When Zhou Man went out, it was already dawn, Daji prepared the carriage, and Xibing took the medicine box to the carriage, "My lady, shall I enter the palace with you?"
"No need," Zhou Man said, "There are medical assistants in the imperial hospital, it is inconvenient for you to go in and out of the palace, I will tell them to do something."
The western cakes were ordered, so they did not enter the palace with Zhou Man.
Zhou Man went out early, and when she reached the gate of the palace, few adults entered the palace. She took the medicine box to the Tai Hospital first, and then went slowly to the emperor's study while admiring the winter scenery of Tai Chi Hall.
Most of the small court meetings were held in the emperor's study.
When Zhou Man wandered over, there were already several adults waiting, all acquaintances, Han Shangshu, Li Shangshu and Liu Shangshu were all there, even Yang Heshu came.
Zhou Man walked over and bowed to everyone, Liu Shangshu pointed to Cui Shangshu and said with a smile: "Master Zhou has not seen Cui Shangshu and Zhang Shangshu, has he? This is Cui Shangshu from the Ministry of Officials, and Zhang Shangshu from the Ministry of Punishment. Shangshu."
Cui Shangshu said with a smile: "I met you at the luncheon yesterday, Mr. Zhou really lives up to his reputation."
Zhou Man smiled with humility on his lips, but wondered in his heart, did she show off her medical skills yesterday
Zhang Shangshu looked at Zhou Man and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've met Mr. Zhou, but the two of us are destined for each other."
"Oh?" Zhou Man looked at Zhang Shangshu curiously, not too impressed, but he looked familiar.
Yang Heshu smiled and said, "You must have met Zhang Shangshu. Zhang Shangshu was once the governor of Jiannan Road. During that time, you and Bai Shan Baicheng studied in Yizhou."
Zhou Man suddenly remembered, "Oh, Dragon Boat Festival, that, I have indeed seen it, I haven't seen it for many years, but Mr. Zhang hasn't changed much, he is still so young."
Zhang Shangshu laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said: "Mianzhou is also under the rule of Jiannan Dao. As a Jiedu envoy, I can barely be regarded as the parental officer of Mr. Zhou, let alone what happened in Yizhou back then, although we have never seen it before. However, we did not cooperate much, so I say that the two of us are destined."
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect..."
Several people exchanged pleasantries, Gu Zhong came out and invited them in, and the others also arrived.
Zhou Man scanned around, and except for the three people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Imperial Medical Department, there were only two people from other departments.
Therefore, there are not many people. After entering the room, everyone sat down in groups.
This time the ranking is based on actual position, not title, so Zhou Man sat at the bottom of Xiao Yuanzheng, and below that was Lord Luo.
Here, it is much closer to the emperor than in the Great Court Meeting. It is only two rows away. She can see the emperor as soon as she looks up, and the emperor only needs to lift her eyelids to see her.
The most terrible thing was that the crown prince was sitting in the first place opposite her, not very far away from her, and he could see her as soon as he looked up.
So Zhou Man didn't dare to doze off, and sat obediently after entering.
Fortunately, today's topic is about the establishment of pharmacies by various departments of the Imperial Medical Department, so Zhou Man is not troubled if he has something to say.
She was so energetic throughout the morning that even the emperor was surprised.
Zhou Man slept and fished at the Dachao meeting for several years. He is not blind, even if he is far away, but he sits high, and the movement below is not clear, but after so many years, he can see it.
But because Zhou Man is only interested in medical skills and the imperial medical office, she basically doesn't interfere in other government affairs, and her identity is a bit special. If she doesn't speak, it is more comfortable for the officials in the court, so the emperor often turns a blind eye. let go.
It's just that sometimes when his heart is not going well, or the result of the discussion among the officials is not what he wants, he will call Zhou Man to speak out, not only to relieve his mood, but also to disgust the officials.
Without his roll call, it is rare for her to be able to listen to the morning court for a whole day.
The emperor glanced at Zhou Man, waved his hand, and announced his withdrawal from the court. Everyone should do what they want to do. Today's small court meeting is over.
Zhou Man got up and was about to go out with Xiao Yuanzheng, when Gu Zhong trotted up and said: "Lord Zhou, please stop, Your Majesty will leave you to discuss matters."
Master Luo glanced at Zhou Man, then at Xiao Yuanzheng, whose expression didn't change much, and turned around first to go out.
Yang Heshu smiled at Zhou Man, and followed Liu Shangshu.
The prince also left, leaving only the emperor, Gu Zhong and Zhou Man in the room.
The emperor rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand, Zhou Man stepped forward to feel his pulse, "Your Majesty is feeling unwell?"
The emperor glanced down at her, "Detoxification."
"Oh, Your Majesty, the needle is too painful and wears on the body. You can't get the needle frequently, at least half a month apart."
"Where's the detoxification soup?"
"We haven't researched the medicine used in his elixir, so it's not easy to make detoxification soup. There is a universal detoxification decoction, but the medicine is three-point poisonous. Its medicine effect is mediocre, but it will leave poison, and it will be more complicated at that time. , so it’s better not to use it.” Zhou Man appeased the emperor and said: “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will study the elixir whenever I have time, and I will definitely research the detoxification formula as soon as possible.”
The emperor frowned and asked, "Are you busy now?"
Zhou Man sighed and nodded.
The emperor said: "Go and hand over the job, and then hand over the matter to Xiao Yuanzheng and Lord Luo. You can concentrate on the detoxification of the Taiyuan Hospital."
Zhou Man agreed, the emperor's body is naturally the most important, so...
Zhou Man secretly glanced at the emperor.
The emperor looked at her and asked, "What else?"
"Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with Naluoer Sapo?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked her, "How do you want me to deal with him?"
"Your Majesty, no matter how you deal with him, if he is imprisoned, beheaded, etc., before that, can I draw some blood from his body and study his body?"
The emperor: "...do you really believe that he lived to be two hundred years old?"
Zhou Man was even more surprised than him, "...Your Majesty, don't you believe it?"
The emperor glanced at her lightly and said: "I don't intend to catch him, nor do I intend to kill him, he is still staying in the Changsheng Temple, if you want his blood or something on his body, you can find a way to get it yourself." .”
The emperor not only did not move Naluoer Sapo, but also ordered people to treat him with courtesy and not to be neglected.
Zhou Man boasted that such a smart person couldn't figure out what he was going to do. She quietly discussed with Xiao Yuanzheng, "Even if the poisoning cannot be publicized, but he has harmed His Majesty after all, there are still many ways to deal with him."
She snorted and said, "He made one, two, or three pills in one furnace, and you can tell with your toes that he has retained a lot of medicinal materials."
"There are so many precious medicinal materials. You only need to check the accounts to find out that he is corrupt. This method can expose him, not to mention that you can start from crimes such as lying and deceiving people. Why don't you think His Majesty will clean it up?" How could he be so gentle and polite to him?"
Xiao Yuan was signing for her and said: "Maybe it is to paralyze him, so that we can attack him later?"
"Then Luo Er is just a person, and he is not from a wealthy family, why do you need to numb him?" Zhou Man said: "If you arrest him, you will be arrested. Will someone come out to defend him?"
