From the end of November in the fifth year of Wude, the name Li Shan became famous in Shandong, Hebei and Chang'an. Everyone knew about it, including the saint Li Yuan, the prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qin Li Shimin and the prime minister in the court, as well as all the aristocratic families in the north.
Thanks to Li Kai, Wang Renbiao, Zhang Wenguan and other friends, while Li Shan became famous in Chang'an, he also wore various masks.
Seeing the Turks slaughtering villages, they were so angry that they came to help. This is righteousness.
In front of tens of thousands of troops, the king of Huaiyang was replaced and he urged the Turks to return north. They were both wise and brave.
He helped Tian Liu'an, the general manager of Weizhou, to defend Guantao, and also planned to defeat Liu Heitao. This was the behavior of a counselor in this era.
In Tiance Mansion, Ling Jing sighed. He arrived in Chang'an last year and had a secret discussion on the first day. Li Shan repeatedly agreed... Be quiet and cause less trouble.
But Ling Jing did not expect that two months later, the name Li Shan would spread throughout the world with the song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River".
He glanced at the official document on the table. It was an official document sent by Chu Suiliang requesting funds. Most of the bachelors in Hongwen Hall were not greedy for money... But in this era, reading has always been the exclusive preserve of the upper class. Pens, inks, paper and inkstones are not the only ones.
Need to spend money?
Moreover, the ones used by those in the Hongwen Hall are all top-notch ones... they may not be easy to use, but they are definitely expensive. Li Shimin is quite tolerant of this, wishing they would use the expensive ones to build up his reputation as a courteous and virtuous corporal.
Ling Jing signed his name, stamped it, and said with a smile: "If you have time someday, please leave a message."
Twenty-six-year-old Chu Suiliang is the owner of Hongwen Hall and manages daily affairs. He was a little surprised when he heard these words. He bowed and saluted, "I don't dare to praise Ling Gong."
Fang Xuanling on the side has been in Tiance Mansion for the past two days and asked with a smile: "Does Mr. Ling know how to write well?"
Ling Jing laughed and said: "Although Huairen is not good at calligraphy, he said that after thousands of years, Deng Shan will not let Wang Youjun be as beautiful as before."
This is an unparalleled praise...Wang Youjun is Wang Xizhi.
Chu Suiliang kept being humble, but Fang Xuanling didn't care about it. He just tried his best to say a few words, and waited for the former to go out before saying: "I have had some free time these past two days and wandered around the shop. I heard some gossip."
"Who is Xuan Ling?" Ling Jing smiled and shook his head, "One day he will be a pillar of the imperial court..."
Halfway through, Ling Jing stopped talking. He saw that there was no smile on Fang Xuanling's face. After a brief pause, the former asked in a low voice: "Is it related to Huairen?"
"Yes." Fang Xuanling nodded slightly, "There are rumors that Huairen has the ability to heal the bones of the living dead..."
Ling Jing breathed a sigh of relief, "On that day, Su's mother was hit by an arrow, and Huairen opened the chest with a dagger... It's not an exaggeration to praise the living dead for healing the bones."
"If he hadn't had this ability, the Duke of Dao would not have allowed him to set up a wounded military camp in Guantao."
Fang Xuanling whispered: "In the Jinshi department, Huairen is the only one who has not yet been elected to the civil service department."
"Sima Tiance Mansion is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Huairen is willing to retreat." Ling Jing replied immediately.
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but laugh, "I have heard for a long time that Ling Gong knows the current situation. He is sharp in seeing things and knows the art of war."
Ling Jing also smiled... What he just said was both offensive and defensive.
It was pointed out that Feng Lun, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, once let Li Shan fail the examination and backed away... This is not modesty.
Chong'er went into exile abroad and was taken in by the King of Chu. He promised to fight against him one day and was willing to retreat... As a result, Chong'er actually retreated for ninety miles, then concentrated his forces and defeated the Chu army. This was the famous Battle of Chengpu in history.
Li Shan's behavior does show similar character traits. Changlepo and Shandong both took the initiative to retreat and then counterattacked.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Xuanling leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice: "I know that Huairen has not yet been selected for the test, which is really difficult..."
After hearing these words, Ling Jing's eyes flickered. Could it be that King Qin told Fang Xuanling about Li Shan's life experience?
But then, Fang Xuanling continued: "Although I don't know the inside story, now...it is rumored that Huairen is Sun Simiao's disciple?"
Ling Jing snorted, this...this...seems like Li Shan was talking nonsense when he interrogated the prisoners that day, right?
During the Wude period, Sun Simiao was quite famous in Guanzhong and Hedong areas. In fact, he became famous during the Kaihuang period. Yang Jian once called him to join the court as an official, but Sun Simiao refused and lived in seclusion in Taibai Mountain and Zhongnan Mountain.
Looking at Ling Jing's expression, Fang Xuanling almost knew the answer, and said with a wry smile: "The Imperial Medical Office intends to call Huairen in."
Half an hour later, Ling Jing knocked on the door of the greenhouse in the backyard of Li's house.
"Are you kidding me?" Li Shan was confused, "The Imperial Medical Office?"
"A doctor who specializes in treating the royal family?"
"The Imperial Medical Office was founded by the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. It was originally a sect, but now it is affiliated with Taichang Temple." Ling Jing explained: "Although it provides diagnosis and treatment to dignitaries, it is mainly responsible for teaching medical skills. It is similar to the Imperial College. It is assessed by subject, promotion, demotion, and retention.
There are rules for withdrawal.”
Li Shan was very interested. This was completely different from the Imperial Hospital in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but a bit like the medical universities of later generations. "How many people are there in the Imperial Medical Office now?"
"About three to four hundred people."
Li Shan thought about it, in this era... some of his medical skills can be used after all. At least battlefield first aid and setting up casualty barracks are very useful. If he is just one person, it will be too difficult to manage it, but if he can use the imperial doctor
Department...
To put it bluntly, today's Imperial Medical Office is not mainly for treating diseases, but for cultivating medical resources. Li Shan thought in his mind that if the military doctors can be considered for their military exploits, they should be able to form a small-scale medical team... The key is
It is to give these doctors a path for advancement.
Well, not yet, we have to wait until Li Shimin ascends the throne... Ling Jing has said before that Li Shimin is very interested in setting up wounded barracks.
Seeing the yearning look on Li Shan's face, Ling Jing laughed angrily, "Fang Xuanling is not a person who talks nonsense like that. If you enter the Imperial Medical Office..."
"It's not a bad thing." Li Shan murmured in a low voice, "But you can also enter the Imperial Medical Office through the civil service examination?"
"Yes." Ling Jing said with certainty: "The Imperial Medical Office selects doctors from the private sector every year."
"Now that I think about it, during this period, there have been rumors that you have extremely high medical skills... I'm afraid someone may be adding fuel to the fire."
"Could it be Li Dewu?"
"Du Yan?"
"Wang Renyou?"
Ling Jing swallowed, "Who else have you offended in Chang'an City?"
Li Shan scratched his chin, "Zhang Wenguan came to visit today, and I heard him mention... that poem. Cui Xin was quite unhappy when he handed it over."
"Did you really send that poem away?" Ling Jing was dumbfounded, "Didn't you give up the idea of marrying the Cui family of Qinghe?"
"It's just a poem..."
"Bah!" Ling Jingji pointed his finger and cursed: "If this poem spreads, I'm afraid Cui Xin will regard you as an enemy!"
Li Shan is a little aggrieved, but he is not a romantic poet. In the Tang Dynasty... weren't women quite open-minded?
Ling Jing walked quickly back and forth in the small courtyard, "If Feng Lun does not move, the official selection test... Even if you pass, what if you are sent to Jiangnan, Bashu..."
"That shouldn't happen, right?" Li Shan thought to himself. Li Daoxuan had already said that Li Yuan recognized his contribution to the Shandong War.
However, Li Daoxuan also mentioned that Li Yuan decided to summon him after the imperial examination that day... It has been half a month, why is there no movement at all?
