After that, Zuo Shaoyang ripped off the masked clothes of the man in black. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the queen saw it, she was taken aback: "Situ Mei?!" ”

The queen recognized this person as Situ Mei, the leader of the prince's personal guards, and was the prince's confidant.

Situ Mei said mournfully: "Niangniang spares her life." ”

The queen woke up from a drowsy and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" Say! ”

"The prince ordered the villain to capture the divine doctor and bring it back to the prince, and the other villains really don't know."

Empress Changsun naturally knew the prince's intention of sending his henchmen to arrest the divine doctor back at this time, her face was pale, and she stayed on the spot, not knowing what to do for a while.

Zuo Shaoyang stood there with his hands behind his back, and didn't speak, waiting, he knew that with the talent of Empress Changsun, he would make the right choice soon.

Sure enough, Empress Eldest Sun was stunned for a moment and said, "Pass Grandpa Luo in!" ”

"Yes!" Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly ran to the door and called Luo's father-in-law in a low voice. When Gonggong Luo saw Situ Mei on the ground, he was also taken aback and looked at the queen.

The queen said: "The prince tried to disadvantage Doctor Zuo, so as to murder the saint. This is a felony of rebellion, you immediately go to the prince to see the palace, and then you lead the team to take down all the prince's entourage and guards, escort them back to Beijing, and listen to the saint to deal with it! ”

Gonggong Luo has also seen a big battle, and he had seen the cruelty of the Xuanwumen Incident back then, so he hurriedly received the order and rushed out.

Not long after, the prince limped in, at this moment, there were already two rows of waiters waiting in the hall, he entered the door and saw Situ Mei on the ground, and then looked at Zuo Shaoyang who was looking at him coldly, and the queen mother with a desolate face, he knew that things were not good, turned around and wanted to run, but the inner waiter had already stopped at the door.

Empress Eldest Sun said sadly: "Prince, are you worthy of your father's favor to you by doing this?" ”

The prince knew that everyone had stolen money, and in front of his shrewd mother, denying and lying could only lead to more severe punishments, so his knees weakened and he fell to the ground: "Mother, help!" ”

"You have committed such a serious crime, and the queen mother is also ...... I can't save your ......, so go back to Beijing by yourself and ask your father for the guilt!" ”

"The queen mother, the child was confused for a while, and begged the queen mother to intercede with his father, and the child was given a surname!"

Empress Changsun burst into tears and waved her hand, and the chamberlain stepped forward to arrest the prince, and at the same time escorted the assassin Situ Mei, who had been unjointed on the ground, out of the main hall.

Everyone is gone, and only the queen and Zuo Shaoyang are left in the house.

Empress Changsun got up and gave Zuo Shaoyang a blessing: "Doctor Zuo, this palace will make amends to you for the crown prince, I hope you will not be affected by this to treat the emperor." ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled faintly and returned the salute: "Niangniang's words are serious, the bridge returns to the bridge and the road returns, the prince's move has made me make a new decision, I will try my best to cure the emperor's illness." There is one condition, though! ”

This is really a joy from the sky, the eldest grandson queen shook her delicate body, hurriedly held on to the armrest of the soft couch, and looked at Zuo Shaoyang in surprise: "You said, no matter what the conditions are, I will promise you!" ”

"Please ask the emperor to replace the crown prince!"

The queen said sadly: "This palace understands the worries of the divine doctor, alas! The prince has committed the felony of rebellion, and it is uncertain whether he can save his surname, where can he be the prince again? Rest assured. ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "When the crown prince is changed, please don't make Li Zhi, the ninth prince, the crown prince, the crown prince." ”

The queen was stunned: "Why is this?" ”

Of course, Zuo Shaoyang's purpose is very clear, his daughter has been set to marry Li Zhi as his wife, he is worried that Wu Meiniang will deal with his daughter in the future, and he himself knows that he plays with power and is ruthless, he can't compare to Wu Meiniang, to prevent Wu Meiniang from murdering his daughter and family in the future, the best way is not to let Li Zhi be the emperor, if Li Zhi can't be the emperor, Wu Meiniang will not compete for the queen's position, and it is impossible to tilt the power of the government and the opposition, she has no power, just like a tiger has no teeth, it is much easier to deal with.

If this is really realized, it will change history, Zuo Shaoyang is not sure that it can be realized, because the first two efforts have no effect, history is still developing according to his original trajectory, this time, he still wants to try. It is a matter of daughter's life and the safety of her family, so she can only give it a go.

Zuo Shaoyang naturally couldn't tell Empress Changsun straightforwardly for this purpose, and of course the excuse was also high-sounding: "My daughter has decided to marry the Ninth Emperor Prince Li Zhi, and I don't want others to say that I am a fake public servant." So, please make another prince. ”

This request made Empress Changsun very difficult, and she and Li Shimin had three sons, namely the crown prince Li Chengqian, the fourth prince Li Tai, and the ninth prince Li Zhi. Li Tai has been stabbed to death by his grandfather Li Yuan, and now the eldest son Li Chengqian has committed the felony of rebellion again, the position of the prince cannot be kept, and it is difficult to say whether the surname can be saved, and now there is only the youngest son Li Zhi left, and Zuo Shaoyang asked not to make Li Zhi the prince, that is to say, his three sons will not be the next emperor. As a mother, of course, she was very disappointed.

However, Empress Changsun was a very decisive person, and after weighing the pros and cons, she immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I will play the emperor for this request." I believe that the Holy One will also carefully consider your opinion as a divine doctor. ”

"Good! One thing I want to emphasize is not to think that I am pretentious, I really don't want my son-in-law to become the crown prince. Please make this clear to the emperor. If there is no other reason, please respect my opinion. ”

The queen nodded slowly and waved her hand: "It's late at night, the divine doctor will rest early, and the palace will arrange guards to protect you and your family." Don't worry. ”

"Thank you, Niang!"

Zuo Shaoyang returned to his yard and saw that the house was brightly lit, the lanterns under the corridor were lit, and Qiao Qiaoer and the others were nervously standing under the corridor talking. Xiao Yunfei is also among them. When they saw Zuo Shaoyang coming in, they immediately greeted him.

Qiao Qiao'er was so anxious that her face changed: "Husband, where have you been?" ”

"Can't sleep, go out for a walk. What are you doing here? Zuo Shaoyang pretended to be relaxed.

"I heard the commotion over there, everyone, and then Princess Feiyang came, saying that the Ouchi guards had arrested a lot of guards, and I heard that it was the prince's people, and they were all locked up, and I woke up and didn't see you, so I was very anxious......"

"I'm fine," Zuo Shaoyang glanced at Xiao Yunfei and pretended to be stupid: "The guards catch the guards?" What's going on? ”

Xiao Yunfei said worriedly: "I don't know, I just heard that the prince has been placed under house arrest." All of his attendants were arrested. What causes is not clear. ”

"Dare to arrest the prince, I'm afraid that the prince's crime will not be light." Zuo Shaoyang deliberately frowned.

Miao Peilan said with palpitations: "Yes, we were still talking just now, fortunately, my lord, you had the foresight, and you didn't agree to marry Wen Zhi to the crown prince as a concubine during the day, otherwise, this would be troublesome." ”

All the women said yes one after another, with a look of admiration for Zuo Shaoyang in their eyes.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Now that we are also royal relatives, remember one thing, there are many taboos in royal affairs, don't ask and talk about it, don't know what you don't know." Let's just live by ourselves. ”

The women nodded together. Then they went back to their houses to rest.

Qiao Qiao'er saw that Zuo Shaoyang's expression was not like she couldn't sleep and go out for a walk, but seeing that his expression seemed to be much better than before, there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she was very happy in her heart, this is better for her, as long as the family is safe and happy, it is better than anything else.

As soon as they returned to the house, they heard a noise of people outside the yard, Qiao Qiao'er was very nervous, and grabbed Zuo Shaoyang's arm.

After a while, a leader of the inner guards came in under the leadership of the servants of the Zuo family, knelt down on one knee to Zuo Shaoyang, and reported that at the behest of the queen's mother, he led the team to protect the courtyard of the Zuo family, and asked the divine doctor and his family not to panic and rest in peace.

Zuo Shaoyang nodded, and ordered the servants to report to the various courtyards, so as not to panic.

The next day, Empress Changsun summoned all the concubines, princes, and princesses, and reported that the crown prince suddenly fell ill, and it was an infectious disease, so he had to live alone, and his entourage might also be infected and quarantined. Tell everyone not to visit, and don't talk nonsense.

Everyone in these people knew that the prince must have committed a crime and was under house arrest, and the so-called infectious disease was just an excuse, so they all bowed down and agreed.

The prince's crime, maybe the prince's position will not be guaranteed, who is likely to take over the prince's position, naturally has become the hottest topic of these princes, although the queen said that it is not allowed to talk nonsense, but a few brothers who are usually good get together and hide in the house to discuss, but it is impossible to prohibit it.

Emperor Li Shimin had a total of fourteen sons, and by the time he was seriously ill in the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, six of them had already died before him (two were given death for participating in the rebellion). And the sixth son Li Su and the seventh son Li Yun are both swingers who do evil and don't take the people seriously, Li Shimin hates it and often denounces it, these two have no hope of being princes at all. And although the thirteenth son Li Fu does not cause trouble, he is honest, but he is a person who does nothing, Li Shimin always sighs that he is useless, he also has self-knowledge, he never participates in these things, just hides in the house and is satisfied with being his prince.

Therefore, excluding the crown prince Li Chengqian himself, there are only four who hope to become the prince, namely the third son Li Ke, the eighth son Li Zhen, the ninth son Li Zhi, and the tenth son Li Shen. And among these four, the most promising are the third son Li Ke and the ninth son Li Zhi.

Li Ke is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he is deeply loved by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and often says that he is very similar to Li Shimin himself, among the masses and the people, Li Ke is also a deeply loved prince, with a high prestige. Li Shimin had intended to make him the crown prince, but was strongly opposed by the queen's elder brother, Sun Wuji, an important minister of the imperial court. So it didn't come to fruition.

Another strong opponent is naturally the later Emperor Gaozong, his ability is not as good as Li Ke, but his competitiveness is definitely not weaker than Li Ke, just because he is the queen's concubine and is deeply loved by the emperor.

So there were the most people in the two of them, but these two were very cautious and were not allowed to talk about the prince, everyone tacitly thought in their hearts, the prince's support was very big, and once they registered in the future, they would be the emperor's henchmen. Even if you don't do this, you can avoid being suspicious of the new emperor and suffering misfortune.

Of course, these people didn't know that Zuo Shaoyang asked the queen not to make Li Zhi the crown prince, and the queen didn't say anything about this to anyone, the stakes were very high, and she was a very measured person.

The princes here are muttering about the new prince, and the Zuo family is busy packing up their things. And so the day passed.

After packing up and stopping, on the third day, the brigade set off for Beijing.

When he went out of the city, Zuo Gui's father wore an official uniform and deliberately went out of the city on a horse, which attracted the envy of the people watching the excitement on the side of the road.

Under the escort of the Imperial Forest Army and Ouchi Guards, it was natural that the road was safe and sound. Because he was worried about the emperor's illness, he didn't stop along the way, and hurried all the way. On this day, I finally returned to the capital.

After entering the city, Empress Changsun asked him to follow him directly into the palace to visit the emperor. Zuo Shaoyang said goodbye to Empress Changsun and said that he would go home first to settle his family. Empress Changsun immediately understood that Zuo Shaoyang wanted to wait for the result of the emperor's treatment of the crown prince.

This is a matter of course, now that the prince wants to kill Zuo Shaoyang, Zuo Shaoyang is naturally most concerned about this matter. Empress Changsun gave him a few words of encouragement, and asked a team of Imperial Forest Army to escort the Zuo family back to the mansion and stationed in the courtyard to protect the Zuo family.

Fifteen years later, the Zuo family returned to the capital mansion.

This house is taken care of by the old shopkeeper Zhu, everything is very good, including the back of the pharmacy, there are medicine farmers have been planting and taking care of it. Because the medicinal materials planted behind Zuo Shaoyang's house were all new medicinal materials in later generations, no one in the Tang Dynasty knew the medicinal value, so they could not be sold, and the medicinal materials produced were concocted into finished medicines and placed in the warehouse every year according to the requirements. Fifteen years later, the warehouse is full of Chinese medicinal herbs.

Zuo Shaoyang is very satisfied with this, the house is very well lit and clean, and the Zuo family brought daily necessities with the car this time, and they can live when they are put on.

After Zuo Gui's father's "Guizhi Hall" was completed, he encountered Zuo Shaoyang's wrongdoing, so it has not been opened. Fifteen years have passed, the original new houses are already old, and Zuo Gui has become a high-ranking official of the third grade.

On the way, I was talking about it, and after I arrived, I would continue to open a pharmacy. The family went around and came to the lobby of the pharmacy and talked about it again.

According to the Liang family and Fennel, they have never seen a third-grade official open a pharmacy to treat people, and Zuo Gui, a third-grade official, has enough Fengtian and Yulu to support the whole family, plus dozens of servants, it is more than enough, and there is no need to work so hard to continue to open a pharmacy to treat people. That's why I closed the pharmacy.

Hearing what they said, Zuo Gui nodded again and again.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "The old lady is now an official, and he is a high-ranking official, so naturally he doesn't need to sit in the hall to see a doctor, but I'm nothing, I'm still a little langzhong, I don't see a doctor and have nothing to do, so well, let me run this pharmacy, which is also called the son inheriting the father's business." ”

Zuo Gui's father nodded again and again: "That's right, we can't take off the signboard of Guizhitang, and we have to continue to operate." Now that I am old and have received an official position by the emperor's grace, it is indeed not suitable for me to sit in the hall for consultation, so let Zhong'er pick the pillar of Guizhitang. A few children who are studying medicine can also hone their skills in the pharmacy. ”

The eldest son, Zuo Wenning, immediately answered: "Grandpa, can I not study medicine?" ”
