Chapter 2824: Wish Come True
Zhou Man thought for a moment and said, "You'll have to ask His Majesty about this."
Emperor: ...The imperial decree of demotion has not been issued yet, but you all know that she will be sent away.
The emperor finally met Zhou Man alone in his study. He asked her, "Xiao Yuanzheng has told you what you think of Qingzhou."
Zhou Man nodded and said, "Not bad."
The emperor said, "Then Qingzhou has been chosen. I will issue an edict tomorrow. You should prepare to take up your posts."
He said, "The position of county magistrate of Beihai County has been vacant for quite some time, and Qingzhou has just built a new medical office. You will have a lot of things to do when you get there."
Zhou Man then said, "The magistrate of Beihai County was replaced at the end of November. In comparison, Luozhou has been without a governor for a longer time."
She bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Governor He of Luozhou is seriously ill and has little time left. I request Your Majesty to select a new governor and allow Governor He to resign and return home."
The emperor sighed and said after a long silence: "Forget it, let him return home first."
The third son had already arrived in Beijing, so even if the governor left Luozhou, it wouldn't be a big deal. The emperor tapped his knee and said, "Send someone to Luozhou immediately to congratulate the governor for his hard work for the country. Promote him to the rank of Luozhou Governor and raise his reward by one level."
Gu Zhong immediately bowed in agreement and went back out to find the Secretariat to draft an edict.
By the way, he went to the Ministry of Personnel to find the resignation letter that had been kept there and asked the emperor to approve it, and then the official would send it to Luozhou at full speed.
Governor He, who was already at the end of his strength, suddenly became energetic after receiving the memorial and the imperial edict. He immediately said to Madam He, "Quick, pack up the carriages and horses. We will return home immediately."
Mrs. He laughed and cried, "Why are you in such a hurry? At least pack up your things."
Lord He shook his head and said, "I already feel that my time is running out. I can't afford to delay any longer. We can't afford to delay any longer. Let's take our close servants and return. Let the butler stay and sort out the rest."
Mrs. He agreed, holding back her tears.
Lord He was much more energetic and began to take charge of things, meeting people and making arrangements in an orderly manner. "Write to the gentlemen and ask them to ask for leave to return home. Their father can't bear it any longer. If they can make it in time, maybe they can see him for the last time."
He then met with the Chief Secretary and the Military Affairs Commissioner of the Provincial Governor's Office and warned them, "Prince Gong is not in Luozhou at the moment, but you must act with caution and avoid feasting. Luoyang has just experienced a snowstorm, so we must prioritize stability. The post of Luoyang County Magistrate is vacant, so the Chief Secretary will temporarily assume the duties."
He took a long breath before continuing, "The snow is about to melt. Now is the time to encourage people to study agriculture and sericulture."
He continued, "The Imperial Medical Bureau will definitely send someone to take over this medical department. I suspect it won't be one of the renowned doctors, or it will be Zheng Gu. The Medical Bureau can't stop them, so don't try to stop them. Your Majesty cares about the country and the people. Anyone who stands in your way will be killed. You only have one life, so cherish it."
The Chief Secretary and the Sima both nodded in agreement.
"We've worked together for many years, and this is all the advice I can give you. From now on, take care of yourselves."
"Sir..." The Chief Clerk and the Sima looked at Governor He with both emotion and sadness.
The Chief Secretary was promoted by Governor He, but he had only been in the position for two years, so his foundation was not stable. Although he had abilities, they were not amazing, so Governor He did not recommend him for the position of Governor. However, he was grateful to Governor He in his heart.
He wiped his tears and asked, "I see that your complexion has improved a lot since Lord Zhou came, and you no longer cry out in pain. It's clear that you are getting better. Why don't you ask Lord Zhou for help again..."
Governor He shook his head and said, "It was already at the end of its strength. Those were just illusions. How could I not know my body?"
"But you have two medical books left by your ancestors. The doctors in the mansion can't figure it out, but maybe you can."
Governor He still shook his head, "It's useless..."
His eyes seemed to be looking through them, "Master Wei said back then that my father's illness was discovered early, so he took medicine for more than ten years to control it. If it had been discovered too late, the disease would have penetrated into his bones, and even a great immortal wouldn't be able to save him."
But he still didn't believe it and didn't want to die, so after he found out that he was also sick, he went to great lengths to find Taoist Master Wei. When he didn't find him, he showed the two booklets to the doctors in the mansion. When the doctors couldn't understand them, he showed them to Zheng Gu and other famous doctors in Luoyang City.
They did understand some of it, and then took out the prescription from it and gave it to him. When it didn't work, he took out the prescription that Taoist Master Wei had written for his father and took the medicine according to that prescription.
Finally, a Taoist priest who was passing by heard the noise and came to see him. He said, "If six parts of your health are damaged by illness, then four parts are caused by improper use of medicine."
He flipped through the two volumes of notes left by Taoist Master Wei and said, "The records here are very complicated. It's not just one prescription for each illness. Even if it is one prescription for each illness, the doctor needs to prescribe different medicines according to the patient's condition. The doctor who is treating you now is just prescribing according to the book, and the prescriptions he prescribes are different every time. How can your body withstand it?"
"It would be better to hide this book and let the doctors prescribe medicine based on your condition and their knowledge. It may not get better, but at least it won't get worse than it is now."
Governor He listened to the other party's advice and from then on selected two doctors. He only invited them every time and only took the medicine prescribed by them.
His body actually gradually stabilized. Although he was still in great pain, he had been bedridden in August and September and felt like he was dying. But he was able to recover and lived until the twelfth lunar month.
He met Zhou Man again. After she gave him an acupuncture and changed the dressing, he not only felt the long-lost relief, but also felt less pain. After that, he was even more afraid to hand over the notes to Zhou Man at that time, for fear that she would lose her prescription like those doctors and prescribe according to the notes, and he would be the one who suffered.
Of course, there was no need to tell the two subordinates about these twists and turns. He said, "The emperor was able to approve my memorial this time thanks to Lord Zhou. I owe her a favor. If she needs you in the future, it won't be a big deal. Please give her a favor for my sake."
The Chief Secretary and the Sima agreed together.
The next day, Governor He returned to his hometown with a small entourage.
It was already the end of February when Manbao received his next letter. The letter was not from Lord He, but from Mrs. He. She told Zhou Man that they had returned to their hometown on the ninth day of the second month, and that Lord He had passed away on the thirteenth day of the second month...
Manbao received the letter, sighed, and put it in the box.
After thinking about it, she closed the doors and windows, entered the space, and went to the classroom to look at the anthropomorphic models.
Koko scanned He Shi's physical data and drew his blood. The anthropomorphic model has simulated He Shi's condition to the greatest extent. During this period, Manbao thought of many ways, and even wanted to remove the tumor on her stomach as Teacher Mo said, but she underwent twenty-one operations, and all twenty-one failed.
Manbao just stared at the anthropomorphic model without saying a word, so Koko had to interrupt her and said, "You have a guest, and they're already heading towards the main courtyard."
Manbao came to his senses and retreated. Just as he opened the door, he saw Madam Tang, holding her skirt and crossing the threshold of the courtyard. Seeing her, she smiled and said, "It's springtime, and everyone is putting on makeup for your niece in front. Why are you hiding in the main courtyard and not coming out?"
See you tomorrow
