doctor knife in hand

After the Lantern Festival, the year is over.

At the gate of the palace, the carriages with their own family nameplates have already been waiting early, and they are waiting for the morning break to pick up the adults back to the mansion.

But today's first court seems to be a bit long, it's already noon and no one has come out yet.The elders in the family are a little anxious, but the grand court meeting has to start before dawn, even if the court food is used, it can't stand it for such a long time.

Finally, in anticipation, the gate of the palace opened, and the adults in black or purple court clothes filed out. After saying goodbye to each other, they got into the carriage one after another, and hurried back to have lunch.

The hurried crowd came and walked quickly, and finally there was only one carriage waiting at the door, and the servant looked inside anxiously.Suddenly he found a slowly approaching figure, put his palms together thankfully, and ran over quickly.

"Ah, young master, you finally came out. The little one thought something happened, and the other adults left long ago."

The young man in the sixth-grade court dress raised his head, but with a crying expression, he shouted: "Why didn't something happen, something big happened!"

"Ah? Have you offended some lord again?" The young servant was taken aback. He quickly looked around and saw that there was no one around. He helped his young master into the carriage and delivered water and food. , while nagging, "You said that you are only a low-rank official, why do you always impeach those adults, and you only pick high-ranking officials above the second rank, isn't this old birthday star hanged himself!"

However, the young master of his family held the food in his hand and didn't move a mouthful, so he saw that he was a little anxious, and quickly comforted him: "It's okay, the master said, the big deal is that this official is wrong, and it's the same if you go back and teach with him."

"Whoever said that I am not an official, let me tell you, young master, I have been promoted."

"Isn't that a good thing, why are you so depressed, I almost went back and reported to the master." The boy was puzzled.

The young official sighed, "It's better to be dismissed, I can't do this job."

"What's the matter? Tell the little one about it."

"What do you know?" the young official muttered.

"Hehe, why don't you go home first?"

"No, don't go home, go to the British government, now only this uncle can save me."

Coincidentally, the British public has not had lunch yet, and it has just been served on the table.

"I didn't feel hungry before, but now I look like a stomach. The timing is just right, come on, give me some tableware."

Yang and his party, the young official before gave orders to the little maid serving beside him.

The little maid covered her mouth and smiled, "Master Yang, wait a moment, I have already ordered someone to get it."

"good."

When the dishes and chopsticks were served, the little maids collectively bowed and went out.

"You're really welcome." Song Heng gave him a cool look.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, what's the matter with you." Yang and his party picked up the chopsticks and picked up their favorite dishes without hesitation, and added another chopstick to Song Heng's bowl, "Don't you You're welcome."

The host and guest were immediately unclear.

Song Heng didn't bother with him either, he got used to it after a lot of times.

"Why did you come here in a hurry just after the court was over?"

Having said this, Yang and his party hurriedly ate two mouthfuls, then put down their chopsticks and bowls, their mouths shrunk, and they shouted without tears: "Uncle Guo, help me!"

The tune makes three twists and turns, and the end is sad and euphemistic.

Song Heng only gave him a look, "Speak."

"The emperor ordered the imperial envoys to go south to the south of the Yangtze River to inspect the people's sentiments under the pretense of inspecting the people's sentiments, but to investigate the rampant water bandits in Yangjiang." Taking a deep breath, Yang and his party looked at Song Heng.

"Who is the imperial envoy?"

Yang and his party stretched out their fingers and pointed at themselves, still looking at Song Heng with piercing eyes.

Song Heng took a sip of the soup, and then said: "Very good, the imperial envoy is on the fourth rank, and you have been promoted."

"Whoever wants to be the one should go, that's the water bandit!" Yang and his party said excitedly, "Do the bandits understand? I can't carry it on my shoulders, I can't lift it in my hand, and I can hold a pen at most. What can I do? Give me Shang Fang's sword I can't hold it."

Song Heng looked at him inexplicably, "You are an imperial envoy, and you don't need to suppress the bandits. Yangjiang bandits are in Jiangzhou, and Jiangzhou General leads the army. You just need to cooperate with him."

Speaking of this, Yang and his party twitched the corners of their mouths, and said, "It's because of this Jiangzhou general, my uncle Guo, the original one has been dismissed, do you know who the new one is?"

"Who?" Song Heng asked politely.

"Wang Peng!" Yang and his party looked up to the sky and screamed, "My God, I don't know what the emperor thinks, he chose such a guy! When I heard this decree, there was only one thought in my mind. Bandits, are you going to deliver the head?"

Song Heng was a little surprised, but he still reminded: "Speak carefully."

Yang Xingxing said: "I don't worry about you here. The hall dare not say it. You have to spit it out here, right? To be honest, it's not as good as the original one."

Song Heng tapped the table lightly with his finger, as if he was thinking.

Yang and his party simply lay down on the table, and said listlessly: "I am just a small sixth-rank censor. As long as I can stand in a class at the Grand Court, or the last one, the emperor may not see me. I am impeached on weekdays. An official, it’s okay to fight with each other, but why did he become an imperial envoy, there are many ministers and ministers in the court, so why should it not be my turn?"

Song Heng raised his chopsticks, took a piece of hibiscus for him, and comforted him: "Everyone knows that Mr. Yang is upright, he is not afraid of power, he dares to impeach people who others dare not, dares to say things that others dare not, and his words are sharp, and he speaks well. Being upright, it can be seen that the emperor sees it, so he thinks you are suitable."

Yang and his party were stunned, "Why didn't I know I had such a reputation?"

Song Heng said: "Master Yang's personal practice has spread throughout the capital."

"No, no?"

Song Heng said with certainty: "If you talk about treating evil as hatred, it must be Mr. Yang."

"No... no, I'm the censor, what else can I do with it? Those adults didn't bother with me, I thought it out very well. Those high officials of the second rank and above, how could they not use it? Those who are impeached will not be burdened by more debts, and it doesn’t matter if I have one more, so I dare.”

Song Heng was a little speechless after hearing this, but he was a little funny. He reminded: "In the grand court meeting on the eve of the Spring Festival, I heard that Lord Yang made the cabinet minister, Lord Qi, very angry. He didn't even pass the Spring Festival, so he just sued the old man."

Speaking of this, Yang and his party hurriedly defended, "It's not my fault. He is in poor health. I only said a few words, and he collapsed. I didn't use my strength at all."

"Then it seems like the right time to accomplish Lord Yang, so be careful on the road and bring more guards." Song Heng smiled and comforted.

Yang and his party couldn't believe that Song Heng was such a person, but he still asked cautiously, "Do you think it's too late for me to ask the emperor to change people right away?"

"The imperial decree has been issued, and the golden words have been spoken, how to change it?"

"Then change Jiangzhou General, how about inviting Uncle Guo?"

"I'm recuperating from my injuries, and that's also the uncle of the country."

Yang Xingxing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Bah, what kind of uncle is he, but he is the younger brother of a treacherous concubine, and he climbed up by nepotism, who doesn't know?"

"Master Yang is really brave, even the emperor scolded him."

"Song Heng, help me!"

"Hehe, eat more, you can go on the road tomorrow." Song Heng gave another chopstick cruelly.

After Yang and his party, who were full of wine and food, were sent out of the gate of the mansion, the guards came in and said: "My lord, there are people from the palace, please come into the palace to face the saint."

"Aheng, did Yang and his party go to your place to complain?" Emperor Wen of Chu asked Song Heng flattened his body.

Song Heng replied: "What the emperor said is that he has this temperament, and he is afraid that he will bear the grace of God."

"Hmph, I'm afraid I have nothing good to say to me."

Song Heng smiled, but did not reply.

"Is your injury healed?" Emperor Wen of Chu asked.

"At any time to be sent by the emperor."

Emperor Wen of Chu nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a serious expression: "Yangjiang has suppressed bandits every year, every year, and it has become more and more rampant recently. Not only merchant ships have been robbed, but even official grain ships have been robbed. It was due to collusion. I ordered Yang Yixing to go to the south of the Yangtze River as an imperial envoy, and Wang Peng to be the general of Jiangzhou. Do you know why?"

After Song Heng knew who the Jiangzhou General was, he knew who it was, and when he was ordered to enter the palace, he was even more sure, so he lifted his clothes and knelt down on one knee and said: "I dare to guess that Lord Yang and Lord Wang are here to confuse the thieves. The emperor ordered his ministers to accompany him in secret in order to find out the colluding officials and eradicate the banditry."

Emperor Wen of Chu smiled when he heard the words, and nodded, "It's still Ah Heng who understands me, yes, I ordered you to be a special envoy, sneak into Jiangzhou secretly, and find out these moths for me and escort them to Beijing. Then give me a soldier talisman, and I can send them to nearby All the troops will completely wipe out the water bandits, do you understand?"

Eunuch Ying, who was next to him, walked up to him holding the imperial decree and military amulet.

"Yes, the minister obeys the order!"

Song Heng raised his hands above his head and took it steadily.

"Five days later it will be the queen's memorial day, let's go after worshiping with me."

Song Heng raised his head, looked at Emperor Wen of Chu, and said, "Yes."

"Oh, I'm getting old, and I've been dreaming about Ayuan lately, and I don't know if she'd like to wait until I go to see him." Emperor Wen of Chu said softly, looking at the gate of the palace, as if reminiscing.

"My sister told me before she left that she was willing."

Song Heng's voice brought a smile to Emperor Chu Wen's face, and he nodded, "Yeah, A Yuan is the softest, she is reluctant to part with me. You should take some time to meet the prince, he always said why doesn't uncle come to see him , even the medicine is not good to eat.”

Song Heng said with a smile: "The minister was not in good health before, and it was not easy to see the prince."

Emperor Wen of Chu sighed: "Yes, he is weak, and he doesn't know when he will improve, otherwise..."

The following words made Song Heng's heart sink. He settled down and said: "I will visit the prince before I leave, and tell him to rest well. Besides, there are many doctors in the south of the Yangtze River. Maybe someone can cure the prince's illness. I will Pay more attention."

"Excellent, you step back."

"Yes."

On the second day, despite repeated reluctance, Yang and his party led the imperial envoy out of the city gate.

After Song Heng bid farewell to him, he invited the prince to see him, and in the next five days, after the queen's death day, he also left the capital.
