Chapter 446 Difficulties
Zuo Shaoyang said:...Thank you for your reminder. From the first day of becoming an official, I have told myself that I am just a medical officer, just an official who treats diseases and saves people, not an official who fights for power and profit. What I want to do is just treat diseases and save people. I think that as long as I grasp this direction, I should not fall into the struggles in the officialdom."
"Okay!" Xiao Yunfei praised. "It's best if you can understand it in your heart. I think that as long as you have a normal heart, it is still easy to be a medical officer, and you can be very happy."
"That's exactly what I said. But thank you for reminding me, I will pay more attention in the future."
"Then you shouldn't treat him, right?" Zuo Yanyang was stunned: "Why?"
"Uh..., it's always bad to get too close to them."
"In my eyes, there are only patients. "Whoever comes to see me for treatment" I can treat it." Xiao Yunfei looked at him happily, bit his mouth gently, and whispered: "I won't say it anymore." Let's go down first!" After that, he reached out and grabbed his arm, and flew off the cliff lightly.
Zuo Shaoyang stood on the ground, looked back at the cliff just now. Although he had said he could grasp the direction just now, "many things are indeed involuntarily. Whether he can finally grasp the direction must be seen."
Peng Bing Mansion.
Peng Bing's waist was like a cooked shrimp, and his violent cough and continuous asthma almost made him unable to breathe.
The craftsman in charge of the construction of Zuo Shaoyang Pharmaceutical Shop in the Ministry of Works has been here for a long time and has no chance to speak because Peng Bing's asthma and cough cannot be suppressed at all.
Two imperial physicians stood beside him, crying and unable to do anything. Peng Bing's personal daughter kept stroking his chest so that he could feel better.
Finally, "Peng Bing's cough stopped a little, and he lay on the table with one hand, as if it might be extinguished at any time like a swaying wind candle. He gasped for a while before waved his hands to let the two imperial physicians retreat. He rolled his eyes with his big eyes and looked at the craftsman.
The craftsman hurriedly said a long story short and bowed and said, "Report to Master Zuo, Lord Zuo's medicine garden preparation work has been completed, the demolition agreement has been signed, and a total of uā fees are required."
"Cough cough cough..." Another violent cough that could not be suppressed interrupted the craftsman's words.
The craftsman had to bow and wait.
Peng Bing seemed to be impatient, and kept coughing violently, saying intermittently: "No matter how much money..." Cough cough cough cough..." It's OK, "Hurry up" and do it quickly...!"
"Yes!" the craftsman agreed repeatedly. "The little one has organized the craftsmen to construct overnight and is expected to be completed within one month."
"Quick! Just hurry up! Lord Yizuo..." Are you back? Cough cough cough"
The private girl hurriedly whispered, "It's not yet." She said she might not arrive in the afternoon." "As soon as he came..." Immediately, cough cough......, let him come to see me, cough cough...." "Yes!" The private girl agreed repeatedly.
Peng Bing waved his hand, and the craftsman hurriedly bowed and retreated.
After a while, the gatekeeper came in quickly and bowed to report: "Report to the old master, Eunuch Luo came to Xuan Emperor's verbal order!" Peng Bing quickly stood up with a cough and walked to the door with difficulty with the help of his private daughter." At this time, a eunuch walked over with several large private guards. The eunuch's surname was Luo, and he was the personal eunuch beside Emperor Li Shimin.
When Peng Bing saw him, his heart suddenly became cold. He was afraid that it was because of the emperor who had issued an order to ask him to retire after he was sick?
The more nervous he was, the more intense the cough and asthma were. He was like a bellows, and he was holding a series of uncontrollable coughs.
Eunuch Luo didn't look at him, "I stepped into the lobby and stood there: "The Emperor ordered" Peng Bing, a corpse of the Ministry of Personnel, immediately met with him!"
Although it was not announced on the spot that he would retire after he was sick, when he was going to see the emperor, "it must be the emperor to check his condition. Now that he is like this, the emperor will announce that he would retire on the spot. After hearing the sacred edict, Peng Bing said, "it was like five thunders thunder, staying on the spot." But the violent cough could not be suppressed and gushed out in a series.
Eunuch Luo and Peng Bing were very familiar with each other. Seeing him like this, he not only felt sorry for him, but after reading the emperor's edict, he came over to look at him. "When he stopped coughing, he said, "Mr. Peng, you are sick..."
Peng Bingcough panted and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Luo, can you report to the emperor? The emperor summoned Beizhi to the palace at this time." Why?
"This is not a lice on the bald man's head, it's obvious!" Eunuch Luo sighed and said, "We are not outsiders anymore. We will give you the bottom line. Lord Peng, the emperor, you will come to the palace to see what your illness is. You have been sick for many years and have reached the age of retirement. If your condition has not improved, the emperor will ask you to sue for illness and retire. The candidates for this substitute are already ready!"
"Yes, who is it?" Peng Bing asked even more.
"Lang Chai Baichuan, the Ministry of Justice."
Peng Bingxin was shocked. Chai Baichuan was the deputy of Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of Justice, and his confidant. He was used to replace him. In fact, he was the one who planted Liu Zhenghui of the Ministry of Justice in Du Yan's Ministry of Personnel. Although Liu Zhenghui and Du Yan were not enemies, they were competitors. They were both powerful figures in the Chaoqiu and were also powerful ministers who were highly valued by Emperor Li Shimin.
But I don’t know if this arrangement was Li Shimin’s idea or Liu Zhenghui’s idea. No matter what, it was a disaster for him Peng Bing. If this is the case, it would mean the end of his political life.
Peng Bing coughed while his head was rotating rapidly. At the moment, he had to fight to the death. He said with a cough and panting: ", father-in-law, please wait for a moment, cough and cough, Bei Zhi has recently got an interesting thing, so that his father-in-law can appreciate it. Cough and cough and cough...", Eunuch Luo naturally knew that Peng Bing still wanted to appreciate the treasures in this way, which naturally had a deep meaning, and did not point it out. He smiled and said: "Okay, our family is lucky to see the treasures collected by the adults." It's easy to open your eyes."
Peng Binggong bowed and whispered a few words to a private girl beside him. The private girl Fuli agreed, "and walked quickly to the back hall.
Eunuch Luo sat down and intentionally or unintentionally said that after the emperor ascended the throne, the matter of replacing ministers was replaced. Many of his ministers were sick for a long time and were unable to perform their duties and were ordered to retire by the emperor. This further added to Peng Bingxin's panic. "I tried hard to suppress my asthma and cough, but the more anxious I was, the more I could not suppress it." Later, I almost collapsed on the spot.
Finally, a young man came out of the back hall. He was plump in his body, holding a towering black cloud bun, with a phoenix crown with winged jade pieces on his head, and several combs on his right forehead, a green narrow-sleeved short jacket with jade-white dark gauze lined with jade-white gauze dress, and a shawl with golden silk and thin smoke on his shoulders, like a rainbow hanging on his body, underneath, a golden mandarin duck-full skirt with a crimson skirt, "the cuffs are embroidered with golden flying phoenix patterns" and a ribbon tied with his waist, but he was very fat when he was old, and it looked a bit like a gorgeous dress covering a water tank.
This plump man was Peng Bing's wife. He came out with a black painted gold-painted brocade box in his hand. When he saw Eunuch Luo, he grinned and heard her husband coughing and gasping violently. He quickly lowered his smile, walked over and placed the box on the table. He opened it with a click.
A golden glow suddenly illuminated an old face full of wrinkles next to Eunuch Luo. "Eunuch Luo's eyes were full of surprise at the golden thing in the box, but it was a statue of Buddha made of pure gold!
The Buddha statue is very exquisite and lifelike. Even the wrinkles on the Zen clothes on his body are meticulous. Just this big lump of gold is valuable, let alone the shaping process, which makes the gold worth several times more.
Eunuch Luo reached out and carefully picked up the golden Buddha from the box, rubbed it, his turbid eyes full of love, as if he was stroking his newborn son.
This eunuch is not humane, he has no interest in women, and he cannot be an official, so he loves things that like white things more than ordinary people. When he sees this golden Buddha, he really can't put it down and is extremely happy.
Peng Bingcough panted, "If my father-in-law likes this, how about giving this thing to my father-in-law? Coughcoughcough..."
Eunuch Luo naturally knew the reason why people were short and people were soft-hearted. He smiled and shook his head: "Sir, we can't want this thing."
Peng Bing used to deliver things to this Eunuch Luo, but he never refused. Now, he actually refused this time and felt even more heartbroken. When he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a violent cough.
Mrs. Peng hurriedly smiled and said, "Eunuch Luo, this is our master's wish. The master's illness has made me worry a little bit more. I just thank you. You said just now that we are not outsiders, so we don't need to be polite."
Eunuch Luo shook his head and said, "It's not our polite family. The so-called "no merit and no reward" means Lord Peng's reward. Our family knows in their hearts that we want our family to speak a few words in front of the emperor and let the emperor dismiss the idea of ordering Lord Peng to retire after he is sick. To be honest, our family cannot do this. The emperor is not as good as Emperor Gaozu. He is an adviser and does not allow people around him to discuss the affairs of the court." So, our family only has a jealous position, but he dare not accept it." Peng Bingcuck and panting, "I dare not expect Eunuch Luo to help the emperor dismiss this idea. I also know that with my current body, it is really difficult to be a sanctioned person in the Ministry of Personnel."
Eunuch Luo said in a strange way: "Since it is not the intention, I don't know what the adults want our family to do?"
"I just want the emperor to give him three more days, and after three days, I will go to see the saint again."
Eunuch Luo's face widened and he smiled and said, "It's three days delayed? Why is this? Could it be that the adults can cure your illness in these three days? Our family can remind you that the emperor is wise and decisive. Unless the adults recover, otherwise, "I'm afraid that the adults will have to retire due to illness this time, so don't be lucky." Going around and making the emperor angry, it would be bad!"
"Don't worry, please let me worry. If you want to delay the emperor's idea for the emperor to delay the disease by three days."
