Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 815
Although Shi Zhongchen was very sick, his eyesight was not bad, to the point where he couldn't tell who he was when he saw someone.When he saw Wu Meiniang's face, he was taken aback!
Wu Meiniang is now wearing a wide monk robe, which makes her figure more graceful and charming. In Li Zhi's eyes, she is naturally full of enthusiasm, but in Shi Zhongchen's eyes, it is just a pile of meat covered with a layer of meat. It's just cloth, there is no interest at all!

Shi Zhongchen thought to himself: "Isn't this person Wu Meiniang, the little maid who flattered Wang Ping'an and recognized Wang Ping'an as her uncle, she was taken care of by me! But, she is dead, she was executed by my order, why? But she came back to life and shaved her head...ah, she has become a nun!"

Others are vague about Wu Meiniang's identity, even if they know, they can only pretend not to know, such as those concubines and nuns, but Shi Zhongchen is different, who is he afraid of?He didn't need to be afraid of Wang Ping'an at all, Wang Ping'an had to call him uncle when he saw him, and Wu Meiniang had to call him uncle in terms of seniority!

Shi Zhongchen doesn't need to dress up and doesn't know, and he is not afraid of being hated at all, who dares to do anything to him, if he is in a hurry, he dares to strangle the queen to death, let alone a little Wu Meiniang!
Shi Zhongchen got older and hotter. After being shocked, he immediately calmed down. He understood that he had been sold by Wang Pingan. He couldn't really kill her. As for how the trap was set up, there's no need to investigate.Things have come to this point, it is useless to think about the past, as long as you think about what to do in the future!

Betrayal, betrayal, obedience and disobedience, Shi Zhongchen has seen many of these things.He himself is a master at betraying others. If he hadn't been serving as an insider in the palace and betrayed Li Yuan, how could Li Shimin's mutiny succeed so easily?Back then, when Yu Chigong rushed up to Li Yuan with a bloody weapon in his hand to ask Li Yuan to abdicate, Shi Zhongchen was there at that time!

The old eunuch has long been used to betraying and being betrayed!

Shi Zhongchen stood quietly behind the curtain, motionless, and did not make a sound. He was neither angry nor thinking about taking revenge on Wang Pingan. He just stared at Wu Meiniang, wondering how he could give her kill!

He was loyal to the first emperor Li Shimin, and Wu Meiniang was Li Shimin's former concubine, but now she serves the father and son and seduces the current emperor. This is something he cannot accept anyway. This is a kind of blasphemy against the first emperor. Big disrespect!

He didn't have any idea about Li Zhi, he only thought that Li Zhi was bewitched and was a victim, all the faults were Wu Meiniang's fault, and the person who brought her into the palace must be Queen Wang... The women who were disrespectful to the late emperor will all die!
Standing quietly, the old eunuch head stared at Wu Meiniang fiercely like a wolf, as if he wanted to bite her to death and eat her alive, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart!
Wu Meiniang sent Li Zhi away and returned to the palace. She was thinking about going to bed and resting for a while, but suddenly she had a feeling that made her hair stand on end, as if someone was watching her secretly, treating herself as a prey!
She was horrified, she had never felt this kind of feeling before, and she didn't have it just now, why did she feel this way when the emperor left?She looked towards the main hall, and looked around, but found nothing, only the curtain at a hall gate in the distance was shaking slightly, other than that, there was nothing unusual.

Wu Meiniang put on her belt, picked up a candlestick, pulled out the candles, used the candlestick as a weapon, and walked slowly towards the curtain. When she opened the curtain, there was no one and nothing behind it, and the strong fear The feeling, with her action, disappeared!

Seeing that Wu Meiniang seemed to have found himself, Shi Zhongchen walked slowly to the back door and out of the palace gate without making a sound, out of the main hall, quickly flashed into the bushes, waited for a while, saw that Wu Meiniang did not come out, He took a few breaths and left.

Shi Zhongchen thought to himself: "If I had been a few years earlier, I would have gone in now and killed Wu Meiniang, a witch, but I can't do it now, I am old and in poor health. Killed. This woman is very strong, I'm afraid I won't be her match!"

He didn't follow the same path to the side door, but went to another small door, opened it and walked out.He is the chief steward of the palace, and he knows everything inside and out, no one will notice him when he goes in and out.

Shi Zhongchen went out of Gengyou Hall, walked back and walked around to the front, saw that Shi Aiguo was still waiting at the outside steps, circling in a hurry!

Shi Zhongchen asked: "Why didn't you go with the emperor?"

Shi Aiguo hurriedly said: "Aren't I worried about elder brother? I only followed the emperor for a short distance before finding an excuse to leave. Eldest brother, there is a woman in that palace. Who is it? Do I know her?"

Shi Zhongchen thought for a while, why not bring his brother in now and kill Wu Meiniang?

No, doing so will implicate my brother. I am old and have a few days to live, so it doesn't matter, as long as things are done in a secret, no one can find out, and my brother will not be implicated.But if the brothers go to work together, they may have to be tracked down afterwards.

It's normal for a murder case to happen in the palace. Shi Zhongchen killed the little eunuchs not one by one, but in groups. Otherwise, the little eunuchs couldn't hate him so much, but he couldn't bear to part with his own. Brother dies.

If Wu Meiniang died, she couldn't be carried out of the palace like a little eunuch, and just find a place to bury her.Once she dies, there will be endless investigations, so this matter must be handled carefully, and more importantly, if Wu Meiniang dies, he will startle the snake, and he will have no way to deal with the queen.If Queen Wang does not die, then maybe she will find a demon girl to enter the palace in the future, so she is more harmful than Wu Meiniang, and she cannot be kept.

Shi Zhongchen is a great loyal minister, but he is only loyal to the first emperor Li Shimin. As for others, like the queen, let alone loyalty, he doesn't regard her as a human being at all, let alone killing a queen, it is considered killing her family , he is not soft-hearted!
Shi Zhongchen said: "It's nothing, it's just a beautiful woman. It's normal for the emperor to be greedy for beauty. It's fine when the freshness wears off. Don't take this woman seriously."

Shi Aiguo snorted, looked at the palace gate, and said nothing more, feeling a little puzzled, but not to the point where he had to ask.

Shi Zhongchen said: "I'm going to the Ganlu Hall now to listen to the morning court. You can go with me, but don't enter the hall. Just wait outside the gate. When the court is over, keep Wang Ping'an and say that I want to see him. Let him treat me."

Shi Aiguo agreed, helped his eldest brother, and the two went to the Ganlu Palace together.

When Shi Zhongchen arrived at the Ganlu Hall, the court meeting had already begun, and the ministers were excited and discussing loudly, while Li Zhi sat on the dragon chair with a blank expression, listening to the ministers' discussions.

Shi Zhongchen walked up the steps slowly from the side and behind, and stood behind Li Zhi.Seeing him coming, Li Zhi turned around and asked happily: "Loyal minister, are you getting better? I'm still going to visit you!"

Seeing that the emperor's joy did not seem to be fake, Shi Zhongchen felt a burst of warmth in his heart, the emperor is very kind, and he deserves to be loved by himself.The idea of ​​getting rid of the two scourges of Queen Wang and Wu Meiniang became more determined.

Shi Zhongchen said in a low voice: "Thank you, my majesty, for remembering me. After taking the medicine, my body has improved a lot, and now I can go out to work in the field."

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Well, I also hope that you will recover from your illness soon. After a while, I will let Wubing show you and prescribe a good medicine. After you take the medicine, your body will recover soon. gone."

Shi Zhongchen bent over and said with a smile: "This old slave thinks so too!"

At this time, Changsun Wuji was below, and said: "Your Majesty, this veteran thinks that it is indeed a wise move to make the eldest son of the emperor the Crown Prince, and this veteran agrees!"

Li Zhi turned his head, looked at Changsun Wuji, and said with a smile: "Okay, since uncle agrees, then let's do this! Gentlemen, if you still have objections, if you have any, please raise them now, don't wait for the matter to be settled." Come down and talk about it privately, say something or nothing!"

Shi Zhongchen's heart trembled, he really was talking about the establishment of the crown prince, and Li Zhong was really Li Zhong, it seemed that he had guessed correctly.In this way, it is certain that Wu Meiniang, the witch, was brought into the palace by Queen Wang.Queen Wang, this bastard woman, actually caused troubles in the palace for such a thing, she really deserves to be killed by a thousand knives!

Queen Wang used tricks to make Li Zhong the crown prince, which was no big deal, but she never should have brought Wu Meiniang into the palace.Wu Meiniang served father and son for two generations, Shi Zhongchen couldn't accept this no matter what!

This is a small court meeting. The ministers in the palace are all important ministers, but the important ministers and the important ministers have different thoughts. Although Changsun Wuji is domineering, he can't cover the sky with one hand. Just face to face.

If you want to say who can quarrel the most in the court, it must be Song Guogong Xiao Yu!Coincidentally, Xiao Yu is also a member of Shangshu Province, and he is Zuo Pushe.But Xiao Yu was kicked away by Changsun Wuji a long time ago, and it was just a name. Although he was Zuo Pushe, he didn't even have an office in Shangshu Province. To put it bluntly, it is being ostracized, just a name.

Xiao Yu was the brother-in-law of Emperor Sui Yang, his sister was the empress of Emperor Yang of Sui, his grandfather was Emperor Xuan of Later Liang Dynasty Xiao Jian, and his great-grandfather was Prince Zhaoming Xiao Tong.Speaking of it, he and Concubine Xiao Shu are somewhat related, but in fact, this kind of relationship has been ignored, it is too far away.Moreover, Xiao Yu never regarded Concubine Xiao Shu as a relative, and Concubine Xiao Shu never recognized him, and even Changsun Wuji didn't count him when he wanted to repair the Xiao clan.

In real history, Xiao Yu died before Li Shimin, but now he is still alive, but Li Shimin is dead.Xiao Yu didn't have any power, and he never said anything in the early morning court. In Wang Ping's words, this old gentleman made soy sauce every day, and never made vinegar once.

Xiao Yu especially liked to quarrel. He quarreled with Yang Jian during Sui Wendi, Yang Guang during Sui Yang, Li Yuan during Tang Gaozu, and Li Shimin during the first emperor. There was time to quarrel with Li Zhi.In short, he is a quarrel professional.

But even though Xiao Yu can quarrel, he always makes sense every time he quarrels. Even Li Shimin admits that although he can't quarrel with him, Xiao Yu is really good for the country. Honest minister.

After listening to Li Zhi's questioning, Xiao Yu came out of court and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's inappropriate. The matter of my crown prince now is not a question of who should be appointed, but why should I be appointed now? The emperor is in his prime, so don't rush to appoint a crown prince. Yes, and the princes are all young and don't have much moral character, so it's too early to establish a prince now!"

As a minister, it is correct for him to put forward this point of view. It is not for personal gain, but for the minister of the country, which should be the behavior.

But when Changsun Wuji heard this, he raised his eyes immediately, and said loudly, "What do you mean, shouldn't my Tang Dynasty have a prince?"

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes and cheered up immediately, he said: "The old man didn't say that there shouldn't be, but why are you in such a hurry? Think about it, from the previous Sui dynasty to our dynasty, how could there be a child as a prince? And If the eldest son of the emperor is established as the crown prince, which eldest son of the emperor will really ascend the throne?"

Changsun Wuji was at a loss for words. Although Xiao Yu hated it, what he said was the truth, and he couldn't refute it.He looked at Wang Pingan, wanting Wang Pingan to stand up and fight against Xiao Yu.

Wang Pingan immediately turned his head to the side, pretending to look at the pillars, and thought: "Look at me, I'm just a dozen of soy sauce!"

Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu are big enemies, both he and Du Ruhui were squeezed out by Xiao Yu back then, and this big hatred hasn't weakened for decades!
Fang Xuanling immediately stood up and asked: "Master Xiao, is it possible that you still want to make the descendants of the Xiao family the crown prince? You have benefited from Concubine Xiao Shu, and you want to wait for her son to grow up, and instead of becoming a prince, you will become a prince." Lixian? Why do you say that the youngest son of the emperor will be more virtuous than the eldest son of the emperor when he grows up?"

Xiao Yu's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "How did the old man say, don't spit blood!"

The two old men raised their hands, as if they were going to fight, and pulled each other's beards!

Li Zhi was threatened by Queen Wang last night, and he was very affectionate with Wu Meiniang. He was afraid that Queen Wang would really harm Wu Meiniang, so he agreed to make Li Zhong the prince, but now he regretted it.Anyway, he's never been able to make up his mind all his life, so it's not bad!
Li Zhi said: "It's too early to establish a crown prince now? He's not sick, what do you think?"

The court ministers cursed in their hearts together, why did they ask Wang Pingan again, what kind of onion is he?

Wang Pingan braced himself, stood up, and said: "I think that... since we want to examine the prince's character, it is better to set up an exam to test them. Whoever does well in the exam will be appointed. This is the most appropriate way!"

Changsun Wuji was amused when he heard it, and said, "Yes, let's test the prince, this method is the most fair!"

The ministers thought to themselves: "It's fair, except for the eldest son of the emperor, the other princes can't speak fluently. What kind of test are you taking? Can you compare who can eat milk and shit better?"

Li Zhi said oh, he also felt that this method was too biased!

Xiao Yu sneered, do you want to fight?I have never been afraid of anyone!The king of quarrels speaks out, number one in the world, he only said one word, and the whole hall was silenced.

Xiao Yu said: "Emperor Gaozu and the late emperor both appointed adult princes as crown princes, so is it possible that the emperor is stronger than the emperor Gaozu and the late emperor?"

Changsun Wuji was so angry that his mouth was twisted. He did a lot of preparation work, but Xiao Yu wiped it all out with one sentence.If Li Zhong can't be made the prince, then he has to kill Concubine Xiao Shu to weaken Li Sujie's variable?

Wang Ping'an thought: "I will stand again in a few years? At that time, Wu Meiniang may also give birth to a son, but it will be easier for her!"
