Chapter 1. Too initial also 23. Compromise
"Your Majesty...... Inuko ...... It's just that he is loyal to the country, His Majesty doesn't need to blame himself, and he has to take care of the dragon's body. Guo Yunsong lay on the bed with a sallow face, and when he saw Emperor Xuande enter the door, he forcibly propped up half of his body and wanted to get out of bed to salute.
"The old prince must not force himself to get up. After all, you and the imperial grandfather have a righteous relationship, how can you be lonely to receive the prince's great gift. As far as the public is concerned, it is true that we are kings and ministers, but in the heart of Huntie, we have always regarded you as my own uncle. You are so polite now, but you want to make me bear the infamy of being rebellious and unfilial. Emperor Xuande took three steps and made two steps, stepped forward to copy, and helped Guo Yunsong, who was about to kneel and salute, back to the bed, carefully tucked the quilt tightly, and held the right hand of the old prince hanging outside the quilt with both hands.
"The old minister deeply feels the kindness of His Majesty today. Ay...... Lao Chen's illness is an old wound left by the battlefield in his early years. Last night, the frost was gone...... The old minister is afraid that it is true, and there are not many days left. Guo Yunsong's hand held by the emperor kept trembling, his voice was intermittent, and his tone was full of aging and decadence.
"Uncle, don't be so depressed, you are the pillar of optimus on my Youbei Third Road. If there is no Taibai Janissary under the command of your Guo family, who else can shoulder the burden of defending the palace? Uncle, now that my Uncle Shuang is gone, Tai Baiwei is leaderless in an instant, so where can I go to find someone like the Guo family who can be completely trusted? So my nephew came here this time to ask you, so you will go out of the mountain again, right? Emperor Xuande clenched Guo Yunsong's right hand, his tone was sincere and his eyes were full of tears, and his words were even more excessively humble.
"Hunting, to put it mildly, the old minister has watched you and the first emperor grow up since childhood. Your father has always been in poor health, and when he was dying, he was willing to ask the old man, who was surnamed Wangye. You were only fourteen years old at the time, and you were handed over to the old minister. Now, Your Majesty is in his prime, and he no longer needs a dim and decrepit assistant. With your literary talent and military strategy, it is enough to stand on your own. Guo Yunsong shook his head and patted Emperor Xuande's hands tiredly.
"Hunting also knows that Uncle you are old, and now you have just experienced the pain of losing a child, so it is really difficult for you to go out of the mountain to assist again. But now this situation is ...... I don't have anyone to trust anymore...... Could it be that a few years later, Shen Gui, the son of Aunt Guo Zhen, will be called to enter the palace to raise Taibaiwei? Doesn't that look good? ”
"Ahem...... Your Majesty, you also know that Shen Gui, this child, has been in poor health since he was a child, and thanks to the rejuvenation god who succeeded the great shaman, he was able to get back a life. With a body like him, how can he still serve the country in the army? The old man also figured it out, although he is a grandson, my Guo family can only be inherited by him......" At this point, Guo Yunsong's voice was slightly hoarse, and his throat was blocked by a mouthful of phlegm and fire, but he just opened his mouth and coughed desperately and wheezed a few times, his straight legs kicked desperately, and as soon as his eyes rolled, the whole person passed out.
"Iron armor! Quickly passed on the arrival of the imperial doctor, and the prince passed out! Emperor Xuande yelled outside, and then lifted the quilt and rubbed Guo Yunsong's chest vigorously.
"Your Majesty, let the ministers come." The imperial doctor who came with him was the head of the palace hospital, Sun Baishu, who had practiced medicine for generations.
Emperor Xuande immediately got out of the way, gave up the position in front of the bed, and sat under the window. After the imperial doctor Sun turned sideways to let the emperor pass, he stepped forward and stretched out his two fingers to take the pulse slightly, and then leaned down to the old prince's mouth and nose to listen to the sound of breathing. After listening for a few breaths, he took out a roll of red cloth from the medical box he carried with him. Hearing only the sound of 'swish', Sun Baishu stretched out his hand and shook off the red cloth, and there were many silver needles of different lengths pinned to it.
"Bring a lamp." After hearing this, the iron armor behind him lit an oil lamp and pushed a takeover table beside the bed. This Sun Baishu held a few silver needles in his right hand and stretched out into the flames. "Take off the old prince's clothes." After saying that, he raised his right arm lightly, and applied seven needles on the armpits, chest, top of his head, navel, and the tiger's mouth of both hands of the unconscious Guo Yunsong, and then raised his hands and used the index fingers and thumbs of both hands to move the tail of the needles on the chest and navel respectively.
"After I lift the needle, quickly help Lao Wang to get up." Seeing Tie Jia nodding, Sun Baishu quickly pulled out the silver needle with both hands, and then his body moved to the back of the prince, reaching out and pushing it hard from the waist to the top.
"Ahem... Drink... Bah. Imperial Doctor Sun pushed this palm, Guo Yunsong immediately opened his eyes slightly, turned his head and spit out a mouthful of yellow phlegm under the bed, and then fell asleep again. But everyone found that between the prince's breathing, there was no longer the suffocating momentum just now.
"Back to Your Majesty, the prince is no longer concerned. It's just that you need to maintain a light diet on weekdays, avoid the thick smell of ointment, and avoid salty and spicy tobacco and alcohol. I will prescribe a few more pairs of medicine to clear the fire and calm the mind, take it on time, and it will be cured in a few days. Sun Baishu smiled and instructed Tie Jia a few words, and then took out a few pills: "In addition, this phlegm cough should be the cold winter wind evil entering the body." If you cough again, take a pill to relieve cough and asthma. In the future, if you finish serving, send someone to my Sun Medical Center to get it again. After saying that, after saluting the emperor, he went out of the room.
"Your Majesty, you have seen it too. Our old prince, in recent years, is not very good, every year since the first winter snow, can not go out, can survive the spring, can be regarded as another year of life! It's not that the Guo family doesn't want to worry about the king, it's just that now that this son is gone, the old and the young in the family are small. The younger ones are only left to serve the family......" Tie Jia wiped his tears and said with a choked voice.
"The Guo family is full of loyalty. Unexpectedly, the old prince protected my Yan family for three generations, and ended up like this. I have a heartache......" After speaking, he stood up and shook his head, and waved his hand towards the iron armor who chased him out to be sent away: "Iron armor, you are a righteous servant, take good care of the old prince and my cousin for me, even if you are worried about the king." After speaking, he went out to board the car and was surrounded by a team of guards.
"Phew, something." Tie Jia and Shen Gui, who were standing outside the gate of the palace, and Guo Yunsong, who was in the inner room, spat in unison.
"I'm here to ask you, how is Guo Yunsong's old guy's health?" Emperor Xuande Yan Hunt, who was still full of sorrow just now, called the imperial doctor Sun Baishu into the carriage at this time, and asked with a gloomy face.
"The prince of Zhongshan has been fighting horses all his life, and he has had countless war sores. When he was young, he didn't show up, but when he reached his age, it was naturally a step in winter. Last year, the minister was also invited by Deputy Commander Guo to see the old prince. I didn't think that this was less than a year, but it had deteriorated to this point. If you look at the speed of deterioration, I'm only afraid of ......" Speaking of this, Sun Baishu cautiously looked at Emperor Xuande's eyes.
"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it."
"Judging from the minister's shallow medical skills, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter."
After Emperor Xuande heard this, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth: "That's it, in the future, you can often go to the mansion to treat the old prince, and all the precious medicinal materials in the inner library can be used as needed, no need to play." ”
Sun Baishu bowed his head, and the two of them returned to the palace in a car.
"Thanks to the divine grass sent by the fifth brother, this trip can be hidden from the world, hahaha!" Shen Gui and Tie Jia were outside the inner mansion when they heard the angry laughter of the King of Zhongshan. The two looked at each other and ran briskly into the house.
"It's always called Hanako! Why are you still chasing home? Shen Gui looked at the two old men sitting opposite the room in surprise, one of them was dressed as a ragged beggar, and it was the old beggar he met yesterday.
"What else can I do when I call Hanako to the door, I want food. By the way, I will bring this girl to you, and it will save her from looking for it herself. Shen Gui turned around when he heard this, only to see Hongluan sitting on the edge of the window beside him.
"Grandpa, let me tell you, this old Hanako has been pestering me for a day, and I don't know where it came from. No matter what he says, don't believe it, and quickly blast everything away. Shen Gui walked behind Guo Yunsong and pinched his shoulders while making a small report.
"When a distinguished guest comes to the door, how can there be a reason to bombard people regardless of a full meal? I think this Lin Si is worried, and I teach you that there are no rules at all. The old prince scolded Shen Gui with a smile and glanced at the iron armor. Let the kitchen cook, just now this toss, I also feel a little hungry. ”
Since last night, Guo Shuang's body has been carried into the gate, and no rice has been eaten until noon today. Seeing this unknown old beggar now, he actually said that he was hungry, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll go to the kitchen now." But I still have to listen to the words of the imperial doctor just now, and the thick flavor of tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea can be exempted, so let's have a boiled ...... today."
"Set up a table of eight treasures, and the wine should be aged to the gods! Go ahead. The old prince waved his hand and blasted the nagging iron armor out of the door.
"Who the hell are you who stinky for food? What are you going to do when you come to our house? Shen Gui pulled a chair and sat down at the table, staring at the old beggar with his eyes and asking.
"Are you really so easy to deceive as an imperial doctor? Your grandfather's body is bones, not to mention that he still has 20 years of life. If there is no fairy grass sent by the old Huazi, and then it is tested by the imperial doctor, can the little emperor rest assured? The old beggar swallowed the sunflower seeds on the table while throwing the melon seed skin at Shen Gui's face.
"What fairy grass is so powerful? Can the ancestral old imperial doctor number the wrong pulse? Shen Gui looked incredulous.
"This is the secret ingredient in our flower line, and we all call it Hades. This herb is non-toxic, and it is not a big problem for ordinary people to eat it, but the pulse is slippery, and the qi is not good, and eating a few more trees will make people hold their breath and fake their death. We street beggars usually use it to touch porcelain. ”
"It's just such a thing, and you can deceive the Tai Hospital? Why don't I believe it at all? ”
"Sun Baishu is very talented, and his ancestral medical skills have not yet been learned, how can he know this method of not curing diseases. If it is more than a partial herb, we call it a capable person, and with a little means, you can let Sun Baishu give his own father a happy pulse, do you believe it or not? The old beggar squinted his eyes in disdain, and his smug expression was very annoying.
"Gotta get it, just wait for the meal to begin." Shen Gui waved his hand at the old beggar, turned his head and asked King Zhongshan, "What is Yan Hunt's grandson doing today?" ”
"It's clear that they're here to throw stones and ask for directions. Being low-profile is nothing more than wanting to wash off the stem, and by the way, see how long I can hold out on to the old man. If time is running out as now, just wait another year, anyway, the old man has no heirs, so he doesn't have to be a villain in vain; If I find out today that I still have a few years of longevity, he will come to some hard and find a reason to destroy my Guo family. Guo Yunsong said this, there was no excited expression on his face, but in a light tone, as if he was narrating something that had nothing to do with him.
"You're just a prince with a different surname, and your whole family lives in Fengjing City. How can he be so restless, wanting to kill him quickly? Shen Gui took a sip of water and asked strangely.
"In the final analysis, it was because of the rebellion a few years ago when the kid with King Yan Xiang was wrapped in the Golden Armor Forbidden Army and usurped in the name of the Qing monarch, which scared him. Although after the defeat of King Huai, Yan Zhan cut off the head of his own uncle and made it into a wine cup, which he held in his hand every day and used it to play. But he never clung to the fear of rebellion in his heart. Because of this, Yan Hunt, who originally seemed to be honest and honest, has become what he is now. At this time, the old prince glanced at the old beggar at the table, and the old beggar also looked at him, still clacking melon seeds in his mouth.
The old prince sighed again and said: "The reason why your uncle died in battle, to put it bluntly, is that the emperor wants to really hold Taibaiwei in his hands, so that Taibaiwei will become a soldier of his Yan family from top to bottom." If I could take the frost away when I took off my armor that day, maybe there would be no yesterday's disaster. Speaking of this, Guo Yunsong's eyes turned slightly red again.
When the old beggar heard this, his eyes were full of banter: "Fart." As long as you have a man in the Guo family, even a man with a foreign surname like Shen Gui, or in the eyes of outsiders, he is just a subordinate iron armor. As long as one of them is still alive, Emperor Xuande will not be able to sleep peacefully. ”
Shen Gui pursed his lips: "Then this Sun Baishu's skills are really bad." It's just that I don't know Hades grass, it turns out that I can't even cure insomnia. ”
