Chapter 431: Secret Envoy
Gong Cai Jing sat respectfully in the armor, "the head is sparse and a few are bundled up" two corners, garlic nose, thin lips and wide mouth, at a glance you know that he is a person who can speak, a blue and white robe, a black robe, and a pair of cloth shoes with a crescent moon on his feet, the edges of the shoes are clean and free of any mud. Du Wenhao stepped into the door with his left foot, Cai Jing had already heard the footsteps, and instantly changed into a flattering smile and bowed forward: "Humble Cai Jing see Du Zaizhi!" β
Du Wenhao nodded, walked to the main seat and sat down, motioned for the other party to sit down, and after the maid served tea and retreated, Cai Jing bowed and said: "I came here yesterday, and it happened that Lord Du entered the palace, so I never saw it, and I finally saw it today, which is really fortunate." β
Du Wenhao smiled lightly, didn't you kid come to me to see a doctor, why are you not in a hurry to see me now? Said slowly: "I heard that Lord Cai came to see a doctor from this official?" β
Cai Jing hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I don't dare to be lowly, it's really" The lowly concubine saw that she was about to give birth, but she suddenly felt unwell, and she found a lot of people to see who thought it was getting heavier, and the lowly duty was only "The lowly duty knew that the adult was busy with official business, and he shouldn't have bothered the adult, but the cheap concubine" woo woo.
Speaking of sadness, Cai Jing actually whimpered and cried.
Du Wenhao looked at Cai Jing coldly, as if he was in love, he secretly felt funny, but his face did not show it, and sighed: "Since this is the case, then don't sit still, let's go?" β
Cai Jing probably didn't expect Du Wenhao to be so refreshing, and he didn't react for a while, but when he saw that Du Wenhao had already walked out of the hall, he was surprised and happy to follow him.
Du Wenhao instructed the captain of the guard, Xu Huaqiang, to prepare his horse. Soon the horses were ready, and Xu Huaqiang said, "General, who else are you going to take with you?" β
Du Wenhao thought about it, since it is better to take a woman with her, Pang Yuqin's medical skills are the best, Xue Zhen'er has never been serious half-heartedly, Ke Yao studied medicine very hard, his brain is lively, he dares to learn and ask, and he is not afraid of being embarrassed, and his memory is also very good, so she can be trained with it, but what happened last night made him a little weak-hearted, think about it or forget it, you can't think about it, you shouldn't think about it, people have to live contently. Then he said, "Let the lady follow me and leave." β
Cai Jing should be the Yin of Tianfu Mansion, which is equivalent to the current mayor of Beijing, and he has been sitting here at a young age. In terms of location, it can be seen that his ability is quite good, but into Cai Jing's mansion, now he is actually a person who is not too public, the mansion and other houses in the capital and his official official mansion are the same size, and it will not look more flamboyant and magnificent, everywhere also shows the elegance of the master's design of this house, the cloister, the pavilion bridge, the arch are just some common places, but carved with all kinds of flowers, birds, fish and insects, the carving is also very fine, there are not many flowers and plants in the courtyard, but they are some precious varieties, It seems that the owner is a tasteful person. Cai Jing carefully led Du Wenhao and Pang Yuqin all the way into an arch in the middle of the inner courtyard, and entered the arch, it turned out that there were four small courtyards, each of which was uneven in size, and walked to the front of a small courtyard in the east, Cai Jing stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and said in a low voice: "Du Zaizhi, Mrs. Du please."
I saw two maidservants standing at the gate of the small courtyard, bent down and saluted, and then hurriedly ran to a room and opened the door curtain and said loudly: "Seventh lady, the master is back." β
When I entered the room, I saw a cigarette smoke in the room, and a woman was faintly seen lying on the soft couch under the bed behind the light gauze curtain, and heard someone coming in. Only then did the maid sit up with careful support, and the two maidservants lifted the light gauze veil. Du Wenhao saw a young woman of the same age as Ke Yao, with a high bulge in her lower abdomen, and it seemed that she should be ** months pregnant.
Cai Jing made an introduction and knew that this woman was Cai Jing's concubine, named Lin Xin. She raised her upper body and wanted to get out of bed to salute, but was held down by Pang Yuqin: "If you are inconvenient, sit down." β
Lin Xin raised his head slightly, only to see a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth standing in front of him, and there was another one standing beside him. The beautiful woman, who was shy for a while, lowered her head and sat carefully on the soft couch.
Pang Yuqin took out the pulse pillow from the medicine box and put it on a few cases next to the soft couch, the maidservant brought a stool, Du Wenhao sat down, Lin Xin put his hand on the pulse pillow, but he didn't dare to look up.
At this time, two women entered, dressed in blue and yellow, with hairpins and bells ringing on their heads. The woman in the green shirt was a little surprised to see Du Wenhao and his wife, and she didn't know what she said in the ear of the woman in the yellow shirt, the two snickered, and the woman in the blue shirt stepped forward with a chuckle: "Master, I heard that Lord Du is invited?" β
Cai Jing hurriedly introduced: "Yes, don't wait to come over to see the ceremony, Du Zaizhi, these two are the fourth concubine room and the sixth concubine room
The two ladies walked up to Pang Yuqin and bowed one by one, Pang Yuqin got up and returned the salute, but Du Wenhao only nodded slightly.
Cai Jing motioned for the two to find a place to sit down and not to disturb Du Wenhao's medical treatment, and the two sat down next to Cai Jing.
Du Wenhao asked Lin Xin, "Seventh Lady, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Lin Xin leaned on the cushion of the soft couch tiredly, and said softly, "It's been a long time. Somehow, out of Gong is always not smooth, always feel that the lower abdomen is distended and painful and has a sense of Gong, but always can not be smooth, and then feel that the back is pressing, please ask other doctors to see, after taking the medicine, not only do not feel relaxed but serious, the mouth is tasteless at first, and then the mouth is bitter, and then ask the palace doctor to see, thinking that it is the internal fire caused by stagnation, but, the concubine is pregnant, the doctor does not dare to take the medicine, only prescribed a prescription for the summer, but after eating, there is still no effect.
I invited other imperial doctors, but no one dared to give guidance to the six great doctors under the sea, saying that this certificate can only be cured by Du, so the lord took the liberty to ask Lord Zai to you. β
It's no wonder that Cai Jing is the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, a high-ranking official from the third grade, and he can be regarded as the number one person in the imperial court, and a group of doctors in the Tai Hospital are all scheming and calculating, and they are all steady, as long as there is no accident, it is a big deal to say that he has no ability, and he will not cause trouble, facing a pregnant woman of ** month, and he is the concubine of Lord Yin, although he knows that the syndrome differentiation is correct, he should use laxative medicine, but if he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of what happens. If you can't get a miscarriage, it's going to poke a big basket, so you have to retreat. also came up with the idea of letting Du Wenhao come for diagnosis and treatment, this idea is very good, firstly, Du Wenhao's medical skills are excellent, and secondly, Du Wenhao, as a deacon, even if the medicine makes Mrs. Fu Yin miscarry, Cai Jing Fu Yin does not dare to do anything.
After Du Wenhao knew about the joints, he smiled slightly, turned his head and glanced at Cai Jing: "Mrs. Zun's illness is indeed stagnant. Jingyun: There is no death. If you move, you will give birth, otherwise if you stay in office, not only will Mrs. Zun suffer, but I am afraid that it will also damage the fetus in the womb. It's just that there is a certain risk of defecation at this time, and I am not completely sure. β
Cai Jing hurriedly bowed his hand, and said with a bitter face: "Lord Zaizhi is just using medicine." β
"Hehe, Lord Cai doesn't have to worry too much, as long as you pay attention to the medication, it should be fine.
Du Wenhao opened a stagnation reduction qi pill and gave it to Cai Jing. Cai Jing hurriedly ordered people to find a prescription to grab medicine. Then let the two ladies beckon Pang Yuqin to the boudoir to talk and drink tea, and he led Du Wenhao to the main hall to serve tea and talk.
After the two sat down, Cai Jing arched his hand and said, "Congratulations on your ascension!" β
"Hey, what's there to congratulate. The official has been promoted, and there are many things. I'm tired. β
"That's right, the so-called capable people work harder, hehe,"
Du Wenhao said: "Mrs. Zun's disease is not difficult to treat, let alone me, even if my apprentice doesn't take money." It's also a piece of cake, the doctor of the hospital is too cautious, in fact, adults can just find a Lang Zhong in the capital, and they can cure this disease, that is, a "gall." Words, whether it is to see a doctor or to do things. If you don't have the guts, you can't do anything. β
"Yes, yes, my lord couldn't be more right. Hey, hey,"
Du Wenhao listened to him and smiled faintly: "Since Mrs. Zun's illness is not practical and labor, my lord came to the clinic, but the adult insisted on pleading, and gave me such a heavy gift, presumably, the adult is a drunkard and is not in the bar?" β
Cai Jing slapped his thigh and praised: "Lord Zai Zhi is really smart, and he is thinking about how to speak, but let the adult see it first, hehe." β
Du Wenhao laughed secretly in his heart, just your sneaky appearance, damn, a fool can't see it! smiled and said, "Master Cai has something to say." β
"Well, that's the case, if you tell others about this, you must say that you are despicable and seek personal gain. But the conscience of heaven and earth, the humble position is bent on thinking about the court, and everything he does is also for this
"Naturally, if you have something to say, I know that you are loyal and patriotic. Hey. β
Cai Jing hurriedly stood up and arched to the ground: "Thank you Zaizhi!" With the words of Zaizhi, the lowly position will also have the courage, just like what Lord Fang Cai Zaizhi said. If you want to do something, you have to be bold. "I think you're bold enough, hehe, if you have something, just say it."
"Yes, yes!" Cai Jing rubbed his hands. Sitting back in his chair, he thought about it, and then said slowly: "My Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia fought one after another, winning and losing each other, and the soldiers and civilians on both sides suffered huge losses, so I have been thinking that if the two sides can turn the conflict into a jade silk, it will be beneficial to everyone, especially for the people, and they can live and work in peace and contentment." β
Du Wenhao chuckled in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this future traitor would tell him about this matter, I don't know what kind of calculation he has in his stomach, and he will listen to it. At the moment, he slowly picked up the teacup, blew it gently, and took a sip of it to his mouth. Although he doesn't like to drink tea, he still smells the faint aroma of tea. It soaks deep into the bottom of my heart, and it is very pleasant.
Cai Jing observed Du Wenhao's face as he spoke, and then cautiously continued: "When I was thinking about this, it was a coincidence, I didn't expect that Xixia was also worried about this matter, the last time Yongle City was fighting, although our army lost 200,000 people, they didn't take much advantage. Our plague and thin weapons caused a pandemic in Western Xia, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians killed and wounded, but later we were fortunate to get the general's disinfectant potion and gas mask, which slowly brought the epidemic under control. Their national situation is already very poor, and after this catastrophe, their vitality is even more damaged, and they are really unable to fight, so they have been looking for an opportunity to negotiate peace with us,"
Du Wenhao sneered: "Really? Don't Lord Cai know that a few days ago, they also sent troops to attack and harass our Huanqing Jingluo Division, killing thousands of our border people. It doesn't look like it's going to be a peace talk! β
"Yes, yes, that's what I reprimanded them."
"Oh? It turns out that the adults have already come into contact with the Tangut people? I can't imagine that adults still have such secret contacts with enemy countries, hehe"
Cai Jing was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and bowed his hands: "Lord Zaizhi, don't dare to fornicate with the enemy country. It's also a coincidence, a lowly relative, named Cai Tou. His ancestors were all running business in the border near the Western Xia, and before the war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, he had been a teenager on both sides of the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, and even the royal family of the Western Xia often bought this strange game from him to get some people from the Western Xia royal family. A few days ago, Cai Tou brought two people to the cold house, and only after saying that he realized that he was ordered by Emperor Huizong of Western Xia to negotiate peace. β
"Joke! Since you want to negotiate peace, Zheng'er Bajing sent an envoy to come and leave, why do you secretly send someone to entrust your relative's relationship? Isn't it something unsightly? β
Cai Jing laughed dryly twice and said: "Lord Zai Zhi doesn't know, Emperor Xia Huizong and Empress Dowager Liang have always been at odds, although Emperor Huizong has long been in power, Empress Dowager Liang has always held the military and political power in her hands and refused to return to the emperor. Emperor Huizong's heart was to the Great Song Dynasty, and he issued an order to cancel the rites and use the Han rites instead, but he was obstructed by the Empress Dowager Liang, and Emperor Huizong wanted to sacrifice Henan. Returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and sent the general Li Qing to prepare to negotiate with our dynasty, the Empress Dowager Liang learned, staged a coup d'Γ©tat, killed Li Qing, and imprisoned Emperor Huizong, although he was reinstated, but has not returned the real power. Sending troops to harass my border was also the idea of the Empress Dowager Liang, and Emperor Huizong was really helpless, and wanted to unite with me to eradicate the Empress Dowager Liang and return to the Great Song Dynasty, so he secretly sent envoys to negotiate peace through secret channels, and did not dare to let the Empress Dowager Liang know
Du Wenhao knew very little about the history of Western Xia, and after hearing Cai Jing say this, he understood that the emperor of Western Xia was a puppet, and the real power was in the hands of the Queen Mother. But he is the emperor after all, and there should still be a group of supporters, if he can take advantage of this contradiction between the two sides, kill the Empress Dowager Liang, and re-incorporate Western Xia into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, it is the best strategy to surrender without a fight!
However, these words came out of Cai Jing's mouth, this guy will be a big traitor in the future, what he said may not be credible, Du Wenhao squinted at Cai Jing: "What about the envoy?" β
"I live in the cold house, do you want him to come out and see him?"
Du Wenhao thought about it, since Cai Jing is not afraid of seeing the envoy by himself, then what he just said should be true, this matter is very important, you have to think about it carefully, he is now the ruler, his identity is extraordinary, and he can't easily express his position, so he shook his head and said: "Don't see him first, so let's take care of the envoys, pay special attention to secrecy, and wait for me to return to the Empress Dowager Zhuo first." It will be decided after consulting with all the rulers
"Yes, yes". Cai Jing listened to it and hurriedly agreed. After thinking about it, he said in a low voice: "Du Zaizhi, there is still a word for his humble position, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"Well, let's talk about it."
"As far as I know, Emperor Xia Huizong was going to contact my Great Song Dynasty to return to the matter, and later the matter was revealed, because someone in my court stabbed this matter to the Empress Dowager Liang, so this matter must be extremely careful, not too many people know"
Du Wenhao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you to report the news?" β
"I don't know about the lowly position, but this matter was very hidden at that time, and there were only a handful of people who could know about it, but I didn't know who it was, and the lowly position didn't dare to guess. The first emperor sent someone to investigate, but there was no result. β
Du Wenhao thought to himself, he could know such a high-level secret. Except for Zai Zhi, I am afraid that there is no one else, and I still want to discuss with Zai Zhi just now, thanks to this Cai Jing reminded, otherwise, once this matter is revealed, I am afraid that there will be no fun.
He couldn't help but glance at Cai Jing again, and secretly wondered to himself, this kid can become a traitor in 20 years, and he is in charge of the power of the court alone, but he also relies on his whiskers to shoot horses, judging from this matter, he still has a lot of brains and some real skills. I was going to find an opportunity to kill him, but now it seems that it is not possible, and I have to use him to contact Xixia and solve the Xixia problem.
Du Wenhao nodded and said, "Well, the official knows, you can also think about it, how to do this well!" If you can get this done, hehe, you're doing a good job! β
Cai Jing was overjoyed, got up and saluted deeply: "Don't dare, everything still depends on Du Zaizhi, without Du Zaizhi's wise decision-making, such a major event cannot be done."
"Hehe, let's not talk about merit for now, and then talk about it when it's done, and you won't be able to benefit from it."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your support!"
After Du Wenhao learned the news, he naturally couldn't sit still, got up and said goodbye, called Pang Yuqin, and the two left Cai Jing's mansion by car, thinking all the way back to Wuweitang's house.
Du Wenhao entered the courtyard and saw Xue Lei'er and Li'er talking under the porch, and the two maids were cleaning in Ke Yao's room, and the little tiger cub Ke'er was lying meekly at the door, since the little tiger cub was here, presumably Yingzi should also be inside, so he stopped. Ke'er just waved his tail slightly, but did not get up, and his eyes were closed, probably because of the smell of Du Wenhao.
Sure enough, Yingzi walked out with a bottle of withered flowers, and when she saw Du Wenhao, she hurriedly bent over to give a salute.
"What about Ke Yao? Is it out? Du Wenhao probed Ran and said. Yingzi smiled and handed the blue and white porcelain thin-necked vase in her hand to the maid on the side, and said, "Miss Ke Yao has been busy learning kung fu with the fourth lady these days, I see that she is very emotional. Young master, you got drunk yesterday, and you got up early today, and you seem to have lost some weight recently, how long can you rest when you are busy? . ,If you want to know what happened next,Please log in...,More chapters,Support the author,Support genuine reading!
