As the de facto crown prince of Nanping Kingdom, it was no small matter for Gao Baorong to personally come to Bianliang, Tokyo.
Even though Nanping Kingdom has never proclaimed itself emperor in history, this does not hinder Nanping Kingdom's independent identity.
The last time a king or prince paid homage to the capital of the Central Plains, it was when Li Cunxu first entered Luoyang. Gao Baorong's grandfather, Gao Jixing, the founder of Nanping, went to the court in person to pay homage.
And that was already thirty-two years ago.
Therefore, this time Gao Baorong came to the court in person. It was the first time that the leader of the vassals came to court since Zhuangzong Li Yazi of the later dynasty became famous in the world. Zhang Zhou paid great attention to it from top to bottom.
Zhang Zhao urgently ordered Feng Dao, the Minister of Rites, to build the mansion originally planned for Zhang Zhao's eldest son Zhang Xiancun in Taipingfang in the southeast of the inner city, and immediately add household items to serve as a residence for Gao Baorong and his close followers.
All civil and military officials from Nanping Kingdom were also arranged to live in the inner city, and they were not allowed to live in the public residence of the Ministry of Rites.
It was also agreed that Shouchang County Duke Li Cunhui would come forward and greet him thirty miles outside Tokyo.
Finally, it is still determined that on the fifth day of July when Gao Baorong will arrive, a court meeting will be held. All officials above the seventh rank in Beijing can participate in the court meeting and observe the ceremony.
Of course, before Gao Baorong arrived, Zhang Zhao sent Li Xiaojie as a special envoy to communicate with Gao Baorong and the accompanying Nanping civil and military officials.
Because Zhang Zhao put up such a big battle to welcome him, it would be funny if Gao Baorong came to cause trouble.
Therefore, Zhang Zhao made this arrangement after confirming that Gao Baorong was here to pay tribute, and it was said that he had a peerless treasure to pay tribute.
On the first day of July, although it is a hot summer day, a cool river breeze has been blowing in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo recently, and it does not seem too hot.
Today's court meeting is very solemn, and the pomp is only a little worse than when Zhang Zhao first ascended the throne.
Escorting Gao Baorong were five hundred Yingyang Town Xiaoqi stationed in Dengzhou, while those who welcomed Gao Baorong into the city were Li Cunhui's right feather Lin Wei Qianqi.
Gao Baorong is also riding on a black horse. Although he is kind-hearted and cowardly, he is also a third-generation martial artist. He is very good at horseback riding and archery. He is even good at swordsmanship. His body is definitely much better than ordinary people.
Gao Baorong had already felt extremely tough when he saw the five hundred knights in Yingyang Town. This time when he saw Li Cunhui's Qian Yu Lin Lang, he was even more surprised and speechless.
Although there were thousands of these Yulin Langs, the murderous aura bursting out from them made Gao Baorong feel a little chilly. He turned around and said to the accompanying Nanping Cavalry Commander.
"The imperial army is so prosperous, I don't want to do anything for a single day, let the soldiers take off their armor and stomach and put on silk uniforms."
It turned out that when setting out, Gao Congjie, fearing that the imperial court would despise the Nanping army and horses, also sold iron and steel to Gao Baorong to get 200 cavalry.
These Nanping armor riders were wearing dozens of kilograms of heavy armor, which they had just put on outside the city.
However, Gao Baorong took one look and felt that it was better not to let them wear armor.
If Nanping is talking about the naval army, it is still quite strong, at least as good as the Central Plains court, or even a little stronger, but the armored cavalry is forgettable.
The Nanping soldiers were impatient to wear dozens of kilograms of armor across the entire city of Tokyo in the hot weather.
As soon as Gao Baorong said this, he immediately put on silk clothes and dressed himself up nicely. He puffed up his chest and looked handsome to the Tokyo girls and wives who were watching the excitement around them. They were immediately greeted with cheers. .
This is in sharp contrast to Xu Rulin's right winger, Lin Weiyu Linlang, who is silent and silent.
"Preaching the will of the saint, Sikong, the inspector of the school, deputy envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, and Gao Baorong, the governor of Xiazhou, are here to meet you!"
Not long after, the team arrived outside the Qianyuan Palace, and the Qianyuan Palace envoy in charge of the inner court came to deliver the order in person.
Gao Baorong knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times outside the Zhuque Gate of Qianyuan Palace, saying "Long Live the Lord" three times. After the kowtows were completed, he stood up and led the Nanping officials in through the Zhuque Gate.
After he kowtowed, someone naturally informed Zhang Zhao of Gao Baorong's performance.
The Zhuque Gate is still quite far away from Chongyuan Hall, the main hall of Qianyuan Palace. If you want to walk there, you have to walk for at least ten minutes.
So after a while, a servant led a horse to Gao Baorong.
"The sage said: 'Gao Sikong came from afar and was given a BMW as a means of transportation.'"
This is a third-generation sweat horse. The horse is more than five feet tall at the shoulders. The hair on its body is slightly purple-red, and its eyes are lively. At first glance, it is not ordinary.
At this moment, the horse saw Gao Baorong looking at it, and it grinned and neighed, and shook its long head, feeling very excited.
Gao Baorong immediately bowed again and said to the chamberlain: "This is a good horse for the battle formation. Its neighing has the meaning of a tiger roaring in all directions. I have always been weak and unable to control it."
.
.
In the palace, I, Saint Zhang, grinned when he heard this. This curly-haired purple horse is quite restless in the imperial garden.
The few times it neighed were nothing but excitement. Once it started running, it would be scary. Giving this curly purple to Gao Baorong was actually a test.
"Whoever tells me that Gao Baorong is honest and cowardly in the future is deceiving the emperor. In fact, the Prince of Nanping is very measured in his heart.
Come and give him a fast and reliable horse. I can't wait to see Gao Baorong. "
So, after walking a few steps, Gao Baorong met the third group of chamberlains. The chamberlains gave him a fat castrated horse, which looked very docile at first sight.
.
.
Gao Baorong is somewhat chubby and has a round face, which is completely different from the dignified long faces of his father Gao Congjie and his tenth brother Gao Baoxu. Perhaps this is why Gao Baorong is easily labeled as simple and cowardly.
As for Zhang Zhao, I am more familiar with this face. The appearance and temperament of Gao Baorong are very similar to those of the technical geeks of later generations. If he wears a plaid shirt, he will look exactly like the stereotypical senior programmer.
"Your Majesty, Gao Baorong, wishes you peace and happiness."
Gao Baorong didn't even see clearly what the emperor on the throne looked like. When he walked to the front, he bowed down like a jade pillar.
Zhang Zhao also walked down happily and reached out to help Gao Baorong up.
"If you are a blessed person, you will have good fortune and wealth. I would like to ask you, why do you only claim to be a minister and not an official?"
Gao Baorong was held by Zhang Zhao's hand, and his body suddenly trembled slightly. He tried to answer in a calm tone.
"My office as Sikong, Inspector of Schools, and Deputy Envoy of Jingnan Festival were granted by the Shi Jin puppet dynasty, as were all my father's official positions, so I dare not mention them in front of the saint."
Zhang Zhao nodded with satisfaction, Gao Baorong's mind was still clear.
Because before Zhang Zhao's southern expedition to the Southern Tang Dynasty, he declared that the thrones of Shi Jingtang and Shi Chonggui were illegal and that Shi Jin was a puppet dynasty on the grounds that the Shi Jin court was canonized by the Khitan.
However, because Shi Chonggui was abducted, which was somewhat tragic, the Tokyo people and civil and military officials sympathized with him, so Zhang Zhao did not completely discredit Shi Jin.
"Then you came to the court this time mainly to ask for a seal?" Zhang Zhao squinted his eyes, obviously there was something in his words.
Cold sweat broke out on Gao Baorong's back, but fortunately, he had made a small preparation before setting off, so he was not too panicked.
He was held by Zhang Zhao's hand, and he hunched over and replied: "I'm here to plead guilty for my father and the soldiers and people of Jingnan. In the past, after the Khitans entered the Central Plains, my father was bewitched by villains and raised troops to harass Xiangzhou. and Yingzhou.
Although they were all defeated by the imperial soldiers and horses, the blame for the crime still remains, and we ask the saint to give him a lighter sentence in view of the fact that our Gao family has always been respectful. "
This statement is also very good. He named the Khitan to enter the Central Plains. This means that the Xiangzhou and Yingzhou that were attacked at that time were not Zhang Zhou's territory.
Then he said that they were defeated by the imperial court, which meant that not only did they not cause much damage, but they had been taught a lesson and put on a miserable look to gain sympathy.
Although Zhang Zhao knew that this was Gao Baorong's strategy, he still couldn't help but want to laugh. This Jingnan army was too funny.
Not to mention being defeated by Jiao Jixun in Xiangzhou, he was still a famous general, but what the hell was he being beaten by Yin Shi, the governor of Yingzhou, who mobilized state and county soldiers to fight him?
Such a weakling!
However, the intention of punishing him was gone a lot, but Zhang Zhao was not prepared to forgive. He let go of Gao Baorong's hand, snorted coldly, and his tone became serious.
"I thought you and your son didn't know the crime they committed? Using Jingnan soldiers and horses to harass Xiang and Ying prefectures is treason!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Baorong knelt down and knelt down again and cried: "My father knew he was guilty, so he sent me to plead guilty. However, I ask your majesty to put aside your thunderous anger temporarily, because I have a second matter to report when I come to worship." "
"What's the matter to report? Let's talk about it." Zhang Zhao was also curious about what this peerless treasure that Gao Baorong 'quietly' revealed to Li Xiaojie was.
Gao Baorong continued to say with some trembling: "My father returned from the defeat in Yingzhou. He knew that he had made a big mistake and was about to throw himself into the river to avoid involving his family.
After walking a few steps, I saw an old man sitting alone by the river, suffering from the cold of Feng Shui.
My father thought that since he was going to commit suicide, the brocade fur on his body and the money in his arms would be of no use, so he immediately took off his brocade fur and gave him money as a gift.
The old man put on his brocade coat and took the money. He suddenly laughed and said, "Although you are a scoundrel, you still have some benevolence. Now a saint has been born to bless my hometown for thousands of years. If you take this book, you may be able to protect it." Your life. '
After saying that, the old man disappeared. My father took a closer look and saw that there was no old man by the river, only a wooden box. "
Cough cough cough! Zhang Zhao couldn't help coughing a few times, "Good guy, tell me a fairy tale, right?" I wonder if this is my favorite operation, Zhang Shengren?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao stared hard at Gao Baorong. The meaning was obvious. After telling the mythical story, if you can't come up with anything that matches the myth, you just wait to be dealt with.
However, Gao Baorong is quite confident. The Gao family has kept it secretly for more than ten years. If it is not precious, how can he dare to call it a peerless treasure?
Two large boxes were carried in by the guards. The open boxes were full of books, with a few large characters written on the top.
Zhang Zhao rushed over and took a look. The box on the left was written with "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", and the box on the right was written with "Bianfeng Han" and "Treatise on Five Tibetans".
Zhang Zhao took a deep breath, and even his voice was trembling.
This Treatise on Febrile Diseases plus the Wuzang Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases, etc., add up to the Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases.
"But the treatise on febrile diseases and miscellaneous diseases by the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing?"
The reason why he was so excited was because as soon as Zhang Zhao arrived in Tokyo, he began to search for these peerless medical works.
However, after two years of searching and even the dispatch of Jinyi's personal guards, no one was found. Some people even said that Huang Chao had been completely destroyed by a fire when he entered Chang'an.
Gao Baorong violently knocked his head to the ground, "A saint was born to bring peace to the world. That's why this peerless treasure appears in the world. I congratulate Your Majesty!"
There was an uproar in the court. Legend has it that a mysterious medical sage who had been lost for nearly a hundred years appeared in the world. What is this person if he is not a born saint?
Confucianism also says that not being a good doctor is equivalent to being a good doctor. Zhang Xichong, He Ning, Fan Zhi, Feng Dao, Li Fang and others all had their eyes opened.
All of a sudden, all the civil and military ministers shouted in unison, "I also wish to congratulate Your Majesty."
Historically, Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" had lost its inheritance by the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties.
But by chance, the Gao family in Nanping collected a set of treatises on febrile diseases and miscellaneous diseases that were almost out of print.
Later, the last generation of Nanping King Gao Jichong, the son of Gao Baorong, dedicated it to the Northern Song Dynasty.
hehe! My second brother Zhao is really awesome. I guess he sees nothing but conspiracy.
After such a basically certain peerless treasure was presented to the Gao family, Zhao Er threw it directly into the Royal Library to eat ashes.
It was not until more than eighty years later, during the Jiayou period of Song Renzong (1056-1063), when the Northern Song Dynasty established the Medical Bookstore that it was accidentally discovered.
However, at this time, the Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases such as Braided Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Treatise on Speech and Teeth had long been lost.
Let’s not mention the importance of Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases. This book is known as the ancestor of prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine. Dozens of prescriptions such as Big and Small Qinglong Decoction and Big and Small Bupleurum Decoction are still commonly used in later generations.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a peerless treasure, especially at this time.
Zhang Zhao stood up slowly, looked at Gao Baorong and said, "Let your father submit a confession! I can forgive him for the crime of harassing Xiangzhou and Yingzhou."
After hearing this, Gao Baorong cried and kowtowed on the ground.
Zhang Zhaoze looked at Zhao Jinfang and said, "Call all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Office to organize this book in detail so that not a single word is lost.
The Ministry of Industry immediately summoned craftsmen for printing.
The Ministry of Rites has issued an edict to all the people in the world, whoever has a renunciation book submitted among the people, will be given rewards and official positions depending on their importance. The one with the highest rank will be rewarded with the title of earl. "
