Ding Tian's Ancient Life

The four defenders are Meng Dali, Li Zhanyuan, Chen Debiao, and Jiang Dashan.

Meng Dali lived up to his name. He was a strong man. It was said that he was so powerful that he could split tigers and leopards.

Li Zhanyuan is a Confucian general. Although he is a military general, he is slender and gentle.

As for Chen Debiao, it is said that he is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs. With a long spear, it is difficult for seven or eight people to get close.

Jiang Dashan is a warrior who looks like an old hat, with a straightforward personality and a very rough appearance. He has a beard on his face, and he is even more burly than Meng Dali.

And the four guards also carefully recognized Ding Tian.

This is someone who has been ordered by the superior to take good care of him.

I don't know what kind of talented person this is. Anyway, he has a lot of reputation in Beijing, especially with His Royal Highness King Ning... I thought he was a rabbit, but it doesn't look like it. In addition, many people from the military followed them. To say hello, be sure to treat him well, just like respecting your ancestors.

If he was just a little boy, it would be impossible for him to be valued by so many military leaders.

And His Royal Highness Ning Wang, I have never heard that he likes men in the past... Everyone guessed that the rumors that these two people are together may be released by someone. Besides, this Ding Tian does not look like a man. What a villain.

I have to say that Wang Zuo did a very good job of preparation, and many people felt that it was "unavoidable" for the two of them to be together.

Some people wondered if they were injured during the war in the three Northeast prefectures, right?

There are no secrets in the capital city. Four to five million people gather here. There are countless alleys and large courtyards. If there is something wrong with someone's house, everyone in the neighbors should see clearly and see the excitement. There is no entertainment in this place. In the 500s, everyone was very concerned about all the gossip and rumors.

In addition, the two of them are really unlucky, and it is understandable to be disappointed with women...

Ding Tian got to know people, and they also got to know Ding Tian.

After seeing the place, Wang Zuo took him to the Qianqing Palace: "You are the Drum Tower in the northwest corner, far away from the Qianqing Palace, you have to go through the entire harem..."

"Can I walk around in the harem?" Even though Ding Tian is an idiot of history, he also knows that this "harem" is a forbidden place for men.

"What do you think? This harem, except for the emperor, only the princes can play in it when they are young. When they grow up, every time they go to greet their mother, they must say hello in advance, so as not to talk to their father's entertainers. It’s not beautiful to meet concubines. All adult princes, every time they go to see their mothers and concubines in the palace, the eunuchs must clear the place in advance to avoid collision with others.” Wang Zuo said:

"The palace road I'm taking you to walk is specially for foreign ministers, such as imperial physicians, imperial physicians, prison guards like you, and royal family members who go in and out of the palace, they walk all the way...〇

"I understand." Ding Tian suddenly realized: "It's a dedicated passage for the courtiers."

This palace road is not too wide, you can ride a horse through it...but who dares to ride a horse and gallop in the harem?

The sedan chair can also pass, but the big sedan chair is not allowed, it can only be a small sedan chair carried by four people.

Except for the palace walls on both sides and some low lampstands, there is nothing else.

Silent, silent, not a single door was opened on the palace walls on both sides.

Tall trees are not planted in the palace, because it is easy for people to hide in the trees. They are all low trees, such as plum trees and cloves, and willows are also low species.

When the tree grows to a certain extent, the crown will be cut off, so that the tree will grow horizontally instead of growing tall.

Wang Zuo introduced him all the way, and they walked all the way. Sure enough, they didn't meet anyone, even the eunuchs they met stood facing the wall. A little tiara on the head, or one or two palace flowers made of silk.

It was only later that Ding Tian learned that court ladies were only allowed to wear earrings and earrings, but not earrings.

There can only be palace flowers made of silk cloth on the head, no more than three, and the color should not be bright red or bright red.

There are even regulations on the color of the clothes you wear, toad green in spring and summer, and earthy brown in autumn and winter.

These two colors are resistant to dirt, and the fabrics are also wear-resistant. The main reason is that when they are young, they can still hold back when they wear clothes of this color, but when they are old, wearing clothes of this color is simply... ...I didn't see it!

- Lu walked to Qianqing Palace and successfully entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Wang Zuo also told Bai Ze: "Look here, this is the imperial palace. You can see it more clearly in the daytime. Last time you came, you went to the Golden Ridge Hall. There It’s the place where the court goes up, the last time I came here was at night, there’s nothing to see, but now I can see it most clearly.”

"Well, it's clear." Ding Tian looked around, sure enough, dignified and generous.

Emperor Yongqing was already waiting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he was immediately overjoyed: "Is it all good?"

"Look at it." Wang Zuo nodded, "It's just a matter of time to come to your place to have a meal of the royal meal."

"I've known you for a long time, kid, and I'm thinking about the new good things here!" Emperor Yongqing was wearing a regular suit, although it was also sewn with gold and silver threads, it wasn't that kind of dragon robe, and it wasn't that impressive. awe.

Ordinary looks like Yuanwailang from a rich and responsible family, with a slightly fat body, but he is a bit friendly.

Ding Tian was much less nervous.

"Tian'er hasn't eaten an authentic imperial banquet yet." Wang Zuo opened his mouth and wanted to eat it: "Hurry up to two plates of the imperial banquet golden cake and anchovy shark's fin. Have a plate too."

Emperor Yongqing asked him deliberately with a straight face: "How do you know that there are mushrooms here to pay tribute?"

''When I went out that day and saw the tribute car entering the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I knew it, and I also knew that tens of thousands of beef cattle were sent from the north...

...Beef in Beijing is almost ten cents cheaper, and the common people can afford beef. "Wang Zuo said: "Those barbarians in the north are afraid to criticize now. Many tribes are moving to the north, and some are going to the west. "

"Okay, in order to reward you two, I will hold a royal banquet today." Emperor Yongqing was happy, but Wang Zuo's compliment was dry, but it scratched his itching spot.

Whether it is the north or the south, this hot weapon is indeed very useful. This year is not yet the Chinese New Year, and the list of vassal states sent by the Ministry of Rites has several more. In the past, North Korea and Ryukyu were two-sided things. Baba has come to court, and there is also the distant Lion Kingdom. Since the previous dynasty, tribute has been paid every three years. After the court celebration, you can also do long-distance trade, but in recent years, you have only visited a few times when the country was founded. , and then stopped coming. The reason is that the sea is too stormy and there are too many pirates to get through.

Well now, the pirates have been wiped out by the navy. In order to test hot weapons, the navy is actively preparing for war. If there is no naval battle, they will fight pirates to ensure the smooth flow of routes. Naturally, some of the captured spoils will be dedicated to the emperor...

Thinking of this huge amount of income going directly to the private treasury instead of the state treasury, Emperor Yongqing was happy, who would dislike having too much money.

The bird's nest, shark's fin, sea cucumber and other things brought from the seaside, Emperor Yongqing asked Ding Tian to stew the bird's nest: "Try it too, this bird's nest is the most delicious stewed by the imperial chef."

It was said to be a royal banquet, but in fact it was just the three of them. Ding Tian felt much more comfortable eating this time, with fewer people and all of them were acquaintances.

"Okay, that shark's fin is also delicious." It was the first time Ding Tian ate a royal banquet seriously, and it was much better than the last time he didn't eat enough, because the shark's fin soup was served in the same size as a normal two-large bowl. The bowl was served instead of the small soup bowl like the last time. The shark's fin contained in it was gone after two mouthfuls. This time he sucked two bowls.

There are a lot of dishes, and the plate size is large. Ding Tian is very satisfied with his meal this time.

Emperor Yongqing whispered to Wang Zuo, "I just like Tian'er to be honest and not pretentious."

Wang Zuo's face was dark: "You mean, Tian'er eats a lot?"

Ding Tian was very satisfied when he touched his stomach, so he was happy after eating this imperial banquet.

Last time I tasted it, I was not full....

When he left, Wang Zuo was not polite at all, and asked Mi Ying to bring Ding Tian two catties of bird's nest and five catties of sea cucumber. If his family didn't know how to make shark fin, he probably had to ask Ding Tian to take back a few catties. When there is time, there is something to eat.

It's really rude to eat and take.

But the more it was like this, the happier Emperor Yongqing was. This meant not to see him outside, and Emperor Yongqing felt that he shared two or three little secrets with Wang Zuo and Ding Tian, ​​which was quite touching.

Ding Tian was going to work in a new place, and it was the Chinese New Year, and his family was very busy. During the Chinese New Year and holidays, it was a big problem to walk around.

As a result, on the second day after he went back, when he was resting and taking a bath, the three brothers of the Zheng family came over.

"What did you say?" Ding Tian frowned: "Are you going to work in the prison?"

"It's not just him, the three of us all want to beg our junior uncle to become an imperial doctor in the prison." Zheng Xiao said with a serious expression: "We have already mentioned this matter to my father beforehand, and my father also means the same."

"You are the judge of the imperial hospital. One of you is the supervisor of the imperial pharmacy, and the other is a famous imperial physician. What's the matter?" Ding Tian looked at his three teacher nephews: "If there is a good place, don't wait, come to me." Sky Prison?"

"It's too hospitalized now, so it's hard to do, uncle." Zheng Xiao rarely complained to the junior uncle Ding Tian with an old face: "Since the first prince became the king of Shenjun, the second prince adopted him? The third prince His mother, Concubine Shu, got up, but...but this Concubine Shu, who was fine before, is now fighting with Concubine Xian, you don’t know about the competition in the harem, it’s really killing people without blood!"

"Ah?" Ding Tian was taken aback: "This...?''

The third prince, and the fourth prince, have not yet torn their faces, their mother and concubine...is this the beginning of the fight?

"The women in the palace also form cliques. A few days ago, there was a young imperial doctor who made a mistake. If it wasn't for Grandpa Mi Ying's plea, he would have ended up beheaded. Now he is sent to the border to become a military doctor. And last time, Concubine Xian had diarrhea. It seemed that someone had drugged her. Don’t ask for any great achievements, at least don’t be affected…”

Ding Tian nodded: "I can understand this."

The unlucky ones in the palace, apart from eunuchs and palace daughters, are imperial doctors. This profession is too dangerous, and it also involves medicine, acupuncture and other aspects. Have merit, but ask for no faults.

Moreover, this kind of career seems to be beautiful, but in fact, if it is not done well, it will endanger the family.

Ding Tian agreed to the request of the three brothers of the Zheng family: "I will tell the prince tomorrow that everyone will be transferred here. Anyway, in my territory, I have the final say."

The three brothers of the Zheng family are grateful for this.

The excuse for the three brothers to come was to give a New Year's gift, and it was indeed a generous New Year's gift. In fact, it was some pills they made. Ding Tian didn't need it himself, but he could give it to his family.

And Ding Tian's gift in return was also very generous, as well as an annual gift for old imperial doctor Zheng and his elder brother? There are plenty of ginseng, and the bird's nest that Ding Tian gave is as much as eight catties, all of which are good things!

There is also a box of dried sea cucumbers, [-] pieces.

The next day, Ding Tian told Wang Zuo, and Wang Zuo thought for a while: "It's not suitable for Zheng Xiao, a dignified judge from the imperial hospital, to serve as a prison doctor for you. Let him make a confession first, just say Weak, sick? Unable to serve as a court judge, begging for bones, and then re-employing you to your prison, it should be almost the same.”

"But he is a doctor himself, why...is he sick?" Ding Tian was a little confused.

"Doctors don't heal themselves." Wang Zuo came up with an excuse: "I'll transfer that steward to you to manage the last one in the pharmacy... just transfer there."
