Chapter 1774 Recommendation
emperor:……
He glared at Gu Zhong in reproach, but didn't really care that he was making excuses for her.
He simply relaxed on the pillow and asked, "Tell me, what are you happy to see me do?"
Manbao felt that he hadn't done anything yet, so he said, "Your Majesty, let me treat you first."
The emperor became more interested in her because of her reserve and concealment.
Manbao took his pulse and asked him some questions. He found out that he probably caught a cold when he got up in the morning. This minor illness was not difficult to treat. He just needed to take some medicine, sweat a little, and avoid certain foods for two days.
Manbao's service was particularly attentive. She even took out a needle bag to give him an acupuncture. Perhaps she knew that he was always working at his desk, so his neck was not very comfortable. After the acupuncture to treat his cold, she also considerately gave him acupuncture on the back of his neck, which made him relax a lot.
The emperor felt even more that something was wrong with Zhou Man.
The emperor twisted his neck and felt a lot more relaxed. His mood improved and he was more relaxed to talk to Zhou Man. He said happily, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Manbao sat upright, folded his hands on his knees, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, let me recommend a talented person to you."
The emperor thought she was talking about some common doctor, so he nodded and asked sternly, "Who is he, and what are his abilities?"
Manbao also said seriously: "He has the talent of Guan Zhong. You will lose a lot if you don't use him."
emperor:……
He couldn't help but tilt his head to look at Zhou Man carefully, and asked doubtfully, "Is it Guan Zhong or Bian Que or Hua Tuo or something like that?"
"How can Yang Xuexiong have the ability of Bian Que and Hua Tuo?" Man Bao strayed from his position for a moment, then quickly recovered and said, "I recommended Yang Heshu."
Emperor: "...Yang Heshu is currently serving as an official in the imperial court. Do we still need your recommendation?"
Manbao sighed and said, "But isn't he about to be exiled from the capital now? Many people say that he was implicated by the Yang family. His future is probably uncertain."
Manbao sat on a stool and spoke to the emperor from the heart, "Xiaoxiong Yang is really amazing. He is the most amazing official I have ever met, even more amazing than Lord Wei."
The emperor was not convinced. Although he disliked Wei Zhi in many ways, he did not think Yang Heshu was better than Wei Zhi. "Are you drawing this conclusion based on appearances?"
Seeing that the emperor was suspicious of her, Manbao immediately straightened her expression and said, "Who said that? I haven't seen many of him before, so I didn't know he was so handsome outside."
The emperor felt there was something wrong with this statement, and after thinking it over twice, he finally realized, "You didn't think he was good-looking when you met few people, but you think he's good-looking when you met more people? What kind of statement is this?"
Manbao said, "Because Bai Shan and I are not bad looking."
She said confidently, "Since we were little, Bai Shan and I have been the smartest, best-looking, and fairest people in our area. Many families like to ask us to be bed-rollers at weddings. Back then, our teacher told us that there are always people better than us, and there are many people out there who are smarter and prettier than us. He told us not to be conceited."
Manbao sighed, "Later, when we met Senior Yang, we thought he looked just as good as us. After meeting a few more times and talking more, we realized he was no less stupid than us. At the time, we wondered how many amazing people there were out there. But when we arrived in the capital, we realized Senior Yang was actually one of the most amazing people out there."
emperor:……
He always felt upset, but what she said was so humble that he couldn't find any words to refute her.
The emperor opened his mouth for a long time. For the first time, he realized that he had nothing to say when facing others except Wei Zhishi.
The emperor did not show his support, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. The old and the young looked at each other innocently, without saying a word for a while.
Manbao asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, are you going to vent your anger on Brother Yang? Can I ask for mercy for him?"
The emperor finally found his voice and asked, "How old were you when you met him?"
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "About seven or eight years old."
The emperor felt relieved. He was still young and didn't know how to express his longing. He was too lazy to discuss this with a child, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I understand. He is my subject. As long as he has talent, I will definitely use him. There is no need for you to come and recommend him again."
Man Bao glanced at the emperor with some suspicion, and emphasized again: "Xuexiong Yang is very capable, he loves the people, and he will become a pillar of the country in the future. If you don't use him, it will not only be a loss for you, but also for the entire Jin Dynasty."
The emperor asked again: "Really not based on appearance?"
Manbao: "Am I that kind of person?"
The emperor stroked his chin and thought, it seems that Yang Heshu is more powerful and charming than he thought.
Manbao was already rambling, "...He said a long time ago that his wish was for the people of the world to be free from hunger and for everyone to live and work in peace and contentment. Your Majesty, honestly, among all the civil and military officials in the court, how many of them actually hold such a view while serving as officials?"
"Everyone wants to achieve great things and bring honor to their family." Man Bao sighed and said, "To be honest, Your Majesty, I became an official partly because of the Imperial Medical Bureau. If Your Majesty hadn't told me that medical bureaus would be built in various places in the future, I wouldn't have wanted to be an official. The other half is to make my parents happy."
emperor:……
He nodded and said, "Your reason is also very good."
Manbao shook his head. "It's far inferior to Brother Yang. Alas, I later became obsessed with Zhitian. It really shouldn't have happened."
The emperor thought for a moment and then said to her, "As for Yang Heshu, I've made a note of it. The Ministry of Personnel has already decided to send him out of the city. As long as he does well, he'll have plenty of opportunities for promotion in the future."
He said, "Since his heart is in the people's livelihood, he should be sent out for a few more years. Otherwise, if he stays in the capital, he will lack experience and will be powerless even if he has the will."
Manbao's eyes lit up when he heard this. "So you also recognize his talent?"
The emperor nodded. "I approve, I approve. Please quickly give me a prescription and then go back. It's getting late, and it's time for lunch."
He was afraid that if she didn't leave, he would really laugh in front of her.
It was the first time that Manbao was driven away, but he didn't care. He happily saluted the emperor and went out to write a prescription.
Gu Zhong quickly brought in the prescription for the emperor to see, and after reading it, he sent someone to go to the Imperial Hospital with Zhou Man to get the medicine.
Manbao still has to go back to file a case.
She came happily and left happily. Even the emperor could sense her joy. He couldn't help but ask Gu Zhong, "Could it be that she has been waiting to see me for a long time, and that's why she is so happy to see me now?"
Gu Zhong smiled and said, "Doctor Zhou is still young and doesn't hide his feelings very well."
"It's better if you can't hide it. I don't even want to see your faces when you're like this."
Gu Zhong could only smile and admit his guilt.
The emperor seemed to be lost in thought. "So, do you think she was hoping for me to get sick?"
Gu Zhong was stunned and didn't dare to laugh.
The emperor just thought about it and quickly let the matter go.
He stood up and said, "Let's go to the Queen's place for lunch."
See you at 9pm
