Chapter 380: Sitting up in shock while dying of illness

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

"Your Majesty, do you really think so highly of me?!"

Hu Zun suddenly sat up from the hospital bed, looked at the letter in his hand, and then looked at the knight in front of him who was gasping for breath.

Hu Fen directly mobilized his father's power and ordered the post stations in various places to deliver letters as if they were in a state of war.

In a state of war, information is transmitted very quickly. People and horses have to be replaced in every place, and it is common to kill postmen and horses.

They would run at full speed to the next station, where someone would take over, and the cycle would repeat.

When Guanqiu Jian was attacking Liaodong, he used this model to communicate with the court. He was even able to receive orders from the court in a timely manner and adjust his strategy.

Hu Fen was also anxious about this news.

When Hu Zun saw his son's letter, he actually sat up from his hospital bed.

Hu Zun came from a prominent family in the frontier. Because of this background, the ministers in the court did not respect him very much. They all thought he was a crude and military man who was not qualified to discuss classics.

When Sima Yi attached great importance to him, brought him by his side and entrusted him with important tasks, Hu Zun fought for him wholeheartedly.

Now the son-in-law of the great general and the emperor of Wei once again made Hu Zun feel valued.

Hu Fen conveyed the emperor's words truthfully.

The emperor said: There is no need to let General Hu come to pay a visit in person. Just hand over Qingzhou and Xuzhou to him for governance. He can focus on handling important affairs here, deal with those lawless villains on his own, and decide some things on his own. He only needs to report to me afterwards.

He even said a lot of good things about himself, talked in detail about every battle he had experienced, his promotion process, and the recognition of his work attitude, etc.

This was extremely helpful to Hu Zun.

He just felt in a very good mood and felt extremely comfortable. He exhaled and looked at the doctors beside him.

"What are you still standing there for? Hand me the medicine!"

"what?"

The doctors were all a little surprised. You clearly said just now that you knew your condition and that there was no need to take medicine. Why are you asking us to give you medicine now?
Hu Zun was a hot-tempered person and cursed a few times before the doctor brought the medicine and placed it in front of Hu Zun. Hu Zun took a few mouthfuls of the medicine and felt bitter, but he still forced himself to finish it.

How can the governor of Qingxu, who is in a state of illness, do his work if he wants to vigorously rectify the situation?

I have to get better soon, and then take care of the important matters. Judging from His Majesty's attitude, perhaps this position of general is really left to me!

Thinking of this, Hu Zun felt refreshed and his heart was full of anticipation.

After taking the medicine, he hurriedly summoned many generals under his command.

When the generals arrived at the study, Hu Zun had already put on armor and sat in the upper seat.

"You all have been my followers for years. Let me be frank. This time, I'm following His Majesty's orders to deal with those unlearned and unskillful bastards. If anyone dares to collude with these bastards in private and sabotage my plans, I will have them hanged on a horse and dragged to death on the road!"

The generals were horrified. If Hu Zun dared to say so, he would dare to do so.

"only!!"

"Everyone, organize your troops and follow the eunuchs who are here to monitor us. Anyone who dares to cheat, disrespect them, hide their crimes, harm them, or even plot to kill them, anyone they deem bad, will be chopped to pieces by Nai Gong!!!"

"only!!!"

At this moment in the palace, Cao Mao was standing not far away, looking at Huangfu Mi.

Huangfu Mi frowned, holding a lot of needles in his hand, inserting them into the weak body.

Sima Yi was anxious and frightened, her eyes full of tears as she stared at the other person. After hearing the crying, she couldn't help but want to leave. She was in extreme pain.

Sima Li's son Guo Ping had been in poor health since childhood. In recent days, he had been coughing all day and becoming increasingly weak. The imperial doctors had visited him several times but could not find any problems.

Cao Mao suddenly remembered that in history, this child died young, and Sima Yi died soon after.

Cao Mao immediately found Huangfu Mi, who was reading a book in the Royal Library, and asked him to show the book to the child.

Huangfu Mi just looked at the child for a few seconds, then took out the many fine needles he had prepared and began the treatment.

Cao Mao was not so sure at this moment. He knew that Huangfu Mi was a great medical expert, but the problem was that he had not yet reached the level in history. Could he really cure Guo Ping now?

He wasn't sure either.

He did not disturb Huangfu Mi, but just stood aside and watched the scene.

He also wanted to see how far Huangfu Mi's rumored superb skills had reached.

Huangfu Mi worked for a long time before finally pulling out the needles, sweating profusely. He walked over to Cao Mao and said, "Your Majesty, the problem is not serious. This disease has probably been there for a few years, but you have taken good care of yourself over the years, so it has not shown any symptoms. I can cure it, but it will take some time."

Hearing this, Sima Yi could no longer hold back and cried while holding Huangfu Mi's hands.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Thank you!"

Although Huangfu Mi couldn't hear her, he probably understood what she meant by looking at her expression. He was silent for a long time before he said, "No need to thank me, it's just a small favor."

Sima Yi immediately rushed to Guo Ping's side, hugged her son and tried to comfort him.

Cao Mao followed Huangfu Mi out of here.

Zhang Hua thoughtfully took out paper and pen and followed Cao Mao to talk. Cao Mao said, "Mr. Huangfu is kind-hearted. I will definitely reward him for saving my stepson."

Huangfu Mi fell silent again when he saw Zhang Hua's words.

"How dare you accept the reward?"

He began to speak, "In the past, I was quite fond of history and had always been studying historical classics. Since I had this serious illness and no one could cure it, I had the idea of studying medicine to govern myself."

"Over the years, I have been collecting medical classics everywhere, but it was all for my own benefit. I never thought about helping others."

"I've been busy for a long time, but I haven't been able to cure my illness. I've been thinking about giving up."

"Now it seems that even if I can't cure myself, I can still cure others. I should continue to collect this medical classic and complete it as soon as possible."

"I'm ill, and my hands aren't steady. Even if I knew the condition, it would be difficult to start. Perhaps I can find some disciples in the future to pass this method on."

Cao Mao was suddenly moved, and he looked at the person walking beside him again.

Compared with this man, these bastards in the temple are really so despicable.

Cao Mao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I know the importance of medicine. Although there is a Royal Physician, he is only responsible for me. I feel it is inappropriate."

"I want to set up a medical department, and there are many things I want to do."

"It's certainly not easy to accomplish anything, but I have to do it. If your acupuncture method is successful, it will definitely become a branch of our medical department and be promoted throughout the world."

The two were talking when suddenly someone rushed out from the Shiqian Hall.

It was Sima Li. She hurriedly walked up to Cao Mao and bowed deeply without waiting for Cao Mao to react.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for saving my life! I truly cannot repay you!"

"Your Majesty, I and I will never forget your great kindness."

Cao Mao helped her up, but Huangfu Mi left on the pretext of continuing to look for medical books. Zhang Hua also did not stay there and took the initiative to move away from him.

"It doesn't have to be like this, ma'am."

"Ping treats me as his father, so naturally I treat him as my child."

Sima Yi wiped away her tears. Just now she was only concerned about the child's condition and forgot to thank the emperor.

Cao Mao then asked, "You were the one who taught Zheng Xian all those methods, right?"

"It was taught by this concubine."

"why?"

"Your Majesty's grace is as great as a mountain. This is the only way I can help you resolve some of your worries. I know the Queen Mother's character. Now that Madam Zheng is by her side, Your Majesty will have fewer troubles."

Cao Mao was very satisfied with Sima Yi's sincerity.

He nodded, "Okay, if you..."

He started to speak, but stopped quickly.

Cao Mao could inherit Sima Shi's legacy through Sima Yi's identity, but he could not make Sima Yi his legitimate wife. Otherwise, it would be fine for him, but when it came to his children's generation, there would still be no one to rule the Sima family. They were already one of the most powerful families in the world. If he had another relative, wouldn't that be a big deal?
The two talked for a few words before Cao Mao allowed Sima Li to return to Shiqian Palace.

Only then did Zhang Hua approach the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Lord Huangfu's medical skills are extremely impressive. If it weren't for this arthritis, I'm afraid he would be your Majesty's best imperial physician."

Cao Mao shook his head. "Even if Huangfu Gong couldn't practice, that wouldn't stop him from becoming a world-renowned doctor. Although he didn't travel around the country to treat patients, the knowledge he gained, if passed down, would save countless lives. Compared to him, I pale in comparison."

Zhang Hua did not expect that the emperor had such a high opinion of Huangfu Mi.

Cao Mao and Zhang Hua were walking on the road leading to Taiji Hall.

Zhang Hua talked about the recent external situation.

"Your Majesty, the official in charge of external affairs has submitted a letter stating that Shu has been frequently contacting Wu. Jiang Wei of Shu and Sun Jun of Wu have officially dispatched envoys."

"General Guanqiu submitted a memorial: Wu has recently been deploying troops more frequently."

Cao Mao was stunned.

Shu and Wu? ?
He did remember that the relationship between Wu and Shu had eased during Sun Jun's time, but it was still not close.

Could it be that Jiang Wei's defeat this time made both countries feel threatened?

Cao Mao frowned immediately.

"Send someone to investigate and find out what they are plotting."

"It's rare for Jiang Wei and Sun Jun to join forces. However, even if they had such an idea, I'm afraid the ministers of Shu and Wu would not agree."

"The last time they teamed up, the end result was not very good."

"Even though the old ministers are gone, Shu wouldn't dare to get too close to Wu again. Aren't they afraid of being betrayed again?"

Zhang Hua frowned. "I'm worried they'll start acting in concert from now on. Sun Jun is ambitious, and Jiang Wei is still ruthless. If they both start harassing us at the same time, the situation there will be even more trouble."
