Early in the morning, Yan Zhiyuan received the Ming Fa edict from the envoy to the three dynasties, and he was really overjoyed. After a busy night, I packed my luggage, ordered the servants, hired the boatman, and hired the master...... He wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible and avoid the right place.

For half a year, he watched coldly, and felt that Wang Shang and Cao Ze were not easy to mess with. It's like two whirlwinds, expanding their power. If you come close to any of the vortices once in a while, you will feel a strong wind blowing in your face, and a huge gravitational pull will pull you towards the center. He understands that with his identity, it will be very dangerous to get involved in either side. When these two whirlwinds collide together, what will be the result, will it be like a tornado to uproot trees and houses, and make the government unmanageable?

He didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't help but think about it. After Xiao Zhi became pro-government, Cao Ze and Xiao Yan came to visit twice; Xiao Zhi also sent Sima Ni and Xie Lan to visit him twice. Every time a person comes, it brings him new uneasiness. Sometimes he felt like he was alone in a flat boat floating between the vast sky and water, and one day he would fall into the bottomless depth. Whenever anything happened in the court, he had to break it up, close it up, crumple it, and pinch it again to weigh it. If I continue to be tortured like this, I'm afraid I'm going to really get sick. At this time, he received an envoy to negotiate, although it was also a difficult one, but at least he could leave the capital in a dignified manner, how could he not be happy?

After a busy night, the next day he hurried to the Taihe Hall to ask for training. Xiao Zhi sent a message to see him.

Looking at the haggard man kneeling in front of him, seeing that he had gray hair and skinny hair, as if he was much older, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but feel a sense of pity and sympathy in his heart: Yes, if he insisted that Yan Zhiyuan and Cao Ze openly face each other, I am afraid that he would also end up with Xue Bilong. At present, he is willing to hold on to the center, and he still has a conscience. After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly found that Yan Zhiyuan was still kneeling, and sighed lightly and said, "Get up and sit down!" ”

Yan Zhiyuan kowtowed. When he sat on the wooden stool below and looked up, Luo He looked like a protector god next to Xiao Zhen. The several guards who were transferred back also all had serious expressions, their eyes did not squint, and they were very powerful. Xiao Zhi only shook a fan and sat on it calmly, smiling and chatting with him, without the majesty of the emperor at all, but like a handsome son, looking very comfortable and chic.

As the two talked, Xiao Zhi asked, "I have sent people to visit you a few times, and you always say that you are not well, but now you are better?" ”

Yan Zhiyuan's face flushed, and he hurriedly bowed and replied: "The disease of the minister's dogs and horses, the king of Duolao is worried!" The king has been blessed recently. ”

"Go to the south this time, stay away from the land of right and wrong, and your illness will be cured." Xiao Zhi shook his fan, didn't wait for Yan Zhiyuan to reply, and then asked, "What do you think of going to the Three Dynasties to negotiate?" ”

Yan Zhiyuan hurriedly replied: "This matter is very important, and the minister must handle it properly." ”’

"Listen up!" Kangxi's face changed, and he suddenly said: "Whether it's grain or silver, you try not to talk about it, only talk about things that can only be cashed out in the future with the people of the Three Dynasties!" ”

Yan Zhiyuan was shocked by this edict, and he wanted to ask, so he listened to Kangxi continue: "Now the country of Qi has been plagued by natural disasters and man-made disasters year after year, and people are hungry everywhere, so everything has to be close to the country. Seeing that Yan Zhiyuan was in a daze, Xiao Zhi accentuated his tone, "So, just promise them the benefits that it will bring them in the future, although my Daqi has not been very smooth in recent years, but I can fight well and enjoy the reputation of the six countries, and the three dynasties will not easily start a war with us - that will only benefit the other four countries, and stabilize the situation first." We'll talk about that later. ”

He said the word "man-made disaster" loudly. Yan Zhiyuan's heart was pounding: At Xiao Zhi's age, he is still a child, and he doesn't understand anything. I heard that Xiao Zhi only knew how to hunt and play all day long, or he went around on a visit, unruly, and did not pay much attention to the government and politics, who would have expected him to be so familiar with the situation and have thought of countermeasures - although some scoundrels! When peeking at it, Xiao Zhi was also staring at himself seriously, and hurriedly replied: "What the king said is very true! ”

"Anyway, you're going to the south, so I'll entrust you with another thing! Secret! Xiao Zhi saw that he was in the trap, and hurriedly said: "You must make four million taels of silver within a year, and secretly transfer from the canal to the north to listen to my dispatch." If the canal is blocked, it is necessary to raise money on the spot to dredge it. Just in case. ”

Yan Zhiyuan got up and started playing: "Where can I find so many silver taels?" How to handle it, please let the king know. ”

"It's up to you to think of yourself, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I have also carefully weighed this number, how they can come up with it, it depends on your ability." The amount of four million taels is the amount estimated by Shen Lian and him a while ago against the southern tax ledger, thinking of this, Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "The ancients are cloudy, the general is outside, and the king's order is not affected!" ”

Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood. Money is not everything, but no money is impossible – this is common in all ages.

Yan Zhiyuan silently did not answer.

Xiao Zhi knew what he meant, and sneered: "With me in charge of you, don't worry." Well, I'll help you again. But I also want to tell you, if you go to the three dynasties and raise money, if you mess up, I will punish you as easily! As he spoke, he picked up the red pen and wrote a royal decree, "Yan Zhiyuan's silver raising matter is a special order of the king, and the internal and external ministers are not allowed to interfere, Qin this!" After writing it, he threw it to Yan Zhiyuan, "This is enough for you to deal with." You're smart and do what you want! ”

"Yan Gong, you have to understand that you don't have to participate in the changes in the wind and rain in the capital. But it is your duty as a courtier to serve the country, all the time. Xiao Zhi didn't seem to care, and said with a smile, "Yan Gong has been infiltrated by the court for a long time, and he is also in charge of the ministry, no one knows and understands corruption better than you." If you still pretend to be confused - then you don't have to do the position of Auxiliary Minister and Prince. ”

Seeing that Xiao Zhi no longer spoke, Yan Zhiyuan thought about it again and again, and finally said: "What the king said, the old minister remembered in his heart. Although the current political situation is peaceful, there are also hidden worries, and the south is not calm. ”

"It's like a word." Xiao Zhi nodded and smiled, "It's good that you understand." Kneel down! ”

Coming out of the Taihe Palace, Yan Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had been suppressed by Xiao Zhi during the conversation just now, and he couldn't even interject half a sentence, but he was a little jealous. Looking at this Xiao Zhen's age, he is giggling on weekdays, but when he gets serious, his strategic aura cannot be underestimated.

is an incomprehensible person, Yan Zhiyuan shook his head, anyway, he is going to leave this vortex, honestly go to the south on an errand, save his life, better than anything else.

A few little eunuchs led Yan Zhiyuan out leisurely, and when he was about to walk to the palace gate. Yan Zhiyuan looked at Xie Lan and Li Hui not far away, walking towards the palace in a hurry, it seemed that they were going in the direction of the king's sleeping palace.

Is the king sick? I didn't see any discomfort just now, did you?

Yes........ Could that rumor be true? The king is so young that he doesn't lift it? It's not a good thing to be precocious!

Thinking of this, the previous worries and fears were swept away, Yan Zhiyuan thanked the eunuchs, and went out of the palace on an errand refreshed.

Xie Lan walked in front with Imperial Physician Song, and Li Hui followed closely and went straight to the king's bedroom. Looking at the back of Imperial Physician Song, Li Hui couldn't help but wonder: this old man with a yellow face and a thin face has a mediocre appearance, but his triangular eyes radiate a thief's bright light, and he doesn't look like a good person. Does he really have such special abilities? Why is Xie Lan so respectful to him?

Xie Lan was very worried at this time, this time the king summoned Imperial Doctor Song, which was what he expected, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and he didn't even have time to inquire about the details. As far as I heard the news a few days ago, this Song Taiyi was originally a Taoist cultivator who practiced in seclusion, how could he go out of the mountains and return to the world, and who he entrusted to enter the Tai Hospital, no one knows. Seeing that he is profound, will he be an undercover agent sent by some country...... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but gasp. Seeing that Imperial Physician Song and Li Hui had already entered the dormitory first, they didn't have time to think about it, so they hurriedly followed.

Because the will was given to Xie Lan, as usual, Xie Lan replied to pay the will. Xie Lan stepped forward and asked for an answer: "Song Qinglian of the Tai Hospital is here!" ”

Xiao Zhi returned to the dormitory for a while, half-lying on the couch, with a yellow silk belt on his head, glanced at this thin and short man who was not good-looking, and said, "You are Song Qinglian, Song Imperial Doctor?" ”

"Yes," Song replied, kowtowing. "The minister Song is honest and honest and ordered to diagnose the holy disease." The sound is not loud, but the middle air is extremely abundant.

Xiao Zhi nodded and said, "I have a little cold, and I don't need to look at the pulse, you can prescribe me a prescription to evacuate and evacuate." ”

Song Qinglian raised his head and looked at Xiao Zhen, and said unhurriedly: "The minister has the courage to ask for a consultation on the holy vein, otherwise, he will not dare to do the wide method." ”

Xiao Zhi saw that he insisted, so he had to reach out and put it on a small yellow pillow. Song Qinglian approached on his knees, thought quietly, closed his eyes and knocked on his left wrist first, and then touched the right side, then knelt down and retreated, kowtowed to the ground and said: "According to the minister's humble opinion, the king's illness is not caused by wind and cold, but because of depression and stagnation, and his mind is not clear." If it doesn't work, it hurts, and the main head is dizzy and swollen, which is quite like a wind chill, but it's not. ”

"In that case," Xiao Zhi said with a smile, "let's go down and make a prescription for decoction." ”

Song Qinglian did not move, but only kowtowed and said: "The king does not need medicine for this disease." If it doesn't work, it's not too late to do it. ”

Xiao Zhi was very interested, sat up and asked, "Do you have any good ideas, let me try it!" ”

Song Qinglian smiled, "Please sit still!" After speaking, his hands were arched high, three feet away from Xiao Zhen's head, and he didn't move, but slowly gathered Dao Qi, and after a while, his hands were blue and light.

Li Hui watched him make trouble and cure diseases, and secretly wondered, is this person a god? Su Wan, Fang Fei and Wei Dongting, who were standing on the side, knew that he was using Dao power to cure Xiao Zhen's disease, but it was extremely rare to use Dao power to cure illness, and only a few people who had attained Dao could do it.

Xiao Zhi also felt funny at first, and slowly felt a cool and sweet feeling, from the top of his head to the mud pills. The sun and the Yin Tang acupoints infiltrated in, and at first there was only a feeling of numbness, and the heart was full of only the cool breeze, such as climbing high in autumn, and the miscellaneous worries were washed away, and gradually even the feeling of numbness was gone. At this time, the blood veins were reversed, the head was a little dizzy, and the utensils in the hall were rotating, and they were busy closing their eyes.

Song Qinglian and luckily ordered Xiao Zhen, the sun, the eyes of the eye, the four white, Hegu, Anmian, Dantian, Tanzhong, Yuji, Shaoshang, Shaoze and other acupuncture points, and so on several times.

Xiao Zhi only felt that all the meridians on his body were gradually opened. I tried my luck, and sure enough, it wasn't as muddy and uncomfortable as before, and I had an indescribable feeling of pleasure.

What kind of person is a physician who has such ability?

For half an hour, Song Qinglian took a breath and put down his hand, kowtowed on his stomach and said, "Your Majesty, please open your eyes." ”

Xiao Zhi originally wanted to think about things, and in addition, he had been practicing frequently recently, and his head hurt a little, so he used the topic to summon Song Qinglian, mainly to meet this strange person. I was a little unimpressed when we first met, but he was really capable. When I opened my eyes at this time, I suddenly felt that the room was clear, my mind was calm, and I was very relaxed. couldn't help but be overjoyed, took off the yellow silk belt on his head, shook his head and said with satisfaction: "I really can't see it, you can also spell!" ”

Song Qinglian just smiled and said: "This illegal technique is just the use of Dao Qi, the king uses the fire Dao, and I use the Wind Dao, the wind sharpens the fire." As long as you use it right, it will work wonders. The minister used the innate internal qigong he had practiced in the past to force into the body of the king, and he was able to correct the evil and the evil and relax the muscles and activate the nerves. ”

Xiao Zhi originally wanted to test his kung fu, but now he believes more and more. Then he asked, "Are you capable of internal qigong?" ”

Song Qinglian said: "I don't dare to say fine, I only know a little bit about it"

Xiao Zhi smiled: "You can demonstrate a set for me." Xie Lan saw that Xiao Zhi asked Song Qinglian to practice, so he was not very relieved, so he stood up first and stood close to Xiao Zhi's side.

"The minister doesn't dare to be presumptuous!" Song Qinglian replied, pressed his hands lightly, stood up, but did not move, just smiled and said nothing.

Everyone was surprised, and suddenly looked underground, and couldn't help but be surprised - it turned out that Song Qinglian asked the moment he got up, and when he pressed the power of the Dao, the six square bricks on the ground with his hands, knees, and feet had cracked and sunk!

"Good, good! This is amazing! Xiao Zhi had already seen it, applauded and laughed, "It's really an incomprehensible sea." With such ability, how can you bow down for a long time! Hello for yourself, I will have a place for you in the future. ”

Li Hui saw that the king was happy, so he took the finest seal—twenty taels of gold—and held it over.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Such a character can't be sent away with money. Then he pointed to the jade Ruyi on the case, and said with a smile: "This is for you!" ”

Song Qinglian did not accept the thanks, but just arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence that I want to ask the king, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Ask, what's wrong with that?" Xiao Zhenzheng felt that he had another trump card in his hand, and he was very excited, and he didn't want to say it.

Song Qinglian looked left and right, and saw Li Hui, Xie Lan, Su Wan, Fang Fei, and a group of guards and eunuchs standing beside him, a little disappointed, "The minister just wants the king to listen to this sentence alone." ”

"There's nothing you can't say to your face." Seeing that Song Qinglian still insisted, Xiao Zhi had no choice but to pose to the people around him and say, "You, everyone, stand farther away." ”

Song Qinglian stepped forward and said a word in Xiao Zhen's ear.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhi was stunned for a long time as if he was possessed by an evil ghost, his mouth was wide open, and he looked at Song Qinglian with very disbelieving eyes.

Could it be a fraud? Xie Lan saw that Xiao Zhi's expression was wrong, and he was about to take someone forward to escort him, but Xiao Zhi stopped them with one hand.

"You all go out." Before everyone could react, Xiao Zhi repeated again: "Immediately, everyone goes out, the door is closed, and no one is allowed to come in, I want to talk to Imperial Doctor Song alone." ”

The king's commands cannot be disobeyed. Everyone didn't know what was going on, so they all went out.

In Nuoda's dormitory, the lights were bright, but there were only Xiao Zhi and Song Qinglian, which seemed a little empty.

"You..... Repeat what you just said, I'm ...... I didn't hear too clearly. ”

"I—said—yes." Song Qinglian said word by word, and said clearly, "Friend, do you know Amway?" ”

"Yes, of course I do." Xiao Zhi quickly ran forward, hugged Song Qinglian tightly and didn't let go, and shouted excitedly, "I still bought it!" ”

Amway, that's good, what a good thing. For the first time in his life, Xu Zi'an felt that suffering was a blessing.
