After the lecture, Li Leling returned to the palace to write an account of today's inspection of the Imperial Medical Office.
Li Ang and Qiu Feng went to visit Ouyang Shi, a female student who had taken two days of sick leave.
The two of them walked out of the Imperial Medical Office, the cold wind was blowing coldly.
Qiu Feng shrank his neck, pulled up his collar, and asked casually, "Are you a little indifferent to the princess today?"
"Have it?"
"have."
Qiu Feng raised a finger from his sleeve and shook it, "In the past, you wouldn't have explained so much in a cold tone."
"Um..."
Li Ang squinted his eyes and recalled, "Maybe it's because you have been worrying about more things recently, right?"
The higher the status, the greater the power, and the more things you can see,
Li Ang became...more pessimistic.
There are so many tragedies and misfortunes in this world, such as what happened to Gan Xiaoer's family in Shatao Village, Zhenzhou, there are simply too many to mention.
Officials and businessmen colluded to rob, clans and families abused family laws to lynching, petty officials exploited the people, workshop owners exploited workers, and hired child labor...
One after another, Li Ang often had the urge to pull out his sword and kill him until the vast white land was really clean.
Scholars, scholars are unreliable.
"There are tens of millions of mansions in Anhui, and the great shelter will make all the poor people in the world happy."
"Talk and laugh with ru, no contacts STOMATOLOGY."
The imperial examination system that lasted for hundreds of years made scholars and common people into two insurmountable classes. Most scholars subconsciously do not see anything wrong with despising the common people. He believed that the human rights of scholars were higher than the human rights of common people.
Even the doctors and students in the academy regard the common people as objects that need to be protected.
It is believed that the common people lack the ability to think and need the command and guidance of the academy.
All things made Li Ang feel that he was incompatible with this world.
"Stop frowning and have some roasted chestnuts."
Qiu Feng smiled and patted Li Ang's shoulder, took out the coins from his sachet, and bought two portions of roasted chestnuts wrapped in oil paper at a roadside stall.
"Give."
She handed one over, and Li Ang opened the chestnut shell with his mind, took out the fruit, and threw it into his mouth. It is indeed sweet and soft, dispelling some of the chill in winter.
The two of them walked and ate, chatting about everything from the future of the hospital and the Imperial Medical Office, to recent schoolwork, to the recent prices in Chang'an City - due to the completion of the railway and the improvement of logistics and transportation, prices have dropped a bit, and shopping is also cheaper. It used to be more convenient.
Before they knew it, the whole bag of chestnuts was eaten, and the two of them arrived at their destination. A wine shop.
The streets outside were deserted, but inside the wine shop it was very lively.
Groups of scholars sat behind the table, hugging the cool-dressed wine concubine Hu Ji, drinking and talking about the political situation of the court.
"Alas, His Royal Highness the King of Yue left at the wrong time. The Ministry of Finance established a new department for the railway, which has far more power than the other six departments. It is unmatched in the limelight, but the King of Light actually took the lead."
Some time ago, Emperor Yu unexpectedly chose Li Shan, the King of Light, who had always had little sense of existence, and granted him an official position to take charge of railway construction.
"King Guang's biological mother is named Wu...Does His Majesty want to re-appoint Luoyang's old ministers?"
"It's impossible. After so many years, how many of Luoyang's old ministers are left? Maybe they, who have been suppressed for a long time, secretly hate the Wu family more than the Chang'an bureaucrats..."
People in Chang'an like to discuss the political situation. These scholars who had studied and were going to take part in the imperial examinations used criticizing the current ills as a means to demonstrate their abilities. They were particularly bold in their discussions and dared to say anything except treason.
"You don't know something about this, right?"
A scholar chuckled and said: "The Railway Department has great authority, but in the early days, it only did things that offended people.
They invaded people's farmland, disturbed clan ancestral graves, and competed with aristocratic families for power and profit.
It’s too easy to be jealous and too easy to make mistakes.
When the railway construction is completed and the offending matters are settled, it will be almost time for His Highness the King of Yue to return from Mount Taihao. "
"Wonderful..."
"Brother Shenming has such a foresight, no wonder he is treated as a guest of the Prince of Yue."
When Li Ang and Qiu Feng heard these people's eloquent talk, they looked at each other and wanted to laugh.
This group of scholars was not involved in the political situation and had no first-hand information. They relied solely on speculations and imaginations based on newspaper articles and rumors.
The scholar who was praised by everyone couldn't hide his proud look and said leisurely: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue has a lot of friends. He sat and discussed Taoism with Cardinal Xinxiu, had close friendship with Lu Qingya, the chief of Luli Academy, and had a close relationship with the young man with the same surname of Li. Medicine King Shen Yin is a confidant..."
Stop, stop, stop, why did you blame yourself? I am not that familiar with Li Hui.
Li Ang's face darkened, and with Qiu Feng's teasing chuckle on the side, he waved to the waiter in the wine shop.
A young man wearing a green robe and a towel on his shoulders ran over and said respectfully: "What are your orders for the two distinguished guests?"
"We are from the Imperial Medical Office and we are here to see Ouyang Shi."
Li Ang asked: "Where is she?"
Ouyang Shi grew up in a wine shop with his mother, Hu Ji, who served as a bartender. He relied on reading books and became self-taught.
Ouyang Shi's mother was old and beautiful, and the owner of the wine shop originally wanted to coerce her into coming out and drinking with her instead of her mother.
Unexpectedly, she secretly signed up, took and passed the Imperial Medical Examination, and as Li Ang's student, she threatened the wine shop owner and asked him to be polite to her.
The wine shop owner was afraid of Li Ang and really didn't dare to harass her anymore, so he gave her and her mother a separate room to live in.
Some time ago, after Ouyang Shi got first place in the Imperial Medical Office examination, she came to Li Ang's office to explain the matter and sincerely apologize for her pretentious behavior.
Li Ang didn't care, but admired this student who studied hard and performed well.
"this."
The boy opened his mouth, wondering: "Miss Ouyang said she didn't want to be disturbed..."
"Um?"
Li Ang frowned slightly, and the boy trembled all over. He unconsciously suppressed his prevarication and said subconsciously: "She is in the backyard."
"lead the way."
Li Ang waved his hand and asked the boy to lead the way.
Before entering the backyard, I heard a man's voice coming from the courtyard.
"Don't be like this, Shi'er, please open the door first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk to you face to face."
"Your Excellency, please come back."
Ouyang Shi said coldly: "We are strangers, why do you need to bother us anymore?"
"What is entanglement? I know I owe too much, and I just want a chance to make amends!"
Such a familiar voice.
Li Ang and Qiu Feng pushed open the courtyard door and saw...Xi Yangyu?
Their eyes met, Qiu Feng covered his mouth in surprise, Li Ang raised his eyebrows,
When Xi Yangyu saw the two of them appearing, the muscles on his face twitched and he lowered the palm of his right hand that was pressing on the door frame.
"Xi Siye,"
As Li Ang's status increased, he no longer had to worry about Xi Yangyu and said directly: "Are you...harassing my students?"
