"Excellent! Excellent ambition!"
Emperor Ganwu's eyes narrowed, and after silently repeating Sun Jian's words several times in his mind, he immediately gave his approval and praise.
It seems this kid has only now made me see him in a new light.
Emperor Ganwu was immediately overjoyed. With a minister like Sun Jian, how could he not accomplish great things? How could he not unify the nine provinces?
Regardless of whether Sun Jian's treatment was successful today, even if he were to pass away the next moment, he could leave peacefully and without worry.
With ministers like Sun Jian and Yao Tianzheng, the factional strife and chaos that would have ensued were probably not as severe as he imagined. All he needed to do was arrange things normally and act as an emperor would for his ministers.
After Emperor Ganwu finished speaking, Yao Tianzheng immediately followed up, saying, "Sir, your words have impressed me greatly. Please accept my bow!"
"Lord Yao, this is absolutely unacceptable..."
Sun Jian was startled and hurriedly tried to dissuade Yao Tianzheng from doing so, but Yao Tianzheng immediately stopped Sun Jian.
"Oh, sir, please don't refuse! I am a scholar, and I will lead all scholars in the world to pay homage to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Tianzheng respectfully put his four fingers together and bowed deeply to Sun Jian with the highest level of respect.
Of course, it wasn't just Yao Tianzheng who made this gesture; even Zhuang Qishi, Li Ke, Yi Youwei, Mi Zhu, Xing Kang, and others beside him all struck a pose and bowed deeply to Sun Jian.
Needless to say, the four imperial physicians and Wang De and others were in the same situation.
This bow is not a senior bowing to a junior, but a scholar bowing to his teacher!
Sun Jian's achievements and his previous remarks were enough to warrant such courteous treatment from Yao Tianzheng and others.
Seeing how everyone treated him, Sun Jian felt somewhat embarrassed.
He had thought that his words would move everyone, but he never expected the scene to turn out this way.
The reactions of the crowd were completely unexpected by Sun Jian.
Apart from Emperor Ganwu, all the key ministers bowed to him with the highest rites of the Great Gan Dynasty. What immense admiration and respect that must have been!
This made him feel a little embarrassed at that moment to ask Emperor Ganwu for any more rewards.
Sun Jian considered himself to have a thick skin, but he didn't say it was thick enough to warrant such praise.
Thoughts can change so quickly sometimes.
After all, he had already put on a show for himself, and now he was expected to take advantage of him. Sun Jian felt a little guilty, as if he were taking advantage of someone else's misfortune.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Sun Jian took the initiative to change the subject; otherwise, such praise might have continued for who knows how long.
Sun Jian then steered the conversation back to the medical knowledge and treatment issues following the death of Emperor Ganwu.
In short, it's very simple: machine-assisted devices should not be stopped; ideally, they should be used all day long.
For example, assistive devices and ventilators.
Nutritional diets should not be taken lightly. It's not about eating whatever is good. Right now, we need to maximize the nutrition provided to Emperor Ganwu while also supplementing his diet with dietary therapy based on his current physical condition.
Sun Jian didn't need to worry too much about this. He only needed to state his purpose, and he believed that these imperial physicians, who had spent most of their lives practicing medicine, would naturally take care of this matter for Emperor Ganwu.
Next up are the oral medications, which Sun Jian had already categorized by time of day, clearly marking which ones to take in the morning, which ones to take at night, and which ones to take after meals.
There's no need to worry too much about the IV infusion. The imperial physicians can manage it themselves in the next few days. Sun Jian has already inserted an indwelling needle into Emperor Ganwu, so there's no need to repeat the procedure. The IV medication has also been prepared. It will be administered once a day, and after seven days, the dosage can be adjusted or stopped depending on the situation.
Intravenous infusions can disrupt the body's balance, just as taking medication can increase the burden on the liver and kidneys.
Emperor Qianwu's health is currently too poor to withstand any further strain, so we must be careful and cautious in every aspect of these matters.
Sun Jian had much more to say than just that; he explained almost every detail and point of attention.
There was also a machine to monitor Emperor Ganwu's physical condition, which had to be plugged in at all times to check his feedback.
They naturally couldn't understand Sun Jian's high-tech setup, let alone why these strange boxes made sounds.
Fortunately, they knew that Sun Jian was an extraordinary person, so they did not have much difficulty accepting these things.
In a dry year with clear skies, they suddenly receive torrential rain. What else can't they accept?
After explaining everything, Sun Jian did not forget to give Emperor Ganwu his own instructions.
Since his own health was at stake, Emperor Ganwu naturally listened attentively to Sun Jian's reminders and advice.
After arranging these matters, Sun Jian originally intended to retire directly, but unexpectedly, Emperor Ganwu called him back and asked him to participate in the discussion of other matters.
The topics of discussion were not complicated; they were simply about planning and arranging for the current situation, the political climate, the turmoil in the court, and Li Gancheng's wedding.
After discussing for about an hour, Sun Jian finally left the Taiji Hall with Mi Zhu and Xing Kang, who were urging him to expedite the arrangements for the Crown Prince's wedding.
Throughout the journey, Mi Zhu and Xing Kang treated Sun Jian with utmost respect and courtesy.
He even proactively asked Sun Jian many questions, just like a junior asking a senior for advice.
As they parted, Mi Zhu reminded Sun Jian to pay close attention to Lin Jingsi.
Sun Jian naturally understood Mi Zhu's implication and cupped his hands in response, saying he would be careful.
Although Sun Jian was very important to the Great Gan Dynasty and was highly valued by Emperor Ganwu and Crown Prince Li Gancheng, this did not mean that no one would try to trip him up.
This is similar to the struggle for succession among the nine princes during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, in Sun Jian's previous life.
What use are you if you're important?
What use is it if you have great achievements and are favored by the emperor?
Those who want to harm you will at most be wary, but they won't stop targeting you. Besides, Emperor Ganwu and the Crown Prince are the ruler and the heir apparent, respectively. Even if they want to clear obstacles for you, they need to have corresponding evidence and consider the consequences behind the matter, rather than abandoning the entire court, civil and military officials, and disregarding the law for the sake of one person.
Even Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, who is known as one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history, had many constraints. If he wanted to get rid of a minister, he could not simply kill him. He had to put in a lot of effort and consider all aspects carefully. This is what is meant by "pulling one hair affects the whole body".
…………
After leaving the palace, Sun Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Performing was truly exhausting!
