Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 754 Abnormal (seeking a monthly ticket)
Fang Zhonggong thought a lot about the road from the capital to Rehe.

He knew in his heart that before leaving Beijing, Cao Yong's repeated instructions were all for his own good.Who is the queen mother?She is the mother of the country, the most honorable woman in the world.He is just a folk doctor, if there is something inappropriate in the prescription prescribed, it will not only be the crime of beheading, but it may also affect Qiniang.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhonggong decided to hide his clumsiness.The illness of the Empress Dowager was controlled by the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital, and when they arrived in Rehe, those imperial doctors were the leaders.

Thinking of this made him feel at ease.

I was somewhat curious in my heart, but it wasn't about the honorable empress, but about the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital.Those who can work in the Imperial Hospital are mostly from the Xinglin family, and some can be traced back to the previous dynasty.

Fang Zhonggong only lived in Fujian in his early years, and he also had contacts with several famous medical families in central and southern Fujian.When I arrived in the capital, I realized how small my vision was before.

Even if Tianhui's eye disease was cured by chance this time, he would not dare to be arrogant.

After living through Jiazi, you will know that the world is bigger than you imagined; some strange people in the world are as tall as mountains.

However, when he arrived in Rehe, things were not as Mr. Fang Zhong thought.

He was brought into the garden, but he was not taken to the Empress Dowager's Palace, but placed in a side room in the courtyard.

From the first day, "patients" began to come to him.Judging from the clothes of the patients, there are really all kinds of clothes, some are guards, some are handymen, some are officials, and there are eunuchs with weird voices and urine smell on their bodies.

The guard who brought him has gone out, and there are two more guards at the door.A ten-year-old boy came to the room, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, who helped Fang Zhonggong grind ink.

It's still the same sentence, "the doctor's parents' heart". By the time Fang Zhonggong felt something was wrong, he had already seen a dozen patients, read a dozen prescriptions, and even used golden needles on several of them.

After all the "patients" were carried away, he sat on a chair and began to think.Could it be that the guard delivered the wrong order, instead of summoning him to see a doctor for the Empress Dowager, but because there are not enough imperial doctors in the Rehe Palace, he was brought here to make up for it.

Mr. Fang Zhong only thought that the boy was too delicate, but after seeing the eunuch for a diagnosis, he realized that the boy was a young eunuch.

He is also an old man in his 60s. He arrived in Rehe with exhausted vehicles and horses all the way. He has only been busy for half a day, only feeling sore body and dry mouth.

At this time, the little eunuch came in with a tea tray, poured a cup of tea for Fang Zhonggong, and brought it to him.

Fang Zhonggong took a look at the little eunuch, he was younger than Qiniang, only eleven or two.He sighed inwardly, wanting to ask the little eunuch where he was, or something.The little eunuch put down the tea tray, lowered his head and walked out quickly.

From the entrance of the palace to this small courtyard, Mr. Fang Zhong saw what is called royal style.

Even the side room he is staying in now is more spacious and brighter than the main room of the rich man's house in southern Fujian.

After drinking the tea, Mr. Fang Zhong didn't dare to move rashly, nor did he dare to question again, so he just sat quietly and waited for the royal family's arrangement...

Summer Resort, southeast corner, Tai Hospital official office.

The complexions of the several imperial doctors were not good-looking, and it is not far from the capital to Rehe.The Cao family is not an ordinary family. The granddaughter of Cao's parents is the granddaughter of Prince Chun and the great-granddaughter of Jinshang.

As early as half a month ago, they heard the news that a "miracle doctor" came to the capital and cured Princess Rurui and Cao Yong's daughter who had an eye disease.

Some were curious about what prescription this doctor used, and some were curious about what rare and good medicine Cao Jiatao had replaced, but no one admitted that there was such a "miracle doctor".

Damn, if someone came out, he would be a "miracle doctor", so what are these old guys who were born in a family of famous doctors and their ancestors worked in the royal family?
Maybe that little girl from Cao's family is blind, and she didn't see the quack doctors in front of her.

I heard that the imperial decree appointed that person to come to Rehe to ask for the pulse of the Empress Dowager, and there were quite a few imperial physicians waiting to watch the excitement.

He's just a bumpkin from the countryside, and he may not even have good manners, so what kind of pulse would he ask for?They have worked in Tai Hospital for a long time, and they have put "rules" before medical skills.

Now, they couldn't laugh.

Before their eyes, there were more than 20 prescriptions, half of which were written by them, and half of which were made public.

The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are also divided into three, six, and nine ranks.Those with the best medical skills and the most senior qualifications are reserved for the emperor and empress, followed by concubines and princes and princesses, followed by officials and clan families, and the rest are better than outside doctors.

Today, it was Wei Zhu, the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, who passed on the emperor's oral order, ordering several old imperial physicians with the best medical skills, who were usually responsible for the pulse of the emperor and the empress dowager, to prescribe prescriptions for twelve patients.

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and the Sacred Will cannot be violated.

They could only put up all their energy and prescribe prescriptions for these people.They didn't know that these patients were taken away from them and transferred to a yard not far from them, where they were treated again by the "bump" they called.

Then, the squares on both sides were placed.Director Wei also came in person, and it was the emperor's oral order to ask these imperial physicians whether the difference between the two prescriptions was good or bad.

There are a few prescriptions for common diseases, and the prescriptions prescribed by that person are similar to those prescribed by the imperial hospital; if the illness is a bit complicated, the prescriptions of the two places are different.

Even if they were not convinced in their hearts, these imperial physicians would not dare to go against their conscience and say that Fang Zhonggong's prescription was problematic, but they would not admit that it was better than their prescription.

No matter where Wei Zhu was standing, seeing these old imperial doctors looking so ugly, he just felt amused in his heart.

In a word, what is it called?Yes, the frog in the well.

Could the person Master Cao found be an ordinary person?Wei Zhu had no chance to meet Little Princess Cao's family, but considering the appearance of his parents, the appointment was unmistakable, he must be a lovely child.Taking advantage of Master Cao's birthday, it's better to give this little Gege a gift in advance.

Waiting for Wei Zhu to think about both the useful and the useless, and before these imperial physicians spoke, he drooped his face and said in a toneless way: "My lords, the emperor is still waiting, so don't delay too much."

For a moment, everyone looked at one person, the imperial physician surnamed Xu who was most useful in front of the imperial court.

The Imperial Physician Xu had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "Boss Wei, this prescription is quite appropriate."

"'It's not too bad'?" Wei Zhu was a human sperm, so he knew that the emperor didn't want to hear such vague words.He glanced at Imperial Doctor Xu, and said: "Master Xu, please play according to the post, the emperor wants to hear the details. Whether it can be sent to the Empress Dowager's Palace to ask the Empress Dowager for pulse, I have to decide by mouth."

After hearing Wei Zhu's words, these imperial physicians knew it well.It seems that the emperor wanted to use that surname Fang to ask for the empress dowager's pulse, but he was worried about his medical skills, so he came here first.

This imperial doctor Xu has been serving as an official for the imperial court for many years, so he knows something about the emperor's temper. He is the most filial, and he really has nothing to say to the queen mother; moreover, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and it has become more and more moody in recent years.

Even if there was jealousy in his heart, when it was his turn to write, he would not dare to neglect in the slightest.Of the twelve prescriptions, which ones are more aggressive, which ones are better, and which ones are mediocre, he explained them all.For the others, I did not write a single word.

As for the level of Fang Zhong's public medical skills, whether he is qualified to ask for the empress dowager's pulse, that is for the emperor to decide, so he doesn't need to talk too much.

Wei Zhu was illiterate, so she didn't know what Doctor Xu wrote, but seeing him eloquently wrote a long article, she nodded, took the notebook and went back to report.

Kangxi read a lot of books, and he also dabbled in medical books.

After reading Taiji Xu's booklet and comparing the two prescriptions, he knew it well.Those so-called "mediocre" ones were just because they were prescribed common medicines, which were not as effective as good medicines.This is also normal, after all, this Fang Zhonggong used to be in the private sector and used to treat people's diseases a lot, so it is impossible to prescribe any precious medicinal materials.

The rest of the prescriptions are better than the prescriptions from Taitai Hospital.

The prescriptions of the Tai Hospital seek stability, and sometimes it really hurts people, and it may not be as good as the prescriptions outside.

Kangxi put down Dr. Xu's booklet, it seems that Fang Zhonggong has two tricks.

"Send someone over there, teach him the rules, and ask for pulse at the Empress Dowager's Palace tomorrow." Kangxi said to Wei Zhu after a little thought.

"Hey!" Wei Zhu agreed, bowed his head and backed out, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Even if the emperor is filial, what's the use of finding the best doctor in the world?The queen mother is old, she is about eighty years old, and it is not uncommon to feel uncomfortable every day or two.

Even if you are the mother of the country, you will inevitably suffer from life, old age, sickness and death.

On Fang Zhonggong's side, when someone came to teach him the rules, he also understood that the previous ones seemed to be for trial.

He was angry in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.Although he is a casual person, he also knows that the heavenly family is majestic and cannot be offended, so he can only silently follow others to learn the rules of asking for peace and pulse in the palace.

This year's prince elder brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother and others have all built gardens here, and they have to socialize here.

Seeing that they are brothers and sisters, the sisters-in-law are also very affectionate.

What happened in private is unknown.

The fourth elder brother is different from everyone else, except for the imperial errands, he rarely goes out.No one can find out his faults. No one knows the pain of "bereavement of his daughter". He spends all day in the Buddhist hall praying for the deceased daughter.

The gardens and Buddhist halls of King Yong's Mansion are quite different.

The fourth elder brother sat on the kang with a cold face. On the kang table was the latest news from the capital.The thirteenth elder brother didn't listen to him, and walked out of the thirteenth elder brother's mansion. It has been more than a month.

It didn't attract the anger of the emperor's father, nor was it reused as a knight, as if everything was the same as before.

The fourth elder brother looked at the dozen letterheads on the left side of the table, all of which were written by the thirteenth elder brother himself.Since the thirteenth elder brother left the house and started to resume communication, he began to write letters to the fourth elder brother, one letter every three days.

Among them, there are those about current events, as well as those of the powerful clan.

The fourth elder brother has many eyes and ears, and is no stranger to the above news.What's rare is that there are suggestions and experiences from the thirteenth elder brother about the government affairs.

In the early years, before the prince was abolished, the thirteenth elder brother had been the assistant of the fourth elder brother and worked with him on errands.

Thinking of this, the fourth elder brother's expression softened a lot.

Forget it, up to him.

When he saw the news from the Jehol Palace, the fourth elder brother couldn't help being stunned.

After receiving the pulse at the Empress Dowager's palace, Mr. Fang Zhong was taken to the imperial court, and then he was personally sealed by the imperial mouth. He is an eighth-rank imperial doctor and works in the imperial hospital.This is not a big deal, too many hospitals choose people from the people.

What seemed wrong was that Fang Zhonggong was hand-picked as one of the queen mother's exclusive imperial physicians after that, and he asked the queen mother for a pulse every three days.Every time I ask for pulse from the Empress Dowager's palace, I go to the imperial court to answer.

The fourth elder brother knows how the queen mother is.

Although there are uncomfortable times, it is not only that.I always feel that there seems to be something else...

Capital, Cao Mansion.

Because of Cao Xiang's affairs, Cao Yin turned a lot of hair white.He has only one younger brother, Cao Quan. Because of the great age difference between the two, they are called brothers, but in fact he is both father and brother.

It's just because the errands he took on in the early years were special, and there were many places where people were not seen. He didn't want his younger brother to get involved, so as to save his life from being unsettled and getting involved at some point.Therefore, after Cao Quan became an official, Cao Yincai did not keep him in Jiangning weaving mansion, but sent him outside to become an official.For this reason, gossip about "brothers' feud" came out.

Cao Quan died young, and Cao Yin waited for half a year, but he didn't recover. He also took care of the nephews and nieces left by his younger brother as if they were his own flesh and blood.

Cao Shuo's death had already made him feel very guilty, and later "taught" those boys who made Cao Shuo gamble.Although he didn't take his name, he also lost his fame and career.

For the young master and son of an official family, if his official career is cut off, he is a useless member of the family, and his life is just dawdling.

Cao Xiang gave up his great future for the sake of being a maid, which made Cao Yin really angry.Afterwards, a year passed, and the anger disappeared long ago, otherwise he wouldn't have spent half a day flipping through books in the study just to choose a good name for his nephew.

If Cao Xiang made another mistake, even if Cao Yin went underground, he would not be able to explain to his brother.

Cao Yong and Cao Song were also in a hurry, and both brothers drew up leave papers.On Cao Song's side, he asked for leave directly from the Minister of Internal Affairs who was on duty in the capital; Cao Yong's immediate superior was Kangxi.

Cao Song's papers were handed over, and Cao Yong's papers were all kept by Cao Yin.

As the emperor's confidant, you must know the importance.Although everyone talks about "family country" and "family country", we must remember that "country" always comes first and "family" comes after.

Cao Song is the eldest son of the second household. He travels thousands of miles for his younger brother. He has a deep brotherhood, and everyone should praise him. Cao Yong is his cousin. Because of his cousin's accident, he put down his errands, but he doesn't know the severity.

Cao Yong was stunned when he heard his father's words.

Even if he considers Cao Song, Cao Xiang, etc. as his own brothers in his heart, but in the eyes of outsiders, the next room is the next room, which is much better, it is "pretentious".

In this world, even concern for family members and siblings must be weighed against the results. What is this?
Since the people in Henan are in chaos, how can he rest assured that Cao Song will go?What if Cao Song is in danger again?Come out if one is not available, and then take another one in?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, it seemed that he was a little overbearing.Is it dangerous for Cao Song to go, and everything will be fine if he goes by himself?
However, next, Cao Yin's decision caused Cao Yong's opposition.

Cao Yin, going out of Beijing...

Merry Christmas, everyone.
