Zhu Biao pulled the cool handkerchief down from his forehead and covered his eyes. The coolness penetrated along the eyeballs and into the brain, and he sighed slightly in relief.
Seeing that His Highness stopped talking, Liu An himself did not dare to make any decisions, so he could only wipe his tears and retreat, waiting for the arrival of the doctor. Zhu Biao himself was in a state of half sleep and half awake.
After a while, several people from the Imperial Guard came into the house surrounded by an old man with white hair and beard. A screen was used to block the outside light in the house, so it seemed a little dark. The old man asked Liu An a few questions about Zhu Biao.
The eating and living conditions that came in, as well as the situation just now.
After everything was understood, the old man Zhongfang sat down next to the bed. Liu An opened the thin brocade quilt and carefully pulled out Zhu Biao's hand. After the old man sat down, he narrowed his eyes and felt for his pulse with one hand and stroked his beard with the other.
Everyone was silent.
"Deficiency pulse mainly refers to deficiency syndrome, which is mostly due to deficiency of qi and blood or deficiency of organs. Your master's foundation is good, but he must have been excessively worried recently, coupled with the acclimatization and hard work, so he has some symptoms. I will prescribe two prescriptions to soothe the mind and replenish qi.
Son, just eat more supplements from now on and you’ll be fine.”
Hearing this, Liu An bowed and said: "Excuse me, old man, please take a closer look. I am here to accompany you on errands as ordered by you. I really don't dare to be careless in any way. I will definitely pay you a generous medical fee in a while."
The old doctor didn't take it seriously either. He had been practicing medicine in Pingliang Mansion for many years and had treated many high-ranking people. He also had the same reaction. He was afraid that his diagnosis would be too quick and not be believed.
The old doctor did it again, and the people in the house felt much more at ease. Liu An personally sent him out, and sent two military guards to accompany him back to get medicine.
Liu An was not in a hurry to go back to the house to wait. After a while, several military guards led another doctor over. The same process was repeated. The diagnosis of the two was the same, and Liu An felt relieved.
To be honest, if he wasn't worried about disturbing His Highness by asking for pulse frequently, Liu An would have wanted to call four or five more doctors for diagnosis to make sure nothing went wrong.
After Zhu Biao drank the decoction in the afternoon, there was no obvious improvement. He was still groggy. However, he felt better after getting up in the evening and having a meal.
After reluctantly listening to the report by Chen Rongyan and others, he went back to bed and lay down. In a daze, he suddenly remembered that Zhu Biao in history fell ill when he was ordered to inspect Shaanxi, and then died...
Suddenly I broke out in a cold sweat. Even though I knew it was just a coincidence and my current illness was not serious, I still resisted in my heart and wanted to leave for Beijing as soon as possible.
He couldn't afford to die, not only for his country but also for his family. He made up his mind to resolve the matter as soon as possible and then return to Beijing. He would never set foot in the land of Shaanxi and Gansu again in his lifetime!
I spent the night in fear and irritation, and I don't know when I fell asleep. When I got up the next day, although I was still a little drowsy and tired, my consciousness was clear. I drank the decoction after breakfast and immediately called Chen Rongyan and others.
"What did you talk about last night?"
Chen Rongyan replied: "You are not here, and they also know that it is difficult to persuade me. The main thing is to eat and drink. Only Zhao Guangsheng secretly gave me a few words, hoping that I would be smarter and not hinder the young master's future."
Zhu Biao looked at Chen Bingxian: "Has all the food been handed over?"
"When I got back to the prince, they had transported all the food, but the money hadn't been given yet. I felt like there was something wrong with it, but they didn't dare to default on the debt. They were all respectable people. Not to mention that they knew it belonged to His Highness the Crown Prince.
It's just that they shouldn't dare to rely on the Chen family's food if they have a general official."
Zhu Biao held a piece of candied fruit in his mouth and said: "Courtesy first, then attack. It seems that they were quite dissatisfied that I didn't attend last night's dinner. They felt that not only did I not show respect, but I pretended to be sick. Just wait, I'll probably come soon."
I was notified that the batch of grain was seized by Wang Shijian."
Lure them with benefits, move them with emotion, convince them with reason, and threaten them with threats. This is the necessary process and means to lure people into the water. They already took out the first three yesterday, and now is the last step, through threatening interests.
Let him submit.
I just don't know if they just want to use Chen Yunze's power to suppress Wang Shijian, or if they have a bigger plot. After all, Wang Shijian is not a naked imperial envoy.
While the three of them were discussing, someone came from outside and announced: "The young master, the general magistrate of Pingliang and several gentry have come to pay their respects. Do you want to come in?"
"Let's lead him into the main hall."
The three of them looked at each other and then got up and walked out the door. A general judge also had to greet him. After all, the three of them did not have official positions and they could not wait for a local important official and a court official.
When they walked to the front yard, two groups of people happened to meet each other. After bowing to each other, Li Tongpan looked at Zhu Biao's pale face and said with concern: "How is Mr. Chen's health? It's true that I didn't entertain you well. I really shouldn't let Mr. Chen drink so much.
Drink more."
Zhu Biao turned sideways and guided: "It's nothing serious. Just drink the decoction for a few days. Come on, everyone, please come in and drink tea."
A group of people entered the main hall. Zhu Biao and Li Tongpan exchanged polite greetings for a few times before sitting down at the main seat. After finishing their remarks over a cup of tea, Li Tongpan said: "I just received the news that Mr. Chen Yun
The food that came was seized by Wang Qin's envoy, and Zhao Tongpan went to ask for it but was kicked out. He had no face to see the young master, so he could only ask me to inform him."
Zhu Biao's face turned dark when he heard this, and his tone was no longer polite: "So what do you mean, do you mean that this batch of grain is like meat buns beating dogs, and it will never come back?"
"After all, the imperial court has explicitly banned the private sale of grain in the disaster area. So Wang Shijian can't get oil and salt, so..."
boom!
Zhu Biao slammed the table and said in a deep voice: "Do you really think that I am a nerd and a fool? I don't care who the imperial envoys are or what your plans are. The food is lost in your hands and should be given to you."
You can’t lose even one tael of silver, otherwise… hmph!”
Li Tongpan stood up and said, "Master Chen has misunderstood. No matter what the food is, the money will be delivered to the master within three days. It's just that without food, it will be a little difficult to collect the orphans. The noble man's errand has been delayed, which is good for everyone."
None of them are good, what do you think, Master?"
Zhu Biao's face improved after hearing this, but he still sneered: "The nobler's errands must be done as beautifully as possible, but Qingyang has already gathered many orphans, and I will be able to explain to the nobleman when I return to the capital. You still don't want to
Think of me as a fool, Wang Shijian is Jian's imperial envoy in the emperor's heart, even if I am not afraid of him, I will not cause trouble for the nobleman."
Li Tongpan and others' expressions darkened when they heard this. They didn't expect that Chen Yunze would be so transparent. It seemed impossible to get him on board by provoking him. That's right. After all, he was from a wealthy family, not to mention that he could still win.
The prince entrusts you with important responsibilities, which is not that simple.
