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

In the palace!
"Father!"

"Father!"

A childish voice sounded next to Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu leaned down and hugged his three children with a happy face.

Thinking back to the time when he was always worried about having no children, and even heard the bad news that he might have no offspring due to cotton poisoning in his body, today's happiness is simply unimaginable.

Especially the birth of the prince Zhao Mao solved one of Zhao Xu's worries and made Zhao Xu's throne more stable.

After all, an emperor without an heir would not allow his ministers to be fully loyal. After all, after the emperor dies, all the loyalty of the ministers will be in vain, and there is even a risk of standing in line and being liquidated again.

It can be said that Zhao Xu was able to successfully seize power from Empress Dowager Gao, not only because of his advantage of planning in advance, but also because of the fact that he already had an empress, which made many courtiers stand on his side.

"Officials, I heard that Mr. Li has given birth at the Women's and Children's Hospital!" Queen Meng, who was dressed in a fancy dress, asked.

She had also been a mother, so she naturally knew the pain of giving birth to a woman, and she also knew that Li Qingzhao was not suitable for pregnancy and had caused a divorce incident back then.

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Yes, I have asked Fan Zheng to go directly to the hospital to accompany him without entering the palace."

Hu Jieyu on the side said jealously: "The officials gave Fan Taicheng too much preferential treatment."

Empress Meng scolded: "That is what Fan Taicheng deserves. Not to mention how much contribution Fan Taicheng made to the court, if he had not discovered the cotton poisoning case, you and I would not have been able to conceive. The official family will also regret it for the rest of their lives." "

Queen Meng looked at Princess Fuqing beside her with a doting look on her face.

Zhao Xu glanced at Queen Meng with satisfaction. Although Queen Meng was slightly inferior in appearance, she still had the aura of being a mother to the world. Although Hu Jieyu and Liu Jieyu were beautiful, they could only entertain people with sex, so to speak. To be obedient is to say that you are big-hearted and have no brains.

Unfortunately, when he had just ascended the throne, he was attracted by Liu Jieyu's beauty and thought it was love, which eventually led to disaster in the harem.

Now that he has been on the throne for many years, he is used to seeing people's hearts, and he has discovered the advantages of Queen Meng more and more, and the couple began to sing in harmony.

Hu Jieyu was reprimanded by Queen Meng, and she immediately fell silent. Liu Jieyu competed with Queen Meng for favor, and now she has been deposed. She was not favored by the officials, so naturally she did not dare to disobey Queen Meng.

"To report to the official family, there is good news from the hospital that Li's mother and son are safe."

Suddenly, the eunuch Yang Jian hurriedly came to report.

"it is good!"

Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction.

He had experienced the pain of having no heir back then, so he naturally understood the feelings of Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao who had not been pregnant for two years. Now that Fan Zheng had a child, he naturally felt the same way.

"The Fan family are important ministers of the country. The Fan family and his son have played an indispensable role in quelling the Yellow River flood. The Queen and the Li family are acquainted, so we can give them a reward as a sign of royal etiquette." Zhao Xu told Queen Meng.

"I will obey the official's order!" Queen Meng bowed and said.

The reason why Yizhuang presided over by Li Qingzhao was able to flourish unimpeded in the Song Dynasty was because the biggest backer behind it was Queen Meng. Li Qingzhao and Queen Meng had known each other for a long time, so it was most appropriate for Queen Meng to come forward and be responsible for rewarding Li Qingzhao.

"Master Li is a role model for women in the world. Today, she is a mother for the first time. As a special reward, she will give you a pair of jade Ruyi, some silk, a thousand taels of gold, and the title of Lady of the Sixth Grade."

In the Maternity and Children's Hospital, before Li Qingzhao was discharged from the hospital, Queen Meng's reward had already arrived.

"Thank you..." Li Qingzhao was greatly moved and wanted to stand up and thank him.

The maid of Longyou Palace who came to convey the order immediately stopped her and said: "The Queen has given special instructions. Everyone Li has just given birth and is weak, so there is no need to be polite."

Empress Meng's courtesy to Li Qingzhao can be said to be unprecedented, even taking into account Li Qingzhao's physical weakness, it can be said that she is considerate and considerate.

"Thank you, Queen, for the reward. My dear wife, Fan, thanks the Queen for her kindness." Fan Zheng nodded.

"Fan Taicheng is so polite!" The maid of Longyou Palace immediately returned the greeting.

The people of Longyou Palace were particularly grateful to Fan Zheng. If the evil doctor Fan Zheng had not turned the tide against the witchcraft disaster in the harem, not only would Queen Meng not be able to retain her position, but even the maids and eunuchs in Longyou Palace would not be able to escape the disaster.

After everyone in Longyou Palace left, Mrs. Ma immediately looked at Li Qingzhao's imperial decree with joy. She was born as a concubine, and even though her husband had become a minister, she still could not obtain the title of imperial wife.

But now that Li Qingzhao had easily won the title of Madam Gaoming, how could this not make her sigh in her heart.

When Fan Zheng saw his mother Ma's loss, he comforted her immediately: "Don't be disappointed, mother. I will wait until the child goes to the official's house to ask for the title of imperial wife for his mother."

"Absolutely not, I am a concubine, how can I get involved in the title of Madam Gaoming." Ma said in panic.

She abided by concubine etiquette all her life, even though the position of housewife was vacant in Fan's mansion, and Fan Zheng was Fan Chunli's only son, she still did not get involved in the position of head wife.

Regarding the title of Mrs. Gaoming, she had always thought about it in her heart and thought it was impossible, let alone proposed it.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but sigh. In this era, the etiquette was strict, and Ma's concubine status could not be called the royal wife.

"Don't worry, mother. Although mother is a concubine, she is actually the same as the housewife of Fan Mansion. Why don't we let the child come forward and let the father make mother his wife!" Fan Zheng waved his hand.

"Yes! Fan's mother is a well-deserved mistress." Li Qingzhao also agreed.

"This is inappropriate! It does not comply with the laws of the Song Dynasty."

Madam Ma suddenly felt a little panicked and said that she knew that her concubines were of low status and could not get involved in her wife's position, and the laws of the Song Dynasty did not support concubines supporting their wives at all.

Fan Zheng also frowned. After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of an allusion.

In later generations, Liang Hongyu, a famous anti-gold general, was once a concubine. Although she came from a family of military generals, she was rescued by Han Shizhong and was willing to give her life to her. However, Han Shizhong was already a married woman at that time, so Liang Hongyu had no choice but to compromise and become a concubine. .

After the death of Han Shizhong's first wife, Liang Hongyu made great military exploits and was eventually named the first wife by the imperial court.

When Fan Zheng proposed his method, Ma couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes darkened and said: "How can I, a woman and a child, have the opportunity to make contributions to the country?"

Fan Zheng chuckled and said, "A mother is more valuable than a child. A mother's greatest contribution to the Song Dynasty is to give birth to children."

Seeing Fan Zheng's stinky look, Ma couldn't help but give him a look, but then she couldn't help but burst into tears. If she had the opportunity to become the first wife, she would not be happy.

At that moment, Fan Zheng personally wrote a memorial to the officials, using his mother as an example to describe the concubine's miserable life in detail, and finally requested that the concubine be given a chance to become a wife.

When Fan Zheng's memorial was delivered to the court, it immediately caused an uproar in the court. "I would like to report to the officials that this should never be done! Doting on concubines and destroying wives has been a taboo in all dynasties, even for the prime minister of the dynasty." Cai Jing immediately started to attack Fan Chunli as if he had been given blood.

Yang Wei was very dissatisfied and said: "Mr. Cai's words are wrong. This memorial was submitted by Fan Taicheng, but it was not Fan Xianggong's intention. Moreover, Fan Xianggong has not let the Ma family know for many years since Fan Xianggong's wife Wang passed away." Becoming a head wife shows that she has no intention of doting on her wife and destroying her concubines.”

Although Yang Wei did not agree with doting on concubines and killing wives, Fan Chunli was now the apparent leader of the old party, so naturally he could not allow the new party to attack him.

Su Song nodded and said: "Of course! The Fan family is not dominated by the Ma family. In addition, the Wang family has been dead for many years, and the Ma family has already become the de facto head wife. She just loses one reputation!"

Zhang Dun frowned and said, "Although Mrs. Ma is already the de facto head wife, this is still not allowed. If concubines are given the opportunity to rise to the rank of wife, there will be countless cases of doting on concubines and harming wives. "

As soon as Zhang Dun said this, he immediately aroused the approval of many officials. Most of his concubines were charming and beautiful, and they were highly favored. They had both the motive and the ability to harm their wives.

Zhao Xu frowned. Liu Jieyu's plot to murder Empress Meng was not a model of doting on concubines and destroying wives.

Su Song frowned and said: "Although what Mr. Zhang said may happen, we can't stop eating because of choking. Many concubines have a miserable life, and there are even countless cases of wives harming concubines. How can we turn a blind eye."

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "So Fan Taicheng is reporting to the court to issue an order: If the wife is still alive and takes her as a concubine, she should be punished with a staff of ninety and ten."

The ministers nodded slightly. In this way, the interests of the wife and family can be fully guaranteed.

Zhao Xu continued: "And if the wife is absent and the position of the head wife is vacant, it may not be conducive to the stability of the family. Fan Taicheng suggested that it be tentatively set for three years. After three years, if it is proven that the concubine has good moral character and is able to manage the family well, , she can be made a wife. Of course, if her children or members of her natal family have made meritorious service to the country, they can be made wives in advance."

After Zhao Xu finished speaking about Fan Zheng's memorial, all the officials in the court couldn't help but fell silent.

Everyone knows that Fan Zheng's method was tailor-made for the Ma family. At that time, the Wang family had nothing to do, and the Ma family gave birth to Fan Zheng for Fan Chunli. It has been more than ten years since Wang's death, far more than three years. Expect.

Not to mention that Fan Zheng repeatedly came up with evil prescriptions and made great contributions to the Song Dynasty. Not long ago, he first offered a prescription to discharge floods, and later quelled the plague. During the flood season, the Yellow River embankment was blocked.

Such a great achievement, not to mention finding a legitimate wife for his mother, even an ordinary person could rise to heaven in one step, and it would be natural for him to be promoted to a noble title.

"I think this method is feasible! It not only conforms to the people's sentiments, but also encourages their children to make contributions to the court." Su Song was the first to agree.

All the medical parties agreed.

The old and new parties looked at each other and remained silent, for no other reason than because Fan Zhengli's contribution was so great, and he even controlled important departments such as the Royal Bank and Ordnance Supervision. Even the old and new parties looked at his face. .

Not to mention that Fan Zheng also has a magical evil recipe. Who can guarantee that one day they will not beg in front of Fan Zheng. If they oppose Fan Zheng's proposal now, they will probably cause trouble to Fan Zheng in the future.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu nodded immediately and said: "In that case, let's play Fan Taicheng's memorial and pass on the decree. Ma family in Fufeng is loyal and gentle, abides by etiquette, manages the family well, and teaches his children well, so he is specially made to be his concubine. , be granted the title of Lady of the Fifth Grade."

All the officials couldn't help but smile bitterly. Not only did Zhao Xu directly lift Ma from the concubine to the status of his wife, but he also granted her the rank of fifth rank. Apparently, he had already prepared for Fan Zheng's memorial.

Fortunately, they did not object, otherwise they would not only hate the evil doctor Fan Zheng, but also bring trouble to themselves.

Fan Mansion is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, giving it a completely new look inside and out.

Fan was in the maternal and child hospital for three days, and then he took Li Qingzhao, mother and son back to Fan's house for confinement.

Everyone in the neighborhood already knew that the Fan family had a daughter. Fan Zheng, the evil doctor, was happy to have a son, and people close to him came forward to congratulate him.

The whole Fan Mansion was welcoming and sending off, and it was so lively.

"The decree has arrived."

Suddenly Yang Jian's sharp voice came, shaking the entire Fan Mansion once again.

"Didn't the Queen already reward the Young Madam? Why is the official decree coming again?" Lian'er poked her head out after hearing the news and couldn't help but said in surprise.

"There's no need to ask. This time the young master has made great contributions to the Yellow River floods. Now that the young master has a daughter, I will naturally give him more rewards." A servant of the Fan family said proudly.

"I heard that the most trusted person among the officials was the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Today I saw that the rumors were true!" Although the people around Fan's house were also high-ranking officials, they were also envious of Fan Zheng's favor.

"Fan Zheng accepts the order." Fan Zheng stepped forward and said solemnly.

However, Yang Jian shook his head and said, "Fan Taicheng misunderstood. The official decree is not for you, but for Mrs. Fan!"

"Mrs. Fan?"

Fan Zheng frowned and said, "I am in confinement, so I'm afraid I won't be able to receive the order in person."

But Yang Jian laughed and said: "The Mrs. Fan we are talking about is not the Li family, but Mrs. Fan!"

"Mrs. Fan?"

Ma couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't expect that one day she would receive an imperial edict.

"I accept the order!" Ma quickly stood up in fear.

"The mother of Imperial Physician Cheng Fan Zheng, Mrs. Ma, was obedient, hard-working, and ambitious. She was ill and had no strong children. She served alone. She was worried about her appearance. When she died, she cried and mourned. Min Yan mourned her."

As Yang Jian read aloud the life of Fan's mother, Ma, Ma suddenly burst into tears. Everything she had done was now recognized by the official family with an imperial edict, and her life was enough.

"The public inspection of her loyalty is based on family affairs, both inside and outside, both inside and outside, regardless of whether she is a guest or not. . . . . This concubine of the Ma family is now authorized to be his wife, and she is given the title of Madam of the fifth grade. I appreciate her."

As Yang Jian's voice fell, the entire Fan Mansion was shocked.

No one expected that the official would personally issue an imperial edict and personally rectify her name. Not only would she be promoted from the position of concubine to the head wife, but she would also be granted the title of fifth-grade imperial concubine.

"Congratulations, old lady!"

Yang Jian closed the imperial edict and cupped his hands.

"Mom, why don't you thank me quickly!" Fan Zheng reminded in a low voice.

Ma finally woke up from a dream and quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your grace."

After Yang Jian left, Ma Shi still seemed to be in a dream. Becoming Fan Chunli's head wife was something she had longed for her whole life. She originally thought it would be impossible to achieve in her life, but now not only has it been solved, she was personally promoted as the head wife by the official, but she got five rewards. Lady Pingaoming’s honor.

And the hero of all this is her good son, the good son she gave birth to,
Fan Zheng, the imperial physician. (End of chapter)
