Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

Doctor Xiao Wang's heart trembled when he heard the words, and immediately, a burst of joy surged from his heart to his forehead.For a moment, Doctor Xiao Wang's body also trembled.

The Wang family is now in a precarious situation, and the doctor Xiao Wang is thinking day and night about a way out of the predicament.I don't want to step through the iron shoes and not look for a place, and it doesn't take much effort to get it. A pie falls in the blue sky, and my face is covered with paste.

The favored Empress Zhaoyi even extended an olive branch to herself.

Since then, receiving a salary must be meritorious. Since ancient times, there has never been a real pie in the sky.Now that Empress Zhaoyi is interested, she has to confess her loyalty.

However, as an unfavored little imperial doctor, what can I use as a certificate of nomination?

Suddenly, Imperial Physician Xiao Wang thought of something and was overjoyed, this news would definitely satisfy Empress Zhaoyi.

The imperial physician Xiao Wang cupped his hands again, and replied: "Thank you, Madam, I have something to report. Just now, I came to Chengqian Palace, and the two masters of Ningshou Palace and Yikun Palace passed on the imperial physician at the same time."

Yuan Chun raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "The concubine of the harem just came out of Ningshou Palace, the empress dowager's face is all red, and her voice is clear, can't you see that she's not feeling well at all?"

Doctor Xiao Wang said: "Although the one who went to Ningshou Palace was the Empress Dowager's doctor Mao, but the little eunuch spread the word that it was Concubine Li who suddenly felt unwell in Ningshou Palace and became dizzy. Yikun Palace is not Hui The imperial concubine is itchy, but it's because the maid of the palace concubine feels unwell."

Yuan Chun was stunned: "These two were all well just now?"

Suddenly, Yuan Chun seemed to be sniffing for a hint of information, and gave Baoqin a look. Baoqin handed a plain purse to Imperial Physician Xiao Wang, and said with a chuckle, "I also ask Imperial Physician Xiao Wang to take care of the two palace pulse cases on your behalf. It’s good to be prepared and prepare suitable gifts.”

After saying that, Baoqin made an excuse to leave all the court ladies and eunuchs, and exited the sitting room by himself, and stood near the door, standing at the door.

Doctor Xiao Wang weighed the purse in his hand, about ten taels in weight, it was very heavy on his hand, and according to the hand feel, it was a gold ingot of ten taels and one ingot.

Doctor Xiao Wang closed his eyes, gold and silver are not very important to him, but they represent an opportunity.He didn't want to imitate his second uncle, he could only take the blame for the miscarriage of Concubine Shu, thanks to his father's early help and kindness to his second uncle, he saved his life, but in the end it broke Fame, now I have to live in seclusion in the countryside, no longer dare to write a prescription.Blind all his abilities.

Thinking of this, a stern look flashed in Xiao Wang's eyes. Concubine Shu is over [-] years old, and she is too early to conceive. At this age, it is against the harmony of heaven to force her to conceive with drugs. As a result, the perpetrators did not As for the matter, my second uncle was only ordered by the imperial physician to protect the fetus, but he would eventually be dragged to pay the bill for Concubine Shu's greed and ambition.

The family fortune and future of the Wang family are now tied to him. Wang Xiangyun has made a decision in his heart that he cannot be like his second uncle. Cliques have never been tolerated by the superiors. However, as a little sixth-rank imperial physician, if he does not choose to be attached, It will be squeezed by all parties and become a scapegoat for all forces.

No matter how excellent your medical skills are, you will be alone, right and wrong will fall from the sky.

The favor of the Wang family's ancestors has been used on the second uncle, and the future life and death of the Wang family will be on him.The Wang family has reached a desperate situation so far, wealth and wealth are in danger, and it is time for the Wang family to fight with their lives.

Wang Xiangyun's eyes froze, he didn't believe that the way of heaven treated the Wang family so lightly, maybe the two concubines of Jia's family would not be destined for the prince?

As long as there is a woman who gives birth to a child, the Wang family will be able to rely on it in the future, and make a comeback. Maybe, with better luck, the grievances of the second uncle that day will be cleared up.

Wang Xiangyun immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said, "I would like to thank Madam Zhaoyi, since my uncle was framed and exiled three years ago, I have struggled in the Imperial Hospital. This little minister can't stay any longer, maybe the Wang family's medical skills will be cut off. Now, the empress is sending you something, and this little minister must be completely heartbroken to repay your mother's kindness."

Yuan Chun smiled on his forehead: "Okay, from now on, I want to know the pulse and prescriptions of the empresses in each palace immediately, no need to copy, just dictate."

Immediately, Yuan Chun took out a plain purse from under his seat, and flew lightly towards Wang Xiangyun: "Since you think clearly, you need to change your rules of conduct. This is a thousand taels of silver, and it should be taken care of in the Imperial Hospital, especially Dispensing medicine and brewing medicine eunuch, but you have to look at the opportunity and calmly recover one or two loyal people, you must not act too hastily, and you must not be greedy and show signs."

Wang Xiangyun put away the purse and stuffed it into his sleeves: "Your servant will remember your mother's order, and I will resign."

Yuan Chun winked: "Baoqin!" Baoqin followed and sent it out: "My lord Wang, if there is any need in the future, or if it's inconvenient, just let someone come find me with your lord's purse, it's the same."

Wang Xiangyun raised his forehead when he heard the words, and secretly admired Yuan Chun's thoughtfulness. Counting back and forth, he had been in contact with this former female historian for three years, but it was only today that he was truly trusted by her.

This kind of forbearance, Wang Xiangyun sighed to himself.

Here, Yingchun also let out a sigh of relief.Once again, she experienced Yuan Chun's stubbornness and ruthlessness, and at the same time admired her ability to manage the harem.Compared with Yuan Chun, I am really weak now.It seems that if I want to live in this palace and die, I need to learn too much.

Yingchun secretly thought about Yuanchun's words and deeds today. Once needed, Yuanchun would definitely push herself out without hesitation.Yingchun's heart was blocked.How is this result different from Jia She's betraying himself for money?

Yingchun frowned slightly, the feeling of being trapped in her own destiny was really terrifying.No, one's own destiny must be in one's own hands.

Yuan Chun seemed to be engrossed in the joy of his recovery, not paying attention to the change in his complexion.

Originally, Yingchun was very depressed, and was about to leave immediately and go back, thinking that if Yuanchun failed to conceive, she would be desperate to ripen herself.Doctor Xiao Wang was under the control of Yuan Chun, so he might be assassinated at some point.

In the end, Yingchun decided to wait until Yuanchun took a bath before leaving. As long as Yuanchun successfully conceived, she would have one year to expand her living space and build up her contacts and prestige. If Yuanchun wanted to sacrifice herself again, she would have countermeasures and resistance.

On this day, Yingchun endured her displeasure and stayed until Yuanchun took a bath and took a nap before leaving.

After returning to the palace, Yingchun did not hesitate to ask Du Ruo for advice: "Today, the doctor Xiao Wang took my pulse and said that I might not give birth to Guishui until I was seventeen years old. To give birth to a body, I want to ask you, how can I live with dignity in such a situation?"

Du Ruo took a deep look at Yingchun, she already knew that Chengqian Palace wanted to ripen Empress Chongyuan, she thought to herself, she thought that at least Empress Chongyuan and Empress Zhaoyi would not have conflicts before the prince grew up , I don't want the conflict to come so early.

Du Ruo smiled, breaking a woman's body before she is mature will definitely damage her health, what's more, it will cause lifelong infertility.

This is undoubtedly drying up the marshes, fishing and burning forests and hunting.

The empress of Chengqian Palace is too self righteous and selfish.Not necessarily what she thinks is good, everyone in the world will flock to her!

However, Du Ruo thought that Empress Chongyuan didn't have the ability to fly solo right now, and had to rely on Empress Zhaoyi of Chengqian Palace to gain a firm foothold in the harem.

Now that Du Ruo shares honor and disgrace with Yingchun, she must be a good think tank and helper for the empress, and dare not hide a little bit of what she thinks: "There are three high positions in the harem, one is the Holy One, you cannot be favored by the Empress, and it is difficult to get the protection of the Holy Majesty. And the servants think that , before the empress accepts favor, it is best not to seek the protection of the Holy One."

Yingchun raised her eyebrows: "Your Majesty is the biggest master in this palace, why not do it if you can get His Majesty's protection?"

Du Ruo smiled lightly: "My lady, if you are favored by the sage before you have been favored, in the eyes of the empress dowager, the empress dowager, it is a curse of fox charm. People can't sleep and wonder, and you have already been so favored before you have been favored. Once you are favored, Does it mean to bring disaster to the country and the people? The consequences will be very serious. The empress dowager will never tolerate such concubines in the harem. If this happens, the empress will not only lose her dignity, but even her life will be lost.

The Empress Dowager also saw that in this draft, those who had too bright eyebrows and eyes, even if they were young, were rejected by the Empress Dowager for reasons.The empress dowager did this to prevent the harem concubines from seducing the Lord.In the harem, you only need to be respectful and obedient to your concubines, and you must not tolerate troubles from beauty! "

Yingchun was amused by what she said, how can a decent lady like herself, who has just reached the standard of beauty, bring disaster to the country and the people?

Seeing Yingchun's sarcasm, Du Ruo knew that she didn't believe him, because she said: "Your Majesty claims to be court training, and she is familiar with poetry and books. She should have read more about history books. The concubine of Wangui in the previous dynasty was not the appearance of a city and a country, but the harem is because of her. He was almost extinct, and there was also the Long Live Lord of this dynasty. Because of the re-succession, he wanted to depose the son of the Yuan Empress several times. These are all frightening and can't bear to recall. "

Yingchun straightened her back when she heard the words, and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not so naive."

Du Ruo raised his forehead: "Secondly, the empress, the empress is in command of the harem, as long as the empress is favored by the empress, she will be smooth and happy, but the elder sister, the empress Zhaoyi, is only able to be today by relying on the empress, and they have relied on each other for ten years. For a long time, it is impossible for the empress to surpass Zhaoyi, unless the empress also follows in Zhaoyi's footsteps, and wants to have a son to adopt, there must be a prerequisite for this, and that is to be favored."

Yingchun sighed: "It's useful!"

Du Ruo smiled: "The last person who can protect the empress is the empress dowager."

Yingchun frowned: "As far as I know, Empress Lipin is the Empress Dowager's niece, how can someone pass her by?"

Du Ruo shook his head: "This empress doesn't know something. Although the Empress Dowager intends to let Empress Li enter the palace to be a favorite, she hopes that Empress Li will wait for this year's draft and canonization, but Empress Li wants to invite her to enter the palace as a female history. Empress Dowager I was not happy at first, but I finally accepted it, but I told the concubine Li to respect it and wait for the canonization with the beautiful girl this year, because the emperor told the emperor to rest with the people for the sake of the prosperity of the country, and to grant the over-age beautiful girl in the past three years You can get married on your own, and the empress dowager must uphold the promise of the emperor. Back then, the battle for the throne was very fierce, and many people were waiting to catch the emperor."

Yingchun has already heard the clue: "Concubine Li has breached the contract!"

"It's just like this. Empress Dowager Li was acting in the opposite direction, she made her own decision, and seduced the Holy Majesty after drinking to achieve good things. Because of this matter, the Empress Dowager felt very annoyed that she had lost face in front of the Empress and the Supreme Emperor. Therefore, the Empress Dowager issued a strict order, Pressing concubine Li is not allowed to conceive before she canonize, otherwise, once the emperor reneges on his promise and the reputation spreads, don't blame yourself for being cruel and not thinking about family affection.

"Concubine Li has created a gap with the empress dowager because of this, and she is not so devoted to serving the empress dowager.

The empress dowager was getting more and more angry, but she had to protect her, not without resentment in her heart.

Nowadays, all the women in the harem are trying their best to seek favor and have a child, and Empress Li will definitely fight for favor and conceive. This way, she will ignore the Queen Mother even more. Anyway, she is determined that the Empress Dowager will rely on her for the family. Will definitely protect her.Don't you know that the Empress Dowager is also a human being, not a god, and she will be angry when challenged again and again, and she wants to try to contain it, this is the Empress Dowager's opportunity. "

Yingchun's heart was moved by her words, a woman's status in her husband's family, in addition to her husband's doting and respect, her mother-in-law's love and love are also very important. Although Yingchun cannot be regarded as a serious daughter-in-law of the queen mother, the reason is the same.It's just that this person needs to talk about fate when getting along with others, like some people, you can still get favored by doing nothing, just like Baoyu treats Daiyu.There are some people who dig deep into the sky and do all kinds of calculations, but in the end the bamboo basket fetches water in vain, just like Baochai and Xiren.One is a widow, and the other commits herself to an actor with tears in her eyes.

Yingchun frowned: "It's not easy to please the Empress Dowager."

Du Ruo smiled: "Your Majesty only needs to go to the Empress Dowager's Palace to accompany and serve you when the other Empress Dowagers join forces to round up the Holy Majesty. There is no need for the Empress Dowager to do anything earth-shattering. The Empress Dowager loves chaste and intelligent women. The Empress Dowager is clever and intelligent, so she will definitely be loved by the Empress Dowager. Furthermore, as long as the Empress goes to Ningshou Palace every day, she will surely be able to grasp the pulse of the Empress Dowager and win the favor of the Empress Dowager. In this way, the Empress Dowager can rely on the Empress Dowager besides the Empress Zhaoyi in the harem Empress, at that time, Empress Zhaoyi will be very cautious in her actions."

Yingchun narrowed her eyes, thinking about the chances of success in currying favor with the Empress Dowager, Du Ruo was speculating that Concubine Li was going to die, and let herself pick up the trick.However, what if Concubine Li kept a low profile and filial piety?People are kind-hearted, no matter how much they do, it will be in vain.

Yingchun thinks that this project of pleasing her mother-in-law needs a suitable opportunity for herself to cut in reasonably, otherwise, she will be too revealing, thinking that she is scheming, and it will be disgusting.Of course, I had impure motives to please the Empress Dowager, but I couldn't let others notice it.

Seeing Yingchun's troubled face, Du Ruo knew what she was worried about. When she first entered the palace, she always felt terrified and at a loss as to what to do.Concubines are also human beings, so they should be confused when they first entered the palace, so they smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to be too anxious, at least for now, Madam Zhaoyi is dedicated to protecting your Majesty, if Madam Zhaoyi is able to conceive within this year, I don't think the past will be brought up again." Once Empress Zhaoyi gives birth to the dragon son, she will definitely be more gracious and favored. The empress will rely on the big tree of Empress Zhaoyi, so there is no need to worry. In time, the empress will be favored, protected by the sage, and empress Zhaoyi will help her. Even if someone wants to claw, it's time to weigh it carefully."

Yingchun twitched the corners of her mouth. It seemed that Yuanchun's control could not be secured in a short period of time. This kind of feeling of being pinched by someone's lifeline was really not good: "Understood, let's pray every day for Chengqian Palace Empress to have her wishes come true."

Turning around, I said that the emperor is here. These days, the emperor has been harassed, burned, killed and looted one after another because of the sea and northern borders. Although no territory is lost, the people on the border and sea are miserable.The Holy Majesty was repeatedly provoked, but he couldn't shoot the army to boost the country's prestige. He felt very aggrieved. In essence, the root cause was the emptiness of the treasury. Thinking of this, the Holy Majesty gritted his teeth with hatred.

The Holy Majesty was determined to come up with a charter to solve the current predicament. He called for a big meeting for three days in a row, summoned a group of ministers to discuss matters, rested in the Qianqing Palace at night, and reviewed the memorials all night and all night.As a result, on the fourth day of court, when the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice got it right, he was still looking for reasons and digging out the root cause, without any practical means. Then, he also suggested that the debtors are families of meritorious deeds, who once served the country and society Throwing his head and blood, it is precisely because of this that the Supreme Emperor opened the door of convenience, intending to let these heroes live a peaceful life for a few days, and now the Holy One is chasing debts, and he has lived up to the original intention of the Supreme Emperor.

The Holy Majesty did not expect that he would talk about the past and the present for three days and three nights in a row, quoting from many sources, and he would come up with such a cliché.Immediately, he was furious, and immediately smashed the chapter of the Ministry of Punishment Minister's Book back to them, and said angrily: "The two ministers of the Ministry of Punishment and Household Department have listened, and must come up with a practical plan within three days. Within one month, the debt owed by the treasury must be recovered for five If not, you will personally lead the whole family to the northern seas to defend me against the enemy, and personally experience how the soldiers and common people who defended the border died because of backward equipment."

As soon as these words came out, Man Ting was astonished, this is to use two family members of Shangshu as cannon fodder!

Later, two more censors came forward to persuade the sage, saying that the sage governed the world with filial piety, he should be merciful, considerate, and treat his subjects kindly, like this...

These emperors have had enough of these gossips, nonsense and non-actionable civil officials, and when they saw the censor babbling again, they interrupted him directly and said: "Since you think they are pitiable, you can't just keep it in words, you should It belongs to action, I will help you, after one month, if you can't recover half of the debt, you can go with them, this is also your physical strength."

In this way, no one dares to babble anymore.

Then, the unlucky Prince Teng was called out: "Wang Aiqing, these two are the speech officers of the Yushitai of your procuratorate. The past dynasties have not killed the speech officials. I will assign them today. What do you say?"

Wang Ziteng suddenly had cold sweat on his forehead. How should I put it, if the two ministers and the two censors are innocent, it is estimated that Wang Ziteng will accompany him to the northern border next moment. Although Wang Ziteng is not afraid, he has always been As a favored minister, he can't afford to lose this face!However, if Wang Ziteng said that these four people deserved their crimes, Wang Ziteng, an official, has also messed up.

Wang Ziteng is not stupid, how can he ruin his future like this, he raised his goatee and rolled his eyes, and he thought of a way: "Actually, the two censors just spoke quickly, and they only made mistakes when they spoke too quickly. Having said that, there is already a solution to this matter, but the sage is benevolent and generous, and he can't bear it, so it has been delayed until now, pending a decision, sire, you are kind, in fact, the two yellow-mouthed children paid attention to it."

The Holy Majesty frowned, thinking that this prince Teng was too confused, what nonsense, when did I know the way?

But he also knows that Wang Ziteng is not someone to wait for.

The Holy Majesty has very complicated feelings for Wang Ziteng. On the face of it, this Prince Teng is the Supreme Emperor, but in fact, he has contributed a lot of effort and money in the process of becoming a prince and ascending to the throne. Otherwise, the Holy Majesty would not be so favored after he ascended the throne. Give birth to his official son and promote him.It's just that this person is just like Jia Daishan, who used to be the henchman of the prince Zhongyi, but the prince did something bad, he is different from Jia Daishan who died to protect the Zhongyi king, and turned around in time to support himself.Right now there is no suitable candidate to replace him, or in other words, he has been criticized for being dishonorable and criticized by others right now. Therefore, it is still good for the monarch and his ministers. Once this prince Teng dares to have a slight disagreement, it must be the time for his death.

Wang Ziteng saw that the face of the Holy Spirit was cloudy and uncertain, and he felt a little bit in his heart, and decided not to play charades. At this time, Wang Ziteng felt that it is most important to calm the anger of the Holy Spirit first. Alas, he had no choice but to buy his niece and son-in-law Jia Lian.

He intentionally ignored His Majesty's unsuspecting expression, lowered his head and cupped his fists, and said in an eloquent voice: "My colleagues probably don't know that the reason why Jia Lian, the nephew and son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, was able to repay the debts owed by the three generations is because The old lady in their mansion was righteous, and took out a lot of treasures in stock. Second, they cleaned up the treasury, and third, they also borrowed part of it from relatives. It can be called destroying the family to pay off the debt. However, the minister in front The above three parts, combined, are only the part of the arrears that Jia Lian offered up front, and there is still 40 yuan in the future, so there is a lot to do. It’s just that this method, Wei Chen once mentioned it to the Holy One, but the Holy Majesty did not express it. I know the Holy Majesty Benevolence, I can't bear to imitate it like this, but it's not only the words that influence it. It's just that things go against their wishes. Some people are used to longing for Shu. As long as they are happy and happy, they don't care about the empty treasury. Frowning. These people are insatiable, and it is impossible to educate and enlighten."

"My lord, you have to make a decision early."

Wang Ziteng said the last sentence, and knelt down in front of the Holy Majesty: "I ask the Holy Majesty to serve you, and the Ministry of Punishment and Accounting Department will follow the example of the Rong Mansion and sell off all the land and shops in the homes of officials who owe debts. , sent their whole family to the northern seas, to experience the sufferings of the soldiers and civilians in the frontier."

When Wang Ziteng's last words fell to the ground, it was like a thunderbolt in the sky, hitting the top of Qianqing Palace.

The Holy One smiled.

All the officials were stunned, and then woke up, most of them were angry.

In an instant, the angry officials all turned their heads, and glared at Wang Ziteng with fire-breathing eyes: "You son of a bitch, you don't have virtue!"
