"Wu Guang throws himself into the abyss, and does not receive the dust and dirt of the world." [Mourning for the Time of Mourning]
A discussion in the Chengming Hall quickly came to an end. When Zhi Xi and Hua Tuo made their own plans and returned to the Yamen Office, in less than seven days, they quickly co-wrote a book on the cold syndrome caused by the late spring cold. A case study.
Dong Cheng was the one who took over the whole job at the beginning and only obtained the power of the chief executive in this matter through his strong recommendation. He tried to show his ability to govern the people, but he turned out to be a hot potato. Fortunately, with Hua Tuo's opportunism, things can still be fooled. In the past, however, he was somewhat cautious. When he got the information, he did not immediately submit it to the emperor to express his merits. Instead, he first found someone to check how much water and dry content was in it.
The person who can examine the pathology of pulse cases is either a master of medicine, or he has a profound family background, is talented and has dabbled in something.
The people under Dong Cheng's command, such as Shangshu Ling Wu Shuo, Jingzhao Yin Hu Miao, and Chang Shi Dong Feng, all have their own strengths in terms of talent, intelligence and scheming, but when it comes to family background and talent and learning, they are all about the same. But Dong Cheng is not the same. Wu Shuo, who was good at being a good person, was the one who wanted to seek another doctor to dissuade him, so as not to spread it to the ears of Zhi Xi, Hua Tuo and others, and offend a group of imperial doctors for no reason.
In the end, it was Chang Shi Dong Feng who was good at communication and quick-thinking, so he quickly found a man from a noble family. The man was young and mature, and was famous for his talent and learning at a very young age. He was also good at ancient Chinese prose and bird seal calligraphy. Li Cao, wind sign, has broad interests and is good at everything.
"Bo Xi." When dealing with such a rich family member, even if his power is not as powerful as before, Dong Cheng also lost his arrogance and became a little more polite: "I heard that you have given all your wealth to the villagers in Hedong these years, and you have devoted yourself to it. Reading, I wonder if I can achieve anything now?"
The middle-aged man with windswept temples standing in front of Dong Cheng was none other than Wei Jing, the former Huangmen servant and a member of the Wei family in Hedong.
"Nowadays, the world is determined by chaos. The country will soon return to the rule of the imperial court. It is the time for a man to make great achievements. He is so old and has no position. He is really ashamed of his ancestors." Wei Ji stood tall and showed his full strength. The descendant of the aristocratic family has a calm and dignified demeanor, as if the tragic purge and life-and-death crisis in Hedong three or four years ago had not affected his mind at all.
"The ancients had sayings like 'Da Ze is good for the world', and there are also sayings like 'Good birds choose trees to roost in'. Bo Xi was famous for his talents. He should join Dong Gong to revive the Han Dynasty and rule the world for a long time. If he only lives in a thatched cottage , If you only have a clear name, what good will it do to all the people in the world?" Dong Feng flattered the two of them with a smile, and quickly pulled the reserved Wei Jian forward a few steps.
At the beginning, the emperor used Wei Gu and Fan Xian in Hedong to conspire and rebel, and implicated many powerful people involved in them. He almost wiped out all the powerful people in Hedong, leaving only a few families close to the emperor, such as the Pei family, the Guanqiu family, and the Zhu family. Because of his kinship with the traitorous general Wei Gu, he should have been implicated and prosecuted, but because Wei Ji stepped back from the brink and revealed the news to the emperor, many ministers who had an interest in him, such as Ma Rixi and Cai Yong, interceded for him. Only then did the emperor depose him as a commoner.
Although the Hedong Wei family escaped from the purge and cleared their suspicions, they also paid a heavy price. Not only did Wei Ji choose to remain anonymous and voluntarily dissipated his family wealth, but he also donated all the classics collected by the Wei family as atonement. It was given to the emperor at that time who issued an edict to "please present" ancient books.
After their vitality was severely damaged, the Wei clan's reputation in Hedong plummeted, and there was no one in the clan who could hold up their facade. Fortunately, Pei was still thinking of his old friendship and took care of him, and Wei Jian relied on his photographic memory to take care of him.
It took three or four years for most of the precious classics to be published silently, and only then did the Wei family have a chance to make a comeback.
Just having the scriptures alone is not enough. In this era, although the ‘knowledge’ contained in the scriptures allows people to transcend social classes more easily than accumulating wealth, it often takes more than ten years and the accumulation and cultivation of several generations.
Wei Ji was an ambitious and far-sighted person, and he had the heavy responsibility of reviving the clan on his shoulders. Naturally, he was unwilling to choose this path that was slow to yield results and took a long time. Therefore, he silently wrote almost all the family heirlooms in his memory.
After that, he just chose to walk out of the house, giving up his previous self-restraint and the restraint of waiting for the government-recruited bus to come to the door, and actively chose to rely on the family.
He thought that with his ability and intelligence, coupled with the reputation of the Wei clan in Hedong, no one would reject him. Who knows, the stars have changed, things have changed, and first the leaders of the Kansai scholars
Rixi and Shi Sunrui were deposed successively; then Hongnong Yang kept a low profile. Although many people in the family held important positions, except for Yang Qi, who was also a gentleman, the rest were cautious and refused to stand out; as for Huang Wan, Zhao
Wen and others are not from the Kansai clan and have little friendship with him. He himself is a person with a history of stains. How can they take a second look at him.
Even the scholar Cai Yong, the former wife of his deceased brother, had alienated himself at this time. After all, they had done their best to help him once, and it would be unjustifiable to help him again.
Wei Jian understood that when he was in prison, Ma Rixi, Cai Yong, Pei Shi, and even Dong Cheng were eager to rescue him, not for the reputation of Wei Shi in Hedong, nor to look down upon him, but simply because they were worried about the emperor.
They will take the opportunity to have an attack and implicate them. Now that there is no such concern, the forces of the DPRK and China are ebbing and flowing, and their attitudes will naturally become cold.
Therefore, Wei Jin thought about it before finally agreeing to Dong Feng's invitation, planning to follow the path of Dong Cheng, a relative of the imperial court and Taiwei.
"I remember that when Hedong was restored, I once recruited Bo Xiang and Guanqiu Zixing." Dong Cheng casually placed Guanqiu Xing and Wei Xiang, whose family background was not obvious, together, which naturally caused Wei Xiang to frown, but at this time Wei Xiang
He was well-educated and did not make any unnecessary moves. He just let Dong Cheng say: "It is a pity that the country recognized talents and was one step ahead of others. It recruited you as the Huangmen Minister first, so that you missed the shogunate. It is really a pity."
In fact, Wei Jian had been interested in Dong Cheng's solicitation at the time, but at that time he was far-sighted and refused to cling to his relatives. He only visited the house for a few talks to give him enough face. Little did he know that Dong Cheng seemed to have always been worried about this.
It's a pity, but this made Wei Jian moved.
"Dong Gong appreciates it, and I admire it with my heart." After Wei Jian exchanged a few polite words with the other party, Dong Feng brought the matter to the point in time and took out the pulse case submitted by the imperial physician Ling Zhixi and the imperial hospital Zhenghua Tuo.
Wei Zhi was familiar with medical science, which was why Dong Feng invited him here. After reading through it from beginning to end, his eyes showed a lot of brilliance, and he nodded and said: "Although this pulse case is a little immature in terms of decoctions, medicines, medical science, etc.
There are some shortcomings, but it seems that some doctors have corrected them, so it doesn't matter...especially the epidemic prevention methods mentioned in nearly half of the chapters, such as isolation, deep burial, etc., there is much room for improvement. Judging from the above, it seems that they have already been started.
Implement it and get results?"
Dong Cheng and Dong Feng looked at each other and were both satisfied. The method of epidemic prevention was proposed by the emperor, so naturally they had to write a special book to cater to the emperor's heart. With Wei Xi's pertinent evaluation, coupled with the cooperation between the Imperial Medical Office and the Imperial Palace
The hospital has worked so hard in various places in Sanfu for treatment these days, and this case is enough to report to the emperor.
Then a huge stone fell in his heart, and Dong Feng began to mention another matter for Dong Cheng: "I don't know, Mr. Wei, but after the changes in the powers of the Taiwei, there is now a shortage of a Tuncao in Duke Dong's mansion. I wonder if you have such intention?"
"Although his position is small, he is in charge of the military affairs of the world, and his position is important. Now is the time for the imperial court to deploy troops, so I hope that Lord Wei will not ignore it." Dong Cheng put away his polite smile and sat upright on it. It was really true.
