Yan Xiang smiled slightly and said, "Of course I would like to dissuade Your Majesty from leaving at least one person behind. For example, Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo. If anyone is left behind, at least we can be protected."
Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment.
dissuade the emperor.
He was extremely resistant to this matter.
Zhang Zhao said without hesitation: "Gong Yan, why don't you go in person to dissuade His Majesty? In short, I fully support it. What do you think?"
The expression on Yan Xiang's face also froze.
The smile is gone.
He wanted Zhang Zhao to go because Zhang Zhao was the prime minister of the cabinet and the head of the civil service. What's more, the things he mentioned were not only for himself, but also for everyone's consideration.
After all, everyone has an old man in their family.
If you get sick and no one can treat you, wouldn't it be the most troublesome thing?
Yan Xiang hurriedly said: "Prime Minister Zhang, you are highly respected and the most influential in front of His Majesty. If you don't come forward, who can come forward? I beg Prime Minister Zhang not to refuse, but to go all out to dissuade His Majesty. Leave some people behind."
Zhang Zhao waved his hand and said: "Mr. Yan, I am really incompetent. It would be inappropriate for me to intervene in this matter."
"well……"
Yan Xiang couldn't help but sigh.
He looked at Zhang Zhao with a helpless expression and said, "Xiang Zhang, what should we do now?"
Zhang Zhao blinked and said: "Yes, there is nothing we can do about it, what should we do?"
Yan Xiang saw that Zhang Zhao didn't accept the move at all. He stamped his feet and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, you are the leader of all officials. If you don't recruit them to surrender now, how can this be done? At the critical moment, Fang Xian showed up. You are a hero. At this time, it is your duty. Otherwise, everyone will blame you."
Zhang Zhao said solemnly: "Whoever complains will go to His Majesty. Anyway, I won't go."
Yan Xiang had no choice but to throw out his own plan and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, let's change our thinking. Let's all go to see His Highness the Prince together and ask the Prince to come forward. All of us in the cabinet will come together, the Prince You can’t refuse, right?”
Yan Xiang stared at Zhang Zhao and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Zhang, don't you dare to take the lead or come forward in such a matter?"
Zhang Zhao was so squeezed that he couldn't help it.
At this time, we can no longer retreat, otherwise Yan Xiang will publicize that he has not done anything as the chief assistant and does not consider the people below him at all, and he will lose people's hearts.
Yan Xiang’s support is still very important.
If you reject Yan Xiang now, Yan Xiang may veto him when the cabinet discusses the matter. Now when he helps Yan Xiang, when something happens, Yan Xiang will sell his favor and support him.
Zhang Zhao said sincerely: "Yan Gong, let me tell you about this matter. You also know that our Majesty is definitely very powerful. Do you admit this?"
"admit!"
Yan Xiang also nodded.
Lu Xuan always acted forcefully and domineeringly, leaving no room for change.
Zhang Zhao further said: "If I go directly to dissuade His Majesty, I am afraid that I myself will fall into it. We are also people who know the root cause. You also know that I have tried to dissuade Your Majesty several times, and I have been beaten by His Majesty several times."
Yan Xiang waved his hand and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, things are different this time. It has nothing to do with interests or government affairs. It just wants to keep one or two people behind to ensure that we old guys can be treated when we are seriously ill."
Zhang Zhao said: "My idea is very simple. Together with Gu Yong and Kuai Liang, we will go to see the prince and ask the prince to come forward. It concerns the doctors and patients in the country. The prince cannot ignore it, right?"
Yan Xiang hesitated for a moment.
However, when he thought that he was already sixty or seventy years old, it was time for a miracle doctor to treat him. Once Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were out, and there was no miracle doctor sitting behind them, Yan Xiang felt unsteady, so he took the initiative and said: "Okay, Just follow Mr. Zhang’s arrangements.”
Zhang Zhao was relieved.
He immediately arranged for people to invite Kuai Liang and Gu Yong to discuss the matter, and quickly told Yan Xiang's plan and his plan to invite the prince to come forward. Finally, he said: "Xiang Kuai and Xiang Gu, what do you think?"
Kuai Liang said: "I have no objection."
Gu Yong said: "I have no objection."
The emperor wanted to take away the craftsmen, and no one objected. However, even Kuai Liang and Gu Yong were not happy to take away Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, so they supported Zhang Zhao's suggestion.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhang Zhao felt relieved and stood up and said, "Let's go to the East Palace to meet the prince."
A group of people went to the East Palace together.
This fight is really rare, because most of the time, one or two people from the cabinet go to meet, and it is a separate matter. Now, four cabinet prime ministers are going together.
The guards at the entrance of the East Palace were shocked when they saw it, and quickly entered the main hall to report.
Lu Yu and Jia Xu were discussing local taxes.
Business has become more and more prosperous in recent years, but the policies for businessmen are still very broad and there is no reasonable taxation. Therefore, there are also officials in the DPRK who have submitted memorials, hoping to change the commercial tax. They need to adjust the tax on merchants doing business, and it can no longer be a simple capitation tax.
This matter was very complicated, and Lu Yu did not dare to act rashly, so he often talked with Jia Xu and also specifically asked Mi Zhu and others for advice. However, until now, Lu Yu felt that it was not perfect enough, so he was still discussing it.
Lu Yu was a little surprised when he heard the news reported by the guards and learned that it was Zhang Zhao, Kuai Liang, Gu Yong and Yan Xiang who came together.
He did not summon him immediately and said, "Sir, if the four prime ministers come together, I'm afraid something big will happen."
Jia Xu said relaxedly: "The prince doesn't need to worry. You can deal with it how you want to deal with it. If it's something difficult to decide, the prince will delay it and say that you need to think about it before giving an answer."
Lu Yu said: "I understand."
"I'll take a step aside for now."
Jia Xu stood up and hid behind a screen not far away.
Lu Yu had people tidy up before arranging for someone to be summoned. Not long after, Zhang Zhao, Kuai Liang, Gu Yong and Yan Xiang entered together.
The four people stood still and saluted together.
Lu Yu nodded slightly and said, "Prime Minister Zhang, Prime Minister Kuai, Prime Minister Gu, and Prime Minister Yan are here together. What's the matter?"
Zhang Zhao quickly told the story of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing's departure, and solemnly said: "Prince, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing are two of the most skilled doctors. Now, I am afraid it is not appropriate to go to Xiangzhou with His Majesty. "
"We also need a miraculous doctor in the country. If something happens, a miraculous doctor will be able to treat him. In addition, His Majesty will send Pu Yuan and Ma Jun, the best craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, to leave together."
"I have no objection to Your Majesty, but I feel that Your Majesty must leave some roots in the country by transferring people. Now, we have taken away Divine Doctor Zhang and Divine Doctor Hua, just in case there is something wrong with the elders of any family, or if they are senior in the court. Only when a person has something can he be treated and can he make a decision. Please give it a clear lesson, His Highness."
Lu Yu nodded and said: "I think Prime Minister Zhang's suggestion is good. In the name of the cabinet, you can directly submit a memorial and ask my father to make a decision. It will not be a difficult matter."
Zhang Zhao hurriedly said: "Your Highness, it is not easy to persuade His Majesty. Please come forward in this matter."
Lu Yu thought carefully.
When it comes to the arrangements for the hospital, he cannot take it lightly. He has to be responsible for making arrangements. After all, there are many important ministers and respected people in the country who need a miracle doctor to take charge.
Lu Yu was willing to give in on ordinary matters and was unwilling to disturb Lu Xuan. Now, Lu Yu cannot retreat.
Lu Yu nodded and said: "I will accept this matter."
Zhang Zhao was also stunned for a moment.
The prince handles government affairs resolutely and has a vision, but when it comes to the emperor, the prince usually doesn't get involved, or avoids it, or throws the matter to him and then throws it back.
Now, he actually took the initiative to take responsibility.
Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said, "The prince is wise!"
Kuai Liang, Gu Yong and Yan Xiang all praised him. Lu Yu took the responsibility and praised him, and they all felt relieved.
The four of them didn't stay long and left immediately. Jia Xu walked out from behind the screen. He was almost sixty years old and very old, so he naturally had thoughts about miracle doctors. It was really inappropriate for the emperor to take Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo away.
Jia Xu said sternly: "The prince is indeed responsible for agreeing this time. This matter must be publicized afterwards. It cannot be done in obscurity, and it cannot be done without others knowing."
Lu Yu said: "Sir, you are right."
He looked serious and said in a deep voice: "As for the current arrangements, I also think that Xiang Zhang is right. Otherwise, Xiang Kuai, Xiang Gu and Xiang Yan will not come together. Whatever happens this time, whatever happens Do it, even if the father is angry, I have to say it. Of course, I believe that the father is reasonable."
Jia Xu praised: "The prince is wise!"
Lu Yu said: "Sir, we will continue to talk about tax reform and have reached an agreement on this matter."
Jia Xu agreed and returned to the topic, discussing taxes with Lu Yu. After the matter was settled, Jia Xu went to make arrangements while Lu Yu got up and went to the palace. When he entered the palace and saw Lu Xuan, he solemnly said: "Father!"
With a smile on his face, Lu Xuan said, "Why did you want to see your father today? What's the matter?"
Lu Yu said: "There is indeed something that I need to report to my father."
Lu Xuan said: "Let's talk and listen."
Lu Yu looked serious and said quickly: "I am reporting back to my father about the fact that Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing and others went to Huashi City in Xiangzhou. This incident aroused great public opinion in Nanjing City and even had an impact on the court. It’s also huge.”
Lu Xuan was a little curious and asked: "What's going on? I'm just poaching a few people to go to Xiangzhou. What's the impact?"
Lu Yu said: "Father, the thing is like this. There are many veterans in the court, and there are also many elderly celebrities and scholars in the local area. These elderly people all hope to leave a miracle doctor, so that they can cure diseases and save people. .”
"This point, after much thought, does make sense. For example, in the Five Classics Hall, there are great scholars such as Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Guan Ning, etc., all of whom are getting older. There are also Prime Minister Zhang, Prime Minister Yan and Mrs. Jia. Fu and others are not young anymore.”
"The treatment of these people still requires someone who can truly treat illnesses and save lives."
"If both Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing leave, the impact will be too great. In fact, the hospital may fall apart. A miracle doctor must be in charge to gather more people."
Lu Yu cupped his hands and said, "I think, can one person be left behind to ensure the operation of the hospital here in Nanjing?"
After Lu Xuan heard this, he also frowned suddenly.
I didn't expect this to happen.
Lu Xuan did not answer immediately and said in a deep voice: "Whether this matter is your opinion or the ministers of the DPRK have ideas."
Lu Yu didn't hide anything, and told Zhang Zhao and others about the meeting together, and finally said again: "After thinking about it, I feel that this is indeed the case. Therefore, I also agree with this arrangement. There is still a need for miracle doctors in the country, no more The miracle doctor, after all, lacks some influence."
Lu Xuan thought quickly in his heart.
This was the thought of Zhang Zhao, Kuai Liang, Gu Yong and Yan Xiang, as well as the thoughts of many officials.
However, from Lu Xuan's perspective, he also had his own considerations. Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo were both genius doctors, and they each had different directions. If the two of them can take a trip to Xiangzhou, they can quickly set up a medical system in Xiangzhou.
There is a big difference between someone and no one.
In addition, we should also discuss this matter with Zhang Zhao and others, so as to squeeze the civil service system. After all, many things are simple to say, but in practice, they have different results.
Lu Xuan had a plan in mind and said: "Since Zhang Zhao, Kuai Liang, Gu Yong and Yan Xiang have ideas, I will call them all to discuss the matter in detail and finalize the matter."
Immediately, Lu Xuan arranged for someone to deliver the order and summon Zhang Zhao and others.
Lu Yu said: "Father, Emperor Shengming."
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and waited quietly. Not long after, Zhang Zhao came with Kuai Liang, Gu Yong and Yan Xiang. However, Zhang Zhao looked a little nervous because the emperor summoned him again.
