"stop!"
However, Song Ming was stopped by guards as soon as he arrived at the palace gate.
"Where did the beggar come from?"
"This is the palace, not the place you should be."
"Get out of here."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."
While speaking, the guards waved their spears and pointed them at Song Ming.
He had a posture of impaling him if he didn't leave.
"My name is Song Ming, and I am the envoy of the imperial hospital."
Song Ming hurriedly said loudly: "A few days ago, His Majesty sent me to Yun'an County to deal with the plague. Now that the plague has come into contact, I have returned to Beijing to resume my duties."
"Are you the Imperial Hospital envoy?"
The guard sneered, "Don't be ridiculous."
"Although the imperial envoy is only in high school, he is still a fifth-grade official."
"Even if you don't have a guard to follow you when you go out, at least you should have a eunuch with you to help carry the medicine box?"
"Look at you again."
"The clothes are in tatters and there are many wounds on the body. How are they any different from the beggars in the northern suburbs?"
"And you don't have a medicine kit?"
"Don't disturb the adults passing by here. You have three breaths to get out. Otherwise, we will really take action."
"I……"
Song Ming wanted to cry but had no tears.
He really has guards and eunuchs.
His Majesty sent him to Xiping Village to conquer the plague, and he also brought a large amount of medicinal herbs. Those people were the escorts and took care of him.
But on the way back from Xiping Village, after encountering bandits, those people fled for their lives and disappeared long ago.
And in order to avoid bandits, he traveled through mountains and forests, and how many deserted places did he walk through?
There were so many thorns that they only scratched his clothes and skin, but didn't leave his life there. It was a blessing.
Now he is mistaken for a beggar.
Song Ming really had nothing to say.
After all, he is really no different from a beggar at this time.
The only difference may be that he has many more wounds than the beggar.
That's all.
Moreover, he had just graduated from high school and became an imperial doctor. He didn't even have a place to live in the capital, so he was sent to Yun'an County by His Majesty.
Now that I'm back, I can't even take a shower or change clothes.
Helpless, Song Ming had no choice but to take out the bamboo sign that proved his identity and said, "Masters, this is my bamboo sign. You can verify it."
"I am indeed Song Ming, the envoy of the imperial hospital."
"It's just that the experience has been a bit bumpy, and that's why it's like this."
"Please be accommodating, everyone."
"Um?"
The guard was also stunned. There was actually a bamboo sign?
As a result, it turned out that Song Ming's name was actually written on it.
However, it was people from Pingyan County who made the remarks.
Not too hospital-friendly.
But they all know that this time, no one from Medical Officer Qiu Wei's high school will end well.
The nine medical officers happily accepted His Majesty's summons.
I plan to enter Taiyuan Hospital and achieve a great career.
As soon as they were promoted, they learned that His Majesty would send them to conquer the plague.
Everyone was so scared that they peed their pants.
Of the nine, eight escaped.
For those eight who escaped, His Majesty decreed that the three clans would be implicated.
Although he later received intercession, he gave up the guilt of involvement.
But six of the eight new imperial doctors were also chased back, their heads chopped off, and hung outside the palace gate as a warning to others.
The remaining two people heard that they had escaped from the Dawei Dynasty, but they didn't catch up anyway.
The only one who did not escape was Song Ming. He accepted the emperor's order and went to Yun'an County to conquer the plague.
As a guard of the palace, he naturally knew how terrible the plague was.
capture?
It's almost like dying.
It's so similar to Song Ming's name, it's a death sentence.
Not long after, a memorial came from Yun'an County, claiming that the plague had been conquered.
At that time, there were still people in the court who were suspicious, suspecting that the county magistrate Huang Fengnian was spreading false news, wanting to take credit, etc. His Majesty even sent someone to investigate thoroughly.
Finally it was confirmed that the plague had indeed been conquered.
Even His Majesty has to recall the money and food sent out for disaster relief.
At that time, everyone began to inquire about Song Ming's situation, thinking that he would soar into the sky and become a master.
However, Zuo waited for Song Ming to not come back.
Wait a minute, Song Ming hasn't come back yet.
Everyone felt that he had died in a foreign land, and gradually forgot about such a person.
But, he came back.
Instead of being flamboyant and showing off after returning from victory, he became a beggar in despair.
Even so, the guards did not dare to underestimate Song Ming anymore.
He hurriedly took the bamboo sign and went inside to report and verify.
The news spread like wildfire, and most of the important officials working in the palace got the news, and they were all equally shocked.
But I also thought about the benefits Song Ming could bring.
First of all, he was admitted to the Imperial Physician Examination by virtue of his true talents and knowledge, and was appointed the Imperial Medical Envoy by His Majesty himself.
Although he was only a fifth-rank concubine, compared with these important officials in the court, he was more or less insignificant.
But he is a medical officer.
No matter whether you are a minister or your Majesty, it is impossible to maintain a strong body all the time. There will always be times when you get sick.
Once you get sick, you need a medical officer.
Which medical officer has the best medical skills?
Naturally, it’s too hospital-like.
And Song Ming was a new medical officer with no background, so it was the best time to win over him.
Secondly, Song Ming came back from Yun'an County.
Where is Yun'an County?
Xu Tianhua, the seventh grade wine tasting officer, serves as the county magistrate there.
Zhao Ping, the seventh-grade wine tasting officer, brewed acacia wine, soap, and frosting sugar there.
The two wine tasters of the Dawei Dynasty all gathered in Yun'an County.
And His Majesty is a good drinker.
It is not difficult to see that Yun'an County will definitely become an important city of the Dawei Dynasty.
Being close to Song Mingtao and building relationships can help them quickly understand the situation in Yun'an County and make favorable countermeasures.
Again, Xu Tianhua made millions of taels of silver from acacia wine when he returned to Beijing last time.
The important officials in the DPRK couldn't help but send out manpower to Yun'an County to seek cooperation.
But no one knows what the outcome will be.
When I meet Song Ming at this time, I can also find out something from him.
Of course, there is the last point, which is also the most important point.
This time, Qiu Wei, the medical officer, was the only one left, Song and Ming.
Song and Ming went to Yun'an County to conquer the plague. The key is that the plague was really conquered.
Even if it wasn't for Song Ming's contribution, His Majesty would still reuse him.
Now Song Ming has already started from the fifth rank Imperial Hospital Envoy, and the next step is to become Imperial Imperial Hospital Envoy.
It is even possible for His Majesty to have a royal physician on his whim and become a close minister around His Majesty.
Who wouldn't want to fawn over such a popular person next to the rapidly rising Majesty of Tomorrow?
For various reasons, the important officials in the court stopped going to work. They ran out of the office one by one and went to the palace gate to greet him in person.
Why?
Don’t you see that Song Ming was blocked from the palace gate because he looked too much like a beggar?
Isn't it just a matter of time to meet him and confirm his identity at this time?
Is there any better time to win over him?
Then... the palace gate was actually more lively than the court.
Everyone from the Crown Prince and Tutor Mu Chen to the captains of the palace guard came here.
this……
The guards were dumbfounded.
Isn't it just Song Ming?
It’s not like His Majesty came back victorious from a personal expedition, so why would he start such a big war?
The key is that Song Ming's identity has not been verified clearly.
Aren't you afraid of encountering a fake Song Ming assassinating you when you are cheering like this?
The guards had no choice but to advise everyone to be careful.
"You know shit."
Someone started scolding him, "A mere guard dares to stop an envoy from the Imperial Medical College from entering the capital to meet the saint. How many heads can he chop off?"
"go away."
The captain was more direct. He stepped forward and kicked the guard away.
He said impatiently: "Keep your eyes open. This is the hero of our Dawei Dynasty's victory over the plague. You actually blocked him from the palace gate. This month's salary is gone."
"I……"
The guard wanted to cry but had no tears.
Who did he provoke?
To be treated like this.
But no one paid attention to his emotions, and everyone looked at Song Ming.
Although I want to make friends.
I really don’t dare to recognize each other.
Isn’t Song Ming a hero?
Why does the person in front of me look more like a beggar?
While hesitating, someone took the lead and said excitedly: "Mr. Song Tai Hospital, I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I've got you back."
"Let's go back to the house with me."
"You look more like a beggar. How can you meet His Majesty?"
"Let's go back to the house. I'll prepare bath water for you and select a few pretty maids to help you bathe and change clothes."
"It won't be too late to meet the saint again after we have washed ourselves and changed into new clothes."
"How can the maid in your house be as handsome as the one in my house?"
Someone said unconvinced: "The maids in my house are all..."
"What a maid, I have already sent someone to fetch the girl on the first floor. Not only is she pretty, but she is also well-behaved. She is guaranteed to be able to bathe comfortably in Songtai Hospital."
"..."
Each statement becomes more and more "excessive" and the benefits given out are increasing.
From the maids bathing and changing clothes, to the delicacies from the mountains and seas placed on the table, and even the rare treasures mentioned in the end, there were even people who were willing to give Song Ming a few sips of the acacia wine.
Just when Song and Ming had nothing to do.
Two soft coughs came from behind everyone, and the eunuch chief Li Yan arrived.
"Ahem."
"Everyone, if you want to invite the envoy from Song Tai Hospital, please wait a moment."
"Your Majesty will summon him immediately, so there is no need to waste any more time."
"Mr. Song Tai's Hospital, will you follow our family into the palace to meet the saint?"
Li Yan shook the whisk in his hand and winked at Song Ming.
