Queen's Physician

Chapter 54

The long journey was undoubtedly torture for Li Hanyong, who had always been pampered, and he was already exhausted when he arrived in the capital.The person who came to greet him proposed that Li Hanyong go to the most famous Huakui Pavilion in the capital to open his eyes, but Li Hanyong refused. After eating some hungry food, he went upstairs to rest early.

Because of Wu Youyou's presence, Wu Wenfei asked Xiao Er to send the meal directly to the room.

After an unharmed night, there was already a dark movement in the palace a few miles away.The always serious emperor set up a banquet for the first time tonight, saying that he wanted to connect with the ministers of humerus. Some people were confused and some people were turbulent. Anyway, the emperor's goal was achieved.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Hanyong, who had rested, recovered most of his vitality, and after some dressing up, he went out with two followers.The waiter in the store watched Li Hanyong go out after changing his appearance, and muttered in confusion: "Why haven't I seen this young man before?"

"Pa" was hit on the head, Xiao Er just wanted to get angry and turned around to see the proprietress who was supporting her waist, his angry face instantly turned into a smiling face, "Madam proprietress, why did you hit me again for no reason?"

"What are you muttering about here? Don't go to work, my mother's money is thrown into the water every month?" Jin Caifeng threw the rag in Xiaoer's hand dissatisfied, "Hurry up and go to work! "

"No, Ma'am, listen to me. I have never seen the young man who just left. Why did he suddenly come out of Tianzihao's room? I wonder if he..."

"Is it something? Don't get out and go to work." Jin Caifeng glared, Xiao Er had to obediently go to work.Jin Caifeng stared at the back of Li Hanyong and felt strange.It's not that she didn't understand what Xiaoer said just now. The Tianzihao room was booked up by several people yesterday, but she had never seen that young master appear just now.

"Madam Boss" Just as Jin Caifeng was contemplating, someone shouted from behind.Jin Caifeng immediately raised a sweet smile, "What's the matter, guest officer?"

I saw the man in front of me take out an ingot of twelve taels of gold ingot from his arms, "My master said, I want to stay here for a while, and I hope the proprietress will serve you with delicious food and drink. This is a deposit, and I hope the proprietress Take it first."

Opening the door to do business naturally won't make life difficult for money. The man on the other side said so, but his eyes are another matter. Recalling that the son Jin Caifeng who just left the house knew it, and took the gold ingot with a smile, "Definitely, after a while I will take good care of you, and make sure you are satisfied."

"It's easy to say, easy to say" Ming people don't say dark words, but those of them who walk in the rivers and lakes naturally say things that they can understand. Seeing that Jin Caifeng is not a person who can't understand clearly, the man on the opposite side doesn't say much. .

Li Hanyong walked all the way west, towards the opposite direction to the palace.In order to avoid attracting attention, Li Hanyong did not even have a sedan chair, and walked to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was more than ten miles away from the imperial palace.

When Li Hanyong arrived, the prime minister had already been waiting at the door for a long time. In order to deceive others, the two had almost no communication at the door and went straight in.

When he arrived in the inner court, the prime minister made a gesture to salute, but was stopped by Li Hanyong, "Your Excellency, you are polite, you don't need so many etiquettes in private."

"Hehe, thank you, my lord." The prime minister turned sideways, "Your lord, please..."

In the emperor's imperial study room, the emperor has held a copy of "36 Strategies" in his hands for a long time, but the emperor's thoughts have drifted to nowhere, and the eunuchs serving beside him are sweating on their foreheads. , not to mention that here is a tiger.

"Yichen..."

"Minions are here"

The emperor threw the book in his hand on the table, "How about being the emperor?"

"Your Majesty..." the eunuch was anxious, this is not a good omen, isn't today an auspicious day?

"Don't worry, I don't want your head, just tell the truth, I'm sorry for your innocence."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but this old slave is an eunuch, this..."

"If you tell me, just say it, isn't it that you are not guilty! I reward you for your good words."

The emperor has guaranteed the ticket, and there are rewards for what he said. It seems that he is also at a disadvantage. After weighing it over and over again, Yichen still tremblingly said: "The old slave feels that being the emperor is too hard. Your majesty, you spend a lot of money every day. According to the booklet, it will take three or four hours, and this is still a year of good weather, if there is a disaster somewhere, you will have to worry about it even more."

"Well, it makes sense, let's continue." The emperor was very satisfied with what the old eunuch beside him who had served him for more than 20 years said. It was indeed a reflection of his real life. As a wise emperor, these were only qualified.

"And your majesty's family affairs, this old servant has seen too much. All the ladies are not easy-going lamps, and it's impossible to neglect any of them. Some involve emotions, and some involve the previous court. It's only good to maintain a balance."

"Hehe, old cunning, dare to say that women are not cheap."

"The emperor forgives you, old slave..."

"Okay, okay, get up!" The emperor actually stood up by himself, walked to Yichen's side and pulled him up, which made Yichen's heart moved and his eyes turned red.The emperor couldn't help but sighed in his heart when he saw it, but he was just a slave but he saw it more clearly than any minister, and he didn't know whether he should be thankful or annoyed.

"Yichen, you see, in this position, I have reduced taxes, lightened corvees, and emphasized production. In the past ten years, I have not said that I have made people's lives rich, but at least they can have enough food and clothing, but some people just don't give up. They always want to make trouble. Something will happen. When a war breaks out, the people who will be implicated must be the common people. When the time comes, their homes will be destroyed, and many people will have to live in other places. The family business they have accumulated in the past will be wiped out regardless of their size. I really don't want to see this scene!"

Yichen feels that today's emperor is a little different, not as serious as before, but full of an indescribable feeling.

"It's getting late, Yichen, come in for breakfast, I'm a little hungry."

"The empress sent someone to say that she has prepared breakfast, and the emperor will come over!"

The emperor smiled coldly, "Come back, I will drink a bowl of porridge in this imperial study, and experience the life of ordinary people. I really don't have the appetite to eat those porridge with abalone, scallops, and shark's fin early in the morning."

Although I know that the emperor and the empress are just formalities, the emperor will not refute the face of the general empress, but today's accidents are one hair after another, Yichen feels that this is going to happen in the inner palace Something happened.

Someone sent by the queen came to report that the emperor was not coming. The queen was startled and lost her appetite when she saw the table full of side dishes, "I have rewarded you all. I am tired. Aster, please help me go back to my room to rest." one time."

"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten anything since you got up..." Cui Ju felt sorry for the Empress who got up early, and was busy for a long time, but waited for the Emperor to say "I won't come", which made the Empress' hard work go to waste.

"Forget it, Aster, you can stay and eat too. Those are all recently paid tributes. They are fresh, so don't waste them."

"Empress, Aster is not hungry, let's go in with the empress!"

The queen was tired, and didn't have much strength to fight with Aster, so she walked back to the room while supporting Aster.
