Chapter 145: You Must Always Support the Court
Fortunately, the dagger was very sharp, and Su Che bit the cotton towel in his mouth fiercely, although he trembled in pain, he didn't make a sound at all.
Wang Shu's movements were also very neat, but after a few breaths, the dead flesh was removed one by one.
Da Kuan on the side looked at it, and his fingers were tightly pinched together, as if the knife was cut on his body.
Wang Shu put the dagger aside, washed his hands again, and then beckoned to Dakuan and took the ointment that had been made.
I don't know what kind of ingredients are used in the ointment, it is thick and black, and it exudes a strange smell.
But that's it, as if they hadn't smelled it, Wang Shu let the ointment evenly spread on Su Che's back.
After changing the medicine, Wang Shu let out a long breath and said softly: "That's all I can do, I can only guarantee that if you recuperate well, you will be able to heal in less than ten days, but if you are still like today, the wound will not heal, I don't know if you will be as flexible as you are now in the future." ”
Su Che spit out the handkerchief in his mouth, let out a long sigh, and then replied weakly: "I will definitely obey the orders of the prince in the future." ”
Wang Shu nodded, covered the wound with fine gauze, and looked carefully at the child in front of him.
Su Che is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy now, and at this age, the noble son of another family is afraid that he is still fighting cocks and lackeys, and he is at home as a gentleman with peace of mind, but he has already gone through the underworld.
Maybe these things shouldn't be hidden from him anymore, he is going to become the head of the Su family after all.
Thinking of this, Wang Shu raised his eyes and looked at the two little servants standing quietly with their hands down, and commanded in a low voice: "You go and guard outside the door, I have something to say to your prince." ”
Where did Da Kuan and Xiao Wen dare to delay, he immediately responded and bowed out.
Although Su Che's mind is quite simple, he is not completely ignorant, this time the matter is too strange, and he can't help but think about it.
But what he knew was very limited after all, and he had been thinking about these things in his mind since he woke up, but after thinking about it for two days, he still didn't have a clue.
At this time, he saw that Wang Shu had sent everyone out, and naturally understood what Wang Shu wanted to say to him.
He turned his head with difficulty, stared at Wang Shu tightly, and asked in a dumb voice, "Taigong, do you want to tell me that this time there is something strange about it?" ”
Wang Shu was quite pleased, after all, he was a child of the Su family, and he was really very sensitive to these things.
He nodded slowly and said, "Your father didn't tell you these things, and I think he was also afraid that you would be too young and know too much." But now that people have been killed outside your house, if you are still so ignorant, I am afraid that you will be killed, and you don't know what is going on. ”
Su Che's expression was solemn, he pondered for a moment, and then tried to ask, "But what is the culmination of my Su family's sin?" ”
Su Che knew that his grandfather had the skills of the dragon, and if he didn't have his grandfather's help, the current emperor would still be his idle prince in Taiyuan Mansion.
It is precisely because of this that the status of the Su family in the past few decades can be said to be unshakable by others, what kind of people dare to oppose such a Su family, and even more can extend their hands to Liaodong, where his Su family has been stationed for several generations?
Su Che couldn't figure it out, he looked at Wang Shu a little blankly.
Wang Shu sighed again, too, who would have thought that it was the emperor who wanted to harm the Su family and was the emperor who their Su family guaranteed with all their might.
He looked at Su Che's dazed expression, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Su Che seemed to be aware of the importance of this matter, slowly reined in the blankness on his face, and said solemnly: "Taigong, if you have something to say, I am no longer a child now, and I want to protect my mother and sister." ”
Wang Shu looked at the young man who was still a little childish in front of him, and his heart was full of pity.
He made up his mind, and finally opened his mouth to tell Su Che everything about decades ago.
More than 20 years ago, when Emperor Shun was just an unfavored prince today, he was given a fief when he reached the age of 20, and his family moved to the fiefdom Taiyuan Mansion to live.
Xu is because of the reason that he is not favored, Emperor Tianshun is very low-key, and he is humble and polite when he gets along with others, and he is dedicated to supporting the prince and looking forward to the prince. Therefore, others think that this is a loyal person with a generous personality.
Uncle Zhong Yong also thinks so.
Especially when the crown prince was found to have colluded with the horse bandits outside the Liaodong Pass, looting the people's fat and ointment, and the first emperor was angry, he demoted the prince to a concubine and was confined in a courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, Emperor Tianshun risked being harshly reprimanded and angry by the first emperor, and hurried back to the capital with a whip, kneeling outside the palace gate for two days to intercede for the prince.
It was Emperor Tianshun's actions that made Lao Zhongyong feel that he would be a benevolent and righteous king in the future.
Although Lao Zhongyong did not believe that the prince would do such evil things as colluding with horse bandits, the evidence was ironclad at that time, and the prince hanged himself after the matter was exposed, and it was difficult for the matter to be reversed.
Although the emperor was angry, but he also really loved the prince, the prince entered the imperial study when he was four or five years old, and the emperor had good intentions for the prince.
The crown prince died, and the first queen Wei couldn't afford to be sick, but she died in a few days.
Speaking of the Wei family, if it weren't for Lao Zhongyong's guarantee at that time, I am afraid that the Dingguo Mansion would have been annihilated by now.
After this incident, the emperor's health deteriorated day by day, and he was unable to govern the government.
Emperor Tianshun never left Beijing again, but served the sick in front of the emperor's bed, carrying water and feeding medicine, very attentively.
Lao Zhongyong was also very satisfied with Emperor Tianshun, so when the first emperor summoned him, he truthfully informed the first emperor of his thoughts.
The first emperor originally felt that Emperor Tianshun was too weak, and he was afraid that he would be embarrassed by the big responsibility, but now with the support of the old ministers of the humerus, he was relieved to hand over the throne to Emperor Tianshun.
Su Che naturally knew about these old things, but he didn't understand why Wang Shu would mention these old things for no reason.
But he did not ask, but continued to listen quietly.
"Do you know that your grandfather was attacked and killed twelve years ago?" Wang Shu paused for a moment, and then slowly asked.
Su Che nodded, shook his head again, and said: "At that time, I was only three or four years old, and my sister had not yet been born, so I don't remember these things very clearly, but I heard my father mention it, saying that my grandfather went out on patrol according to the rules, and was attacked by a group of Jinbu cavalry, and was seriously injured and died......."
Wang Shu nodded: "I think your father also told you the same thing, in fact, your grandfather's death was for another reason. ”
