Chapter 8 Entering the Palace for Consultation

A morning sun erupted, piercing through the dense shade of the trees, casting a long dark shadow on the wide blue brick ground outside the Lanling Palace. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 infoLast night's illness tortured Emperor Wei to sleep, and the pain became more and more serious, making Emperor Wei have a kind of vanity that soared through the clouds. Early in the morning, Emperor Wei leaned weakly on the soft pillow, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were visible.

Xu Jiang knelt under the shadow of the lamp and said softly: "Your Majesty, Princess Zhaoyang handed over the fold early in the morning, and asked to enter the palace, I wonder if Your Majesty can summon me?" ”

"Zhaoyang enters the palace, just report it. In the future, as long as she is willing to come to see me, there is no need to stop her. Emperor Wei gritted his teeth, forced his spirits, and said to Xu Jiang: "You immediately send someone to Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion to take the princess into the palace to see me, and you don't need to use the deacon's honor guard of the princess's mansion." ”

Xu Jiang understood that some time ago, he sent someone to Ganzhou to contact Guiguyang, but he was closed. Later, the people of the Secret Spy Division discovered that Guigu Yang had secretly entered Yanjing. Xu Jiang knew that except for Princess Zhaoyang in Yanjing City, there was no way for anyone else to invite this great god. The emperor's secret summoning of Princess Zhaoyang into the palace has explained that the emperor handed over the important task of opening the Guigu Gate to Princess Zhaoyang, and it seems that the emperor's trust in himself is also limited.

"The old slave will do it, may I ask Your Majesty, do you want to summon the princess into the palace aloneβ€”"

"Let the princess arrange it herself, I am the only one who is still intimate. You go quickly, and by the way, call General Wei Chi in. ”

When Yu Chixiong's tower-like figure came in, Emperor Wei thought for a moment, for the current situation, what he could still control was this imperial forbidden army. The crown prince and King Ding were already eyeing the dragon chair behind him, and Emperor Wei couldn't let it have half a flaw in this last line of defense.

"General Wei Chi, I think of one thing: the forbidden army is the key to the lifeblood of the imperial city, whether it is the crown prince or the king of Ding, he must have installed his cronies in the army, and besides, King Ding has been promoting the Yulin army, and his henchmen are everywhere, can the general have a way to deal with it?"

Wei Chixiong knelt on one leg and clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has also thought of this, in the forbidden army, the generals and ministers above the cavalry captain have begun to be replaced, but the appointment and dismissal of the generals above the deputy general must be made by His Majesty's will." ”

"There are three lieutenants in the forbidden army, and if there is a need for a change, the general can report it in time. The safety of Kyoto is in the hands of the general alone, so don't be careless! ”

"Obey the order!"

After Wei Chixiong retreated, Emperor Wei pretended to sleep on the bed for a long time. Thinking that he gave the Tiger Talisman to Concubine Lan and asked her to secretly transfer Wei Huchen's Tiger Wei Army to the land of Gyeonggi. As long as the Huwei Army can appear in Yanjing unexpectedly, Great Wei will still be firmly in his hands.

"Your Majesty, Princess Zhaoyang has arrived." A palace maid came in to report.

"Let them in."

I saw Princess Zhaoyang leading a crane-haired and childish Jianghu Langzhong, with a medicine box behind him, this person was dressed in white and had the appearance of an immortal. Emperor Wei's eyes lit up, and he struggled to sit up.

"Brother Huang!" Princess Zhaoyang hurriedly stepped forward, supported Emperor Wei, and said angrily: "Brother Huang, don't move, this gentleman is a retired master, and he has a lot of insights into some incurable diseases." Zhaoyang wants him to check the pulse of the imperial brother, but I don't know what the imperial brother thinks? ”

"Heyβ€”forget it. I have seen a lot of famous doctors in this world, but no one can see the reason. Since the destiny of heaven is like this, I have no hope. Emperor Wei's words were actually a little light.

"This Mr. Yang is an extraordinary person, since the courtier's sister has already brought him here, the imperial brother will give him a chance, right?"

Emperor Wei looked at the old man kneeling on the ground, and when he saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, he was a little moved, "Then there is Mr. Lao, I have been sick since ,...... infection."

"The grass people are guilty! Let the grass people take the pulse for His Majesty. The old man interrupted Emperor Wei's words, stepped forward and knelt down in front of the couch, "The doctor looks and hears and asks, he must first find the source of the disease before he can prescribe the right medicine, Your Majesty will not say anything for the time being, how about the old man try to find the root of the disease first?" ”

Emperor Wei didn't think it was wrong, and a palace maid stepped forward to raise her left hand for Emperor Wei. The old man closed his eyes and checked his pulse for a long time, and then changed his right hand, and after a long time, he saw the old man frowning, and the people around him trembled.

The old man stood up, stroked his beard and nodded, but said nothing.

"Mr. Yang, what do you think of Your Majesty's illness, don't be like this?" Princess Zhaoyang couldn't hold her breath and finally spoke to ask.

"Imperial sister, don't you understand this very well, it seems that Mr. Yang is also helpless?" Emperor Wei had not reported much hope for a long time, so he was not surprised.

"Your Majesty's illness was first a fear of light and water, and then a lot of dreams and sweating at night, and then bone pain. In the beginning, seizures occur every few days, but over time, they become more frequent. Your Majesty, is that so? The old man didn't care about Emperor Wei's ridicule, but said slowly.

"Since I was infected, I have seen countless doctors, but only what Mr. Yang said is reliable. Yes, I suffer from this every night these days, if it weren't for the general manager Xu who massages me every day and acupuncture, how can I persist to this day? May I ask Mr. Yang, since you can trace the source of this disease, what kind of disease did I have, and does Mr. Yang have a way to solve the misfortune? ”

The old man muttered: "The grass people only have a little experience, just like the scenery near the mountain, it is still difficult to get a complete picture. Your Majesty still needs to go back to think about it, if you can find a way to solve the misfortune, then the grass people are very lucky, Your Majesty is very lucky! ”

Emperor Wei saw that the old man was not a fool, and a hint of hope rose on his face, and he instructed Xu Jiang: "This matter has Mr. Lao, Xu Jiang, you take Mr. to the side hall to rest temporarily, be sure to be hospitable." I still have a few words to say to the imperial sister, so you all go down. ”

Seeing everyone retreat, Emperor Wei ordered Princess Zhaoyang to sit next to his soft couch and smiled, "Who is this old Mr. Yang, the imperial sister doesn't have to hide it." ”

Princess Zhaoyang frowned and said: "Brother Huang, this Mr. Yang is just a reclusive doctor, and his sister finally asked someone to ask him to go out of the mountain, he is unknown in the world, so why should Brother Huang ask him?" ”

"Well, Mr. Yang, it's really good! I'm afraid this Mr. Yang is from Ganzhou, right? ”

"It seems that nothing can escape the eyes of the imperial brother, the imperial brother is really far-reaching, yes, he is Guiguyang." Princess Zhaoyang smiled brightly, "The courtier thinks that after he changes his appearance, the imperial brother will not recognize him." ”

Emperor Wei said: "Of course I can't recognize him, but although his physical appearance has changed greatly, it is theoretically inferred that this person must be related to Guiguyang." And I know that Guigu Yang is well versed in medical science, and the combination of the two compartments is not too difficult. ”

"The courtier's sister has summoned him to Beijing, how does the imperial brother plan to use his Guigu Gate?"

"In recent years, the strength of the secret spy department has been greatly reduced, and the control over the courtiers and bureaucrats has become weaker. And there are a lot of things, and there are many inconveniences for the secret spy department to take action. In particular, Jiangmen has risen in recent years, and I must change this situation before I die. ”

Princess Zhaoyang said: "The Duke of Yasukuni is now raising troops to the west to rescue Loulan, he is not in the court, so he can only cut off his wings first." What does the imperial brother mean that this matter cannot be taken by the imperial court, and any rash move will make him alert? ”

Emperor Wei said: "I naturally understand the weight of a general with a heavy army, so I asked Guigumen to do this." And in the process of implementation, the secret spy department must not be involved in the slightest, so as not to give people authority. ”

Princess Zhaoyang thought so, if Shu Pengju found out that the court had the intention of getting rid of him, it would be strange if he didn't turn against it. The Western Army is entrenched in the four counties of Xiliang, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers under its command, and is the largest military town in Great Wei. Moreover, Shu Pengju and King Ding must also have their own eyes and ears, paying attention to every move of the court all the time, if there is any negligence, the Great Wei will definitely collapse.

"The courtier sister thought that the root of the whole incident was the root of the imperial brother's illness. As long as the imperial brother can get better, the army and the ministers will have the backbone. Whether it is King Ding, Shu Pengju, or the prince's party, they all have to die down. Since Guigu Yang has some experience with the imperial brother's illness, it is better to wait for the courtier's sister to take the school examination with him carefully, and then come to treat the imperial brother. Princess Zhaoyang became a little sad for a while, "It's just that our royal family is getting weaker and weaker, looking at the court, whether it is a military town or the six central departments, how many of them are our royal people?" The courtiers didn't dare to say much about the imperial brother's political affairs, but the imperial brother's previous layout of the imperial power was really debatable. ”

Emperor Wei bowed his head and said silently for a long time: "The layout of the court is the art of the emperor, I am in the prime of life, and I am not worried about the foreign ministers abusing power." Now that the matter has come to this, the royal sister can revive the country for my royal family, and it will not live up to my sincere concern over the years. ”

The brother and sister were planning, and someone from the palace came in to report that Concubine Xi was waiting outside the palace.
