Chapter 125 Ask for relief
Zhuo Ruitong is rarely in a good mood. In addition, he has received the peace of Nie Kong Suzhou and is about to take the military newspapers of the nearby four states one after another, which makes him have a kind of ambition. Therefore, he is not in a hurry to go back to the study to deal with government affairs, but walks leisurely on the path of the palace.
At this time, a palace man looked at the distance and hurried to them. He scrambled for the sharp eyes and hurriedly said to the king of Wei who was walking in front of him, "Oh, isn't that Xirou? Lord, isn't it the Empress Dowager who is looking for you!"
Zhuo Ruitong stopped and looked back at Mei Zheng. He followed his eyes and saw that the palace man was really serving the Empress Dowager Xirou, and he was a little puzzled.
Since Huanying left Baimeiyu's hairpin and left, he annoyed the Empress Dowager Wei for no reason because he asked the Empress Dowager Wei whether there were any inappropriate words in the conversation with Huanying. The Empress Dowager Wei said lightly, "My son is not a mother!" He turned around and took refuge in the bedroom. So far, he has not taken the initiative to invite him into the clean room.
Even if it is a daily salutation, he has to worship outside the door. However, when his mother announces it, this Xirou always comes out and says, "The Empress Dowager's words, the heart of the king of Wei is taken by her, but it is not convenient to meet guests in the clean room. King Wei'd better invite you back!"
Every time he hears this oracle, Zhuo Ruitong feels very uncomfortable. It's just that it's not convenient to meet guests. When did he become a guest? Although she knew that the Empress Dowager was angry with him, the Empress Dowager did not listen to his explanation nor gave her a chance to explain, which made the Empress Dowager Wei, who was really more and more eccentric, have no choice. I don't know why Xirou took the initiative to look for it now?
"The maidservant has seen the Lord Wei and the head of the matter." Xirou saluted first, and then said, "Lord, the Empress Dowager's eye disease has happened again. She can't see the light and always shed tears. Go and have a look!"
"Oh? Are the mother's eyes uncomfortable again? Zhuo Ruitong's happy mood suddenly fell down when he heard the words, "Have you asked the imperial doctor in the palace to see him?"
"I've been diagnosed, but it doesn't seem to have much effect." Xi Judo said, "The empress dowager lost her temper, saying that the newly hired imperial doctors are all quack doctors, and none of them can match Dr. Thistle. She also said that Weijun is remote, and she can't even find a good imperial doctor. Her old bones..." Xirou seemed to feel that the following words were more taboo and said I don't dare to go on.
Zhuo Ruitong was bored for a while and said, "The Empress Dowager's eyes are uncomfortable, and she is naturally in a bad mood. Don't spread some angry words. Let's go and take me to have a look first."
"Since the mother's eyes are uncomfortable, why is she still burning incense and praying for Buddha?" As soon as he stepped into the clean room, Zhuo Ruitong couldn't help frowning and said that the whole clean room was not spacious. Although the windows had been opened on all sides for ventilation, it still felt a very heavy smell of incense. The Buddha niche was two meters long, thicker than the four fingers together spitting green smoke, and the thick incense wax of the mouth of the bowl was also burning for a long time, such as In this situation, how can the Empress Dowager Wei's eye disease be good? I'm afraid it's not only bad, but also worsening.
"Why don't you persuade the Empress Dowager to rest more, but work hard here?" Zhuo Ruitong was inevitably blamed by the three palace people, including Xirou. Although he also knew that the palace people were not to blame for this matter. Most of them were caused by the Empress Dowager's stubbornness and opinions, but when he entered the clean room, the Empress Dowager still turned to the Buddha and ignored him, so he had to scold the palace people to attract the attention of the Empress Dowager.
The palace people did not dare to squeak. Only Xi Rou shook their heads at him with a bitter face, and motioned Zhuo Ruitong to persuade the empress dowager with his eyes.
Zhuo Ruitong had no choice but to slowly approach the empress dowager and knelt down next to the empress dowager. On his side, he saw that the empress dowager was closing her eyes slightly, her hands were in front of her chest, and a string of Buddha beads hanging between her fingers flashing with a bright luster, and her mouth seemed to have words.
"Mother, I will help you go back to rest. It's not a matter of a day or two to recite Buddhist scriptures. When your eyes get better, it's not too late to participate!" Zhuo Ruitong advised warmly.
The Empress Dowager Wei still ignored him, and the silence in the room suddenly made Zhuo Ruitong, the palace people behind him and Mei Zheng, who followed him, into embarrassment and embarrasment.
Zhuo Ruitong thought for a moment and said, "Well, since the mother refuses to go back to the house to rest, the minister there will worship the Buddha with her here. When the mother is tired and wants to rest. The minister will deal with his own affairs again. Before that, it has nothing to do with the minister. For the minister, It's because the sky has fallen and it's not as bad as my mother's illness, which makes my son more worried.
What they said made Mei Zheng and Xi Rou stunned. With their understanding of Wei Wang, it is clear that Wei Wang is stubborn, and the nine cows can't pull back. This is really a mother and a son. It seems that how this play should end really depends on the Empress Dowager Wei.
After saying that, Zhuo Ruitong knelt down straight and put his hands together like the Empress Dowager. His eyes were slightly closed, and the people behind him did not dare to say a word.
I don't know how long it took. Suddenly, I heard that the Empress Dowager Wei said leisurely, "You can retreat first. Ai Jia and Wei Wang have something to say!"
When Mei Zheng and Xi Rou heard the words, they were pardoned. They quickly panicked out of the clean room and closed the door.
"Is the mother finally willing to take care of her son?" Zhuo Ruitong opened his eyes, put down his hands, and turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager Wei.
"My family has never ignored you!" The Empress Dowager Wei still closed her eyes slightly, but her face was already facing Zhuo Ruitong. I guess it was an eye disease that made her unable to open her eyes.
Zhuo Ruitong came close and looked at the empress dowager's eyes carefully and sighed, "The mother's eye disease this time is really serious. Why don't you bring up Ji Yuguang and let him diagnose and treat the mother? After being imprisoned for so long, he has already had a painful performance. Now all kinds of drugs needed in the army are still his own formula. After trying to be non-toxic and harmless, I promoted it. However, I didn't expect that the eye disease of the mother's queen was so serious, and I was also worried that Ji Yuguang would take the opportunity to endanger the safety of the mother, so I didn't dare to release it from the prison.
"Oc's it, I know!" The Empress Dowager Wei said lightly, "I know how the eye disease of the mourning family is. I always commit it once or twice a year, and it will be better after a period of time. It's just caused by physical deficiency and fire or accumulated labor. You don't have to worry, but do you know why the mourning family has a disease, but you still have to burn incense and pray for Buddha every day?"
Zhuo Ruitong pondered, "The mother is worried about her son."
"As long as you understand!" The Empress Dowager Wei sighed and said, "I heard that the war in both aspects is progressing smoothly now, but have you ever thought that Lou Xun will eventually be destroyed by Wu Wei. How should you deal with the King of Wu at that time?"
"It turned out that the mother was worried about this. To be honest, I don't know what to do now. I can only take one step and wait until Lou Xun is kicked out of the palace," Zhuo Ruitong replied truthfully.
"Tong'er, my family is just worried. You have worked hard for a long time, and in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty. Maybe you will fall into a desperate place like your brother!"
"I won't be the mother!" Speaking of Yuancan, Zhuo Ruitong was also particularly sad, because until now, the people he sent did not find Zhuo Yuancan. Yuancan, who had never suffered much, was really unimaginable. The most important thing was that Yuancan didn't believe him and couldn't come to him, the third brother.
"If Yuan Le dares to attack our Weijun first, it is his first failure, and I will never bear it silently. I am bound to fight with him to the end!" Zhuo Ruitong replied in a low voice, but there was indescribable helplessness and bitterness in his heart. He was afraid that Zhuo Yuanle would eventually become a climate. At that time, he would dominate the world, and he would compete with it again in a corner of Wei County, which was tantamount to hitting a stone.
The Empress Dowager Wei seemed to hear something. After a while, she said, "I have a plan. I don't know if you want to hear it?"
"Oh? Mother, please tell me!" Zhuo Ruitong said in a hurry.
"Recombine Ying back, ignore Bei Rong for the time being, and let her do Nie Kong's response to ensure that the city we have captured will not be invaded by the King of Wu!" The Empress Dowager Wei said lightly, "I heard that the king of Wu is not a good woman, otherwise, I would let Huanying go to the State of Wu to have a try."
"Queen Mother, what are you talking about!" Zhuo Ruitong couldn't help frowning again when he heard the words. "Rejecting that Beirong is to ensure that the rear of Weijun will not be attacked by Fu Li, and also to ensure the peace of the border, whether he can withdraw from Huanying depends on the situation of their expedition. As for pleasing women, the mother should not mention it again. Even if he is not talented, he is unwilling to do that kind of thing. A despicable and shameless villain.
"Bei Rong is a wolf and tiger in the north, but compared with your world, it is more important to focus on dealing with the King of Wu than to deal with Bei Rong. Weijun was attacked. At worst, the Wei Palace will take this opportunity to move the palace. But once the world is captured by Zhuo Yuanle, you and my son will not even have a place to stand!" The Empress Dowager Wei was quite unhappy and said, "Every time you mention Huanling, you can't do it like this or that. You don't do anything to her. You're worried."
"Mother queen, I'm not in a hurry. I'm just analyzing things with my mother!" Zhuo Ruitong said helplessly, "Whether it is the dispute with Yuanle or with Lou Xun, it is an internal decision of my dynasty. But once Beirong is put in, I don't know how much suffering will be suffered by the people of the Central Plains. After my mother, I know that you are also thinking about my son, but there is always something that can be done. I know it. Don't worry too much."
The Empress Dowager Wei was silent, her face was full of disappointment, and finally said, "Well, since you know it, it is not easy for the mourning family to interfere in government affairs. The mourning family is not a person who does not know the great righteousness, but I'm afraid that you will regret it later one day. Isn't Yuan Can an example? And there is another layer of worry in my family. I think you don't want to listen to it.
"What else is the mother's mother worried about? The mother's words have never been unwilling to listen to!" Zhuo Ruitong was depressed and panicked, but due to the affection between mother and son, he had to persuade him gently.
