Chapter 033: The Ambition of the Dou Clan
At first, after listening to Prime Minister Dou Cheng's words, Ah Xiyan felt a little uncomfortable, but she has always been good at empathy, and when she calmed down and thought about it, she felt that anyone else would inevitably have the same thoughts.
After all, Ah Xiyan is indeed too young, and neither her experience nor insight meets the standards for the position of chief physician.
Even Ah Xiyan herself felt that it was unrealistic to serve as the chief imperial doctor, because although she was extremely familiar with all kinds of poisonous weeds and poisonous insects, she was also proficient in the principles of detoxification.
However, the Taiyi doctor is not only limited to detoxification, there are many diseases that are not caused by poisonous weeds and poisonous insects, so there is no detoxification, so Ah Xiyan feels that her ability is limited, and she is really unable to take on this important task.
It's just that the saint Chrysostom said that he posted the emperor's list to announce the world, but anyone who can solve the poison in the body of the four princes will be personally appointed as the chief imperial doctor.
And Ah Xiyan happened to solve the poison in the body of the four princes, and the four princes made up a big lie, claiming that Ah Xiyan studied under a famous doctor who was good at detoxification among the people, and recommended her as the chief imperial doctor.
Therefore, the emperor fulfilled his promise on the spot.
So far, Ah Xiyan can only be the chief doctor who everyone envies.
However, when Ah Xiyan saw General A standing on her side, helping her speak, and unceremoniously saying that Dou Cheng couldn't say anything, she was also very moved.
But there is one thing that makes Ah Xiyan feel very confused, that is, General A obviously heard her introduce herself as Ah Xiyan before, but he was indifferent and still acted calmly, as if he didn't know the name Ah Xiyan at all.
But according to Ah Xiyan's confident speculation just now - General A is her biological father, it stands to reason that General A cannot be unfamiliar with this name, and it should be very surprising, and it is even reasonable to ask her about her background on the spot.
Instead of being calm enough to just nod politely, it was a greeting.
So Ah Xiyan became a little confused again, that is, she was too careful, General A was not her biological father, the eldest lady was not her biological mother, and the eldest princess was not her cousin, everything before was just a coincidence.
Maybe it was because she thought she had found out her life experience, but she was suddenly denied by herself, Ah Xiyan's mood was also inadvertently a little low, and she became silent and a little lost her mind because of this.
And all this was also seen by the emperor, of course, it was impossible for the emperor to think that Ah Xiyan was sad about the mystery of her life experience, and thought that she was a little unhappy because she was said to be worthless by Prime Minister Dou Cheng on the spot.
In this regard, the emperor also felt that what Prime Minister Dou Cheng said was a bit extreme, how could he categorically deny that A Xiyan was a woman and too young to be qualified for the position of chief imperial doctor.
I also feel that Dou Cheng humiliates Ah Xiyan so much in front of him, which is very inappropriate, and I am afraid that whoever changes will be very sad and difficult to accept.
Fortunately, General A's blunt rebuttal made the emperor appreciate it, and it can be regarded as a little comfort to A Xiyan.
It's just that the two important ministers of the court stiffened in front of him for Ah Xiyan, which is not conducive to the next major matters to be discussed, and if A Xiyan cannot be approved by the two ministers at the same time, then it will be difficult to carry out the next major matters to be discussed.
Therefore, the emperor knew that he was the only one to be the peacemaker at this moment, try his best to resolve the misunderstanding between the three of them, and let the current somewhat embarrassing cold scene end as soon as possible, and then he could quickly start discussing the major matters related to the military crisis at the border pass.
Otherwise, it will delay the right thing, lead to the deterioration of the situation at the border gates, and then cause a full-scale war between the two countries, even if the war is finally won, it will have to cost the people and money, and the people will be displaced, and the hard-trained soldiers will also suffer heavy casualties, and the prosperous times that have been painstakingly managed over the years will also come to naught.
Thinking of this, the emperor hurriedly smiled and explained: "Hehe, the two Aiqing are a little restless, after listening to the reason why I personally named Ah Xiyan as the chief imperial doctor, I believe you will feel that Ah Xiyan is qualified to take the position." Presumably, the two Aiqing also heard from me in the early dynasty, right? The fourth prince was poisoned in the morning, first suffering from madness, and then falling into a coma. And no one in the entire Tai Hospital can solve the poison in the body of the four princes. And I also sent someone to post the imperial list before the early dynasty, promising that if anyone can solve the poison in the body of the four princes, he will immediately be appointed as the chief imperial doctor. However, for a whole morning, all the famous doctors recommended by the famous medical centers in the imperial city were helpless, admitting that their medical skills were limited and they could not do anything. In addition, the Tai Hospital also sent someone to inform me, who was discussing important matters with the two Aiqing in the imperial study, that they could consider preparing for the aftermath of the four princes in advance. At that time, after hearing this, I also asked the two Aiqing to wait for a while, and immediately rushed to the dormitory of the four princes, planning to force the imperial doctor to go all out to treat the four princes, otherwise the entire imperial hospital would be buried with them. However, just when I thought that the four princes really had no skills to return to heaven, unexpectedly, Aunt Chang entered the palace and recommended A Xiyan, a medical woman. And after Ah Xiyan gave the four princes a pill, she woke up the four princes on the spot and temporarily suppressed the poison in his body. Next, only a blood test is needed to find out the specific toxicity, and then a special antidote can be configured to make the four princes fully recover. Since Miss A has done what the famous doctors recommended by the entire Tai Hospital and all the medical centers can't do, why is she not qualified to be appointed as the chief imperial doctor by my relatives? Besides, my emperor list has been announced to the world, how can I violate the principle of no joke just because Miss A is young? What do the two Aiqing think of this reason? ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers of the four princes have indeed heard of it, and they also know about your posting of the emperor's list. As for the fact that you were notified by the Imperial Hospital to leave in a hurry in the imperial study, Lao Chen also saw it with his own eyes, but it is not clear what the result will be. Do you mean that the Fourth Prince has woken up at this moment and is fine? That's good, that's good! To tell the truth, Lao Chen has always been concerned about the safety of the four princes in his heart. It's just that there is a sudden emergency military situation here, so I have to rush to the imperial study to discuss with the emperor urgently, otherwise I would have personally visited the four princes. Since Miss A was recommended by Aunt Chang, and she did what the entire Tai Hospital and all the famous doctors in the people could not do, she can indeed be regarded as a young and promising strange woman. And the emperor posted the emperor's list and promised to be the chief imperial doctor, so naturally it was the king's jokes. It's just that Lao Chen still thinks that Miss A can solve the poison of the four princes, maybe there is a coincidence, and it is not impossible to taste it, not how superb her medical skills really are. After all, there is no famous teacher to study, and a self-taught ordinary medical woman takes the position of chief doctor, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public! Moreover, the next discussion of the border military situation is of great importance, and if it is not for the participation of the chief imperial doctor who is really talented and learned, I am afraid it will not be of much significance. Please think twice. ”
Prime Minister Dou replied unhurriedly.
Although Prime Minister Dou Cheng's remarks did not strongly oppose the emperor's practice of appointing A Xiyan as the chief imperial physician, the implication was that it was a coincidence, and he did not agree that A Xiyan was qualified to stay in the imperial study to discuss the next military affairs together.
The reason why Dou Cheng's obvious tone is much more euphemistic than Ah Xiyan is because Prime Minister Dou Cheng has always been optimistic about the four princes, and firmly believes that the four princes are the best candidates for the crown prince, and he also plans to recommend his daughter to marry the fourth prince and become the future crown princess.
Even one day in the future, after the four princes inherit the throne, his daughter will be able to become the queen, so his Dou family will be able to glorify their ancestors because of the queen mother of the world, and enjoy the glory and wealth of eternity.
So when I heard that the four princes were suddenly poisoned and unconscious, I was also anxious, and I was worried about discussing military affairs with the emperor in the imperial study, and I couldn't visit the four princes.
But he still insists on the position of chief imperial doctor in his bones, and he should be a person with a good family background and a famous doctor who can convince the public, so Ah Xiyan, who is an ordinary palace maid in front of him, really can't let her recognize.
Naturally, he was reluctant to discuss the next major military affairs with Ah Xiyan.
Hearing Prime Minister Dou say this, the emperor did not immediately express his position, but looked at General A to see what he thought about this reason.
After listening to Prime Minister Dou's words and seeing the emperor looking at him, General A also spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Miss A is young, she can solve the poison that the famous doctors recommended by the entire Tai Hospital and all the medical halls in the imperial city cannot solve, which is enough to see that she is gifted and belongs to the strange woman of the dragon and phoenix among people. Moreover, the emperor Jinkou promised to personally seal the position of chief imperial physician to anyone who can solve the poison of the four princes. And now that Miss A has successfully awakened the Four Princes and has the ability to completely detoxify, then the position of Chief Imperial Physician is well-deserved for her. Chen always believes that employing people should be the only one, and Miss A must not ignore her talent just because she is young and a woman. In that way, there would be no such outstanding prodigy as her. So the minister has no objection. I also feel that Miss A is qualified to participate in the discussion of the next military intelligence events. Please also ask the emperor to be clear. ”
The reason why General A unconditionally supports and trusts A Xiyan is because A Xiyan is his biological daughter.
Second, General A knew that Ah Xiyan was a woman born with a poisonous body, and after being abandoned by him, she could still survive unharmed, and she must have experienced unimaginable adventures for ordinary people.
Therefore, it is reasonable that only she can solve the poison in the body of the four princes, and it is enough to see that Ah Xiyan's attainments in detoxification are unparalleled.
And the next major military affairs discussed at the border pass are also related to a tricky poison, so General A is naturally very confident that A Xiyan will participate, and he is definitely the best candidate for this secret discussion.
After listening to Prime Minister Dou and General A's answers, the emperor knew that General A had no objections, but Prime Minister Dou still didn't seem to approve of A Xiyan, which also made the emperor a little helpless.
Suddenly, the imperial study once again fell into a somewhat embarrassing coldness.
When she saw that the emperor was also a little embarrassed, Ah Xiyan suddenly had an idea and thought of a wonderful way to change Dou Cheng's prejudice against her......
