Chapter 81: Kurithime

Chao Buzhi only cured the eye disease of the Empress Dowager Dou, can he be promoted with this?

You must know that although the doctor is also one of the hundred schools of thought, its status is almost the same as that of the peasant family, so it is conceivable what kind of person Chao Buzhi will be regarded by the courtiers.

It's basically no different from those lucky villains, and this kind of person generally doesn't end well.

So Chao Cuo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's uncle only cured the Queen Mother, and he has no merit in the imperial court, how can he be promoted?" Therefore, the minister thought that this matter must not be done. ”

Tao Qing smiled when he heard this: "Doctor Chao, what do you mean by this?" Do you think that curing the Queen Mother's eyes is not a great achievement? Or do you think that the eyes of the Queen Mother are not as important as those court matters? ”

Emperor Jing's pure filial piety, this is a golden signboard, so this answer is taken for granted, so of course it is important for the Queen Mother, but that's not what I said.

Chao Cuo suddenly stopped silent, and began to think carefully.

But how could Tao Qing let go of this opportunity, so he continued: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Doctor Chao just cherishes his feathers too much, and he is afraid that the ministers will say that he is sheltering his uncle, so he doesn't dare to agree. ”

"But the court has its own laws, how can it be because Doctor Chao is afraid of his own criticism, and ignores the rules of the court, so the minister thinks that he should be overpromoted and rewarded."

Emperor Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and this prime minister Tao Qing was finally able to stand on his side and speak once, so he said: "The prime minister said this very kindly. ”

·········

In Chao's mansion, after Chao Buzhi and Zhao Shi talked for a while, they received a decree from the palace, and the queen mother invited him to go to the palace.

After Chao Buzhi got the news, he hurriedly asked Lao Lei to catch the car and set off for the palace.

About half an hour later, after layers of investigation, Chao Buzhi came to the Empress Dowager Dou's bedroom.

However, when he entered, he found that the atmosphere inside was a little wrong, and it was very depressing.

In addition to Queen Bo and Princess Guantao, who were sitting on the left and right of Empress Dowager Dou, on one side were Wang Huan, Princess Nangong and other concubines and princes in the palace, and on the other side were sitting Dou Ying's two women.

The two old ladies, one about sixty years old, with gray hair, and although their eyes were slightly closed, the occasional flash of fine light showed that this old lady was extraordinary.

The other woman was younger, about thirty or forty, with black hair and a neat face, not even a trace of wrinkles.

When he saw this person, Chao Bu thought in his heart, could it be that there were health experts in ancient times?

Of course, Chao Buzhi didn't know Dou Ying, but Dou Ying knew Chao Buzhi, so when he saw him come in, he took a good look at him.

The other one who was a little excited was Princess Nangong, because she saw Chao Buzhi again, this young man with extraordinary demeanor and bearing.

Princess Guantao, Queen Bo, and Wang Wan were also very curious about this person who cured the eyes of the Empress Dowager Dou, and their eyes were full of inquiry.

When Chao Buzhi was about to pay a salute, the Empress Dowager Dou hurriedly said: "Don't be polite in Chao Langzhong, sit down quickly, the old body still has a lot to say to you." ”

Although Empress Dowager Dou said so, Chao Buzhi did not dare to be careless, and after finishing the salute, he knelt and sat next to him according to the guidance of the attendant.

Just as Chao Buzhi sat down, four more people walked in from outside, it was Li Ji, Liu Rong, Liu De, and Liu Yanyu's mother and son.

As soon as the four of them entered, the atmosphere in the room became even more weird.

Wang Wan sat there quietly, looking like she was watching a good show, after all, everyone saw that Empress Dowager Dou was angry just now, and the old lady was not a good match.

The four of Li Ji were just about to say hello, but Empress Dowager Dou said slowly: "The old body doesn't dare to be your Li Ji's big gift, the old body is a blind mother-in-law who can't stand it!" ”

Sure enough, it is worthy of the Empress Dowager Dou, the old lady is straight, and she will say whatever she can't get used to, Li Ji's face turned red when she said this sentence, and she had no place to stand.

Her three sons also stood there in fear, especially Liu Rong was even more at a loss, and grabbed the corner of Li Ji's clothes tightly with one hand.

However, everyone in the room remained silent, and none of them stood up to speak for Li Ji, especially Wang Huan's eyes almost looked forward to Li Ji turning around angrily, and then Empress Dowager Dou scolded her and sent her into the cold palace, of course, Wang Wan knew that this was just a fantasy.

At this time, a burst of laughter came, "Queen Mother, the palace where Li Ji's sister-in-law lives is relatively remote, so it's a little late, Li Ji, don't hurry up and make amends to the Queen Mother." ”

Who else can speak at this time, except for Princess Guantao? The latter sentence is Princess Guantao said to Kurihime.

Li Ji suddenly realized, and hurriedly pulled her three sons to bow down and said: "Queen Mother, Li Ji lives in a remote area, so she came a little late, please forgive the Queen Mother." ”

Seeing that Empress Dowager Dou still had a gloomy face, Princess Guantao hurriedly smiled again: "Queen Mother, you can't let your grandson kneel all the time!" Don't you feel sorry for them? ”

To be honest, the old lady is really not distressed, she is distressed by her youngest son King Liang.

However, Princess Guantao said so, Li Ji made amends again, and the Empress Dowager Dou was not easy to hold onto, so she had to say lightly: "Get up!" ”

Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and glanced at Princess Guantao gratefully, while Wang Wan was a little unwilling.

Hearing these conversations, Chao Buzhi realized that this woman was the famous, short-sighted, and narrow-minded Li Ji!

The one next to him should be Emperor Jing's eldest son, Liu Rong, who is also very promising to become the prince, no wonder Princess Guantao will help her.

The reason why Chao Buzhi thinks so is that Li Ji is not very smart.

You must know that in order to maintain Emperor Jing's dependence on her and ensure her glory and wealth, Princess Guantao often presents beauties to Emperor Jing.

And when Liu Rong became the crown prince, he was already eighteen years old and had no wife, Princess Guantao proposed to marry her daughter to the crown prince Liu Rong as the crown princess.

In the eyes of Princess Guantao, as her eldest princess, this family affair will definitely be successful.

Unexpectedly, a jealous woman will not consider the consequences, remembering that Guantao has offered a beauty to Emperor Jing several times, Li Ji simply rejected Guantao's proposal, which made Guantao lose face.

Annoyed, he decided to look for someone else.

The fourteenth son of Emperor Jing, the eldest son Liu Rong, the second son Liu De, and the third son Liu Yanyu were all born to Li Ji.

Liu Yu is good at governing the palace and the palace is confined to dogs and horses, stuttering; Liu Fei is talented but arrogant; Liu Duan is a thief, and he can't get close to women; Liu Pengzu is humble and humble; Liu Sheng indulged in lust; Liu's mother is weak, and both mother and son are not favored; Next, it is smart and clever since childhood, and both mother and son are deeply loved by Emperor Jing - the tenth son of Emperor Jing, the son of Wang Huan, and the four-year-old Jiaodong King Liu Che.

Wang Wan and Liu Concubine set two family affairs for their children, one is Liu Che and Liu Concubine's daughter Chen Ajiao (one of the protagonists of Jinwu Zangjiao), and the other is Liu Concubine's second son Chen Chan and Wang Huan's third daughter Princess Longxi.

These two family affairs show the two mothers' clear political intentions. Under the joint operation of Wang Wan and Liu Rong, the future of Li Ji and Liu Rong was decided.
