Lu Dafang sneered in his heart. He was a staunch conservative, and the Fan family was the first generation of reformers. The two families had deep conflicts. If the Fan family jumped out so eagerly, don't blame me for being ruthless.

"I am ashamed of myself. The late emperor was deeply deceived by the treacherous Prime Minister Wang Anshi. The reform left the people in trouble. If the Empress Dowager had not turned the tide, the Song Dynasty would have been in danger!" Lu Dafang criticized Wang Anshi mercilessly while bragging without regard for face. Queen Mother.

Su Zhe said solemnly: "The Empress Dowager has spoken seriously. We are deeply entrusted by the late Emperor before his death, so we will naturally devote ourselves to it and die."

Although Su Che was not a conservative, he did not agree with Wang Anshi's radical reforms and could be regarded as a centrist.

Following the statements of the two prime ministers, Fan Chunren knew that he could no longer remain silent, and immediately expressed his position: "Wang Anshi's reform was eager for quick success, and Fan also wrote a letter to strongly oppose it. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager set things right, and it did not cause a catastrophe."

When the other two prime ministers expressed their stance, Queen Mother Gao was expressionless. It was not until she heard Fan Chunren's stance that she showed a smile.

"The Ai family don't dare to take credit! All we want is to live up to the late emperor's trust. Fortunately, now that Xu'er has grown up and is old enough to be in charge, I can smile again." Empress Dowager Gao said with emotion.

Fan Chunren's eyelids twitched. He did not expect that after Empress Dowager Gao tested him once, she would repeatedly test him on the topic of the new emperor's personal administration.

Hearing this, Lu Dafang said anxiously: "The Empress Dowager can't do it. Nowadays, the Liao Kingdom is watching in the north of the Song Dynasty, and the Xixia wolves are watching in the west. There are constant civil unrest in the country, and the officials are still young. I'm afraid they can't suddenly take on such a big responsibility." , the Song Dynasty still needed the empress dowager to mature and govern the country.

Everyone knows that Lu Dafang is a staunch conservative, and his Majesty Zhao Xu admires his father Song Shenzong very much. Once he ascends the throne, he will definitely restart the reform. Then it will be the end of conservatives like them.

Fan Chunren snorted in his heart, since you know that the Song Dynasty is full of crises, why do you still indiscriminately oppose the measures? It's not that the reforms have damaged your interests.

Su Che also held up his hand and said: "Guan Jia is still young and needs some experience!"

Su Che naturally knew that the Song Dynasty had constant problems. However, Wang Anshi's reform did not improve the Song Dynasty, but intensified the conflicts. This was the reason why Su Che opposed Wang Anshi's reform.

Although Empress Dowager Gao was greedy for power over the years, she managed to maintain the stability of the Song Dynasty. If the new emperor took charge and implemented reforms, he might have to go back to the same old path of saving his brother.

Fan Chunren sighed secretly, knowing that he could not lag behind in this kind of matter, and immediately said: "What Mr. Su said is true. Your Majesty is still young and cannot take on major affairs of the country. The Queen Mother still needs to be in charge of the court."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Gao couldn't help but smile, and sighed: "I'm old, I'm already old. Now the world is dominated by young people. The Ai family heard that after Fan Xianggong, Fan Zheng had superb medical skills and established a medical institution at a young age. He became the number one Chinese medicine hospital in the world, and even the former imperial physician failed under him. What a terrible future!"

Fan Chunren's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly knew that Empress Dowager Gao was still uneasy, so she started to test for the third time. If Empress Dowager Gao hadn't paid attention to Fan Zhengbian's forensic expert, how could she have known so clearly.

"Fan Zhengnai is the third younger brother. He loves to study medicine. He gave up his favor and asked for an official position to study medicine in the Imperial Medical Bureau. A few days ago, the Imperial Medical Bureau took the annual exam and offered a way for couples seeking medical treatment to reconcile and separate. This aroused criticism from both the government and the public. The Queen Mother also knew."

Fan Chunren took the initiative to point out the past events and reminded Empress Dowager Gao that she was using Fan Zheng's evil prescription to improve the status of her maternal bloodline. Moreover, Fan Zheng was a doctor, not a court official. The establishment of a private hospital would not affect the court situation at all.

Empress Dowager Gao felt soft. After all, she had also benefited from Fan Zheng's evil prescription.

However, Lu Dafang suddenly said: "The Empress Dowager did not know that Fan Zheng was not only extraordinary in medical skills, but also brilliant in literary talent. He repeatedly wrote famous articles through the ages. He even openly proclaimed that studying literature cannot save the country. Only then did he get angry. Study medicine.”

Then Lu Dafang showed the scenes of Fan Zheng treating Su Dun and Banque Man Jianghong, and Empress Dowager Gao's expression suddenly changed.

When Su Zhe saw that the Su family was involved, he couldn't help but lamented, and had to say something to save his nephew: "To inform the Empress Dowager, this is what Fan Zheng said when he was treating his nephew Su Dun's heart ailment. It was not what Fan Zheng really said."

Su Dun's heartache is a famous story throughout the ages. Fan Zheng tried to persuade Su Dun by saying that studying literature cannot save the country. Although his words were harsh, there was no prescription but he was not wrong.

Fan Chunren then held up his hands and said: "Although Fan Zheng is stubborn, his loyalty to the imperial court is as clear as heaven and earth. This time Fan Zheng became a forensic doctor and he also had a hidden agenda. He developed a good medicine to prevent and treat wound infection, which was able to save the lives of countless soldiers of the Song Dynasty." A good prescription, but it was ranked in the middle of the second list by the Imperial Medical Bureau. I was ridiculed by a group of imperial students. I was so angry that I angrily shouted that I would become a forensic doctor and asked the Queen Mother to take a closer look."

The reason why Fan Chunren was able to sit firmly on Diaoyutai was precisely because of this trump card. After all, alcohol has been proven to be able to prevent and treat wound infections. However, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty have always suffered from wound infections. This method is not helpful in saving countless soldiers of the Song Dynasty. , but was treated unfairly, then Fan Zheng's behavior is excusable.

"Is this true?" Empress Dowager Gao couldn't help but raise her voice a little higher when she heard this. Although she was a woman, she also knew how valuable a good prescription that could save countless soldiers of the Song Dynasty was.

"This recipe has been verified by Imperial Physician Qian Yi, and now it has become the first place in the world for the surgical level of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals to use alcohol for disinfection." Fan Chunren said solemnly.

"Come here, pass the message to the Ministry of War on the prevention and treatment of wound infection with alcohol, and let the Ministry of War personally verify it. If it is effective, it will be sent to the front line of the Song Dynasty immediately." Empress Dowager Gao ordered.

"My officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty are the pillars of the country, and the Queen Mother is wise!" Fan Chunren said with a sigh of relief.

However, Empress Dowager Gao changed her words and said: "The Fan family is really full of elites. The Ai family did not expect that Fan Xianggong would have such superb medical skills. It just so happened that Bie'er's eye disease had always made her worried. I heard that Fan Zheng became a forensic doctor and pioneered the field of ophthalmology. , why not let Fan Zheng come and take a look at Bie'er's eye disease."

Fan Chunren's heart suddenly realized that the Bai Er mentioned by Empress Dowager Gao was Zhao Bai, the King of Shen. He was the eldest prince besides Zhao Xu. Unfortunately, he suffered from an eye disease due to a convulsion since he was a child. Even though he had seen famous doctors, they were unable to do anything.

"The Empress Dowager is wise. Fan Zheng has been able to cure his heart ailments that countless miracle doctors have been unable to cure. His Highness Prince Shen's eye ailments must not be a problem for Fan Zheng either." Lu Dafang gave the Fan family eye drops in a timely manner.

Fan Chunren frowned, but had to say: "The ophthalmology department of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has just been established. I think we can give it a try. Even if His Highness Shen cannot be cured immediately, we can slowly explore good methods in the future."

Fan Chunren did not say anything, leaving some room for Fan Zheng.

"The Ai family understands that even if there is a glimmer of hope, the Ai family is not willing to give up, otherwise they will have to bear Xu'er's great trust. How can they have the face to see Xu'er a hundred years later." Empress Dowager Gao choked up.

"The Empress Dowager is kind and kind, and the late Emperor will definitely smile." The three prime ministers bowed their heads and said in agreement.

The entire Chui Gong Hall was once again in harmony with its ruler and ministers, as if the overt and covert attack had never happened.
