Chapter 32 Section VI

When Cao Cao tore the letter from Liu Bei brought by Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao to pieces and threw it on their faces, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty also saw Liu Bei's memorial from Xuzhou in the palace.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was very excited after reading it, and said to Huang Fu: "Uncle Liu Huang sent a memorial from Xuzhou. He has destroyed Yuan Shu, incorporated Yuan Shu's remnants, and has sent two lieutenants Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao sent by Cao Cao to return to Xudu. , he is now leading the army alone to guard Xuzhou. Huang Fu, you sent this memorial at the right time, which added to my joy. Uncle Liu Huang really has a lot of skills. He killed Yuan Shu this time, which is much more convenient than Cao Cao who killed Lu Bu last year. "Huang Fu bowed at the side and complimented him: "The emperor's uncle is full of the emperor's air!" Emperor Xian of Han pinched his fingers and said: "Uncle Liu led 50,000 troops in Xuzhou, and then recruited Yuan Shu's soldiers, at least seven Eighty thousand soldiers and horses, that's great, his soldiers are my soldiers, or I'm just an emperor without soldiers." He walked a few steps, stopped and asked Huang Fu: "How is Concubine Dong's illness, Ji Ping Has the imperial physician called?" Huang Fu said: "The imperial physician Jiping will be here as soon as you speak." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked again: "Let Huang Erxuanguo's uncle Dong Cheng enter the palace. Concubine Dong is ill. It is the reason why he entered the palace." Huang Fu said: "Huang I left early in the morning, and I should be back now."

Just as he was talking, Huang Er hurried in.Huang Fu said: "Huang Er and Huang Er will be here." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked: "Where is Uncle Dong Guo?" He arrived as soon as he spoke, about the front and rear. I am going to the military plane to bring the emperor an urgent 800 miles." He said and handed over a red-painted and sealed letter box.Huang Fu cast a dissatisfied glance at Huang Er.Emperor Xian of the Han unpacked it and opened it, and said with great joy: "Huang Er, the urgent message you brought over is even better than the Liu Bei Shenzou sent by Huang Fu just now." Emperor Xian of the Han shook the urgent secret report in his hand , Said to Huang Fu and the two: "It is reported that Liu Bei has killed Che Zhou, the governor of Xuzhou. Che Zhou was originally a close friend of Cao Cao. This time, it is very obvious that Liu Bei killed Yuan Shu not for Cao Cao but for me. He is now It was openly pulling the flag and someone surnamed Cao did it. The 800-mile express road ran fast, and although Liu Bei's memorial came before and after, it was actually three days after Liu Bei wrote the memorial. Liu Bei killed Yuan Shu only three days later. Killing Che Zhou and openly rebelling against Cao, the progress is quite fast. I do the math again, Liu Bei went to Xuzhou to send 50,000 soldiers, and the remnants of Yuan Shu's army will have 70,000 to 80,000. Now I must have recruited all the soldiers and horses of Che Zhou. There must be 100,000, right?" Huang Fu said: "It must be more than 100,000." Han Xiandi laughed: "That's great, the surname of these more than 100,000 soldiers is Liu, not Cao, and they belong to my Liu family. Home soldiers."

A loud call came from outside the palace gate: "Uncle Dong Cheng, General Cheqi, kowtows to the emperor!" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty immediately ordered: "Uncle Xuan Guo, come in." Before Huang Fu could turn around, Huang Er went to the gate of the hall and said loudly: "Uncle Xuan Guo enters the hall!" Long live, long live!" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had already seated, and raised his hand: "Uncle Guo, let him die." As soon as Dong Cheng got up, Emperor Xian of Han said, "I heard that Uncle Guo has not, Uncle Liu Emperor has destroyed Yuan Shu and incorporated the remnants of Yuan Shu." Dong Cheng Cheng said: "I heard." Emperor Xian of the Han waved his hand to let Huang Fu and others go down, and then said, "I have to rush another eight hundred miles to report that Uncle Liu has killed Che Zhou, the governor of Xuzhou, and surrendered Che Zhou's troops. Ma." Dong Cheng said: "I have a little rumor, but I haven't heard the details yet; I know that Cao Cao is going to the garrison headquarters in the outskirts of Xudu to announce that he will send troops to conquer Xuzhou and attack Liu Bei." Emperor Xian of the Han immediately became nervous: "If that's the case, we will What will happen?" Dong Cheng said: "Your Majesty don't need to worry too much, this is a good thing. Once Cao Cao attacks Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu will definitely go to join Yuan Shao. Once Yuan Shao and Uncle Liu join hands, the threat to Cao Cao will be great." Han Xiandi nodded thoughtfully: "Yes It’s a detour.” Then he looked up at Dong Cheng, “After Uncle Liu and Yuan Shao join forces, they will definitely fight Cao Cao. Once this external battle is fought, the hearts of Cao Ying will be shaken. Your internal response also needs to be stepped up.”

Dong Cheng said: "The minister is thinking hard day and night to seize opportunities." Emperor Xian of the Han said proudly: "Taiwei Yang Biao was forced to go back to the countryside by the Cao thief. I was depressed for a few days. Now one Uncle Liu Huang is better than ten Yang Biao. Uncle Liu Huang told me before he sent troops to Xuzhou that Zheng Kangcheng had warned him Zheng Kangcheng's words are not false. It seems that there will be great changes in the world this year and next." Han Xiandi stood up and took a few steps, then stopped and said: "Dong Concubine's body has changed a little these two days. Not feeling well, I take this opportunity to announce you to the palace in order to cover people's eyes and ears. I originally wanted to plan the political situation with Aiqing, but now I have received such two great news. watch, to see the future.”

At this time, Huang Fu was lying outside the door listening.Huang Er watched Huang Fu from the hidden place behind. The voice of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was heard getting louder and louder: "This time Cao is destroyed, I will no longer allow anyone to monopolize power..." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty stood and walked in the hall, waving his hands and saying excitedly: "I plan to let Liu Huangshu general one-third of the soldiers, Xiliang prefect Ma Teng general one-third of the soldiers, each occupying east and west; Guojiu general one-third of the soldiers, in the middle. , you can serve as Taiwei and command the garrison of the capital. In this way, Liu Bei and Ma Teng restrict each other, and you restrict the two of them. Another post of prime minister can be given to a civil official who has no military power. If you form an alliance with the uncle of the country, you can be the prime minister. In addition, Changshui Xiaowei Zhong Ji and General Zhaoxin Wu Zilan can also control some actual military power, and you, Liu Bei, and Ma Teng will further restrict each other; Zhong Ji and Wu Zilan Under your command, you can control the garrison of the capital and the garrison of the palace respectively. In short, the loyal and righteous people you gather will be promoted and reused in the future for meritorious deeds and rewards. Yilang Wu Shuok can be the prime minister, and Kong Rong is in our There is uncertainty between him and the Cao thief, and he cannot be reused. His Zhongcheng Yushi should be removed. Yilang Zhao Yan is loyal and brave. The censor, the Yilang Wu Shuo just mentioned is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said it vividly, galloping freely, "I proclaimed myself emperor when I was young, and I started from scratch. I can only balance among the heroes and gradually develop power; It is not a tablet that is only for there. Not only must there be the name of the emperor, but also the reality of the emperor. Is there any king in the world, and is there any subject or soldier in the world? Patrol all over the world, I have planned the patrol route." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked forward to it, his voice was out of restraint, and he was not as wary as he used to be.

Dong Cheng looked at the doors and windows with some worry, and finally couldn't help interrupting: "Your Majesty..." He pointed outside the door.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty froze for a moment, then came to his senses, walked to the door and yanked the palace door, Huang Fu bent down and leaned against the door, almost being flashed in.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty shouted: "Huang Fu, are you eavesdropping on my speech?" Huang Fu hurriedly said: "I don't have any." Huang Er came up from the hiding place behind and reported: "My Majesty, Huang Fu has been eavesdropping here for a long time. The slave has been watching him from behind." Huang Fu said: "The slave is waiting for the emperor to finish with the uncle, and wants to report other things. The slave didn't hear what the emperor said." Huang Er immediately said: "I heard it from behind." Han Emperor Xian stared at Huang Er: "Did you hear what I said?" Huang Er said: "I heard the emperor say: Cao will be destroyed in the future, and no one will be allowed to monopolize power. I will also make my uncle a captain. And..." Emperor Han Xian stared and shouted: "Did I say it?" Huang Er panicked, and stammered: "Well..." Huang Fu turned his head and said fiercely: "How dare you talk nonsense!" Emperor Han Xian shouted: "Pull it down, three hundred sticks !" Huang Er kowtowed to the ground begging for mercy.Huang Fu yelled loudly, "Come here!" A few stout eunuchs came up.Huang Fu said: "According to the emperor's order, pull down the stick for three hundred." Huang Er cried, "Your Majesty, I am wronged!" He was pulled down.Huang Fu asked Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty: "My Majesty, do you want him to die or keep him alive? If you want to die, you will die with a 100-stick stick; if you want to live, you will die with a 300-stick stick. Follow the emperor's will." Han Xiandi said: "Let him die and live." Huang Fu said: "The emperor means to let him be disabled?" Han Xiandi was still on fire: "Beat him deaf." Huang Fu said : "Let's be mostly deaf, save some who can hear the sound, so that we won't delay serving the emperor, and don't think about eavesdropping anymore." Han Xiandi waved his hand impatiently: "That's it."

Huang Fu said again: "The imperial doctor Ji Ping has just entered the palace and has seen the doctor of Concubine Dong. He said that it is an occasional cold and it is not a serious problem." Han Xiandi said oh.Huang Fu said in a low voice: "The servant also arranged for him to show Furongmei too. Furongmei has been feeling unwell recently, but unexpectedly she is happy. Congratulations to the emperor." Han Xiandi was stunned: "I have mixed feelings of sorrow and happiness. "Huang Fu still said in a low voice: "The servant knows that if she is happy, she must be given a title. After all, a mother is more expensive than a child; She is not pregnant so far, but Sister Furong took the lead, can they be compatible? The servant knows that the emperor will make trouble for this, so he only has to worry about these matters for the emperor, and stands at the door just to wait for the uncle to leave to report, the emperor is here I didn’t hear a word of what was said in the palace.” Han Xiandi didn’t believe this, so he glanced at him and said, “I believe in you, you are loyal to me.”

Huang Fu asked: "Physician Ji is leaving, will the emperor still see him?" Han Xiandi thought for a while: "See you, uncle Guo and I have talked about the same." Huang Fu turned to arrange.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty entered the palace and said to Dong Cheng: "The imperial physician Ji Ping has already treated Concubine Dong. I will let the imperial physician come to see her. You will be able to visit the palace for a visit." Follow the doctor Ji Ping into the hall.Ji Ping wanted to bow down, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty raised his hand and said to Huang Fu, "Hold him, there is no need to worship him." Huang Fu helped Ji Ping, and said, "The emperor let you rest." Walking around, he said, "Have you seen Concubine Dong?" Before Ji Ping could speak, Huang Fu hurriedly said, "Physician Ji Ping treated Concubine Dong, just like the Empress Dowager last time, without seeing her face or feeling her pulse. Concubine Dong only needs to cough three times across the curtain to prescribe the medicine without any risk." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said: "I remember, you are a unique skill in diagnosis by coughing three times." Ji Ping said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Concubine Dong's health is fine, just take two doses of medicine to recuperate. Uncle Guo, please rest assured. If Your Majesty has nothing else to do here, I will leave. I have to go and see Prime Minister Cao's headache."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty paid attention: "Oh?" Ji Ping said: "Prime Minister Cao has been suffering from this disease for several years. He suffers from it several times a year. The medicine will heal when the medicine arrives, but it is easy to cure but it is difficult to eradicate the root cause." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Dong Cheng looked at each other, as if they both thought of something. Emperor Xian of the Han stood there with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said loudly: "Huang Fu!" Huang Fu said, "The servant is here." Sincerely, it can be rewarded, rewarding a hundred pieces of palace silk, 200,000 yuan, and a jade stick." Huang Fu said: "Receive the decree." Ji Ping knelt down: "Thank you for your generous reward, but I really dare not accept it." .” Han Xiandi was astonished.Dong Cheng said next to him, "Why don't you dare to accept the great kindness of the emperor?" Ji Ping kowtowed and said, "If your majesty still asks your ministers to see a doctor for your majesty, empress, and concubine Dong, it would be better if the emperor's kindness is mediocre." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was even more surprised up.Ji Ping said: "Your Majesty, it is not easy to be an imperial doctor. It is easy to see a doctor for the common people, but it is easy to get rid of the disease; it is difficult to see a doctor for the emperor's relatives and dignitaries, especially for your majesty." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked, "Why?" Ji Ping said: "Emperor physicians are cautious, afraid of making a wrong diagnosis, and dare not prescribe. This is the reason why the so-called emperor's disease is the most difficult to treat since ancient times. The reason why I am still a little better at this task is that there is only one secret. Before and after seeing a doctor, I know it is for the emperor and empress When seeing a doctor, when you are seeing a doctor and prescribing a doctor, you really don’t know that your majesty, empress, and concubine Dong are in front of you. Otherwise, if you have distracting thoughts, you will not be able to prescribe the medicine. Therefore, the more calm your majesty is to your ministers, the more ministers can do your best for your majesty.” Han Xiandi was stunned. After a while, he caught up with the train of thought: "Okay, okay, it makes sense." Ji Ping got up and said, "Prime Minister Cao is well aware of this. Every time he sees a doctor, he says that he is not the prime minister, but just a patient who needs treatment." Say goodbye.

When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty heard Ji Ping's words, he looked at Dong Cheng meaningfully again. Watching the imperial physician Ji Ping leave, he waved Huang Fu back.Before Dong Cheng left, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty urged again: "Uncle Liu Huang's outside line has already started a war, you must step up your inside line here, so as to cooperate with the inside and outside." Dong Cheng said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. We will do everything we can to Cao thief."
