Chapter 2631 Stealing
The emperor sat on the couch with a sullen face and remained silent. Manbao put the medicine box aside and stood respectfully with his head bowed.
The emperor remained silent for a while, thinking about his own concerns before looking up at Zhou Man and asking, "Is there really no other way to treat Lord Wei's health?"
Man Bao replied "Yes", and after a moment's thought, he said, "Your Majesty, human thought is limited, and the mind is greatly exhausted. If you can't rest and recuperate, this disease cannot be cured." For example, the queen.
The Queen has looked much healthier in the past two years, but that's only because she wears the bracelet and has fewer respiratory illnesses.
But my body is still weak. Every once in a while, especially when the seasons change, my body cannot withstand the changes in temperature and will get sick.
Ultimately, it is because of excessive mental exertion and physical weakness that people are more prone to illness than ordinary people.
However, the Queen and Wei Zhi, one showed symptoms outwardly, while the other did not, so the Queen had been taking medicine for treatment, but Wei Zhi had not.
The emperor said sadly, "Whatever medicine you use, I will send someone to find it."
"Your Majesty, Lord Wei's illness cannot be treated with strong medicine. Even now, he should rest and recuperate, supplemented by decoctions. After a while, he should switch to honey pills, which are weaker and less toxic."
The emperor frowned, "Even good medicine can't be used?"
"One man's honey is another man's poison." Man Bao said, "Lord Wei has already been injured to the core. He is empty inside and needs to be slowly nurtured. If he uses a strong drug all at once..."
Even if the emperor didn't know much about medicine, he knew what the consequences would be.
The emperor pondered, "I remember Yin Huo's health has always been poor. Doctor Tan also said that he had a weak foundation and was empty inside."
"There are indeed similarities, but Lord Wei's condition was caused by overwork, while Yin's may have been congenital. Although the most fundamental difference is different, the symptoms are very similar."
"It's been rumored for a long time that Yin might die young, but isn't he alive and well now?"
"Yes, then he lives a very good life," Manbao said. "He doesn't have to worry about state affairs or studies. He can rest when he's tired and go out to relax when he's in a bad mood. He takes honey pills and medicinal food every day and occasionally gets acupuncture. Your Majesty, besides the last two points, Lord Wei can still do which of the first two points?"
"This disease cannot tolerate fatigue or exhaustion. You and Lord Wei don't want to rest, which cuts off the most basic path."
Yin Huo is living such a good life now. In the past, he was just like a tool. The pressure of having offspring for the whole family fell on him. Therefore, no matter how expensive the medicine was, it had little effect. He fell ill every few days, and he had to prepare a new coffin every one or two years.
But now his sixth sister has given birth to a child, and the child is named Yin. The old lady is only concerned about his health now. She is occasionally worried that he is unwilling to get married, but she will not force him like before.
He had his own house again, and spent most of the ten days living in his own county mansion, feeling very comfortable.
Now it was even better, having graduated directly from Chongwenguan, he could go shopping when he pleased, he had no worries about food and clothing, and he could use the gold and silver in the house as he pleased;
If you are unhappy, you can go to Huguo Temple to discuss Zen with Master Zhiren, or you can ask Bai Shan and others from the upper and lower yamen to go out and talk and chat. It is so comfortable.
Can Wei Zhi do it now?
Of course that is not possible. The emperor cannot leave Wei Zhi for the time being, and Wei Zhi does not want to leave the emperor for the time being.
At this time, the emperor and his minister looked at each other reluctantly, like lovers who were about to be forced to separate. Finally, the emperor ordered Zhou Man to treat Wei Zhi and forced Wei Zhi to rest for two days.
He felt he had to ask the Queen's opinion.
As for the opinions of the court officials, the emperor did not want to ask, and even asked Zhou Man to conceal Wei Zhi's condition. "When you go out, just say that you made a wrong diagnosis. Lord Wei, like me, just suffered from heatstroke."
He added, "You need to make two copies of his pulse diagnosis. The real one should be placed together with mine."
Manbao was stunned for a moment and then bowed in response.
Xiao Yuanzheng said that the Imperial Medical Bureau and the Imperial Hospital were different now. The Imperial Medical Bureau was an institution of the imperial court, so it did not need to listen to the emperor and should deal with the matter at hand.
But the Imperial Medical Service still only obeyed the emperor. The emperor's orders were the highest rules, and all rules could be changed under his orders.
Manbao bowed and retreated. Bai Shan and Lord Wei had already finished playing a game of chess. The two of them left the chessboard untouched and sat down to discuss state affairs.
It just so happens that the Secretariat and the Ministry of Personnel are a perfect match.
Seeing Zhou Man coming out with a medicine box, both of them looked over. Bai Shan subconsciously stood up to meet him, but after two steps he reacted. He paused and walked aside with a calm smile.
Lord Wei glanced at him and asked Zhou Man, "Lord Zhou, where is His Majesty?"
Manbao then remembered that he had forgotten one important thing - he had forgotten to give the emperor moxibustion.
She said with some distress: "His Majesty is in the room, Lord Wei, His Majesty invites you in."
Lord Wei withdrew his gaze from her face, stood up and went to find the emperor.
As soon as he left, Bai Shan walked up to her, looked her up and down, and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Manbao was stunned and felt very hungry. He covered his stomach and didn't say anything for a while.
Bai Shan sighed, "It's time for lunch..."
So you didn't even have breakfast.
Manbao whispered, "I slept too late last night. It was so cool in the palace, and I woke up late without realizing it..."
She originally wanted to have breakfast after practicing the Five Animal Exercises, but who knew that the emperor would suddenly complain of stomachache?
Bai Shan could only sigh. He took a look inside. Since he was under the emperor's nose, he didn't dare to say much. But he looked around and saw some snacks on the table not far away. He walked over and brought them over and placed them next to the chessboard. He pinched a piece for her to eat.
Manbao took a look and saw that it was the honeydew melon that the emperor loved to eat, so he reached out to take it and lowered his head to eat it.
There were not many snacks on the plate, just the rice cakes and red bean cakes that the emperor usually liked to eat, and a piece of mung bean cake. Manbao ate them in small bites.
When the emperor and Wei Zhi finished their conversation and came out, he saw an empty plate between them.
Bai Shan and Man Bao immediately stood up and saluted.
The emperor glanced at them and said, "President Bai and Minister Zhou, please stay and have lunch with us."
The two men bowed and agreed, then accompanied the emperor to have lunch.
The emperor often gave banquets to his ministers. Not to mention Wei Zhi, Manbao had no idea how many times he had dined with the emperor, so he was not nervous at all. Bai Shan occasionally had this opportunity after entering the Hanlin Academy, so he was also calm.
The four of them sat down to eat. As they ate, the emperor began to sigh and his face looked sad.
Wei Zhi asked calmly, "Your Majesty, is your stomach still hurting?"
See you at 9pm
