Song Yi

Chapter 266
Song Shenzong let out a groan, then slowly turned his head and looked at him: "I am really sick?"

"Yes, does your majesty feel itchy skin, desquamation and crusting, abdominal fullness, occasional constipation in stool, poor appetite, poor appetite, occasional nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and feet like walking on cotton?"

Song Shenzong finally turned his body around this time, pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes! I always thought that it was due to overwork, poor rest, and physical fatigue. In the past, the doctors never told me what the disease was."

Du Wenhao said: "Judging from the symptoms just now, it is indeed not a serious illness. However, before the humble minister took the emperor's pulse, he found that the emperor's pulse was stringy and thready, his tongue was light red, less moss, and his face was pale. , dry skin, mild edema of the face and lower limbs, it is inferred that the emperor's dragon body has a minor ailment. Because the syndrome is slightly concealed, and the emperor has not suffered from any serious illness before, even if the body is a little unwell, it is because he is concentrating on major reforms. I didn’t have time to take care of it, so I didn’t call the imperial physicians for an examination, and the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital had no way of knowing. Just now Wei Zhan was also concentrating on the question of why the emperor fainted, and didn’t have a detailed and comprehensive examination, so he missed the diagnosis.”

"Oh, what disease do I have?"

"The combination of the above symptoms can be concluded that the emperor's disease is caused by the failure of the kidney to open and close, resulting in the accumulation of filth and turbidity in the body, and the accumulation of blood and distribution is a sign of kidney failure."

What Du Wenhao said about kidney failure is what Western medicine calls "chronic renal failure".

Song Shenzong only had a superficial knowledge of medical skills, and when he heard that the disease was related to the kidneys, he couldn't help being startled, and his face changed slightly.After all, a bad kidney is bad news for me and the beauties of the harem.Frowning: "Is my illness serious?"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this certificate is just the beginning, and there is no danger yet. With careful treatment by the minister, it will definitely recover."

Only then did Song Shenzong nod his head reassuringly: "Well, then there is Lau Du Aiqing."

"This is a matter of the minister's duty. ——The minister resigns!"

Du Wenhao left Qinzheng Palace, first came to the Imperial Hospital, and took a pen to prescribe medicine for Song Shenzong.Since Song Shenzong's syncope was faked before, Du Wenhao's prescription for treating fainting was also used to fool the Empress Dowager and others, so naturally he didn't need to take it, so he took this new prescription to the Royal Pharmacy Institute to replace the original prescription.And issued a doctor's order.

After finishing these things, it was already dark.Du Wenhao held the imperial decree in his arms and returned to Wuweitang in a sedan chair.

He returned to the Wuweitang on the front foot, and Eunuch Ning brought people to the back foot to formally announce the decree, appointing Du Wenhao as the doctor in front of the imperial court, and canonized Pang Yuqin as the fifth-rank wife.

This Eunuch Ning is the emperor's personal eunuch, Du Wenhao of course wanted to win over him, and he gave Eunuch Ning a large amount of decree to thank him.Eunuch Ning was naturally smiling, and he had no reason to praise Du Wenhao for being righteous and capable of being an official.

After Eunuch Ning took the people away, Du's mansion immediately boiled.

Du Wenhao was promoted, and even became the emperor's imperial physician. However, what made them the happiest was that Du Wenhao was able to get out of the harem, even though serving the emperor as a doctor was not an easy task, and it was also risky. But as long as you don't talk too much and don't meddle in political affairs, it's much safer than hanging out in the harem's rouge pile.

When Pang Yuqin was happy, she wanted to cook some good dishes to celebrate, but was stopped by Du Wenhao, saying that she would let Lianer do it, and that she had something to discuss with her.

Pang Yuqin was a little embarrassed to see that he was mysterious, so she was very curious. After telling Lian'er to cook a few dishes that the master likes to eat, she followed Du Wenhao to the house.

Du Wenhao closed the door and pulled her to sit down on the stool in front of the round table. At this moment, he still didn't know how to speak.

Pang Yuqin smiled, looked at him and blinked: "Is it about Fei'er? Didn't Beauty Chen force Fei'er to marry the Ninth Prince?"

Du Wenhao was even more embarrassed: "My lady is so smart, she guessed it right away."

"It's hard to guess. If it's something else, you don't have to drag me into the room alone to talk. Last time you took the two of us into the palace to treat the little prince, then Meiren Chen was not playing tricks. Would you like to give it to the Ninth Prince? At that time, I saw your face change, not to mention Fei'er, so I refused on the spot. Seeing your smiling face now, it shouldn't be a bad thing. If Chen Meiren wants Fei'er to marry the Ninth Prince, You must have a long face."

Du Wenhao chuckled: "If there was a bit of exaggeration in the original praise of the lady's intelligence, this time, I admire the lady for being really smart from the bottom of my heart, and I guessed it right."

Pang Yuqin gave him a sideways look, and said with a half-smile: "You should tell Fei'er about this, and come here to tell me what? Is there something else hidden in it?"

Du Wenhao felt a little fever on his face, Nuonuo said: "Yes, as for the secret, you can guess again?"

"You don't need to guess, you dragged me into the room alone, and you couldn't tell for a long time. Could it be... What do you think about Fei'er, and you want to use this to prevaricate Chen Meiren?"

Du Wenhao smiled wryly: "My lady, you are really smarter than Zhuge Liang. That's how it is..."

Du Wenhao briefly told Pang Yuqin what happened.

Pang Yuqin finished listening with a smile, sighed, and said: "To be honest, Mr., you want to take Fei'er as a concubine. I have already expected this. Fei'er has been with you for so long, and the purpose is not just to learn medicine from you. Bye If you are a brother, she has you in her heart, but it’s not easy to mention her if you don’t mention it, and it’s not easy for me to mention it. Now that the emperor has helped you to mention it, it can be regarded as a marriage bestowed by the emperor, so there is nothing to say Already, tomorrow I will go to Fei'er's house with the central media to say goodbye!"

Du Wenhao didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he was overjoyed, he put his arms around Pang Yuqin and gave him a good kiss: "My lady is really virtuous and virtuous!"

That night, Du Wenhao and Pang Yuqin told Xue Fei'er about this matter, Xue Fei'er was both happy and ashamed, she didn't dare to look at Du Wenhao with her head down, but her heart was filled with honey.

The next day, Pang Yuqin officially went to the central media to propose marriage to Xue Feier's father.Now that Du Wenhao is an official of the fifth rank in the imperial court, and also a popular person of the emperor and the empress dowager, Xue Feier's father, Treasurer Song, naturally did not agree. This is a great thing for Guangzong Yaozu, so there is no reason not to agree.

Taking a concubine is much simpler than marrying a wife, but since the emperor has a canon, the ceremony can't be too simple. It is more grand than when Lian'er was taken as a concubine. There is a big banquet, and invitations are spread widely. There, anyone with a bit of brain in the imperial court would not let go of this opportunity to curry favor, so there were a lot of guests, and the running water seats were placed on the street.

At the time of the engagement ceremony, the emperor's imperial decree arrived, and Eunuch Ning personally issued the decree, canonizing Xue Fei'er as the sixth-rank wife, and rewarding several large selections of gold and silver silk and satin as congratulatory gifts. , Concubine Zhu De, Lin Jieyu, Wu Jieyu and Chen Meiren all sent generous gifts to congratulate each other.This face was enough, Xue Fei'er's father, Shopkeeper Song, laughed from ear to ear.

Three days later, Du Wenhao officially took office as the emperor's physician.Originally, the highest rank of medical officials in the Song Dynasty was Dr. He'an. From the sixth rank, Du Wenhao's imperial servant doctor is not actually the title of a medical officer. Because the imperial physicians in the Song Dynasty used martial ranks, the official position is not limited to the actual position of a medical officer.

The main duty of Du Wenhao, the doctor in front of the imperial court, is to accompany the emperor to discuss state affairs. This highest-level imperial physician is called imperial imperial physician, or "imperial physician" for short. , can be rescued immediately.

In addition, as the emperor's full-time imperial physician, he also acts as a health care doctor, formulating the emperor's health care plan. When the emperor is sick and needs medicine from below, he can preside over the imperial hospital meeting for consultation, and has the right to mobilize national medical resources to serve the treatment as needed. The status of the emperor can be understood as the chief imperial doctor of the imperial hospital. Although the rank is the same as that of the imperial envoy, the real power and dignity are above it.

In an emergency, the imperial doctor only plays the role of an ambulance for the first-time treatment. There are Tai Hospital, Shangyao Bureau, Yuyaoyuan and other departments behind him as support, so there are not many subordinates under his direct leadership, and it is enough to meet the needs of first aid. It was just a few drug boys who were in charge of emergency medicine and equipment, and two medical assistants who were in charge of assisting in the rescue.All with first aid equipment and medicines.When the emperor was in court to discuss state affairs, he was on standby in the apse at any time.

It was Du Wenhao's first time working as an imperial doctor who followed the emperor, so he was a little nervous.Song Shenzong was discussing matters in the early court in the Qinzheng Hall, and he was waiting in the back hall with several medical assistants and medicine boys.The place where they were was not too far from the main hall, and the sound insulation effect of the wooden palace was average, so some voices could be heard faintly, but it was just so buzzing that it was hard to hear what they were saying.Listening to the words seems to be arguing.It must be that the two factions of the reform are fighting with each other again.

Nothing happened until noon.The emperor usually does not need an imperial doctor to accompany him, so after the emperor retreats to the Palace of Funing, Du Wenhao will be fine.

Du Wenhao was dissatisfied with the imperial doctor's equipment, and there were not many first-aid supplies and medicines. Du Wenhao made a list and handed it to the priest to purchase, and also drew sketches to customize the first-aid equipment needed.

Du Wenhao didn't tell the Empress Dowager what Song Shenzong taught the Empress Dowager Chen in the back hall of the Palace of Qinzheng that day, because he knew that even if he told it, the Empress Dowager would not pay attention to it. character, will not give up halfway.Because Chen Meiren was presented by Wang Anshi, who advocated reform.She absolutely cannot tolerate it.Especially when you get the handle.

So, a few days later, Du Wenhao followed Song Shenzong and just retreated to the Palace of Funing, when he was stopped by Chen Meiren's personal maid, Xiao Xin, who reported that Chen Meiren was arrested by the empress dowager and empress herself. The empress dowager has gone to the palace.

Song Shenzong was afraid of this day, but what he was afraid of had finally come, and he couldn't hide it. This time, he couldn't pretend to faint anymore. There was no excuse, so he hurried to the empress dowager's bedroom with Du Wenhao and others.

When I came outside the main hall, I heard the Empress Dowager asking something sharply, stepped in hastily, and called out: "Old ancestor!"

Like a drowning person, Chen Meiren grabbed the straw and rushed forward desperately to grab the emperor's sleeve: "Your Majesty! Save my concubine!"

Song Shenzong frowned, and said to the Empress Dowager, "Old Ancestor, what's going on?"

After Song Shenzong heard this, he looked at Chen Meiren half-believingly, but he dared not say no to disbelief, and smoothed things over with a smile: "Don't be angry, old ancestor, just sit down and talk slowly." The Empress Dowager helped her to sit down.The Empress Dowager sneered and sat down, still not speaking.

Seeing the empress dowager's serious face, Song Shenzong didn't dare to say that she didn't want Chen Meiren to take the medicine. After hesitating for a moment, he persuaded Chen Meiren in a low voice: "The empress dowager is doing it for your own good. I also saw that you look bad recently. His face is haggard and his spirit is listless. He really needs to replenish his body, so he should take this medicine. This is the kindness of the Empress Dowager, so don't let it down."

The little eunuch brought over the medicine tray.Chen Meiren looked at Song Shenzong in despair, and took the bowl with trembling hands. The medicine and sweet-scented osmanthus dew had already melted, turning into jet-black water with a faint fragrance overnight.

Chen Meiren brought the medicine bowl to her mouth, paused for a moment, let go of her hand, and with a clang, the bowl of medicine fell to the ground and shattered, splashing jet-black medicine everywhere, even the dragon robe on the emperor's body. Dirty.

The Empress laughed back in anger: "Your Majesty, this is already the fourth medicine bowl that Beauty Chen has broken. She would rather break it than take medicine."

Song Shenzong frowned again, and asked Chen Meiren, "What's going on?"

"Chenqie..., this concubine has a cold stomach and weak body, and is unable to hold a bowl, so..."

The Empress Dowager sneered: "That's good, come here, give her the medicine!"

"No no! Your Majesty, this concubine cannot take this medicine, or I will die...!"

Song Shenzong smiled wryly, and finally mustered up the courage to say to the Empress Dowager, "My ancestor, she has always had a cold stomach, and she would feel nauseous and vomit after taking this medicine. If it's very uncomfortable, don't..."

The Empress Dowager sneered: "Your Majesty, don't just listen to what she says, you should also listen to what others say. Someone is here, bring Fu He!"

The Empress Dowager's words were like thunder, and Chen Meiren's face turned pale.He kept crying in his heart, could it be that Fu He had already fallen into the hands of the Empress Dowager?That would be miserable!
Sure enough, not long after, two guards escorted Fu He, who was wearing a prison uniform and handcuffed, into the door and knelt on the ground.

"Empress Dowager, what's going on? I'm getting more and more confused." Song Shenzong looked at Fu He, completely confused.

"Fu He, why don't you quickly and honestly recruit?"

"Yes, the guilty minister was entrusted by Chen Meiren to prepare a beauty-retaining medicine for the empress. It's called Jinxiang Wan. Although it can beautify the skin, it is actually a chronic poison..."

Chen Meiren suddenly came out of the ravine like a mother leopard, and her movements were as fast as lightning. She pulled out the golden hairpin from her head and pierced Fu He's throat!
Fu He is old and frail, has been seriously injured with whipping, and has not recovered from a serious illness. He wants to hide but can't dodge. He just watched the golden hairpin stab his throat!

Everyone in the venue did not expect that Chen Meiren would kill people on the spot, and even if they knew it, they were unable to stop it in time, nor could they react.Except for one person, of course this person is Du Wenhao.

He was standing opposite Chen Meiren. The moment Fu He came in, he felt the fierce light in Chen Meiren's eyes, and his heart trembled. At this moment, Chen Meiren was in trouble. Du Wenhao didn't have time to stop him with something, but he knew, The witness Fu He was too important to die, otherwise her plot would not be exposed.

So, without thinking too much, he jumped up and blocked the hairpin with his back.

Du Wenhao felt a slight pain in his back. He had a soft hedgehog armor to protect his body, so the golden hairpin couldn't go in naturally, but the force was too strong, so he still felt a little pain.

Chen Meiren's reaction was extremely quick, she couldn't penetrate even once, she waved her hand, and then stabbed Fuhe's temple again!
How could Du Wenhao let her succeed? He used Lin Qingdai's hand to grab and twist, and Chen Meiren's hand holding the golden hairpin was restrained. With an ouch, the golden hairpin fell to the ground.

Du Wenhao kicked the golden hairpin away with one kick, then let go of Chen Meiren, bowed and said: "I am reckless, please forgive me!"

"Master Du, well done!" The Empress Dowager finally came to her senses, seeing that Chen Meiren had murdered someone in front of her, fortunately, Du Wenhao was smart and stopped it in time, otherwise, there would be no evidence to prove it, and all the subsequent powerful methods would be useless.Shocked, he praised Du Wenhao, angrily stepped forward and kicked Chen Meiren over: "You! You bastard, you actually killed someone to silence you!"

Chen Meiren prostrated herself on the ground, weeping and said: "He...he spouted blood and framed me...how can I tolerate him!"

The sudden change just now made Song Shenzong very stunned. He is a wise monarch after all, and he knew that since Chen Meiren dared to kill people to silence her, it meant that what Fu He confessed was definitely worth her silence.I couldn't help feeling cold, since the Empress Dowager intervened in this matter, and this matter was big enough to kill Chen Meiren, I'm afraid it would not be easy to let it go.

Song Shenzong glanced at Chen Meiren, walked up to Fu He with a sullen face, and said, "You said just now that the incense pill for the queen is poison?"

"Return... to the emperor's words, it is poison, and the guilty minister deserves to die, but what the criminal minister said is absolutely true."

Chen Meiren wept bitterly: "Your Majesty, he framed my concubine, and my concubine was wronged."

Song Shenzong ignored her, now he needs to clarify the matter.He didn't want to protect Chen Meiren unprincipled, because he was facing the Empress Dowager, and this matter was probably not trivial, so he waved his hand and said to He: "What's going on? Tell me the truth Come!"

Fu He agreed, and knelt down on the ground: "Not long ago, Beauty Chen entered the palace. At that time, she hadn't been favored yet. At that time, the emperor loved the Empress Empress. One day, Beauty Chen called me, and asked me to think about what to do. A way to prevent the empress from conceiving, and let me think of a way to make the emperor no longer love the empress. I was terrified, but I dared not listen. I searched ancient books and finally found a formula, using musk, peony bark, mercury After making it into a pill, after taking it, it can indeed have the effect of retaining the face, keeping the skin tender and supple, and can no longer conceive. It can also increase the amount of menstrual water and prolong the menstrual period. The beauty was overjoyed, and named the medicine Jianxiang Wan, and then asked me to present the medicine to the empress in the name of the secret recipe handed down from my ancestors..."

The queen yelled loudly, her phoenix eyes widened, and she rushed forward to grab Beauty Chen.Song Shenzong snorted coldly: "Stop! I haven't finished asking, no one is allowed to mess around!"

The queen stopped immediately, and stared at Chen Meiren viciously, her eyes seemed to burst into flames: "It turns out that you are the troublemaker! I have suffered for more than ten years! More than ten years! Woooooo..." At the end, thinking of this After more than ten years of suffering, I couldn't bear it anymore, and wept with my face covered.

As if he didn't hear anything, Song Shenzong turned to Chen Meiren and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Chen Meiren fell to the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, this is all because of Fu He's spitting blood! My concubine has been wronged..."

The Empress Dowager sneered and said: "Okay, you said you were wronged, Aijia will let you see another person to see if you are wronged. ——Bring it in!"

A few thugs came in again with a man in handcuffs and shackles. He knelt down when he came in, but it was Eunuch Lai who was beside Chen Meiren!
When Chen Meiren saw Eunuch Lai, she stopped crying immediately and looked at the emperor pitifully. Seeing that the emperor looked gloomy and ignored her, her body began to tremble.

The Empress Dowager said to Song Shenzong: "Your Majesty, this is a servant of Chen Meiren's bedroom. A few days ago, he was ordered to enter Fu He's house at night, set fire to the house, and tried to throw Fu He and his wife into the sea of ​​fire and burn them to death. The family has been guarding against this move for a long time, and ambushed the guards at Fu He's house, and captured him on the spot. ——Eunuch Lai, who ordered you to kill Fu He to silence him, tell the truth to the emperor!"

"Yes! It's... Beauty Chen asked the servant to assassinate Lord Fu Hefu. In addition, Beauty Chen also asked the servant to create an accident and murder Lord Du!"

Eunuch Lai's closest sister fell into the hands of the Empress Dowager, Director Jiao and the others threatened with this, and Eunuch Lai finally couldn't bear to confess all the crimes.In order to keep his sister safe, Eunuch Lai had no choice.

Du Wenhao was taken aback. It turned out that Chen Meiren wanted to do something to him. Fortunately, he went to murder Fu He first and was captured. Otherwise, it is easy to hide a spear and hard to guard against it. Who knows if he can escape his assassination? .

Chen Meiren hissed: "Your majesty, don't believe this slave's nonsense. The concubine did not let him kill Fu He. The doctor Fu and my father are family friends and can be regarded as my uncle. How could I let someone kill him? Besides, I have no grievances with him, so why should I kill him?" Seeing that Song Shenzong's face was getting uglier, Chen Meiren defended herself with a very sad voice.

"Shut up!" Song Shenzong yelled sharply. What Fu He said before, Song Shenzong was only half-believing, and now there is evidence that Chen Meiren once only sent eunuch Lai to kill people and silence them, and was still captured on the spot by the Ouchi guards. The beauty couldn't wait to kill someone to silence her, and she didn't even ask herself.It is obviously sophistry to be angry at him for framing it.The evidence for this matter is overwhelming and undeniable.
