Upon hearing this, Leifu felt greatly relieved and said with a grateful smile, "Thank you so much, Sage of Medicine, for saving my life!"
"A doctor's heart is benevolent, you don't need to be so polite." Zhang Zhongjing waved his hand indifferently.
Zhang Zhongjing packed his things and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Leifu quickly stopped Zhang Zhongjing and said sincerely, "Medical Sage, please wait!"
After saying that, Leif waved his hand, and a personal guard walked in carrying a box.
"This humble gift is but a token of my gratitude. If the Sage of Medicine ever needs me, Laifu, I will go through fire and water for you!"
Leif opened the box; it was a box of gold!
Zhang Zhongjing was taken aback, then refused, saying, "I save people only because I am a doctor, not because I covet these things."
“But Sage of Medicine, you are now…” Leif hesitated, noticing that Zhang Zhongjing’s clothes were rather shabby.
This box of gold could have improved his life, yet he refused it?
"With my medical skills, if it were for money, people could keep sending me money."
"Take it back!"
“This…” Leif scratched his head awkwardly.
Zhang Zhongjing looked at Laifu and said calmly, "You don't need to worry. Your master is a lucky man, he will definitely wake up."
With that, Zhang Zhongjing turned and left.
“The Sage of Medicine…” Leifu exclaimed.
Zhang Zhongjing's figure faded into the distance and disappeared through the doorway.
............
Lu Li once again fell into a state of feigned death, while the world underwent tremendous changes.
Because the Yellow Turban Army attacked Hulao Pass again, Lu Zhi had no choice but to disobey General He Jin's orders and return to Hulao Pass.
He Jin had no choice but to summon Dong Zhuo to Luoyang to eliminate the Ten Attendants!
Strangely enough, Zhang Rang disappeared!
After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he swiftly annihilated the Ten Attendants. But as the saying goes, it's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away.
Now that he had led an army of 200,000 to Luoyang, how could Dong Zhuo just leave like that?
Therefore, he stayed on the grounds of fighting against the Yellow Turban rebels.
After Dong Zhuo took control of Luoyang, his first act was to summon various warlords to fight against the Yellow Turbans, and he also ordered Li Ru to send assassins to kill General He Jin.
Although Dong Zhuo had the upper hand in this political struggle, he was not without worries.
After all, the young emperor was Liu Bian, and He Jin was his uncle.
Moreover, the Han Dynasty is still the legitimate dynasty. If Dong Zhuo wants to go further, he must depose Liu Bian and install a puppet emperor, namely Liu Xie!
Therefore, Dong Zhuo had to eliminate his rivals and bring Liu Bian down before Liu Bian could consolidate his power in order to maintain his control.
So he began to secretly plot, using his prestige in the army to force civil and military officials to depose Liu Bian and install Liu Xie as emperor.
However, Liu Bian and Liu Xie were both only three years old at this time.
However, Dong Zhuo encountered resistance from the very beginning, with various ministers opposing him emerging one after another, which greatly angered him.
"Hmph! Those ungrateful bastards! Once Liu Xie ascends the throne, the first thing I'll do is slaughter all these heartless officials!"
Dong Zhuo sat on the throne, his face ruthless, his eyes narrowed, exuding a sinister aura.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister! News has arrived from the palace!" Just as Dong Zhuo was furious, his subordinate rushed in.
"What is it?" Dong Zhuo asked, frowning.
"Empress Dowager He wishes to see you!"
Dong Zhuo was taken aback. What did this woman want to see him for?
Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment, then got up and hurried towards the palace.
"Greetings, Empress Dowager!"
Empress Dowager He sat dignifiedly on her throne, dressed in a phoenix robe. She was as beautiful and elegant as ever.
"No need for formalities!"
Empress Dowager He extended her slender, fair fingers and gently lifted them, saying with a smile, "Prime Minister, please sit down."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Dong Zhuo bowed.
Empress Dowager He said with a smile, "Prime Minister, I have heard that someone is planning to depose the Emperor. Is the Prime Minister aware of this?"
Dong Zhuo was startled, realizing that this matter had indeed caught the attention of Empress Dowager He.
"Your Majesty, I am also unaware of what has happened, but I will do my utmost to investigate!" Dong Zhuo said respectfully.
"Yes! I also hope that the Prime Minister will find this treacherous minister as soon as possible!"
After saying this, Empress Dowager He slowly stood up and walked towards Dong Zhuo. Her soft and slender waist swayed, like a flower swaying in the wind and rain, making her look lovely.
"Prime Minister, I have heard that you command an army of 200,000 fierce warriors?" Empress Dowager He walked up to Dong Zhuo and suddenly spoke.
Dong Zhuo's eyelids twitched a few times, and he was a little puzzled. Why did Empress Dowager He bring this up?
"Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you. This is indeed true!" Dong Zhuo replied, bowing respectfully.
Empress Dowager He smiled and said, "Prime Minister, there is no need to worry. I have no other intentions. It's just that there are some things I don't know how to tell you."
"Your Majesty, I am all ears!" Dong Zhuo said, bowing his head, while inwardly wondering what Empress Dowager He was planning to do next.
"The soldiers under the Prime Minister's command are all loyal and righteous men, but His Majesty's safety is of paramount importance," Empress Dowager He sighed.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, your humble servant will ensure His Majesty's safety and protect Your Majesty's well-being!" Dong Zhuo solemnly promised.
Empress Dowager He shook her head and said, "Prime Minister, I am afraid, so I have a request that I cannot keep. I wonder if the Prime Minister would be willing to grant it?"
Dong Zhuo frowned. Empress Dowager He was testing him!
"Your Majesty, please speak freely. As long as it is within my power, I will do my utmost to accomplish it!"
