked, "What else is there?"

Ah Rong replied: "The land that Mr. asked for is vacant."

"Oh..." Wei Xiu was stunned, "Let's buy it."

"Yes." A Rong took the order.But she was still puzzled, hesitated for a moment, and asked in confusion: "What do you want that piece of land for, sir? The fields there are enough for the clan to cultivate."

All the near branches of the Zhong family are dead, but the ones farther away are still there.Wei Xiu specially bought a place.The bones of her relatives could not be found, so she erected a tomb, and selected a few children from the closest bloodlines to join the direct line, so as to continue the sacrifice of the ancestors.

But that place has already been settled, and there are enough rural houses. I don't know what she wants to do with the land.

Wei Xiu chuckled, and said gently to her: "That piece of land is fertile soil, I wanted it back then, but unfortunately they refused to sell it, and we are not good at taking it away. Finally he is willing to sell it, don't ask, hurry up I went to buy it, it’s too late, I’m afraid it’s gone again.”

He only urged her to go without explaining.Ah Rong had no choice but to make arrangements.

The author has something to say: Yuchang Sword is Zhuan Zhu's stabbing king Liao.

Wei Xiu will use it to stab someone in the future.
