Practicing Medicine in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 6

When the word "Wu Yi" came into his ears, Wu Ji only felt that the name was very familiar, but he didn't find a decent figure in his mind.

Wu Xu coughed lightly towards the door: "What are you arguing about? Master is here asking me for books."

Jiang Shi winked outside, and Wu Jiu hurriedly followed her out of the courtyard.

This episode was like throwing a stone into deep water without stirring up any waves.

Wu Ji quickly put that name behind him.

"Dr. Zhang's visit to Yuanzhou this time is for the purpose of selecting talents, and secondly, your grandfather worked with him during his lifetime. This visit also means condolences to the mourning hall. Thirdly..." He paused, looking at Zhu Hong outside the window.

In the gray sky, there seems to be a ray of rain drifting by, and then it disappears on the black tile roof.

Wu Xu immediately pulled the window closer and listened to it.

Wu Ji lowered his voice and said slowly: "Zhang Qiren has served the East Palace for a long time, and he will not leave Chang'an easily. Tell me, what else is there in our Yuanzhou City that deserves his visit?"

Wu Xu understood: "Father means that Dr. Zhang is here for Li Sujie, the king of Poyang County?"

Wu Jidao: "Concubine Xiao Shu, the biological mother of the prince of the county, used to have quarrels with Empress Wu. In the early years of Qianfeng, His Majesty had already ordered that he should not be summoned to the pilgrimage. Now two years have passed..."

"You mean, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to kill the grass?"

As soon as Wu Xu spoke, he saw Wu Ji's floating eyes suddenly sink and fell on his own face.

After a long time, he showed a lukewarm smile: "You, you are too young."

"My son is dull." He couldn't fathom, see, or guess what his father, who was over half a century old, was thinking, let alone see through the entanglements of interests of those gods and figures on the zenith.

Wu Ji was not in a hurry to answer, and he held his beard slowly, as if he wanted to sort out some clues from it.

After a while of silence, he came slowly: "His Royal Highness always values ​​brotherhood, and it conflicts with Wu Hou's resolute behavior. The county prince is a person who will be demoted by Wu Hou, but the prince sent an apricot altar master. You say, Is this to suppress him, or to support him?"

After all, Wu Xu is not an elm lump who doesn't know anything. After a few words from his father, he understood the way.

Empress Wu's faction is now connected with each other and powerful in the court, so it's no wonder that the Eastern Palace Party can't sit still.

Although Li Sujie is not the brother of the crown prince's mother and compatriot, he is the pure blood of the prince Li Tang. In this world, the surname is Li after all, and he can't change his surname to be the only empress Wu.

Being able to get the support of Li Sujie, even if it is just solidarity, is enough to capture people's hearts, and it can also earn a good reputation as a brother, friend, respectful, benevolent and virtuous.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Qiren's encounter was really a three-pronged approach, which achieved twice the result with half the effort.

"I heard that there are always fierce factional disputes in Taichang Temple. Since Zhang Qiren is a member of the Donggong Party, then our Wu family..." Wu Xu thought for a moment, "If my son is lucky enough to go to Chang'an, I think he will have to rely on the crown prince's wings."

The young man is impatient and impatient, and always wants to pick a good tree to live in immediately.

Wu Ji glanced at him quietly. There was neither praise nor criticism in the eyes of the old man, only a deep pool with no bottom to see.

"No hurry." He let go of the movement in his hands and ordered in a deep voice, "You first have someone pick some top-notch ginseng and Songzhi and send them to the county prince's mansion, and our father and son will come to visit in person someday."

Wu Xu Nuonuo responded, knowing that he had behaved naively in this temporary examination, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and went to work dejectedly.

On the other side, the father and son had just left, and on the other side, the Jiang family had already planned a good show with Wu Jiu. Before two days had passed, they led people to search Wu Yi's yard in a hurry.

Wu Yi watched them rummage through boxes and chests and put on a show with cold eyes, and sat by the old Eight Immortals table by himself, showing no intention of moving a step.

The medicine bottle was originally hidden by Wu Jiu himself, so it is of course very easy to find it.

Jiang grabbed the medicine bottle, unscrewed it pretentiously, and handed it to Wu Jiu to take a look: "You are an old man in the Wu family, and you have a lot of experience. Tell me, what kind of treasure is hidden here?"

Wu Jiudeng turned pale with shock: "This...is this arsenic?"

Seeing everyone's expressions were shocked, he knocked on the ground hastily, raised his head quietly, his eyes flashed brightly: "Old slave is blind, I'm afraid it's not because he can't see right, or Madam asked someone to invite the doctor of Chunlin Hall come and see?"

Arsenic, Chunlintang.

With a slight movement of Wu Yi's fingertips, he had already figured out the purpose of Jiang's business.

It seems that his evaluation of Jiang's family is still too polite. His mother-in-law is not showing mercy, but waiting for the fall to settle the score.

Jiang shi played with the smooth and delicate medicine bottle in his hand, without even looking at Wu Jiu: "This matter is very important, please go and invite Dr. Shen from Chunlintang to come over and discuss..."

She turned her eyes, but her face became more pleasant: "I know you have always been a good-natured child, and you will never do unfilial or unrighteous things, but the so-called no rules, there are hundreds of people in our Wu family. They all looked at our mother and son, I'm going to put this matter aside today, maybe I'll find something else from that room tomorrow, this matter should not be taken lightly, and I must wrong you a little."

Wu Jiu smiled shyly at the side: "Let the old slave interject, as the saying goes, you are not afraid of the shadow, if the madam protects you today, it will be nothing to talk about..."

"Speak up!"

Before Wu Jiu finished speaking, Jiang slapped his face with a backhanded ear scraper. There was a crisp and piercing sound, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and everyone present was terrified——

"If you are told to go, you can go. You are allowed to chew your tongue about the master's affairs? It's no wonder that Yi'er dared not answer. I am the aunt and he is the concubine. I will try this matter, so naturally I cannot convince everyone." She Pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, scolding with a gun and a stick, he secretly gave Wu Jiu a look, "If you send someone to invite the master to the front hall, the matter will be decided by the master himself."

When Wu Jiu got the order, she only acted aggrieved and hated, covered her face tremblingly, and then hurried to ask for a doctor.

When the pair of masters finished singing with red faces and white faces, no one in the whole room dared to say a word, and they all held their breaths and dared not say a word.

The cool wind of early autumn swept from the moss-scarred ground to the feet, setting off a burst of coolness through the feet.

Jiang's insincere statement not only left him clean, but also set Wu Yi in a dilemma--to advance, is to set a net;

It's a good move to invite you into the urn.

Among the servants led by the Jiang family, apart from a few old ladies who love to gossip, they are also strong and rough men. It seems that they have already made sufficient preparations. Uprooted and killed in this remote yard.

But it is hard to say whether it can be born later.

At least the Jiang family certainly didn't intend to give him another way out. Even if this encounter was not a sea of ​​swords and swords, it must have been a life-and-death experience.

Seeing that he was silent for a while, Jiang Shi nodded slowly, and put all his wits back into a gentle smile: "Since Yi'er has no objection, let's go to the front hall and talk again."
