veterinary

Chang Tingzhao couldn't help but frown, and soon returned to his expressionless, cold look.

"I don't know what the sixth prince means by this."

The sixth prince smiled and said: "General Chang has made outstanding achievements repeatedly at a young age, and now he has defeated Xi Rong who has harassed me for many years. He can be described as a rare talent that has never been seen in a century, and is a model for people with lofty ideals in the world."

Chang Tingzhao still had a calm expression, "I'm just trying my best, I shouldn't praise you like this."

The sixth prince stood up and walked to Chang Tingzhao, "General Chang has been working hard for the country and has delayed his life's major events. It is embarrassing that he is still alone and has no descendants after twenty. Although the father is concentrating on Alchemy and immortality have always been thinking about this matter, so I was ordered to pick a gentle and virtuous beauty to accompany you."

Chang Tingzhao looked at the sixth prince with dark eyes, "Thank you for your concern, the sixth prince. I will never marry a woman in this life, and the emperor once promised not to persecute the humble minister."

The sixth prince laughed, "General Chang's refusal to marry three years ago is known all over the world, how could the father be so confused and choose another woman to match you?"

Chang Tingzhao still has no other expressions, making people wonder what he is thinking.

The sixth prince didn't care about it, and said slowly: "This man is the son of Marquis Zhongyi. Although he is a concubine, he is quite talented. His biological mother is a concubine. He is handsome in appearance and gentle in personality. He must be a perfect match for you."

Chang Tingzhao couldn't help sneering in his heart, Zhongyihou is the concubine of the sixth prince, although Zhongyihou has been defeated in recent years, the royal family is still a famous family.Even if it is a concubine who marries a man and becomes a man's wife, it will be disgraceful to the whole Hou Mansion, and it is inevitable that he will sell his son for glory.

"Loyalty Marquis is actually willing?"

The sixth prince disagreed and said: "General Chang is a hero of Dayou, even the son of the Hou family deserves it."

Chang Tingzhao raised his eyebrows, "I heard that Duke Wei has a son who is unparalleled in talent and appearance..."

The sixth prince stared straight at him. Duke Wei is the father-in-law of the sixth prince, who plays an important role in the court. How dare Chang Tingzhao think about it!

Chang Tingzhao sneered, and before the sixth prince opened his mouth, he said directly: "Thank you for your concern, but my wife is in charge of me, so you don't have to worry about it. Men don't have many restrictions on women. If they want to be my wife, they have to get along with me." If you are suitable, you are eligible to marry me, not everyone I will marry."

The sixth prince choked, and said angrily: "Presumptuous! There has never been such a wife in the past and present, how decent it is."

Chang Tingzhao looked indifferent, "Some rules really have to be followed, and some don't matter, otherwise I will follow the rules and I can't make it out of the artillery battle that defeated Xirong. No one owes anyone what you love and what I want, and it's two This man is not afraid of fame. All the brothers in the civil society are like this, and there are many unmarried in the end. I am not original, but it is rare for men and women in the capital to get married. Sixth Prince, you just don’t know the inside story."

The sixth prince snorted coldly, "General Chang is really bold, he even dared to disobey the emperor's will."

"I dare not disobey the emperor's questioning. If it is not the emperor's will, why should I listen to it?"

Chang Tingzhao stood upright beside the sixth prince without fear, his tall and tough body made the sixth prince feel that his aura was overwhelmed.

The sixth prince took two steps back calmly, and shot Chang Tingzhao with his long and narrow eyes, "Does General Chang's words imply that I am falsely preaching the imperial decree?"

Chang Tingzhao cupped his hands, "No, it's just that the emperor promised me that as long as I can defeat Xirong, I will be the master of the marriage, and even my father will not interfere."

The sixth prince narrowed his eyes, "Why don't other people know about this matter, if the father has this intention, why would he still point to marriage."

Chang Tingzhao looked into the eyes of the sixth prince, his voice was lower than usual, "I am also very puzzled, maybe the sixth prince has misunderstood, and it is not a marriage proposal for my minister."

The sixth prince snorted coldly, "My ears are not just for decoration, so I can still hear you wrong. Since the father entrusted this matter to me, he must think twice. Everything is what Dayou thinks for General Chang, and General Chang is waiting to go back. Get ready for the wedding."

Chang Tingzhao looked displeased, "Sixth Prince, don't try to make things difficult for others. The minister is fighting bloody battles not to marry a man randomly into the house. I already have someone I like, and the Sixth Prince's kindness is my heart."

The sixth prince slapped the table violently, "Presumptuous! It is the emperor's grace for the son of the loyal marquis to marry you. Could it be that you have been wronged!?"

Chang Tingzhao snorted coldly, "I don't dare to say I am wronged, but the emperor clearly promised his ministers not to interfere in this matter before, how can he go back on his word now? I want to see the emperor, there is no reason for me to go back on my merits, isn't it? Rewards are punishments, is it wrong for me to defeat Xirong and make meritorious service?"

The sixth prince frowned, with anger that could not be concealed on his face, "Father is at a critical moment in cultivating immortality, if someone interrupts you, you will miss the opportunity to become a fairy. What is your intention to see Father at this time?!"

Chang Tingzhao glanced at him, "Anyway, I don't see that the emperor didn't have the emperor's will, don't say that I won't marry the son of the loyal prince, even if your sixth prince marries, I won't accept it!"

The sixth prince blushed immediately, and pointed at Chang Tingzhao's nose, his hands began to tremble, "You, you are so courageous!"

Chang Tingzhao is not afraid of him, "The emperor personally answered me, no matter where I go, I am justified. The sixth prince has been preventing me from seeing the emperor. I heard that the emperor has not shown up for a long time, and even the concubine in the harem is rare. Could it be What's the secret?"

A stern look flashed in the eyes of the sixth prince, and then he returned to normal, and said coldly: "Could it be that General Chang suspects that I can't imprison the emperor?"

Chang Tingzhao looked innocent, "I didn't say that, it was you, the sixth prince, who said it yourself. Sixth prince, you are so brave to imprison the emperor! I want to see the emperor!"

Chang Tingzhao yelled directly, his appearance was not that of a general who killed the Quartet, he was just a rascal.

The sixth prince almost cursed, and said in a dark voice: "Where is this place where you are allowed to be arrogant! General Chang, don't be proud of your merits, and use this as a threat."

Chang Tingzhao said coldly: "I'm a minister of the court. I want to see the emperor to discuss the important affairs of the court. Why can't I succeed? The sixth prince has repeatedly blocked me. If it's not because of a guilty conscience, why did this happen?"

The sixth prince said angrily: "General Chang is so arrogant. My father ordered me to supervise the country so that I could concentrate on cultivating immortals. All officials, civil and military, speak well. They have seen it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears. General Chang has no reason to doubt at this time. , but also to disturb the father because of such a trivial matter, could it be that the father is not able to become a fairy on purpose!?"

Chang Tingzhao softened at this time, and said: "In short, if the emperor does not see the marriage offer, then the sixth prince will give me a crooked melon and split date with ulterior motives. I have said before that I will only marry one person in this life. , Now I have found that person and I am preparing to get married. If the sixth prince insists on letting me marry someone who dislikes me, I vow to go to the emperor and talk about it. You are not joking, how can you go back on your word."

The sixth prince's eyes darkened, "Since General Chang doesn't believe me, I have no choice but to bother the emperor, if there are any consequences..."

Chang Tingzhao interrupted directly, "I am willing to take responsibility with all my strength. In short, no matter what happens, let me talk about it after seeing the emperor. I only believe in people who are personally selected by the emperor."

The sixth prince sneered, "Then General Chang will wait to be the groom's officer."

Chang Tingzhao's always gloomy face finally revealed a touch of brilliance, "I will definitely treat the sixth prince to a glass of water and wine."

After Chang Tingzhao left, the sixth prince ruthlessly smashed the porcelain vase beside him, and the eunuch next to him hurried over, "His Royal Highness calm down, you have to be cautious before actually sitting on this throne."

The sixth prince took a deep breath, and said viciously: "This Chang Tingzhao really doesn't know how to flatter him!"

The eunuch also quickly agreed, "No, it would be a great honor for the son of the loyal Marquis to marry him. This general Chang is too arrogant, how dare he talk to you like this."

The sixth prince snorted coldly, "I just want to make him unhappy."

The eunuch asked unclearly: "As the saying goes, twisted melons are not sweet, why does Your Highness insist on this? Even if you marry the prince, you may not be able to win him over."

The sixth prince glanced at him, "Stupid slave, why do you want to win over this person? I still think it's an eyesore to put a smelly and hard stone there. There is a reason for me to act like this. I definitely don't want him to marry that person." What about Zhao Qinghe. If you want to see the emperor, hum, wait for me to climb up to that position, let him hang his eyes on my chest, and let him see him every day!"

The sixth prince laughed viciously, causing the eunuch to tremble, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Chang Tingzhao saw a group of people standing at the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion all the way, and Chang Tingzhao's heart sank for no reason.

"Old lady, look, it's the fourth young master!" A servant shouted when he saw Chang Tingzhao.

Chang Tingzhao got off his horse, knelt down in front of Mrs. Chang, and said excitedly: "Grandmother, grandson is late for being unfilial. It is really a sin to make grandma wait in front of the door for a long time."

Mrs. Chang looked at Chang Tingzhao and couldn't help but her eyes turned red, "It's good to be back."

Mrs. Feng Fang interjected at this time: "Fourth young master, you don't know that you are outside. This old lady has been talking about you every day for more than a year, and your body has lost a lot of weight."

Chang Tingzhao ignored Mrs. Feng, and supported Mrs. Chang, saying: "Grandmother, your grandson is unfilial, which makes you worry."

Mrs. Chang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "This is for the court and for the emperor, as it should be, and my grandson and grandma are also happy."

Mrs. Feng Chou couldn't help sighing: "I don't know when the master will return to Beijing. The master is not as old as a young man. I don't know how much I will suffer if I have to delay. I heard that the wind blows like a knife in that place. It is very difficult. Hey, why didn't the master come back early."

When Mrs. Chang heard that her original joy turned into worry, although the fighting had stopped, she couldn't help worrying if she didn't come back.It's not that there have been things that turned back and forth in the past, but Mrs. Feng's words don't think there is anything on the surface, but they can't help but make people think deeply.Chang Tingzhao has always been leading the army. It stands to reason that Ding Guogong should come back first, and Chang Tingzhao is guarding there. Why did they switch?

Chang Tingzhao said indifferently: "Grandma doesn't need to worry, it's better for father to have an army to protect him. This is also the emperor's sympathy. If it's father who came back this time, I'm afraid he would have died by now."

Mrs. Chang was shocked, "What kind of statement is this?"

Chang Tingzhao recounted all the incidents of wolf attacks on the way, the danger of which made people shudder.

Mrs. Chang followed her chest, "It's okay, it's okay, how can there be so many wolves, it's really scary. Thank God for blessing you and my good grandson, otherwise it would have killed me."

Chang Tinghui on the side couldn't help laughing, "The fourth brother likes to tease grandma more and more. If there are really so many wolves, how can the fourth brother bring so many guards together?"

Chang Tingzhao didn't look at him, but said: "A group of animals is nothing to worry about, people are not afraid of these animals. Grandma, although this wolf skin is not as beautiful as tiger skin, it is also very warm. A thousand or so skins can give You have prepared some clothes."

Madam Chang couldn't help but widen her eyes, "There are really so many? Did you bring them all back?"

"Because the haste has not been dealt with, so let people toss about it, and you will see it in a few days." Chang Tingzhao didn't care how other people reacted, and looked around, "Why don't you see my second brother?"

Mrs. Chang sighed, "You go and have a look later, since you lost your child, you have been in a state of depression."

Chang Tingen's wearing a cuckold was unknown to outsiders through his dealings with outsiders, and even Mrs. Chang was kept in the dark.Although Chang Tingen's body is usually weak, it's not like this.Chang Tingzhao couldn't bear it anymore, and ran to Chang Tingen's courtyard to confess his crime to Mrs. Chang.

As soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of medicine rushed towards him. Chang Tingzhao lay on the bed with a sallow face, and he was already too thin to look like a human being.

Chang Tingzhao's eyes turned red, "Brother, why did you become like this!"

Chang Tingen smiled weakly, "Brother is fine..."

Chang Tingzhao yelled loudly, "It's still nothing! Could it be that something is wrong after death?"

Chang Tingen choked, and Chang Tingzhao felt aphasia, "Brother, this time I will take you out no matter what, you can't stay here, and you will really die if you stay any longer. Since the capital is not able to cure you Doctor, I will take you to find a famous doctor elsewhere."

Chang Tingzhao laughed and propped himself up against the edge of the bed, "You're talking stupid again."

Chang Tingzhao still insisted: "I will never believe your words this time."

"I'm really fine."

Chang Tingzhao stared round directly, Chang Tingen looked outside the room, Chang Tingzhao couldn't help but frown as he watched.There were people coming and going in the yard, and what the two of them said in the house could be heard clearly outside.

Chang Tingzhao got up straight away and yelled at the yard, "Get out of here! Serve my brother like this, everyone will die."

The servants in the courtyard were startled, and they all knelt down and complained.

Impatiently, Chang Tingzhao picked up the stick and waved it wildly, "You dare to quibble, I think you are impatient!"

How dare the servants continue to stay in this yard, they all dispersed and no one dared to stay.Chang Tingzhao didn't let it go, he ran out like a beast and chased after him, beating up one by one, making several people howl and howling, only to make no one dare to stay near Chang Tingen's yard.

Only then did Chang Tingzhao return to the yard satisfied, and saw Chang Tingen standing in the yard, breathing the fresh air outside contentedly. Although his face was still thin and sallow, he didn't seem to be about to die as he was in the room just now. The appearance of returning home.

"Brother? You..."

Chang Tingen smiled brightly. Chang Tingzhao hadn't seen such a look on his face for a long time, and tears fell down unconsciously.Could this be a flashback?Chang Tingzhao was even more flustered.

"Brother, wait, I'll find a doctor for you."

Chang Tingen grabbed him and said, "Come back! You are so frizzy, you don't look like a great general planning strategies."

Chang Tingen's strength is not as strong as Chang Tingzhao's, and it is very easy to get rid of it.But Chang Tingzhao could also feel the difference, Chang Tingen didn't have this kind of strength before.

"Brother, you, you..." Chang Tingzhao stammered directly.

Chang Tingen found it funny and sad, "I'm really fine, I did this on purpose."

Chang Tingzhao was still puzzled, "Brother, you're not going to blackmail me, are you?"

Chang Tingen did not reply directly, but said: "The Thirteenth Princess has found a famous doctor for me. I am afraid that I will not be able to keep my position as a son if I have no long-term possessions. You thank him on my behalf."

Chang Tingzhao had indeed heard that Yunxi had found a famous doctor for Chang Tingen, but the two communicated very little on weekdays to prevent others from being suspicious, so he didn't know the specific situation, only that it was getting better.But just now when Chang Tingzhao saw Chang Tingen's appearance, he became flustered, so he couldn't remember that.

Moreover, Chang Tingen suffers from a chronic disease, which was not cured by several doctors before. Is that doctor really so powerful?Chang Tingen's poor health is deeply ingrained in Chang Tingzhao's mind, and Chang Tingen's appearance doesn't look good now, so he can't help but suspect that Chang Tingen deliberately deceived him.

Chang Tingen didn't understand what Chang Tingzhao was thinking, and said: "It's really impossible for my body to get better. As long as I take good care of it, it won't get worse. I heard from the doctor that if I take good care of it, I will walk around in the future. It’s not a problem. This kind of emaciation was also brought on before, and it will not be so easy to get it back in a while. I also deliberately wore a loose coat and painted my face, so I looked scary.”

Chang Tingzhao still couldn't believe it, "Really?"

Chang Tingen said with a smile: "Didn't the doctor say before that my body is too big to be good, but it is not far from ordinary people if I take good care of it."

"But……"

Chang Tingen sighed, "I was negligent."

It turned out that there was nothing wrong with the diagnosis and treatment of those imperial physicians, and the prescriptions they prescribed were correct.It's just that in order to seek a child, Chang Tingen will take medicated diet and some tonics in addition to those medicines, but these medicated diets and tonics have something that conflicts with the prescriptions he takes.If ordinary people eat it, it will be the same. Even if you eat too much, you will have diarrhea at most, and you can't find anything at all.But Chang Tingen's body couldn't take it anymore. In addition to the years, it didn't get better but became heavier. It was for this reason.

Those imperial physicians probably knew a thing or two, so it's not surprising that they deliberately concealed it.But the doctors invited from outside don't know much about it. It's not a glorious thing for a man to take medicine for a child. Most of them don't talk about it outside, so there are mistakes.

But ever since Cui Yunchan's accident happened, Chang Tingen was disgusted again. He didn't care about his son before, and now he has no reason to force him.So Chang Tingen didn't take those medicines again, and later Yunxi found a famous doctor. Unlike other doctors, this doctor asked openly and finally found out what happened.

Chang Tingzhao clenched his fists, his teeth were grinding loudly, "What a vicious heart!"

Chang Tingen also sighed: "Nowadays, those who eat are still not clean. The people in my yard are too mixed. It is not easy to deal with it. It needs a long-term plan, so now I can only pretend to be like this to protect myself. Brother, isn't it? Very useless and useless?"

The servants in Chang Tingen's courtyard were brought by Cui Yunchan, placed in Feng's concubine, sent by Mrs. Chang, and some who were left behind by Mrs. Chang.It's really not easy to deal with it. If you don't have a good name, don't worry about it, the next time you send it to serve you may be heartless. If you don't understand it, it's even worse.

Seeing Chang Tingen like this, Chang Tingzhao couldn't help feeling sad from the bottom of his heart, "Brother, you have been wronged."

Chang Tingen couldn't help laughing, "Are you embarrassing me on purpose?"

Chang Tingzhao finally smiled, "Brother, if you bear with it, those people won't be too arrogant for long."

The corners of Chang Tingen's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes looked into the distance, "I've endured it for so many years, and now I can't bear it anymore. I used to be weak and couldn't think too much, but now I can help you a little bit."

The thirteenth princess secretly sent a famous doctor to treat Chang Tingen. Chang Tingen has already noticed something. Although the two brothers did not explain it, they also understand what path they will take in the future.This is also the reason why Chang Tingen is still enduring it now. He cannot leave the Duke's Mansion at this time, and must support himself for his younger brother.

Chang Tingzhao grinned, and lightly punched Chang Tingen on the shoulder, without saying anything.

Chang Tingzhao went to court on the second day, and everyone came to announce the good news.Chang Tingzhao still looked unfazed, with a cold face and no superfluous expressions.It's just that the cold air around him is getting stronger and stronger, making people afraid to approach.Some people can't help but think of the rumor that Chang Tingzhao led his troops to angrily behead the 30 army of Xirong, blood flowed into rivers, and corpses were everywhere, which made people shudder.

The sixth prince still took care of the affairs of the court on behalf of the Ming emperor. After the ministers dealt with today's affairs one by one, the six princes turned to Chang Tingzhao.

"General Chang came back with a great victory. The emperor was very happy to hear that. He specially mentions you as the second-rank general of Shenwu, and rewards ten elixir."

People in the court couldn't help talking about it, no one knew that Emperor Ming valued elixir more than anything else, and it was not easy to practice one, so he gave Chang Tingzhao ten at once, which is a great grace.

Chang Tingzhao knelt down to thank him, his face still expressionless.It's strange to have an expression, this is a fart reward, it's just to disgust him.This elixir is poison, and it cannot be sold for money. If Zhao Qinghe finds out, he will be so angry that he will beat his chest and stamp his feet.

The sixth prince smiled slightly, and brought up the old story again, "Father thinks that you are lonely and lonely, so he married the fourth son of Marquis Zhongyi to you."

Before Chang Tingzhao could open his mouth, he took out the imperial decree, "General Chang accepts the decree."

Chang Tingzhao stood up, "This must not be the emperor's will."

The court suddenly boiled over, the sixth prince did not expect that he would dare to speak like this in front of civil and military officials, and couldn't help being furious, "Chang Tingzhao, you are so brave!"

Chang Tingzhao snorted coldly, "Sixth prince, if you go and invite the emperor here, if this is the imperial decree in the emperor's heart, I, Chang Tingzhao, will only follow you from now on."

The sixth prince narrowed his eyes, "General Chang, what do you mean?"

Uncle He Guo's yin and yang strange voice sounded, "Who doesn't know that the emperor will not see mortals again when he cultivates immortality. General Chang, you have committed a serious crime by turning a blind eye to the imperial decree. Now you want to interfere with the emperor's cultivation of immortality. This is a serious crime!"

Chang Tingzhao didn't go into it, "I'll wait until the emperor comes to see if a felony is a felony."

The sixth prince sneered, "The emperor's jade seal may be stamped on the imperial decree, and it is also written by the emperor himself..."

Chang Tingzhao interrupted directly, and said slowly, "The emperor once personally promised me that I will be the master of the marriage. If someone makes the decision for me or borrows his reputation, then there must be something different."
