Master Daoyuan entered the torture chamber of the Neifusi and did not survive a whole day and night, so he had everything cleaned up.He was originally just a charlatan who wandered around, relying on his three-inch tongue to eat and drink.
More than half a year ago, he accidentally took the lintel of Prince Rui's Gu Zhi.
Prince Rui took a fancy to his ability, and sent him to the palace after going round and round, and asked him to pretend to be an outsider to treat the emperor.
In fact, the king didn't have any serious illness at first, but he didn't sleep well, his spirits were low, and he also had a lot of tonic, so he felt mentally tired, coupled with his suspicious nature, so he felt that the prescriptions used by the imperial physician were useless.
Na Daoyuan used some folk earthwork and gave the emperor a smell of burnt mint leaves. The emperor woke up and felt refreshed.
A few more words of deceit and deceit, really made the emperor think that he was the reincarnation of a god.Prince Rui saw that Daoyuan had gained the king's trust, and asked him to strike while the iron was hot, get rid of the seventh younger brother Gu Xiu who came from afar, drive him out of the palace, and never come back again.
So, Daoyuan followed his usual deception technique, made paintings with alum and dried them, and then soaked them in clear water mixed with ginger juice to make the so-called disaster star appearance.
The method that has never failed before, but this time, I don't know if he got carried away with complacency. When he was painting, his hands shook when he was drunk, and he painted the prince as the emperor.
As for why Gu Zhi wanted to get along with Gu Xiu, Dao Yuan didn't know.
The only way is for the king to investigate by himself. Gu Hong checked and checked and finally found out the incident of Hei Ling's madness on the Wanshou Festival that year.
His second son from a humble background, in order to show off in front of him, he did not hesitate to let the giant bear make a big disturbance in the Hanyuan Palace, causing countless deaths and injuries.
And the reason why Gu Zhi wanted to kill Gu Xiu was only because Gu Xiu stole the credit he had planned at the night banquet that day.
After Master Daoyuan confessed, King Gu Hong didn't say a word, he directly ordered someone to cut off the tongue of this liar who was bewitching the public, and asked him to walk through every palace road where rumors had been spread with that tongue. .A blood-stained tongue completely stopped the rumors about the catastrophe in the court.
Afterwards, Gu Hong ordered people to drag that tongue-losing mage Daoyuan to his second son, Gu Zhi, and beat him to death with sticks in front of his second son, Gu Zhi.
After Daoyuan's death, Gu Hong didn't leave a word about what to do with his second son, but just asked him to guard the battered corpse and think about it.
Gu Hong's anger towards the Taoist was because of Gu Xiu's serious illness.
As for Gu Zhi, the second son, he was even more disappointed.
He thought that these princes would one day fight with each other for the position of supremacy, but he never thought that his own flesh and blood would spare his life for the sake of supremacy.
The second son, like him, came from a low background, so he understood the second son's desire to seek a superior position.That's why when he was an adult, he was named the county king with him, and he also chose a princess from a famous family for him.
Ask yourself, what he gave the second son has far exceeded what the second son should have received.What else is he not satisfied with?To think so early about murdering the lord of the king and mutilating his brothers.
Gu Hong's treatment of Gu Shen still kept a trace of face.That bit of face is also reserved for the royal family.
First, the Ming decree took back the title of the county king and demoted him to the third-rank Jingyuan Marquis, and then moved his family to Lingnan, and he was not allowed to enter Beijing unless ordered.
As soon as the decree came out, Gu Zhi's gentle and loving adoptive mother, Concubine Xian, immediately declared that she had severed ties with Gu Zhi.
Gu Xiu, who was ill, was completely grounded by Gu Jin, and he had to sleep for six hours every day before he was allowed to get up.
During Gu Xiu's illness, he abandoned the small kitchen for three meals a day, and Gu Jin did everything himself.During the days when Gu Xiu was raising him, Gu You often came to visit Gu Xiu, and every time he came, he would bring all kinds of rare supplements donated by Concubine Li's mother's family, and come here for dinner under the banner of visiting the sick.
Before that, neither Gu Xiu nor Han Mochu had seen a whole rhinoceros horn, a whole rack of deer antlers, let alone the hundred-year-old wild ginseng that was as thick as a carrot.
For such gifts or rewards, Han Mochu never refused anyone who came, and put them all in the treasury.During the New Year's Eve, the treasures in these warehouses will be turned into ritual gifts and sent to the ministers and workers of the previous dynasty.
Han Mochu wanted everyone to remember that there was a noble seventh prince in the palace.
"Seventh brother, you give me that wooden tenon, it should be inserted here."
On a sunny morning, Gu You escaped Mr. Bai's class and came to Gu Xiu's room. He said it was a visit, but in fact it was just playing and eating.
The left and right are both sick and idle, so Han Mochu and the two children found a book about the secret art of organs in the Spring and Autumn Period, and made two pairs of movable wooden kite wings for the two children.
The two children regained their spirits in an instant, and insisted on making the lost Mohist organ bird.And not only to be a trick bird, but also a trick peacock, the kind that can open its screen.
"Not here, the bird's neck can't move if it gets stuck here."
Gu Xiu calmed down, carefully inserted the stick into the small hole on the other side, and carefully let go, the bird's neck was firmly stuck on the bird's body.
"Ah! The seventh brother is indeed the seventh brother! I just don't know..."
Gu You clapped his hands, and lightly pressed the wooden bird's head, only to hear a click, and the bird's head just installed fell off again.
Gu Xiu's face darkened, this was the fourth time he had installed this bird neck today.Looking at the mess on the table, Gu Xiu stretched out his hand and tugged on Han Mochu's sleeve, calling softly, "Master..."
"Okay, I understand." Han Mochu smiled, took the bird's neck, and searched for the crux of the problem according to the description in the book.
"Your Highness, Young Master Han, Your Highness Princess has arrived."
Hearing this, Gu Xiu and Gu You tidied up the table somewhat hastily, only Han Mochu remained calm and composed.
"Seventh brother, why did you get out of bed again? Still wearing unlined clothes?"
Sure enough, it was that familiar, guilty tone again.
"Elder Sister, I'm already healed now." Gu Xiu said he was done, and still resigned himself to his fate and crawled back to the bed.
"What's so good? There was a fire once yesterday evening, so you have to let the elder sister find someone to tie you up on the bed and you'll be honest?" Gu Jin angrily tucked the corner of the quilt for Gu Xiu, turned around and glanced at Gu You : "Why are you here at this hour? Did you skip class again?"
"Eldest sister, the seventh brother is ill, I am worried, we are dear and beloved brothers, how can I have the mind to go to class if he is not cured?" Gu You scratched his head with a playful smile: "Besides, Master Han is very knowledgeable, I will learn from him It's the same."
Gu You's words made Gu Xiu feel a strange chill in his heart.
What dearest?When it was clear that he was not sick, he did not see Gu You attending class for a few days.
Soon, Gu Jin noticed the overstuffed large wooden box under the empty table top, and a wooden carved bird's head stuck in the corner.
"Sixth brother, is this what you came to learn?" Gu Jin pointed to the parts in the big wooden box and asked, "Master Han, what kind of novelty is this?"
"Back to Your Highness, this is Mu Yuan. I saw His Highness Qi was sick and bored, so I made it to make him happy."
"That's all." Gu Jin shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and said, "Come in and set the meal."
Outside the door, four or five young palace maids filed in, and placed six exquisite meals with meat and vegetables on the round table inside the room.
Gu Xiu was wearing a robe, and sat at the small table, four people in a room, it can be regarded as enjoyable.
"By the way, Eldest Sister, is the Second Emperor's brother leaving Beijing today or tomorrow?" Gu You raised his head with a piece of stewed pork ribs in his mouth.
"It's today, but the imperial father ordered that no one should send him off. What are you going to do?" Gu Jin put two green vegetables in the empty plates of the two teenagers.
"I don't want to do anything, but I just feel that this matter is unclear, and the seventh brother has never provoked him." Gu You glanced at the green vegetable leaves in disgust, and threw a chopstick into Gu Xiu's plate.
"Gu You, pinch it back for me." Gu Jin glanced sideways and slapped the table: "Aren't you ashamed to be a picky eater at this age?"
"It's okay, elder sister, I like to eat this." After Gu Xiu finished speaking, he put two green vegetables into his mouth.
"That's right, the seventh brother likes to eat green vegetables!" Gu You winked at Gu Xiu, and Gu Jin slapped his back firmly: "You, eat honestly."
*****
At night, Gu Xiu leaned on the couch to study his homework, and Han Mochu rolled up his trousers and changed dressing on his knees.
On the table was a half-finished wooden bird, which was the masterpiece of Han Mochu's whole afternoon.But there is still some distance from a peacock that can only open its tail.
"Your Highness's knee injury has healed a lot, and I don't think there is any need to change the dressing tomorrow. But the soup and medicine can't be saved." Han Mochu wiped the ointment on his hands, put down Gu Xiu's rolled-up trousers, and put the warm medicine on his hands The decoction in the urn was brought over.
"Actually, it wasn't that serious in the first place. I didn't get sick a few times when the water in the northern wasteland turned into ice. I didn't even take medicine for acne." Gu Xiu closed the book in his hand, held the medicine bowl in his hand, and kept There was an indescribable sadness on the face of the serious little wolf cub: "Does this have to be drunk?"
"Your Highness, I boiled the medicine." Han Mochu dragged Gu Xiu's wrist, and pushed the bowl of medicine to the young man's lips: "Hold your breath and swallow it."
"Master." Gu Xiu's cold eyes were suddenly covered with a hint of begging.
"Your Highness is really not burning?"
"It's really not burning."
Han Mochu sighed, brought the medicine bowl over, raised his head and drank the bitter medicine juice, then raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth: "This is not an example."
"Ah."
Han Mochu tidied away the books that Gu Xiu had spread out on the bed, helped the person lie down, covered the quilt for him, and said softly, "Your Highness, what allusion would you like to hear today?"
"I want to hear how Master turned the prince in the painting into an emperor." Gu Xiu half-closed his eyes and said.
"The painting was not made by the minister, but someone complained for His Highness." Han Mochu said.
"Then, who is it?"
"Yes, a person His Highness can't think of." Han Mochu smiled and touched Gu Xiu's forehead: "Your Highness, I think it's the manifestation of the Patriarch of the Sanqing."
"Just don't say anything, don't treat me like a sixth brother." Gu Xiu tilted his head, and fell asleep under the caress of Han Mochu's palm.
In fact, Han Mochu didn't know who the specific person who tampered with that painting was, but Han Mochu had already started to make preparations for the ceremony that day.
More than a month ago, he first found a non-painful excuse to go to the imperial hospital to get medicine, and then "coincidentally" met Lord Wang Xing, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, along the way.
As long as Han Mochu's purpose is clear, it's easy for people to fall in love with him at first sight.
Later, the two of them took advantage of the waiting time to get the medicine, and chatted for a while in the imperial hospital. During the chat, they talked about Han Mochu's encounter with charlatans when he was a teenager, and the tricks of those scammers were the same. Tell Wang Xing everything.
For example, ghosts appearing, taking medicine out of thin air, making fire with bare hands and so on.
The more Wang Xuan listened, the more he felt that Master Daoyuan was like the charlatan Han Mochu said.I am also more and more eager to pull that sanctimonious old man off the altar, it is best to step on it forever and never turn over.
The one who had the same idea was the Imperial Physician Order Zhang Ji.
In order to win this Taoist priest, both the Tai Hospital and the Qin Tianjian made a lot of embarrassment in front of the emperor.
Later, Han Mochu uttered a few clues from a young eunuch who served near Yuxuan Palace, and learned that Master Daoyuan had sent people to get alum outside the palace. What kind of trick is Master Yuan going to use to pour dirty water on people?
Han Mochu didn't get angry at that time, but just found an opportunity to spread the news quietly.By the way, he leaked the black case that the king hadn't thoroughly investigated earlier to the steward of Zhenyuan who almost lost his head because of it.
Then, as if he had never done anything, he quietly waited for everything to happen naturally.
When doing these things, Han Mochu thought of this clumsy dilemma for Gu Zhi more than once,
Gu Xiu was already in a deep sleep, Han Mochu turned off two lights in the house, sat at the table by the light of the oil lamp and continued to tie the tail with the wooden kite.The peacock's tail was only five inches long because of insufficient materials.
When Gu Xiu got up the next day, a short-tailed peacock with its tail spread was standing on the head of his bed, and Han Mochu fell asleep on the table beside him.
In the winter, the epidemic in central Beijing intensified, and the death toll was almost thousands.Just when the doctors were at a loss, a clinic called Suhe suddenly opened in the downtown area of Beijing.
There was only one sitting doctor in that clinic, a handsome young man.
That medical center specializes in treating epidemic diseases, and one dose of medicine only costs twelve yuan, and eight out of ten people will be cured if three doses are used.
After coming and going, the small medical clinic became famous.
On the day of the winter solstice that year, Yin Jiangli of the Jingzhao Mansion reported the matter to the king. The king was overjoyed and immediately ordered the young man to enter the palace.
The young man walked into the imperial city in such a grand manner, and stood in front of the Xuanzheng Hall of the Emperor's Dynasty Council.
The king stared at the people under the court and looked again and again, only to see that he was wearing a half-worn narrow-sleeved blouse, wooden hairpins, and a half-new medicine box hanging on his shoulders. head, but the eyes are obviously not idle at all, and they have been looking around the hall.
"Ahem." Gu Hong covered his mouth and coughed, originally to signal the young man not to look around.Unexpectedly, the young man knelt down on the ground, hit his head on the brick floor with a loud bang, and still shouted loudly: "The grassroots Su Che, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor! Long live, long live, long live, long live, my emperor! "
Su Che's act of a grassroots person who has never seen the world at all caused the nobles in the court to hold back a burst of laughter.
Gu Hong also almost laughed out loud, and could only resist raising his hand to the ground: "There's no need to be too polite, Su Qing is fine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Che got up on both hands and feet, and then stood on the spot with his head down.
"Su Qing, do you know why I summoned you today?"
"This... Caomin heard from Mrs. Jiang that Caomin was asked to enter the palace to eliminate the disease in the palace." Su Che patted his medicine box as he said, "I just don't know who to settle the medical expenses for?"
This move completely caused everyone to burst into laughter.Gu Hong also laughed out loud: "Yes, I want you to come to the palace to get rid of the epidemic, but how do you calculate your medical expenses?"
"Well, the medicine fee is 36 yuan per person." Su Che said while counting roughly with his fingers: "The outpatient fee is one tael per person. If you are seriously ill, add another [-] yuan."
"It seems that Su Qing is not a greedy person." Sitting on the dragon chair, Gu Hong was already overjoyed in his heart, and on the surface he had to put on a look of knowing people and being responsible: "Well, if you can get rid of For the disease in the palace, not only will I give you medical expenses, but I will also give you a hundred taels of gold as a reward."
Hearing this, Su Che knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed repeatedly in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!"
This face of a commoner who has never seen the world is the most reassuring look for King Gu Hong.
Su Che then began to brazenly roam around the imperial city of Da Zhou, not only treating diseases, but occasionally responding to the invitation of a few nobles in the palace, curing some unspeakable strange diseases, and prescribing some beauty-preserving and health-preserving prescriptions , earn some extra money.
After wandering around, they finally arrived at Guiyun Palace where Han Mochu lived.
It was a warm afternoon at sunset, Su Che knocked on the gate of Guiyun Palace with a broken medicine box on his back.I saw Han Mochu who had already made tea in the main room and had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Oh, Ziran, long time no see." Su Che naturally found an open space in the messy main room and sat down.
Gu Xiu found that Su Che was the only one who saw this main room with no emotion on his face.
"You've been wandering in this palace for so many days, and you finally remembered?" Han Mochu and Su Che poured a cup of tea, and then said to Gu Xiu beside him, "Your Highness, this is what I mentioned to you in the past." That Doctor Su."
Su Che was stunned for a while, looking at Gu Xiu who had a face of not approaching strangers and cold eyes, carefully tugged at Han Mochu's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Well, Ziran, he doesn't bite, does he?"
"Su Changru." Han Mochu gave Su Che a sideways glance, and Su Che immediately became serious, and bowed to Gu Xiu in a big salute: "The grass-roots Su Che, I have met His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."
"Mr. Su, you don't have to be polite." Gu Xiu raised his hand to support Su Che who was grabbing the ground with his head, and his eyes became as friendly as possible.
"Aren't you going to hide from the world at Baiming Mountain? Why do you think of going to Beijing?" Han Mochu pushed the filled teacup towards Su Che.
"Sir asked me to come. Mr. said that there is a lot of rain in the south this summer, and there must be a big epidemic in Beijing, so he threw me here. He also said that he wanted me to stay here to help you and finish what you have to do as soon as possible. " Su Che tilted his body and leaned comfortably against the messy book wall behind him.
Han Mo glanced at the person for the first time, then looked at Gu Xiu who was opposite, and asked softly, "How is your year sir?"
"Okay, sir is very good. If it wasn't for Mrs. Sun Yang's refusal to obey, I would probably get married." Su Che rolled over and sat up, and saw the short-tailed peacock that Han Mochu made for Gu Xiu at a glance: "These It’s been a year, why are your skills still so poor? Why are you making a chicken with a bald tail?”
"That's a peacock." Han Mochu said coldly.
"What peacock? You are someone who has seen a real peacock, how can you still have such a virtue? How does this thing look like a peacock up and down?" Su Che picked up the wooden kite and checked it repeatedly, then turned to Gu Xiu Yang Yang's neck: "What did your Highness say? How does this look like a peacock?"
"I think it's very similar." Gu Xiu's eyes instantly became sharp, as if a few flying needles were flying straight towards Su Che who was opposite.It made him shiver involuntarily.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Su Che hastily dug out a small wooden box from the interlayer of the broken medicine box, which contained preserved peaches and dried plums: "Hey, sir asked me to bring it to you, saying it was when you left The uneaten ones were dried and made into candied fruit for you, and I didn't share any extra bites."
Looking at the candied fruit in the box, Han Mochu's eyes warmed up.He thought of the days and nights on Baiming Mountain. Every year, the trees in the mountain would bloom and bear fruit. Mr. Yi would always take him and Su Che to pick them. At that time, the rule was that one person would ride on Mr.'s neck to pick three and exchange for another. For one person, if he cheats and refuses to come down, the fruits of the next year will be distributed to another person.When one tree is plucked, another tree will be plucked, and finally distributed according to the number.Even after the two of them are adults, Mr. Yi will treat them as if they were children, and use those fresh fruits to make them happy.
When he left last year, those fruits were still immature, and he was still thinking about going here, maybe he would not be able to eat them in ten or eight years.Now the taste of this box of candied fruit is probably the taste that someone misses.
Han Mochu took the small wooden box and reached out to pick up a prunes, put it in his mouth without thinking.
An extremely pungent sour taste instantly erupted and spread in the mouth, causing Han Mochu to frown: "Ahem, it's so sour."
Han Mochu managed to regain his composure, picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth, it was sour and hot, which made Han Mochu's eye circles red.
Su Che shook his head again and again: "Oh, no wonder Mr. said that tears filled your eyes when you ate it."
"Su Changru, did you know it was sour?" Han Mochu narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Che.
"I really don't know about this, and I haven't tasted it." Su Che shrank back, "Oh, by the way, how much of your bottle of Promise Pill is left? If it's gone, I'll get you another bottle."
"Stop talking nonsense, I just want to ask you if you already knew that candied fruit is sour." Han Mochu squinted his eyes and picked up Su Che's collar.
"Han Ziran, you believe me, I really don't know!" Su Che took Han Mochu's wrist, kicked his foot, and broke free from Han Mochu's grip: "Your Highness, Your Highness is still watching, you can't be violent in front of His Highness." ah."
Su Che pointed at Gu Xiu who was sitting opposite, trying to make Han Mochu give up.
Gu Xiu glanced at him, and turned his body indifferently in front of him.
Gu Xiu didn't want to care about Mr. Su's life and death, because who told him to call the short-tailed peacock his master worked so hard to call a bald-tailed peacock?
Su Che looked at the smiling Han Mochu in despair, and his heart sank.
As the sun was setting, several shrill screams came from Guiyun Palace.
More than half a year ago, he accidentally took the lintel of Prince Rui's Gu Zhi.
Prince Rui took a fancy to his ability, and sent him to the palace after going round and round, and asked him to pretend to be an outsider to treat the emperor.
In fact, the king didn't have any serious illness at first, but he didn't sleep well, his spirits were low, and he also had a lot of tonic, so he felt mentally tired, coupled with his suspicious nature, so he felt that the prescriptions used by the imperial physician were useless.

So, Daoyuan followed his usual deception technique, made paintings with alum and dried them, and then soaked them in clear water mixed with ginger juice to make the so-called disaster star appearance.
The method that has never failed before, but this time, I don't know if he got carried away with complacency. When he was painting, his hands shook when he was drunk, and he painted the prince as the emperor.

After Daoyuan's death, Gu Hong didn't leave a word about what to do with his second son, but just asked him to guard the battered corpse and think about it.
Gu Hong's anger towards the Taoist was because of Gu Xiu's serious illness.
As for Gu Zhi, the second son, he was even more disappointed.
He thought that these princes would one day fight with each other for the position of supremacy, but he never thought that his own flesh and blood would spare his life for the sake of supremacy.

For such gifts or rewards, Han Mochu never refused anyone who came, and put them all in the treasury.During the New Year's Eve, the treasures in these warehouses will be turned into ritual gifts and sent to the ministers and workers of the previous dynasty.

"What's so good? There was a fire once yesterday evening, so you have to let the elder sister find someone to tie you up on the bed and you'll be honest?" Gu Jin angrily tucked the corner of the quilt for Gu Xiu, turned around and glanced at Gu You : "Why are you here at this hour? Did you skip class again?"

Outside the door, four or five young palace maids filed in, and placed six exquisite meals with meat and vegetables on the round table inside the room.
Gu Xiu was wearing a robe, and sat at the small table, four people in a room, it can be regarded as enjoyable.

Han Mochu wiped the ointment on his hands, put down Gu Xiu's rolled-up trousers, and put the warm medicine on his hands The decoction in the urn was brought over.
"Actually, it wasn't that serious in the first place. I didn't get sick a few times when the water in the northern wasteland turned into ice. I didn't even take medicine for acne." Gu Xiu closed the book in his hand, held the medicine bowl in his hand, and kept There was an indescribable sadness on the face of the serious little wolf cub: "Does this have to be drunk?"
"Your Highness, I boiled the medicine." Han Mochu dragged Gu Xiu's wrist, and pushed the bowl of medicine to the young man's lips: "Hold your breath and swallow it."
"Master." Gu Xiu's cold eyes were suddenly covered with a hint of begging.
"Your Highness is really not burning?"
"It's really not burning."
Han Mochu sighed, brought the medicine bowl over, raised his head and drank the bitter medicine juice, then raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth: "This is not an example."
"Ah."
Han Mochu tidied away the books that Gu Xiu had spread out on the bed, helped the person lie down, covered the quilt for him, and said softly, "Your Highness, what allusion would you like to hear today?"
"I want to hear how Master turned the prince in the painting into an emperor." Gu Xiu half-closed his eyes and said.
"The painting was not made by the minister, but someone complained for His Highness." Han Mochu said.
"Then, who is it?"
"Yes, a person His Highness can't think of." Han Mochu smiled and touched Gu Xiu's forehead: "Your Highness, I think it's the manifestation of the Patriarch of the Sanqing."
"Just don't say anything, don't treat me like a sixth brother." Gu Xiu tilted his head, and fell asleep under the caress of Han Mochu's palm.
In fact, Han Mochu didn't know who the specific person who tampered with that painting was, but Han Mochu had already started to make preparations for the ceremony that day.
More than a month ago, he first found a non-painful excuse to go to the imperial hospital to get medicine, and then "coincidentally" met Lord Wang Xing, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, along the way.
As long as Han Mochu's purpose is clear, it's easy for people to fall in love with him at first sight.
Later, the two of them took advantage of the waiting time to get the medicine, and chatted for a while in the imperial hospital. During the chat, they talked about Han Mochu's encounter with charlatans when he was a teenager, and the tricks of those scammers were the same. Tell Wang Xing everything.
For example, ghosts appearing, taking medicine out of thin air, making fire with bare hands and so on.
The more Wang Xuan listened, the more he felt that Master Daoyuan was like the charlatan Han Mochu said.I am also more and more eager to pull that sanctimonious old man off the altar, it is best to step on it forever and never turn over.
The one who had the same idea was the Imperial Physician Order Zhang Ji.
In order to win this Taoist priest, both the Tai Hospital and the Qin Tianjian made a lot of embarrassment in front of the emperor.
Later, Han Mochu uttered a few clues from a young eunuch who served near Yuxuan Palace, and learned that Master Daoyuan had sent people to get alum outside the palace. What kind of trick is Master Yuan going to use to pour dirty water on people?
Han Mochu didn't get angry at that time, but just found an opportunity to spread the news quietly.By the way, he leaked the black case that the king hadn't thoroughly investigated earlier to the steward of Zhenyuan who almost lost his head because of it.
Then, as if he had never done anything, he quietly waited for everything to happen naturally.
When doing these things, Han Mochu thought of this clumsy dilemma for Gu Zhi more than once,
Gu Xiu was already in a deep sleep, Han Mochu turned off two lights in the house, sat at the table by the light of the oil lamp and continued to tie the tail with the wooden kite.The peacock's tail was only five inches long because of insufficient materials.
When Gu Xiu got up the next day, a short-tailed peacock with its tail spread was standing on the head of his bed, and Han Mochu fell asleep on the table beside him.
In the winter, the epidemic in central Beijing intensified, and the death toll was almost thousands.Just when the doctors were at a loss, a clinic called Suhe suddenly opened in the downtown area of Beijing.
There was only one sitting doctor in that clinic, a handsome young man.
That medical center specializes in treating epidemic diseases, and one dose of medicine only costs twelve yuan, and eight out of ten people will be cured if three doses are used.
After coming and going, the small medical clinic became famous.
On the day of the winter solstice that year, Yin Jiangli of the Jingzhao Mansion reported the matter to the king. The king was overjoyed and immediately ordered the young man to enter the palace.
The young man walked into the imperial city in such a grand manner, and stood in front of the Xuanzheng Hall of the Emperor's Dynasty Council.
The king stared at the people under the court and looked again and again, only to see that he was wearing a half-worn narrow-sleeved blouse, wooden hairpins, and a half-new medicine box hanging on his shoulders. head, but the eyes are obviously not idle at all, and they have been looking around the hall.
"Ahem." Gu Hong covered his mouth and coughed, originally to signal the young man not to look around.Unexpectedly, the young man knelt down on the ground, hit his head on the brick floor with a loud bang, and still shouted loudly: "The grassroots Su Che, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor! Long live, long live, long live, long live, my emperor! "
Su Che's act of a grassroots person who has never seen the world at all caused the nobles in the court to hold back a burst of laughter.
Gu Hong also almost laughed out loud, and could only resist raising his hand to the ground: "There's no need to be too polite, Su Qing is fine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Che got up on both hands and feet, and then stood on the spot with his head down.
"Su Qing, do you know why I summoned you today?"
"This... Caomin heard from Mrs. Jiang that Caomin was asked to enter the palace to eliminate the disease in the palace." Su Che patted his medicine box as he said, "I just don't know who to settle the medical expenses for?"
This move completely caused everyone to burst into laughter.Gu Hong also laughed out loud: "Yes, I want you to come to the palace to get rid of the epidemic, but how do you calculate your medical expenses?"
"Well, the medicine fee is 36 yuan per person." Su Che said while counting roughly with his fingers: "The outpatient fee is one tael per person. If you are seriously ill, add another [-] yuan."
"It seems that Su Qing is not a greedy person." Sitting on the dragon chair, Gu Hong was already overjoyed in his heart, and on the surface he had to put on a look of knowing people and being responsible: "Well, if you can get rid of For the disease in the palace, not only will I give you medical expenses, but I will also give you a hundred taels of gold as a reward."
Hearing this, Su Che knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed repeatedly in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!"
This face of a commoner who has never seen the world is the most reassuring look for King Gu Hong.
Su Che then began to brazenly roam around the imperial city of Da Zhou, not only treating diseases, but occasionally responding to the invitation of a few nobles in the palace, curing some unspeakable strange diseases, and prescribing some beauty-preserving and health-preserving prescriptions , earn some extra money.
After wandering around, they finally arrived at Guiyun Palace where Han Mochu lived.
It was a warm afternoon at sunset, Su Che knocked on the gate of Guiyun Palace with a broken medicine box on his back.I saw Han Mochu who had already made tea in the main room and had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Oh, Ziran, long time no see." Su Che naturally found an open space in the messy main room and sat down.
Gu Xiu found that Su Che was the only one who saw this main room with no emotion on his face.
"You've been wandering in this palace for so many days, and you finally remembered?" Han Mochu and Su Che poured a cup of tea, and then said to Gu Xiu beside him, "Your Highness, this is what I mentioned to you in the past." That Doctor Su."
Su Che was stunned for a while, looking at Gu Xiu who had a face of not approaching strangers and cold eyes, carefully tugged at Han Mochu's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Well, Ziran, he doesn't bite, does he?"
"Su Changru." Han Mochu gave Su Che a sideways glance, and Su Che immediately became serious, and bowed to Gu Xiu in a big salute: "The grass-roots Su Che, I have met His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."
"Mr. Su, you don't have to be polite." Gu Xiu raised his hand to support Su Che who was grabbing the ground with his head, and his eyes became as friendly as possible.
"Aren't you going to hide from the world at Baiming Mountain? Why do you think of going to Beijing?" Han Mochu pushed the filled teacup towards Su Che.
"Sir asked me to come. Mr. said that there is a lot of rain in the south this summer, and there must be a big epidemic in Beijing, so he threw me here. He also said that he wanted me to stay here to help you and finish what you have to do as soon as possible. " Su Che tilted his body and leaned comfortably against the messy book wall behind him.
Han Mo glanced at the person for the first time, then looked at Gu Xiu who was opposite, and asked softly, "How is your year sir?"
"Okay, sir is very good. If it wasn't for Mrs. Sun Yang's refusal to obey, I would probably get married." Su Che rolled over and sat up, and saw the short-tailed peacock that Han Mochu made for Gu Xiu at a glance: "These It’s been a year, why are your skills still so poor? Why are you making a chicken with a bald tail?”
"That's a peacock." Han Mochu said coldly.
"What peacock? You are someone who has seen a real peacock, how can you still have such a virtue? How does this thing look like a peacock up and down?" Su Che picked up the wooden kite and checked it repeatedly, then turned to Gu Xiu Yang Yang's neck: "What did your Highness say? How does this look like a peacock?"
"I think it's very similar." Gu Xiu's eyes instantly became sharp, as if a few flying needles were flying straight towards Su Che who was opposite.It made him shiver involuntarily.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Su Che hastily dug out a small wooden box from the interlayer of the broken medicine box, which contained preserved peaches and dried plums: "Hey, sir asked me to bring it to you, saying it was when you left The uneaten ones were dried and made into candied fruit for you, and I didn't share any extra bites."
Looking at the candied fruit in the box, Han Mochu's eyes warmed up.He thought of the days and nights on Baiming Mountain. Every year, the trees in the mountain would bloom and bear fruit. Mr. Yi would always take him and Su Che to pick them. At that time, the rule was that one person would ride on Mr.'s neck to pick three and exchange for another. For one person, if he cheats and refuses to come down, the fruits of the next year will be distributed to another person.When one tree is plucked, another tree will be plucked, and finally distributed according to the number.Even after the two of them are adults, Mr. Yi will treat them as if they were children, and use those fresh fruits to make them happy.
When he left last year, those fruits were still immature, and he was still thinking about going here, maybe he would not be able to eat them in ten or eight years.Now the taste of this box of candied fruit is probably the taste that someone misses.
Han Mochu took the small wooden box and reached out to pick up a prunes, put it in his mouth without thinking.
An extremely pungent sour taste instantly erupted and spread in the mouth, causing Han Mochu to frown: "Ahem, it's so sour."
Han Mochu managed to regain his composure, picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth, it was sour and hot, which made Han Mochu's eye circles red.
Su Che shook his head again and again: "Oh, no wonder Mr. said that tears filled your eyes when you ate it."
"Su Changru, did you know it was sour?" Han Mochu narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Che.
"I really don't know about this, and I haven't tasted it." Su Che shrank back, "Oh, by the way, how much of your bottle of Promise Pill is left? If it's gone, I'll get you another bottle."
"Stop talking nonsense, I just want to ask you if you already knew that candied fruit is sour." Han Mochu squinted his eyes and picked up Su Che's collar.
"Han Ziran, you believe me, I really don't know!" Su Che took Han Mochu's wrist, kicked his foot, and broke free from Han Mochu's grip: "Your Highness, Your Highness is still watching, you can't be violent in front of His Highness." ah."
Su Che pointed at Gu Xiu who was sitting opposite, trying to make Han Mochu give up.
Gu Xiu glanced at him, and turned his body indifferently in front of him.
Gu Xiu didn't want to care about Mr. Su's life and death, because who told him to call the short-tailed peacock his master worked so hard to call a bald-tailed peacock?
Su Che looked at the smiling Han Mochu in despair, and his heart sank.
As the sun was setting, several shrill screams came from Guiyun Palace.
