This is the second shift, and there is another one today, which will be a little later.

――――◇――――◇――――

The servants standing in the hall saw Master Shi beckoning, and hurriedly bowed down in response, and hurriedly walked out of the hall to prepare tea.

Hearing his father's words come to this point, Shi Xin's eyes froze, and in an instant, he showed a look of surprise: "Could it be ......?"

At this time, he was still unbelievable, Yan Guang, as the most qualified elder of the Yan family and the most authoritative physician representative of the Taiyi Bureau, actually lied about what he valued the most?

This behavior is too far from his image!

Although Shi Xin is young, he is also a person who has been in officialdom for a few years, plus before he joined the office, he could get his father's teachings when he was at home, so he is naturally familiar with some rules in officialdom, and people's hearts cannot be regarded as the most basic common sense.

But Yan Guang is a different person, and it seems that his character cannot be measured by such rules.

Yan Guangguan served as the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and like many of the courtiers of the current court, he was a relict of the previous court. Although Yan Guang has been a medical practitioner for decades, and his official fortune has withstood the subversive baptism of changing the dynasty, and his qualifications are quite heavy, he has never been able to enter the honorary position of minister.

All the imperial doctors and students of the Taiyi Bureau are never allowed to be involved in politics or discuss politics, which is a strict order that has continued for most of the previous dynasty. Now that the emperor surnamed Wang is in charge of the operation of the dynasty, this decree is still retained without any change.

And the pattern of Beijing officials, because of this decree that has lasted for more than a hundred years, has naturally formed a division. If it is said that the longer the people in the officialdom are mixed, the more exquisite they are, and even the faces of Buddhas and ghosts, then the longer the medical officers in the Taiyi Bureau have been in office, the more peaceful they are.

Not because the Taiyi Bureau is a good hall, but because the promotion road of the Taiyi Bureau is special, and it is based on virtue.

In this somewhat special department. A physician with superb medical skills may not be able to rise to the top with his ability, and if a medical officer is step-by-step in his own work, even if his medical skills are mediocre compared to others, this person's status can be seen to slowly rise.

About fourteen years ago, the mother of the Ling Emperor of the previous dynasty was seriously ill, and Yan Guang, who had just been promoted to the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, was a little helpless. Adhering to the heart of a doctor who saves people, Yan Guang asked Emperor Ling for a gift and recommended his friend Liao Shilai to treat the Queen Mother.

Although Emperor Ling was indulged in pleasure, he was indeed very filial to his biological mother. Because I care about the safety of my mother. Emperor Ling didn't care about Liao Shi's unknown identity and almost suddenly came out of the ground, and allowed him to enter the palace to check the pulse of the Queen Mother.

Unexpectedly, Liao Shi really did what Yan Guang recommended. took out a kind of medicinal powder that he carried with him as a medicine guide, and dispensed a dose of medicine, and woke up the unconscious Queen Mother. Because of this, Liao Shi was personally given the reputation of 'pharmacist' by Emperor Ling.

However, Liao Shi just saved the Queen Mother and 'woke up'. but not saved.

After waking up after taking the medicine for the first time, the Queen Mother lived for less than a month before she suddenly died! And this time, the condition took a turn for the worse, even more suddenly than the previous time, and the life was gone.

The sudden death of the Queen Mother made Emperor Ling furious. At the same time, Liao Shi was also attacked by a group of medical officers of the Taiyi Bureau.

Because during Liao Shi's treatment of the Queen Mother, although he insisted on using a medicine he brought with him as a medicine guide. But in addition, other compounds and cooking utensils are provided by the Taiyi Medical Bureau. The death of the Queen Mother, the medical officers of the Imperial Medical Bureau are also responsible.

However, in the face of the furious emperor, the large group of medical officers did not want to be dragged down by the mistake of a never-famous Tulang. And to go to the funeral of the dead old woman of the emperor's family, the only way to shirk all the responsibilities is to shirk all the responsibilities.

Initially. Because of the recommender Yan Guang's efforts to protect people, Emperor Ling was still a little hesitant about whether to punish Liao Shi severely. Yan Guangwei Liao Shi defended the reasoning, and Emperor Ling could still listen to it in his mind at that time.

But the sad thing is that because Liao Shi not only does not have a trace of fame in the world, he is also extremely ugly. And sometimes when he laughs wildly, there will be a little bit of sparkle in his eyes. Some medical officers of the Taiyi Bureau noticed this, and after conspiring, they covered him with the notoriety of the poison doctor's successor, but this sentence made the Spirit Emperor believe it.

In the end, if it weren't for Yan Guang's life to protect his friends, and the emperor did not find strong evidence of the relationship between Liao Shi and the poison doctor's successor, Liao Shi might really want to be different.

Liao Shi's final punishment was permanent imprisonment and imprisonment.

The people who were originally watching this matter coldly estimated that with Liao Shi's appearance, he would die of old age after living in the prison for a few years, so they didn't fall into the well again.

But he never thought that Liao Shi was extremely hard-hitting, in the prison where there was no sunlight all day long, and rats and insects were rampant, he not only lived for nearly five years, but also luckily lived until the fall of the Zhou Dynasty and the new monarchy's decree of amnesty to the emperor.

But when Liao Shi was released from prison, there was no joy or anger on his face, and he only said coldly: "Liao is alive and will not treat anyone again." ”

Now it seems that these are all gossip, but what happened to Liao Shi has made a certain atmosphere in the Taiyi Bureau more and more solid. No one will dare to stand out in front of everyone anymore, and in the face of the more serious matters for the Taiyi Bureau, it must be the results that the medical officers have discussed with each other, and then one of them will take the lead.

I don't want everyone to share the burden, but it's best to share the credit equally. Prudence and precision are not only one of the key principles of medical morality, but a certain kind of cautious feeling has now infected and changed everyone in the Taiyi Bureau.

The people in the Taiyi Bureau may not all be virtuous and benevolent saints, but they must definitely not make a single mistake or omission. Even if you do, at least don't show your mistakes.

Yan Guang spanned two dynasties and served as the chief physician of the Taiyi Bureau, and he has always done so. I don't know if it is shaped by the environment of the Taiyi Medical Bureau, or because of Yan Guang's own tempered heart.

However, as long as a normal person maintains a posture mentally for more than ten years, even if he plays a part of this image at first, it will affect his heart after so many years of accumulation.

If Yan Guang has been in the position of the Taiyi Bureau for more than ten years, he has not yet retired after the age of sixteen, and the emperor has not yet drawn up the actions of candidates, this is all because of his meticulous style, which makes people impeccable, then this time the theft of his medicine box can be regarded as an opportunity that some people in the Taiyi Bureau can grasp if they are interested in seeking promotion.

Although Yan Guang lost the medicine box. It doesn't seem to have dealt a fatal blow to his job at the moment, but that's what the medical officers under him can find.

It's just because the Yan family's incident is unbearable, just like what Shi Jing said at this moment, in this matter, if you want to make some articles, be careful, maybe you can do it.

If Yan Guang slowly equips his lost things, even this opportunity will be lost.

The servant had already returned to the flower hall with the tea he had made. Gently resting the teacup on the table by the hands of the old master and the third young master, the servant saw that the two masters were pondering. I didn't dare to be an eyesore in the flower hall, so I retreated outside and stood by the door. In order to facilitate the response to the master's orders at any time.

Shi Jing's words aroused many clues in the hearts of his third son.

In recent years, there has been a peaceful scene between the government and the opposition, there has been no war outside, and the border defense has been stable. The emperor has been doing things very carefully to restore the people's livelihood, and the ministers of various departments are also actively cooperating with the ability to contribute, but this seems to have little to do with the Privy Council.

Shi Xin stayed in the Privy Council, and he felt unusually idle.

In addition to the holidays provided by the job, most of the daily work is a morning meeting every Friday. Standing in the main hall and listening to the deliberations between the ministers and the emperor - most of the affairs related to the people's livelihood and social welfare, it is difficult for him to say a word - at other times, if Shi Xin needs to ask for leave. Most of them can be approved on the same day, and it is easy to take a full day off.

In extraordinary times, the work pressure of the Privy Council and the changes in the situation are extremely strong and complex, so leisure time is an alternative reward for this department by the emperor. Most of the ministers in other departments agreed with this.

But Shi Xin himself doesn't think so.

If there is nothing to do at work, he often thinks about the changes in the pattern of court officialdom on his own. He doesn't do anything because of his scrutiny. I just want to rub my brain thinking with this, and I don't want my judgment of the situation to become dull because of long-term idleness.

Shi Jing's attitude towards the third son's habit and 'exercise' method is biased. However, although Shi Jing mentioned the matter of the Yan family just now, he didn't think too much, his contemplation was because of another thing.

After all, he is a certain age person, and he has often worked late into the night recently, and Shi Jing has felt some symptoms of internal fire floating in his body. Taking a sip of sweet tea soup and moistening his somewhat dry throat, when Shi Jing put down the teacup, he slightly suppressed some of the emotions he had stirred up when he was contemplating just now, glanced at his son, who was especially contemplative, and asked casually: "Are you still thinking about the Yan family?" ”

Shi Xin nodded, and when he heard his father's question, he also collected his thoughts and picked up the teacup.

"Don't think about it." Shi Jing said three words lightly, and then he was speechless.

However, Shi Xin heard a hint of unfinished words from the three words his father said, but he didn't know why his father didn't continue to say the second half of the sentence...... Or did he give up mentioning it, as he said himself?

There is a slight difference between not being helpful in mentioning and abandoning mention.

After Shi Xin picked up the teacup on the table, he lifted the lid and blew the tea soup, but he hesitated for a moment and didn't drink it, then covered the lid and put the teacup back on the table.

Shi Jing, who was sitting opposite him, saw his move, his eyes moved, and said, "When I said goodbye to Cen Chi just now, I didn't see you so impetuous. ”

Shi Xin originally thought that his father's contemplation just now was also because of the Yan family's affairs, but when he looked at his father's eyes, he made some other discoveries.

According to the words, he put down his pondering about the affairs of the Yan family, Shi Xin was silent for a moment, and then hesitated: "Father is busy with affairs, and he also wants to take the time to come back, just to bid farewell to a doorman?" ”

"It's not that simple, Cen Chi is not a simple Qingke." The crow's feet at the corners of Shi Jing's eyes deepened slightly.

Just half an hour ago, the father and son sent Cen Chi away. And the reason why Cen Chi left this time was a little sudden, not because he was going to travel far away, it seemed that he was also forced to do so.

Shi Xin fell silent again.

If he didn't think about the affairs of the Yan family, he would feel troubled.

After all, the affairs of the Yan family are foreign affairs, but if Shi Xin calms down, he will unconsciously think about half of his own family's affairs. Regarding Cen Chi, there is a contradiction in Shi Xinxin.

Seeing that the expression on his son's face changed slightly, but he didn't speak, Shi Jing took a sip of tea slowly, and then said in a flat tone: "You will doubt him, that's normal." I doubt him too, but he is not the only one who doubts. ”

"Father is ......" Shi Xin's eyes moved, and he finally spoke.

"That's it." Shi Jing put down the teacup and said slowly: "San'er, even if the situation is really as you suspect, then what? The battle in that land will inevitably be a struggle between countries, and in this context, what can one or two people change if they are interspersed? Although the battle of the country is also the battle of people, Cen Chi is just a lonely person. ”

For a long time, in Shi Xin's impression, his father's attitude towards Cen Chi has never completely let go of doubts. But why, what his father said at this time seemed to tell him not to doubt Cen Chi?

Shi Xin thought that he had heard it wrong, and after staring at it, he felt that he didn't seem to have heard it wrong, but he just asserted it too quickly. After doubting for a moment, he calmed down and silently pondered his father's words.

Indeed, Cen Chi has neither fame nor soldiers, and now he is being haunted by slow poison, what can he do for a while? What can he do in the northwest where the mountains are high, the roads are dangerous, the miasma is full of miasma, and the wilderness is close to the wilderness?

The reason why the Prime Minister's Mansion took Cen Chi in was actually because his father understood the meaning of his mentorship.

The Beili lineage can be traced back, and the fate of the school can be roughly tied to the Zhou Dynasty. However, in the last 50 years of the Zhou Dynasty, this faction almost disappeared, so it almost became a school outside the world, completely cutting off contact with the world.

A school has been interrupted for such a long time in the world, and there are no works handed down to the world, and no talents have entered the WTO, and it is easy for people to forget it. Many years later, the academic community suddenly saw the descendants of this school again, and even if some people still remember this school, they may not take the so-called descendants of the North Fence seriously.

After Shi Jing paused, he said to the third son: "If Cen Chi is really as you suspect, wouldn't it be exposed if we do it at this time?" It is not worth taking this risk for a thin person who has no power or soldiers, and it is better to give up it in time if it is not available. ”

It's not the first time I've talked to my father like this, and when I talk about Cen Chi, every conversation atmosphere will have a time when it's unpleasant. Father will not say too bluntly, Shi Xin knows this very well, and he also knows the trace of slaughter in his father's words at this time.

But he finally couldn't bear it, sighed, and said softly: "Do you really want to do this? ”
