The Surgeon's Guide to Survival in the Royal Palace, Section 189
"What are you doing with this?"
Ning Yi squatted down to check the integrity of the corpse, and opened his mouth while inspecting it:
"As a teaching aid, surgery is based on anatomy, and the doctor must be very familiar with the position and function of all the bones in the human body."
Ning Yi is actually a little regretful, there is a lack of medicine and technology here, and there is no way to preserve the corpse as a general teacher like modern times, so I can only try to be familiar with the bones, and the general teacher is hard to find.
Yan Yunzhou sat down on the stone table on one side, looked down at the white bone in front of him, and said with some curiosity:
"You said you were going to replace my knee joint, did you dig out a piece of bone?"
Ning Qi raised his head suddenly, and then looked at Yan Yunzhou's eyes staring at the knee of the white bone, digging out the bone sounded quite scary, and yes, when a layman heard that knee replacement did think of digging out the entire knee and replacing it, he couldn't help but explain:
"No, replacing the knee joint does not mean digging out your knee joint entirely, but replacing the worn cartilage and subchondral bone on the joint surface with other materials, usually metal or polyethylene spacers, so don't be nervous, you won't dig your kneecap directly."
Yan Yunzhou's hand subconsciously touched his knees, and muttered as if he had palpitations:
"I've got you."
drew a burst of laughter.
After Yan Yunzhou's health improved, he pondered about entering the palace, after all, the reform of the Guozijian was imminent, and if Ning Ji was really ready to start the class, he might as well take advantage of this time to bring it up.
"I handed over the fold, we will enter the palace tomorrow, and we will go to Luo Yueli there this afternoon, he knows the most about the situation of reform."
Ning Yi naturally had no opinion, after lunch, when Yan Yunzhou woke up from a nap, the two of them took a carriage to Luofu, Yan Yunzhou did not walk through the main gate in a high-profile manner, but entered through the side door:
"Lord Wang, Lord Hou, Your Majesty is inside."
Yan Yunzhou and Ning Qi glanced at each other, just right, if Li Yan was also there, it would save him another trip to the palace tomorrow, and the two entered Luo Yueli's courtyard.
Everyone outside the door was sent down, this is already an unwritten rule, as long as His Majesty goes to Luofu, Luo Yueli will never leave people in the courtyard, let alone let anyone enter.
Yan Yunzhou thought about going in and knocking on the door to ask, but he didn't want the two of them to hear a lot of commotion inside as soon as they arrived in the courtyard, it seemed to be the sound of a cup falling to the ground, followed by Li Yan's suppressed voice:
"Teacher, do you have to force me like this?"
Li Yan originally thought that it would be Luo Yueli's birthday in a few days, and it had been almost a week since the last incident before he mustered up the courage to come over.
I sent the courtiers early today to come to his house, probe the wind, ask him how he wanted to spend his birthday, and apologize again, but when I came in, I saw that he was writing an excerpt, which was an excerpt that he asked to be released.
Luo Yueli didn't shy away from covering up the fold, he lowered his eyes and watched the tea flowing from the overturned tea cup soak the entire fold, and knelt down silently, even his knees did not deliberately avoid the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, the green tendons on Li Yan's forehead were beating, and his hand grabbed his arm:
"Get up."
His strength was a little great, Luo Yueli was even pulled by him, Li Yan's eyes were scarlet, and he pressed the person against the table behind him:
"Why? Why go? What the hell are you going to do? What am I going to do for you to stay with me? ”
Obviously, the queen mother agreed, why did Luo Yueli just refuse, refused to admit that he liked him, obviously he felt it, and now that he wants to be released out of Beijing, he doesn't even want to see him? He just disgusted him?
Li Yan's hand clasped Luo Yueli's waist, imprisoning the person and unable to move, Luo Yueli looked at the young emperor in front of him who had seen him since he was a child, the complexity in his heart was indescribable, all kinds of thoughts came to his mind, he suddenly laughed, and his laughter was sharp and sarcastic:
"What do I think? Li Yan, what have I taught you all these years? Teach you to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors? ”
The sharp voice even trembled a little, and Li Yan's hand on the person's waist suddenly trembled, remembering that crazy night, although he kept his reason in the end, but that night was a complete humiliation for Luo Yueli.
His voice was a little unsteady, even with caution and fear:
"I, teacher, I was blindfolded that day, why shouldn't... I admit my mistakes, admit punishment, you can punish me however you want, don't go, don't go, teacher..."
Li Yan's eyes were red, Luo Yueli closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and swallowed all the embarrassment, he didn't want to recall every scene of that night in his life, his voice was low and tired:
"Your Majesty, what makes you think that I, Luo Yueli, will be willing to be a flattering and favored minister?"
Li Yan's face turned white, and his hands were covered with cold sweat:
"I didn't, I never thought of you like that, teacher..."
Luo Yueli opened her eyes, and the eyes that were as cunning as foxes before were dark and dull, and there was no longer the slightest light.
Yan Yunzhou and Ning Ji, who vaguely heard some movement outside the door, paused, glanced at each other, Ning Ji raised his hand and pointed in the direction outside, it is better for them not to participate in this kind of struggle, Yan Yunzhou also nodded, and the two of them moved out lightly.
There is such a disturbance inside today, they must not be able to stay, Yan Yunzhou and the housekeeper and Zhang Gonggong at the door informed him, and only said that he would come back another day.
Sitting on the carriage back, Ning Yao's brows stretched for a while and wrinkled for a while, his expression was unusually rich, and Yan Yunzhou said with some amusement:
"What do you think?"
"What do you think I think? Why did this suddenly happen? I vaguely heard that Luo Yueli was leaving Beijing? ”
Is that so? He heard him right, right? Yan Yunzhou actually didn't understand, Li Yan's letter also mentioned that although Luo Yueli didn't agree, he still got into Luofu.
Often you can rub it to dinner at night, and the relationship between the two people shouldn't be stiff, but it's obvious that something is going on.
The gossip is engraved in the bones, and Ning Ji thinks about the conversation between the two people:
"Why do I feel as if Your Majesty has done something sorry for Luo Yueli?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
The dispute in the house did not end because of the departure of Yan Yunzhou and the others, Luo Yueli refused to let go again, as if she had made up her mind to leave Beijing:
"Your Majesty, what you want to prove has been proven, what else do you want?"
There was no undulating voice, Li Yan clenched his fists tightly, and the paranoia in his bones exploded at this moment:
"I won't let you go, never, teacher, you have so many things you want to do, don't you do them? If you think about it again, if the teacher can't think clearly, I will always stay with the teacher. ”
Li Yan didn't dare to imagine what would happen to Luo Yueli if he really left him, Luo Yueli sneered, and his thin body shook with laughter:
"Okay, good, it's really a good student I taught, in that case, the minister is waiting for His Majesty to send it down, Your Majesty, please go back."
Li Yan actually regretted it a little when he said it, looking at Luo Yueli's somewhat pale face that was already angry, he didn't dare to force him any more, so he could only leave Luofu.
After he left, Luo Yueli's body almost collapsed on the edge of the table, and his memory seemed to return to the palace seven days ago, when the young emperor drank a lot of wine, his eyes were red, as if he had some unspeakable grievances:
"Teacher, I will not have a queen in my life, nor will I have a concubine, why don't you want me?"
The government and the opposition do not know who revealed the rumors, and recently there has been a lot of speculation about the relationship between him and Li Yan, and the reform of the household department has made him make countless enemies in the court, and the Chinese official group and the family clan used to oppose each other, but now they are all standing together because of the land Qingzhang.
If this force is twisted into a rope, it will be extremely terrifying, the emperor is the emperor of the world, and the emperor of the courtiers, Daliang can't withstand the turmoil, and how difficult it is for Li Yan to get to this point today, no one knows better than him.
He can not be a queen, he can pass the stepchildren, but he can't be an emperor who is not unruly with his teacher, causing the government and the opposition to rise up and attack him, Luo Yueli will never allow such a thing to happen, his expression is cold:
"Your Majesty does not want to have an heir, but the minister does not want to, the minister does not like men, and the minister will marry a wife and have children."
Don't like men? Will he marry and have children? Every word made Li Yan's little remaining reason fall again, Luo Yueli remembered the sound of Li Yan tearing his clothes, and remembered the feeling that he was pressed against the couch and couldn't resist.
The oppression of the court since the heavens, Luo Yueli's cold face, all made Li Yan's emotions accumulate to a peak, the paranoid mood made his reason gradually dissipate, his hand reached under the man's body, and only the tearing sound of the cloth and the man's unbearable and heavy gasping sound remained in the room.
Luo Yueli remembered the feeling of being out of control, remembered the voice she made at the time, and remembered what Li Yan said:
"Does the teacher really dislike men? And now? You obviously like it. ”
His hand was under the man's body, and he liked it too:
"Teacher, why don't you just refuse to admit that you like me too? Is worldly fame and fortune so important? ”
"Get out, get out."
Luo Yueli's fingers grasped the bed, his fingertips were pale, and he didn't even know what he had returned to the house.
Li Yan really drank too much that night, and when he woke up the next morning, he only had a general impression of yesterday's events, but it was this only impression that made him break out in a cold sweat, and since then Luo Yueli has taken sick leave, and he has not dared to come to the door for several days.
Knowing that Luo Yueli's birthday was approaching, he found a reason to go to his house, but Luo Yueli was leaving.
Yan Yunzhou had just had dinner when he received a post from Luofu:
"Lord Wang, Lord Hou, Lord Luo wants to invite the two of you to come over to talk about it."
When he sat in the carriage, Ning Qi was still curious:
"Why can Luo Yue leave us so late?"
Yan Yunzhou leaned in the car and closed his eyes:
"Probably because of something with Your Majesty."
This time was the first time they had seen Luo Yueli since they returned to Beijing, and even Yan Yunzhou was shocked that the man had lost so much weight, and frowned slightly:
"Can't you get enough to eat in the house? How did you lose so much weight? Are you okay? ”
Ning Qi also looked at him with some concern, and Luo Yueli waved his hand slightly:
"It's okay, I've been too busy lately, your face is much better than when I went out of Beijing before, it seems that Huang Lao's needle is effective."
Yan Yunzhou also nodded:
"Well, it's much better, let's say, I didn't just want to see the effect of Huang Laozhen when I came over so late, right?"
Luo Yueli sighed:
"I'm going to be transferred out of Beijing, I won't come back in a short time, the household inventory has moved a lot of families in the past few months, and my excerpts have been piled up in the imperial study, and the court is at a stalemate at the moment, Your Majesty has been pressing my excerpts, this Qingzhang land we have taken the real place, and we can go one step further if we take a step back."
Yan Yunzhou's eyes have been staring at him, he and Luo Yueli have been friends for many years, and he knows his temperament the best, Luo Yueli's wrist is sleek, and he takes three steps to do things, and he is leaving Beijing today not only because of the so-called courtiers, he picked up the teacup and spoke:
"Old fox, don't sell Guanzi at this time, I'm really not in the capital recently, but I'm not deaf or blind, and I know some of the voices of the court, are you for this?"
Luo Yueli knew that she couldn't hide it from him:
"Yes, the DPRK and China have involved me in the affairs of His Majesty, and after all, such matters are not in harmony with the number of rites, and if it is really discussed, it will not be of any benefit to His Majesty.
At this moment, it seems that the world is decided, but in the early years of the court, those civil officials who were promoted by the imperial examination had a lot of collusion with the local scholars because of the land, and in the long run, wouldn't Your Majesty be hollowed out by them?
"The He family in Jiangnan is a local family, and the salt tax accounts for three or four points, in order to stabilize the people's hearts and the court in recent years, this salt tax has never been carefully inspected, you can take a look at this list."
Luo Yueli handed Yan Yunzhou a list, and Ning Qi also leaned over to take a look, but he didn't know most of the names on it, but Yan Yunzhou frowned after reading it:
"These are the courtiers of the He family?"
Luo Yueli's eyebrows tightened:
"Yes, the turbulent wind and clouds in this capital are not much worse than the fighting in the north, this is the time to play, Your Majesty's thoughts about me will only become the reason for him to be criticized by the world at this moment, it is better to break it."
Ning Qi sat on the side, and admired Luo Yueli's character in his heart, calm and rational, but such people often live the most tired, Yan Yunzhou and him have nothing to shy away from saying:
"You can break it, will Your Majesty break it?"
Luo Yueli thought of Li Yan's attitude:
"He'll agree."
Yan Yunzhou didn't doubt his words, Li Yan was raised by Luo Yueli, if anyone can really hold Li Yan, I'm afraid only Luo Yueli is the only one.
"I came to the two of you today, and I also had a conversation with you, if I leave, your majesty will bother more."
