When Queen Zhang arrived at Xinuang Pavilion, Zhu Youtang had already regarded Ning Tong as a living goddess with skillful hands and benevolent heart under the praise of the concubine Xian.
Of course Zhu Youtang only smiled politely, because he knew that the main credit for all this came from Zhang Zhou, but when Zhang Zhou was not convenient to appear in the capital, Ning Tong occasionally came out as a guest star. Just a moment.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is here."
When the little palace maid came in to convey the message, Concubine Xian's body shook violently, and even Ning Tong felt uncomfortable all over.
The emperor has nothing to fear.
After all, the emperor had a good relationship with Zhu Feng and Zhang Zhou, and he seemed approachable and approachable, unlike a man-eating tiger.
But the queen is different.
Empress Zhang of the Ming Dynasty, just by looking at her two younger brothers who were arrogant and domineering, she knew that the old Zhang family’s tutoring was not very good, and Ning Tong was also the empress’s “love rival” Xian Fei, so this was natural. Be classified as an alien.
"The daughter of the people should avoid it first." Ning Tong was not stupid, so it was best to find a place to hide at this time.
But after all, Xi Nuan Pavilion was built to serve as a side palace envoy, so there was no place to hide.
Zhu Youtang said, "There is no need to avoid it. We will have more opportunities to meet in the future. You will learn more medical skills from Bingkuan and you can serve as a female official in and out of the palace."
The implication is, You can still enter the palace more often in the future.
Zhu Youtang was obviously worried about the people in Taiyuan Hospital. Moreover, Taiyuan Hospital had recently been treating people in the palace without much success, which was noticed by Zhu Youtang.
Whenever you get sick, if you rely on the prescriptions prescribed by the Tai Hospital to solve the problem, it is not much different from listening to the witch doctor. It is not that there are no capable people in the Tai Hospital, but the local bureaucracy may be worse than This is a serious problem in any government office in the DPRK. A prescription is not based on the symptoms, but is prescribed based on politics. The subordinates are not qualified to prescribe the prescription and must discuss it together. In the end, a prescription needs to be "total and considered".
This kind of prescription seeks nothing but merit.
It doesn’t seem to be much different from not taking medicine and letting the body resist.
In the past, when there was no Zhang Zhou, the emperor had to rely on this group of people. Even though he repeatedly recruited famous doctors from all over the country as "bright medicine" among the people, most of the doctors could not stand the atmosphere of the palace. , just being a royal doctor makes a fortune, but in the end he has no actual ability or retires on his own, or is squeezed out by others.
To put it bluntly, a doctor who only has medical skills but does not understand politics and has no background cannot survive in Taiyuan Hospital.
If you have good medical skills and you can always cure the patients, then you will not be far away from being squeezed out. Also, you should be careful about other people playing tricks on your medicine, making you unable to take it. .
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Youtang would rather use Ning Tong, who is half-hearted in medical skills, than believe in those so-called famous doctors.
Queen Zhang also came to visit the patient as the Lord of the Sixth Palace.
She has "good intentions".
Empress Zhang must be said to be vicious. In the past, she was mostly relying on favors and pride. Now the emperor's favor is obviously not with her. She also knows what's interesting. In terms of means, she is really not as good as those famous queens or queens in the past dynasties. It is said that Queen Zhang is more like a woman with little knowledge and ability. She has long hair and short knowledge. This is probably what she is like.
"Your Majesty."
After Queen Zhang arrived, she looked very concerned and asked the little eunuch following behind to leave her condolences. < /p>
The implication is, you should stop putting pressure on Concubine Xian.
She is timid and cannot stand your fright.
This also shows that Zhu Youtang "protects his shortcomings". He used to protect the Zhang family, but now he protects the virtuous concubine who is like a weak chicken. This is the protective desire of a strong man. Yes, naturally protect the weaker ones.
In the past, the Zhang family was weak under the strong civil and military pressure of the Manchu Dynasty.
But now
Empress Zhang said, "I don't know what kind of disease the young prince is infected with. If your Majesty has concerns about those imperial doctors, I can ask someone to bring some from outside the palace." "Doctor, come in."
She knew her husband's mentality. Zhu Youtang had said to her more than once that it would be better not to have the doctor treat the disease, or that only common minor illnesses could be treated by them. Well, that's why she suggested this.
The implication is that our Zhang family is still somewhat powerful in the capital and can hire good doctors.
But from what the emperor heard, as a queen, do you want to ask a doctor to treat the son of your love rival, or do you want to ask a private person to treat the disease? Thought
"No need. With Ning Qing's family here, the prince's illness has been greatly improved." Zhu Youtang said.
"Yeah"
Empress Zhang then noticed that there was a woman standing next to her who lowered her head and did not look at her. She looked like a girl with uncombed hair, but she looked like a girl with uncombed hair. The age is different.
"She knows what to say? It's not easy for me to interfere with Marquis Anbian's family affairs." Zhu Youtang said.
When Empress Zhang heard this, she became somewhat aware of the crisis.
She had already heard from her husband about Zhu Feng’s reconciliation with his wife, but she had not taken it seriously before.
But when she saw Ning Tong standing in front of her alive, still serving as a medical officer to treat Concubine Xian's son, she seemed to feel that this was a more dangerous competitor.
Looking at Concubine Xian, she looks like a little sheep. She has no background. She can’t even find any relatives in the family, let alone form a protective shield for her relatives.
As for Ning Tong
He is from a military family. His ancestors were military generals with official rank in the south of the Yangtze River. His father even served as a civil servant, and he was the wife of the Marquis of Anbian who actually took the initiative. Heli, can this be said?There is no big conspiracy behind it
"Ning Tong, a civilian girl, please see the Queen." Ning Tong quickly saluted Queen Zhang.
"Yes." Queen Zhang just nodded, her expression actually showing some vigilance.
Zhu Youtang said with emotion, "Thanks to Ning Qing's family, she learned Bingkuan's true heritage and actually learned a lot of medical skills. This time Bingkuan is not in Beijing, it can be said that it is all up to her to deal with emergencies." "
When Ning Tong heard this, she realized that the more the emperor praised me, the more he was digging holes for me.
Looking at the queen’s face, she seems to want to eat people.
"People's girls just try their best. In fact, people's girls haven't learned anything. Cai Guogong secretly mentioned everything. People's girls have no merit." Ning Tong means that I am just a small person. Those who are controlled by others are not capable of accomplishing such a big thing as His Majesty said.
In other words, this is because Miss Ning does not want to take credit.
What she didn’t know was that Empress Zhang had no opinion on whether she could cure Zhu Houxuan or not, or whether she could cure Zhu Houxuan.
On the contrary, it was her who made Queen Zhang wary.
What she said was suggested by Zhang Zhou, which also shows that Ning Tong has a background behind it. Thinking of Zhang Zhou’s current position in the emperor’s heart, the emperor will listen to whatever he says. If the emperor says, let the emperor He accepted Ning Tong, saying that it would "ward off evil spirits", or the emperor accepted Ning Tong as his concubine without saying a word.
Zhu Youtang said, "You did a good job. Are there any other medicines that you didn't bring?"
Ning Tong said, "There are some left by Cai Guogong." "I haven't brought it yet at home."
Zhu Youtang nodded with satisfaction and said, "There is no need to open another shop in the future. It will be good to just open a medicine shop. I will write a plaque for you personally and I will give it to you again." With your wife's name, you can enter and leave the palace. Just go back and prepare. Maybe you will stay here in the next few days."
, the so-called "madam" is the title given to people who are close to concubines, queen mothers, concubines, etc., or who have been emperors, princes' wet nurses, or women who have made meritorious services in the palace.
But most of them were obtained by palace people.
They are called ladies, but in fact many of them are not married, but some are married.
For example, later Lu Bing's wife, Mrs. Fan, was named Madam after Zhu Houcong ascended the throne because she had a close relationship with the Empress Dowager Chiang in Prince Xing's Mansion and worked as a wet nurse. Another example is that later Wei Zhongxian's relationship with the diners These women with the title of madam are not the emperor's women.
Ning Tong was named "Madam" as a woman outside the palace. In fact, she didn't have much honor. She just got a pass to the palace.
After all, the fact that he had taken care of the pregnant concubine and treated the young prince this time seemed to qualify her for the opportunity to be given the title of "Mrs." even if she is not married.
Ning Tong, guided by Li Rong, wanted to leave the palace.
Li Rong led Ning Tong with another purpose, which was to "protect" Ning Tong.Tong, after all, Ning Tong is also a "little girl", and she will also be a key figure in treating women and children in the palace in the future. She is the link between Zhang Zhou's medical skills and the palace, and she needs the protection of Dongchang and Jinyiwei no matter what.
Even though Li Rong is not the admiral of Dongchang yet, the emperor is ready to hand over Dongchang to him and only waits for Yang Peng to return to Beijing.
Another purpose is to let Li Rong "reward" on his behalf.
"Madam, this way" Li Rong could now legitimately call Ning Tong "Madam".
Even if Ning Tong did not have this status, Li Rong would still treat her with respect.
After all, Ning Tong has a strong background and is endorsed by Zhang Zhou and Zhu Feng. How can she be an ordinary person in the court?
Now there are more virtuous concubines as "best friends", and the emperor It seems that she is still "satisfied" with Ning Tong. It is hard to say when she will become "Concubine Ning", or she will remarry Anbian Hou as his wife, or she will be directly accepted by Zhang Zhou.
Who knows what those three men are thinking
Ning Tong is a woman in a very special situation sandwiched between three men, which creates a big problem .
No one knows what kind of digression this woman will develop into in the future, and I don’t know either.
Even people like Li Rong have to be careful when getting along with her.
When the two passed by the gate of Qianqing Palace.
A group of imperial doctors looked at Li Rong and a woman carrying a box passing in front of them.
The weird atmosphere made the atmosphere at the scene very depressing.
Wang Yu walked up and asked, "Eunuch Li, I don't know that the little prince's condition is stable."
"Everyone, it's hard to answer, so just wait here." Li Rong smiled.
Ning Tong knew the identities of these people. She just wanted to leave quickly, because in this patriarchal society, if a group of imperial doctors knew that she was treating the little prince, there would be certain results. , maybe how to deal with her.
She thinks that she does not have the strength and background of Zhang Zhou now, and she does not have the ability to compete with this group of people.
Relying on the fact that he was an old man in the palace, Liu Wentai stepped forward and continued to ask, "How is the condition? We must let people in lower positions know about it, so that we can compile a prescription."
Li Rong really couldn't listen anymore and frowned and said, "President Liu, I advise you to save your time. With Mrs. Ning here, what's wrong with you? The third prince's condition has stabilized. If you still want to make a prescription, Just think about how to adjust it in the future, but whether His Majesty will adopt it depends on whether Mrs. Ning is willing to accept it."
"Ah"
Liu Wentai was quite satisfied.
Hearing this, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
All the doctors turned their attention to Ning Tong.
This sight of Ning Tong makes me terrified. I, a "little girl", was actually looked at by such a group of big men, and I still looked at her with resentful eyes. I was afraid of death.
"Let Rang"
The biggest difference between Li Rong and Xiao Jing and Dai Yi is that he is very senior in the palace and has been powerful since the Jingtai period. He is an eunuch. In the early years of Chenghua, he served as the eunuch of the ceremonial department. He was not as kind and tolerant as the eunuchs during the Xiaozong period, so he did not consider himself a good person.
Ning Tong followed Li Rong.
A group of imperial doctors were dumbfounded. After they left, they started talking again.
"Have you heard what Eunuch Li called her? Mrs. Ning. There is a family named Ning in the capital who knows how to treat illnesses."
Treating the women and children in the palace, the emperor became seriously ill. It is not impossible to invite a woman from the "Xinglin Family" back from outside the palace while seeking medical treatment.
For this group of imperial doctors, whoever dares to send such a woman into the palace is going to be an enemy of the entire Ming Dynasty’s medical community
Now we all have clues I know it is "Mrs. Ning", which means she is a woman who married into the Ning family. If we don't find this "Ning family", tear up their ancestral graves, and use our hands to knock them down, let's see if they will return in the future. How to hang around in the Xinglin circle
"The Ning family hasn't heard about it."
Liu Wentai thought for a while, looked at Wang Yudao on the side, "Wang Yuan Envoy, have you heard about it?"
Wang Yu thought about it carefully and said, "It seems that in Runing Prefecture, Henan, there is a famous doctor named Ning who treats diseases, but he has never interacted with him. Furthermore, he vaguely heard that there is a wealthy doctor named Ning in Nanchang Prefecture." , it seems that there were also people who practiced medicine."
Because Taiyuan Hospital is responsible for the selection of medical officers in various places, it will register people who practice medicine in various places, but it does not belong to the "medical book", Wang Yu said as The envoy of the academy has also studied the relevant volumes, and only then can he vaguely know something about it.
An imperial doctor surnamed Huang came out and said, "If a woman comes to the palace for treatment, is this going to destroy the job of our imperial hospital?"
"Yes"
< p>A group of imperial doctors were filled with indignation.This reflects the bureaucratic side of Tai Hospital.
For patients we cannot treat, others must not interfere, otherwise it would be putting the cart before the horse.
Anyone who is a doctor should understand this, and should also think about the consequences of doing so when being recruited by the emperor. Therefore, no one will answer the imperial list, so no one will answer it. It's all in the drama.
"Wang Yuanshi, we can't let this matter go so far. We should ask clearly who brought the person in and what his background is. We can't let the people in the hospital suffer the consequences of being dumb."
"This statement is reasonable, and I would like to state to Your Majesty that if anything goes wrong in treating the disease at this time, the consequences will be far-reaching."
"The previous Zhang Shangshu entered the palace to treat the disease. When he was sick, someone seemed to say this, if this person is really capable of making the little prince recover from his illness, shouldn’t we be so taboo about it?"
"Who are you helping?"
Anyone who wants to speak out "just words" will be pushed back directly.
When I arrived at Tai Hospital, I asked forWhen we are consistent with the outside world, the disharmonious voices within nature will be swept away at the same time.
In the end, Zhu Youtang sent someone out for the people from Zhongtai Hospital, and they were sent away casually.
This group of people is naturally unwilling.
Division of labor and collaboration.
Some people went back to check the registers, trying to find people with the surname Ning who knew how to treat illnesses around Beijing.
Wang Yu, as the fifth-rank envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, was also qualified to communicate with the ministers of the DPRK. He took advantage of the sundown time when he was working in various yamen to find him who was "recuperating according to orders". One of the patients, Li Dongyang, who had to seek medicine from Tai Hospital from time to time due to "sick hemorrhoids", wanted to find out some inside information.
Li Dongyang suffered from hemorrhoids, and he used this to request official status many times.
In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the emperor specially gave him medicine and asked people from Tai Hospital to diagnose his illness. In addition, Li Dongyang’s son Li Zhaoxian had suffered from Hualiu disease. Li Dongyang has been with Tai Hospital in recent years. people to deal with.
"Eunuch Li has a high status in the palace. If he always calls me madam, he will definitely be honored." After hearing this, Li Dongyang started talking as if he was chatting.
"That means she is the wife of a high official in the court." Wang Yu was really surprised and looked a little nervous.
In the Ming Dynasty, only the wives of first- and second-grade ministers were qualified to be named "Madam" after nine years of examination. He is a respectful person, the fifth rank is a pleasant person, the sixth rank is an Anren, and the seventh rank or below is a Ruren.
But even if he is a child, he still needs to be canonized by the court.
Except for the head wives, concubines are not eligible for imperial orders, but there are exceptions.
For example, Lin Yi married Zhang Zhou directly with a royal decree. Although he was just a child, there was a big difference in status between those who had a royal decree and those who did not.
"What's your last name?" Li Dongyang asked.
"The surname is Ning." Wang Yu replied, "Ning from Ning Fan in Jiangxi Province."
Li Dongyang frowned slightly, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The Ning family is not mine from China." It’s a common surname, but there are also many people with this surname. I heard that Concubine Xian seemed to have some connection with the daughter of Yi Ning before she entered the palace.”
After all, Li Dongyang was the second assistant, and the emperor accepted the concubine. He has done his best in this matter.
He naturally knew that Concubine Xian was fostered by Ning Tong before entering the palace.
"Who?" Wang Yu almost wanted to say, there are not so many coincidences. If Concubine Xian had a relationship with a woman named Ning before, then if a "Mrs. Ning" suddenly appeared now, it would be her Didn't run away
Li Dongyang said, "The first wife of the second son of Duke Chengguo, who later divorced for unknown reasons, was the former wife of Anbian Marquis Zhu Zhijie. I heard that she was also familiar with Zhang Bingkuan."
"This"
As soon as Wang Yu heard this, her anger was instantly released.
He can no longer afford to offend Zhu Zhijie.
If Zhang Bingkuan still knew her, he would have known her before she entered the palace.The relationship with the woman I know is complicated.
Even if Taiyuan Hospital suffers a loss, it can only suffer as a dumb person. Who can make this group of people, Taiyuan Hospital cannot afford to offend anyone? Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
