Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 225

Ma Qianli saw that Shi Zhongchen was almost laughing like a flower, he couldn't bear it anymore, and asked: "Chief Manager, you also like this poem?"Can it work... No wonder Chief Manager Shi likes to put on a fake beard when he's free!
Shi Zhongchen said repeatedly: "I like it, my family likes this poem very much. If our family is not mistaken, this Wang Ping'an also wrote a poem..." It suddenly occurred to me that the emperor ordered the poem not to be used in the restaurant. Leaked, few people in Beijing know about this, and this news cannot be leaked out of their own mouths.

He changed the subject and said: "Master Ma, how did you get this poem from Wang Ping'an? Didn't you just say that you didn't recognize him?"

"I... I really don't know him!" Ma Qianli blushed. Like Shi Zhongchen, he also had secrets that he couldn't tell.He said: "I didn't ask for it on purpose, it's because... it's because..." Ma Qianli couldn't think of any good excuses in his eagerness. asked this question.

Han also saw that his master was in trouble, so he hurried up to smooth things over, and said: "If the villain returns to the chief manager, the villain went to the Inspiration Temple to play today, and suddenly saw the prince of the Wang family treating the common people, so he remembered a friend of the villain. As a member of the Four Treasures of the Study, the daughter of my family suffered from lovesickness, so I asked my friend how to cure lovesickness. As a result, Wang Gongzi wrote this poem to me, saying that it is a prescription, drinking red bean soup, lovesickness will be cured !"

Ah, there is such a miracle in the world, lovesickness can be cured with red bean soup?The officials were in an uproar immediately. Lovesickness is a heart disease, and heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine, not foreign medicine and stones. This is well known, but Wang Pingan said that red beans can cure lovesickness. This is the first time I have heard of it!

Shi Zhongchen was also quite surprised, and said: "You are Lord Ma's family? Well, tell me, how does this red bean soup cure lovesickness?"

There are a lot of complaining women in the palace, and they all circle around the emperor alone, but the emperor can't take care of it alone, some concubines don't even see the emperor all year round, and there are all kinds of complaints. In Shi Zhongchen's view, this It can be regarded as a disease of lovesickness. If red bean soup can relieve lovesickness, then if this method is passed into the palace, wouldn't it be able to relieve the suffering of countless concubines who lovesickness the emperor!
Han is just a nursing home, he knows where the affairs of the palace are going, seeing that he was lucky enough to talk to such a big man as Shi Zhongchen, he was really excited, and hurriedly said: "This red bean is boiled, it must be turned into slag. ..." With a sigh, he said exactly what Wang Ping'an said!

The officials were all stunned, outside the Chengtian Gate, everything was quiet!

Han Yelian talked about it with comparisons, and after he finished speaking, he realized that everyone's expressions were wrong, and he was afraid in his heart, thinking: "I must have said something wrong, maybe everyone has a daughter who is lovesick. That being said, their hearts were touched, so much so that they began to think about going home to treat their daughter?"

Suddenly, there was a bang, and the officials burst into laughter together. Is there any mistake? You can cure lovesickness by trampling the red beans into slag!Their laughter was so loud that even the soldiers guarding the palace wall were puzzled and looked down one after another.

Shi Zhongchen also laughed hahahaha. It seems that this method cannot be used by the concubines in the palace anyway. It is not bad to imagine the emperor's face as a pile of scum. Lovesickness can be cured, but Where to put the emperor's face!

Shi Zhongchen shook his head, put the manuscript into his pocket, and did not return it to Ma Qianli. He waved at the officials and said, "Today is a day of great joy for all of you. You should have an audience with the emperor. Thank you for the grace of God. It is so unfortunate that the emperor I have important state affairs to discuss with the two prime ministers. I am afraid I will not be able to find time to summon you today. The emperor sent our family out to let you know. Please go back to the yamen to handle official business. When will you see the emperor again? decree!"

The officials felt disappointed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to complain, so they saluted Shi Zhongchen, thanked the chief executive for coming out to tell him, and went back to the yamen one after another.

But Ma Qianli refused and left, the loyal minister of the poem history hadn't returned him yet, he was still waiting to go home to comfort his daughter, he hesitated for a while, stepped forward, and said: "Chief Manager, do you want to see the prescription? "That means, it's useless for you to ask for this, why don't you pay me back!"

But Shi Zhongchen said with a smile: "Master Ma, let's go back now, and do a good job for the emperor. The future is boundless... ah!" Hehe laughed twice, and went into the palace.

Ma Qianli has spent most of his life digging for words, how can he not understand the meaning of the four characters "Future Future", if he dares to be wordy again, what kind of poem draft do he want, be careful that Wuliang will become Wuliang!

He wondered in his heart, although the poem is well written, what is the chief steward of the poem draft history going to do, is he going to dedicate it to the emperor?Oh, could it be that a certain princess in the palace is also suffering from lovesickness?

Not to mention that Ma Qianli was full of preoccupations and was thinking wildly outside the palace, but said that Shi Zhongchen entered the palace, came outside the Ganlu Hall, looked inside, and saw that the emperor was still discussing with the two prime ministers, so he didn't dare to go in and disturb him, so he He waited outside the hall, planning that the prime ministers would leave before he went in to report.

Inside the hall.

Li Shimin couldn't bear the irritability in his heart, walked up and down in the hall, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling both stood up, not daring to sit on the embroidery dragon pier, and stood aside silently.

Changsun Wuji was not very old, only in his early fifties, while Fang Xuanling was much older, almost seventy years old, the two had very different appearances and styles.Changsun Wuji stood on the ground with his chest puffed out, his eyes kept turning following Li Shimin's figure.But Fang Xuanling was not like this, he lowered his gaze, looking at the patterns on the carpet in front of him, as if he was thinking about something!
Li Shimin stopped suddenly, formed a palm with one hand, clenched a fist with the other, and said in a loud voice, "My Tang Dynasty must send troops, otherwise, if the trouble continues like this, the Turkic people will go south again within three years!"

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, swallowed it slowly, and said, "Your Majesty, it's easy to send troops, but it's hard to find a reason! The Turks are fighting each other, and the tribes are scattered, but if my army of the Celestial Dynasty goes on an expedition, they may be killed immediately. They will form a group and jointly resist our army, so don't worry about it!"

Li Shimin hummed, he didn't know the meaning of the words "be famous as a teacher", but the problem is that he can't find a valid reason!He looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Fang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Fang Xuanling frowned, and said: "My Tang Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven. If we want to attack the Tibetans, we really need a tenable reason, otherwise it will cause panic in other Tibetans, and Goguryeo has not yet perished. If they take the opportunity to create chaos and things go to war together, the consequences will be unpredictable!"

Li Shimin hummed again, and after walking back to the case, he sat down slowly, tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "The reason, the difficult thing is the reason!"

It turned out that the Turkic civil strife, which had always been a headache for Li Shimin, was now intensified.Turks are nomadic peoples on the grasslands, and nomadic peoples have a characteristic, that is, if they want to calm down outside, they must not stop inside!Since the Huns in the Warring States Period, history has used blood and fire to prove this iron-like fact countless times!

Since the former Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has been incessantly provoking internal struggles among the Turkic ministries. The same is true in the Tang Dynasty. The policy has not changed, but it has been implemented more thoroughly. Until next year, there will be no moment of peace!

But as the saying goes, heroes come out of troubled times!This proverb is so accurate that it can be used in any era and place.The Turkic people fought back and forth, and unexpectedly produced an outstanding tribal leader. This leader kept annexing various small tribes. According to the detailed reports from the Tang Dynasty, this leader has already possessed the strength of controlling [-] strings, which is enough to compete with the Turkic Khan. , on par!
With such great strength, the threat to the Tang Empire is really too great, and we can no longer watch that leader develop further.Otherwise, according to the iron law of thousands of years, once the tribes on the grassland are united and obey the command of a leader, the next order of the leader, without even thinking about it, will definitely be the army going south, entering the Great Wall to rob the Central Plains Sweep!
The last time this iron law was proven was not far away. The former Sui Dynasty was built after the destruction of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty was established by the Xianbei people, another former nomadic people. It took only a few decades Things before!

Although the Xianbei people have completely become Han people, and the word Xianbei has become a historical noun, the characteristics of the nomadic people are so well understood by the Tang monarchs and ministers that they don't want to understand them anymore. Not to mention others, the current Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, Changsun Wuji But with the surname of Xianbei people!
The difficult period of the founding of the Tang Dynasty has passed, and the national strength is becoming stronger and stronger, but it will take a while to recuperate before it can carry out a large-scale war of annihilation against the Turks. Things from the Li Zhi era!
The problem Li Shimin faces is that it is not impossible to send troops to the Turkic expedition, but if the situation expands and all the tribes on the grassland come together to resist the Tang army in unison, the consequences will be serious, and it may even prompt the tribes of the grassland to fight against the Tang army. Unify and trigger a bigger war!

Now, the question that the Tang monarchs and ministers are discussing is how to find a reasonable reason to kill the increasingly powerful tribe without arousing the fear of other tribes, so that other tribes will not support them, so the reason is very important.

Above the main hall, there was silence for a long while.Fang Xuanling suddenly said: "The reason can be found, but it will take some time. We have to send someone to the grassland!"

Fang Mou Du Jue, Fang Xuanling is the best at strategizing, his ideas are often very easy to use!

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and said: "There is still time, even if we send troops, we have to prepare for a period of time, at least we can officially go out next year."

Fang Xuanling stretched out his hand to wrap his beard, stroked it lightly, and said: "Borrow soldiers, let the Turkic people borrow soldiers from us, what is the reason, let the Turkic people find it themselves, we just need to send troops!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were slightly taken aback, and suddenly they both showed joy.Changsun Wuji said: "Borrow soldiers! You want to find someone from a small Turkic tribe to sue, and then borrow soldiers from my Tang Dynasty?"

But Li Shimin said: "Then I really have to go to the grassland to find this one. It's not acceptable for ordinary people to complain, you have to go to the royal family!"
