Confidante Saisuke

The heavy rain that had lasted for more than [-] days finally stopped.After the flood, however, came the plague.Wu Zhao was in full swing, selecting candidates to go to the south for disaster relief, and at the same time prevent the spread of the plague.

Xiao Jing took the drafted edict, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, there is something I don't understand, so I ask your Majesty to turn the clouds to see the sun." Wu Zhao was in a good mood, drank a sip of tea, and asked, "What can make me feel so embarrassed?" Zhou No. [-] smart people don’t understand?” Xiao Jing blushed and said, “That’s just nonsense. How dare you call yourself No. [-] with such a weak fluorescent light.” Then he said seriously, “At that time, I was recommending people for disaster relief. At that time, although Xu Zhongxi and Zeng Tianbao were written, the minister's selfishness was for Xu Zhongxi. Although Zeng Tianbao was quite capable, he had committed corruption before. The disaster relief was related to money and food, and the minister was worried that Zeng Tianbao would release him. The money and food given to the common people filled their own pockets and missed His Majesty’s business.” Wu Zhao nodded: “I think that Zeng Tianbao [-]% wants to embezzle my money and food, so I allocated more to him. The ones left, and those below took away. Although the rest cannot feed all the victims, they will not starve to death after all. Besides, he will live in those places for a month or two to check the plague , this job is bitter and dangerous, and it is reasonable to be greedy." Xiao Jing frowned greatly: "The salary given by His Majesty is enough for him to live on, and besides, he will be rewarded when he comes back. As long as he has the slightest heart to share his worries for His Majesty , and will not embezzle the money and food for disaster relief. If there is a slight carelessness in the disaster situation in more than ten states, the consequences will be disastrous."

Wu Meiniang stood up and walked out, Xiao Jing followed behind: "Then why did you recommend him when you knew this? It is precisely because he is really capable of handling this matter well. What I want is a stable situation in the disaster area, not someone to hold it for me The money bag saves money. You also know that this matter has a lot to do with it. If you send honest but incompetent people there, the money will be saved, but the matter will not be done well. What do you think the saved money is for? I have lost all my money, and I have to pay more money. I might as well give Zeng Tianbao some money, and let him settle the matter for me in one go. Xu Zhongxi is indeed clean and capable, but he has not given money before. After a disaster, this is not as good as Zeng Tianbao. This time the disaster is too serious, so I won’t let him practice his hands." Wu Zhao suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Jing with a smile: "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Xiao Jing, I can't ask everyone All the officials in Zhou are like you. Then I can only make you the emperor." Xiao Jing coughed: "Your Majesty's absurd praise." Wu Zhao patted Xiao Jing's shoulder: "Okay, these days You are tired too. Go down and rest."

Watching Xiao Jing go away, Wu Zhao turned and walked in the opposite direction.There are some things she didn't tell Xiao Jing.A courtier who is greedy for money, lustful and afraid of death is a good courtier.Without these so-called faults, the superiors would have nothing to reward and punish, and the courtiers would have nothing to fear.A courtier who has no shortcomings and fearlessness can be praised or killed, but he cannot be used.The reason why Xiao Jing was able to occupy a high position and be safe and sound was that, firstly, she pursued her reputation as the number one female minister, and secondly, because she framed Li Xian, she could never seek refuge with Li Tang.With these two burdens, Xiao Jing is bound to stand on Wu Zhao's side.

Wu Zhao sat down by the hot spring pool and looked at He Danggui's back: "Danggui, are you feeling better?" He Danggui suddenly woke up from his contemplation, turned his head and saw Wu Zhao, and quickly saluted: "Danggui doesn't know that His Majesty is coming, I beg your Majesty to forgive me for not welcoming you from far away." Wu Zhao patted her on the arm: "Okay. I'm already weak like this, so I don't need to be polite." He Danggui smiled and said, "Your Majesty has worked hard for days, why is he not in the palace?" Rest?" Wu Zhao said with a smile, "You haven't eaten for more than ten days because of me, and I'm not that hard-hearted, how can you be indifferent. I'm very touched. But, don't do this kind of thing again, it's too ruinous. You see See how thin you are." He Danggui nodded obediently: "Danggui will die for His Majesty without regret." Wu Zhao caressed He Danggui's brows and eyes: "If my world still needs my women to protect it, then Da Zhou Yang will not regret it." What are you doing with so many courtiers? You don’t have to worry about court affairs in the future, just read your medical books with peace of mind.” He Danggui held Wu Zhao’s hand: “Your Majesty, I’ll dry myself and give you a hug.” Wu Zhao hurriedly stopped She: "No. There are herbs in this hot spring, which are specially used to condition your body. You can soak for a while. Just wait a moment, I will come down to accompany you."

Wu Zhao was dressed in white and sat in the pool with He Danggui in his arms.This scene seems familiar.Thinking of Song Zhaohua saying that Shangguan Wan'er was injured when she rolled down the hill, he said to He Danggui, "Danggui, I will go out of the palace in a few days. You know Wan'er, right? I plan to pick her up and return to the palace." He Danggui straightened up Body: "Your Majesty wants to meet the Shangguan girl in person?" Wu Zhao nodded, "That child has a very bad temper. It is impossible for others to go. Even if I go, she will complain all the time." Why Danggui is not without Envy: "Danggui used to be on duty in the Taiyuan Hospital, and I often heard people say that His Majesty has infinite favor on Shangguan girl. Today I know that this statement is true." Wu Zhao couldn't help laughing: "Why do I feel a little drunk when I hear this? What do you mean by jealousy? Don't worry, I will not fail Wan'er, nor will you. You can take care of your body in peace in the palace." He Danggui nodded and returned to Wu Zhao's arms: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Linbo Pavilion.Wu Li family banquet.

While everyone was drinking, He Danggui quietly flirted with Princess Taiping and pouted towards the door.Princess Taiping nodded slightly.After a while, He Danggui went out under an excuse and stood under the willow tree by the pool to enjoy the scenery.Princess Taiping came over and said, "Doctor He is very interested." He Danggui smiled and said, "Danggui knows that we have another ally, and he is in a happy mood, so his interest is also high. There is no difference." Princess Taiping snorted, and asked: "I wonder who this ally is?" He Danggui turned his head and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty told me the day before yesterday that she was going to pick up Shangguan Wan'er back to the palace. Then Shangguan Wan'er Although she is your mother's favorite daughter, she left the palace because of that incident and has never returned. Today is different. I guess that Shangguan Wan'er must hate your mother to the bone, and she has a family feud with your mother. Wait for her to come back Empress, we just need to mention a little bit, new and old hatred, she will definitely turn against your mother."

Princess Taiping looked into the distance and thought, and finally said: "This is not right. Shangguan Wan'er can't go back to the palace." He Danggui asked: "Why?" Princess Taiping pondered: "My mother and Shangguan Wan'er broke up more than once. However, that Shangguan Wan'er is extremely infatuated with my mother, every time my mother only needs a few words to coax her to change her mind. I tried her before, but it didn't work. If I really let Shangguan Wan'er go back to the palace, not only I can't help you and me, but it gave my mother a pair of eyes." He Danggui asked again: "Your mother has already told me that she is leaving the palace, who dares to refute her idea." Princess Taiping smiled and said: "Then Just let her change her mind. My mother doesn’t love anyone, she only loves herself. We just need to let her know that going out of the palace will be harmful to her.” Princess Taiping turned to lean on the railing, her eyes closed In a daze, a figure flashed behind the tree in the distance, and said hurriedly: "There are too many people here, so I won't say much. Anyway, I will deal with this matter, and you don't have to worry about it."

After Princess Taiping walked away, Wu Chengsi stood up from behind the tree.He Danggui smiled like a flower watching him approach step by step.When Wu Chengsi came up to him, He Danggui stretched out his hands, Wu Chengsi caught He Danggui and hugged He Danggui in his arms. "Chengsi, have you drank a lot?" He Danggui smelled the alcohol on Wu Chengsi's clothes.Wu Chengsi hugged the soft and boneless body tightly in his arms: "I'm very unhappy. I'm so far away from you, but my aunt is sitting beside you doing what I should be able to do. My aunt is obviously a woman, but she wants to possess you. I can't take it anymore." He Danggui laughed all over his face, but his tone was pity: "Don't be angry. The future will last forever, why should you be in a hurry. My heart is always yours." Wu Chengsi suddenly looked up at her: "What if I want yours?" He Danggui blushed, put his hands around Wu Chengsi's neck, lowered his head and said softly: "Of course it's yours too. Don't you know? "Wen Xiangruanyu, whispering softly, Wu Chengsi stretched out his head to kiss He Danggui's earlobe: "I want it now." He Danggui hurriedly pushed him away: "Don't be here. People come and go, don't die Already? You come with me." He Danggui took Wu Chengsi's hand to the room where the maid took her to rest just now.Wu Chengsi turned his back to the door, but He Danggui clearly saw a figure standing at the door for a while and ran away.

Wu Zhao was furious when he heard the maid's whisper, but the family ugliness should not be publicized.Wu Zhao, led by the maid, walked towards He Danggui's resting room.Although everyone saw that Wu Zhao left the table early and got up quickly, they didn't take it seriously when they saw that her expression was normal, and continued to drink and chat after Wu Zhao left.

Seeing the half-undressed clothes of men and women in front of him, Wu Zhao shouted in a low voice: "Wu Chengsi, I think you think you have lived too long, don't you?" Standing at the door, Wu Zhao was so frightened that most of the wine sobered up, and immediately knelt on the ground, thinking urgently: "Auntie, this woman is the one who seduced me. I saw her and Taiping sneaking around by the lake and I didn't know what to say, so I went over there." Ask her. Who knew that she lured me here while I was drunk. I was so confused that I didn't know what I did. Aunt, please forgive me." After finishing speaking, she kowtowed on the ground.He Danggui slowly got down from the table, his face was full of tears, he glanced at Wu Zhao, knelt down Yingying, and didn't speak.

Wu Zhao shouted angrily in a low voice: "Shut up. Get the hell out of here." Wu Chengsi quickly stood up and ran away.Wu Zhao looked at He Danggui's tearful and speechless appearance, and sneered: "He Danggui, you keep saying that you love me, is this what you mean by love?" Die." Wu Zhao looked at He Danggui coldly for a while, and finally said, "Come back with me."

Sitting in front of the case, Wu Zhao watched He Danggui knelt on the ground motionless, and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?" How long will it be his..." Wu Zhao snorted, and He Danggui immediately fell silent.Wu Zhao said: "Continue." He Danggui Fang continued: "Even if Danggui doesn't follow today, he will still belong to him in the future. As long as Danggui is alive, don't even think about escaping from his palm." Wu Zhao said coldly: "You I was frightened by his threat, so I followed him?" He Danggui's tears welled up in his eyes again: "Your Majesty Ninth Five-Year, how do you know that a lowly female pet can't do anything? Any Wu Family in this palace, Li Family's Princes and princesses can easily crush Danggui to death like ants. Danggui is just trying to curry favor with one another and live in the face of others. Even if Danggui is willing to die loyal to His Majesty, Danggui still has parents and relatives, can Danggui not care about their lives?" Wu Zhao said helplessly: "Is it so hard to be my female favorite? You are my woman, and someone bullies you, so you can tell me and let me be the master, why bother supporting yourself."

He Danggui cried even harder: "Your Majesty doesn't care about me at all. I know that I have no weight in His Majesty's heart. How dare I ask Your Majesty to make decisions." Wu Zhao was stunned for a moment: "I didn't do anything, did I?" Said: "Your Majesty is going to pick up Shangguan Wan'er back to the palace. That Shangguan Wan'er left the palace because of the male pet. She can't tolerate Dang Gui at all. But His Majesty insists on picking her up. She is coming back, how can there be anything else?" Danggui's way of life." Wu Zhao couldn't help laughing: "You are too timid. Don't worry, Wan'er is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. You can talk to her carefully, and she won't do anything." He Danggui cried and shook his head: " Your Majesty, you don't understand at all. No woman in this world can bear to share her lover with others. Do you think that Angelica really has no idea when she sees His Majesty with those male favorites? Angelica just wants His Majesty to be happy and doesn't want His Majesty I endured it because I was wronged." Wu Zhao was silent, and after a while he beckoned to He Danggui: "Come here." He Danggui followed Wu Zhao's words and came to sit down next to Wu Zhao.Wu Zhao said softly: "I will handle this matter well, so you don't have to worry. If someone threatens you in the future, you can come to me directly. I said I will protect you, and I will definitely protect you." He Danggui nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Suddenly he lowered his head again: "Your Majesty, King Wei just kissed Danggui's neck, will His Majesty dislike Danggui being touched by him?" Wu Zhao frowned: "No. You go to take a bath first, and come back to accompany me With tea."

He Danggui got up and took a few steps, then turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, will you still want Danggui in the future?" Wu Zhao said helplessly, "Danggui, you have to have more confidence in me. If I say I won't let you down, I won't let you down." "He Danggui left with a smile.Wu Zhao's smiling face slowly cooled down.Wu Chengsi, do you think you are the only descendant of the Wu family?

Several imperial physicians took turns to look at Shangguan Wan'er's injuries, and then went out to study for a long time.Shangguan Wan'er couldn't figure out what was wrong, so she could only feel uneasy on the bed.After suffering for a long time, the person who claimed to be the Imperial Physician of Qin came in, sat down on the stool beside the bed, stroked his beard, and said: "Miss Shangguan, I have discussed with several imperial physicians for a long time and there is no conclusion, this matter is up to you Make up your mind." Shangguan Wan'er's heart skipped a beat: "But what's wrong with me? The imperial doctor doesn't have to worry, just speak up if you have something to say."

Doctor Qin sat up straight and said, "Miss Shangguan, you have suffered serious injuries to your internal organs and knees. Before we came, someone must have treated you. The injuries to your internal organs were treated in a timely manner and saved The life of the girl. We have seen the prescription of the soup and medicine to drink later, and the medicine is a bit ordinary, but it is not serious. It will be fine to replace it with the medicine in the palace. The problem is this knee..." Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly asked: " But I can't stand up anymore?" Doctor Qin shook his head quickly: "That's not true. It's just that when the knee is bone-setting, the bone is not completely reset. If it is allowed to grow like this, the girl will still be able to walk in the future, but I can’t climb slopes, I can’t run, and I can’t carry heavy loads. But if I want to reset, I have to cut the ligaments again and set the bones again. The girl has to endure the pain of bone setting again. The pain after bone setting is not light. The few of us After discussing for a long time, I couldn't come up with an idea, so I asked the girl to make a decision."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled wryly, she finally endured such a life-and-death pain, but it was all in vain, and she had to go through it again.Doctor Qin looked at Shangguan Wan'er in deep thought, and got up to go out.Before I got to the door, I heard Shangguan Wan'er say: "Princess Qin, please prepare with all the other physicians to set my bones again."

Fang brought towels as ordered by Imperial Physician Qin, and watched Imperial Physician Qin put all the medical tools on the table one by one, feeling a little terrified, and quickly turned to look at Shangguan Wan'er.Shangguan Wan'er looked at the top of the tent, wondering if she was afraid.Thinking of Han Ma saying that the clothes that Shangguan Wan'er changed every day were all soaked, and finally the pain was a little less these days, but in the end she had to suffer again.Thinking of Shangguan Wan'er's life experience and those rumors in the market, she couldn't help but feel that her life was really hard.Shangguan Wan'er felt that someone was gently arranging the hair on her forehead, and turned her face away, just in time to meet Shang Fang's eyes full of pity.Shangguan Wan'er smiled: "I'm fine. I've already straightened my bones once, and I know what to do, so I'll pass it." Fang said softly: "At this time, I don't need to comfort others anymore." She suddenly thought that if nothing else Wouldn't it be more painful later to divert her attention from the matter.However, before she could say anything, Imperial Physician Qin came over: "Miss Shangguan, we are all ready, just waiting for Miss Shangguan's order." Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "Then let's begin." After finishing speaking Looking at Fang Shi.Fang Shi stuffed the towel into Shangguan Wan'er's mouth according to the doctor Qin's previous order, and did not dare to look to the right, only staring at Shangguan Wan'er's face.

Not knowing what Imperial Physician Qin was doing there, Shangguan Wan'er's hand slowly grasped the cloth sheet under her body, veins popped up on the back of her hand, and sweat poured down her forehead.Fang held back the soreness in his eyes, and carefully wiped the sweat off Shangguan Wan'er's forehead.I heard Imperial Physician Qin say beside me: "I'll count to one or two, let's work hard together." The other imperial physician hummed.Hearing only "one, two" and no other sounds, the muscles on Shangguan Wan'er's face suddenly twisted into a ball, she clenched the towel tightly, and her muffled hum came to Fang's ears.Fang couldn't help it, tears gushed out, and hurriedly turned to wipe them off.

Then it was Imperial Physician Qin shouting "one two".Fang quickly turned her head to look at Shangguan Wan'er, she had already passed out from the pain, her clothes were completely wet.Fang wiped the cold sweat off Shangguan Wan'er's head, covering her mouth and crying.Doctor Qin was also sweating, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Miss Shangguan's courage is not inferior to that of men. This kind of suffering is not something ordinary people can bear."

When Shangguan Wan'er woke up, she found that her clothes had been changed.This is also good, so as not to wake up and change again and have to suffer again.Suddenly I heard Fang's voice: "Wan'er, are you awake?" Shangguan Wan'er turned her head, Fang was sitting on a stool looking at her.Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Sister Fang, have you been watching me here?" Seeing Fang's nodding, she hurriedly said, "I'm fine, sister Fang, go and have a rest." Shangguan Wan'er: "Is my tiredness one-tenth of your pain?" As soon as I said the words, I regretted it.He obviously didn't want her to suffer any more, so why bring this up again.

Fang Shi was afraid that Shangguan Wan'er would think of the pain again, so she hurriedly said, "Wan'er, you haven't eaten all day, you're starving. I'll go and serve you food." Shangguan Wan'er just wanted to persuade Fang Shi to let her Just order Han Ma to do it, but Fang's footsteps are extremely fast, and he turned away in a few moments.After a while, Fang Shi came in with a plate, saw Shangguan Wan'er looking at her, smiled softly, and gently put the plate on the table.

"I'll help you sit up, and tell me if it hurts." Mrs. Fang helped Shangguan Waner sit up, put a few pillows behind her for support, and then brought food to Shangguan Waner.Shangguan Wan'er said shyly: "Put me a small table on the bed, and I can eat it myself. Besides, I can let Mother Han do these things, instead of Sister Fang doing it herself." Fang fed the vegetables into the In Shangguan Wan'er's mouth, she said softly: "Wan'er doesn't like to be fed by me, does she?" Shangguan Wan'er quickly shook her head: "No. It's just that I have been bothering Sister Fang so much, and I feel really sorry." Fang's voice was soft and soft : "Wan'er, seeing you in so much pain, I really feel bad. I wish I could bear the pain for you. You ask me to do my best for you. Although I can't relieve your pain, at least I feel better."

Shangguan Wan'er's heart moved, thinking that Mrs. Fang often came to chat with her in the room, and felt that she was thinking too much. "What is Wan'er thinking?" Shangguan Wan'er raised her head just in time to meet Fang Shi's watery gaze, she shook her head with a smile, "It's nothing." Fang Shi didn't ask much, and just concentrated on feeding her.

After several days in a row, He Danggui did not find any sign that Wu Zhao was about to leave the palace.Thinking of Princess Taiping's words, she couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, when do you plan to pick up Miss Shangguan?" Wu Zhao, who was putting vegetables on the plate, gave a pause, and said calmly, "I won't go." A few days ago, she discussed going out of the palace with Song Zhaohua again, but Song Zhaohua told her that many people had recently entered the palace.The kung fu of these characters is much higher than those of the previous ones.Furthermore, judging from Xue Huaiyi's notes, the Turks' defeat is set and they will return to the court soon.It would be too embarrassing for him not to be in the palace at that time.After much deliberation, forget it.

He Danggui was secretly delighted, but his face was full of surprise: "Your Majesty isn't going to take Miss Shangguan back to the palace?" Wu Zhao smiled slightly: "I wrote a letter to her and sent someone to deliver it. Wan'er read it Xin will understand me. When she comes back, I will tell her about you, so you don't have to worry." He Danggui said oh.Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Do you want her to come back?"

He Danggui pouted and said, "Your Majesty knows why and asked." Wu Zhao pulled her over and said, "What is the explanation?" He Danggui turned around and said, "Your Majesty knows it very well, why pretend to be confused." Wu Zhao haha Laughed: "I don't understand. Danggui told me." He Danggui lowered his head and fiddled with the dishes on the plate: "Miss Shangguan came back, and there is another person to share His Majesty's love with Danggui. How can Danggui be happy. But , Dang Gui also knows that Miss Shangguan has been with His Majesty for many years, and she has long been inseparable from His Majesty. How can the relationship be broken at will. His Majesty will not say it, but Dang Gui knows that His Majesty is thinking of her, so she will come back. What's the difference. It's better to let Miss Shangguan come back so that His Majesty won't worry about it." After speaking, He Danggui gave Wu Zhao a stare.

Wu Zhao smiled and coaxed her: "Don't be jealous. I like you and Wan'er. I can't bear to part with either. Don't worry, when Wan'er comes back, I will make her reconcile with you." He Danggui turned around Looking at Wu Zhao from the body: "Your Majesty will not be partial at that time, only to her, not to me." Wu Zhao laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I promise, a bowl of water will be flat, and you will not help your relatives." : "Your Majesty is saying who is right and who is close." Wu Zhao hurriedly begged for mercy: "My fault, my fault. It is my fault. It should be that the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh." He Danggui let Wu Zhao go. .

The author has something to say: I don’t know if the scale of writing this way will be too large, and I hope that the text will not be locked.
