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

"For those who are married, a hundred sticks will be used to divorce them."

With the publication of official documents from the imperial court, this decree spread throughout the Song Dynasty as quickly as possible.

Normally, it would definitely cause an uproar. After all, there were too many cases of in-person marriages in the Song Dynasty. However, what spread faster than the official documents of the imperial court were Fan Zheng's two "Hairheaded Phoenix".

On the one hand, there was an uproar over the prohibition of incest, and on the other hand, there was the tragic "Hairheaded Phoenix". The two uproar clashed with each other, and it was only then that public opinion was controlled within a certain range.

Despite this, undercurrents are still surging among the people, and Fan Chunli, the minister of official affairs, has become the target of public criticism.

In this context, Empress Dowager Gao ordered Fan Chunli to be transferred to the Tianzhang Pavilion to be appointed as the emperor, and left the capital to know Bozhou. The court approved Fan Chunli's appointment in the shortest possible time, and he took up the post on the same day.

"Have a nice trip, Dad!"

Outside Fan Mansion, Fan Zheng bid farewell to his father and went to Bozhou to take up his post!

Fan Chunli looked at Fan Zheng deeply and said, "After your father leaves Beijing, you should not act impulsively. If you have any difficulties, you can discuss it with your second uncle!"

"My child understands!" Fan Zheng quickly stood at attention and expressed his stance.

"Master?" Ma said reluctantly.

Fan Chunli ordered: "You take care of Zheng'er at home first, and then you can take me over after my husband settles down in Bozhou!"

"Yes!"

Ma nodded with tears in her eyes.

Fan Chunli looked back at his wife and children, then rushed to Bozhou to take up his post.

After Fan Chunli left, only Fan Zheng and Ma family were left in Fan Mansion. Ma family seemed a little depressed.

"Mrs. Qi, please see Master Su Dun and Miss Li Qingzhao!" Suddenly, the housekeeper's report immediately made Ma's spirits a hundred times higher. The original depression due to Fan Chunli's departure from Beijing had long since disappeared.

"Who?" Ma said in disbelief.

"Master Su Dun and Miss Li Qingzhao!" Butler Fan repeated again.

Ma suddenly stood up and said, "This is Miss Li, who is known as the leading female poet in the Song Dynasty."

"Exactly!" Manager Fan nodded.

"Invite me quickly! No, I will invite you personally!" Ma said impatiently.

Li Qingzhao became famous at a young age and was a famous female talent in the Song Dynasty. She suppressed the younger generation of Kaifeng literary circles and could not hold their heads up. Which powerful family in Kaifeng city did not regard her as the best candidate for their daughter-in-law. However, Li Qingzhao had extremely high vision. In addition to his extremely high attainments in poetry, there is no young talent in Kaifeng City who can match him.

Originally, after Fan Zheng gave up writing and became a doctor, Ma family had long since stopped thinking about it. However, Fan Zheng's two poems "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix" amazed the city of Kaifeng and rekindled Ma family's hope.

"Mrs. Fan is well!"

Seeing Mr. Ma personally welcoming him, Li Qingzhao saluted.

"Well, she is indeed the most talented woman in the Song Dynasty. She is indeed well-educated and has a temperament like orchid." Ma was very happy when she saw her every move and abiding by etiquette, as if her mother-in-law had chosen her daughter-in-law.

Su Dun couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes. Ma only saw Li Qingzhao's disguised appearance, but did not see Li Qingzhao's poisonous tongue.

Li Qingzhao bowed his head shyly and said: "Madam, I'm sorry. This little girl has only read a few Four Books and Five Classics. She is not worthy of the title of the most talented woman in the Song Dynasty. Yesterday, Brother Fan's poem "The Hairpin-Headed Phoenix" shocked everyone. Not only the poems Hengyi also contains the way to heal the country and save the people of the world from the harm of incest marriage. That is the true way to care for the world. The little girl will let Su Dun be the one to introduce you today."

Li Qingzhao's compliments immediately made Ma feel like spring breeze. At that moment, he said from ear to ear: "My son Fan Zheng can read a thousand words at the age of three, memorize Tang poetry at the age of five, read the Four Books and Five Classics by the age of seven, and is proficient in poetry and poetry at the age of eight. ,...It's a pity that he was obsessed with medicine in the end, but it made me worry a lot. I thought he had given up literature and studied medicine, but I didn't expect that he would study both medicine and literature."

"Brother Fan is a great talent!" Li Qingzhao said with a strange expression. These words were originally used on her, but now they were used on Fan Zheng by Ma, leaving her unable to refute.

"Zheng'er is still reading medical books in the backyard. I'll send someone to call him right now!" Ma said warmly.

Li Qingzhao quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, brother Fan's medical skills are very important, how dare you ask him to trouble you!"

Ma's excessive enthusiasm made Li Qingzhao uncomfortable and he quickly winked at Su Dun.

Su Dun had no choice but to answer: "Madam, please be busy first. We can just go find Brother Fan by ourselves."

"OK then!"

Ma had no choice but to watch Li Qingzhao disappear into the backyard with regret.

"Godbrother, Miss Li!"

In the backyard, Fan Zheng was reading the medical book with great interest. When he saw the two people coming hand in hand, he couldn't help but express surprise.

"Brother Fan, why haven't you been to the Imperial Medical Bureau recently?" Su Dun stepped forward and asked loudly.

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "Why are you going? The Imperial Medical Bureau is not planning to expel Fan from the medical profession. If Fan continues to go, he will be humiliating himself."

Su Dun waved his hand and said: "Brother Fan doesn't know something now. Now the court has issued an order to divorce the married couple with a hundred sticks. This is enough to prove that Brother Fan's medical prescription is true. The Imperial Medical Bureau is Naturally, there is no reason to expel Brother Fan from medical status."

"This is natural!" Li Qingzhao agreed.

Su Dun changed his words and said: "However, Brother Fan's medical prescription is too unique and cannot be ranked at all, so I sent my younger brother to inform Brother Fan that tomorrow the Imperial Medical Bureau will retake the annual examination and recommend the best to be a Hanlin medical officer."

"Retake the annual exam?"

Fan Zheng couldn't help frowning.

"That's right! This time, the Imperial Physician personally asked me to invite Brother Fan to take the annual exam. I think Brother Fan also wants to prove his medical skills openly and openly!" Su Dun said seriously.

Fan Zheng thought for a long time and finally nodded: "Okay! I will take the annual exam on time tomorrow!"

He studied medicine for two lifetimes, and his predecessor was deeply influenced by his grandfather's philosophy of being a good doctor before he was a good person. He determined to be a good doctor. Fan Zheng decided to fulfill his predecessor's wish.

"Brother Fan really understands justice!" Li Qingzhao complimented.

"Miss Li came here today, it can be said that Fan Mansion is in full bloom!" Fan Zheng couldn't help but said in surprise when he saw Li Qingzhao.

In this era, men and women were deeply guarded. He did not expect that Li Qingzhao would come to Fan Mansion to look for him. Even if he followed Su Dun, it was still an extremely bold act.

Li Qingzhao said seriously: "Qingzhao came here today to seek medical treatment from Brother Fan!"

"Seek medical attention? Miss Li is not feeling well!"

Fan Zheng couldn't help but be stunned and asked in surprise.

Li Qingzhao shook his head and said: "What Qingzhao heals is not the body, but the poem."

"How do you say this?" Fan Zheng asked doubtfully.

Li Qingzhao said with an arrogant face: "Although Qingzhao is a woman, she has read many books since she was a child, and her poetry skills surpass those of the younger generation of men in Kaifeng's literary world. No one can match her."

"Miss Li is undoubtedly the most talented woman in our Song Dynasty." Fan Zheng said seriously. This sentence is not a compliment. Li Qingzhao's achievements, let alone the Song Dynasty, no woman in the past dynasties can compare with her.

Li Qingzhao's face darkened, and he said in a low voice: "However, although Qingzhao's poems are many, and most of them are excellent, none of them can be passed down through the ages, comparable to the poems of previous sages. Qingzhao came here today to ask Brother Fan to heal me with poems. Diagnose what the problem is.”

"Looking at the famous works of the predecessors that can be passed down through the ages, most of them are based on the author's personal experience and sentiments. But we are still young, so in terms of experience and knowledge, naturally we are far behind. As for Fan, it is just sentiments. Miss Li was still very young when she wrote "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix" due to the harm of being married. In time, her poems will naturally spread throughout the world." Fan Zheng consoled her.

"Originally I thought so too, but Brother Fan and Qingzhao are similar in age, but the two hairpin-headed phoenixes have amazed the world and been passed down through the ages!" Li Qingzhao stood up and saluted Fan Zheng solemnly.

Fan Zheng hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "Articles are made by nature, but come by chance with a good hand! How can poetry and lyrics be as good as medical diagnosis and prescription?"

"The article was originally made by nature, but it was found by chance! Brother Fan changed the word "wu cheng" in Du Fu's poem to "tiancheng". It was just one word difference, and the artistic conception was extremely sublimated." Li Qingzhao's eyes flashed, "Brother Fan can even treat Du Fu's poem. , it seems that I did not make a mistake when I came to see Brother Fan."

"Yes! Brother Fan, you can write such an amazing poem as "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix", so you must have your own opinions. Why don't you just tell me about it, and Junior Sister may be able to draw parallels."

Su Dun helped by saying, not only Li Qingzhao, but even he didn't want to know the reason. After knowing that he was Su Shi, who was famous all over the world, the title of "tiger father and dog son" already made him unbearable, and he also eagerly wanted to know the truth. To prove your talent.

"Uh!" Fan Zheng looked at the two people with fiery eyes and understood that he would not be able to pass this test if he didn't talk about his ugly appearance today.

"In this case, Fan will analyze it for you. First of all, writing poetry is naturally related to knowledge. However, both of them have profound family backgrounds and have learned poetry since childhood. In particular, Miss Li is the leading female poet in Kaifeng, so there is no such thing. The problem of insufficient knowledge." Fan Zheng thought for a while.

Li Qingzhao nodded. She believed that her knowledge was not inferior to anyone else's. Although her poems often surpassed those of many young talents, she did not have a single masterpiece.

"As for experience and knowledge, it cannot be increased in a short time." Fan Zheng spread his hands and said.

Su Dun couldn't help but look sad. This was indeed a disadvantage of their younger generation.

Fan Zheng looked at Li Qingzhao and said with a thought: "In addition to knowledge and experience, there is also a method that famous writers often use when writing poems! Maybe you haven't used it yet!"

"What method?" The two of them suddenly said with surprise on their faces.

"Drink!" Fan Zheng said every word.

"Drink?" The two of them were dumbfounded. Drinking alcohol can write an eternal masterpiece. What kind of evil recipe is this?

Especially Li Qingzhao's face turned red. In the secular world, most of the people who drink are men, but it is a bit criticized for women to drink!

Fan Zheng explained: "Wine is the introduction to poetry! Since ancient times, wine and poetry have been inseparable, from Cao Cao's "How Only Du Kang Can Relieve Worry," to Li Bai's "Thousands of Poems about Fighting over Wine," and "The Drunkard's Pavilion" by Ouyang Xiu, his predecessor, is even more beautiful. Not to mention, when we look through the poems of Su Da Shi, how many people write poems after drinking alcohol? Nowadays, Miss Li’s poetry has reached a bottleneck. I don’t know how long it will take to accumulate a lot of knowledge. If you use wine as a medicine, it will not be tasted. You can’t find another way.”

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but think deeply. She had read all the masterpieces of previous generations and naturally knew that wine was the catalyst for poetry. However, as a young girl, she had a bad reputation for drinking and writing poetry, which made her worry a lot.

Fan Zheng certainly did not come up with bad ideas casually. Among the poems written by Li Qingzhao in later generations, there are countless famous poems about drinking and writing poems. He just pointed out this in advance.
