The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 546

"How is the condition of the empress dowager, and if there is any serious problem, tell me quickly." Zhao Kuangyin also respected his mother quite a lot.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be very obedient to my mother. Although there is an aspect of filial piety, there is more respect.

"Your Majesty and my ministers don't think there is anything serious about the Empress Dowager, but she is out of breath. Now that Mr. Sun is undergoing diagnosis and treatment inside, it should be no problem for me to rely on his medical skills."

A large group of imperial physicians respectfully said that they are more nervous than ever now, if something happens to the queen mother, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not vent his anger on them.

They also couldn't guarantee this matter, and besides, the envoy of the Tai Hospital was still at home on vacation recently, which made them even more anxious.

At this time, the emperor and the prince came, and Sun Liuming also followed, so they would be more confident.

"Father, don't worry that Miracle Doctor Sun is inside. There shouldn't be anything wrong. It's a trivial matter for him. You'd better sit down and rest for a while."

Seeing this, Zhao Xu also advised Zhao Kuangyin to take a break, but Zhao Kuangyin was not in the mood either. His younger brother was arrested for treason just now, and his mother fell down.

This made him unable to calm down, and at this moment, two underdogs ran over.

"Father, father!"

These two little guys are Zhao Xu's youngest, Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Delin. These two little guys really haven't seen their father for more than a month.

Seeing them coming here, Zhao Kuangyin also showed a slight smile on his face, this is a child who is connected with his blood.

"Father, I miss you so much, but Uncle Wang's people don't let me see you, saying that you are sick, so they don't let us see you."

Zhao Dezhao said in a childish voice, Zhao Delin was also not to be outdone:

"Uncle Wang said that if we are not obedient, we will be made into human pigs. Father, what is a human pig?"

The corner of Zhao Kuangyin's mouth twitched fiercely, Zhao Guangyi dared to say that, human pig, making a child into a human pig.

Renzhu refers to a torture that turns people into pigs. It has a long history. The main method is to chop off limbs, goug out eyes, inject copper into ears, and make them deaf.

This is not to mention that immediately after that, a drug will be poured into the throat to cut off the tongue, destroy the vocal cords, and make him unable to speak.

What is even more cruel is to cut off the nose, shave the head, shave off the eyebrows and hair, and then apply a special potion to never grow hair again.

There are a total of two such punishments that are relatively famous in history. One is that in the early Western Han Dynasty, Empress Lu treated Madam Qi and made her into a human pig.

In addition, Wu Zetian of the previous dynasty made her old rivals Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao into human pigs.

Zhao Kuangyin's hands were clenched tightly, his nails had sunk into the flesh, Guangyi actually said this to his child.

It's not that Zhao Kuangyin doesn't think that Zhao Guangyi is joking, this younger brother has been narrow-minded since he was a child.

Some of the things he said were basically done hard. Once Zhao Guangyi said that he would burn down a house across the street.

Because a dog in the house used to bark at him, no one cared, but one night, the house really burned down.

No one would have thought that what a child said would come true, this Zhao Guangyi is really temperamental.

Zhao Kuangyin knew that Zhao Guangyi didn't talk about it, maybe he would really do this in the future, and he was able to deal such a cruel hand to his nephew.

"Father, your hand is bleeding." Zhao Delin was a bit older after all, and when he saw Zhao Kuangyin's hand bleeding, he yelled.

"Your Majesty." Upon hearing this, several imperial physicians rushed over to bandage up.

"I'm fine, it's just that I did it accidentally. Lin'er, Zhao'er, go play with your mother and queen. Father still has things to deal with."

"Lin'er, you two come to my elder brother. I will take you to see your little nephew later, okay?" Zhao Xu looked at his two younger brothers with a smile.

"Really, brother, I'm going to see my little nephew. They still laugh when they see me. Unfortunately, Gui Ying's sister-in-law won't let me hug them, saying that I'm too young. But he has grown up."

Zhao Delin looked like a young adult, making everyone laugh.

"Well, our Lin'er has grown up, and I'll let someone take you to see them later. Now the father and brother have something to talk about, so you go and play first."

"The elder brother must mean what he says, so let Dezhao go and play." Children are always carefree.

At this time, Sun Liuming came out:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty just had a diagnosis and treatment for the Empress Dowager. There is nothing wrong with it. I am just out of breath. It will be fine after a period of recuperation. Now, I will go down and prescribe a prescription for the Empress Dowager's phoenix body to recuperate."

Sun Liuming's words seemed to give Zhao Kuangyin a reassurance, that is to say, there was nothing serious about the queen mother.

"The empress dowager invites you and the prince to go in. She said she has something to say to you." A little maid hurriedly ran over and said.

Zhao's father and son looked at each other, and then walked in directly. It seemed that the queen mother wanted to say something to them.

"How are you, queen mother (grandma)?" Both father and son were very concerned about the old man on the bed.

"You all go out, I want to talk to the emperor and the prince, no one is allowed outside the door, no one is allowed to come in, go out."

Although Empress Dowager Du is a little weak now, her servants have retreated submissively due to her years of accumulating power.

"Xu'er, come here and let grandma take a look. Grandma hasn't seen you for a long time. Guangyi even told me that you were dead. It seems that he is lying to me."

Empress Dowager Du's expression seemed very downcast:
"Kuangyin, are you okay? Well, I don't know what to say now." She also knew about Zhao Kuangyin's comatose sleeping. At the beginning, he heard Zhao Guangyi say that Zhao Xu suffered a tragic accident outside, and she still wanted to let him go. What about Zhao Guangyi as emperor?

"Kuangyin, I already know what happened. I didn't expect Guangyi to do this, but I want you to spare his life."

What Empress Dowager Du thought was that she could treat Zhao Guangyi's incident this time as an internal matter of her own Zhao family.

It is a younger brother who wants to compete for the position of the elder brother. Now that the elder brother has nothing to do, then the elder brother must punish the younger brother.

Beating and scolding are fine, this is my brother's right, but Queen Mother Du heard that Zhao Guangyi was put in death row, which is a bit inappropriate.

"Kuangyin, you are the emperor, it's not just a matter of a word, you can spare Guangyi's life, you must know that we are a family, the law is nothing more than human feelings, at home, love is greater than the law."

It seems that Empress Dowager Du also likes this son very much, otherwise she would not have said such a thing.
