"Official, what do you think? If you are still feeling uncomfortable, please take a leave and go back."

Liu Xiaoyi led the horse and said to Xu Ping, who was frowning at the horse.

Xu Ping shook his head: "It's just that one tooth is not well-developed and there is a little abscess in his mouth, it's not a problem."

As soon as he came out of Chongzheng Hall yesterday, Xu Ping felt a severe toothache, so he didn't go to Sansi and went home directly. Unexpectedly, it became more and more swollen at night, and he was so confused that he couldn't sleep well. He woke up early this morning and washed his face with clean water. He still felt his head buzzing and his thoughts were in a mess.

Xu Ping knew that he was a little sick this time, so he asked his two entourages to go directly to the Sansi Yamen. When he came back to report something, he told him that he would not be able to go to the Yamen these days.

Xu Ping occasionally had the problem of swollen and painful gums in his previous life. He usually took a few tablets of anti-inflammatory drugs and took a few days to resist. He did not think it was a serious disease. According to his habits in his previous life, he also thought so this time. He thought that he was a little careless a few days ago. When he went back today, he would ask some bitter melon, bitter chrysanthemum and other dishes to clear heat and remove heat. The left and right was just an inflammation of the mouth, so it would be fine if the inflammation was eliminated.

After crossing Zhouqiao and onto Yu Street, more officials went to court. It was dark and I couldn't see clearly. I just rely on a lantern with the words "identity" in front of the horse. Everyone tried to avoid saying hello to avoid causing chaos.

After passing the Kaifeng Mansion, a gust of wind blew towards him. Xu Ping raised his head and let the wind rush on his face, so that his confused mind would be clearer. When the wind blew over, Xu Ping lowered his head and felt his eyes turn black and his ears roar. Suddenly, he didn't know the situation and fell down.

Liu Xiaoyi, who was leading the horse in front, heard the movement, turned around and saw Xu Ping falling from the horse, lying on the ground without moving, and was so scared that he was so scared that he threw away the reins in his hand. Liu Xiaoyi rushed forward to support Xu Ping and shouted: "Monkey King, what's wrong? Don't scare Xiao!"

The horse was frightened, Herodor lifted his front hooves and ran to the side, rushing to another group of people coming to court.

Liu Xiaoyi squatted on the ground and supported Xu Ping. He looked around. In the dark night, he saw lanterns floating on the street like ghost fires. He was anxious and afraid, and tears were about to flow out.

The man who was hit by the shocked horse raised a lantern, walked over slowly, and asked in a deep voice: "Is it Xu Waijian's mansion?"

When Liu Xiaoyi saw the person who came with the character "Fan" on the lantern, and Fan Zhongyan, who was the same level as his master, hurriedly replied: "Return to Fan Waijian, the young Liu Xiaoyi is Xu Waijian's companion."

Fan Zhongyan walked up with his entourage and saw Xu Ping's head resting on Liu Xiaoyi's legs, his eyes closed, and his face was not bloody under the lantern, which was really scary.

Walking forward quickly, Fan Zhongyan asked, "I recognize you, I always stay with Xu Waizhi. What's wrong with Xu Waizhi? How could he faint here halfway?"

Liu Xiaoyi said in a crying voice: "My county marquis has been feeling uncomfortable these days because of the teeth in his mouth recently. He became more and more powerful last night and could not fall asleep for a night. This morning, he forced himself to get up and go to court. When he walked here, the little one was holding a horse in front. When he heard the movement, the county marquis fell off the horse and fainted on the ground-"

Seeing that Liu Xiaoyi was so anxious that he cried, Fan Zhongyan comforted him: "Don't be anxious. Since Xu Kaiyi just fainted, I think it's okay. Please stay here, I'll go find a doctor with medical skills to take a look."

Fan Zhongyan's words were just to comfort Liu Xiaoyi and asked him to take care of Xu Ping first. He fainted for no reason and fell off the horse. He must be very sick. He stood up and was about to instruct his followers to find a doctor, but at this time, how could the clinic be opened? He was thinking whether he would go directly to the palace and find an imperial physician to come out and take a look.

At this moment, several people flashed from the black influence and saluted Fan Zhongyan: "I have seen Fan Waijian."

Fan Zhongyan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Wang Zhu, you have always been proficient in medical skills. Come and have a look! Xu Wai-chi suddenly fell off his horse and fainted on the ground. What's going on?"

The people came were Wang Zhu and Ouyang Xiu and several young pavilions. After hearing this, Wang Zhu quickly walked up first and followed Fan Zhongyan to the place where Xu Ping fell.

Wang Zhu squatted down, grabbed Xu Ping's wrist and diagnosed the pulse for a while, raised his head and said to Liu Xiaoyi and Fan Zhongyan: "Fortunately, although Xu Waijian's pulse is a bit messy and has enough strength, it will not be a serious problem."

Fan Zhongyan and others breathed a sigh of relief. Although they sometimes had disagreements with Xu Ping's political views and were not very close to each other, they were all business and there was no resentment in private. Xu Ping was clear about his work, both in terms of political reputation and personal reputation, and they were all excellent among the officials at this time, and they were also respectful.

Hu Su said: "I heard that Xu Waijian went out to patrol the river and only came back in the past two days. Along the way, his deputy Wang Yan was vomiting with him. Xu Waijian did a lot of things. Could it be that he was exhausted and could not support him for a while?"

Wang Zhu nodded: "From the pulse, this is really possible. Come on, Uncle Yong and Wu Ping, you two help the young man to support Xu Waijian. I pinch him and see if Zheng can wake up."

Ouyang Xiu and Hu Su walked forward and helped Liu Xiaoyi support Xu Ping, allowing Wang Zhukong to take action.

Wang Zhu took a deep breath, held Xu Ping's chin with both hands, pressed his two thumbs against him, secretly luck and used force on his hands. He was a medical Fang family, and his strength was very good.

After a while, Xu Ping suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled heavily, and looked around blankly.

Fan Zhongyan and others breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, I'm just waking up!"

It was the early morning of summer, and the cool breeze on the Bian River blew on Xu Ping's face, like a clear spring.

Xu Ping shook his head suddenly, and his consciousness came back a little. Seeing so many people around him, he hurriedly said, "Fan Wai-chan, and Uncle Yong, why are you all here? - Hey, why am I sitting on the ground?"

Fan Zhongyan said: "Xu Wai-chi, you fell off the horse just now, but you scared your companion half to death. I happened to pass by here, and Wang Zhu and others were there. He was a medical expert, so he woke you up."

"Thank you--" Xu Ping's mind was still a little confused and couldn't even hold his hands up.

Everyone hurriedly stopped him. At this moment, a crisp bell rang in front of Xuande Gate. As soon as the bell rang, it marked the dawn of dawn. The towers in Kaifeng City from all directions would quickly spread the sound throughout the city.

Xu Ping was shocked: "Oh, it's too late to go to court!"

Fan Zhongyan pressed Xu Ping's shoulder and said, "Yunxing, how can you go to court in this way? Go back home quickly and rest first. It's dawn to look for the imperial physician. Let's put business aside for the time being!"

Xu Ping's mind was not completely awake, and he looked at Fan Zhongyan with a little confused.

Fan Zhongyan shook his head and saw a lantern with the word "Song" hurriedly moving forward, and hurriedly got up and shouted: "Sing Sijian, stop for a while, Fan Zhongyan has something to discuss with you!"

The lantern stopped, took a photo toward this side, and walked up slowly.

Song Xiang turned out from the shadow of the lantern, saw Fan Zhongyan and Xu Ping, and hurried forward to salute. He bowed and said, "I don't know what instructions do you have?"

Fan Zhongyan pointed to Xu Ping and said, "Song Sijian, Xu Waijian fell off his horse just now and fainted. I happened to pass by here. Fortunately, Wang Zhu was good at medical skills and woke Xu Waijian up."

Song Xiang hurriedly bowed to Xu Ping: "Xu Waijing is seriously ill, why are he going to court?"

Xu Ping looked at him blankly, but he was still confused, and he didn't know how to answer. He didn't feel sick, but he felt a little uncomfortable with inflammation. He had never asked for leave in his previous life for such a minor illness.

Fan Zhongyan looked at Xu Ping's appearance, pulled Song Xiang aside, and whispered: "Recently, Xu Waijian and Wang Yan, deputy envoy of the Ministry of Revenue, went out to patrol the river together. He was very angry on the road, and he was burdened with heavy burdens and did a lot of things. I think he was exhausted and could not hold on. He forced himself to go to court and didn't want to fall off the horse."

Song Xiang nodded. This was something that was discussed in the court recently. He was in charge of the Censorate and knew more about this kind of rumors than anyone else. He heard more in his ears than Fan Zhongyan heard.

After thinking about it, Song Xiang asked Fan Zhongyan: "I don't know what instructions did Fan Waijing ask for?

Fan Zhongyan said, "I heard the bell ringing just now. Xu Wai-chi is going to court. He is like this, he should go home to have a good rest, and he has temporarily put down his business. I am worried that after Xu Wai-chi will still not be able to let go of the affairs in the yamen after he goes back, so he will have to wait and hold on. Why not do this? Let us serve as a security guard and let Xu Wai-chi look for a doctor and cultivate well."

Song Xiang turned to look at Xu Ping, thought for a while, and nodded: "Okay, just follow Fan Waijing's orders!"

There is no real long-term sick leave in this era, and it is still casual leave, so the name of taking leave for serious illness is "seeking medical treatment" leave. This leave is taken for a hundred days. If the condition does not improve significantly when it expires, it can be continued for another hundred days. This way. Of course, it is not easy to ask for such a long leave. Two people with the same official positions must be guaranteed. After the memorial is submitted together, the court can approve it. Because officials often use this fake to avoid laziness, and even officials use this fake to avoid the court's review, this fake is strictly controlled and cannot be invited at any time.

Seriously speaking, Fan Zhongyan was a member of the Tianzhang Pavilion and was sentenced to the Imperial College, but Song Xiang, who was in charge of the Censorate, was not enough. But the person who asked for leave was Xu Ping. The emperor saw the weight in his eyes. The prime minister wanted to sell face in such a thing, and no one dared to care about this. For Song Xiang, using this opportunity to get in touch with Xu Ping was exactly what he wanted.

After discussion, the two walked to Xu Ping, and Fan Zhongyan explained his meaning to Xu Ping.

Xu Ping said confusedly: "Am I that sick?"

Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xu Wai-chi, you fell off the horse just now, and the people around you were scared! You can relax first, just go home to recuperate. Song Sijian and I will naturally report to the court for the medical treatment."
