After a while, Liang Jiugong came back from the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with worry on his face.
"Your Majesty, Master Jiu didn't go to the Yamen today. I heard he was ill. When I went over, I happened to meet that boy He Yuzhu who went to talk to Mr. Zhang..."
"What's wrong with Brother Nine?"
Kangxi frowned.
You were fine yesterday evening, why did you become sick?
Liang Jiugong bowed and said: "My servant asked He Yuzhu and said that he caught a cold yesterday and didn't sleep well, so he made me some soothing soup in the morning!" "There is no imperial doctor in the Second Institute?"
Kangxi then asked.
Mr. Dong E is a careful person and takes good care of her husband. She should be able to take good care of him.
"I haven't heard that the imperial doctor said that in addition to the calming soup, he also made ginger soup!"
Liang Jiugong thought for a while and replied.
Kangxi's face turned disgusting.
Where is the cold?
This is obviously scary!
If he was really going to get sick, Dong E would have sent for a doctor early.
"Good-for-nothing!"
Kangxi complained: "He was so scared that he couldn't sleep even before this happened to him!"
Liang Jiugong listened to the whole story yesterday and knew the reason. He said: "Jiu Ye is a pure and kind man. He has never seen the dirty things outside."
Kangxi, however, had no intention of indulging his son and said: "You still don't care about anything. Compared with his brothers, he is far behind... Go to the second house and sneak that bastard away..."
If you don’t take responsibility, then take more responsibility.
If you are timid, then take a look.
What should I do if I am always naive and ignorant of worldly affairs?
Liang Jiugong responded and went to the second office.
*
Two upper rooms.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu each drank a bowl of soothing soup, lay down again, and prepared to sleep.
The whole courtyard fell silent.
Everyone knew that the masters were sleeping and were afraid of being disturbed by any noise.
Not only the backyard, but the front yard also received orders.
Liang Jiugong was blocked by the eunuch and concierge.
"Wait a minute, I'll pass the message..."
Cui Baisui stopped people and did not lead them in directly.
Liang Jiugong saw that he was dumb and said: "The emperor wants to pass on Master Jiu!"
Cui Baisui still didn't give way: "Then you wait, I will pass on the message."
When Liang Jiugong saw him, he didn't argue with him. He nodded and said, "Go ahead. The emperor has summoned you. I'll be waiting soon."
Cui Baisui turned around and ran away.
The door to the main room made a sound again.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu just drank the tranquilizing medicine and were so lost in the lake that they had not yet fallen asleep.
The ninth elder brother all muttered: "What bastard dares to come and knock on the door when I told you to catch up on your sleep!"
He didn't want to remember.
Shu Shu pushed forward and said: "Could it be that the Yamen has official business to see me? The Holy Master will be leaving in three days!"
Brother Jiu got up reluctantly, gritted his teeth and said, "He Yuzhu, this bastard, if he doesn't do anything serious, I'll skin him!"
When he opened the door and saw Cui Baisui, he knew that it was the emperor summoning him. Brother Jiu was a little numb.
He immediately returned to the house, feeling uneasy, and asked Shu Shu, "Where is Khan Amazhao? What should I do?"
Shu Shu couldn't guess the reason. Seeing Brother Jiu's eyes turning green and looking haggard, he said: "If the emperor asked me why I didn't get a good rest last night, he would just say that I was scared, didn't sleep well, and was a little upset.
"
Brother Jiu was surprised, with a look of confusion on his face: "Okay, why are you so scared?"
Shu Shu whispered: "I have heard of harmful things, but I have never heard of such harmful things. I have diaphragm when eating, and even vomited after eating..."
In fact, Jiu Age ate lotus leaf pancakes with salted egg yolk last night. He ate several pieces and some of them were so heavy that he felt sick to his stomach and vomited.
Brother Jiu pursed his lips: "Then I'm too cowardly?"
Shu Shu pointed at the dressing table and said, "Who can I hide from you? When the time comes that the emperor will be the imperial physician, what else will you not understand?"
I can't confidently say that I studied too hard and became more and more excited and stayed up all night.
Brother Ninth had a guilty conscience because of this.
I worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for only half a year, and I just took this one leave, only to be caught by the emperor's father. Where can I explain this?
Now after listening to Shu Shu's words, he felt confident.
That is, he was frightened and could not eat or sleep well. It was not his fault that he harassed Fujin.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, he doesn't need the end mask anymore, so he puts on a small fur vest.
Brother Jiu was not as high-spirited as when he went to Qianqing Palace on weekdays, but was drooping.
Liang Jiugong was waiting in front. Seeing his appearance, he said, "Oh, Lord Jiu, this is..."
Brother Jiu rubbed his face and said feebly: "It's okay, I just haven't slept well and am a little tired... Since the Khan has called, let's go there..."
Liang Jiugong didn't hesitate, and the two of them left his brother's house.
Brother Jiu's eyelids became heavy as the medicinal strength of the calming soup he drank earlier became stronger.
The body also became heavy.
Brother Jiu held on.
When he reached the entrance of Qianqing Palace, he couldn't lift his feet, and he felt a little lost looking at the steps.
They all look flat.
Liang Jiugong saw that he was acting strange, so he quickly helped his arm and said: "Master Jiu, be careful, I will help you..."
Just as the fourth elder brother came out of Qianqing Palace, he took a quick look.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
The fourth elder brother saw that the ninth elder brother was looking haggard and lost in the lake, so he asked Liang Jiu Gong.
Liang Jiugong thought about it and said, "I heard that I caught a cold last night and felt a little uncomfortable..."
Fourth brother wants to ask again.
Brother Jiu had already woken up and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, my brother is fine. It's just that he didn't rest well last night and was a little sleepy..."
Hearing that his voice was hoarse and his eyes were blue, Fourth Brother frowned, feeling very worried.
"You are busy. I will help Master Jiu in first. Your Majesty will be waiting soon..."
Liang Jiugong bowed and said.
Fourth Brother nodded and watched the two of them go in.
Was there something wrong with the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Otherwise, why would Brother Jiu be forced to go to the imperial court?
Since you feel uncomfortable, shouldn't you be kept in your brother's home?
The aftermath of the Hesheli family and the Tong family has gradually subsided, and is there any big news again?
The fourth elder brother was a little confused, and he was not worried about the ninth elder brother, so he did not leave, but stood at the foot of the steps.
In the Xinuan Pavilion, Kangxi was sitting cross-legged on the Kang, and spread out on it was the new Southern Tour accounting expenses sent by Si Age.
During the first and second southern tours, the number of followers did not exceed 300, and the expenses were also small.
This southern tour was very expensive because the Queen Mother had to travel with her and the palace concubines were accompanying her.
At the earliest, the number of people reached 900, and the estimated expenditure was several times that of the previous two times.
Kangxi felt it was inappropriate and ordered to streamline it.
Originally, he wanted to reduce the number of people to less than four hundred, but after being persuaded and persuaded by several bachelors and ministers, the number was set at seven hundred.
Now the new expenditure list is three times that of the previous two southern tours.
Kangxi still felt that it was a big expense, so he was less interested in going out, so he met the ninth elder brother who had arrived late.
It was originally intended to appease the people, but it cost too much and became a nuisance to the people.
Even though these expenditures are expenses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and do not require taxes from the people, we still want to be as frugal as possible.
Seeing Brother Jiu's stunned look and his body twisted, he said with dissatisfaction: "What do you think? Stand up straight!"
Brother Jiu wanted to talk, but his stomach growled.
Intestines thundering?!
Brother Jiu thought it was novel and interesting, so he lowered his head and touched his belly.
I'm really hungry.
I didn't eat anything after vomiting at dinner last night, and I was tired again at night.
He looked at Kangxi and prayed: "Khan Ama, please reward your son with two mouthfuls of food before scolding him, otherwise he will not be able to stand firmly..."
Kangxi's face was full of disgust, but he still ordered Liang Jiugong: "Ask someone to serve a bowl of noodles and tea."
Liang Jiugong agreed.
Brother Jiu's body felt heavy, he looked at the edge of the kang, moved over and said: "Khan Ama, my son is a little lost, please sit down first!"
Seeing that the emperor's father had no intention of stopping, he raised his buttocks and sat down.
I am still tired and my shoulders feel loose.
Kangxi reached out his hand and touched his forehead.
No high fever.
"You were fine yesterday, why are you in such a mess?"
Kangxi frowned.
Brother Jiu thought about Shu Shu's words, but didn't say it directly. His eyes were a little wandering, and he groaned: "It's nothing... Maybe I ate the wind outside yesterday, and I vomited after eating at night..."
Only then did Kangxi realize that not only had he not slept well, but he had also vomited, so he hurriedly said to Wei Zhu, "Tell the imperial doctor!"
Wei Zhu bowed and went, and happened to bump into Liang Jiugong.
Liang Jiugong was holding a food plate in his hand, with a bowl of noodles and tea on it.
Wei Zhu hurriedly turned aside, while Liang Jiugong nodded reservedly and went in.
Brother Ninth is really hungry too.
As soon as the tea came in, his eyes widened.
When Liang Jiugong approached, he stood up and served noodles and tea himself: "Excuse me, I'd like to give you a cushion first..."
The noodle tea of millet noodles is topped with a layer of fragrant sesame sauce.
Brother Jiu's mouth was full of saliva, so he took the spoon and started eating.
Filling the empty stomach with hot noodles and tea makes the whole person come alive again.
At this time, the imperial doctor also followed Wei Zhu.
Kangxi ordered: "Show me!"
Brother Jiu had a guilty conscience, but thinking that he already had some words to deal with, he raised his arm generously and placed it on the pulse pillow.
The imperial doctor felt for his pulse, looked at Brother Jiu's face, and said, "Brother, haven't you rested well?"
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "As soon as I closed my eyes, I woke up from a nightmare, two or three times. Xinji is so powerful..."
The imperial doctor pondered and said, "Brother, open your mouth and let me see the coating on your tongue."
Brother Ninth did it honestly.
The imperial doctor frowned and felt that his pulse was weak. He carefully identified it and found that there were some thin strings, which was a sign of heart and courage deficiency.
It is easy to wake up from night dreams, and it is understandable to be timid.
But if this is the case, the tongue coating should look pale.
Now the color is indeed red, which is another sign of yin deficiency and fire exuberance.
Is it Yin deficiency or Qi deficiency?
Or both?
He didn't speak for a while.
Kangxi's face became heavy, and even his ninth elder brother was worried.
"Brother, what are your symptoms?"
Kangxi asked with a solemn face.
The imperial doctor considered it carefully and said: "My brother is timid and weak. He was frightened and was disturbed by nightmares. He is easily frightened when things happen."
"anything else?"
Kangxi had already thought of this, so he was not surprised and continued to ask.
If that were the case alone, the imperial physician would not have hesitated for so long.
The imperial doctor bowed and said: "In addition to qi deficiency, my brother also has some symptoms of yin deficiency... Maybe he has worked too hard in recent days, and the kidney qi is not stored, and the Jingguan is difficult to lock. He needs to use a Guipi Decoction or a Yizhong Buqi Decoction.
"
Brother Jiu's face turned red and he wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.
It really made Shu Shu talk, and he couldn't hide anything from the imperial doctor.
Kangxi nodded and said, "Let's make a prescription."
The imperial doctor agreed and went down to prescribe a prescription without mentioning it.
Brother Jiu felt a little unable to sit still, so he stood up and wanted to say goodbye.
Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Kangxi advised: "Don't be ashamed, this is common, it's not a big problem, just take care of it and it will be fine."
It should be said that the imperial doctor's diagnosis was not wrong.
The imperial physician was an old man from the imperial hospital. He knew about Brother Jiu's physical condition and knew that he was in the hospital and had no domestic favor. He just thought it was a diagnosis of a wet dream.
Kangxi understood the prescription as soon as he heard it, and thought it was because his son was weak.
Brother Ninth Brother still felt awkward and said in a low voice: "Khan Ama, if you don't have any other instructions, then my son should go back first..."
