The 18th Physician Hu's Diagnosis and Rehabilitation Hall, presented by Ban Bowen
Zhang Wanqiang led Hu Gongshan in front, and Wei Dongting followed closely, heading straight for the Yangxin Hall. Looking at Hu Gongshan's back, Wei Dongting couldn't help but wonder: This short man with a yellow face and thin muscles has a very wretched appearance, but his triangular eyes radiate with thieves.
Liang Guang, is he really that capable? Even Shi Longbiao praised him highly.
Kangxi summoned Hu Gongshan this time, which was something he expected, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and he didn't even have time to inquire about the background. Listening to Shi Longbiao's tone a few days ago, Hu Gongshan was originally a Taoist priest from Zhongnan Mountain, how could he come out of the mountain and return to secular life?
Did he get into the Taiyuan Hospital through the help of General Manager Huang of the Inner Court? General Manager Huang has a connection with King Pingxi... Thinking of Shi Longbiao's original purpose of coming to Beijing, he couldn't help but take a breath. Seeing that Hu Gongshan had followed Zhang Wanqiang into the palace,
Without having time to think too much, he hurriedly followed in.
Because the imperial edict was given to Wei Dongting, as usual, Wei Dongting responded and handed over the edict. Wei Dongting stepped forward and said, "Hu Gongshan of the Taiyuan Hospital is here with the imperial edict!"
Kangxi was half-lying on the couch, leaning on pillows, with a yellow silk belt tied around his head. He glanced at the thin, unattractive man and said, "Are you Hu Gongshan?"
"Yes," Hu Gongshan kowtowed and replied, "I, Hu Gongshan, have been ordered to diagnose and diagnose holy diseases." His voice was not loud, but his Qi was extremely strong. Kangxi nodded and said, "I feel a little cold, so I don't need to check my pulse to prescribe a prescription.
It will be fine if you evacuate." Hu Gongshan raised his head and looked at Kangxi and said: "I dare you to call the Holy Vein, otherwise, I will never dare to go."
Seeing that he persisted, Kangxi had no choice but to put his hand on a small yellow pillow. Hu Gongshan walked close to him on his knees and thought quietly. He closed his eyes and tapped his left wrist first, then felt his right vein, then he knelt down and kowtowed to the ground, saying:
"According to my humble opinion, the emperor's illness is not caused by wind and cold, but caused by stagnation of qi and inability to communicate, which causes pain, dizziness, and swelling. It seems to be caused by wind and cold, but it is not the case."
"In that case," Kangxi said with a smile, "go down and draw up a prescription." Hu Gongshan kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, this disease does not require medicine. I have a small trick to try. If it is ineffective, it will not be too late to try another prescription."
Kangxi was very interested in the idea that diseases could be cured without medicine. He sat up and asked, "What wonderful method do you have? Come and use it with me!" Hu Gongshan said, "Please just sit still, Your Majesty!" After saying this, he held his hands high in the air.
, three feet away from Kangxi's head, motionless. Zhang Wanqiang watched him playing tricks and treating diseases, secretly wondering, even Aunt Sumala hiding behind the curtain was stunned, but Wei Dongting knew that he was using his internal energy to make a living.
Kangxi cured diseases.
Kangxi also felt funny at first, but gradually he felt a cool and numbing and sweet feeling infiltrating from the Niwan, Taiyang, and Yintang acupoints on his head. Gradually, he only felt numb, and felt the cool breeze in his heart, like climbing high in autumn.
All the miscellaneous worries were washed away, and even the feeling of numbness gradually disappeared. At this time, the blood flow was reversed, the head was a little dizzy, and the utensils in the hall were spinning. He quickly closed his eyes.
After half an hour, Hu Gongshan breathed a sigh of relief, put down his hands, kowtowed on his stomach and said: "Long live, please open your eyes!" Kangxi was originally confused by thinking about things, and his head hurt a little, so he used the topic to call him.
Hu Gongshan mainly wanted to meet this strange man. He was disgusted when he first met, but he was really capable. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly felt that the room was clear, his mind was calm, and he was extremely relaxed. He couldn't help but feel so happy that he untied his head.
Wearing a yellow silk belt, he shook his head and said with satisfaction: "I really didn't know that you could do magic!"
Hu Gongshan hurriedly said: "This is not a magic technique, but the innate internal qigong that I have practiced in the past. It is forced into the dragon's body, which can eliminate evil and strengthen the body, relax the muscles and activate the muscles and joints."
Kangxi originally wanted to test his kung fu, but now he was more and more trustworthy, so he asked: "Are you good at internal qigong?" Hu Gongshan said: "How dare you say that you are good at it, but you only know a thing or two." Kangxi smiled and said: "You are good at it?"
Just give me a demonstration!" When Wei Dongting saw that Kangxi ordered Hu Gongshan to perform kung fu, Wei Dongting stood up first and stood close to Kangxi.
"I don't dare to be presumptuous!" Hu Gongshan replied, pressing his hands lightly, and stood up, but made no movement, just smiled and said nothing. Everyone was surprised and looked down at the ground, and they couldn't help but be shocked - it turned out that Hu Gongshan had made a fortune the moment he stood up.
With a push of internal force, the six square bricks on the ground with both hands, knees, and feet cracked and sank!
"Okay, okay!" Kangxi had already seen it, applauded and laughed, "The sea water is truly immeasurable. With such ability, how can you be subordinate to others for a long time! You can do it for yourself, I will be of use to you."
Seeing that Kangxi was happy, Zhang Wanqiang took the best envelope - twenty taels of gold - and brought it over. Kangxi said: "Such a hero cannot be sent away with money." He pointed to a jade with a unicorn and a dragon on the case.
Ruyi smiled and said, "Here you go!"
Looking at the back of Hu Gongshan, Kangxi turned to Wei Dongting and said: "This man's skills are very deep. I have never heard of or seen him in the past!" Wei Dongting hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "This is the Lord's great blessing." Kangxi was confused and said: "But I don't know him.
Are you willing to use it for me?"
Wei Dongting said: "A gentleman means righteousness, and a villain means benefit, so why worry about not being used by our lord?" Kangxi smiled heartily and said: "Have you made great progress in your knowledge?"
"Xiao Weizi," Kangxi asked again after being lost in thought for a while, "what you said about 'righteousness and benefit' just now reminded me. According to you, do Bambulshan and Aobai really work together?"
"It seems that the servants are in the same group."
Kangxi said: "Not necessarily! He keeps dozens of dead soldiers in his house, and his actions are secretive. Even Obai doesn't know about it."
Wei Dongting asked in shock: "How did the emperor know..."
"You don't need to worry about this." Kangxi said, "He hid a lot of things from Obai."
This news deeply shocked Wei Dongting. He bit his lip and fell into deep thought, but Kangxi said again: "Do you think, he is a close branch of the royal family, and what good does it do to him if Aobai usurps the throne?"
"This..." Wei Dongting had never thought about this kind of thing and couldn't help but be speechless.
"Don't rush to answer." Kangxi suddenly realized, "I think they may not really be part of the same party, or they may have sneaked in before Obai, pretending to support him and are waiting to contribute to the court, or they may have other plans of their own to borrow Obai's power.
.You can keep these words in your heart and you may be able to verify them in the future.”
"yes!"
"It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in one month." Kangxi mused, "You have to make an appointment with him and go out with me for an autumn trip. I don't know for sure when the time comes, but I will tell him when the time comes. I want to take a look at his gourd."
What kind of medicine is in it?"
"No!" Aunt Sumala pushed the curtain and came in. She probably felt that she was too rash, so she smiled again and said, "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, let alone the Lord of thousands of chariots, how can he come to the danger in person?"
"It doesn't matter." Wei Dongting said with a smile, "Mother Wan looks down on us too much. Are we just going to eat the emperor's salary for nothing?"
"This is not a matter of whether you should take your salary or not." Aunt Su Ma did not give in. "As long as nothing happens, even if you touch a hair of Long Live Lord, you won't be able to regret it until your intestines are broken! This matter has to go through the Emperor.
The Queen Mother has made her decision!"
"Of course," Kangxi said with a smile, "but I want to go. It's too boring to wander around these places every day. Xiao Weizi has made preparations first, so it's okay for me to wander around incognito for a while."
Wei Dongting also smiled and said, "My lord, please rest assured."
"We agreed today, maybe someday I will join in the fun!" Aunt Sumala added.
"Then let's settle it first," Kangxi said, "and we'll wait until I ask the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's decree."
When he left the palace and looked up, it was already the time to apply for cards. Although the scorching sun was setting in the west, the remaining power of the autumn tiger seemed to have not faded away. Wei Dongting let the horse back to the house, and even the horse was too hot to be lazy, so he laughed and scolded: "Even you
It's so hot for animals, let's go to a good place, I'll drink, and you drink egg white mixed with water!" Then he urged the horse to go to Jiaxing Tower - since Mingzhu and Cuigu were together, they often come here, and Wei Dongting also goes to bang the clapper from time to time.
play.
After passing Qingfengzhai, I happened to meet Liu Hua who was writing a letter to Aobai Mansion. The two used to work together in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and were good friends. Later, Wei Dongting became a bodyguard, and Liu Hua stopped coming often.
Moreover, because Wei Dongting was on a secret mission and it was difficult to communicate with him, the two sides became estranged. Liu Hua also saw Wei Dongting, wearing bright court clothes and riding a tall horse, so he didn't turn around and pretended not to see. Wei Dongting smiled and got off his horse, grabbing him.
He asked, "What's the matter? I work as an errand in the middle hall, so you don't look down on us anymore?"
Liu Hua smiled sheepishly and said, "You will bite me back! Now that you are Mr. Wei, it would be better for us to follow the Liu Bi Tie style! As the saying goes, riches change wives, noble people change friends. Do you think you are worthy of being so high up on you?"
"Stop saying these disgusting words!" Wei Dongting said with a smile, "Come on, good brother, go upstairs and have a drink!"
He knew that Liu Hua was a drunkard and would always give in. Unexpectedly, this time he actually declined seriously and said: "I really have something to do. I will accompany you some other time." Wei Dongting also became more serious about the offer: "Oh, Ao Zhongtang is really good at this.
Now that you* have come out, even Mr. Liu has become so prosperous that he has given up drinking!"
"I'm afraid of his bullshit!" Liu Hua was the most bloody-minded and had done this, so he stopped and said, "I don't want to do this anymore. If it wasn't for the convenience of making money, who the hell would be willing to live in that nest!
"
"If you have a drink with me, you will lose your job. What's the matter?" Wei Dongting heard the reason behind his words and said, "If he really kicks you out, the job will be taken care of by your brother!" As he said this, he dragged Liu Hua upstairs.
After eating three large cups of old-style roasted meat, Liu Hua got angry. He picked up two pieces of Magnolia Slices and stuffed them into his mouth. He said with emotion: "Our brothers have all grown their hair, so you're the one who has it."
Even the worst-case scenario is to be led by a blue-collar officer from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I, the old Liu Hua, are the losers!" He picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Although it was Lao Lin who recommended you, it was your own choice!" Wei Dongting hurriedly filled up the wine for him, "I didn't say that, if you want to be here, no matter what happens, you will have to get a fifth-grade top wearer!"
"Alas! Who told my family to be poor? If you are poor, you will have no future, just like the little guy in the imperial tea room, who has nothing to do with you!" Liu Hua sighed, "Being an errand here will make you much more money than in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Except that
What I said just now is that I feel so damn uncomfortable. Drinking wine privately without receiving any reward during the New Year's Day is really a slap in the face!" He drank the wine again.
Wei Dongting smiled and refilled the wine for him, and said: "Of course, if you are the imperial master's house, can there be no rules?" Liu Hua had not had wine for a long time, and today he was pregnant and had no restraint, so he drank another glass. Listen.
Wei Dongting said this, stared at Wei Dongting and sneered: "Rules? What rules does he have? He sets the rules for all civil and military officials, but the prime minister sets the rules in the minister's house. If it weren't for his wife, who knows what he will do with the rules.
You look like that!" Although Liu Hua blushed when he drank, he actually drank a lot. After drinking a few glasses of thirst-quenching wine, he persuaded Wei Dongting, "Come on! Why don't you let me drink alone, and you can come too!"
Wei Dongting hurriedly drank with a smile, filled two more glasses, and said: "Drink--Zhongtang is a Taoist teacher, and he is still afraid of his wife?"
"Haha!" Liu Hua said, "Does he believe in learning? There are five aunts and wives. She doesn't say anything. He doesn't even dare to get involved with her, let alone sneak around. My wife is a good person - this is the only one that is bad - the previous few
Nian Mulima snatched a busking girl, hey! That's really amazing!"
This obviously refers to appreciating plum blossoms. Wei Dongting was moved in his heart, and hurriedly took a chicken leg and brought it to Liu Hua, and asked curiously: "What kind of trick?"
"The girl got off the sedan in the second hall," Liu Hua picked up the cup and swallowed it with a "slurp" sound, tore a chicken leg and chewed it. "As soon as she got off the sedan, she went straight to the back hall. The person seeing off the bride was shocked, and none of the aunts stopped her.
"She looked for a way out, and wandered around for a long time before she found Mrs. Rongshi Taijun of Aobai. She knelt down with a 'dong' sound, crying, talking and cursing, how could she rob, how could she force, how could she have such a family?
He breathed his last.
"The old woman was so angry that her face turned blue. Just as Ao Zhongtang came over, she looked at her face and spat on her face, saying: 'You are on the left and you are ruining other people's yellow girls. When you die, be careful and go to Abi Hell!' Right again!
The girl said: 'You just serve me here, you can't suffer from him!' She even made Ao Zhongtang dizzy by yelling and cursing, and then she called Mulima up and scolded her, and then the matter was settled."
Wei Dongting breathed a long sigh of relief and asked: "What happens next?"
Liu Hua stood up and poured a glass of wine, and then poured it for Wei Dongting. He drank it himself first, and while pouring it, he smiled and said: "Who cares about what happens next? I heard that this maid will stay in the Taijun's room."
, what do you mean by his family’s rules? Even the emperor dares to break them!”
Wei Dongting saw that his tongue was spinning and he was already drunk. He originally planned to end it. When he heard this, he stood up again and poured wine for him. He smiled and said: "In the middle hall, I am entrusting a lonely and important minister. How can such a thing happen?"
But Liu Hua heard "loyalty" as "loyalty". His red eyes were slightly cunning. He stared at Wei Dongting and smiled, saying: "Loyal minister! Loyalty... I'm not fucking here for my mother. My son has enough to eat."
I'm not just waiting there to be stabbed..." Liu Hua's eyes squinted, he let out a long sigh and leaned on his chair without moving.
Wei Dongting pushed Liu Hua, who was already drunk and unconscious, so he took his arm and left the shop. He took his horse and drove it to the entrance of an alley in front of Obai Mansion. He shook Liu Hua again, and Liu Hua
Hua moved, raised his head and said: "No, it can't be done...change it...I'll invite you another day!" Wei Dongting saw that he was still awake and asked hurriedly: "Do you have any close friends in the house?"
"I...I have friends everywhere! Xiao Qi, Xiao Zengzi..." Liu Hua struggled, a little confused again, "Ask them all to come! I...don't believe that I can't convince them..."
Wei Dongting left Liu Hua behind and walked to the porter of Ao Mansion alone and asked: "Are Xiao Qi and Xiao Zengzi there?" The porter looked at Wei Dongting and asked, "Do you know them?" Wei Dongting said: "I don't know them.
A friend asked me to bring a message."
The porter smiled and said: "I am little Zengzi, just say it." Wei Dongting whispered a few words to him, and little Zengzi stamped his feet and said: "Hey, you have a bad habit that you can't change!" Then he followed Wei Dongting to the horse and helped him down.
Liu Hua picked up his back, smiled and said to Wei Dongting: "Thank you for your care, sir. If I were to encounter a crooked tiger, he would give me a severe beating. I had no choice but to go in through the side door and find an empty house to stay in first. I can talk after I sober up."
That’s it.” After saying that, he turned around and left.
After this incident, Wei Dongting thought a lot. He knew that Jianmei was smart when he was a child, and now he seems to be even smarter. I am afraid that even Shi Longbiao may not know about the situation when he entered the mansion! Suddenly he remembered that Jianmei has been so smart all these years.
He refused to send any news to himself, and felt a chill in his heart. If, like Shi Longbiao, he had the purpose of "restoring his sight", what should he do with it? Listening to Liu Hua's words, several of his friends and
That "Crooked Tiger" was not from the same group. From then on, I had another idea in mind.
Time flies, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed in the blink of an eye. Yellow leaves are everywhere in the capital, and thousands of trees are deserted. During this period, Kangxi, in addition to quietly sneaking to Suo'etu Mansion every day to listen to Wu Ciyou's commentary on "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", brought
Wei Dongting and a group of lackeys fought cocks, practiced Buku riding and shooting, talked about boxing and kicking, and even fought fireflies and caught crickets, ignoring the government affairs. It made all the upright courtiers dumbfounded, but they secretly wondered: "Why is the sacred knowledge advancing day by day?
Is this really a gift from heaven and God?" On the surface, Ao Bai was on good terms with Kangxi's emperor and ministers, and he often came in to ask for instructions when it came to government affairs, big or small. However, seeing that Kangxi was lazy when he heard about business, he just left with a smile.
Ao Bai had a habit that he couldn't change. After dealing with political affairs in the morning, no matter whether it was winter or summer, he had to take a nap at noon, then practice boxing in the back garden, and then go to the study to read.
After practicing the exercises that day, I just picked up the book when I saw Bambulshan walking in with a beaming face. He raised his hands and said, "Congratulations to the main hall!" Obai was startled and gave up his seat and said, "Where does my joy come from?" Bambul said
Shan smiled and took out a mulberry paper bag from his arms, peeling it open layer by layer, "Look, if you want to achieve great things, you have to rely on it!"
"Is it borneol? Buzhongyiqi powder?" Obai looked at it and said with a smile, "What's so rare about this? I'll give you ten pounds as a gift tomorrow!" After saying that, he curiously reached out to fiddle with it. Bumble waved his hand to stop him:
"Can't move!" Obai couldn't help but be stunned and asked quickly: "Why, this is -"
Banbulshan carefully rewrapped the medicine and put it on the table. Seeing that there was no one around him, he winked and said with a smile: "It makes a perfect pair with Buzhongyiqisan, it is a soul-chasing and life-killing pill! But!
But it has a slow-onset effect, and it will take seven or eight days for the onset to occur. You see, it doesn’t change color when mixed with wine—isn’t it a good treasure?”
Oboi completely understood what he meant. He didn't mention this matter for many days, but he felt at peace in his heart. Suddenly he mentioned it again, and he couldn't help but panic. Bamboulshan's perseverance surprised him, and he stopped for a moment.
Fang asked: "Where did you get it?"
"It was made according to what is said in ancient books." Banbulshan sat down and squinted at Ao Bai. "The real name of this elixir is Hundred Birds Frost. It was originally a medicine used in Taoist alchemy - go into the mountains and sweep thousands of catties of bird droppings.
Put it into the water and filter it, steam it nine times and dry it in the sun for nine times, and you will get this highly poisonous product. With just this one grain, you can be a copper wall or a prince or grandson. If you discipline him, he will never be able to continue his dream of love!" He was so proud that he said a few words casually.
The lyrics in "Open the Coffin".
Obai's heart was beating wildly, but he refused to show it on his face. He just said lightly: "Put this here first, it may not work. I have a more ingenious plan."
Banbul Shan was a little disappointed when he saw that Ao Bai didn't pay much attention to it. While wrapping the medicine again, he asked: "Zhongtang, what wonderful method do you have, why don't you give me some advice?" Ao Bai said with a smile: "Lao San is here every day.
I have found out about studying in Suofu. Look, what is this opportunity like?" Bambulshan pondered: "It's good, I'm afraid he has been on guard. Wei Dongting's martial arts is very high, and he never leaves every day. It's hard to come by secretly.
It's done. What about tomorrow? You have to think of a reason to search the minister's house!" As the two were talking, they saw Jianmei coming in with a tea tray, so they covered their mouths.
Jianmei came in and saw two people sitting on an imperial chair each smoking. He lightly placed a cup of tea in front of each of the two adults. He put the paper packet on the table on the plate and was about to leave. Ao Bai hurriedly said: "
Suqiu, please put this paper bag here." Jianmei agreed with a "yes", still put the paper bag on the table, bowed and left.
Banbulshan watched Jianmei's beautiful figure retreating away, and said: "This girl can't even hear a sound when she walks."
A word reminded Obai, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "She has Qinggong!" I heard that at the beginning of that year, Shi Jianmei broke into the back hall, and several strong women could not stop her. He had teased her several times and pulled her.
There seemed to be a sense of uncertainty during the moment - the more he thought about it, the more real it became, and he couldn't help but be startled. Seeing that he was stunned, Bumbleshan asked: "Zhongtang, what are you thinking about?" Obai said: "Thieves step.
The lightest!"
This sentence coincided with Bamboulshan's thoughts. He looked around, came up to Obai and said, "I know that the housekeeping in the middle hall is very strict, but -"
Obai glanced at him and said, "Speak."
Banbulshan hesitated and said, "I'm just confused. Last time we discussed something in the flower hall, it was so secret. How could it be spread in the house?" Obai was shocked and asked what was going on. Banbulshan then said
He told Obai what he heard about the girl's conversation by the willow bush.
Obai gritted his teeth and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he said: "I have my own way of doing this. It won't be a big deal."
The two then discussed important matters. According to Banbulshan's opinion, Suo'etu's residence should be searched suddenly, and the people caught should be killed. Then the crime of regicide could be added to Suo'etu's head. That is really ironclad evidence -
- Because people died in his home!
"Okay!" Obai chuckled. He admired Banbulshan's resourcefulness and judgment, but if he agreed with it, he would appear to be incompetent, so he said, "But if the sneak attack fails, you and I will become birds without a nest.
There is only one step away from the ghost under the sword. So I think, firstly, we must look for it before setting the net; secondly, we must not follow Wu Ming. Even if it fails, there is still a way to retreat. Before that, we can get rid of Wei Dongting.
Little beasts are the best!”
This plan is indeed very thorough, and Bumble agrees with it. (To be continued)
