Xiao Yuanzheng thought about it carefully and found that it really wouldn't happen.
The two looked at each other, neither of them understanding what the emperor meant.
But... Xiao Yuan slapped the signed official document in front of Zhou Man, "I've signed it for you. Take it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to sign it and file it. Don't think about these things. We are doctors. As long as they are cured,
It’s okay to be sick.”
If they could figure out what the emperor was thinking, wouldn't they also be able to become emperors?
So don’t think about things you don’t understand, and don’t think about things that don’t suit your identity.
Just after thinking this, Zhou Man lowered his voice and said: "Last question, Xiao Yuanzheng, do you think that His Majesty actually doesn't believe that Monk Tianzhu really lived for two hundred years?"
Xiao Yuanzheng forgot what he had just said, and began to think deeply. After a while, he nodded and said: "Your Majesty must be suspicious."
"You dare to eat the elixir he refined if you doubt it?"
"Although it is suspected that he did not live to two hundred years, it is true that he lived a long life," Xiao Yuanzheng, who has served the emperor for a longer time and knows the emperor better, whispered: "Your Majesty has a broad mind and often does not look at people's faults.
, only look at that person’s benefits and usefulness.”
"Even if Naluo'er lied about his life span, given his appearance and experience, longevity is certain. Since he can live a long life, he has experience in health preservation. And what His Majesty wants is to prolong his life. He
If he has something that His Majesty wants, Your Majesty will naturally tolerate him."
Zhou Man sighed: "Your Majesty deserves to be the emperor, but I can't. I must have revenge."
Xiao Yuan just didn't want to chat with her anymore, so he waved his hand and said: "Let's go quickly, let's go quickly. Didn't His Majesty ask you to explore the method of detoxification? Leave the rest to me first. You can handle this matter first."
Zhou Man took the official document and went to the Ministry of Personnel to complete the formalities.
The person from the Ministry of Personnel who handled Zhou Man's entry formalities kept saying congratulations from the moment he saw her, "Mr. Zhou now holds three positions, and her position is not low."
Zhou Man said modestly: "It's not as good as the elders in the court. Some of them even govern two or three states and counties."
Like Zhou Man, there are a lot of officials in the court who hold multiple positions, but...
The official murmured in his heart: But whose position is like Zhou Man's, which takes up all the three major benefits of being an official.
To serve as an official in the court, for the people, for the king, for profit, and for fame.
Zhou Man was appointed editor of the Chongwen Hall, and was extremely noble and famous. The Imperial Hospital was directly under the emperor, and Zhou Man was labeled as the prince, but the emperor trusted her very much, so Jian was in the emperor's heart. In the past two years, the Imperial Medical Office has been affected by the profits from the pharmacy.
, many positions have become more lucrative and beneficial...
It can be said that these three positions of hers are very crucial. She has taken all the fame and fortune. Most of the part-time jobs held by others are false positions. Even if they have real jobs, they will not be such a good match.
The official completed the formalities and handed the receipt to Zhou Man, "Okay, congratulations to Mr. Zhou."
Officials in the same office also stood up and congratulated Zhou Man.
Zhou Man smiled and thanked him, and an official then asked, "Master Zhou has been promoted, do you want to have a banquet at home?"
How could she hold a banquet when the emperor was in such a situation? And she didn't have time, so Zhou Man smiled and shook his head, "No need to bother, I'll treat my colleagues to a drink when I have time."
Everyone expressed their understanding and watched Zhou Man leave.
"At such an age and with such official status, it can't be compared to it, it can't be compared to it."
"You can do it if you have that kind of ability. Don't you know? I heard that Mr. Zhou just entered the capital yesterday and went to the palace to report on his duties. He happened to meet the man from Changsheng Temple who offered the elixir. In a few words, he persuaded His Majesty not to stop.
After taking the elixir, the expensive elixir was in her hands in a blink of an eye."
"So many great people in the court came forward to persuade His Majesty, but to no avail. She was the only one who convinced His Majesty. She is no less capable than Duke Wei back then."
"This is too much praise. How can she be compared with Duke Wei?"
"Okay, okay, stop talking about these things. The palace has not finalized the matter at Changsheng Temple, so you should stop getting involved."
"Everyone can discuss all state affairs, why can't we speak out?"
"That is, Duke Wei allowed us to speak freely when he was here, and His Majesty did not stop us. What are you doing now that you keep blocking us?"
Zhou Man was completely unaware of the discussions behind her. She stood on the avenue of the imperial city with her hands folded and thought for a moment, then turned around and grabbed a passing official, "Excuse me, how do I get to the Changsheng Temple?"
The official glanced at Zhou Man, pointed in a direction and said: "It's not out of the Imperial City, it's in the northeast corner of the Imperial City. Mr. Zhou, follow this road to the last intersection and then turn left. Go to the end."
Zhou Man stood on tiptoes and stretched her neck to see. She felt that it was too far. She was in the middle of the imperial city, and it would be a long way to reach the northeast corner.
So she thanked the official, turned back to the palace gate, and waved to Daji, "Let's go to Changsheng Temple."
Changsheng Temple was originally an empty courtyard belonging to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. After Master Naluo'er came, the emperor ordered it to be converted into a temple and named Changsheng Temple.
For this reason, not only were several Buddha statues set up in the courtyard for worship, but the gate and courtyard were also renovated at a great cost.
I heard that they are planning to renovate the entire courtyard, building from the backyard to the front, knocking it down and building it in the style of a temple. It will cost a lot. The Ministry of Works has taken over the work and is making preparations, and has even allocated funds.
This was also one of the reasons why all the officials in the court were disgusted with Naluo. The cost of building the temple was too high, and with the furnishings and Buddha statues inside, it was no less expensive than renovating a palace.
The Daming Palace has not been built yet.
I don’t know if it was affected by yesterday’s lunch, but the Ministry of Industry did not send anyone to continue measuring today. The door was also deserted.
However, the temples built in the imperial city were not very popular. Apart from the clan, only officials and their families would come in to burn incense and pray to the Buddha.
But whoever has nothing to do comes to pray to God and worship Buddha every day, so there are not many people here.
Zhou Man helped Daji get out of the car, first looked up at the plaque of Changsheng Temple, and then stepped in.
A young monk came to greet him. When he saw Zhou Man, he was stunned for a while before he came forward and said, "Young monk pays homage to Master Zhou."
Zhou Man was surprised, "Do you still recognize me?"
The little novice monk glanced at Zhou Man's official uniform and said with a smile: "Master Zhou is the only woman in the entire dynasty who can wear dark crimson official robes."
Zhou Man looked down at his official robe and smiled, "I was negligent. I should have come to visit in casual clothes. Is Master Luo Er here? Please let me know."
"Sir, please wait a moment." The little novice monk turned around and hurried to the back to report.
Master Na Luo'er was meditating. When he heard that Zhou Man was coming, he opened his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Please come to the lobby in the backyard."
"yes."
When Zhou Man arrived at the lobby, Master Luo You had already made tea and was waiting. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, please take a seat."
