Chapter 491: Hundred Birthdays

King Guangping was finally moved by Zhao Xiu and Gao Zhen's joint efforts. He didn't mention whether he wanted to regain his sight or anything, but he no longer refused to accept Dr. Ye's pulse. In front of Dr. Ye, he only said that he asked the other party to do his best, and he didn't need to think too much, because he just hoped that his body could be adjusted better, and his eyes were secondary.

But Zhao Xiu can see that he still hopes to regain his eyesight and see the world again.

She whispered to Gao Zhen: "Although the prince agreed, it is best for you to still write to Jingzhong, and tell the queen mother and the emperor that the prince is tired this New Year, and he takes everyone to check the accounts for days, and he is a little unwell." You have found a doctor with good medical skills for the prince here, and you want to take care of the prince's body, so you can't return to Beijing for the time being. I boldly say that the case of the Haibang Dam is now very involved, and if it really has to be tried, it may drag on for three or five months, and the prince's body may not be able to bear it. When the case is over, he will definitely have a good reputation again, but I am afraid that the one in the palace will not know what to think. The prince was tired of himself, delayed the treatment, and aroused suspicion, which was simply worth the loss, so it was better to simply write and resign. Let the emperor send another confidant minister to handle the case, and ask others to do things that offend people, and it is serious for the prince to cure himself first. There is Zeng Shilang in the horizontal and vertical, the case has been revealed, and the evidence is complete, it is impossible for the emperor to send an unreliable person to deal with such a big case, so that the guilty person can escape. ”

Gao Zhen thought about it and felt that it was right. The dike case has developed to this day, and it can be regarded as spreading in the south of the Yangtze River, and the court and the central government have long heard about it, and the courtiers, local officials, and families involved in the case do not know how many people are involved, and it is impossible for them to be suppressed lightly. Moreover, some of the officials involved in the case may have colluded with King Ying. The emperor will not let it go no matter what. Who is the next official in charge of trying the case will not affect the overall situation. The credit of King Guangping has been accomplished, and no one can erase it. But his duty as an envoy is not to investigate corruption. It is not to arrest people and try cases, but to accept the seaside dam. Now his mission is complete. Even if there is a problem with the dam, it is the fault of the local government, the government has to repair the embankment first, and the matter of supervising the work still needs to be done by the king of Guangping? He might as well take the initiative to avoid suspicion. In the eyes of the person in the palace, maybe he can get a good evaluation that doesn't value power.

He went to tell King Guangping, and King Guangping sighed and said, "Is this also what Sister Xiu'er reminded you?" Oh my stupid son. You should have thought of this kind of thing yourself. ”

Gao Zhen was a little embarrassed: "My son is just a little wronged for his father, obviously you have put so much effort into it......"

King Quang Binh interrupted him: "As long as my efforts are not in vain, it will be enough. What's the matter? I'm not good at adjudicating cases in the first place, so this kind of thing should be done by someone who is good at it. I have summoned the palace book and ordered him to draft a chapter for me, and ask the emperor to resign from his post as a messenger. This is almost in front of the door, isn't it? ”

Gao Zhen only knew. It turned out that King Guangping had already had this intention. Zhao Xiu just happened to have the same idea as him. He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, as a son of man, his thoughts about his father were not as clear as Zhao Xiu's. He began to examine his own mistakes. Maybe...... He still has an obsession with power in his heart, and he can't trust the Son of Heaven in Beijing, so he is reluctant to give up the power in his hands, right? His father is much more open-minded than him, and Zhao Xiu is also open-minded. He should learn from them and think long-term. Compared with power, isn't it that my father's health is heavier?

The recital of King Quang Binh was quickly written. He gave a detailed introduction and summary of the work he had done, and asked the emperor to resign from the position of Qincha. But he begged the emperor to allow him to stay in Jiangnan for a longer time to recuperate. He had completed the task of the imperial mission, and the trial should have been carried out by a special official appointed by the emperor; Zeng Shilang can urge all localities to strengthen the seaside dam to prevent another tide from happening this summer and autumn; Deputy Envoy Zhao Wei has contributed a lot to the investigation of the case, knows the case well, and can assist the newly sent officials in investigating the case. In addition, there are a number of attachΓ©s, who is good at what things, what work was in charge of before, King Guangping made an introduction, hoping that the emperor can continue to appoint them, but also to make arrangements for his own people, lest as soon as he leaves, they will have no results.

The recital of King Guangping was well written, and the family letter of Gao Zhen, the son of King Guangping, was also sent to Beijing. He mentioned that his father was working hard and his body was tired, and he found a famous doctor to condition his body. This letter was written to the Empress Dowager Jiang, and even the recital of King Guangping was read together, and the Empress Dowager Jiang and the emperor could make up what was going on. Gao Zhen is a piece of filial piety, King Guangping is not powerful, and both father and son are good. They don't want to take care of things, they want to hide for a while, of course the queen mother will be considerate, and the emperor will gladly agree, maybe he will reward something. As for those who take over official duties, the emperor will naturally arrange them. If the case is tried well, it is a great merit, and it is a good opportunity to add seniority to the confidants. King Guangping, Zeng Shilang and Zhao Wei have already done half of the matter, if the people sent to do not even the remaining half can't handle it, wouldn't it be too incompetent? The king of Guangping wants to give credit, and the emperor can't let his people look too ugly.

The recital and the letter were sent out, and there would be no response for ten days and a half. The king of Guangping only handed over the affairs of repairing the embankment to Zeng Shilang, and handed over the matter of taking people to find evidence to Zhao Wei, and he was only responsible for taking charge of the general, and he was in Hangzhou to command remotely. Hangzhou is farther away, but it is also quieter, and there is no fear that the families of the officials involved in the case will come to plead for mercy.

Gao Zhen arranged for Dr. Ye to live in the garden, and asked the sixth room of the Zhao family to pull the strings, and found several time-honored pharmacies in Hangzhou, which could supply all kinds of medicinal materials to the king of Guangping to recuperate. The king of Guangping lived in the garden with peace of mind, followed Dr. Ye's instructions every day to drink medicine and acupuncture, and listened to him say some health preservation principles, and his life was quite leisurely.

Zhang listened to it once in a while, and he was also fascinated, and he came to the health lecture every day. Zhao Xiu had no choice but to accompany her to listen, and after listening to it a lot, she felt that she had benefited a lot.

Zhang began to feel that many of his past living habits were bad, but some of his granddaughter Zhao Xiu's ideas and practices were in line with the way of health preservation. She used to only think that her granddaughter was talking nonsense, and she didn't want to really make sense, and she couldn't help but regret that she didn't listen to her granddaughter before. But it's not too late now, she's only in her early fifties, and her body is okay, and she can live a few more years if she takes care of her body in the right way from now on. After making up his mind, Zhang's attitude became more serious, not only came to listen to Dr. Ye teach him the way of health preservation every day, but also brought a cheat sheet to take notes, and ordered his granddaughter Zhao Xiu to also make a copy, so as not to miss anything when she was old and slow.

Zhao Xiu was also helpless at first, but Dr. Ye seemed to have two brushes, and many of the health preservation methods he mentioned were tested by later generations for hundreds of years and proved to be beneficial to the body and mind. Seeing that this Dr. Ye is not very old, but he is about thirty years old, but he is a veritable famous doctor. Zhao Xiu also became serious, carefully wrote down what he said, and planned to compile it into a booklet in the future and pass it on to future generations.

Zhang was very much in favor of his granddaughter's idea. She asked herself that she had a lot of experience in the way of health preservation, and she had been reading medical books for many years, and she had a rich collection of medical books, but she didn't expect that what she knew was only scratching the surface, and there were many mistakes and omissions. Looking back on her life in the past few decades, she faintly regretted that if she had learned this knowledge a long time ago, maybe many of her relatives around her would not have died so early. Then she thought of the mother and daughter of the Mi family who had just been hot, Mrs. Mi was not in good health, if she could be diagnosed and treated by this powerful Dr. Ye, would it improve? If it weren't for the fact that King Guangping lived in the garden, it would not be convenient for her to take people in, so she would have invited Mrs. Mi to listen to the lecture a long time ago.

Zhao Xiu couldn't help but smile when he heard Zhang's sigh and asked what was going on: "What's so difficult about this?" It's not easy for my aunt and aunt to come in, but you and I can go out. We invited my cousin and cousin Mi to the Hongxiangwu next door. It's still where our people live. Zhang immediately reacted and hurriedly sent someone to post to Mrs. Mi.

Mrs. Mi got some health notes from Zhang's and Zhao Xiu, and Zhang's begged King Guangping to ask Dr. Ye to come to Hongxiangwu to check Mrs. Mi's pulse. The prescription given by Zhang before is good, but how can it compare to the prescription specially prescribed by a famous doctor of the previous generation after personally checking the pulse? After taking a few doses, Mrs. Mi felt much lighter. The father and daughter of Mi Province are also more at ease.

The 12th Flower Festival in February is Mi Yingzhi's birthday. Recently, the atmosphere in the city of Hangzhou was strange, and the political envoy of Zhejiang suddenly fell ill, but his wife and children returned to their hometowns at this time, leaving him sick in the official residence and closing the door. The Hangzhou government government also demoted several officials one after another, and it is said that they were relatives and friends with the officials in the yamen of the political envoys, and the two colluded to do illegal things, so they were dismissed. There were rumors in the city for a while. In this case, although Mi Yingzhi is a good match, it is not easy to do a big deal.

The Mi family only set up a small banquet at home, and held a simple ceremony for their daughter, inviting the Duchess of Jiannan County Zhang to be the guest, Zhao Xiu to be the praiser, and another local Hangzhou girl who was good friends with Mi Yingzhi, Xiuhong girl, Ren Yousi. The subordinate officials and daughters in the prefect's yamen all came, and the king of Guangping also sent people to reward them. Although such a ceremony is simple, it is rare and decent in the city of Hangzhou.

Even Zhao Weiyuan arrested people in Suzhou, and sent his confidants and family members to send carefully selected congratulatory gifts. Zhao Xiu secretly looked at it a few times and found that it was a set of exquisite gold and pearl jewelry, which was matched with Mi Yingzhi, and it was difficult for his brother to choose it. When she watched Mi Yingzhi play with that set of jewelry, the love in her eyes was also very relieved - it was rare that the little brother still knew a little bit of the ability to coax girls, otherwise if he even gave a birthday gift, it would be so stupid that people couldn't look at it directly, and she couldn't help her as a sister.

I don't want Zhang to look at the gift from his grandson, and suddenly remembered something: "Brother Wei is going to have a birthday in a few days, he was born on February 15, but unfortunately he is in a foreign country, and this birthday can't be celebrated for him." I can only make up for it when he comes back. ”

"February 15?" Mi Yingzhi listened, and her heart moved. Before she could say anything, Mrs. Mi had already laughed: "What a coincidence, Sister Ying'er's birthday is the Flower Dynasty Festival, and the world says that it is the birthday of the hundred flowers, but in Hangzhou, February 15 is the birthday of the hundred flowers." Their two cousins were both born on Baihua's birthday. ”

Zhang was surprised, blinked, and smiled: "That's really fate." ”

Mi Yingzhi lowered her head and blushed slightly. Zhao Xiu saw it in his eyes, and suddenly felt that his brother seemed to have hope. (To be continued......) R1292
