Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Six: Peaceful Steps(1/2)

It's a bit embarrassing now.

Although the old imperial doctor in the lead felt that Empress Changsun praised her, she felt quite ashamed of it.

After all, I and my colleagues in the Imperial Hospital have been busy for so long, but the Empress's condition has not improved.

I feel a little embarrassed to take credit now.

But then again.

Although the Imperial Hospital has not cured the disease, it has been busy for more than a month, and there is no credit and hard work. So what did Chen Zhengtai do? Isn’t it just that one prescription was prescribed, and our Imperial Hospital also prescribed dozens of prescriptions!

Has he decocted the medicine? Has he stayed in this bedroom every day to serve him?

None!

Where is us? We worked hard and stayed up day and night, and we lost seven or eight pounds.

But... you still have to be humble.

The old imperial doctor coughed and said, "I am really congratulations. Is there any contribution I have made, but I am just doing my best..."

When he said this, Princess Changle suddenly interrupted him and said, "It's good that you know that you have no credit and your medical skills are mediocre. You are no longer needed here, so you should all retreat!"

Old imperial doctor: "..."

How could the eldest princess speak like this...

Several imperial doctors felt depressed.

only……

But he heard Princess Changle add fuel to the air and said: "Mother, your disease is actually cured by Chen Zhengtai. He only prescribed one prescription and asked Xiurong to send it. With only one dose of medicine, the mother was cured after sleeping overnight. As for these quack doctors, I knew they were useless. After working hard for a long time, I delayed the condition after taking such medicine. If I had known this, I would have invited Chen Zhengtai early in the morning. Why should my mother suffer for so long?"

Then, Princess Changle snorted unhappily, and then said, "I think the imperial doctors in the palace should be replaced. After being in the palace for a long time, their medical skills have not improved, but have only learned to be slick. This is a matter of life and should not be underestimated. They should recruit talents and recruit a group of new famous doctors to replace them."

Old imperial doctor: "..."

It is hateful to smash people’s jobs!

But if it was Li Lizhi who threw their jobs, it would be completely different.

Several imperial doctors had embarrassing smiles on their faces, but they didn't dare to say no, so they could only stand aside blankly.

Empress Changsun couldn't help but say in surprise: "Is it Chen Zhengtai?"

This is an old disease, and it has repeated attacks. Every winter, she coughs and has difficulty breathing!

She became even more ill this year. She even thought she would not be able to survive this year. After all, even so many imperial doctors were helpless.

But now it sounds like Chen Zhengtai has recovered from just one medicine.

She couldn't help but say, "This Chen Zhengtai is still good at this? Your Majesty... In this way, he is my concubine's life-savior."

Li Shimin was beside him. Seeing that Guanyin maid was getting better and was in a good mood, he laughed and said, "Chen Zhengtai is my disciple. He also called you a master's wife. He should be the one who should be the one who saves you. It would be too disgusting to say that he is a life-saving benefactor."

Queen Changsun said very seriously: "Don't say this. If this is the case, wouldn't it be a chilling heart? Come on, hurry up, go and invite Chen Zhengtai."

Princess Sui'an has always been in the corner. She doesn't like to get up to show how happy she is, but she is secretly happy in her heart, but she looks a little sad when she looks at Princess Changle again.

Zhang Qian entered the hall, originally trying to inform the prince and Changsun Wuji that he had arrived, but he was stunned at this time. Now that he heard that Chen Zhengtai was coming, he had to go out again!

He trotted all the way and ran into Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji who were outside. Li Chengqian first saw several imperial doctors shaking their heads like dogs falling into the water. His heart skipped a beat, thinking something big was going to happen!

Li Chengqian didn't care about waiting for Zhang Qian to report, rushed into the hall and wailed: "Mother Queen...Mother Queen..."

But as soon as I went in, I saw my mother sitting upright, looking at her with a smile on her face.

Li Chengqian was startled: "Oh, there is a ghost."

Li Shimin was beside him, wishing he could be beaten to death.

Queen Changsun frowned slightly, but was not displeased, and said in a gentle voice: "Prince, why are you still scaring? Don't be surprised. My illness has been cured. Come on... I'll see you, you've lost weight again."

Li Chengqian then stepped forward and looked at his mother, and realized that it was just a false alarm.

Changsun Wuji, who followed him, couldn't help but be glad!

After worrying about his sister's body, he was shocked when he heard the girl say something about Chen Zhengtai!

Chen Zhengtai saved it? This kid... really knows everything. With this magical technique, why worry about not being able to be in the emperor's heart in the future? His sister is the one who knows the best to repay kindness. With this alone, I am afraid that the Changsun family and the Chen family will become true family friends.

Empress Changsun ate some porridge and had completely recovered her strength. She became energetic and looked much better. Although she occasionally coughed, it relieved a lot.

Princess Changle was around and kept talking about Chen Zhengtai. Of course, these were all second-hand news from Princess Sui'an!

"My mother, Chen Zhengtai is open-minded and decent, and he is very modest in daily life. He is a disciple of his father and always takes his father to heart. Such a person... is really rare. I see many people who say that his father is wise, but he only cares about his own family in his heart. The so-called heart is separated from the belly. Although everyone in this world is a subject of the father capital, what they please is the emperor. The father is the emperor, so they say that the emperor is wise. If the surname Zhang and Zhao become the emperor in the future, they will also say that the emperor is wise. Only Chen Zhengtai is truly loyal to his father."

Princess Changle said again: "Although I am in the palace, I know a lot about things outside. With Chen Zhengtai here, I don't worry about my mother's old illness. There are many people in the world who claim to be talented, but they are just the right ability to recite poems, which is not a big deal. I heard that Chen Zhengtai can also write poems. His poetry is very good, but he never reveals it. At a young age, it is really rare to have such a sense of not competing and competing."

She obviously forgot that she was young.

However, most princesses in the Tang Dynasty were precocious, and because they were nobles, they were naturally more knowledgeable than more people, let alone the daughter of Empress Changsun!

Princess Changle said again: "I also heard that a few days ago, Chen Zhengtai summoned many monks and Taoists to Erpigou. Everyone did not understand the meaning. The Chen family also added a lot of money for indulgence and oil. Xiurong said, if you think carefully, how can it be done? The Chen family is going to do rituals, and it has caused such a big disturbance, but the Chen family doesn't say the reason, which is unpredictable. Now, it's nine out of ten that it is because the mother's queen is sick. Chen Zhengtai is worried, but he is even more anxious than the prince. So he summoned people to do rituals and pray for blessings so that the mother's queen can be safe and safe, but he is afraid that others misunderstand that the Chen family deliberately wanted to please the palace, so they were just vague about this matter, so that people outsiders didn't know what rituals they were doing. Mother, can't you call such a person a moral master?"

Li Chengqian: “…”

He said in his heart, why is Chen Zhengtai even more anxious than the orphan?

He thought again, did Chen Zhengtai summon so many monks and Taoists to pray for his mother? Is that true? Is that true?

He himself began to be confused.

Princess Changle has been favored since childhood, and is more generous than others. She is very verbal. This is very reasonable, and Empress Changsun is also very moved when she hears it.

As for people, they love the house after all. Now that their mother has been saved by Chen Zhengtai, they naturally feel that this person likes her!

What's more... there is a Princess Sui'an who brags about Chen Zhengtai every day. I heard this a lot and didn't think anything at first, but now... I found that all the clues are connected, so the impression Chen Zhengtai gave people shines brightly.

Princess Sui'an looked at Princess Changle enviously. Why can she say this? I also thought so in my heart, but I can't say it.

After a full hour, Zhang Qian finally came back in a hurry and reported: "Mr. Chen asked for a meeting."

Empress Changsun smiled and said happily: "Please come in."

Chen Zhengtai walked in and saw that many old acquaintances were saluting Li Shimin and Empress Changsun first.

Immediately, before Empress Changsun could speak, Chen Zhengtai said, "Congratulations to the master's wife for being in danger, huh? There is a charcoal basin here? Oh, come, get the charcoal basin away."

Empress Changsun couldn't help but say suspiciously: "What's the reason?"

"What the Empress suffers from is Qi disease." Chen Zhengtai said: "Empress, is this Qi disease rarely occurring when it is hot, and when it is cold, it will start to occur repeatedly and will not be cured for a long time?"

Empress Changsun nodded, and she looked at Chen Zhengtai in convincingly: "What's the reason?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "There is a thing called thermal expansion and contraction, cough cough...this...this..." It seems that there is no way to explain it!

"This cold air sucks into the Empress's heart and lungs, and even the Empress's heart and lungs are stimulated, so this qi is prone to attack. Of course, this is only one, so the Empress must pay attention to keeping warm and keeping cold, especially not easily exposed to the cold wind. The second is that the Empress keeps cold and has built a charcoal basin in this hall. Although the charcoal basin continuously provides heating, the evaporated qi is harmful to the master's wife, so you must never use the charcoal basin to keep warm."

Originally, Empress Changsun called Chen Zhengtai to praise her, but she didn't know that Chen Zhengtai had a doctor's advice first.

Empress Changsun frowned and said, "What you said makes sense, but... you said you can't use charcoal fire to keep warm, but you also said you can't bear the cold wind. Isn't this a contradiction?"

"This is easy to deal with." Chen Zhengtai said with a smile: "Students are the best in this regard. I think it is possible to renovate a heating pipe in this bedroom, so that the empress can rest assured, and the empress will give this to the student."

Empress Changsun smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I am relieved to leave this to you. This time, it is really thanks to you. Otherwise, I really don't know if I can get through it."

Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "This is not a big credit, it is just a duty that the students should do. If the teacher's wife is so disgusted, the students will be too ashamed. Moreover, the students only provided the prescription, which was cooked by the junior sister. She is a daughter-in-law and it is not easy to work hard."

Princess Sui'an heard her heart pounding. Senior brother is indeed like this, and the credit is all for others.

Princess Changle kept looking at Chen Zhengtai, thinking in her heart that Xiurong was right.

Empress Changsun was very happy. She stood up and Princess Changle wanted to support her. Empress Changsun waved her hand and then took a few steps alone: ​​"I know you are talented. I heard that you have summoned many monks and Taoists to Erpigou to pray for my palace?"

Chen Zhengtai: "…"

Of course, Chen Zhengtai's face was not at all abnormal, he just muttered in his heart, is that so? Well, maybe that's it!

He said sincerely: "The Empress actually knew about this. It was just a mere effort, and it was really nothing."

The more modest he is, the more Empress Changsun feels that Chen Zhengtai is not simple!

Empress Changsun said: "I look at people, not at their talents first, but at their virtues first. If they have lack of virtue, even those with talent may not be good for the world. I think you are a virtuous person. I didn't expect that Chen had such a person, which is really awesome. I am just a woman in the harem, and there is no way to reward you. But if this kind of life-saving grace is not rewarded, I feel really guilty. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Li Shimin was by his side, just smiling and drinking tea. At this time, after listening to Empress Changsun’s words, he understood what Empress Changsun meant!

Li Shimin said, "Yes, I have always valued him very much and asked the prince to be his companion. He is now the prince's servant. This time, I have driven him out. Why not let Chen Zhengtai replace Kong Yingda as the right concubine son of the Eastern Palace?"

Queen Changsun nodded and smiled, "It's so great, the prince really needs a partner around him."

Right son...

This is considered a promotion.

The prince's servants are more of accompaniment, but the right concubine's son is different. As the second-ranked person in the Eastern Palace organization, Chen Zhengtai is responsible for teaching the prince's responsibilities.

Generally speaking, the East Palace organization belongs to the future reserve officials, that is, once the new king ascends the throne and the crown prince becomes the emperor, then the officials of the East Palace will immediately begin to enter the three provinces and six ministries!

Such a right concubine will surely be able to gain a high position among the three provinces in the future.

Of course... this is just an ideal situation. What if the prince, the prince, failed to become the emperor?

In view of the entire Tang Dynasty history, there were almost no precedents where princes could finally ascend the throne as emperor. For example, Li Shimin was not the crown prince, but he still ascended the throne after his brothers were cut down. For example, Li Chengqian in history was finally deposed, and Li Zhi's crown prince was finally executed, and Wu Zetian was promoted...
