Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 229 Taming "Ming"
In the bedroom of Liangyi Hall, Gaozong with a pale complexion was lying on the wooden couch, covered with a thick brocade blanket on a scorching hot day, but even so, he still cried out from time to time, his not strong body shivered. Like sifting chaff, his forehead was covered with sweat drops the size of soybeans. The painful appearance was obviously that the old illness had relapsed. All the servants in the room were terrified, but no one dared to step forward to help, only because of the admonition of wearing a Taoist robe. The official Ming Chongyan stood by the couch with a serious face, muttering something, as if he was preparing for some mysterious ceremony, no one dared to talk nonsense at this time, they could only stare helplessly. Looking at Gaozong who was humming endlessly.

"Ah!"

After brewing for a long time, Ming Chongyan suddenly let out a soft drink, raised his right hand, and pointed like a sword. With a flick of his hand, dozens of finger shadows have been transformed into, and in just a moment, dozens of acupoints of Gaozong have been tapped. Starting from the tailbone on the back, it went all the way to the Baihui acupoint, but when Gao Zong uttered a moan that was extremely comfortable, the whole body shrank first, then loosened, and after a long breath, he calmed down peacefully. Fell asleep.

"call……"

Ming Chongyan exhaled heavily, and as soon as the breath came out, the sweat all over his body burst out in an instant. In a flash, he was already sweating through his heavy clothes, and his handsome face showed an extremely exhausted expression. Without wiping off his sweat, he called a servant to his side, gave some instructions in a low voice, then flicked his sleeves, and walked out of the bedroom. The image of a master made all the servants Everyone was heartbroken, and no one dared to say anything else——Whenever Gaozong got sick, his temper would become dry, and he would punish everyone around him severely at every turn. Because of this, there were many people who died, but Ming Chongyan was able to cure him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Gaozong's illness was the great benefactor of all his attendants, no one dared not to be in awe of it.

"Ming Aiqing, is Your Majesty safe?"

As soon as Ming Chongyan and his party left the bedroom, Empress Wu, who had already led a group of court ladies waiting outside, immediately went up to greet him, and immediately asked a question without waiting for Ming Chongyan to salute.

"If you go back to the Empress, Your Majesty is already in a deep sleep, and you will not commit another crime within a few months."

Ming Chongyan could pretend to be an expert in front of his servants, but he didn't dare to be rude in front of Empress Wu, so he hurriedly bowed and replied respectfully.

"Oh, that's good, I have Lao Aiqing." Upon hearing that Emperor Gaozong had fallen asleep, Empress Wu was obviously relieved. Chong Yan glanced at him and said, "Ai Qing, come with me."

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys the order."

Ming Chongyan didn't understand what Empress Wu's intentions were for this move, but he didn't dare to ask further questions, he could only respectfully respond, and followed Empress Wu into the study not far away.

"Chongyan, can your majesty cure this disease?"

Empress Wu went straight to the back of the desk and sat down. After looking at Ming Chongyan solemnly for a while, she asked softly.

"If you want to return to your mother, I can only do my best."

As soon as Empress Wu called her name, Ming Chongyan couldn't help but tremble slightly, not daring to look up at Empress Wu's face, lowering her head, and stammeringly replied.

"I know, alas, then Lao Chongyan can only worry about it."

Empress Wu didn't seem to care about Ming Chongyan's panic, sighed, and said that it was necessary.

"Wei Chen will definitely do his best!"

Ming Chongyan knew about his own affairs—whether it was this time or the previous two treatments, those blah blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Gaozong's blocked brain meridian is nothing more than a temporary solution, it can't cure the root cause at all. What's more, because Gaozong's meridians have been sluggish all year round, if they go away so forcefully, there may be danger of drinking poison to quench thirst. Gaozong's health will only get worse and worse, and there is even the possibility of becoming a crazy person. Ming Chongyan knows this in his heart, but he dare not say it.

"Well, Chongyan has always been sincere, and I can trust these words." Empress Wu seemed to be very satisfied with Ming Chongyan's statement, nodded kindly, and gave a compliment.

"I dare not take credit for this humble official's duty."

Ming Chongyan was obviously not used to Empress Wu calling him by his own name directly, but he didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction, so he could only respond humbly.

"Duty? Duty is the rarest thing since ancient times, and it is our duty to share the worries of the Holy One. In this way, the hexagram that Aiqing calculated for the King of England yesterday is also our duty?" Empress Wu thought deeply. Taking a quick look at Ming Chongyan, he changed the subject abruptly, and asked quietly.

"My lady, my minister, my minister..."

As soon as Empress Wu said this, Ming Chongyan's body froze suddenly, and he wanted to speak out to defend himself, but when he saw Empress Wu's penetrating eyes, Ming Chongyan immediately lost the courage to lie, and his face turned pale Pale and pale, after a few tremblings, he slowly knelt down on the ground, his mind was so blank that he didn't know what he was talking about.

"You were stunned by the girl from the Zhao family, huh? You are so brave, you dare to lie to the Holy Majesty, are you really not afraid of death?" Empress Wu stared at Ming Chongyan with extremely cold eyes, and scolded sinisterly. road.

"Damn the humble minister, damn the humble minister!"

Ming Chongyan knew that his thoughts had completely fallen into the control of Empress Wu, and at this moment, he didn't dare to forcefully argue, he could only kowtow endlessly to beg for forgiveness.

"Hmph, for the sake of a mere slut, how dare you do this and tell me what to say about you. Is that girl from the Zhao family really so charming, huh?" It's just that these words sound like a jealous lover's scolding words to Airo.

"Your Majesty, my minister, I was confused for a while, and I failed my mother's painstaking efforts. I will never dare to do it again. I am willing to ask my mother to forgive me."

Although Ming Chongyan has always admired himself, but because of his appearance, he is always surrounded by people he admires, and his knowledge in love affairs is not bad. Hearing this questioning method from Empress Wu, he couldn't help but be amazed Surprised, he peeked at Empress Wu's face and saw that it was exactly as he had imagined, his heart trembled involuntarily, he didn't dare to look any more, he hurriedly lowered his head, hissing and calling Sin comes.

"Forget it, let's get along, I'm too lazy to argue with you, hmph, next time, let's see how I will deal with you!"

Looking at Ming Chongyan's incomparably handsome face, Empress Wu couldn't help but blushed a little, but soon returned to normal, and she scolded like a cover-up, which was considered to have exposed the matter, a typical tall Lift it up, put it down gently.

"I don't dare, I will definitely remember my mother's words."

As long as he can get out of the disaster, Ming Chongyan doesn't care about his arrogance. After kowtowing his head, he hurriedly stood up and stood aside with his hands down in a respectful manner.

"I heard that the Ministry of Rites has a candidate. It is said that Pei Lingling, the daughter of Zuo Jinwuwei General Pei Judao, is extremely expensive. She is quite suitable for the crown prince. She is a perfect match. What does Chongyan think about this, huh?" No longer caring about Ming Chongyan's bullying the emperor, the conversation changed again and talked about the prince's marriage.

"This... please forgive me for speaking bluntly, I'm afraid there is something wrong with it." Ming Chongyan was uneasy, and didn't want to make more troubles, but when he saw Wu Hou Xu's eyes, he changed his mind and changed his mind slightly. After pondering for a while, he gave a somewhat creepy inference.

"Oh? How do you say that?" Empress Wu did not comment on Ming Chongyan's deduction, but smiled encouragingly, and then asked.

"Your Majesty, I think that the efficiency of the Ministry of Rites is too high. In the past, I have never seen that group of dirty officials with such care. Moreover, General Pei has always been close to the Empress. He seems not to get along well with the Crown Prince. The Ministry of Rites The other side actually suggested that his daughter be the crown princess, if it hadn't some ulterior motives, I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain." Now that he had started, Ming Chongyan resolutely expressed his thoughts and concerns.

"Well, in your opinion, who did this, and what was their intention?" Empress Wu nodded calmly, and then asked another question.

"I don't dare to judge who is the mastermind, but the intention is nothing more than four words-to kill with a knife!" Ming Chongyan originally wanted to say that this matter was Li Xian's mastermind, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated. He had already had a deadly feud with Li Xian when he plotted against Zhao Qiong before, so if he said Li Xian's name directly, it was hard to guarantee that Empress Wu would not take revenge as a threat, so he simply made a vague statement, but what about the reason behind this move? With his heart, he said it with great certainty, vaguely pointing the finger at Li Xian.

"Murder with a borrowed knife? Oh, Chongyan is only half right. It would be more appropriate to say that it is 'Bianzhuang stabbing the tiger'." Empress Wu obviously saw far more profoundly than Ming Chongyan, and shook her head lightly, casually. He corrected the way with words.

"Ah, this..."

Ming Chongyan can be valued by Empress Wu, since he is an extraordinary person, after thinking about it for a while, he immediately broke out in sweat, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

"In your opinion, how should I deal with it?"

Seeing that Ming Chongyan could comprehend the seriousness of the situation so quickly, the appreciation in Empress Wu's eyes suddenly became stronger, she smiled slightly, stood up, and walked slowly to Ming Chongyan's body Before, asked with a faint smile.

This question is obviously not that easy to answer. Rao Ming Chongyan is so smart that he didn't dare to give an answer lightly for a while, so his brows were furrowed. After thinking silently for a long time, he was extremely cautious. He replied: "This is a matter of great importance. I really dare not speak nonsense. Perhaps it is a good strategy to follow the plan."

"Well, those who know my heart, Chongyan, Ben Gong..." Empress Wu obviously admired Ming Chongyan's strategy very much. At that time, when he was hanging on the water sleeve, his body lost his balance in an instant, and with a cry of surprise, he had already fallen on Ming Chongyan.

"Mother, empress, humble minister, humble minister..."

With Ming Chongyan's skill, it is easy to avoid Empress Wu's "throwing into the arms", even if it is to hold Empress Wu's arm, it is not difficult, but Ming Chongyan did not move, letting Empress Wu When he fell, he fell into his arms. Feeling the amazing elasticity from Empress Wu, Ming Chongyan's body froze for an instant, and he stammered, not knowing what to say, but Empress Wu didn't seem to hear Ming Chongyan's words. The muttering sound was just softly nestling on Ming Chongyan's chest, for a while, silence was better than sound...
