Chapter 125: The Conspiracy Resumes
Li Mu followed Bai Yichuan to the Qingping official mansion (Dali Qingping's official position is the same as that of the prime minister), which is the largest official position in China.
Under the guidance of the subordinates, they came to the main hall, where the Qingping official waited, and when he saw Bai Yichuan's arrival, he was very happy, "It's so late, and I invited Dr. Bai here, I'm really sorry to go."
This Bai Yichuan is a very powerful doctor, the child in the family has dysentery, diarrhea is not stopped, the doctor in the city he can invite all the invitations, but there is no way, in the end he still found Dr. Bai, only to save a child, this is the family's great benefactor.
"It's okay, saving people is important, I don't know who is sick?" Bai Yichuan asked, the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, in other people's territory, it is good to have a big official covered, don't look at your own family has a certain status in Dayan, but in a foreign land, who knows who you are, although he has his own entourage, but he also has to be careful, there is no big mistake in being careful.
"It's a distinguished guest from Dayan, I've been here for two days, but some people are not used to the climate of Dayan, and I'm sick when I come, so I'm not here for the sake of prudence, I found you, and you are from a country, I believe it's convenient to speak." Qingping Guan explained.
"Take me to see a patient"
"Please"
A few people came to the guest room, and there were guards guarding the door, and when they saw that the Qingping official had brought someone here, they came to inquire.
"This is the doctor invited for Zheng Gongzi, the best doctor we have here, he must have a way." Qingping said politely.
The guard glanced at Bai Yichuan, "Wait, I'll go in and report it."
Qingping Guan smiled awkwardly, no way. Whoever makes the family come from a big country, a guard can put a fight against him, the country is small and weak, even if he is the prime minister.
Soon a middle-aged man came out of it, who was the housekeeper of the Zheng family, looked at the people outside, and after seeing Bai Yichuan, his eyes widened, "This is the third son of the Bai family in the capital?" ”
"You are?" Bai Yichuan didn't know this person, and he left the capital very early.
"I am the housekeeper of the Zheng family in Yuzhou, and I followed my master to the capital more than ten years ago, and I was fortunate to go to Baifu. I've seen you, Third Young Master. You haven't changed much, or the minions wouldn't have recognized you. The housekeeper said very politely, and he was relieved that there was someone from the Bai family. The young master should be fine now.
"Yes," Bai Yichuan was noncommittal. There are many people who have seen him. There are those who can recognize him.
"Bai Gongzi inside, please" The housekeeper moved out of his place and invited with a smile.
"Call me Doctor Bai, I'm old. My father has become an old lady, and he is no longer a young man," Bai Yichuan reminded.
"Yes, yes, Doctor Bai," the butler nodded incessantly.
This scene made Qingping Guan's eyes widen, is this still the high-ranking housekeeper, he was about to be angry with this housekeeper in the past two days, and this housekeeper almost pointed his nose and scolded them that there was no good doctor in Dali, saying that if his young master was like that, he would do what he did, which made his head very big.
The person on the bed had already collapsed from diarrhea, and was lying on the bed panting weakly at this time, Bai Yichuan gave him a pulse, and the others waited quietly.
After a while, Bai Yichuan withdrew his hand and said: "This son's condition is not too serious, the water and soil and slight dysentery have caused this situation, and after I give him a prescription, drink the medicine every day, it will be much better after five or six days, and it will be fine slowly, don't let him eat anything else in these two days, just drink some clear porridge, otherwise his body is weak and he can't save food." Bai Yichuan reminded.
"Yes, yes, I will do it, and please ask Doctor Bai to bother more, my young master also has something important to do, this body has been so sick, and I am afraid that it will delay things." The butler nodded incessantly.
"What is more important than life, he can't get out of bed now with weak feet, if you want his life, you just let him run around and get tired." Bai Yichuan was not polite at all.
"Yes, yes, no one matters, you must follow Dr. Bai's explanation" The housekeeper had to agree.
Standing aside, Li Mu glanced at this housekeeper, the people of the Zheng family? What are the people of the family doing in Dali? If it's just a trivial matter, at most one son comes over, how can the housekeeper follow, generally such a big family, the housekeeper has a very high status, and even has rights than the unfavored son, such a person will generally not leave the master's side, unless there is something big.
"Give me the medicine box" Bai Yichuan spoke, and Li Mu handed the medicine box over.
Bai Yichuan gave a consultation, and the housekeeper asked his own maid to guard it, and they went to wait outside.
The housekeeper thought that Li Mu was Bai Yichuan's attendant or guard, so he quietly asked, "Why did your master come to Dali?" ”
"Aren't you also in Dali? Why, Dali can't come? Li Mu asked rhetorically.
The butler just smiled
"Could it be that the Bai family is also involved in this matter, and I haven't gotten any news, is it the Zhou family?" The housekeeper whispered, but Li Mu was standing beside him and still heard it.
What are you involved in, and what tricks are these families doing, the Bai family, the Zhou family? Thinking of the Grand Canal before, Li Mu squinted, could it be that they were playing conspiracy again
Many seemingly unrelated accidents are inevitable that can be killed when combined.
After the diagnosis was cured, the Qingping official and the housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion came to see Bai Yichuan in person.
After coming out, Li Mu walked beside Bai Yichuan, "Uncle, do you think the Zheng family suddenly appeared here, is there something wrong?" ”
Bai Yichuan turned his head to look at Li Mu, "Why do you ask that?" ”
"Uncle has not been in the capital for a long time, you may not know, the new emperor has boarded the plane, Xiao Hou Ye is ambitious, secretly agitating several big families, there is a rebellion, now the Xiao family is already recruiting, everything is secretly preparing, the new emperor ascended the throne, the first thing is to build the Grand Canal, recruited millions of strong men, this matter of labor and wealth is indispensable behind the figure of the family, now they appear in a small country like Dali, it may not be accidental." Li Mu did not hide his feelings.
"The emperor is dead? The new emperor ascends to the throne? I really don't know, the Xiao family is going to rebel, what does Zhou Jianxiong mean? Bai Yichuan asked rhetorically, and he immediately thought of his brother-in-law with heavy troops. As long as there is no rebellion and there is no rebellion, it is not so easy for others to rebel.
"I don't support or oppose it, and Uncle Zhou has a bad impression of the new emperor, the new emperor once asked for Xiya, but Uncle Zhou rejected it, and there is a gap between the two." , Li Mu did not hide it.
"That's trouble, alas. How many years has Dayan been stable? It's going to be stormy again, when will such a day be a head. Bai Yichuan sighed, politics is the most complicated and dirty. Otherwise, he wouldn't have devoted himself to the study of medicine. I would rather hide in the mountains and old forests. I don't want to stand in the court of intrigue.
Look at my father and eldest brother and second brother, although they are high-ranking officials, they are tired. How can he live freely, and those who are tired grow old quickly.
Li Mu could only be silent, even if he didn't change the dynasty, the people's lives would not be much better.
"I don't know much about the people of the Zheng family, but I have seen the head of the Zheng family, he is a very ambitious person, he is very strong, he is also good at strategy, he is a decisive person, if he is still in the position of the head of the family, then this time the Zheng family's appearance here, I'm afraid it is not a trivial matter." Bai Yichuan said.
Li Mu nodded
"I still have some friendship with Qingping Guan, let's go back and inquire, maybe I can know what they are here for, are you kid also involved?" Bai Yichuan looked at Li Mu, he didn't want Xiaoya to follow Li Mu to live a frightened life, it was so easy to rebel?
"Uncle, don't worry, I haven't done anything, I do my business honestly, if things are clear in the future, I may choose a master, after all, business is not a lifelong thing for me." Li Mu did not hide his thoughts.
"The penitent husband is looking for a marquis, I hope Xiaoya will not regret it one day." Bai Yichuan sighed.
"I won't let Xiya regret marrying me, I will always stand by his side," Li Mu said his promise.
Bai Yichuan just patted Li Mu on the shoulder
On the other side, Qingping Guan and Steward Zheng walked to the study, "My son-in-law is fine, I will be relieved, let you rest assured." ”
"Yes, if something happens to Zheng Gongzi with me, I don't want to go, but fortunately, Zheng Gongzi is blessed and meets Doctor Bai here." Qingping Guan hurriedly said, people are polite, you can't follow the long face.
"Now that Childe is sick, I have to talk to you about the purpose of our trip." When I arrived at the study, Steward Zheng sat down.
"If you have something to say, please speak," Qingping Guan sat up straight.
"The new emperor of Dayan ascended the throne, you small countries are going to go to congratulate, I will let you pass a message to your king, and this time the tribute will be reduced by eighty percent." Steward Zheng tapped lightly on the table.
"Eighty percent? Didn't you hear that right? Qingping Guan was a little suspicious of his ears.
"It's just to lose eighty," Steward Zheng nodded.
"The new emperor ascends the throne, it would be good if he didn't increase the tribute, and he would reduce the tribute, if the new emperor was angry, blamed it, and raised troops to fight, how could I afford it." Qingping Guan thought that this steward Zheng was crazy, and when they came, he thought that they were going to increase the tribute to congratulate the new emperor, but he didn't expect to reduce the tribute.
"Huh...... This little thing scared you, and you think that this time only you are a small country to reduce the tribute? The small countries around Dayan will reduce their tribute under our operation, even if Your Majesty is angry, it will not be you who will attack, but the north, you don't need to know anything else, as long as you know that we are here, you don't need to care about anything, as long as you obey orders, rest assured, the benefits will be indispensable to you in the future, if there is discord between your tribes, we will help you unify Nanzhao. Although Steward Zheng was smiling on his face, his eyes were gloomy.
"But?" Qingping Guan is still a little hesitant, mainly because he has no psychological bottom, he knows the background and ability of these families in Dayan, they are not afraid of anything, but they are afraid of Dali, if Emperor Dayan is angry, how can they bear this anger.
"There is nothing but, if you spoil our good deeds, you know the consequences, all these years it has been our Zheng family responsible for trading with you Dali, if our family master is angry, you Nanzhao's things don't want to sell a needle in Dayan." Steward Zheng threatened.
He served with the head of the family, knew the plans of the head of the family and several other heads of the family, and knew that they wanted to mobilize the emperor to start a war and continue to consume the national strength, and this reduction of tribute was an introduction.
When the emperor makes the people resentful, that is, when Marquis Xiao raises the anti-flag, then their families will get unlimited benefits, this is their purpose.
"Okay, the lower officials will advise Your Majesty" Qingping Guan had no choice but to nod, no way, how can a small country have any right to speak.
"I'm waiting for the result," Steward Zheng smiled.
――――――――
The sky was blue, and by the Erhai Lake, Li Mu found a small boat, stood on the boat, stretched out his hand and smiled at Zhou Xiya, who was standing on the shore, "Come up"
Zhou Xiya smiled brightly and jumped on the boat, the boat shook for a while, Li Mu hurriedly helped her and joked, "My little aunt, you slow down, although my martial arts are world-famous, I can't stand your scare." ”
"Cheeky, I can't compare to me in martial arts, and I dare to boast of my martial arts." Zhou Xiya laughed.
"Didn't I let you, otherwise you think that you are a weak woman who can compete with me in ten moves."
"Where am I weak" Zhou Xiya straightened her waist unwillingly.
"Well, it's not weak, it's very 'mighty'" Li Mu looked Zhou Xiya up and down, and smiled kindly.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Xiya pinched Li Mu's cheeks with both hands.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, let go of me, let go of me, I didn't see anything." Li Mu cooperated to beg for mercy.
"It's pretty much the same," Zhou Xiya smiled with satisfaction.
"It's really a tigress, didn't you just look at it twice, and don't let people say it." Li Mu rubbed his face.
He and Zhou Xiya are now like ordinary little couples, they have nothing to quarrel with, joke, and they are also very happy, and his old heart seems to be a little younger.
Zhou Xiya glared at him.
Li Mu immediately surrendered, "I'll go rowing, I'll go rowing, this young lady, please do a good job, this boatman is going to sail." ”
Zhou Xiya sat down with a smile.
Li Mu gently slid the oars, and the boat paddled on the Erhai Sea
"It's so beautiful, if you can live here forever, read a book on the shore every day, or come to row a boat, and taste the fish in the Erhai Lake, this is a fairy-like day." Zhou Xiya sat on the boat and looked at Li Mu with her chin in tow.
"Yes, this kind of leisurely life is indeed very good, Xiya, when we are old in the future, how about I bring you here to retire, I will row for you, and you sing to me." Li Mu echoed.
"Okay, but you have to exercise well, I don't want to wait for you to become an old man and can't row a boat, I want you to row for me personally, row a boat for a lifetime." Zhou Xiya smiled very gently.
"Sister, you take the bow of the boat, brother walks on the shore...... Affection, love, love, rope swinging...... Sister, you take the bow of the boat brother to walk on the shore...... Affection, love, love, rope swinging, ......" Li Mu sang loudly. (To be continued......)
