Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Chapter 32 The Fan family never refuses to talk about reforms

"Fan Zheng, you still have the nerve to sit down. Do you know that this time, you have caused great harm to the Fan family? You actually openly advocated reforms in the Imperial Medical Bureau." Before Fan Zheng could sit down completely, Li was the first to burst out with accusations. .

As soon as Mr. Li finished speaking, Mr. Ma was not happy and immediately retorted: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Zheng'er was bullied at the imperial doctor's office. The secret skill of alcohol is a skill that can heal thousands of people, but this kind of magic formula is Being ranked in the second group, isn't this an insult to my Fan family? If Zheng'er doesn't fight back, wouldn't it mean that our Fan family has no one?"

Fan Chunren frowned and said: "Now that my third brother is far away in Bozhou, if Fan Zheng is bullied, he can ask us to stand up for him. Why has the trouble reached such an extent?"

Fan Zheng waved his hand and said proudly: "How can I bother my second uncle with such a trivial matter? My nephew can handle it himself."

Fourth Uncle Fan Chunchuan said: "This is not a trivial matter. You are openly preaching the reform in front of the Imperial Medical Bureau and letting the world think about my Fan family. You must take back your words before it causes a big mistake."

This time, even Fan Chunren remained silent. After all, Fan Zhengbian, a forensic scientist, had a great impact on the Fan family.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li took the opportunity again and said: "Also, the secret recipe for alcohol and liquor is worth tens of thousands of dollars. How can you give it away to others? If it is used as family property, my Fan family will definitely be able to prosper for a hundred years."

The largest family property of the Fan family now is the thousand acres of fertile land purchased by Fan Zhongyan in Hangzhou. A fixed rent is collected every year to support the descendants of the Fan family. However, as the population of the Fan family increases, the money allocated to each house is very small. If Suddenly adding a huge fortune of 20,000 yuan, the descendants of the Fan family have no worries about food and clothing.

"No, that secret recipe is the foundation of my son's success and fame. Now Zheng'er has given up his favor and sought an official position, and cannot take the imperial examination. The path of becoming a Hanlin medical officer has been suppressed by the imperial physician's order. Zheng'er has no retreat. Yes, this is the only way to go!" Ma refused. Although she also felt sorry for the secret recipe worth 20,000 yuan, but compared with her son's future, she didn't care at all.

Of course, Mrs. Li didn't care about Fan Zheng's future, and she even wanted to get a share of the huge fortune of 20,000 yuan. She said earnestly: "Fan Zheng naturally cannot be wronged. As long as Fan Zheng promises not to become a forensic doctor and hand over the secret recipe to the family property, the Fan family will We can guarantee that we will seek justice for Fan Zheng immediately, and even if he is not a medical officer in the Hanlin Academy, he will be able to seek a position of favor for Fan Zheng."

"That's right! Fan Zheng's literary talent is outstanding, and his poems are even more outstanding in the literary world. After all, Hanlin Medical Officer is not a medical officer. Serving as an official in the court is the ambition that the children of the Fan family should have." Fan Chunchuan said, he is the Minister of Household Affairs. , who deals with money all day long, has not been able to resist the temptation of a huge fortune of 20,000 yuan, and speaks out to help Dafang.

Ma immediately fell into hesitation. After all, she had always wanted Fan Zheng to serve as an official in the court, so she couldn't help but hesitate.

Mrs. Li couldn't help but show a hint of pride when she saw this. She knew that she had grasped Mr. Ma's weakness. When she thought that the Fan family's wealth had suddenly increased by 20,000 yuan, wouldn't his eldest brother want to take the lion's share.

Fan Chunren has been silently paying attention to the situation. For him, the biggest purpose is to steadily resolve the impact of Fan Zheng's reform. It would be great if he could increase the family assets by 20,000 yuan.

"If my nephew is willing to be an official, why would he study medicine?" Suddenly a voice echoed throughout the audience.

"what!"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and they suddenly remembered that there were rumors in the city that Fan Zheng was heartbroken because he had no way to serve his country.

"Also, what is the use of the Fan family's secret recipe? Does the Fan family want to go into business and sell wine? Could it be that the Fan family wants to abandon the ancestral teachings passed down by their grandfather." Fan Zheng asked again.

Everyone in the Fan family suddenly changed their expressions. Fan Zhongyan spent all his savings to buy a thousand acres of fertile land and turned it into a family property. He established the ancestral motto of farming and studying as a family. If word spread that the Fan family was doing business, wouldn't it immediately become the name of Kaifeng City? laughing stock.

Li quickly redressed: "Of course the Fan family will not go into business. If they sell the secret recipe and put 20,000 yuan into the family property, then my Fan family can be glorious for hundreds of years. It is better than you wasting it in vain."

Fan Zheng retorted: "That's the secret recipe that my nephew made. Why should it be used as family property? My nephew can't dispose of his own things."

Li's eyes widened when she heard this and said: "Fan Zheng, you are a junior and you receive money from the family property every year. Shouldn't you repay the family? After all, the family is closer than your classmates!"

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "According to this, the second uncle is the prime minister, and the salary paid by the court every year is not a small amount. The fourth uncle is the Minister of Household Affairs, and the money he handles every year is not a small amount. My nephew is still young. , it’s not my nephew’s turn to contribute to the family affairs.”

Fan Chunren and Fan Chunren twitched their mouths. He never expected that Fan Zheng would be so sharp-tongued that he would fire the map cannon casually.

Li wanted to argue again, but Fan Chunren placed the tea cup heavily on the table, and everyone was speechless.

"Well, the secret recipe is Fan Zheng's private matter, so he naturally has the right to make the decision, and the third brother is not here. How can it be unseemly for us to rob my nephew of the secret recipe? Besides, my father purchased the family property in order to inherit the Fan family. Future generations, rather than seeking repayment from future generations." Fan Chunren shouted.

"Second uncle is teaching you a lesson!" Mr. Li lowered his head unwillingly.

Fan Chunchun nodded and said: "The top priority now is Fan Zheng's reform of the forensic family. Someone with intentions will force him to be involved in the Fan family's reform. This is the biggest trouble for the Fan family."

Fan Chunren looked at Fan Zhengdao again: "Yes, you must take back your words of becoming a forensic doctor. As for the injustice you have suffered, the Fan family will naturally seek justice for you. It is not difficult for you to become a medical officer in the Imperial Academy."

Fan Chunren was the prime minister of the dynasty, so it was easy for Fan Zheng to enter the imperial medical officer position, and even the position of imperial physician in the future was not impossible.

Suddenly everyone looked at Fan Zheng with complicated eyes. The Fan family wanted to seek official positions, but the rebellious Fan Zheng went to study medicine. Fan Zheng opened his mouth to read the eternal masterpiece that everyone wanted, and even discarded it at will. The world's pursuit of it is immeasurable. Fan Zheng gave up 20,000 yuan of wealth.

"No!" Fan Zheng shook his head firmly and said, "I will not stop becoming a forensic scientist!"

Fan Chunchuan became furious and said, "You are trying to harm the Fan family!"

Nowadays, the conservatives in the court are in power. As the first generation of the reform family, the Fan family is already on pins and needles. Being able to enter the court is just a way of balancing the Queen Mother Gao.

And Fan Zheng's public transformation into a forensic expert would make it difficult for everyone in the court to associate with the Fan family, and the Fan family's status might be in jeopardy as a result.

"Why do our Fan family keep silent about the reform?" Fan Zheng stood up and asked.

"Of course..." Li opened her mouth to retort, but suddenly her heart stopped and she was speechless.

"My grandfather Wen Zhenggong was entrusted by Renzong to review the long-standing shortcomings of the Song Dynasty and implement the Qingli New Deal. But now the redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses of the Song Dynasty have been solved, Xixia has been pacified, and the sixteen states of Yanyun have been recovered? Why did the Fan family We must keep silent about the reform."

"The elders educate your nephew with the ancestral precepts and family property. However, these family property and ancestral precepts were all obtained through my grandfather's reforms, including the official positions of my father and two uncles. Aren't the official positions of your brothers a legacy of my grandfather's reforms? ?But now my Fan family refuses to talk about reform!"

"My Fan family has been deeply favored by the emperor and has not repaid it. The long-standing disadvantages of the Song Dynasty remain the same. The Fan family enjoys the glory gained by grandfather's reform, but now they avoid the word reform like a snake or scorpion. They even obstructed my nephew from becoming a forensic doctor. What an irony. Is this my grandfather’s family motto?”

Fan Zheng's series of rhetorical questions made everyone in the Fan family look ashamed.

"My Fan family has never been shy about talking about reform, because it was a denial of my grandfather."

"My Fan family has never been shy about talking about the reform and the insult to my grandfather."

"I, Fan Zheng, am proud of my grandfather's reform. I will never say anything about the reform, nor will I stop reforming the medical family. This reform of the medical family is the responsibility of my nephew, and I will never implicate the Fan family."

After Fan Zheng finished speaking, he took his mother Ma and left the grand Prime Minister's Mansion with his head held high.

"If you two brothers-in-law just don't care, it will make the world think of my Fan family." Li said unwillingly.

Fan Chunren was silent for a moment and said: "Becoming a forensic doctor is just a child's play. My Fan family cannot survive this kind of turmoil!"

Fan Chunchuan immediately understood what his second brother meant. Fan Zheng was of the younger generation and was an insignificant doctor who advocated reform. He defined it as the angry words of a young man who was wronged.

Looking at Fan Zheng's leaving figure, Fan Chunren suddenly realized that when his father was determined to implement the Qingli New Deal, his back was equally determined.

Now that his father's last wish has not been fulfilled, Empress Dowager Gao is about to grow old, and the new emperor is about to take over the throne, it is not a bad thing for Fan Zheng to step forward and become a forensic doctor.

"After the Fan family, this son is the only one who is most like his father!" Fan Chun said with a complex expression.
