We all know that Zhang Juzheng is a student of Xu Jie, and it is natural for students to care about teachers, but Zhang Juzheng can speak for the teacher at this time, and I am also moved and warm by Zhang Juzheng's thoughtfulness and concern.

Xu Jie waved his hand and said: "The emperor's life and death are uncertain now, how can the old man go to rest as the first assistant, don't say it, the old man will die and see the emperor wake up before dying." ”

Zhang Juzheng saw that Xu Jie's attitude was very resolute and he didn't say anything, only Gao Gong sneered on the side and said: "Old Xu Ge, if you can't bear it, go back, don't hold it up." "Gao Gong and Xu Jie have always been at odds, we all know this, but Xu Jie's personality is more modest, so he doesn't have much to fight with Gao Gong, and now Xu Jie's student Zhang Juzheng has been promoted to the third person after him and Gao Gong, so Xu Jie wants to say goodbye to his hometown, and he is staying in the cabinet, and his eighty-year-old body is really unbearable.

Seeing Gao Gong's cynicism, Xu Jie didn't say anything, closed his rare eyes again, leaned back on the chair, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate, in the eyes of others, they may think that he, the first assistant, was afraid of Gao Gong, but smart people can see at a glance that this is disdain to go with Gao Gong, this is also Gao Gong, if Gao Gong is not sensible, it will be ridiculed by most people.

I looked at a few cabinet bigwigs outside who still hadn't forgotten the infighting, and it was not interesting, so they returned to the side hall. After replacing Chen for a long time, it is indeed very tiring to just take a posture.

Finally stayed up for an hour, I took out the beads, and put them in the water to soak, at this time I looked at the emperor's face, it had returned to normal, although it was still a little black, I gave the emperor a pulse, and the pulse beat was more powerful, although I haven't woken up yet, it is estimated that it is fine.

I said to Chen Jiu: "Manager Chen, the emperor is no longer in trouble, and when he waits again, he may wake up, you haven't even eaten dinner, and you have been serving the emperor, I see you rest." ”

Chen Jiu found a stool and sat down and said, "It's okay, Lord Lan, as long as the emperor can get better, I'm not afraid of being tired, we are just serving people's lives, not so delicate." ”

Now I am familiar with Chen Jiu, without the previous restraints, although most officials look down on eunuchs and disdain to associate with eunuchs, but I feel that Chen Jiu is still good, I also dragged a stool and sat on the side of Chen Jiu and said: "Manager Chen, you are so tired every day, you can eat." ”

"Lord Lan, we don't have anything to bear, we have to practice this profession since childhood, sometimes I can't sleep for several days, the emperor is always there, do you say I dare to sleep, I think I am very beautiful, follow the emperor, in fact, I am also very tired."

"Manager Chen, I see that you have infinite scenery, why are you very tired."

I know that Chen Jiu is not very free and does not have much power, although it looks good with the emperor, there are still a lot of insiders, and I am also trying to find out Chen Jiu's heart and see how the relationship with Feng Bao is.

Chen Jiu sighed and said: "Lord Lan, I am just the head of the Qianqing Palace, there are many people who are better than me, I don't want to look at people's faces to act, there is no way, the palace is the same as officialdom, and the relationship is also intertwined, I have followed the emperor since I was a child, and now it is better to have the emperor covered, if the emperor has an accident, I am afraid that I will die very miserably, Lord Lan." So you saved the emperor and saved my life. ”

"Manager Chen also said too politely, I am also the emperor's courtier, and I should also take action if the emperor is in trouble, are you familiar with Feng Bao's father-in-law?"

"Father-in-law Feng is the boss of our palace, the chief manager, and the queen mother is covered, how can I climb high, the general managers in this palace are all the disciples and grandchildren of Gonggong Feng, I am an alternative, so I can only follow the emperor closely, as long as the emperor is fine, I will be fine."

I know that the relationship in the palace is very complicated, but I didn't expect Chen Jiu to be so isolated, too, in his position, I don't know how many eyes are staring at and wanting to replace him, plus it is indeed not easy for Chen Jiu to have no backer.

I looked at the water in the basin and saw that it was not so dark, and changed it to another basin, and I looked at it and felt that it would not take two hours, so I took out the drug beads and stuffed them into the emperor's mouth.

It wasn't until dawn that I took out the beads for the third time, and this time the emperor's face had completely recovered, and his pulse was the same as that of ordinary people, but he didn't wake up, and I didn't put the beads in the basin this time, but put them in a small cloth bag in my arms.

Then he said to Chen Jiu: "Mr. Chen is in charge of the emperor and is no longer in trouble, I will go out and call the imperial doctor to come over." ”

Chen Jiu saw me walking out, grabbed me and said, "Lord Lan, the emperor hasn't woken up yet, do you want to come again." ”

"No need for Manager Chen, now that the emperor's poison has been lifted, he is still in a coma temporarily, just let the imperial doctor come over and prick the needle, and Manager Chen, I want to trouble you."

"You can say anything to Lord Lan, as long as I can do it."

"Manager Chen is actually not a big deal, I just want you to keep it secret, how I govern the emperor, you don't talk about it to anyone, including the emperor, if the emperor knows that we put the beads in his mouth, he will definitely be unhappy, maybe you and I will be punished for the crime of bullying the king, you are right."

"What Lord Lan said makes sense, I swear for a long time, if anyone doesn't tell me, Lord Lan can rest assured, but if the emperor asks me how to treat him, what do I say, can't the two of us say the same."

I thought about what Chen Jiu said is also right, if the emperor asks in the future, he should always find a reason, I thought about it and told Chen Jiu: "You just say that I can use my internal strength to take drugs for the emperor, and the water in the basin is the poison I sucked out for the emperor, this is the unique secret recipe that my master taught me, you see how you say this." ”

"Yes, when Lord Lan asks the emperor about it, we have to say it consistently, so as not to be doubted by others."

After the two of us discussed, I came to the main hall, now no one is sleeping, there is no result all night, everyone is waiting for the result, see me come out, even Xu Jie, who has his eyes closed, opened his eyes, Zhang Juzheng stood up directly, and asked me: "Lord Lan, how is the emperor." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor is no longer in trouble, he is still in a coma, which imperial doctor is needed to give the emperor acupuncture, so that the emperor can wake up, and I also need to prepare some gruel and other food for the emperor, the emperor has not eaten for so long, I am afraid that the body will not be able to bear it."

Zhang Juzheng said to the group of imperial doctors: "Which of you is good at acupuncture, come out and give acupuncture to the emperor." ”

As soon as Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, five or six imperial doctors shouted, "I'll go." I'll go, my acupuncture is good, my best, Master Zhang let me go. ”
