Chapter Seventy-Nine: Studying Medicine
Qin Qingfeng was in a hurry, probably because the blow was too big, causing him to have a knot in his chest again, and he couldn't get better after taking a lot of medicine.
Duanmu Rui went to visit again, and when he saw that Qin Qingfeng was very emaciated and still bedridden, he was very worried, and told him that he had been looking for evidence of the prime minister's corruption recently, and he believed that there would be eyebrows soon, so Qin Qingfeng nodded weakly.
Mrs. Qin looked at a very strong person, and she also wiped her tears from the sidelines, which made people feel sad.
When Duanmu Rui returned to the palace, he went to find Su Wanyan, who saw him looking worried, and asked him tentatively: "What is the prince worried about?" ”
Duanmu Rui told her about Qin Qingfeng's condition, she had heard that there had been a major incident in the court recently, and the crown prince was almost deposed, but she didn't know anything about Qin Qingfeng.
"Qin Taiwei is loyal and dedicated to the country and the people, because the emperor disliked the death of the prince last time, and this time he wanted to expose Prime Minister Qiu's corruption in court, but the evidence was hidden or dealt with by the prime minister, causing the emperor to be furious, and he actually said that he wanted him to go home to retire, plus the people of the prime minister's faction fell into the ground, and he was pitiful that he was upright and clean-sleeved, and he was so slandered that even the emperor who had always trusted him planned to abandon him."
Duanmu Rui said again, he could still feel a dull pain in his heart, he looked at Su Wanyan and said: "Such a rare pillar of the country, you can't let him die depressed, you understand medical science, medical skills are excellent, it is better to help this king do this favor and go to treat him." ”
This is the first time that Duanmu Rui has mentioned the matter of the court to Su Wanyan except for Su Sui, and it can be seen from his words and expression that he attaches great importance to this Qin Taiwei, as if he can personally understand the pain of Qin Taiwei.
"The prince is trying to win over Captain Qin, right?" Asked like this, Su Wanyan remembered the time when she heard him say to his subordinates outside the gate of his courtyard, marrying her, in addition to what the emperor wanted to see, he also had his own purpose, that is, to win over her father Su Sui.
She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she felt a little relieved when she thought that he gave her the housekeeping rights, and said in front of Liu Sanqiang that she was the only female protagonist in this palace, and she had recently taken the initiative to show favor to her.
Duanmu Rui also deliberately wanted her to understand and contact what he was doing, so he wanted her to help with this, but he didn't expect her to see through his mind at a glance.
He replied: "Yes, I have wanted to befriend him for a long time, but the time is not ripe, and I can't miss it again this time." And, in addition to the purpose of wooing, I also admire his integrity and Akagi, and I really want to help him. ”
"It's a pity that I'm more inclined to pharmacology, and I'm interested in researching some out-of-the-way drugs, and I'm not good at treating general diseases." Su Wanyan said regretfully.
Duanmu Rui was also a little disappointed, and wanted to say that he would think of another way, but Su Wanyan spoke again: "However, I can help you find a famous doctor through the Surprise Word Hall, it just so happens that we have an acquaintance." ”
"That's good, I'll leave this matter to you." Duanmu Rui's expression was a little relieved, mainly because Qin Qingfeng's condition was too serious, and he was very anxious.
Within two days, Su Wanyan found a famous doctor Dong Xian who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and Dong Xian learned that Qin Qingfeng was a person and was very willing to treat him.
Duanmu Rui brought Dong Xian and Su Wanyan to the Qin Mansion and introduced them to Qin Qingfeng, specifically saying that Su Wanyan was his princess, who knew medical science, and would assist Dong Xian on the side.
Qin Qingfeng learned that Dong Xian was a famous doctor, so he said a few words to him, but when he saw Su Wanyan, he naturally knew that she was Su Sui's daughter, but he didn't pay attention to it.
At that time, Qin Qingfeng's only son, Qin Shaojun, was serving sick, he was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who inherited Qin Qingfeng's upright and simple temperament.
He stood aside silently, observing without a trace, and actually recognized Dong Xian.
He said to his father: "My son was studying in Tonglu two years ago, and he happened to meet this gentleman who was rescuing an elderly man who was sick on the side of the road, and his classmate told his son that he was Dong Xian, a famous local doctor, who was skilled in medicine and was willing to give kindness, especially to the poor and willing to lend a hand, without asking for anything in return." I didn't expect to meet again at home today, father, your illness must be saved. ”
Qin Shaojun showed a happy look on his face, Qin Qingfeng nodded, and said weakly: "Then there is a labor doctor." ”
"Divine doctor, please leave your father's illness to you." Qin Shaojun said and gave Dong Xian a deep look.
Dong Xian also replied slightly, and said to their father and son: "Since you trust me, I will definitely do my best." ”
After Qin Qingfeng's diagnosis and treatment, he came out and talked to Su Wanyan for a while, and then prescribed the medicine, and Mrs. Qin immediately asked her subordinates to grab the medicine.
Su Wanyan told Duanmu Rui about the situation just now, and Duanmu Rui said: "Taiwei respects famous doctors, but his attitude towards you is the same as towards me, he doesn't trust you enough. ”
Su Wanyan felt that this little old man was a little stubborn, he still didn't trust people who helped him like this, but she knew that everyone who had some ability was like this, which was somewhat special, and Duanmu Rui was originally trying to do something, and she didn't blame others for thinking too much, so she was still very dedicated to treatment.
Dong Xian lived in Qin's mansion, Qin Shaojun waited for him in the morning and evening, Qin Shaojun respected Dong Xian very much, he was very interested in studying medicine, and he was familiar with many medical books, but Qin Qingfeng wanted him to go on a career and serve the imperial court, and he didn't want him to study medicine, so he suffered from no one to guide him.
This time, the famous doctor was by his side, and he would sometimes ask Dong Xian some questions, and Dong Xian would give him patient answers.
Su Wanyan also often goes in and out of the Qin Mansion, and she is familiar with Qin Shaojun when she comes and goes, seeing that he always follows Dong Xian, as long as Dong Xian talks about things related to medical science, he will look at Dong Xian with special admiration, listen very carefully, and sometimes write down some words on the paper, she is very curious.
When he had the opportunity, he asked him: "I see that you follow Dong Xian all day long, do you want to study medicine?" ”
Qin Shaojun said bitterly: "Yes, but my father doesn't like me to study medicine, and he wants me to take the imperial examination." I regard Doctor Dong as a role model to worship, he can't help but be a good doctor, and he is a person that I particularly admire, but it's a pity......"
He sighed, looking listless.
"And how are you studying?" Su Wanyan asked him, if he is not good at reading, wouldn't it be good to simply study medicine.
Qin Shaoyou snapped his fingers and said, "I passed the township exam the year before last, and now I am preparing for the exam." ”
Su Wanyan also calculated in her heart, and found that he was already a lifter at a young age, that is, when he was sixteen years old, thinking about the fact that someone was only admitted to the lifter at the age of fifty or sixty, and she was crazy with joy, she looked at Qin Shaojun's gaze with a color of worship. I thought that since you are so good at the test, it is better to take a career path.
Qin Shaojun said to her: "I see that the princess is familiar with Doctor Dong, can the princess help me, I want to worship Doctor Dong as a teacher and learn medical skills from him." ”
Su Wanyan saw that he was indeed obsessed with medical skills, but it would be a pity if he stopped taking the imperial examination with his qualifications, so she asked him: "If you want to learn medical skills, won't it conflict with your father's wishes?" ”
"I'll make it clear to my father."
Since he said this, he begged to come to himself again, and Su Wanyan helped him.
Qin Qingfeng has shown signs of improvement in the past two days, he can say a little more, the situation in front of him is Qin Shaojun's best opportunity, taking advantage of Qin Qingfeng's disappointment in the court and the emperor, he talked with Qin Qingfeng for an afternoon, Qin Qingfeng finally agreed to him to study medicine, but asked him not to give up his studies.
Su Wanyan acted as an intermediary and told Dong Xian about Qin Shaojun's desire to learn medical skills, Dong Xian also saw Qin Shaoyou's obsession with medical skills, and called him to take the school examination in front of him, Su Wanyan understood his situation in advance, taught him some simple medical theory, and told him about her understanding of Dong Xian's person.
When he was taking the school examination, Dong Xian found that he was familiar with medical books and had a certain foundation, but the most important thing was to see his determination, and asked him why he studied medicine, Qin Shaojun admired Dong Xian, and respected his medical skills and medical ethics very much, both of them had the same thoughts, studying medicine was to hang the pot to help the world, cure diseases and save people, and there were no distracting thoughts, so Dong Xian agreed to him.
After the apprenticeship ceremony, Qin Shaojun became Dong Xian's only disciple so far.
Qin Shaojun's wish came true, he was very grateful to Su Wanyan, and he became close to her, often mentioning her in front of his parents, and naturally saying good things about her, Qin Qingfeng understood her invisibly and looked at her differently.
After a period of treatment and conditioning, Qin Qingfeng's illness was finally cured, he wrote a recital to the emperor, proposing to go to the court to participate in the court politics, the emperor replied to him, let him recover from a serious illness or recuperate at home for more time, did not say a word about returning to the court, he was depressed, but during the serious illness he thought about it, and he was no longer as persistent about this matter as he was at the beginning.
During his recuperation, the emperor privately contacted the courtiers who were friendly with him, suggesting that they should no longer have hope for Qin Qingfeng, and he would not reuse him in the future, and Prime Minister Qiu Cheng was also operating in secret, promising benefits and future, and pulled many ministers from Qin Qingfeng's camp.
In today's court, Qin Taiwei has lost power, and Prime Minister Qiu Cheng is closer to the emperor, he has always been good at drilling camps, and will grasp the emperor's thoughts, knowing that he is depressed and working hard for political affairs all day long, and he is depressed, and he also knows his preferences, so he spent a lot of effort to please him, and the emperor regarded him as a confidant, and trusted him even closer, so there was a situation in the court where the prime minister was dominant.
Many ministers are dissatisfied, but when the prime minister privately suppresses those who oppose him, the officials can only bury their dissatisfaction in their hearts and dare not show it in the open.
Duanmu Rui took this opportunity to secretly contact these ministers, befriend them, and express his reverence for Qin Qingfeng and his yearning for a fair and clear court.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year was approaching, and the Xiongnu suddenly sent a letter of peace, intending to send tribute and protons, asking for a truce.
Originally from the last time the donated silver was exchanged for grain and grass materials sent to the border pass, Su Sui had no worries, the recent war has improved, Su Sui has the upper hand, and then continue to fight will achieve victory, it is at this time, the Huns asked for reconciliation.
The emperor saw that they took the initiative to sue for peace, this is still a unique thing, the emperor attaches great importance to it, and set up a throne in the Ministry of Rites to meet with the proton and the mission, they came to sue for peace with the emperor is naturally the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the ceremony is over, he ordered the prince to arrange the proton and the Xiongnu mission.
When the prince saw that they were here to take the initiative to sue for peace, he was very arrogant, and deliberately decorated the post house very gorgeously, wanting to deter them, and also revealed from the side that the prince liked extravagance, so they laughed at the prince's bluff in private.
The prince asked them about the tribute, and heard that there were thousands of horses, and many agate gems, and gold and silver objects, because the steppe where the Huns lived was rich in these things.
The prince was quite shocked when he heard about it, but he didn't expect the Huns to be so rich, so he asked them: "You are so rich, why do you often harass our borders, don't you eat and drink spicy food in your own place, and live a rich life?" ”
