Wei Zhi glanced at her, stuffed the pill into his mouth and ate it. The taste was a bit weird.
If Zhou Man hadn't brought this thing himself, he would have spit it out and dared not eat it.
Seeing him taking it, Man Bao narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said: "You take this first, it's a five-day supply, and after you finish these two bottles of medicine, you can take the prescription given by the Tai Hospital."
Wei Zhi was a little puzzled, "Don't you want to test the medicine? If it's good, why don't you continue with this prescription?"
Man Bao took a deep look at Wei Zhi and said, "Use it first, and I'll see the pulse to decide."
Wei Zhi felt that there was something strange in her eyes, but he didn't think anything bad, and nodded in response.
Man Bao mixed half a tube of medicine into the pills, the amount was small, and it was meant to continuously and slowly repair people's internal organs, so nothing could be seen in a short time.
Five days later, Man Bao took Wei Zhi's pulse and gave him an injection. When he fell asleep, he called the old servant who took care of him to go out and talk, "Have you finished the two bottles of medicine you gave Mr. Wei earlier?"
The old servant bent over and said, "There are still two pills."
Man Bao nodded, "After eating, switch back to the previous taste."
She took the pills out of the medicine box and gave them to him, saying: "I took them out from the imperial hospital. I should have had three days' worth of medicine before I changed the medicine. After a long time, the effects of the medicine might fade. Bring it to me."
The old servant complied, took the two new bottles of medicine and left, then turned around and fetched a medicine bottle for her.
Man Bao opened it to check the quantity, nodded with him, and then went in to see Wei Zhi.
Except for her and Baishan Wei Zhi, master and servant, no one knew that Wei Zhi had changed his medicine.
The old servant doesn't think it's strange, it's a common thing to change the medicine when treating a disease.
But Wei Zhi found it strange.
When taking the medicine at night, he put the medicine in the palm of his hand and read it carefully.
Madam Wei saw that he hadn't taken it for a long time, so she stepped forward and asked softly, "Is there something wrong with this medicine?"
Wei Zhi smiled and said, "No, I just feel that the pill is not round enough, and I don't know who rubbed it."
He paused, then put the medicine in his mouth and took it.
Mrs. Wei couldn't help saying angrily: "You are a drug taker and still pay attention to these..."
She turned around to make the bed, and said, "Hurry up and soak your feet, I see that you have slept better these few days, did you change the medicine bag for soaking your feet again?"
Wei Zhi asked in surprise, "Did I sleep well these days?"
"Yeah, although I fell asleep faster after soaking my feet before, I always woke up at night and felt lighter, but these days you wake up less often at night."
Wei Zhi became thoughtful, holding the medicine bottle and meditating, and decided to take the last pill tomorrow.
But when Wei Zhi woke up the next day, he still didn't take the pill after pondering for a long time. Instead, he cut off a third of it, wrapped it in paper, beckoned to his long follower, handed the medicine to him and said, "Go to Fenghuang Go to Zhouzhou and find the best doctor there to ask about the situation of this medicine."
Chang Sui was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand why he went to Fengzhou instead of looking for a doctor in the capital, but he still took it respectfully, bowed and retreated.
Not only in the capital, but also in Yongzhou, the doctor has contact with Zhou Man. Now who doesn't know that he is Zhou Man's patient
In order not to cause trouble for each other, let's go to Fengzhou.
Man Bao didn't know anything about this, she was queuing at the gate of the palace to enter the palace at this time.
Today's court meeting, the court meeting before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I heard that many foreign envoys will pay tribute this year.
Therefore, there is a palace banquet in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. I don't know if Bai Shan can attend, but Zhou Man definitely can.
So she was thinking, did she wear a nice dress that night, or an official uniform
Man Bao followed the crowd with his head down and his expression pensive. He was climbing the long steps of the old elders in the Taiji Hall. Tang He patted her left shoulder from behind, and she subconsciously looked to the left. Stand to her right and ask, "What are you thinking?"
As usual, she wouldn't be so fooled.
Man Bao came back to his senses and said: "Thinking about what clothes I should wear for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, is it an official robe, or should I make another set that conforms to the fashion?"
Tang He said: "Official robes, it's more talkative."
He said with a smile: "This year's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet will definitely not be peaceful, so you'd better bring Bai Shanye with you. Officials attending are allowed to bring their family members."
When Man Bao heard this, he immediately asked, "Why are you not calm?"
"Don't you know, Goguryeo's envoys went to Beijing to seek peace the day before yesterday, and their fifth prince knelt outside the palace gate yesterday to beg to see His Majesty."
"No, I only heard that His Majesty wants to conquer in person. How did we win against Goguryeo?"
Tang He was speechless. After climbing the steps, he happened to be standing at the entrance of the main hall panting for breath. He leaned on his waist and looked around. Seeing that no one from the Ministry of War was there, he said, "No, that's why Your Majesty is clamoring for the imperial conquest."
Man Bao: ... Well, I shouted now from the summer vacation.
"Then what are they asking for?"
"Because Silla and Baekje joined forces to attack Goguryeo from the south, they were attacked on three sides, but this peace request may not necessarily be a peace request." Tang He said: "They have no reputation and are fierce. This may be a fraudulent peace."
The emperor also thought so, so he was unwilling to meet the Goguryeo envoy.
Sitting on the dragon chair, he snorted coldly, "Gaoyi, Fuyu and Yanren have always been cunning, and they once made peace with each other when they were the last emperor, so their words cannot be trusted."
The emperor's ambition was ignited again. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying: "Taking advantage of this opportunity between Silla and Baekje to attack, it would be better for my royal conquest to take back the land occupied by Goguryeo."
The subtext is, let's go and destroy his country.
Wei Zhi was still thinking about salt tax reform, so he didn't want to go to war, so he came out to express his opposition.
The emperor was angry, and looked at Zhao Guogong and others, "What do Zhao Qing and others think?"
Zhao Guogong expressed his support and said solemnly: "In the Han Dynasty, Xuantu County and Lelang County were under the rule of our Han people. If it weren't for the Gaoyi, Fuyu and Ji people who took advantage of the war and divided many Han people, there would be no Goguryeo. Not to mention that from the previous dynasty to the present, he has surrendered to us on the surface, but the annual tribute is sometimes absent, and he has violated the border many times. If he does not take our country seriously, if he does not punish him, how will he be able to persuade us in the future? Many vassal states?"
The emperor nodded again and again, "That's right, Goguryeo is just a vassal state, and the land it occupies now was taken from the previous dynasty. Since I ascended the throne, they have rarely paid tribute, and they have committed border violations many times. Not punishing them is not enough to anger the common people." .”
He stared at the ministers below with piercing eyes, "What do you think?"
Most of them agreed, and a small number of them said nothing, but those who agreed thought that it was enough to continue to send troops to attack, and the emperor didn't need to personally drive and conquer.
The emperor said he wanted to boost morale.
There is no solution to this matter for the time being, but the emperor still does not want to see the Goguryeo people, so he does not intend to let them participate in the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.
Wei Zhi didn't have much opinion on this, and a dozen ministers who had something to report moved to the Imperial Study Room to continue the discussion.
Gu Zhong quietly stopped Zhou Man who was going to have morning tea after the court was over, and whispered: "Your Majesty, please go to the small court together."
Man Bao was surprised, "I'm just a doctor of the Imperial Medical Office, and Xiao Yuanzheng should be referred to the Imperial Medical Office for matters."
