Chapter 41: The Worn Horse's Hoof
Two days later, Xie Yi was ordered to visit Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and it was said that the king of Jin wanted to thank him in person for saving his life.
Li Zhi is young, and he knows how to be polite!
It stands to reason that he should politely excuse himself, but Xie Yi didn't, and he had a rare opportunity to contact Li Zhi, so he couldn't waste it.
Under the guidance of the chamberlain, Xie Yi came to a palace room, where His Royal Highness the King of Jin is said to be studying, and there are Confucian scholars explaining the scriptures, and the man of Huaiyang County is invited to wait for the time being.
Li Shimin attaches great importance to the education of the princes, most of the princes have been taught by Confucianism since childhood, and most of them have good knowledge, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, is one of the best.
Nine-year-old Li Zhi is naturally no exception, even if he is out on patrol, he has to study and study. Especially after being ill for many days, I delayed a lot of homework.
Poor doll! However, compared with the primary school students who had a heavy homework burden in later generations, Li Zhi was already very happy.
Before Li Zhi could wait, Xie Yi found another petite figure - Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang. As for the name of the son, only the royal lord is qualified to shout.
The little princess stood under the cloister in front of the hall, looking listless, and her unenlightened eyes looked around, as if she was not interested in anything, and was very silent.
Discovering Princess Jinyang's strange expression for the second time, Xie Yi couldn't help but feel a little strange, this princess with a noble sky, golden branches and jade leaves, was the most honored, how could she be depressed?
No one should dare to risk killing her head and make her unhappy, right? Why is that? Filled with curiosity, Xie Yi decided to explore.
"The minister has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Jinyang turned around, recognized Xie Yi at a glance, and said in surprise: "You are the one who doesn't have a long beard, so that Brother Jiu's forehead is not hot and hot." ”
Belch......
Her Royal Highness the Princess's expression is really four years old, but there is a rare little excitement in the words, and it seems that she has a good impression of herself.
Xie Yi asked softly; "Why is Her Royal Highness the princess sitting here and unhappy?"
"Brother Jiu is studying, and no one plays with his son."
Belch...... This answer made Xie Yi not know what to say, the brother and sister really had a deep relationship. It's just that... There are a lot of palace maids here, can't they play with the princess? If Li Er's majesty knows about this, he can't blame him for taking good care of him?
The palace maid who was waiting on the side seemed to see Xie Yi's doubts, and leaned over and said, "Xie... The divine doctor didn't know, and whenever His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Jin were not there, Her Royal Highness the princess was mostly unhappy. ”
Xie Yi's name as a miracle doctor has spread in Luoyang Palace, and the chamberlains and palace maids are very respectful when they see it, and they see that Princess Jinyang is willing to talk to her, so they tell him bluntly.
"Why? Isn't there anyone else playing with the princess? There should be many princes and princesses of the same age in Chang'an Palace. Xie Yi was a little puzzled by this.
"The palace ladies and princesses love Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang very much, care for her, treat her very well, and often play with the princess. But it's strange that the princess is always not happy when she is with His Royal Highness King Jin. ”
The palace maid explained: "Your Majesty was also furious because of this, and scolded everyone in the palace, and after that, everyone treated the princess more respectfully and kindly, but the princess didn't like it. Over time, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not like to play with others, and only when Her Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Jin were present, she seemed happier. ”
"I see!" Xie Yi vaguely seemed to understand something, and asked softly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, can you tell the minister, why don't you like to play with others......
"They're not fun...... Brother Jiu is the best for his son. Princess Jinyang's seemingly incompatible, seemingly incompatible, seemed to show the problem.
At this time, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, came out of the palace after class, and the lost princess of Jinyang suddenly came back to life with full blood on the spot, and rushed into Li Zhi's arms.
The palace maids on the side had long been accustomed to it, and the Confucian scholars who had retired from teaching had to praise twice, while Xie Yi noticed something abnormal.
"Brother Jiu, he is the one who doesn't have a long beard, so your forehead is no longer hot and hot." Princess Jinyang's small face was as smiling as a flower, and she enthusiastically introduced Xie Yi to Li Zhi in her unique expression.
"Minister Xie Yi has seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin." The two had met before, but Li Zhi was still ill at the time, so there was no communication.
Li Zhizheng said politely: "You don't have to be polite to thank the divine doctor, it should be the king who thanks you." ”
"Your Highness is serious, it is the duty of a doctor to save people and cure diseases. Besides, the name of the divine doctor should not be called anymore, and the minister cannot afford it. Xie Yi hurriedly excused himself modestly.
"You're better than those imperial doctors."
"Your Highness has praised it."
"Okay, thank you, you go back, this king wants to take his son and sister to play."
Li Zhi suddenly changed his words, turned into a pit god, and issued an eviction order, which surprised Xie Yi. Isn't it, the first time I communicated with the future Tang Gaozong, it was such a failure?
If you can't figure out Li Zhi, how can you talk about the future? And how to stand invincible? Xie Yi couldn't help but feel a strong sense of frustration in his heart.
……
Over there, Li Zhi just took his sister's little hand, and before he took a few steps, he was dissuaded by the attendant who followed.
"Your Highness, you are just recovering from your body, and you need to rest more and not move around too much...... Be especially careful not to let the cold wind blow hot sweat. ”
The palace maids are also helpless, Li Zhi was in danger of illness before, and they had to be accused of not taking good care of them. If it weren't for Xie Yi to save Li Zhi, I'm afraid they would have been buried with King Jin, but how could they be careless now?
Just doing it can make a difference? It's better to be blocked, and in the long run, Li Zhi is afraid that he will be like Princess Jinyang, and he will be very disappointed.
"It's... This king is already fine, it will be fine, the son is bored alone, I have to play with her, it doesn't matter. Li Zhi hesitated slightly, turned around and pointed, "I don't believe you asked him." ”
The eyes of the chamberlains and palace maids fell on Xie Yi, their eyes were sincere, as if they were asking for advice. The words of the wonderful rejuvenated doctor Xie Shen are very credible.
"Your Highness can play, but it's ......"
"But what?"
Xie Yi said: "For the sake of His Highness's health, not only to play, but also to play more; Exercise regularly to keep your body fit. The minister has previously bowed to His Majesty, and may be able to help His Highness. ”
The words "play more" made Li Zhi very excited, but the ...... later
Li Zhi retorted and said, "Strengthen your physique, right?" Some people also said this when they were in Chang'an, but if the king wanted to ride a horse, everyone stopped him. ”
Xie Yi said: "Horseback riding is a hard job, the minister has just experienced it, does His Highness want to try it?" ”
"I heard that you rode hundreds of miles to save this king, and this king is very grateful." Li Zhi said: "Although it is hard to ride a horse, this king wants to try, like those generals who fought for the imperial court, riding horses and whips, and conquering the territory." ”
Li Zhi's expression was very devoted, and it was completely true feelings, Xie Yi couldn't help but be surprised, the history books recorded that Li Zhi was cowardly. But now it seems that His Royal Highness King Jin has a lot of ambition and courage!
"Your Highness's courage is commendable, and the minister wants to ask Your Highness, do you want to be a real knight who rides a horse and whips, or just sit on a horse and have fun?"
Li Zhi swore and said: "My father once held me and galloped on a horse, and I like it very much...... But I want to be like my father, personally riding a horse and whip, galloping across the country. ”
Xie Yi said bluntly: "It takes a lot of effort to ride a horse, and you need to clamp the horse's belly, sit firmly on the horse's back, and control the reins...... With His Royal Highness's current physique, I'm afraid I won't be able to do well. ”
"Again......
"But ......"
Li Zhi was just disappointed, and when he heard Xie Yi's words, he immediately said excitedly: "But what? ”
"The minister said that he can help His Highness strengthen his body, let His Highness strengthen his body in play, and gallop on a prancing horse as soon as possible."
"How long will it take?"
Xie Yi said leisurely: "It's hard to say, first, it depends on whether His Highness believes in the minister; Second, it depends on whether His Highness has the perseverance to persevere. ”
"Not lying?"
"Your Royal Highness is the prince, and your subordinates deceive the prince, isn't it the crime of bullying the king, the ministers don't dare."
Xie Yi smiled: "And...... If Your Highness is interested, you can go to the stable today, and if you want to be a good rider, you must first understand the horse and observe how others ride it. ”
Li Zhi suddenly became interested, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, go to the stable and have a look, but ...... This king has to play with his son-in-law's sister. ”
"Brother Jiu, my son is also going to the stable, to see the horses grazing, to watch the horses run ......" I didn't want Princess Jinyang to applaud immediately, and my brother's temperament was undoubtedly revealed.
Li Zhi immediately said: "Okay, then let's go to the stable and take a look, thank the doctor...... Come with you! ”
"Obey orders!"
The attendants were quite hesitant, but the king of Jin spoke, and Doctor Xie followed, so there was nothing wrong with it.
……
Wang Yongan was a member of the Forbidden Army, a Janissary Army that selected young and strong men from large households during the Zhenguan period.
This time, the Son of Heaven toured the east, and he and Pao Ze accompanied him. The day before yesterday, he galloped out with the Marquis of Chen Guo to greet Doctor Xie who treated His Royal Highness the King of Jin.
Running hundreds of miles all the way, although he was tired, as the elite of the forbidden army, he only needed to rest a little, and he didn't take it seriously.
Wang Yongan cared more about the horse, the war horse that followed him from Chang'an to Luoyang and then to a post station in Chenzhou. Because it was a forbidden army mount, the post station sent all the horses back.
It's just that......
At this moment, he was standing in the stable, raising the legs of his beloved mount, looking at the worn hooves of the horse, and sighing.
At this moment, a young child's voice sounded beside him: "Brother Jiu, look, the soles of the horse's feet are injured......"
