"Have you met the miracle doctor herself? Have you accepted her as your master?"
The emperor looked at Tao Yuanzheng and asked him teasingly.
"In reply to Your Majesty, I did see her, but since the master refused to accept a disciple, I shamelessly claimed to be her disciple."
Tao Yuanzheng is telling the truth.
"You actually rushed to be her apprentice. How can you have the face to stay in the medical world in the future? Aren't you afraid that the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital will laugh at you?"
The emperor really couldn't understand why Yuan Zheng, whose current medical skills were among the best in the whole of Daliang, had to rush to become someone else's apprentice.
That other person was still a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old.
"Your Majesty, you won't say that after you've seen these two pills."
Tao Yuanzheng handed the emperor a small bottle containing two life-extending pills.
Gao Zhijun guessed correctly. The director did give the emperor two life-extending pills.
Gao Zhijun is really good at predicting things and is always right in her predictions.
The emperor picked up the vial, looked at the pills inside, and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"This is called the Life-Sustaining Pill. As long as there's still a breath left, it can pull someone back from the brink of death."
"These two pills were given to the emperor by Master."
Tao Yuanzheng explained the effect of the life-extending elixir and gave the credit to his master.
"Life-extending pill? Is it really that magical?"
The emperor totally didn't believe it. If there really was such a magical medicine in the world, would anyone still die?
The emperor missed a question. There is a life-extending elixir, but it is very rare. After all, it is difficult to find it.
Besides, not everyone can afford such precious pills.
"Your Majesty, if you open it and smell it, you will know whether it is real or not."
Sometimes, no matter how much you say, it is not as convincing as verifying it yourself. Only facts speak louder than words.
The emperor opened the bottle cap and a rich scent of ginseng wafted out, along with the scent of Ganoderma lucidum. "Is this the King of Ginseng?"
As a person in power in the court, he has a lot of good things in his hands.
He had eaten thousand-year-old ginseng once and could still taste it.
So, as soon as he opened the bottle cap, he felt the smell was familiar and knew that there was thousand-year-old ginseng inside.
He knew how precious and hard to find ginseng was.
Especially the older ginseng is hard to come by.
Not to mention the thousand-year-old ginseng king, which you may never meet in your lifetime.
“Yes, there are thousand-year-old ginseng kings, eight-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and many other herbs that even I cannot smell.
Now, Your Majesty, do you believe it is true or not?"
Tao Yuanzheng explained.
"I believe it. Since Divine Doctor Gao gave me such a precious pill, I naturally have to reward her.
Also, she donated a prescription for curing the plague and saved the people of Daliang. What should I reward her with?"
The emperor was so excited when he knew that the life-extending elixir was real!
With the life-extending pill, he has an extra life.
No, it should be two lives.
No, since Doctor Gao can make life-extending pills, he believes that she still has a lot of them. As long as he buys a few from her, he can live a hundred years.
The emperor sitting on the throne is actually most afraid of death.
The imperial power gave him great authority, and what he feared most was losing the feeling of being worshipped by court officials.
Therefore, like the emperors of all dynasties, he also wanted eternal life and wanted to obtain the elixir of life.
Unfortunately, he was not so arrogant as to think he could achieve what his ancestors could not.
Therefore, after he became emperor, he devoted himself to serving the people and did not use any elixir of life.
Unexpectedly, God sent him a miracle doctor who might be able to create an elixir of life.
Your Majesty is too imaginative. If there really is an elixir of immortality, I'm afraid the world would be full of monsters.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to grant Master an official position, even if it is a sinecure.
"Master, if you want to open a clinic to benefit the people, you will definitely hinder the prosperity of others. Some ministers may even want to seize it for themselves. Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of the people, give Master a sinecure."
Actually, Tao Yuan came up with this idea while he was on his way back to Beijing, after thinking about it for a long time.
Once the life-extending elixir comes out, all forces will definitely be ready to take action.
As a dean, I cannot always be by my master's side.
If any minister wanted to rob and plunder and used some shady tricks, the master would be unable to defend himself.
If the master has a sinecure, and this sinecure is not low, those evil spirits will not dare to act rashly.
This is why he risked his life and begged the emperor to give his master an idle official position.
"My dear, you have really been brainwashed by her.
However, you are right, she saved the people of the world, and the reward I give her cannot be too shabby.
According to your wish, I will confer the title of County Princess on her.
If the clinic she opened truly benefits the people, I will consider making her a princess, depending on her merits."
The emperor was not at all disgusted by Tao Yuanzheng's request, as he had the same intention.
If she were to be named the county lady, she would definitely be grateful and would give her a few more life-extending pills.
Although he had this intention, he couldn't agree too readily and always had to be a little embarrassed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I thank you on behalf of Master. Your Majesty is truly a wise ruler who loves his people like his own children."
Having gotten what he wanted, Tao Yuanzheng poured out words of praise as if it didn't cost him any money.
"Alright, stop flattering me. If you keep going, I'll start to suspect I'm not the emperor, but a deity."
The emperor was very pleased with the praise, but he didn't like people saying he was a wise ruler.
"hey-hey!"
"Your Majesty, my master said that after I return to report, she will let me go to Taizhou to teach me surgery. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to go to Taizhou to learn surgery."
While the emperor was happy, Tao Yuanzheng made his second request.
