The three of them were walking in the suburbs. The beautiful scenery just now had not changed, but everyone lost their appreciation. When they were almost in the city, Zhu Chun asked, "Is that child really hopeless?"

Xia Ziling was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Sorry, I can't do anything." He just read a few medical miscellaneous books, and it's okay to prescribe a small prescription to cure a cold. For such a serious illness, he can only be anxious.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm afraid Hua Tuo can't cure him while he's alive?" Mu Sheng finished speaking and looked at Xia Ziling, who nodded.

That's right, that child was already dying of illness. Even though Xia Ziling was just a half bottle of jealousy, he was surrounded by the death aura of the dead, and even Mu Sheng who didn't understand medicine could see it, so he could still see it.

In fact, when Zhu Chun asked this question, he didn't really hope that the child could be cured. It was just that he encountered such a thing when he went to the people for the first time, and he was inevitably a little bit frustrated.

The three walked back to the imperial city silently, but none of them accused Zhongdu of staying behind for negligence.In this matter, even the collapse of the imperial city wall, it is true that the central government did something wrong, but Xia Ziling can understand his difficulties if he is in the same situation.

The biggest instigator of this incident was Zhu Yuanzhang himself.Although Emperor Hongwu was wise and brave, it does not mean that he would not do wrong things. The establishment of the Central Capital and the relocation of the population were some of the minor mistakes he did.

However, Zhongdu stayed behind and dared to write a letter saying: Your Majesty, Fengyang is a remote place that cannot afford to support so many people. Is it wrong for you to move so many people here?Even if you give him ten heads, he probably wouldn't dare.He has been left behind in Zhongdu successively. He is not the first, nor will he be the last. Everyone else has to muddle through. Why should he be the first bird?So in his tenure, it is good to hide it for three to five years, so that he can live safely.

At any rate, he can think of the limited supply of medicinal materials and other scarce items, so that everyone flocks to buy them and there is a chaotic scene of cannibalism, which is not bad.

"Okay, let's go back home today." Zhu Chun paused, "Xia Ziling, no matter what, you should buy some medicinal materials and send them to that family tomorrow."

"Yes." In fact, Zhu Chun didn't say anything, he was going to do it.Although the child was hopeless, at least he would be less tortured and let him walk more easily with some anti-itch and pain-relieving medicines.

Seeing Zhu Chun walk into the mansion with a sad face, Xia Ziling suddenly felt a little emotional. Although Zhu Chun is still young, he is already very conscious of worrying about the country and the people. If he really becomes the emperor as the unofficial history said, he should also Will it be a generation of Mingjun?

However, it was recorded in the wild history that if he ascended to the throne, he would die of illness four years later... Thinking of this, Xia Ziling quickly calmed down and forced himself not to think about it.No matter what...it has nothing to do with me, right?

What I saw in the suburbs that day and the problems in the central capital have been accumulated for a long time, and there is no good way to deal with them for the time being, so the three of them did not mention them afterward.Zhu Chun was suddenly very active in Xia Ziling's previous suggestion to discuss literature and history with celebrities. Xia Ziling stepped up preparations after reviewing martial arts, and finally built a pavilion in the mansion where the King of Shu stayed seven days later as a place to discuss literature and history.

After choosing a place, it is natural to choose a name. The day before the meeting, Xia Ziling asked Zhu Chun to write a name in person.Without hesitation, Zhu Chun wrote the word "Xitang" with a stroke of the pen.

Xia Ziling was carrying the scroll with wet ink on it, not knowing what to say.This place faces west, but this guy can't just be so perfunctory and call it "Xitang" directly, right?The flamboyant and phoenix dancing characters on the paper are beautifully written, but...

"My lord, for such a prudent place, wouldn't the name be simpler?"

Zhu Chun stared at it, "Then what do you think is a good name?"

Xia Ziling thought hard about a cup of tea, and said, "Since we want to discuss Yuan History, why not call it 'Yuan Shi Tang'? Or 'History Hall'? Or 'Chunqiu Hall'?"

"...or West Hall."

Thus, the name of this place was settled.In the afternoon of the next day, Xia Ziling first invited the invited celebrities into the hall, and soon after, the king of Shu also came in.

"Hello, my lord." Seeing the king of Shu entering, all the scholars stood up and saluted.

Zhu Chun glanced around, and now the editor-in-chief of the revision of the Yuan History in Zhongdu, Su Boheng, Li Shujing and other bachelors, have all arrived.

"Didn't you say there were six gentlemen, why only five?"

Xia Ziling coughed in embarrassment, "Uh... one of them happened to be ill."

"Oh?" Zhu Chun said in a drawn-out tone, as if she didn't intend to take the matter lightly.

Li Shujing heard the words and said, "The one who hasn't arrived is Zhou Ting?"

Xia Ziling nodded helplessly, "Exactly."

Speaking of it, it was a coincidence that he was preparing for the discussion of literature and history between the King of Shu and the famous scholars, when he heard that a new doctor had arrived from the Ministry of Industry in the Central Capital. . (1) After inquiring, it turned out that it was Zhou Ting who came instead of friends not getting together.

Su Boheng said: "Zhou Ting? But the only son of Zhou Xing's family?" After Song Lian became an official, Su Boheng became a bachelor of the Imperial Academy because of his recommendation, and he was very famous among scholars.

Li Shujing nodded, "That's the kid. That kid is more energetic than his father, but he has a tricky temper."

"Yes, I remember when you said that." Su Boheng paused, and said, "Many years ago, when he was still young, Jing Lian (that is, Song Lian's character) mentioned him to me, saying that the child's literary skills are excellent. There is a law, it’s great to grow up, why is he also in Zhongdu?”

"A few days ago, there was a vacancy in the position of doctor in the Ministry of Industry in the Central Capital. I heard that Zhao Mao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, recommended him and promoted him to fill the vacancy."

After Li Shujing finished speaking, Su Boheng showed regret, but said nothing more.The doctor of the Ministry of Industry is a fifth-rank official, and an imperial scholar like Li Shujing is only a fifth-rank. Civil servants are different from military officials. award.

But this doctor from the Ministry of Industry works in Zhongdu, so it is very intriguing.Before, because of the posthumous title of the empress, Emperor Hongwu asked Zhao Mao to cultivate Zhou Ting, and he was really "attentive" and recommended him so quickly.However, the Ministry of Industry is at the end of the Sixth Department, and it is in charge of construction and repairs, which is incompatible with literary talents. It is a big mistake to let a literati like Zhou Ting mix in the Ministry of Industry. The decoration is either for old age, or for someone who has made a mistake and fell out of favor. Zhou Ting stays here at a young age. After a year or two, the emperor forgets about this person. I don’t know how long this stay will last. , It's a waste of time.
