Chapter 34 On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds
"Good boy, let the imperial doctor take a look, but what's the big deal?" As soon as she saw Shen Ze who was helped in by the two little eunuchs, the Queen Mother showed a loving smile, and asked with concern.
"Empress Dowager Qi, except for the injuries to his arms and fingers, there are no other major problems." After Shen Ze knelt down and saluted, the ninja replied in a hoarse voice with a sharp pain in his throat.
"It's all like this, what a big gift, hurry up." The Queen Mother hurriedly motioned to the two kneeling little eunuchs behind him to help Shen Ze up, "I think in addition to that, this throat should also be shown to the imperial doctor." ”
Just now when Shen Ze was almost strangled to death by the female assassin, someone from the palace had already taken a step forward and came to report it. At this moment, seeing the shocking bruises on Shen Ze's neck, the Queen Mother was grateful, but also a little distressed.
The imperial doctor hurriedly stepped forward and led Shen Ze into the side hall of Fengqi Palace to apply medicine to him to heal his injuries.
After the injuries on his body were treated by the imperial doctor, Shen Ze felt a lot better. The pain in his throat has decreased, and although his voice is still hoarse when he speaks, the pain is not as unbearable as before.
When I returned to the main hall of Fengqi Palace again, in addition to the queen mother, there was also the emperor who had just finished handling things and rushed over to appease my mother.
"Weichen see the emperor and the queen mother." Shen Ze stepped forward and kowtowed.
"Flatten down. Today, you have made a meritorious contribution to saving the Queen Mother, and whatever reward you want, just bring it up. The emperor said in a cordial tone and said with a smile.
"Wechen just did what he should do as a courtier, and he didn't dare to take credit." Although he really wanted to make a request now, Shen Ze still pressed it down and said the most important thing to say.
Sure enough, the emperor and the queen mother all showed a satisfied smile, and the queen mother even smiled: "This kid is really sincere." Although you don't dare to take credit, the emperor and the mourning family can't help but appreciate, if you want anything, you just say, after this village, there will be no such shop. ”
Shen Ze retreated: "Enlighten the emperor and the queen mother, Weichen doesn't want other rewards, just want to ask the emperor for a favor." ”
The emperor didn't expect him to say this, and raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Tell me about it. ”
"Weichen wants to leave Beijing with his father and go to Yunzhou to recuperate. I also hope that His Majesty will be approved. ”
The emperor was curious: "There is the best imperial doctor in the capital, and your mother takes care of you, why do you take Wei Guogong on a long journey to such a far place?" How can his current body withstand the pain of a long journey? ”
Shen Ze is currently only hoping to save his father, and he doesn't want to make more trouble to sue Xiao Fei's family. Although he has won the gratitude of the Queen Mother and the favor of the Emperor now, that Xiao Fei has been working hard for more than ten years, and his perfect image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If he rashly exposes her true face, without any evidence in his hand, how can he win the trust of the emperor and the queen mother? If the Duke of Weiguo, who has already handed over his military power, is finally brought out, and still has power in the army, I am afraid that it will cause the emperor to be angry and cause the disaster of annihilation.
Therefore, he replied: "Bi Tuo, the world's first miracle doctor, was entrusted by Weichen's grandfather to come to his father's house regularly to regulate his body. However, a year ago, the divine doctor went on a long trip, and his father's condition suddenly worsened, so he had no choice but to invite the imperial doctor in the palace to come for treatment. Wechen followed the trail of the miracle doctor and finally found him last month. Dr. Bi Shen has been conditioning his father's body for decades, and he knows his condition best. Hearing that his condition was worsening, Dr. Bi refused to come with Weichen. He said that the climate in Beijing was not suitable for his father's body at all, and if he stayed in Beijing, even if Dr. Bi came to him, he would not be able to cure him at all, and only by taking him to Yunzhou Yaowang Valley, which is like spring all year round, and treating him in the hot spring soaked in elixir all year round, could he cure his father's illness. Now that Doctor Bi has rushed to the Valley of the Medicine King, he is waiting for Weichen to bring his father to go, so Weichen has the courage to beg His Majesty for permission. The words are sincere, and a piece of filial piety makes people unable not to move.
There are eight truths and two falsehoods in his words. A year ago, Bi Tuo did not hide his whereabouts when he came to visit Wei Guogong, but he was rescued by Shen Ze and placed in Zhuangzi, but it was very secretive, and no one would have thought that he would live in a woman Zhuangzi who couldn't be beaten with eight poles. And Shen Ze's whereabouts are even more secret, his escape from the Weiguo Mansion, Xiao Fei's family can't wait for no one to ask, how can he publicize it everywhere. He didn't have any friends to visit him, so even if he disappeared from Beijing for two years, no one found him. After Bi Tuo prepared the medicine for the county lord, he packed his bags and went to Yunzhou first. In this operation, if Shen Ze can't pick up his father, Bi Tuo will not have a chance to treat Wei Guogong even if he stays in Beijing, and the climate in Beijing is not suitable for Wei Guogong's body, which is not a lie, so Shen Ze asked Bi Tuo to rush to Yunzhou to arrange treatment first.
The emperor also knew about Bi Tuo, and he had tried to recruit him into the palace earlier, but the old man was very out of tune, and in the face of the emperor's solicitation, he actually sat on the ground and cried, crying that once he entered the palace, he would definitely die soon. It was also the first time the emperor had met such a person, so he was very impressed. However, he also knew that although Bi Tuo was not in tune, his medical skills were very clever, and he said so, I am afraid that Wei Guogong's disease can only be cured in Beijing.
If the emperor didn't hear Shen Ze's words, it would be okay, and now that he refuses after hearing it, wouldn't it seem that he deliberately didn't let Wei Guogong cure his illness? In addition, Shen Ze had just saved the Queen Mother, and the emperor had no reason to refuse, and he couldn't say anything inaccurate.
After a long groan, the emperor finally spoke: "Since this is the case, then I ......"
At this moment, a small eunuch's announcement came from outside the door, interrupting what the emperor said. "Your Majesty, Lord Zuo Xiangfei asks to see you."
"Xuan."
"Weichen Feining, knock to see His Majesty."
"Flat." The emperor thought that Zuo Xiang also came to intercede for his son-in-law's departure from Beijing, and said with a smile: "Fei Ning, are you here to defend the country for treatment in Beijing?" You've really come here for nothing, and I'm just preparing for what the prince of the kingdom will play. ”
"Your Majesty, Shen Ze is young and ignorant, and he doesn't think about things well enough. Wei Chen came this time to stop him from making random requests in front of His Majesty, but he was still a step too late. The minister implored His Majesty to retract his order. ”
The emperor and the queen mother both had a look of surprise on their faces, and they didn't expect him to come to this way.
"Why did Lord Fei say this?" The Queen Mother interjected directly and asked.
"My son-in-law, when he is at his weakest, how can he afford to travel a long way? He has been on the sickbed for decades, and he has always been carefully taken care of by the little girl, but now he not only has to endure the pain of bumps all the way, but he is not served by his careful and thoughtful wife, which is not worse for his body? When the time comes, I'm afraid that I won't reach my destination yet...... Shen Ze only thought about taking his father out for treatment, but he never considered the actual situation, after all, he was still young and inconsiderate. Zuo Xiang looks like a good elder who is hard-hearted.
"Lord Zuo Xiang's words are wrong. The first emperor was sympathetic to his grandfather's old age and decrepitness, and the old diseases of the early years of the war recurred in his later years, and he gave a troika carefully made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. My grandfather's legs hurt so much that he couldn't walk at all, and he relied on the treasure car given by the emperor to go out. As for the mother, the grandson didn't think it through, so he asked the emperor and the queen mother to accompany him so that he could take care of his father all the way. Shen Ze and Zhihua had already imagined Xiao Fei's various excuses together, but they didn't expect that it was Zuo Xiang who came out to stop them. However, he obviously came at the behest of Xiao Fei, and the reason for blocking it was also expected, so Shen Ze's retort immediately blurted out.
Zuo Xiang was speechless. Can he say that even with the carriage given by the emperor, it is not easy to travel such a long way? Questioning the royal gift, does he want his old life? Xiao Fei's roots are all in the capital, how could she agree to go out of Beijing with Shen Bin's father and son? There was chaos in the palace today, and it was too late to learn that Shen Ze had saved the Queen Mother, and in a hurry, Xiao Fei only explained these two reasons for stopping, but he didn't have time to think about how to deal with Shen Ze's rebuttal, so Zuo Xiang's face turned red at the moment, and he couldn't speak.
Seeing that the emperor was about to give an order when he opened his mouth, Fei Ning hurriedly spoke first: "Now that the internal and external affairs of the Duke of Weiguo are all taken care of by your mother, you really can't get away from going with your father, so let her stay in the capital to take care of the family." ”
Shen Ze pressed step by step: "The saint has clouds, he is not married to his father, he is married to his husband, and his husband is dead from his son." Now that the father is still alive, the mother does not accompany the husband who is seriously ill and travels far away, but stays at home in order to take care of the housework. According to what her grandson has seen, even if she is sick, she will not rest assured that there is no caring person around her father to take care of her, and she will definitely go with her illness. The words were eliminated and beaten, blocking all the shirks of the left phase.
The Queen Mother nodded directly: "That's right." Your mother's mourning family knows best, and she must be her husband as the heaven. Your Majesty, you will make an order to let their family of three go to Yunzhou together. Shen Ze is so filial, he must want to go with his parents. ”
The goal was finally about to be achieved, Shen Ze was excited in his heart, and his face showed a heartfelt look of gratitude: "Weichen thanked the emperor and the queen mother for their compassion on behalf of his father!" "After that, I really knocked down three rings.
