Chapter 33 The Great Song Palace
In fact, even Zhang Miaoshou didn't understand Su Shi.
Only Su Shi knows that he has come to this world and received thirteen years of nurturing grace from his father, and the best way is for them not to worry about their future lives, at least not just a word from those uncles who have never met will make their family difficult.
If you want to use power to suppress me, then I have more power than you.
The group, under the leadership of Imperial Physician Xu Bin, went north from Mahang Street to Daliang Road, walked next to Xiangguo Temple, and came to Danfeng Gate in the south of the imperial city.
At the gate of the Imperial City, a group of guards stepped forward and once again checked the belongings of the holy hands, and after making sure that there were no prohibited items, they waved their hands and let them go. Then he headed north to the depths of the Imperial City.
In the imperial city, Renzong Zhao Zhen had just come to the Zhaoren Palace.
In the past two days, Zhao Xi's condition seems to have become more serious, and it has become a little difficult to eat.
It was also in the early dynasty today that Zhao Zhen issued an edict to crown Zhao Xi as the king of Jing, in order to give his only son Chong Chong Xi, hoping to pass this pass.
"Official, Imperial Physician Xu has come back and brought some folk holy hands, and they are waiting outside the palace at this time." Zhang Mao, the personal father-in-law, stepped forward and whispered in Zhao Zhen's ear.
Speaking of Zhang Maoze, although he is the person next to Zhao Zhen, he admires Queen Cao very much in his heart.
It is recorded in history that in the first year of Jiayou, the emperor was sick, and the prime minister went to the small hall of the east gate to greet him, and the emperor ran out of the forbidden place and said loudly: "The queen and Zhang Mao are plotting against each other." The speech is very confused. Zhang Mao hanged himself when he heard the words, rescued him left and right, and failed. Prime Minister Wen Yanbo rebuked him and said: "The Son of Heaven is sick, and what he says is just a proverb in his illness, why should you be like this!" If you die, what will you do to the middle palace?" still ordered him to always serve the emperor and not leave.
It's just that now, he still has Zhao Zhen's heart, and he is also one of the ancestors of all the fathers-in-law in the inner courtyard of the palace. (Another ancestor is Chen Lin, the manager of the secret spy department)
"Announce it." Xu Bin had told him before that he could invite the Holy Hand from the people, or maybe find a way to heal King Jing, and he was naturally mentally prepared.
"Yes. Xuan allowed the imperial doctor and a group of folk holy hands to enter the palace. Turning around, Zhang Mao shouted loudly, and then a small yellow gate (middle-level eunuch) sang loudly and conveyed this order.
Xu Bin and his party, who had already arrived outside the Zhaoren Palace, heard these words, and one by one lowered their heads as much as possible, bowed down and followed the small yellow gate towards the palace.
Everyone lowered their heads, only Su Shi on the wooden chair, and his eyes couldn't help but look left and right. And because his position was relatively low, his movements did not attract anyone's attention.
Along the way, what caught Su Shi's eyes was a majestic city wall that was sixteen or seventeen meters high and seven or eight stories high in later generations.
The walls are made of rammed earth and covered with masonry. Looking closely, it gives people a sense of "its high sky, strong and majestic".
Entering the palace again, everything inside also subverted Su Shi's perception of the Song Dynasty.
Later generations often said that the Song people were simple and elegant or calm and refined in decoration, but the interior of the building in front of them was full of exquisite patterns, beautiful columns, beautiful dougongs, and the ceiling could be dazzling.
Is this quaint and elegant?
Or is it calm and inward?
It's just low-key luxury, okay.
Along the way, Su Shi has been discussing in his heart, discussing the difference between what he sees and what is recorded in history. But then I was relieved.
History is written by people.
Even if it is written by a person, then there will inevitably be subjective speculation in it, and if you rely on this to think that this is the truth of history at that time, it is really too hasty.
"Young master, don't look around, I'm about to see the official family, you have to obey the rules." Zhang Miao, who was pushing the wooden chair, had been paying attention to Su Shi, and seeing that he was completely out of the world, he finally couldn't help but muttered twice.
"Oh." Being reminded by this, Su Shi's face became a little serious, and then he lowered his head, looking very honest.
Soon, everyone came to the Zhaoren Palace, and they could already see a middle-aged man in a red robe standing there with his hands behind his back, and in front of and behind him, several small yellow doors were bowing their heads and waiting.
The man who can be in the palace, except for the emperor, does not think about him. At that moment, led by Xu Bin, and the other folk saints joined in, they knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”
"Get up." Zhao Zhen didn't even look at these folk saints with a straight eye, he just looked at Xu Bin and said, "King Jing's health seems to be even worse, you can take them in and have a look." ”
"Yes." Xu Bin immediately agreed, and then pointed to the North Street Holy Hand behind him and said, "You go in with me first." Remember, don't look around, just diagnose the disease. ”
"The grass people know." After the holy hand who was named the first one agreed, he tightened the medicine box on his body, and then lowered his head and followed Xu Bin to the depths of the inner courtyard.
As soon as Xu Bin left, the atmosphere in the courtyard became a little dignified. Zhao Zhen always turned his back to them, and he didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to say anything, which made the atmosphere very depressing for a while.
Fortunately, after a while, the sound of footsteps came out, and the Holy Hand of North Street, who was the first to enter, withdrew, and then stood aside with an ugly face. Xu Bin, who came out with him, nodded to the second person and said, "Come, you come in with me." ”
Accompanied by Xiao Huangmen, the three of them entered again, and returned soon after, and so on, until the first six holy hands entered and exited in turn, it was Zhang Miaoshou's turn, and unlike the others, he pushed Su Shi into the inner courtyard together.
The little yellow door who led the way also took a second look, but when he saw that Imperial Physician Xu didn't mean to say more, he also closed his mouth in recognition.
Sitting on the wooden chair, Su Shi first bypassed a rockery, followed by a long corridor, and then saw a very well-guarded courtyard, and there were four small yellow doors standing at the door alone.
Needless to say, this should be the place where the little nobleman lives.
After another inspection, he didn't even let go of the wooden chair where Su Shi was sitting, and the others were also carried down by those small yellow doors, and after finding no problems, he was allowed to return to the wooden chair and walk towards the inner courtyard.
As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, the first thing that entered Su Shi's eyes was a bunch of warblers and swallows, wearing red and green, and the master was surrounded by a bunch of people.
Due to the large number of people, a natural heat wave was formed, which rushed straight to Su Shi's nose. He sniffed it carefully, and he also smelled the perfume of the hotel, needless to say, these people were all perfume buyers.
In other words, these are all nobles in the palace, and those who can appear here must still have a certain level, and idlers are not allowed to enter.
Later generations commented on Song Renzong: "Ke has been reinstated, but he is a good woman." ”
The explanation of the previous sentence is that he can restrain his own desires, and is polite to others, and he is also very caring and generous to his courtiers. As for the latter sentence, everyone understands it.
Suddenly, there are so many more women, and most of them are young and beautiful women, so it's no wonder that Xu Bin didn't let everyone look at it before.
"Keep your head down." There was a voice of Zhang Miaoshou reminding him. Su Shi turned his head down, then sat on the wooden chair and went straight to the open room.
As soon as I entered the room, a large bed came into view, and under the fine silk quilt, a child's head was revealed.
Next to the big bed, a beautiful woman was bowing her head and weeping, very sad.
"Alright, let's go check the pulse." Xu Bin had long been accustomed to such an occasion, and he didn't feel any discomfort, but just urged out loud.
"Yes." Zhang Miaoshou agreed, and then stood up from behind the wooden chair, and then walked towards the bed.
For a moment, everyone's attention fell on Zhang Miaoshou's body, and changed with his complexion. On the contrary, it was Su Shi, no one paid attention to him, but gave him a good opportunity to look around.
After no one stared, Su Shi looked inside the house, and saw that the decoration here was indeed extremely luxurious, and he couldn't help but scold "big dog" in his heart.
Then, Su Shi's gaze turned, and he met a small adult, a pair of big eyes.
It was a little girl of five or six years old, with big, beautiful eyes.
There are a pair of good-looking dimples hanging on her sweet round face, and a pair of watery eyes, which turn from time to time, showing a clever and mischievous energy. At this time, these eyes were also looking at Su Shi.
Seeing such a cute little girl, Su Shi liked it in his heart, and his face changed, his mouth suddenly opened wide, his hands were slightly raised, he pinched his face, and made a grimace.
Su Shi's sudden move fell into the eyes of the little girl, which shocked her.
She has been in the palace for so long, and the people here seem to be like zombies, not smiling. Even when they need to laugh, they are so fake, how can they ever see such a big brother make a grimace in front of her?
For a while, the little girl who was a little uncomfortable almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Fortunately, Su Shi reacted quickly, and when the grimace disappeared immediately, his right hand stood up and put it to his mouth to make a silent movement.
The little girl was very clever, and immediately understood what Su Shi meant, and nodded hurriedly, and then she stared at Su Shi, as if she wanted to see if he had any new tricks.
"Lord Xu, the grass people have been diagnosed." On this side, Zhang Miaoshou had already taken his hand off Zhao Xi's wrist, and said with a somewhat serious face.
