Chapter 586

As the de facto eldest son of the Nanping Kingdom, it was not a trivial matter for Gao Baorong to come to Bianliang, Tokyo in person.

Even if Nanping has never been declared emperor in history, this does not hinder Nanping's independent status.

The last time a ruler or heir descendant visited the capital of the Central Plains, it was when Li Cunxu first entered Luoyang, Gao Baorong's grandfather Gao Jixing, the founder of Nanping, came to the court to meet him in person.

And that was 32 years ago.

So this time Gao Baorong entered the court in person. It was the first time that the lord of the vassals had an audience since Li Yazi, Emperor Zhuangzong of the later dynasty. Zhang Zhou attached great importance to it from top to bottom.

Zhang Zhao urgently ordered Feng Dao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, to build the mansion originally planned for Zhang Xiancun, the eldest son of Zhang Zhao, in Taipingfang in the southeast of the inner city, and immediately add household items as a residence for Gao Baorong and his close followers.

All civil and military officials from Nanping Kingdom also arranged residences in the inner city, and they were not allowed to live in the public houses of the Ministry of Rites.

It was also agreed that Li Cunhui, Duke of Shouchang County, would come forward to meet him thirty miles outside Tokyo.

Finally, it is still confirmed that Gao Baorong will arrive on the fifth day of the seventh month. There will be a grand court meeting. All officials above the seventh rank in Beijing can participate in the court meeting and watch the ceremony.

Of course, before Gao Baorong arrived, Zhang Zhao sent Li Xiaojie as a special envoy to communicate with Gao Baorong and the accompanying Nanping civil and military officials.

Because Zhang Zhao put up such a big battle to welcome him, it would be ridiculous if Gao Baorong came to tear down the stage.

So Zhang Zhao made the arrangement after confirming that Gao Baorong came to pay tribute, and it was said that there was a peerless treasure to pay tribute to.

On the first day of July, although it was a scorching summer day, the cool river breeze blew in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo recently, and it didn't look too hot.

Today's court meeting is very grand, and the ostentation is only a little bit worse than when Zhang Zhao ascended the throne.

Escorting Gao Baorong was five hundred Xiaoqi from Yingyang Town stationed in Dengzhou, and it was Li Cunhui's right feather guard Yiqian who welcomed Gao Bao into the city.

Gao Baorong was also riding on a black horse. Although he was honest and cowardly, he was also a member of the third generation of martial arts. He was very good at horseback riding and archery. He was even good at swordsmanship, and his body was definitely much better than ordinary people.

Gao Baorong had already felt extremely tough when he saw the five hundred warriors in Yingyang Town before, but this time when he saw Li Cunhui's One Thousand Feather Lin Lang, he was even more surprised and speechless.

Although these Habayashi men were like one thousand of them, the murderous aura emanating from their bodies made Gao Baorong feel a little chilly, and he turned his head and said to the commanders of the accompanying Nanping cavalry.

"There are so many soldiers and horses in the imperial court, I don't want to fight with axes, let the soldiers take off their armor and put on silk clothes."

It turned out that when they set off, Gao Conghui bought two hundred armored horses for Gao Baorong in order to fear that the imperial court would despise the Nanping military horses.

These Nanping armored cavalry wore armor weighing tens of kilograms, which had just been changed outside the city.

But after Gao Baorong took a look, he felt that it was better not to let them wear armor.

If Nanping is talking about the water army, it is still quite strong, at least not much better than the Central Plains court, or even a little stronger, but the armor cavalry is fine.

The Nanping soldiers were impatient in the hot weather, and had to wear dozens of kilograms of armor to cross the entire Tokyo city.

Hearing what Gao Baorong said, he immediately obeyed his orders and changed into satin clothes. He dressed himself up nicely, with his breasts upright, to show off to the Tokyo girls and daughters-in-law who were watching the fun around them, and immediately received a round of applause .

It was in stark contrast to the silent, Xu Rulin's right-handed Habayashi Wei Habayashiro.

"Pass down the will of the sage, inspector Sikong, deputy envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, governor of Xiazhou Gao Baorong, see you!"

Not long after, the team arrived outside Qianyuan Palace, and the envoy of Qianyuan Palace, who was in charge of the inner court, came to deliver the order in person.

Gao Baorong knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times outside the Zhuque gate of Qianyuan Palace, and three people called long live. After the prostration was over, he got up and led Nanping officials through the Zhuque gate.

After he bowed down, someone naturally notified Zhang Zhao of Gao Baorong's performance.

There is still a distance between the Suzaku Gate and the Chongyuan Hall, the main hall of the Qianyuan Palace. If you want to go, you will have to walk for at least ten minutes.

So not long after, a servant led a horse to Gao Baorong.

"The sage said: 'Gao Sikong came from a long way, and specially gave a BMW as a substitute for transportation.'"

This is a three-generation blood-sweat horse. The horse is more than five feet tall at the shoulders. Its hair is slightly purple in color, and its eyes are agile. It is extraordinary at first glance.

At this moment, seeing Gao Baorong looking at it, the horse grinned and neighed, and shook its long horse's head, feeling a little excited.

Gao Baorong immediately bowed down again, and said to the servant: "This is a good horse on the battlefield. Its neighing implies the roar of a tiger. I have always been weak and unruly."

. . . .

In the palace, my sage Zhang grinned when he heard this, this curly-haired purple horse is quite restless in the royal garden.

It neighed a few times for nothing else, it was exciting, and once it ran, it would be scary. Giving this curly purple to Gao Baorong was actually a temptation.

"In the future, whoever tells me that Gao Baorong is simple, honest and cowardly will be deceiving the emperor, and this son of Nanping actually has a sense of propriety in his heart.

Come here, give him a safe and fast horse, I can't wait to see this Gao Baorong. "

So, after walking a few steps, Gao Baorong met the third group of servants, who gave him a fat castrated horse, which seemed very docile at first glance.

. . . .

Gao Baorong is somewhat chubby, with a round face, completely different from the majestic long faces of his father Gao Conghui and his tenth brother Gao Baoxu. Perhaps this is why Gao Baorong is easily labeled as simple and cowardly.

As for Zhang Zhao, he is more familiar with this face. Gao Baorong's appearance and temperament are very similar to those of the later generations who are rich in technology. If he wears a plaid shirt, he is exactly the same as the stereotyped senior programmer.

"Chen Gao Baorong pays homage to His Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed and safe."

Gao Baorong didn't see what the emperor on the throne looked like at all, and when he walked to the front, he would push the golden mountain and pour the jade pillars to bow.

Zhang Zhao walked down cheerfully, and reached out to help Gao Baorong up.

"If you are a blessed person, you will have the appearance of blessing and salary. Let me ask you, why are you only called a minister and not an official?"

Gao Baorong was held by Zhang Zhao's hand, and his body suddenly trembled slightly. He tried to answer in a calm tone.

"The positions of inspector Sikong and Deputy Envoy of Jingnan Jiedu were conferred by the puppet dynasty of Shi Jin. The same is true of all the official positions of my father, so I dare not mention them in front of the saint."

Zhang Zhao nodded in satisfaction, Gao Baorong's mind was still clear.

Because before the Southern Expedition to the Southern Tang Dynasty, Zhang Zhao declared that Shi Jingtang and Shi Chonggui's thrones were illegitimate on the grounds that the Shi Jin court was canonized by the Khitan, and that Shi Jin was a puppet dynasty.

It's just that because Shi Chonggui was taken away, it was a bit tragic, and Tokyo people and civil and military officials sympathized with him, so Zhang Zhao didn't completely discredit Shi Jin.

"Then you came to court this time mainly to ask for a seal?" Zhang Zhao narrowed his eyes, obviously there was something in his words.

Gao Baorong's back was sweating profusely, but fortunately, he had made a small plan before setting off, so he was not in a panic.

He was held by Zhang Zhao, and he hunched back and replied: "I am here to plead guilty on behalf of my father and the Jingnan army and people. After the Khitan entered the Central Plains in the past, my father was bewitched by villains and raised troops to harass Xiangzhou and Jingnan." Yingzhou.

Although they were all defeated by the court soldiers and horses, the guilt still remains, and I ask the saints to see that our Gao family has always been submissive, and let them be punished lightly. "

This remark is also very level, calling Khitan into the Central Plains means that the Xiangzhou and Yingzhou that were harassed at that time were not Zhang Zhou's land.

Then he said that they were defeated by the court, which means that they did not cause much damage, but they have been educated and put on a miserable look to win sympathy.

Although Zhang Zhao knew that this was Gao Baorong's strategy, he still couldn't help laughing. The Jingnan army was too funny.

Not to mention being defeated by Jiao Jixun in Xiangzhou, he is still a famous general, but what the hell is the embarrassing rat who was beaten by the state and county soldiers mobilized by Yin Shi, the governor of Yingzhou?

Such a weak chicken!
However, the intention of punishment in his heart went away a lot, but Zhang Zhao was not ready to forgive, he let go of Gao Baorong's hand, snorted coldly, and his tone became serious.

"I thought you father and son didn't know about the crimes you committed? Using troops from Jingnan to harass Xiang and Ying prefectures is plotting treason!"

When Gao Baorong heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed again, crying: "My father knew he was guilty, so he sent me to plead guilty. But I ask your Majesty to put down the anger of the thunder for a while, because I have a second matter to report when I come to worship. "

"What's the matter to report? Let's talk about it." Zhang Zhao was also very curious about what the peerless treasure that Gao Baorong 'secretly' revealed to Li Xiaojie was.

Gao Baorong continued to tremble and said: "My father came back from a big defeat in Yingzhou, and he knew that he had made a big mistake, so he was about to throw himself into the river, so as not to implicate his family.

After walking a few steps, I saw an old man sitting alone by the river, feeling quite chilled by Feng Shui.

The minister thought to himself that since he wanted to commit suicide, the brocade fur and the money in his arms would be useless, so he immediately took off the brocade fur and gave him money as a gift.

The old man put on the brocade fur coat, and after receiving the money, he suddenly laughed and said: "Although you are a rascal, you still have a bit of benevolence. Now a saint is born to protect my hometown for thousands of years. If you take this book, you may be able to protect it." You have one life. '

After speaking, the old man disappeared, and the father took a closer look, only to see that there was no old man by the river, only a wooden box. "

Cough cough cough!Zhang Zhao couldn't help coughing a few times, good guy, tell me a fairy tale, right?I don't know if this is Zhang Shengren's favorite operation?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao stared at Gao Baorong fiercely, the meaning was obvious, the fairy tale is over, if you can't come up with something that matches the myth, you just wait to be dealt with.

However, Gao Baorong is quite confident. His Gao family has kept it in secret for more than ten years. If it is not precious, how dare it be called a peerless treasure?
Two large boxes were brought in by the guards. The opened boxes were full of books, with a few large characters written on the top.

Zhang Zhao hurried over to take a look, and the box on the left was impressively written "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", and the box on the right was impressively written "Debate on Febrile Diseases" and "Treatise on Wuzang".

Zhang Zhao took a deep breath, even his voice was trembling a little.

This Treatise on Febrile Diseases plus the Treatise on Five Zangs, which debate miscellaneous diseases, add up to Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases.

"But the treatise on exogenous febrile disease and miscellaneous disease written by medical sage Zhang Zhongjing?"

The reason why he was so excited was that as soon as Zhang Zhao arrived in Tokyo, he began to search for these masterpieces of medical literature.

But after two years of searching, even Jinyi's personal guards were dispatched, but they couldn't find it. Some people even said that when Huang Chao entered Chang'an, it was completely burned down in a fire.

Gao Baorong slammed his head to the ground, "He was born a sage, to make the world safe, that's why this peerless treasure has come into the world, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

There was an uproar in the court. It is said that the medical sage who has been lost for nearly a hundred years has appeared in the world. Isn't this a natural saint?
Confucianism also says that what is not good is equivalent to good medicine. Zhang Xichong, He Ning, Fan Zhi, Feng Dao, Li Fang and others all stared straight.

For a moment, all civil and military officials shouted in unison, "The ministers also congratulate His Majesty."

Historically, Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" had lost its inheritance by the end of Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties.

However, the Gao family in Nanping, by chance, collected a set of almost the only out-of-print treatise on treatise on febrile disease and miscellaneous diseases.

Later, it was dedicated to the Northern Song Dynasty by the last generation of Nanping Wang Gao Jichong, the son of Gao Baorong.

Ha ha!My second brother Zhao is amazing, I guess he sees nothing but conspiracies and tricks.

After such a basically confirmed peerless treasure was presented by the Gao family, Zhao Er threw it directly into the Royal Book Palace to eat ashes.

It was not discovered by accident until the Northern Song Dynasty established the Calibration Medical Book Bureau during the Jiayou period of Song Renzong (1056-1063) more than [-] years later.

But at this time, the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and "Eloquent Treatise" in Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases had long been lost.

As for the importance of Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases, I won’t mention it. This book is known as the ancestor of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. Dozens of prescriptions, such as Xiaoqinglong Decoction and Xiaochaihu Decoction, are still commonly used in later generations.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is a peerless treasure, especially at this time.

Zhang Zhao stood up slowly, looked at Gao Baorong and said, "Let my father submit a letter of guilt! I can forgive him for his crime of harassing Xiangzhou and Yingzhou."

After Gao Baorong listened, he wept and kowtowed on the ground.

Zhang Zhao looked at Zhao Jinfang and said, "Call all the imperial physicians in the imperial medical office to sort out this book in detail, so that not a single word is lost.

The Ministry of Industry immediately summoned craftsmen for engraving and printing.

The Ministry of Rites ordered all over the world to give rewards and official positions to anyone who has a severance book submitted by the people, depending on the degree of importance. The highest one will be rewarded with the title of earl. "
