Chapter 282: Harvest
The corners of Zhao Xu's mouth raised a small arc: You really don't know, I don't like my courtiers pretending to be confused in front of me!
Ouyang Shu's scalp was numb, but his mouth was self-sufficient: What is Your Majesty referring to, can you give a hint, Weichen really doesn't know at all!
Zhao Xu finally let out a soft laugh. I just don't know if it's a sneer or a genuine laugh.
You really don't know? The Queen Mother's illness, what's going on, you really don't know?
Ouyang Shu's heart sank, and Zhao Xu asked this sentence directly, which was equivalent to admitting that this matter was what he did. But Ouyang Shu has no room to turn around, and not understanding is the only way to live in front of him, he can only continue to play tricks: Weichen is only shallow in learning, and he really can't see what kind of disease it is, if His Majesty is guilty of this and the minister, the minister has nothing to say, but he will inevitably be dissatisfied in his selfish heart!
Zhao Xu sighed, and repeated the four words that were only sparse, as if he wanted to squeeze out a trace of unusual flavor from these four words.
Since you admit that you are only a shallow learner, and you are helpless at the slightest illness, what else do you have to disagree with? Zhao Xu asked tentatively.
Ouyang Shu said in a loud voice: Your Majesty, Weichen is from Jinshi, what he learns on weekdays is all classics and history, and he has never really studied medicine, and the art of Qihuang is only self-taught through some medical books, which can be said to be halfway through, and he can't be on the stage. His Majesty asked Wechen to see a doctor for His Majesty, and Wechen felt that he was a courtier, so he had to reluctantly make it difficult, but Wechen never felt that his medical skills could be better than that of the imperial doctor. Now, the Queen Mother's illness is still helpless even for the imperial doctors, and how can Weichen, a Jinshi courtier who is not even a doctor, come up with any good solutions?
Zhao Xu pinched his nose and snorted, secretly having a trace of doubt about his judgment in his heart: looking at his expression, it doesn't seem to be fake, can't you really see that the old woman's poison is under me? This is not completely impossible, although the diseases he has treated in the past, although they are all incurable diseases, they are still within the scope of diseases, as for poison, he has never tried it, it seems not surprising! Moreover, as he said, his main study is the scriptures and history, and Qihuangshu is only his hobby, and he has never even worshiped a decent master, even if he has learned a good medical skill with his brilliant talent, it is very likely that he has a major defect in a certain aspect.
Zhao Xu had no murderous intentions towards Ouyang Shu. Because although Ouyang Shu knew some secrets of the palace that others didn't know, these secrets would soon be made public, and after this period of time, these secrets would be worthless. Besides, Zhao Xu now has to rely on Ouyang Shu to maintain his body, and it is difficult to move him.
Today there was an accident. The reason is that the eldest princess ordered Liang to invite Ouyang Shu to come to politics. In the past, the Queen Mother herself had also invited the imperial doctor, but the caliber of the imperial doctors was surprisingly consistent, everyone said that they could not do anything, and the Queen Mother Xiang saw that everyone was helpless, so she also gave up. Although she knew that Ouyang Shu's medical skills were good, she didn't believe that he could be so strong that he could be immersed in medical books every day and have been practicing medicine for many years. On the contrary, Zhao Xu was filial piety and sincerity, and even detained all the summoned imperial doctors, ordering them not to think of a way to leave the palace, so that the Empress Dowager Xiang felt guilty about these imperial doctors, and did not want to invite others into the palace.
But today, the eldest princess Zhao Jing suddenly remembered Ouyang Shu, and regardless of the opposition of the Empress Dowager, she ordered Liang to enter politics and immediately summon her. You can not listen to other people's orders, even if it is the queen's decree, Liang Congzheng can disobey it, but the eldest princess's decree, Liang Congzheng does not dare to disobey the slightest thought. Who is Zhao Jing, that is a sentence that can decide life and death, although she has never directly or indirectly killed someone, but Liang Congzheng knows that Zhao Xu can definitely kill many people because of her words.
When Ouyang Shu entered the palace, Zhao Xu was bidding farewell to the envoys of Liaoxia and Xia in the Zichen Palace. Both Liang and Yelu Yanxi were satisfied with the outcome of the talks.
Liang was satisfied that the negotiation process was much simpler than expected, and the results were much better. Although from today onwards, he can't stay in this prosperous and lively Bianjing City any longer, which is a pity, but after returning to Western Xia, he will inevitably have to be promoted. He has gained much more than what he has lost, which is certainly something to rejoice about.
Yelu Yanxi was of course also happy about the conclusion of a peace treaty between the Song and Xia countries. After all, in this way, the problems of the western frontier would be alleviated, and he could concentrate on dealing with the rebellion at home and the rebellion that was about to arise.
And the so-called imminent rebellion is also the main harvest of Yelu Yanxi's southward trip, all along, he has always regarded the wild people who gave birth to Jurchen as docile puppies, but he didn't expect them to be dressed up as wild wolves, if he wasn't lucky enough this time, he really couldn't reveal this secret.
From this point of view, although he did not get the southern beauty he originally wanted to get this time in the south, it can be regarded as a fruitful harvest. After all, there are no beauties, as long as his country is still there, his throne is still there, and there will be opportunities to find it in the future, but if these hundred and two golden ou are all the things of the * family, his life may not be saved, let alone any beauties.
Zhao Xu also has his satisfaction, and his satisfaction stems from the satisfaction of Liang Chang and Yelu Yanxi. The guests were satisfied with their hospitality, and he, the host, was naturally satisfied. And he was even more satisfied that the guests were also satisfied with his extra meal.
At the time of parting, the three of them actually had a little affection for others, so they used the Zichen Hall as a place for chattering and gossiping, and they actually talked about homely things.
But at this moment, someone suddenly came to Zhao Xu to report the news of Ouyang Shu's entry into the palace. As soon as Zhao Xu heard this, his face changed on the spot, and he casually exchanged words with the two envoys, sent them away, and went straight to Chongqing Palace
Today's Zhao Xu's mood is also extremely conflicted. If he killed Ouyang Shu, he would naturally be over, and there would be no danger of leaking his mother's murder, but killing him would also have many disadvantages. For example, his own illness
Zhao Xu also fell into hesitation.
Although Ouyang Shu's face was calm, there were also waves in his heart, he already felt that Zhao Xu in front of him was at the strongest time of killing, if he couldn't dispel his killing machine at this time, he would probably be buried here today.
Her Royal Highness the princess said that Ouyang Shu suddenly spoke.
He knew that if it continued to be so dull, Zhao Xu would probably be spicy to himself. Anyway, he himself is dead, only a matter of time, he should not be willing to take the risk of keeping his own. Ouyang Shu also knew that Zhao Xu cared about Zhao Jing, and her reputation could easily arouse Zhao Xu's interest.
