Chapter 116
This year, the year has been separated from the tired, the saint suddenly fell ill in the first month, has been secretly Xuan Taiyi, did not disclose to the public, the palace banquet is still open every day, every time Emperor Qixiang is out of the scene to show his face, call a few to talk, drink two glasses of wine and go back, until the end of the banquet, no longer appear. If the emperor didn't come, the matter of the toast was sent to the princes, which was very fair, starting from the oldest second prince, one a day, and after the seventh prince, it was transferred back to the second prince, and the rest of the unknighted princes were the followers of the brothers.
It stands to reason that with the most powerful doctor in the world, Emperor Qixiang's illness should get better quickly, but in fact this is not the case. After fifteen, there was already news that the saint was seriously ill. At that time, Lu Shiming, the first assistant, tried his best to suppress it, so that the DPRK and China were not full of gossip.
But when the two Chang dynasties were not present, the news could not be suppressed, and Emperor Qixiang's illness was really serious, and the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital gathered in the palace, studying the condition under the leadership of the hospital every day, and dealing with more people to dispel the news of the sage.
The princes also went to the palace, guarding Emperor Qixiang's hospital bed every day, serving without undressing, and from time to time grabbing the neck of the imperial doctor and threatening him. The most lively thing is that every time the medicine is served, there are always four or five hands rushing over to the end, and seven or eight spoons are trying to divide the medicine and taste it. scared the imperial doctor, and he had to protect the medicine bowl at all times. Nima, how much medicine can be in a bowl, seven or eight spoons can be tasted separately, and the last one that is fed to the mouth of the saint can have a bowl bottom.
As soon as these princes tasted the medicine, there was a very bad result. Originally, when the emperor was given medicine, he should be cautious, the dosage should be small, and the medicine should be as peaceful as possible. Okay, this group of princes has a taste of medicine. When the doctors prescribe prescriptions, they are more careful. You must know that there must be the next boss among these princes, what if something goes wrong when you taste the medicine?
The imperial doctors used the medicine carefully, and if the dosage was reduced, how could Emperor Qixiang's body get better. Lu Shiming didn't know much at the beginning, the emperor fell, and the burden on his body was the heaviest, and he hadn't closed his eyes for three or four days, and he slept in the work unit for more than ten days. But. He had to run to the emperor every day, and slowly he knew where the matter was.
At that time, not only Lu Shiming knew the way, but there was also a person in the palace who guessed it, that is, the mother of the seventh prince Xiao Jin, Concubine Niangniang. The emperor is sick, and in addition to the prince, these concubines should be served at the bedside. It's just that the princes have grown up, and these concubines are not very easy to come forward. Someone else wants to take this opportunity to let his son behave well in front of the emperor. Naturally, I don't go often.
But the emperor has been sick day by day, and he has not been getting better, and he has not let go of his mouth and let the prince go to receive state affairs, which really makes the former dynasty and the harem worry about their hearts. Concubine Shu has always been thoughtful. Although I haven't been here a few times, I can see it clearly.
She discussed with the concubine in private, saying that the saint's illness needs to be recuperated, so it is better for us to divide the labor. Every day a prince comes, and then, led by the prince's mother. Serve the saint together, and change people the next day.
How could the concubine be happy, she has only one son, and Concubine De gave birth to two, isn't that just to show up twice at the saint, and she will show up again. The other concubines are not happy, you all have sons, so what about those of us who don't have sons?
Concubine Shu told her son the reason in private, and Xiao Jin could only smile bitterly, wanting to persuade his brothers, but he was afraid that he would say that he was unfilial.
Seeing that Emperor Qixiang's illness was not good, but there was a heavy feeling, the princes blew up, and they all accused the imperial doctors of poor medical skills, and asked to recruit famous doctors from all over the world into the palace to treat the emperor.
The order of the Tai Hospital, coupled with the judgment of the left and right hospitals, can not know what is going on, all of them have a secret hatred in their hearts, and they have no choice, so they can only admit it, "The minister has to be not good at learning and art, please ask Lu Xiang to recruit a famous doctor into the palace." ”
Lu Shiming agreed with a headache, and he privately told the Tai Hospital order: "Can't you open less Taiping?" ”
Tai Hospital Ling also had a headache: "You have also seen the actions of the princes, how dare we use medicine?" "It is a three-point poison, and Chinese medicine pays the most attention to one person, the same disease, different people have to prescribe different prescriptions, and the amount of medicine has to be increased or decreased. These dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, who are not sick, take medicine to death every day, if they eat badly, who is it!
Lu Shiming agreed to ask the emperor for a famous doctor, and the princes' minds moved again, if he invited a doctor to cure the emperor, it would be a great credit. When you think about it, you can't sit still. The second prince nodded first, "I know that there is a doctor in Lu Dao, who has very good medical skills, and in order to show his sincerity, he needs to invite him personally." After speaking, he knelt in front of the emperor's couch and cried, Emperor Qixiang closed his eyes, waved his hand, and allowed him to go.
The second prince succeeded in the first battle, almost jumped out of the palace, galloped all the way, and ran home. He was the first to come out, and he had to hurry up and get a powerful enough doctor, and the news sent out some time ago, I don't know if Lu Dao's family went to Jiangnan to invite the famous doctor back, he had to ask carefully to ensure that the credit was in his own hands.
When the third prince saw that the second prince had run away, where could he sit still, he brewed it like this, and he also came out. The rest of us looked at it, we can't lag behind, and we all came out. At that time, among the unknighted princes, several were afraid that the older royal brothers would leave the palace, and they stayed in front of their father, suspected of taking the opportunity to be courteous, and fearing that the brothers would retaliate in the future, so they came out in a daze.
Xiao Jincai tossed out the porridge and side dishes from the imperial dining room, and when he entered the palace of Emperor Qixiang to recuperate, he found that his brothers were gone, and he looked stunned. Then, a little eunuch came over and said to the big eunuch Li Changgui, "The ladies are all here, and now they are outside the palace, waiting for the saint to summon them." ”
Li Changgui naturally saw the food box in Xiao Jin's hand, and hurriedly came over to take it, "The prince has worked hard." ”
"It's nothing compared to the other brothers." Xiao Jin entered the inner hall, and Emperor Qixiang was slightly aware of it and opened his eyes slightly.
Xiao Jin went over and sat on the edge of the bed and tucked the quilt for him, "Father, my son has boiled some porridge with his own hands, and he has made some side dishes, you can try it." ”
Emperor Qixiang got up slightly, Xiao Jin hurriedly went over to support him, Li Changgui was very eye-catching and took the mat and handed it to Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin gave Emperor Qixiang a cushion, brought a bowl of porridge, and slowly fed it to Emperor Qixiang.
Emperor Qixiang drooped his eyelids, looking very haggard, but his appetite was not bad. When I ran out of a bowl of porridge, I actually wanted to eat more, but was stopped by Xiao Jin, "Father, you are still weak." ”
"Xiao Qi, why don't you go looking for a doctor?" Emperor Qixiang lay down and suddenly asked.
"My son is useless, I don't know any famous doctors, my brothers went, and my son just stayed to do his filial piety." Xiao Jin pulled the quilt for Emperor Qixiang. I sat down on the side of the bed.
Emperor Qixiang's illness, the time is still so long, the whole god is a little vibrate, plus the princes are looking for miracle doctors and robbing doctors every day, people are panicked, and they have everything to say for a while.
Lin Ruhai looked at the position that had been empty for a long time, sighed, and didn't know what happened to Xiao Jin. I heard that among the princes who have been crowned kings, only Ning Wangfu has not moved. Seemingly. He has not come out of the palace all the time.
Old man Yuan suddenly said: "Don't worry about him, he has a blessing." ”
Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Old Man Yuan, but found it. He closed his eyes again, and lay down and snoozed as if he hadn't spoken before. Lin Ruhai thought about it carefully, and couldn't believe what Old Man Yuan meant.
"Wife. What do you mean by Old Man Yuan? Lin Ruhai didn't dare to tell anyone, he only dared to return home at night and secretly bite his ears with Jia Min in the bed tent.
Jia Min's heart also skipped a beat when he heard this. Then he calmed down, and lowered his already low voice a little more, "Regardless of whether King Ning is the future emperor or not, can you still be separated from him?" ”
"How is that possible?"
"Isn't this the end, it's best for him to be the emperor. If you can't be it, it's nothing, at most you haven't been able to pass the Jinshi exam, let's beg your senior brother to cover it more. ”
"I'm afraid that he will not be able to protect himself by then." Lin Ruhai whispered.
Jia Min smiled slightly, "As long as King Qing and King An ascend the throne and others ascend the throne, he should be fine." "A prince who has no occupation, in addition to reading every day, is studying, and even his own strength is the least among the princes who have been crowned kings, and even his maternal uncle is keeping filial piety. With such a low-threat brother, that idiot emperor will be too idle to do anything, and he will cut it directly.
"You, don't worry about your senior brother, he's smart." Jia Min patted her husband, moved her body, found a comfortable position in his arms, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Lin Ruhai thought about it, his senior brother has a lot of eyes, who can play with him, it's really stupid. patted his head casually, pulled the quilt and went to sleep.
The palace was quiet for only a few days, and with the return of the princes with their respective doctors, it was lively again. For the matter of who should treat Emperor Qixiang first, there was a quarrel on the spot, the second prince and the third prince quarreled the most, and there were more doctors behind the two doctors, there were three or four, everyone had a wry smile in their eyes, there were a few, with a frosty look on their faces, obviously coming in a hurry.
They were noisy, Emperor Qixiang had already improved in the past few days, and he was directly furious, scolded his sons, and then drove them out, leaving only Xiao Jin.
The second prince and the third prince were stupid, they didn't shoot the dragon's fart, and they shot directly on the dragon's feet? Or did Lao Qi give the old man some medicine these days? No, didn't he just cook porridge every day, and he didn't do anything? I haven't even tasted medicine. Why did my father look at him so pleasing to the eye?
Whoever the emperor looks at is pleasing to the eye, the rest of the princes look at him unpleasantly, and none of the doctors invited are useless, and they also let themselves get a scolding, and these hatreds are all recorded on Ye Xiaojin.
A few princes who left the palace in the first few days wept bitterly, knelt down and begged, and asked for sin, anyway, they were full of tricks, and they never left the palace again. Emperor Qixiang didn't let them taste the medicine, and a swarm of bees rushed to the imperial dining room, which provoked Emperor Qixiang to get angry again, and they completely stopped.
Without the princes making trouble, the imperial doctors finally played their role, and Emperor Qixiang's health was improving. The second prince rolled his eyes and made another move. I went to decoct the emperor with my own hands, and it was easy to decoction the medicine, he made a cut on his arm and dripped blood into the medicine bowl, and the two imperial doctors almost cried. Oh mother, he can't use human blood as a medicine for this medicine!
When this person finished doing it, he felt very smart, and went back with this bowl of medicine with a solemn face, and also expressed his merits: "This is made by Erchen himself." ”
You're smart enough to add to it...... The two imperial doctors were all bitter, and quietly told the court order and the court judgment, and these people were also depressed, and quietly glared at the two of them: Why didn't you stop him!
That girl was too fast, we didn't have time!
Emperor Qixiang thinks that this medicine has a bloody smell today? He glanced at his second son, what stupid thing did this thing do, and when the doctor saw it, he even came out to sue him. "Saint, Qing Wangye's great filial piety, with his own essence and blood as medicine, the saint will be able to recover as soon as possible."
Emperor Qixiang took a sip, almost didn't spit it out when he heard the words, pinched his nose and swallowed it, there was no emotion expected by the second prince at all, and his heart was full of irritability. Damn, he said that the second child lacked heart and eyes, and he really came here.
But the son has filial piety. Emperor Qixiang still has to grind his teeth to admit it, a bowl of medicine down, last night's meal was almost vomited, and there is no need to eat today. After he finished taking the medicine, he drove his son home as soon as possible, "Go back, just leave Xiaoqi here, it's noisy every day, and the noise makes me have a headache." ”
The second prince bled out. got a home to recuperate, and by the way, he also pit out the other brothers, and the third prince sneered at him, regretting it in his heart at the time. Why didn't he think of that? No matter what the emperor thinks, at least the reputation of the second prince is filial piety!
Yes, fame comes out, full of up and down. are all praised, the saint and the second prince are the best image spokespersons for the father's kindness and filial piety. All kinds of compliments are thrown at the two of them like money. Lin Ruhai went back to confide in Jia Min, "I said that the saint's illness is so slow, and the son is too troublesome." ”
Anyway, Emperor Qixiang struggled to recover his health in the chaos of his sons. He was sick this time, he seemed to be lacking in energy, and his control over the court was declining, and he was found by several princes to find an opportunity and inserted a lot of his own manpower. Facing up, what I have often starred in recently is that I have participated in people, quarrels and so on.
After Emperor Qixiang recovered his health, Xiao Jin returned to the study again and became a good student of hard work. Lin Ruhai glanced at him, he had lost a little weight, and he seemed to be in good spirits, so he didn't ask much about what to do.
Time is very fast, and it will be April, and Xiao Jin is finally getting married. Emperor Qixiang seems to be expressing to the people in the court that he likes this son very much, and a series of etiquette specifications for Xiao Jin's wedding are the highest, and some even break through the specifications of the prince, but they are much lower than the prince, which makes the rest of the princes envious, jealous and hateful.
The senior brother got married and drank Lin Ruhai high, this is the result of protecting the senior brother. He really had never been so drunk, and he didn't know how he got home, and when he was carried to Songfeng Courtyard, he would only stare at Jia Min and smirk.
"This man really drank too much." Jia Min sighed, asked someone to put Lin Ruhai on the couch, beat the girls away, and did it herself, stripped her husband naked, and wiped him with a handkerchief.
Lin Ruhai smirked and grabbed Jia Min's wrist, "Hehe, wife." ”
Jia Min patted him, "Be honest." ”
"No, come and touch here." He held Jia Min's hand and walked down, and deliberately straightened his waist, "Here, here." ”
Jia Min was angry and funny, and he flicked his fingers, causing Lin Ruhai to scream, "Be honest, otherwise see how I clean you up." ”
"Not honest, not honest." The drunk man was very annoying, anyway, since Jia Min entered the house, he never came out, and he didn't ask the girls to come in to serve.
The next morning, Lin Ruhai, who was mixed and smooth, lay on the bed with his head covered and groaned in pain.
After Jia Min washed, he brought the decanting soup over, pinched his nose and poured it on him, and said with a smile: "See if you dare to drink so much wine!" Sleep a little longer, I've sent someone to ask you for leave. ”
Yesterday, Xiao Jin got married, and Old Man Yuan thought that Lin Ruhai and Yang Ze couldn't drink less, so they didn't plan to go to class today. As he expected, they all sent people to ask for leave.
Emperor Qixiang missed Concubine Shu yesterday for a good time, his son's growth process, and this morning he met the newlywed couple with a smile, and rewarded a lot of things, so he took someone out of the palace.
"Teacher, you taught Xiao Qi so well."
"Shen Zhi is gentle and considerate, and it is not my work."
"Teacher, what do you say will happen to Xiao Qi after that?"
"He's blessed." Old man Yuan twisted his beard and fished leisurely, and Emperor Qixiang sat beside him with his eyes open, listening to his next sentence. As a result, he was silent.
Emperor Qixiang stabbed him, "Go on?" ”
Old man Yuan turned his head sideways and said, "It's gone." ”
"It's gone?"
"That's right."
"You ......." Emperor Qixiang was so angry that he snatched Old Man Yuan's fishing rod, "I'll come." When Old Man Yuan resisted, he exposed his teacher's black bottom: "For so many years, I haven't seen you catch a fish, what a waste of so many fish." ”
Xiao Jin's relatives who became young in their twenties, Concubine Shu was not in a hurry to hug her grandson, but recruited her son and daughter-in-law to educate her well. He also told his son to be more considerate of his daughter-in-law, and not to be naughty and make her sad. He also told his daughter-in-law many of his son's preferences. Yin Yin told her that she must take good care of him, before her son and daughter-in-law left the palace, she put her son's hand in her daughter-in-law's hand and held it, "Xinhui, my son will be handed over to you." ”
Cui Xinhui's face turned red, but she still said generously: "Please rest assured, concubine." ”
"It is good for you to be in peace." Concubine Shu smiled in her eyes and watched her son and daughter-in-law slowly withdraw from the palace and leave.
Xiao Jin is also quite satisfied with his daughter-in-law at present. The two have been engaged early, they have met before, and they have exchanged letters in the past few years, so they know each other a little, and they are not strangers to each other.
Xiao Jin didn't ride a horse, and rode with his wife. By chatting when I went home, "When it is stable in a few days, let's invite Ruhai and them to come and sit at home." ”
Cui's also knew that Xiao Jin had a few friends who were good friends. nodded softly, "I was originally friends with Uncle Lin's wife, Jia, and I used to correspond often. It's just that she got married in the past two years. I keep filial piety, and I haven't seen it, but the letters have never been broken. ”
"Oh, and that relationship." Xiao Jin smiled. "Then it's better to get together."
This has been done for two, but it has dragged on for more than a month, and the Cui family has straightened out King Ning inside and out. Xiao Jincai posted it, and he didn't invite much, but just invited a few of his friends who got along well to come to the house to enjoy the flowers and drink. He also made a point of explaining that he learned a few new dishes and cooked them himself when the time came.
When Lin Ruhai heard this, they all nodded happily, and when the day came, they brought their respective wives, took gifts, and came to visit.
Because Jia Min and Cui's have an old relationship, she also went to visit before she got married, so the two arrived early today. Xiao Jin personally picked up Lin Ruhai, and Jia Min also connected with Cui's head, and the two of them met their eyes and smiled at the same time. Cui Shi didn't wait for Jia Min to come to worship, he had already come over and took her hand, "You are here, please come back quickly." ”
Even before the ceremony, Jia Min didn't plan to be polite, he followed Cui Shi to go in with a smile, the two sat down face to face, Jia Min looked carefully, and saw that Cui Shi was wearing a red Baizi Luo dress today, with slightly plump skin, apricot eyes and a smile, and he was comfortable and calm, which was more than a month ago.
"The princess looks good." Jia Min smiled lightly. After she walked over, she straightened out the affairs of the Lin family, and slowly picked up Jia Min's best friend before. Cui's was guarding filial piety before, and she was newly married, so it was not easy to come to see it, so she often wrote letters. or get any good flower dew and fresh snacks, they will give Cui's a copy, and after coming and going, the relationship between the two is very close.
Cui's also saw that Jia Min was wearing an apricot-red spring shirt, a willow-green Luo skirt, a slight smile on her hibiscus face, shallow and rippling phoenix eyes, indescribably beautiful and vulgar, and said in her heart: What a rare beauty, no wonder Uncle Lin is wholeheartedly devoted to her, she has not been pregnant for three years, and she has not seen him take a concubine.
Thinking of herself, Xiao Jin was also gentle and considerate to her, since she entered the mansion, the previous concubines have been beaten to the empty courtyard in the corners. Speaking of which, it's true that people gather like likes, these friends who Lin Ruhai got close to each other have few concubines in the room, and everyone has a good relationship with his wife. Xiao Jin mingled with them every day, not immune from their influence, and didn't look much at the concubines.
Cui's married life is happy, the mood is naturally comfortable, now her first task is to give birth to a son, from her own thought that Jia Min has been married for a few years without children, a little anxious for her, so he pulled her and whispered: "Do you have good news?" ”
Jia Min shook his head, "My husband originally planned to end up last year, but last year, you also knew that there were several things in our family, so it was delayed." I don't dare to delay it any longer this year, I must try it again. If you work hard today, who would dare to recruit him? ”
"And where's your mother-in-law?"
"It's okay, my in-laws are very considerate of us." Jia Min smiled very sincerely. It's not okay to be inconsiderate, after the oath, Lin Hou didn't dare to force his son at all. As for Mrs. Lin, is her opinion useful! (To be continued......)
