The imperial physician Niu Tianqi closed his eyes and sat in the train staggering, and the two little attendants beside him were a little sluggish because of the fainting train. Speaking of the disease of faint trains, it is now very common, there are always a few iron frame notches leading to the sewer on the rutted track platform in Chang'an City, and after each train stops, someone will run quickly to vomit.

Niu Tianqi was wondering if he could develop a medicine that could specifically treat coma, and if it could be sold cheaply in large quantities, it would be a good profit.

It's no wonder that this imperial doctor is thinking about Ah Duwu, after seeing the rise of wealth legends in Datang in the past ten years, from Chang'an to Luoyang to Guangling, Suzhou and even Chengdu, where Datang's economy is slightly more prosperous, people's minds are turning around with the idea of "how to get rich".

After pondering for a long time, Niu Tianqi felt that the rutted rail train stopped, he opened his eyes, the two waiters couldn't wait to run out and vomit, Niu Tianqi was not in a hurry to go down, he was experienced, at this time, it must be a group of people who squeezed down, although Huaxia is a state of etiquette, but after sitting in the car for so long, people have three impatience.

Moreover, Niu Tianqi had to gather his thoughts back and think about the task of his trip

On the order of the Son of Heaven, he came to diagnose Ye Chang.

This is the mission on the surface, but in fact, it is to see if Ye Chang is a real illness or a fake illness. There is no need to talk about the real illness, if the fake illness is fake, it will prove that Ye Chang is resentful, and the imperial court may have to take some actions against him to "protect the heroes".

A few people in blue-gray train uniforms came up with brooms, saw that he was still sitting in his position, and saluted him: "Lang Jun, we have to start cleaning, it will be very dirty, and please let Lang Jun let go." If Lang Jun still wants to sit and rest, but go to the room over there, we have already cleaned Yujing. ”

Niu Tianqi smiled, these conductors are very polite, it is said that each of them needs to go through a month of training, and they have to be probationary for three months before they can officially become a member of the rutted train.

He didn't want to stay in the car any longer, so he straightened his clothes and got out of the car. The two attendants washed up a little at the well next to the station, and seemed to be in good spirits, and followed him with his luggage.

"Which one is the cow doctor and which one is the cow doctor?"

When he left the station, Niu Tianqi heard someone shouting, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this was to pick him up

"Foolishness is Niu Tianqi, who is Your Excellency?"

"A certain surname Liu, named Changqing, was ordered by Ye Gong to come to pick up Doctor Niu." Liu Changqing stepped forward and gave a salute: "Please come with me." ”

"Liu Gong is extraordinary, I don't know any important positions around Ye Gong?"

Following Liu Changqing, Niu Tianqi vaguely felt that the name "Liu Changqing" was somewhat familiar, and it was no wonder that Liu Changqing was quite famous for poetry, but he was not a first-rate poet, so Niu Qitian may have heard his name somewhere, but he was not very impressed. However, Niu Qitian didn't dare to underestimate this person, and the one who could greet him on behalf of Ye Chang must be Ye Chang's henchmen.

"Being an assistant official by Ye Gong's side, a counselor's official document, is not an important position." Liu Changqing said with a smile: "It's just that now there are all kinds of wastes waiting to be revived, and Ye Gong himself is sick, so he can only send me to welcome the cow doctor." ”

"It turned out to be Master Liu." Niu Tianqi didn't understand Liu Changqing's specific position, but since the other party is in charge of official documents, a "master book" will never be lowered, maybe "long history" should be used?

Thinking wildly in his heart, neither of them spoke for a while. After getting out of the station and getting into the carriage prepared by Liu Changqing, they ran on the streets of Luoyang City. Although it was winter, Niu Tianqi still lifted the curtain and looked at the situation in Luoyang outside the window.

Unlike the oppression felt in Chang'an, Luoyang is still immersed in the drunkenness and joy that followed the victory. The streets are bustling with all kinds of signboards, and the hawkers along the street even leave the market and go up to the main street. A cart of goods was pulled into the city, and another car of goods was transported outside the city, seeing this scene, Niu Tianqi was stunned for a moment: "Has the rutted track to Dongmu been repaired?" ”

"The thieves have been completely destroyed, and they are preaching everywhere that life has been difficult these years, just because the ruts have damaged the dragon veins and earth qi of Henan Province." Liu Changqing pursed his lips: "During the restoration, many local clan elders came to theorize, just to get another sum of money." The money for land acquisition is now felt to be less. If this matter is not resolved, how can the rut be repaired? ”

"So much cargo?"

"There is no way, if the rutted rail transportation is not successful, you can only use horse-drawn carts and ox-carts to transport it out, even if the freight rate is higher, it is better than rotting in your hands."

"This is not an option, in my opinion, it is better to fix the rut as soon as possible." Niu Tianqi muttered

Because the traffic between Luoyang and Chang'an is more important, and the thieves in this section are not seriously damaged, the repair has been completed, and he can take the train from Chang'an to Luoyang. But Niu Tianqi also understood that if the rutted track leading to Dongmu could not be repaired earlier, when Luokou and other large warehouses finished eating the rice, the imperial court was only afraid that it would face the danger of running out of food.

"Naturally," Liu Changqing sighed: "It's just that now Ye Gong is sick, it is difficult to deal with affairs, and this matter is very important, maybe there will be civil unrest again, and Ye Gong does not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he can only wait for the imperial court to adjudicate."

Niu Tianqi nodded, but he was a little disapproving.

In order to repair the rut track, Ye Chang used a lot of means, and Ye Chang has always had a good reputation because of things such as forceps, but some people say that he is a smiling tiger who eats people and does not spit out bones. Many of the people who obstructed the construction of the road at the beginning were bad in his hands, and although they did not lose their lives, they had to go around the frontier.

Therefore, Ye Chang used the excuse of wanting a holy judge at this time, and it was more likely that he wanted to bargain with the imperial court.

The task of my own trip is really not a good task.

The two were silent again, and Niu Tianqi continued to look out, but it didn't take long for Liu Changqing to say "It's here"

"Not in the Grand View Garden?" Niu Tianqi has been to Luoyang, and he has also been to the famous place of Daguanyuan, and knows that this is Ye Chang's base camp in Luoyang. But the place in front of you is only a small square in the southwest of Luoyang, which is really far from the bustle of the Grand View Garden.

"It's too noisy over there in Daguanyuan, these days, there are people feasting there every day, Ye Gong wants to recuperate, how can he stay over there." Liu Changqing stretched out his hand to help: "Doctor Niu, be careful, the road is frozen." ”

Compared with the Grand View Garden, this courtyard is indeed much simpler, and there is no movement from the outside, but after entering, you will see that it is heavily guarded, and the guards who come and go are solemn, and they seem to be very nervous.

Niu Tian trembled in unison: "Ye Gong's illness? ”

"Ye Gong's illness is quite stable, but he can't see the wind, and he can't deal with government affairs for a long time, and the imperial doctor in Luoyang said that he should recuperate." Liu Changqing said lightly: "Ye Gong's credit is too great, this time the thief has broken the hope of some people, so I have to be more vigilant." ”

Niu Tianqi felt that there was something in his mouth, his cheeks twitched, and he squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "No." ”

"I heard that An Lushan broke a whole set of glassware?" Liu Changqing said meaningfully.

Niu Tianqi had also heard of this matter, but he knew better: An Lushan heard that Ye Changxue captured Cai at night, and went deep into hundreds of thousands of enemy troops with only 3,000 people, and captured all the thieves with lightning speed, the first thing he did was not to believe it, and the second thing was to order to strengthen the guard.

Probably because he was afraid that he would also be raided by people at night, after all, Ye Chang was called sick and paralyzed the thief, and now the thief is close to calming, but Ye Chang is still "sick".

However, the matter of breaking the glass was made up by the folk good deeds. The people of Chang'an City don't look down on the domineering An Lushan and his Hu soldiers, and they still read Ye Chang a lot, they are politically sensitive in the capital, and they know that An Lushan was brought back by Yang Guozhong to balance and restrain Ye Chang, so they made up a lot of jokes to ridicule An Lushan.

Some people even said that An Huer was adopted as an adopted son by the concubine Niangniang, and the concubine Niangniang "washed the week" for him, stripped him naked and threw him into a bucket. As for An Lushan's poem praising the enlargement of the concubine's breasts as "the newly peeled chicken head is as tender as crisp", there are also those who quietly whisper. In a word, Anhuer seems to have an affair with the noble concubine.

Suppressing his thoughts, Niu Tianqi Qiang smiled: "This, the official is lowly and the official is small, and I have never heard of this." ”

During the conversation, they finally entered the door of the main hall, and when they came in, they saw two samurai standing by their swords, and behind the main hall, there was a painting hanging, Niu Tianqi's heart moved, this kind of knick-knackin decoration can often reflect a person's ambition and true thoughts. He took a closer look, but found that this character was just a big character "Dao", and the signature was written by Yan Zhenqing.

At this time, Zhang Xu has passed away, Yan Zhenqing is the master of calligraphy in the world, his Taoist character, strong and heavy, such as mountains and rocks, makes people feel that the mountains are up, and they can't help but look up.

"Dao ......" Niu Tianqi felt a little strange in his heart, how could Ye Chang hang such a picture in the middle hall.

It's not that the word is bad, but the word "Tao" doesn't seem to fit here.

Could it be that Ye Chang's encounter with immortals is true, so he attaches great importance to the Taoist "Tao", so he hangs here, and never forgets to remind himself that this is really something worth pursuing?

Or does Ye Chang want to seize the Confucian "Taoism" and obtain some kind of righteous name?

Niu Tianqi had done his homework before coming here, and knew that in the past two years, Ye Chang had mobilized some famous Confucians to discuss one thing, that is, the "Taoism" of China.

The "Taoism" of Huaxia, in Ye Chang's explanation, began with the Three Emperors, the Suiren clan began to build its foundation, drilling wood to make fire, igniting the fire of Taoism, Fuxi's knotting rope chronicle, inheriting the fire of Taoism, Shennong's reclamation and farming, and strengthening the fire of Taoism.

"The three emperors of Taigu, at the beginning of the Chinese Taoist system, were all innovative for the people, not limited to the ancient, adapting to the times, the law of heaven and earth and nature, and benefiting the people."

Niu Tianqi remembered this sentence, but some people in private said that Ye Chang said it well, but in fact, he was defending himself for reforming all kinds of crafts and specializing in all kinds of new techniques. There are always people who say that he made some strange and obscene things, similar to the ministers of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Ye Chang defended himself with this: even the ancient sages are studying, using and promoting new skills, as a younger generation of later generations, how can they not carry forward this spirit?

However, Ye Chang only discussed the beginning of the Dao system, and did not elaborate on the inheritance of the Dao system after that. This led to discussions among those Confucian scholars who agreed with Ye Chang's theory of Taoism, some of whom believed that the Yellow Emperor, Yao, Shun, Yu, Shang Tang, King Wen, Zhou Gong, Confucius, and Dong Zhongshu had passed down the Taoism all the way, and some believed that the Taoism was scattered among the people and had no lineage to speak of.

It's just that some controversies are still only among those Confucian scholars, and they have not caused much reaction.

This was just Niu Tianqi's thoughts for a moment, and then he heard someone say: "Is it Imperial Doctor Niu here?" ”

This voice was a little hoarse, but it was still very familiar, Niu Tianqi raised his eyes and saw Ye Chang coming out of the inner room.

"Ah, why did Ye Gong come out?" Niu Tianqi hurriedly stepped forward: "Ye Gong is in poor health, so it is time to recuperate." ”

"It's not too much of a problem, it's just that they are so nervous that I have to stay here." Ye Changsha said in a suff voice: "Doctor Niu has worked hard from afar, do you want to rest first?" ”

"The saint ordered me to come to Ye Gong's diagnosis, this is a serious matter, don't dare to delay."

"Okay, it's up to you." Ye Chang didn't seem to know that the imperial doctor sent from Chang'an represented Li Longji's distrust of Ye Chang himself, he happily agreed to Niu Qitian, and then sat down and stretched out his hand to let Niu Qitian take the pulse.

Niu Qitian took his pulse for a while, inspected his eyelids and tongue coating, asked a few words about his illness, and after a while, he stroked his beard and said: "Ye Gong is fine, but the wind is cold, which depends on Ye Gong's good health...... However, Ye Gong has been working too hard lately, and he is a little vain. ”

Ye Chang smiled bitterly: "The thief was powerful at the beginning, I can win it, it's really a fluke, can I not rise in vain."

Niu Qitian said with a smile: "Ye Gong is worried about the country, and he is the minister of the pillars of the imperial court......"

While saying compliments, Niu Qitian looked at Ye Chang again. As a physician, he is no stranger to Ye Chang, Ye Chang has asked them for help in innovating the medical care system in the army, and these doctors are also very interested in some of the medical principles proposed by Ye Chang, so they bother him a lot. However, compared with back then, Ye Chang's status is very high now, and he is not angry and arrogant when he sits there, which makes people awe-inspiring.

Thinking of this, Niu Qitian glanced at Ye Chang.

Ye Chang was slightly stunned, and then realized: "What do you think is the change in my condition?" ”

"This ......"

"You guys retreat first," Ye Chang gestured left and right.

Imperial Physician Niu also drove the two attendants away, and then got up and saluted Ye Chang: "On the orders of Princess Shou'an, greet Ye Gong." ”

Ye Chang was stunned at first, and then smiled.

This Doctor Niu turned out to be from Shou'an...... It seems that Shou'an has not been idle during these times.

Li Longji sent Doctor Niu to come, but I am afraid that he still doesn't know that he is from Shou'an.

"What does Her Royal Highness the Princess have to say?" Ye Chang asked slowly.

"You stupid person with no conscience, don't be too conscientious, don't go back to Chang'an, go to your Liaodong and be at ease" Niu Tianqi said expressionlessly, and after finishing speaking, he laughed again: "This is what Her Royal Highness the princess must say when she explains her humble duties." But after finishing speaking, Ye Gong, he couldn't remember anything. ”
