The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Even Taoist Sun thinks that it is a good thing to teach in the academy. It is a good thing to teach and solve problems. This is a good thing that will be passed down through the ages." Li Fu said, "In front of you, second brother, this matter has been settled."

"No, I mean..." Sun Simiao was stunned.

"Oh, I know, Taoist Sun wants to say that what I said makes sense." Li Fu said, "Isn't that right? It is a very reasonable thing for Taoist Sun to come to the academy."

Li Shimin understood, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Li Fu, with a look of "I will just watch you quibble quietly."

"Taoist Sun would rather not be an official than benefit the people and solve the problems of difficulty, high cost and trouble in seeing a doctor for the people. This fearless and selfless spirit is worth learning from."

Li Fu was on the left and right, patting the palm of his left hand with the back of his right hand, and spoke passionately.

Sun Simiao was dumbfounded.

I, do I think so?

Am I such a person?

Am I so noble, so great, so selfless, and so noble?

"So I say, second brother, don't think about forcing Taoist Sun to stay in Chang'an City as an official. There are so many officials in Chang'an City, and there is no shortage of Taoist Sun. In the Imperial Medical Bureau, everyone is talented and speaks well."

Being an imperial physician in the palace is also a science. Good medical skills are one thing, and being able to speak well is another.

Anyone who works as a civil servant in the palace must first have high emotional intelligence.

Moreover, the imperial physician is in charge of the health of the nobles in the palace, which is a matter of life and death.

When someone in the palace is in poor health, people are worried and about to cry, you run up to them and say, seeing that you are in a bad mood, do you want to tell you a joke?

What joke?

What has two legs but can't walk?

Chopsticks?

No, it's your son.

Just ask if the nine clans are cold.

Sun Simiao, on the other hand, is a practical person. He doesn't want to be an official in Chang'an City, confining himself to Chang'an City and treating the dignitaries.

There are the most common people in the countryside, and the illnesses are all varied, so he can better accumulate medical experience.

In the future, even if he has an apprentice, taking an apprentice and practicing medicine everywhere is the fastest way to train successors.

No matter how much you learn, you have to do it yourself.

Li Shimin felt something was wrong the more he listened.

"Wait a minute, you mean that if the people in the Imperial Medical Bureau speak badly, I will be angry, right?" Li Shimin asked seriously.

"That's not the case. People eat grains and cereals, and they are born, grow old, get sick and die. Doctors are not omnipotent. If someone has a headache or a hard-to-treat disease, others will inevitably get angry and anxious. The imperial doctors in the palace know the nobles in the palace to some extent. They know how to speak to make people more receptive." Li Fu spread his hands and said, "Just think about it. Is that the case?"

"If it really comes to that time, no one's emotions will be as stable as usual. Decisions made in anger are likely to cause immeasurable consequences, especially when human lives are at stake." Li Fu said, "Master Sun is an honest man. He won't coax people. Although you are the emperor, you can't force others to think about saying good things in front of you every day, right?"

Sun Simiao agreed deeply.

What King Jingyang said makes sense.

It makes a lot of sense.

This touched his heart.

"What are you talking about? It's been so long, don't you know that I'm not the kind of person who only likes to hear good words?" Li Shimin wondered if Li Fu had any misunderstandings about him?

"Yes, that's the case, but you are the emperor after all, and your status is there. You are not that kind of person, but others will not think that you are not that kind of person right away." Li Fu said indifferently.

"Wei Zheng spoke so harshly and so unpleasantly, but I still let him in the court. Of course, I also know that people can't always listen to good words. Once they listen to one side and believe it, they are prone to make mistakes." Li Shimin said: "So, in this regard, you don't have to be so cautious. If I don't even have this kind of mind, I can't talk about wanting to govern the entire Tang Dynasty well."

"Anyway, no matter what, I want to keep Taoist Sun in the manor for a while." Li Fu said: "Since Taoist Sun doesn't want to be an official in Chang'an, don't force him, second brother."

Li Shimin sighed helplessly and looked at Taoist Sun.

"Master Sun, are you really going to refuse the official title?"

"Your Majesty, such titles are of no use to me." Sun Simiao said.

I had never been an official in the pre-Sui Dynasty, and I still have no intention of becoming an official.Let's not do it for now.

"Then, Taoist Sun, will you live in Huairen's manor next?" Li Shimin asked.

Sun Simiao thought about it and nodded.

Now that we are talking, we can only live in the manor for now.

Moreover, I am still a little curious about the manor, so living there for a while is also a good choice.

As for whether I should find a job in the academy as King Jingyang said, we will wait and see.

"For the next period of time, the Queen will rest in Cuiwei Palace. Even if the hottest time has passed, she will still rest in the palace when she returns to Chang'an City." Li Shimin said, "I know that your marriage has always been handled by the Queen. I will ask the Zongzheng Temple to arrange someone to take over this matter for the time being. The proper etiquette must be followed by our Li family. Anyway, it will be arranged in the end, and the Queen will take a look."

"I am worried about your affairs."

"However, you can't just rely on others. You don't understand etiquette and customs, and the palace can arrange them. You just need to start preparing. Don't worry about other things. But between you and the young lady of the Duke of Ying, it depends on you. No one else can help you.

Don't expect Cheng Qian and Li Zhi to run errands for you anymore. They have to stay in Cuiwei Palace."

"I understand." Li Fu bowed and responded, then he looked at Sun Simiao.

"Second brother, while Taoist Sun is here, how about inviting Minister Du as well?" Li Fu asked.

Li Shimin nodded.

"Okay."

"Come here, invite Minister Du."

"Yes." The eunuch outside the palace responded.

Not long after, Du Ruhui arrived at Hanfeng Palace.

"Your Majesty." Du Ruhui first bowed to Li Shimin and then bowed to Li Fu: "Greetings to King Jingyang."

"Keming, your health, I and Huairen are still concerned about you, how are you feeling recently?" Li Shimin asked.

"Thanks to your Majesty and King Jingyang, I am doing well." Du Ruhui responded.
