Man Bao saw them arguing and quickly stopped between them, "Okay, stop arguing. You are still brothers. Bai Er, you must want to copy your homework again. Be careful, I will tell the teacher to punish you."
Bai Er was shocked, pointed at her and said: "You, you are partial! It's all your junior brother, and I'm injured. You don't comfort me, but you stand on his side."
Man Bao glanced at his finger and felt that it was a little miserable, mainly because it was winter, and it must be very painful, so he said: "I will apply medicine to you later."
Bai Shan said: "Give it to me, let me, my senior brother, love him well."
Bai Erlang, who was still holding his finger up, started to tremble slightly, not willing to let Bai Shan take advantage of it.
When Yin You was full, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Let me do it. Do you have any medicine on you?"
Keke had it there, but Manbao thought about it and shook his head, "I'll go back and get it later."
After eating, Man Bao took the three of them to get medicine while asking Bai Erlang, "How old are you and still copying your homework?"
Bai Erlang insisted: "I am not copying, I just have a look so I can know how it is written."
"You have been reading for two quarters of an hour, and I can see that you are about to copy it. You even asked Yin or how to change the sentence so that it doesn't look like it was copied."
Manbao looked at Yin You.
Yin or nodded.
Bai Erlang stopped defending and just sighed sadly.
Man Bao said to Bai Shan, "You should give him extra lessons before going to bed at night."
Bai Shan nodded.
Bai Erlang's face became even more bitter.
But no matter how bitter his face is, he is not as bitter as those from aristocratic families.
On November 15th, when Man Bao sat in his seat again at the Great Court Meeting, Dali Temple made a verdict on the Xu Yu case and made a report at the Great Court Meeting.
Yang Rong and Yu Shui were identified as the culprits. Although he did not admit it and although the evidence was not very sufficient, he was still considered to be aware of and involved in it.
Of course, because he refused to admit it and did not have sufficient evidence, he was only sentenced to exile and his property was confiscated.
In addition, although the details of the search in the palace failed to find the gang leaders, they found some important figures they had connections with outside the palace. Dali Temple will continue to pursue them.
At first, Man Bao felt that the sentence was too light and that it was completely confusing.
Just when I was wondering if the prince would get angry, I remembered that the prince was not in the palace.
So after retreating from the court, I could only walk out low-key with my head hanging down, pretending that I had nothing to do with this matter.
With her backer gone, she felt a little more modest.
But she soon learned from various channels that the sentence was not light at all, because the Ministry of Revenue was busy at the end of the year, and all the talented people from Chongwen Hall, including Bai Shan, were seconded to the Ministry of Revenue.
A lot of things were confiscated and needed to be registered. The Ministry of Household Affairs did not have enough manpower and they were very busy.
So when everyone went back to Chongwen Hall to meet in the evening, several people told Man Bao, "This time Dali Temple and the Ministry of Revenue used excuses to seize a lot of land and real estate. Not to mention Yang Rong's family, there are also many other families."
Bai Shandao: "They are all in good positions, or there are some Zhuangzi, but Dali Temple made excuses and then the Ministry of Revenue confiscated them."
He shook his head and said: "Although we only do some documents for recording in the Ministry of Revenue, I see that the people who were confiscated by the Ministry of Revenue have a lot of trouble with them, and they are very resentful. I guess they won't be able to copy them for long."
The new dynasty had only been established for about twenty years, and the bandit spirit in everyone had not yet dissipated. Ministers would quarrel in the court, let alone outside.
As a result, Bai Shan came back happily within two days and quietly told her, "The Ministry of Revenue confiscated a lot of things from Yang Rong's house, not only a lot of farm property, but also the salt fields and forest farms they set up in the Jiangnan area."
Man Bao was confused, "Forget about the fields and salt fields, shouldn't the mountains and forests belong to the imperial court?"
"They bought a lot of forests from the local government. I heard that they specifically looked for ancient trees that are over a hundred years old, which are very valuable." Bai Shan now understood what Yang Heshu meant by giving him those things, and he whispered
Said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs has collected so many new things, and the national treasury will definitely be full next year. Didn't you complain last time that it would be difficult to get the money to build the local medical office from the Ministry of Household Affairs after Senior Brother Yang left? That's good now.
Now, with this money, it will be much easier to convince the Ministry of Accounts to give us money."
Man Bao's eyes brightened and he began to think deeply, "Senior Brother Yang is really knowledgeable about everything. It's too unfair for him to go to Xiazhou like this."
Bai Shan asked: "What do you want?"
Man Bao said: "It's a pity that the emperor has not been sick recently, otherwise I could recommend Senior Brother Yang to him when I go to treat him."
As soon as she said this, a chamberlain from the Taiji Palace came to invite her early the next morning, "Your Majesty, please ask Dr. Zhou to come over."
Man Bao's heart tightened, subconsciously thinking that the emperor knew what she and Bai Shan said yesterday, and he came to settle accounts with her.
As a result, she was about to leave with the chambermaid anxiously, but the chamberlain looked at her with a puzzled expression on her face, "Doesn't Dr. Zhou bring a medicine box?"
Man Bao reacted, immediately ran to pick up the medicine box, and then asked: "Your Majesty is sick?"
The emperor's physical condition cannot be inquired casually, but Zhou Man is an imperial physician, and this is one of her responsibilities. Besides, she has to go to see the emperor, so the chamberlain responded: "Yes, I am not feeling well today."
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, it was not just a matter of settling accounts with her.
As for why she said she expected the emperor to get sick the night before, and the emperor fell ill the next day, Man Bao didn't want to think about it at all.
The weather is so cold, and people eat whole grains. Isn’t it normal for people to feel cold or hot and get sick?
Man Bao took the medicine box and ran to Tai Chi Hall to see the emperor.
The emperor was still working normally in the study, but sniffed from time to time, obviously infected with the cold.
It's not very serious, and it's not time to rest. And since the emperor was seriously ill last time without paying attention, he didn't dare to be too negligent about such minor illnesses and pains.
So as soon as he felt unwell, he sent someone to the imperial hospital to call for help. However, he thought that calling him Xiao Yuanzheng would be too alarming, and he was not used to calling other doctors for such a minor illness, so he sent someone to call for Zhou Man.
Man Bao saluted the emperor and then asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to see a doctor now?"
The emperor thought for a while and didn't really want to criticize the book, so he put down his pen and walked to the couch behind the screen to sit down and let her see a doctor. Man Bao immediately followed him happily carrying the medicine box.
The emperor took the initiative to roll up a sleeve and put his hand on the pulse table. He always felt that Zhou Man was too happy and couldn't help but ask: "What happy event is this?"
Man Bao shook his head.
The emperor asked: "Then why are you happy?"
Man Bao calmed his expression and said: "No, Your Majesty, I am still feeling distressed and worried about your illness. How can I be happy?"
The emperor just looked at her face and said nothing. Even though she thought she had calmed down her expression, in the emperor's eyes, what could a child of this age hide?
He usually didn't want to pay attention, but when he paid attention, the emperor saw the happiness that could not be concealed in her eyebrows.
Gu Zhong brought the tea and asked with a smile: "Is it possible that Imperial Physician Zhou was happy to see the emperor's face?"
Man Bao immediately nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I just saw His Majesty happy."
