In response to this situation, Song Shenzong had to strictly deal with Xu Xi, who had already 'died fighting for the country', and demoted his family to Lingnan.

It was Xu Xi and Chong Ge who died, and Wang Wenyu and Wang Hao who did not die.

In fact, this battle of Lanzhou is a real battle that has taken place in historical facts.

It's a pity that due to Cai Dao's incurrence.

What was originally a hearty victory in the battle of Lanzhou turned into a complete fiasco.

Originally, the hero of Lanzhou's great victory, Wang Wenyu, who broke 100,000 yuan, was demoted to Hedong Road together with his main general Wang Hao and Zhongguan Li Xian after the disastrous victory of the Five Roads Expedition.

And Xu Xi, who originally died in the battle of Yongle City, became the culprit of the fiasco in the battle of Lanzhou.

The only one implicated in this is the main general, who has died of illness, as a strategic envoy of Xihe Road, he acted inappropriately, fell into the treacherous scheme of the Western Xia army, and took away the army guarding Lanzhou, and the Lanzhou garrison became fragile, resulting in a demote to the first rank.

Of course, he is not innocent, he was in the battle of Yongle City in the original historical facts, because Xu Xi did not listen to his own persuasion, and did not advance, and when Yongle City was besieged, he also supported the army and did not save it. led to the defeat of Yongle City.

The more unfortunate one is Shen Kuo, who has been transferred to other places, and he has not been able to escape punishment in the end. With his appreciation of Xu Xi in the past, others will not spare him.

The governor of a state was once again demoted to the deputy envoy of the Junzhou regiment and placed with the state. It also started the darkest days of his life. Actually, speaking of which, this matter is not a good thing for Shen Kuo.

This allowed him to stay away from the partisan strife in the court, but also to devote himself to the study of knowledge, and wrote the first encyclopedia in China, "Mengxi Writings".

Another minister who once recommended Xu Xi, Lu Huiqing, was already degradable, and Song Shenzong issued an edict never to use this capable minister who was extremely capricious and capricious.

In February of the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Lanzhou City was broken, and Cai Dao had a fierce rhetoric, and Song Shenzong's illness came like this.

It is precisely for this reason that after this defeat, Song Shenzong's old illness recurred, and the original ambition was completely exhausted.

As a result, Song Shenzong, who was originally very fond of Cai Dao, suddenly became indifferent to him, and the word "cold" became a little lighter, and the attitude of the official family even became extremely indifferent.

What's worse is that the crown prince Yan'an County King Zhao Fu originally had a good and bad attitude towards Cai Dao, and he thought that Song Shenzong's recurrence of the old disease this time was the culprit Cai Dao, and it was precisely because of his twists and turns that it was caused.

The ministers below did not come forward to force this matter, he was a child who had no official or position, and only had Jilu officials on his body, and he dared to participate in this kind of thing, and the people knew that it was naturally a cheer, but whether it was the official family, the harem, the prince or the ministers, they were all extremely disgusted with Cai Dao.

Therefore, the future emperor's attitude towards Cai Dao has become extremely bad.

In everyone's eyes, Cai Dao's future is worrying!

……

Among the ministers, there were those who died, and those who did not.

In the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Fu Bi, who lived to be eighty years old, died.

But Zeng Gong, who was supposed to be dead. But because of Cai Dao, he survived.

Zeng Gong's mother died of illness. It is likely that this was one of the main reasons for the sudden death of this knowledgeable elder.

It's not good, with Cai Dao's reminder and help, the old lady's condition recovered, and Cai Dao actively helped Zeng Gong to regulate his body, which can be regarded as pulling Zeng Gong back from the line of death.

Of course, Cai Dao did not get any benefits by doing this, at least, he found such a well-known mountain chief and mentor for his Cai Academy.

Zeng Gong, Mr. Nanfeng. A native of Nanfeng (now Nanfeng County, Jiangxi Province) in the Jianchang Army, he later lived in Linchuan and was the leader of Nanfeng Qizeng. He was born in a Confucian family, after the famous ministers.

In the second year of Song Renzong Jiayou, the scientific examination presided over by Ouyang Xiu personally advanced to the first. Since entering the official career, he has been working in the position of local officials and historians.

The fundamental reason for this is because of an irresponsible comment written by Lu Gong, 'Gong Xingyi is not as good as political affairs, and political affairs are not as good as articles', which led to Zeng Gong, who was obviously honest and honest in government, diligent in political affairs, and concerned about people's livelihood and suffering, but he failed to become prime minister in his life.

The world is Zaifu, either Han or Lu, this is a great hidden danger left by Song Renzong to the Great Song Kingdom.

On the contrary, Lu Gong wrote himself, in fact, he was just a mediocre bureaucrat.

If he himself is honest, then it is okay to say.

However, Lu Gong's work came from a big family, and it was not bad that he was not poor and extravagant in the local area, and he was clever and robbed. If it weren't for the prestige of the famous minister Lu Yijian, and the help of those big families in the court, he would be a talent in a hundred miles.

According to the idiom of stealing a high position, it is said that such a person. It is not difficult to see from this Song Shenzong, who is ambitious and talented, whose ability to recognize and employ people can be seen.

Chen Shidao is the bridge between Cai Dao and this great writer, and Cai Dao has visited this great writer since Chen Shidao entered Beijing, taking advantage of the fact that this talented man is a disciple of Zeng Gong.

In fact, Zeng Gong has not seen a guest for a long time these days.

As early as April of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, when Song Shenzong promoted Zeng Gong to Zhongshusheren, he had already put forward a request to Song Shenzong to Zhishi.

Therefore, Cai Dao was able to meet Zeng Gong, and it really relied on the master-apprentice relationship of Chen Shidao and Zeng Gong.

As soon as he saw him, Cai Dao found that Zeng Gong's complexion was very bad, and like his deceased grandfather, he actually had signs before the stroke. When he learned that Zeng Gong's mother was also seriously ill, Cai Dao proposed to visit the old lady.

As people get older, there will inevitably be problems with the parts of the body.

Zeng Gong's mother's serious illness this time was not the reason.

After observation and inquiry, Cai Dao found that the old lady herself was not seriously ill, just because of a momentary inattention, a small cold, which eventually caused a relatively mild chronic pneumonia.

And this symptom was actually misdiagnosed by the famous doctor who treated the old lady, who had always treated the old lady's illness according to the symptoms of typhoid fever.

After discovering this matter, Cai Dao did not hesitate, but told Zeng Gong his cognition directly.

Originally, at Cai Dao's age, he himself didn't believe that Zeng Gong, a knowledgeable elder, could believe his words.

But what actually happened greatly exceeded Cai Dao's own expectations.

Zeng Gong not only drove away the miracle doctor, but also asked Cai Dao to prescribe medicine to his old mother to cure her illness. In fact, Zeng Gong himself has always been suspicious of this miracle doctor, who was a small illness, and his stepmother now seems to be about to pass away.

Tuberculosis can be cured in later generations, let alone chronic pneumonia.

But this era is not a later generation, and there are no antibiotics.

Cai Dao has never studied Chinese medicine, so naturally he doesn't know how to prescribe any medicine, and he doesn't dare to prescribe prescriptions.

Fortunately, the symptoms of chronic pneumonia are not obvious in the old lady, her breathing is quite smooth, and she does not need oxygen.

The elderly with chronic pneumonia should not only eat nutritious food to supplement the patient's physical strength and qi and blood, but also eat something that is easy to digest and has a light taste.

The solution that Cai Dao can think of is to put Coptis chinensis into the porridge made of Jiang rice, and usually supplement it with the soup made from loquat leaves to clear the throat and moisten the lungs.

Of course, Cai Dao is not a doctor after all, and he doesn't dare to take care of everything, so he still persuades Zeng Gong to invite a doctor who thinks he is good at chronic pneumonia to diagnose and treat it. Only by prescribing the right medicine can the disease get better faster.

Zeng Gong was not a mortal after all, he personally entered the palace and asked Song Shenzong for a doctor to treat his stepmother.

As a result, just like Cai Dao said, the old lady did have chronic pneumonia, not typhoid fever. The reason why I look seriously ill now is that the medicine is poisonous, because I took the medicine for so long, and only found out that I took the wrong medicine in the end.

Nowadays, the old lady's illness is still mainly conditioning, and the imperial doctor is full of praise after seeing Cai Dao's prescription for the old lady's food supplement.

Zeng Gong also knew the seriousness of the matter, and did not tell anyone what Cai Dao had done, including the imperial doctor who wanted to know the owner of the food supplement formula. However, the imperial doctor still prescribed a conditioning prescription and handed it to Zeng Gong.

In this way, the old lady, who was originally seriously ill and had prepared the longevity clothes, actually came back to life, and Zeng Gong also survived.

It was supposed to be named 'Bianliang Primary School', but now, Cai Dao can only open a 'Cai's School'.

Cai Dao originally invited the chief of the mountain to this school, which is Yan Shu's youngest son and a famous lyricist - Yan Jidao. However, Yan Jidao, who originally had this intention, pretended to be closed after hearing the news that Cai Dao had lost his favor and the school was demoted, and Cai Dao went twice in a row, and even the subordinates of Yan Mansion ignored him.

This is the real reason why Cai Dao came to the rescue of Mrs. Zeng.

Otherwise, even a fool knows that it is clear that the two do not have a deep friendship, and when they first meet, they casually question the diagnosis of the old Chinese medicine doctor in someone's home, which is a big taboo!

In case, the old lady died of illness like this, Cai Dao had to take responsibility. Even if Zeng Gong was willing to spare the 'young and ignorant' Cai Dao, the other great powers of Nanfeng Seven Zeng would definitely not bypass Cai Dao so easily.

In July of the sixth year of Yuanfeng, after the autumn harvest of Genyue, on the land in the northeast corner of Jingshi, there was suddenly a very wide and large-scale school - "Cai's School", and its first mountain chief was Zeng Gong, Mr. Nanfeng.
