Chapter 22 Miss Xueer, do you understand what I mean?
Half a day passed by in a flash.
Shangyang Palace, Guanfeng Palace.
As the only main hall of the Shangyang Palace, the Guanfeng Hall is very large. Unlike the Taiji Hall, which is solemn, majestic and resplendent, the Guanfeng Hall as a whole tends to have an air of immortality.
The main hall is bounded by the central valley and divided into two palaces, the east and west. The two palaces are connected by the Hongqiao. The lake below is rippled with reeds. The Guanfeng Hall looks like a fairyland on earth.
"I should have known I wouldn't have gone. They were all a bunch of rubbish and a waste of my time."
Li Xingyun lay on Ji Ruxue's lap, with the tip of his nose pressed against her soft belly. He didn't know how long he could enjoy this moment of peace.
In his previous life, he was running around and toiling, struggling to survive in the bloody storms, and he even did not hesitate to join the altar of soldiers, gods and monsters to turn himself into a terrifying monster.
So Li Xingyun cherishes every second now.
"The problem isn't that all the losers are dead. You can blame them for this." Ji Ruxue said calmly.
"That night in the Jiao Lan Palace, when I chose to ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor, they were destined to die." There was no joy or sorrow in Li Xingyun's voice.
"As an emperor, emotions are the biggest taboo, so, Nebula, are you sure you are ready?"
Ji Ruxue stretched out her hand and gently brushed Li Xingyun's eyebrows, smoothing his frown that he didn't know when.
She knew that he had changed a lot, and that his brows had experienced the vicissitudes of the world. She could not hide it from her sensitive self, and he could not hide it not only from herself, but also from his junior sister Lu Linxuan.
So...
Except for Xuan Jingtian and Miaochengtian who didn't know much about Li Xingyun, most people around him noticed that he had become mature.
However.
In the eyes of Shangguan Yunque and bad handsome Yuan Tiangang, Li Xingyun grew up because he chose to ascend the throne and became emperor, and did not really notice the vicissitudes of the world in him.
The monarch’s thoughts are unpredictable, and the king’s thoughts are difficult to guess.
Guessing the emperor's thoughts is a taboo for ministers.
"Emotional taboos? I don't care about taboos. Anyway, I have never planned to be a good emperor from beginning to end. I have seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, and a harem of three thousand. This is my dream, Lao Li." p>
Li Xingyun is very self-aware. He knew very early on that he was not made to be an emperor and could not be a ruthless and unjust person, so he decisively refused to ascend the throne and become emperor in his previous life.
Now that he has returned from rebirth, he has become mature and truly understands that it is not just who he wants to be, but he can definitely be who he wants to be in the future.
"You still have a harem of three thousand people, and you are messing around like this and consuming your vitality wantonly. Are you really not afraid that your body will be depleted and you will die young?"
Ji Ruxue's eyes were cold and cold, and a hint of coldness quietly appeared on her face. If possible, she really wanted to lock him in a dark room and not let other women touch a hair on his head.
"What are you afraid of? I have studied medicine with my master since I was a child. I am proficient in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, Shen Nong's Baicao Jing, Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, Qianjin Prescriptions, and many other medical classics. It is not a problem to regulate the body." Li Xingyun said confidently.
.
In terms of his own strength, he really can't beat Datian.
But when it comes to conditioning the body, even the great heaven is not worthy of licking his feet.
If nothing else, he is Li Xingyun.
He is really the first emperor in history who can be called the Holy Hand of Medicine. As for the so-called Three Holy Nirvana and the Holy Hand of Gynecology, they are just part of his own medical ability.
Seriously.
Li Xingyun sometimes considers disbanding the Imperial Medical Office. After all, he himself is the best doctor in the world.
But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he would not be able to treat people every day in the future, so he gave up this unrealistic idea.
Furthermore, the Imperial Medical Office is of great importance and cannot be disbanded casually. It is related to the foundation of the country.
【Imperial Medical Office】
During the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial Medical Office was affiliated with Taichang Temple, and Taichang Temple, together with Dali Temple, was known as one of the Nine Temples of the Tang Dynasty. It was usually managed by the Imperial Medical Office.
The Imperial Medical Office is divided into multiple medical departments including medicine, medicine, acupuncture, and epidemics. It is a huge official medical organization. It is not an exaggeration to call it the foundation of the country.
In addition to being responsible for the health of the emperor, empress, and many concubines in the harem, civil and military officials can also ask imperial doctors to help take care of their sick family members.
But besides these.
The most important thing about the Imperial Medical Office is to teach students. The semester is usually seven years, with no upper limit, and there are regular assessments. Quarterly assessments are presided over by the Imperial Medical Office every three months, and are finally presided over by the Minister of Taichang Temple.
Year-end exam.
Depending on the merits of their performance, they will be promoted, retained or dismissed.
It is worth mentioning.
The Imperial Medical Office was the earliest medical school in Chinese history and also in the history of world medicine. It was later changed to the Imperial Medical Bureau in the Song Dynasty. At this time, both medical treatment and teaching were combined.
It's a pity.
After it was renamed the Imperial Hospital in the Qing Dynasty, it had become a privileged bureaucracy purely serving the emperor and the harem, without any idea of teaching and educating people.
........
"If your master knew that these things you learned were specifically used to do this, he would probably be forced to make a living by you." Ji Ruxue said with disdain.
"Oh, it would be great if that was really the case, but it's a pity that no matter how crazy I am, Master can't scold me again." Li Xingyun sighed.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, Xingyun, are you sure you want to hold the enthronement ceremony in the capital Chang'an?"
Ji Ruxue stared at Li Xingyun with bright eyes, as if she wanted to see an expression on his face.
"Of course." Li Xingyun nodded affirmatively.
"Don't the ministers at the court have any other opinions?" Ji Ruxue asked curiously.
"Those useless ministers discussed it for a long time, and finally told me that it all depends on His Majesty's Holy Judgment. It's really impossible to count on them."
Li Xingyun shook his head helplessly, feeling that he was really tired as an emperor, and he didn't even have anyone he could count on.
No wonder he thinks so.
In the court, there was no follow-up to the discussion about Qi State and the capital Chang'an. Li Xingyun was very disappointed with these ministers.
Except for Shui Xiangyun, the Minister of Rites, and Wang Yanzhang, the chariot general, the other ministers in the court are basically useless.
But the problem is.
It's really impossible to live without these wastes. It's acceptable to have some six ministers and first-rank ministers die, but if all these wastes really die, then the country will really be in chaos.
A country so big that even though many parts of the Tang Dynasty are not under the control of Li Xingyun, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is also the largest monarch in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
All these useless ministers, even if they can only maintain stability, are still useful. Li Xingyun cannot waste his limited energy on trivial matters.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xingyun could not cover everything. He only needed to control the general direction, and the details could only be left to the ministers below.
If something really goes wrong, the worst possible outcome is beheading.
Isn’t this the bad guy’s knife specifically designed to do this?
As for what is the territory of the Tang Dynasty...
Simply put.
It is the total territory of all the vassal towns under the Jiedu envoys and the vassal states under the vassal kings after the orthodox regime of the Li and Tang royal families in the former Tang Dynasty was overthrown.
If one day.
Li Xingyun could completely conquer the actual control of all Jiedu envoys and vassal states under the vassal kings within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the former prosperous Tang Dynasty would be restored.
But now, for the sake of Chang'an, the capital, and the enthronement ceremony, even if he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is not careful, he will start a war.
Alas, it’s so difficult!
Thinking about this.
Li Xingyun looked at Ji Ruxue beside him, but she didn't want to pay much attention to him now.
"Xue'er, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly don't want to talk to me anymore?"
"You know that I grew up in Qi Country, so you have to take action against Qi Country, right?"
"Nonsense, it's obviously King Qi himself who is ignorant, why can I be blamed for this?"
"I don't blame you, I just want to ask, isn't it possible to live in peace?"
"Unless Qi Wang Li Maozhen chooses to be soft, it will be impossible to live in peace."
"The problem is, if you have a war with King Qi now, the only ones who will benefit will be those vassal kings and Jiedushi who are watching the show, as well as the Mobei Dynasty, which Qi Kingdom has been resisting."
After a while.
Seeing Li Xingyun pretending to be deaf and ignoring this question, Ji Ruxue finally understood this man's determination.
Think before and after.
She said with a slight hesitation in her tone: "Xingyun, have you ever thought about it, if King Qi is a woman..."
The next second.
Li Xingyun pretended to be stupid and said: "Woman? Nonsense, how could King Qi Li Maozhen be a woman? Do you think I don't know him? His original name was Song Wentong, with the courtesy name Zhengchen. He was given the surname Li by Emperor Xizong Li Xuan of the Tang Dynasty and changed his name to Li Maozhen, and he was granted the title of Wu
Ding, Fengxiang, the governor of Longyou and the king of Longxi County. After the former Tang Dynasty was overthrown by the rebels Zhu Wen and his son, they established the Qi Kingdom and named themselves King Qi. They became their own country, but they still bowed to the Tang Dynasty.
”
As a reborn person.
He naturally knows that the current Qi King Li Maozhen is a woman, and he also knows that the real Li Maozhen is still in Twelve Ridges of Raojiang.
However.
As he himself said, he was determined to win the capital Chang'an. Even if he launched a war, he would not show mercy to her because of her identity as a woman and her friendship in her previous life.
In the eyes of the king, there are no men or women.
Don’t talk about kindness, just talk about benefits.
What about women?
Men must regress?
"I don't believe that sisters Xuan Jingtian and Miaochengtian didn't reveal King Qi's true identity to you...Forget it, I understand." Ji Ruxue sighed heavily.
The next second.
Memories explode.
Lu Linxuan's voice suddenly echoed in Ji Ruxue's mind, and a voice that made her scalp feel numb came again.
"Miss Xue'er, you don't want the people of Qi State to fall into war and chaos, right?"
"Actually, I really don't want to threaten you with this, but I also don't want to see my senior brother in pain. Although he didn't say anything on his lips, he must be feeling very uncomfortable in his heart about launching troops against the Qi Kingdom. On the other hand, you are
, on one side is Datang, he must make a choice."
"I know my senior brother, I know him very well. No one knows him better than me. This fool always hides everything in his heart and carries all the pain and pressure on his shoulders. He is very distressed like this.
I hope you can understand what I'm doing."
"Miaochengtian, her senior brother saved her life and cured her innate terminal pulse. Xuan Jingtian is her biological sister. Naturally, she is very grateful to her senior brother. These days, their sisters have told her secretly
Tell me about the true gender of King Qi Li Maozhen."
"When you hear this, Miss Xue'er, do you feel a little strange? What's the point of me saying this now? Don't worry, you can definitely understand what I want to express from the following words."
"As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, unless there is one male and one female. It is actually very simple to resolve the war between Qi Kingdom. As long as we make King Qi our own, then everything will be no problem."
