A game of chess

Houtian turned to his side on the bed, and he decided to tell the governor Li Hetian and Bai Ke about what he had discovered. But before telling them, you must inform Emperor Ming of this in advance, and it is through secret letters. Because he knew it was not trivial. Because only he and his father know the art of yin and yang in the country, if neither of them can let the yin and yang of Bingzhou merge. There is no doubt that Bingzhou will become a "sick state". Because the people who live there will give birth to some ghost fetuses, and adults will also go crazy because of the incompatibility of yin and yang, even if it evolves into a human cannibalism, it is not surprising. Because nature is so magical.

I can't sleep, I just don't sleep. Houtian got up to study ink, and on the yellowed letterhead, he carefully wrote in small letters, not because he was afraid that the handwriting would not be good, but because he must pay attention to his attitude and rhetoric. Because accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, his grandfather and father are his best teaching materials.

At the end of the epistle, a meaning is also expressed. If his father can't solve this problem, please tell the gods of the Witch God Cult about this, maybe they have a way to save this thousands of miles of territory and millions of people.

They stayed in Bingzhou City for a month. But they have to stay on.

The four famous doctors Gu, Yue, Hua, and Guihai have left. When I left, I left behind, anesthesia powder and acupuncture to stop bleeding, although Bai Ke knew all these knowledge, he still said thank you. This is the support of the predecessors to the younger generations. Houtian and Baike sent the four doctors out of the city gate, and hurriedly returned to the post house. Houtian was waiting for the imperial capital's reply at his residence, while Bai Ke was studying his amputation. Hopefully, we can give sick children a normal life.

The notice was sent out and read, and it was posted everywhere in the streets and alleys, so I was left with a copy. It says that the white shell of the imperial doctor is plastic surgery for children, and the extra part of the human body is cut off. Let them have a normal life.

However, very few children come for treatment, and this has nothing to do with the newborn calf's children who are not afraid of tigers, but the parents of the children, and this method is unheard of. Even if someone is dangling in front of the white shell shop, it is also to see if other people's children see whether they do it or not. Other people's children have plastic surgery, there is no problem, and they are still alive and well. I'll just bring my family's bolt pillars and dog leftovers to make it, and it doesn't cost anything anyway. But every parent thinks so, where is the first person to eat crabs!

So Bai Ke had to take the medical records and residential address recorded during the free clinic to persuade them one by one. Although the amputation method is new, it is someone who has done such a thing before, and it has succeeded. For example, someone in your state has been bitten by a poisonous snake on his left leg, and if he is not treated in time, his left leg ulcerated, and if he is not amputated, he may not even die, you see that he is still alive and well after amputation, and the sooner your child's disease is treated, the better the recovery in the future. Then Bai Ke explained to the parents the physiological knowledge of children's development.

For the next generation of Bingzhou, Bai Shell is also desperate. Although he can usually speak well, it is the first time that he is like today. If the two brothers were here, they would not dare to recognize this brother.

Don't talk about it, and get back to business.

Finally, the first parent was moved to take the child to plastic surgery. The place of operation is not far from the post house. The governor had arranged for him a house on the street, and it was easy to find where to go. For amputations, the white shell is not inexperienced, but a little inexperienced. Please come to the doctor in Bingzhou for advice, amputation equipment and operation procedures. First, he asked the military doctor to do the knife himself, and he watched it himself, and finally he was able to skillfully pick up a thin knife and apply the knife to the fat, fleshy skin of children and babies. So now Bai Shell is giving the child who comes to the doctor all day long, and performs his amputation. Angelica Baizhu didn't dare to look in the house, so she simply boiled anesthesia and wound clearing medicine at the door of the room. Every day, the children collected have a basket of calves and arms. No matter how clean the room is, it will turn blood red in the evening. When some parents saw this scene, they either fainted, or cried for their father and mother. This terrible cry frightened some waiting parents to go home with their children in their arms, and saw that the treated children, except for the wounds wrapped in cotton cloth, were no different from normal children, and they were treated with the children in their arms for a few days.

When it comes to the easy amputation scene, the operation is very complicated, and the bones, muscles, and blood vessels of the human body must be well understood, just like a cow is solved. Stop the bleeding first and then operate.

No matter how skilled Bai Shell's medical skills are, not all kinds of sick children can be cured. White Shell treats only ten children a day, and most of them are overwhelmed. Moreover, these 10 children have all seen the medical records and can use the amputation method, so they will notify their parents to come tomorrow for diagnosis and treatment. For children who can't have plastic surgery, just a smile, a desolate smile, love is not helping.

One day, after treating ten children, he called the attendants brought at the door, asked them to clean the room, and washed away the blood with clean water. At this time, a mother in tattered clothes and smelly smells suddenly rushed over, carrying her daughter on her back, only one or two years old. Plop knelt in front of the white shell, tears flowed down his eyes, and he hurriedly kowtowed. shouted, God doctor, God doctor, you help me save my daughter, if you can't cure this disease, how can she live in the future!

Saving lives and helping the wounded is the duty of a doctor. The white shell town has the spirit of the town. The mother hurriedly untied the rope, untied her daughter from her back, and handed it to Bai Shell, who opened the swaddling clothes and saw a baby girl without legs, born without legs. Bai Shell said I couldn't be treated. His therapy can only cut off the excess in the body, and there is nothing he can do about the mutilated. This voice is so desolate and desperate to anyone's ears. But the mother still kowtowed violently there, and blood came out. It still hasn't stopped. Until she passed out, the little girl was also crying hoarsely in the midst of her mother's crying. Squinting her eyes, tears could not be stopped, and the white shell saw fear in her eyes that only revealed meaning, fear of the future. Fear of a two-year-old girl. Then the mother and daughter were helped away by someone who knew them.

Early the next morning, Bai Ke was attracted by the bustling crowd by the river. I also joined in the excitement and gathered around to see. It was two bodies, a woman and a girl under two years old. Bai Shell retreated coldly in his heart, it was the mother and daughter who came to him yesterday evening to heal. From the stumbling and stumbling of others, he knew what had happened.

That mother was indeed from Honshu and got married three years ago. lived happily ever after, but a happy marriage lasted until the moment she gave birth. Because when she gave birth, her husband found that the girl she gave birth to had no legs. The husband, who had recovered from his astonishment, told his wife, who had just given birth, that she had come to harm their family and that she had given birth to a legless baby. Before the woman could get out of bed, he threw her out of his house without regard to the relationship between husband and wife. This mother, with her child, has no face to go back to her hometown in Kuaijun, so she can only stay in the Wushen Temple in the east of the city, and there are many people who sympathize with her and help her, and even if she is hungry, there are so many tributes on the table in the temple, and no one says anything after eating, how can she not think of looking for a short-term view.

Of course, the onlookers didn't know that the mother and daughter came to seek medical treatment yesterday evening. But how could the white shell pretend not to know. The guilt of self-blame almost made him cry bitterly. Maybe it's really because they said the wrong thing that they can't think about it.

Human life is so fragile, and human soul is so fragile.

Houtian was on the top floor, of course, he saw what happened in the river, he didn't know what it was, he just thought why people didn't fight against fate. There are physiognomy in divination, there are bone physiognomy, flesh physiognomy, skin physiognomy, the general bone touch looks, look at the innate bone physiognomy, bone physiognomy reveals the number of human lives; but after reading the bone physiognomy, but also look at the flesh and skin, they are all acquired, can be changed by human efforts. This is the so-called "fate is determined by heaven, and fortune is made by itself".

The body was placed in Yizhuang for three days, and the husband's family was notified to collect it and bury the mother and daughter properly. But the husband's house never came, and no one came to the woman's house. So Bai Ke invited Houtian to make a superduit for them, and then buried them in a mound outside the city. It is also regarded as atonement for the guilt of the heart. Only their names were written on the tombstones, and the husband's family name was removed.

Later, Bai Shell angrily approached Li Hetian and told him about it. Li Hetian also seemed a little embarrassed, because it was difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs. At that time, Jiachen was not allowed to abandon children, so that there were two or three thousand sick children in Bingzhou. Now this husband's family is indeed morally unjustifiable, but in law, he has not committed a crime. This kind of thing can't be managed, because this kind of thing is staged in the city of Bingzhou day and night.

Li Hetian still helped, and Bai Shell let out a bad breath. It's just that this way is not very decent, it is to find someone, deliberately find fault with the woman's husband, and beat him. That's an afterword.

In his room, Houtian was either studying Feng Shui Yin and Yang, or waiting for Emperor Ming's reply, neither of which came to fruition. Houtian didn't need divination to know that Emperor Ming would not reply to the letter, because the day of sending the letter had passed another month.

In fact, Emperor Ming replied, and it was a thick letter, which was sent quietly by someone, but this letter was not sent to Houtian, but to Li Hetian.

It was Li Hetian in his own residence, listening to Bai Shell's complaints. Suddenly, the master walked into Li Hetian's living room. has been waiting, has been standing, Li Hetian and Bai Shell talk he didn't insert a word. Bai Shell is also an understanding person, and he sat for a while and then returned to the post house. However, Li Hetian said to the white shell, don't worry, the two looked at each other and smiled.

The master standing on the side didn't wait for the white shell to go away, and whispered in the young master's ear in a panic, Li Hetian was so big It was the first time he saw the master so flustered, and he was so cautious in his own mansion. In fact, what the master told him was not any special news, that is: Kyoto sent a secret envoy here.

The master told the ins and outs of the matter. Not long after Bai Shell came to the mansion, the secret envoy arrived. It was an eight-hundred-mile expedited way to come to Bingzhou. These are nothing, the important thing is that the secret envoy did not go to the government to deliver official documents, but in Li Hetian's private residence. Moreover, the man was not wearing any official clothes, and even the horse he was riding was not a dark cloud horse bred by the government station. Looking at the horse's arrogant demeanor and the bearing of the secret envoy, it must have come out directly from the palace. The envoy said that I would only talk to Governor Li Hetian, and I could not invite him into your study and let the servants wait. The master asked the reason, and the secret envoy didn't care about it at all, so he hurried to invite the young master to see that there were guests, but fortunately the conversation was almost over. Just sit around and organize your own language. To make a long story short, the matter was made clear, and it just so happened that they also walked to the door of the study. When the three of them met, the envoy still didn't say anything. I also understood that I had to avoid it, so I said to the master, there are still some small copywriters in the government that have not been dealt with, and the small ones will retire first.

Only then did the secret envoy see that he took out the secret letter he was carrying, saying that he was a close confidant of Emperor Ming in the palace, and this letter was handed over to him by Emperor Ming two and a half days ago, and asked me to pass it on to you. I just keep the letters, and I don't care about the rest. I'll come back tomorrow, and if you have any reply, I can do it for you. Li Hetian asked the secret envoy to find a place to rest, if not, it was not too shabby, and the aggrieved venerable person could rest for another night, and he could go directly on the road tomorrow. The envoy also agreed, and living there, especially the post station, could reveal his identity. Let the housekeeper of the house clean up the best room in the wing, let the secret envoy live there, and tell the people in the house that this is a close relative. Since the secret envoy can't go out casually, then the wine and food from Fushan Building are sent directly into the secret envoy's room. He also invited the girl from the Water Jade Pavilion to come to the mansion to serve the secret envoy. After all, it was Emperor Ming's close attendants who couldn't afford to offend.

Arrange the envoy and close the door of the room. Carefully unwrapped the secret letter. The letter is thick, and the words are dense. It can be seen that Emperor Ming was also very excited when he wrote this letter, because of the dryness of the pen, the weight of the pen, and the force of turning and picking the hook, some of the heavy places of the pen actually pierced the paper. These phenomena paint the state of mind of the writer. The logic and wording in the letter are also frequently wrong, and the grammar is not scrutinized and I don't understand what Emperor Ming wants to express. If it weren't for the signature of the letter and the special embossing of "Yiyun Heqi", which was dedicated to Emperor Ming, Huang Xuan was used exclusively for Baicheng, Li He naively regarded him as someone's immature prank.

Although there are inappropriate places in calligraphy and grammar, when he finished reading it, his body broke out in a cold sweat, this is not a description, but Li Hetian's underwear is really soaked. He was afraid that he had misunderstood the holy will, so he repeated it dozens of times, word by word. The meaning expressed in the letter is clear. Li Hetian scolded "forget the eight ends".

"Forget the eight ends" is forget the eight ends, but the words of the dog day still have to be listened to, so I invited the master in again, and directly picked up a few pieces of letter paper to show the master. The master has already been mentally prepared: the young master will invite himself to counsel, the young master's face is ugly, and his temper is not good, it must be related to the content of the letter, and it is not good news.

The master also looked at the candle several times, only to realize that he did not understand the meaning of Emperor Ming. During this period, Li Hetian did not urge the master to watch quickly, watch quickly. Thinking that he just didn't believe his eyes, he looked at it dozens of times, waiting for his master to reread it over and over again. Until the master put down the letter, sighed, and said: "Abandoning the car to protect the handsome is a good and dangerous move." ”

Regarding the reply, they thought about it for a long time, but they didn't know how to write it. Writing stopped, and I wrote until sunrise. Instead of showing exhaustion, they showed a rare exuberance. The reply is very simple, just follow Emperor Ming's wishes.

"Do I want to write a letter to my father and ask him what the old man means?" Mr. Li said.

"No need young master, Emperor Ming loves his reputation, like a lover of beauty, he can do this outrageous thing today, he must have found some important ministers to discuss secretly, maybe they are in the next big game of chess, no one can see the big banner game, our level is not seeable, it's just 'blind man touching the elephant'." Young master, there are too many people involved in this matter, we must keep it secret, in case the news leaks, at least one million people will die, and the three counties will die for this. The master bent his waist, and his shrewd little eyes kept looking at the young master.

"I understand. So Li Hetian burned the secret letter.

After opening the doors and windows, and dispersing the smoke, he went to invite the secret envoy to have breakfast together, and the secret envoy was too happy last night, and only got up at three o'clock in the morning, washed and dressed up, ate some small stoves opened by the cook, and took a reply letter and took his leave. Watch the back of the envoy disappear.

Li Hetian and his master's hearts were heavy, because this game of chess had just begun.

Li Hetian, who had always been respectful and commendable to Bai Ke and Houtian, suddenly asked when they planned to leave for Beijing. It was unusual, but they didn't think much of it. It is said that the sick children who can be treated now have been cured and the current situation of recovery is not bad, but the cause of the disease has not yet been found, so such things will definitely happen in the future. When Bai Shell said, "The cause has not been found yet", he specially glanced at Houtian, and Houtian still listened as if he hadn't noticed. Others saw it in their eyes and thought that this was a white shell satirizing Houtian, and they all smiled. Because they have been in Bingzhou for two months, Houtian either stays in the room or wanders around. Although Emperor Ming entrusted him with a heavy task, he had a somewhat proud look. It's too unusual.

Li Hetian heard that they were in a hurry to return to Beijing, so it was difficult to urge. Besides, Emperor Ming asked them to come, and did not stipulate that they go. After all, when they came, they treated the sick and sought medical treatment, and those who had their limbs amputated reported their conditions to Dijing every day. He also fulfilled his duty as a courtier. As for what Houtian did, she couldn't control it at all, because she was a member of the Wushen Sect.

Besides, three years from now, it would be futile to look at their efforts today.

So, Li Hetian was busy with Emperor Ming's plan and his own plan. He began to reuse Gui Luan, the son of the Great Commander Guishan.
