In the power struggle between Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing against the upstarts Wang Hao and Li Yan, Li Yanqing is just a small chess piece, and he is not qualified to squeeze into the position of a chess player, which he is self-aware.

But Li Yanqing also knows that whether it is Liang Shicheng or Cai Jing, they are all old politicians who eat people and do not spit out bones, and they want to rely on them to make a fortune, unless they are willing to be obedient chess pieces for a lifetime, otherwise they will be swallowed by them without hesitation if they overstep the slightest.

The only person who really wants to train him to become the mainstay of the Great Song Dynasty is the upright person who is loyal to his duties and the country, but unfortunately the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is getting darker and darker, and there is no place for the Dao of the Great Song Dynasty.

He Li Yanqing either sank in the dark, or learned to protect himself in the dark, when everyone abandoned the crown prince Zhao Huan, lest he be implicated, Li Yanqing knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the icing on the cake was many, but there were no people who sent charcoal in the snow, this time he was going to be a person who sent charcoal in the snow.

The official name of Zhao Taicheng sounds very bullish, but in fact he is just a nine-rank sesame official, the Taiyi Bureau, but being able to be a nine-rank medical officer is the best among the imperial doctors, and he has extremely powerful medical skills.

Zhao Taicheng's name is Zhao Keats, about 50 years old, his grandfather and father are both in the palace as a doctor, he himself has helped his father carry the medicine box since he was more than ten years old, practiced medicine in the palace for 40 years, and inherited his father's official position at the age of 43.

Decades of medical practice and conscientious professional ethics made him famous not only in the imperial palace, but also in the capital, and people called him Zhao Shenyi or Zhao Taicheng.

Zhao Taicheng's mansion is in the East Street of Yujie, which is a very prosperous prime location, this mansion covering an area of about five acres is his grandfather in a cure of the Empress Dowager Gao's serious illness after the reward, his house door hanging plaque 'Zhao Taicheng Mansion' is also the emperor of the Emperor Shenzong's imperial pen inscription.

At the beginning of night, Li Yanqing came to Zhao Taicheng's mansion, Zhao Keats had two sons, the eldest son inherited his career, and followed him into the palace to practice medicine since he was a child, and he was already an imperial doctor.

The second son is self-employed, Zhao Keats specially built a one-acre medical hall for the younger son on the left side of the gate of the mansion, hanging Zhao Taicheng's sign to treat the people of the capital, usually rest and leisure, he and his eldest son will also sit here to practice medicine.

But now Zhao Keats is fifty-five years old, and he doesn't go out to the doctor much, except for the powerful and noble, he will personally go to the doctor, and other ordinary people want to see him, so they can only come to the hospital to seek medical treatment, and he only sees two kinds of diseases, one is the disease that even his son can't see well, and the second is that the other party is willing to pay fifty taels for consultation, and he can also go directly to him for medical treatment.

Li Yanqing did not enter the mansion door abruptly, but came to the medical hall, and a little medicine boy stood at the door and said to Li Yanqing: "I'm sorry, the medical hall is closed, unless it is an emergency, it is generally not accepted." ”

"I'm looking for Zhao Taicheng, is he there?"

The medicine boy glanced at him suspiciously, "My old lady doctor is here, but he usually doesn't go to the clinic, not to mention now, if you see an emergency, I can go to Doctor Ma, the consultation fee is the same as during the day, three hundred yuan, if the official must find the hall owner, now at this time it will cost two taels of silver." ”

Li Yanqing took out an ingot of ten taels of gold, "This is ten taels of gold, I want to find Zhao Taicheng!" ”

"Alright! Judges, please come in and sit down. ”

The other party took out ten taels of gold, equivalent to one hundred taels of silver, and the medicine boy did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly invited Li Yanqing into the inner hall of the medical hall, and asked another child to serve tea to Li Yanqing, and he himself ran into the inner hall to report.

Li Yanqing sat in the inner hall drinking tea, while looking at the inner hall, the inner hall layout is very simple, in the middle is a table of eight immortals, there are four chairs around, the place where he sits is the host and guest seat, next to it is a small table, the ground is paved with wooden boards, it looks ordinary, but a plaque above the head makes Li Yanqing see the famous hall, there are four big characters on the plaque in Phnom Penh, 'hanging pot to help the world', Li Yanqing recognized at a glance, it is the thin gold body of Zhao Ji, the son of heaven.

At this time, there was a gentle cough outside the lobby, and I saw an old man walking in with his hands in his hands, he was wearing a flat scarf and a half-worn deep coat, it was the famous doctor Zhao Keats, he was extremely well maintained, although he was fifty-five years old, but there was not a trace of wrinkles on his face.

"Your Excellency isn't here to see a doctor?" Zhao Keats walked into the inner hall and said with a faint smile.

The famous doctor pays attention to looking, hearing and asking, he glanced at Li Yanqing's complexion, and knew that Li Yan had no symptoms, and he took ten taels of gold to seek medical treatment, which obviously had other hidden intentions.

Li Yanqing stood up and saluted, "Under Li Yanqing!" ”

Zhao Keats suddenly suddenly, "It turned out to be Li Yushi, disrespectful, please take a seat!" ”

The two sat down separately, and Zhao Kici smiled and said, "Does Li Yushi need my help in handling the case?" ”

"I want to ask Mrs. Zhao to send a letter for me."

"Deliver a letter?"

Zhao Keats laughed, "I have been an imperial doctor for forty years, and it is the first time that someone has asked me to send a letter, I wonder who Li Yushi wants to send a letter to?" ”

Li Yanqing took out half of the jade pei from his arms and put it on the table, Zhao Keats saw the jade pei, his face suddenly changed greatly, he hurriedly waved his hand, drove the two children at the door out, and said to Li Yanqing: "Please come to the consultation room to talk!" ”

There is also a small room in the inner hall, which is the consultation room where Zhao Kice sees a doctor, there are no windows around, it is very quiet, there is a bed next to it, and there is a small table in the middle.

The two sat down at the table, Zhao Keats took out a boxy piece of white satin from his arms, opened it, and there was also half a piece of jade in it, he put the jade pei and Li Yanqing's half of the jade together, and it was indeed a complete piece of jade.

Zhao Jici nodded and asked in a low voice, "I don't know if Li Yushi has any urgent matters to tell the prince?" ”

Although the Zheng family was deposed, after all, there are three holes in the cunning rabbit, and in addition to a channel on Liang Shicheng's side, the prince Zhao Huan also has an extremely secret external contact channel, that is, the imperial physician Zhao Keats.

Li Yanqing took out a letter, put it on the table and pushed it to Zhao Keats, "Please forward this letter to the prince!" ”

Zhao Kici groaned and said: "Although I don't search my body when I enter the East Palace, there is a eunuch next to me when I see a doctor, and I can't take out the letter. ”

Li Yanqing nodded in agreement, "That's fine!" ”

Zhao Keats immediately went back to get the pen and ink white silk, Li Yanqing picked up the pen and rewrote a letter on the white silk finely, and when it was dry, it was kneaded into a small ball and stuffed into a wax pill, and re-sealed with wax, it was a big pill.

"Is Zhao Taicheng going to the East Palace in the next two days?"

"Tomorrow is my duty, it just so happens that the crown princess is pregnant, I will go to see her early tomorrow morning, and this letter can be sent."

Li Yanqing hurriedly got up and saluted, "Thank you Zhao Taicheng for your help!" ”

Zhao Keats got up and smiled, "Li Yushi doesn't have any big problems, only Yintang's yang qi is slightly insufficient, and if you rein in the sexual affairs a little, your body will naturally recover." ”

Li Yanqing had to smile bitterly, he did have a little more sex with Sisi, and he was actually seen by this Zhao Keats's sharp eye.

.........

The pregnancy of the crown princess Zhu is a big event, and since Zhu gave birth to the first prince four years ago, everyone is looking forward to the birth of the second prince.

In order to hold his second grandson, Zhao Ji, the Son of Heaven, was even more careful, he did not hesitate to send eight experienced midwives to take care of the crown princess, and even ordered three imperial doctors to stay in the East Palace to care about any discomfort in the princess's body.

As soon as dawn, Zhao Keats came to the East Palace, he was the authority among the imperial doctors, and the three imperial doctors sitting in the East Palace were all his subordinates, as the first person of the imperial doctors, he was also very concerned about the situation of the crown princess.

"How is the situation of the crown princess these days?" Zhao Keats asked the three imperial doctors.

"It seems that the pulse has been a little anxious in the past two days, maybe it is because I didn't sleep well at night?"

"Possibly?"

Zhao Keats's eyes widened, "She is a four-month-old pregnant woman, the fetus is at the most critical moment, and the pulse is likely to be unwell in the womb, how can you be careless?" ”

The three imperial doctors lowered their heads in fright, not daring to say anything, and Zhao Keats asked again: "Has the crown princess risen?" ”

"It's already up, and she gets up early every day."

"What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"I'm up too, and I should be walking with the princess in the garden."

"Alright! I'll take a pulse check on the princess. ”

A eunuch had already run to inform the crown princess, and not long after, the prince Zhao Huan accompanied the concubine Zhu to return to the Anning Palace, and the palace maid set up the curtain, Zhao Keats checked the pulse of the princess on the other side of the curtain, and he felt that the pulse had calmed down, so he asked: "May I ask how the mother slept last night?" ”

"I slept soundly last night, better than the previous two days."

It seems that it is indeed because of the pulse rush caused by poor sleep, he said slowly: "Niangniang try to keep a calm mind, the surroundings should be quiet, it is not suitable to read at night, and do not fall asleep too early, just fall asleep on time." ”

At this time, the crown prince Zhao Huan asked on the side: "How is the situation of the crown princess?" ”

"It's not a big problem, it's that I didn't sleep well two days ago and caused anxiety, I prescribed five doses of soothing soup, decoction water an hour before going to bed, and drank it for five days in a row, and the situation of bad sleep should be gone."

Speaking of this, he turned his back to the two eunuchs and gave the crown prince Zhao Huan a look, Zhao Huan was stunned in his heart, then understood, and said with a smile: "My sleep is not very good, can I drink this kind of soothing soup?" ”

"This is specially prepared by me for Niangniang, suitable for pregnant women, Your Highness doesn't sleep well, you can eat ginseng Yangrong pills, I happen to have a pill here, Your Highness can try it at night."

After speaking, he took out a wax-sealed pill from the medicine box and handed it to Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan took the pill and said with a smile: "Okay!" I'll try it tonight, and I'll tell Zhao Taicheng if it works. ”

Zhao Keats left the decoction and retired, Zhao Huan asked the palace maid to serve the princess to rest, he went back to the study by himself, after closing the door, Zhao Huan crushed the wax pill and took out a white silk from it, to his surprise, it turned out to be a letter written by Li Yanqing to him.

Zhao Huan was in good spirits, sat down and read the letter carefully, the letter wrote about the struggle of the court in the past two months, Zhao Huan was very shocked, he didn't know anything about the affairs of the court, but he couldn't have imagined that Liang Shicheng actually formed an alliance with Cai Jing.

Li Yanqing also mentioned in the letter that the trial of the three divisions was about to begin, and he clearly told Zhao Huan that this was the first major case in which he Li Yanqing gained a firm foothold in the Yushitai, and if he could withstand Wang Hao's pressure and successfully conclude the case, then Wang Hao would never think of interfering in the Yushitai trial in the future.

At the end of the letter, Li Yanqing mentioned a detail, the imperial court has reached a maritime alliance with the Jin Dynasty, and the imperial court is making every effort to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

Zhao Huan read the letter twice, then put the white silk into the incense burner and burned it, he was very cautious now, and he didn't dare to keep any letters.

In fact, Zhao Huan doesn't trust Liang Shicheng very much, he knows that Liang Shicheng is too scheming, don't look at him now that he is protecting himself, but if he really shows signs of being abolished, then the person who fell into the well must be Liang Shicheng.

Especially after the secret letter incident, Liang Shicheng never contacted him again, obviously deliberately keeping a distance, and in the matter of the Zheng family being suppressed, Liang Shicheng also played an extremely disgraceful role, Zheng Rongtai's cheating case was reported by Liang Shicheng, and he also suggested that Concubine Zheng be sent to the Taoist temple to become a monk, which made Zhao Huan feel cold.

But it was Li Yanqing who sent support when he was at his weakest, which made Zhao Huan feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and made him experience a kind of warmth in the snow. 21010
