When Zhu Bao came out of the back garden, he realized that his whole body had been soaked with sweat for more than an hour!
His legs were as if they were filled with lead, and they were soft when he walked. He didn't walk more than ten steps before he was leaning on the wall. He just felt chest tightness and shortness of breath!
His wife quickly sat him down on the bench in the verandah and said with a distressed look on her face, "What's the trouble! The worst we can do is go back to Beijing and stop being an official. Let's go home and eat the hard-core crops!"
"Why do dignified bannermen work as hard as the Han people to become officials and make money? Besides, you should kowtow to your aunt, but you should also kneel down at the feet of these two Xanglangs? Isn't it a shame?"
"What are you planning on? What did you say you were planning on..."
Zhu Bao listened to his wife's low-pitched complaints and waved his hands and shook his head, "Keep your voice down, don't let the people in the back garden hear it... What do you, a woman, know? The current situation is too bad, you have to be careful!"
What Zhu Bao is worried about is actually an inner demon that all officials in the Qing Dynasty are afraid of. Which of these feudal officials does not turn their attention to the capital, and which one does not stare at the struggle in the capital!
Chinese people always like Mingjun and upright officials. This is a psychological plot of the people, but do bureaucrats also think so? the answer is negative!
Officials do not want a pure emperor, nor do they need an honest chief, because then their life will not be easy!
What they want is an emperor who is a little confused and mediocre. It is best to be merciful and soft-hearted, so that he can be easily served and can live his life easily!
But when Emperor Tongzhi returned to Beijing, these secretly observing bureaucratic groups suddenly realized that something was wrong with the limelight. The little emperor Zai Chun was actually so powerful!
On the first day after returning to Beijing, he launched the coup to seize the door. In less than half a year, an airship incident occurred. Guiziliu was so powerful that he was forced to claim illness and recuperate!
What's even more frightening is that the officials discovered that Emperor Tongzhi was not alone. He was not a king who could not survive without your bureaucracy!
Behind Zai Chun are not only the Chinese and British, but also countless capitalists who secretly support him!
Of course, the Qing Dynasty was very large, and its huge territory made some officials in remote places very slow to react. They didn't know how powerful this scene was in the capital. Even some officials in the northwest and southwest didn't know what was happening in the capital!
But Zhu Bao is different. This guy is a banner official. He grew up in Sijiu City, and his official position is along the well-informed Grand Canal!
His family and friends in the capital send him the latest news anytime and anywhere. He is not unaware of all the changes in the capital!
Zhu Bao was really scared. He knew that Emperor Tongzhi would definitely be a more terrifying emperor than Emperor Yongzheng after he came to power, and such young and energetic people were the most difficult to deal with!
He will definitely kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and judging from the way he killed the Eight Banners soldiers in the capital before, it can be imagined that he is very cruel, and he will not show mercy even to the bannermen of the same clan!
He had embezzled millions. If his opponent was impeached, would Zai Chun be able to let him go if he knew about it?
Zai Chun can use the official position of his uncle Guiziliu to intimidate the empire. Naturally, he will not feel sorry for the little head of a fourth-grade prefect. When the time comes, he will kill you without mercy regardless of whether he is a bannerman or not!
She, a stupid wife, has not understood the seriousness of the matter until now. She thought it was during the Xianfeng and Daoguang years? This is the Tongzhi Dynasty, this is the New Dynasty, this is a cold-faced king brought up by that evil ghost Xiao Letian!
If you don't go out of your way to find a backer in advance, do you want to make ends meet?
"Let's go... Is Mr. Huang still in the guest room? Have you slept? I'll go have a chat with him..."
Mr. Huang is the old man specially invited by Zhu Bao from Jinan Prefecture. He is already over eighty years old, and his beard and eyebrows are all white!
He is also a well-known miracle doctor in Jinan Mansion. I don’t know how he maintains himself. At this age, he is neither blind nor deaf, and his waist is still straight and energetic!
It was so late, Zhu Bao thought that the old man was asleep, but he didn't expect that the lights in the guest room were still on. He wanted to knock on the door but retracted his hand. But at this time, the old man's clear voice came from the room!
"Bless me, sir! I know you are coming, please come in. The door is not closed..."
Zhu Bao opened the door and saw that Doctor Huang was not sleeping, but sitting cross-legged and meditating beside the bed. When he saw him coming in, he slowly lowered his legs.
"Oh... Doctor Huang, you are really a god. Can you just meditate without sleeping?"
"Sir, I don't understand. Meditation is a better way to rest than sleeping... If you can enter samadhi, a quarter of an hour's rest is enough to exceed three hours of deep sleep!"
"Since I turned fifty, I haven't been on the bed very much. I rely on meditating to become trance instead of sleeping... Huh? Why do you look so bad, sir? Let me take your pulse..."
The two of them walked beside the Eight Immortals table, and then the light of the candle began to feel the pulse. It took a long time for the doctor Huang to sigh, "Hey... Sir, this official is doing this, why are you so worried and troubled? You are still a little frightened. …”
"The official world is ups and downs. You have to relax a little and be more open-minded...drink some styrax wine, and I will prescribe some decoction to replenish it!"
"Thank you, thank you, old fairy... I'm bothering you so late. Actually, I mainly want to thank you, old fairy, for diagnosing my aunt. Just now, my aunt said that the medical treatment you mentioned is very symptomatic..."
"If your potion works tomorrow morning, the Head of State's wife hopes that you can accompany her to the south..."
Doctor Huang waved his hand, "Haha... You're too polite, you're too polite... There is no need to say thank you, sir. In fact, even if you don't know why I'm here, I should come and see the president's wife when she is passing by!"
"Oh? Is there a connection between Divine Doctor Huang and the head of state?"
"How do I have a connection... My youngest brother has a son, who is my little nephew. I educated him since he was a child and also taught him some medical skills!"
"The head of state is kind to my nephew, I have to remember this favor..."
"Your nephew... studies medicine... Doctor Huang... Oops..." Zhu Bao slapped his forehead, "Could it be that you and Doctor Huang are... are... the same family!"
The old man smiled, "We are from the same family, but we haven't seen each other for a long time. In my later years, I devoted myself to cultivating Taoism and the relationship with the secular world has faded away!"
Zhu Bao didn't expect that Jinan Mansion was so hidden, so why should he be worried when he heard that this was Dr. Huang's elder?
"Old fairy, you have diagnosed my aunt's illness. Why is my aunt so unhappy?"
Doctor Huang pondered for a moment, "After taking my pulse, I asked the maid next to my wife how her diet was... It didn't sound like anything serious to me!"
"But I don't know what happened. Madam has extremely severe palace cold! It's like a thousand-year-old iceberg stuck in her abdominal cavity!"
"If such a mountain does not melt, she may not be able to conceive for the rest of her life!"
ah! When Zhu Bao heard that his legs went weak, he slipped off the chair and knelt down in front of Divine Doctor Huang, "Old fairy! This aunt is the hope and supporter of my whole family!"
"Please ask the gods for mercy and think of a solution!"
