Chapter 230: Sick Leave

The next day, Li Yuan put a fold on his desk, which was Xu Qing's request for leave, and it was sick leave. Although it was said in the letter that Xu Qing was not seriously ill, he only needed to recuperate at home for a few days, and asked the emperor not to worry. But Li Yuan is still in a hurry, this Xu Qingnai is an important minister of the country, how can he be sick, no, I have to go and visit, don't give me a Guo Fengxiao! Guo Fengxiao is Cao Cao's chief strategist, Cao Cao once said that if Guo Fengxiao hadn't died early, how could Lao Tzu Chibi have lost the battle? The ancients had poor medical standards, small colds, and countless deaths, so Li Yuan attached great importance to it.

"Someone, call the imperial doctor, and then find me a cloak carriage, I want to go to Xu Qing's house to visit him."

After a while, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the Good Grange, and then I saw a somewhat familiar group of cavalry entering, rumbling to escort a brown carriage into the Good Grange. At this time, Long Wei! The carriage had a brown exterior but a bright yellow lining.

Then, this team of murderous men and horses galloped to the Xu Mansion, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the Xu Mansion. After making sure that everything around was safe, an old man in luxurious clothes leaned out of the carriage, and this was Li Yuan. The coachman knelt at the door of the carriage, and Li Yuan stepped on the back of the coachman and reached the ground. I glanced around and praised the view, which was good. Why was this Huangzhuang rewarded to Xu Xiaozi? It's a pity...... Also, there is no medicine residue at this gate, and it seems that he is not seriously ill. The ancients believed that the medicine residue of seriously ill patients was placed at the door and trampled on to take the disease away.

While Li Yuan was looking around, another old man got out of the carriage, but seeing that he was wearing an official uniform, he was the highest-level imperial physician. Speaking of this imperial medical order, it also has a lot to do with Xu Qing. A few years ago, Xu Qing just came to Chang'an, and because of the alcohol anti-inflammatory method and suture hemostasis method, he joined the Taiyi Department, and he also served as a shopkeeper for a long time. This imperial physician order was only made after Xu Qing left. Speaking of which, because of the alcohol anti-inflammatory method and the suture hemostasis method, this imperial doctor has to call Xu Qing a teacher.

This imperial physician order, when he heard the summons of the eunuch, he wanted to call a royal doctor casually, but when he heard that Xu Qing was sick, in order to repay his teacher, he ignored his old bones and took a car to Shantianzhuang.

At this time, Xu Mansion opened the door, and a person came out of it, looked at the people around him, saw Li Yuan in the middle, and immediately walked over and knelt down and said: "Caomin, kneel to welcome my emperor, long live my emperor!" ”

"Oh?" Li Yuan stared at him up and down and said, "Have you seen me?" ”

The person who opened the door was actually the housekeeper of Xu Qing's good grange, who had come from Hongshan Town before, and Huang Shimei saw that he was clever and more realistic, so he was promoted to housekeeper. The 2,000 acres of land that Xu Qing bought this time actually has his share, which is not small, Huang Shimei asked him to bring his parents, wife and children to Chang'an. Just now, he saw that the cavalry around him were all Praetorian Guards in the palace, and he had seen them once or twice when he followed a few women into the palace before. can use the Praetorian Guard to open the way with such fanfare, I'm afraid there are only a few people in the entire Chang'an, and then look at this temperament and age, if it's not today's saint, who else can it be?

But seeing the housekeeper bow down and say: "The holy dragon walks in tiger steps, not angry and self-prestigious, like a god descending from heaven, although wearing civilian clothes, but it is difficult to hide the breath of the son of heaven, if the grass people are ringing in their hearts, if the sound of the bell is telling the grass people, this is the saint is coming." ”

Li Yuan laughed and said: "It is worthy of Xu Qing's family, here is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, not bad, not bad." Get up and take me to see Xu Qing. ”

The "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" in Li Yuan's sentence actually has several meanings, one is to praise the housekeeper for his cleverness, and the other is to say that the guards in Xu Qing's house, that is, the dark river, are very powerful. And the housekeeper shouted long live the emperor at the beginning, which also has a meaning, and the deep meaning is to inform the people in the door, who is coming, quickly notify Xu Qing.

It's a pity that Xu Qing is soaking in the hot spring in the small attic at this time, and he doesn't know what time it is outside, and he doesn't know what movement is outside. Moreover, Xu Qing has a rule here, no matter how big the matter is, whether the sky falls or the ground sinks, no one is allowed to break in. If you want to notify, use the "downwind ear" at the door to communicate.

Xu Qing set up a microphone at the door of the small attic and connected it to the inner room with a thin iron rod, and there was a device to amplify the sound inside. Inside the microphone outside, there is a string of bells, and when the bell is struck, the people inside can hear it. Yet, somehow, no one sat on the earpiece today. The girls were taking care of Xiaoyue, who had a stomachache, while Xu Qing was taking a bath, except for the child's urine that Xu Wen gave him.

The villain was ringing the bell in front of the door, Li Yuan walked in, and the housekeeper couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the scene inside. He muttered in his heart, the old man who followed behind Li Yuan was carrying a medical box, probably the imperial doctor. Earlier, the third lady instructed that she would come to the imperial doctor to see Xu Qing today, and Huang Shimei also told him the reason, in fact, Xu Qing wanted to lie that she was sick and tricked an imperial doctor to come to check Xiaoyue's pulse. But who would have thought that Li Yuan attached so much importance to Xu Qing that he would come in person, this is amazing, Xu Qing is not sick at all! The crime of bullying the king, the great crime of punishing the nine clans, what should I do?

Just when the housekeeper was panicking, Li Yuan noticed the microphone at the door. He asked, "Ahem, what is this, what are you ringing the bell here?" ”

The next person knew that it was the emperor who came, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what the sun and moon were, and where could he answer. The butler's heart sank, it can be delayed for a while, sir, you can keep some heart. The housekeeper picked up a small hammer and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, my lord likes to be quiet and doesn't like others to disturb you." Therefore, this thing was made, called Shunfeng Ear, and if you knock it on the outside, the people sitting inside can hear it......"

"Oh? Such an amazing ......" Li Yuan was not stupid, thought for a while and asked, "Then you are knocking now, why didn't Xu Qing hear it?" ”

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Back to the emperor, my lord is unwell, maybe he is lying on the bed, and the ladies may be taking care of him, so I didn't hear it." ”

Li Yuan didn't believe in evil, and said that if this thing could really deliver the news, I would repair one from Chang'an to Yingzhou, so that it would be cheaper to command the battle.

The housekeeper was happy in his heart, since the emperor is interested, then I will entrust you for a while. The housekeeper hurriedly said to Li Yuan: "If you don't believe it, Your Majesty, the grass people will take you to give it a try?" ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, you take me to the one inside to listen to it, Imperial Doctor's Order, you ring the bell outside." ”

"Whoa."

And Xu Qing, swimming in the bath, picked up a woodcarved duck on the water, and sang while bathing: "Under the bridge in front ......of the door, a group of ducks swim by" He didn't know that the Tang Emperor had arrived at the door.
