Chapter 206: The height of the temple (36)

As the evening began, smoke rose from several courtyards of the Daliang Hou Mansion, and the fragrance of food quietly penetrated into thousands of households with the night.

The soldiers with swords stood straight on both sides of the gate of the Hou Mansion, all with tigers and bears, and were full of murderous aura. Tao Qilang carried the medicine box and followed Qin Jiahe into the Hou Mansion with some fear.

Half a month ago, the son of Hou Xiang was feeling a little uncomfortable. The well-known Tao Qilang was ordered to enter the mansion to treat Hou Zonglin. Today is the third time that Tao Qilang entered the Marquis' Mansion. However, when Tao Qilang stepped into the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, he was still feeling weak. Tao Qilang secretly exclaimed: "The ancestors of the Tao family were imperial doctors in the Tang Dynasty, and they were specially used to treat the emperor. Now they are just treating the prime minister's family. It's nothing special."

Tao Qilang, who was cheering up, turned several bends with the butler Qin Jiahe, and then came to an independent courtyard. This was an inconspicuous small courtyard next to the main courtyard where he had been here last time. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Tao Qilang called out inwardly: "It's a bitter." He saw two lion-like dogs standing in the courtyard, holding square giants, with limbs as thick as human arms, and long and dense hair on his body. When he saw someone coming in, he emitted a thunder from the depths of his throat.

Tao Qilang had never seen such a ferocious fierce dog, and his feet became weak. If he hadn't grabbed Qin Jiahe, the butler in front, he would have sat down on the ground.

The tiger in the forest loved these two fierce dogs from the banks of Qingshui River. He proudly said Tao Qilang, who was no one on the ground, said: "Don't be afraid, you are rampant, domineering will not bite you."

This kind of dog comes from the banks of the Qingshui River. According to the old man from Fangdang tribe, the ancestors of the Dangxiang people once lived with the Tubo people. The Tubo people like to raise this big dog. Later, after the Dangxiang people moved north, they brought this giant dog to the banks of the Qingshui River and became a good helper for the Dangxiang people to grazing.

Hou Dayong knew that this kind of dog on the banks of Qingshui River was a Tibetan mastiff that was famous in later generations. When he returned to Daliang, he specially brought back two pure breeds of puppies from Qingshui River. They were usually kept in Hou Dayong's villa. One was named Lunxing and the other was named Domineering. After a few months of returning to Daliang, the dog's figure had surpassed that of an ordinary big dog. Lunxing's chest was particularly wide. There were yellow dots on his eyebrows and a dense mane. It squinted his eyes and looked at Tao Qilang with a contemptuous look.

After entering the room, Tao Qilang was still in shock, and his eyes remained looking at the two fierce dogs in the yard. When Hou Dayong entered the reception room, Tao Qilang hurriedly fell to the ground.

"Tao Lang. His medical skills are good. He cured the child's illness with a prescription." Hou Dayong looked at Tao Qilang kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up, I told you last time that you are in the inner courtyard. There is no need to perform this great gift."

On that day, in Caoshi outside Daliang City, Hou Dayong rescued Tao Qilang, who was good at pediatrics, and asked Tao Qilang to practice medicine in the city, and gave Xiao Li's wife to Tao Qilang. Tao Qilang was lucky in disguise and practiced medicine in Daliang City. Tao Qilang's ancestors were doctors in medicine in the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally had some real medical skills. Soon, Tao Qilang gained some reputation in the Nancheng District.

Hou Dayong waited until Tao Qilang got up, his face became serious and said, "Your Majesty's third princess is three years old this year. He suddenly had an emergency the day before yesterday. It was very dangerous. The imperial physician in the palace was helpless. Tao Qi, if you can cure the third princess, you will be able to get wealth and honor."

Although Hou Dayong said that, he did not have much confidence in Tao Qilang. After Tao Qi came to Daliang, although he had temporarily revealed his head in pediatrics, the imperial physicians and medical skills in the Great Zhou Palace were also very good. Even if Tao Qi's medical skills were good, he was not as good as a senior imperial physician.

Fu Ying's idea was actually Fu Ying's idea to let Tao Qi enter the palace.

Tao Qi suddenly heard that he wanted to treat the third princess. His heart tightened again, and his legs began to become weak again. He stuttered: "If you don't have good medical skills, you may have a trust from the prince."

During this period, Tao Qilang's life has completely deviated from normal track. Some Tao Qilang sat in a spacious and bright clinic full of special fragrance of herbs. Looking at the crowds coming and going on the streets, he still felt that the experience of the previous period was like a dream: first he was falsely accused by the Li family for adultery with Xiao Li's wife, and was taken to Caoshi by the Li family and was humiliated by the Li family. Then he was rescued by the Hou Xiang, and inexplicably came to Daliang City to take a medical treatment. The most bizarre thing is that the extremely beautiful Xiao Li actually became a fake and really became his concubine.

Now Tao Qilang's monthly income in the hall can match the income of the past two years. Seeing the increasing amount of money in the wooden boxes containing money, Tao Qilang also began to make small plans. In just one or two years, he would have the ability to build real estate in Daliang City. When he had real estate in Daliang City, he could bring his mother and wife to Daliang City to live, which would be considered as fulfilling his son's filial piety.

Tao Qilang now regards Hou Dayong as a living Bodhisattva who has fallen from the sky.

After all, Tao Qilang is a country doctor. When he thought of treating the princess, he began to panic out of instinct.

As soon as Tao Qilang finished speaking, Fu Ying, wearing heavy makeup, appeared at the door. She said, "Mr. Tao gave a child a prescription last time. The medicine was cured and the medical skills were very good. Now the third princess is seriously ill, so you don't have to refuse. If you need any medicine, hurry up and get it, and we will go to the palace later."

When Tao Qilang saw Fu Ying coming in, he immediately stood up and knelt down to salute. Fu Ying was anxious. Tao Qilang's mother-in-law said impatiently: "There is a fire, so there is no need to perform these false gifts. Mr. Tao get up quickly."

Tao Qilang knew that this matter could no longer be refused, so he calmed down and said, "What are the symptoms of the third princess? It is also easy for villains to prescribe the right medicine."

Fu Ying briefly talked about the third princess' condition. Tao Qilang lowered his head and thought for a while. Because he did not observe with his own eyes, he did not dare to make random assertions, so he said the truth: "Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes looking, listening, asking, and touching. The villain really dared not make random attributions, and he still had to prescribe the prescription after meeting."

Fu Ying nodded and turned her head to Feng Sha outside the door and said, "Feng Senjun, ask Mr. Qin to prepare two cars." Mr. Qin basically does not enter this small courtyard. After bringing Tao Qilang into the small courtyard today, Qin Jiahe retreated.

When Tao Qilang and Feng Shadu left the courtyard, Fu Ying said to Hou Dayong: "Maybe I want to live in the palace tonight, please don't blame me."

Fu Ying had just returned from Fu Qi Palace, but the heavy makeup was not removed, and the heavy makeup could not hide Fu Ying's fatigue. Hou Dayong did not like Fu Ying's makeup, so in order to relieve Fu Ying's worry, he reached out to hold Fu Ying's hand. He looked Fu Ying up and down for a while, and joked: "I still like Xiao Ying's plain face, and the lotus comes out of the clear water, and naturally carves it."

Fu Ying knew that the husband was comforting him, so she gently brushed Hou Dayong's palm with her fingers and said gently: "The palace seems calm, but in fact it is as cruel as the battlefield. My sister is still young. Xiaoying was entrusted by her father to help her sister." Hou Dayong hugged Fu Ying and said: "No need to explain, I understand."

Before leaving, Fu Ying could not hide her anxiety and said to herself, "I hope Tao Qilang can rejuvenate her life with great skills." Seeing the two carriages hurried towards the palace, Hou Dayong restrained his smile and felt quite heavy. He understood Fu Ying very well: the struggle in the palace was actually a battle where the swords and swords were invisible, and its cruelty would be somewhat jaw-dropping.

Fu Ying was concerned about the condition of the third princess. In fact, for the sixth sister of the Fu family, as long as the sixth sister of the Fu family has a status in the palace, the Fu family will be a prominent family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the sixth sister of the Fu family loses their position in the palace, many things are predictable. Perhaps one day, a major disaster will come to the Fu family.

After Empress Fu passed away, according to Empress Fu's last wish, the young sister of the Fu family was sent to the palace. However, two years after entering the palace, the young sister of the Fu family had no identity after entering the palace. Chai Rong was diligent in political affairs and rarely went to the side palace of the young sister of the Fu family. The young sister of the Fu family was in an extremely embarrassing situation in the palace.

The eunuchs in the palace often live in the deep palace and are physically disabled. They have more or less perverted mental disorders. When Queen Fu was alive, these eunuchs wanted to stick their hot faces under the feet of the Fu sisters. However, when the eunuchs saw the Fu sisters not becoming the queen, they quickly changed their hot faces to cold butts, and from time to time made things difficult for some trivial matters. The young sisters in the palace were isolated and helpless, and were also troubled by the eunuchs and treated coldly. Naturally, they lived like years.

In the harem, the four concubines, the imperial concubine, Concubine De, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian. Concubine Liu died earlier than Empress Fu. After Concubine Liu and Empress Fu died one after another, the two positions of the Empress and Concubine were empty. These two positions have irresistible magic to the beauties in the harem.

After Chai Rong's two sons died in a misfortune in the Later Han Dynasty, after Chai Rong's continuous efforts over the past few years, Empress Fu and the three noble concubines added descendants to Chai Rong. Among them, Chai Zongxun, the son of Empress Fu, the son of Concubine Ling De, Chai Xirang, the son of Concubine Tian Shu, Chai Xijin, the fifth princess Chai Xiang, and the son of Concubine Wang Zhaoyi.

Concubine Ling De and Concubine Zhu Xian gave birth to daughters, so they no longer had the idea of ​​competing for the queen. Concubine Tian Shu's father was the crown prince Shaobao Tian Min. She came from a family. She gave birth to two more sons. The mother was noble because of her son and was most likely to become the queen. Therefore, Concubine Tian Shu was most eager to be the queen. After the young sister of the Fu family entered the palace, Concubine Tian Shu regarded the young sister of the Fu family as the enemy and always tried every means to help the young sister of the Fu family.

Before Queen Fu's death, she was extremely favored by Chai Rong. She said the same thing in the harem, suppressing her two sons, Concubine Di Tian Shu, and Concubine Zhu Xian couldn't even raise her head in the palace. After Queen Fu's death, Concubine Tian Shu's mother was a little arrogant in the palace.

Under the pressure of Tian Shufei, Concubine Ling De and the young sister of the Fu family naturally got together. Concubine Ling De was extremely smart and knew that she could not become the queen. She wanted the young sister of the Fu family to become the queen. She kept giving advice to the young sister of the Fu family and teaching her how to win Chai Rong's favor. The young sister of the Fu family was named the imperial concubine, and Concubine Ling De made an indelible contribution in this.

Concubine Tian Shu is also not a good-looking person. She is determined to be the queen, so she wins over Concubine Zhu Xian, who has no son, and fights openly and secretly with Concubine Ling De and the Fu family.

Fu Ying knew the situation in the palace well. At this time, the young sister of the Fu family had only been named the Imperial Concubine, one step away from the queen. Concubine Ling De was the most powerful helper of the young sister of the Fu family. Therefore, when Concubine Ling De's daughter, the third princess, was seriously ill, Fu Ying, who knew that she had experienced the danger, was even more worried than the young sister of the Fu family.

Hou Dayong returned to the study room, and Meng Shu was still waiting patiently in the study room.

Hou Dayong called Meng Shu to the study, mainly because he suspected the Taoist who entered the palace. At this time, Fu Ying came back from the palace and knew the origin of the two Taoists. Hou Dayong sat next to the wide Hu table and tapped the table gently, "The Taoist priest who entered the palace today is Tang Shi, a famous Taoist in Shu. He traveled to Daliang last month and was recommended by Taichangqing Situ Xu to Concubine Ling De."

Taichangqing Situ Xu was the Minister of Personnel before and had made many conveniences for Hou Dayong. Of course, he also obtained a lot of money from Hou Dayong. Meng Shu was also very familiar with this person. He analyzed: "In this way, Tang Shi has a clear origin and there should be no problem. His fight with two other Taoist priests may be a conflict between the sects."

The Great Zhou Dynasty sent Feng Jiye and Wang Yanchao to Qinchuan. In fact, the intention of the Zuiweng was not to Western Shu. Instead, it confuses the king and ministers of the Liao Kingdom. Of course, the more realistic the plan of attacking the west, the better. Therefore, he was particularly sensitive to the movements in Western Shu. At this time, a Taoist Taoist in the Western Shu who was quite good at mingling among the Great Zhou Palace and important officials was really worried.

Hou Dayong tapped the table with his hand and didn't say anything for a long time.

Randomly, Domineering let out a few roars from his chest. Then, he heard the sound of the pigeon "flapping" his wings. Randomly, Domineering has natural hostility towards the pigeons in the yard. Every time the pigeon flew into the yard, it seemed like a picture to attack the pigeon falling from the sky, but the pigeon cage was extremely high. The carrier pigeon was also guarded against the two fierce dogs and never flew low or rampantly. Domineering can only sigh at the pigeon.

Hou Dayong had made up his mind at this time and said, "Extraordinary methods should be used in extraordinary times. It is better to wrongly accuse ten people than to let one go. Menglang sent someone to keep an eye on Tang Shi, but the operation of Feiying Hall must be careful and not easily expose the target. There are also the two Taoist priests who duel with Tang Shi, which should be Xuzhou Ling Jing. He also sent someone to keep an eye on him."

Fu Ying didn't return to the mansion in the early morning of the next day, with a haggard and disappointed face.

"Tang Shi and Tao Qilang were both left in Fuqi Palace. Both of them prescribed prescriptions. This morning, there was still no effect. Your Majesty did not sleep all night in Fuqi Palace. His Majesty's mouth was blisters." After closing the door, Fu Ying leaned against Hou Dayong's chest, tears destroyed the heavy makeup. Left several obvious traces. "Mr. Lang Jun. It would be great if Han Qi followed him back to Daliang. He had a very high medical skills. Maybe there was a way to save the third princess." Fu Ying was anxious and went to the doctor at this time, and thought about the famous doctors with great thoughts.

"Han Qi was in the army for several years and was most proficient in treating trauma and treating children's diseases. He is not as good as the imperial physician and Tao Qilang in the palace."

Hou Dayong suddenly remembered that when the epidemic broke out in Zhengzhou, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Zhi, once presented medicine to effectively curb the epidemic, and said casually: "When I was in Zhengzhou, an epidemic broke out in Zhengzhou and Xuzhou. Zhi, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, presented medicine. When he presented medicine, he said that the prescription was passed down by An Shigao. Looking back now, there is such a symptomatic prescription, I think the medical skills of the master of Intelligence are really extraordinary."

Fu Ying was like a person who fell into the water to catch a life-saving straw, and immediately raised her head and said, "Hey, why didn't you say it earlier? Shaolin Temple is not far away. Hurry up and send someone to invite the intelligent master."

"The intelligent master is a paradise. We must not lack etiquette. After the morning court, we sent a minister of the Ministry of Rites to personally invite the master. However, the master likes to travel around the world. I don't know if he is still in Shaolin Temple at this moment. If he is not in the temple, he may have to go through this trouble."

When Fu Ying heard this, she suddenly remembered something and said, "The new abbot of Tianjing Temple is a Taoist monk from Shaolin Temple. I wonder if he has the ability of an intelligent master."

Hou Dayong felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the name of Tianjing Temple, but this unhappiness slid through his mind in a flash and said, "When I go to court, I will pass by Tianjing Temple, and I will go to meet the new abbot." He said with concern: "Xiaoying stayed up all night, quickly drink some millet porridge, and have a good sleep,

After hearing Lang Jun's considerate words, Fu Ying felt as if she had eaten watermelons from Jingshuili in summer. She stroked Hou Dayong's chest with her hands and said gently: "After all, Lang Jun is the prime minister, so I can just send someone to summon the abbot of Tianjing Temple, why bother to go there in person?"

"The intelligent master of Shaolin Temple presented a prescription to treat thousands of people. This is a great thing with infinite functions. I respect the monks from Shaolin Temple from the bottom of my heart. What's the harm in going there?" Hou Dayong looked at Fu Ying, who looked like a cat, and said seriously: "My wife took a bath and then went to rest, and she was waiting for me to leave on the bed." Fu Ying talked to Langjun for a while, but her depression was slightly relieved. When she heard the last sentence, Langjun had already teased her, and her face turned slightly red.

Hou Dayong rode on the "Feng", took the tiger in the forest, Luo Qingsong and a few guards straight to Tianjing Temple. It was still early at this time, and except for the breakfast shop that had already opened, the rest of the shops on the street were still closed. The guests of the incense-storing land usually had to wait until it was completely dawn before coming, so the door of Tianjing Temple was also idle. The tiger in the forest jumped off his horse and directly pounded the gate of Tianjing Temple with his fists.

"Who is it too early to burn incense? We are still doing our homework." A monk from a guest said as he opened the side door. Seeing that the people were very popular, he explained politely.

After Hou Dayong came to Dazhou, he was never used to carriages and still insisted on riding horses in Daliang City. However, civil servants were wearing purple clothes and court uniforms and walking on the streets, which was really eye-catching. Hou Dayong found a dressing room, and had to change clothes every day when courts were on and off. At this moment, Hou Dayong was still wearing an ordinary round-necked long gown, so the monk naturally didn't know that he was the prime minister of the dynasty.

Luo Qingsong stepped forward and said, "Call you abbots out quickly." Luo Qingsong stood in front of the monk with a fierce sword on his body.

The former abbot of Tianjing Temple was killed, and the monks in the temple had some shadows in their hearts. The monk was frightened by Luo Qingsong and took a step back and said, "Wait a minute, the monk will go and report now."

After a while, the monk from Zhike and a tall monk hurried out. The monk came to Hou Dayong and said, "This donor," the monk suddenly smiled before he finished speaking, put his hands together, and bowed solemnly, "It turns out that it is Hou Donor, the little monk Xuanjing is polite." This Xuanjing is a disciple of Master Zhi. Because of the incident in Wanshou Temple, he also ambushed Hou Dayong. Later, when the plague broke out, he went to Zhengzhou to offer medicine, which can be regarded as an old friend.

Hou Dayong also recognized the new abbot of Tianjing Temple, "Ha, ha" laughed and said, "I really have a fate to meet you thousands of miles away. Abbot Xuanjing, we meet again."

Xuan Jing smiled and said, "Last night, the master was still talking about the donor Hou and donor Hou, but he didn't expect that the donor Hou and donor would arrive in the temple early in the morning." At that time, Xuan Jing was an impatient monk. He had not seen him for several years. He had already experienced the grace and generosity and had a master's demeanor.
