Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 813 Must get rid of that woman
The more secluded hall, the name of the hall, really few people come.

After dawn, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang were still asleep, neither of them got up, and no one came to call them outside the hall.

Empress Wang didn't send any maids to stay here last night, and as the empress of the main palace, she was going through needles for the emperor and a little nun. It's embarrassing to talk about it, and of course she has no interest in telling others.As for the Ganlu Hall, until dawn, no one knew that the emperor stayed in Gengyou Hall last night.

Last night, when Mi Xiaomiao waited for the emperor to leave, he hurried to find Shi Zhongchen, wanting to tell Director Shi about this matter, firstly to exempt himself from responsibility, and secondly to flatter him.Shi Zhongchen is going to die, and the chief servants in the palace must be replaced. For a self-motivated eunuch, this is an extraordinary period, and one cannot be careless at all. It is very important to have a good relationship with the leader. , It is related to the "official career" of the rest of my life!

Mi Xiaomiao came to Guanyun Hall, which is the residence of Shi Zhongchen, very close to Ganlu Hall.Guanyun Palace is not the place where Shi Zhongchen should live.Because it is close to the palace wall and Xuanwu Gate, if you climb up here, you can see the outside of the city and Xuanwu Gate, so the obvious purpose of this place is for the emperor to enjoy the scenery. Later, the Daming Palace was built, which is indeed true. For the emperor to watch the scenery.But the actual current purpose is to supervise the guards of the Xuanwu Gate, and to observe the movements there at any time.

In the early Tang Dynasty, there was no rule for eunuchs to supervise generals, and eunuchs were not powerful enough to abolish the emperor, but any abnormal thing started with a normal reason and gradually became abnormal.

As the general manager, Shi Zhongchen has both power and qualifications to supervise the guards' every move. Speaking of which, a super general like Xue Rengui must be regarded as Shi Zhongchen's subordinates and obey Shi Zhongchen's orders.Shi Zhongchen himself would not rebel, and he would not have thought that the eunuchs in the future would regard his behavior as a routine and stick to it all the time, so he took the initiative to ask to live in the Guanyun Palace and supervise the Xuanwu Gate.

But now Shi Zhongchen is already in his twilight years. The sudden death of the first emperor caused irreparable damage to his body. He also knew that he would not live long, and it was time to tell the truth about his death!

Shi Zhongchen was lying on the bed, with his younger brother taking care of him, blowing a bowl of medicinal soup, trying to feed him medicine.

Shi Aiguo brought the medicine bowl to his elder brother, and said, "Brother, the medicine is almost ready, you can drink it."

Shi Zhongchen waved his hand and said: "I don't drink anymore, it's useless if I drink it. I'm so old, how long can I live well even if I drink the medicine? It makes my mouth full of bitterness all day long, and it's extremely uncomfortable. Why bother?" Come on."

Shi Aiguo sighed: "Then, should we add some honey? I'm afraid that the honey will conflict with the medicine's properties, which will reduce the medicine's potency!"

"No need, why are you so wordy!" Shi Zhongchen said.

The little eunuch outside stepped in quietly and said, "Grandpa, Mr. Mi is here and said he has something important to see Grandpa!"

Shi Aiguo frowned and said: "Didn't he send someone here just now, and he said something about praying for blessings. What is there to report? Does the emperor ask us if he prayed for the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition?"

Shi Zhongchen said: "Let him come in, he must have encountered a difficult matter. This kid, Xiao Miao, is not bad, and he can be your assistant in the future. Treat him better now and win over him, so you can rest assured when you use him. "

Shi Aiguo hummed, and waved his hand to let the little eunuch call Mi Xiaomiao in.

Mi Xiaomiao came outside the hall, took off her shoes first, and walked quietly into the hall wearing only socks.He did this to show his filial piety, for fear of disturbing Shi Zhongchen's recuperation by making noise.

Shi Aiguo saw Mi Xiaomiao's obsequious look, and thought: "This guy is quite sensible, I guess he can handle him well in the future, brother is always right in judging people!"

Mi Xiaomiao came to the bed, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Godfather, are you feeling better? My son is worried. As soon as the emperor comes out of the palace and my son is free, I will hurry over to see you!"

Don't look at him being so bullish when he was in Ganlu Palace, forcing the little eunuchs to call him father, but when he came to Shi Zhongchen, he had to be called godfather too!

Shi Zhongchen hummed, and didn't sit up from the bed. He didn't even look at Mi Xiaomiao, but asked, "The emperor is out of the palace, but you are going to pray for the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition? Which Buddhist hall are you going to?"

Mi Xiaomiao groaned, and said: "It's Gengyou Hall, quite far away from Ganlu Hall. I don't know why the emperor wants to go there. If the emperor doesn't say anything, my son doesn't dare to ask!"

"Who followed to serve?" Shi Zhongchen asked again.

Mi Xiaomiao knew that the critical moment had come, and now was the time to get rid of himself, he said: "No one is waiting, the emperor left alone. Well, he is still carrying a food box, which contains exquisite side dishes and good wine. Yes Yes, the emperor also specially ordered his son to prepare two sachets for him, which are a pair, embroidered with dragons and phoenixes!"

Shi Zhongchen groaned, this time he sat up, Shi Aiguo hurriedly supported him, and put a pillow on his back.Shi Zhongchen wondered: "Didn't you say to pray for the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition? Why prepare these things? What's the matter with the sachet?"

Mi Xiaomiao hurriedly said: "Return to godfather. The emperor has this order, so how dare my son not obey, of course I have to prepare two high-quality sachets for the old man, but it is too late now, so the ones prepared are the first emperor and the old man." Two sachets one after the other. When the emperor saw the sachet, he didn't say it was against the rules, but put it in his arms and took it away."

Although there were not many words, the key points of the matter were all expressed.

Shi Zhongchen frowned, and said: "Food boxes, sachets, don't need people to wait on them, how about a quiet hall?"

Shi Aiguo said: "Is the emperor going to meet someone? Is it a woman?"

Shi Zhongchen glared at him, and said: "Nonsense, this is the palace, is there a man in the emperor to see!"

Shi Aiguo laughed dryly, thinking about it was right, but who could he see in the palace?The people in the palace, the emperor wants to see, there is no need to make such preparations, it’s fine to go alone, with a food box and a sachet... What are you doing, like a folk boy, go find your sweetheart Tryst failed?

Shi Zhongchen closed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Before the emperor left, did he do anything unusual?"

"It's not abnormal, the emperor just took a bath, changed his clothes, let his son take care of him, and combed his hair well!" Mi Xiaomiao said.

Shi Zhongchen opened his eyes, looked at Mi Xiaomiao, was silent for a while, and then asked: "Which concubine is the emperor's favorite recently? What happened in court? Just say it will be done within three days! "

Mi Xiaomiao felt hesitant, no wonder he can be the big manager, and he hit the point when he asked.He said: "The emperor has been a little depressed recently, but in the past few days, he suddenly always went to Concubine Xiao Shu to visit the little prince. As for the court, there is a small matter, that is, the eldest grandson Xiangye has arrested a group of Goguryeo spies. These spies surrendered and wanted to send them back to Yingzhou to deal with the anti-Wang Xiaoke. By the way, the eldest grandson Xiangye also recommended a man named Xiao Situ, who was said to be a small official who raised horses. He was going to be sent to follow Goguryeo The spies are going to Yingzhou together!"

After he said these words, he felt proud, look, how well I said this, there is not a single nonsense, but the matter is clearly stated, and all the key points have been stated!He was proud of it, but suffered a heavy blow.

Shi Zhongchen said: "You talk too much nonsense, but you don't get to the point. Who is that Xiao Situi recommended by Mr. Wuji? Why do you recommend him, and what are the reasons?"

Mi Xiaomiao grunted, bit the bullet, and added: "Godfather is right in scolding, my son didn't make his words clear. The chief of Goguryeo said that his former mentor was named Xiao, and he was a descendant of the royal family of the Qi and Liang dynasties. What's more, anyway, he has a good impression of the surname Xiao, and then the elder grandson mentioned Xiao Sixui."

He paused, and then said: "Master Changsun is capable of anything, even a petty official who raises horses is capable, he knows all about it. By the way, godfather, my son heard that Concubine Xiao Shu held a banquet to celebrate. Si Tui is her clan uncle... or something, the son doesn't quite know!" His voice was getting weaker and weaker, but the matter was clearly stated.

Shi Zhongchen was stunned and didn't speak for a long time, the hall was silent.Neither Shi Aiguo nor Mi Xiaomiao dared to make a sound, they kept their heads down to accompany each other.

Suddenly, Shi Zhongchen spoke, he said: "Concubine Xiao Shu is not far from death, it seems that the emperor is going to make the little prince the crown prince."

Shi Aiguo and Mi Xiaomiao said at the same time, they could vaguely guess something, but they couldn't guess about the Prince Li.

Mi Xiaomiao said in surprise: "Master Grandson guessed this, that's why he promoted Xiao Siti? But since the little prince is going to be crowned prince, why is Concubine Xiao Shu not far from death?"

Shi Aiguo yelled: "Presumptuous, are you supposed to ask these things? Don't go on! Don't tell anyone about this, or you'll kill yourself!"

Shi Zhongchen waved his hand and ordered Mi Xiaomiao to go down.

Mi Xiaomiao crawled out of the hall, and when he put on his shoes, beads of sweat fell from his forehead, his whole body was drenched, covered in cold sweat.I thought: "Things in this palace are too complicated, like a mess, it's all messed up, and it confuses me."

In the hall, Shi Aiguo whispered: "Brother, brother, I didn't understand!"

Shi Zhongchen sighed, his younger brother still hadn't been through the big storm, and he didn't know much about the method of killing people.He said: "Isn't this obvious? Changsun Wuji wanted to make Li Zhong the crown prince, but the emperor wanted to make Su Jie, so he saved his hand and planned to make Su Jie an orphan. But why did the emperor suddenly think of Li Zhong as the crown prince?" The matter of the crown prince, and his abnormal behavior today..."

Unable to figure out why, Shi Zhongchen lay back on the bed, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Shi Aiguo sat next to him, dumbfounded. He felt that he was not qualified to be the chief executive. He thought that he was not clear about the affairs of the palace, but now it seems that he is completely blind. !
After a long time, Shi Zhongchen sat up again and said, "Give me the medicine, I want to drink it. Also, I'm going to court tomorrow to see what happened!"

Shi Aiguo hurriedly brought the medicine to his brother and asked, "What can I do?"

Shi Zhongchen snorted, drank the medicine in one breath, and said: "What can be the matter? The matter of establishing the crown prince will be decided tomorrow. Do you think this is a major matter? Also, the state reserve and Chujun need to be discussed by the ministers. It will take time to examine the conduct of the princes, but if we talk about the establishment of a prince tomorrow, do you think it is abnormal?"

Shi Aiguo was taken aback, and said: "Tomorrow, we will talk about the establishment of the crown prince? Isn't this too hasty? What's going on here!"

Shi Zhongchen narrowed his eyes, slowly lay back on the bed, and said: "If my prediction is correct, the empress must have resorted to means. But what means did the empress use? This must be clarified. If she dares to coerce Your Majesty, if you do something that is sorry to His Majesty, then I must stop it!"

Shi Aiguo sighed and didn't speak, but he thought in his heart: "Stop it, how can you stop it? This is not the era of Xuanwumen. At the beginning, the elder brother could help the first emperor and kill the prince and King Qi, but now he is old and weak , I have more than enough heart but not enough strength!"

Shi Zhongchen was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, but he was thinking: "The late emperor entrusted the emperor to me. No one can be sorry to the emperor, otherwise he will be sorry to the late emperor. Anyone who is sorry to the late emperor will have to die! What can the queen do?" Well, if she dares to do something to disrupt the palace, then I will get rid of her while I can still move. Anyway... I don't have a good life for a few days. Before I go to see the late emperor, I will do something for him again !"

dawn.

Shi Zhongchen dragged his sick body and waited in the Ganlu Hall for a long time, but the emperor did not come back. He stood up and said, "Our family is going to welcome the emperor in person. Patriotism, you go with our family."

Shi Aiguo agreed, supported his elder brother, took a few young eunuchs, and went to Gengyou Hall together.When they arrived at Gengyou Hall, Shi Aiguo asked them to wait outside and knocked on the door himself.After knocking for a long time, no one answered the door.

Shi Zhongchen snorted, and thought: "Understood, I understand the methods used by the empress. She must have found a stunning beauty from outside the palace to seduce the emperor, and the origin of this woman must be unknown, and it is estimated that she may be from a good family." Women, even those with husbands and sons, why are you here to accompany the emperor? Just take them into the palace and make them concubines, so there is nothing to worry about in a ring with Concubine Xiao Shu!"

For Gongdou, Shi Zhongchen is a top expert, equivalent to the level of Dugu Qiubai.At this stage, if nothing else is mentioned, just talking about Gong Dou, Wu Meiniang, Queen Wang, Concubine Xiao Shu, even counting Wang Ping'an and Changsun Wuji, these people are not his opponents together!
The muscles on Shi Zhongchen's face twitched, and he thought to himself: "It doesn't matter which bitch she is, or whose family's female family she is, if she dares to enter the palace to confuse the emperor, it is a capital crime, I must kill her!"

The door couldn't be knocked open, so he simply didn't knock, walked along the fence, and arrived at the side door after a short walk.But the side door was also closed, Shi Aiguo rushed forward, but saw that the door was locked, he turned around and said, "Brother, there is no key, why don't you ask someone to find the key now?"

Shi Zhongchen said: "The key is right here, why bother to look for it. It's time for you to understand the twists and turns of the palace." He stepped forward, stretched his hand to the wall next to the gate, and pulled out a small Brick, took out a key from inside, went straight forward to unlock the door, and walked in.

Shi Aiguo was stunned as he watched from behind. He never imagined that it would be so easy to enter such an important place as Gengyoutang!

Shi Zhongchen turned around and threw the key to him, saying: "Lock the door, and then go to the front and knock on the door." As he spoke, he walked towards the palace tremblingly, and entered the palace through the small door.

Right at the door of the apse, Shi Zhongchen took a few breaths, hid in the curtain, and stared viciously at the bed like a hunting wolf!
