Married Thrice to Salted Fish

When the emperor was seriously ill for a long time, the Ministry of Rites was already preparing for his funeral.Unexpectedly, Chu Zhengde changed the prescription for him. After two days of drinking, his condition improved and he became sober.

As an emperor, he has no merits or faults. He has been on the throne for more than [-] years. He has not made any great achievements, and he is not very prodigal.Although suspicious, but diligent in state affairs, he summoned the prince as soon as he woke up and asked him about the situation of the court when he was sick.

Nothing else matters, only the matter of Gu Fuzhou is the most troublesome.Before the emperor woke up, Xiao Teng had already withdrawn the guards of Tianji camp around Gu Fuzhou due to pressure.But the group of military generals still refused to let go, and after learning that the emperor was awake, they all went to the court to ask for an audience, as if they had been greatly wronged, and they must come to the imperial court to complain.

Lying on the dragon bed, the emperor threw Duke Wu's playbook at Xiao Teng's feet: "Look at the good deeds you have done!"

"I don't think I'm wrong." Xiao Teng looked ahead and said stubbornly, "Gu Fuzhou is full of doubts. If we can't find out the truth, how can we let him be free in Beijing and do whatever he wants. Father, don't you really worry about it? him."

The emperor said angrily: "You still don't know your mistake!"

Xiao Cheng knelt down and said, "Please tell my father clearly, what is the crime of my son and minister?"

The emperor shook his head: "You, you are still too young."

To be suspicious, the emperor is not much better than Xiao Cheng.But after sitting on the dragon chair for so long, he is well versed in the art of checks and balances, and puts the overall situation first in everything.Gu Fuzhou is suspicious, but now it is far from the time to break face with Gu Fuzhou.Although Gu Fuzhou is in the capital, he is still the aspiration of the generals in Beijing and the 30 troops from Yongliang.Besides him, Dayu could never find another God of War who was invincible in all battles.

Dayu and Xixia fought for so many years, almost emptied the treasury, and many soldiers died in battle.Even if Gu Fuzhou is suspected of being arrogant, as long as he can win the battle, it is not time to touch him.After the Northwest is pacified, we will settle with him one by one, find out the old accounts one by one, are we afraid that we will not be able to convict him?

The emperor sees people clearly.He knew that Xiao Cheng was tough, unwilling to admit defeat, arrogant and conceited, and when he ascended the throne in the future, he would never take the road of being a wise monarch who convinces people with virtue and is kind.It is possible to rule the world strictly once you lose the hearts of generals, even if you have thousands of troops, what is the use.

The emperor was exhausted physically and mentally from this illness, and after a few curses, he couldn't lift his spirits anymore, and called out, "Teng'er."

Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes.He couldn't remember the last time the emperor called him that.

"Think carefully about people's hearts." The emperor said, "other people's, including your own."

The human heart is nothing but the most useless thing in the world.Xiao Cheng lowered his head, and silently curled his lips into a sneer: "I thank you, Father, for your guidance."

Xue Ying said: "Your Majesty, General Gu is here."

The emperor insisted and said: "Let him come in. Cheng'er stay here and let me comfort Gu Fuzhou together."

Xiao Cheng held back his breath: "Yes, father."

Not long after, Gu Fuzhou walked into the hall under the leadership of the eunuch.The tall man was dressed in a military uniform, and the dark red cloak behind him was on the ground, bringing a sense of coldness.

Gu Fuzhou was about to kneel down to salute, when the emperor smiled and said, "Ai Qing doesn't need to be too polite. Xue Ying, please give me your seat."

Gu Fuzhou said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing the emperor's smiling face, Gu Fuzhou probably guessed the reason why the emperor didn't let him talk with Lin Qingyu at night and called him into the palace.

The emperor first asked about his body, and he seemed very relieved to learn that his remaining poison had been cleared up.Then he brought up the matter of Tianjiying, saying that the prince's original intention was to protect him, who would have thought that it would attract the general's dissatisfaction.

"It's the first time for the crown prince to return to prison, so it's inevitable that he will be negligent. Now that the matter is over, the military officers still need Ai Qing to explain it to them."

The emperor's words sounded like caring for his subordinates, but in fact he was protecting his son everywhere.I have to say that ginger is still old and spicy.Gu Fuzhou nodded lightly, saying introverted and deep: "I understand."

The emperor coughed twice, took the tea handed by Xiao Cheng, and said, "Speaking of which, Ai Qing is already thirty."

"I'm thirty one this year." Gu Fuzhou had a bad premonition.Generally speaking, after asking the age, you will be urged to marry.

The emperor smiled and said, "I'm already 31. When I was your age, I had several princes. It was I who kept you in the northwest, which delayed your marriage."

Even the sentence pattern of urging marriage was exactly as he expected.Gu Fuzhou said: "Northwest is still undecided, I don't care about family affairs."

"You can't say that. You are away all the year round, how can you do it without anyone in the house." The emperor thought for a while, and said, "My seventh princess is in her prime, what does Ai Qing think?"

Xiao Cheng quickly understood the emperor's intention.Betrothing the princess to Gu Fuzhou can appease the generals and let them know that Dayu attaches great importance to them; secondly, placing a regular wife beside Gu Fuzhou is much more useful than guards.

Xiao Cheng said with a half smile but not a smile: "To tell the truth from my father, Seventh Sister has admired General Gu's heroic appearance for a long time, and she will definitely not object to this marriage."

Gu Fuzhou flatly refused: "The seventh princess admires me, but I already have someone I like."

"Let's hear it, which family's lady is it? I can give you a marriage."

...Here he goes again.If you like bestowing marriages so much, why don't you become an emperor and become a matchmaker instead.

Gu Fuzhou said: "Then I still don't have it."

Xiao Cheng said coldly: "Gu Fuzhou, do you think this is a joke? If you say there is, there is, and if you say there is no, there is no?"

The emperor scolded: "Prince." Then he said slowly, "Since there is no one, I will let you meet the Seventh Princess some other day. If they don't match each other, I will ask the Queen to choose you from among the noble girls." One you like. No matter which one you like, I will decide for you."

Gu Fuzhou still wanted to refuse, but the emperor coughed again, not giving him a chance to speak: "I'm tired, Ai Qing should step down."

The emperor's condition improved, and after a few days of rest, he could barely stand up and sit up.Chu Zhengde took the lead in this matter, and the emperor wanted to reward him greatly, but Chu Zhengde told the emperor that the new prescription was not made by him, but by the seventh-rank imperial physician Lin Qingyu.

The emperor had an impression of this name, and asked, "But the man and wife who prepared the prescription for the epidemic?"

Chu Zhengde said: "It is this person."

The emperor has been ill for such a long time, it is rare for someone to heal him, so there is no need to care about whether a man or wife is a man or not: "I pass on my oral order, Lin Qingyu is promoted to be a fifth-rank imperial physician."

In Dayu, the highest rank in the imperial hospital is the judge of the fifth rank, followed by the deputy judge and imperial doctor of the fifth rank.Lin Qingyu saved the emperor's life, and was promoted to three ranks in a row, and he was on an equal footing with Chu Zhengde, and his official position was equivalent to Yushi Zhongcheng of Yushitai.

When Lin Qingyu went to the emperor's bedroom to thank him, a male servant accompanied the emperor.The waiter was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his stature was as slender as a woman's.But seeing him sitting on the footrest, with his head nestled on the emperor's lap, he was cute and cute, like a pet.

Seeing Lin Qingyu, the emperor hesitated and said, "I...have seen you before?" If he had seen such a face before, how could he have no impression at all.

Lin Qingyu said: "Half a year ago, I had the honor to meet Tianyan."

The emperor looked at him for a long time, and said: "You and Chu Zheng will serve the holy car together in the future."

The so-called attendant holy driver means that he and Chu Zhengde routinely diagnose the emperor's pulse, give acupuncture and prescribe prescriptions every day, as if he has become a close minister of the emperor.But thinking of the way the emperor looked at him, Lin Qingyu hoped that Chu Zhengde would take the credit away from him.It's a pity that although the old man has different political views from him, he is also a very principled person, and he doesn't bother to take credit for the younger generation.

After the day's shift ended, Lin Qingyu walked out of the imperial hospital, and saw Gu Fuzhou standing against the palace wall with his hands crossed, his face gloomy, his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

"General."

Gu Fuzhou stood up straight with his legs, and smiled: "Doctor Lin."

Lin Qingyu asked: "Why is the general here?"

"The empress invited me into the palace to enjoy the flowers. After the viewing, I will drop by to pick up Doctor Lin from get off work."

Well done, why did the empress invite Gu Fuzhou to enjoy the flowers.The last time she invited someone to enjoy the flowers was when she was choosing a side concubine for Xiao Teng.

The two waved back the leading eunuch and walked to a place where no one was around.Gu Fuzhou hesitated to speak: "Qing Yu."

"Say."

Gu Fuzhou took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "Would you like to marry me home?"

Lin Qingyu paused: "What?"

Gu Fuzhou clasped his hands together and put them on his forehead: "Please do me a favor and marry me home."

Lin Qingyu looked at him twice with weighing eyes, without hesitation: "I don't want to marry."

Gu Fuzhou had already guessed that Lin Qingyu would refuse, but he still choked up and asked unwillingly, "Why?"

Lin Qingyu was puzzled: "Why should I marry you?"

Gu Fuzhou tried to brainwash him: "You were married to me once, don't you want to marry me once and get back the dignity of a man?"

"Not very much."

Gu Fuzhou seemed to put on a mask called pain: "But if you don't marry me, I will be married again."

Lin Qingyu frowned: "Again? Marriage?"

Gu Fuzhou told Lin Qingyu that the emperor wanted to betroth the seventh princess to him.It turned out that today's flower viewing session of the queen group was a blind date between him and the seventh princess.

Lin Qingyu smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Isn't this very good. You are not masculine, that is, you like women. The Seventh Princess is beautiful, gentle and considerate, and she is golden branches and jade leaves, more than enough for you."

"That won't work." Gu Fuzhou said seriously, "I'm not of my actual age. In my hometown, a man must be at least 22 years old to get married."

"In this case, why can you marry me again?"

Gu Fuzhou smiled and said: "If it was you, it's okay to marry early and have children early - just let the law punish me, I admit it."

Lin Qingyu's face became quite uncomfortable.Gu Fuzhou climbed up smoothly: "Doctor Lin, you should think about it. Don't you think it's very face-saving to marry a God of War?"

"Don't marry." Lin Qingyu said coolly, "General Gu is dead, and I don't know where his soul belongs to. You took his body and didn't continue the glory of his god of war, but let him carry a 'boyfriend' on his back." '' name?"

"I can't help it." Gu Fuzhou was so depressed that he began to force his words, "You saved the emperor, and he came to give me a marriage. You should be responsible for me."

Lin Qingyu sneered: "You really have the face to say it. If I don't save the emperor and allow Xiao Cheng to ascend the throne smoothly, I'm afraid your situation will be even more difficult."

Gu Fuzhou sighed: "Okay, then go and do your work, don't worry about me, I won't bother you. It's okay, I can figure out a way to solve this matter myself. I'm fine."

Lin Qingyu twitched his brows: "Can you stop making such a pitiful expression on General Gu's face. When a man gets married, he also needs to wear a little powder and daisy, Fengguanxiapei. If you are still Lu Wancheng, it's okay to do so. But now you are Gu Fuzhou, using the body of General Gu to apply red makeup and decals between the eyebrows—" Lin Qingyu imagined the scene, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, "I'm afraid that if I lift the hijab, I will have nightmares after seeing it."

Gu Fuzhou was startled.He never expected that Lin Qingyu's refusal to him was not because of some plausible reasons such as "it's not good to be a man", "it's against the sky for two men to get married", "to marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous man, you are too lazy", but Is it... Do you think he is ugly in wedding clothes and painted flowers?

Gu Fuzhou savored Lin Qingyu's words, and carefully probed: "You don't want to marry, so are you willing...to marry again?"

Lin Qingyu was thoughtful: "Or, there are other ways."

As soon as Gu Fuzhou met his secretly excited eyes, he knew that the beauty was going to do something bad again.

"Tonight, you come to my house." Lin Qingyu said.
