Chapter 176: The Great Tribulation is Imminent
"Master......"
Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Xi couldn't help but stop and turn around to look, and saw that Banrong's face was ruddy, and he really deceived himself, so he couldn't help but step forward and reprimand: "How did you lie to Master, don't you know Master best?" Master said that those who do not rule the royal family are those who do not rule the royal family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Banrong's face was embarrassed, he pulled Xu Xi over, and whispered: "Master, this is in the bazaar, your voice is light, if the disaster comes out of your mouth, it will not be good." β
"Seeing that you're okay, I'm relieved, now I'm going back as a teacher, good disciple, don't keep me, you can't keep Master." Xu Xi pushed her away from the hand he was holding and was about to go back.
Banrong was willing to let him go, and finally waited for him to come, if he let him go like this, wouldn't it be a waste of all his efforts, while pulling him hard, he said, "Master, listen to me say a few words." β
"I don't listen, I don't listen, this matter is not negotiable." Xu Xi struggled to break free from her shackles, but the two were firmly stuck together like cooked glutinous rice, and they couldn't be separated.
"Master!" Banrong had a plan, suddenly let go of his hand, met Xu Xi's somewhat stunned gaze, and said in frustration, "Master, let's go, anyway, the life and death of the apprentice has nothing to do with the master." β
Xu Xi really stopped and asked in surprise, "What do you mean by this?" Aren't you fine, not poisoned? β
Seeing that she didn't speak, he went to pull her arm again, and said a little anxiously: "What's wrong?" β
"Huh...... Master, you can go. Banrong pushed his arm away and walked in the direction of the East Palace, and Xu Xi hurriedly took steps to catch up.
Chasing straight to the gate of the East Palace, Xu Xicai stopped in front of her and said: "I can't go any further, if I go again, I will enter the East Palace, Banrong, just tell the master what you have to do, what's the point of leading me all the way to the East Palace?" β
"Master...... Concubine Gao Xian said, if I can't save the emperor, I don't have to live, and I really can't save the emperor. That's when I thought about finding Master. But now that I think about it, I am too selfish, and if Master can't save the emperor, I will implicate Master. Master treats me like a biological father, how can I bear this charge of unfilial piety? So, Master, let's go back. As he spoke, Banrong was about to walk past him to the palace gate.
Xu Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her, and said with a gloomy face: "What kind of illness did the emperor have?" β
"The emperor has been in a coma since the last time. I have been unconscious, and I had symptoms of crooked mouth and slanted eyes and salivation at the corners of my mouth, but I have controlled it with acupuncture. Seeing that he suddenly asked about the emperor's illness, Banrong mistakenly thought that he had agreed to treatment.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xi just thought about it and said: "Xu is a precursor to a violent illness, this is a very dangerous disease, even if it is cured, it will recur in the future, good apprentice, it is better to go with the master." Don't stay here. β
Banrong's face sank, he shook off Xu Xi's hand, and walked towards the palace gate without saying a word.
"Banrong, you heard from the master, this disease is really dangerous, not to mention whether the patient will develop in the future, just the symptoms of aphasia, blindness, hemiplegia and other symptoms after this disease are great hidden dangers." Xu Xi followed Banrong's pace closely. As a result, his wheezing continued to worsen.
Banrong walked here and saw that there was no one, so he stopped and said to Xu Xi: "Master, I know your rule of not treating royal people, but aren't the people of the Xu family treating people in the palace?" Since the Xu family has no enmity with the imperial court. Then why does Master just refuse to let go of the knots in his heart? β
"The Xu family does not have an enmity with the imperial court, so I did not ask others to be like me and adhere to the principle of not treating people in the palace, but I will never break this principle." Xu Xi's tone was cold and hard to the extreme.
Banrong was chilled by his voice, and bit his lip and begged, "But does Master know?" This is the emperor. The emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, if the emperor died violently today, what would happen to Jiankang, and what would become of the world? Master knows very well in his heart that he should make an exception for the sake of the people, okay? β
"Anyone can come and beg me to treat the emperor, but you can't, because of your ......" Xu Xi was stuck, and sighed softly at the surprised gaze of the upper half of the face, "Because you are the one who knows the master best." β
"Master doesn't care about that apprentice's life?" Banrong couldn't convince him, so he had to resort to a killer move.
Xu Xi scratched his head irritably, sat down on the stone bench on the side, supported his head with his hands, and thought for a long time before saying: "I can't treat him, I'll tell you a few prescriptions, you can try it for the time being, this is already my limit, don't force the master anymore, otherwise the master will have to knock you out and take it away." β
"Does Master think I'm going to be able to go? The people in the city are concerned about the emperor's condition, and everyone pays attention to me, no matter where I go, there are people watching me, this time, the disciple is really life and death in this move. Banrong hung his head, fiddling with his nails and stopped making a sound.
The two were silent for a long time, and Xu Xi suddenly spoke: "Do you know the number one family in the world, the Shen family?" β
"I don't know......" Half-Rong couldn't understand why he suddenly asked such a sentence, and shook his head.
"More than 20 years ago, the Shen family's power became bigger and bigger, which caused many people to blush and dissatisfied, and at that time, there were a lot of disputes with the former Jiangcheng Alliance leader, which set off a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes. Until the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the establishment of the Song State, and the resurgence of new forces, the three giants at that time, the Zhu family, the Ji family and the Liu family, in order to ensure that their status and power were not violated, they played a concert to remove the forces on the rivers and lakes. At that time, in order to get rid of the Shen family, the Liu family negotiated with Jiang Cheng and wiped out the Shen family, but he Jiang Cheng didn't expect that those black hands also stretched out to him, and from then on, there was no Jiang Cheng and the Shen family in this world. β
When Xu Xi talked about this, his voice was so heavy that his eyelids sank, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw him stop, turned his head to look at Xu Xi, and saw his red eyes.
"What's wrong with Master? Does this Shen family and Jiang Cheng have anything to do with Master? Banrong rarely saw Xu Xi's face, and he couldn't help but be concerned at the moment.
"Shen Wenzhi and Li Jun are friends of life and death with the master, and they once emulated the ancestors in Taoyuan...... The end of a tragic death. When Xu Xi said this, his voice trembled violently, and he hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Don't talk about it, you still don't understand these grievances." β
"Master......" Banrong listened to his words for some reason, and felt sad from his heart.
Xu Xi stood up, turned his back and said: "The wind and phlegm are blocked, the qi and blood are not smooth, the moss is slippery, the tongue is dark and purple, and the pulse should be slippery, is what the master said right?" β
"What the master said is not wrong at all, but the effect of searching for wind and phlegm and circulating blood stasis and circulation is not great......" Banrong looked at Xu Xi with some puzzlement.
Xu Xi tilted his head and asked, "Which pair of medicines did you use?" Is it gastrodia, tangerine peel, or earth dragon, whole scorpion, or Yuanzhi calamus? β
"Gastrodia tangerine peel extinguishes wind and dissolves phlegm, earth dragon scorpion search wind and channel, Yuanzhi calamus dissolves phlegm and Xuanqi, and the wind and blood circulation of sign grass and safflower, I have used these four prescriptions, but I still don't see the emperor wake up, it's really strange."
"I think the emperor is phlegm and heat is on the high side, add whole melon and Sichuan fritillary to clear phlegm and heat," Xu Xi muttered for a while, "plus hook vine, stone cassia, and prunella grass to calm the liver and extinguish the wind and latent yang." β
Banrong took two steps, and suddenly turned back and said, "What the master said is extremely true, but does the master really not take a look at the emperor's illness?" Prescribing medicine without looking at it has always been a taboo for doctors. β
"It's okay, eight or nine are not far from ten, don't worry, you have a number for the teacher, otherwise the master wouldn't dare to tell you that."
Seeing him say this, Banrong had no intention of arguing, and went to the palace according to his method, but he didn't think that at dusk, the emperor woke up, and the news made everyone shocked.
It's just that the emperor wanted to speak, but his speech was slurred and very vague, which made Concubine Gao Xian a little worried, and after asking for half a face, she knew that it would be fine if she took a few more medicines, so she was relieved.
When Liu Yan learned that the emperor was fine, he naturally relaxed, and immediately planned to send his troops back to the barracks, but he had to be stopped by Chu Shenxia, who came in a hurry.
"Why? In the past, I sent troops to guard around the palace in order to deal with emergencies, but now that my father has woken up, if I don't withdraw from the army, my father will think more about it. β
Chu Shenxia glanced around and said in a deep voice: "The emperor can't walk on his feet and can't speak now, how can he think more?" His Royal Highness thinks that when it is the safest, maybe it is a good opportunity in the mouth of others, Liu Yu is slow to make a move, this is a bit different from his style, I am worried that he will have further actions. In any case, His Royal Highness must be careful, not to mention, since this soldier has left the barracks, it is better to defend it to the end. β
Liu Yan nodded, Chu Shenxia realized that after not seeing him for many days, Liu Yan had lost a lot of weight, and then looked at the soldiers on the side, all of them looked tired and haggard, and couldn't help but say at the moment: "In the past ten days, it is really His Highness and the soldiers, the day the emperor recovers his senses, His Royal Highness can withdraw the soldiers, it is better to let the soldiers rest for a day on that day, so as not to be tired." β
"Naturally, it is necessary, this day and night is not easier than marching and fighting, we sometimes patrol in the middle of the night, just for fear of something, but fortunately, the soldiers work together to make Jiankang so calm." Liu Yan said with a smile of relief.
Chu Shenxia just smiled meaningfully, hiding all his thoughts behind his eyes, he knew that Jiankang would not be calm forever, and a catastrophe might be coming.
He had to make all the preparations before the catastrophe came.
