Imperial Physician Liu thought about it carefully, then shook his head, and said, "I didn't notice any abnormalities, and men, isn't this normal?"
Xiao Yuanzheng was silent for a while and then shook his head, "No, Your Majesty... the pulse condition in the past is not like this, unless..."
Imperial Physician Liu waited for a long time, and when he saw that he had nothing to say, he gave him a push, "Say it."
Xiao Yuanzheng frowned and said: "Forget it, His Majesty came back from outside the palace, who knows who he came into contact with outside? Let's treat the illness first."
Imperial Physician Liu stared wide-eyed, lowered his voice and said, "You mean His Majesty went out of the palace to hunt for beauty?"
Xiao Yuanzheng glanced at him and said: "I didn't say that, and, Doctor Liu, when did you talk so much like Zhou Man?"
Physician Liu immediately stopped talking, and silently did not speak any more.
The two silently boiled medicine for the emperor.
After the emperor drank the medicine, both the crown prince and the Daming Palace knew about the emperor's illness.
The crown prince came to pay his respects. The emperor called people in and told him about the new rice planting, saying: "This matter concerns the country. I have issued an edict to let Zhou Man and his nephew Zhou Li come back to Beijing. Originally, this matter was to be handed over to the emperor. For Wei Zhi, but he is sick now, so I will leave this matter to you."
The crown prince responded, the emperor paused, and then mentioned Zhuang Xun, "... I asked Zhuang Xun about his strategy for governing the country, and I had a sincere talk with him yesterday. He is indeed a rare teacher."
The emperor said: "It's a pity that he is too old. Although he is stable, he has lost his vigor. He can no longer start from a young age like other officials, so I still decided to let him be a teacher and educator."
The emperor leaned on the bed, looked at the prince, stared at his face and said: "I plan to promote him to be a bachelor of Chongwenguan, and make him a young prince, what do you think?"
Prince Shao Fu or something, the prince is numb. He is the prince who has the most princes and Shao Fu in history.
But Chongwenguan bachelor...
The prince raised his head and asked, "Does Confucius have any objections to offering wine?"
Chongwenguan has two bachelor positions, one of which is Kong Jijiu, and the other has been vacant.
If it was given to Zhuang Xun, he would be the first person under Kong Jijiu.
The emperor said indifferently: "It's for you sir, as long as you have no objections, do you have any objections?"
Prince: ... If he has an opinion, he will not be banned, then how did he get so many teachers before him
The prince said expressionlessly: "I have no objection."
The emperor was satisfied.
As soon as the imperial edict summoning Zhou Lizhong and Zhou Man came out of Beijing, Zhuang Xun's decree for promotion also came down.
Both the old Zhou's family and the Bai's family were shocked, and Zhou's house immediately became lively.
Old Zhou was so excited that his face turned red, and when he finally calmed down, he sat on the steps and thought about it, and when he thought about it, he was still a little unbelievable, "So Mr. Zhuang became a high-ranking official all at once?"
Zhou Dalang nodded, and said to his father: "I asked, Prince Shaofu is from the second rank, father, from the second rank, he is even older than Man Bao's fourth rank official!"
The old Zhou Tou immediately asked: "How many jobs can be divided?"
Mr. Zhuang was only dealing with everyone's congratulations today, and now he just took a sip of tea when he was free, and said with a smile: "There is no job field."
"What?" Old Zhou stood up suddenly, "Why is there no job field?"
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "This is a false title, there is no job field, but there are some rewards."
Old Zhou felt that this official was very unreal, the rewards were only so much, and it was not stable, the job field was the iron rice bowl.
Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Although there is no job field, but the prince's young master Fu is the prince's teacher, he is extremely honorable, and he is just right for you."
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "The old lady is absurd."
He paused and then said with a smile: "Although the crown prince Shaofu doesn't have a job title, he has a bachelor's degree, but I can't keep up with this year's division of jobs. I can only wait for the next year, when the imperial court will make up for the remaining jobs and have to work. You help me take care of it."
Old Zhoutou immediately said: "Sir, just don't worry, these sons in my family can't do anything else, but farming is not difficult for them. I will let them plant it for you. Based on your teaching to Man Bao, let them give it to you." You deserve it all your life."
Mr. Zhuang shook his hand, "I'm sorry, I'm begging a few children, it's not my credit."
Old Zhoutou didn't understand the big reason, so he shook his head directly and said: "The emperor is so powerful, can he still recognize his talent? He asked you to be the prince's teacher, it must be because of your good knowledge, it is really because of Man Bao, and that is also because You taught Man Bao well."
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Yes, without the teacher's teaching, the three children would not be where they are today."
After a pause, she asked, "Mr. Zhuang, do you want to send someone back to Luojiang County to deliver a letter?"
Mr. Zhuang was silent.
Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "The imperial court wants to summon Li Zhong. Send a letter back at this time. When he comes back, he can just bring the letter back. And if the children in the family are interested, maybe they can come to Beijing with him."
Mr. Zhuang was very moved.
Mrs. Liu saw it, and immediately smiled and said: "Sir, write a letter, I will send the letter back immediately tomorrow."
Mrs. Liu also wrote a letter to Master Bai, telling him about the situation in the capital, the Zhou family will become famous all over the world with the new rice seeds, and there are too many things they can do.
The illness came like a mountain, and the illness went like a spinning thread. The emperor was sick and did not go to court for five days, and the empress moved back from the Daming Palace.
After the emperor finished approving the papers, he twisted his neck and got up muttering, "Work hard, work hard, why are there more and more papers in the past two days, shouldn't you send them to the prince?"
Gu Zhong bent down and replied: "Your Majesty, the autumn tax is about to be collected, so there are many things. Mr. Wei is ill, and many people under the papers are unable to make up their minds, so they all deliver them up. His Royal Highness also received a lot of papers. , I heard that the lights in the study room are on until the third watch every night."
The emperor was ill, although he didn’t need to go to the court, but the papers had to be approved. In order to let him recuperate better, the crown prince took over most of the papers, but Wei Zhi was also sick at this time, and he was the kind who couldn’t manage. There are more discounts from the prince.
Whether it was his own son, the emperor still felt distressed, frowned and asked, "How is Wei Zhi's condition?"
Gu Zhong lowered his head and lowered his voice, "I've been in a daze since I moved out of the side hall. Princess Changyu and her son-in-law have also moved back from the princess mansion."
The emperor's face was not very good, and he asked: "Is the imperial decree coming to Qingzhou soon? An additional order will be issued to let Zhou Man enter Beijing immediately after receiving the imperial decree without delay."
The emperor paused and said: "She is limited to arrive in the capital within half a month."
Gu Zhong asked cautiously, "Is it from the moment I received the imperial decree, or..."
"From today onwards," the emperor said after glancing at him, "Take half a month from Qingzhou to the capital, is she a tortoise?"
Gu Zhong immediately didn't dare to say anything.
