Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 38 Flying to the sky
After Yuan Qingbai met Jia Zhu that day, he went to see an imperial physician named Lu and asked Jia Zhu to come to him for medical diagnosis every month.

There are many imperial doctors in Da Zhou Tai Hospital, but most of them are just doing their jobs to make ends meet.

There are only a handful of imperial physicians with truly superb medical skills, and Imperial Physician Lu is one of them. He often diagnoses and treats nobles in the palace.

Yuan Qingbai suffered a slight injury while practicing martial arts. Emperor Jing'an, out of concern for him, asked Imperial Doctor Lu to be responsible for his diagnosis and treatment.

Therefore, Yuan Qingbai got acquainted with Dr. Lu.

Based on Yuan Qingbai's current position, he asked Imperial Physician Lu to diagnose Jia Zhu once a month, and Jia Zhu would also pay a lot of money for the diagnosis, so Physician Lu would not refuse.

The imperial doctors at Dazhou Imperial Hospital were not of high status, and they did not only treat the royal family and nobles.

The original work mentions a doctor named Wang.

The Imperial Physician Wang was wearing a sixth-grade official uniform, but the Rongguo Mansion could ask him to come to the residence for diagnosis and treatment. Mother Jia once joked that if he did not perform well in diagnosis and treatment, she would send people to demolish the lobby of the Imperial Hospital.

……

……

Although the third prince was deeply saddened by the death of his second daughter, he did not delay his business of checking the deficit.

This inventory of deficits is really difficult!
On this day, Emperor Jing'an was sitting alone in the Nuang Pavilion in Dangchun Garden, holding a copy of the legacy in his hands with a sad look on his face.

This relic was handed down by an old minister who begged for retirement a few years ago. This old minister named Xie Mingfeng was once a hero and confidant of Emperor Jing'an.

Xie Mingfeng was an honest official, but he also suffered a considerable loss.

The debt collection by the Huikao Mansion headed by the third prince made Xie Mingfeng sad and ashamed, so he hanged himself. Before committing suicide, he wrote a testament to Emperor Jing'an.

In the posthumous manuscript, Xie Mingfeng expressed the kindness Emperor Jing'an had shown him and his loyalty to Emperor Jing'an in a tone that was like tears and blood.

He also confided in him his integrity and confided that the original loss was not spent on himself.

He also confided his sadness and shame at being charged for debt this time.

The salary in the Jing'an Dynasty was meager, and Xie Mingfeng was an honest official. Although Emperor Jing'an had given him some rewards in the past, most of them were spent on his children and grandchildren.

He couldn't afford to repay the shortfall, and felt that he had no shame in surviving in the world, so he hanged himself, hoping that Emperor Jing'an could cancel his shortfall and allow his family to live in peace...

Emperor Jing'an read Xie Mingfeng's posthumous copy again and again, and couldn't help but recall the past events with this old minister, and felt a little sad in his heart and eyes.

At this moment, Tao Quan came to report: "Your Majesty, the third prince is here."

Emperor Jing'an whispered one word: "Xuan."

The third prince walked into Nuan Pavilion and saluted respectfully.

Emperor Jing'an handed over the manuscript in his hand: "This is Xie Mingfeng's manuscript. I have read it, and you should also take a look."

The third prince took the legacy and read it carefully.

Even though he was serious and mean, after reading this posthumous document, his heart was in a state of confusion, but he quickly calmed down and looked at Emperor Jing'an calmly.

Emperor Jing'an asked, "What do you have in mind?"

The third prince said respectfully: "Back to my father, I expected this kind of thing to happen when I took over the task of checking the deficit."

"I feel sorry for you to thank Mr. Lao this time, but he is indeed in a shortfall. The Huikao government asked him to make up for it. It's your father's business."

"I know that this matter has probably made my father sad and uncomfortable. This is my fault."

Emperor Jing'an paused and asked, "Do you think the inventory deficit should continue?"

The third prince said respectfully: "My son boldly said that for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this matter should continue and should not be abandoned halfway. However, I listen to my father. If my father thinks that I should not continue, I will naturally give up." "

Emperor Jing'an smiled playfully and sighed in his heart: "Fortunately, this son was immersed in the grief of losing his daughter two days ago, and he recovered so quickly. He is a suitable person to be an emperor!"

Emperor Jing'an pointed to a picture hanging on the wall and said to the third prince: "Since I have written these four words, then act according to these four words!"

The third prince looked at the words on the wall, which read: Perseverance!

The old father wrote two of these four words, kept one for himself, and gave the other to him. Emperor Jing'an changed the subject: "It's my birthday in two days. Qingbai has prepared a special birthday gift for me. Did you hear about it?"

The third prince said: "My son has heard that it is a hot air balloon that can carry people to the sky. Qingbai came up with this thing from the sky lantern, but father, can this hot air balloon really carry people to the sky?"

He asked his son Qingbai face to face, and Qingbai had introduced the hot air balloon to him in detail, and he also trusted Qingbai.

Even so, he still felt that this matter was a bit unreliable...

If you mess up, the consequences will be huge...

Emperor Jing'an smiled and said, "I heard from Qingliang and Qingbai that this hot air balloon has been successfully tested."

"I wanted to take a look first, but the two juniors, Qingliang and Qingbai, didn't let me take a look first, saying that I would be surprised if I saw it on my birthday."

The third prince was amused when he heard this. He could imagine how frustrated his father was at that time.

The people who made the old father frustrated were Qing Liang and Qing Bai. They were the two grandsons that the old father loved very much. Naturally, the old father would not do anything to these two grandsons because of this, and he "obediently" listened to their words.

Emperor Jing'an said: "Two days from now, on the morning of my birthday, let's watch the flying sky together!"

The third prince said hurriedly: "Yes, father."

……

……

The third prince's second daughter died of illness, and her husband's family was organizing a funeral for her.

However, this had little impact on Emperor Jing'an's birthday celebrations, even though the princess was his granddaughter.

He has lost so many sons and daughters in his life, let alone grandchildren.

For this emperor who values ​​family affection and tolerance, the saying "the most ruthless emperor's family" sometimes applies.

Emperor Jing'an celebrated his birthday in Dangchun Garden this year.

On the morning of his birthday, many people gathered in Dangchun Garden.

Including Concubine Yi and other concubines, the princes and grandsons, the princes and ministers...

Of course there are also many eunuchs, maids, guards, officers and soldiers.

Yuan Qingbai invented the hot-air balloon, and Yuan Qingliang Zuohu'er was responsible for making the hot-air balloon. The two of them were going to use the hot-air balloon to carry people to the sky on the morning of Emperor Jing'an's birthday to celebrate Emperor Jing'an's birthday...

Although this matter has not shaken Shenjing, it has been known to many people.

Many people came here specifically to see the excitement today.

At this time, everyone headed by Emperor Jing'an was looking at Yuan Qingliang and Yuan Qingbai.

Yuan Qingliang and Yuan Qingbai, with a group of craftsmen, are assembling a hot air balloon.

The shape of this hot air balloon alone surprised many people.

The third prince couldn't help but feel worried, and even Emperor Jing'an felt uneasy.

Today is the birthday of Emperor Jing'an, and so many people have gathered to watch.

It would be bad if the hot air balloon failed to carry people into the sky today, or even killed someone.

It would ruin Emperor Jing'an's birthday celebration, and even make the third prince suffer...

The fifth prince, seventh prince, and eleventh prince of the imperial party are all present at the scene, waiting for Feitian to fail...

And if today's flying mission is successful, haha, the benefits will not only be that Emperor Jing'an will receive a special birthday gift...

At this time, Yuan Qingbai walked up to Emperor Jing'an and calmly asked for instructions: "Grandfather, the hot air balloon is ready. Please give the order to fly into the sky."

Emperor Jing'an coughed dryly, pretending to be calm and dignified, and said loudly: "Feitian!"
