Chapter 40: The Emperor Is Sick

In the first year of Shaosheng of the Great Song Dynasty (1094), the spring was harmonious and the warm breeze was intoxicating. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

An ordinary horse-drawn carriage drove into the city of Tokyo and came all the way to a mansion. Under the tall lintel, the family members standing were all in good spirits.

This is the residence of Cai Jing, the new head of the household department, which is naturally different.

As soon as the carriage stopped, someone greeted it.

Cao Xu, who was in a feather coat and a star, walked out of the carriage and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Cao Xu said: "This is Cai Shangshu's mansion?"

"Exactly, may I ask Your Excellency's name?" said the middle-aged butler.

"Poor road travel Tanzhi, into the drum mountain cultivation for several years, feeling that the sky has changed, so out of the mountain walking, and your family is still fated, specially come to visit. Cao Xu said, took out a letter of worship, and handed it over.

"Dao Chief, please wait a moment, I'll go to Tongyu. The middle-aged housekeeper said, and after taking the post, he hurriedly went to the house.

In Cai's study, Cai Jing looked at the prayer post in his hand.

The middle-aged housekeeper on the side was in a cold sweat, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Master, if you don't find an excuse to send him away, forget it. The middle-aged butler whispered.

Cai Jing shook his head yes and said, "Since people have already come to the door and want to avoid it, how can it be so easy." Let's go, I'm going to see what kind of character it is. ”

Outside Cai's mansion, Cao Xu only waited for a while, and then saw the previous housekeeper walking out with a middle-aged man.

"It turned out that the long road of Drum Mountain arrived, and the old man never greeted him from afar, and he looked at Haihan where he was rude. Cai Jing arched his hand and said.

Cai Shangshu was polite. Cao Xu said.

Looking closely, Cai Jing is in his forties this year, and this person who has been characterized as a traitor by almost all words in later generations looks upright at the moment.

Cao Xu once read the story of Sima Guang smashing the cylinder since he was a child, and Sima Guang has always been defined as the embodiment of wisdom, justice, and light, but in fact?

Hey, history books are written by people! If you are a person, you will have your own subjective position.

So whether Cai Jing is a traitor, is he like Pang Taishi, who was hacked from head to toe. Judgment can only be made after genuine contact.

Subsequently, Cai Jing invited Cao Xu to the mansion, in a side hall, the two of them sat down as guests of honor, and naturally some people sent tea and snacks.

"I don't know why the chief is here?" Cai Jing asked.

Cao Xu's lips moved slightly, and the voice reached Cai Jing's ears, "Is the emperor sick?"

Cai Jing's body shook suddenly, his eyes widened, staring at Cao Xu, his expression changing.

Seeing Cai Jing's performance, a conjecture in Cao Xu's heart has been confirmed. In history, Zhao Xu died young, and he died at the age of only twenty-four, and it turned out that he was really sick.

Cao Xu said: "In September last year, the Ziwei Emperor Star was in full bloom, and the poor road happened to observe the sky at night, but inadvertently found that there was a black gas in it that flashed away, so there is this inference. Cai Shangshu is a close minister of the official family, and you can know the truth in it."

Cai Jing waved his hand, and all the guards around him retreated, and he said in a deep voice: "The Taoist is really a master. I don't know what to do. ”

Cao Xu said: "Black Evil Chong Emperor Star, what the result is, I have to meet the official family before I can reach a conclusion." ”

Cai Jing didn't dare to delay, and immediately arranged for Cao Xu to stay, and then didn't care that today was his day off, so he left Cai's mansion in a hurry.

In the afternoon, the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhang Dun, quietly came to Cai Jing's mansion.

Zhang Dian is an old man in his fifties, with a solemn beard, a thin face, and a simple casual clothes.

"The people of the mountains and wilderness have traveled to Tanzhi and have seen Zhang Xianggong. Cao Xu arched his hand and said.

Zhang Dian looked up and down at the young man in his twenties, with a vision in his eyes and an extraordinary bearing, and the suspicion in his heart gradually dissipated, perhaps, a trace of hope rose in Zhang Dan's heart.

The emperor's physical condition is one of the highest secrets of a feudal dynasty, and after Zhang Dian got the news from Cai Jing, he immediately entered the palace to play Zhao Xu, and investigated the people who might know Zhao Xu's physical condition one by one, and naturally there would be no results in the end.

Now, Zhao Xu is waiting for news in the palace, and Zhang Duan does not have much time.

"The tour chief is polite. Zhang Dian said.

In a side hall of Cai's mansion, the two of them sat down one after another, and Zhang Dian asked, "Is what You Dao Chang said before true?"

"I think it must be those people from Si Tianjian who have different opinions. Cao Xu said.

Zhang Dian nodded, Si Tian was in charge of observing the celestial phenomena and calculating the heavy responsibility of the almanac, such a major matter, if he failed to find any signs, the consequences would be .......

Cao Xu pointed to his eyes and said, "It's not that Si Tianjian is incompetent, if it weren't for these eyes, I wouldn't have the chance to observe the heavens." ”

Zhang Dian asked with interest: "I don't know what is different from the divine eyes of the Taoist Chief?"

"My eyes can be seen from the top to the stars, and the state of the person can be checked below. Cao Xu boasted without shame.

"Can you give it a try? Zhang Dian said.

"You have to do it. Cao Xu said.

Zhang Duan clapped his hands, and then several people walked in from outside the door, including men and women, old and young.

"Just stand in a row. Cao Xu said.

After the people who walked in stood up, Cao Xu activated the "Sun and Moon True Pupil", and the golden light and silver light appeared in the pupils, and he looked towards the people in the hall.

After a while, the vision in Cao Xu's eyes disappeared, and as soon as he waved, someone immediately sent pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Cao Xu waved his pen, and between the dragon and the phoenix, he had already written down the physical condition of the people in the hall, and after drying the ink on the paper, he reached out and handed it to Zhang Dian.

"Zhang Xianggong can order someone to verify it. Cao Xu said.

This kind of thing, Zhang Dian is naturally not hypocritical. Immediately, someone took the paper written by Cao Xu and left.

It didn't take long for two old men with medicine boxes to walk in and say to Zhang Dun: "There is no mistake or omission in the diagnosis of the chief of the path. The old two were convinced. ”

As he spoke, he saluted Cao Xu.

Cao Xu hurriedly helped the two people up, he had already sensed that someone was secretly watching, he thought it was Zhang Dan's guard, but he didn't expect it to be two doctors.

"The two old gentlemen were too modest. Cao Xu said.

"The tour chief is really a god's eye. Zhang Dian said happily.

Putting aside the celestial phenomena and anything, but this miraculous medical skill has already made him overjoyed.

Since learning about Zhao Xu's physical condition, Zhang Duan often can't sleep at night, which is one of his most serious heart problems.

"Let's go, enter the palace immediately, even if I have a big relationship, I will shoulder it today. Zhang Dian said excitedly.
