Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 295 The Secret of the Young Slave

Monk Xuanzang is the famous Tang monk Tang Sanzang. Before he came back from Tianzhu, he already had some fame, but he did not attract the attention of thousands of people as described in novels and TV dramas. In fact, his fame In Chang'an at that time, he was limited to eloquence, and although he made contributions to the translation of Buddhist scriptures, it was not yet known to everyone.

And he is not the younger brother of Tang Wang, Li Shimin has never sworn sworn brothers with him.People of later generations said in the novel "Journey to the West" that Li Shimin advocated Buddhism, which was a kind of compliment to the feudal emperor, and it was regarded as a good wish.In fact, even if Li Shimin pays attention to Buddhism, it is just a gesture, it serves politics, it is a kind of imperial art!
If Li Shimin believed in Buddhism to the point of being obsessed with Xuanzang, believed that sweeping the floor would not hurt the lives of ants, and cherished the moth veil lamp, then he would not be able to kill his elder brother and younger brother and force his father to abdicate.His correct approach should be to sit at home, chant Amitabha, and wait for others to kill him!
Even when Tang Xuanzang came back from Tianzhu, Li Shimin still advised him not to be a monk, but to be a minister for me, and let's govern the country together.Serving for the imperial court and governing the country can lead to glory and wealth, which is no better than being a monk!

Therefore, at the beginning of his accession to the throne, when Tang Xuanzang asked him to travel west to learn Buddhist scriptures, he didn't take it seriously at all, let alone agreed.It is absolutely worthy of recognition that Tang Xuanzang did not go to the West to seek the scriptures under his ardent expectations.

The truth of history is that Tang Xuanzang sneaked out of the pass and went to Tianzhu without any documents. In modern terms, he smuggled there!
Under the reminder of the ministers and eunuchs, Li Shimin finally remembered that there was indeed such a monk in Chang'an ten or twenty years ago, who was quite eloquent.He said: "This Xuanzang pretends to be an envoy from the Tang Dynasty to go to Tianzhu? Does the king of Tianzhu really believe it?"

The eldest grandson Wuji said arrogantly: "My Tang Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, the lord of all nations, even if it is a fake envoy, even a small Tianzhu can treat him like a guest. It's normal!"

The ministers nodded together, that's right, even if we are ordinary little monks in the Tang Dynasty, when they arrive in Fanbang Barbarian Kingdom, they will be promoted immediately and become a great monk at the level of a Zen master!

Li Shimin flipped through the document again, and said: "It said that he was detained, and that the person who detained him was a descendant of King Gaochang. When we destroyed Gaochang, we didn't capture all the people in the royal family of Gaochang. How could there be descendants?"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Your Majesty, since someone can pretend to be an envoy of the Tang Dynasty to go to Tianzhu, then someone will pretend to be a descendant of King Gaochang to improve his stature. I guess he is a bandit leader in the desert, boasting that he is After the Gaochang royal family, it was used to recruit young men!"

Li Shimin snorted, threw the document on the table, and said angrily: "But he dared to demand a ransom of [-] guan from my Tang Dynasty, asking us to redeem Monk Xuanzang, saying that the envoy of the Tang Dynasty was worth the price! It’s just unreasonable, it’s ridiculous!”

Changsun Wuji said: "It's not only ridiculous, it's simply inexplicable!"

Yu Chigong and other generals said: "Don't talk about Babaiguan, there is not even Baguan. It is crazy to dare to ask us for a ransom. We should immediately send troops to suppress the bandits, behead all these robbers, and pass on their heads to others." Everyone, those who dare to oppose our Great Tang court will have no other end except for their heads being different!"

The famous Tang Xuanzang was detained, and the other party only wanted [-] guan. For Wang Ping'an, that was simply unimaginable.
But for the robbers in the bitter cold place outside the Great Wall, it is not unusual to grab goods worth [-] guan, but if they can get [-] guan in cash, that is an astronomical figure!

The copper coins of the Tang Dynasty were the hardest currency in the world at that time. If they arrived in the West, they could not be used for spending, but for collection. A copper plate is worth more than a piece of gold of the same size.Is copper still worth more than gold?But in the west at that time, the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty were worth more than gold, so you can't accept it!
Li Shimin said: "Sending the guards at Yumen Pass to exterminate this group of bandits is a big deal. It's enough to order the local officials to dispatch the county soldiers. Where is the nearest county to Gaochang? Ah..." Before he finished speaking, he thought What state and county is it?

Changsun Wuji's face changed slightly, he had to answer the emperor's question, but he was really reluctant to answer it, because he liked the highest officer of that county very much!

Fang Xuanling said, "It's Zheliu County, which is the place that the emperor granted to Wang Ping'an just now, but the magistrate of Zheliu County... this, this one is not very effective, it is impossible to send troops to suppress the bandits! "

The law and order in Zheliu County is as bad as it needs to be, and bandits are everywhere.The bandit who claimed to be a descendant of the Gaochang royal family was only detaining the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, while the bandit in Zheliu County simply killed the court officials, and the county magistrates died one by one. There are no county magistrates there now, but Yumenguan. The guards are also in charge, but the strength of the concurrent management is not strong, and it is impossible to effectively control the local forces there!
Li Shimin thought for a while, and then said: "Since this is the case, think about the gang of robbers, will there be Turkic people behind them?"

The ministers shook their heads together, but after a short pause, they nodded again emphatically.

If there are Turkic people as backers, it is impossible to detain the wrong messenger. Gaochang people believe in Buddhism and think that monks have high status and can be messengers, but Turkic people don’t think so, and Turkic people have to really put forward conditions. , and it is impossible to ask for only [-] guan, they will directly make territorial claims!
When the emperor asked this question, it was obvious that it didn't matter if the Turks did it or not, as long as it was done by the Turks!
Changsun Wuji immediately said: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. If it is found out that the Turkic people detained that monk...and master Xuanzang, then our Tang Dynasty must send troops to subjugate the Turkic people, and we will never tolerate it! "

Cheng Zhijie jumped up and shouted: "If there is going to be a war, the old minister is willing to go, and kill the Turkic villain and turn his back on his back!"

Li Shimin tapped on the Longshu case with his fingers, and said with a hey sound, "Conquering the Turks, it's not too late to discuss it slowly, this Xuanzang... Master, let's consider him an envoy sent by me!"

The ministers looked stunned, and nodded one after another: "The old ministers have all remembered, there is indeed such a thing, but because the time has passed too long, I didn't remember it in time just now. That Master Xuanzang, isn't it the emperor you?" Send envoys to Tianzhu!"

Li Shimin smiled, and said again: "Speaking of Zheliu County, I thought of Wang Ping'an. How is he doing recently? Will there be any good news? Xia Quqiu is coming, his argumentation has used a lot It's time!"

Changsun Wuji said: "Returning to the emperor, there has been no good news recently, but there has also been no bad news. This shows that the dialectical evidence is progressing smoothly. The emperor can rest assured that it will not be long before the There will be good news to come!"

Shikeng Village.

Another few days passed, the weather gradually turned cold, and people began to change their single clothes and put on jackets.

The scholars and householders under Wang Ping’an’s care did not have any accidents, and their conditions are gradually improving. This shows that smallpox can be prevented after vaccination. If it is not for the purpose of obtaining complete data and carrying out large-scale promotion , then the final conclusion can now be drawn!

Everyone in the village was delighted. They participated in this trial, not only can they save the people all over the world, but they can also get what they want after the trial. This is a great thing that benefits others and self!
But Wang Ping'an was not very happy. He knew that there would be such a result, but the problem was that in the original foolproof result, something happened, and the little slave didn't react. This is a blemish, and it just means that accidents will happen!

But no matter how he took care of that little slave, how much he cared about him, he couldn't find the reason why this little guy was an "accident"!

It is not only Wang Ping'an who cares about the little slaves, but also other imperial physicians. Besides them, there is another person, and that is Brother Jun!
Brother Jun wanted to help Wang Ping'an very much, but Wang Ping'an's identity was there. He was a small person, so how could it be his turn to show courteousness to Wang Ping'an.After finally finding out what troubled Wang Ping'an, how could he let go of the opportunity, so he spied on the little slave secretly every day.

Brother Jun used to be a scout, so he was really good at finding out information. He was peeping in the dark, not to mention that the little slave didn't notice him, even Wang Ping'an and the imperial physicians who came in and out every day didn't even notice him!

One day, after nightfall, Brother Jun sneaked into the village, came outside the house where the little slave lived, quietly went to the window, and looked inside along the crack of the window.

The little slave didn't live alone, but the imperial doctor took turns on duty at night and slept with him so that he could observe the movement nearby.Accompanying him tonight is an old doctor.

Brother Jun suddenly smelled the smell of meat, looked at the window sill inside, and saw a plate of leftover vegetables on the window sill, and there was a half-gnawed goose wing in the plate.

He thought to himself: "This little guy actually eats better than me. If I eat goose every day, with such a wing, I will definitely not have any leftover meat!" Go under the window, lie down on your stomach, come to the corner, turn over the wall, and enter the grove.

Through these few days of observation, he found a pattern, this little slave has the habit of waking up at night, and he doesn't like to have a toilet in the yard, but goes into the small woods, and while toileting, he mutters: wearing something.The previous few times, he was too far away and didn't dare to approach, so he couldn't hear what the little slave was muttering. Tonight, he decided to seize the favorable terrain first, and must find out exactly what the little guy was talking to himself.

The old doctor was getting old, and she would doze off as soon as it got dark, in a daze. Although she didn't sleep well, she kept her eyes closed and was in a daze, and she kept babbling.

The little slave tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep, and tossed and tossed until midnight. When it was almost midnight, he got up and went to the ground, put on his shoes, and opened the door.

The door only creaked, and the old doctor woke up and asked, "What are you doing?"

The little slave said: "The villain is going to the latrine."

The old doctor hummed, turned over on the bed, and said, "Go and come back quickly."

The little slave promised, left the house, and closed the door. As expected, he did not go to the hut at the back of the yard, but went out of the yard and into the woods, just like what Brother Jun observed a few days ago.

Brother Jun hid in a big tree, closed his eyes and rested his mind. He was a scout and knew the importance of patience. Not to mention waiting half a night in a tree, even if he lay down in the grass for a day and a night, He has done this kind of thing!

There was a rustling sound in the distance, someone is coming!

Brother Jun immediately opened his eyes, looked down, and saw the little slave walking slowly with his head down.He held his breath, afraid that the little slave would find him.It just so happened that a big mosquito, who knew how to find the time, bit him on the neck at this time!
Brother Jun didn't dare to move, let the mosquito bite him, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the little slave!
The little slave didn't expect at all that he, a little slave, would be stalked, and he was stalked from a tree.According to the habit he had developed these days, he came to a big tree without any precautions, which was the big tree that Brother Jun was hiding from.

The little slave squatted down, picked up a stone, smiled on his face, scratched the root of the tree with the stone, and then began to mutter, the voice was very small!

Brother Jun pricked up his ears and listened carefully!

I heard the little slave say: "I used to herd cows, I got cowpox, cowpox can't hurt me, cowpox can't hurt me! After leaving the small village, I will be a good family. I want to buy fields, I want to buy cattle, I want to build a big house, I want to marry The second girl of the Tian family..."

Brother Jun listened and almost fell from the tree. No wonder Wang Pingan tried so hard to find out the reason, but he still couldn’t find the reason. It turned out that this little guy had cowpox, so why use him to prove it?Using him as a proof will not yield any results!
After the little slave finished speaking, he stood up, urinated loudly against the tree roots, pulled up his pants after urinating, and said in a low voice, "It's over, I'm done urinating, I feel comfortable!"

For a person who must keep a certain secret, even an adult, the psychological pressure is great. They will often find a place where no one is around, or tell their secrets to strangers who have no chance to betray themselves. One of the jobs of the psychiatrist is to guide the patient to speak.Adults are like this, let alone this child, he doesn't understand what stress is, but he understands that as long as he tells his secrets to the tree roots every night, and then pees, he will feel much more comfortable, After going back, I can sleep soundly!
The little slave was about to leave when he suddenly heard a soft slap on the tree. When he looked up, he saw a ghost-like head protruding from the tree upside down!
