Ji Yun came out on order and rode back to the governor's yamen. Thinking that if he saw Liu Tongxun first, once Ye Tianshi was a good doctor, he would immediately pass it on, so it was better to pass on Ye Tianshi to wait in the signing room, and then ask Liu Tongxun if it was more convenient, so he took a detour to sign the room first. The whole class of Yin Jishanjin has moved away, and many important ministers of the court live in this courtyard, and Fan Shijie, the governor of Jiangnan who temporarily serves as the governor, has many daily official duties on his shoulders, and it is inconvenient to do errands here, so he has not moved over, because it is very deserted, only a master surnamed Niu is in charge of the case files and official documents handed over to the governor's yamen from all over the country, and forwards them to Fan Shijie. Master Niu sat alone and smoked, and when he saw Ji Yun coming in, he hurriedly got up and smiled and greeted him, and when he asked about Ye Tianshi, he said with a smile: "That's a headless fly, after eating enough and smoking enough hibiscus ointment (i.e., opium), he went to hang out with friends, and said, 'I was specially invited to Nanjing, and a man called me to Pilu Hospital, and it turned out that the patient was himself!'" Lord Liu's illness has been fine for ten years, and the nobles often have to work hard, so it's not worth my attention. There are no patients, and I am suffocated! Ji Yun thought of Ye Tianshi's sloppy appearance, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Where is he?" ”

"In the East Courtyard of the Governor's Patrol Division!" Master Niu said: "The patrol department killed the chief daughter-in-law, and set up a table in the lower room of the east courtyard to treat guests to the funeral. Ye Tianshi was familiar with the stables, the toilets, and the water porters in this courtyard. I'm going to join in the fun, please sit down, and I'll call him. Ji Yun said: "I sat in front of the emperor for a long time, and I also wanted to evacuate and evacuate - you just have to be busy with you." Master Niu was still diligent to lead the way, Ji Yun said: "I have heard the suona sounding from afar, you can get there by following the sound, as soon as you go here and close the door, it's not good." ”

Saying that, Ji Yun came out of the patio, and the sheng grumble came faintly from several courtyards. Follow the sound to the east, across a large courtyard of the patrol hall, and then to the east is the sedan garage, the stable vegetable cellar, and the slaughterhouse for the meat of the yamen's house, since Qianlong stationed in the yamen, have been driven out. There are several empty courtyards, broken cars, cars, and miscellaneous items everywhere, Ji Yun walked through the quadruple courtyard and stepped through a corner door, and the sound of suona suddenly became loud and deafening. When I watched it, it was two drums, each sitting at a table of eight immortals, the wine plates and cups on the table were messy, and there were four drummers wearing filial piety hats, all of whom were so red that their faces were red and their neck tendons rose and fell. There are four tents in front of the low houses where the officials live in the area, the robes and horse coats are short, the officials are dressed in color and number, and the variegated ninth-class characters are drunk and drunk.

Ji Yun opened his eyes and searched for Ye Tianshi from table to table, but he couldn't find it. The mourner was standing in the yali, and when he came in, he thought it was a friend mourning at first, but when he looked closely at Ji Yun, he was startled, and hurriedly left the table and trotted forward to kneel and knock to say goodbye, and said: "Little Liu Fugui, the dog woman is newly mourned, and here is mourning, alarming the lord is guilty." "What is the sin of birth, old age, sickness and death?" Ji Yuncha drove to this place from the Son of Heaven in Huayuan Temple, and he also felt that his eyes were confused, and he had disturbed the scene of others for no reason, so he smiled apologetically, "I heard the music here and mourned, I came here on foot—is Ye Tianshi there?" Are you related to him? ”

"Xiao and Dr. Ye are both from Yangzhou, and they recognize their relatives." Liu Fugui said, "The dog has been suffering from postpartum disorder for a few years, and I was fortunate to recognize Dr. Ye, who came from Yangzhou to treat the disease, who knew that she was not blessed, and went to the ...... halfway" said and wiped his tears, "The family is not rich, and it will cost dozens of taels to send the coffin back, so I will send it here, but I pity my little grandson...... Dr. Ye also helped a few taels of silver, and his old man was also sad and was crying in front of the coffin! ”

Ji Yunshun looked at the mourning shed, surrounded by paper flowers and white flags, and provided Zhang Shui and Lu Feng with delicious melons and fruits in front of the ever-bright lamp. The young woman was only twenty years old, but Ye Tianshi uncovered her face and cried bitterly. Several of the guardians looked like the eldest relatives of the deceased and their mother's family, seeing Ye Tianshi like a mourner, they cried and hugged their heads to look at a young dead woman, all of them were disgusted and embarrassed, but Ye Tianshi was a royal edict, so they had to swallow their anger. Ji Yun also felt in his heart that this surname Ye was not like words, even if he cried his wife, it was not appropriate to be so kind, seeing Liu Fugui coming over with a spirit card, he expected to ask himself to order the god, and he touched only two taels of silver in his arms, and handed them over, so he lifted the red pen.

"Master Ji is a little slow!" Ye Tianshi suddenly stopped crying, patted the dust on his knees, and said to Liu Fugui: "Your daughter-in-law is faint, she has only lost her breath, and she is not really dead." Hurry, there is no awl with the sole of the shoe, take it! Sewing needles will do the same! Hurry up, what the hell are you stunned about? ”

Liu Fugui was still stunned, even the drummer stopped playing, and more than a hundred pairs of eyes looked at the doctor in a daze, like a living ghost emerging from the ground. Only then did Ji Yun know that Ye Tianshi was using crying as a pretext to check his pulse there, remembering the story of Prince Bian Queyu, and hurriedly said: "Quickly follow the doctor's instructions, don't hesitate!" Ye Tianshi was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and said, "Hurry up, bring more, the more the better!" ”

"Ah...... Yes! ”

Liu Fugui nodded in agreement as if he was confused, turned his face and ran into the house, only to hear the thud and bang, and I don't know how to toss, but he came out with a finger-slapping iron skewer used by the female prisoner, and said: "There are no fucking needles and awls, and this play is also sharp, can it be done?" ”

"If it's done, it will be used!" Ye Tianshi snatched it with his hand, grabbed more than a dozen in his hand, and burned it with the flame of the ever-bright lamp, until his hands were so hot that he grinned his teeth, and then put it on the paper that covered the sky on the table. Then pierced the three miles, rulers, guan, inches and other acupoints, and told everyone to avoid, "sneering" to tear open the woman's clothes, and the shoulders and arms under the double breast peak were pierced, and some even Ji Yun couldn't recognize any acupoints, and the technique was as fast as a master's fencing, which was dizzying. Ye Tianshi didn't say a word, picked up the pen and scratched on the yellow mounted paper, and said, "Grab the medicine, wait for the decoction here!" ”

Liu Fugui saw that his daughter-in-law was motionless and naked on the bed, she was really unsightly, and she was suspicious, and when she saw her son stunned, she scolded: "Don't take a piece of clothing and cover it for her!" Then he gave the prescription to a servant and said, "Good brother, help my brother run." I'm going to have soft legs. Ji Yun kept staring at the young woman, only to see that the color seemed to be less sallow, and her lips were rouge, but she couldn't see anything unusual. Ye Tianshi drank tea and took a few steps, looked at the woman again, threw the teacup away, poured a glass of soju, approached the spiritual bed, but still did not put a needle in the person, lifted his ears one by one with both hands and dragged it, shook his head, opened his chin and poured the glass of wine into it, and then slapped him twice, scolding: "Damn, I don't believe you are really dead!" ”

When everyone watched, some saw him trampling on the dead, and their hearts were angry, some were surprised, and some covered their mouths and gourds, and they wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Ji Yun suddenly lost his voice and shouted, "Wake up!" Liu Fugui was startled, and when he stared at it, sure enough, the young woman sighed, like sighing and seeking, her starry eyes opened slightly, her lips moved, and she said like a gossamer...... Where is this? ……”

There was a dead silence at the feast, and someone shouted: "Heavenly Doctor Star, save the king of life and live Bodhisattva!" Then the group exploded, and all the people surrounded Ye Tianshi......

…… Ji Yun took Ye Tianshi to the signing room, and while asking Master Niu to find new clothes for Ye Tianshi to change, he informed the palace that Ye Tianshi was summoned and immediately went in to show the queen's pulse. He also taught him to kneel three times and bow nine times, and to make the system, which Yin Jishan has taught me many times, but Ye Tianshi still did a bad job, and he couldn't teach it after all. Ji Yun had no choice but to say: "Kneel more, kowtow more and say yes...... Speak – this and this...... is like a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, in short, it is better to be gentle - like you just treated Liu Fugui's daughter-in-law, so that the queen, even if she is cured, it is not as good as you...... As for the use of acupuncture, syndrome differentiation and treatment, and how to use medicine, there is no need to be taboo - I have learned your medical Tao, and the monarch and the minister are as big as the sky, and I am most afraid that you will lose your honor. ”

"To treat the sick and save people, we must follow the medical Tao, regardless of whether you are high or low. That's why the name of my pharmacy is 'Tong Ren Tang'. Ye Tianshi pursed his lips and said, "Like the Liu family, the corpse has been convulsed for three days, and it is not called curing diseases, it is called playing people...... Ji Zhongtang rest assured, I am observant of etiquette, and the right is to treat my mother. "He was addicted to opium, so he was busy looking for cigarette guns and burning cigarette bubbles. Ji Yun looked at this living treasure with real talent and learning, and he was funny, but he was really worried that he would lose his manners, and he told him thousands of instructions on the side, knowing that saying something about empty etiquette was equivalent to playing the piano to the cow, and only said: "You think like this, you are close to the heart, I am talking about politeness, you should be the same as the inside and the outside, when you look and hear and ask her, when she is sick, you should speak and act like a pilgrim who worships God in the temple, right?" ”

It can be said that Ye Tianshi "understands", he is too addicted to smoking, and Bu Yi has also arrived, carrying a sedan chair and leaving. Ji Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed to the north study to see Liu Tongxun. I wanted to say a few words and rush to the palace to take care of it in person, but as soon as I entered the door, I was shocked, Gao Heng and Qian Du were talking to Liu Tongxun! Gao Heng wrapped the iron rope around his neck, Qian Du wooden flail on his shoulder, wrapped in yellow silk, but did not kneel, and sat side by side on the wooden pestle. Liu Tongxun is not a trial pattern, sitting on the east wall opposite, Liu Yong is standing sideways, and Huang Tianba is standing a little farther away, neither humble nor arrogant. Gao Heng Qiandu looks good, his clothes are neat, and he doesn't look embarrassed, but he hasn't shaved his head for more than a month, and his hair grows inches in front of his braids. They all looked a little panicked, like two beasts that were cautious of falling into a trap. Seeing Ji Yun come in, the two of them thought it was a decree to deal with it, and suddenly they were so shocked that one of them trembled, and their faces became extremely pale, and they didn't speak. Seeing Liu Tongxun get up and give up his seat, Ji Yun was not unusual, and his face was still in his original color.

"I just met the emperor, and the emperor asked me to come and see your body and bones!" Ji Yun said to Liu Tongxun: "Ye Tianshi's medicinal use is okay?" Liu Tongxun hurriedly said: "Ye Tianshi said that I am relieving my illness, so it doesn't matter if I am not impatient or tired." His medicinal use seemed to be refreshed, less depressed, and no miracles were seen. ”

Ji Yun nodded while listening, looking at the two of them, and was overwhelmed with emotion in his heart. This is a familiar friend, usually when they meet, they hold hands and pat their shoulders and joke, talk about everything, and in a blink of an eye, they have become prisoners of the iron ropes, and their identities are like clouds and mud. I don't even know where to start with a word of comfort.

"Calling you here, that's what I said just now", Liu Tongxun's face was expressionless, "The two confessed to different words, and they were still quibbling." Not only will it not help, but it is likely to trigger the wrath of the Holy Thunder. You are wrong to say that I, Liu Tongxun, do not talk about personal relationships. In the thirteenth year of Qianlong, I found out that you Gao Hengshan Customs embezzled 3,200 taels of smuggled salt, and you cursed the heavens and swore not to commit it again, and returned the stolen goods, and did not impeach you; You Qian Du borrowed 30,000 catties of copper from Li Shiyao, sold it privately to the coppersmith, and took 7,000 taels of silver from the interest difference. In this regard, it is no longer a purely personal relationship, it is my fault on behalf of my friends, and you yourself do not repent, so you simply do not recklessly! He tapped his fingers on the coffee table: "The family property paid by the two people is less than 40,000 yuan, which is far from the actual evidence we have found, not to mention that there are many things that have no accounts to check!" ”

Gao Heng and Qian Du moved uneasily. The iron rope flail made a slight noise. Gao Heng said: "The burning of the silver account is to ask for permission, and I and Li Shiyao, Zhuang Yougong, Lu Zhuo, Le Min, Eshan, You Mingtang of the Ministry of Rites, and the dead relatives exchanged accounts and wrote them out and submitted them. Even if you confess, ask the boss to summon him to confront him on the spot, and you will understand. Qian Du said: "I am an official businessman, I am indeed guilty, I borrowed copper from Li Shuyao twice, in addition to building a Buddha statue, I made the difference, Li Shiyao did not know." The Beijing officials are miserable, and many things cannot be entertained. This is also helpless, as helpless as possible, but also guilty, do not ask for the blessing of the middle hall, but ask the middle hall to play on behalf of the death, if you can apologize to the emperor in person before you die, death is also blind! ”

Ji Yun knew as soon as he heard that the two confessed with different thoughts. Gao Heng wanted to stir things up as big as possible, and none of the courtiers who were trusted by Qianlong were good people, making it a situation of "the law does not govern the people". Qian Du took the blame on his own, tried to minimize the crime, protected those who had money exchanges, and pointed to them in front of Qianlong to exonerate himself. Ji Yun scolded Gao Heng for being "stupid" in his heart, but he also felt sorry for Qian Du, and took out a cigarette pot from his boots to smoke a cigarette, trying to calm his mind. Liu Yong said on the side: "Gao Heng listed the accounts with the lords of the court and the central government, three times before and after, the number, the hour, and the use of the money, which cannot be justified. Liu Tongxun said: "I won't tell them this today - I just want to tell you that the power of heaven is unpredictable, the grace of heaven is unbearable, and the heaven is immeasurable." Honestly return all the stolen money to the state treasury, convict according to the case, and give lenient sentencing. I can still speak from it—the hour is running out for you. Handed over to the Criminal Department, under the five punishments of Miki, I'm afraid you can't afford it. ”

"Yes." Qian Du replied with difficulty. Gao Heng said: "It's the five punishments of Sanmu, I am not clear and innocent, and I will not accept it even if I die-Gao Heng also asked to see the emperor and ask Lord Zhongtang to play on his behalf." Liu Tongxun said: "It has been performed a long time ago, and the emperor said that there are thousands of arguments about being imprisoned every year, and he can't be summoned to summon him." However, the two of you are especially gracious, and the confession is directly presented to the royal review with the case file. Lord Xiaolan is also here, and he knows it. ”

The two looked at Ji Yun, Ji Yun only nodded, sighed and said: "Since ancient times, in addition to the incompatibility between loyalty and treachery, the injustice caused by political disputes, and the corruption cases of the Lord in the Ming and Qing dynasties, they all collapsed themselves. In fact, you have failed the emperor's benevolence and walked into the fire pit. If you are condemned to heaven and have nothing to pray for, it is more reliable to confess your sins from your own hearts. If you sin and ask the emperor for forgiveness, what kind of master does the emperor see? ”

"Your case is not being tried in Nanjing. Tomorrow, they will be transported back to Beijing by ship and temporarily detained in the Prison Temple. Liu Tongxun said: "I called you over to tell you about it." There are many friends in Beijing, and there will be no shortage of people visiting prisons. Confession and confession are the only way to live. Some people are affectionate and think that they will fall into the well, even if they really want to save you, they will definitely be powerless. There is only a narrow glimmer of life left, and it is up to you to cut it off. After that, he ordered Huang Tianba to take them there, and they were still detained separately! He also said to Liu Yong: "You have written an abridged version of the original text submitted by Yulinwei to Shaanxi to the political envoy to withhold the food relief for the victims, as well as the defense submission of the political envoy Ashan. I want to send it to the emperor. The original text has been taken from me here, and I will take a look at it again. ”

Ji Yun didn't hear what his father and son said, looking at the backs of Gao Heng and Qian Du who were getting farther and farther away, and suddenly remembered the past when he and Qian Du drew lots together in Gaosheng Restaurant and ordered Hulu to drink pheasants and eat wine...... Liu Tongxun shouted twice, and Ji Yun came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm thinking, there is a Hu Zhongzao case and a Zhang Laoxianggong case on my side, and I have to investigate a batch of cases of rebellion. Come to you, the criminal name case, the money and grain case, Fu Heng also had an assassination case. The master's trip to the south this time is full of cases, and he is ten times busier than in Beijing! ”

"I haven't been over to say hello to the emperor for two days. Although it is not necessary to pass every day to serve the special order, but the minister is really worried about it in his heart. Liu Tongxun said, "The emperor is so busy, you follow, you have to persuade not to be too trivial." Liu Tongxun died, as well as Zhang Tongxun and Li Tongxun. He suddenly felt that he had said something wrong, and immediately stopped, "-Let's go through the palace together, okay?" Ji Yun was afraid that Ye Tianshi would lose his manners, and said with a smile: "Take my sedan chair, walk around, sit at the desk all day long, you look in the mirror, people in their fifties look older than Zhang Hengchen!" ”

As soon as the two of them said they were leaving, they saw two eunuchs staggering over from a distance with a gray-haired old man, but it was Zhang Tingyu. "Say Cao Cao Cao arrived", the two of them remembered this sentence almost at the same time, and couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, thinking, as soon as this old man opened his mouth, he was like a river surging, and he didn't know what time he would speak. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the house, Zhang Tingyu opened his mouth as soon as he sat down, but what he said was Hu Zhongzao: "...... The emperor summoned me the next day after he came to Nanjing, and on the third day he personally visited my house, and they all asked about Hu Zhongzao. He also showed me his "Jian Mo Sheng Poems". I replied to the emperor, this is really a villain at both ends of the rat. He was the one I took to lift people, and the Jinshi who was taken by Exilin, and came to me and said that Ortai was full of anger and arrogance. I said that Ortai has nothing to do with it, and if you talk about people in front of me, you will definitely talk about me when you go to people. Then he somehow stopped coming to see me. Such a person who has no behavior and no emotion can write good poetry at all! ”

Then, starting from the beginning, from Yaozhi's "admonishment and slander of wood", to Confucius's punishment of Shaozhengmao, King Wen of the Western Zhou Dynasty punished heresy and established the "law of slander", and all the way to the "light" monarch of the literati of the Southern Dynasty, and the poems and writings of the Sui and Tang dynasties "slandered the monarch and scolded the world...... He is in good spirits, and he is really proficient in his palm, but his conclusion is very peculiar: "The Yuan Dynasty enjoyed the country for a short time, that is, the monarch did not pay attention to the folk heresies, and regarded poetry and music as a small way, so it gradually confused people's hearts, and the chaos of the wind together, the Quartet responded, and it was out of control, and the Mongols did not figure it out until the Yuan Dynasty died, and they could fight the world immediately, but they could not rule the world!" How can the hearts of the people of the world be regarded as idle and trivial! Then, he talked about "the difference between admonition and slander", what is "returning to the beauty of the king's relatives" and "being sincere and upright"...... Liu Tongxun has the case file in hand, and he can also listen "um" while browsing. I only pity Ji Yun, a leader of Wenchen who has read the scriptures and history and repaired the "Siku Quanshu", and listened to Mr. talk about the "Three Character Classic".

…………

Zhang Tingyu told the two military ministers at the governor's yamen that Ye Tianshi had some trouble with the queen's medical treatment. The rule is that the imperial doctor kneels on the wooden pestle outside the couch, only stretches out his hand through the curtain, concentrates and caresses the pulse and thinks about it repeatedly, and then bows and withdraws from the deliberation plan, and hands it over to the emperor to see that he has nothing to say, and he has taken care of the medicine.

He made up his mind to kowtow more and salute more, and the purpose of "talking like a woman" was also very harmonious when he first met Qianlong. When it came to see the pulse, the "true color" immediately couldn't hide it, cut off the right side to help the left side, shook his head for a while and muttered to himself that he didn't know what to say, and then shook his head in a deep voice, put down the queen's arm, and kowtowed to Qianlong when he came over, and the price of pounding garlic was countless. Qianlong is not tired of such people, and said with a smile: "Look, this is still Yuan Chang**, kowtow when you enter the door, kowtow no matter how many kowtows!" Hongtian also smiled and said, "Kowtow is not bad, this must have been taught by Ji Xiaolan." Ye Tianshi was unabashed, and said: "Master Ji still tells the little one to talk like a woman, this one really can't be done - the villain wants to give the emperor, he wants to see the queen's complexion, say a few words, and ask about the illness - I don't know if the emperor is willing to allow it?" ”

Qianlong Hongday was slightly stunned when he heard Ji Yun's "want to be like a woman", and listened to many things like him asking for "grace". Hongyang said: "In addition to being critically ill, the queen mother has always only looked at the pulse to treat the disease. Why are you so extraordinary? The doctors in the Tai Hospital don't have as many words as you. ”

"Just cutting the pulse, I see that Niangniang is already symptomatic in the stomach." Ye Tianshi couldn't even care about kowtowing his head, and said straightly: "The four wonders of the healer are called gods, saints, work, and skill. God who knows what he knows; Hearing and knowing is holy; Ask and know the meaning of work; Knowing the pulse is ingenious. If one of the four wonders is missing, it is not a good doctor. There is no looking, smelling, or asking, he is Hua Tuo, and he is just reckless, using other people's illnesses to test his luck. I once worshipped a famous doctor, who used five silk threads to tie the patient's pulse, cut the pulse, and said that it was "hanging silk to diagnose the pulse". Most of the diseases of the rich and noble, one is that the stomach is weak and the diet is not proper, the man says that he is overeating, and the woman says that she is a blessing diet, and it is certain that the stomach and spleen will be damaged, the heart will be dizzy, and the life will be weakened. The second is that the prostitution is excessive, hurting the kidneys, the kidneys are damaged and the will is damaged, the kidneys are injured, the liver is hot, the spirit is listless, the night can't sleep, the liver stasis is irritable and difficult to control, and the woman says that she is endless...... You can never be wrong. I wanted to test the master's ability, so I hugged a sheep and tied it up, and he was so nonsense! Isn't this a joke with human life? Hope and smell are indispensable, not to mention the lack of three! Maybe the small ones are not proficient, and they can't compare to the skills of the Tai Yi. The emperor has some imperial doctors around him, wouldn't it be more convenient to invite them? ”

In his lofty commentary, the head of what he said before is the Tao, and there is nothing wrong with it. The problem is in the last sentence, setting up a famous doctor in front of the emperor, and it is to rob Bai Qianlong. Qianlong was laughing when he heard his words of "binding sheep", and his face changed suddenly. Hongtian shouted: "Ye Tianshi, do you have a madness?" How can you talk to the emperor like this? Qianlong said: "Those who eat wool and practice the soil, who doesn't know that loyalty and filial piety come first, and you and your parents talk like this?!" ”

"Your Majesty, your lord, there are six incurables for doctors." Ye Tianshi had a bull's temper, and he forgot all about learning women to be pilgrims, and immediately came up, "The doctor is easy, and the medicine is ever-changing." Seven miles and eight tables floating, sloppy, slippery, solid, stringy, tight, flood, slight, sinking, slow, late, guy, wet, weak. Not only does it vary from person to person, but it also varies from time to time. Spring strings, summer gatherings, autumn hairs, and winter stones. It's autumn now, and the queen's vein seems to be 'floating', but it is actually light, and in other seasons, it is a floating vein! There is a reason for curing diseases and fighting wars. He commanded the six armies to fight sick, so he believed in witches and did not believe in medicine, could not take medicine, could not be cured, was not cured for insufficient qi, was not cured for food and clothing, and was incurable for light body and heavy wealth. Arrogance is the first of the six incurables - got it? ”

is still talking about illness, and slightly brings out that he doesn't know anything about personnel, and directly points to Qianlong's "arrogance and unreasonableness", like Lao Tzu training his son to ask, "Understand?" Hongtian saw that Qianlong's face was getting more and more gloomy, and he knew that the thunder was about to break out, so he scratched his ears and cheeks and thought about persuasion. The queen said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, reward him with medical money, tell him to go, my illness doesn't matter, and you don't deserve to be angry!" Qianlong still didn't answer, Ye Tianshi listened to the voice, knelt on his neck and asked, "Niangniang Niang!" Even if it's not called a small 'hope', ask you a few words if it's okay? ”

The queen was silent.

"Afternoon fever, dizziness, but some?"

…………

"Nightmares, nightmares, restlessness all night, but some?"

…………

"Wake up early and have a heartbeat, and your chest is tight and uncomfortable after hours, but there are you?"

“…… Some ......"

"Night sweats at night, wet chest and back, late menstruation after the month, and advance every three months, decay from time to time, but no menstrual cramps, but there are any?"

"Yes...... Even what I said earlier is yes......"

Ye Tianshi lowered his head, his fingers picking at the cracks in the bricks, and muttered something that he didn't know what to say. Qianlong and Hongday looked at this strange person and felt that it was a little difficult to end. Ye Tianshi had returned to his usual demeanor, but he still kept kowtowing and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang!" I was dizzy at the sight of the patient, thinking that I was an emperor......" He suddenly became pitiful, kowtowed, and said, "I really want to be cured—if I don't call it 'hope,' I don't want to hope...... I wrote two prescriptions, the first one was taken for three days, stopped for a day and a half, and even the diet was stopped, and the mother felt that she had a good appetite and wanted to eat, so she used the second prescription, took the medicine for two hours, and slowly ate her diet. Don't make a mistake with yourself, don't believe the words of quacks......" kowtowed and asked, "Niangniang is thin, right?" Your face isn't yellow, is it? ”

Qianlong knew at this time that this person was devoted to medical treatment and treatment, and he didn't know anything about the world's eunuchs. Hearing him say "I want to eat" and "I am the emperor", these disrespectful words did not get angry again, but said lightly: "Thin, the complexion is fine." You write a prescription, I hope you don't make a mistake. ”

One prescription was presented, and the second prescription was ordinary, just angelica, astragalus, skullcap, hawthorn slices, citrus aurantium, cicada, and a special sentence "This recipe has been used for a month, and then eat Korean ginseng". The first recipe is different, in addition to licorice, Yinqiao, there are three coins of lotus leaves, one point of ephedra, one point of stones, one point of mandala flowers, although the dosage is small, but they are usually the so-called "tiger and wolf medicine", Qianlong saw it, silently handed over the recipe to Hongday. Hongtian didn't dare to say a word after seeing it.

"Give him twenty taels of silver." Qianlong said, "Ye Tianshi, stand down!" ”

Ye Tianshi kowtowed here to receive the reward, and when Qianlong saw that he was leaving, he asked again: "The first prescription is laxative, and the second is supplemental." You didn't turn it upside down, did you? Ye Tianshi was busy kowtowing again, and said: "I didn't turn it upside down, believe it or not, the emperor!" ”

He was still too polite and rude, and Qianlong couldn't help him, so he couldn't help laughing, Hongtian waved his hand and said, "Go, go!" Ye Tianshi kowtowed again. Qianlong went into the inner room, opened the curtain, and saw that the queen was struggling to get up, so he hurriedly held it down, tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and asked with a flat pillow: "How are you?" Isn't this going to be better? Are you still dizzy and depressed? ”

"It's okay. I'm just dizzy, and that's it all year round. The queen smiled: "Don't look at my illness, you haven't left this study for the past few days, and it's rare to feel relieved in your life." When I heard you see people outside, and I rejoice when you are happy, and when you are sad and angry, I think that you are virtuous and wise, and there is always a way. It's rare to be so close to you, for so long. Qianlong said: "Hurry us back to Beijing, you move to the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, go to the Old Summer Palace in the summer, and you also live in me, this is called sorrow and happiness - what do you think of this Ye Tianshi medical Tao?" He is a man of the mountains and wilderness who does not practice etiquette, and he speaks a lot of perverse words, so he can laugh at it. The queen shook her head: "This is a person with real skills." He is optimistic about many patients, does not pay attention to etiquette, ordinary people do not care, and he is used to speaking in a bad way. Don't be annoyed with him, the emperor just has a broken mouth, and he doesn't have a bad heart......"

Qianlong smiled and said: "He has a few words, put them to others, and he will be killed on the spot." I wanted to slap him when I heard it, and then I stopped annoying him. Cao Cao killed Hua Tuo, I want to learn from Cao Apu? - However, his prescription is too bold, I still have to hand it over to the Tai Hospital, let the Tai doctors consider it, and ask the eunuchs to try it, there is no big hindrance and then you can use it-Also, the matter of Wei Jia's family that the fifth child said last time, you are also in a hurry, the fifth child has protected the safety of the mother and child, and when you return to Beijing, you will raise the child personally. After all, there are thieves in the palace, and the thieves are doing housework, which dynasty and generation have them, and if they see it, they will be punished again, and the punishment will not be spared. This is your word, and I will listen to you. ”

Hongday listened to the dialogue between the emperor and the queen husband and wife outside, such as the harmony of the piano, all of them were benevolent and warm, and his heart was also very moved. He bowed down through the curtain and said: "Don't worry, Niangniang, I will go to Linggu Temple to draw lots for you, and it is a lucky lot." Fu Heng also said that he had an affair and was in danger. The fifth child came back to Nanjing because he broke into the palace to seize his brother, he knew that he was guilty, and his mother didn't care, so I was more at ease. There is also a pile auspicious, there is an old locust tree in Wuxi Sunjiaqiao, it has died, this year suddenly the branches and leaves are luxuriant, what is more strange is that a cluster of spring flowers emerges on the old tree branch, people say that this is called "old locust hugging spring". After the fifteenth day of the first month, the spring flowers are blooming, and your disaster star has also retreated, and the mother accompanied the emperor to watch Lafayette together! ”

"Uncle Fifth is a liberalizer. Not only do I not care about the matter of breaking into the palace, but I am also grateful to you. The queen said through the veil, and her voice became extremely weak for a while: "The emperor is busy with state affairs, and the elder brothers will have more hours to rely on the fifth uncle in the future." Lao Huai huggs the tree in spring and grows, it is not unusual, even if it is auspicious, there is no plan to go to Wuxi, how many people have to be alarmed, how much silver is spent? You should persuade the emperor not to go. Hongday said with a smile: "The southern tour is a grand ceremony, the dead wood is in spring and the acacia hugs the spring flowers, don't you go to see it, won't you live up to the auspiciousness given by God?" The silver doesn't cost much, even if it is spent, it is still scattered to the people's homes, and the mother is just too careful. The queen was speechless after hearing this, and said for a while: "Ask the fifth aunt to come in often, and our concubines will talk more to relieve their boredom." ”

Hongtian resigned for a while, Qianlong sat for a long time, and also wanted to move around, so he walked out of the study on the side of the main bed of the palace with him, and walked slowly along the west bank of Mochou Lake.

"Old Five," Qianlong looked at the vast blue water, walked and asked, "There are only two brothers here, billions of people in the world, and there is no more family affection than you and me." Lai's mother's business, which woman do you think is the consumer? ”

Hongtian squinted his eyes, as if the water was a little dazzling, blinked twice, licked his lips and said, "It's hard to say...... You know, I'm a loose person, and I don't pay much attention to state affairs and housework. This time the matter is coming, I am anxious, so I will protect my brother first. It's not really suspicious. Master Nala went south with you, but she was not in Beijing, saying that she had made a pre-arranged arrangement, and not only did she not have the courage, but she also did not have the mind. I think, it doesn't have to be a woman, the eunuchs are villains, and they can't get along with any noble lord, and there are also people who make troubles...... Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated, and it must be careful just like handling state affairs. If you can't get an unjust case, later generations will perform the tanuki for the prince in the Qing Dynasty, which is not good-looking. Ming Wuzong also had this kind of thing, it's not good. Niangniang is the most virtuous and sage. If she has good body and bones, you will have no internal worries; Ah Gui, Fu Heng, Liu Tongxun, Yin Jishan, Ji Yun, are all good ministers, each of them is good at cooking, Fu Heng fights beautifully in this battle, and you will have no external worries. It is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, so he can't be confused, just guard against it. ”

Qianlong nodded when he heard this, and said, "Good brother, that's what I said." Yi Ying's matter is over, and I think it's easy to handle Jinchuan. Fu Heng was assassinated, and Duoyun came to cry Qin Ting, which proved that Sha Luoben was already flustered. I did my best. Someone asked for an excerpt, saying that the fortunes of the country are now in full swing. But are you not vigilant? Therefore, it is necessary to pull the peak of the 'extremely prosperous' higher and keep working hard until it reaches this peak. You think, once you reach the top of the mountain, you can see all the small mountains, no matter which way you take it, it will be a downhill slope! ”

A gust of autumn wind swept across the lake, the corridor of Shengqilou and the fishing platform in the distance twisted and turned, the reflection of the pink wall Biwa Xiuting and the red pavilion was folded and folded on the surface of the lake, and the eyes were full of white water and sky, and a large piece of old lotus half-withered fan blades were half rolled up and surging with the waves, and the sound of the water rustled and brushed and surging into a piece. The water is crystal clear, and even the algae at the bottom of the lake are swaying, as deep as ink-stained mist.

"Autumn is high, and the wind brings a chill to the bone." Hongyang looked at the entrance of the palace. The courtiers who were waiting for Qianlong to meet him had already seen his two brothers, and the black crow knelt down in a large area. Hongyang said, "There are too many things waiting for the emperor to cook. Please be sure to be thrifty and honorable. Things are difficult, times change, and tens of thousands of Chenhan are on the shoulders of the emperor. ”

Qianlong stood under the willow tree, let the autumn wind swing his robe, looked at the turbulence of the lake as if sad and happy, and said for a long time: "The day is difficult, I know." The day is difficult, but we have to go on...... It doesn't matter, it's still going to go on......"

Hongtian did not speak, the bronze horse of the palace tinkled in the wind, the ripples and autumn waves surged on the shore one after another, and the forgetfulness seemed to feel that the lake was not turbulent, as if the lake shore was going against the current......

"Go ahead," said Qianlong, "and tell them to come in and see me in official order." ”
