Volume 2 Shendu is as deep as the sea Chapter 129 The insomniac Dugu Queen
Although the Great Sui had implemented the system of three provinces and six ministries, Yang Jian's daily review of the number of recitals was still very large, and he would usually be busy until the end of the morning, and he would start to review the recitals on time at three o'clock in the morning.
At this time, he read it for an hour in one breath, and then felt a little tired, seeing that there were not many folds on the table, only a dozen thin copies left, he flipped through it casually, and there was no urgency, so he got up and prepared to go to see Queen Dugu.
Dugu Jialuo's condition has not been improving, recently he suddenly couldn't sleep, and he didn't rest well, resulting in his body not getting as good as day by day, and he couldn't last much time, as the time to lose Dugu Jialuo gradually approached, the sadness in Yang Jian's heart was getting worse day by day.
Thinking about his old wife's condition, Yang Jian sighed and ordered, "Prepare to drive to the Shenju Palace." ”
At this time, an old eunuch hurriedly walked over, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Qin An, the king is here to see!" He said that he had something important to report to His Majesty. ”
"Oh! King's Landing is here again. Yang Jian only wanted to see Dugu Jialuo at this time, and wanted Wang Junlin to wait outside, but suddenly remembered that last night, a foreign marquis official reported that Wang Junlin's medical skills were very good, so he ordered: "Announce his audience!" ”
On the square of the main hall, or the eunuch named Baishi took Wang Junlin to the Xuanzheng Hall quickly last time, because he received a jade pendant last time, Baishi talked a lot along the way, in addition to talking about some rules and taboos in the palace, he looked left and right, and after seeing that there was no one nearby, he whispered to Wang Junlin: "Lord Hou, the queen is seriously ill and dying in the past few days, so Your Majesty is not in a good mood, under normal circumstances, this would have been to go to the Shenju Palace to see the queen, but now because you came, it has been changed to meet Lord Hou, Therefore, if what Hou Ye said cannot satisfy His Majesty, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be happy, and when the time comes, Hou Ye will look at His Majesty's face, it is best not to take too long and finish the matter as soon as possible. ”
"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, remember it below." Wang Junlin said with a grateful face, and at the same time, an agate was stuffed into Bai Shi's hand without a trace, and the smile on the latter's face became brighter and brighter.
They walked into the Xuanzheng side hall and came to the imperial study, Baishi's task was completed, and he turned to leave, and an old eunuch guarding the door went in to report, and a voice came from inside after a while: "Xuanqin Anhou Wang Jun is coming to see you." ”
Wang Junlin hurriedly tidied up his official uniform and walked into the imperial study quickly, Yang Jian did not review the folds at this time, but closed his eyes and recuperated, waiting for Wang Junlin to arrive.
"Your Majesty's day is full of opportunities, the ministers and kings are coming to disturb Your Majesty, and you are terrified, please forgive Your Majesty!" With the eunuch named Baishi just now, Wang Junlin saluted respectfully as soon as he entered the door and said loudly.
Yang Jian slowly opened his eyes and said lightly: "You know that I am very busy, say it!" Why did you come to see me today? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister accidentally learned that there is an iron shop that has sold a large amount of pig iron to the northern nomads over the years, and the minister knows the importance of this matter, so he has come to report to His Majesty."
When Yang Jian heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly: "You dare to sell pig iron to the northern savages, what a big boldness!" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister can guarantee that this matter is indeed there, but there is still a lack of evidence, and the minister is worried about His Majesty, so he is anxious to report to His Majesty, and at the same time, I implore Your Majesty to hand over this matter to the minister to be responsible for investigation."
Yang Jian suddenly thought of something, looked at Wang Junlin and muttered for a moment, his anger slowly subsided, but his expression became even colder, and said, "There is a minister involved behind this iron shop?" ”
Wang Junlin seemed to have expected Yang Jian's question, and immediately said with a solemn expression: "Back to Your Majesty, this is ...... Quite possibly. ”
Yang Jian took a deep look at Wang Junlin and said, "Wang Junlin, it's good that you can report this matter to me in time." I will send a team of Hou officials to cooperate with you to investigate this matter, I want to know two things, one is who is behind the scenes? Second, we must get evidence of selling pig iron to other races. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Jian paused for a moment, and then said: "The identity of the Hou official is kept secret, and he appears as your servant guard. ”
Wang Junlin was overjoyed in his heart, Yang Jian's arrangement was exactly what he wanted, and he immediately said categorically: "The minister Wang Junlin will obey His Majesty's will. ”
Yang Jian nodded, this matter is over, Wang Junlin was about to retire when Yang Jian suddenly flashed sadness on his face, looked at Wang Junlin and said: "I heard that you are not only skilled in poison, but also skilled in medicine. The queen was already seriously ill, and in the past few days, for some reason, she has been restless, it is difficult to sleep, and her body has not been able to rest, which has aggravated her condition. ”
Wang Junlin complained in his heart, what kind of medical skills he knew, but he only knew some advanced medical theories and studied poisons. But he knew that because the matter of treating the wounded barracks and opening the Wang Hospital in Gaotai City last year had already spread, if he denied it at this time, Yang Jian not only wouldn't believe it, but didn't like it, so he groaned a little and said cautiously: "The minister only knows a little about medical skills." ”
Yang Jian obviously thought that Wang Junlin was modest, nodded to him, and then arranged for the left and right attendants: "Swing and go to the Shenju Palace." ”
After speaking, he had already taken the lead in walking outside the imperial study, and a large group of people such as the eunuchs on the left and right, the guards at the door, etc., had already followed, Wang Junlin had to take two quick steps, and walked towards the Shenju Palace with the old eunuch behind Yang Jian.
It didn't take long for a group of people to come to the Shenju Palace, and Wang Junlin, who was far away, saw Yang Lihua, the princess of Leping, walking out of the Shenju Palace, with a sad face and red eyes, as if she had just cried. Wang Junlin has long known that Dugu Jialuo is domineering, whether it is to the former crown prince Yang Yong or the current prince Yang Guang, he has always been harsh, especially to Yang Yong every time, and he is furious.
It can be said that Empress Dugu played a key role in the decision to abolish the eldest son, the crown prince Yang Yongli, and the second son Yang Guang, the king of Jin. Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo had great expectations for their eldest son, the crown prince Yang Yong. However, Yang Yong has always acted recklessly and informally, which conflicts with Dugu Jialuo's consistent and solemn style. Yang Yong likes to be vocal again, and there is no concubine in the East Palace, especially the unkind treatment of the crown princess, which caused Queen Dugu to be strongly dissatisfied. Yang Yong's series of behaviors seriously violated Queen Dugu's political concept of attaching importance to the eldest child, attaching importance to the marriage relationship between the family lords, and ensuring the stable transition of patriarchal power, and the subsequent violent death of the crown princess completely caused a rift between mother and son.
But Yang Lihua is the only exception, Dugu Jialuo did her best to pamper her, and Yang Lihua also had a deep affection for her mother, and now that Dugu Jialuo's condition has worsened, she is naturally very sad.
The two sides met in the square in front of the Shenju Palace, Yang Lihua and Yang Jian's father and daughter met each other with red eyes in a serious manner, Yang Jian saw that his daughter had just cried, so he sighed and comforted a few words, and after finishing, he inadvertently glanced at Wang Junlin behind him, which made the latter's heart beat violently.
And Yang Lihua faced Wang Jun's temporary look and demeanor without any abnormality, at this time she gave a deep salute to Wang Junlin and said: "The queen mother has not recovered for a long time, and now she is becoming more and more emaciated, bewitched by ghosts, she can't sleep at night, she has heard for a long time that Qin Anhou has great powers, has seen and heard, and has excellent medical skills, I hope that Qin Anhou can cure the queen mother's illness, at least let the queen mother have a way to sleep peacefully, even if it is one night." ”
Before, in the imperial study, he heard Yang Jian say that Dugu Jialuo couldn't sleep, he didn't pay attention to it at that time, and then listened to Yang Lihua's words, thinking of this woman's help and affection for him, Wang Junlin became serious, but he was not a god stick after all, and there were some things he couldn't do, so he could only talk about it after reading it.
"I will definitely do my best."
To be honest, Wang Junlin doesn't really want to care about this kind of thing, because it may involve royal secrets, and the less the secrets of the royal family know, the better, and there is no benefit in mixing in it, only disadvantages.
At this time, there was a faint sound in the Divine Residence Palace, Yang Jian frowned, and asked, "What is this going to be doing inside?" ”
Yang Lihua withdrew her gaze from Wang Junlin and said, "Master Zhiren said that the queen mother was caused by excessive thinking, and her weak mind led to the invasion of foreign demons, so the queen mother will let him do things. ”
While Yang Jian's father and daughter were talking, Wang Junlin already had some thoughts in his heart.
The simpler method is to mix out the hemp boiling powder and give it to Dugu Jialuo to use, and he will fall asleep immediately, ensuring that he will not even have dreams, but this is a symptom but not a cure. Moreover, Wang Junlin contacted Dugu Jialuo's life and killed people, especially the daughter of the harem who died in his hands, so he guessed that the culprit who caused Dugu Jialuo to be unable to sleep may be his own sin, if he didn't get rid of his inner demons, he would still commit it sooner or later.
After all, the queen's bedroom is different from other places, not to mention that Dugu Jialuo is so domineering, even if Yang Jian did not ask Dugu Jialuo's consent, it was not good to directly bring Wang Junlin, an adult man who had no close relationship with him, into it, so Yang Jian and Yang Lihua entered the Shenju Palace, and Wang Junlin waited at the door alone.
Taking advantage of this time, Wang Junlin took a closer look at the Shenju Palace and found that this Shenju Palace occupies a huge area, covering one-third of the width of the palace horizontally, and is all enclosed by tall walls. It is simply a palace within a palace, which can see the domineering of Dugu Jialuo.
When Wang Junlin received the notice and followed a eunuch into the Shenju Palace, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and a wind blew from the north, sweeping over the treetops, and a whimper was heard, hovering over the seemingly empty Shenju Palace.
It may be that the god stick that is being done inside says that there are unclean things such as ghosts and external demons, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the Shenju Palace are all trotting with their legs between their legs, and their eyes are full of panic that cannot be concealed.
Wang Junlin stood at the gate, witnessing this scene, his face was stunned, thinking that this is a scene for a horror movie.
