Chapter 545 Why don't we go to the hot springs together?
Chapter 545 Why not go to the hot spring together
Ma Zhou said: "Maybe it was the people in the palace who spread the news. I didn't have time to ask about the details."
Fang Xuanling said, "What else is there to ask? It's obvious that the little princess's scraping method is not effective. It may be that she scraped the wrong acupoint, which caused the palace maid to faint. This is why this rumor came out, and it must be that the eunuch made up randomly."
Everyone nodded together, but the expression on their faces was very obvious. Even if it was a rumor, they took it seriously. Anything that was related to the emperor was not a trivial matter and must be treated with caution.
Fang Xuanling's words mean "for the honorific". The little princess shaved a palace maid and fainted. Everyone knew that the little princess's method was wrong, but she could not say it, but she had to change the statement. Just like the rumor now, it was said that the palace maid had an evil spirit and was brought to the monster. In this way, there would be no matter to the little princess. She is a princess, and she will not make mistakes, and the mistake is also on others. If there is no one else to blame, then you can only blame monsters. Monsters, monsters, if they are monsters, they have to be blamed!
Wang Ping'an could not guess that the palace maid who was over the monster would be Wu Meiniang. He thought it was a little palace maid in the princess's palace. He was tried by the princess, but he fainted.
Wang Ping'an frowned and said, "I'm afraid I'm dizzy. There is something like this in the scraping technique. When I explained the scraping technique to the prince and the princess, I once said this."
Changsun Wuji was the one who cared about the emperor the most. He waved his hand and said, "No matter whether he was infected with evil spirits or was scrambling, in short, scraping was dangerous and could not be used easily on the emperor. He was sick in his body, so how could he withstand the tossing? You said right, no disease?"
Wang Ping'an nodded, but immediately shook his head and said, "Uncle Changsun, the matter is not what you said. Scraping is not dangerous, and the evil saying is completely unreliable. Crow spirit is just a matter of making a little palace maid. How could it be that the emperor? Besides, the scraping thing cannot happen to the emperor. If the emperor has never seen any situation, how could he faint during scraping? This is impossible."
Chu Suiliang frowned and said, "Isn't it possible to change the prescription? I have to scrape it?"
Wang Ping'an did not answer immediately, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "I saw the emperor at the New Year's Eve dinner that night, but his condition did not seem to have worsened. And I heard from the princess that the emperor had never had any illness except for some minor problems. This shows that the medicine is the right symptom. It is a rash change of medicine, which is inconsistent with the medical principles, and it is also unfavorable to the emperor's body. It is a medicine that does not require taking medicine to scrape, but it can solve those minor problems. Therefore, this technique should be used and cannot be abandoned for the sake of rumors!"
Everyone talked around here to make Emperor Li Shimin live a few more years. Since Wang Ping'an said that there is no problem with scraping, everyone had no objection, just use it.
Changsun Wuji said, "The child in Hengshan is smart... Of course, he is not as good as the prince, but he is born to the queen before. Even if he is not bad, he will not be much worse. If she can't learn and cannot learn well, then the prince will probably not be very proficient!"
In front of outsiders, he does not call Li Yiren the name, but only the title. His meaning is that if scraping is really effective, it doesn’t matter if the emperor uses it, but don’t let the prince scrape the emperor, just change it to someone else!
Ma Zhou looked at Wang Ping'an and said, "So, Wujian takes action? Or let the imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Department scrape the emperor?"
Changsun Wuji immediately shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate. Last time I was scraping the Turkic envoy in Furong Garden. None of the imperial doctors thought of this method, but it was a hand that Wujian did not do. What does this mean?"
Everyone said together: "It means that the imperial physicians are not very proficient in scraping techniques, otherwise they would immediately think of using this method after an accident."
Scraping was indeed not a common medical skill in the palace in the early Tang Dynasty. Although the imperial physicians had their own expertise in medical skills, no one would publicly say: they were good at scraping or cupping. These two treatment methods were too popular. The imperial physicians were all senior figures, and they were best at prescriptions and prescribed long prescriptions, rather than scraping.
In fact, most imperial physicians have learned scraping. Even if they are not used frequently, their methods are not much worse than Wang Ping'an. Some imperial physicians are even many times better than Wang Ping'an. But because none of them are afraid of losing face and no one says they are good at it, the prime ministers think that they are not good at it. Wang Ping'an is used to being modest, never afraid of losing face, and never raises his own value, but instead makes everyone think that he has the highest level of scraping!
Changsun Wuji sighed: "At the critical moment, you have to rely on the disease, and you have to take action."
Ma Zhou said: "What I originally meant is to let Wujian treat the emperor, but you said it was inappropriate."
Changsun Wuji spoke up and said, "I am not saying that it is inappropriate to scrape Wuyan, but how can I get Wuyan to scrape the emperor. The older the emperor is, the more confused he is... the older he is... Alas, in short, the emperor is not like when he was young. Some things are very taboo. If Wuyan is scraping him, it will inevitably make him suspicious. If he is not happy, will he have aggravation of his condition."
The house was silent, and the prime ministers stopped talking, and Wang Ping'an did not dare to speak. Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin had such a good relationship. Li Shimin was indeed becoming more and more confused as he was when he was young. He was not as easy to talk as he was when he was young. Not to mention asking Wang Ping'an to go to the palace to scrape him, even if he got sick and the doctor went to the palace to treat him, he would feel unhappy for several days, and always suspected that others thought he would not live long and would be about to die!
After a long quiet day, Fang Xuanling spoke, and he said, "A few days ago, Princess Gaoyang clamored to go to the hot springs, and asked my second son to accompany her, but I stopped her. The weather is cold now, so it is actually quite comfortable to soak in the hot springs."
Everyone paused for a moment, and Changsun Wuji clapped his hands and said, "Yes, why did I forget this? Gao Yang's child is awkward. I have never been happy about it, but I didn't expect her to get awkward, but I solved a problem for us."
Wang Ping'an said: "Sleeping in a hot spring? This is a good thing, but..."
Chu Suiliang smiled and said, "But what, but you can scrape the emperor!"
Fang Xuanling touched his beard and smiled, "That's what I mean, let's go to Tangquan Palace."
The prime ministers immediately began to discuss how to persuade the emperor to go to the hot springs, and then find excuses to let Wang Ping'an go up and serve the emperor, so that the emperor can know the benefits of scraping and develop a habit. In this way, people in the palace can scrape the emperor for the emperor in the future, and Wang Ping'an does not have to take action every time.
Tangquan Palace is the Huaqing Pond in the future. It was built since the Western Zhou Dynasty. The Han Dynasty built a palace here. After Li Shimin became the emperor, he built the Tangquan Pond. By the time of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, it was expanded on a large scale and turned into the famous Huaqing Pond in later generations.
The famous Tangquan Palace is called Goddess Spring, why is it called Goddess Spring? It is said that a long time ago, Qin Shihuang didn't sleep in the middle of the night and wandered around Mount Li. He suddenly saw a beautiful woman, so Qin Shihuang stepped forward to tease her. As a result, the beauty had a very personality and didn't take him seriously at all. She thought he was a hooligan and spitted on the face of Mr. Shihuang!
After Qin Shihuang was sprayed with saliva, he felt very painful. The pain was so painful that he had to put down the emperor's airs and apologize to the beauty. This shows that the beauty cannot tease her randomly, and even saliva can hurt others invisibly. Seeing that he apologized, the beauty forgave him and picked up a handful of hot spring water and sprinkled it on his face. As a result, Qin Shihuang's face stopped hurting. As soon as the pain on his face was relieved, he immediately wanted to repair this ungrateful beauty, but found that the beauty flew into the sky and turned out to be a goddess.
As a result, the name of Goddess Spring was passed down, and Lishan Hot Spring has since become the exclusive royal family.
However, although Li Shimin built the Tangquan Palace, he did not go to the hot springs like his descendants. He rarely went there. After the Tangquan Palace was built, he took all the civil and military officials to visit once. After the bath, he wrote a short article saying that he was not here to enjoy it, but because he was too hard and was sick. Only after taking the hot springs could the pain be relieved.
As an emperor, there was no need to find a reason to soak in hot springs, but Li Shimin explained to the people of the world that he came to soak in hot springs to relieve pain, and since then, he rarely came to soak in hot springs again. It was not that he didn't like them, but he believed that the world was settled and the people's lives were not rich yet, so he should not enjoy it so much.
The prime ministers discussed it, and Changsun Wuji said, "I have an idea. After the Yuan Dynasty, I will be admitted to the imperial examination and the students will be selected. After the exam, we will find a quiet place to approve the papers. In order to avoid others coming to plead for mercy, it will be unfair to approve the papers, so we simply leave Beijing to approve the papers and go to Tangquan Palace. At the same time, we all want to go, and we will reward the ministers."
Chu Suiliang said: "That is a reward for us, not a reward for the emperor. Unless you say that this matter is very important, it must be presided over by the emperor himself."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Of course it is important. It is a national event. How can we say it is not important? Moreover, the examiners who used to approve papers were all well-educated in poetry and books, but what about this time?"
He pointed at Chu Suiliang and smiled and said, "You are the chief examiner, one old guy, you don't know what's the matter!" He pointed at Wang Ping'an again and said, "This deputy chief examiner, one little guy, is stupid, and he doesn't know what's the matter. You two must not be able to approve the papers well. Shouldn't the emperor personally check for you, and then we old ministers supervise it!"
Wang Ping'an grinned, what does it mean, why should I get involved with me!
Chu Suiliang smiled and said, "If you want to talk about guys, we are all, and if you want to talk about older people, you..."
Ma Zhou hurriedly said, "We can't do what we advise the emperor. We have to go, Lord Changsun. It is best to say it privately and not say it out loud, so as not to cause trouble."
"Okay, let me tell you about the matter of persuading the emperor to take a hot spring bath." Changsun Wuji nodded and said.
Fang Xuanling said: "The emperor does not want to enjoy himself, but the emperor will not refuse to agree on the grounds of rewarding the ministers, and there is also the excuse of approving the papers. But the problem is that we have all gone to the hot springs, so what should we do in the capital?"
Changsun Wuji said, "If you leave the prince to guard the capital, he should be in charge of the government affairs alone. He should be able to practice hard. You can't rely on us for everything. Besides, Tangquan Palace is not very far from Beijing, and it is enough to pass memorials every day. After all, the prince is just in charge of the women in the harem. He will not be able to control even a group of women!"
After saying that, he laughed loudly, his uncle was joking with his nephew. If you are polite, he could scold Li Zhi in person, let alone behind him!
But he laughed loudly, but no one in the room laughed. He was joking, but everyone didn't even dare to laugh! Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It's not necessarily that you look down on your nephew too highly. It's hard for others to say about women in the harem, but he will definitely not be able to control one!"
Changsun Wuji laughed a few times and was quite bored when he saw that no one supported him. He said, "Then this matter is settled. After the scientific examination, everyone will go to Tangquan Palace together and let the emperor have a good rest, then Wubing scrapes and cures him, and then teaches the loyal ministers of history and the emperor will scrape it in the future."
Everyone nodded together. Shi Zhongchen was still reliable, especially for matters related to the emperor. Shi Zhongchen was most concerned about it. Even if scraping was difficult to learn, he would definitely learn it. As long as the emperor accepted this treatment method, it would be easy to talk about it in the future!
After another conversation, Changsun Wuji invited everyone to his house for a banquet. It was the Chinese New Year, and everyone should have fun and enjoy life.
It was not until the moon was on the branches that Wang Ping'an returned to the temple. Di Renjie immediately came to see him, told him about going to see the small manor during the day, and said that he planned to move over tomorrow.
Wang Ping'an asked about the location and said strangely: "From the location, isn't that small manor just next to Ganye Temple? How could it be there? How far is it from Ganye Temple?"
Di Renjie said: "Not far away, the small manor is outside the woods, and Ganye Temple is in the woods, which is very close. When I came back, I went to Ganye Temple along the way, but I didn't enter the temple gate."
Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "You go there to live, don't get involved with the nuns in the temple. Don't go in and stroll around if you have nothing to do, so as not to get criticized."
Di Renjie smiled bitterly and said, "I can't go in and wander around. Today I want to go in and take a look, but I haven't even entered the temple gate. There are evil dogs in the temple, which are extremely fierce and evil."
Wang Ping'an remembered that he had seen the dog at the back mountain gate, which was really like a calf. He said, "If you are tired of studying, even if you want to walk around and relax, don't go to the back mountain. There are dense forests and beasts often appear. Be careful of wolves."
Di Renjie whispered and said, "How did you know the situation in the back mountain? Where have you been?"
Wang Ping'an said, "I've been there naturally, but you don't know." He didn't want to explain why, and said, "I guess after the Lantern Festival, my parents will start from Xuzhou to Beijing. I have to find a residence as soon as possible, so I can't let the two elders live in the monk temple!"
Di Renjie said: "Do you want to build up the place on Zhuque Street, which is the place that Lord Yuchi gave you?"
Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "It's okay, but it's not good to build it for a year or two. Find a place to buy a big mansion first! After the scientific examination is over, you can move in. Have more contact with the Wu sister and decide the marriage as soon as possible, so I can also worry."
