Chapter 3: Zhao Zhen is a concubine
At the end of August of Xinghua year, the hot temperature had not subsided, and Sun Tianfu returned to the capital with a group of students. Maybe they left early, or maybe they were lucky, and everyone but one of the weaker ones came back unharmed.
After receiving the report, Zhao Zhen summoned them impatiently.
Sun Tianfu held a wooden box, followed Xiao Shunzi and came to the vertical arch hall step by step, after meeting Zhao Zhen, he held the wooden box in both hands and sent it to Zhao Zhen: "Emperor Qiqi, this is what Teacher Wu Ren asked the student to transfer to you, which contains the 'Heavenly Sage Divine Medicine' and related test records found by the teacher, please take a look!" ”
"Heavenly Holy Elixir?" Zhao Zhen took the wooden box suspiciously: "What's the matter?" ”
Sun Tianfu: "Back to the emperor, this Heavenly Sage Elixir is the penicillin you once said, and the teacher only found it out of many molds some time ago, and did a lot of experiments on the wounded soldiers in Tubo, and all the data were recorded in the booklet inside the box." The teacher said, these data records are only this one and only this one, please keep them with your good life. Because we didn't know that the emperor had changed the name of the country at that time, the teacher took the name of the Heavenly Sage Elixir. ”
"Hmm" Zhao Zhen nodded: "I remember that you are Wu Ren's proud disciple!" Who have you been studying with and how long have you been studying with your teacher? ”
Sun Tianfu: "The emperor has won the award, and so far, the students have been studying with the teacher for almost ten years. ”
Zhao Zhen was surprised: "So long!" So you should be the first batch of students at the Royal Academy! ”
"The emperor is wise!" Sun Tianfu complimented: "The students are from poor families, thanks to the construction of the Royal Academy, the students can continue their studies, and then fortunately the teacher has been following the teacher to study." Although the teacher is of the same grade as the student, the student really respects him, and this time he was supposed to accompany the teacher, but the teacher said that it is not easy to find the miracle medicine, and it is of great benefit to my Da Song, so I must pass on this miracle medicine, and the student is ......."
As he spoke, he gradually buried his head down, Zhao Zhen saw all this in his eyes, and was glad that Wu Ren did not find a white-eyed wolf. He nodded slightly, and said to Sun Tianfu: "You don't have to blame yourself, I know Wu Ren, he must have his reasons for arranging this." I can tell you very responsibly, just with this magic medicine in your mouth, you can make your teacher famous for eternity, although I am also worried about his safety, but I can see that he is not afraid of illness and dares to challenge, I am very happy for him. As a healer, he has to deal with all kinds of diseases at any time, and if he has cowardice and fear in his heart, then he will never be able to become a real strong medical person. I hope that you can be like your teacher, a fearless person for the sake of the world! ”
Sun Tianfu knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you for the emperor's teachings!" Students must remember your teachings and be a good doctor. ”
Zhao Zhen: "Get up!" Take the research results of you and your teacher to the Royal Research Institute to continue research, strive for ideas to expand the production of this miracle drug as soon as possible, and continue to improve the use method and dosage. I will give you the position of associate researcher of the Royal Academy today, and I hope that you will continue to work hard and bravely reach new heights! ”
Sun Tianfu: "Thank you for Emperor Longen!" Your Majesty, the minister has another request, I hope you will grant it! ”
Zhao Zhen: "What's the matter?" ”
Sun Tianfu: "The minister hopes that before this, he can go to Tibet first and accompany the teacher to find out the medicine against smallpox." Now that the teacher is alone, the minister is really relieved, and the teacher also needs personal assistance. Please allow the emperor! ”
Zhao Zhen: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to Tubo to find him." You should first take your juniors and disciples to perfect the magic medicine, maybe I will use it soon. ”
"It turns out that the wave of people was really sent by the emperor to find a teacher! The emperor is really merciful! Sun Tianfu sighed in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
sent Sun Tianfu away, Zhao Zhen went to Zhang Rou's territory again, hugged his son, and scratched his little face with his immature beard. The little guy is very sturdy, and he can run around the house when he is more than a year old, but fortunately Chunlan helps manage it, otherwise he will not be at peace when he eats.
After Zhao Zhen teased him for a while, he put him on his lap and said to him with a smile: "Emperor, come and call your father to listen!" ”
"Whew! Whew! The little guy tried hard to learn Zhao Zhen's voice.
I don't know if Zhao Zhen's pronunciation is inaccurate, or the child's vocal cords are not fully developed. In short, Zhao Zhen felt as if his son was learning to bark as a dog, which was not a good phenomenon and made outsiders feel awkward. Fortunately, in addition to Zhang Rou at the scene, Xie Xinran and Chunlan, since Zhao Zhen was born, Xie Xinran has become his personal doctor again, and he has to come over to take a look almost every day. Zhao Zhen was afraid that she would spoil her son, and said that she would not use it several times, and people would still be rain or shine, so Zhao Zhen had no choice but to let it go.
Zhao Zhen saw several women (girls) snickering on the side, so he had to give up letting his son call himself, and instead asked him to call Zhang Rou: "Emperor, come, call the queen mother!" ”
"Moo" Zhao Zhenxiaowa is still very face-saving, as for whether he shouts like it or not, it's none of his business.
Zhao Zhen heard it, good guy, after learning the dog barking just now, this will change to the cow barking again.
Zhang Rou smiled: "Okay! Zhen'er is still young, so don't toss him. If the emperor has too much energy, the concubines will give you a few more concubines, what do you think of Xinran's sister? ”
Xie Xinran heard Zhang Rou make fun of herself, and hugged Zhao Zhen from Zhao Zhen's hand to block her red face.
Zhao Zhen said with a righteous face: "Queen, Xinran sister is still here!" You can't joke! ”
Zhang Rou: "Your Majesty, the concubines are not joking with you, but the Queen Mother and her old man have spoken, saying that the emperor's heirs are not prosperous, and I must find you a few concubines this year!" ”
For this problem, Zhao Zhen doesn't want to entangle with her, not to mention that he is not very used to it, even if he wants to find it, he can't be so straightforward, right!
So, Zhao Zhen hurriedly used a crooked building stunt: "Your Majesty, I'll talk about this later, and I'll tell you a big deal today." ”
Zhang Rou: "What's the matter?" ”
Zhao Zhen: "Does the queen remember that I told you before that Wu Ren went to Tubo to tinker with penicillin!" This time his students sent their results over, and after their experiments, it was confirmed that the xanopenicillin strain had been found. I have ordered them to continue to adjust in the hope that they can expand production. ”
"Really!?" Zhang Rou was a little surprised: "He is so violent, this thing has been tinkered with by him!" ”
Zhao Zhen: "That's right! I'm here to tell you the news today, I want you to find a place to build the pharmaceutical factory first, start preparing the production equipment that should be prepared, once they are adjusted, after the final experiment, they can be put into production, if we can catch up with our war with Liao, it would be great. ”
Zhang Rou nodded: "The concubine knows, let Huang Xing deal with this matter in two days, this person is not bad, and he can't keep going around in the charity foundation." ”
"You decide these little things yourself, I still have to leave in advance, you play slowly!" After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet.
Zhang Rou hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, the matter of the concubine is not finished yet!" Let's move on! ”
"Queen, you can do it yourself! I'm busy! Zhao Zhen threw away a word, and ran away without looking back.
Zhao Zhen thought that he could get through this trick again, but in order to make this trick, he didn't even have time to eat the food in his mouth. He didn't know that Zhang Rou would actually take it seriously.
It didn't take long for Zhao Zhen to receive a "big bad news" - three more daughters-in-law out of thin air.
When Zhao Zhen received Zhang Rou's report that he was ready to be the groom's brother, he was really stunned. In ancient times, he knew about arranged marriages, but he didn't expect that his emperor's marriage would dare to be arranged.
This is unbearable!
Zhao Zhen found Zhang Rou, who was busy preparing for the marriage, and arrested her in the dormitory and asked urgently: "Wife, when did I agree to find a concubine?" Why don't you even discuss it with me? ”
Zhang Rou smiled: "No! You are so forgetful! Have you forgotten what you said the other day that I was going to watch it? You are the emperor, you can't go back on your word! ”
Zhao Zhen: "Didn't I say it casually!" Can't you tell I'm perfunctory? ”
"I can't hear you!" Zhang Rou said not tactfully at all: "Since you have come, come and try the new clothes I prepared for you, this is what I personally made for you, you are beautiful!" ”
Zhao Zhen pursed his mouth: "Wife, you can't do this authentically!" ”
Zhang Rou "roughly" pulled him in front of him, and while trying on clothes for him, he said: "You can get cheap and sell well!" If this weren't for the Song Dynasty, you would dare to find the second wife, and see that I didn't clean up your third leg. ”
Zhao Zhen listened to his wife's words, unconsciously clamped his legs, and smiled very flatteringly: "Wife, since you don't want me to find a second wife, why are you still so active, don't you just fool the queen mother and her old man together!" ”
Zhang Rou glanced at him: "Do you think this is just the old lady's problem!" Even the gossip of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China is not afraid. But we have to be conscientious, you have to think about it for others! ”
Zhao Zhen: "What's the matter with them?" ”
Zhang Rou: "It's really blind to your big head!" You don't have to think about it with your little brain, who are Jinhua and Xinran? That's growing up with you, in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them are the people you have set inside, who dares to marry them, isn't that death! You said that you don't know how to care about them at all, they are all older leftover women in this era, but no one dares to come to the door to ask for marriage, what kind of situation is that! ”
"Okay!" Zhao Zhen was silent for a long time, and slowly spit out two words: "I think you have a certain amount of truth about Xinran and Jinhua, but what's going on with this Chunlan?" ”
Zhang Rou smiled: "You should buy two get one free!" ”
Zhao Zhen: "Do you want to buy two get one free?" What kind of rule is this? ”
Zhang Rou: "Oops! I'll just say that, in fact, this is the meaning of the queen mothers. I asked the Empress Dowager Yang, the queen's personal maid was supposed to be your little wife, so after I entered Beijing that year, they chose Chunlan to be my maid, understand? ”
"Sure enough, it's a clever plan!" Zhao Zhen smacked his mouth.
"It's really a good idea!" Zhang Rou also agreed: "You don't know yet! Chunlan's full name is Li Chunlan, and she is your biological mother's own family, and she is still your cousin. The reason why Empress Dowager Liu chose her can be regarded as an indirect compensation to Empress Dowager Li. ”
Zhao Zhen: "I'll go!" There are a lot of crooked intestines, and I really underestimated this deep palace compound, but I didn't expect that there were so many little secrets hidden in such a big place. Hey, no matter, let him go! ”
The emperor doesn't have so many things to do when he marries a concubine, and he doesn't have to make too much pomp, sometimes he just has to deal with the next holy decree or something. But in order to show respect for female compatriots, Zhao Zhen still let the Ministry of Rites do a lot of work.
A month later, according to the auspicious day of the zodiac selected by Qin Tiansi, Zhao Zhen and his gang took three little wives. According to the rules, Zhao Zhen doesn't need to bow to his little wife, he just needs to come out when he worships the church, and the other items are jumped up and down for him by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
In the year of Xinghua, the people of the Great Song Dynasty first suffered the baptism of drought, then the imperial court carried out a large-scale anti-Huang operation, then the Northern Expedition, and finally followed a more powerful smallpox, which can really be described as a wave after wave of bad things. If you want to talk about this good thing, it is estimated that only these bad things have not completely deteriorated is good news!
So, in the winter moon. The imperial court made a big deal, taking three concubines to the emperor in one go, and also sealing all three of them at one time to the rank of concubine second only to the queen. The descendant of the Yang family, Yang Jinhua, was canonized as Yang Guifei, Xie Xinran, the daughter of the imperial physician Xie Degui, was canonized as Concubine Xie Shu, and a maid who appeared out of nowhere was also canonized as Concubine Li Xian.
For the sudden event, the imperial court said that it was to rush into joy in this era of disaster.
As for this statement, whether the people believe it or not, anyway, the ministers of the court believe it! (To be continued.) )
