"Okay." Zhu Youtang said, "You go there in person. If you can't make it in time, I'll give Mr. Li Ge a day off tomorrow. It's up to him to decide."

…

…

"Eunuch Dai, if you want to go to Mr. Li Ge's house to deal with something like this, you'd better let someone go."

When Xiao Jing heard that Dai Yi was going to Li Dongyang's house, he volunteered because he usually communicated frequently with outsiders.

Dai Yi said: "This is for Your Majesty to contact Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li Ge. For such a big matter, His Majesty has already ordered who to go, and who dares to shirk it?"

"This..." Xiao Jing nodded first, but then said with emotion, "Why did your Majesty suddenly forget about Mr. Li Ge's family affairs?"

Dai Yi sighed: "Mr. Zhang came into the palace today to talk to His Majesty. Even if he doesn't know what he said, he probably knows why. Now the dragon has a weak heir, and Mr. Li Ge also has a weak heir. There are similarities between monarchs and ministers.

Your Majesty will inevitably pay more attention to it. Besides, this is also to help Mr. Zhang accumulate connections in the court, how could your Majesty not pay attention?"

Xiao Jing shook his head: "The cure is due to connections. If it cannot be cured..."

"This is an incurable disease, so if you can't cure it, you have to force it on others? Mr. Li Ge can't be unreasonable, right? Your Majesty also made it clear that if you don't ask for a cure, it should be a grandson for Mr. Li Ge.

Do you usually burn high incense?"

Dai Yi's tone was a bit unkind.

He felt that Xiao Jing had been too pushy recently, and now that the emperor arranged for him to do something, Xiao Jing wanted to take the initiative to do it.

He didn't think that Xiao Jing was sharing the hard work for him, but more that Xiao Jing wanted to replace him.

"Mr. Li Ge may not agree, right?" Xiao Jing smiled bitterly.

Dai Yi said: "It's still necessary to ask. Your Majesty has the intention, but we can't be ruthless. Mr. Zhang is embarrassed to mention it himself. Your Majesty is just trying to lead the way. As for whether Mr. Li Ge accepts this, it depends on his view of his own family.

Are you paying attention to the incense?"

…

…

That night, after dark, Dai Yi came to the door in person.

Li Dongyang has just returned from Wenyuan Pavilion. After a busy day, he will have a rest when he comes back. He will be on duty the next night and may have to stay up for a long time.

"Master, Eunuch Dai is here."

"Please quickly!"

After Li Dongyang simply arranged his clothes, he walked to the door in person.

After exchanging pleasantries with Dai Yi, Li Dongyang could only think that Dai Yi was here to convey the emperor's imperial decree, and respectfully invited him to his main hall.

Dai Yi smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite, Mr. Li Ge. We are just here to convey a message for Your Majesty. It's very simple. Just leave after saying this."

"Respectfully receive the imperial edict." Li Dongyang has made all preparations to receive the imperial edict.

Dai Yidao: "Can you let others avoid it first?"

"Um."

Li Dongyang then dismissed his servants.

But seeing that Dai Yi had already sat down and had no intention of announcing the edict, Li Dongyang also became puzzled.

"His Majesty summoned Mr. Zhang to the palace today to talk about the issue of Long Si." Dai Yi made the opening remarks, and then thought of something, "Mr. Li Ge, let's sit down and talk."

"this……"

When choosing an imperial edict, do you still have to sit down and say it?

But it was impossible for Dai Yi not to understand the rules. Since Dai Yi said so, Li Dongyang sat down with peace of mind.

"As for what His Majesty said to Mr. Zhang and the others, we don't know, but then His Majesty mentioned the illness of Mr. Li Ge's hometown..."

"Your Majesty is worried. Quanzi... is fine." Li Dongyang didn't want to bother the emperor with this kind of thing.

Besides, he had already consulted the imperial doctor, and he had thought of all the ways to think of it. At present, Li Zhaoxian's condition was quite mild, and he was not close to death yet. He was also working hard to let his son recover from his illness.

At the same time, give him a grandson.

He wasn't too desperate either.

Dai Yidao: "Your Majesty's intention, if Mr. Li Ge agrees, your Majesty will ask Mr. Zhang to come over and give your son... a consultation."

"What?"

Li Dongyang frowned.

What is the emperor going to do? He actually thinks of treating his son?

Dai Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li Ge, Mr. Zhang doesn't know about this. Mr. Zhang will come here only if you have needs. Your Majesty said that the disease can be cured, but it may not be sure, but if

Mr. Li Ge has an heir, so it can be considered... a pity for me."

Li Dongyang frowned little by little.

If it had been anything else, he would have been able to retaliate on the spot.

But when it comes to his heirs... Li Dongyang wants to say how principled he is... but he really isn't.

When it comes to principles, Liu Jian is better than him, and even Xie Qian is not better than him.

Historically, after Li Zhaoxian died in the 14th year of Hongzhi, Li Zhaofan passed into his name. He even took the initiative to ask the emperor to grant Li Zhaofan the status of imperial eunuch. Later, when Liu Jian and others joined forces to deal with the Eight Tigers, Li Dongyang was even suspected of leaking the news, and

Later, Liu Jian and Xie Qian retreated, and he stayed in the court to deal with Liu Jinxu...

Li Dongyang has never become a famous official because of his uprightness. Sometimes he has been burdened with a lot, but at the same time he also has the cunningness of a literary man and the so-called ability to bend and stretch.

"Mr. Li Ge, Mr. Zhang will go to Xuan Mansion tomorrow. We can't say for sure when he will come back. If you are really serious, your Majesty will ask us to go to his house to inform you immediately. You don't have to come to court tomorrow, and neither will Mr. Zhang.

I will go, and then let him come to the house and take a look...the news will not be leaked."

Li Dongyang felt that the emperor was fully concerned about his face.

On the one hand, he wanted Zhang Zhou to help his son treat his illness, and on the other hand, he wanted to cover up his dealings with Zhang Zhou to preserve his reputation.

Such thoughtfulness touched Li Dongyang's heart.

Although Li Dongyang was moved, he still shook his head and refused: "Thank you for your Majesty's kindness. It is best for the dog to recover slowly."

Dai Yi had no choice but to empathize with him and said: "Mr. Ge, our family is somewhat aware of this disease and we are recovering, but the condition will get worse day by day. It is not impossible to wait until Mr. Zhang returns to Beijing to treat the condition, but I want to

As for heirs... we still have to do it as soon as possible."

"Ahem."

Li Dongyang kept coughing.

He himself is also sick, hemorrhoids, and he has been suffering from this disease for many years, which also tortures him a lot.

Now Dai Yi clearly told him that your son's death may be a matter of time, but if you still want to have a grandson, you'd better not be complacent, because you only have one chance.

"Mr. Zhang will leave tomorrow, and he will be gone for at least a few months, and it is not impossible after many years. Who knows what he will be like when he comes back? You may be thinking that this Mr. Zhang doesn't have much ability, and it's all just a boast from outsiders.

...But you should have seen what he has done. If there is only one person in the world who can treat your son's illness with effective results, who else else can he treat?"

Dai Yi also worked hard to complete the mission entrusted by the emperor.

Obviously Li Dongyang said he didn't need it, so he could go back and do the work, but he was unwilling to do so.

Xiao Jing has been climbing on top of him recently, and the emperor doesn't seem to have as much trust in him as before. What's more terrible is... Zhang Zhou is usually very close to Xiao Jing, which means that Xiao Jing now has

The emperor and Zhang Zhou were two great backers.

Only by helping Zhang Zhou and Li Dongyang get on the line, can Zhang Zhou and Li Dongyang accept his favor at the same time, and can he be more secure in his position as the Chief of Ceremonies and the Eunuch in Charge of the Seals.

Dai Yi said: "How about this? Early tomorrow morning, you prepare a sedan to carry the son out of the house. Our family will arrange a place, and then invite Mr. Zhang to come over for consultation. No name, just a normal consultation. You also

You don’t have to show up, okay?”

Zhang Zhou was not allowed to come to the house to treat the patient, and he was directly taken out for consultation.

Dai Yi is now on his own to save face for Li Dongyang.

At this point, Li Dongyang seemed to have no possibility of refusing. He nodded and said: "Thank you for your service, father-in-law."
