Song Yi

Chapter 393

Du Wenhao held the imperial decree in his hand, stood in the middle, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, Ma Quanyong and Shi Yuan did not have the Privy Council to mobilize troops, and they mobilized the army without permission. The commander participated in the uprising, and has been detained and sent to prison, waiting to be dealt with. The empress dowager ordered me to concurrently serve as the commander of the horse army and the infantry army. If anyone resists the order, please come out!"

Naturally, no one came out in the field. Who among these junior officers would disobey orders for such a thing?They knew very well in their hearts that Ma Quanyong and Shi Yuan were just scapegoats for the two princes who were trying to fight for the throne. For such a big matter, they must find two scapegoats to make an example.For these low-level officers, as long as they obey orders honestly, the officers still have to do their jobs, and the head on their necks is even more secure.

Du Wenhao said: "Well, the generals of the horse army and the infantry army will line up according to their respective battalions!"

These generals are all well-trained, and they quickly formed a column.

Du Wenhao took out a list and read aloud: "Next, I will appoint the new deputy commanders of the horse army and the infantry, the list of the new commanders of Du Yuhou and the battalions!—Where is Xu San?!"

The guard next to him came out with one person, and it was the guard who followed Du Wenhao to fight against the Tubo army and then followed him all the way to the doctor.He knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists to obey orders.

"I appoint you as the deputy capital commander of the Ma Jun!"

"The last general takes orders, thank you, my lord!"

Xu San thanked him and stood aside.

"Where is Wang Dingli?"

Another Du Wenhao's bodyguard came out, knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists to salute: "The end is here!"

"I appoint you as the deputy capital commander of the infantry!"

"The last general takes orders! Thank you, my lord!"

Next, the list announced by Du Wenhao, among them, the deputy capital commanders of the horse army and the infantry army and some of the capital Yuhou were served by his dozen or so guards who accompanied him on medical tours.The rest of the candidates were also generals who fought bloody battles with him among the five thousand imperial troops that he led in the Western Expedition.

These people had a deep affection for Du Wenhao, and they didn't expect that the first thing Du Wenhao would do when he came back was to be promoted to their official positions, and they were all very grateful.Each stood at the forefront of each battalion.

After this adjustment, Du Wenhao replaced all the generals and officers of the horse army and infantry battalion commanders with his own people. The original officials were those who were detained by Du Wenhao before. These are almost the two princes. His confidant will naturally have to be replaced.

After the appointment, Du Wenhao ordered: "The Horse Army Cloud Cavalry Army and the Wu Cavalry Army are respectively responsible for the city defense of the North City and the South City, as well as the task of patrolling the streets. The rest of the battalions should immediately return to the warning point and bring back all the soldiers under their jurisdiction. In the barracks, knives and guns are stored, and horses are returned to the stables. Except for the guards on duty, all soldiers are not allowed to carry any weapons, and without the order of the officer, it is strictly forbidden to take a step out of the barracks, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"

All the soldiers agreed in unison.Then follow their trusted commanders to line up and leave.

Then, Du Wenhao flew on his horse, took Lin Qingdai, and the new Deputy Capital Commander and Du Yuhou to inspect various places.

In less than an hour, all the cavalry and infantry troops deployed by King Yong at various key points in the city withdrew to their respective barracks, and the gates of the barracks were closed tightly. Du Wenhao's new commander led the guards to patrol around.

Part of the Cloud Cavalry Army and the Wu Cavalry Army guarded Sicheng City Gate, and the patrol team patrolled the streets in an orderly manner.The entire capital is in order.

Du Wenhao was relieved.But he didn't dare to slack off, and patrolled the whole city all night until dawn.

When the people of the capital woke up, they found that there were far fewer soldiers all over the streets. Except for the soldiers on duty at the crossroads and a few teams of cavalry in bright armor patrolling the streets, the large groups of people squatting everywhere were gone.

The Empress Dowager's bedroom.

After hearing Du Wenhao's story, the Empress Dowager let out a long sigh of relief: "That's good! Wen Hao, you are still able to handle the matter! This matter has been handled extremely properly, so I can rest assured."

Du Wenhao laughed and said: "Yes, now that the two princes don't have the army in their hands, and the sixth prince also doesn't have the support of the army, the empress dowager can calmly discuss with the ministers how to inherit the throne."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her face became a little unnatural again. After a moment of hesitation, she asked in a low voice, "What do you mean? Is it better for someone to inherit the throne?"

In Du Wenhao's heart, he must be willing to let the sixth prince inherit, even though he is now the supreme commander of the three yamen of the front guard, horse army and infantry, and the whole country's army is under the command of these three yamen, in fact he At this moment, he is already the highest military commander in the country, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, but he has already offended King Yong. If King Yong becomes emperor, he will still be in trouble.Therefore, it is best for King Yong not to be emperor.

But Du Wenhao couldn't say these words. He publicized everywhere outside that he was sure that the empress dowager could only succeed to the throne.

Now that he holds the military power in his hand, backed by the empress dowager, he is not too afraid of King Yong being the emperor.Because he has already figured out how to deal with it. If he really comes to this point, he must not let go of the military power in his hands. He must use the empress dowager to fight against the Emperor Yong Wang. He will never hand over the military power. Safety.Once it is discovered that King Yong has intentions that are not good for him, he will launch a military coup to overthrow King Yong, and then support a puppet emperor.At that time, it was not impossible to take the emperor to make the princes, and to be the hero Cao Cao for a while.

What urgently needs to be resolved now is the issue of the right to deploy troops. The military system of the Song Dynasty was that the Sanya was in charge of leading the military, and the Privy Council was in charge of the military deployment. Now that the right to deploy troops is not in hand, it is still a hidden danger. This matter must be resolved before King Yong inherits the throne.Now it seems that the empress dowager has not completely given up the idea of ​​making her son the emperor, and cannot put all the treasure on the empress dowager.Fortunately, the transfer of the guards in front of the palace does not require the transfer of troops.As long as this last magic weapon is in hand, I am not afraid.Of course, it is best to control the right to deploy troops.

So Du Wenhao smiled lightly and asked, "I wonder how you plan to organize the ministers to discuss the succession of the throne?"

"I've thought about this. Let's organize the chief executives to discuss it first. If they agree, it will be decided. If they disagree, then expand the scope of the discussion. I hope you can participate at that time. I feel relieved with you."

Du Wenhao shook his head and said: "I can't participate. Taotao, don't forget, my highest official position is only the commander of the front office of the palace, not the chief minister. I have no right to participate in such a core secret meeting. Unless I am also an envoy of the Privy Council, to participate."

Du Wenhao obviously hoped that the empress dowager would appoint him as an envoy of the Privy Council. However, the empress dowager is not a girl who has fallen in love for the first time. Conception clearly poses a threat to imperial power.

So Du Wenhao's words made the empress dowager stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice apologetically: "This..., the right to lead troops and the right to dispatch troops must be separated. This is the rule set by the emperor Taizu, and it has never been changed, so I... ..."

Du Wenhao was just talking casually, he didn't expect the empress dowager to break this rule, even if the empress dowager made an order, the gang of admonishers at Yushitai are not vegetarians, and there must be a catastrophe.Because in this way, his military power will not be restrained in any way, which will inevitably arouse the vigilance and dissatisfaction of members of the royal family and the ruling and opposition parties.He can fully understand what the Empress Dowager said.

Du Wenhao sat down beside her, held her soft hand, and said in a low voice: "I understand, I just said it in passing."

The empress dowager smiled apologetically: "I know your worry, but you are still afraid that if Hao'er ascends the throne, he will make trouble for you."

"Yeah, I'm afraid that Prince Yong will use the Privy Council to deal with me in the future, this time he can mobilize the horse army and infantry, so he must have a good relationship with the Privy Council.

"Well, the privy envoy Han Zhen is closer to Hao'er. This time Hao'er transferred troops, he should have played a role. Regardless of whether Hao'er can inherit the throne, Han Zhen must adjust, and he cannot be allowed to become Hao'er." It is a tool to punish you. I will adjust this position, um..., let Wang Gui serve as a privy envoy, he supports the Six Emperors and grandsons, and will not help Haoer to punish you."

Du Wenhao was overjoyed, since he could not be the leader and dispatcher of troops, as long as King Yong did not control the Privy Council, there would be little danger to him.But he continued to say with a bitter face: "Then what if King Yong becomes the emperor? He still has to replace Wang Gui again. It's normal for me to be removed from office."

The empress dowager smiled: "If all the ministers decide to let Hao'er inherit the throne, wouldn't there be me? I will ask him in advance to promise that he will never adjust the three yamen and the privy secretaries in the future. Are you relieved now?"

Of course Du Wenhao would not believe that King Yong would listen to the Empress Dowager after he ascended the throne in the future, but he was already very satisfied and grateful that the Empress Dowager could say that.

The empress dowager said: "You can join me in the discussion of succession to the throne. I will explain clearly to Hao'er that everything you do is accounted for by me and has nothing to do with you. Let him not hate you."

After Du Wenhao heard this, he knew that the Empress Dowager still had some intentions to let King Yong inherit the throne. Although he wanted the sixth prince to inherit the throne, Du Wenhao keenly felt that at this time, he could not directly persuade her to let the sixth prince inherit the throne. It would be counterproductive , So I took advance as retreat, and said: "I still won't participate in the discussion of the succession of the throne, because you have given me all the leadership of the three yamen, I am afraid that it has aroused suspicion, and my opinion will definitely influence the chief executives." Opinions, it’s not appropriate to spread them like that. Let them fully express their opinions.”

The empress dowager tried to smile: "But, if you're not here, I really don't know what to do about it."

Du Wenhao said: "I guess they will definitely quarrel, and they won't reach a compromise so quickly. How about this, you listen to their quarrel first, don't rush to express your position, and we will discuss it when you come back."

The empress dowager nodded: "Okay then. Would you like to chat with me for a while?"

"There's a lot to do now."

"If I say it's okay, it's okay. If you tell me a story, I'm bored!"

"Eh..." Hearing the empress dowager acting like a baby, Du Wenhao's head went black, "Okay then, what story do you want to tell?"

"Of course it's the story of your practice of medicine. I want to tell you in detail, especially medical theory. I want to hear it. I'm also reading medical books now."

Du Wenhao wondered: "Really? Well, let me tell you a story about a woman who was in the same grade as you. Once, I saw a doctor for a woman. Pain in the metacarpophalangeal joints when cooking and doing housework. I didn’t notice it at first, but the symptoms became more severe after winter, and the duration of the pain gradually increased after touching cold water, and the pain gradually spread to the forearm. When the weather was cold in the past, only four Symptoms of hypothermia, and now there are also cold fingers and forearm pain. I asked the doctor to check, but they said there was nothing wrong, but the patient was worried about it."

The Empress Dowager asked, "What are her symptoms?"

"Joint pain, fingers swollen in the morning, improved after exercise. The patient's complexion was blue, the eye sockets were blue, the face was swollen, the menstrual flow was less, the color was normal, and a small amount of blood clots were caught. The medicine was adjusted, and the work and housework were more tiring. "

"How's her tongue?" The Empress Dowager asked seriously.

Du Wenhao continued: "The tongue is red and dark, the tongue is fat and thick, the tongue coating is white, the pulse is deep and thready, and the feet are weak. What do you think should be the symptoms?"

The empress dowager thought for a while: "Painful numbness?"

Du Wenhao picked up his thumb and praised: "It's amazing! It's indeed pain and numbness. She has yang deficiency and liver cold, poor qi and blood, and blockage of meridians. Let's test you again, how should you treat it?"

"I don't know about this. If I knew, wouldn't I become a doctor? Tell me."

"Okay, this kind of syndrome requires warming the yang and warming the liver, regulating qi and blood, and dredging the meridians. The prescription uses Danggui Sini Decoction to add flavor. The ingredients are Chuanfu Tablets, Baishao, Bergamot, Chuanshao, Chaoxiangfu, and Chaoshou. Artemisia argyi, Shenjincao, Asarum, Spatholobus Spatholobus, Zhilicorice. Five doses in total, take for seven days. Do not eat raw or cold, be careful of wind and cold."

"Does that work?"

"There are some effects. The swollen fingers in the morning have been improved, and there are more arrows. The effect is not changed, and Dipsacus, Eucommia, and Cuscuta are added. After taking another five doses, all symptoms are relieved. Menstruation is at the end. Ask about the past. The ex-partners have distending pain in the breasts and discomfort in the waist glue. Recently, the breasts have been aching. Considering that menstruation is coming soon, I added motherwort and salvia miltiorrhiza, and added five more doses, telling menstruation that there is no need to stop the medicine."

"Did it work this time?"

"The effect is better. The dark blood clots in the menstrual flow were normal in the first two days, and then decreased, and the five days were clear. The menstruation returned, and the patient was very happy. The swelling in the hand has been greatly relieved, and the pain in the fingers has not occurred. Others feel Her complexion improved and became shiny, and she no longer felt vain. She thought she had obtained some kind of elixir for skin care, and she was very happy while talking. After that, she used Fuzi Evodia Danggui Sini Decoction to dispel wind-dampness, clear the meridian, and benefit the kidney. After two months of treatment with Tiao Chong Zhi, the condition was finally healed."

The Empress Dowager said happily: "That's great. I like to hear about your cure. Tell me about this medical case. How did you treat it based on syndrome differentiation? I'll learn from it too."

Du Wenhao glanced at her slyly: "Do you really want to listen?"

"Yes!"

Du Wenhao nodded and said: "The patient said that he has always been in good health, and he usually likes to wear skirts and short clothes, even in winter. That year, after autumn, he gradually developed numbness in his fingers and gradually developed to his upper limbs. This is an external attack of cold evil. "Huangdi Neijing" says "there is a time to avoid deficiency and evil, and it is time to avoid it." The patient does not know how to maintain health, and the weather is cold and improperly dressed. The body consumes Weiyang to keep out the cold. "

""Qin Wen Qi Tongtian Theory" says: "For those with yang energy, if the sky and the sun lose their place, their lifespan will be shortened." Therefore, the above symptoms appear. The tongue is dark, the tongue is fat, and there are Tooth marks are signs of yang deficiency and damp resistance; white tongue coating is turbidity and internal stagnation; deep and stringy pulse, weak feet, dull bread, blue eye sockets, insufficient life fire due to yang deficiency, liver loss and temperature rise, Qi and blood cannot ascend to the face; anxious personality is the manifestation of liver stagnation; thick veins under the tongue, swollen face, and swollen limbs are symptoms of poor blood circulation."

The empress dowager began to frown because she couldn't understand.

Du Wenhao went on to say: "Although the patient's diet is acceptable, after careful questioning, I know that he likes to eat spicy food, accompanied by the symptoms of white moss, insufficient spleen yang, damp and turbid internal cocoons can be judged." "Su Wen · "Tiao Jing Lun" says: "The cold accumulates in the chest without diarrhea. If it does not diarrhea, the temperature will go away. If the cold stays alone, the blood will coagulate and weep. If it coagulates, the pulse will not flow. The pulse is strong and astringent, so it is cold." Although the patient suffers from arthralgia syndrome Seek a doctor, but Han Ning means that the pulse is blocked, and the pulse is strong and astringent, so it is cold."

The empress dowager frowned even tighter. She wanted to speak a few times but held back, and continued to listen.
