Chapter 21: Unscrupulous

When Imperial Physician Chen heard this, he was overjoyed, and replied with a resolute face: "For the emperor, he will never escape in the face of a strong enemy, but can only face the attack; for the emperor, he will only kill the enemy without any mercy; for the emperor, he will do whatever it takes to destroy the enemy." Stepping on the bones of the enemy is the path of the emperor!"

"Unscrupulous?" The corners of Fang Ling's mouth hooked up a cruel smile, in the days when this winter first came, he determined the path of his life, he waved his hand wantonly, and said resolutely: "Imperial Physician Chen, I agree to your request, if I become an emperor one day, I will definitely help your master Imperial Physician Cao rehabilitate." ”

Imperial Physician Chen was immediately overjoyed, and said with his head deeply on the ground: "The subordinates believe that His Highness will one day become the lord of the Chu State, and I, Chen Mou, am willing to die without regrets for His Highness!"

Fang Ling nodded with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to get up, and then sighed with his hands: "However, if you are in this palace, how can you fight the queen mother?"

Chen Mou smiled and said, "Your Highness, I have a plan to ensure that Your Highness can leave the palace safely." ”

"What?" Fang Ling was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

Chen Mou said with a smile: "I don't know if Your Highness knows that since the founding of our country, there has been a law to send the prince to various places to establish princes' territories?"

"Princes' territories?" Fang Ling said strangely.

Chen Mou nodded and explained: "Whenever the prince becomes an adult, according to the law of Great Chu, these princes will be canonized to various places, although there are not too many towns under their jurisdiction, but they can become the lord of one side for the rest of their lives. ”

Fang Ling suddenly came to his senses and said to himself: "No wonder Empress Song came to talk to me at this time, it turned out that she was afraid that my father would give me a fief?"

Although he said it quietly, Chen Mou was the tip of his ear, and he was shocked when he heard it: "What, the queen mother has already looked for Her Royal Highness?"

Fang Ling didn't hide it from him, so he told him about going to the queen's bedroom, and Chen Mou heard it and said: "I think His Royal Highness's guess is true, I'm afraid the purpose of the queen's temptation is really for this matter." ”

Fang Ling sneered, this sinister woman really went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, if she hadn't met Imperial Doctor Chen, I'm afraid she really couldn't understand her intentions.

I only heard Chen Mou say: "The queen is so worried about this matter, and it proves that this matter is indeed the best policy to get out of the palace, I think the queen has also had a hunch that there will be some waves because of this matter on the day of the prince's wedding." ”

"You're saying that someone is going to bring up this matter on the prince's wedding day?" Fang Ling asked.

Chen Mou nodded and said: "There are not many heirs of the former emperor and the current emperor, so this canonization has not been carried out for many years, but this is the royal law promulgated by the ancestor emperor when the country was founded three hundred years ago, and it was carved on the stone of the imperial mausoleum, and it has never been changed." Some veterans in the court paid great attention to this law and regulations, but in fact, they made a statement about His Royal Highness being locked in the cold palace, but it was a pity that the emperor hated Su Guifei for rebelling back then, and they all rejected it. ”

Fang Ling snorted heavily when he heard this, although the person who was called the emperor was indeed his own father, but he had never had any good impression of this man, to be honest, he didn't believe that a kind woman like his mother could be involved in a rebellion case?

Chen Mou continued: "On the day of the prince's wedding, the envoys of neighboring countries will come, I am afraid that the queen is these old ministers will bring up the old things again, and there are envoys from various countries, the emperor is very likely to relax, after all, this Great Chu law was established by the ancestors of the dynasty, and it is unshakable, and His Royal Highness is now an adult, everything is in accordance with the etiquette law." If the emperor does not let go, once the matter is reported, I am afraid that it will hurt the country. ”

Fang Ling nodded again and again when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine what a powerful advisor this gentle Imperial Doctor Chen was, so he praised: "Fortunately, I met Imperial Doctor Chen today, otherwise I really didn't know that there was so much inside information." ”

Chen Mou sighed and said: "Since the master was beheaded, Wang Juming was soon promoted to the position of the head of the Tai Hospital, so I have never dared to act rashly and pretend to be addicted to gambling, but now I know that His Royal Highness has a far-sighted plan, so I can say what has been hidden for so long." ”

Fang Ling bowed slightly, so he asked, "Who are those old ministers you are talking about?"

Chen Mou replied: "Among the courtiers, the most active support for His Royal Highness to be crowned king is some ministers headed by Lord Taibao, Lord Xue is one of the three princes established by the previous emperor's testament, and has been the teacher of the current emperor, and has always adhered to the law, and has always had a negative attitude towards the matter of His Royal Highness being locked in the cold palace. It's just that although Lord Xue is ranked as the third prince, he doesn't have any real power, so he is not the opponent of the queen mother at all. What's more, now the power of the queen mother and the prime minister have merged into one, and the power is even greater. Therefore, if His Highness wants to act exactly, it is better to discuss it with Lord Xue. ”

Fang Ling nodded again and again when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Chen Mou a few more times, and said that the big hidden in the city, this Imperial Doctor Chen is hidden in the deep palace, I am afraid that it is even more hidden, I didn't expect that I could inadvertently meet such a talent, it can be called a great luck, now that Wu has Dong Canghai, and there is Chen Imperial Doctor, it seems that God treats himself well.

He pondered for a moment and said, "However, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to visit Lord Xue's mansion directly, who knows if he has the eyes and ears of Queen Song by his side?"

Imperial Physician Chen also frowned and pondered: "Your Highness's concerns are not inappropriate, not only the queen's mother, Prime Minister Cui is also extremely powerful, and his subordinates have countless protΓ©gΓ©s, if people know that His Royal Highness is actually outside the palace, the news will immediately reach the ears of the queen." ”

Fang Ling nodded, and then asked, "Which force is Tang Zihao, the general of this city gate?"

Imperial Physician Chen said: "Lord Tang belongs to the neutral faction and has never been very involved in the affairs of the imperial court disputes, and it is precisely because of this that the emperor is very relieved to let him manage the army in the city. ”

Fang Ling asked again: "What about Yao Jing of Dali Temple?"

Although Imperial Physician Chen was a little curious as to why Fang Ling asked about these two people, he immediately replied: "Lord Yao is Lord Xue's protΓ©gΓ©, and naturally he is Lord Xue's power. ”

When Fang Ling heard this, he had an idea in his heart, isn't it tomorrow the Qianju Banquet, when the time comes, whether it is officials, businessmen or ordinary people, they will have to go, if they meet Yao Jing in that situation, it will not arouse people's suspicions, and then he will pull the strings from it, it should be feasible.

Then, Fang Ling asked about Chen Mou's concealment of the Heavenly Pill, and Imperial Physician Chen said that although there were several rare "medicine" materials, he would definitely be able to make the "Medicine" Pill within three days.

Fang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, four days later happened to be the day when the corpse was thrown in the prison, in this way, the time should be enough, and if you sell a few hundred-year-old ginseng, the cost of entering the prison will not be worried.

Not long after Chen Mougang left, Ren Huai'an came with a few arresters, and at this time, Ren Huai'an had already lost his domineering expression earlier, with a respectful and humble face, and while talking about the arrest of Yu Tiancheng, he ordered his subordinates to help clean up the house and send the honey pills recovered from Qingdetang.

Fang Ling secretly said that although this He Hong is 'treacherous', he can do things quickly, but such people can only be used, and they can't be deeply acquainted.

The next morning, Fang Ling came to Renxin Hall as usual with the "medicine" materials and the prepared honey pills.

Hu Daju was in the shop, as if he had encountered some happy event, he smiled so much that he couldn't help but laugh, and when he saw Fang Ling coming, he quickly stood up and welcomed him into the shop, and said mysteriously: "Does Fang Gongzi know that a major event happened yesterday?"

"What's the big deal?" Fang Ling had already guessed what he was going to say, but he didn't break it.

Sure enough, I saw Hu Dahai and said with a straight smile, "The shopkeeper of Qingdetang, Yu was actually arrested by the people of the Criminal Department yesterday, you didn't see it, the scene at that time was a sensation, there were twenty or thirty arrests, and after catching Yu Tiancheng, he was directly shackled." ”

"Hehe, that's a happy event. Fang Ling smiled faintly.

Hu Dahai continued: "What's the funniest thing is that his crime is actually intended to bribe officials. I see, it's not that the intention is to give bribes, it's to bribe people who have less money, not enough to add to people's teeth, and then go around "messing around" and saying, that's why I'm arrested. ”

Fang Ling didn't say much, just laughed on the side, but he knew clearly in his heart that this matter had already been said when Ren Huai'an came yesterday, and the reason why he made such a big scene was probably He Hong deliberately did it for himself.

Hu Dahai finished speaking happily, and when he was about to lead Fang Ling to the inside, he heard someone shouting from afar, so he immediately took a step.

The shouter was a 20-year-old guy, dressed in a green coat, looking very delicate, but his face was full of sadness, and he was in a hurry, and he was in a hurry at first glance.

Hu Dahai asked Fang Ling to wait for a while, and hurriedly walked down to greet him, hugging his fists and saying, "Isn't this the little seventh brother of the Xinyi Hou Mansion, what is the cost of going to the small shop?"

Hearing that the little guy was from the Xinyi Marquis Mansion, Fang Ling couldn't help but look at this little seven a few more times.

Fang Ling to the palace and outside the palace most of the people from the mouth of Dong Canghai he has heard about Xinyi Hou Zhou Qian, he has heard that he was originally just a small leader of the Chu State to guard the border pass, ten years ago when the Chu Emperor went to the border pass encountered an enemy attack, it was he who sacrificed his life to save the life of the Chu Emperor, so he went all the way to become the Xinyi Hou, and now he is a very famous figure in the imperial city.

Yesterday, when I was chatting with Chen Mou, I heard him talk about it again, so I was very impressed, it is said that this person is brave and righteous, and he is very appealing in the army, and because he does not participate in the conflict of court forces, he is highly valued by the emperor.

Xiao Qi trotted over all the way, didn't even have time to breathe, took out a "medicine" prescription and said: "Shopkeeper Hu, see if you have these 'medicine' materials in your shop, I have found a few shops for these 'medicine' materials and have no stock." ”
