Chapter 22 Become a Datang Civil Servant
For several days, Xie Jiu, Wei Chi, and Sun Simiao were all taken into the palace. Xie Jiu and Sun Simiao went to give Queen Changsun injections, and Wei Chi told stories to all the princes and daughters. Xie Jiu entered the inner palace and he was in the front yard. Seeing these little kids longer than seeing His Majesty Li Er, the princes and daughters liked him so much. He didn't want to be the head of a child. No matter how many stories there were in his belly, there was one day that Wei Chi had no choice but to find a way to make a toy - checkers.
This gadget was made and attracted the attention of not only the princes and daughters, but also the ministers and even His Majesty Li Er's attention. The difficulty is not as difficult as Go and Chess, which is very suitable for children to play. It has won praise from all the ministers from top to bottom in the Tang Dynasty court, and believes it is very suitable for children to play.
Since "inventing" this thing, Wei Chi finally got rid of the nanny's embarrassment and was upgraded to a kindergarten teacher. Although his status has only improved a little bit, it is a substantial progress and it is worth celebrating it.
Wei Chi's condition was quite miserable, but Xie Jiu's treatment was getting better and better. Empress Changsun, who had been sleeping in Mian for more than half a year, had improved significantly. According to Xie Jiu's plan, her complexion became better and better, and her coughing condition was much easier. His Majesty Li Er decided to reward her heavily.
"Goodbye Dr. Wei."
After hanging the needle water, when Xie Jiu and Wei Chi left, a group of princes and daughters waved their hands to say goodbye to Wei Chi. Wei Chi smiled and shook his hands, leaving with the eunuch.
"Father!"
"Little Shizi, are you having fun?"
"Well! Dr. Wei told a lot of stories."
The little princess Jinyang threw herself into her father's arms with a smile and acted coquettishly. The court discussion in Lizheng Hall had disbanded, and only Changsun Wuji stayed and had not left yet.
He coaxed the little princess to play for a while and asked the wet nurse to take her away. In the Zheng Hall, only His Majesty Li Er, who was both a monarch and a relative, were there and Changsun Wuji.
"Wuji, what kind of person is this Wei Chi?" His Majesty Li Er stared ahead and asked. Changsun Wuji smiled slightly and said, "I don't know, I am a wonderful person."
"A wonderful man?! Yes, an interesting statement."
***************************************************
Finally, after fifteen days of continuous progress, Wei Chi was told that she could escape from the tragic kindergarten teachers. Comrade Xie Jiu, the attending physician of Empress Changsun, told him that Empress Changsun's condition had been controlled and the acupuncture could be stopped. The future problem was mainly diet therapy and maintenance, and Xie Jiu did not need to go to the palace in person.
"Finally I hope to be liberated!"
Wei Chi was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
Xie Jiu chuckled: "Don't you like children very much?"
Wei Chi smiled bitterly: "I like children, but it also depends on the child of my identity. It is a test of the strength of the heart when I can play with the child who can ask my head to play at any time."
"I thought you were happy with me."
"Please, that's the prince and the princess. Even if I want to cry in my heart, I can only smile on my face, madam."
The couple sat in the carriage entering the palace, joking about it. In ancient times, the royal family was treated with glory, but they were under great pressure, so they could not afford any mistakes.
Given that this was the last day when he entered the palace, Wei Chi showed all his enthusiasm and was very excited, and held an hour-long story meeting. One hour was the time for Empress Changsun to hang salt water, and he was truly liberated after all.
"Wei Chi, Wei Xie, my queen can recover her health. Both of you have made great contributions. I want to confer your imperial physician as an imperial physician and I will reward you with great rewards. Tell me, what do you want?"
Empress Changsun was recovering from health, and His Majesty Li Er was very happy. Wei Chi and Xie Jiu looked at each other, and Wei Chi said, "Your Majesty, we don't want to be imperial physicians, can we do it?"
“Why?”
"Your Majesty, as a doctor, saving lives and healing the wounded is our duty. It is our will to allow more people to enjoy a healthy life. Being able to serve Your Majesty is something we never dared to think about in the past. Your Majesty's love really makes us both afraid to repay Your Majesty. But we have no other ability except this kind of medical skills. Therefore, we ask Your Majesty not to entrust us to be imperial physicians, but to let us continue to stay among the people, cure more people, and continue to contribute our own strength for the health of our people in the Tang Dynasty. Please forgive Your Majesty for your kindness."
Wei Chi and Xie Jiu knelt down and asked. His Majesty Li Er was not angry, sighed and said, "Master Sun is like this, and you are like this, maybe good doctors are like this. Forget it. Since I have approved Master Sun, I cannot favor one or the other, and I have also approved you. However, I cannot give you the reward. Tell me, what do you want?"
Wei Chi said tentatively, "It's really okay?"
"As long as I can do it!"
Wei Chi calmed down and said seriously: "Caomin, please ask Your Majesty to give us husband and wife a household registration!"
"What?!"
His Majesty Li Er was also surprised and Empress Changsun.
"Your Majesty, we have been back from overseas and are still black households. We have not even lost our household registration and have been summoned to the palace by His Majesty. Please give us a household registration!"
"Haha... Wei Chi, Wei Chi, what do you mean by me? I am a wonderful person!"
His Majesty Li Er was in a good mood and raised his head and laughed heroically, saying, "Wishi Chi heard that I would like to be the doctor of Shang Pharmacy Bureau, the doctor of the Imperial Doctor, the Chengyi Lang, and the silver fish bag..."
His Majesty Li Er said something, but Wei Chi didn't understand it. He only knew that he would be a civil servant from today. In addition to being an imperial edict, his wife Xie Jiu was also named a doctor of imperial physician like him.
The couple looked at each other and blinked at each other. After a while, they remembered to thank him. After thanking him, Wei Chi endured him and asked weakly: "Your Majesty, can Caomin ask a question?"
"Yes, but you should call yourself a minister, not a sage."
"Yes, I am... I am just trying to ask, the emperor has granted me an official position, so should I go to the morning court and participate in the court discussion?"
As soon as Wei Chi asked, he laughed in the Lizheng Hall. Meow, these people are all senior intellectuals of the Tang Dynasty, how can they discriminate against semi-illiterate? As a foreign population, it is understandable that he doesn't understand!
It was still Mr. Fang Xuanling who was kind-hearted and answered Wei Chi's question: "Doctor Wei, no, you should call you Master Wei. The emperor has granted you a position as a scattered position, so you don't need to go to the morning court to Ying Mao."
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Xuanling is right. You don't need to go to the morning court. You just need to come over when I summon you into the palace."
"Your Majesty is wise! I have another question!"
"Tell me."
"Weichen wants to ask, what kind of job does Weichen's official position do?"
Another burst of laughter broke out, and His Majesty Li Er touched his beard and said, "Your official position is equivalent to my imperial physician!"
