: Rise

The Empress Dowager's words have reached this point. What else can Du Wenhao choose? He took a step forward with a bitter face and bowed, "Thank you, thank you for your kindness, little one, little one is willing to follow the Lord Lady, and never refuse to die!"

The Empress Dowager showed a smile on her face: "Well, that's right. Don't worry, the Ai family will not make things difficult for you. The Ai family also knows that you are a big man responsible for treating the concubines in the harem. There may be something wrong with it. Therefore, the Ai family will ask Xia Jiupo, the Imperial Hospital Imperial Hospital Imperial Hospital Imperial Hospital Imperial Hospital Imperial College, and she will come forward to report the results to you. Xia Jiupo is from the Ai family. This person is loyal, lacks ability, and is not very good at thinking. You should give more guidance to her in everything."

"Yes!" Du Wenhao then breathed a little relieved: "Thank you for your ancestors' observation."

"In addition to the extra breast-being habit, the concubines also have some inexplicable illnesses. The Ai family is worried that Wang Anshi is secretly making trouble. You have to find out the truth for the Ai family and maintain the peace of the harem!"

"Yes, I will follow the decree of Lafayette!"

The Empress Dowager stared at Du Wenhao for a moment, then nodded slowly, clapped his palms, and an old eunuch came in outside the house, staggering, holding a whisk in his hand, and bowed. The Empress Dowager asked him to send Du Wenhao out.

Du Wenhao glanced at the old eunuch, but he was an acquaintance. Last time, Wei Linger, the daughter of Wei An, the chief minister of the front hall, was sick and was hospitalized in Wuweitang. The Empress Dowager sent the old eunuch to visit Wei Linger and gave Du Wenhao's family a lot of silk and satin. I remember that the old eunuch's surname was Jiao.

Following Eunuch Jiao coming out of the palace, Du Wenhao realized that his back was soaked with cold sweat. He looked up and thought about it, but he didn't know whether this was a disaster or a blessing.

After returning home, Pang Yuqin and others felt relieved. When asked about the story, Du Wenhao only said that the Empress Dowager wanted to promote herself to the hospital verdict of the Imperial Hospital. As for the reason, he just stammered for a few words and did not dare to explain in detail.

Pang Yuqin and others were very happy when they heard this. Only Lin Qingdai was careful and found that Du Wenhao looked a little dazed and asked him quietly in private, but this matter was of great importance. Du Wenhao really didn't dare to say it randomly, but just smiled and said it was okay.

The next day, just after the pharmacy opened, two fast horses rushed over. The two eunuchs in the palace turned over and got out of their horses and rushed in. Please see Du Wenhao and report: "The imperial edict will arrive immediately! Mr. Du, please bring his wife to set up an incense case to prepare for the imperial edict!"

The Du family suddenly panicked, and did not expect the imperial edict to come so quickly. Fortunately, Pang Yuqin was careful and had already ordered the incense table to prepare. She and Du Wenhao had changed their clothes and had no time to take a shower. She ordered the servants to open the main entrance of Tianshui Lane. Du Wenhao brought Pang Yuqin to the door and bowed and waited quietly. Lin Qingdai and others avoided the two sides.

After a while, more than a dozen palace guards were guarding a four-person sedan chair and fooling him. Two little eunuchs on both sides were serving him and stopped at the main entrance. The little eunuch lifted up the curtain of the tent and helped an old eunuch out from inside.

The old eunuch is too old, his face is full of pleats and his eyes are hard to tell wherever he is. He holds a golden scroll in his arms. With the help of the eunuch, he sways over and says with a sharp voice: "Where is Mr. Du Wenhao?"

Du Wenhao recognized at a glance that this father-in-law was the old eunuch Jiao who sent him out of the palace yesterday. He couldn't help but feel moved, and hurried forward and bowed to salute: "The young Du Wenhao, take the Jing Pangzi to meet Eunuch Jiao!"

Pang Yuqin also hurriedly stepped forward, stood half a foot behind his husband, and bowed his head and bowed his blessing.

"Well, have the incense table ever been decorated?"

"Report to my father-in-law, it has been put down."

"Then go in and receive the order!"

Du Wenhao and his wife led Eunuch Jiao to the main hall where the incense table had been set up. Eunuch Jiao stood in a swaying place and said, "Let Du Wenhao, professor of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and his wife Pang Shi, kneel down to receive the order!"

Du Wenhao and Pang Yuqin hurriedly lifted their robes and knelt down.

Eunuch Jiao spread the golden sunflower ebony shaft in his arms, shook his head and chanted with a sharp voice, "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered: Now the Empress Dowager and others were suffering from illness, and the doctors were hiding their hands. My heart was burned, and I was abandoned by sleeping and eating. I heard that Du Wenhao, Dongda County, Dongda County, Dongfu, was suspended to save the world, Qihuang passed on fire, benevolent and kind, and taught people tirelessly. Mrs. Pang Shi Yuqin, virtuous and virtuous, was promoted to Du Wenhao as a judge of the Imperial Hospital, and was given purple-robed goldfish bags, and served as a doctor in the harem. He was awarded a sixth-rank lady of Pang Shi Yuqin. He was awarded one hundred taels of gold, one hu of pearls, three pieces of colorful clothes, and a hundred pieces of brocade. I admire this. Thank you!"

Du Wenhao and Pang Yuqin shouted long live, and after thanking each other, they stood up and respectfully accepted the imperial edict.

Eunuch Jiao smiled and said, "Congratulations to Lord Du for his promotion! Lord Du has never been a professor in the Imperial Medical Bureau and has been promoted directly to the sixth-rank Imperial Hospital. It can be said that he has risen to the top, which shows that the emperor's grace is so great."

Du Wenhao hurriedly smiled and said humbly, took out a stack of handfuls from his arms, and handed them on both hands: "It's hard for Eunuch Jiao to issue an order. This is a thousand taels of silver. It's a little bit of a little. In the future, if you are inside and outside the palace, please give me more favors."

Eunuch Jiao's narrow eyes opened immediately. The eunuchs didn't like women and could not be an official, so they loved yellow and white things more than ordinary people. The eunuchs who were usually rewarded and issued eunuchs with orders were usually only ten taels, but more than a hundred taels. Du Wenhao gave him one thousand taels of silver. He was so happy that Eunuch Jiao was so happy that he even trembled with his hands. He took Jiaozi's stroke and smiled, put them in his arms, bowed to Du Wenhao, "It is said that Lord Du is loyal and righteous. When we meet today, we love our family so much, so we are not emptied! We are really ashamed to be responsible for the failure of our family. If there is any order in the future, we will give it to us."

"I have to bother my father-in-law."

Du Wenhao had planned that Eunuch Jiao was a person next to the Empress Dowager. Last time he visited Wei Ling'er on behalf of the Empress Dowager. This time he was ordered to issue an order. It can be seen that it must be the Empress Dowager's closeness. It seems that he will inevitably have to stay in the harem in the future. Such a person will take care of him. So Du Wenhao decided to give a lot of money to win him over for his eyes and ears.

"It's easy to say!" Eunuch Jiao looked around and came over to lower his voice, "The Empress Dowager attaches great importance to Lord Du, and Lord Du's good days are still coming! Hahaha."

"Hehe, you have to rely on your father-in-law to help you."

"It's easy to talk to my family in the future!" The two looked at each other meaningfully and smiled.

After seeing off Eunuch Jiao, the Du family suddenly became lively, and Lin Qingdai and others came to congratulate. Pang Yuqin ordered a big banquet tonight and a wide invitation to celebrate his husband's promotion to the sixth-rank imperial hospital, and also to celebrate his life as a sixth-rank lady.

That night, the Du family was decorated with lights. The young Yin Zhuang Jiong of Kaifeng was plotted by Du Wenhao, the father-in-law of Kaifeng, the Kaifeng Promoter Pang Jinghui, the Imperial Hospital Hospital, the hospital magistrate and the imperial physician chief of various departments, as well as the Yuhou of the Palace Chief Wei An who had asked Du Wenhao to treat Du Wenhao, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites, the Censor Xue He and Xue, etc., all came to congratulate him in person. Even General Gao Jinwei, the commander of the Ministry of War, sent people to send gifts.

These people's official ranks are either on par with Du Wenhao or below him, but Du Wenhao has a purple-clothed goldfish bag that is only available in the third rank of imperial gifts. Therefore, except for Pang Jinghui, the father-in-law, the rest of the people met with the following officials' courtesy, and they were really flattered to Du Wenhao.

As a magistrate of the Imperial Hospital, Du Wenhao has a special residence in the Imperial Hospital. However, Du Wenhao doesn't want to move to the Imperial Hospital, so he still lives at his own home with a relaxed and refreshed feeling.

The next day, Du Wenhao took him to the Imperial Hospital to report. The Imperial Hospital envoy brought the money without accepting it, and other colleagues held banquets for entertaining.

It turned out that Du Wenhao was already well-known in the capital. This time, he was ordered to treat the concubines in the harem. Only those with a head knew that Du Wenhao was promoted from a professor of the Imperial Medical Bureau, a young sesame official who was not in the rank of the Imperial Medical Bureau to a magistrate of the Sixth-rank Imperial Hospital, and was given a purple-clothed goldfish bag, which was a success. Even the fifth-rank Imperial Hospital envoy (the chief dean) deliberately cursed, let alone others.

Qian Busuo was the imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital Department of the Imperial Hospital. He was the happiest. His master became a high-ranking official and he was so proud of his life under a big tree.

Xia Jiupo, the female doctor in the Imperial Hospital, is an old woman in her fifties. She has received the secret order from the Empress Dowager to help Du Wenhao find out the reason why the concubines in the harem were sick. Therefore, she deliberately cursed Du Wenhao. Du Wenhao ate this welcome banquet very happily.

Although he had enough wine and food, Du Wenhao was empty-headed. He was unsure of how to investigate the causes of the concubines in the harem. That afternoon, he called Xia Jiupo alone to discuss.

Du Wenhao said: "Mr. Xia, you must have known the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager. You and I want to complete the important task of the Empress Dowager. How should we do it? I want to hear what you mean."

Du Wenhao felt a little awkward when he first said the word "Original", but it has been half a year since he came to the Song Dynasty. He heard that officials say this, but he didn't say it himself, but it was strange. Moreover, if an official is not a prosecutor, it would not be like an official, and there would be no authority, and the people below would not be afraid of you, and it would be difficult to implement orders. Therefore, the necessary official acts should be set.

Xia Jiupo replied respectfully: "Report to Lord Du, I have examined all the ladies in the palace. At first glance, the condition was not complicated, and the medicine was used to achieve results, but it recurred repeatedly. I was puzzled. I heard that Lord Du's medical skills were as good as a god, so I hoped that Lord Du would uncover the fog."

"Tell me the results of the diagnosis."

"Yes!" Xia Jiupo told her diagnosing the illness to the concubines in the harem, including the Empress Dowager's breast fetish condition.

After hearing this, Du Wenhao felt that the condition was not particularly strange. Why did it recur repeatedly and was still confused. He said, "Tomorrow morning, you will follow me to the palace and give you all the follow-up visits."

"Yes! Obey the order."

The next day, Du Wenhao brought Xia Jiupo to the harem.

The guards of the harem had received the imperial edict from the Empress Dowager, and Du Wenhao and Xia Jiupo could enter and exit the harem at will, so they checked their waist cards and let them go.
