Eunuch's Declaration of Loyalty

Chapter 92

"Your Majesty, I implore the Emperor to accept concubines!" The trembling old minister stood in the hall with an expression of death-defying expression and raised his voice.

"However, there is no shortage of people in the harem." The emperor sitting on the high seat flipped through the medical books in his hand without raising his head, and said very calmly.Even at this time, he never leaves the medical book.

This situation once made many courtiers feel that the emperor was outrageous, so they specially went to Yushui Villa to ask the Empress Dowager Liu Qingtang to come forward and ask her to teach the emperor.

Liu Qingtang asked the reason, Xiao Le'an only replied that listening to the quarrels and long speeches below was mostly useless, and instead of wasting time in a daze, it's better to read more medical books.Liu Qingtang raised her eyebrows, and specially stayed in the capital of Yujing City for a day, and sat on the sidelines listening to their court meeting in the early morning of the second day.

Xiao Le'an did seldom turn his eyes away from the medical books, but he listened to what every courtier said, and often made the right decision in the end, listening to Liu Qingtang, it was much better than what she did when she was young many.In this case, it seems that the little habit of reading medical books at this time is not a big deal.Empress Dowager Liu Qingtang felt relieved and proud, and returned to Yushui Villa without saying anything.

Even the empress dowager acquiesced, and the emperor insisted on doing so. The ministers had nothing to say, so they could only shut up and act as if they didn't see it.If this kind of thing can be tolerated, then the emperor's choice of concubine is something these ministers absolutely cannot bear.

The emperor is obsessed with medical skills, as long as the government is not abandoned, it will be fine. These ministers are still very convinced by the emperor's handling of the government.Just looking at the history of the Southern Dynasties, even those surrounding countries, none of the emperors of a country would turn their harem into a... place to collect all kinds of patients.

The so-called harem that the emperor said was not short of people was true, but none of the people in his harem were normal, they were all sick women in bed.In this way, let alone conceive an heir for the emperor, it is impossible to even serve the emperor to bed.Every time the emperor went to the harem, he would take a group of imperial physicians to take the pulse and prescribe medicine to see if the condition of the so-called concubines improved, and then left after seeing the condition.

It's not wrong to say that he doesn't care about the concubine, but that's exactly how a doctor treats a patient.The women in the emperor's harem were regardless of their status. There were ladies from officials and women from common people's families, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they all had incurable diseases or intractable diseases that attracted the emperor's interest.

Seeing that the emperor is in his 20s and has no heirs, he is fully prepared to spend his life with medical skills, how can a group of courtiers feel at ease.Originally, the heirs of the Southern Dynasty were withered, and the previous emperor had not left any heirs, so he could only let his son, the prince, inherit the throne. If the master had not given birth to a child, then the Southern Dynasty would really have no successors. Well, it's going to be a mess by then.

The Southern Dynasty was flourishing, and the soldiers were strong and strong, and no neighboring countries dared to move, so a group of ministers who had no major incidents to keep them busy began to stare at the emperor's harem all day long.Of course, these people also have selfish motives. Their daughters have reached the marriageable age one by one, and they all want to send them to the palace to fight for their future, but the daughters are healthy and healthy, but they still can't enter the palace. How can they be so depressed.

"Your Majesty, please think about the heirs!" The old minister was about to burst into tears. There are seven or eight beautiful granddaughters in his family!

"Oh." Xiao Le'an sighed, and continued: "Since Ai Qing said so, then I will choose some more women to fill the harem. Didn't two of them go out of the palace a few days ago?"

Those who can leave the palace either die of illness or are cured.Regarding this, it is another headache for the ministers. This emperor's master only finds those patients who are seriously ill and have never seen such symptoms to be taken into the palace, and they will be released from the palace after they are cured. The harem became a hospital.

There was also a wealthy family who heard about this and tried to send their son who had been sick for many years to the palace to seek medical treatment. Xiao Le'an was interested in the man's illness, even if the other party was a man, he waved his hand and let him into the harem to raise him In the end, it took five years to cure it and sent it back. The rich man was so happy that he worshiped the emperor as a Bodhisattva.Now the man who was cured has become an official and holds an important position as a counselor.

At the beginning, a minister stood up and said it was wrong, because his niece was also one of the few who was cured and sent out of the palace, but the emperor said lightly: "Bring her into the palace and heal her illness so that she can choose a good son-in-law and marry her." , you are not happy, otherwise Ai Qing can send the consultation fee if she is not satisfied." The minister choked and fell into the hall on the spot.

Seeing this, the rest of the people were in an uproar, only the emperor stepped forward to wake him up unhurriedly, and said leisurely: "Aiqing is getting angry when she is old. If you still want to devote yourself to the Southern Dynasty, come to Xu Gonggong later." Get the prescription here, remember to drink the medicine three times a day."

The emperor's unreliable places are as many as the stars in the sky, but the hateful thing is that his unreliable places are not related to political affairs, and the ministers are not easy to take care of them, so they can only watch him confidently and indifferently.

Some ministers who experienced the previous Huo Emperor and Empress Dowager Liu suddenly remembered that time, at least the rulers at that time were reliable and had the demeanor of a great country.Now the emperor has envoys from other countries coming to see him, and these ministers are all worried that the emperor will suddenly be unreliable and regardless of his identity, come forward to give someone a pulse and prescribe a prescription.It's not that he hasn't done this kind of thing, but it's all against officials of their own Southern Dynasty.

Sometimes the two blushing and thick-necked ministers arguing at the court meeting needed the emperor to make a decision, but he would suddenly say, "Ming Shangshu seems to be suffering from serious losses at night, and he must be very tired at night. As for Fang Shangshu , I see that your complexion is blue, and I am afraid that you are seriously ill, so stay here later and let me feel your pulse."

Of course, in the end, Fang Shangshu came out of the palace with a red face, and he also won the final victory in the matter they argued about earlier.The emperor's actions were unpredictable, sometimes people stayed to check his pulse just to see a doctor, sometimes it was to ask something, often people were puzzled, only knew that he was indeed a powerful emperor.

"If the world is full, it will suffer. Nothing is perfect, even the emperor has so many problems." Countless courtiers shook their heads and sighed, but they were helpless against Xiao Le'an.

After the court was over, Xiao Le'an walked slowly wearing a dragon robe and holding a medical book in his hand. Suddenly he looked at the sky and closed the book and murmured: "I haven't been out of the palace much recently, why don't I go out today to understand the people's feelings."

The two young eunuchs following behind him suddenly had a bitter look on their faces.Where did the emperor go to investigate the sentiments of the people? In other words, most likely he was looking for people with strange diseases. Many people in the harem were brought back by the emperor who said he was going to observe the sentiments of the people.

In the Southern Dynasties, there was no one who could rule the emperor. The only Empress Dowager Liu was said to be enjoying herself in Yushui Villa. She just didn’t care about this matter and said that it’s normal for the emperor to have one or two small hobbies, as long as it’s not harmful to the people. relationship, and then forget about it.

As the saying goes, no matter how weird the pot is in this world, there will be a lid that suits it, which is true.The emperor Xiao Le'an, who had caused headaches to countless courtiers, ran into a special woman this time when he went on a tour in a low-clothes suit, which made his heart tremble a few times when he fell into the medicine jar and couldn't get out.

At that time, he was walking on the street, passing by a medical clinic, and walked forward when he heard people crying in front of the door.It turned out that the doctor in the clinic couldn't cure the patients who came to seek medical treatment, so they could only be sent home. The patient's mother was sitting there crying very hard.Xiao Le'an became a little interested, and just as he was about to step forward to take a good look at the patient, he saw another young woman in the crowd walk over first.

"I can cure him, can you give me something to eat after he is cured?" the woman said with a small burden on her back.

Although the mother couldn't believe it, she didn't want to let go of the slightest possibility, and took the girl home.Xiao Le'an followed with interest. Later, the woman did cure the child who had an emergency, and sat there eating the egg noodles that the mother made for her.

Xiao Le'an observed her for a long time, and confirmed that this young woman is also a doctor, and a powerful doctor at that.Xiao Le'an has a problem, whether it is an intractable patient or a powerful doctor, he wants to take it back.

After thinking for a while, seeing that the girl had already started eating the third bowl of egg noodles, Xiao Le'an walked over to her and said, "Will you enter the palace with me?"

The woman finished her last sip of noodle soup, looked up at him blankly when she heard the words, then shook her head and said, "My seniors told me that if someone asks me to go with him, I will never agree." After finishing speaking, she picked up her bag and went out Walk.

Xiao Le'an was unwilling to follow her for a while, and saw her pass the narrow alley with her own eyes. A man who coveted her beauty stepped forward to tease her, but she quickly kicked her in the crotch.At the moment when the man covered his crotch and rolled over, the woman walked over as if she didn't see it.

Even after seeing this scene, Xiao Le'an still insisted on following her, and then he found that the woman's eyes always drifted unconsciously to the surrounding snacks.Xiao Le'an understood what made up his mind, chased after him and said again: "If you come to the palace with me, there will be a lot of delicious food every day."

"Is there any meat?" The woman turned around, looked into his eyes for a while, and suddenly asked seriously.

"Yes, many, all kinds." Xiao Le'an nodded in affirmation.

"Then I'll go with you." After hearing this answer, the woman agreed without even the slightest hesitation.This woman, namely Ye Huanyan, had long forgotten the advice of her seniors and left with her for food. Of course, this person's pleasing appearance was also one of the reasons.

Ye Huanyan's family is a bit special, she has parents and seven senior brothers, the oldest senior brother is almost older than her, and the youngest is almost five or six years older than her.Besides her mother, the whole family is a doctor, her father is the most powerful, and also knows some mysterious kung fu, and is good at making medicine and poison.Ye Huanyan inherited her father's talent, surpassing several senior brothers at a young age.

She grew up under the doting and teaching of a big family, more precisely, under the teaching of seven senior brothers.Because her parents like to run around, it is said that because her mother likes to eat all kinds of delicious food, her father took her mother to eat delicious food everywhere.

They would come back from time to time, and every time they came back, it was because her mother found some delicious food and brought it back for her to taste.But they usually stay for a day and then leave, so Ye Huanyan spends less time with her parents than her senior brothers.

Ye Huanyan has never been out of the mountains at this age, and several senior brothers who raised her as a daughter discussed taking her out to see the world.It happened that the fourth senior brother received a letter to treat a friend, so he took her out together.Unexpectedly, she chased after her halfway because she smelled delicious food, and after eating, she found that she and her brother were lost, and her money was also stolen, and then she was hungry for a whole day, until now.

There are indeed a lot of delicious food in the palace, so Ye Huanyan stayed there with peace of mind. Apart from discussing medical skills with Xiao Le'an every day, she went to the harem to see a doctor.In just three months, most of the patients in the harem were cured by her and then sent out of the palace by Xiao Le'an.

Xiao Le'an felt that he had found a treasure, and every time he saw Ye Huanyan, his eyes lit up, and he wished he could be by her side every day.

The harem was empty, and those ministers began to try their best to make him fill the harem with people. This time, they finally invited the empress dowager Liu Qingtang.

Liu Qingtang was also annoyed by those people who came to Yushui Villa every now and then to ask her to talk to the emperor about accepting concubines.Originally, the afternoon sun was warm enough for people to go to bed. She nestled on Qin Shu who was fishing, lazily, and slept soundly with her chest arched. Those troublesome ministers came crying again.

It's not a problem anyway, Liu Qingtang sighed, and went back to Yujing with Qin Shu to find Yang Sushu in the Yang Mansion, and brought them the carp that Qin Shu caught in the morning.

"Let your son marry a wife who can bear children, Su Shu."

"I think it's about the same."

After the two made such a decision, facing a mother-in-law and a godmother, followed by a father who joined in the fun, and a godfather who left a lot of shadows on his childhood, Xiao Le'an could no longer delay.

"I have a very good queen candidate. Her name is Ye Huanyan. I tricked her into the palace outside the palace." Xiao Le'an said calmly under the distrustful eyes of the four parents.

The elders were silent for a while, and finally Liu Qingtang made a decision: "As long as it is a normal woman who is not sick, we all agree, and the ministers will not object." , and his always unreliable personality, this time a slightly normal woman can make those ministers feel satisfied to shut up. , but not far behind.

"Huanyan, marry me. All the medical books and medicinal materials I have collected over the years will be given to you." When Xiao Le'an saw the woman's indifferent look, he emphasized his tone and continued: "There is also the entire imperial dining room in the palace. Give it all to you."

Ye Huanyan's eyes lit up when she heard the latter sentence.

From then on, everyone knew that the emperor's favorite besides medical books was the empress.

Then the fourth senior brother who was forgotten by Ye Huanyan went back to the mountain with a mournful face after searching all over Yujing but couldn't find his little junior sister with the same bad personality as the master, and accepted the condemnation from all the senior brothers, as well as the master Pi The lesson of laughing but not laughing, even the teacher who has always been talkative doesn't help him.

It was not until three months later that Doctor Ye and Xuan Ge and his wife saw their daughter returning home with their son-in-law.

"Father and mother, I found the most delicious food." Empress Ye said while pulling the emperor and pointing at him.

The time belonging to the previous generation is passing, and the stories of these young people are being interpreted.
