- The young man in Tsing Yi on the right side of the window table was the first to speak, and said slowly: "This ...... It's about the car of the Sanpin master, right? ”

The middle-aged man in Xuanyi, who was sitting opposite him, raised his glass slightly, and did not directly answer the young man's question, but said slowly after thinking: "I think of a person. ”

The young man's eyes lit up: "You said the Ye family?" ”

"Yes, this honor is not easy to come by." The middle-aged man nodded.

The young man said calmly: "According to your algorithm, the three-product reception specifications have wronged him." ”

"Not only is it a third grade, even if he rises to the rank of marquis, it is not enough to receive him." The middle-aged man took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, leaned towards the table, lowered his voice and said, "The Ye family's leisurely life in the north back then is not comparable to the royal life. The old man of the Ye family is a person who can enjoy it very much, growing up in such a family background, the life that Ye Zhengming wants, I am afraid that it is not something that the royal family can give. ”

The young man also lowered his voice, took over the topic and said, "After you said this, I am even more puzzled by what I saw just now. It seems that the emperor just gave Ye Zhengming a little vanity, as for the official body and the old case of the Ye family, these two practical things have not been settled. This emperor's attitude is tepid, why does Ye Zhengming continue to consume it like this? Although there are not many people left in the Ye family now, I don't think that there is no trace of shade left in the once huge family business, and it may be better to live a better life if you are away from this place of right and wrong. ”

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What other people plan in their hearts, we won't mention this topic for the time being." But because of what I saw today, what we talked about yesterday, I suddenly had a clue. ”

"Oh?" The young man's eyes moved slightly, and he waited intently to listen.

The middle-aged man sat upright at this time, but he pretended to be mysterious and only said: "Go to Ruan's house first, and then I will tell you slowly on the way." ”

The young man also sat up straight, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Although I am a little unhappy that you are still selling off the guanzi when you talk to you, I still depend on you." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled. got up and left his seat, paid for the tea, and walked out of the teahouse.

……

……

After the strange hot temperature on his body subsided, the two sickly red tides on the face of the second prince Wang Hong also faded. All that was left was a pale undertone, and he woke up frowning, and the idiots knew how uncomfortable he was going to be now.

But when he saw the three imperial doctors around the bed, he suddenly cheered up again, wanting to express his usual respect for those who practice medicine and save people. But he soon found that he had no strength in his body at this time, and he wanted to break up, but in the end he could only maintain a lying position and couldn't move much.

Hua Shi took the used silver needle and handed it to a student assistant, and when he saw that the second prince wanted to get up, he beckoned the two palace maids standing at the door to approach. But he just helped the second prince to turn him over. After covering the brocade quilt, he got up from the edge of the couch, stood with the other two imperial doctors, and saluted the prince who was lying on his back on the couch.

"No courtesy." The second prince, Wang Hong, didn't even have the strength to raise his hand at this time, so he could only open his mouth. His voice was extremely weak.

His pupils rolled, and he looked at the people in the inner room of the dormitory in turn, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he said again: "Which slave maid went to the Imperial Medical Bureau, and for what reason, you want to invite three medical officers?" ”

The two palace maids who had served him just now and were still standing in the corner of the couch heard this, and their delicate hands in front of them couldn't help but clench, and their lips moved. But he wanted to speak and stopped. What Hua Shixian had just instructed the two medical officers, the two slaves and maids also heard.

It was still Hua Shixian who took half a step forward, signaling that the two palace maids could retreat, and then he bowed to the prince on the couch and explained: "Your Highness's injuries tend to suddenly worsen, and Weichen and the other three medical officers came together. After some diagnosis and treatment, there are still a few questions I would like to ask His Highness, so that we can choose the medicine more clearly. For this reason, it is necessary to awaken His Highness's exhausted spirit, and ask His Highness for forgiveness. ”

"The Chinese medical officer is dedicated to thinking about the sick, what is the crime." The second prince, Wang Hong, spoke weakly. The words became shorter, "Ask." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince......" The first person to inquire was the chief physician Zhao, and he pondered and said: "Did Your Highness go outside last night, so you contracted the cold?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Hong gradually condensed his gaze, and after calmly looking at Imperial Doctor Zhao for a moment, he said at a very slow pace: "Because of the matter of Your Majesty, this palace did have some insomnia last night. Although I rested early because of physical fatigue, I was always in good spirits. In the middle of the night, Hongu got up and walked outside, thinking that he would be able to fall asleep if he was a little more tired. ”

Sure enough, as Hua Shi expected, Imperial Doctor Zhao thought silently in his heart after listening to the prince's answer. However, it was also because of the speculation that Hua Shixian had expressed, Imperial Doctor Zhao quickly asked again: "Forgive Weichen for taking the liberty of daring to ask where His Highness has been?" ”

"Why did Doctor Zhao ask such questions?" Because what he experienced last night had to be kept secret for the time being, when he suddenly heard Imperial Doctor Zhao's inquiry, the prince's face suddenly revealed a trace of displeasure.

The question asked by Imperial Doctor Zhao was too coincidental, and it hit Wang Hong's concerns, so no matter how gentle the tone of voice used when this question was asked, Wang Hong, who was strong in his spirit, would not have much patience to deal with it.

After a pause, the second prince Wang Hong thought of the word "wind cold" mentioned in Imperial Doctor Zhao's previous words, and vaguely realized a problem, so he compiled another sentence to cover up: "Just walk around the rockery in the small garden a few times, can this also be a problem?" ”

The prince wasn't sure if Imperial Doctor Zhao already knew something, so his rhetorical question actually had two meanings. As soon as he came to walk around the rockery a few times, he suffered from the wind cold and fell ill, which was really beyond his expectations; The second is a temptation: is there any constraint in your own bedroom that you can't walk in the court?

Just moved his mind slightly, Wang Hong suddenly felt a sense of tiredness sweeping over his head like a tidal wave, and before he could hear what the medical officers asked behind, his consciousness couldn't help but blur, and he fell asleep again.

"Your Highness?" Imperial Doctor Zhao was halfway through his speech when he suddenly noticed that the situation of the prince on the couch was different. After inquiring and making sure that the prince had suddenly fallen asleep, he didn't dare to disturb it any longer, but just let out a long breath of silence.

Hua Shi, who had given the needle to the prince just now, saw this situation, so he whispered: "Your Highness is originally awake from the strong beating, so it is easy to distract at any time. ”

The Imperial Doctor Feng, who was invited by the palace maid last night, walked to the side of the couch and checked the pulse of the sleeping prince again, and was silent for a moment, then he stood up and said to the two colleagues: "It's the wind and cold, let's take the medicine as such." ”

Wind chill and fever were discussed by the three imperial doctors before, and at this time, the opinions were once again unanimous. Thinking that this gentle-tempered prince has a virtuous and ruthless mother-in-law, the three imperial doctors visited Huayang Palace this time. I can't help but be a little too cautious.

After preparing the medicine and handing it over to the two students to be responsible for decoction, the three imperial doctors walked out of the Huayang Palace, and they couldn't help but sigh a few times.

Walk in the courtyard of the gentleman planted with pine and bamboo. The palace behind it was gradually shaded by pine and bamboo, and in front of the winding path paved with round cobblestones, half of the rockery mentioned by the prince just now gradually appeared.

This rockery was built by the defeated monarch of the previous dynasty with a lot of money, although the mountain is artificially shaped, but the essence is a whole stone that is actually moved down from the Tianmai Peak.

There is a record in the archives of the Ministry of Industry of the former dynasty, this solid mountain stone weighs more than 10,000 jun, 73 years ago when it was mined from the Tianmai Peak by the craftsmen, because the Tianmai Peak is extremely steep, it does not use the power of cattle and horses, and the whole process is carried by manpower. Slave labor amounted to thousands.

According to another historian's document, in the process of transporting this huge mountain rock, more than 20 slave laborers died because they stumbled and slipped down the steep rock cliff, and 14 people were disabled. In addition, when quarrying, he was accidentally chiseled through the palm of his hand with a chisel, his fingers were broken by a hammer and disabled, and he was killed by repeated exposure to the sun and forced labor on the top of the mountain. For this rockery, sixty slave laborers were lost on Tianmai Peak alone.

The number of sixty is exactly the length of the years when the last defeated monarch of the previous dynasty ordered the quarrying of stones until the death of the country.

Ironically, according to the records of the previous dynasties, the intention of the deceased monarch to pick this boulder is said to have been the result of the "Asking the Heavens" by the chief official of the Qin Heavenly Prison at that time. It is said that there is this megalith guarding the palace. Able to protect the emperor and stabilize dìng.

Such a heavy boulder may still be able to be shaken in the slightest in the face of the change of earth cracking, but the monarch of the former dynasty did not have time to punish the chief official of the Qin Heavenly Prison for another heavy survey error.

Huyang County, where the new Kyoto is located, is now like a vast imperial capital, but its owner has already changed to another family. If the Tianmai Peak Boulder can really suppress and protect something. It is no longer for the sake of the former monarch.

Unlike the pair of fierce lion stone sculptures left over from the previous dynasty were moved around, and finally lost to the gate of the Commander's Mansion, this rockery, which originally landed in the prince's hall of the East Palace of the former dynasty, was only moved once after the establishment of the new dynasty. It was moved to the courtyard in front of Huayang Palace. Everyone who visits Huayang Palace, but who walks the main road of the vestibule, will inevitably be able to see it when they come and go.

More than 10 years ago, when this huge rock was moved, it was just carried on the ground, and hundreds of people of Yulinwei sweated like rain, and it is hard to imagine how many coolie slave laborers may be lost when this huge mountain stone is transported from the former emperor Jingye to Huyang, New Kyoto.

It is conceivable that the two preserved case files of the previous dynasty are likely to have many details about this rockery that have not been recorded. At that time, for this piece of silent and unrelenting stubborn stone, I don't know how many fresh lives that were recorded outside the case were lost into it.

This boulder quarried from the treacherous Tianmai Peak on the mountain road itself was created by a group of skilled craftsmen collected by the monarch of the previous dynasty to create a prosperous market scene.

On the top of the rockery, there is a Taoist temple with a very fairy wind artistic conception, there is a silver-bearded Taoist who shakes the dust in his hand to pinch his fingers to measure the heavenly machine in the high pavilion of the view, and there is also a young Taoist priest who sits and plays against each other in the courtyard of the Taoist temple, and his face is contemplative.

In the dense forest on the mountainside, hunters carrying old branches and bows and carrying dead beasts can be seen faintly, as well as a few woodcutters who are cutting trees.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a lake, and the people are gathered into a town, and the atmosphere of the market is strong. The businessmen selling meat and vegetables and selling groceries on the streets of the town have different expressions and expressions, as do passers-by who are buying or just hanging out.

There are also a few children kneeling or lying on the ground at the bottom of the street, playing with iron beads, this rockery scenery is carved according to one-third of the proportion of real people, but the scene of those children playing with iron beads is to carve the number of small iron beads rolling in two scratching rings on the ground are clearly countable.

If you don't read the old archives kept by the Ministry of Works, it is really hard to imagine that such a thing, which seems to be rich in meaning and beauty on the surface, has been stained with the blood of so many coolie slave laborers, like an evil spirit.

This rockery will be cleaned every half a month by the palace maid with water, and the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering will come to paint the paint color once a year. The rockery has been finished for so many years, because the stone itself is of high quality, but there is no loss of stone carving, at most the paint color has changed.

Standing in front of this rockery, Hua Shixian, the imperial doctor who is good at silver needles, fixed his eyes on the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, and his eyes were fixed on the eaves of the main building in the view. Suddenly, he was a little puzzled: "Although this rockery is vividly shaped, when the night falls, the delicate things on the mountain are blurred, and there is really no value in stopping and appreciating." ”

Imperial Doctor Feng, who was standing beside him, raised his eyes to find him, and his gaze was also looking at the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. His eyes stopped at the Taoist pavilion. Looking at the silver-bearded Taoist who was standing in the high pavilion and making a gesture of pinching his fingers to count the sky, he opened his mouth with Hua Shixian's words: "What do you mean by this, are you wondering about the answer of the Second Highness just now?" Walking around the mountain is not necessarily to see the scenery, maybe to grasp the distance, I heard the people from the Ministry of Industry say that walking twice on the cobblestone path around the rockery is a mile away. ”

Hua Shixian did not immediately respond to Imperial Doctor Feng's words, but Imperial Doctor Zhao, who was standing a few steps away from the other side, spoke at this time, and he said slowly: "Brother Shi Xian is referring to the slightly wet new mud on the soles of the prince's boots, right?" Yesterday was indeed not the day when the slaves and maids in the palace washed the rockery every month, even if the prince had been near the rockery. It is also impossible to get your shoes wet. What's more, even if you don't consider this, just say that the distance between this rockery and the dormitory, if the prince just has insomnia at night, it is just enough to sit up and read a book for a while, there is really no need to detour to the vicinity of the rockery. ”

Imperial Physician Feng listened to Imperial Physician Zhao's reasoning. Suddenly realized a problem, and immediately echoed: "Yes, with the prince's poor physique in recent days, the people in Huayang Palace will also dissuade him from going out of the house at night." ”

Once again, one of the three imperial physicians agreed.

But Hua Shixian quickly sighed again, and said leisurely: "But what can you do if you determine this?" We, the medical officers who are subordinates and have little power, cannot insist on seeking truth from a prince for this reason. The second highness is no different from a cold and fever. But where he went last night and got the cold, we can't ask. ”

Hua Shixian's words fell, and the three imperial doctors looked at each other for a while, speechless.

Hua Shi's words were full of helplessness, but the most helpless thing in the world was the most practical, and it was so practical that it made people tired. Because you can't change it.

"Rockery, rockery......" Hua Shixian raised his chin slightly, and his eyes seemed to fall on the Taoist temple on the top of the rockery, and it seemed to float to the sky of the unknown bottom with his thoughts. He put the next half of the sentence "meaning fake country? He swallowed back into his throat without leaving a trace, leaving only an empty and meaningless sigh.

After Hua Shi became a famous family in the medical field, he came to Beijing alone seven years ago. He was promoted to a medical officer, full of the desire to serve the new dynasty with his own ability. And he will have this ambition, which is related to the place where the new dynasty was founded, the new monarch released the medicine ghost Liao Shi who killed the former empress dowager in the heavenly prison, and the many changes that streamlined the doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau but improved the honorary status of the doctors.

With his reliable skills, the famous doctor Hua Shixian was successfully admitted to the Taiyi Bureau in one fell swoop when he first entered Beijing. As long as he has real skills, he can get more equal treatment from the monarch of the new dynasty, which did not disappoint Hua Shixian's expectations.

When he first entered the Taiyi Bureau, Hua Shixian only worked as a student for two years, and then he was promoted to a medical worker, and after another year, he was directly promoted to the rank of the nine doctors of the Imperial Court, enjoying the qualifications of the medical reserve of the Taiyi Bureau, as well as the honor of the prince and marquis. Behind the rapid promotion of a newcomer's status, in addition to his own hard work, there is also the kindness of the son of heaven.

Meritorious rewards, those who can get it, Xinjun has achieved accurate division at this point, and the measures are very convincing.

But after seven years in such a Taiyi Bureau, Hua Shixian was a little tired of it.

Perhaps if this state of his heart is made public, some people will definitely accuse him of living too stable and carefree, so that this kind of casual thought of not knowing how to repay the emperor's kindness will arise. But there are definitely some people who will echo this idea, because the canary in the cage will also have the desire to leap out of the delicate and gorgeous bird's cage, and give up a full stomach and delicious food, just to fly to the open sky and spread its wings to the fullest.

It's not just that the imperial doctor has this idea similar to Hua Shixian's heart, the difference is that he only thinks about it occasionally, or gradually thinks about it every day.

Joining the Imperial Palace Ouchi Imperial Hospital, the scope of activities is fixed, and you can't go wherever you want like the medicine ghost Liao Shi, who is currently only living in legends. And the potential of the medical Tao is obviously not only in the tens of thousands of words of medical books collected by the imperial medical department, but in the vast world. Although Kyoto is a prosperous medical practitioner, it is far from enough to summarize the energy of the entire medical industry.

As a royal honorary medical officer, he enjoys a dazzling status at the top, but it is not very convenient to accept apprentices at the bottom. Medical officers have to go through a set of more cumbersome regulations to accept apprentices, because of this threshold, although the medical children who can get started are not bad in character, they will inevitably miss some seedlings of geniuses who are from low backgrounds but have a talented way of thinking and studying medicine.

The imperial physician appointed by the emperor was not yet able to treat civilian patients, but from a side perspective, the complexity of the patient's procedures could improve the doctor's experience and medical skills. At present, Hua Shi is staying in the Taiyi Bureau, except that the medicinal materials are carefully selected before entering the palace, and even the objects of treatment services are fixed, and he can't have them, or he shouldn't think of new attempts at all, which really greatly imprisons his willingness to make progress.

And what annoyed him the most was that in this relatively fixed medical service group, there was an old patient like Wang Hong, the second prince.

The second prince's weakness has not been completely recovered, and the frequent recurrence of the illness has caused Hua Shixian, who is behind a famous medical family, to be very shocked.

Although the attitude of all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau on this matter has gradually been put on a level, that is, the prince's deficiency is born insufficient, and the acquired medical skills can only be maintained as much as possible.

For example, many years ago, the medicine ghost Liao Shineng made the dying former queen mother wake up immediately, and her complexion was also vivid, but it became a trace of returning to the light, and within a month, the old queen mother died of complete illness.

There is a lesson from the previous car, so none of the imperial doctors can cure the prince's deficiency disease, although there is no merit, but it cannot be rated as dereliction of duty and can only continue to eat dry rice.

After the medicine ghost Liao Shi was released from the prison more than ten years ago, he has never been found back in Beijing. No one mentioned yì for him to give it a try, and after more than ten years, he has improved a lot of the method of healing the former dead ghost queen mother, and he can really cure the prince's deficiency and completely cut off the root of the disease?

No one mentioned it, which seems to prove that no one can change the status quo of the second prince lingering on the sickbed.

But Hua Shixian doesn't think so, he comes from a family of doctors, and the family concept of practicing medicine has been passed down from generation to generation for more than 100 years.

If it is a disease, there is a cure.

It may take more than one attempt before discovering a precise cure, and perhaps some of the wrong ways to correct it.

But now that he is in the Imperial Medical Bureau, he has not even had a chance to try, or he is almost cut off, and many ideas are left in his mind, which makes his mind swell and uncomfortable.

Three years ago, the second prince Wang Hong went to the east coast with the royal car to watch the spring shipping ceremony, and it was not surprising that he fell ill after returning. But the result of that illness was a bit bizarre, because since the recovery from that illness, the prince seems to have drifted away from the deficiency that has plagued him for many years, and has maintained a relatively strong physical state, and this good state has not changed for nearly three years.

This strange incident naturally could not be avoided from the occasional talk of the doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau after tea and dinner, and the reason why the prince's weak physique, which had been riddled with illnesses for many years, was greatly improved, and gradually surfaced above the fog.

It turned out that the reason why Imperial Doctor Ye, who was also among the nine doctors of the imperial court three years ago, resigned, was not because he accidentally fell from a horse and injured his spine and could no longer stand for a long time, but because he used a dose of fierce medicine on the way back from that visit.

This fierce medicine is comparable to the medicine ghost Liao Shi's methods, and the second prince will fall ill that day, probably because of the use of this medicine. Otherwise, even if the second prince is weak, he will not just blow a gust of sea breeze and come back so sick.

- If that were the case, His Majesty might not have taken him to a windy place like the seaside at all!
