"According to Master, the thief Jing Ke took a map and presented it to the king to point out the location of Dukang. Unexpectedly, the map was exhausted and the dagger appeared!"
"Alas!"
Although Heifu already knew this story from two years ago, he still pretended to be very surprised and listened to Chen Wujiu's bragging without blinking an eye. He was still thinking that maybe he could hear something different from the historical records.
What's the inside story?
But Chen Wujiu said: "Qin's law states that when ministers are serving in the palace, they are not allowed to carry large-scale soldiers. The armed guards are all lined up outside the palace. They are not allowed to go to the palace unless there is an edict. At that time, the incident happened suddenly and there was chaos.
At this time, the doctor's guards could not catch up, and the palace was in chaos. The ministers were eager to protect the king, so they could only stop Jing Ke with their bare hands, but Jing Ke was so agile and agile, how could he stop him?"
"At that time, the king was carrying a sword on his back, but the sword was too long and he couldn't pull it out for a while while running. Seeing Jing Ke catching up again, he was about to stab the king with a dagger!"
When Chen Wujiu said this, he deliberately paused to whet his appetite before continuing: "It just so happened that at this time, my wife, Xia Gongwuju, who happened to be the king's physician, was standing aside with a medicine bag on his back. He saw
He immediately raised the medicine bag and threw it at Jing Ke to stop his movement! The king then walked around behind the pillar and drew out his sword. The ministers on both sides also came over one after another and stepped forward to hold Jing Ke down. The king struck Jing Ke with his sword and struck him.
On the left leg, blood surged like a fountain..."
Hearing this, Heifu pretended to be relieved and said: "Fortunately, the king has the blessing of Haotian and the medicine bag of Xia Gong, which prevented the thief Jing Ke from succeeding."
"Of course."
Chen Wujiu touched his short beard. This was his teacher's favorite work. Every time Chen Wujiu told it to outsiders, it could be regarded as a gift and a kind of sharing. What happened that day was only known to Qin.
Chen Wujiu, the average person, wouldn’t want to tell him the secrets of the palace!
"After this incident, the king discussed his merits, rewarded all the officials, and gave my master two hundred yi of gold!"
"Two hundred yi!" Now Hei Fu was genuinely surprised.
In the Qin State, gold is the denominated currency and there are two units of weighing. The smaller unit is liang. When Heifu and the others capture thieves, they usually reward them by liang. If they can get ten liang at a time, it is enough for the pavilion.
The soldiers in the pavilion burst into laughter.
Yi is a larger unit than "liang", and one yi is equal to 24 taels. Usually when a person is said to be as rich as the country, he will be praised as having "a thousand pieces of gold", which means he has a thousand pieces of gold.
Heifu calculated in his mind that one tael of gold was 576 gold and one yi of gold was 13,824 gold.
200 yi of gold... Tsk, more than 2.7 million yuan!
Poverty limited Heifu's imagination. He had no idea about the prices in Xianyang City, but he knew that with more than two million yuan, he could basically buy all the shops in Anlu County, and then buy the entire Yunmengxiang.
Most of the houses in the city are still left.
This is really a huge windfall. With this reward, Xia Wuge can transform from a not-so-rich doctor into a rich man in Qin!
No wonder Xia Wuqie was able to get the famous golden sore medicine from Qin State, which was all bought with money...
King Qin’s intention of rewarding Xia Wuji was also very clear. The king’s life was of the utmost importance, and a medicine bag thrown out in time was worth so much money!
Seeing that Heifu was "shocked" again, Chen Wujiu said with some pride: "Money is the second most important thing. The most important thing is that when discussing the merits, the king commented on the master, "Heifu Commander, do you know that the king
What did you say?"
"What did you say?" Heifu really didn't know these details.
"The king said: If you love me, you can carry Jing Ke with a medicine bag!"
Chen Wujiu smacked his lips, as if savoring the profound meaning of this sentence. This was King Qin's affirmation of Xia Wuji's loyalty. After this incident, Xia Wuji also jumped from a low-status serving doctor to a
Qin’s Imperial Physician’s Order…
"Now that the master is highly trusted by the king, if he is the one to submit the battlefield medical care strategy discussed by Commander Heifu and me to the king, the chances of it passing are extremely high!"
Chen Wujiu and Hei Fu had been bragging about Xia Wuji's deeds for so long. Chen Wujiu wanted to prove how much his wife was trusted by the King of Qin and that he was one of the closest people around the King.
However, in Heifu's view, it was true that Xia Wujie was trusted by the King of Qin, but as one of his many disciples, how high was Chen Wujiu's status in the sect? Not entirely true.
"If he was really Xia Wuqie's favorite disciple, he would have risen to the top and been on duty in the Qin Palace. He wouldn't have just gotten a doctorate title, and then came to Wei to join the army and work for a thousand people.
A little doctor..."
Heifu didn't express this idea, and he had nothing to do. The only way in front of him was Chen Wujiu. He just held back when giving advice, and did not hand over all the medical knowledge he knew about future generations.
Heifu's guess was correct. Chen Wujiu's status among the many disciples in his sect was really not high. He could not compare with his son-in-law, who was regarded as his successor by Xia Wuji. He was not even given a secret recipe.
That's why Chen Wujiu, like Hei Fu, was eager for fame. After a detailed discussion with Hei Fu, he began to feel that the idea of a battlefield medic might help him gain the attention of his wife, Xia Wuji.
So Chen Wujiu did what he said, and after learning the bandaging techniques for battlefield rescue for two days with Hei Fu, he wrote the cause and effect on a wooden slip. He also asked Hei Fu to come and review it to prove that he had indeed packed Hei Fu's body.
The name is written on it. There is no special "medical book" in the Qin State. Medical books, like divination, are circulated among the people. Therefore, as the head of the village, Heifu is concerned about the treatment of golden sores and the rescue of the injured. It is not considered overstepping his duties.
However, although Chen Wujiu patted his chest and gave his repeated assurances, Heifu still had some doubts about whether this letter could attract Xia Wuji's attention and whether it could be brought before the King of Qin's case.
Chen Wujiu's title meant that he was a doctor, but he did not have the privilege of expedited delivery. The Qin State's public postal service did not help people deliver personal letters. Therefore, this letter could only be entrusted to the Xianyang generals who were injured and returned to Guanzhong.
Send it back slowly.
It is more than 1,400 miles from Waihuang to Xianyang, blocked by mountains and rivers. It will probably be more than a month before this letter reaches Xia Wuji.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, not to mention a hero like King Qin Yingzheng. Anyone who can surround him with cronies is not a reckless person. Seeing is believing and hearing is false. If Xia Wuqi really believed in the letter,
He became interested in the things, and out of caution, he would even wait until the end of the war, call Chen Wu Jiu back, and witness it with his own eyes before making the next step.
Even if everything goes well, and Xia Wuqie really writes a letter to the King of Qin for the officials to discuss, it may not necessarily be accepted.
Battlefield rescue is different from treading water, the benefits are not so immediate, and some may even find it troublesome.
Not every king or general will cherish the life and death of soldiers. The millions of strong men in the Qin State have been incorporated into Fu Ji's system. If one who fills ravines dies, countless Guizhou leaders will follow behind. Even if he is rescued,
Most of them will become disabled. According to the system of the Qin State, such disabled veterans must be placed in "hidden officials" to raise them. Why bother to save more disabled people and let them waste resources and food?
Therefore, after watching the Guanzhong military official who was carrying the letter leave, unlike Chen Wujiu who was impatient, Heifu seemed much calmer.
"Whether this matter will be accomplished or not, whether there will be a reward or not, will all be decided in a few months. Now, I have to pretend that this is not the case!"
…
The carriage to Xianyang was slow, but Hei Fu’s new title came quite quickly!
Since he became the commander of the village, Heifu's title upgrade is no longer linked to his personal beheading. Only through collective merit can he be promoted.
In the Battle of Waihuang, Heifu and his team reached level 17 in Tunde Beheading, completing the "Ying Lun" target, which is equivalent to a collective effort.
The military nobility law stipulates: "If there is a surplus, one hundred generals will be awarded one level of nobility by the commander of the camp."
After the military judge verified that all the heads were OK, the rewards and punishments for everyone were written down and submitted to Wang Ben's camp under Daliang City, where they were confirmed by the legal officials in charge of military rewards and punishments.
So on the sixth day after the Qin army occupied Waihuang, Heifu's new title came to him.
After receiving the wooden crown symbolizing the "unchangeable" title, Heifu smiled.
