Chapter 636: Foreshadowing, Purpose
Liu Wentai came out of Kunning Palace with Chen Kuan, and his expression was still very excited.
After coming out, Liu Wentai couldn't wait to ask: "Grandpa Chen, how to start this matter?" When can the East Factory take people? ”
Chen Kuan said with a mocking smile: "Now that the flowers haven't even bloomed, are you thinking about the result?" ”
"This ...... Why? Liu Wentai was also rectified.
Chen Kuan said: "That female official Ning, but Cai Guogong's people, still has the support of An Bianhou behind her, Your Majesty is worried about it, not to mention that there is a virtuous concubine on her side." Do you think it's that easy to just press her on the head? ”
Liu Wentai hurriedly said: "But Gonggong Chen, isn't this all good?" ”
Chen Kuan sneered: "Our family is helping you say, but the matter is still up to you to implement, what do you think is a good thing?" Otherwise, why didn't Wang Yu go up by himself and ask you to come? ”
The envoy of the Tai Hospital didn't go to the hospital, and you want to be judged by a hospital, do you really think it's an honor?
"That'...... That ......" Liu Wentai doesn't seem to know how serious this matter is.
Chen Kuan said: "Either Cai Guogong doesn't make a move, if he really cares, one of your hospitals will be counted as one, and there will be no good fruit to eat." But now it seems that with the queen mother's support for you, you still have a chance to win. ”
Liu Wentai hurriedly said in a stammering tone: "Aren't we one?" ”
"Hey, you're wrong, our family just told the queen mother about the development of the empress dowager's illness and told the queen truthfully, but you're talking about everything else, don't want to pull our family into the water, otherwise...... Even if Cai Guogong doesn't care about you, you won't have any good fruit to eat! When Chen Kuan spoke, his tone was a little cold and vicious.
Do you Liu Wentai still want me to share a boat with you?
I don't weigh my own weight.
At best, you are just a small chess piece in the overall situation, if you are unwilling to be a chess piece, you will be abandoned first!
Liu Wentai said: "Cai Guogong...... I don't think I care about such a little woman, right? She...... Neither is Cai Guogong's person...... It's just the former wife of An Bianhou, and it is said that she is just a woman from a military family, and her family is on the Jianghuai side......"
At this time, Liu Wentai no longer has the conceit he had before.
"Our family doesn't know, you don't have to tell our family, it's up to you to create it yourself!"
As he was talking, a group of people in front of him came over, led by Yang Peng, who was still surrounded by people.
"I've seen Gong Chen." When Yang Peng saw Chen Kuan, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted.
Chen Kuan smiled and nodded, signaling for Yang Peng to go first.
Yang Peng also hurriedly saluted and said goodbye.
After Yang Peng passed, Chen Kuan's face was very bad.
Liu Wentai asked, "Why is Gonggong Yang here?" ”
Chen Kuan said: "The Northwest Victory, you don't even know this news?" Yang Peng is Cai Guogong's person, and it is estimated that he is going to face the saint! Look at his current scenery, you will know the benefits of settling with Cai Guogong, if you go against Cai Guogong, the end will be ...... Unexpected! ”
Liu Wentai was obviously frightened, and hurriedly asked: "Cai Guogong even asked about the affairs in the palace?" ”
"Hmph, are you so lonely in the hospital? That's it! It's not your fault that you've developed to this day! You can go back and wait for news. Chen Kuan waved his hand, which means that your Liu Wentai's mission is over.
"Grandpa Li's side ......"
"Li Zhang's side, our family will go and talk about it, and even if Your Majesty asks about it, our family will try our best to help you get there. But the root of this matter is the grudge between your Tai Hospital and the female official surnamed Ning, and it has nothing to do with our family...... Our family just inherits the principle of bystander Qing and tells this story, between the Tai Hospital and the female official Ning, who has better medical skills, or who is more necessary to stay in the palace...... That's your own business......"
Chen Kuan looked lively.
Even if Liu Wentai felt that he was being used, he could only quickly say in a bowing tone: "Yes." ”
……
……
Night.
Liu Wentai hurriedly returned to his house and closed the door himself when he arrived at home.
hurriedly entered his study again, picked up the pen and was about to write something, but before he could put down the pen, his grandson Liu Yinghuai asked to see him at the door.
"Didn't you want you to take a good look at it in the infirmary? What are you doing here? ”
Liu Wentai has a very bad attitude.
Liu Yinghuai said: "Master, I have been there all day, and some people in Beijing have come to seek treatment, and they clearly say that you must give a prescription to treat it." It is also said that the prescriptions of the hospital are too difficult to use now...... In the early afternoon, Xiaoling was called away by the people from the Tai Hospital, and she has not returned yet...... Are you ......"
"She's in trouble, you don't have to worry about it! Those who refuse to take the prescription will let them wait and die of illness! ”
Liu Wentai didn't bother to explain anything to his grandson.
picked up the pen, continued to write his own things, and waved his hand again: "Do your business, don't run outside all day, if you have nothing to do, take care of the inner courtyard, is there nothing to do for the newlywed Yan'er?" ”
Liu Yingkui seemed very insistent and said: "Master, you let your sister also study medicine, and your grandson doesn't dare to question it, after all, there are so many female relatives in Beijing who will be sick, and sometimes she needs to come forward to make it convenient." But after all, she hasn't learned medical skills, if there is anything big, you can find your grandson and me, and you don't have to let your sister come forward. ”
"Bastard!"
Liu Wentai was angry and angry at his grandson, "When will it be your turn to intervene in the big event?" Also, you are your sister who just treats people casually? She is now taking care of the nobles in the palace! It's not a thing! ”
Liu Yingkui is young and vigorous, so he is naturally a little unconvinced.
Liu Wentai endured his anger a little, and then said: "There is a woman in the palace, who claims to be good at medical skills, and everyone else treats her as a female half-immortal, but in fact, she is a goddess who does not learn and has no skills, and she thinks that she will dare to come out and cause trouble after learning medical skills for a few days." Your sister has been learning medical skills since she was a child, and she is not much stronger than that woman in matters such as medicinal materials and dispensing, this time it is your mentor Wang Yuan who came to her and went back to consult the nobles in the palace, and by the way, let the nobles in the palace know that the Xinglin family in Beijing also has a female doctor who can handle it, not to use those goddesses who are halfway out of the house and have no way! ”
"Who?"
Liu Yingkui heard it in a fog.
In this young man's mind, his grandfather, as the judge of Tai Hospital, has absolute prestige and authority in the medical community in Beijing and even in Xinglin, the world.
Now my grandfather is so angry for a little woman?
Liu Wentai said coldly: "These things have nothing to do with your juniors. ”
"But ......"
"Mind your own business." Liu Wentai said, "Your father left early, and the Liu family's medical mantle is always going to be passed on to you." And your attainments are not shallow, even your teacher praised you, and even said that in the future, you can be a member of the Tai Hospital, with such good conditions, which is beyond the reach of others, you should not live up to your teacher's expectations of you. ”
Liu Yingkui studied under Wang Yu.
Wang Yu is now the envoy of the Tai Hospital, and Wang Yu did not personally come forward in the matter of resisting Ning Tong's invasion, so the condition that Liu Wentai is so willing to serve is naturally to promote Liu Wentai's grandson.
It is precisely for this reason that Liu Wentai is willing to be a bird.
Liu Yingkui muttered: "No wonder those princes and nobles in Beijing have been sick recently, and they always say that our family's prescription doesn't work, and they also say that they want to go to another family to find medicine, isn't it because of this?" ”
As a physician, Liu Wentai's usual position is to work in the palace, and sometimes he will treat dignitaries and dignitaries, all of which are appointed by the Tai Hospital, but not everyone is qualified to let the Tai Hospital send people to see a doctor.
Liu Wentai couldn't come forward in person to see a doctor in private, so he naturally had to find a trusted person in the family as a representative.
Although Liu Yingkui is young, he is always the future helmsman of the Liu family.
Liu Wentai said: "Don't listen to those gossips, how can the medical skills passed on by our Liu family be beyond the reach of outsiders?" If anyone looks down on the prescription you prescribe, just tell them that it won't be long before the order of the apricot forest in Beijing will be rewritten, and they will know who is the orthodoxy of the Ming apricot forest! Whoever makes a mistake now will not even be qualified to seek medical consultation in the future, so let them find those You Fang Langzhong! The door of my Liu Mansion will no longer be opened for them. ”
"Lord, you are angry, your grandson knows what to say! The grandchildren will not complain about anything...... You also often say to me that harmony makes money, not only to give people consultation, but also to take the consultation fee, and you can't treat people coldly! The grandson stepped back first! ”
"Hmm. Walk! ”
Liu Wentai drove his grandson away.
He still continued to write something, as if he was the leader of the Daming Apricot Forest, and the responsibility for returning the clear sky of the Apricot Forest fell on him alone.
……
……
Early in the morning, the sky was bright.
There was still no early dynasty that day, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang came to the cabinet duty room early, but not long after they sat down, a team of people came from the celebrant supervisor, and Chen Bin came with Wei Bin in the steps of the six relatives who did not recognize.
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang also seemed to have known that this would happen for a long time and greeted each other.
While speaking, Cheng Minzheng, who was on duty at night, also came out, and the two sides sat down separately after the salute.
Chen Kuan's attitude was slightly kind: "The three elders, don't go around in circles, there is good news in the north of Ningxia, it is the 6,000 elite cavalry sent by Xinjian Bo to the British Duke, under the personal leadership of the chief soldier Ma Yi and the British Duke Zhang Rui, in the north of Ningxia hundreds of miles, chasing and killing the Tatars for three days, killing and capturing tens of thousands of enemy Kou, is withdrawing troops to Datong, it is estimated that there will be news of the withdrawal of troops back to Datong in the next two days. ”
Li Dongyang said: "Is it the British Public Bulletin, or is it a new uncle?" ”
Chen Kuan shook his head and said: "No, it was Ma Yi himself, because the road from the battlefield to the south back to Ningxia was blocked, they could only go all the way along the grassland to the east and walk back to Datong." Therefore, the report of the war was delayed by a few days, and good things were not afraid to be late. After this battle, after the winter of this year, the Ming soldiers bloomed in the east and west, which can be said to be a comprehensive victory, and there are also Duoyan Sanwei who served and surrendered, and now the grassland has fallen apart...... His Majesty has already intended to personally send troops to conquer the grasslands. ”
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang couldn't help but glance at each other.
That's when they knew.
It turns out that the emperor is not here to show off his power to them, the past victories are just clouds of the past, they think the emperor cares a lot, but in fact, the emperor cares more about the long-term plan.
The good news is just a foreshadowing, and the emperor wants to drive the expedition in person, which is the purpose.
Cheng Minzheng smiled: "This is a good thing, it is rare. ”
When this kind of scene came out, Cheng Minzheng couldn't help but glance at Liu Jian, and after finding that Liu Jian didn't say anything, he was also slightly embarrassed.
The Ming battlefield has achieved good news, and after the cabinet knows about it, shouldn't it say something?
Li Dongyang said: "With the current situation of the grassland, we can wait a few years later, the grassland will be weak, and then it will be calmed down in one fell swoop. ”
Chen Kuan said: "Recently, Long Ri has been ill and has to drop out of the dynasty, which does not mean that His Majesty is not concerned about the border affairs. If His Majesty is Longti Kangtai, he will definitely discuss the matter of sending troops with all the elders and ministers as early as possible, and it will not seem hasty to say hello to you now, and then go back and discuss it with the courtiers in detail. ”
Liu Jian looked dissatisfied and said: "If Your Majesty wants to drive the expedition in person, this matter must not be!" The border government of the Central Plains Dynasty has always been to make the Waiyi submit and establish a vassal in its place, without the intention of long-term rule. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is really no need to stir up the balance of side affairs in the way of the king's personal conquest. ”
Wei Bin on the side said: "Elder Liu Ge, this is not right!" Your Majesty wants to drive the expedition in person, but also for the long-term peace and stability of border affairs, the so-called balance, after all, is it completely boundless at all? Now His Majesty intends to personally recruit, but it is also to see the scene of the weakness of the foreign country, and only when His Majesty goes in person can it play a role in inspiring the morale of the army. ”
Cheng Minzheng smiled: "This is reasonable. ”
Wei Bin said: "What Cheng Ge Lao has seen is close to His Majesty. If you send troops to the grassland, you must have Cai Guogong and other brave and resourceful people to help, and Your Majesty will not be in danger...... After all, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers, he will definitely be able to succeed. ”
Li Dongyang said: "Father-in-law Wei, since ancient times, the kings and princes have been recruiting for the purpose of winning, but the results are often unsatisfactory. ”
"But today, Elder Li Ge can say, what is the danger of Your Majesty's royal conquest? For thousands of years, the flat grassland, this is probably the best opportunity, right? Wei Bin's tone looked arrogant.
The tone of his speech made Liu Jian and Li Dongyang unhappy when they heard it.
Chen Kuan raised his hand, did not let Wei Bin continue, and said in a relatively gentle tone: "Several pavilion elders, this matter is decided by His Majesty, and it is indeed debatable. But the overall strategy has been decided, as for whether to drive the expedition in person, and when to go on the expedition, it has not yet been talked about. Years ago, His Majesty wanted to recuperate, but I was afraid that he would not be able to go to the court, and these things had to be discussed, but I was afraid that he would have to wait until after the Shangyuan Festival. ”
There is still almost a month before the year, and half a month after the year.
If you Wenchen think it's not suitable, you can plan well in this month and a half.
It is always necessary to find out the reasons why the emperor's personal expedition is inappropriate, and try to convince the emperor, instead of just complaining in front of us eunuchs who have no decision-making power.
Liu Jian said: "Is this matter decided by Zhang Bingkuan?" ”
Chen Kuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty mentioned it to Cai Guogong first, and Cai Guogong has not given a verdict on this matter." Few, if you really don't want to, you can also consult with Cai Guogong, maybe only Cai Guogong can persuade Your Majesty...... We also hope that Your Majesty will not take risks, but as a king, everything is the first in the world, and it is also an example for the subjects of the world, so we people ...... It can only be on His Majesty's side. ”
If you want to object, don't tell us, we also understand that the emperor is too impulsive.
You Wenchen figure it out for yourself. (End of chapter)
