The emperor must not have this disease, therefore, the emperor can never have this disease, so if I say that the emperor has this disease, even if it is just doubt, it is "slanderous and disrespectful".

If you really have such a crime, the black gauze hat will definitely not be able to keep it, and if you don't do it well, you will go to prison, the worst end, and even-hmph, you can't rule out the possibility of going to the vegetable market.

Besides, you can't 100% rule out the possibility that you are wrong, because the emperor really has no reason to be sick!

How old is the emperor? I haven't heard that the queen mother of the two palaces has sent him any palace maids who are "sleepers" and "secretaries of accounts"? Don't...... The emperor is getting older, and his love is beginning to open, and which palace maid has a "private affair record", so he has a ...... Men and women?

Even if that's the case, it's impossible to get this disease! The palace maids who serve the emperor are all yellow flower virgins, and they can't leave the palace, so there is no possibility of giving this kind of illness to the emperor!

Could it be the palace maid...... With which guard, she hooked up with her in private, and this illness was given to her by that guard, and she passed it to the emperor?

Wang Shouzheng's brain opened again and again, and his brain hurt when he thought about it, but he still didn't know the point.

Alas, the palace is forbidden and filthy, even if I am "enshrined in the inner court", I can't imagine it.

Wang Shouzheng couldn't imagine that the little emperor had secretly run outside the palace many times.

Anyway, you can't rule out the possibility that you're wrong.

I can't be completely sure what kind of illness the emperor has, but I can't discuss and ponder this matter with anyone, especially not to my colleagues in the hospital.

The reason is simple, just say it. It means that he suspects that the emperor has this disease. Passed out. It is "slander and holy bow", and it is "great disrespect".

At present, the vacancy of the lower court is the big joint point of the official career, and there must be no moths.

Originally, the left was higher than the right, and Wang Shouzheng's chance of filling the vacancy was much greater than that of the right court. However, if you are not cautious in this matter, you will definitely be caught by competitors, and you will easily step on yourself - if you can't make up for the lack of the court envoy, it is light, and if you are not careful, you will be trampled back to your hometown, and even stepped on the "South Prison" and "North Prison" of the Criminal Department.

So, you have to cover it, you can't say it.

Besides, if the emperor really gets this disease. To put it bluntly, it's not very useful - because this is a disease that can never be cured and cannot get rid of the root cause.

Brave and faithful. If you can only exchange your own bad luck or even bad luck, but there is no substantial benefit to the emperor, why did you come?

Thinking like this, Wang Shouzheng's guilt was alleviated a lot.

Anyway, this disease, for a while, will not cause much trouble, and in most cases, it will not kill people.

But—

This disease is a "fetal poison", and it is for the future queen and concubines! Is it to ...... Over to the prince!

The number of qi in the Qing Dynasty -

Alas!

Wang Shouzheng let out a long sigh in his heart.

The country's situation has just improved, why is it in this stall?

The guilt lessened, but he couldn't settle down.

Best...... Luckily, I thought it was bad.

But how can you be sure that you are not looking badly?

I can't discuss and ponder with my colleagues in the small square pulse and surgery department of Tai Hospital.

What should I do?

On the fifth day, the red spots on the little emperor's body really subsided, and there was not a trace left.

After Wang Shouzheng's consultation, he knelt down and kowtowed, congratulating the emperor, and the little emperor was very happy: "I want to reward you!" ”

"This is the messenger ...... within the minister's division"

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded!" The little emperor said in an old-fashioned manner, "Little Lizi, pass on the decree - the left hospital of the Imperial Court will judge Wang Shouzheng...... Uh, two small gold bills, a sandalwood fan, and a suede fire sickle bag! ”

"Huh!"

Wang Shouzheng had no choice but to say: "The minister bows to thank the emperor for his grace." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you," said the little emperor, "and there are conditions for giving you this grace." ”

Wang Shouzheng was slightly stunned: "Please make it clear to the emperor." ”

The little emperor lowered his voice slightly: "You have to tell the Queen Mother that I have to ...... for another three days of 'quiet photography' because of my illness." ”

This is not needed at all, but the little emperor opened the "Golden Mouth", Wang Shouzheng couldn't help but obey, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Why do you have to rest for three more days?

Why? Steal three more days of laziness!

"Quiet shooting" - you can "no study".

Ci'an knew that the little emperor's rash had disappeared, and he was also very happy, and he also rewarded Wang Shouzheng, which was two poplins and two boxes of dim sum.

It was a happy thing to be rewarded, but Wang Shouzheng was not happy, his colleagues congratulated, his smile was very reluctant, everyone looked at it, and felt a little strange, but they all thought that the royal court was low-key, and they didn't care.

After getting off duty, Wang Shouzheng did not go home and went straight to the "Dongxing Building" on Dong'anmen Street.

This "Dongxing Building" is one of the best restaurants in Beijing, Wang Shouzheng is only an official of the six grades, and his fortune is limited, although there are rewards from time to time, but most of the numbers are small, so he is not a frequent visitor to "Dongxing Building", but today he wants to talk to people about a very important matter, in order to show sincerity, ruthlessness, he chose the best restaurant.

Wang Shouzheng's appointment, called Deng Wenliang, is a fellow student who studied medicine with him, but Wang Shouzheng specializes in internal medicine, and Deng Wenliang specializes in surgery.

Wang Shouzheng chartered the innermost and most quiet private room on the second floor of the "Dongxing Building" - it is best not to let a third person hear what he wants to talk to Deng Wenliang about today.

The two are very familiar friends, as soon as Deng Wenliang arrived, there was no need to do any greetings, Wang Shouzheng asked the guys to serve wine and cloth dishes.

After drinking a glass of wine and taking a few bites of food, Wang Shouzheng said: "Old Deng, how did you think about the matter I told you last time?" ”

"Going to the hospital on an errand," Deng Wenliang shook his head and said, "I don't have the slightest interest." ”

Deng Wenliang's medical skills are in Beijing. It's also famous. Wang Shouzheng and Deng Wenliang are the same family. has a very personal relationship, and more than once, I want to extend him to the Tai Hospital, thinking that I will help him.

Wang Shouzheng frowned and said, "Why are you not interested at all?" ”

"You are a messenger from the hospital," Deng Wenliang said unceremoniously, "Is that a human doing?" I see people for the doctor, but I haven't heard of a bad doctor. The patient wants to invite me to eat fists and lawsuits. What about you? Hehe, your sick family, if you are really seriously ill and can't be saved, 'the dragon is a guest', your hospital judge, at least you have to make a 'dismissal and retention', right? ”

Wang Shouzheng smiled bitterly: "I have a deep grace in the court, and I can generally 'recover'......"

Deng Wenliang ignored his words, and continued to talk to himself: "What annoys me the most is that the patient promises to be a 'doctor'!" We're doctors. Who doesn't know that 'healers don't heal themselves'? It's just that you patients love to be 'knowledgeable doctors'! Change your home. Even if he is the prince? I can do it all! But your sick can't—isn't that a 'bad thing'? The doctor prescribes according to the patient's words - hehe, what do you want the doctor to do? ”

Wang Shouzheng couldn't refute this.

In terms of cultural level, the average of the Qing emperors was among the best among the emperors of all dynasties - this should probably not be disputed. A higher level of education is a good thing, but it also brings a headache side effect: most of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, as Deng Wenliang said, promised to "know the doctor", especially Gaozong, who changed the prescription of the imperial doctor at every turn, and quoted the scriptures every time, which was justified.

"I remember...... Well, it's the second year of Daoguang-" Deng Wenliang sneered, "I don't know which living treasure it is, what the book says'Acupuncture fire is not suitable for Fengjun', and the result is - okay, the acupuncture department is withdrawn!" I'm a surgeon, and if you don't call me 'acupuncture fire', what will I do to cure your disease? Do you want to learn from foreign devils, take a knife, and pull your stomach? - I'm afraid it's even more 'not suitable for you', right? ”

"Old Deng, complain too much......"

"I'm not done yet!"

Deng Wenliang took a sip of wine and continued: "You sick people ......"

"Don't you just say 'you sick guys', okay?"

"Yes, senior brother doesn't like to listen to it, so I'll put it another way - I mean, the nobles in the palace, every meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but every day to watch the four directions of the sky - eat too well, move too little! Nested all day long, expensive and frail, first, easy to get sick; Second, it's hard to treat when you're sick! I don't like to do this kind of work! ”

After a pause, he said: "If you can't cure it, even if you don't take off your top and don't lose your head, you will be scolded - the dog is bloody!" If you see a doctor outside the palace, even if you don't see it well, at most you will be sent away, and the consultation fee will not be less! - Who has ever seen a doctor scolding him on the ground? I'm living a good life outside, listening to flattery everywhere, what are I doing when I go in and suffer that? ”

Wang Shouzheng laughed: "So, am I a slut?" ”

"How dare I say that, senior brother? This one...... Everyone has their own aspirations! ”

After taking a sip of wine, Deng Wenliang said with a smile: "Also, I love money!" The messenger of the Tai Hospital, there is a salary, but there is no consultation fee - even if he is the envoy of the hospital, the official son of the fifth grade, how much can he earn in a year? Of course, there is a reward, but how much is it worth for a purse or a few pieces of clothing? If you want to make money, your court may not make as much money as me! ”

Of course, there is no consultation fee for treating people in the palace, but the imperial doctor is not without other ways of income, but Wang Shouzheng has no need to break with Deng Wenliang about these things.

"Okay!" Wang Shouzheng smiled, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't force you - this matter, let's put it aside for a while, I asked you to come out today to ask you to help ponder a medical case." ”

Hearing the word "medical case", Deng Wenliang's eyes lit up: "You say! ”

He was born with a love of medicine, and he loves to ponder all kinds of incurable diseases.

Wang Shouzheng talked about the illness of the little emperor in detail, of course, the word "emperor" is absolutely unspeakable, only said that he "has such a sick family".

In addition to treating the inner court, the outer court is also within the scope of responsibility, anyway, as long as the people in the Forbidden City are sick, no matter how high or low, it is the business of the hospital. In addition, the Tai Hospital often sent imperial doctors to the residences of various princes and ministers. After the imperial doctor is on duty, if he has extra time and energy, he will also take on some "private work". Therefore, Deng Wenliang could never have imagined that this patient would be "today".

After listening to Wang Shouzheng's symptoms, Deng Wenliang felt slightly disappointed: What kind of incurable disease is this?

"Needless to say? This is 'bayberry'! ”
