Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

"Empress Dowager Gao is critically ill!"

The news spread like wildfire in the palace!

The concubines in the harem couldn't help but have complicated thoughts, and then they remembered that there was another leader of the Song Dynasty in the harem.

After hearing the news, Empress Dowager Xiang and Empress Meng immediately led all the concubines in the harem to visit, especially Empress Meng. She was the official queen appointed by Empress Dowager Gao. Now that Empress Dowager Gao was critically ill, she naturally visited more.

"The Empress Dowager!"

When the news reached the court, all the officials couldn't help but sigh.

Many officials couldn't help but compare the changes in the Song Dynasty in the past four years. The Song Dynasty under the leadership of Empress Dowager Gao four years ago was weak and easy to bully, while Liao and Xia were pressing harder and harder.

Four years later, the Song Dynasty defeated Xixia in a row, took advantage of the Silk Road, abolished the annual currency, and restarted the New France to increase its power.

"If Empress Dowager Gao had been in power, would the Song Dynasty be what it is today?"

Many officials compared themselves secretly and finally shook their heads.

Empress Dowager Gao is conservative and stubborn, and she is already in her old age. I am afraid that even if Fan Zheng puts evil prescriptions in front of her, she will not take a look.

No!Given the conservative character of Empress Dowager Gao, I am afraid that Fan Zheng has no chance to put the evil prescription in front of Empress Dowager Gao.

There used to be people who regretted what happened to Empress Dowager Gao. However, as the Song Dynasty's great victories continued, more and more officials sided with Zhao Xu. Now, in contrast to the Liang family rebellion in Xixia, the disaster of listening to politics behind the curtain has been fully exposed. Now All the officials in the court could only feel lucky.

........................

The news reached Zhao Xu's ears. He was silent for a long time and said: "Instruct the Imperial Medical Office to do its best to treat the Empress Dowager, and send ten thousand-year-old ginseng for the Empress Dowager to take the medicine."

Although Zhao Xu seized power from Empress Dowager Gao, Empress Dowager Gao raised him and made him emperor. This kindness still exists, and the reason why he summoned Fan Zheng into the palace in the first place was to treat Empress Dowager Gao, so naturally he had to do his best Rescue Queen Mother Gao.

"Yes!" Tong Guan bowed.

After Tong Guan returned, he took this opportunity to take the initiative to serve Zhao Xu. After all, for eunuchs, the emperor's trust is the source of their power.

At that moment, a large number of imperial doctors who were treating Empress Dowager Gao in the palace were shaking their heads. After all the imperial doctors treated her, they all made it clear that Empress Dowager Gao's oil had dried up.

"The Empress Dowager already has serious illnesses. If it weren't for the fact that doctors had not specialized in researching geriatric diseases in recent years, and the royal family did not hesitate to use precious medicinal materials, she would have only been able to live for another four years!" Qian Yi said helplessly.

If it were an ordinary person, Empress Dowager Gao would have been unable to survive her illness long ago. However, she still spared no effort in manpower and material resources, and added many precious medicinal materials, which allowed Empress Dowager Gao to live for four more years.

"Birth, old age, illness and death are natural phenomena in physics. Doctors can only prolong life, but they cannot change it." Yang Jie sighed at the side.

Empress Dowager Gao was seriously ill, and the doctors naturally did not dare to neglect her. Not only did the imperial physician Qian Yi make the diagnosis in person, but even the famous folk doctor Yang Jie also came for consultation, and the results were naturally the same.

"The Empress Dowager sent an order for Fan Taicheng to diagnose and treat him!"

Suddenly, a maid walked out of the Queen Mother's palace and said loudly.

In an instant, all the doctors fell into silence.

Everyone in the world doesn't know that it was the officials who seized power from the Empress Dowager Gao, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng took the greatest credit.

In order to avoid irritating Empress Dowager Gao, both Qian Yi and Yang Jie personally diagnosed and treated Empress Dowager Gao, but Fan Zheng did not go there. However, who would have thought that Empress Dowager Gao would personally name Fan Zheng for diagnosis and treatment.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Fan Zheng.

"The minister obeys the order!"

At that moment, Fan Zheng took a deep breath and solemnly walked into the palace of Empress Dowager Gao.

In the bedroom!
Empress Dowager Gao leaned back on the bed and saw Fan Zheng coming in. Her eyes couldn't help but sparkle. Although she had lived in the palace for a long time, she also learned about Fan Zheng's great achievements from the newspaper, not to mention his achievements in medical skills. Losing consecutive defeats to Xixia was something she could not do during her reign.

"The humble minister Fan Zheng has been ordered to come to diagnose and treat the Empress Dowager!" Fan Zheng stepped forward and said politely.

However, Empress Dowager Gao shook her head and said: "The Ai family asked you to come here, not to treat the Ai family's illness, but to inquire whether the official's illness has been cured."

"Official illness?"

Fan Zheng's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of the original scene. When he was summoned to the palace by Zhao Xu, Empress Dowager Gao secretly summoned him. Fan Zheng revealed Zhao Xu's rebellious heart and took advantage of Empress Dowager Gao's doting mentality.

"Thanks to the great blessing of the Empress Dowager, the rebellious heart of the official family has been cured." Fan Zheng bowed.

More than just recovery, Zhao Xu's performance exceeded everyone's expectations. After overcoming his rebellious mentality, Zhao Xu can simply be called a wise king.

Empress Dowager Gao shook her head slightly and said: "No! The official's heart disease still needs a medicine to completely cure it."

"Please give me some advice from the Queen Mother."

Fan Zheng suddenly looked at Empress Dowager Gao in confusion. He didn't understand when Empress Dowager Gao also became a master of Xinglin.

Empress Dowager Gao sighed quietly: "This last medicine is the life of the Ai family. Only when the Ai family dies can the official's heart disease be cured."

Fan Zheng couldn't help but was shocked and looked up at Queen Mother Gao.

"The Empress Dowager is too worried. The official family has no intention of doing so." Fan Zheng said with a frown.

Now that Empress Dowager Gao has lost her power, if the officials want to harm Empress Dowager Gao, they have many opportunities, instead of ordering doctors to try their best to treat her.

Over the years, doctors have invested the medical resources of the Song Dynasty in Empress Dowager Gao, and they have just given her another four years of life. This shows that the officials have no intention of harming Empress Dowager Gao.

Empress Dowager Gao nodded and said: "Of course the Ai family knows that the Guan family was brought up by the Ai family. Although he has a strong personality, is proud of his father, and does not like to be conservative in his old age, he is still a kind-hearted person. It’s not something that would take the lives of the Ai family.”

"The Queen Mother is wise!" Fan Zheng said with a sigh of relief. If the Queen Mother Gao openly accused the officials of harming her life, it would probably damage Zhao Xu's reputation.

Empress Dowager Gao shook her head and said: "However, there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country! This has been the truth since ancient times. No one is willing to let go of the supreme power. The Liang family of Xixia has controlled the imperial power of Xixia for decades. There is the calamity of the Liang family's rebellion, but the calamity of Xixia is not over yet. The Empress Dowager Xiaoliang and the young Emperor Xixia will definitely repeat the old story between the Empress Dowager Liang and Emperor Hui, and they will not stop until one of them dies."

Fan Zheng couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that Empress Dowager Gao, who was old and hot, would directly predict the outcome of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang.

Empress Dowager Gao disapproved and said: "Is this surprising? Power is the biggest poison in the world. Once they taste power, no one is willing to let it go. This was not the case in the Ai family back then. The late emperor entrusted Xu'er to me and agreed to return to power at the age of 16. However, the official family has reached an age, but the Ai family used the excuse that the official family was young and lacked experience in governing. They were greedy for power and broke the promise of the late emperor. This is why the official family later took the initiative to seize power."

When a person is about to die, his words are good. At the last moment of his life, Empress Dowager Gao no longer avoids taboos and directly reveals her heart. Regardless of the reason, Empress Dowager Gao did not take the initiative to return her power, which is a breach of contract.

"The Queen Mother is sensible."

Fan Zheng cupped his hands and said.

Fan Zheng was complimenting, but he understood in his heart that Empress Dowager Gao could only realize herself clearly after she lost her power. If Empress Dowager Gao were in power today, she would never say these words. "There is no need for the thousand-year-old ginseng. Only after the death of the Ai family can the official family really show off its capabilities." Empress Dowager Gao said weakly, waving her hand for Fan Zheng to step back.

Five days later, Empress Dowager Gao died.

"The royal grandmother passed away!"

When Zhao Xu received the news, he couldn't help but be stunned. Once, Empress Dowager Gao was a big mountain above his head, which made him feel extremely depressed. But now that he is truly in charge of power, he truly understands that that position is not easy to sit in.

Especially for a 16-year-old boy to control the fate of an empire, even if he looks back, it is still an extremely risky thing.

He tried his best to reform and strengthen himself, just to prove to Empress Dowager Gao that his original behavior of seizing power was correct.

However, when he had just made some achievements, Empress Dowager Gao suddenly passed away.

"Pass the decree, the Empress Dowager will be posthumously named Queen Xuanren Shenglie, and she will be buried together with Yingzong in Yonghou Mausoleum!"

Zhao Xu said sadly.

"Yes!" Tong Guan lowered his head and responded.

"Also, it is decreed that King Yong Zhao Hao will return to Beijing immediately to mourn." Zhao Xu thought for a while and added another imperial edict.

During the reign of Empress Dowager Gao, King Yong Zhao Hao was his biggest rival, and even wanted to get involved in the throne. Now that Empress Dowager Gao has passed away, his four-year rule has stabilized the imperial power, and King Yong is no longer a threat.

Tong Guan nodded.

"Empress Dowager Gao passed away!"

As Zhao Xu's imperial edict was issued, the news spread throughout the government and the public as quickly as possible.

"The Empress Dowager!"

Lu Dafang's heart sank. Empress Dowager Gao still had high prestige in the hearts of the old party, especially during the period when Empress Dowager Gao was in power, the power of the old party reached its peak.

Although he supported the official family at critical moments for the sake of his position as prime minister, he understood that with the death of Empress Dowager Gao, the official family would no longer have any restraint.

"Empress Dowager Gao has passed away!" New Party officials sighed in their hearts.

During the reign of Queen Mother Gao, she caused a devastating blow to the New Party, and almost all members of the New Party were excluded from the court. Now that Queen Mother Gao has passed away, this grudge has finally been settled.

Of course, for the medical party, it is more of a pity. In the past, they used the imperial funds to study many diseases under the banner of studying the illness of Empress Dowager Gao. Now that Empress Dowager Gao has passed away, I am afraid that there will be no funds for research on basic diseases of the elderly in the future. That's enough.

Fortunately, the medical community has grown, and there are hospitals in all cities in the world, which are enough to bear the follow-up funds.

The city of Kaifeng is filled with plain elements.

During the reign of Empress Dowager Gao, although there was no outstanding performance, the politics was considered clear and clear, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and many people in the Song Dynasty sang their praises.

At the same time, the Song Dynasty sent envoys to Liao and Xixia respectively to inform them of the death of Empress Dowager Gao, and to ask them to send envoys to express their condolences.

Although the three kingdoms of Liao, Xia and Song were often at war with each other, for a monarch, all the etiquette should be observed. After all, Empress Dowager Gao had been in power for eight years, and she was actually treated as a king. It was reasonable to inform the Liao and Xia countries to come to express their condolences. As it should be.

"Empress Dowager Gao is dead!"

The Liao Kingdom went to Beijing,

Yelu Hongji couldn't help but sigh when he got the news about the Song Dynasty.

During the reign of Empress Dowager Gao, Yelu Hongji also admired her very much and believed that she was the female emperor of Yao and Shun.

"I didn't expect that Empress Dowager Gao had passed away. I thought she was not far away!" Yelu Hongji sighed.

The two are similar in age, and even Empress Dowager Gao is younger than him. Empress Dowager Gao has passed away, and the older one may not have much time left.

Yelu Yanxi complimented from the side: "My grandpa will definitely live a long life. My grandson will send someone to bring some more thousand-year-old ginseng to help my grandpa maintain his health."

Yelu Hongji shook his head and said: "Isn't there a thousand-year-old ginseng in the Song Dynasty? Queen Mother Gao is still unable to recover. The doctors of the Song Dynasty clearly stated that ginseng can only hang people's lives, but cannot bring them back to life. Moreover, my grandfather's body knows it well. I'm afraid it won't be long. It’s just that I’m afraid I won’t be able to face your grandmother and father.”

Yelu Hongji couldn't help but feel a flash of guilt. Back then, he mistakenly believed the slander of the treacherous Prime Minister Yelu Yixin, thinking that Queen Xiao Guanyin was unfaithful and executed him immediately. Later, he also killed his only son, Prince Yelu Jun.

Fortunately, he was vigilant and kept the emperor's grandson by his side to raise him personally, so that Yelu Yanxi escaped.

Yelu Yanxi looked at Yelu Hongji complicatedly. This was both his enemy and his relative. Even he didn't know how to comfort Yelu Hongji.

After a long time, Yelu Hongji woke up from his memories.

"Come here, send two teams of envoys. One team will go to the Song Kingdom to express condolences to the Empress Dowager Gao. The other team will go to the Xia Kingdom to express condolences to the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang." Yelu Hongji ordered.

Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but was stunned, and immediately reminded: "Is it possible that the emperor's grandfather remembered wrongly? The person who died in Xixia was the Prime Minister Liang Yibu, not the Queen Mother Xiaoliang."

Yelu Hongji shook his head and said: "My grandfather remembered it correctly. The Song Dynasty is now very powerful, and the official Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty has already become a hero. However, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Xixia has repeatedly made mistakes, causing Xixia's national power to decline again and again. If so, If this goes on, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Xixia to bind the Song Dynasty again, and the culprit of all this is Empress Dowager Xiaoliang."

Compared with the recently deceased Empress Dowager Gao, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, who also ruled Xixia, was completely different from her. In addition, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang suffered repeated defeats and made rude remarks to the Liao Kingdom. Yelu Hongji was extremely jealous of her. do not like.

"The emperor's grandfather meant to get rid of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang." Yelu Yanxi said in shock.

You must know that the Liao Kingdom is an ally to Xixia. If the Liao Kingdom gets rid of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, this is not a declaration of war on Xixia.

Yelu Hongji shook his head and said: "The Empress Dowager Xiaoliang took the initiative to get rid of the Liang family. She has long been a rootless person in Xixia. It is easy to get rid of her. I only need to ask the envoy to go to Xixia with a bottle of poisonous wine, and Xiaoliang can be killed." The Queen Mother will be executed."

"what!"

Yelu Yanxi couldn't believe what she heard. The imperial grandfather actually wanted to kill the queen mother of a country with poisonous wine.

"You are the future emperor of the Liao Kingdom. You must not have a bad reputation. I don't have a few years left. I will do this dirty work for you." Yelu Hongji looked at Yelu Yanxi lovingly.

"Grandfather!"

Yelu Yanxi was immediately moved. Although Yelu Hongji had done too many wrong things, he had no reservations about him.

"I have chosen the royal daughter Yelu Nanxian. After the death of Xiao Liang, I asked her to marry Xixia and govern Xixia together with the little emperor of Xixia. We will integrate the Xixia and Liao kingdoms to fight against the Song Dynasty together. Remember that the Song Dynasty is our largest country in the Liao Dynasty. opponent." Yelu Hongji ordered.

"Grandson, remember!"

Yelu Yanxi bowed solemnly. (End of chapter)
