The saint is in heaven, and the queen is dead.

There was a commotion in Chang'an city immediately.

Empress Dowager Gao and the new emperor Xie Rongying were devastated.

However, after the mourning, Empress Dowager Gao immediately ordered old doctor Zhang and Dr. Kou to be arrested together.

Mrs. Gao lost her husband, grandson, and son one after another, and her temperament, which was not so gentle, became more and more indifferent.

She said coldly: "Take old doctor Zhang and Dr. Kou down! Tortured and tortured, they must tell why they failed to cure the saint's illness! Why did they kill the saint!"

As soon as Gao's words fell, everyone who was still mourning for Emperor Yonghe Xie Hanying was stunned.

Si Xiang's expression was particularly ugly.

Gao had made such a fuss before, but luckily he was stopped.They have already explained all the truth, and Emperor Yonghe is not a fool, so how could he really let the two doctors see it and stop looking for other people?Even though Emperor Yonghe, the imperial physician in the palace, did not want to use it, but Emperor Yonghe must have seen those skilled folk doctors outside the palace, and after seeing it, he confirmed that the medical skills of old imperial physician Zhang and Dr. The two treated him.Otherwise, who wouldn't want to live longer?Emperor Yonghe was not a stupid person, so how could he really be tricked by Kou and Doctor as Gao said?

What's more, old doctor Zhang and Dr. Kou are both from the Xinglin family. The two have a long history of family education, noble character, and the benevolence of doctors. Such two people have cured many people, and they have done countless good deeds. How can Gao Shi be ruined like this with his own anger?

If this is the case, if Empress Dowager Gao can rely on her own status to destroy these two people, can she also casually destroy the other two people?Whether those two are innocent civilians or officials from poor families?

How could the Daqing Dynasty allow such a queen mother to be rampant?

Xie Xiang is the patriarch of the Xie family's royal family, and he was very angry when he saw this.

Even though the people of the royal family are honorable, the old doctor Zhang and Dr. Kou are not servants of the royal family. How can they let the slander of the Queen Mother Gao be taken to the prison to extract a confession?If the two kings Ding and Jing know about it, I'm afraid that Xie Rongying will be scolded by the spittle stars of the world's literati before he takes the throne.

Xie Yuan's complexion also changed.

Not to mention old doctor Zhang, but Dr. Kou can be regarded as his recommendation to Xie Hanying.Dr. Qi Kou is a military doctor on the border of Zhaodi. He has treated the soldiers of Zhaodi for 30 to [-] years.Even Xie Yuan was grateful to Dr. Kou for taking good care of Xie Qiuran's body, and was able to give up his life to come to the palace to treat Xie Hanying's illness.

Since Xie Yuan is grateful to Dr. Kou for such a doctor, he naturally intends to take him away completely. How can he damage Dr. Kou's reputation and be framed like this?

It's just that although he was annoyed, he didn't get angry immediately, but turned to look at Xie Rongying.

Xie Pang and Si Xiang immediately looked at Xie Rongying.

Empress Dowager Gao's move was indeed muddled and absurd.

However, everyone knew that as long as the new emperor Xie Rongying could make up his mind and not be manipulated by the Empress Dowager Gao, then other things would be much easier to do.

Xie Rongying was stunned for a moment when everyone looked at her like this, and then she stood in front of Empress Dowager Gao, hesitatingly said: "Mother, this is not right..."

He was only halfway through when he was interrupted by Gao Shi.

Mrs. Gao stared straight at Xie Rongying, her voice was extremely cold: "So, Rong Ying, you took your brother's throne, but you didn't intend to thoroughly investigate the real cause of your brother's death, and you didn't intend to avenge your brother. ?"

Xie Rongying was speechless immediately.

Xie Yuan's exceptionally handsome face was also covered with the color of ice and snow.

Xie Xiang was really annoyed at this moment, he stood up immediately, coughed a few times, pointed at Gao and said: "You are the empress dowager now, but you are also Xie's wife! You are also a woman in the harem! The rules of etiquette, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! No! Ignore the law and deal with ordinary people indiscriminately! Even if you are a slave, if you want to deal with it, you must have evidence. Both Dr. Zhang and Dr. Kou are innocent people. As Mrs. Xie, where did you get the evidence and reason? Do you want to dispose of them indiscriminately like this? Believe it or not, if you dispose of them indiscriminately today, then tomorrow," he pointed at the other imperial physicians and folk doctors, "Which of these people will sincerely treat you? In addition to them, there are also gentlemen and gentlemen in this world. Who would think that this world is a world of wise rulers, a world of benevolence and righteousness, and not a world that is stupid and lawless like the previous dynasty? Mrs. Gao, as Xie A housewife wants to disregard the etiquette and rules and try to trap her husband's family into injustice, do you know your mistake?"

Both Xie Rongying and Gao's expressions changed drastically.

Although Prime Minister Xie is usually not angry, he is the real patriarch of the Xie family's royal family, and he is the only person with the highest seniority remaining today.

Even Mrs. Gao has to call Xie Xiang "uncle".

Under such circumstances, Xie Rongying did not dare to reprimand her mother, Gao Shi. Xie Xiang surpassed Xie Rongying and reprimanded Gao Shi, who is Xie's wife, as the head of the family. Xie Xiang is naturally a reasonable person, even if Gao Shi is now confused, I also know that I need to soften up today.

But how could Gao agree?

She has been the queen mother for several years, although Xie Hanying has been restraining her and refuses to give her too much power.However, Xie Hanying has always given the power and respect in face.But now, Xie Hanying, who was able to restrain her, is dead, and Qing Wan, who dared to show her face, is also dead. Gao Shi couldn't help but straighten her back in pain - from now on, no one can press her head up.

Therefore, in this situation, Gao's face turned blue and white, and finally she insisted: "Perhaps old doctor Zhang is fine, but Dr. Kou..." Her gaze fell on Xie Yuan intentionally or unintentionally. , said, "Dr. Kou was recommended by King Zhao. King Zhao was confused, but the recommender didn't know how to recommend a clean man. The ancestors of Doctor Kou were all former imperial physicians! The old imperial doctor Zhang may be innocent, but, Dr. Kou’s life experience is not clear, and he was recommended by King Zhao, this kind of person must be doubted! Even if he is not tortured to extract a confession, he must be locked up and questioned thoroughly before he can be released!”

As soon as Mrs. Gao said this, how could the rest of the people not know that Mrs. Gao was suspicious of King Zhao and used Dr. Kou as a raft in disguise?

Xie Yuan immediately stood up, staring at Gao Shi with a pair of dark eyes.

Although Xie Yuan is young, he is a young general who has actually been on the battlefield and killed countless people.

When he looked at it like this, there was a chill in his eyes, even Gao Shi was shocked.

She was about to speak, when Xie Yuan turned his gaze to Xie Rongying.

"What did the sage say?" Xie Yuan lowered the chill in his eyes, and looked at Xie Rongying coldly, "Or, the sage, like the queen mother, is suspicious of ministers, and wants to use the same excuse to work hard for the sage Doctor Kou who treats the sick, come to humiliate the minister?"

Xie Rongying originally just stood aside and said nothing, but after hearing what Xie Yuan said, she raised her head to look at Xie Yuan.

The two stood opposite each other.

However, even if he was asking, Xie Yuan's aura was not weak at all.

Xie Rongying looked at Xie Yuan, and suddenly thought, brother wants him and Xie Yuan to reconcile, but how to reconcile?A Niang is the Empress Dowager, who is the biological mother of him and my brother. Such a Niang just said something that is not serious or serious. Xie Yuan wanted to ask him for an explanation with confidence.

Such a Xie Yuan, how could he not be suspicious?How can I treat him as before?

This is simply impossible.

But Xie Rongying softened his tone, and said to Xie Yuan: "Brother Yuan, after all, Dr. Kou's ancestors all worked in the Imperial Hospital of the former royal family, so it seems suspicious. If that's the case, it doesn't hurt to have someone check him out." Of course, don’t worry, Brother Yuan, I won’t make people torture Dr. Kou to extract a confession, it’s just an ordinary interrogation.”

Xie Yuan's face was ashen, and he said: "It seems to be suspected? Could it be that the sage just because of the four words of "suspiciousness" just because of this, he took an innocent person for interrogation without evidence? Dare I ask the sage, where are the laws of the country? Where is it? A sage is like this, how to..." Convince the crowd?

After all, Xie Yuan didn't say the last two words, just stared at Xie Rongying without saying a word.

Xie Pengping and Sixiang were also stupid, they didn't expect that Gao Shi was confused, and Xie Rongying was so confused.

Who is King Zhao?Although he is King Jing's own son, he is a born general, and he is also loyal to the late emperor. The late emperor also trusted him very much. Even before he died, he held the hand of the new emperor to make the new emperor believe in the king.After all, only when the sage trusts the courtier can the courtier be more willing to be loyal to the sage.

However, how long has the late emperor been gone?How long did it take to say that?This new emperor has already begun to suspect King Zhao, and wants to suppress King Zhao with the help of the Empress Dowager Gao?

You know, even though Xie and the others often say that they must guard against King Zhao, they are deeply aware of King Zhao's loyalty and the importance of King Zhao. Looking across, there are still many soldiers in the vassal, all of whom were ordered by King Zhao to train soldiers when the late emperor was there, so that when King Ding and King Jing rebelled, King Zhao could quickly lead troops to rescue them.

Such King Zhao already had a relationship with the new emperor since he was a child, and he was a loyal minister. As long as the new emperor is not stupid, he should live well with this King Zhao—loyal ministers and good generals have been hard to find since ancient times. It is rare that King Zhao is both a good general and a loyal minister, and he is also a rare talent who can be used when the new emperor is facing the two mountains of King Jing and King Ding. How stupid is the new emperor to forcefully refuse to make friends with King Zhao? Well, instead, you want to fight against King Zhao?

Therefore, when Meng Xiang saw that Xie Rongying was about to frown, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Saint, according to the law, if you want to detain ordinary people, you must have plaintiffs and witnesses. Dr. Kou has never violated any law, nor has he There is a person rescued by Doctor Kou who falsely accused Doctor Kou, and the court... has no reason to detain him for interrogation at will." He glanced at Mrs. Gao, and said in a low voice, "Even the queen mother can dispose of slaves arbitrarily, but not arbitrarily. Common people and scholars."

Xie Rongying woke up suddenly.He finally realized that it was really wrong for A Niang to do this.

Although what Meng Xiang said is not true, if he is a high-ranking official, he can naturally deal with ordinary people at will, but if there is someone behind the ordinary people who is willing to back him up, according to the law and ethics of the court... then, no matter how noble No one has the right to do violence to the common people outside the law.

The faces of Xie Rongying and Gao Shi became ugly in an instant.

Xie Rongying looked at Xie Yuan, as if she didn't understand why his brother Yuan couldn't bear it?As long as his brother Yuan is willing to bear it for a while, then why would he and his A Niang lose face in front of everyone?

Xie Yuan also saw Xie Rongying's eyes, and understood the meaning in Xie Rongying's eyes.

Xie Yuan was extremely disappointed.

He suddenly thought in his heart, no wonder his elder brother would die with regret. With such a successor, he would also die with regret.

However, Xie Yuan didn't say anything after all, but just stared at Xie Rongying with a complicated expression, suppressing the ambition that was about to move again in his heart.

He knew that after being suspected by the emperor, his future road would be more and more difficult.But... Xie Yuan thought about Yin Shou's thoughts all the time, paused, and felt that if Xie Rongying really suspected him, then, after the world was settled, he and A Shou would just leave.

At that time, with Xie Hanying's dying instructions and the slight friendship between the two of them when they were young, Xie Rongying will definitely not embarrass him.

Xie Yuan thought so, glanced at Dr. Kou, and asked: "Then, can Dr. Kou be invited back to the minister's residence now? The funeral of the late emperor should begin."

Xie Rongying paused, after all, he didn't want to argue with Xie Yuan at this time, so after thinking for a moment, he nodded and agreed.

Xie Yuan also felt relieved, and everyone finally stopped being tense.

Gao Shiduan sat on the seat and looked at all this, but he couldn't hide the hatred in his eyes.

However, no matter what, the funerals of Yonghe Emperor Xie Hanying and Queen Qin's were still proceeding in an orderly manner.

They are dead, but there are still people alive.

Although Xie Rongying was a little flustered, with the help of Si Xiang and Xie Yuan, she also started to get started with political affairs.

After a long time, Xie Rongying suddenly felt that his brother Yuan was actually still that brother Yuan.Maybe he could trust Xie Yuan more.

Half a month later, the late emperor Xie Hanying entered the imperial mausoleum together with the empress Qin.

Sad all the way.

Empress Dowager Gao could not have come, but she was too sad, and after being dissuaded several times, she still came.

On this day, it was raining lightly.

Everyone lowered their heads, either sad or worried or calculating.

Xie Yuan thought of all the things in the past, and Xie Hanying's dying care for her orphans and her reluctance to die, and she also had a feeling of hatred and intolerance in her heart.

He was bowing his head in mourning when he heard a fast horse galloping towards him.

"Report! King Jing is preparing troops for war in the north, and he is suspected of rebelling! The marshal asked the sage to decide whether to start a war against King Jing!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Xie Yuan's face turned pale in an instant, and he looked at Prince Jing's son Xie Qiuran, who was less than ten years old, who was a few steps away from him—his brother.

Sure enough, Xie Rongying gave orders with a livid face, then turned to look at Xie Qiuran, paused, and then went to explain the matter to Gao.

Gao was really furious.

After all, she is a woman raised in the back house, so the first thing that comes to mind when she hears this is.

"King Wang An dares to do this? His two sons are still in Chang'an City! If he really dares to send troops, he will hang his son's head on the city wall!"

Mrs. Gao said these words in the bullock cart, with Xie Rongying's persuasive voice mixed in.

"Even if he has been adopted, what about that Xie Qiuran? Capture him, torture him, and take him to threaten King Jing!"

Xie Rongying seemed to persuade a few more words in the bullock cart, and when she got out of the bullock cart, her brows were still furrowed, when she raised her eyes, she saw Xie Yuan who was looking at him expressionlessly.

And Xie Yuan's hand was holding that Prince Jing's son Xie Qiuran.
