Chapter 306: The Emperor's Emergency
"How?" Qu Ping asked, this is the most important thing, say a hundred, or look at the final result.
Xia Guan immediately fried a pair of rhubarb peony soup plus or minus, and then applied the method of acupuncture. The emperor's illness is still short, and I hope to control the disease! ”
Without further ado, the head of the Tai Hospital immediately wrote a prescription and asked people to decoct the medicine first. Then, he took out a pair of needles from the medicine box and began to administer needles to the emperor from hand to toe.
Qu Ping was also anxious, if the emperor had three longs and two shorts, he would be the culprit and could not escape the blame.
After the first person in the hospital administered acupuncture, the emperor's abdominal pain was slightly relieved.
Qu Ping pinched a handful of sweat and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, are you better?" ”
Zhao Gou nodded, still holding his stomach.
The news that the emperor had an intestinal carbuncle soon reached the ears of the queen mother, the queen, and the concubines. Everyone took the Empress Dowager Wei as the leader, and then came to the emperor's bed, each worried and sad, and they all expressed their condolences to the emperor one by one.
The head of the Imperial Hospital once again told the Queen Mother, the Empress and the concubines about the emperor's condition.
The emperor was in pain, waved his hand, signaled them to be quieter, and said, "Don't be impatient." ”
Empress Dowager Wei turned to the servants who served the emperor and scolded, "How did you serve the emperor? If the emperor has a good one, none of you want to live. ”
The attendants knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Weichen is guilty of death, but I ask the emperor for peace!" ”
The attendants all knelt down, but Qu Ping stood and suddenly became the most eye-catching person.
The queen mother, queen, and concubines looked at Qu Ping, all with wide eyes and open mouths, looking at Qu Ping in disbelief.
Empress Dowager Wei said: "Xiang...... Why are you here? Why is this dressed? ”
Qu Ping asked the Queen Mother, the Queen and all the mothers: "Minister Qu Ping, I have seen the Queen Mother, the Queen, and all the mothers. The minister came in a hurry, so he never changed his clothes, and the abruptness was not strange. ”
Tana stood behind the queen, looking at Qu Ping, with a mixture of joy and resentment, some joy in her heart, but her eyes were full of resentment. Tana said in her heart, "It's good to be alive!" ”
Empress Wu said, "When did the adults come?" ”
Qu Ping replied: "Last night." ”
"So, the emperor was with you last night, and he also had a barbecue with you?" The queen asked.
"Yes."
Empress Dowager Wei said angrily: "Ridiculous! How can the emperor eat barbecue indiscriminately, if he doesn't do it, it's not clean! It's good now. Lord Qu, you are also an important minister of the country, why are you so careless and brainless? If the emperor has an accident, you can't afford to lose the lives of your whole family! ”
Qu Ping bowed his head and said, "Yes, the minister was confused for a while. The emperor will definitely get better. ”
"Humph! In vain, you were foolish for a lifetime, but ruined a lifetime! What identity are you standing here now? You are no longer King Xiang, did you sneak into the palace? Empress Dowager Wei saw Zhao Gou's painful appearance, and her mother's nature of protecting calves had already made her so angry that everyone was an enemy, and she shouted, "Xuan Li Gang and the six Shangshu have entered the palace!" ”
The waiter got the order, agreed, and hurriedly went out to spread the queen mother's decree, and then took it here, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not be burned by the fire.
Empress Wu persuaded Empress Dowager Wei: "Queen Mother, if Lord Qu can stay here, it must be recognized by the emperor." The most important thing at the moment is to make the emperor better. ”
At this time, it is estimated that the effect of acupuncture has passed, and Zhao Gou is in severe pain again. Concubine Xing was close to the emperor and hurriedly asked about the emperor's situation.
"Pain...... Pain...... I won't...... I'm going to die......" Zhao Gou curled up on the bed, his limbs and lips trembling from pain, sweat on his body and forehead, his lips and nails were purple, and later, even the strength to shout weakened.
Empress Dowager Wei didn't care about Qu Ping's sin anymore, and beckoned to the head of the hospital: "Quick!" Let's see, why is the emperor in severe pain again! ”
There is no need to say hello, the head of the hospital has already gone up to see the emperor as soon as possible. He touched the emperor's abdomen, pulse, and forehead, and said, "The emperor's abdomen is straight, and his lips and nails are blue, which is a sign of aggravated pain......"
Mother and son connected hearts, looking at Zhao Gou's painful appearance, Empress Dowager Wei's nervous hands trembled, and ordered: "This palace doesn't want you to analyze, just look at the results!" You must find a way to heal the emperor, you must do everything you can! ”
Empress Wu helped Empress Dowager Wei's arm and instructed the other chamberlains: "The head of the hospital is too busy to come, and then go to the Tai Hospital to invite more doctors to come, hurry!" ”
Empress Wu didn't speak loudly, but she was kind and kind, and when people heard it, they had a feeling that they wanted to work for her.
The chamberlain got the queen's edict, and felt that he went to the hospital to announce that the imperial doctor had entered the palace.
Qu Ping shouted to the chamberlain from behind, "Please do more surgery...... Sores doctor! ”
Empress Dowager Wei glared at Qu Ping, no longer said anything to Qu Ping, sat on the edge of the bed, held one of Zhao Gou's hands, and said, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, the queen mother and the queen are here, and we will accompany you!" ”
Zhao Gou waved his hand weakly: "Queen Mother...... It's not ...... The matter of King Xiang. Don't ......"
The Queen Mother whispered: "Your Majesty, don't speak." ”
The chamberlain brought the freshly boiled Chinese medicine soup, the queen mother helped the emperor to pill his head higher, and Queen Wu personally blew it cold spoonful by spoonful and fed it to Zhao Gou to drink, while saying: "After drinking the medicine, the emperor will be fine." ”
Qu Ping and Tana glanced at each other inadvertently, and the two of them looked embarrassed, then turned their heads and looked at Zhao Gou on the bed.
The emperor drank the medicine, but his stomach still hurt.
The head of the hospital said: "It will take some time for the drug to work. ”
Not long after, Li Gang and the six Shangshu hurriedly entered the emperor's bedroom.
When the seven people saw Qu Ping, they were like ghosts, and they couldn't believe that Qu Ping was standing alive in the emperor's bedroom!
The seven of them didn't have time to talk to Qu Ping, so they went to visit the emperor first.
"How is the emperor?" Li Gang asked in a low voice.
Empress Wu was afraid that the Queen Mother would be angry again, so she preemptively said: "I just drank the medicine, and then observe." The doctor said it was an intestinal carbuncle. ”
Qin Hui said: "Okay, why did you get an intestinal carbuncle?" Did you eat something unclean? ”
Empress Dowager Wei and Qin Hui are very familiar in the Jin Kingdom, and the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager Wei are often taken care of by Qin Hui, which is why when Emperor Zhao Ji returned to the court, he named Qin Hui to bring him. Good Chinese
Empress Dowager Wei said: "It is true that I ate something unclean, and Lord Qu Ping actually let the emperor eat barbecue at night!" ”
The seven people who just arrived were all stunned, this is too daring to think and dare to do!
Li Gang asked Qu Ping: "Are you okay?" ”
Qu Ping shook his head and thought, "My stomach is very cheap, where can I compare to the emperor's delicateness." ”
"You ate with the emperor?" Qin Hui asked.
Qu Ping didn't want to answer Qin Hui, but there were so many people here, it was impossible not to answer, so he said, "Yes." ”
Qin Hui said: "Our stomach, where is it more expensive than the emperor's gold!" Lord Qu, Lord Qu, you are knowingly committing a crime and indirectly harming the emperor! ”
Empress Wu shouted: "Lord Qin, it's not your turn to convict anyone here!" ”
Qin Hui lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
Empress Dowager Wei said: "Qin Hui is the secretary of the Criminal Department, in charge of the national punishment, why can't he be convicted?" According to the opinion of the palace, Lord Qu should be temporarily handed over to the criminal department for custody, and find out how he entered the palace like this, and whether he did anything in the emperor's food! ”
Qin Hui was overjoyed and said, "Obey the Empress Dowager's decree!" ”
Zhao Gou's head was still clear, he raised a hand vigorously, wanting to stop the Queen Mother's edict, and as soon as he said the word "no", he fainted due to the urgency.
"Your Majesty!"
When everyone saw this, they were frightened and kept shouting for the emperor. If there is an accident in the emperor, the court will be in chaos, and the world will be in chaos!
The doctors who came later, including Tang Shenwei, heard the shouts outside the hall, and their hearts were terrible, so they hurriedly ran in, and cooperated with the head of the hospital, everyone was on their hands and feet, acupuncture of acupuncture, and acupuncture of acupoints, but the emperor just didn't wake up.
Taking advantage of this gap, the Queen Mother vented her resentment and anger on Qu Ping, and ordered: "Don't take him down quickly!" ”
"Yes!" Qin Hui beckoned a few chamberlains to go up and arrest Qu Ping.
Qu Ping didn't resist either, and then the chamberlain grabbed his hands, glanced at Li Gang, Tang Shenwei and a few other Shangshu, and let the chamberlain push himself out of the door.
Out of the door, Qu Ping said: "Okay, the prison of the Criminal Department, I know the way, I can walk by myself!" ”
The chamberlain was afraid of Qu Ping's prestige, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, followed Qu Ping, and walked towards the criminal department.
After a while, Zhao Gou woke up, but he woke up in pain.
The doctors have made a clear diagnosis, but it is only under the needle and medicine, but there is no major improvement. It's not the way to go on like this.
Zhao Gou woke up for a while, fainted for a while, and so on, tossed until midnight, and still did not get better. The medicine was changed a few times, but none of them worked.
Empress Dowager Wei scolded: "Useless things, what are you going to eat!?" I also took four or five pairs of medicine, and the emperor was pierced by you, why is it not effective at all!? ”
Seeing that the emperor's pain was not reduced at all, but his expression gradually weakened, the queen and the concubines cried urgently. The prince is young, if the emperor leaves, what will he do?
Li Gang and the six Shangshu were all by the emperor's side, and they didn't dare to leave, in case the emperor felt that the mandate of heaven was coming, and he wanted to announce any posthumous summons, and the people around the emperor would be entrusted to the orphaned ministers.
Tang Shenwei asked the Queen Mother for instructions: "Queen Mother, why don't you go and ask Lord Qu, maybe you can find some clues before and after the barbecue with the emperor?" ”
There is no other way to do this.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said weakly: "Go." ”
Qin Hui watched Tang Shenwei leave, and said in his heart: "Will Qu Ping stay in the prison honestly?" It's a pity that he can't leave, otherwise he will definitely seize the opportunity and take him into an army! ”
But he said that Qu Ping went to the Criminal Department by himself, and he was so frightened that the officials of the Criminal Department trembled, this is a person or a ghost, why did he appear in broad daylight?
The inner chamberlain said: "The Empress Dowager decreed that Lord Qu Ping be temporarily detained in the prison of the Criminal Department. After saying that, he hurried away and handed over this hot potato to the criminal department.
Zeng Biao walked out tremblingly and asked Qu Ping: "My lord, seriously?" ”
Qu Ping said: "Of course, let's go." I'm afraid I won't be able to get into the prison of the Criminal Department. ”
The officials of the Criminal Department were stunned, Qu Ping was so open-minded, could it be that the prison of the Criminal Department was a vegetable market?
Zeng Biao gritted his teeth: "I'll take you there!" ”
"Are you walking?"
"Let's get in the car." Zeng Biao said, otherwise it would be too ostentatious.
The carriage went straight from the Punishment Department to the prison. Qu Ping and Zeng Biao sat in the carriage and asked, "What do you call your lord?" ”
"Zeng...... Zeng Biao. ”
"You're afraid of me?"
"I didn't ...... No. ”
"There's nothing to talk about. Lord Qin is not here, can't you do anything? Qu Ping reprimanded.
Zeng Biao said in his heart What is this called, it is clear that the other party is a suspect who is going to prison, why do he still reprimand himself, but he still doesn't dare to refute. Lord Qin, come back quickly, the students can't stop him!
Finally arrived at the prison of the Criminal Department, Zeng Biao explained the situation to the cell boss, asked him to arrange Qu Ping, said goodbye to Qu Ping, and went back to work first.
"Okay, don't send it!" Qu Ping looked at Zeng Biao who walked away in broken steps, and said in his heart, this Zeng Biao's name seems to have heard a little.
Zeng Biao couldn't explain clearly to the cell head, and he hadn't seen Qu Ping before, but the name was like thunder.
The cell boss cautiously asked Qu Ping: "My lord, how should the lower officials arrange for you?" ”
