These prescriptions and spare medicines were quickly delivered to the house, and Doctor Fei quickly browsed them, shook his head and said, "Official, at most, thirty percent of these prescriptions are prescribed in strict accordance with the original prescription of Imperial Doctor Yang Xianmao, and most of the others have been modified to some extent. After the change, the effectiveness of the original recipe was greatly reduced. ”

Song Shenzong was even more angry, and immediately ordered the internal guards to send all the imperial doctors who had changed Yang Xianmao's prescription without authorization to Dali Temple to be imprisoned for punishment.

After the royal doctor was brought in, as soon as he saw the prescription and dispensing on the table, he immediately understood what was going on. Without waiting for Song Shenzong to speak, he knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed like pounding garlic and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen deserves to die for his crimes, please forgive the emperor, Weichen is guilty, please spare your life." ”

Song Shenzong asked word by word: "Why did you change Imperial Physician Yang Xianmao's prescription? ”

Wang Yuanju cried and said: "The old minister is really confused, it is the old minister who is fascinated for a while, and feels that Yang Xianmao's recipe and compatibility are somewhat problematic. So it was changed according to the old minister's thinking, which contributed to the big mistake. ”

Divine Doctor Song was furious and shouted, "When you first started to heal the Seventh and Eighth Princes, you should have known that your modified recipe was of no use at all. But in order to maintain your statement, you deliberately insisted on changing the recipe and treating Niangniang and the other princes, how poisonous is the wolf's ambition!

The royal court sentence was so frightened that he didn't even have the strength to shout for help. And the guards would not give him a chance to beg for mercy, and dragged him away.

Song Shenzong said to Doctor Fei: "You hurry up and summon Yang Xianmao into the palace, and let him and you be responsible for the treatment of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and there must be no more mistakes." ”

……………………

Yang Xianmao was very busy during this time.

There was a plague in the palace, and Yang Xianmao was not drafted into the palace to heal. As the founder of the prescription for the plague, he was not able to participate in the healing work of the inner courtyard of the palace. The main reason is that there are too many people who come to Yang Xianmao's medical hall to seek medical treatment, and everyone firmly believes that he is the best person to treat the plague, so patients are sent day and night.

After the sudden appearance of a large number of voles in the inner courtyard of the palace and the subsequent large-scale epidemic of plague, Song Shenzong thought that he was likely to anger the heavenly court, and he must accumulate virtue and do good deeds in order to seek forgiveness from God. Therefore, after he learned that Yang Xianmao was treating the people in the city, he did not recruit him into the palace to treat his relatives and the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace. Unexpectedly, his move made many of his imperial relatives innocently die, and became the selfish sacrifice of the imperial doctors.

Now he can't care about anything else, and it is important to save the lives of his relatives first. So he could only grit his teeth and summon Yang Xianmao to enter the palace immediately and participate in the treatment of the inner courtyard of the palace.

Yang Xianmao arrived at the inner courtyard of the palace, and there was no disinfection procedure at this time. Because now the palace has become a plague world, even more terrible than the outside. Strictly speaking, it is the people inside who need to be disinfected when they go outside.

However, Yang Xianmao was directly invited to the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Gao, not the dormitory of Emperor Song Shenzong, which made Yang Xianmao feel very surprised.

Walking into the Empress Dowager Gao's bedroom, Yang Xianmao did not feel very luxurious.

Empress Dowager Gao sat on top of the splendid soft collapse, and her cloud-like sideburns were already mixed with a little gray hair. The golden step on his head swayed gently, showing the dignity of the master. A little peach flower in the center of the eyebrows, showing a unique fairy appearance. It's just a faint anger between the eyebrows, which makes people suddenly cold.

Yang Xianmao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute: "Weichen Yang Xianmao, meet the Queen Mother." I wish my mother a long and healthy life. ”

Empress Dowager Gao nodded slowly and said, "There is an important matter to discuss with you when I called you here, whether to agree or not, you can decide for yourself, and this palace will not force it." ”

Yang Xianmao hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The Queen Mother Yizhi, Weichen must do his best to do a good job." ”

Empress Dowager Gao said: "Zhao Xu is the eldest son of the official family, because most of the children in front of him have died. This time he survived the plague with your prescription, and he must be a blessed man. ”

Yang Xianmao hurriedly said: "The official family, the Queen Mother, all the mothers and the little princes are all blessed with great fortune. ”

Empress Dowager Gao shook her head and said, "It's not all, there is one person, I don't think she should be blessed." This time she has also contracted the plague and is waiting for you to heal her. But I want you to adjust your prescription when you go to treat her, so that she can leave this world. If she's gone, the world will be a little more peaceful. This matter will not be disadvantaged to you by this palace. ”

Yang Xianmao's heart couldn't help but froze, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know who this person the Queen Mother is talking about?"

Empress Dowager Gao slowly spit out three words: "Concubine De." ”

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but gasp, his head spun rapidly, and he immediately understood what was happening. It seems that the emperor's illness can't drag on for long, and he is like a mirror in the heart of the Empress Dowager Gao. The most likely to inherit the throne is the eldest son Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu's biological mother Zhu Defei is an obstacle for the Empress Dowager Gao to listen to the government. Because it stands to reason that when the son becomes the emperor, the first consideration of the son should be his mother, not his grandmother.

Of course, according to the current inner courtyard of the palace and the past practice, the Empress Dowager Gao has always been strong, she wants to be in charge of the government, and no one will say a word. Even Concubine Zhu De can't compete with it, but this is only the surface, and there will still be ministers talking about it in private. After all, the grandmother crossed the mother to assist the grandson, and there was still a layer in between, which was morally unjustifiable.

If you think about it from another angle, Zhao Xu inherited the throne, his mother Concubine Zhu Defei was as strong as his grandmother Empress Dowager Gao, and the two of them had the same ability to govern the world. In this case, it must be Zhu Defei in the first place, she should be the first choice to assist her son, not her elderly grandmother.

The Empress Dowager Gao didn't know whether it was out of the pursuit of power, or dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law, or her concern for her beloved grandson, so that she wanted to eliminate all the obstacles that might affect her ability to help her grandchild's growth, even her grandson's mother.

Zhao Xu's mother, Concubine Zhu De, was just a palace maid before, but she was favored by the emperor and gave birth to the little prince Zhao Xu, so she had to become a concubine. But in the eyes of Empress Dowager Gao, this humble little palace maid is not worth mentioning at all, so from the beginning, Empress Dowager Gao did not like Concubine Zhu De very much. always finds all kinds of reasons to make her ugly and suppress her power and authority. Under this huge pressure, Concubine Zhu Defei has always been cautious and does not dare to make the slightest mistake. But in this way, it was inevitable that her mother-in-law would severely reprimand and make things difficult, and now she wanted to put her to death, which made Yang Xianmao feel a chill.

Of course, Yang Xianmao would not refuse directly, he pretended to be silent, just wanted to hear what the Empress Dowager Gao had to say later.

Empress Dowager Gao picked up a copy of the recital from the soft couch coffee table and said to Yang Xianmao: "This is a recital by Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi jointly sponsoring you as the general judge of Kaifeng Mansion, they said that you are up to the task, but you still lack experience, so you have to start with a slightly lower official." Although the position of the general judge is small, the position is very important, and he can even influence some important decisions in Kaifeng Mansion. This is a fat gap, and many people want to get this position even if they spend a lot of money. And Hongu can decide who will do the position. ”

Yang Xianmao understood that this Empress Dowager Gao wanted to use the position of Kaifeng Mansion General Judge in exchange for not treating Concubine De, who was suffering from the plague.

Empress Dowager Gao continued: "If you come two days late, there is no need to look for you in this matter, because the palace believes that she will not live for two days." It's a pity that the emperor was too anxious, and immediately ordered you to come and treat these sick people in the inner courtyard of the palace, so that he couldn't even listen to the words of the palace, and insisted on asking you to enter the palace immediately, so the palace had to call you to discuss this matter. ”

Empress Dowager Gao did not ask him to poison him, nor did she ask him to commit murder, but only let him neglect his duties and do not treat her. If this is changed to other imperial doctors, it is actually very tempting. Because nothing needs to be done to achieve the goal.

But Yang Xianmao is different, he has no interest in being an official in this era at all, and he doesn't want to stay any longer. His goal was to marry the lord of Yaoxiang and leave with them.

But now he is facing the will of the Empress Dowager Gao, and according to Yang Xianmao's memory, the Empress Dowager Gao will be in charge of the government for seven or eight years after the death of Song Shenzong, and finally return the government to her grandson Zhao Xu after he becomes an adult, which means that the emperor behind is actually the old woman in front of him.

Yang Xianmao has seen Song Shenzong, his physical condition is worrying, and Yang Xianmao himself can't be sure how long he can last. Because he didn't have the exact time of the emperor's death in his memory, Venerable Ling Xiao didn't care about worldly things.

Yang Xianmao only pondered for a moment before making a decision, of course he would not kill Concubine Zhu De, a poor woman, for his own selfish interests. But he has his own way, he wants to achieve his goal, and he will not let this Empress Dowager Gao trouble him.

However, since this old woman is so blatantly negotiating terms with herself, then she doesn't have to be polite. Just take this opportunity to have a showdown with her, and a showdown with her is much more effective than with Song Shenzong, who is about to die. At this time, Song Shenzong did not have the energy to take care of this kind of thing.

There are no palace maids and eunuchs around Empress Dowager Gao, so of course this kind of thing can't be heard by others. This is also in line with Yang Xianmao's heart, so he said: "The Queen Mother treats me as her own, and I am very grateful." I have a small request and would like to ask the Queen Mother for help. This matter is just a nod for the Queen Mother, and there is no more difficulty, I don't know if the Queen Mother is willing?"

The corners of Empress Dowager Gao's mouth showed a sneer, with a faint mockery, and she looked at the little imperial doctor in front of her with some playfulness.

It was the first time she had heard that someone dared to bargain with her, and she was extremely unhappy. But she is very patient, and she knows when and what to do. And now we need to use Huairou means, as for the future, will this little imperial doctor still be able to jump out of the palm of his hand?

Therefore, Mrs. Gao nodded expressionlessly and said, "You say, as long as this palace can do it, I will consider it." ”
