Da Wei Chun

Chapter 321
"In the middle of last month, Lieutenant Yushi (in charge of Yushitai, correcting and impeaching all officials, supervising civil and military affairs) Wang Xian diagnosed His Majesty's pulse, and his father was there to serve him. Lieutenant Wang once said: Your Majesty's emotions are out of balance, liver qi is not smooth, and qi stagnation Blood stasis, and accumulated over time, has accumulated in the abdomen...

I also advise His Majesty to regulate emotions, smooth Qi movement, relieve depression, supplement with rest, decoction, etc., it should be able to delay..."

Li Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat.

Doesn't the so-called accumulation in Chinese medicine refer to lumps, or cancer?

The emperor really had cirrhosis of the liver.

And what Wang Xian said is right, the most taboo of this disease is to be anxious and angry.But if you want to let the emperor rest and let him feel comfortable, it is no different from telling a joke.

Unless Yuan Ke is willing to be the Supreme Emperor and completely ignore state affairs, there is still some possibility.But the problem is, he doesn't even have a son.

Let alone Yuan Ke, anyone who changes someone would be unwilling to die...

Li Chengzhi pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "First find a way to make the emperor quit drinking..."

Gao Zhan couldn't figure it out for a hundred times: "Why do you want to quit drinking? Wang Xian, Xu Jian, Xu Xiong (all famous doctors in the Northern Wei Dynasty and Yuan Ke's imperial doctor), etc., all said that wine can nourish the spleen and liver, unblock the meridians and smooth the blood circulation. It has the effect of nourishing qi and nourishing blood. Besides, His Majesty is cold, so you should drink alcohol in moderation..."

Li Chengzhi sighed, but didn't know how to explain it.

Ninety-nine out of ten doctors in this era believe that alcohol is beneficial and harmless. Many Chinese medicine practitioners even believe that "alcohol is good at helping medicine and is the best of all medicines." They like to use alcohol as a medicine to treat any disease, including stroke.

But the problem is, this stuff is toxic when broken down by the liver.For ordinary people, drinking alcohol every day is like taking chronic poison, and it is undoubtedly extremely poisonous for liver disease patients...

After pondering for a long time, Li Chengzhi came up with a lame reason: "Alcohol is hot and humid, and your Majesty's dampness turns from cold to stagnation of liver qi, so it has all kinds of harm but no benefit..."

Just as Gao Zhan wanted to refute, he suddenly thought of Li Chengzhi's strangeness, and asked suspiciously, "Really?"

What is true?
After receiving such a big lesson, how could Li Chengzhi dare to speak up?
"Based on my understanding of medicinal properties, it should be like this..."

It means that I have already said what should be said, and I will not accept rebuttals and will not explain.As for whether to listen or not, that is Yuan Ke's business.

Li Chengzhi took the initiative to change the topic: "I haven't thanked you today. If you hadn't come in time, I might have had trouble with King Yingchuan. It's so late now, and I'm sorry for your long wait..."

"Why do you need such an identity?" Gao Zhan just wanted to say, "Sooner or later, we will all be family members", but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was inappropriate: Father hasn't let go yet...

"King Yingchuan and King Ruyang, you don't have to worry, my father has already informed these two, and I will definitely not bother you again..."

Gao Zhao?

Li Chengzhi felt a faint movement in his heart: it's a little early for this one to come forward?
He thought, no matter what, he had to wait until he became more famous, or rose to the fourth or fifth rank, before Gao Zhao would look at him in the right light.

But it's a good thing.

To say something cruel and snobbish, regardless of Gao Wenjun, before the emperor kicked his legs and closed his eyes, apart from Yuan Ke, Gao Zhao had the thickest thighs.

But how to grasp the speed is a technical task...

"It's getting late, and today is not the right time!" Li Chengzhi mused, "See if Sikong has some free time, and this junior will come to thank you again!"

"Father said there is no rush!" Gao Zhan replied, "Let me finish the errand first..."

Gao Zhao is passing a message to himself?

Li Chengzhi was delighted at once: "Okay!"

Just on the way, he asked Gao Zhan to send him to his uncle's house.

The emperor wanted to sell ice, so he ordered Guanglu Temple to count and store ice overnight. Li Shiliang had been working overtime since last night, so Li Chengxian was the only one at home.

After chatting for a while, Li Chengzhi went back to his room when he mentioned asking his cousin to train a musician.

Almost another sleepless night!
This time it's not just the heat, but also the urgency: the emperor is dying?

But according to the plan, let alone "slowly becoming the king", he is still far from "accumulating food widely".

It will take at least three to five years for the farmland in Hexi to be self-sufficient and feed thousands of soldiers and [-] to [-] refugees.

Going one step further: Even if I can make money continuously, buy food, and transport it to Hexi smoothly, but what about after that?
You don't think you can fight for world hegemony with just a few thousand soldiers and [-] to [-] refugees?
Are you kidding me?
Neither Liu Bang nor Liu Xiu's resurrection dared to be so crazy.

Apart from opportunity, what Li Chengzhi lacks most is time.

It takes time to reclaim wasteland and farmland, and it also takes time to dig mountains, dig mines, build roads, and build bridges.

Metallurgy and forging armor take time, and training soldiers takes time...

According to his vision, it would take eight to ten years at the shortest if he wanted to build up armor in Hexi and Tibet to ensure that he would have a share of the power when the world was in chaos.

The problem is, it is still unknown whether Yuan Ke can survive half of the life.More importantly, apart from his two daughters, Yuan Ke's son is not even a trace!
Yuan Ke is really going to die without an heir, and this big Wei can be a mess on the spot, how can there be time for him to develop secretly?

What a ghost, I clearly remember that Yuan Ke can live at least six or seven years, and there is a prince.

Otherwise, how could there be Queen Mother Hu who later killed her own son and caused complete chaos in the Yuan and Wei Dynasties?
Is there a deviation in history, or is it because the time has not yet come, maybe Hu Chonghua will be happy in a few months?

If it's the latter, it's okay, but if it's the former, it's going to be a big trouble!
Li Chengzhi was in a mess...

……

The second day off!

Liu Fang and Cui Guang both served as servants, as well as Shangshujian and Shangshuling, so they would enter Dachao City first as usual on the day of the rest of the dynasty, and wander around Menxia Province and Shangshu Province.

Only when these two places are not busy, the two of them will go to Guozijian and Taichang.If it is not busy there, the two will go to the Taishijian.

Everything remained the same, and the emperor had no intention of assigning the two of them, nor did he have any special errands to explain.The two old men went back together too often.

As a result, as soon as he entered the Taishi Supervisor, he saw a group of people watching Qiqi together, and even old scholars like Zhao Sheng and Gongsun Chong who didn't hear anything outside the window.

Seeing the two, all the officials and officials panicked after seeing the ceremony, and then dispersed.Gongsun Chong led Li Chengzhi, holding the imperial decree in his hand, and showed the two old men cheerfully:

"Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch... A man as handsome as Li Houlang should see him from time to time and offer advice to His Majesty..."

See you from time to time and offer advice?

Liu Fang and Cui Guang glanced at Shengzhi, both of them looked suspicious: The emperor actually added an official to Li Chengzhi?

It seems that the half-rank that Li Chengzhi was exempted just yesterday was added back, and Li Chengzhi is still a regular seventh-rank official.

The blame lies in the three words "Fengchao please".

Strictly speaking, these three characters are not official titles. They are generally honor and treatment given to idle officials, and also represent a kind of qualification, similar to the title of "advisor" in later generations.So that the emperor can ask questions at any time, and it also makes it easier for officials with this title to enter the court city or palace.

But it is intriguing to put this qualification on Li Chengzhi's head.

What is court request?
In ancient times, it was called "chao" in spring and "please" in autumn.Those who are invited by the court are eligible to participate in the court meeting.

The ridiculous thing is that his official job is from the seventh rank, and he is five ranks away from the official fifth rank court official who is qualified to go to court...

It was because of the ice selling plan that the emperor wanted to promote Li Chengzhi, so he should wait for the Ice Handling Division to be established and the ice cream sold well?
Cui Guang was full of doubts: "Let Li Chengzhi go to court, what is your majesty's intention?"

Liu Fang looked at Cui Guang, then at Li Chengzhi, but said nothing.

You should ask Li Chengzhi, what did he do when His Majesty summoned him yesterday?
Liu Fang thought for a while, and waved: "Follow me!"

Li Chengzhi was also curious.

Yesterday, the emperor's face turned green with anger. He thought that he would have to eat some food, but he didn't expect to be promoted?
In any case, it is better to be promoted than to be demoted, not to mention that this official is of great significance, so Li Chengzhi is quite happy.

After meeting Gao Zhan last night, he already knew that the nature of alchemy was not as serious as he expected, so when Liu Fang and Cui Guang asked about it, he did not hide it.

"The emperor asked you to practice alchemy, but you actually said that you would test the medicine with live pigs and dogs first, and then offer it to him when the poison can't kill you?"

The corners of Cui Guang's eyes twitched, looking at Li Chengzhi like a monster, as if to say: How did you get out of the palace alive?
"If you don't, just reject it. Heavenly Master Taoism is regarded as the state religion, so there is alchemy, how can your majesty not know that alchemy is poisonous?"

Liu Fang was both helpless and curious, "You broke His Majesty's thoughts with just one word, and I'm afraid His Majesty will be very angry. What's rare is that not only did you not punish you, but also gave you an imperial invitation?"

Easy to say?

If you don't speak clearly, how can you make the emperor completely give up?

I wish he could live another two or three years...

Li Chengzhi cursed in his heart, but his mouth was very obedient: "Afterwards, I knew that I was too reckless, but it was too late to regret it... I really didn't expect that His Majesty didn't blame me!"

"Your Majesty is a wise king!"

Liu Fang replied, and pondered again, "As the imperial decree said, His Majesty should have seen that you are loyal and upright, so he cherished your talents and returned your half-grade reward... From now on, you must do your best to be king. thing!"

"It seems that you and I are narrow-minded?"

Cui Guang said something strangely, and then looked sideways at Li Chengzhi, "I'm afraid you are scolding me and Si Qing in your heart because of punishing you yesterday?"

"How can I be a lower official?" Li Chengzhi pointed to the sky and called out to Qu.

There is no complaint, but the embarrassment is real.

If you can't even tell whether the two old men are kind or malicious, you are simply stupid.

To be honest, with the identities and means of these two, you may have to count the money for them if you sell yourself, and there is no need to ask the emperor for an order...

"Insincere words!"

Cui Guang reprimanded him, and then confessed, "Remember, once your ice is on sale, send a few yuan to the old man and the Siqing's house first. I have been used to it for many years. When I lack this thing, I want to sleep. It's hard to sleep... Don't worry, your copper coins won't be short..."

Haha ...

I can send a few catties of elbows to please Gongsun Chong and Zhao Sheng, but I forgot to give them a few pieces of ice?

No wonder Cui Guang is so yin and yang?

Li Chengzhi's face was full of embarrassment, and he forced a smile: "Your official must remember it!"

When I go back by myself, let Gao Zhan send someone to send a few dollars over...

……

When I left the city and returned to the house, it was almost time (ten o'clock in the morning).

Gao Zhan arrived earlier, and ran over just as the city gate opened.Seeing Li Chengzhi come back, he rushed out of the hall with a few counselors and handed over a stack of papers.

"Look through it for me, what do you think of this charter?"

Li Chengzhi took it and glanced quickly.

The raw materials are all ready-made, just a few, and the rest is nothing more than transportation, production, and sales, and the procedures are not complicated.

There are only two main points: one is the production and sales site, and the other is the personnel.

But for the court, neither of these matters at all.There is no need for the emperor's decree or Gao Zhao to come forward, just Gao Zhan to come forward to say hello, which monastery dares to say that it will not make a place in front of its own mountain gate or Fatai?

There is no need to worry about people: even if the emperor reduces them at every turn, there are two or three thousand officials and officials in the internal affairs departments such as the Shaofu, the palace, and the inner court. Hundred.

What Li Chengzhi is worried about is the propaganda.

"It's just me who wrote the pen, that's all, let's submit it!" Li Chengzhi replied, and then pondered, "Now it's time to look at the day of the seventh day... how about the venue you asked to find?"

Li Chengzhi was talking about the venue for the celebration, just one word: big!

The stage needs to be large, so that the common people can stop and watch it, and the open space for the production and sale of ice carts should be even larger.

"Don't worry, we have discussed with Yuan Yue!" Gao Zhan replied confidently.

Li Chengzhi's eyelids twitched: Why are you related to this rabbit master again?
"Have you forgotten?" Gao Zhan reminded, "The Taoist altars you saw on the day you entered the city were all places of Wuji Temple...well, it is the place of King Ruyang..."

Li Chengzhi took a sharp breath.

Such a large piece of land, perhaps more than ten acres, and it is so close to Xishi and Guocheng, is it all Yuanyue's?

Why should it be worth 3000 to [-] million gold? No wonder he made a bet with Yuan Yong worth a million gold?

But the emperor couldn't sleep because of tens of thousands of gold worries?

Sighing secretly, he pondered again: "It's best to discuss with King Ruyang and rent a piece of his Wuji Temple for two to three months!"

What Li Chengzhi meant was to put all the places where smoothies are made and sold here.

"Maybe His Majesty has to speak, but I guess it's not very difficult..." Gao Zhan grinned, "Prince Ruyang is still happy to share His Majesty's worries..."

"That's good!" Li Chengzhi nodded, and said again, "It depends on the seventh day of the seventh day to see if it can become a hit. Therefore, all ministries must coordinate well, such as Guanglu, the inner court, and the guards of the city. The Naoji and Habayashi of the gate, the Taifu and Shaofu for settlement of income and expenditure, and the palace for making ice soup...the manpower must be sufficient, and the order must be maintained..."

"Don't worry!" Gao Zhan patted his chest, "In addition to these, I will greet Tai Le and the inner palace, at least in the next half a day, your cousin and several music officials will come to help me train the musicians... um , Third Sister will come too!"

Gao Wenjun?
Li Chengzhi paused and nodded slightly.

Seeing that there was not much joy on his face, Gao Zhan was a little disappointed.

Didn't you still want to see Third Sister impatiently two days ago?
