Chapter 391: The Crossroads of Life
This meal of flower wine, until the end of the night, with the idea of Young Master Tian and others, is to drink all night, although Chang'an curfew, but there is no curfew in Pingkangfang, you can drink and sing all night, as long as you don't go out of the gate of Pingkangfang, the curfew people will not care.
Zuo Shaoyang resolutely refused, he didn't want to stay overnight in a place like Pingkangfang, so he couldn't explain to Bai Zhihan when he went back.
Since Zuo Shaoyang insisted, Young Master Tian and the others had no choice but to give up and send him back to Master Qu's house.
A few days later, it was already the Laba Festival, and Zuo Gui's father had already purchased New Year's goods and was ready to leave for Hezhou. I saw that I was about to go, but I was tripped up.
The matter was provoked by Wu Shu.
But this incident brought Zuo Shaoyang to the crossroads of his life again!
That afternoon, Wu Shu and Young Master Tian hurried to Old Lady Qu's house to see Zuo Shaoyang. Zuo Shaoyang was still very moved, thinking that they were going to leave after getting the news, so they came to see them off, but Wu Shu said a word, which made Zuo Shaoyang angry. - Wu Shu said: "Brother Zuo, last time I wrote an article about the dialectical treatment of wind evil edema, and asked Zhen Quan for recommendation, but Zhen Quan's old doctor asked me to go to his house to treat wind poison edema for the imperial historian's inspection department Shangshu Du Yan!" Help me! Brother Zuo. ”
"What did you say?" Zuo Shaoyang's eyes widened.
Wu Shu said: "After the states raise people and things to pay tribute, they must be sponsored by famous people in the capital, and the tribute can be passed before they can finally be given the qualifications." People from all over the country should vote their proud works to the famous masters in the capital, so as to seek their appreciation and recommendation. The younger brother knows that his medical skills are mediocre, and he can't win the appreciation of medical experts by relying on his own medical skills. Therefore, the younger brother took up Brother Zuo's idea, and under the pretext of asking for medical skills, he asked Brother Zuo about the argument about wind evil edema. ”
Zuo Shaoyang's face was gloomy, as if it was a storm, staring at him: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Wu Shu said with a bitter face: "That day, the younger brother went to Zhen Quan's old god doctor medical hall to cast his hand, and happened to learn that the imperial historian Du Yan was suffering from wind poison edema, and the current emperor ordered the Zhen brothers to treat the imperial historian. The old doctor Zhen Quan was helpless, and his younger brother Taichang Temple Cheng Zhen Liyan Zhen was blunt, saying that the imperial doctor was incurable, and he would die at noon on the eleventh. It's only seven days until then! Lord Du's family refused to accept his fate, and let out the words, who can cure Lord Du's illness, not only thank him, but also fully sponsor him. So ......"
"So you and the rest of you came and invited me to drink flower wine, drunk me, and asked me how to cure rheumatic edema?"
Wu Shu and Young Master Tian were both ashamed, Wu Shunuo said: "Yes, after the junior brother wrote down what the left brother said, he wrote an article on the evidence of wind poison edema, the original intention was to attract the appreciation of the old doctor Zhen Quan, and the little brother can be recommended, but the old doctor Zhen Quan actually followed the prescription, but the wind poison edema certificate of Lord Du Yan of the imperial historian was magically slightly improved!" Lord Du's family was overjoyed, and ordered the Zhen brothers to summon the younger brother to meet him at his house immediately, and begged Brother Zuo to save his life! ”
After saying that, Wu Shu bowed, his voice was choked and panicked, and Young Master Tian also bowed beside him to ask for help.
Zuo Shaoyang sneered with a gloomy face: "I have said that the treatment is based on the symptoms, and the prescription you told is not for the treatment of the disease, you are good, take it to treat Lord Du, Lord Du is the imperial doctor, do you know what kind of character it is?" That's a high-ranking official of the imperial court! The emperor personally asked the Zhen brothers to treat him, what a deal! But you're going to poke the hornet's nest! How many heads do you have? ”
Doctor Yu Shi is from the third grade, responsible for picketing hundreds of officials, equivalent to the secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Although the power of the imperial historian was weakened in the late Tang Dynasty, in the early Tang Dynasty, the power was still very large.
Du Yan is not only the imperial doctor, but also the inspection of the school officials, the early Tang Dynasty inspection is the meaning of the agent, there was no secretary at that time, Du Yan acted for the position.
Zuo Shaoyang actually didn't know what kind of high-ranking official Doctor Yushi was, anyway, it must be a high-ranking official, otherwise, he would have invited the Zhen brothers, the old miracle doctors, to treat him together.
He studied the history of medicine and knew that many imperial doctors were killed by the emperor because they were not cured of the emperor's favored high-ranking officials, and Wu Shu didn't know what to do, so in order to get a recommendation, he wrote a medical article on syndrome differentiation and treatment for the wind poison edema of the imperial doctor and handed it to the old doctor Zhen Quan, but he didn't expect to get burned, and now people noticed this article and called him over, obviously to let him help treat the disease, and Wu Shu's medical skills are mediocre, this medical skill is not fake, and a mouth will be exposed, and I am afraid that I will be executed for the crime of bullying the king. So I panicked and came to ask Zuo Shaoyang for help.
Wu Shu said with a bitter face: "Brother Zuo, I didn't know it would cause such a big trouble. Just because Brother Zuo is unwilling to catch a pen for the younger brother, and the medical skills of the person invited by the younger brother are far inferior to Brother Zuo, he has no choice but to think that he can make a fuss about the recommendation, if he can get the sponsorship of the old doctor Zhen brothers, and the first is expected, and it happened to know that they are having a headache with wind poison edema, and when the younger brother went to Hezhou before, he learned that Brother Zuo was like a god in treating edema in Hezhou, and he cured countless patients. After the casting, there was no news, in order to attract attention, the younger brother sent another copy to the residence of the imperial doctor, and added a sentence at the end, saying that this party had cured edema and dying, and countless patients died. So it attracted the attention of Dr. Yushi's family and sent it to Doctor Zhen, asking for medicine according to this prescription to see the effect. After Zhen Laoshen was treated, it actually worked, so he invited the younger brother to meet him. The younger brother realized that he had caused a big disaster, and the little brother was obsessed with ghosts, and I hope that Brother Zuo will help me! ”
Zuo Shaoyang said with a gloomy face: "How do you want me to help you?" ”
When Wu Shu heard this, he thought that Zuo Shaoyang had agreed, and he was immediately pleasantly surprised: "The younger brother wants to ask Brother Zuo to be wronged, pretend to be my medicine boy, go with me, and help from the side, anyway, the imperial doctor is already terminally ill and hopeless, just help me to deal with one or two, and talk about this pass, even if I can't cure the illness of Dr. Yushi, it will not be ugly, and everything will be fine." Don't dare to ask for anything else! ”
"I'm sorry!" Zuo Shaoyang said coldly, "I don't want to be an official, let alone provoke officials, especially high-ranking officials, treating the imperial doctor is not a joke, the two old doctors can't help it, especially Zhen Liyan said that this disease is not cured, and he still makes up, isn't this looking for death?" I'm not going! I also advise you not to go, if he doesn't recommend it, you find someone else, there are famous doctors in the capital. ”
Wu Shu said with a bitter face: "But the trouble has already been caused, Brother Zuo, I don't want to go, but Master Du won't let me go, and besides, I won't go if Old Doctor Zhen tells me to go, and if it is passed out, what will others think?" Either I think I'm arrogant and virtuous, or I don't think I'm capable......"
"Do you think you have what it takes?"
Wu Shu said with a smile: "The younger brother doesn't have this ability, so he came to ask Brother Zuo." ”
"You don't measure yourself, I don't stop you from being famous, you can't rely on your own skills! - I can't control this matter, and I don't want to close it, my own affairs are troublesome enough! ”
"I know everything about you, -- Old Lady Yu repented of his marriage, Uncle He is not angry, although there are people behind Yu's family, and Old Lady Yu's brother-in-law is Master Liu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, but he is still angry, and insists on fighting a lawsuit in the capital, which is really admirable." Wu Shu seemed to have grasped the last straw, "But this time it is Dr. Yu Shi who is sick, if we get this thing done, can't we ask Dr. Yu Shi to help you deal with the matter of Dr. Yu's repentance of marriage?" The dignified five-grade high-ranking official repented of his marriage, and the imperial doctor could have participated in his copy, so that he couldn't eat and walked around! Isn't he just obedient? ”
Zuo Shaoyang's heart moved, this was a good idea, and he said coldly: "Then I can recommend myself for treatment, why help you?" ”
Wu Shu smiled: "Brother Zuo, to say something that offends you, Doctor Yushi is a high-ranking official and important minister of the imperial court, and his illness is not something that can be seen by any doctor." Otherwise, the emperor would not have handpicked the Zhen brothers to treat him. ”
Zuo Shaoyang was a little embarrassed, this is the truth, the important ministers of the court are all treated by the imperial doctor, and the outside doctor Langzhong is not close to the side at all, and he is said to be a little-known doctor in the capital, that is, the famous doctor Langzhong in the capital, Mao Sui recommended himself, and he will not be allowed to treat the imperial doctor.
Zuo Shaoyang said again: "I can go to Old Doctor Zhen and tell him the prescription for treatment." ”
Wu Shu smiled a little proudly: "Brother Zuo, it's not that the younger brother is talking big, if you want to see the old doctor Zhen Quan, you can't just see it, you have to spend a lot of money." In order to recommend him, I spared no expense, so he had to read my article carefully. It is so rare to see the old doctor Zhen who opened a medical hall, not to mention the Taichang Temple Cheng Zhen Liyan Zhen, and ordinary people can't see him. Even if they do, can they easily believe your recipe? ”
Zuo Shaoyang was speechless again, this is also the truth, in order to see Zhen Quan, he quarreled with Zhen Quan's son, although through Qiao Qiaoer's best friend Zhen Yao may be able to find a way to meet, but the Zhen brothers may not believe their own prescription, and may not even have the patience to listen to their own treatment plan. The reason why Wu Shu's article was able to get Zhen Quan's attention and make an appointment with him was that money played a role.
Wu Shu saw that Zuo Shaoyang was a little moved, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "The imperial historian Du Yandu is a man who is in charge of the government and the opposition, he is an official who specializes in managing hundreds of officials, I heard that he has a lot of means, and he is selfless, as long as he is willing to come forward to help you find out why the old lady doctor's family regrets the marriage, he will definitely be able to do it!" It will definitely help your family win this lawsuit and take your daughter-in-law back. Now is the best chance, you go with me! - Only by following me, you will have a chance to try to see if you can save Master Du, if you can save his old man, hehehe, what is it to marry a daughter-in-law, you just wait to soar! ”
Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said, "I still can't help you!" ”
