"No excuses."
Li Shimin hummed softly,
"Look at the auxiliary machines and then look at Xuan Ling. How hard have they worked for the country? Even I am exhausted from handling government affairs these days."
"Looking at it, you are the most idle minister in the DPRK! You drink tea and teach your children every day. I heard that you haven't been to the Ministry of Industry much recently?"
Xu Fenglei: "..."
"It's not a big deal with the Ministry of Industry..."
he muttered,
"The design drawings are out, the site has been cleared, and construction of several colleges is starting in an orderly manner."
"The ship chartered by His Majesty has also begun construction."
"Brothers Yan Liben and Yan Lide are doing a good job in other matters of the imperial court. Except for some financial pressure, everything else is going smoothly. I don't need your intervention..."
Li Shimin rolled his eyes.
"Isn't that the end? It's just time for me to preside over the imperial examination!"
He said angrily,
"Just pretend that I'm petty and can't bear to look at your leisurely and contented appearance, okay?"
"Cheer up, I will take the first imperial examination. You must do it well and select a few decent talents for the imperial court in a down-to-earth manner!"
At this moment, Li Er transformed into a black-hearted boss.
Leave at 9 to 5? nonexistent.
Give me a hard 996 and be an outstanding struggler!
"……All right."
Xu Fenglei had no choice but to accept the reality and turned to bargaining,
"But Your Majesty, I can preside over the imperial examination, but I will not do any other trivial matters, such as recruiting candidates and preliminary screening."
"You have to send me help."
Li Shimin nodded, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"As long as you are willing to take this job, I can rest assured that the talents will be under your control."
He smiled and said,
"You don't have to worry about trivial matters. I'll arrange for Du Ruhui to assist you. Is that okay?"
This boy, just like Haechi, has the ability to distinguish between good and evil.
This talent must not be wasted!
"The feelings are good, and the orders will be obeyed."
Xu Fenglei smiled and accepted the order.
At this moment, he had already begun to think about the scientific examination questions.
The imperial examination system was beginning to take shape, and there was no requirement to select passages from the Four Books and Five Classics for examinations, so the questions were relatively freer.
Naturally, it also tests the skill of the question examiner...
Just as he was talking, a slow sound of footsteps came from far away and gradually approached.
"Master Sun is here."
Li Shimin stood up suddenly to greet him and said,
"Please come in quickly. Maid Guanyin has been feeling a little unwell lately. I'm afraid the fetal force may have moved again."
The person who came was carrying a medicine box, and it was Sun Simiao who was a Taoist and immortal.
The remaining three people also stood up and greeted the number one miracle doctor of the Tang Dynasty.
"Won't."
Sun Simiao stroked his beard briefly and said,
"It's such a season, the fetus has already settled down, so why bother to stir up the fetal air?"
"Counting the days, I'm afraid the Queen is about to give birth."
Li Shimin's heart suddenly trembled.
"Master Sun, please!"
He didn't talk nonsense and led Sun Simiao to the backyard.
As close ministers, Xu Fenglei and the other two followed closely behind.
inside the house.
Changsun Wugou's face looked a little unattractive. He gently held his waist and frowned.
Seeing Li Shimin and Sun Simiao coming in, he was about to straighten up, but was held down by Li Shimin.
"Don't move, don't move."
Li Er said with a distressed look,
"Just lie down, just lie down. I've invited Master Sun here. If you feel uncomfortable, tell him everything."
Changsun Wugou nodded slightly and lay down again.
"Seeing the Queen's expression, she seems to be enduring pain?"
Sun Simiao asked doubtfully,
"Yeah?"
Changsun Wugou nodded.
"yes……"
She pointed to her waist and whispered,
"My waist hurts, it hurts and itches, it stings so much..."
Sun Simiao suddenly realized.
"Let's take your pulse first."
He ordered,
"Anyone who is not involved please go out first and leave a maid to serve you. Your Majesty and Ting Ming also please stay."
There was a squeak.
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji both exited obediently and closed the door.
There was silence in the room, and Sun Simiao's fingers rested on Changsun Wugou's wrist.
Li Shimin's eyes were filled with tension.
At this moment, his eyes were all on Sun Simiao's face, fearing that he would frown or shake his head.
Fortunately, this time Lao Suntou looked normal from beginning to end.
"The fetus is fine, but there is a possibility of premature birth."
Sun Simiao closed his fingers and said in a deep voice,
"It will be a month and a half earlier than normal."
Changsun Wugou's expression changed.
"Premature birth?"
She said hurriedly,
"Will that have a bad impact on the child? Will the child's body be weak?"
As her belly grew bigger, her affection for the little life inside grew stronger day by day. She would rather make a mistake on her own than make a mistake on her child.
"Children born prematurely will have inherent weaknesses and will be more difficult to raise when they are young, but they will be fine when they grow up."
Xu Fenglei said with relief,
"Don't worry, Madam, as long as you take good care of it, nothing serious will happen to you."
It turns out that this kid Li Zhi is still a premature baby. No wonder he is weak and sinister...
"yes."
Sun Simiao nodded in agreement and then said,
"Queen, the child is fine, but you seem to be ill."
"Based on the appearance of your face and tongue, it should be stagnation of liver qi and dampness and heat. I'm afraid you have a sore on your waist. Can you take a look?"
Changsun Wugu's face twitched slightly.
She turned sideways with some difficulty, and with the help of the maid, exposed her waist and abdomen.
The white waist is covered with circles of red blisters, densely connected into one after another!
Altogether, there are three pieces in total, from the abdomen to the waist, and from the waist to the back!
Li Shimin: "!!!"
"What's going on? Maid Guanyin, why is it on your waist..."
He was shocked when he saw it and rushed forward to touch it.
"Don't touch! Your Majesty."
Xu Fenglei hurriedly stopped him and said,
"The disease the Queen is suffering from is herpes! It is also called snake around the waist among the people. You can't touch it, otherwise it will sting the Queen!"
"Even if I don't touch it, the pain is so unbearable that I can't sleep at night!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin became even more uneasy.
"This, this, this..."
He said anxiously,
"How could such a disease occur? This is too..."
"Guanyin Maid, are you in pain? How...are you feeling now?"
Li Shimin was also confused at this moment, and blurted out mindless words.
Changsun Wugou: "..."
Do you think it hurts me? ah?
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This disease is very common and there is a cure."
Sun Simiao gently pushed Li Shimin away and comforted,
"Sit down first and don't move around."
Xu Fenglei also nodded.
"It is indeed easy to cure. You can use moxa sticks to bake them and the pain will go away."
He said casually,
"I also suffered from it when I was young. Master gave me moxa sticks to burn it, and the pain disappeared."
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"I am such a sick and troubled wife..."
He held Changsun Wugou's hand and said with a distressed look on his face,
"It's so hard on you, Maid Guanyin."
"If it's not in the way, it can be cured." Changsun Wugou forced a smile to show his relief.
"Moxibustion is not good. The Queen is pregnant now, so moxibustion is forbidden."
Sun Simiao shook his head and rejected this treatment.
"Well……"
Xu Fenglei touched his chin and said hesitantly,
"How about using the Zhu You Technique? Make a formula, then pass a piece of straw through a kitchen knife, and chop the snake to seven inches or something..."
"It seems to be quite effective among the people as well."
Sun Simiao raised his head slightly.
"I'm not good at Zhu You's technique."
He raised his hand and said,
"How about you come?"
Xu Fenglei scratched his head, spread his hands and said:
"I don't know that formula either! Forget it...think of other ways."
Just as he was about to rack his brains, Sun Simiao waved his hand.
"No need."
He hummed softly,
"You have a lot of side ideas. Didn't your master only teach you side remedies?"
"Let's see how I can solve it with correct medical methods."
"Get a pen and paper."
Xu Fenglei obeyed the instruction obediently, and the maid at the side quickly stepped forward and presented a pen and paper.
Swish, swish, swish.
Sun Simiao wrote a row of big characters on the paper. Li Shimin came up to take a look and muttered:
"Shanzi Mushroom, Red Euphorbia, Qianjin Zishuang..."
"Gallnut, cinnabar, realgar..."
When Xu Fenglei heard this, his heart suddenly moved.
"The Immortal Pursuit of Poison Pills?"
He suddenly said.
This recipe sounds a bit familiar.
"oh?"
Sun Simiao rolled up the prescription, handed it to the maid, and said in surprise,
"You do have some knowledge. Do you know this recipe?"
"Yes, this is the Shenxian Zhuidu Pill, also known as the Holy Life-Destroying Pill. It can dissolve phlegm, rejuvenate the body, ward off impurities and detoxify. It is a holy product for external use."
Xu Fenglei smiled.
"I know a lot."
He was quite proud.
“You know it but don’t know how to use it, which means you’ve learned all the medicine in a dog’s belly!”
Sun Simiao scolded.
Xu Fenglei immediately closed his mouth and did not dare to laugh again.
"Make the medicine in this prescription into pill pills and make a bottle. Don't add the cinnabar yet, I will do it."
Sun Simiao ordered,
"Also, prepare some raw wood oil and get some Flying Snake Grass."
"Go quickly."
The maid wrote down Sun Simiao's words verbatim and responded;
"Yes Yes."
"Slave, I'm going to the Imperial Hospital right now."
After saying that, she took Sun Simiao's prescription and ran out like a whirlwind.
"The doctor at this hospital is almost becoming your medicine boy."
Xu Fenglei said happily,
"When the future medical school is completed, you will have to torture them hard, Old Sun. If you are not satisfied, they will not be able to graduate and will lose their jobs!"
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.
"I agree!"
He said loudly,
"Fang Xuanling and the others are streamlining their officials. It's time to streamline this group of imperial doctors as well! They are all so full of talent that they can't eat without their bodies!"
"Zhenren Sun, when the time comes, you will train them to death. If they train to death, it will be mine!"
Changsun Wugou frowned slightly.
"Erfeng, please keep your voice down, it's too noisy." She turned slightly sideways and whispered.
Li Er smiled.
"Okay, okay, take a rest first and have a good sleep."
He whispered,
"The medicine will be ready later, and everything will be fine... Ouch."
Changsun Wugou snorted slightly, slowly closed his eyes, and his brows relaxed.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel less pain than before."
she murmured.
Xu Fenglei smiled.
"The root cause of this disease is stagnation of liver qi. The queen must have been worried about the prince in her belly in recent days, which gave the disease a chance to develop."
He explained,
"Now that Master Sun has made a diagnosis and found out that the fetus is fine, you feel relieved and your depression is relieved. Naturally, the pain is not that severe."
He paused for a moment and couldn't help but sigh:
"What a pity for the parents in the world..."
"Please don't worry, Madam. You are about to give birth. I will ask Master Sun to live in the palace for a while and take care of you every day. I will ensure that you, mother and son, are safe."
The eldest grandson Wugu couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
"Thank you." She gently raised her hand and waved towards Xu Fenglei.
"Where are you from, your Majesty?"
Xu Fenglei stood up and said with a smile,
"As you said, I am still this child's master, so naturally I have to protect him."
"No further talk, everything is done by Your Majesty and us. Just take a good rest."
After saying that, he turned to look at Li Shimin and Sun Simiao.
The three of them looked at each other and quietly exited the bedroom.
The eldest grandson Wugao on the couch also fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind.
Thump, thump.
The child in the belly was unwilling to be left alone. He kicked his legs and opened his hands, wanting to come out!
…
Whirring whirring.
A gust of cool wind came and blew the robes of everyone beside the official road.
Most of the people in this group were clothed and bald, which made passers-by look at them with suspicion.
What's going on? Is this? Are the monks going down the mountain to build a team?
"Master Xuanzang, have you been impatient for the past few months?"
Xu Fenglei held the booklet in his hand with a smile and said.
Xuanzang clasped his hands together and looked calm.
"Amitabha."
He clasped his hands together and said seriously,
"The young monk has been waiting for this day for several years, let alone just a few months?"
"This is also a kind of training. The young monk is not anxious, only looking forward to it. The longer he waits, the more hopeful he is."
Xu Fenglei grinned.
This guy is a talent and he speaks really nicely.
No wonder he was still so popular in a foreign country where people couldn't understand each other and looked different. He even befriended the King of Gaochang.
"Take it, what you like."
Xu Fenglei handed the customs clearance document to Xuanzang's hand and said,
"Now that the Tang Dynasty has promulgated the entry and exit laws, it is no longer as difficult for monks like you to travel abroad as it used to be. There is no need for His Majesty the Emperor to stamp it, as long as it is approved and issued by Honglu Temple."
"However, this further demonstrates the preciousness of this customs clearance certificate."
Crash.
Xuanzang looked at the customs clearance document in his hand. He felt like he had found a treasure and couldn't put it down.
On it was his name, age, place of origin and other basic information, as well as a mini portrait.
Turning to the second page, the jade seal suddenly came into view.
"This document is still signed by His Majesty with a jade seal, which means that His Majesty also approves your trip."
Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,
"Although you don't have a talisman, you are still half an envoy of the Tang Dynasty. You can enjoy the treatment of an envoy of the Tang Dynasty in a foreign country!"
"You should know how convenient this is for you, right?"
Xuanzang was shocked.
"Thank you for your grace."
He bowed deeply in the direction of Tai Chi Palace and said,
"The little monk is endlessly grateful."
"Get up." Xu Fenglei raised his hand and said, "Since you have enjoyed the benefits, you must also fulfill your due obligations and responsibilities, maintain your own image, and manage your words and deeds. Everything you say and do must be To a certain extent, it represents the image of Datang, you know?"
Xuanzang's expression became serious.
"Master, please rest assured."
He assured,
"When a young monk travels to foreign countries, he must restrain himself and return to etiquette, and he will never dishonor the reputation of the heavenly kingdom."
