After Zhao Yanxun expressed his willingness to be king to the emperor, it became a foregone conclusion that he would be crowned king and vassal.
But new disputes ensued. The emperor wanted to make him King of Qin, but all the ministers opposed him.
Because this King of Qin was the title given to Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty when he was living in his residence a hundred years ago, and no one could hold this title after that.
The courtiers finally drove Zhao Yanxun out of the capital, but how could they allow him to obtain the title of King of Qin?
Therefore, when the emperor came up with the idea of conferring Zhao Yanxun the title of King of Qin, memorials of remonstrances flew into the palace like snowflakes.
Zhao Yanxun didn't care about this. At this moment, he was in the Tai Hospital and wanted to choose some capable doctors.
In the era of the end of the world, doctors who can cure diseases are definitely the most in-demand talents.
According to his treatment as a prince, ten people will be selected from the Imperial Hospital.
Walking into the Taiyuan Hospital, Zhao Yanxun took off his black gauze hat and said in a deep voice: "Hu Yuanjian, in your Taiyuan Hospital... is there a doctor who specializes in epidemic diseases?"
Hu Shan, who was accompanying him, twitched his lips and said tactfully: "Your Highness, the Taiyuan Hospital treats diseases in the palace, so..."
He didn't finish what he said, but Zhao Yanxun understood the meaning clearly.
"Hu Yuanjian is highly respected in Xinglin, and he must know a lot of people. Since there is no one inside the Taiyuan Hospital, what about outside the Taiyuan Hospital?" Zhao Yanxun still did not give up.
"Now that the world is peaceful, why does Your Highness want to find doctors who study epidemic diseases?" Hu Shan was extremely puzzled and pinched a strand of his beard with his hand.
Zhao Yanxun's expression was serious: "Looking at the history books, every time there is a great epidemic, there will be countless casualties, and the people and the court will be in trouble... It can be said to be miserable!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxun said solemnly: "So... I have made a great wish to find famous doctors in epidemic prevention in the world to overcome the raging epidemic!"
Hu Shan examined Zhao Yanxun for a long time. He had been in the palace for so many years, so his mind was naturally not that simple.
He knew that Zhao Yanxun's words were not very credible, but he had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.
"It is a blessing for the people that Your Highness has such a heart!" A smile appeared on Hu Shan's face.
Now he just wants to send Zhao Yanxun away, so several names have come to mind.
"Your Highness, I have a few old friends, I think I can satisfy Your Highness!"
Hu Shan has a wide network of contacts in Xinglin, and it is not unusual to know a few weirdos who study epidemic diseases.
Immediately, Hu Shan asked someone to bring a pen and paper, wrote down the information of several people he knew, and handed it to Zhao Yanxun.
After being sent outside the Taiyuan Hospital by Hu Shan, Zhao Yanxun turned around and thanked him: "Hu Yuanjian, thank you very much!"
"Your Highness, you're welcome!"
The two of them parted immediately, and Zhao Yanxun returned to the palace.
Although he was walking, the chariot sedan given by the emperor was still carried by several young eunuchs and followed him all the way.
Taking out the list given by Hu Shan, Zhao Yanxun carefully browsed it and handed it to Lin Quan beside him.
"According to the addresses on the list, send someone to invite these doctors. The courtesy should be generous!"
"Your Highness, after you come here, will you still arrange it in Yongning Lane?"
After nodding, Zhao Yanxun continued: "Retell to them what I just said to Hu Shan, and tell them that the Gu Association will support their research and will give them the position of imperial physician!"
Money and food support, status inducement, and shared ideals... With these three points, Zhao Yanxun was very confident in recruiting these people.
"As ordered, I will do it now!" Lin Quan saluted, turned around and left.
Looking at Huo An who was waiting on the side, Zhao Yanxun hooked his hand, and Huo An came closer.
"Have you done all the things I asked you to buy?"
Originally, he could ask Lin Quan about this matter, but Zhao Yanxun felt that Huo An was more calm, so he asked him now.
Huo An answered honestly, he didn't hide anything he had bought and what was missing.
Overall, Huo An and the others did a good job during these ten days.
Just when Zhao Yanxun was about to return to his palace, he saw the eunuch from Xianfu Palace.
"Your Highness, I would like to invite you over to have dinner together!"
After glancing around, the young eunuch lowered his voice and said, "His Majesty will be here in the evening too!"
Every time he went to see Concubine Duan, Zhao Yanxun was under great pressure. He actually resisted in his heart. He just wanted to be crowned king and leave the capital as soon as possible.
But regardless of his will or not, since Concubine Duan wanted to see him, he had to go immediately.
"good!"
…………
Two moments later, Zhao Yanxun arrived at Xianfu Palace.
There was still some time before lunch, so the mother and son rarely sat in the main hall drinking tea.
Zhao Yanxun did not wear a black gauze hat, but tied her hair in a bun with a net scarf, which made her look more energetic.
"The title has been issued!" Concubine Duan put down her teacup with a mixed expression.
Zhao Yanxun was stunned for a moment. He had been quarreling with each other about his royal title recently, and it was agreed that it would be a good thing for him.
"What is it?" Zhao Yanxun asked.
"The fiefdom remains unchanged, but from the King of Qin to the King of Yong, it can be regarded as a step back!"
Compared with King Qin, King Yong is naturally a little less interesting, but he is still pretty good.
King Yong? These ministers are really interesting. Do they want me to be mediocre in the future? Zhao Yanxun sneered in his heart.
He may not care about the king's title, but he cannot ignore the hostility of the courtiers. Whether he wants it or not, these people will always regard him as a thorn in their side.
At this moment, he had to face up to a problem. After he went to the fiefdom and became a vassal, these people would probably continue to disgust him.
"Not bad, Yong was the capital of the ancient Qin State, but it has a longer history than Qin!" Zhao Yanxun said with a smile.
I said this to lighten the atmosphere. After all, Concubine Duan was the original mother, and Zhao Yanxun couldn't make her too sad.
Zhao Yanxun wanted to continue to say something happy, but Concubine Duan broke the news: "You have also begun to pick up the concubine. The Zongzheng Mansion has already handed over the roster after the primary election!"
Zhao Yanxun was immediately stunned.
Choosing a concubine? He had forgotten about this matter.
This matter started two months ago. The original person did not take it to heart, so Zhao Yanxun did not pay much attention to it.
Now that the end of the world is approaching, Zhao Yanxun has no intention of thinking about women, and it is even more difficult for him to accept a stranger as his wife.
"Before joining the vassal domain, you must first settle your marriage, so that I, the mother, can..."
Before Concubine Duan finished speaking, Zhao Yanxun said tentatively: "Concubine, mother...can we postpone this matter for two years? My son is not in a hurry to get married!"
Unexpectedly, Concubine Duan immediately changed her color and scolded: "You bastard, what are you talking about?"
"How can a marriage be a trivial matter?"
In this era, parents' orders are emphasized. Children have no say in marriage, even the prince is no exception.
Previously, the plan was disrupted by her son's words, and now Zhao Yanxun wanted to violate his parents' orders, so Concubine Duan was very angry at this moment.
"Yes, yes, yes... my son is wrong, please calm down, concubine!" Zhao Yanxun said repeatedly, and imitating the look in his memory, he came to Concubine Duan and gave her a shoulder.
In fact, there were too many things that made Concubine Duan angry during this period, so the anger she sent out was really difficult to calm down.
"My mother, my concubine... and my son are all going to join the vassal, so you have to take good care of the selection of your concubine!" Zhao Yanxun said tentatively.
Concubine Duan suddenly said angrily: "What do you want?"
"If nothing else, at least you must be as beautiful as your mother and concubine..."
Zhao Yanxun said the last two words while facing Concubine Duan's gaze, so he felt very unsure.
For Zhao Yanxun, he can accept a strange wife, after all, relationships can be cultivated.
But if he looks too ugly, then he really doesn’t know how to cultivate relationships.
"You bastard, what a beautiful idea!" Concubine Duan didn't hold back her stern face and actually laughed out loud.
