Chapter 122
"Master Ji, what's going on?" Prince Murong Xuan couldn't help but ask Lord Ji.
"Prince, this matter is related to Shangguan Rufeng, the son of Shangguan Rufeng, who has had deficiencies in the womb since he was a child, and Shangguan asked this official to visit a famous doctor in the southwest in order to treat Shangguan Rufeng's deficiency." Master Ji explained.
"I see, it seems that what Master Ji said about private matters refers to this matter."
"Exactly, as long as this Dugu Yang is willing to return to Beijing with this official, we can leave to return to the capital soon." Master Ji glanced at someone who was drinking to himself and said secretly.
"Don't be delusional, I have never been out of this southwest in my life, let alone go to a prosperous place in the capital, this lord, Lao Er advises you to break this thought, please be smart." The old man didn't look at Master Ji either, just tilted his head as if talking to the air.
"Dugu senior, everything can be discussed, as long as you are willing to go to the capital with the official, you can agree to any request from the official!" Master Ji was also in a hurry.
"Is that true?" Dugu seniors couldn't help but look at Master Ji, and then said, "What if I want to be the emperor of this Xiyan Kingdom, Lao'er?" ”
"Old man, Hugh is rude, just by virtue of this sentence, the official can ask for your head now." Master Ji didn't expect this old man to say such rude words, so he didn't feel angry.
"Master Ji, don't be angry, His Highness thinks that since this old man can treat the official just now, he must be a bodhisattva, let His Highness try it." Saying that, the prince unconsciously came to Dugu Yang's side, and then pulled out to take away the wine gourd in his hand.
"What are you going to do?" Seeing that Murong Xue was about to snatch the gourd in his hand, Dugu Yang asked subconsciously.
"Old man, you have been drinking for a while, and this wine gourd is almost out of wine, let His Highness help you fill some wine again."
Seeing that the prince Murong Xuan said this, this old man couldn't help but let go of the wine gourd and let him take it, only to see the prince come back with a full bottle of wine, handed the wine gourd to Dugu Yang and said: "Old man, I know that you are addicted to alcohol, it is better to do this, as long as you are willing to go to the capital, His Royal Highness will not charge you to drink in any restaurant in the capital, and let you drink, how about it?" ”
"This?" The old man seemed to be a little moved, but he looked at Master Ji and said: "Hmph, Lao Er doesn't believe that there will be such a good thing in this world, it won't be that I want Lao Er to treat those dignitaries, I only treat the poor in this life, but I can't break the rules." ”
"Old man, there is a way to be a doctor's parents, whether it is poor or rich, as a langzhong, you should treat everyone equally. Besides, the disease you want to treat this time is a deficiency disease brought out of the mother's womb, I heard that many doctors are helpless, and I don't want the elderly to live in the torture of deficiency for the rest of their lives, right? The prince was kind and seductive, compared with his usual impatient temperament, it was as if he had changed a person, and Xiao Lizi was stunned when he saw it, and he wondered if this was still his own prince.
"Ahem, is this one?" Dugu Yang seems to be moved, he has been practicing medicine for many years, and knows that the disease of deficiency can accompany him for life, and many people have been tormented by it all their lives, and the little brother in front of him is right.
"Dugu senior, this official earnestly asks you to go to the capital together, and if you have any requirements along the way, this official will try his best to meet them." Master Ji saw that the old man was a little loose, and said unconsciously again.
"That's it, old man, you can do it well and save the son of Lord Shangguan's family, otherwise the son of Shangguan may be depressed for the rest of his life." Although the prince has never seen this Shangguan Rufeng, he has already heard of it, and knows that he almost does not leave the house because of his deficiency, let alone make meritorious contributions, and he will be very unwilling to come as a man.
"Okay, Lao Er promised you. That's right, I'm because of this little brother, not because of you. Dugu Yang said and couldn't help but say again to Master Ji.
"Yes, I know." Lord Ji smiled gratefully at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"It seems that Master Ji has no regrets when he comes to the southwest this time!" Seeing this, Lord Zhang couldn't help but be happy for Lord Ji.
"Yes!" Master Ji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's right, this little brother, you just said that if Lao Er goes to the capital, he can eat and drink at any restaurant in the capital without charge, but is it true?" Dugu Yang's addiction to alcohol came up, so he couldn't help asking.
"That's nature, Your Highness has never deceived anyone!" Murong Xuan nodded.
"Okay, I only believe you, old man!" Dugu Yang seemed to have a special affection for Murong Xuan, and he said subconsciously.
"Thank you, old man!" Murong Xuan didn't expect him to trust himself so much, this heart didn't feel hot, feeling this feeling of being trusted, two words "It's so good!" ”
In the afternoon, after inspecting the banks of the Wu River, Lord Ji and Lord Zhang agreed that there was no problem, so Lord Ji planned to return to the capital tomorrow, and the prince acquiesced.
When I didn't want to leave the next day, since the people in the southwest rushed to see them off, some were even grateful and stayed all the way.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, we are reluctant to let you go, you have to come to our southwest often, this is your second home!"
"I can't imagine that the people of the southwest are so enthusiastic!" Seeing that the people who saw them off were rushing to send the steamed steamed buns and steamed buns, Murong Xuan couldn't help but burst into tears, and he subconsciously said with emotion: "Everyone, goodbye, if there is a chance, His Highness will definitely come back to see you." ”
"Lord Ji, His Royal Highness the Prince, take care all the way!" Lord Zhang escorted them to the official road with a team of men, and then stopped and watched them leave from a distance.
"Hey, I can't imagine that the prince has won the hearts of so many people during his time in the southwest, and there is a way to win the hearts of the people and win the world, and His Royal Highness is ashamed of himself!" Murong Ke saw the scene of the people seeing them off, and sighed unconsciously.
"Your Highness, why do you want to grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige? If the emperor did not ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to follow Lord Ji this time, but sent His Royal Highness to come, I am afraid that now the people of the southwest will be grateful to Dai Dede, Your Highness. Wood couldn't help but say.
"Wood is right, Your Highness, you don't have to dwell on the gains and losses at this time, there is still a long way to go, Your Highness has to go well!" Gu Yue'er was already by Murong Ke's side at this time, she lightly opened her lips and said secretly.
"Miss Gu is right!" Wood also agreed with Gu Yue'er's opinion, although he was still opposed to His Highness marrying this woman before, but listening to what she said at this time, he felt that His Highness might have made the most correct choice.
"Thank you!" His Royal Highness Murong Ke looked at Gu Yue'er unconsciously, he had a little contact with Gu Yue'er these days, and he also knew something about her, and felt that she was the kind of woman who could be trusted.
"Your Highness, you're welcome, you and I are already husband and wife, so it's too much to see!" Gu Yue'er smiled unconsciously, and Murong Ke stopped saying anything when she saw this.
When they said that, they were in too much of a hurry, and the prince and Lord Ji didn't enjoy the scenery around them, and they couldn't help but slow down when they went back.
"I didn't expect the scenery on this road to be really good, His Royal Highness has been staying in this palace, but he has never enjoyed such a beautiful scenery, if it weren't for this time to follow Master Ji out, His Royal Highness would have really lived in vain." The prince couldn't help but sigh.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you can't say that, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, where can it compare to the capital, our capital can be regarded as having everything!" Xiao Lizi disagreed.
"You are short-sighted, the frog at the bottom of the well, I can't imagine that this trip to the southwest didn't open your eyes, it's a pity." The prince stared at Xiao Lizi, and felt helpless that he had such a servant.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this trip to the southwest has greatly changed the official's impression of you, and the official will definitely play the emperor when he goes back, and inform the emperor of the prince's performance this time." Master Ji looked at Murong Xuan and couldn't help but say.
"This prince didn't do anything, but Lord Zhang, you have made a great contribution this time, and I think my father will definitely reward you well." Murong Xuan smiled.
"The prince's words are serious, and the official feels deeply insufficient, so he doesn't ask for any reward, just ask the emperor not to blame the minister." Master Ji said modestly.
Dugu Yang, who followed closely, couldn't help but raise his neck and drank again, his requirement for this way was not to stop drinking, otherwise he would not cooperate.
Seeing him cooing down, the wine gourd was empty again, so Dugu Yang shouted loudly in front of him: "Wine, Lao'er's wine is gone!" ”
"Little plum, serve wine to the old man!" Since he promised the old man that he would not stop drinking along the way, Murong Xuan did what he said.
"Yes!" Seeing this, Xiao Lizi hurried to do it.
"Hey, looking at his drunken appearance, the official feels that he has brought a drunkard back to the capital, I really don't know what Lord Shangguan will do if he sees this old man, should he think that the official is bringing a drunkard to fool him." Lord Ji was not invincible and worried.
"Master Ji, at that time, the official suddenly fell ill, if it weren't for this old man, maybe his life would be in danger, you also saw it at the time, you can't be wrong, I want to come to this old man's house has some skills." Prince Murong Xuan looked back, and the old man couldn't help but say.
"The prince is very right, forgive the official for being ignorant!" Master Ji couldn't help but admire the prince's ability to recognize people, and he hadn't seen through such an old qualification as him.
"Master Ji, you are too polite, thanks to you for mentioning it all the way!" The prince is not without modesty, and Lord Ji smiled at this, and his impression of the prince in his heart is better.
In the capital, the merits of Lord Ji and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who have successfully managed the flood of the Wu River have been spread everywhere, and the emperor is not particularly pleased when he hears it, he feels that it is the right move to let the prince follow Ji Kai to the southwest for disaster relief.
So he ordered that when the prince and Lord Ji returned to Beijing, they would have a feast to celebrate, and all civil and military officials would be present at that time.
For some people, the news made them very uncomfortable, even jealous, and even deeply dissatisfied.
