Chapter 1094 Helps and Haka

Originally, Davos was going to follow the etiquette of the Kingdom of Dionia and wait for the other party to finish the salute before saying some words of comfort. Unexpectedly, Haka's first words made him stunned, and he said casually: "I s student?"

Haka looked at Davos with admiration, and said sincerely: "Yes, Your Majesty. I am very fascinated by the Kingdom of Dionia you created and the regime that you took the lead in formulating. I am doing research, and from time to time I apply some of my experience to govern the affairs of southern Iberia, but there are still many shortcomings, so this time I came to Turui to learn from you!"

Henipolis, who was following closely behind to get off the boat, couldn't help rolling his eyelids when he heard this: "Well, you Haka, you don't seem to like to talk much, but when you talk, you are so flattering. good!"

Davos smiled happily, stepped forward to hold Haka's hands, and said continuously: "You have managed the southern Iberia region very well, especially some of the governance strategies implemented by the Iberian tribes in the territory. It is unique and worth learning from! So, this teacher... I don't dare to be you. You are very talented in handling government affairs and you are completely capable of being your own teacher!
It's just that the affairs of the kingdom are complicated now, and there are many problems that need to be solved urgently. It also gives me a headache, so everyone and I are looking forward to you!I believe that with your participation and brainstorming with us, more innovative resolutions will be introduced to take the governance of the Kingdom to a higher level! "

Haka immediately replied: "I am very willing to come to Turiyi to contribute more to the kingdom!"

"Okay! Okay!" Davos smiled, patted his hand, looked at him with concern, and said, "But before I put more burden on you, I have to nurse your body back to health first. Otherwise, if you get sick, If it falls, Didok will have to settle the score with me!"

In the eyes of Davos, Haka was extremely thin and his face was dark and gloomy. He looked completely sick. Knowing that he was less than 30 years old, this could not help but frighten Davos. .

"Thank you for taking care of Dido these years!" Haka expressed his gratitude again.

"Hi, I haven't thanked your family for raising such a good daughter-in-law for me! Dido has always been beautiful, virtuous, smart and capable, and she also gave birth to a lovely grandson for our family. The whole family likes her very much! ... …”

Everyone around showed kind smiles. When some people saw the two people having a family affair, they suddenly realized that although Haka came to Turiyi for the first time, he and King Davos were related, and look at him I get along so well with His Majesty that I may have to change my attitude towards him in the future.

"Helps!" Davos said, suddenly shouting back.

Medical Minister Helps responded immediately.

"I leave it to you to treat Haka and nurse him back to health. You have to go to see the doctor in person to ensure Haka's health!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Haka was a little frightened, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, this... Helps is an important minister of the kingdom and a famous doctor respected by the people. How can I work for his old man with such a minor illness... and waste his precious time! - —”

"I am a doctor. How can treating people be said to be a waste of time!" Helps stepped forward, looked at Haka carefully, and suggested to Daves with some concern: "Your Majesty, Lord Haka's face looks like It’s not good. It may be that he is too tired after a long boat ride. I suggest that he go back to his residence to rest as soon as possible so that he can regain his energy!”

Davos already had this idea, and after being reminded by Helps, he took it even more seriously, and immediately said cautiously: "You are right! Let's go back to your new residence to rest first, Haka. , and at the same time let Hullpus treat you, and when you recover, you will gradually get acquainted with the elders at the Senate meeting."

"Your Majesty, I am in good health now and have no problems. I just want to take this opportunity to get to know my colleagues!" Haka was so embarrassed that he left in a hurry without meeting and thanking these elders who came to greet him, so he quickly expressed his stance.

"Lord Haka, don't force yourself, your health is very important to the kingdom!" Lysias, the rotating chairman of the Senate, hurriedly advised: "His Majesty has always been very concerned about the health of our senators, and everyone will understand this. You Don’t worry, we will have plenty of opportunities in the future to get to know each other slowly.”

"But..." Haka still wanted to express his dissent.

Davos said to Henipolis simply: "That's it. Send Lord Hakkar to his mansion first... Oh, by the way, where is Hasdrubal?"

"He...well, he drank too much and was sleeping on the boat. I was afraid of disturbing His Majesty, so I didn't wake him up..." Haka said bravely.

Of course, Davos saw the trick, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he said with some concern: "In this case, don't wake him up. After you all have a rest and regain your energy, I will hold a banquet at the palace to welcome you! I heard that Hasdrubal loved drinking. I have the best wine and beer in the Western Mediterranean, and there are also many military veterans who are good drinkers. When the time comes, Make sure he drinks to his heart’s content!”

................................................

In order to welcome Hakkar's arrival, Davos and the Senate made a lot of efforts, such as preparing a residence for him. It stands to reason that there is no space in the inner city to build mansions for senators. Some of the senators who later joined the kingdom were in I live near the outer city area close to the inner city. This time, the Senate posted a house purchase notice on the notice board in front of the Grand Assembly Hall, offering people in the inner city a big discount to buy houses, but very few people responded. In the end, it was Sostatus, a big businessman of the Thurii Chamber of Commerce, who transferred the house left by his father Cunogorata in the inner city to the Senate in exchange for a piece of public land in the outer city and the approval of Davos. .

The Construction Department specially sent people to carefully repair the residence. After Haka, Hasdrubal and the others arrived in Thurii, they moved directly into the new mansion.

Just as Helps expected, Haka took a long boat ride and this morning worked hard to see the entire city of Thurii on the Craty River. He blew the river wind for a long time, but he fell ill as soon as he moved into the mansion. Erps took medical staff to diagnose and treat him.

At dusk, Helps rushed to Davos's mansion again.

"Master Haka has been exposed to the river wind for a long time, so he caught a cold. He has been given medicine. I believe he will get better within a day or two after he develops a fever..." Helps made a report.

"Thankfully you reminded me in time today!" Davos was temporarily relieved. He knew very well: Haka had just arrived in Turiyi and there must be no problems!Otherwise, the people in Iberia and the Phoenicians in other areas would have bad guesses. For example, when Haka was in good condition in Iberia, he became seriously ill and bedridden as soon as he arrived in Thurii. This must be Dio. The murderous hand of the king of Nia and the senators! …

"Your Majesty." Helps continued with a worried look: "After examining Master Haka's body, I found that the reason why he is frail and sickly is because he suffers from heart disease... His heart sound is very loud. It is very noisy, very similar to many patients with heart diseases that I have treated before... We once obtained your consent and the consent of the patient's family, and under the witness of Hades God, we treated several patients with heart disease. The autopsies of patients who eventually died of this heart disease found that their hearts were somewhat different from those of normal people. There were leaks in places that should be closed, and seals in places that shouldn't be closed... Moreover, they seemed to have never stopped. I’ve had this problem since I was born, so I—”

"So, you named it 'primary heart disease'. I have listened to a series of speeches you gave on this aspect at scholar conferences in recent years. This is a very remarkable discovery!" Davers praised. , but the brows were still covered with a layer of gloom, he asked bluntly: "As far as I know, 'primary heart disease' cannot be treated, then you can judge based on Haka's current physical condition that he probably How long can you live?"

"Your Majesty, according to our current level of medical skills, it is indeed impossible to treat this disease. In fact, we have found that there should be many kinds of 'primary heart disease', and we are working hard to classify them bit by bit through dissection... This It is a very long process. But according to our statistics and observations of these patients, those who can live to be over 20 years old often suffer from relatively mild heart disease. As long as their living conditions are good and they do not engage in excessive work, If you work hard and get timely treatment, your life will be relatively long..."

"That's good! That's good!" Davos relaxed his brows, relaxed his whole body, and said in a gentle tone: "Thank you for your hard work, Helps, I will leave Haka's long-term treatment and care to you in the future. ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that although we cannot cure this disease, we can still delay Master Haka's symptoms!" Helps said confidently.

"It's getting late, please dine at my place tonight."

"Your Majesty, I received urgent news from the hospital on the way here. They received a seriously ill patient with a strange onset. I need to rush through the hospital to conduct a consultation on this patient."

"Okay, then I won't keep you."

Helps saluted respectfully, turned around and prepared to leave.

Davos saw that his figure was a bit stooped, his hair was gray, his gait was slightly trembling, and he looked very old. He was deeply touched and couldn't help but said: "Helps, you should take more care of yourself." ! I can’t live without you, just like I did in Persia more than 20 years ago..."

Helps' body trembled slightly. He turned around and saluted respectfully to Davos again, just like he did every time he responded to Davos's instructions more than twenty years ago and said: "Yes, teacher!"
