Chapter 764: Calling (2)
Cheng Wang, who knew nothing, was the most surprised one.
Before he stepped foot on the door of the Cheng Mansion, Zhu Qijue, the concubine, came to deliver the message of the Son of Heaven and summoned him to the palace for an audience. Cheng Wang didn't even have time to be stunned, so he took a carriage into the palace.
He sat in the side hall of the Baohe Hall for most of the hour, waiting for the Son of Heaven to summon him, and kept muttering in his heart.
He has excellent medical skills, is a well-known Great Chu miracle doctor, and has made many contributions in the border army. However, in the final analysis, it is a six-grade medical officer. In the capital, he is an inconspicuous low-level official.
Emperor Xuanping, who had just ascended the throne for more than half a year, how could he suddenly summon him to meet him?
Could it be that the Son of Heaven is ill and wants him to see a doctor?
Cheng Wang thought about it, but he couldn't think of the reason, so he simply didn't want to think about it. Under the guidance of Gonggong Ding, Cheng Wang entered the inner hall.
The young man wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair is Emperor Xuanping.
Strangely, there is also a landscape screen in the hall. The screen was wide and thick, and it could hold three or four people to say the least.
For the first time, one should bow down.
Cheng Wang lowered his head and was about to kneel, when a warm and pleasant young man's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Imperial Doctor Cheng is my cousin, and I should also call Doctor Cheng my uncle." Get up quickly, don't salute. Come and give a seat to Doctor Cheng. ”
The unexpected courtesy flattered Cheng Wang. He hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists and saluted: "Thanks to the emperor's love, the micro-ministers dare not be ashamed." ”
Emperor Xuanping chuckled: "Doctor Cheng doesn't have to be suspicious. I've heard of Dr. Cheng for a long time. It's just that you are far away at the border and have no chance to see you. When I heard that you had returned to Beijing, I wanted to see you. ”
"You sit down first, and I'll gossip with you."
Cheng Wang never thought that Emperor Xuanping would be so approachable.
He thanked for the grace and stood up. When he got up, he quickly raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Xuanping.
At this glance, a subtle stunned feeling suddenly flashed in Cheng Wang's heart.
A fifteen-year-old boy dressed in a dragon robe, with a handsome appearance, a smile on his lips, and a gentle gaze. What is surprising is that the young man in front of him is a little similar to his deceased wife......
Emperor Xuanping was also looking at Cheng Wang.
The man in front of him is already thirty-seven, with gray hair on his sideburns and a somewhat vicissitudes in his face. However, he is still slender and handsome, with a pair of black eyes calm and gentle.
Born from the heart.
Just by looking at his face, he knew that this was a man who was completely different from Emperor Xuanhe.
Emperor Xuanhe has a domineering temperament, a fierce momentum, suspicious and jealous, and his every move has a heavenly power that cannot be questioned, which makes people dare not look at it directly.
Cheng Wang in front of him is a humble gentleman who is as gentle as jade, which makes people look forward to giving birth to a close heart.
"Doctor Cheng looks at me, do you feel a little familiar?"
Emperor Xuanping smiled and said, "When Cousin Rong saw me for the first time, she was also very surprised. Later, when I asked about it, Cousin Rong told me that I was born with a similar birth to her long-deceased mother. ”
Cheng Wangding calmed down and responded cautiously: "There are indeed some similarities." Weichen's deceased wife and the Queen Mother are siblings, and they are similar in appearance. Come to think of it, the emperor's appearance is very similar to the queen mother, and he is also a little like the deceased wife of a micro-minister. ”
"Yes, blood is the most wonderful bond in the world." A complicated look flashed in Emperor Xuanping's eyes, and his tone was still gentle and relaxed: "I and Cousin Rong hit it off at first sight, they are close to each other, and they are like sisters and brothers. ”
"Therefore, Doctor Cheng can treat me as a junior, and there is no need to be restrained."
There is a difference between monarchs and ministers. Emperor Xuanping can say so, but Cheng Wang can't really act recklessly, otherwise it will be a crime of disrespect.
However, Emperor Xuanping was so kind, the tight string in Cheng Wang's heart loosened, and a smile jumped between his eyebrows: "The emperor has a good intention, but the ministers are disrespectful and presumptuous, please forgive the emperor." ”
Emperor Xuanping said with a smile: "If I don't forgive, let alone Cousin Rong, even Commander He can't spare me." With such a good daughter and son-in-law, there are many people in the capital who envy Doctor Cheng. ”
Emperor Xuanping kept saying that he did not leave Cheng Jinrong, and the closeness in Cheng Wang's heart had another layer: "The emperor praised it, and Weichen was even more ashamed in his heart." Over the years, Weichen has been far away at the border and has not been able to accompany Jinrong. ”
Fortunately, she became a well-known female imperial physician, married a good husband, and gave birth to a pair of white and fat sons. She is happy in everything, and Weichen is happy everywhere. ”
Emperor Xuanping also laughed: "Commander He often boasts of Aman in front of me. As an uncle, I haven't met my nephew yet, and I feel sorry in my heart. ”
Emperor Xuanping's tone was casual and intimate.
Cheng Wang's heart felt as if he had been ironed with hot water.
was far away before, although he knew that Cheng Jinrong and the Six Princes were like sisters and brothers, but his feelings were not profound. Today, I have a direct and deep experience.
Emperor Xuanping asked some trivial things, such as how the treatment of the border army doctors was, what difficulties there were, and so on. Cheng Wang's heart was completely down-to-earth, and he answered them one by one.
When the monarch and the minister met for the first time, it was like gossiping, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and harmonious.
……
After gossiping for half an hour, a chamberlain quietly walked in and whispered a few words in Ding's ear.
Gonggong Ding nodded slightly, walked to Emperor Xuanping's side, and reported in a low voice: "Emperor Qi, Commander He has entered the palace." ”
Emperor Xuanping was not surprised at all, and snorted: "I know." Let him wait outside! After a few more moments, I ordered him to send the military doctor out of the palace. ”
Gonggong Ding answered and retreated.
Cheng Wang heard the three words of Commander He sharply, and couldn't help laughing: "Weichen dares to ask, is He Qi entering the palace?" ”
"Exactly." Emperor Xuanping's eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of self-deprecation: "I summoned you to the palace to meet and talk." Cousin Rong couldn't rest assured, and immediately urged her husband to enter the palace. ”
Cheng Wang reflexively spoke for his daughter: "Weichen was suddenly summoned into the palace by the emperor, even Weichen himself was surprised. Jin Rongding was worried that Weichen would lose his ground and lose his honor in front of the saint. That's why He Qi was urged to enter the palace. ”
Yes, what's wrong with Cousin Rong worrying about the safety of her own father?
Emperor Xuanping was silent for a moment before he smiled: "The father-daughter relationship is deep and enviable. ”
Cheng Wang replied with a smile: "The deep love between the queen mother and the emperor's mother and son is also enviable. ”
Emperor Xuanping glanced at the landscape screen with mixed feelings.
Behind the screen, sat the Empress Dowager Pei.
Empress Dowager Pei, who was dressed in plain clothes, sat quietly. She couldn't see Cheng Wang's people, but she could hear his voice.
When Cheng Wang's sentence "The Queen Mother and the Emperor have a deep love for mother and son" came into her ears, Empress Dowager Pei's whole body trembled slightly, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
The water rolled in his eyes and was swallowed back.
Empress Dowager Pei closed her eyes, and after a long time, she slowly opened them.
