Chapter 122 Empress Dowager Cao

Along the way, Wang Jinghui had a few words with the old eunuch, and only then did he know that his surname was Liu. From the messy information spit out from the mouth of Eunuch Liu, combined with the history of Empress Dowager Cao that Wang Jinghui knew, he knew that this old guy had served Empress Dowager Cao for decades. After experiencing several palace storms like the palace rebellion in history, and he lived long enough, he was actually the eunuch in Cishou Palace, and was deeply trusted by Empress Dowager Cao. However, Wang Jinghui participated in the planning of the Puyi fight. When he thought of the handwritten edict signed by the empress dowager, he couldn't help but wonder if Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu bribed the people around Empress Dowager Cao forged the handwritten eunuch. Is it this Eunuch Liu?

However, Wang Jinghui would not be stupid enough to prove this matter indirectly. After all, he is not Yingzong Zhao Shu, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and others. For them, the victory of the Puyi Gladiator was a brilliant political victory, but for him, his anger in the face of Empress Dowager Cao was not a joke. It would be harmful to him to keep a tight mouth. It would be better that Empress Dowager Cao would never know the role he played in the Puyi Gladiator.

Although Wang Jinghui had never spoken to Empress Dowager Cao, he had seen him several times. When he saw that the old woman had a long life and had a long life, she must have lived longer than Emperor Yingshu. Whether in history or now, the relationship between the royal family he saw. This Empress Dowager Cao was a god in the royal family of the Zhao Song Dynasty. Although his wife, Princess Shu, helped him at a critical moment in the Puyi, she still respected Empress Dowager Cao very much. In the past year, she married the Princess of Shu, and has heard her talk about Empress Dowager Cao's wise actions back then. Wang Jinghui still understood the weight of Empress Dowager Cao in the princess of Shu.

Wang Jinghui's guess about Eunuch Liu was correct. In the Puyi period, it was this old guy who stole the jade seal of Empress Dowager Cao without any knowledge, which helped Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu and Han Qi to overcome the difficulties. However, in addition to Han Qi's long-term management, he always attached great importance to this Eunuch Liu, who was trusted by Empress Dowager Cao, who could get great benefits from Han Qi, and he was not as unbearable as Wang Jinghui thought. Speaking it out might make Wang Jinghui drop his chin: He is actually the loyal guardian of the Zhao Song royal family!

This is not the management of emperors of all dynasties, but the favor of Emperor Renzong to him, which made him finally become the royal family. Just as Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu thought at the beginning, the person he was loyal to was changed. Although this old eunuch was deeply trusted by Empress Dowager Cao, he was finally the emperor! If Wang Jinghui knew why Han Qi and others were able to succeed so smoothly, it was because of the old guy's idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor, then he would have to go crazy.

However, gold, silver and treasures are naturally indispensable to impress Eunuch Liu. If the 400 stakes that Wang Jinghui gave him just now were put on ordinary days, this old guy would really disdain. Because as a popular man around Empress Dowager Cao, the things he collected were naturally not the kind of rustic tricks. Han Qi gave him all the calligraphy and paintings of famous artists and precious porcelain, and the things he gave him could only be dismissed by the low-level eunuchs. However, he had received a lot of good things that the princess of Shu Kingdom gave him, and all kinds of glassware that were popular among the high-ranking nobles in the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles in Biandu were equipped here. He also knew that the prince-consort had met him temporarily, otherwise he would not have given these brothels that he looked down upon. However, in order to appease the prince-consort, he had to "reluctantly" accept them.

You should not ride a horse and a car when walking around the palace. Only heavyweight figures like the emperor and the empress dowager can have this privilege. Therefore, Eunuch Liu led Wang Jinghui around the huge palace. When he arrived at Cishou Palace, he spent more time than he took a car to the prince-consort's mansion. This really made Wang Jinghui sigh at the huge and luxurious residence of his father-in-law. He couldn't help but complain: If the money for building the palace was used to fight, Xixia would probably have been destroyed long ago. Next time, he would have to fight for royal expenses. Otherwise, Han Qi would not be poor if he guarded such a hole?!

With the second person in Cishou Palace like Liu, Wang Jinghui quickly arrived outside a small door. Here, Liu said: "The Empress Dowager is rare to see strangers. Since Emperor Renzong's grand ceremony, the Empress Dowager has almost rarely seen guests. Only Mr. Han, Mr. Fu, Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Zeng and Sima can meet the Empress Dowager. Although Mr. Wang is a royal relative, you have to wait here for a while. Mr. Rong will report first and return in a moment!"

Eunuch Liu knew that although the young man in front of him was the son-in-law, he was a relative of the foreign country, but he was a person valued by the emperor today. In addition, he grew up with the princess of Shu, and he was extremely filial to him after marriage, so he was particularly polite to Wang Jinghui. If he put it on others, even the Sansi envoy Han Jiang would not take a glance at him. This was considered extremely polite to the son-in-law.

Wang Jinghui also knew that Empress Dowager Cao was very upright in history. In the history books he had read, it seemed that only Han Qi and Fu Bi could see her at the first time. Usually, except for the royal family, they almost never see guests. Even when they meet Han Qi, they would have to hang pearl curtains. On the way, Eunuch Liu also emphasized to him the rules set by Empress Dowager Cao in Cishou Palace. He naturally understood Eunuch Liu's words and said: "Please be bother me, I know the Empress Dowager's rules!"

After Eunuch Liu opened the door and went in, Wang Jinghui waited at the door. After a while, Eunuch Liu waved to him and let him go in. Sure enough, in a small living room that seemed to be specially used to entertain guests, Wang Jinghui once again "saw" the Queen Mother Cao, who was highly praised in history. In addition to Empress Dowager Cao, there were also Princess of Shu Kingdom, King Ying Zhao Xu, Prince Zhao Hao of Dongyang County, and Han Qi and Fubi in the small living room. The small living room was concentrated in all the powerful figures. Of course, Mrs. Cao, the owner of Huishou Palace, was sitting upright behind the pearl curtain, and Wang Jinghui could still see her through the pearl curtain.

After Wang Jinghui entered the living room, Eunuch Liu placed a cushion in front of his ground. He knelt down and kowtowed three times and said, "Please pay tribute to our ancestors! I wish our ancestors good health!"

Behind the pearl curtain, there was the voice of Empress Dowager Cao without any emotion: "Please get up, please come up, Liu He will show the seat for the princess!" Wang Jinghui then dared to raise his head, and under the gesture of Eunuch Liu's eyes, he sat next to the princess of Shu Kingdom.

Han Qi next to him seemed very nervous when he saw Wang Jinghui. Of course, he knew what the adopted son was worried about. No one could have thought that the last plan in Puyi fight was the princess of the current eldest princess. However, this kid did not expect that the wife admired the most was Empress Cao. Now that he knew, he was afraid of meeting him! Han Qi was thinking about this "adopted son" that he couldn't see through. No matter what, he had a good impression of Wang Jinghui, but he also "deeply hated" Wang Jinghui's identity as "son-in-law". But it was Wang Jinghui's "idiot" behavior that made him feel at a loss: Wang Jinghui is definitely not like Wang Mang in history! If the prince-in-law of the Tang Dynasty still had a chance to rebel, in the face of the practice of accumulated over a century of years of Song Dynasty, the prince-in-law would never have the opportunity to stabilize the peak of power!

Prime Minister Han Qi coughed and said to Wang Jinghui who was still not very adaptable: "Change it, don't be nervous! Today the Empress Dowager summoned you to the Lord for the health of the emperor. You and the Empress Dowager have to make a statement in truth!"

Wang Jinghui glanced at Han Qi and knew that the old guy understood what he was worried about. He also understood that Han Qi's mouth was very firm and could keep the secret. He despised Han Qi in his heart: Of course, you don't have to be afraid of Empress Dowager Cao. My foundation is shallow. If the old woman knows that I'm making trouble behind Pu Yi, then don't strangle me to death?!

Wang Jinghui put away this mood, sorted out his thoughts in his heart, stood up and bowed to Empress Dowager Cao and said, "The emperor's body is now focused on recuperation, and I also want the emperor to restore the health of the dragon body as soon as possible. However, the symptoms of the emperor are extremely complicated and cannot be cured by medicine. Only by using medicine to recuperate can you feel at ease!"

The reason why Han Qi was able to serve as the first candidate in the correctional medical bookstore was that he had two skills in medicine, although he was not as good as those famous doctors in the country. However, he was also considered a medical enthusiast. This was also influenced by the Zhao Song royal family's special attention to the development of medicine. Even if many officials in the court were not bad, when it comes to medicine, there were still many nouns in their mouths.

Han Qi said: "Change it, the Empress Dowager wants you to tell the truth, you don't have to worry. To be honest, how is the body of the Emperor? Every imperial physician would say what you just now. The reason why the Empress Dowager called you here is because you are the prince consort and are well-versed in medicine. The Empress Dowager cannot trust those things said by the Imperial Dowager!"

Empress Dowager Cao, who had not spoken much at this time, said: "Mr. Han is right. Please tell me the truth. In addition to the royal family, this place is a top official in the court, but it's okay!"

After hearing this, Wang Jinghui knew that this level was not as good as fooling her father-in-law just now, so he knelt on the ground and said, "Qi Gong, the symptoms that the emperor suffered from were actually caused by poor qi and blood throughout the body. It would be of course not difficult to deal with if he could be treated thoroughly in his childhood. However, over time, this disease has become a stubborn disease. Rasplying medicine will damage the health of the dragon body. Only with drugs to relieve the care of the emperor is the right way! You cannot overwork during the care period, and your emotions must also be relieved, otherwise... otherwise..."

Fu Bi was so upset by Wang Jinghui's "otherwise" that he asked hurriedly: "What else will happen?!"

Wang Jinghui said: "Overwork and emotional ups and downs will seriously damage the dragon body, and it is easy to get sick suddenly. Moreover, there are few signs before the onset, which is difficult to prevent. After the onset, the body will be paralyzed at the mildest, and the seriousness will be..." Wang Jinghui knew that if a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease suddenly occurs, it is easy to cause hemiplegia, and it is not a strange thing to lose life if it is improper treatment. What's more, there are no advanced first aid equipment in the 21st century in this era. The most inverted Chinese medicine is that the treatment plan for first aid is too poor. Even if he stays by Yingzong for 24 hours, his role is very limited and he will not play any role at all.

Several people in the living room were smart people. They naturally understood what the word "serious" after Wang Jinghui's words "serious" meant. For a moment, everyone in the living room fell into silence. Wang Jinghui knocked his head down and did not dare to lift it up. He was also very depressed. After a while, Empress Dowager Cao's voice sounded again in the hall: "The prince-consort means. The Ai family and the important ministers understand. The Ai family want to know what the effect of the prince-consort prescribed pharmacy?"

Wang Jinghui said: "In fact, the landlord medicine in the prescription I prescribed to the priest has been used on His Highness Ying. His Highness Ying also has symptoms similar to the priest, but it is very mild. Now he only has some frequent headaches, but it has been greatly relieved after taking the medicine. I believe that this main medicine will also play a role in His Highness Ying's body!"

King Ying Zhao Xu always had headaches, and everyone in the hall knew about this. After Wang Jinghui said that Empress Dowager Cao, Han Qi and Fu Bi remembered that Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu also had headaches and had a headache back then, and they felt a little chill! However, in the past year, Zhao Xu rarely called for headaches. He heard that it was all the result of the medicine given by this son-in-law himself. It seemed that the effect was still very good, and the turmoil in his heart calmed down.

King Ying Zhao Xu stood up and bowed to Empress Dowager Cao and said, "Old ancestor, the headaches of grandson are caused by the prince consort's wonderful hands. Although I started taking some medicine, the headaches rarely occur until now. I no longer take medicine. I just drink tea as the prince consort's instructions!"

Wang Jinghui now wished he could kiss this brother-in-law and praised in his heart: "You boy is so energetic, it's worth the effort I have put on you!" He said seriously: "Your Highness Ying is still taking medicine now, but I have mixed medicine powder into tea, and your highness just doesn't know! This medicine is used in the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physicians. It is a leaf called 'ginkgo' in Bashu. Before I came to Biandu, I had sent people to Bashu to pick it. This leaf is harmless to the human body. It has long-term use of blood circulation and energy. Although it is slow, it has the effect of being very good. I have discussed it with the imperial physicians. After they have checked it first, they can take it to the emperor!"

The words of King Ying Zhao Xu are very important. Wang Jinghui's subsequent additions also reassure others a lot. Wang Jinghui could see Han Qi, and the expression on Fu Bi's face was obviously relaxed, compared to the old lady Cao behind the pearl curtain. Although this old woman caused a lot of trouble in the court when Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu succeeded to the throne, which gave Zhao Shu and Han Qi a headache, they were also asking for it. This was also due to the decades of husband-to-wife relationship between her and Renzong, and she counterattacked the face of her deceased husband. At this point, Wang Jinghui was very clear. After all, Empress Dowager Cao in history has always been in the upper hand on the issue of Puyi, but she has no nostalgia for power. Letting Zhao Shu take power is just a saying that she will remove the curtain and remove the curtain. Her decisive style makes men ashamed. Wang Jinghui admires it very much.

In this living room, the brothers of Empress Dowager Cao and King Zhao Xu of Ying were representative royal families, and Han Qi and Fu Bi were representatives of the ruling high-level positions. Wang Jinghui's briefing on the physical condition and treatment plan of Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu also made each of them very satisfied. Although they were worried, they were relieved with the iron evidence of King Yingzong Zhao Xu of Ying, and were much optimistic about the prospects of the physical condition of Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu.

After all, there was Han Qi and Fu Bi in the hall. People in the royal family who could relax around Empress Dowager Cao in the past could not talk about some relaxed topics at will. After Empress Dowager Cao knew what she wanted to know, she did not make things difficult for Wang Jinghui. With a wave of her jade hand, Eunuch Liu next to her naturally understood it and let everyone disperse. Wang Jinghui was also relieved: This doctor's profession is really hard to be, especially the imperial doctor. He doubted how these ancient colleagues survived. If he was allowed to be an imperial doctor, he would pass away soon. No wonder the real famous doctors in ancient times never refused to be an imperial doctor. They all feared this title of "glorious" as if they were tigers and wolves. So that's it!

After walking out of the palace gate, Han Qi and Fu Bi who were walking in front of him both stopped. Han Qi said, "Change it, come to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight. Our family has not yet gathered well!"

For Han Qi's invitation, even if he was a knife in the sky, he had to feel that this cheap adoptive father was too important to him. There were many things that needed his help, and of course he had to book a next dinner with Fu Bi.

After seeing off Han Qi and Fu Bi, Wang Jinghui greedily breathed two free air, and felt much more happy. He did not expect that he would cause so many troubles when he kindly checked his father-in-law's physical condition and did not expect that he would cause such a lot of trouble for his father-in-law to check his body and adjust the treatment plan. However, it was this physical examination for Zhao Shu that made him feel confident about his father-in-law's physical condition, and he also knew that it was not only him who cared about his father-in-law's physical condition. For different purposes and interests, more people stared at Zhao Shu in Funing Hall.
