Practicing Medicine in the Tang Dynasty

Wang Fulai carefully observed Tianhou's expression, and saw that the smile on her face was as usual, so he considered and said, "Why don't I ask the minister to invite the princess over?"

Tianhou loosely held a string of longevity-character beads on her wrist, moving them leisurely one by one, the sound of the beads rolling against the palm was as soft as a bird's feather brushing against a treetop, but it shocked Wang Fulai's back to produce ooze cold sweat.He couldn't help taking a step back: "The minister made a foolish argument."

The Queen of Heaven just gave him a sideways glance, with a faint smile in her eyes: "It's been a long time since such laughter has been heard in the palace."

Wang Fulai smiled apologetically, and said word by word: "That's right, the Princess and the King of Nan'an have grown up together since they were young, so naturally they are less restrained."

Tianhou smiled noncommittally, and her eyes fell on the smiling young man beside Taiping: "Who is that imperial doctor who is playing with them?"

Wang Fulai has always been proficient in the affairs of the palace, and he recognized it just by looking at it from a distance: "It's Dr. Shen's apprentice, named Wu Yi."

When mentioning this name, Tianhou couldn't help but take a look twice: "This is the imperial doctor Taiping Baba and I want to ask for? He is indeed a good-looking talent, and the apprentices taught by Shen Hanshan are very good."

Wang Fulai knew the key to this matter, so he didn't dare to say too much: "The princess has always been determined since she was a child, and she has her own reasons for wanting to employ people."

"You're right. This child Taiping has a stubborn temper since she was a child. I don't allow her to leave the palace, and she also asks her elder brother Hong to sneak out together." Mentioning the old man's name, Tianhou had a misty smile on her face. There was also a momentary stagnation, but it quickly broke through like ice and water, without leaving a trace, "I am afraid that this palace sent her to Tubo, and she will run back by herself. How can the diplomatic relations between the two countries be a joke? The Prime Minister of Tubo This is a big problem for me.”

After all, the brows were unconsciously drawn together, revealing worries outside rarely.

In addition to the obvious reasons, there are deeper emotions that she can't help but think about.

Taiping is also the only daughter under her knees, and she has been raised by her side for several years. Since Princess Andingsi passed away, she begged countless times in front of the Buddha before she begged for a healthy daughter. All the guilt and longing are pinned on Taiping.

Over the years, although she was strict on the surface, she was always indulgent in her heart. Now if she wants to send her daughter to a foreign country, it is tantamount to plucking out a piece of flesh in her heart. How can she not hurt her heart?

Over the past few years, swords and swords have passed by, she has been in pain for a long time, and she is used to it. The scars around her body have become a heavy armor, protecting her indestructible mind, making her a fearless person in the eyes of others. the superior.

But hedgehogs still have soft bellies, let alone humans?

She smiled wearily and couldn't help frowning.

Seeing her groaning for a while, Wang Fulai already had a sense of proportion in his heart. Tianhou was unwilling to give away her only young daughter, but she lacked a reason to refuse Tubo, and this reason must always be brought up.

He has been walking in the palace for decades without falling down, not by a pair of diligent legs, but by a mouth that knows how to advance and retreat.

"Actually, I feel that it is absolutely inappropriate for the princess to marry."

Tianhou frowned: "Where did you say that?"

Wang Fulai smiled and said: "Madam, do you still remember that in the fourth year of Xianheng, the princess prayed for your mother, Mrs. Rong Guo, to become a monk and became a female Taoist priest? Although the princess has always only grown her hair and practiced, her status has always been They're all there."

He stopped talking until he clicked, waiting for Tianhou to make his own decision.

Tianhou didn't think of this, so she nodded and said: "You are right. Since Taiping is a monk, there is absolutely no reason to marry relatives. I am really old, and my memory is not very good. Fortunately, you are a If you have a clear eye and a careful heart, otherwise our magnificent Tang Dynasty will become a joke of the world!"

"The Queen of Heaven has to worry about the world, not like a minister who only focuses on the palace. There are some trivial things that I can't remember." Wang Fulai didn't show a trace of joy, and still had a pleasing look, "I just don't know if Tubo's envoy can stop here give up."

"I remember that Mansong Mangzanzanpu has another daughter, and she is six or seven years old now, right?" The queen's gaze fell on the young man in brocade clothes, "Jing'er will reach the age of marriage in a few years. , I think these two people are quite suitable."

Wang Fulai followed her words and said: "That's right, the King of Nan'an County is also a rare young hero in our clan, if he wants to come to Tubo, there is no reason to refuse."

"There are other royal family members of the same age, they can be picked out together, and let them pick out a good son-in-law by themselves." Tian Hou pondered for a moment before adding, "Prepare an order for me to build a Taiping Temple , Let Taiping continue to grow hair and practice."

After all, he didn't bother the others to play around, just supported Wang Fulai's hand, and slowly returned to the Ganlu Hall.

-

The conversation between master and servant silently changed the fate of several people.

The last time I chose a son-in-law for the princess of Silla, Tang was the country that won the war, and Silla was the country that was defeated, so it can be perfunctory.And this time, the kinship with Tubo is based on the fact that Tubo has become stronger and stronger, and it has taken more than ten states in the western region. Naturally, it should not be underestimated.

Therefore, after a Yi decree came down, everyone in Li Tang's clan was panic-stricken, fearing that he would become a suitable talent in the eyes of the Queen of Heaven, and leave his homeland and go to a foreign country from now on. Once gone, he would never look back.

Li Jing, who was fifteen years old at the time, was naturally the most likely candidate in the eyes of outsiders who had nothing to do.

Firstly, he and Puzan's daughter are of suitable age, which is in line with the wedding ceremony, and secondly, he is the descendant of Concubine Xiao Shu, who was the mortal enemy of Tianhou back then. For its purpose, sending him to Tubo for marriage can be said to be the best treatment.

All of a sudden, rumors spread everywhere, and even the Imperial Medical Office couldn't avoid it.

"Brother Imperial Physician, is there any way you can help Jing'er?" Taiping knew that this time was also to avoid getting married.

Wu Yi was stumbled by her, and couldn't even read the book quietly. He could only raise his head from a line of neat cursive writing: "What can I do if the princess can't do anything about it?"

Taiping saw that his face was calm as usual, and he still looked calm, so he couldn't help being a little annoyed: "Are you willing to let Jing'er go to Tibet? Princess Wencheng got married and failed to return home for decades. If Jing'er went That place will definitely not be able to return to Chang'an."

But Wu Yi just smiled back: "Tubo is not a land of tigers and wolves, and the king of the county is not a sheep. Princess don't have to worry too much."

Although his attitude was soft, his stand was extremely firm, and Taiping couldn't help stamping his feet angrily: "I didn't expect that you, like others, would only flatter mother's words."

After finishing speaking, he covered his angry little face and walked away.

When Taiping was far away, Wu Yi put down the medical scriptures in his hand and let out a long breath of relief.

It's not that he doesn't understand the truth in Taiping's mouth, nor is he pretending to be stupid, but has a longer-term plan.

In the eyes of others, the Tianhou Party and the Donggong Party are at odds at this time. Prince Li Xian is determined to forge ahead and show off his charm. He is naturally the best candidate for the crown prince; With great power in hand, there is also the potential to take charge of the government.

In their poor imagination, this is at most a power struggle between the queen and the prince, between the queen mother and the emperor. The world is always surnamed Li, and it is impossible for a woman to take the throne.

But Wu Yi knew very well that this wise, wise, resolute and decisive woman was not only willing to be a queen, queen, or queen mother who listened to politics behind the curtain.In the not-too-distant future, she will lift the curtain that obscures her vision, and walk on the dragon chair that several generations of Li Tang emperors have sat on.

At that time, the descendants of the Li family will undoubtedly become the victims of this political catastrophe. As the descendants of Concubine Xiao Shu, Li Sujie and Li Jing's father and son will not be able to escape so easily.

If they could go to Tubo to make peace at this time, they would be able to stay away from this bloody political struggle in advance, get out of the vortex, and achieve a safe result.

What he was thinking in his mind had already surpassed what he had seen for a while, so it was naturally impossible to come with the young Taiping one by one.

I tried to calm down and read a book, but I couldn't read a single word.

With every stroke and stroke, they all resemble that person's eyebrows and eyes, joy, anger and laughter, all appearing in front of his eyes.

Knowing is one thing, being willing is another.

Even Taiping is reluctant to let Jing'er go away, how can he, as a master, be willing to let go?

Just as he was full of emotions, he heard a knock on the door. Wu Yi looked up and saw that it was Wang Juan, the eunuch in charge of the Tai Chi Hall.

"Mr. Wu is here so it's easy for me to find." Wang Juan has more and more learned his master Wang Fulai's tricks. He doesn't show his emotions on his face and always smiles, "The prince of Nan'an County just got acne My son, it happens that Dr. Shen is not in the Imperial Medical Office, so I just want to invite Mr. Wu to take a look."

Wu Yi was surprised for a moment, but more worried: "Why did the pimple suddenly appear? When did this happen?"

Wang Juan said: "It's only a couple of days, so let Mr. Wu go and see for himself."

Wu Yi didn't have time to ask any more questions, he hastily put down the scroll in his hand, and followed Wang Juan to the Tai Chi Hall.
