Chapter 902 Guest appearance
“I plan to change Nanxiang Academy into the Royal Academy.”
Although the Prime Minister has a sharp gaze, Governor Feng is as steady as an old dog, at least on the surface.
In fact, if a general who guards the border is recruited in the name of the emperor, even if this is the emperor's intention, the prime minister's office must be notified.
"This is not enough to explain why I didn't get the news when you came back from Liangzhou."
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty knocked harder on the handrail, his eyes became sharper: "This is against the rules!"
The hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly.
“Well, oh, well, weren’t you, Prime Minister, too ill to take charge of the affairs a few days ago? Could it be that the palace was afraid that the Prime Minister would be overworked, so they suppressed it on purpose?”
The two sisters Zhang Xingyi and Zhang Xingcai still have a tacit understanding.
Yesterday he ate food from the palace and slept in the palace last night. Governor Feng waited a whole day and night before coming to see the prime minister. The loopholes that needed to be fixed had long since been filled.
Many people believe that Adou had no rights at all in the era of Zhuge Lao Yao. This is actually a misunderstanding.
In the original history, the prime minister stayed in Hanzhong in his last few years, focusing on the Northern Expedition.
Jincheng, as the rear area, was left to Adou to guard.
Adou was able to order the death of Liu Yan, a veteran minister, which is enough to show that he has considerable power in his hands.
It’s not just as simple as the sacrificial mascot he claims to be.
Of course, before killing Liu Yan, Adou might have asked his father-in-law for his opinion.
For another example, when the prime minister was critically ill, Adou sent his servant Li Fu to ask about the prime minister's successor.
Shang Shu Pu She is the deputy chief of the Shangshu Station and has the power to record documents.
In the Later Han Dynasty, Shangshutai was already the actual center of power.
All important ministers in power in the court must be given the title of "Recorder of Secretariat" in order to have access to secrets.
As a minister, Li Fu was directly ordered by Adou, which also shows that Adou has certain rights.
It’s just that when the little fat man is dealing with things, he often habitually asks his father-in-law what he means.
Especially when the emperor and the prime minister were in Nanzheng, they unconsciously returned to the pattern they had in Jincheng.
Coupled with Zhuge Lao Yao's temperament of "no matter how big or small, he will resolve it personally", it may have a heavier burden than the original history.
So Feng Yongcai persuaded Zhuge Liang to let Adou handle some matters independently.
Of course, Feng Jishi, as an important border general, returned to Hanzhong under the emperor's order.
This matter was not notified to the Prime Minister's Office in advance, which is indeed against the rules.
However, Zhang Xiaosi had already found a scapegoat in advance before Feng Yong set off.
This man is Li Fu, the servant of the minister at the minister's desk.
The reason is also very simple.
Because Li Fu was from an authentic wealthy family in Shu, and he was also one of the first Shu people to seek refuge with the late emperor.
From the perspective of the world, the pattern of three parts of the world in the next few decades has almost been determined.
If the Han Dynasty can conquer Guanzhong and become the power to strengthen Qin, then there will be no need to mention it.
Except for those who made the wrong bet and couldn't turn back, the rest of the Shu family knew how to choose.
The clan leader of the Li family, who had no choice but to turn back, was beaten over and over again.
The sixth house, which has won the treasure, has the intention of running out of Shu and establishing its own business.
The remaining Li family in Shu are in urgent need of a new spokesperson for their interests.
Li Fu is the best choice.
In order to establish a good relationship with King Feng Gui, Li Shangshu Pushe not only took the blame for this.
Even if you send a few legitimate daughters or granddaughters to the Feng Mansion to deepen the sisterly relationship with Li Mu in the sixth room, it will be very happy.
It is a pity that Feng Gui Wang does not seem to be very fond of womanizing Yazi.
A few years ago, some people said that King Feng Gui likes women who have been engaged. I don’t know who created the rumor. Bah!
Does the Li family seem to be short of girls to marry?
What is obviously missing is a girl who likes to be engaged? Can Feng Wen be reconciled? !
This also shows how simple and unpretentious Zhang Xiaosi’s political talent is.
“Anyway, the matter of the Royal Academy is not a big deal. It is understandable that the Prime Minister went out of his way not to let the Prime Minister know when he was seriously ill.”
Governor Feng said lightly, "Besides, isn't it almost the end of the year? I just happen to be back to report on my work."
The Han Dynasty's assessment of local officials was called Shangji.
Regularly submit accounting documents to superiors and report on local governance status.
As the governor of Liangzhou, Feng Yong does not have to come back in person according to the rules, but if he comes back for something, it would make sense to participate in the plan.
The truth is this.
But I always feel like something is wrong.
However, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill and his energy was really low.
I didn’t think deeply about Feng Jishi’s words.
Based on his trust in the emperor and General Feng, the most he could do was to have someone take a look at the document later.
With this mentality in mind, he was quickly diverted by what Feng Yong said:
“Nanxiang Academy changed to Royal Academy?”
"right."
Feng Yong nodded, took another sip of tea calmly, and put his heart in his throat back into his stomach.
Seeing that the Han Prime Minister had a thoughtful look on his face, he pondered for a long time, and then suddenly asked:
“Is there any progress in the Liangzhou examination and talent selection?”
Even though he knew that the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was a bit of a monster, Governor Feng was still shocked:
“How does the Prime Minister know?”
Shouldn’t ordinary people ask “why”?
"As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, if I can't even think of this, wouldn't I be derelict in my duty?"
Zhuge Liang glanced at Feng Yong angrily, "Who doesn't know that if you want to take the Liangzhou exam, Nanxiang Academy is the best way?"
“If the school really becomes a place for the imperial court to cultivate talents, and you don’t hand it over, do you know what the consequences will be?”
Governor Feng curled his lips and said, "Didn't I come back in the cold winter?"
“So I’ve said it before, no matter what I say about you externally, but in terms of seriousness and justice, I believe you are not guilty.”
Zhuge Liang smiled, not sure whether he was satisfied with his own vision or satisfied with Feng Yong:
“It is precisely because of this that I infer that there has been progress in the Liangzhou examination.”
Feng Yong gave a thumbs up: "The Prime Minister is still awesome."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhuge Liang:
“Ma Youchang also went to Liangzhou and changed his name specially. Now he thinks I don’t know!”
As Governor Feng said, he laughed mischievously: "This is the strategy he sent me."
"Oh?" Zhuge Liang heard it, took it, and opened it with interest, "It's a good thing that he didn't lose his ambition in Nanzhong for several years."
Looking at it roughly, he nodded approvingly: "It seems a lot more pragmatic than before."
He and Ma Su were like father and son, and they carefully trained Ma Su for so many years.
Unexpectedly, Ma Su was too unsatisfactory, and his performance in the Longyou battle made the prime minister both sad and extremely disappointed.
Fortunately, Feng Yong came out, which made the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty feel lucky that "what was lost in the east is gained in mulberry trees".
Now that I see that my former apprentice can get back on his feet, I am naturally happy for him.
"Ma Youchang is actually a talented person. If you can get rid of his previous problems, you can try to use it. But you can only try it slowly and don't give him a heavy responsibility suddenly."
Honestly admitting his mistakes, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty has always been open-minded.
Feng Yong smiled:
“Liangzhou takes exams to select talents. Whether they are good or not, you will know after one test.”
Although this is not completely fair, it is relatively fair.
There is no absolute fairness in this world anyway.
Luck is also a part of strength.
Zhuge Liang nodded: "If we can really select good talents with this method, it will be a great thing for the court."
Then he saw Feng Mingwen take another sip of tea, then reach for the teapot, but still had no intention of pouring himself tea.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty suddenly became angry again. He stretched out his hand and slapped Governor Feng on the back of the head:
"You are already an adult with three children, and you don't have any moral education? You only know how to drink it yourself, but you don't know how to pour it for me? You don't even consider me as the prime minister?"
This is what Governor Feng was waiting for!
Rather than pouring tea for Zhuge Liang, he put his tea cup further away, turned around, and put away his smile:
“Prime Minister, actually I have one more thing to do when I come back this time.”
"explain."
“The prime minister’s condition.”
Compared with the previous one which was a little loose, Governor Feng was obviously much more serious this time.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty knew that this was the real purpose of his trip, and he sat up straight:
“What do you want to say?”
Feng Yong thought about his words for a moment and then said slowly:
"Before coming here, I actually asked the doctor in the palace. The prime minister's illness is an old one."
"This time the condition has worsened, accompanied by vomiting blood and difficulty eating and drinking. I would like to ask the Prime Minister, have these symptoms occurred before? Or is it just this time?"
“What you have learned is quite complicated. Is it possible that you also understand medicine?”
Zhuge Liang smiled and asked.
Feng Yong did not answer the prime minister’s joke-like question, but still said seriously:
“Prime Minister, you know your physical condition better than anyone else. If you don’t want to treat it, no one can do anything about it.”
"However, the prime minister, adhering to the late emperor's legacy, wants to revive the Han Dynasty and return it to the old capital. Now a large army of Wei thieves have gathered in Guanzhong, so although Chang'an is in sight, it is still in the hands of the thieves."
“I wonder if the Prime Minister is sure that he can recover Guanzhong before his condition gets out of control? If not, the late Emperor met the Prime Minister underground and asked about the Han Dynasty. Has the Prime Minister thought about how to answer?”
After being silent for a while, Zhuge Liang sighed:
“I am ashamed of my late emperor…”
"Then why didn't the prime minister take good care of him? Even if he can't see the day when the Central Plains is restored, he should at least wait until the day when he returns to the old capital, so that he won't be embarrassed to face the late emperor."
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head:
“As you just said, I know my body better than anyone else. These old diseases have become more serious day by day over the years.”
“In fact, two years ago, I already had vomiting of blood, but I just hid it to prevent others from knowing.”
Feng Yong continued to ask:
“In addition to the conditions mentioned by the Prime Minister and the doctor, I often experience burning pain in my abdomen half an hour after eating. Are there any other conditions?”
“For example, if there is frequent reflux of gas in the stomach, is the arrow pulled out black or even dark red...”
When the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty heard these words, his eyes became strange.
You have to ask about Raya?
But the more Feng Yong behaved like this, the more suspicious the Han Prime Minister became: Could it be that he had really studied medicine?
"The situations you mentioned are indeed true..."
"I know that the Prime Minister has been working too hard. Does he often stay up late?"
“There are many government affairs…”
Feng Yongyong ignored the excuses of the Han Prime Minister and knocked on the tea cup away from the Prime Minister again:
“When the Prime Minister stays up late, does he often drink tea to refresh himself?”
When tea was first made, Feng Yong tricked Zhao Guang once with strong tea and made the guy drink a large pot of tea at night.
Then the next day, because of lack of sleep, this guy was mistaken by Huang Yueying for being overly drunk...
So it’s no secret that tea can refresh you.
Coupled with the fact that Feng Yong deliberately refused to pour tea for the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's reaction, Feng Yong had every reason to believe that the Prime Minister might have been addicted to tea.
Seeing Feng Yong repeatedly asking about the point, Zhuge Liang's face couldn't help but become solemn.
“Yes, this tea soup can not only cultivate the body and nourish the mind, but also refresh the mind. It is a fine drink. I always like to drink it.”
Feng Yong asked seriously:
“Prime Minister, can you think about it carefully? Since you like to drink tea soup, or like to use tea soup to refresh yourself when you stay up late, are the attacks of old diseases in your body becoming more and more frequent?”
Zhuge Liang's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
“Prime Minister, think about it carefully first!” guest doctor Feng Jishi said impatiently, “If the Prime Minister can answer my questions in detail, maybe I can think of something.”
Fan A and Li Dangzhi did not have the courage to question the Han Prime Minister in detail.
There are some issues that Feng Yong still needs to ask himself in order to figure them out.
Dr. Feng hates it when patients talk a lot without getting to the main point.
Don’t you know I’m just a guest star? How can I judge the condition like this?
"When you said it like this, I realized that it was indeed the case. I thought it was because my old illness had been delayed for too long in the past two years and became more serious."
Zhuge Liang said as he recalled, and then looked at Feng Yong with hope in his eyes:
“You are actually good at medicine?”
Feng Yong shook his head: "Prime Minister, after so many years, you still don't understand me? How do I know any medical skills?"
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he felt as if cold water had been poured on his head.
He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm overthinking it."
Sigh, it would be great if God could give me a few more years of life..."
Feng Jishi finally poured himself another cup of tea and took a sip. Then he glanced at the somewhat sad Han Prime Minister and said slowly:
"I don't know much about medicine, but I have seen a person suffering from the same disease as the prime minister."
"Um?"
"This man is from my master's sect. He has a nickname, Jiuye."
“Jiuye?”
Feng Yong nodded: "Yes. Drinking too much strong tea, drinking too much, often staying up late, eating improperly, and thinking too much are all causes of this disease."
“What happened to the wine man later?”
"He's cured." Governor Feng took a leisurely breath of tea foam and said.
The Han Prime Minister’s eyes lit up: “What did you say?!”
Even when the Han Dynasty was in danger, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was calm and unhurried in front of outsiders.
Now that he heard Feng Jishi's words, his breathing became short and even his expression became a little nervous.
"I said that the wine master has been cured. If nothing else happens, he will almost live a hundred years."
“How...how to treat it?”
“Don’t drink tea, don’t drink alcohol, don’t stay up late, don’t work too hard, don’t think too much, eat more meals less, chew slowly and carefully.”
Feng Jishi replied seriously.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty:…
