Apocalypse went to Wenzhao Pavilion to read books during the day, and by the way, he went to Wucheng Pavilion to call a few little eunuchs to accompany him to exercise, since the beginning of the first month, he felt a little uncomfortable on his body, and coming to Wenzhao Pavilion was also the result of the discussion between the queen and Feng Siqin. They said that Wenzhao Pavilion was relatively close to the Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Palace, so that the ministers would not have to look for anything to do, and now the south is trying to find ways to improve the four-level auxiliary government system in other places, and there are many things to do, plus the big iron company is accepting assets belonging to the imperial court such as Guantian and official shops, and there is no sure when there will be a strange situation, and the Xinwang and their supervisory courts will definitely come to ask for a decree if they can't make up their minds.

As an emperor, he should go to court every day, and the apocalypse turned out to be on for two days, but later it was found that the court held a conference without a purpose, and it was as big as a militaristic state and as small as a state and a county, and other trivial things that seemed trivial in the court. If it's about talking about specific things, it's okay to bear it, but many times the ministers are blaming each other, each with their own set of rhetoric, and everyone stands on the moral high ground to say that others are not. If you splash dirty water on each other, it's nothing, and after splashing for a long time, everyone will naturally not splash, everyone is not clean and ugly, the problem is that they still have to make the apocalypse a referee, which makes people embarrassed.

When the Apocalypse had just sent Wei Zhongxian to Nanjing to think about it, everyone's spearhead was pointed at people close to Wei Zhongxian, such as Gu Bingqian, Cui Jingrong and others, who had the same hatred for the enemy. After these people were left or transferred, everyone began to fight, but it was done more hiddenly, and the Donglin Party made a comeback to fight against dissidents, needless to say, even the loyal and honest Sun Chengzong mobilized his students to squeeze out Wang Zaijin, who was not in the same eye as himself, and it was difficult for Tianqi to know everything and say anything. In line with the idea of not being out of sight and out of mind, after the apocalypse separated military affairs and government affairs, he merged the Ministry of Officials with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so that the two types of affairs of the administrator and the steward were also separated.

The meaning of the apocalypse is that the governance of the country is the governance of officials and affairs, all the struggles between the DPRK and China are nothing more than a struggle for power and profit, and the merged Metropolitan Procuratorate is in charge of the Donglin Party, and the Apocalypse simply handed over all the affairs of the officials to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, that is, to the Donglin Party, thinking that this is a party and should not fight anymore. Of course, Tianqi did not let it go, but told Gao Panlong and Yang Lian that the appointed officials and supervisory officials were elected by your Donglin Party, but if the elected person went wrong or the selected person was not competent, you had to think of your own solution, and in the end it turned out that this was very effective, at least on the surface, there was no dispute in the court.

A big reason why there is no dispute in the court is that Tianqi is very lazy and rarely goes to court, and if he doesn't have a meeting for a long time, he will naturally think about solving the problem when he has a meeting, and small disputes and small spirits are not worth taking up precious time. He first used age to limit the rank of officials to prevent people's ambitions from inflating, and then set up the Holy Academy and the Doctoral College to help the officials, and the Academy gave support in terms of experience and grasp of the general direction to ensure the continuity and integrity of the policy, and the Doctoral Academy gave support in terms of specific implementation to ensure that the officials were rational and advanced in doing things.

The above arrangements are all for the general situation, if there is a special situation, the officials will still come to the door to annoy, in order to completely calm the Apocalypse and set up a supervisory court in the Ciqing Palace, usually the Government Affairs Yuan, the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, the Holy Academy, the Bo College and other minds are together to do their own things, there are special circumstances on the discussion together, they are uncertain about the matter that must be a big deal, at this time the Apocalypse to make a decision is much easier. After a period of time, Tianqi thought that this was very good, and decided to set up a four-level auxiliary system at the central, provincial, prefecture, and county levels.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, everything went relatively smoothly, and the Apocalypse thought that being the emperor should be like this, and he would release any power, and he would only have the power to stop at any time. But everything has a good side and a bad side, people will have a problem after a long time, the apocalypse feels uncomfortable after the first month, the doctor of the hospital has come to see but are helpless, fortunately, just uncomfortable and there is no other big problem, the queen said that the palace is full of women, children and eunuchs, so that the apocalypse has nothing to do with it to stay outside for a while, and the apocalypse also thinks so.

The Apocalypse selected and selected the Wenzhao Pavilion, which is divided into two layers, most of which contain some ancient and modern books, and some places contain some beautiful and messy things such as silver taels, silk, and ready-to-wear, which are for the convenience of the emperor in the last court. The apocalypse has calculated that it has been a long time since he went to court, and it is estimated that he has no plans to go to court in the short term, and even if he wants to go to court, he will not reward people, so he asks someone to move things to the treasury. Wenzhao also left some books after cleaning up in the attic, one of which was the "Rong Zhai Essay" written by Hongmai in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was very fond of reading, which explained the comparison between governing the country, governing the world and the troubled times, and the reasons for the rise and fall of dynasties.

One day after the Qingming Festival, Tianqi raised a stone lock of appropriate size in Wucheng Pavilion in the morning to train his arm strength, and practiced the strength of his waist and legs with a group of little eunuchs, and after resting for a while, he went to Wenzhao Pavilion to drink tea and read books. Not long after I sat down, the little eunuch downstairs came to report that there was a minister who asked to see him, and he felt a little lonely when he didn't talk to anyone for a long time, so he asked who they were, and the little eunuch presented a sign saying that it was Yang Lian, Wu Zhiwang and Deng Yuhan, and Tianqi had already asked the little eunuch to call them all in, and he really wanted to see what the big deal about these three people how they could come to see him at the same time.

The three of them went upstairs and bowed first, and the apocalypse asked them to sit down and talk, and asked the little eunuch to give each of them a small tea table and make a bowl of tea by the way. Seeing that the three of them were a little worried, Tianqi smiled and said, "You three are rare guests, what is it that makes it difficult for all three of you?" ”

Wu Zhiwang himself is old and qualified, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he didn't shirk and said: "The minister heard that the emperor's health is not safe, and the imperial doctor has been helpless for more than two months, and the minister is not a genuine imperial doctor, so he doesn't dare to say much, for fear that he will cause trouble like Cui Wensheng and Li Kezhuo back then." Now listening to the emperor suffering here alone, the minister's heart is unbearable, I wonder if the emperor can trust the old minister to let the minister cut the pulse for you? ”

Seeing that Wu Zhiwang's face was calm but his eyes were full of love, Tianqi was moved in his heart and said: "I forgot that Master Wu has been a doctor for a long time, since Master Wu is here, cut the pulse, anyway, you don't need to be taboo if you don't bring medicine." After speaking, he moved a chair to the opposite side of his seat, and asked Wu Zhiwang to sit over and cut his pulse.

Wu Zhiwang confessed his guilt, then sat down and put two fingers on Apocalypse's wrist, squinted his eyes and nodded secretly while cutting his pulse, took his left hand and his right hand, and turned his right hand to take his left hand when he was done, and sat there and looked down after he was done.

This method of treatment made Deng Yuhan on the side hesitate, and after Wu Zhiwang put the left and right hands of the Apocalypse back and forth, Deng Yuhan couldn't help but ask first: "May I ask Lord Wu, can you know what illness His Majesty the Emperor has in this way?" After he finished asking, he realized that it was rude to ask such a question, so he bowed his head and remained silent.

Wu Zhiwang glanced at Deng Yuhan and ignored him, but said to Tianqi: "The emperor's illness is not a big deal, and there is no need to be taboo for people to know." ”

Tianqi said: "What disease does Master Wu think I have? ”

Wu Zhiwang said: "Judging from the emperor's pulse, the emperor does not sleep well, and he sleeps unrealistically at night and has dreams, and it is difficult to concentrate during the day in a trance. ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "Yes, the imperial doctors also said the same, but the results of their analysis were different, some said it was false, some said it was yang deficiency, and some said it was void heat and wind evil, what does Master Wu think?" ”

Wu Zhiwang said: "Generally speaking, I can't see anything, I always think that the emperor has caused a disorder of physical function because of excessive work on state affairs, and he only needs to ask the imperial pharmacy to dispense a few calming medicines, but the minister has repeatedly checked the pulse several times, but found that the results are different each time, which is very strange." The results of the analysis of the imperial doctors are different because they did not repeatedly call the pulse, I think it was because the emperor was wearing a lot at that time, and the imperial doctors did not dare to call for a long time for fear of cold the emperor, and second, they were too restrained at that time, and they were not as relaxed as they are today. ”

Apocalypse frowned and said, "Will the pulse change in a short period of time?" What is this statement? ”

Wu Zhiwang said: "Although strange but also true, Yichen looks like a double vein elephant, just like saying that there are two people in the emperor's body, one of the veins is big but gradually decaying, and the other veins are weak but gradually showing vitality ♀, the minister has never encountered it, but it is not difficult to understand, according to the emperor's age, he is still a young man in his early twenties, but the things that the emperor considers need to be mature and steady, and the yang energy in the palace is weak, so this double vein image is formed, it seems that the emperor also understands this truth, so he replenishes yang energy here every day." , here is close to the Huangji Hall and the Wenhua Hall is indeed full of yang energy. ”

Tianqi asked, "Does Master Wu have any prescriptions?" ”

Wu Zhiwang slowly shook his head and said: "The emperor can't remove this disease with a medicinal stone, because the two veins of yang and reality are opposite to use medicine, and they can only adjust their luck to make them slowly merge into one." When he was a child, he was tortured by shameful diseases, and later he was taught a set of techniques for maintaining health and controlling qi, and the emperor was willing to say that the minister could give the emperor a detailed reference. ”

Apocalypse has been using the method of fake Taoist priests to regulate his body for so many years, and he has to travel many times every day when he is not feeling well, and he has to travel many times every day, and the feeling of his mind swelling will be lighter when he runs for a few weeks each time, but as long as he stops for a while, it will return to his original condition, which makes him very helpless. Hearing Wu Zhiwang say that he has the art of luck conditioning and health preservation, the apocalypse was overjoyed and said: "What is the skill of Lord Wu to maintain health and control qi?" I am willing to learn. ”

Wu Zhiwang nodded and first talked about his understanding of the operation of the human body and heaven and earth, and then explained in detail how to gather qi out of nothing, how to operate the breath to sense heaven and earth, and finally how to distinguish between movement and stillness. Tianqi was surprised and disappointed when he heard it, he was surprised that Wu Zhiwang's method was the same as that taught by the fake Taoist, and the disappointed one was also this, since it was the same, what effect could it play?

Seeing that the apocalypse didn't like it very much, Wu Zhiwang asked, "Does the emperor think there is anything wrong?" ”

Tianqi said: "Don't hide it from Lord Wu, I have been using your method to recuperate, but it is effective to stop and ineffective, how can this be good?" ”

Wu Zhiwang nodded and said: "The Taoist priest who taught the minister's method once said that if this method is not feasible, it should be guided by external forces such as Lingshi Baoyu, and the emperor can issue an order to find it." ”
