Chapter 403 The world is too crazy for a mouse to be a bridesmaid for a cat

"Save... Your Majesty, save me..."

In the inner house of Zhou Guogong's mansion, Wu Yanji was hanging on the rope, screaming in pain.

Wu Chengsi's wife watched from the sidelines for a long time before letting the servant put him down. Looking at the child's miserable appearance, he sighed and said, "Since ancient times, the truth has hurt people's hearts, and you have broken your Aye's heart completely." gone."

With the support of two servants, Wu Yanji stood tremblingly for a long time before his legs stopped trembling, but he said heartlessly: "I'll be beaten by Aye, and it's better to let him give up. They are already hereditary first-rank dukes, what are you still doing? The Queen Mother looks down on us, so she wants to move up..."

Wu Chengsi's wife shook her head again and again: "How can you be so tired at such a young age?"

Wu Yanji sneered, without arguing, seeing a head poking out not far away, he couldn't help calling: "Second Uncle!"

Wu Sansi walked over cautiously: "Is the inner guard here? Brother, is he okay?"

Although it was a question sentence, Wu Sansi's face was full of affirmation. Wu Yanji was confused just now, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "Father won't be stripped of his title?"

His mother couldn't hear such filial words, she shook her head and left, but Wu Yanji grabbed Wu Sansi: "Second Uncle, if my father goes, you will be the pillar of the family, you must go to the front hall to see !"

Wu Sansi's face changed suddenly, and he broke away from his palm: "You will inherit the position of Zhou Guogong in the future, you should come forward and deal with the inner guard!"

"You are an elder!"

"You are the heir!"

Just when the two were immersed in Kong Rong's humility, Wu Youning's younger brother Wu Youji (jì) appeared and said with an unbelievable expression: "I just saw the elder brother following Li Yuanfang, as if he was going to fight with his wife." Let's investigate the case together!"

Wu Sansi and Wu Yanji said in unison: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

They said so, but the Wu family's children still came to the front yard, poked their heads out from the corner secretly, and found that Wu Chengsi was really willing to leave with Li Yuanfang.

The world is too crazy for a mouse to be a bridesmaid for a cat!
Wu Chengsi noticed his gaze, and the corner of his mouth raised a curve. He also studied hard. His husband taught him a word before, telling the bird to know the ambition of the great swan, and now it just happens to apply to himself and this group of Wu's sons who are useless. body!

Guo Yuanzhen watched him secretly with a strange smile, but Li Yan didn't care at all.

In his eyes, whether it is the Wu family or Zhou Guogong, they are all roles that provide clues.

Since there is this indirect participant from the past, it is natural to follow the clues from him and continue to dig out the truth.

"Let's go to Shangyao Bureau."

The three rode their horses towards the imperial city.

After entering the imperial city, go directly to Shang Yao Bureau.

Not long after, Chen Yuyi, who had cooperated in the Bulaomeng case, came out to welcome him: "Leader Li Ge... Zhou Guogong?"

What kind of weird combination is this?

Fortunately, the doubtful points described by Li Yan made him quickly divert his attention, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Practicing medicine in Lingnan can also relieve Zhou Guogong's father's illness. If it is not the medicine of tiger and wolf, then the medical skills are really superb, but I have never heard of such a doctor."

Wu Chengsi glared and said, "You're not a small talker. There are so many states and counties in the world. Do you know all the local famous doctors?"

Doctor Chen was not afraid of him, and explained calmly: "There are countless doctors in the world, and they all have made achievements in medicine. Once they are famous in prefectures and counties, they will be recommended by the governor to come to the two capitals to exchange medical skills. The hospital has been in existence for more than [-] years, and I have not heard of any doctor who has been practicing medicine in Lingnan all year round."

Li Yan nodded: "In this case, the possibility of a regular doctor is not very high..."

The most fair thing between the Ninth Five-Year Lord and the common people is that they will all suffer from old age, sickness and death. Many common people suffer from diseases, and the emperor is not immune to them. A fierce man like Li Shimin may die of illness due to continuous diarrhea. Naturally, he wishes for the world's medical skills Talented people can gather in Tai Hospital.

Imperial power can indeed attract many doctors. Even Sun Simiao, who had been living in Chang'an before, and his direct disciple Liu Shenwei, had also been working in the Shangyao Bureau. The saint respects.

Of course, it is extremely difficult for Sun Simiao to concentrate on compiling medical books for the benefit of future generations. Under normal circumstances, as long as he is famous in the local area, the county government will pay attention to it, and the county magistrate and even the governor will report it to the central government. Doctor Chen will indeed understand.

But Wu Chengsi was not convinced: "Perhaps he doesn't value fame, lives in seclusion in the mountains, and comes out to practice medicine by chance!"

Chen Yuyi was a little helpless: "Practice medicine must accumulate a lot of experience. If you have been living in seclusion in the mountains, you can't become a famous doctor, and you can't be called a doctor if you work behind closed doors."

Li Yan frowned slightly, thinking that the previous generation "Zuo Ming" possessed superb medical skills, and asked: "According to Doctor Chen's knowledge, are there any generations who have studied medicine in the major families?"

Doctor Chen shook his head and smiled wryly: "The status of a doctor is not high. Although we have the desire to help the world, we still seek to be an official or a half-job. There are high-ranking noble families and families of military generals in the world, but there is no heirloom of medicine..."

This is very realistic. The social status of doctors in ancient times was not high. Even Hua Tuo, a genius doctor, was ashamed of his status as a doctor. He often wanted to become an official. He was later killed by Cao Cao. There were also reasons for this, which made people extremely suspicious The serious Cao Cao mistakenly thought that Hua Tuo had taken a political stand.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was no record of a medical family. However, in the Ming Dynasty, the great-grandfather and grandfather of the female doctor Tan Yunxian were both famous for their medicine. When Tan Yunxian’s parents entered politics, the Tan family no longer practiced medicine. Fortunately, the family history still has a profound influence. For Tan Yunxian, she became a famous female doctor, but unfortunately she was ruined by later TV dramas. She practiced medicine all her life, wrote books and made great contributions. In the eyes of some people, it seems that she must fall in love with the emperor to be considered great... …

"Since there is no medical family, who did 'Zamei' learn his superb medical skills from?"

"Master or family?"

Uncle Dumb didn't show his medical skills. Li Yan squinted his eyes slightly, and was a little more curious about which family "Zuo Ming" came from. Then he calmed down, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Chen."

Doctor Chen returned the salute, and his eyes moved again: "Leader Li Ge, I need to add one more thing, all I know are doctors from the Tang Dynasty, if they are from a foreign country, I don't know."

"what?"

After his words fell, Wu Chengsi suddenly let out a little gasp, and tilted his head to think.

Guo Yuanzhen's eyes brightened: "Does that doctor have exotic features?"

Wu Chengsi nodded slowly, then shook his head slowly: "I seem to have a little impression that at the time, my mother didn't want the doctor to see my father because of concerns, but I really can't remember whether it was because of the appearance of a foreign race... ..."

Guo Yuanzhen sighed, feeling tired. After Li Yan sent Chen Yuyi away, he began to guide: "Don't think about your specific appearance. It's really hard to recall that time after many years. Now you have to empty your head and only think about your accent. Do you have the slightest impression of that wandering doctor's accent?"

Wu Chengsi's head was already quite empty, but it soon became even more empty. After thinking for a long time, his brows moved slightly: "You said that, I did remember something, the voice of that person really didn't sound like my elder brother's. Tangren, it's quite weird."

Li Yandao: "The language of each ethnic group is different. When you learn Datang Mandarin, you will inevitably have the original language accent. This clue is very important...Let's go, let's go to the Ministry of Rites!"

After finishing speaking, he strode out, Guo Yuanzhen and Wu Chengsi followed, and the three of them left Shangyao Bureau and immediately went to Shangshu Province.

The six ministries belonged to the Shangshu Province. Except for the South Court of the Ministry of Rites and the Selected Court of the Ministry of Officials, the others were inside the Shangshu Province. It was already afternoon, and most of the officials of the six ministries had already left work, and a few stayed behind.

"Leader Li Ge!... Zhou Guogong?"

Seeing Li Yan walking in, the officials cheered up and hurried forward to salute. Seeing Wu Chengsi following behind, their expressions changed slightly. They wanted to avoid it but it was too late, and they were very uncomfortable.

Wu Chengsi's face darkened, he felt that he hadn't done anything evil, at most he had looked at his wife a few more times before, but now he has become such a notorious person, his heart is full of grievances, and he has a new heart to make progress.

He was secretly clenching his fists when he heard hearty laughter from the front: "What brought Li Ge to our Ritual Department! Eh... Zhou Guogong?"

It was Miao Shenke who greeted him.

He is now a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the five subjects of the tribute examination. Since the imperial examination became obsolete, his prestige has risen sharply, so he is naturally more grateful for Li Yan's cultivation.

Li Yan did indeed look for him here, because he knew that these Beimen bachelors from poor families worked overtime every day. After explaining the situation roughly: "I hope to find some officials from the Ministry of Rites who are proficient in languages ​​of various ethnic groups."

Miao Shenke said with a smile: "It's easy to handle, the next official will arrange it immediately."

It was really arranged immediately. In just two quarters of an hour, three officials from the Ministry of Rituals came to the front and saluted respectfully.

Miao Shenke said: "They are proficient in the languages ​​of Turkic, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Gaochang and other places. On weekdays, they receive envoys from various countries and communicate with them."

There are no professional textbooks in this era, and it is not easy to be proficient in foreign languages. If you are proficient in multiple countries, you are a language genius. Li Yan said with satisfaction: "Now you imitate the emphasis of foreigners speaking Tang Mandarin, and talk to Zhou Guogong. Can it be done?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites nodded immediately, obviously very relaxed, but looked at Wu Chengsi with a faint resistance, as if he was afraid of having a relationship with him, and began to talk after he calmed down.

The first one is to imitate Turkic people speaking Datang official dialect. Li Yan often heard this crappy way of speaking in Liangzhou. He smiled slightly, feeling a little nostalgic, but Wu Chengsi was at a loss.

The second is to imitate the Tubo people speaking Datang official dialect, but Wu Chengsi still didn't respond.

Then Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Khotan, Shule...

Even Li Yan had never heard of some small countries in the Western Regions, and obviously they were not recorded in the annals of history, but they also had their own characteristics in language, and these officials of the Ministry of Rites were able to imitate them very well.

But Wu Chengsi still shook his head.

One of the officials from the Ministry of Rites saw him, and suddenly began to change the direction of the region, and changed his language habits. This time, Wu Chengsi's face changed slightly.

Seeing that it was effective, he changed two types in a row. When it came to the third type, Wu Chengsi's dusty memory was suddenly awakened, and he screamed: "Just like this, that's how that wandering doctor talks!"

Li Yan's eyes were fixed: "Which country are you from with such a habit of pronouncing words?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites was in a good mood, suppressed his excitement, and replied, "I report to Li Geling, this is the speech habit of Silla."
