Chapter 458: So Rich
The emperor really needs someone to replace Doctor Li at this time.
Doctor Li is indeed too arrogant now. His daughter marrying Xiao Yanjing was considered a high-class marriage, but they, father and daughter, have been making a fuss in Prince Xiao's mansion for such a long time, making the whole capital city laugh at them.
After all, Prince Xiao’s mansion belongs to the royal family.
Watching the joke of Prince Xiao’s Mansion is equivalent to watching the joke of the royal family.
Prince Xiao came to complain to the emperor more than once, but the emperor had no way to make a decision for him. After all, they all needed Doctor Li.
But in the past, some of their patients could not be cured by Doctor Li, and they just thought that the illness was really too serious and could not be cured by the doctor, so they could only accept it.
After Fu Zhaoning appeared, they realized that there was another possibility that Doctor Li’s medical skills were not that good.
Now the emperor also hopes that another doctor with better medical skills than Dr. Li will appear.
Ge Qixing appeared at this time.
"Prince Xiao, where did you find this Doctor Ge?" The emperor summoned Prince Xiao into the palace to ask clearly.
"Your Majesty, I heard that an old friend of mine had just returned from another place. On his way back to Beijing, he happened to see Doctor Ge cure a seriously ill old man. He had already spread his fame over there. After my old friend came back, he told me about it, so I made a special trip to invite Doctor Ge."
Prince Xiao was finally able to straighten his back this year.
Previously, because of Fu Zhaoning's incident and the Li family's father and daughter's incident, he was laughed at by the whole city.
As soon as he went out, he felt that everyone was looking at him with mockery or pity, which made him not want to go out and see people.
But now, thanks to Ge Qixing, he felt that he could straighten his back again.
He really needs to treat Ge Qixing well.
"Have you asked someone to check his background? If his medical skills are really that good, he should be well-known in his hometown. This shouldn't be difficult to check, right?"
Speaking of this, Prince Xiao said to the emperor mysteriously, "Your Majesty, Doctor Ge was not exposed before."
"Hmm? What do you mean by not exposed?"
"Doctor Ge had a strange experience. It was originally a secret that could not be told, but he had something to ask of our Zhao Kingdom, so he told the secret in exchange for an opportunity to stay in the capital of Zhao Kingdom for a long time."
"Tell me about it." The emperor didn't understand what he meant for a moment.
"Doctor Ge is actually from Da He, the Da He Shen family. The emperor knows about this, right?"
"Of course I know this."
The emperor certainly knew about the top family that had helped Da He to establish and prosper. However, the Da He royal family was a donkey that was no longer useful. After the country was stable, they suppressed the Shen family in various ways. They also wanted to save face, so they didn't allow others to say anything.
"The wife of this Doctor Ge is the sister-in-law of the previous Patriarch of the Shen family. In other words, he and Patriarch Shen are brothers-in-law."
The emperor was surprised, "It's actually related to the Shen family? Didn't I hear that the current Shen Xuan of the Shen family has also been ill? Can't Doctor Ge cure him?"
"This matter is Dr. Ge's secret."
Doctor Ge still needs to come and talk to the emperor personally about this matter.
Ge Qixing was summoned to the palace again and told the emperor about his strange experience.
"Your Majesty, I only have some basic medical skills. I can treat colds, heat strokes, wounds, and children's fevers. Many barefoot doctors in the countryside can do these, so no one really regards me as a doctor."
Ge Qixing spoke slowly and sounded very honest, and his words were very credible.
"Then you now..." The emperor frowned.
"I used to have an ancestral house. After my father passed away, no one lived in it and I rarely went back. It was more than a year ago that the house was crushed by snow. I later found some time to go back and clean it up, and then I discovered that my father had a small dark room."
The emperor was a little overwhelmed by what he heard.
How is this the same as listening to storytelling?
"Then what?"
"There are quite a few things in the dark room. After I cleared them out, I found that there was information about my father's origins in it. He said that he was not originally from Dahe, but from Dongqing, and he was also the descendant of a family of Dongqing national doctors. At that time, he and my grandfather accompanied His Majesty on a diplomatic mission to Dahe, and brought some medical books and classics with him, hoping to communicate with Dahe."
hiss.
The emperor couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.
Dong Qing!
Is he really from Dong Qing?
I heard that Zhaoguo also got a lot of things from Dongqing back then. It's not a very glorious thing to say, the people of Zhaoguo don't know about it, and he himself is not very clear about it.
Perhaps only those old royal ministers who are now old and gray-haired know something about it.
But the emperor knew that it was not glorious after all, so he did not want to ask clearly. Dong Qing had been gone for a long time, and it was not Zhao State that destroyed him. Who cares what happened in the past?
But now, facing such a descendant of Dong Qing, the emperor felt a little uncomfortable and looked a little embarrassed.
But looking at Ge Qixing's expression, he seemed not to care about anything happening in Zhao State, so he continued asking.
"Then what?"
"I don't know why these medical books and pharmacopoeias were not given to Da He, but since they were not given out back then, there must be a reason. It is impossible for me to give them up now." Ge Qixing said.
The emperor nodded immediately, "Of course, of course, I can understand that."
What's the point of giving it to Dahe?
Give them Zhaoguo!
If he could find a batch of medical books and pharmacist classics during his reign, and personally take the lead in setting up a medical institute to train more doctors, this would definitely be a political achievement that would make him famous for generations.
Then the people will all sing praises to him!
The emperor couldn't help salivating when he thought of this. "How many medical books and medicinal classics are there?"
"It filled up an entire large wooden box. There were sixty-six books in total!"
"hiss!"
The emperor gasped in shock. He was truly shocked. How could there be so many?
He originally thought there might be only seven or eight books, which would be a lot, but he never expected there were sixty-six!
This is really amazing!
You have to know that there has already been a medical gap in the world, otherwise how could the status of doctors be so high as it is now?
A well-written medical book with many rare prescriptions can be said to be priceless. Now Ge Qixing has sixty-six copies!
"Your Majesty, some books are just a few thin pages." Ge Qixing still explained, lest the emperor think that they are all thick.
That's amazing too!
One book is enough for the whole family to show off, and Ge Qixing has sixty-six books.
Isn't Ge Qixing a super rich man now? The word "rich" is far from enough, because this is not only about money, but also fame and prestige!
He is treated as a guest of honor wherever he goes.
