Chapter 285 Man-made illness suddenly
"Has this person just been appointed as the young master of the crown prince for a short time?"
Hearing Li Ying's words, Li Zhi pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked.
With his current cultivation, he also has a magical and unique sense of true qi, and the process of chanting is waiting for a third-level master to secretly spy on and recover.
Of course, this person has no intention of endangering Gaozong himself, otherwise he would not be assured to be placed in the shadows to protect Gaozong with such a heavy responsibility.
Since he is a personal guardian, of course, he will know that he has repeatedly come to treat patients for Gaozong, and this kind of secret guardianship must have already had enough trust in Li Zhi, and it is reasonable to withdraw his provenance.
Li Ying didn't know that Li Zhi's short contemplation had other intentions, and when he heard him ask like this, he nodded to indicate that there was such a thing.
Li Zhi had a preconceived sense of Gaozong's side, and instantly confirmed some guesses in his heart, so he didn't say anything to Li Ying, and went straight into the upper study.
Seeing Li Zhi's arrival, it obviously made Gaozong's expression look happy for a while, "With three wives by my side, I am quite relieved to be able to arrive in time so late." ”
Li Zhi realized the profound meaning of his words in a moment, and Gaozong was using this sentence to imply that he could not speak clearly in the face of Liu Renliang present.
Guy himself was ordered to take Shang Fangjian to Lishan, where Li Zhi had a Shang Fang Sword Saint Might, and it was reasonable, Gaozong would make a little fun of Li Zhi's ability to understand Shang Fangjian's true intentions.
Now he does not make the slightest judgment on the trip to Lishan, but directly talks about tonight, as if Li Zhi has never left Chang'an City, obviously Gaozong's move is too abrupt and contrary to common sense.
There is no doubt that Gaozong has only one purpose in doing this: you arrived overnight this time, and you only talked about things, and you couldn't involve other things.
Therefore, Li Zhizhi bowed down and replied: "It's for some things in business, and there are a lot of things that need to be done, so it's late." Before the Divine Decree arrived, the people were bathing and had not yet gone to bed, so they could come faster! ”
Gaozong nodded, introduced the person next to him to Li Zhi, and the two sides admired each other for a long time, and there were many taboos in the Shang Shufang, so they didn't do much in-depth communication between words.
"I summoned you overnight because of one thing. As early as a month ago, I mentioned to Luoyang that I was about to visit Luoyang, the eastern capital, and that the crown prince Li Xian would stay in the capital to deal with military and political affairs. Because of this matter, the edict ordered Liu Renliang and Pei Yan and Xue Yuanchao to stay in Chang'an to assist the prince. But today, a general named Jiang Sizong was ordered to come to Chang'an as an envoy of the Queen Mother, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng and the other two gathered for a dinner to entertain this person, and one of them, Long Aiqing, suddenly fell ill, but was sent to me by Jiang Sizong, saying that you can relieve the illness for him, which is why I summoned you to the palace overnight! ”
Zilong is the word Pei Yan, Li Zhiwei said, Gaozong has already signaled Liu Renliang to make a more detailed interpretation: "Brother Zilong was at the time of the banquet, he suddenly felt severe pain in the diaphragm of the right upper abdomen and the deep liver of the ribs, and rolled to the ground, resulting in paroxysmal convulsions, and his delirium was blurred to the point of coma!" According to the diagnosis of a fellow imperial doctor at the scene, it was a sudden hepatic coma. In addition, the doctor next to Jiang Sizong's envoy suggested that only Mr. Li in Chang'an City could relieve such patients! ”
To Liu Renliang's surprise, Li Zhi did not make a positive response, but only made a detailed inquiry, and did not express the slightest serious concern.
While carefully describing all the big and small situations at the time of the onset of the disease, Liu Renliang secretly alerted himself to the fact that this legendary young divine doctor, sure enough, had a medical master Fan Er, and he did not show his strength and sense of urgency just because the saint was watching from the sidelines.
After he finished explaining, Li Zhi did not explain the case at all, but looked at Gaozong.
Gaozong knew this, smiled slightly, and asked Li Zhi with a stern expression towards Liu Renliang: "Is it that Empress Dowager's envoy Jiang Sizong suggested that you come to the study and come through the Holy Admiral's edict overnight?" ”
"It's him, but it's also the healer next to him who came up with the idea in the first place!"
"Behead him, I mean the doctor, I don't recommend Prime Minister Liu to take him down and investigate the mastermind behind him, because you can't afford the consequences, or you can't close the case from now on!"
"What does Mr. Li mean by that?" Liu Renliang stood up in anger, and then thought of the people around him at this moment, as well as the place he was, hurriedly sat down again, and lowered his voice to answer, "Mr. Li has to say it clearly, otherwise it will be difficult for me to understand the truth!" ”
Li Zhi smiled: "This happened when the child was in the child, this time is also the time when the liver and gallbladder are the most prosperous, there is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine: when a person lies down, the blood returns to the liver, which means that when a person lies down, the blood of each viscera passes through the liver to complete the task of detoxification." If this time is still busy, it will make other organs also in a relatively excited state, and it will not be able to make the blood of each organ enter the liver for detoxification in time. Therefore, at this time, it is the best reason for being used by some people to induce hepatic coma! If what I expected is correct, the cause of Pei Yan is artificial, and the liver coma is only a symptom, and there will be no symptoms after sleeping all night! ”
"Why did Mr. Li make this assertion, you ......?"
Li Zhi shook his hand and interrupted his cross-examination very unceremoniously, "Prime Minister Liu is a little restless, maybe you still don't know the origin of my most authentic medical skills, before I understand ancient Chinese medicine, I am first a Taoist cultivator!" For you, it seems to be an emergency, and if I poke a finger at a certain position, the symptoms of Pei Yan's cause will appear! And you described in detail before that before the abnormality was born, the so-called doctor had physical contact with Pei Yan. And this person deserves to die because in order to find out that the Holy Lord's sick body seems to be cured, he asked you to disturb the Holy Heaven to rest at night, and also sent me to be treated, the purpose is to verify whether I am the one who healed the Holy One! Regardless of what he did to Pei Yan, under the pretense of using your hand to alarm the holy driver, do you think the guilt should be dead? ”
It is a serious crime of the Zhu clan, and it is really unforgivable, and as a person who is used, his joint and several liability is at least a serious crime of neglect.
As soon as Li Zhi's words came out, Liu Renliang pounced, and he already knelt down at the feet of Gaozong, such an old person, it is anyone's opinion, at this time, this person's full head is full of flowers, and the look of Zhang Huang is at a loss, and he is also a little unbearable.
Gaozong was not angry as Li Zhi expected, because this was probably a tentative move by the Empress Wu, knowing that after Gaozong's death, under the situation that the two princes were not competent, it was obviously impossible to take down her, a person who has the ability to maintain the stability of the Tang Dynasty.
Under such psychological trouble, temptation behaviors have been repeatedly born, and if Gaozong is deceived because of this, he will move the most undisputed and respected generals like Liu Renliang, who obviously happened to fall into the treacherous tricks of the Empress Wu.
So Gaozong smiled and waved his hand to let Liu Renliang go, "Liu Aiqing, in fact, the moment you came tonight, I had already guessed that it would be such an inside story, but what is the specific, it needs Mr. Li, the person who is eager to be brought out by the other party, to analyze the reason!" Because it is not uncommon for you to be calculated by others, I will not cure you for the sins you do not know! But there are some things that you know how to respond to over there? ”
Liu Renliang naturally looked grateful and weeping, but Gaozong ignored his humble words and loyal expressions, and then talked in depth:
"Obviously, the Empress Dowager's envoy Jiang Sizong, in addition to being ordered to act in small ways, also has to monitor the situation in Chang'an City after I leave, maybe when I get on the road, maybe he has another trajectory to provoke you. But there will be some evidence for the things he provoked, and you should have a way to pull them down with such villains! ”
Gaozong said it so bluntly, because he knew that Liu Renliang was not only a general, but also a cunning politician, so that he would have a good reputation to spread the government and the world.
He had enough reason to believe that this person could reasonably launch the most effective means of counterattack, and for the side of Empress Wu, when he, the dignified emperor, was still alive, he did not know whether to live or die and was willing to be a pawn, and of course Gaozong did not mind getting rid of him as soon as possible.
And with the help of the Empress Wu, you can cover up your own doubts that you have already seen, and you can have the upper hand psychologically, this is the genius of Gaozong.
Li Zhi did not speculate on Gaozong's mentality at this time, but explained to Liu Renliang in detail: "Liver coma is also said to be the liver and intestines in ancient medicine, and it has become incurable after the liver qi stagnation has reached the extreme!" But the liver is the main emotion, and the liver abnormality will affect people's emotions, and there will never be a sudden possibility without warning before, so combined with the liver disease, Pei Yan talked and laughed at the dinner, if there is really such a hidden danger, how can there be such a profound pathological emotional cover-up technique? You always responded tonight, saying that I was afraid to go, and everything tomorrow morning Pei Yan will recover on his own, which shows everything! Otherwise, if I go tonight, it will be when he Pei Yan really dies. ”
"Mr. Lee means ......"
"They aim to spy on my true medical skills, when I arrive, I can only continue Pei Yan's liver coma, this kind of terminal illness, no one in the world can solve it, won't he Pei Yan lose some life because of this? But if I don't show up, if I am in a man-made hepatic coma, someone will find out the secret in the autopsy, and they can't blame me for the crime, and they certainly can't let the fire burn on themselves. ”
Liu Renliang suddenly realized that Li Zhi didn't go to the doctor but saved Pei Yan's life, otherwise I am afraid that he would really lose his life because of this.
"But you can't mention this truth to Pei Yan in the future, because it is very likely that the Empress Dowager's envoy Jiang Sizong will have further evidence to expose him, otherwise the Holy Edict ordered you to stay in Chang'an with Pei Yan and Xue Yuanchao to assist the prince, without real evidence, Jiang Sizong would dare to treat Pei Yan like this?"
Taken aback, Liu Renliang once again got up from his seat, Li Zhi's analysis undoubtedly revealed the true purpose of the people from Luoyang City.
But in the eyes of Empress Wu, his original intention was also to maintain the stability of the next situation in Chang'an City, and the investigation found that Pei Yan had a problem, which was actually more significant than the continuation of the conspiraction.
Gaozong was very satisfied with Li Zhi's in-depth and detailed analysis, "Liu Aiqing, you can go back here, just reply as Mr. Li said, and the doctor will come forward in the palace tomorrow to deal with it!" But don't show any other reaction, find an excuse to go home early and rest, and tomorrow morning, the truth will be revealed! ”
Although there were many doubts in his heart, and he was deeply afraid of Li Zhi, he did not dare to hesitate for a moment when the saint ordered the expulsion.
After the man left, Gaozong and Li Zhi looked at each other and smiled: "It seems that Luoyang has always been unwilling to let my condition suddenly stabilize, so he has repeatedly made temptations!" ”
"If you are someone else, how can a person who has the great wisdom and talent of the world in his hand let the confusion in his heart exist for a long time?"
"Hahaha! Your kid really went to Lishan and his party, and he realized it in his heart, and he didn't cultivate it in vain! ”
"No matter how slow Wei Chen's reaction is, he can also have a pause sooner or later under the blessing of the Holy Lord's strong intent, otherwise it will be too dull! But about the matter of the Holy Saint's visit to Luoyang, Wei Chen has some opinions! ”
Gaozong waved his hand, "I have made up my mind, I know that you care about my sick body, who doesn't want to spend the remaining few lives in peace?" But if I want my Datang to prosper for a long time, I must have Luoyang and his party, otherwise there will really be irrepressible hidden dangers there! Besides, according to common sense, I also need to have this trip, I was going to wait for you to get married before going, it seems that the time is not waiting for me, there are already people in Luoyang City who are impatient! ”
The meaning of his words naturally refers to the side of the Empress Wu, Gaozong went to Luoyang, and it is also Empress Wu's deep understanding of him as a person, without this trip, I really don't know that the future empress who was fascinated by the monstrous power made some irrational behavior.
That stupid-minded healer, who dared to alarm the holy car in the middle of the night, did not know what kind of profit temptation led to being held accountable tomorrow, his head cut off, and he would already burn high incense if he did not do anything else.
Li Zhi is not interested in how to deal with it, the palace is in the palace, and there will be a peerless master, not to mention that at this time, Gaozong is examining him again: "Let's talk about it, what do you have a deeper view of tonight's events?" ”
"I don't know if the saint has a detailed understanding of "Zou Ji Satire on the King of Qi's Admonition"?"
Seeing Gaozong's surprised face, Li Zhi smiled and further interpreted: "Irony is actually a hint, subordinates need skills to give advice to their superiors, and they can't directly blame their bosses, which is not allowed in traditional culture, because they pay attention to status and humility, and they can't be slightly exceeded." Zou Ji reminded King Qi through storytelling. At that time, King Qi Wei was very proud, and felt that the people of the whole country liked him, and all the ministers also liked him, worshiped him, and appreciated him. Zou Ji saw that King Qi Wei had this problem, so he told him: Chen Cheng is not as good as Xu Gongmei. the wife of a minister, a private minister; The concubine of the minister is afraid of the minister; The guests of the ministers want to ask for the ministers, and they are all beautiful to Xu Gong. ”
Zou Ji meant that the eldest wife praised him for being beautiful because she loved him, the younger wife praised him for being beautiful because she was afraid of him, and his friends praised him for being beautiful because they asked him. In other words, everyone praises him, in fact, they come with their own personal goals.
Gojong was obviously called up at night, and it was not a bad thing to have a story to hear, so he showed great interest at this time.
When King Qi heard this story, he sobered up and understood that everyone praised him for a personal purpose. If Zou Ji said directly: You are too stupid, others will compliment you because they are afraid of you and ask for you. If it is brought up directly like this, King Qi Wei definitely does not like to hear it. Therefore, Chinese counselors are very good at finding problems and reminding others. The spleen plays such a role in the human body. ”
Hearing that Li Zhi finally turned to the topic, the corner of Gaozong's mouth was meaningful.
"But that healer is obviously a person who is very self-conscious of his own cultivation, and tonight there is a teasing metaphor for Pei Yan's actions and feet that are secretly pointed at me! In doing so, he came up with the "Su Wen Linglan Secret Classics" of the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", which talks about the five internal organs and the twelve internal organs have their own metaphors. For example, the heart, the official of the monarch, the god is out of the sun, it is the function of controlling the viscera, and the full text note: Located in the south, the spirit should be ten thousand opportunities, so it is the official of the monarch. The spirit is quiet and the Lord is still alive, so the gods are out of the way. Another example is the lung, the official of the prime minister, the rule of moderation, the intention to weigh the governance, and so on. ”
"This is an apt description of pure paleomedicine, but what does it have to do with metaphor?"
"Because in the eyes of some cultivators, the means that can cause the illusion of hepatic coma are very simple, but this person has made a few more detours, and only reused the illusion of hepatic coma symptoms that could be achieved with only one poke for the four parts of the heart, the middle of the body, the liver, and the small intestine! Note the order of the four parts, the heart refers to the monarch; It is a ventilator; The liver is the breath of spring, and it has not yet germinated; The small intestine is meant to accommodate changes. The combination of the four means, I understand: who dredges the pathological vitality for the king, so that it can regain vitality? So that life has been extended, and then the original pathological trend has changed essentially! ”
Gaozong was furious, and his face suddenly showed a fierce and resolute expression, showing that he was subconsciously angry.
If what Li Zhi said is correct, it already shows that the conceit and arrogance in the metaphor of the cultivator who is a healer don't care about the life or death of the king at all, but has the ridiculous idea of hating his immortality, and comes to warn Li Zhi through this law!
"Holy Lord, you don't need to be angry, otherwise you will fall into the inferiority, and you will just fall into the hope of this person's heart. The reason why I asked the Prime Minister to elaborate on the details of this was to confirm from the side what kind of measures that man had taken. But this person obviously has at least the strength of the third-level master realm, so he dares to do it without concealment! But it also shows that he has no solution to this matter, because he is depressed and unbearable, and through this move, he has not vented the anger in his heart and poured out his thoughts! ”
"So, isn't this person very promising? A third-level master with a body of medical skills, why would he be willing to be a small ordinary doctor? And what you say that you can't put a strict investigation on him from behind, just sending people who can take him down in one fell swoop is already showing that we have insight into everything? ”
"Back to the saint, this person can make a secret move! Moreover, his actions were obviously done in private, and no one would find out, and even the person who sent him did not know about his private anger! Including that Jiang Sizong, he shouldn't know the true details of this person. Therefore, the Holy Lord's severe blow to him is the most fatal counterattack to the Lord behind him, so that he will not dare to be unscrupulous against you for a long time! ”
The words between the two were all about that person, and in fact, it was undoubtedly that Wu Zetian.
The reason why Li Zhi dared to expose the truth was also because of the impatience of the Empress Wu for a series of wanton acts in Chang'an City.
Now is the most critical initial stage of the construction of the Chang'an City Special Business Zone, allowing the Wuhou who is far away in Luoyang City to have frequent incidents, and if they don't respond properly, they will be aware of something.
It is the time when the foundation of the future business is consolidated, and only a year and a half before Gaozong is alive, in fact, Gaozong insists on going to Luoyang City, and also has the intention of shifting his attention.
Undoubtedly, this stupid fake doctor gave Gaozong the opportunity to strike the strongest counterattack at the right time, and the third-level master was already the strongest cultivator under the grandmaster, and his person must have an extremely important position on the side of the martial queen.
And she did not hesitate to send him to Chang'an City, obviously determined to find out why Gaozong, who was originally destined for a short time, did not see any signs of death.
Obviously, she didn't get any inside information from the two princes, and sent such an important person to come, and it was obvious that she was determined to find out why.
Once this person disappears in Chang'an City for no reason, it will undoubtedly bring a huge psychological shock to the Empress Wu, and her awe of Gaozong from the bottom of her bones will completely explode from then on.
Because she never expected that she thought she knew a lot about Gaozong, who had been with her for thirty years, suddenly had a kind of secret that was beyond her cognition and still had something she didn't grasp about the unknown, which would make her ambition change in her heart, and she would never dare to show it before Gaozong died.
Li Zhizhong's plan naturally made the wise and terrifying Gaozong comprehend, and the anger on his face disappeared in an instant, and he immediately looked at Li Zhi and laughed:
"Mr. Li, I really didn't misunderstand you! Your mind is sometimes amazing, especially when it comes to taking advantage of the situation, and there is already a faint shadow of my youth! Yes, if you think about it, I should be happy, first, at least to prove that my two emperors have not broken their promises and betrayed; Moreover, after this incident, I think that person will definitely not dare to point fingers at Chang'an City anymore! ”
"Therefore, it is imperative to secretly kill the person who dares to be disrespectful to the saint, and once this person is removed, it will at least be exchanged for the benefit of maintaining the status quo in Chang'an City for more than a year!"
Gaozong nodded deeply in agreement, his eyes drifted, Li Zhi knew that it was time for him to leave, so he hurriedly took out the vial and returned the pill:
"This is specially developed for the Holy Lord, which is formulated with the most precious opal, which naturally cannot bring protection to the Saint's longevity, but it can improve the resistance to disease, and it has a miraculous effect on the reduction of disease. Wait a minute, I'll hand it over to General Feng She, and I'll have one pill a day from tomorrow! ”
Nothing can be left unattended and directly handed over to the emperor, this is a matter of principle, and it is in the hands of the next person to send it to the Tai Hospital for examination.
And tonight is coming in secret, maybe the two princes don't know, Li Zhi will follow the previous arrangement, and enter the palace to meet Gaozong tomorrow, so the snuff delivery and the details of the trip to Lishan can only be postponed until tomorrow.
"The best opal? Haha, it seems that your kid has gained something from the trip to Lishan! Tomorrow comes, remember to bring me the biggest, of course, I will not treat you badly, but tonight you have to think about it, for this, what to give back to you to make your heart reluctant! ”
It was rare to see that Gaozong was in high spirits again, and Li Zhi took the opportunity to propose to inject a wisp of true qi into his body.
Gaozong raised his arm without thinking, and Li Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and lightly touched it, applying his true qi to make a slight internal conditioning, and when he didn't see any abnormalities, he bowed down and stepped back.
At this time, Li Ying didn't dare to communicate with Li Zhi anymore, and after making eye contact, he hurriedly entered the upper study and asked Gaozong what he planned to do next.
Li Yifang was sent to Wei Lingbi's storage place by another person, and when he jumped on horseback and drove a certain distance, he noticed a foreign object in the saddle under his buttocks.
Raised up to take it, unsurprisingly, it was something that Shangguan Wan'er sent someone to hide, and it wasn't until she left the Chengtian Gate that she opened the sachet to check it.
There must not be a clear mention on the note inside, but only through the vague time marker, Li Zhi knew that this would be the agreement for the two of them to meet at their home in the suburbs.
Before driving a few miles all the way, he saw Yang Gaoyu and Li Qi waiting on the side of the road, with his two hands, he naturally kept in a hidden place, and only when he saw Li Zhicai showed his figure.
"The two seniors don't have to be like this, with my current skills, there can still be things that cannot be handled?"
Li Zhi's tone was slightly apologetic, and it was not a pleasant thing to disturb the rest of the two in the middle of the night.
And his words are not crazy, although the actual realm is only a second-level master, but with the blessing of true qi, the third-level master can find him, and he can calmly retreat.
"We are also duty, we are all a family, why be so polite! After you left, a maid came to report it, which we had already told them. Tell me, what's the urgency that needs to summon you in the middle of the night? ”
The three of them drove out of Chang'an City quickly, and only then did Yang Gaotang ask.
Li Zhi explained the details in detail, and shook his head: "That martial queen can be regarded as having exhausted her organs, and it seems that her ambition has swelled to an almost uncontrollable state. That's fine, what Mr. Li said is right, that third-level master is indeed too self-righteous, as long as Emperor Gaozong takes this person down, he will definitely be deeply shocked by the future empress, and we will act much more smoothly in the future! ”
Because Yang Gaotang has extremely deep medical skills, he naturally knows more than he knows how difficult it is to find out how difficult it is for that person to use techniques to identify:
"Text, I didn't expect you to be able to find out just from the relay of others, as if you saw it yourself, and you are more refined than your Uncle Yang in this regard, even if I can identify it, it will take a while to think carefully!"
It was only then that he realized the reason, "It turns out that ancient Chinese medicine is so powerful, no wonder the old man values you so much!" ”
Li Zhi sighed, "But too much of the essence of ancient Chinese medicine has been lost, just because the true Chinese medicine technique requires extremely high and advanced cultivation as an aid, and if there is true qi, it will be even more magical." It is precisely because of this strict restriction that too many ancient prescriptions, from the hands of ordinary people, often do not get practical results, resulting in fewer and fewer people who really trust Chinese medicine! ”
"Text, why did you suddenly sigh so much?"
Yang Gaotang asked curiously.
"On the way west, I have seen the poor people in my country's border several times, and they have long stopped looking at traditional Chinese medicine, but trust Western medicine from Tianzhu."
In fact, this is due to the perception of later generations, Li Zhicai has such a perception and said it, but he doesn't want to be discovered by Yang Gaotang, so he can only push everything to the non-existent westward road.
