Chapter 2654 Big and small morning meeting

Wei Zhi glanced at her and ate the pill in his mouth. The taste was a little weird.

If Zhou Man hadn't brought it personally, he would have spit it out and dared not eat it.

Seeing that he had eaten, Man Bao squinted his eyes with a smile, and warned, "You should take this first. This is a five-day supply. After you have finished these two bottles of medicine, you can take the medicine prepared by the Taiyuan Hospital for you."

Wei Zhi was a little puzzled, "Don't you want to test the medicine? If it's good, don't continue this recipe?"

Man Bao took a deep look at Wei Zhi and said, "You can use it first, then I'll see the pulse to decide."

Wei Zhi felt that her gaze was different, but he didn't think about it in a bad way, and nodded in response.

Man Bao mixed the half-pipe of medicine into the pill, the amount was small, and it was meant to continuously and slowly repair people's internal organs, so he couldn't see anything in a short period of time.

Five days later, Man Bao checked Wei Zhi's pulse and then gave him a needle. When he fell asleep, he invited the old servant who was taking care of him to go out and talk, "Have you finished the two bottles of medicine that you gave to Lord Wei earlier?"

The old servant bent over and said, "There are still two pills."

Man Bao nodded, "After eating, go back to the previous one."

She took the pills out of the medicine box and gave them to him, saying, "I got them from the Tai Hospital. There should have been three days of medicine before the medicine change. After a long time, the effect of the medicine may be a little loose. Bring it to me."

The old servant responded, took the two new bottles of medicine and left, and turned around to get a medicine bottle for her.

Man Bao opened it to check the amount, nodded with him, and then went in to see Wei Zhi.

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

The old servant didn't think it was strange. It was a common thing to change medicines for medical treatment.

But Wei Zhi felt strange.

When taking medicine at night, he put the medicine in the palm of his hand and looked carefully.

Seeing that he didn't take it for a long time, Mrs. Wei stepped forward and asked softly, "What's wrong with this medicine?"

Wei Zhi smiled and said, "No, I just think the pill is not round enough, and I don't know who made it."

He paused, then put the medicine in his mouth and took it.

Mrs. Wei couldn't help but said angrily: "You, a person taking medicine, pay attention to these..."

She turned around to make the bed and said, "Go and soak your feet. I think you've slept a little better these days. Have you changed the medicine bag for your feet?"

Wei Zhi asked in surprise, "Have I slept well for the past few days?"

"Yeah, although soaking your feet was faster than before, you would always wake up at night and sleep lightly, but these days you wake up less often at night."

Wei Zhi thought about it, pinched the bottle and pondered, and decided to take the last pill tomorrow.

But when Wei Zhi woke up the next day, he pondered for a long time and still didn't take the pill, but cut a third of it, wrapped it in paper, beckoned his long attendant, handed the medicine to him and said, "You go to Feng Feng. Go to the state and ask the best doctor over there about this medicine."

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

Not only the capital, but also the doctor in Yongzhou has contact with Zhou Man. Now who doesn't know that he is Zhou Man's patient?

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

Man Bao didn't know anything about this, she was queuing up at the palace gate to enter the palace at this time.

Today's Great Court Meeting, the Great Court Meeting before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I heard that there are many more envoys from Fan states coming to pay tribute this year.

Therefore, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will have a palace banquet. I don't know if Bai Shan can participate, but Zhou Man definitely can.

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

Man Bao walked along the crowd with his head down and a thoughtful face. He was climbing the steps of the elders of the Taiji Hall. Tang He patted her on the left shoulder from behind, and she looked to the left subconsciously, but Tang He did not. Standing on her right and asking, "What do you think?"

As usual, she wouldn't be so fooled.

Man Bao came back to his senses and said, "Thinking about what clothes I should wear for the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, is it an official robe, or should I make another set that conforms to the fashion?"

Tang He said: "Official robe, it's even more eloquent."

He smiled and said, "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet will definitely not be peaceful, 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 that the envoy from Goguryeo came to Beijing to ask for peace the day before yesterday, and their fifth prince knelt outside the palace gate yesterday to ask to see His Majesty."

"No, I've only heard that His Majesty wants to go on a personal expedition. How did we win against Goguryeo?"

Tang He's face was speechless. After climbing the steps, he was just standing at the door of the hall panting. He leaned on his waist and looked left and right. When he saw that the people from the Ministry of War were not there, he said, "No, that's why His Majesty shouted that he wanted to go to the palace in person."

Man Bao: ...Well, I've shouted from the summer to now.

"Then what do they ask for?"

"Because Silla and Baekje joined forces to attack Goguryeo from the south, they were faced with enemies on three sides, but this quest for peace may not necessarily be a quest for peace." Tang He said: "They have no credibility and are fierce, so this move may be a fraudulent peace."

The emperor also thought so, so he did not want to see the envoys of Goguryeo.

Sitting on the dragon chair, he snorted coldly and said, "Gaoyi, Fuyu, and Lairen have always been cunning. They used to be deceitful at the end of the previous dynasty, so their words are not credible."

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

The subtext is, let's go and destroy his country.

Wei Zhi also thought about the salt tax reform, so he didn't want to make a big deal, 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, Xuandu County and Lelang County were originally under the rule of the Han people. If it wasn't for Gaoyi, Fuyu and Lai people who took advantage of the war and divided many Han people, there would be no Goguryeo. , not to mention that from the previous dynasty to the present, he has surrendered to us on the surface, but there are times when he pays tribute, and he has violated the borders many times. If he does not take my kingdom seriously, if he does not punish him, how can he be persuaded in the future? Many vassal states?"

The emperor nodded again and again, "Yes, Goguryeo is just a vassal state, and the land occupied now is still seized from the previous dynasty. Since I ascended the throne, they have rarely paid tribute, and have committed many crimes. Not punishing them is not enough for the common people to be angry. ."

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

Most of them agreed, and a small number of them did not speak, but those who agreed that they would continue to send troops to attack is just that, the emperor did not need to drive personally.

The emperor said 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 intend to let them participate in the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet.

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

Gu Zhong quietly intercepted Zhou Man, who was going to have morning tea after the dispersal of the court, and whispered, "Your Majesty, please come to the small court meeting together."

Man Bao was surprised, "I'm just a doctor from the Imperial Physician's Office. It is the right thing to ask Xiao Yuanzheng about the Imperial Physician's Office."

See you at 6 pm
