Chapter 401: A mouse acts as a bridesmaid for a cat, this world is too crazy
"Save... Empress, save me..."
In the inner house of Duke Zhou's mansion, Wu Yanji was hanging on a rope, screaming in pain.
Wu Chengsi's wife watched for a long time before letting the servant put him down. Looking at the child's miserable appearance, he sighed: "Since ancient times, the truth has hurt people's hearts. You have broken your Aye's heart."
Already."
With the support of two servants, Wu Yanji stood tremblingly for a while, and then his legs stopped shaking, but he said heartlessly: "I'll give Aye a beating to make him give up.
We are already hereditary first-class Dukes, why are we still bothering with them? The Queen Mother looks down on us, but she wants to join us..."
Wu Chengsi's wife shook her head repeatedly: "You are so young, how can you be so lazy?"
Wu Yanji sneered and did not argue. When he saw a head sticking out not far away, he couldn't help but call out: "Second Uncle!"
Wu Sansi walked over cautiously: "Has the inner guard come? Brother, will he be okay?"
Although it was a question, Wu Sansi's face was full of affirmation. Wu Yanji was confused just now, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Father won't be stripped of his title, right?"
His mother couldn't hear such filial words and left shaking her head. Wu Yanji pulled Wu Sansi: "Second uncle, if my father passes away, you will be the pillar of the family. You must go to the front hall to see it."
!”
Wu Sansi suddenly changed his color and broke away from his hand: "If you inherit the position of Duke of Zhou in the future, you should be the one to come forward and deal with the inner guards!"
"You are an elder!"
"You are the heir!"
Just as the two of them were immersed in Kong Rong Rangli's humility, Wu Youning's younger brother Wu Youji (ji) appeared and said with an expression of disbelief: "I just saw the eldest brother following Li Yuanfang, as if he wanted to talk to his wife.
Let’s go together with Wei to investigate the case!”
Wu Sansi and Wu Yanji said in unison: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Even though he said this, one by one, the Wu family disciples came to the front yard, peeked their heads out from the corner, and found that Wu Chengsi was really willing to leave with Li Yuanfang.
A mouse acts as a bridesmaid for a cat, this world is so crazy!
Wu Chengsi noticed his gaze and raised the corner of his mouth. He also studied hard. His teacher taught him a saying before, saying that a sparrow can only know the ambition of a swan. Now he can apply it to himself and this group of incompetent Wu family members.
On your body!
Guo Yuanzhen secretly observed him with a strange smile, but Li Yan didn't care at all.
In his eyes, both the Wu family and Zhou Guogong are characters who provide clues.
Since there is this indirect participant in the past, it is natural to follow the clues from him and continue to dig out the truth.
"Let's go to Shang Yao Bureau."
The three of them rode towards the imperial city.
After entering the Imperial City, go directly to Shang Yao Bureau.
Not long after, Chen Yuyi, who had collaborated in the case of the Immortal Dream, came out and said, "Leader Li Ge... Zhou Guogong?"
What kind of weird combination is this?
Fortunately, the doubts described by Li Yan made him quickly shift his attention and thought for a while: "Practicing medicine in Lingnan can also alleviate the illness of Zhou Guogong's father. If it is not the medicine of tiger and wolf, the medical skills are indeed superb, but
I have never heard of such a healer."
Wu Chengsi glared and said, "That's not a small statement. There are so many prefectures and counties in the world, how can you even know the famous local doctors?"
Chen Yuyi was not afraid of him and explained calmly: "There are countless doctors in the world, and they all have to make achievements in medicine. Once they are famous in a state or county, they will be recommended by the governor to come to the two capitals to exchange medical experience. I am in Taipei."
The hospital has been here for more than 20 years, but I have not heard of any doctors practicing medicine in Lingnan all year round."
Li Yan nodded: "In this case, the possibility of a regular healer is unlikely..."
The most fair thing between the Nine-Five Emperor and the common people is that they are all subject to illness and death. Many common people suffer from diseases that the emperor is not exempt from. A fierce man like Li Shimin may also die of illness because of persistent diarrhea. Naturally, he would like to have medical skills in the world.
Excellent people can gather in Taiyuan Hospital.
The imperial power can indeed attract many doctors. Even Sun Simiao, who has been living in Chang'an before, and his direct disciple Liu Shenwei, has also been working in Shang Yao Bureau.
Respect the saint.
Of course, it is extremely difficult to persuade Sun Simiao to concentrate on compiling medical skills to benefit future generations. Under normal circumstances, as long as he is famous in the local area, the county government will pay attention to it, and the county magistrate and even the governor will report it to the central government, and Chen Yuyi will indeed understand.
Wu Chengsi was not convinced: "Perhaps he is someone who doesn't value his reputation, lives in seclusion in the mountains, and occasionally comes out to practice medicine!"
Dr. Chen was a little helpless: "To practice medicine, you must accumulate a lot of experience. You can't become a famous doctor by living in seclusion in the mountains, and you can't be called a doctor if you work behind closed doors."
Li Yan's brows moved slightly, thinking of the superb medical skills of the previous generation of "Zuoming", and asked: "According to Imperial Physician Chen, are there any major families who have studied medicine for generations?"
Dr. Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The status of doctors is not high. Although we have the desire to help the world, we still seek an official position in the end. There are high-ranking noble families and families of military generals in the world, but there is no heirloom of medical knowledge..."
This is very realistic. The social status of doctors in ancient times was not high. Even Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor, was ashamed of his status as a doctor and often wanted to become an official. He was later killed by Cao Cao. It was also for this reason that he was extremely suspicious.
The serious Cao Cao mistakenly thought that Hua Tuo had taken a political stand.
In the early Tang Dynasty, there was no record of a medical family. However, in the Ming Dynasty, the great-grandfather of Tan Yunxian, a female doctor, was both famous for his medical skills. When Tan Yunxian's fathers entered politics, the Tan family no longer practiced medicine. Fortunately, the family's academic origins still had a profound influence.
Talking about Yun Xian, she became a famous female doctor, but it was a pity that it was ruined by later TV series. She practiced medicine all her life, wrote books and made great contributions. In the eyes of some people, it seems that she must fall in love with the emperor to be considered powerful.
…
"Since there is no medical family, who did Zuoming learn his superb medical skills from?"
"Master or family?"
Uncle Ya didn't show any ability in medical skills. Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and was more curious about which family "Zuoming" came from. Then he calmed down and said, "Thank you, Imperial Doctor Chen."
Dr. Chen returned the courtesy and his eyes moved again: "Leader Li, I need to add something. What I know is only the doctors of the Tang Dynasty. If they are people from foreign countries, I don't know."
"Huh?"
After he finished speaking, Wu Chengsi suddenly let out a light sigh and tilted his head to think.
Guo Yuanzhen's eyes lit up: "Does the doctor have exotic features?"
Wu Chengsi nodded slowly, then shook his head slowly: "It seems that there was some impression that at that time, my mother did not want the doctor to treat my father because of concerns, but I really can't remember whether it was because of the alien appearance...
…”
Guo Yuanzhen sighed, feeling tired. After Li Yan sent Dr. Chen away, he began to guide: "Don't think about the specific appearance. It's really hard to recall that time after so many years. Now my mind is empty and I only think about the accent. You
Do you have the slightest impression of the accent of that wandering doctor?"
Wu Chengsi's head was already quite empty, but it soon became even more empty. After thinking for a long time, his brows moved slightly: "You said it, I did remember something. The voice of that person's voice really didn't sound like mine.
People from the Tang Dynasty are quite weird."
Li Yandao: "Each ethnic group speaks different languages. If you learn Tang Dynasty Mandarin, you will inevitably have the original accent. This clue is very important... Let's go to the Ministry of Rites!"
After that, he strode out, followed by Guo Yuanzhen and Wu Chengsi. The three of them left Shang Yao Bureau and immediately headed to Shangshu Province.
The Six Ministries belong to the Shangshu Province. Except for the South Court of the Ministry of Rites and the Selected Court of the Ministry of Personnel, they are all inside the Shangshu Province. It is already afternoon, and most of the officials of the Six Ministries have already gone off work, with a few remaining behind.
"Leader Li Ge!... Duke Zhou?"
Seeing Li Yan walking in, the officials perked up and hurried forward to salute. Seeing Wu Chengsi following behind, their expressions changed slightly. They wanted to avoid him but it was too late. They felt very uncomfortable.
Wu Chengsi's face darkened. He felt that he had not done anything evil. At most, he only glanced at his fateful wife a few times before, but now that he had become such a notorious person, he felt deeply aggrieved and wanted to make progress.
Just as he was secretly clenching his fists, he heard hearty laughter coming from in front of him: "What brought Li Getie to our rites department! Hey... Zhou Guogong?"
But it was Miao Shenke who came over.
He is now a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the five subjects of the tribute examination. Since his name was lost in the imperial examination, his prestige has skyrocketed, so he is naturally more grateful to Li Yan for his cultivation.
Li Yan did come looking for him because he knew that these Beimen bachelors who came from poor families worked overtime every day. After roughly explaining the situation: "I hope to find a few officials from the Ministry of Rites who are proficient in the languages of various ethnic groups."
Miao Shenke smiled and said: "This is easy to handle, I will arrange it right away."
Arrangements were made immediately, and in just two quarters of an hour, three officials from the Ministry of Etiquette arrived in front of him and saluted respectfully.
Miao Shenke said: "They are proficient in the languages of Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Gaochang and other places. They usually communicate with envoys from various countries."
There are no professional teaching materials in this era, and it is not easy to be proficient in foreign languages. If you are proficient in multiple languages, you will be a language genius. Li Yan said with satisfaction: "You are now imitating the emphasis of foreigners speaking Tang Mandarin, and talking to Zhou Guogong one by one.
, can it be done?”
The official of the Ministry of Rites nodded immediately, obviously very relaxed, but looked at Wu Chengsi with a faint resistance, as if he was afraid of having a relationship with him. After calming down, he began to talk.
The first one was to imitate the Turks in speaking Tang Dynasty Mandarin. Li Yan often heard this lame way of speaking in Liangzhou. He smiled slightly and felt a little nostalgic, but Wu Chengsi was very confused.
The second one was to imitate the Tubo people and speak Tang Mandarin, but Wu Chengsi still had no reaction.
Then there are Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Khotan, Shule...
There were some small countries in the Western Regions that even Li Yan had never heard of, and they were obviously not recorded in the history books, but they also had their own unique language, and these officials from the Ministry of Rites were able to imitate them very well.
But Wu Chengsi still shook his head.
When one of the officials from the Ministry of Rites met, he suddenly began to change his geographical direction and language habits. This time, Wu Chengsi's expression changed slightly.
Seeing that it was effective, he changed two types in succession. When he got to the third type, Wu Chengsi's dusty memory was suddenly aroused and he screamed: "Just like this, this is how the wandering doctor talked!"
Li Yan's eyes narrowed: "Which country's pronunciation habit is this when they speak my Tang Dynasty Mandarin?"
The official of the Ministry of Etiquette was in a good mood. He suppressed his excitement and replied: "I'll report it to Li Ge, this is the speech habit of Silla."
