Chapter 37 second quarter

After Dong took over the emperor's secret edict passed down orally, he immediately acted urgently.The seven people who formed the alliance by blood, Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang, returned to Xiliang, and the emperor's uncle Liu Bei supported Xuzhou after rebelling against Cao Cao, leaving five people in Xudu.On this day, in the name of celebrating his birthday, Dong Cheng invited the other four people to the house to plot together at night.At this moment, Dong Cheng paced back and forth in the study room of the academy.Boiled wine and fruit products have been arranged in the study room. Wang Zifu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wei Zhongji of Changshui School, and Wu Shuo, Yilang have arrived. Shan is waiting for General Zhaoxin Wu Zilan.

Dong Cheng said anxiously: "Why hasn't General Wu Zilan arrived yet?" The few people who arrived first had been planning for a while, but they didn't see any clues, and they were all frowning. At this time, a sedan chair was galloping through the streets at night in the cold winter, and stopped in front of the uncle's mansion, and the servants of the sedan chair waited for General Zhaoxin Wu Zilan to get off the sedan chair.As Wu Zilan climbed up the steps, she pointed to the lantern with the word "Dong" hanging at the gate of the house to the servants who came along and said: "You wait in a remote place far away. Once you see this lantern, take it off and put it on again, immediately Come and pick me up." The servant nodded and led the sedan chair away.As soon as Wu Zilan arrived at the gate, her slave Qin Qingtong greeted her and said: "General Zhaoxin, Uncle Guo and all the adults who came first are all in the study, but I have to send General Wu, Master Wu." As he spoke, he led Wu Zilan hurriedly through the pavilion and across the courtyard to the The gate of the academy.

Qin Qingtong said: "My lord, please come in. The slave will not enter the academy as ordered by Uncle Guo." Wu Zilan entered the academy with a two-axis painting in her hand, and opened the door to enter the study.Dong Cheng was pacing, stopped and said: "You are a Confucian general with all-round talents in civil and military affairs. You are General Zhaoxin, why are you late?" Wu Zilan put the scroll painting under his arm, and said to everyone: "Wu is late, I'm sorry. " Dong Cheng said: "Seven people signed the blood alliance. Now the prefect of Xiliang Ma Teng and the emperor's uncle Liu Bei, one is in Xiliang in the west, and the other is in Xuzhou in the east. There is no news, and there is no progress on the outside. There are five people waiting for me on the inside. After receiving the blood edict for several months, nothing has been achieved. Recently, His Majesty summoned the head of state to enter the palace, and came to my mansion to deliver a secret decree. His Majesty said that because of this matter, it is "difficult to sleep at night, difficult to eat every day, and anxious." He blamed us, " Who is unable to share the worries of the emperor, what is a minister of the country? What is a man of loyalty and righteousness?" His Majesty returned the secret decree, "The edict has been issued for several months, but no merit has been achieved. Where is the loyalty? Where is the sincerity? Where is the wisdom? Bravery Where is it?" His Majesty finally asked us, "I haven't eaten a grain of rice for two days. If you are a minister, if you live in peace and do nothing, what face do you have to face the ancestors of heaven and earth?""

As soon as the four people heard the secret decree relayed by Dong Cheng, they immediately got up and bowed to the north. Prince Fu said: "Your Majesty, I really have no face to face the ancestors of heaven and earth." Zhong Ji said: "I have been ordered for several months and have not made an inch of merit. I really have to ask myself, where is loyalty? Where is sincerity? Where is wisdom? Where is courage? Where?" Wu Shuo said: "Your Majesty has not eaten a grain of rice for two days, and ministers and others cannot share the worries of the emperor. Everyone, come here for a while to discuss important matters. Get up, everyone, it is useless to bow down and blame yourself, and it is useless to worry." Several people got up.Wang Zifu said: "I have been under the blood order for several months, but I haven't made an inch of merit, and my hair is grey." Chong Ji beat his thigh hard, and said: "I am also worried every day, and I have smashed my family's case." Wu Shuo said: "I've been thinking about this day and night, and I don't know where to start. The Cao thief is getting more and more careful, and there is no gap." Dong Cheng said with a frown: "Now I understand that it is easy to kill one's life and become a benevolent, and both wise and brave succeed." Difficult." He looked at Wu Zilan and said, "General Zhaoxin Wu Zilan, you are the only one who is late today, you are the only one who listened to His Majesty's oral instructions without saying a word, and the only one who didn't say a word of sorrow."

Wu Zilan laughed: "What's the use of worrying? I came a step late, and I have a mature plan to present to you gentlemen. You must first offer me a toast. If you are polite, I will come up with a clever plan." Everyone stared at him for a while.Zhong Ji first said: "It's not difficult to toast, as long as you have a plan, you can do three obeisances and nine kowtows." He poured a glass of wine and raised a toast to Wu Zilan, "A special respect to General Zhaoxin Wu Zilan, Zhongji is polite." Wu Zilan took the cup Drank it down.Seeing that the matter seemed real, Wang Zifu also poured a glass of wine to toast: "Prince Fu also pays special respects to Brother Wu Zilan, General Zhao Xin, for a glass, and saw Brother Wu's clever plan." Wu Zilan took it without hesitation, and poured it all down.Wu Shuo also followed, and poured a toast: "This cup is dedicated to General Zhaoxin Wu Zilan, Wu Shuo has the courage to ask for advice." Wu Zilan took the wine as usual and drank it down.Seeing this situation, Dong Cheng also poured out a glass of wine to respect.Wu Zilan stretched out her hand: "Uncle Guo, no respect, three cups are enough." Then, Wu Zilan took out one of the two scrolls of calligraphy and painting that had been placed on the table after entering the door, and unfolded it loudly, and when the wall was hung : "Here's the trick!" Several people were surprised when they saw it: there were no words or pictures, and it was completely blank.Wu Zilan said: "Bring the brush and ink." Dong Cheng and the others immediately took the brush, placed the inkstone, poured water and studied the ink.Wu Zilan picked up a brush and dipped it in ink and said: "I dare not draw this painting in advance, I am afraid of losing it and revealing the secrets of the heavens when I bring it along the way. There are books and paintings here, and the plan to destroy Cao is all in it." As she spoke, she brushed a few strokes and wrote on the banner Outline a full-body portrait of a person: "Look, everyone, who is this person painting?"

Dong Cheng and the others looked at it and said, "Isn't this the imperial physician Ji Ping?" Wu Zilan said: "It's him. The only way to kill Cao is to let this person kill Cao thief. Didn't my uncle say that every time Cao thief had a headache, he would ask Ji Ping to see a doctor. If Cao thief got sick again, Ji Ping The imperial doctor prescribes medicine and poisons, isn’t it all done? The hero of poison is better than the hero of sword.” Dong Cheng shook his head: "It's absolutely impossible. I've thought about this a long time ago, and I've tried it with Ji Ping, but it doesn't work."

Wu Zilan asked, "Why not?" Dong Cheng said: "Firstly, this person is not moved by money and wealth, he refuses to accept any generous reward from His Majesty. If you want to move his heart, it's like a mosquito bites an iron cow and has nowhere to bite." Wu Zilan immediately added a few words Draw a picture of Ji Ping waving his hand to refuse, and then draw a gold ingot on the upper left blank space of Ji Ping's portrait, and write two big characters next to it: "No!" Wu Zilan said: "First, he doesn't want money and fortune, and treats him like a mosquito bites an iron bull." Nowhere to talk."

Dong Cheng went on to say: "Secondly, from the conversation with this imperial physician, it can be seen that he thinks Cao Cao is not a bad person. He said that Cao Cao enforces the law impartially and uses his son Cao Pi as the prefect of Xudu. Xudu has been governed in the past year and the people have a good reputation. He I don’t think Cao Cao is a national traitor at all.” After Wu Zilan heard this, she immediately drew a head in the blank space in the middle left of Ji Ping’s portrait, and wrote two words on the face: “Cao Cao”, and wrote two words on the side :"not bad".Wu Zilan said: "Secondly, he thinks Cao Cao is not bad, so it is difficult for him to attack Cao Cao."

Dong Cheng said: "Thirdly, this imperial doctor has a way of doing medicine. The so-called "hanging the pot to help the world" and "curing the disease to save the patient" must be pure and pure. He has nothing to do with the world's political situation and will not intervene." Wu Zilan went to Jiping again. Draw the outline of a palace with a few strokes in the lower left blank space, and then write a few words: "I don't care about the political situation." Finally, Wu Zilan put down her pen and said to Dong Cheng: "You think it is difficult for Ji Ping to be persuaded to attack Cao Cao. For these three reasons, Right?" Dong Cheng said, "Yes."

Wu Zilan said: "If these three reasons are solved one by one, wouldn't it be a success?" Dong Cheng said: "Easier said than done!" Wu Zilan said: "If you want a person to believe what you say, you must first make him believe in you; and the most common way to make him believe in you is to benefit his interests. For those who are tempted, Huili’s path will not work. The so-called mosquito bites an iron bull and has nowhere to bite. But there is another extraordinary path. Most people in the world trust those who have helped them, but some people do the opposite. He believes Those who have helped people like Ji Ping, who do you trust the most, do you know?" Several people stared at Wu Zilan.Wu Zilan said: "A person with high medical ethics like this often trusts the patients he has treated the most. Therefore, we must first become the patients he treated, so that we can move his heart and gain his trust."

Everyone couldn't keep up with their train of thought, and they all looked at Wu Zilan inexplicably. Wu Zilan then pointed to the painting and said: "With the first point, we can do the second and third points, to convince the imperial physician Ji Ping that Cao Cao is not not bad, but very bad; More attention should be paid to the political situation in the world, this is the greatest benefit to the world by saving the lives of the common people. If one, two, and three are resolved one by one, the hero of poison will be created naturally, and the great success of destroying Cao will be accomplished." Dong Cheng said: "Brother Wu's words are vague and incomprehensible. Can you elaborate on how to convince Ji Ping imperial physician?" Wu Zilan picked up the second scroll painting that she brought over, unfolded it, and hung it next to the full-body portrait of Ji Ping: "Look, what kind of painting is this?" When everyone saw it, it was a painting of "Great Mother Zeng" "Picture of throwing sticks over the wall": text on the left and three pictures on the right.Wu Zilan drew out her sword, pointed to the picture and said, "Everyone knows this allusion, I will recite the full text as follows first." Then, pointing to the words written on the scroll with the sword line by line, he read aloud: "The old man Zeng Zi dealt with Fei, and the Fei people killed people with the same name as Zeng Zi. They told Zeng Zimu, "Zeng Shen killed people." Zeng Zimu said, "My son doesn't kill people." "His mother is still weaving freely. After a while, another person said: "Zeng Shen killed someone." Her mother was afraid, so she threw the stick over the wall and left." Wu Zilan said after reading: "Mother Zeng heard that his son had killed someone. Believe it or not, you are still weaving calmly, this is the first picture." He pointed to the top picture, which showed a person talking to his mother, who was still weaving as if no one was there after listening.Wu Zilan went on to say: "The second person said that his son killed someone, but she still didn't believe it, and continued to weave calmly." He pointed to the second picture.Wu Zilan continued to point her sword down: "The third time someone said that her son had killed someone, she believed it, got scared, and jumped over the wall and ran." Wu Zilan pointed at the third picture with her sword, and said: "Zengmu left the weaver Deploy the machine, jump over the wall and escape." Everyone looked and looked.Wu Zilan said: "Do you understand what I mean?" Everyone was still comprehending Wu Zilan's train of thought. Dong Cheng said: "It's still careless." Wu Zilan said: "I still don't understand. If you say anything, you don't believe it, if you say it, you still don't believe it, and if you say it, you don't believe it." Dong Cheng said: "I disagree with him at the first sentence. Wouldn't it be more rebellious if you speculate again and again?" Wu Zilan said, "I have a clever plan." As he spoke, he beckoned everyone to sit down and get closer, and he explained in a low voice.Heads tied together, everyone listened intently. At this time, the house slave Qin Qingtong quietly approached the study window, licked a small hole in the broken window paper with the tip of his tongue, and peeped in. Wu Zilan finally said softly to everyone: "You have to split up into three groups to follow this plan. If this plan fails, I will prepare to be an assassin myself. When I go to court, I will stab with a sharp knife in my arms." As soon as the twelfth lunar month was over and the new year was just over, several people began to implement the "Great Mother Throwing a Rod Over the Wall". On the first day, Prince Shilang served and invited Imperial Physician Ji Ping to see a doctor at home. After Ji Ping entered the mansion, he saw Wang Zifu and asked: "What's wrong with Mr. Wang?" , and said: "Many years ago, I suffered from a serious illness, which was cured by Imperial Physician Ji himself." When Ji Ping heard this, his face immediately became friendly, and he said: "That time, Mr. Wang was suffering from liver disease." Wang Zifu said: "This time It's getting worse." He took off his hat, pointed at his white hair and said, "Look, I've been restless for a year, and my hair has turned white." Ji Ping said, "Why is it so serious?" He stretched out his hand He touched Wang Zifu's wrist, took his pulse briefly, and said: "Master Shi Lang is emotionally disturbed, and his heart is stagnant." Wang Zifu said: "Doctor Ji is right, it is really depressed emotionally, can it be cured?" Ji Ping said: "You can take half of the medication, and the other half depends on an old saying, heart disease needs to be healed by heart medicine. You have heart disease." Wang Zifu shook his head and sighed, hesitant to speak.Ji Ping said: "If it's not very difficult to say about the privacy of the family, but it's okay. I have helped many people get rid of their heart problems." Slightly startled: "What do you mean, Mr. Wang?" Wang Zifu stood up and took two steps, then stopped and said: "The world is ruled by wicked people, how can an upright person be happy?" When Ji Ping heard this, he lowered his eyes, paused for a while, and said, "It seems that Mr. Wang refers to Prime Minister Cao." Wang Zifu said, "How does the imperial doctor know?" In all fairness, Prime Minister Cao's merits outweigh his demerits; not to mention anything else, Xu Du's appointment of Cao Pi as prefect in the past year has really changed his appearance, and the people's reputation is very good." After Wang Zifu listened, he shook his head again and again, and then sighed: "Doctor Ji, you are a kind person, and you are a good person with a kind heart. The world is the most evil, and you must do small good and pretend. My prince There is no hatred or enmity with Cao Cao, why do you hate him so much, and you are so depressed that your beard and hair turn white within a year? People are short-sighted and easily deceived by small favors; how do you know that when the wicked are in power, the country is already in trouble." Ji Ping listened, After a while, he said: "Master Ruo Wang is not many people who are jealous of the status quo." Wang Zifu waved his hands again and again: "Mr. There are few outspoken people like me, but there are many cynics." Ji Ping took out the prescription note from the medicine box, and said while writing: "Ji doesn't know much about current affairs, and he doesn't know much about it." Dare to ask more. The way of medicine is only to cure diseases and save people. Mr. Wang will get better if he takes the medicine according to this prescription." Wang Zifu nodded and said: "The imperial physician came to see a doctor in the poor house. I, Wang, am still very grateful." Then he sighed, "Just now I thought of something, so let's not talk about it." As he spoke, he got up slightly, as if to see off the guests. Ji Ping said: "Your Majesty Wang, it's okay to be blunt. You can spit out the words that are stuck in your throat." Wang Zifu sighed: "The book of Confucius and Mencius, the imperial physician Ji must have read it. The way of governing the world is better than the way of medicine. If the wicked are in power, if they don't be eradicated, how many people are as depressed and depressed as Wang Zifu? As a doctor, can you cure it?" At this point, Wang Zifu shook his head again and again: "I have talked too much, and I can only look at the ocean as a servant of the Ministry of Industry, how can I ask you to be a doctor." Standing up to see off the guests, he said again and again: "I will take the imperial physician's prescription." He personally sent Ji Ping to the gate and waved goodbye. As soon as Wang Zifu returned to the living room, Wu Zilan said to his face, "Brother Wang is doing well." Then he pointed to the screen in the corner and said, "I listened very hard from behind." Wang Zifu said, "It was just according to Brother Wu's instruction. First, you must bring up the past again. It is he who has cured the patients. Second, you must hesitate to speak before letting go. After sighing, he will never speak without asking. Third, once you open your mouth, you must Straightforward, straight to the point. Cao Cao is a bad guy in power. The way of politics is greater than the way of medicine. Break his two stereotypes." Wu Zilan said excitedly, "I will immediately tell them about Brother Wang's performance, and make persistent efforts." Another day, Yilang Wu Shuo invited Ji Ping to see a doctor in his mansion. The servant led Ji Ping in and reported, "Doctor Ji is here." Wu Shuo lay there and said, "Please." Ji Ping came in with the medicine box. Seeing this scene, he asked, "Why is Master Wu so bedridden?" Wu Shuo asked his servant to raise the pillow, half-lying and half-sitting, and said: "The bed can still be laid down, but every day when I come back from the morning, I am exhausted, so I can lie down as long as I can." Ji Ping nodded, took Wu Shuo's wrist, and asked: "What's wrong with you recently?" Wu Shuo sighed, "It's not just recently, it's because I've been restless for a year." Ji Ping raised his eyes and said, "Another sleepless night." Wu Shuo asked, "Which one else has restless sleep?" Ji Ping said : "I just saw an adult recently, and he was restless." He didn't say the name of the prince's suit.Wu Shuo sighed again: "There must be a lot of people who are restless. If the sun doesn't come out, wouldn't it be dark for thousands of households?" Ji Ping heard that there was something in the words, and he glanced at Wu Shuo without asking. At this time, the servant came in again and reported: "Mr. Zhongji, the captain of Changshui School, is here to visit." Wu Shuo said, "Please." Shaking his head, he said, "I've heard of it, but I've never met him." Wu Shuo said, "It's the most rare straight person." Just as he was speaking, Zhong Ji came in under the guidance of his servants.Wu Shuo introduced: "This is Changshui Xiaowei Zhong Jizhong, my dear friend." Ji Ping stood up and saluted: "I have long admired your name." Wu Shuo introduced Ji Ping again: "This is the famous imperial physician Ji Ping Ji. My father was seriously ill in the past, and it was all thanks to the doctor Ji who cured the disease and brought him back to life." Zhong Ji immediately bowed his hand and returned the gift: "I have admired the name of the doctor Ji for a long time. Although I have not asked the doctor Ji to see him, but the doctor Ji is superb in medical skills, and he has rejuvenated his hands. He has long been famous. Yang Tianxia, ​​I have several good friends who were saved by Ji imperial physician." Then, he and Ji Ping courteously sat down beside Wu Shuo's bed. Zhong Ji opened his mouth and said harshly: "I said Brother Wu, your illness is a heart disease, how can you take medicine to treat it?" Wu Shuo said: "I only invited the imperial physician here as a last resort." Zhongji slapped his thigh, pointed to Wu Shuo and said to Ji Ping, "His illness is purely caused by the depression of the evil people. That man is on stage, and tens of thousands of people suffer from it." Illness; once that person is cured, thousands of people will be cured of disease; doesn't Ji Taiji know who that person is?" Ji Ping thought for a while: "Master Zhong said..." Zhong Ji said: "I'm talking about handmade wood. "Ji Ping was surprised: "Who is Shoupinmu?" Zhongji said in a rough voice: "Emperor Ji doesn't even know this. What is a handle, a character character, and a wooden character?" Ji Ping Suddenly said: "It's calligraphy." Wu Shuo half-lyed and half-sit on the bed and said: "Master Zhong, let's talk less. Talking about this person is the number one taboo in the dynasty." Zhong Ji said angrily: "If you can do it for the world In addition to this harm, I have no regrets even though I die." Then he looked at Ji Ping and said, "Doctor Ji, if a heart disease like Mr. Wu's is not cured, can just drinking medicine do it?" Ji Ping hesitated and said: "Yes Difficult." Zhong Ji said: "Physician Ji, I'm a straightforward person, so I'll tell you clearly. When a villain like Cao Cao is in power, all the sick people are good people. He is domineering, but he feels happy and can't get sick." Ji Ping said: "Prime Minister Cao will also get sick. He has a headache several times a year, and he always asks me to treat him." Wu Shuo sighed on the bed: "Such a person is sick and I really shouldn't show him." Zhong Ji took over the words and said, "If I were an imperial physician, if he invited me to see a doctor, I would definitely show him. I'll give him some of this in his medicine." He rubbed his fingers together and made a gesture of poisoning, " To let him die is to do justice for the heavens and to leave a name for all ages." Wu Shuo hastily stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Zhong Ji talked too much. Imperial physician Ji is a person who concentrates on medical treatment and does not get involved in these court politics." Zhong Ji said "As soon as I opened my mouth, I ran a horse-drawn carriage on the street, straight to and fro." He said to Ji Ping, "Doctor Ji, you said that evil people are sick to everyone. No matter how good your medical skills are, can you cure them one by one? If someone can With the removal of the wicked, wouldn’t it mean that all diseases will disappear?” After saying this, he bowed his hands to Ji Ping again and again: “It’s the first time I meet with Imperial Physician Ji, I hope you can forgive me for speaking so rudely.” Ji Ping kept his eyes down and said nothing at this moment, "It might as well." Wu Shuo said: "It's better for Imperial Physician Ji to pretend that he didn't hear these words of brother Zhong, and spread the word to destroy the nine clans." Ji Ping had already taken out the prescription note from the medicine box, and while writing the prescription, he said, "Master Wu, please don't worry. , I will keep my mouth shut." Then he left the prescription, put away the medicine box, told Wu Shuo to take the medicine according to the prescription, got up and left.Wu Shuo asked his servants to see off the guests, and Zhong Ji also stood up to send Ji Ping to the courtyard before stopping. He cupped his hands and said goodbye: "I have heard that the imperial physician is upright, so Chong dares to speak so boldly. I'm sorry." Ji Ping shook his head with some concern, "Don't be sorry, I knew that General Zhong is a man of temperament." In the house, seeing Ji Ping gone, Wu Zilan came out from the next door and said to Wu Shuo, "You two did a good job today." Wu Shuo got off the bed, stood up and said, "Brother Zilan planned it all." 'Mother Zeng's trick of throwing a stick over the wall' is wonderful." At this time, Zhongji also came back to see off the guests.Wu Zilan praised him again: "Brother Zhong performed well today." Zhong Ji said bluntly: "It's all the truth, what's so difficult about acting the real thing." Wu Zilan said: "Okay, now someone has spoken to Zengmu for the second time. When she said 'Zeng Shen killed someone', Zeng's mother could still be calm. She said it again and again, but she walked over the wall. The next thing is to see how the uncle of the country ends. If you want the imperial physician to prescribe the medicine for Cao thief, you must first prescribe the imperial physician! " A few days later, Dong Cheng invited Ji Ping to the mansion to see a doctor. At night, when there was light snow on the street, Ji Ping came to Dong's mansion in a sedan chair.When Ji Ping climbed up the steps after getting off the sedan chair, he never noticed that someone was watching people entering and leaving Dong's mansion in a hidden place diagonally opposite.He naturally didn't know that he was also under surveillance when he entered and exited the Prince's Fu Mansion and Wu Shuo Mansion a few days ago.He said to the guard: "Please report to the uncle of the country that Ji Ping is called to see a doctor." The guard said: "My uncle has already ordered you to come in." Walk through the pavilion all the way to the study room of the academy.Dong Cheng was leaning on the table and dozing there, when he heard that Doctor Ji arrived, he stood up to greet him.Ji Ping put down the medicine box and wanted to salute.Dong Cheng supported him with both hands: "The imperial doctor is exempt from courtesy." Ji Ping saw Dong Cheng and said, "The last time I saw Guojiu in the palace, I felt that my complexion was not good. Today, when I looked closely, I found a sick face." Dong Cheng asked Ji Ping sat down, and Ji Ping sat down next to Dong Cheng, stretched out his hand to take the pulse on Dong Cheng's wrist, shook his head and sighed: "Qi is stagnant and blood is deficient, life gate fire is declining, uncle Guo is indeed very ill." Dong Cheng sighed: "I had one or two sudden illnesses in the past, thanks to the imperial physician's skillful hand to rejuvenate me. This time I have been restless for a long time, and I know I am sick, so there is no other way except to ask the imperial physician Ji." Ji Ping also sighed slightly: "There are so many people in today's world who are restless, it seems that they must be sick." Dong Cheng sighed again, and asked: "Physician Ji, I have something to ask. Why do people have physical diseases when they have a heart disease?" Tanzhong, spleen, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, kidney, triple energizer, and bladder are twelve organs. Among them, "the heart is the official of the monarch, and the gods come out of it", which means that the heart is like the monarch of the same country, and the gods come out of it. He also said, 'If the master is clear, the world will be safe, but if the master is not clear, the world will be in danger', which means that the heart is the king, and the whole body can be safe if the mind is clear, and if there is something wrong with it, the whole body will fail." Dong Cheng heard this. The words sighed: "The principle of mind and body is really the same as the principle of the world. If the king of a country is not clear, or if the king's knowledge is obscured by the ministers who exercise power, then the officials and the people will all be sick, and the world will be uneasy." Ji Ping never thought that he would talk about both medicine and politics, and he was speechless for a while. Dong Cheng asked again: "Can the physical disease caused by this heart disease be cured?" Ji Ping said: "Medicine can cure three to five points. The root of the heart disease needs to be cured." Dong Cheng asked: "I want to save people, but there is nothing I can do. The imperial physician once Do you feel uncomfortable?" Ji Ping said: "Of course I do." Dong Cheng sighed, stood up and paced, and said as he walked, "Then please ask the imperial doctor for a prescription. It may save me a little bit. I want to save my life. There is nothing you can do about a person’s illness, but they can’t recover from it, they can’t accomplish anything, and they suffer from their own mental illness.” As he spoke, he sat down and sighed again. Ji Ping took out the medicine note to write the prescription, and said, "Uncle Guo has something to say, but it's okay to say it." Dong Cheng shook his head: "I have nothing to say." He just sighed.Ji Ping wrote the prescription, put down his pen, and asked: "Does Uncle Guo want to say that wicked people are in power?" Dong Cheng looked shocked: "How do you say that?" Ji Ping said: "Uncle Guo has something to say, there is no need to hide it. Dong Cheng quickly said: "Prime Minister Cao is in power today, and the overall situation should be good. If anyone is worried, it is nothing but unfounded worry." Ji Ping also sighed, and said: "Is your uncle the truth or a lie? "Dong Cheng was stunned for a while, then sighed and said, "Who dares to tell the truth nowadays?" Ji Ping said: "Uncle Guo just said that Prime Minister Cao governs impartially. Is it a lie?" Dong Cheng looked at Ji Ping, hesitating.Ji Ping said: "Uncle Guo doesn't trust me as a man, Ji Ping?" Dong Cheng said: "Now that he is in power, do people dare to speak ill of him?" Ji Ping was stunned for a while, then said: "It seems that Prime Minister Cao governs impartially. Nine are all lies?" Then, he looked at Dong Cheng questioningly.Dong Cheng sighed: "I don't need to point out these words, the imperial physician has his own lessons." Ji Ping asked: "Uncle Guo just lamented that nothing has been accomplished. I don't know what Uncle Guo wants to do?" Dong Cheng looked up to the sky and sighed: "If you want to save the country, you can't save it. If you need to save the country, you can't save it. It's really impossible to face the ancestors of the world." As he said, he raised his sleeves to cover his face, and wept bitterly.Ji Ping watched helplessly, and after a while he said: "Uncle Guo, although Ji is a doctor, he has not forgotten Han, so please don't hide any plans." Dong Cheng hid his tears for a while, wiped away his tears, shook his head and said : "It has nothing to do with the imperial doctor, you should treat the disease with peace of mind. You don't need to participate in the matter of getting rid of the first evil and curing the diseases of thousands of people. This matter is too risky." Ji Ping thought for a while with straight eyes, and said: "Ji also I want to do something big, but I don’t know what your Majesty’s opinion is?” Dong Cheng asked: “What have you heard?” Ji Ping said: “No. Ji just felt that if he did such a big thing, he didn’t know whether it was in line with His Majesty’s will or not? , but do it, even if you destroy the nine clans, you will not regret it. The uncle of the country should understand the meaning of Ji's words." Dong Cheng stared at Ji Ping for a moment, stood up and said: "You and I are in the same heart, I have something, please look at it." Said He took out the secret edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and handed it to Ji Ping: "This is your majesty's blood edict. I have received this blood edict for nearly a year, but I have nothing to do, so I became sick with anxiety." Ji Ping opened the blood edict, read it several times, and couldn't help crying . Dong Cheng pointed at the text of the blood edict behind him, and read the last few lines: "Please read Your Majesty's imperial decree: 'Qing is the minister of the country, and my closest relative. I should remember the difficulties of Emperor Gao's business, gather the martyrs who have both loyalty and righteousness, and kill them all." The treacherous party, the restoration of the country, the ancestors are very lucky! Break your fingers and spill blood, write an order to Fu Qing, be careful again and again, don't betray my wishes!' Repeatedly is not enough, be careful again and again, don't disappoint me." Dong Cheng said. He raised his sleeves to cover his weeping.Ji Ping wiped his tears, then packed up the medicine box, got up and said: "Uncle Guo, the important matter is clear, so there is no need to say more. Tomorrow I will go to the prime minister's mansion to see a doctor for Cao Cao. I will treat the 'illness of thousands of people'. Ji Mou Okay, I never discussed it with anyone. If it succeeds, the country is lucky. If it fails, Ji will bear it alone, without any involvement with others, and will never implicate the uncle of the country." Saying goodbye.Dong Cheng personally sent him to the gate of Dong Mansion, and watched him get on the sedan chair in the light snow. Dong Cheng hurried back to the study room of the academy, Wu Zilan had already come out from the inner room, and said excitedly: "Now we can really celebrate with each other." Dong Cheng sighed: "The 'Grandmother Throwing the Rod Over the Wall Plan' set up by Brother Wu is very wonderful. "Wu Zilan said: "The sages once said that we should change our minds and change our minds. We have corrupted Cao Cao again and again, which is to wash the minds and brains of Imperial Physician Ji. Once the mind and brain are washed, we will be different people. Now we are waiting for Imperial Physician Ji to poison us." Killed the traitor." After finishing speaking, Wu Zilan said goodbye.Dong Cheng personally sent Wu Zilan to the gate of the mansion. Dong Cheng stood at the gate of the mansion and watched Wu Zilan go away in a sedan chair with a relaxed expression.When walking back, he called out in a low voice: "Come here." There was no response.He was a little puzzled, walked into the hall and yelled in a low voice: "Come here." Still no response.Dong Cheng's doubts doubled.He thought for a while, and walked through the pavilion to the small courtyard where his concubine Yuanying lived.Entering the courtyard gate, I saw a man and a woman talking quietly with their shoulders crossed.He shouted: "What good thing are you doing?" A man and a woman were so frightened that they both knelt down in fright. It turned out to be the concubine Yuan Ying and the slave Qin Qingtong.Dong Cheng was furious, kicked Qin Qingtong down with one kick, and kicked Yuanying down with another kick, and then shouted: "Come on!"
