271 On Medicine and the Country (II)

Wu Zhiwang said that the use of Lingshi Baoyu to guide the operation, the principle is equivalent to increasing energy or stimulating the pathway, the specific reason for which ordinary people can not know, but the apocalypse knows that he has a point. In the current Ming Kingdom, except for the Apocalypse, no one knows the cause of last year's Jingli earthquake and the fire in Wang Gongchang, and no one understands the magic of that topaz better than the Apocalypse, even the Apocalypse himself can't know how much power that the topaz can contain at most, and only knows that he must pass it if he wants to return to the original world.

Tianqi saw Wu Zhiwang's expression as if he was guessing what was being tested, he thought about it and said: "There is a piece of topaz in the palace, which was worn on the head by Emperor Sejong when he was cultivating the Tao to calm the spirit, and then I don't know why it fell to the people" Nian Zhen heard such rumors in the palace, and at that time, he also needed this thing to calm his mind and calm his mind when he accidentally fell into the water, so he went down to search for the people. Later, I got this topaz by chance, and it had a certain effect but it was not as good as the rumors, and it still had a bad impact on ordinary people, plus the collapse of the Qianqing Palace in the Beijing earthquake last year, and the topaz completely lost its effect. ”

Some of the words of the apocalypse are the truth, some are cover-ups, originally to get useful information from Wu Zhiwang and at the same time to deal with inquiries that should not be known to him, who knows that as soon as the words come out, he will be stunned first↓ The head of the apocalypse has been a little chaotic since the end of the month, and at first I just thought that I could get through without resting a lot of rest, who knew that it would get more and more serious later, and I would have a dream in a trance for less than a quarter of an hour day and night, and there was more and more information in my head, and it became more and more messy. When he started talking about the incident of falling into the water two years ago, he suddenly remembered that the chaos in his head when he woke up was not the same as now. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cry out.

Wu Zhiwang didn't pay much attention to the gaffe of the Apocalypse, but said softly: "The emperor said this, the minister also thought of it, the emperor ordered to search for Topaz Shichen was in the post of governor of Denglai at that time, but I didn't expect it to go through so many twists and turns. However, since Topaz is still there, there is a way, and the minister thinks that the reason why Topaz will be in exile back then is probably because its effectiveness has gradually been lost, and someone has found an eye to improve Topaz's effectiveness, but because the law has been put for too long, Topaz contains too much power to have a bad impact on ordinary people. ”

Hearing that Wu Zhiwang said reasonably, Tianqi asked, "How can I find the Eye of the Earth based on what Lord Wu has seen?" Isn't it good to dig a hole in the ground? How do you store it and for how long? ”

Wu Zhiwang said: "It is definitely not possible to find a piece of land at random, since someone has already added strength to Topaz in the Eye of the Earth and Topaz has returned to the palace, the emperor only needs to follow the vine and follow the map to find the Eye of the Earth." As for saying that the time to store and collect spiritual energy does not need to be too long, it can be seven to nine days, and the difficulty lies in the fact that one is to find this eye of the earth, and the other is to find a loyal person to do this for the emperor. ”

Apocalypse suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said: "This is not a priceless gold and silver jewelry, at most, it has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, just find a capable person to do it." The person who put Topaz into the palace is no longer there, and the person who handled it can't say why, but what can be known is that there is a place called Tianshiguan in the northwest of Sichuan that is related to the Eye of the Earth. ”

Wu Zhiwang nodded and said: "Zhou Xingsi of the Southern Dynasty wrote "Thousand Character Text", which has sentences such as 'Jin Shengli Water Jade out of Kungang', that is, gold comes from the Jinsha River in Yunnan, and beautiful jade comes from Kunlun Mountain, and the land of gold and jade production must belong to the treasure land, and the mountains in northwest Sichuan are about the same distance from Kunlun Mountain in Jinsha River, and it makes sense that there is an eye there. The minister is too old to work for the emperor, otherwise the minister can personally go to Sichuan for the emperor to run, and I don't know how long this body can live, and now I am thinking about finding a group of useful people for the emperor to listen to the emperor's call in the future. ”

Tianqi said: "Master Wu has made the medical school very impressive, and many people who have listened to your lectures have told me that you are proficient in medical science, and those who are proficient in medical science must be long-lived people. Besides, you are good at military conditioning, I am afraid it is not easy for you to get sick, and I am reluctant to torture an old minister like you for illness. ”

Seeing the two gossip about diseases and internal figures in the medical school, Yang Lian couldn't help but say: "It is certain that the martial arts people are good soldiers, and at the same time, they must cultivate more talents." Regarding the matter of topaz, if the emperor has no suitable candidate, there is someone here who doesn't know what the emperor wants? ”

Tianqi asked, "Who is Lord Yang going to recommend?" ”

Yang Lian said: "The minister recommended Liu Qiao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was in charge of the edict, was forced to go home by Wei Eunuch, and later Wei Eunuch wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the root cause of the minister, and later fortunately returned to the court, Liu Qiao was the person who escorted the minister back to Beijing at that timeβ–‘ Qiao was loyal and righteous, capable and young and strong, plus he himself was an officer of the Jinyi Guard, and others were not good to inquire about, and it should be no problem to find a name for him to do things for the emperor. ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "Since I didn't allow the Jinyi guards to arrest people indiscriminately and torture people in the edict prison, I heard that the edict prison in the city has become crowded, and I have a good impression of Liu Qiao, so let him go." After speaking, let the little eunuch immediately go and recruit Liu Qiao.

After Tianqi finished instructing the little eunuch, he turned his head and asked Yang Lian, "Lord Yang came to see me today, is there something special?" ”

Yang Lian thought for a while and said: "Originally, the minister had some unknown things, but when I started listening to the conversation between the emperor and Lord Wu, the minister already had some understanding, but I didn't know whether it was right or wrong." ”

When Tianqi heard this, he asked, "I and Lord Wu are discussing medical science, and Lord Yang is in charge of the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which belongs to the affairs of the officials, is there anything in common?" ”

Wu Zhiwang laughed and said, "Why did the emperor forget? It is often said that if you are not a good doctor, you are a good doctor, which shows that curing diseases and governing the country is a truth, and governing officials is the most important thing in governing the country. ”

Tianqi nodded when he heard this, and said: "Master Wu has a point, then Lord Yang, you can tell me what you didn't understand before, and what truth you understood later, maybe we can also understand something from your words." ”

Yang Lian said: "The minister is in charge of the supervision of officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and this official is actually no different from ordinary people, and he is still inseparable from the word fame and fortune. Fortunately, the emperor has already set the system, using the age limit grade to make many restless officials settle down to do things, and using the economic inspection system to make corruption hidden, under these two key systems, the officials' fame and fortune are much lighter, so the affairs of the ministers have become very few, compared with the tall people, it is much easier, and the ministers themselves think that they are too idle in the past two years. ”

Yang Lian's words are a little inexplicable, this official wants to be bigger and bigger, but when the age limit is used, he is destined not to be promoted, it must be the pursuit of weight and leisure. Yang Lian is the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, whether it is the central government or local officials, they have to give three points when they see him, this good thing with high power and light responsibility Many people can't think of it, why does Yang Lian still feel uncomfortable, is he a workaholic and wants to do more power?

Tianqi thought of this and said softly: "Isn't it good to be leisurely?" In addition to appointing and dismissing officials, you are supervising officials, and your leisure shows that the order of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom is very good, if you are busy from morning to night in a year, from the beginning to the end of the year, it is not a good thing for the imperial court. ”

Yang Lian said: "The minister also knows this truth, but now the minister feels too idle and different from before, in the past, the officials of the whole country knew their details, although they dare not say that they are like a number of treasures, but it can also be said that everyone has an impression." Now that all provinces, prefectures, and counties have perfected the auxiliary government system, they can appoint and dismiss officials on their own, but they only report it afterwards, and these people only look at their resumes and say nothing about the ministers, and they feel that they cannot grasp it. That is to say, the previous leisure was the leisure of confidence, and the current leisure is the bottomless leisure in the heart, which made the minister feel very unsteady. ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "Yes, all of you have been sent to various places to serve as supervisors, and due to the lack of transportation, their reports cannot be returned in time, so that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is equivalent to becoming deaf and blind in terms of understanding local officials, even if the reports received from the supervisors in various places are a beat slower, this is indeed my neglect, but what are you doing, Lord Yang?" ”

Yang Lian said: "There should be no problem with these former officials in various places, and only some of the people who are now accepted in." In order to establish an auxiliary political system, a large number of people must be used in various localities, and at the beginning they trained all the people who were able to do things, and then they were not enough to raise people, and some counties even used them in Xiucai, and the quality of these people was not guaranteed, and who knows if they would do any tricks? ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "The chief officials of all places must be directly appointed by the imperial court, there is no room for negotiation, and the officials appointed by themselves can only be regarded as auxiliary officials, as the saying goes, officials are as clear as water, and officials are as smooth as oil, whether this auxiliary official is good or not, it will indeed affect the chief officialβ˜† Lord said that you have realized from the conversation between me and Lord Wu, what truth did you come up with?" ”

Yang Lian said: "The emperor's double pulse disease is regarded as the chief official and auxiliary official, and the method of luck recuperation that Lord Wu began to say should be to reconcile the two to the same, and the minister thinks that maybe he can think of a way to reconcile the main officials and auxiliary officials of the whole country to a method of luck reconciliation, so that they are all loyal to the court and less consider personal cooperation." ”

Tianqi nodded and said, "There is a mantra of Lord Wu to regulate the body, what mantra or method is Lord Yang going to use for the conditioning officer?" If I also encounter a situation like mine, it is useless to stop when I am conditioning, and Lord Yang is ready to do it? ”
