[Red Mansions] Guide to "The Empress of the Wise"

After Tu Geng recovered from his illness, he slowly took over the government affairs. Of course, the final disposal of some unimportant matters was still in Wang Shuo's hands.

In a blink of an eye it was Wang Shouzhong Qiqi, Wang Shuo told Tu Geng that he would go to Huang'en Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, and stay there for seven days before returning.

"Do you have to go? There is also a Buddhist hall in the palace." Tu Geng was not happy.

"Go. Not only to pray for my father, but more importantly, to fulfill the vow. You were so sick at the beginning, and your whole body was red with fever. I sat on the side of the bed and watched you twitch. I was so frightened that I couldn't do anything. , I will go to Huang'en Temple every year to fast and pray for seven days, thank you Bodhisattva for blessing." Wang Shuo explained with a smile.

"Thanks a lot."

"It's not hard work. I didn't blame the Buddha for holding Buddha's feet temporarily. Now I have to be more devout. I go every year, add some rewards to Huang'en Temple, and do more good deeds to accumulate blessings for our family," Wang Shuo insisted. .

"Well, I know you are for me." Tu Geng put his hands on Wang Shuo's waist.

Wang Shuo happened to turn around, handed a copybook to Tu Geng, and said, "Look, this is a copybook that Xu'er approved a few days ago. It looks good, so you can see that you have made great progress."

Tu Geng had no choice but to put down his arm, but when Zhezi saw it, he did a good job, and said with a smile: "As expected of our daughter, she is so smart!"

"That's right, she told me that she wanted to go out of the palace to have a look. This time, I'm going to live in Huang'en Temple for seven days, and I just let her follow me. It's a reward to God and Buddha." Wang Shuo suggested, not forgetting Ask his opinion, "What do you think?"

"It's up to Xu'er, as long as she likes it." Tu Geng said nothing.

"That's great, how could she not like it? I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and I'll tell her to make her happy." Wang Shuo smiled enthusiastically, turned around and left the bedroom, heading for Tu Xu's palace. .

Seeing this, Tu Geng had no choice but to leave in embarrassment. He came here today, originally because he was with Wang Shuo Wencun, and everything was prepared, but he didn't expect Wang Shuo to be so puzzled.It has been less than half a year since he recovered from his illness, and Tu Geng has not yet been close to Wang Shuo. At first, Wang Shuo shied away from the imperial doctor's confession to cultivate his body. Later, Tu Geng wondered whether Wang Shuo had not forgiven him. When Wang Shuo dug him out of the palace Only when the two pine trees were brought back did Geng feel relieved.Later, when Wang Shouzhong passed away, the two of them did not share the same room. Today Tu Geng came here just to live a married life. Wang Shuo didn't care about Wang Shouzhong's death at all.

It's a pity that when Wang Shuo saw him coming, he directly said that he was going to the Huang'en Temple to pray for blessings, and even walked away to Tu Xu's side. Tu Geng had no choice but to walk away awkwardly.

Wang Shuo set off with Tu Xu the next day. Huang'en Temple is located in the west of the suburbs of Beijing. There are Xishan cemetery, royal mausoleum, and royal temple here.The cemetery is full of ghosts, the Buddhist temple is full of wooden fish sounds, and the Taoist temple is full of incense and candles, all of which are not human scenes.

Wang Shuo and Tu Xu went away for seven days, leaving Tu Geng alone in the palace, bored to the core.Now he doesn't dare to hold a banquet for fun, the people who accompanied him at the banquet last time were all cleaned up by Wang Shuo, and the crime was ready-made - seducing the emperor, now no one dares to risk their lives to attend the banquet in the palace.

Tu Geng waited and waited, finally survived seven days, and ordered Ye Benli to change all the decorations in the dormitory, and put new flowers and trees in the courtyard, waiting to welcome his wife and daughter back.

As a result, they waited until noon before Wang Shuo sent someone back to say that just as they were about to leave, the golden lotus in the backyard of Huang'en Temple opened. The host said it was a manifestation of Buddhism, so Wang Shuo decided to stay in Huang'en Temple for another seven days.

"Bang!" Tu Geng was so angry that he swept all the decorations on the table to the floor. He was so excited to wait, but after waiting for so long, he finally received such disappointing news. Tu Geng's face was black enough to drip ink.

"Your Majesty forgive me, Your Majesty forgive me!" The little eunuch who came to report hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, and explained tremblingly: "As soon as the empress got the news, she ordered the slaves to rush back to report the letter. They are all slaves who are useless. They are all slaves. Useful!"

"Okay, get out!" Tu Geng waved impatiently, and the little eunuch was happy to save his life, and retreated quickly.

Tu Geng stood up, walked back and forth in the room, came across the decoration he just dropped, and kicked it to the corner of the wall, feeling very annoyed.Ye Benli also seemed to be blind, standing at the door as a pillar, and didn't know to come in to comfort him.

Tu Geng ate his lunch with a stomach full of anger, drank a little wine, and wandered in the imperial garden. He happened to meet a court lady pruning flowers and branches, who looked a lot like Wang Shuo. The Nuan Pavilion was fortunate to have this palace lady.

Waking up in the afternoon, looking at the maid lying next to him, Tu Geng was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, what should I do?Wang Shuo hates inconsistency the most. If she knows, how can it be done? Besides, is there another plan?Also, is he in good health?This is drunkenness and doting on women, don't harm your body, you must know that Wang Shuo has always warned him to take care of himself.

Tu Geng was so anxious that he wanted to order this person to be executed, but it was obvious that she was crying and couldn't bear it.In the first place, it was Tu Geng who lost his morals after drinking, and it wasn't the court lady who deliberately seduced him, so Tu Geng couldn't help himself.

Alas, anyway, Wang Shuo would not be back until seven days later, so Tu Geng only ordered the waiters to keep Ye Benli a secret and let him figure out a way slowly.

Tu Geng recruited the imperial physician at night, and the imperial physician who was treating Tu Geng was not on duty during these days, and Tu Geng wanted to hide Ye Benli's knowledge that he was hired by a young eunuch at will.

As soon as he took the pulse, the imperial physician said that Tu Geng's body was fine, but since His Majesty asked him to take the pulse, the imperial physician also prescribed Taifang, which clears away heat and detoxifies, and gently nourishes the body.

Tu Geng asked curiously: "Is there any serious health problem?" Didn't even say a word about reducing intercourse?

"Of course, His Majesty raised him from the world, so how could he be ill?" the imperial physician replied.

Tu Geng immediately understood that Wang Shuo must have ordered the imperial physician, if he hadn't suddenly changed the imperial physician today, he wouldn't have known about it!Wang Shuo must have not forgiven him yet, and he didn't want to have sex with him, so he came up with such an idea!

Yeah!Tu Geng was so angry that he thought it would be over if he just said something, and he still played with these methods.Fortunately, she had the nerve to accuse herself of treachery and double-decker, and she was such a character herself.If you don't care about it, others will care about it, but you can't help but think about it indignantly.

Coincidentally, didn't the Imperial Garden meet a court lady by chance?Tu Geng immediately spoiled her, but because of the imperial decree that had just been issued, he didn't make it known to the outside world, and only let the palace maid serve her every day.Born as a court lady, her temper is naturally soft and somewhat like Wang Shuo, Tu Geng only felt that Wang Shuo should be like this in front of him, and immediately felt refreshed.The maid also knew Wang Shuo's reputation in the palace, so she seized the time to win over His Majesty, and wanted to ask for a talisman. Lang Youqing concubine was interested, and Tu Geng was happy to favor him every night. She didn't care about Wang Shuo's side at all. What are the consequences of sin.

On the 12th day when Wang Shuo was praying in Huang'en Temple, a young eunuch suddenly came to report in a hurry: "Your Majesty is seriously ill, please return to the palace as soon as possible!"

"What? How is it possible? Your Majesty was fine when I left the palace. You must be the servant who lied about the news." Wang Shuo directly ordered someone to control the little eunuch who reported the news, feeling worried, and took Tu Xu to the imperial city with ease. rush.The guard of honor didn't bring anything, just the guards and came down the mountain.

Wang Shuo's motorcade collided with the team invited by the elders and ministers. There was no master in the palace. The empress dowager devoted herself to the cause of the "Women's Federation" and had already managed the Shoukang Palace into an independent palace. The courtiers already knew the news that Tu Geng was seriously ill.

Wang Shuo lifted the curtain of the car, looked at Wu Yaya, the minister kneeling at the gate of the palace, and ordered: "Get up, everyone below the second rank will go back, and the others will follow me into the palace."

There were quite a few people above the second rank. Wang Shuo divided most of the people to wait for news in the main hall, and only took a dozen or so important officials to the Fuxi hall.

Ye Benli was already in a hurry, and when he saw Wang Shuo coming back, he knelt down in front of Wang Shuo with a plop, crying, "Your Majesty, you are back, you are back!"

"How is your majesty? What's the matter? When I leave, I will entrust your majesty's safety to you. How are you going to do it?" Wang Shuo asked Tu Xu like a cannonball.

Ye Benli looked at the tender-looking Tu Xu and the dozen or so ministers who followed him, but couldn't say that.

Wang Shuo saw him twitching, and said angrily, "What time is it, why are you avoiding it!"

"Out of disease." Ye Benli whispered, even Ye Benli, who had seen a lot of royal desolation/sexuality, was embarrassed to reveal the cause of the disease.

Wang Shuo didn't realize it all at once, but he realized it after seeing Ye Benli's timid and shy expression. This is what is commonly known as "immediate wind".

Wang Shuo turned his head and looked around at the ministers who followed. These people lowered their heads tactfully, as if they hadn't heard anything.

"They are all old ministers, and I don't want to hear any rumors." Wang Shuo said in a deep voice.

"The minister waits to obey the order." The ministers who followed also felt embarrassed, okay?Tu Geng's imperial decree that shocked the world is still hot, and the ministers also sympathized with Wang Shuo for such a slap in the face today.Of course, they are more sympathetic to themselves, to get involved in the royal secrets, this is terrible!

"Xu'er, you will send the adults to the side hall to wait for the news on behalf of your mother." Wang Shuo first dismissed Tu Xu, this kind of thing is not suitable for children to know.

All the ministers were eager to resign, so Ma Liu resigned.

Wang Shuo took a deep breath, and slowly pushed open the door of Fuxi Palace's bedroom.
