103. Xia Zihan is seriously ill

Du did not forget this marriage ceremony, which was held very grandly.

In addition to Emperor Zhu Houxi personally presiding over Du Buxing's mansion, all the officials of the court and the central government were also absent, like a grand celebration of the Ming Dynasty.

However, only two months after the two got married, Xia Zihan actually fell ill!

Du did not forget to ask the imperial doctors in the palace for diagnosis and treatment, but the results were helpless, and in the end, the fetus in Xia Zihan's womb was dead, and he didn't see Zihan getting better, so he had to send someone to Qizhou to find Dr. Li quickly.

At this time, Xia Zihan was lying on the bed with a pale face, and Du Buyi was personally serving medicine and feeding it to her!

At this time, Zihan said weakly:

"Xianggong, it's all because my physique is too poor, I've been sick since I was a child, but I didn't expect that even our children couldn't be saved"!

Du did not forget to feed Zihan a spoonful of medicine, and then said:

"Madam, don't be afraid, the child is gone, we can regenerate in the future, but your body must recover well!"

Zihan replied:

"Xianggong, I feel that my body is really getting worse and worse now, and I feel like I can't stand it anymore!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Madam, I believe that you are fine, and your body will gradually get better, I have already sent someone to ask for Doctor Li quickly, I believe he will be able to come in the next few days"!

Zihan replied:

"Doctor Li, can you really cure me, I'm dizzy now, my limbs are weak, I'm afraid that as soon as I close my eyes, I won't be able to see you again!"

Du did not forget and then clasped his fingers with Zihan and said:

"I believe in Dr. Li's medical skills, and I will definitely do it"!

Zihan replied:

"I even believe that the Xianggong said so, even if I don't live for myself, I have to hold on to it for the sake of the Xianggong"!

Du didn't forget to cover the quilt for his son, and then said:

"Madame, rest well!"

Then he walked out and secretly shed tears.

Du Bu naturally knew that Xia Zihan was suffering from a wind disease, and now it has reached a serious point, and it may not be able to be saved!

But Du Buyi had to keep the only belief in his heart, that is, he believed that Doctor Li must have a way to save Xia Zihan.

At this time, Xiaoyi walked over, Du did not forget to wipe away his tears, and asked:

"Xiaoyi, is there something wrong"?

Xiao Yi replied:

"I don't think you have to be too sad, Master Hou, maybe Doctor Li can really cure Madame when he comes!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Let's hope"!

Then he said:

"Is there any news that Doctor Li has come to Beijing?"

Xiao Yi replied:

"Not yet"!

Just then, suddenly the gatekeeper came and said:

"Chen Hong is back"!

This Chen Hong is naturally a soldier who did not forget to ask for Doctor Li!

When Du didn't forget to hear this, he quickly became excited and asked:

"Is Doctor Li here"?

The gatekeeper replied:

"Chen Hong seems to have brought a child"!

Du did not forget to hear that he only brought a child, and his mood fell to a low point in an instant, and he hurriedly went out, and saw Chen Hong holding a child, this child was carrying a small basket, very much like a small stone treasure!

Du did not forget to ask the child:

"Are you Xiao Shizhen"?

The child replied:

"My name is Li Shizhen"!

Then he looked at Du Buxing's worried expression on his face and said:

"Uncle Du, you don't have to worry too much, I came over for my father to see Aunt Zihan this time!"

Du Yi did not forget and asked:

"Xiao Shizhen, when did you learn medical skills?"

Xiao Shizhen replied:

"Don't underestimate me, although I am a child, I have learned a lot of medical skills from my father, and people in our village are looking for me to see a doctor now!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"It turns out that you are now Xiao Li's divine doctor, then I will take you to see your Aunt Zihan now!"

Then he took Xiao Shizhen's hand and walked to Zihan's side.

Xiao Shizhen is little hand stretched out directly to Zihan's pulse to check his pulse!

Du did not forget to introduce Xiao Shizhen to Zihan, Zihan looked at Xiao Shizhen, and said very fondly:

"Xiao Shizhen, you can still take the pulse"!

Xiao Shizhen replied:

"Sister, if you are weak, just talk less, I know more"!

Then he took a closer look at Xia Zihan's eyes and tongue!

Then he took out a pill, fed it to Zihan's mouth, and said:

"My dad gave me this medicine to control your condition for a month and it won't deteriorate, I just checked, you do have a wind disease"!

Du did not forget to ask:

"Xiao Shizhen, does your father teach you a way to heal"?

Xiao Shizhen then took out a piece of straw paper, on which were densely written with various handwritings, and said:

"My father said that if it is really a wind disease, you must follow the above recipe to grasp the medicine, and boil it for Aunt Zihan to drink every day, if it is effective, Aunt Zihan will get better within a month, if it doesn't work, the gods can't cure it"!

Du did not forget to go out and arrange people to buy medicine.

At this time, Xiao Shizhen touched Zihan's stomach again, and after taking the medicine, his spirit improved a lot, and he said:

"Little guy, you want to take advantage of me"!

Xiao Shizhen said:

"How can a doctor take advantage of others, I'm not here to examine you!"

Then he asked:

"Aunt Zihan, did you just have a miscarriage"!

Zihan replied:

"yes, how do you know"?

Xiao Shizhen replied:

"I know as soon as I look at your belly, I just checked and found out that you may not be able to have children in the future"!

Zihan hurriedly asked:

"Xiao Shizhen, do you have a solution?"

Xiao Shizhen replied:

"You don't know if you can be cured of your wind disease now, and it's useless to care about those!"

Zihan replied:

"Also, to be alive, it is the happiest thing to watch yourself all day long"!

After listening to this, Xiao Shizhen said:

"You adults, I don't care, I want to go out to breathe, it's too stuffy here"!

Then a man entertained himself in the house.

At this time, Du Buyi came back to the room after being busy, and looked at Zihan, whose face was much better, and his heart calmed down.

This period of the court was even more chaotic, after Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was forced to resign and return to his hometown.

The first assistant Jiang Mian was only in office for less than three months, and was forced to resign and return to his hometown due to the instigation of Qiao Yu and others to oppose the etiquette of Emperor Zhu Houxi!

And the successor Mao Ji is a veteran of the Four Dynasties who resigned and went home because of his opposition to the emperor taking the title of honor for his parents, and now he has returned!

On this day, Zhu Houxi recruited Du Buyi and Shoufu Mao Ji into the palace, and the three of them talked about changing their parents' honorific titles.

I only heard Zhu Houxi say:

"Mao Aiqing, you are also a veteran of the Four Dynasties, you should know how to be flexible, right?"

Mao Ji replied:

"Your Majesty, please ask your ministers to come over today, I don't know what to change"?

At this time, Zhu Houxi looked at Du Bucheng next to him, Du Buyi naturally understood, and immediately said to Mao Ji:

"Your Majesty wants to offer the most exalted position of the emperor to his late biological father"!

When Mao Ji heard this, he immediately said to Emperor Zhu Houxi:

"Your Majesty wants to do this, but how can you put the position of the first emperor"?

At this time, Zhu Houxi shouted angrily at Shoufu Mao Ji:

"I gave you preferential treatment to return to the court as the first assistant, I wanted you to help me, but I didn't expect you to collude with Qiao Yu and a group of friends to oppose me?"

Mao Ji was shocked for a moment, and replied:

"Your Majesty values the minister's outspokenness, so he let the minister sit on this first auxiliary, and now he actually doubts the minister's loyalty to His Majesty, what kind of face does the minister have to do this first auxiliary, please Your Majesty's quasi-minister resign and return to his hometown!"

As soon as Mao Ji said this, the angry Zhu Houxi turned his head and left, and then Du did not forget to come over to persuade Mao Ji:

"Mao Shoufu, why do you want to make the saint angry"?

Mao Ji replied:

"Master Hou, you may have entered the officialdom very shallowly, and you don't understand the strictness of our Ming Dynasty etiquette, Your Majesty has exceeded the etiquette system so much, if you let the old man and I support it so much, won't you want to leave a reputation for eternity?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Your Majesty is already a persistent person, it is difficult to change your mind has been decided, I hope Mao Shoufu can go back to the house and think about it for Your Majesty"!

Mao Ji sighed and replied:

"I think it's just appropriate for me to go back to my hometown to retire, this Jiajing Dynasty is too difficult to be the first assistant"!

Du Yi did not forget and asked:

"Why did Mao Shoufu say that"?

Mao Ji replied:

"I think that when Emperor Zhengde was in power, although he had fun, he never shouted angrily at us civil ministers, and he could also listen to a lot of the words of our civil ministers"!

Then he paused and continued:

"But today's Emperor Jiajing is selfish and vicious, and he shouts angrily at the ministers, and many officials are now in prison because of entering Cambodia"!

Du did not forget and replied:

"Your Majesty won't be like this, will you?"

Mao Ji said again:

"Master Hou, the old man sees that you are very real, and you don't have any scheming, so I am willing to tell you these truths, if you have time, you can go to the cells in the capital to have a look!"

Du did not forget to say:

"Okay"!

Then he went out of the palace with Mao Ji.

Du Buyi took the opportunity to go to several major prison cells in the capital to look at them, and when he inquired, sure enough, almost all the prisoners were officials who were imprisoned for entering Cambodia.

On the second day, when the morning dynasty was over, Du Buyi personally came to Emperor Zhu Houxi to ask about the imprisoned officials!

I just heard Du not forget to say:

"I've counted it, Your Majesty, you have now been imprisoned by more than 100 officials in Beijing"!

After listening to this, Zhu Houxi was also stunned for a moment, and said:

"Is there so many"?

Du did not forget to reply:

"I counted it a few times yesterday"!

At this time, Zhu Houxi replied with a smile:

"Big brother is really idle"?

Du did not forget and said:

"Second brother, I have a reluctant request, I wonder if the second brother can agree to me"?

Zhu Houxi replied:

"Now you actually call me second brother, but I haven't heard you call me big brother like that for a long time!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"You are the emperor now, how dare I call you that every day!"

Zhu Houxi thought for a while, and then said:

"The eldest brother doesn't want to beg the second brother to let me release those imprisoned officials, right?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"So you guessed the second brother"!

Zhu Houxi said:

"Actually, I don't want to lock them up, but I am angry with these people, they always love to oppose me, and they have formed a group with the six ministers of the cabinet and others, I can't move other people, so I can only use these low-level officials to deter them!"

Then he said:

"It's rare for the eldest brother to beg me once, so I promised to let them go, but the eldest brother has to persuade them so that they can all get to know each other in the future!"

Du didn't forget that he thought that the second brother didn't promise himself so easily, but he didn't expect to promise so happily now, so he quickly thanked the second brother and waited for the second brother to release him.

After Zhu Houxi prepared his will and handed it to Du Wuyi, he said:

"Big brother actually saved them, they will definitely be grateful to you, I hope you can do your best to let them be used by us in the future, if not, at least don't let them cling to those old stubborns in the sixth cabinet in the future"!

Du did not forget to reply:

"Well, I'll try"!

Then he took the will and went out of the palace to the prisons to release the people!
