Wei Zhi glanced at her, put the pill into his mouth and ate it. The taste was a little weird.

If Zhou Man hadn't brought this thing himself, he would have spit it out and wouldn't dare eat it.

When Man Bao saw him eating, he smiled and narrowed his eyes, and warned: "Take this first, it is a five-day supply. After you have finished these two bottles of medicine, you can take the medicine given to you by the hospital."

Wei Zhi was a little confused, "Aren't we going to test the medicine? If it's good, why don't we continue this recipe?"

Man Bao took a deep look at Wei Zhi and said, "You can use it first, and I will make a decision based on the pulse."

Wei Zhi felt that her look was strange, but he didn't think anything bad about it and nodded in agreement.

Manbao mixed half a tube of the medicine into the pill. The amount was small. In addition, it continuously repaired people's internal organs slowly, so nothing could be seen in a short time.

Five days later, Man Bao checked Wei Zhi's pulse and gave him an acupuncture. When he fell asleep, he called the old servant who took care of him to go out and talk, "Have you finished the two bottles of medicine that you gave Mr. Wei earlier?"

The old servant bent down and said, "There are two more pills."

Man Bao nodded, "After eating, change back to the previous taste."

She took the pills out of the medicine box and gave them to him, saying: "I took them from the Tai Hospital. There should be three days of medicine left before changing the dressing. After a long time, the effect of the medicine may be lost. You will

Bring it to me."

The old servant agreed, took the two newly obtained bottles of medicine and left, then turned around to get a medicine bottle for her.

Man Bao opened it, checked the quantity, nodded to him, and then went in to see Wei Zhi.

Except for her and Bai Shan, Wei Zhi's master and servant, no one knew that Wei Zhi had ever changed medicine.

The old servant doesn't think this is strange. When treating a disease, it is common to change the dressing.

But Wei Zhi found it strange.

When taking medicine at night, he would put it in his hand and look at it carefully.

Seeing that he was still refusing to take it, Mrs. Wei stepped forward and asked softly: "Is there something wrong with this medicine?"

Wei Zhi smiled slightly after hearing this and said: "No, I just feel that the pill is not round enough, and I don't know who rubbed it."

He paused for a moment, then put the medicine into his mouth and drank it.

Mrs. Wei couldn't help but said angrily: "You are a person who takes medicine, but you still pay attention to these things..."

She turned around to make the bed and said, "Go and soak your feet quickly. I see that you have slept better these days. Has the medicine package for foot soaking been changed again?"

Wei Zhi asked in surprise: "Have I slept well these days?"

"Yes, although I fell asleep faster after soaking my feet before, I would always wake up at night and feel lighter. But these days, you wake up less often at night."

Wei Zhi became thoughtful, held the medicine bottle and pondered, and decided to take the last pill tomorrow.

But when Wei Zhi got up the next day, he thought for a long time and still did not take the pill. Instead, he cut off a third of it, wrapped it in paper, called his attendant, handed the pill to him and said: "You go to Feng

Go to the state and ask the best doctor there about this medicine."

Chang Sui was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't understand why he ran to Fengzhou instead of looking for a doctor in the capital, he still took it respectfully and bowed back.

Not only the doctors in the capital but also in Yongzhou are also related to Zhou Man. Who doesn’t know that he is Zhou Man’s patient now?

In order not to cause trouble for each other, let's go to Fengzhou.

Man Bao knew nothing about this. She was queuing up at the palace gate to enter.

Today is the great court meeting before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard that many envoys from foreign countries are coming to pay tribute this year.

Therefore, there will be a palace banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. I don’t know if Bai Shan can attend, but Zhou Man will definitely be able to attend.

So she was thinking deeply, should she wear a nice dress or an official uniform that night?

Man Bao walked along the crowd with her head lowered and a thoughtful look on her face. She was climbing the long steps of Tai Chi Hall when Tang He patted her left shoulder from behind. She subconsciously looked to the left, but Tang He

Standing on her right side, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Normally, she wouldn't have been fooled like this.

Man Bao came back to his senses and said: "I am thinking about what clothes I should wear for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Is it an official robe, or should I make another one that conforms to the fashion?"

Tang He said: "Official robes will make you more eloquent."

He smiled and said: "This year's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet will definitely be uneasy, so you'd better bring Bai Shan with you. Officials attending can bring their families."

When Man Bao heard this, he immediately asked: "Why are you not calm?"

"Don't you know, the envoys from Goguryeo came to Beijing to sue for peace the day before yesterday, and their fifth prince knelt outside the palace gate yesterday to beg to see His Majesty."

"No, I only heard that His Majesty wanted to conquer Goguryeo himself. How come we defeated Goguryeo?"

Tang He looked speechless. After climbing the steps, he happened to stand at the door of the main hall to catch his breath. He held his waist and looked around. When he saw that no one from the Ministry of War was there, he said: "No, that's why His Majesty asked for the imperial commander to march in person."

Man Bao: ...Well, I started shouting now when I was escaping from the summer heat.

"Then what peace do they seek?"

"Because Silla and Baekje united to attack Goguryeo from the south, they were attacked on three sides, but this request for peace may not necessarily be a peace request." Tang He said: "They have no credibility and are fierce, so this move may be a fraud."

The emperor thought so too, so he was unwilling to meet the Goguryeo envoy.

He sat on the dragon chair and snorted coldly: "The people of Gaoyi, Fuyu and Qian have always been cunning. They once cheated on peace during the last emperor of the previous dynasty, so their words cannot be trusted."

The emperor's ambition was ignited again. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying: "Taking advantage of this opportunity between Silla and Baekje to attack, it would be better for me to go on a personal expedition and take back the land occupied by Goguryeo."

The subtext is, let's destroy his country.

Wei Zhi was still thinking about the salt tax reform, so he did not want to go to war, so he went out to express his opposition.

The emperor was angry and looked at Zhao Guogong and others, "What do Zhao Qing and others think?"

Zhao Guogong expressed his support and said solemnly: "During the Han Dynasty, Xuantu County and Lelang County were originally ruled by our Han people. If it weren't for the Gaoyi, Fuyu and Qian people who took advantage of the war to divide many Han people, there would be no Goguryeo.

, not to mention that from the previous dynasty to the present, he has openly surrendered to us, but the annual tribute is infrequent, and he has violated borders many times. In this way, he does not take our country seriously. If he is not punished, how can he persuade us in the future?

Many vassal states?”

The emperor nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Goguryeo is just a vassal state. The land it currently occupies is still snatched from the hands of the previous dynasty. Since I came to the throne, they have rarely paid tribute and have violated the border many times. If they are not punished, the people will not be angry.

."

He stared at the ministers below with sharp eyes, "What do you think?"

Most of them expressed their agreement, and a small number were silent. However, those who agreed believed that continuing to send troops to attack meant that there was no need for the emperor to personally drive and conquer.

The emperor said that he wanted to boost morale.

There is no solution to this matter for the time being, but the emperor still does not want to see the Goguryeo people, so he does not plan to let them participate in the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Wei Zhi didn't have much objection to this, and a dozen ministers who had something to report moved to the imperial study room to continue the discussion.

Gu Zhong quietly stopped Zhou Man, who was going to have morning tea after the court, and whispered: "Your Majesty, please go to the small court meeting with you."
