"Shaobao also knows that we are just doctors. Even if we are the best doctors in the country, we are not gods." Dr. Dong immediately retorted.
Zhang Xiaowu was so choked that he couldn't say anything to refute. He took a few deep breaths and gave Dr. Dong a hard look. But even if he killed Dr. Dong, the emperor still couldn't wake up for the time being. He could only ask: "What about Your Majesty's doctor?"
When will the soul-leaving syndrome be cured? Is there any record in ancient books?"
Dr. Dong said: "It is said in ancient books that during the ten years when the young master suffered from dementia, he could eat, drink, urinate, and have the same symptoms as His Majesty. One day after ten years, the young master from Jinan Prefecture suddenly regained consciousness.
He came over and reported to the officials that his wife had been killed. Then the officials arrested the gangsters and beheaded them in public.
After the young master watched all the criminals being killed in the execution ground, he laughed three times, and then fell to the ground and died. As for how he woke up, there is no record in the book. It seems that he woke up suddenly. So.
The only thing we can do now is to ensure His Majesty's health and wait for him to slowly wake up in the future."
Everyone was silent for a long time, except for the sound of Concubine Tang sobbing and crying. No one dared to speak. Finally, Zhang Xiaowu said: "Master Lu, call Uncle Kaicheng to come and learn from me. He is the new left prime minister, and we must negotiate with him on this matter.
"
"Okay." Lu Baiting turned around and ordered people to immediately tell Bian Xue to enter the palace.
Zhang Xiaowu added: "Your Majesty's body will be like this sooner or later. Sooner or later, everyone will know. I am worried that in the future, some people will accuse us of manipulating Your Majesty to control the court. Therefore, I suggest that we recruit as many people as possible to establish an organization to assist Your Majesty in governing the country. This
I suggest that the organization be called the Central Government Office, with one central commandant and six central governors, for a total of seven people. During the period when Your Majesty has not yet awakened, the Central Government Office will make decisions on Your Majesty's behalf."
Everyone's hearts beat violently. Isn't this central government an institution that is subordinate to one person but superior to ten thousand people? If His Majesty cannot wake up in the future, then the function of the central government is actually to act with great power on behalf of the emperor.
Zhang Xiaowu showed no pretense of humility and said: "I am responsible for the central command of the central government. The other six people are Bian Wen, the prime minister on the left, Xiang Rui, the prime minister on the right, Lv Baiting, the imperial envoy, Ye Xiangdong, the generalissimo, Shi Yong, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Shi Yong, the minister of the household department.
Minister Shi Chong. What do you think?"
Except for Concubine Tang, who was Lu Baiting, the others present were Wu Song, Ruan Qingwen, Guan Xiang and others, so naturally they would not object.
And Lu Baiting was filled with surprises for a long time. He couldn't help but tremble all over. He was actually selected into the Central Government Office, which meant that he would be in charge of national affairs in the future? This kind of surprise made him unable to control himself. He looked at Zhang Xiaowu excitedly, but as
As a civil servant, he needs to show humility and prudence. He bowed hurriedly and said: "If I don't have talent, how can I be so responsible?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I said you can take the responsibility, and you can take it. There is no one in the world who is more suitable than you. Du Shanbo is seriously ill in Jiangnan, Shi Chong has just been appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and is still unable to convince the public, Xiang Rui because of his implementation
The reform of the tax law was opposed by the gentry, and
Bian Wen's imperial decree appointing the left prime minister has not yet been promulgated, and it cannot convince the public. Shi Yong has long been proven to be mediocre and incompetent, so the central government will need you to be busy in the future. If you give up your job, we will
The empire should stop doing this."
Lu Boting said excitedly: "If this is the case, then the official will never give up."
Zhang Xiaowu asked Lu Baiting to immediately invite Bian Wen, Xiang Rui, Shi Yong, Shi Chong and others to the palace to discuss state affairs, and personally awarded the imperial edict of appointment to these four people.
"Are they informed of the existence of the central government?" Lu Baiting asked.
"No, I will tell you personally." Zhang Xiaowu said.
Lu Baiting immediately wrote the imperial edict, and Tang Guifei took out the emperor's jade seal and stamped it with a large seal. Before the ink was dry, Lu Baiting left the palace with the four imperial edicts.
Zhang Xiaowu was silent for a while and said, "I want to talk to Your Majesty alone, Your Majesty, is that okay?"
Everyone was puzzled. The emperor was in a coma. How could you still talk to him alone? Concubine Tang knew that they had a deep relationship, so she nodded and asked everyone to retreat. When everyone else was gone and everything was quiet, Zhang Xiaowu said:
He sighed deeply and looked at the emaciated Emperor De, feeling extremely sad in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I am not an ambitious person, nor do I have the power to monopolize power. The current situation forces me to be a powerful minister who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people." Zhang Xiaowu seemed to be explaining to Emperor Dade, but
It was more like he was talking to himself, "Since ancient times, the prime ministers who have been in charge of the world have all had a good end without exception. They were either hacked to death by their subordinates or deposed and killed by the emperor. And the only ones who can end well are
Those traitors who usurp power and establish the country.
In establishing the Central Government Office, I actually want to decentralize power, because I know too well that this power is terrible. Once someone is contaminated, it will never be able to give up. Your Majesty, the existence of the Central Government Office reminds me that I cannot be a traitor to the country. I cannot
Usurping power and seizing the throne. Your Majesty, you are my friend and my comrade-in-arms. Don’t worry, I will definitely train Chenghua well and make him a famous king throughout the ages and an emperor of all nations."
Zhang Xiaowu bowed his head to the ground, slowly started to fight, turned and left.
The Emperor's eyes blinked following his back, and soon returned to their original state, as if they had never moved.
Soon, the rest of the people who were appointed by Zhang Xiaowu as the governor of the Central Government also came one after another, including Bian Wen, Xiang Rui, Shi Yong, and Shi Chong. They followed Zhang Xiaowu to the Taiyuan Hospital and saw the emperor with their own eyes. Although Emperor Dade regained consciousness,
, the whole person was dull, not looking like a normal person in any way, more like a fool. Everyone was immediately moved to tears by the illness of Emperor Dade, especially Shi Chong who cried so much that he couldn't stand up.
"Can your Majesty still wake up?" Shi Chong choked with sobs.
Shi Yong said anxiously: "Isn't Your Majesty always very good?"
Dr. Dong said: "Your Majesty was almost killed by Li Canglan, so how can you do anything good? He is lucky enough to survive."
Zhang Xiaowu asked: "Mr. Dong, is there nothing you can do? There are so many famous doctors in the world, what if there is one who can help His Majesty recover as soon as possible?"
Dr. Dong said: "Ordinary doctors cannot cure your majesty, but -"
"But what?"
"But some weird doctors can do it, but if these people's prescriptions cannot cure Your Majesty, who will bear the consequences?" Dr. Dong said, "Our doctors have never encountered Your Majesty's symptoms, so naturally we cannot cure them.
You should rarely encounter other doctors. If they treat Your Majesty, they will definitely give you various medicines. There is a saying that medicine is three parts poison. Any medicine used by a doctor has two sides. If it poisons Your Majesty——"
Zhang Xiaowu suddenly said: "You mean, Tai Hospital can treat it, but it's not even 50% sure."
Doctor Dong smiled bitterly: "Don't say 50%, not even 50% sure. Anyone who treats the emperor's illness can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."
