With Empress Dowager Gao returning to power, Zhao Xu resumed his previous life again.

Go to court! Next Dynasty!

Listen to the minister's lecture and keep fit!

However, this seems to be a normal life, but Fan Zheng saw a trace of absent-mindedness from Zhao Xu's body.

"The official family seems to have something on his mind?" When the two were alone, Fan Zheng was worried again.

Facing Fan Zheng's inquiry, Zhao Xu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said:

"When will I be able to really pro-government!"

Facing Fan Zheng, Zhao Xu finally confided in his heart, he had been held by the Empress Dowager before, although he was dissatisfied, but he didn't feel much.

During this period of time, Empress Dowager Gao was finally bedridden, and he was in power in the court, and issued two decrees one after another.

Hundreds of officials praised it, and the people praised it, which made him excited.

Just when he was in high spirits, the Empress Dowager Gao returned to the court and easily regained power, although he had won the respect of hundreds of officials, but the power was gained and lost, which made him quite disappointed.

Fan Zheng frowned, knowing that Zhao Xu was already obsessed with the feeling of power, but he did not directly persuade it, after all, it was the supreme imperial power, how could it be a sentence or two to persuade him.

"There is one side of Weichen, which can make the official family pro-government as soon as possible!" Fan Zheng's heart moved, and he thought of a good idea.

Zhao Xu couldn't wait to say, "Doctor Fan, please?" ”

Fan Zheng came to Zhao Xu's side and jokingly said: "The official family is now married, if the prince can be born as soon as possible and have the next generation of heirs, wouldn't it be one step closer to the pro-government?" ”

When Zhao Xu heard this, his face immediately turned red, he didn't expect Fan Zheng to come up with such an evil formula.

However, he knew that although Fan Zheng's prescription was evil, it was not unreasonable.

Part of the reason why Renzong didn't come into power at the age of 23 was that Renzong had no heirs, and he didn't have an eldest son until he was 27 years old, but unfortunately he still died early.

If the queen is pregnant, it means that he has really grown up and added a big boost to his pro-government.

"The official family and the queen have been married for a year, why haven't they conceived yet?" Fan Zheng suddenly frowned, thinking of the rumors in the palace that Empress Meng was appointed by the Empress Dowager, and the official family was very disliked, it was because the official family disliked the queen.

"I ............."

Zhao Xu opened his mouth, wanting to speak and stopped.

"Since the official family doesn't like it, why should they marry her! Without His Majesty's approval, how can the queen enter the palace! Fan Zheng persuaded, "Besides, the real fault is not the queen, nor Your Majesty, nor the empress dowager, but this marriage custom, there are many blind marriages and arranged marriages in the world, not an official case." ”

Zhao Xu said gloomily: "Imperial Doctor Fan doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, you get what you want and have a lover with the world's first talented woman, but I can only marry a woman I don't love." ”

Fan Zheng retorted: "Your Majesty's situation in Weichen doesn't know that Weichen and Qingzhao are in love, which still caused an uproar, if it weren't for Weichen and Qingzhao's talent, I'm afraid it would still be difficult to escape this catastrophe." ”

Zhao Xu was speechless for a moment, Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao made a private lifelong agreement, and there was a lot of uproar, and the two of them were even more love poems against each other, and they achieved their love with a famous poem through the ages, but it was the Empress Dowager who appointed Meng as the queen, and he did not dare to resist.

Fan Zheng said again: "Even in Weichen's view, the real misfortune is not the official family, but the queen, the official family will have three palaces and six courtyards in the future, and they will definitely be able to find their beloved, and the queen may only marry someone who does not love herself, and she is doomed to a lifetime of tragedy." ”

Zhao Xu was shocked when he heard this, and he was thoughtful.

Fan Zheng looked at Zhao Xu and said bluntly. As a man, since we marry her, we must be responsible for it, the official family and the queen have been married, and the fate of the two of you has been tied together, if anyone in the world wants the official family to govern the most, I think Queen Meng should be the first in line, because she has no way out. ”

Zhao Xu's face changed, and he finally gritted his teeth and said: "I will naturally be responsible for the queen, but it's not that I don't like the queen, but the queen is very likely to be infertile!" ”

"The queen is infertile?" Fan Zheng's face was shocked!

Zhao Xu said with an embarrassed face: "Not bad, otherwise how can a normal couple have sex together for a year and not get pregnant!" ”

He is also a young man with strong blood, how can he withstand the temptation between husband and wife, and the newlywed Yan'er is not a snub to the queen.

Fan Zheng looked at Zhao Xu with a strange face and said, "Male and female infertility is not necessarily the responsibility of the woman, and it may also be ............. ”

"No way, I'm so strong!" Zhao Xu said angrily.

After this period of exercise, Zhao Xu has indeed become much stronger, but Fan Zheng did not say it explicitly, because many times this kind of thing does not depend on whether he is strong or not.

"Have you ever seen a doctor?" Fan Zheng asked.

Zhao Xu shook his head, looked at Fan Zheng and said strangely: "Who still sees the imperial doctor now?" ”

"Ugh!"

Fan Zheng was speechless for a moment, when did Taiyi become a derogatory term.

However, he understood what Zhao Xu meant, and now the medical skills of the traditional Chinese medicine hospital are well-deserved to be the first in the world, and the first choice for many dignitaries to see a doctor has been changed from a traditional Chinese medicine hospital to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital.

"If you want to talk about infertility, the female doctor Zhang Youniang is the most convenient, and the official family can summon her to the palace for diagnosis and treatment." Fan Zheng suggested.

"There's Dr. Lao Fan!" Zhao Xu finally nodded cautiously.

On the second day, Fan Zheng and Zhao Xu were exercising normally, and suddenly a palace maid came to report: "Qiqi official's family, Doctor Zhang asked Fan Taiyi and the official family to go to Longyou Palace together." ”

"Longyou Palace?"

Fan Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, you must know that Longyou Palace is Queen Meng's palace, and today Zhang Youniang entered the palace to treat Queen Meng, could it be that she really found out the problem?

At the moment, Fan Zheng looked at Zhao Xu on the side.

Zhao Xu spread his hands and motioned to Fan Zheng, sure enough, Queen Meng was unable to conceive.

At that moment, Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Okay, this Imperial Doctor will go with the official family." ”

Soon, the two arrived at Longyou Palace, and Fan Zheng saw a dignified and virtuous woman in palace clothes who was crying, it was the Empress Meng of the current dynasty.

"The concubine has seen the official family!" When Empress Meng saw Zhao Xu coming, she hurriedly wiped her tears and saluted.

Empress Meng is not a beautiful and delicate appearance, but a dignified appearance and a strict manner, which does not make Zhao Xu fall in love.

Zhao Xu didn't like Queen Meng's seriousness, but after Fan Zheng's persuasion just now, coupled with the one-day husband and wife's hundred days, he stepped forward to help Queen Meng and comforted: "It's okay, everything is here." ”

Zhang Youniang on the side shook her head and said, "Don't worry, the queen has no problem!" ”

Zhao Xu, who was comforting Empress Meng, stiffened when he heard this, and couldn't help but think of Fan Zheng's strange eyes looking at him just now.

"No way, I ............." Zhao Xu's face turned red and said.

Zhang Youniang frowned and said: "This is also where the old body is confused, it is extremely rare for two young men and women not to get pregnant for a year, and the old body is helpless. ”

Fan Zheng frowned and said: "There are no more than several reasons for infertility, in addition to the reasons of both parties, there is also the possibility of close relatives marrying that have been identified, and obviously the official family and the queen can rule it out, and drugs such as pills can also cause infertility!" ”

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "This is impossible, the queen and I are young, how can we take pills and other medicines." ”

Suddenly, Zhang Youniang and Fan Zheng frowned.

Zhang Youniang hesitated: "Could it be that the official family and the queen are not fatal, after all, it is not impossible to get pregnant for a year." ”

Fan Zheng suddenly remembered what happened to Zhao Xu in the later generations, and suddenly said with a solemn face: "No, there is definitely a problem!" ”

Zhao Xu and Empress Meng were suddenly startled, and immediately looked at Fan Zheng nervously.

"Did Imperial Doctor Fan find out?" Zhao Xu asked.

Fan Zheng nodded heavily and said: "Have the officials found that since Zhenzong, it is difficult for the emperor to have heirs, but most of the princes born in the palace have died young, how can there be such a coincidence in the world, and the people will not be like this, the royal family also has a skilled imperial doctor to heal, there is definitely a problem in it." ”

Zhao Xu's face changed, and he finally gritted his teeth and said: "This is the curse of the royal family, and it is rumored that the Zhao family has won the country unjustly, and it is punished by this god." ”

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "In the eyes of the doctors, the curse is nonsense, there must be unknown evil arts in it, if the reason is not found, the official family is afraid that it will repeat the mistakes of the emperors of the past dynasties." ”

Zhao Xu's heart was shocked, and he was suddenly cold, he was the emperor, so he naturally knew about his own affairs.

Zhenzong had six sons, five of whom died young, and only one survived.

The three sons of Renzong all died, and the eight princesses died early.

His father also died five sons in a row, and after he survived, he died several younger siblings in a row.

If he repeats the same mistakes, I am afraid that he will suffer the pain of losing children in a row, and at worst, he will be as desperate as Renzong.

"Please also ask Mrs. Fan to save me!" Zhao Xu said solemnly.

Fan Zheng also saluted: "Weichen is valued by His Majesty, naturally it is his responsibility, this evil art has been raging in the palace for a hundred years but has not been discovered, Weichen needs a helper who is proficient in medical skills, preferably someone outside the palace." ”

"Whoever Imperial Doctor Fan needs help, I will issue an edict." Zhao Xu said without hesitation.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Wechen needs the assistance of Su Dun, a forensic doctor who is proficient in solving cases, and Yang Jie, a Saihuatuo. ”

"Accurate!" Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, at this moment, he naturally didn't believe in the people in the palace, Su Dun and Yang Jie were the most suitable candidates.

At that moment, Zhao Xu instructed the personal eunuch on the side: "You go to deliver the decree immediately, and at the same time invite the empress dowager to come, remember to keep it secret." ”

"Yes!" The eunuch commanded.

"From now on, Longyou Palace has no will, and it is not allowed to enter and exit at will." Zhao Xu ordered decisively.

……………………

An hour later, Su Dun and Yang Jie hurried to Longyou Palace, only to see that Longyou Palace could hear the needle falling, and the clouds were shrouded.

"See the Empress Dowager, see the official family!" The two were confused, and they didn't know why they were summoned into the palace.

Empress Dowager Gao said in a heavy voice: "Fan Aiqing, explain the situation to the two divine doctors." ”

Fan Zheng nodded, walked over to the two, and placed a copy of the royal family tree in front of them.

"This can't be?" Seeing such a high infant mortality rate at the royal family, the two exclaimed almost at the same time.

Such a high mortality rate is extremely rare among the people, let alone the imperial palace where the imperial doctors gather.

A trace of pain flashed on Empress Dowager Gao's face, she had always thought that it was the royal heir's disgrace, but the curse of the Zhao family, or the emperor's bad fate, but the evil doctors, divine doctors, and forensic doctors in the world all agreed that there was a problem, and I am afraid that there must be a big problem.

"Please also ask the three Aiqing to find out this evil art." Empress Dowager Gao said solemnly.

The three nodded heavily.

Soon, Su Dun took the lead and said: "First of all, the evil art must be in the palace, the sons of Taizong were not born in the palace, and the survival rate is extremely high, and the heirs of Zhenzong have begun to die in large numbers, so that Renzong is directly extinct." ”

"Although Yingzong was adopted by Renzong in the palace, he was out of the palace for a period of time, and the sons of the Empress Dowager were also born outside the palace, and three of the four sons were saved, and they arrived at the ............ of the first emperor."

Su Dun's words are not over, everyone is cold, it is obvious that the princes outside the palace can survive, and the princes born in the palace are all ill-fated.

Yang Jie quickly looked through the medical records and prescriptions of the princes who died in the past dynasties, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There is nothing wrong with the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctors of the past dynasties, and the evil art is not on the side of the imperial doctors. ”

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, I once suspected that it was cholera in the harem, but I saw that the queens of the past dynasties also died young, and the concubines were the same, which also ruled out the suspicion of the harem." ”

When Empress Meng heard the cholera in the harem, her face couldn't help but turn pale, and then Fan Zheng ruled out the suspicion, and then she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Xu and said meaningfully: "After the royal election of all dynasties, morality was put in the first place. ”

Zhao Xu was suddenly silent, except for the slightly inferior appearance, Empress Meng was impeccable.

"Is there a suspicion here? Most of the surviving princes were born to low-status concubines, such as Renzong and the official family, which shows that this evil art was mainly aimed at the emperor and the empress concubines of high status. Su Dun frowned.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but be stunned, she had always looked down on Concubine Zhu, who was from a low background, but she didn't expect that it was Concubine Zhu's low background that kept the official family safe.

Yang Jie also nodded and said: "The heirs of the official family in the past dynasties are difficult, and many of the sons of the harem have died just after birth, but they are not completely infertile, which shows that the problem is the body of the official family and the concubines of the harem. ”

Queen Meng suddenly stumbled, she entered the palace for more than a year, and she has not been able to conceive so far, I am afraid that she has been conspired against.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "And there are only two reasons that can make people unconsciously poisoned, one is that the place where they live all year round is poisonous, and the other is that the things they eat often are poisonous." ”

At that moment, the three of them glanced at each other, and suddenly understood that they were getting closer and closer to the truth.

Su Dun took a deep breath and said: "According to legend, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang uses mercury as a hundred rivers and seas, and mercury is very volatile, so that there is no grass on the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang................... ”

Zhao Xu and the others were shocked to hear this, they lived in the most magnificent house in the world, but they were almost lying on a pile of poison.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "There are not many cinnabar used for deworming, and it has been a hundred years, its toxicity is already minimal, and the symptoms of cinnabar poisoning are obvious, and it is impossible for the imperial doctors of the past dynasties not to see it." ”

Yang Jie frowned and said, "Then there is only one possibility." ”

"Imperial Dining Room!"

The three of them said in unison.
