- When Huayang Palace was built more than ten years ago, Wang Hong was just a child, and he didn't remember much about the whole process of building Huayang Palace. However, such important information related to the construction of the imperial family's dormitory, no matter how long the time has passed, as long as the lord of Nanzhao is still a member of his royal family, this information can be found in the archives of the Ministry of Industry.

Just now he insisted on coming in to take a look, because he suspected that this secret passage had an ill-intentioned use, and now this can be roughly ruled out, so whether to find out today, or to send someone to investigate thoroughly in the future, there is no need to enforce a time charter.

- What's more, if this secret passage is really the work of that person, with Xiao Xing's shallow understanding of the secret technique of the Qi Gate, the possibility that she can touch the door of this secret passage today is even more slim.

"A moment." Wang Hong repeated what he had said earlier, paused slightly, and then continued: "At this point in today's matter, I am also a little tired. If this secret passage had been designed in the drawings at the beginning of the construction of the palace, it would not be a secret that cannot be traced. Another day, I went to the Ministry of Industry to look through the old year's files, and I could see the difference. ”

Seeing that the prince had expressed his intentions to this journey, Xiao Xing didn't say anything more, nor did he rest for a while, and soon set off to devote himself to the second "attempt".

Li Shi watched the thin girl jump from side to side in the secret passage like a stray arrow, and at this time her eyes had slightly adjusted to some of the phantoms that made people easily dizzy, and gradually understood what the girl's way of temptation was.

※※※※※※

On the night he came out of the secret passage, the second prince Wang Hong's illness was a little severe. It's just that he has been plagued by hypocrisy since he was a child. He has become accustomed to or developed a kind of patience, and if it were not for the excessive discomfort of his body, he would not have seen anything abnormal on the surface.

Until the light of day outside, on the couch with a silk tent in the inner room of the dormitory, the people who fell asleep last night still did not move at all.

The palace maids knew that His Royal Highness had left the palace yesterday evening and returned tired, so no one went to visit him in the morning. When Concubine De came last night, she also said that the prince didn't have to get up early to ask for peace in the past few days.

Although the palace maids and eunuchs in Huayang Palace are highly virtuous, some rules are not required to be done, but it is also because of this. All the servants in this prince's residence are more considerate of their master's wishes. It's not just about following the rules.

Even if Concubine De didn't come last night, there would be no palace maid to disturb the prince today. Even if there were, the servant who went would only enter the inner room gently, if the master did not respond. It will gently retreat again. It's like I've never been there.

However, this has been done many times in the past. Today, however, there was an accident.

The second prince, Wang Hong, slept until noon, and still did not make the slightest movement to get up, from the perspective of the servants of Huayang Palace. That's kind of weird.

All the servants know that His Royal Highness the Prince is a very diligent person, only saying that reading in the morning and reading at night is a compulsory thing to do every day after getting up and before going to bed, and it rarely stops. Yesterday, His Royal Highness stopped reading at night because he was unwell, and he also stopped reading in the morning today, which is a matter of common sense.

But His Highness never got up so late, and even when he got up, he couldn't do much, and most of the time he spent himself in a quiet and quiet place or reading a book or playing chess and playing the piano, but when he could sit, he would never be happy to lie down.

You can still do something while sitting, but you can do something when you're lying down. There was a time when His Highness used to say this.

When several palace maids in Huayang Palace gradually realized a feeling of unease, and after a little discussion, they finally couldn't help it, and when they opened the silk tent without the permission of His Royal Highness the Prince, they were immediately frightened by the prince's pale but somewhat weirdly flushed face.

Although these servants all knew that the prince they were waiting for was a very patient person, from a certain point of view, this was actually a master who was not very easy to serve. Because his pain cannot be expressed in time, and by the time he can no longer bear it, the sickness that often plagues him has often reached a point of collapse.

It was also because of the weak constitution of the second prince that Huayang Palace chose a location closer to the Taiyi Bureau at the beginning of the new repair, but on the way to the Taiyi Bureau, several palace maids only felt as if they had run for hundreds of miles in a row, and their legs were already a little weak in their bones.

And looking at the gate of the Taiyi Bureau, which was no longer a few steps away in front of them, the last bit of the road seemed to them as if they were stepping on a ladder on the clouds, and it was rare that they couldn't even take half a step.

※※※※※※

Knowing that the second prince's condition was repeated, three imperial doctors came to the Imperial Medical Bureau together.

According to the usual practice, the prince is in poor health, but there is no need to use so many doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau at once. Compared with the previous dynasty, the Taiyi Bureau in the new dynasty is very staffed. There are only nine main imperial doctors, and three more were removed three years ago for some reason, and they have not been filled in since, so there are only six people on the post in the list of nine doctors. These six people perform their own duties, and the daily workload is quite large.

Unlike other officials, medical officers do many things that cannot be done verbally. At most, the students and medicine children in the Taiyi Bureau can do some things to catch medicines, boil them, and deliver medicines according to prescriptions, and as for the patient's pulse, complexion, and other problems, the medical officer needs to visit them in person.

Let's just say that a trip to General Xuanwei's mansion, a round trip plus the time spent on diagnosis and treatment can occupy more than three hours for an imperial doctor, which is almost equivalent to using half of the time that an imperial doctor is on duty in a day. The old general made outstanding contributions on the battlefield in his early years, and participated in an important step in the history of the founding of the Nanzhao Dynasty, for the recurrence of his old injuries, the emperor sent one of the nine doctors to cook full-time, and in the last few days, there were actually only five imperial doctors in the Imperial Doctor Bureau.

Of course, the emperor also knew that the daily workload of the Taiyi Bureau had almost doubled due to the excessive downsizing of personnel, so a decree had been issued a long time ago. Even if the imperial relatives are transferred to the imperial doctor, they can only go to one person at a time, and there is no hard limit on the number of companions of the students.

In fact, the emperor would draw up such a will, not only in order to reduce the burden on the Imperial Medical Bureau. For most pathologies. These doctors who can be promoted to the rank of nine doctors are enough to deal with it alone, and there is no need for multiple medical consultations. In addition, for ordinary cases, if there are a few more doctors involved in the treatment, there may be differences of opinion that the treatment is not beneficial.

The nobles who lived in the orderly and stable Kyoto were sick for nothing more than that--for this, even the imperial doctors had their own records, and they were often invited to go by a certain prefecture as if they were in a hurry, and the causes and prescriptions they finally diagnosed were actually old-fashioned--not everyone was like the one who played with fire three years ago, and he was obviously extremely calm. But there is a slight movement. put his life in half.

Today, in order to diagnose and treat the second prince who lives in the palace, the three imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau were mobilized at once, and almost all the main doctors in the bureau were consumed, except because His Royal Highness's condition had indeed changed quite strictly. And because of these three people. Two of them had been involved in treating His Highness before that. For His Highness's injuries suddenly worsened. These two people are inseparable from their responsibilities.

But to be specific, there should be a third person like the imperial doctor who can't get rid of his responsibilities like these two. And it is likely that he will bear the heaviest responsibility for this, but he did not come.

The imperial doctors in the Nine Doctors of the Taiyi Bureau are roughly the same, and if you want to say the difference, the main reason is that the field of expertise is slightly offset. For example, these doctors have all learned the ability of silver acupuncture points, but if you want to say that the real master, it is also a Chinese physician whose ancestors have specialized in the knowledge of meridians and acupoints in the human body for five generations. And if you want to talk about the use of herbs in medicine, Doctor Hua is difficult to compare with the imperial doctor surnamed Chen who added "monkey grass" to gold sore medicine.

The method of adding "monkey grass" to the gold sore medicine has saved the lives of many soldiers. "Monkey Grass" does have an excellent effect on accelerating the healing of trauma, and the faster the wound heals, the more you can avoid the danger of injury deterioration.

As for the adverse effect of this herb on causing human body heat, how can the soldiers on the battlefield have so much consideration, and the soldiers with strong physiques can directly ignore this discomfort.

The words of the imperial doctor who was invited to Huayang Palace last night could not be regarded as interceding for Imperial Doctor Chen, and the use of the safety process of "Monkey Pu Cao" was indeed equivalent to indirectly using the body of thousands of soldiers to test, and there was no problem. As for how there was a problem with the use of the second prince, the root of the problem should not be on the medicine, but in the negligence of Imperial Doctor Chen.

Yesterday evening, he should have considered that this prince's physique was too weak, and he had to be cautious about using drugs that were slightly more irritating to his body. He missed this, not only because most of his attention was on the emperor at that time, but also because he had not considered the slightest risk of "monkey grass" for a long time.

For pharmacology, every action has its own considerations, and the law of its existence cannot be denied because of human forgetfulness. And for the sake of this little bit of pharmacology that can be ignored, Imperial Doctor Chen may not be able to avoid responsibility.

But I'm afraid only the second prince knows in his heart what the real reason is that his injury became worse overnight.

From a big point of view, Imperial Doctor Chen and "Monkey Pucao" are innocent.

※※※※※※

Except for Imperial Doctor Zhao, who had been mainly responsible for treating the sword wound on the second prince's hand a few days ago, and the Imperial Doctor Feng who came last night, the third person who came with him was the Imperial Doctor Hua, who was good at administering needles.

Hua Shixian shared more than a dozen thin silver needles to puncture, and the needle application time was a little long. The two palace maids standing at the door from a distance quietly glanced at each other, and saw that the prince was still lying on the couch in a coma, with so many sharp needles standing on his back, which made the palace maid look frightened and frightened.

The palace maids only thought it was an embroidery needle, and each one was as painful as a thorn in their fingertips, and their hearts felt a pang of guilt. His Royal Highness the prince suffered this kind of suffering, most likely because they did not serve well. They have the leniency that their masters usually treat them, and after this incident, they don't know what kind of punishment will come.

Imperial Doctor Zhao and Imperial Doctor Chen, who were standing in front of the couch, had both learned the art of silver needle acupuncture, although they were not as proficient in this way as Hua Shixian, but with the essentials of this kind of medical skill they mastered, of course, they knew that the silver needle accurately pierced the acupoint, and there would not be any obvious pain. However, after some acupuncture, the acupuncture array began to work, mobilizing the body's qi and blood, and whether it was comfortable or painful at that time was really going to be revealed.

So although they didn't think like those palace maids, they wouldn't feel terrible because the prince had a few more stitches in his back. But when Hua Shi finished his idle stitching, they couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

When he pulled out the last three silver needles, Hua Shixian's hand paused slightly, he looked sideways at the two colleagues with slightly condensed eyes, and asked hesitantly: "Wangwen and Wen are one, do you need to ask the Second Highness about the matter?" ”

The two imperial physicians, Zhao and Feng, were first slightly stunned when they heard this, and then Imperial Physician Feng asked quickly: "Why, what does Doctor Hua mean is that whether His Royal Highness is awake or not at this time is under your control?" ”

There was no malice in Imperial Doctor Feng's words. With his many years of experience working with Huashi. Hua Shixian said this at this time, it was indeed easy for him to understand it so much.

"I have already crossed the acupoint with a silver needle to force the qi and blood meridians, and the high fever on the body of the Second Highness has gradually subsided. After that, it is carefully conditioned with a decoction. This body temperature can stabilize dìng. Hua Shixian sighed when he said this. Then he continued: "His Royal Highness has been burning all night. Although people are lying down, they are actually in the midst of illness all the time, and they cannot be regarded as rest. At this point, the heat was suppressed. can get a moment of real leisure, and it is certainly best not to disturb him at this time. But...... Looking at this matter from my experience in diagnosis, I always feel that there is something strange about His Second Highness's illness, so I think you should ask him so that you can not delay the accurate preparation of the decoction. ”

Imperial Doctor Zhao, who had been mainly silent since entering Huayang Palace, opened his mouth and asked, "Why did Doctor Hua say this?" What exactly do you think is the oddity? ”

"There was no rain in Kyoto last night, but the soles of His Highness's boots were stained with some fresh mud. Don't be surprised, sometimes it is necessary to understand the daily activities of a patient in order to treat a patient accurately, and it does not depend entirely on medical theories. Hua Shixian paused slightly, and then continued: "The sudden aggravation of His Second Highness's injury, at this time, the three of you and I can discuss whether it is the cause of the 'Monkey Pucao' or some other reason. ”

The two imperial doctors, Zhao and Feng, gradually understood, and at this time, Hua Shixian still remembered in his heart to try his best to exonerate the imperial doctor Chen who did not come, or find a reason to reduce his responsibility. The two imperial doctors first expressed their kindness and gratitude to Hua Shixian for this, but they didn't know what they thought of, and they soon became a little embarrassed.

nbsp; Hua Shixian had already said in advance, and it was best for the prince who had just subsided to be disturbed and continue to sleep for a while without being disturbed, but the two of them knew it, but they still had to disturb, and it seemed that this was a bit of a selfish attempt to ignore the patient.

But it's one thing to have such concerns, and Hua Shi's words can also be counted as doctor's orders. For example, the reason for the aggravation of the prince's injury, if it is not the cause of "Monkey Pucao", but some other reason, the details of the two imperial doctors of Zhao and Feng may be changed a little.

There was only a moment of silence, and Imperial Doctor Zhao, who was mainly responsible for treating the second prince's hand injury in the past few days, nodded his head.

If you are more careful on your side, firstly, it is for the sake of the patient's good, and secondly, maybe a certain suspicion of "Monkey Pucao" can be put aside together with the guilt that Imperial Doctor Chen fell on his head for no reason.

"Monkey Pucao" has really treated many people's injuries, Imperial Doctor Chen is just negligent for a while, and the Taiyi Bureau really can't be short of doctors anymore.

"Your Royal Highness's body has been worn out a lot in the past few days, and your physical strength has returned to the past, please make a long story short." Hua Shixian instructed again, and then turned his gaze back to the silver needle under his hand, and did not see him make any more movements, in fact, he slightly changed the order of taking the needle, and gently took the last three silver needles that were tied to the important acupoints behind the second prince.

After taking the needle, Hua Shi stretched out his fingers and slowly pushed it behind the back of the second prince. Soon, the flat inch between the prince's eyebrows wrinkled again, and his eyelids twitched a few times, and he opened his eyes and woke up.

The most likely cause to wake a sleeping person is the feeling of pain in addition to the extremely loud noise.

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, leaving only a pale background, he frowned and woke up, and the idiots knew how uncomfortable he would 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 Shixian took the used silver needle and handed it to a student assistant, seeing that the second prince wanted to get up, he beckoned the two palace maids standing at the door to approach, but only helped the second prince to help him turn over. After covering the brocade quilt, he got up from the edge of the couch. Standing with the other two imperial doctors, they bowed to 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, and 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. Hua Shixian just instructed the two medical officers. Their two slaves and maidservants also heard it.

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. Wei Chen and three other medical officers came together. After some diagnosis and treatment. There are still a few questions I would like to ask Your Highness, so that you can choose the ingredients 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 a sin. The second prince, Wang Hong, spoke weakly, and his 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 can't help but be a little too cautious on this trip to Huayang Palace.

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.

Walking in the courtyard of the gentleman planted with pine and bamboo, the palace behind is gradually covered by the shade of 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 appears.

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.

The Ministry of Industry of the former dynasty has a record, and this solid mountain stone weighs more than 10,000 jun. Seventy-three years ago, when it was mined from Tianmai Peak by craftsmen, because Tianmai Peak was extremely steep, it could not use the power of cattle and horses, and the whole process was carried by manpower, and thousands of slave laborers were used.

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. Just on the Heavenly Vein Peak, sixty slave laborers were lost.

Sixty is the number. It is the length of the year when the last defeated monarch of the previous dynasty ordered the quarrying 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. Reputedly. There is this megalith town guarding the palace. Able to protect the emperor and stabilize dìng.

Such a heavy boulder. It may be that in the face of the change of the earth crack, it can still be unshaken in the slightest, but the monarch of the former dynasty failed to punish the chief official of the Qin Heavenly Prison for another mistake in the survey.

Koyo-gun, where New Kyoto is located. Now it seems to be a vast imperial capital, but its owner has already changed to another family. If the Tianmai Peak Boulder can really suppress and protect anything, it will no longer be for the monarch of the previous dynasty.

Unlike the pair of fierce lion stone carvings left by the previous dynasty were moved around, and finally lost to the gate of the Commander's Mansion to guard the door, 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, that is, it was moved to the front courtyard 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, the imperial doctor Hua Shixian, 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, and he suddenly said with some puzzlement: "Although this rockery is shaped vividly, when the night falls, the delicate things on the mountain are blurred, and there is really no value of 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, but his eyes stopped at the Taoist temple. 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. 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, and even if the prince had been near the rockery, it was impossible for him to get his 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 Doctor Feng listened to Imperial Doctor Zhao's reasoning, and suddenly realized a problem, and immediately echoed: "That's right." 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 exactly he went last night was cold. We can't afford to ask. ”

Hua Shixian's voice fell. The three imperial doctors looked at each other for a while, speechless.

Hua Shixian's words were full of helplessness, but the most helpless thing in the world was the most practical. It's so frustrating that 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 Shixian became a famous family in the medical field, he came to Beijing alone seven years ago and was promoted to the medical officer, full of the willingness 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.
