The emperor immediately put away his sorrow and his face turned serious, "It doesn't hurt anymore. It's just that my body doesn't feel good, and my heart feels even more uncomfortable."
He said: "Whenever I think of my beloved's illness, I can't eat anything, and I wish I could take my place in my body."
Wei Zhi knew in his heart that this was just the emperor's sweet words, but he was still a little moved, so he stopped trying to pretend to have a stomachache.
However, the emperor had already glanced at Zhou Man, and Man Bao immediately said alertly: "The heat will cause a loss of appetite, which will then affect the gastrointestinal tract. Abdominal pain is also an occasional symptom."
The emperor was satisfied. Wei Zhi had decided to let the matter go, so naturally he would not hold on to it any longer, so he nodded slightly.
After dinner, the emperor pointed to Wei Zhi and Zhou Man and said, "Zhou Qing and Mr. Wei, please go back and give Mr. Wei a good look."
Man Bao agreed, stood up, picked up the medicine box and said, "Your Majesty, at Shen Shi, your ministers will come to give you medicine and moxibustion."
Wei Zhi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and after following Zhou Man out, he asked, "Is your Majesty really sick?"
Man Bao nodded, "Master Wei, am I the kind of person who talks nonsense?"
Wei Zhi did not make a conclusion. He glanced back and saw Bai Shan also quitting. He smiled and said, "We just had lunch. You should go back and rest first."
Manbao thought the same way, "I'll give you an injection in half an hour."
Seeing that she didn't understand what he meant, Wei Zhi was about to explain, but Man Bao had already said: "Sir Wei, I am here to see a doctor according to the order. You must not hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. Otherwise, not only will it be difficult for me to explain to Your Majesty, but how will you advise him in the future?"
Where is the emperor?"
Wei Zhi said no more and took the lead to go down the mountain.
Man Bao and Bai Shan followed.
Bai Shan reached out and took the medicine box from Man Bao's hand, and carried it down side by side with her. The longevity palace was not very far from where they lived, and they could walk through a mountain road and turn into a group of courtyards.
Man Bao and Mr. Wei lived not far apart, separated by two yards.
To prevent him from going back on his word, Manbao followed him directly into his residence without even returning to his own yard.
Wei Zhi looked helpless and could only follow the couple in.
He didn't bring his family here. Well, Wei Yu was his youngest son, so he came, but he was living in another palace with Princess Changyu.
When the old servant serving Wei Zhi saw that the master had brought the guests back, he immediately called for someone to cook. Wei Zhi stopped him and said, "We all ate up there. There is no need to cook anymore. Let's make a pot of tea."
The old servant responded and went to make tea.
After entering the room, Wei Zhi sat on a chair, asked the two of them to sit down, rolled up his sleeves and asked Zhou Man, "Look now?"
In fact, there was no need to look anymore. Man Bao already knew it. She came here to discuss with Wei Zhi the next treatment method and to give him a set of needles.
But it was rare to see him be so cooperative, so Man Bao didn't mind taking his pulse again. It would also be good to talk about his condition while taking his pulse.
Man Bao Ba La Ba La said a lot, but Wei Zhi only said one sentence after pondering, "I only have two days of vacation."
Manbao:……
She didn't quite understand, "Why does Mr. Wei not cherish his body so much? Isn't it bad to live?"
Looking at Zhou Man who was a little confused, Wei Zhi knew that her words were not to refute him, but that she was truly curious, so he smiled and said: "It's good to be alive, but it also depends on how you live."
He said: "I can't leave the court for the time being. I can live here for one month, but after I resign, I can live for ten years."
Manbao said nothing.
He withdrew his hand and said: "You will use the decoction for the next two days. I will ask Xiao Yuanzheng to prepare honey pills for you. First, take one injection every three days. However, you must also pay attention to rest and don't be too nervous."
Wei Zhi smiled and nodded.
Manbao prescribed the medicine, but did not give it to Wei Zhi. The medicine had to be obtained at Tai Hospital anyway, so she only showed it to him once.
Man Bao returned to Tai Hospital with the prescription, handed the prescription to Doctor Assistant Duan, and asked him to grab the medicine and deliver it to Wei Zhi, and then returned to his hospital with Bai Shan.
Bai Shan took her hand and shook it, comforting her and saying, "Master Wei is not sad, so why are you even more sad?"
"Doctors will always be sad and angry when they see patients not caring about their bodies."
Bai Shan said, "You are the patient's doctor, and Mr. Wei is the doctor of the Jin Dynasty. You will know why he refuses to recuperate if you use yourself to treat others."
Man Bao frowned, "There are many capable ministers in the court."
"There are many capable ministers in the court, but there is only one Lord Wei." Bai Shandao said: "If you think about it seriously, there is only one prime minister in the court, Lord Wei. The chief officials of Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province are both vacant.
If the official becomes vacant, there will be many people in the court vying for this position."
Whoever serves as an official in the dynasty does not want to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister?
Especially for civil servants, their lifelong pursuit is to worship the prime minister.
Man Bao frowned and said, "With His Majesty here, there won't be any chaos, right?"
"It's not that there will be chaos, but the person who takes over may not have the tacit understanding between Mr. Wei and His Majesty. Moreover," Bai Shan paused and said: "Among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, Wei is the only one who dares to face His Majesty's anger and persist in admonishing him.
It’s just one adult.”
Even if the emperor made a mistake, the ministers would impeach them. Everyone seemed to be honest and honest, but that was because they knew that Wei Zhi was there. Even if what they impeached was not right, the emperor could not do anything to them. Wei Zhi would not allow it.
If the emperor accuses officials of speaking out, this will make the officials in the court feel jealous and cut off the way to speak out.
"If it weren't for Mr. Wei and His Majesty got angry, they would probably take advantage of the situation and accept the advice. After one or two times, Your Majesty would only have nothing to fear."
Bai Shan has been with the emperor for more than a year. The most common thing he does every day, besides giving information to the emperor, is to sit with him and watch the discussions between the emperor and the ministers, and take notes from time to time for the emperor's inquiry.
He may not understand the attitude of the ministers as well as the emperor, but he must look at them more carefully and comprehensively than ordinary ministers.
Moreover, "No one understands his political intentions better than himself," Bai Shan lowered his voice and said: "Master Wei must still have many things he wants to do in his heart, and he will not think of leaving until those things are done.
For the court."
Man Bao said: "He won't have that time."
The operation of the country cannot be changed overnight, nor can it be accomplished in one or two years. With Wei Zhi's physical condition, if he continues to work so uncontrollably, he will not live a good life for a few years.
Bai Shan sighed and said, "But it's better than leaving directly. Moreover, Da Jin really can't do without Mr. Wei at this time."
The emperor also told the queen the same thing, and sighed: "Wei Qing quietly discussed with me some time ago about reforming the salt tax, and wanted to implement it slowly, but I didn't expect that he would be seriously ill now."
"If the salt tax is to be reformed, it won't be effective within three to five years. I...can't do without him."
The queen asked softly: "Who in the court can replace him?"
The emperor shook his head, "No one can replace you."
People with Wei Zhi's character don't have his ability, and people with his ability don't have his character and prestige, so he has to do this.
