Chapter 559 Rehabilitation
Chapter 559 Revision
The beautiful woman smiled sweetly and looked as bright as spring flowers: "Emperor, I see what this child said makes sense."
Li Shimin had no choice but to nod: "Since everyone who loves to behave is right, then he is allowed to not give a big gift."
When Zuo Shaoyang heard the beautiful woman actually spoke to her, he immediately felt good about her. He glanced at Xiao Yunfei again, but saw Xiao Yunfei looking at him shyly, touching her eyes, and quickly turned her head, her face full of blushing.
Li Shimin said: "Zuo Aiqing, I forgive you for your death penalty because my beloved concubine and Princess Yongjia. Princess Feiyang pleads for you. Why don't you come forward and thank them for your life?"
"Princess Feiyang?" Zuo Shaoyang felt a little aftertaste and looked at Xiao Yunfei: "Sister Xiao, are you Princess Feiyang?"
Xiao Yunfei nodded shyly: "My father was recently enthroned." After saying that, he placed his hands on the beautiful woman's shoulders and said, "Shaoyang, this is my mother. She was captured before and was captured by the Turkic Kingdom. My father sent a large army to defeat the Turkic people and welcomed my mother back. He also enthroned her as a concubine."
Only then did Zuo Shaoyang realize that this beautiful woman was Xiao Meiniang, a famous beauty in history who served seven emperors in succession!
Li Shimin and Xiao Meiniang are old acquaintances, and they have had a time of love. However, Li Shimin was not lucky and watched the inviting people to be occupied, and he felt extremely hatred. One of the purposes of sending troops to the Turkic Republic this time was to make Xiao Meiniang. After Xiao Meiniang was forcibly left by the Turkic emperor, Li Shimin sent Li Jing to lead the army to defeat the Turkic Republic and to welcome Xiao Meiniang back.
Princess Yongjia failed to persuade the emperor to pardon Zuo Shaoyang's crimes, and at the same time found that she could not organize a prison escape rescue. She knew that the emperor's brother Li Shimin especially liked Xiao Yunfei's mother Xiao Meiniang, so she immediately told Xiao Yunfei.
At that time, Xiao Yunfei and her mother were in the Turkic state. Xiao Yunfei immediately told her all the reasons, so Xiao Yunfei and Xiao Meiniang rushed back to the capital with a night of escort from Li Jing.
When Li Shimin saw Xiao Meiniang, the love that had buried deep in her heart sprouted and bloomed again. Please be the imperial concubine. Xiao Meiniang had a good impression of Li Shimin, so she immediately agreed and told her daughter Xiao Yunfei's love affair with Zuo Shaoyang, and asked Li Shimin to forgive Zuo Shaoyang.
The lover in his dream spoke for the first time, but Li Shimin couldn't refuse. In addition, he was already caring about Zuo Shaoyang's medical skills. He was a little hesitant in his heart whether to kill Zuo Shaoyang or not. He just gave Xiao Meiniang a favor, but he still wanted to give Zuo Shaoyang a warning and an explanation to Du Ruhui's family and ministers. It was not until he was sent to the court that he issued a secret order to allow the hair to be cut and replaced. Zuo Shaoyang's life was saved.
Zuo Shaoyang was the first person in the Tang Dynasty to save his life after the third repost. This shows the position of this beautiful concubine in Li Shimin's heart.
Zuo Shaoyang bowed: "Thank you, Empress and the two princesses for pleading for Zuo!"
Seeing that he still did not kowtow and thanked him, Li Shimin smiled helplessly and shook his head, saying, "Zuo Aiqing comes forward to listen to the seal!"
Zuo Shaoyang waved his hand: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not accepting your reward."
Li Shimin's face suddenly sank: "You don't know what official I want to reward you, so you refuse?"
"No matter what official he is, even if he is a king, prince, general, and minister, I cannot accept it."
“Why?”
"I'm dead, can a dead person become an official?"
Li Shimin was shocked.
Xiao Meiniang burst out laughing: "Emperor, since he doesn't want to be an official, let him go. This time, I'm really pitiful."
Li Shimin followed the beautiful concubine in everything and nodded and said, "Well, it's okay not to be an official. But there is something that needs to be dealt with first. Zuo Aiqing, now I have pardoned your death penalty and killed your mortal enemy Du Jing. Liu Zhenghui died of illness a few days ago because you refused to treat him. Now, can you help Liu Zhenghui and Du Jing's family treat the corpse and treat terminal illness?"
"No!" Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said.
Li Shimin's face became gloomy again: "Why is this? Could it be that you are really heartless and don't save me when I die?"
Xiao Meiniang smiled and said, "Master, he is not a person who refuses to save him. He is unwilling to be treated. There must be his reason."
"I just want to listen to his reason!"
Looking at Li Shimin's eyes, Zuo Shaoyang was not afraid and raised his head and said, "I used to treat Prime Minister Du, and said that his illness could only be used as medicine for women's insemination. He clearly refused at that time, so I did not treat him. Later, when I went to Quzhou for treatment, Du Jing sent a housekeeper to find me and said that he could persuade Prime Minister Du to use as medicine for medicine for treatment. I only needed to use as medicine for the insemination. I was eager to save people, so I believed Du Jing's words and gave him medicine. Unexpectedly, he would frame me with this trick.
So much so that Prime Minister Du committed suicide. I was very sad about this matter, but I asked myself that it was purely deceived and that I was saved. I was sentenced to death in order to save people. I was not convinced. I could not live in this world with a murder charge, so I hope that the emperor can determine my behavior based on the facts and declare me innocent. Otherwise, since I have been charged with murder, I don’t care about murdering more people. Whether they die or not has nothing to do with me! I will be a person who will never save him!"
"Dare you dare to threaten me? I can forgive you or send you back to the court!" Li Shimin said angrily.
Miao Peilan was originally afraid of hiding behind Zuo Shaoyang. When she heard this, she felt something was wrong. She subconsciously shook her body and protected Zuo Shaoyang, clenched her fists and glared at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin didn't look at the girl carefully just now. Seeing this scene, he was stunned and looked at Miao Peilan very much. He smiled faintly: "Your concubine is brave. Girl, what's your name?"
"My name is Miao Peilan, Emperor, if you want to kill my master, you must kill me first!"
"Lan'er, don't worry! The emperor will not kill me." Zuo Shaoyang whispered, shook his body and flashed behind Miao Peilan, and said to Emperor Li Shimin: "I'm not a threat, I'm telling the truth. If you want me to treat them, I agree. The exchange condition is that you must determine that I am innocent based on the facts. Otherwise, I don't need to listen to you. Because, I learned my medical skills myself, not given by the emperor, even though you are the emperor, you don't have the power to instruct me to treat someone, because I am no longer your subject. My own medical skills, I will treat anyone I want to treat. I won't treat anyone who I am unhappy, it's that simple!"
No one has ever dared to speak to Li Shimin like this, but although Zuo Shaoyang's words sounded very rude, they were a real truth. Li Shimin was really angry and funny, but he couldn't find any words to refute.
Xiao Meiniang smiled: "Your Majesty, I think he is right. The emperor is too sad about Prime Minister Du's death. Then again, even if there is no such thing, Prime Minister Du will not take Prince Du's medicine, he will definitely die. The imperial physician said that he will definitely not live last winter. It is rare to have talent. Prince Du's medical skills are so magical, and it will never be found in a thousand years!"
This sentence talks about Li Shimin's heart. Li Shimin approved Zuo Shaoyang's death penalty three times, but hesitated, because Zuo Shaoyang's medical skills were too magical. Such talents were not as good as the Imperial Physicians' combined. He wanted to appoint Zuo Shaoyang as his personal imperial physician just now because of the rare consideration of talents.
Although he was extremely sad about Du Ruhui's death and had decided to kill Zuo Shaoyang to avenge Du Ruhui, after nearly a year, his hatred became much weaker after all, and his appreciation of Zuo Shaoyang's talents began to gradually gain the upper hand. The desire for talent had already made him hesitate. In addition, Xiao Meiniang and Princess Yongjia's pleaded with each other, and decided to pardon Zuo Shaoyang, but wanted to give him a warning and let him know what was going on. After all, he issued an order to cut off his hair and replace him. He wanted to scare him half to death, and he could calculate his anger. Unexpectedly, this scare scared Zuo Shaoyang's originally generous and kind state of mind into a hard and hard heart.
In this situation, the determination of Zuo Shaoyang is not guilty, not only can he save Du Jing and Liu Zhenghui's family, but he can also win people's hearts and take this extraordinary miracle doctor for his own use. After all, the deceased is dead and cannot be resurrected. What's more, an order has been issued to allow hair to be cut off and a discerning person already knows that he wants to save his life, so why do you have to care about this crime? Du Ruhui died of suicide, not by someone. He has killed a Du Jing, which is also considered an explanation. Why not use the donkey to give Xiao Meiniang a face and win the beauty's favor, which is also good.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin smiled: "Okay! I cherish your skills, so I issued an order to make you innocent and appoint you as my personal imperial physician to accompany me. How about it?"
Zuo Shaoyang smiled and bowed, "Thank you, just be sure to be innocent. As for the personal imperial doctor, I'd better avoid it. I'm already a dead person, a lonely ghost, I can stay in the Hall of Yama, but I can't stay in the palace."
Li Shimin frowned and looked at Xiao Meiniang.
Xiao Meiniang smiled sweetly and said to Li Shimin: "Emperor, since Mr. Zuo has no intention of career, you don't have to force yourself to stay. If you find a young master in the future, the young master should not refuse. - Right Mr. Zuo?"
Zuo Shaoyang smiled gratefully and nodded, "I can ignore anyone in the world, but the Empress has a life, so no Shaoyang dares not to obey!"
Li Shimin originally wanted Xiao Meiniang to persuade Zuo Shaoyang to stay, but unexpectedly, Xiao Meiniang helped Zuo Shaoyang to speak and let him not stay. Zuo Shaoyang was even more amazing. In his eyes, he could ignore the orders of this great Emperor of Tang and just say that he only followed Xiao Meiniang's words, which made Li Shimin a little embarrassed.
Xiao Meiniang changed the topic and asked, "What are the plans for Mr. Zuo in the future?"
Zuo Shaoyang held Miao Peilan's hand and said, "I will take my Lan'er and my newly accepted apprentice to travel to Japan and reunite with my family."
Princess Yongjia didn't speak until now, and only asked curiously: "I haven't heard that you have accepted an apprentice. You have been in the death row this year. How have you accepted an apprentice?"
