This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 98 Bypassing You
Since the confrontation with Taishi Pang, Lu Sen has not been to the morning court.

Although officials and civil and military officials were a little confused, they didn't care too much.

After all, Lu Sen's position and responsibilities actually don't need to go to the court, or that sentence, it doesn't really matter if there is him or not in the court.

But under the court, Lu Sen's importance is self-evident, whether it is fairy fruit or jade bee jelly, they are all valuable things.

Lu Sen has never 'sold' these things, and neither will Yang Jinhua.

It's only a gift... But everyone knows that it's human favors, and favors are the hardest to return.

Even Grand Master Pang, a powerful official who has been in the court for three to forty years, was not angry when Lu Sen scorned him.

That's 'human affection' at work.

After eating so many immortal fruits and jade bee jelly from the Lu family, I couldn't bear this anger.

Similarly, for Lu Sen's failure to go to court, everyone regarded it as not having seen it.

There are even some people who think that a successful Taoist like him should not go to court, for fear of affecting the official family.

In this way, everyone's life goes on as usual, and the common people also watch Xianjia shadow play as usual.

Now Lu Zhenren stopped putting animal films, and began to put some strange things, very unfocused, with a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west.

The day before yesterday, there was a history of the barbarians called Isumer, and the process of their destruction. The gold-shaped imperial mausoleum was really interesting, and a huge eagle with a human head and a dog body was built to guard it.

Today we broadcast War of the Ant Colony.

Not to mention, the ant colony war is actually very appealing to the Song people, and they saw the prototype of the war between the two countries.

There will even be some weird stuff, like a demonstration of a special department called chemistry.

It talks about why some people dare to put their hands into the oil pan to make money, why they can display words on white paper, etc.

It just makes a lot of people who pretend to be ghosts lose their jobs.

Some were also driven out of Bianjing.

But the more bizarre things are, the more people love to see them.

Because curiosity is a human instinct.

Most people don't know the hidden meaning of Lu Sen's move, but there are still a few people who can see it.

In the study of the Eight Sages, in addition to him, there are four important court officials.

Bao Zheng, Si Guangma, Pang Taishi and Ouyang Xiu.

"Zhenzhen Lu has already begun to spread the ideas of his master, what are your thoughts?" asked Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of the Eight Sages.

Sima Guang chuckled lightly: "I think it's okay, at least now the people have figured out the tricks of those pretending to be ghosts. He's not trying to instill evil in the people."

Pang Taishi echoed: "I also think that the Eight Sages are too worrying about the world. Lu Zhenren is very well-organized, at least he did not spread inappropriate remarks."

Seeing that the two did not agree with his statement, the Eight Sages said to Bao Zheng, "Xiren, what do you think?"

"No idea for now." Bao Zheng squinted his eyes, looking very bored: "As the two of them said, there is nothing wrong with Lu Zhenren."

"But he has already begun to spread the essence of his master's sect."

"It's not a bad thing." Bao Zheng's tone was very gentle.

The Eight Sages were stunned for a moment, Bao Zheng's disobedience to him made him a bit shocked.

The two are best friends.

Others looked at Bao Zheng and the Eight Sages with strange expressions.

This time the party was unhappy.

Because the two of them lived not far away, Bao Zheng and Pang Taishi were on the same road at this time.

The current security situation in the capital of Bian is very good. There are the Kaifeng Mansion's arresting and patrolling, and Marshal Mu is patrolling with dozens of soldiers every day.

Even Bawang's meal didn't dare to eat indiscriminately.

It turned out that the capital of Bian was extremely prosperous, but now that the security has improved, it has become even more prosperous.

Pang Taishi looked at the shop on his left. After a while, Bao Zheng, who was walking side by side with him, asked, "Xiren, don't you think the Eight Sages have been a little abnormal recently?"

Bao Zheng was silent for a while, and after walking a short distance, he said, "Perhaps the Eight Sages are in a bad mood."

"It's really in a bad mood." Pang Taishi smiled and said, "Don't you think he's targeting Lu Zhenren?"

"It's not surprising, the same is true for this government. Last year, the news of Lu Zhenren was suppressed for a whole year."

"It's different, Xiren, you suppressed the news of Lu Zhenren because you were afraid that Lu Zhenren would mislead the public." Pang Taishi smiled: "But the Eight Sages targeted Lu Zhenren for other reasons."

"What consideration?"

"Zhenzhen Lu and the Prince of Runan got close."

Bao Zheng frowned: "The Eight Sages are definitely not such a narrow-minded person."

"Bao Fu Yin, not everyone is like you, no matter who you are facing, you have the courage to treat everyone equally." Pang Taishi said as he walked, "The reason why the Eight Sages is worthy is because he was an official. My adoptive father, if you hadn't solved the case of 'civet cat for prince', the official family would still call him the father king. People will have feelings after getting along for a long time. Judging from the previous situation, the Eight Sage Kings were indeed the king. Officials raised them like their own sons."

Bao Zheng was stunned and did not speak.

But he had to admit that Pang Taishi made a lot of sense.

"I said before that if you want to win over Zhenren Lu, you can marry Princess Fukang to him, but the official family refused." Pang Taishi continued.

Bao Zheng shook his head slightly: "Of course, Zhenren Lu already has a wife. If Princess Fukang wants to marry her, she can only be a concubine, otherwise, you will have to force Zhenren Lu to divorce his wife. Officials who govern the country with benevolence will never make such absurd acts. , the matter of breaking up the mandarin ducks."

After hearing this, Pang Taishi raised the corners of his mouth and seemed to smile even more happily: "So the Eight Sages are anxious, although the official family already has a crown prince, but the crown prince's health is very poor, and it is all hanging by the fruit of Lu Zhenren. And Lu Zhenren He also has a good relationship with the Prince of Runan County, you must know that Zhao Shu, the son of the Prince of Runan County, also served as the Crown Prince for a period of time."

When Bao Zheng heard this, his expression was very helpless. He didn't like such things.

"So, it's time for you to stand aside, Fu Yin Bao." Pang Taishi cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I've already arrived at the door, so I won't send you off. I'll see you tomorrow."

After all, turn around and leave.

Bao Zheng watched Pang Taishi's back disappear behind the Zhumen, and stood there for a while before slowly walking again.

After half a column of incense, Bao Zheng returned to Kaifeng Mansion. He looked at the file, but he went back and forth for a long time and didn't read a word.

Pang Taishi's words kept ringing in his ears.

Bao Zheng has an excellent relationship with the Eight Sage Kings. He does not want the Eight Sage Kings to fail in the evening because of this matter.

Because he personally thinks that there is really no problem with Lu Zhenren's work, and he dare not say that he dares to serve the people, but he is also indifferent to the world, and he definitely does not mean to support Zhao Shu to fight for the throne.

He wanted to persuade the Eight Sages, but he couldn't find a suitable way. Although the Eight Sages had a good character, his true temperament was actually very stubborn, and he would hardly change what he believed.

Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside the street. At a strange time, he saw the deputy chief hunter Wang Chao jogging in.

"What happened outside?" Bao Zheng asked.

"I heard that Lu Zhenren has already built a 'Rejuvenation Sanatorium' on the side of a low mountain to treat intractable diseases."

Bao Zheng's eyes widened: "Is Lu Zhenren planning to compete with the palace for fame and imitating Tian's behalf?"

No wonder Bao Zheng thinks so, no matter what profession he is now, if he does too much 'good things', he will be so dreaded.

Then he looked at the dynasty: "Take someone to find out about this matter, and report back at night."

The dynasty took orders to go out, and in the middle of the night, the news about Lu Sen building a big yard on the side of the low mountain was put on Bao Zheng's desk.

He watched it for a while, and his expression became a little ugly.

The next day in the courtroom, Bao Zheng saw Lu Sen among the people lining up to enter the palace, which was exactly what he wanted, so he waited in the courtroom to question Lu Zhenren why he acted like this.

As a result, three or four officials stood up to impeach Lu Sen without waiting for Bao Zheng to speak out after the morning court began.

This made Bao Zheng extremely satisfied. He felt that these people were good-natured, and they could still speak honestly after eating Lu Zhenren's food.

The Eight Sages also smiled.

However, what happened next greatly exceeded Bao Zheng's expectations. Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair and laughed.

"I already know about this matter, and my Zhao family is also involved in this matter."

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials were a little puzzled.

At the moment, Zhao Zhen explained it to everyone.

It turned out that a few days ago, the Prince of Runan entered the palace quietly, saying that Lu Sen wanted to use the Huichun Banner to treat the people, but he was afraid that he would be accused of 'Tian Shidaiqi', so he joined forces with the palace.

Lu Sen was only responsible for erecting the Huichun banner and building a large yard, while the palace was responsible for confirming who could go there for treatment.

For this reason, the imperial physicians of the Taiyuan Hospital had to recruit about half of the staff to do this work. At the same time, the palace also let half of the imperial physicians give free consultations on weekdays, write out a list, and let people get the medicine.

If it is a disease that even the imperial doctor has no way to do, or if you are acutely ill, you can go to the Huichun Sanatorium in Aishan for treatment with the brand issued by the imperial doctor.

It sounds simple, but there are three procedures for review. Under normal circumstances, only seriously ill patients are eligible to go there for free.

In this way, since the free clinic in the palace and the power to decide who can go to the medical treatment are in the palace, the patient will put seven points of gratitude on Zhao, and Lu Sen will take the remaining three points.

There will be no worries of 'Tian's on behalf of Qi'.

After listening to Zhao Zhen's excited remarks, the civil and military officials were quite surprised. Some of them still had the heart of a child, and they bowed their hands to Lu Sen on the spot to express their admiration.

People's hearts are all fleshy, everyone has relatives and friends, but anyone who is older has not experienced life and death.Lu Sen's fruits and honey can give them a lifeline for these dignitaries.

And this time, the spring flags can give ordinary people a hope.

The so-called saints are nothing more than that.

Only the Eight Sages felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but muttered: "He directly bypassed the Zhongshu Gate and got things done. This is a demonstration to us!"

Lu Sen calmly accepted the thanks of most people, and his expression did not change.

"Zhenzhen Lu has given such a great gift, and he has contributed to the society. How do the Qing family think they should be rewarded?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Civil and military officials discussed a lot, but they did not have a unified opinion.

In the end, it was the Prince of Runan who stood up and said, "Official family, this minister thinks that he can be awarded an honorary title."

The so-called honors refer to special official titles and honors, such as first-class merit and second-class merit.

Bao Zheng's Bachelor of Longtu Gezhi is a civil servant. He has a lot of face. Although he has little real power, he is very strong.

So many people also call him Baolongtu.

And... a lot of kudos.

Bao Zheng's salary for one year is equivalent to an annual salary of nearly [-] million in modern times, and most of the financial subsidies are actually from this Longtuge University Fellowship.

Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, then Feng Tianzhangge straight bachelor, what do the Qing family think?"

"The official Shengming."

No one would have any objection to give Lu Sen an honorary title with no real power but a lot of money.

For what he's done recently, everyone thinks he's worthy of this honor.

Whether it is the enemy soldiers on the giant wheel, or the matter of this rejuvenation sanatorium, in essence, it is Taotian's credit.

It was also from this day that Lu Sen got the nickname 'Lu Tianzhang' again.

…………

…………

Qin Qiang, a commoner in Bianjing, earns a living by selling fish and is called a fish seller by his relatives and friends.

His wife died a few years ago, leaving only a seven-year-old daughter, and the two depended on each other.

It's just that my daughter's health has become bad in the past few years. At first, it was just a simple cough. It gradually turned into a yellow sputum with blood in the sputum. I have seen many doctors and drank an unknown amount of decoction. cannot heal.

Recently, it has developed to the point of hair loss. Now, her seven-year-old daughter is bald on the top of her head, and there is only a little hair growing on the side.

The daughter was in so much pain that she didn't dare to see people. She gradually became skinny, and she had no hair. She looked like a ghost, which was very scary.

In order to save their daughter, the Qin family, which was not wealthy at first, now only has a mud room left for the father and daughter to stay.

But her daughter's condition has not improved in the slightest, and the money is gone.

He is considering whether to sell the last place to stand. Although it is only a mud house, the land price in Bianjing is high, and selling it can make a considerable sum of money for him.

It's enough time for my daughter to treat for two or three years. If it really doesn't work, I will leave Beijing and take my daughter to the countryside for the last time.

Just when he was hesitating, the apprentice in the medical hall suddenly ran over and knocked on the door, shouting excitedly: "Selling fish is strong, take your daughter to Jinshui Street, the official family is benevolent, you can't see the suffering of the world, Send the imperial doctor in the palace to come out for free free consultation."

Royal doctor, free?
If other people do this, the people will be suspicious, for fear of some kind of trap.

But Zhao Zhen is different. His reputation for benevolence is well known and willing to believe.

Even the people of Liao Kingdom know the name of Zhao Zhen's benevolence.

At the moment, Yu Qiang rushed to Jinshui Street with his daughter in his arms.

The imperial doctor was really different. The grey-bearded old man looked like a master. He saw at a glance that his daughter had a strange disease, and gave him a brand.

Selling Yuqiang took the sign, listened to the instructions, and followed a man in armor in a daze to the low mountain outside the city.

This is the dojo of Lu Zhenren, and it is also a well-known thing in Bianjing City.

Then he was taken outside a large and round building, and only after approaching it did he find that this round house was actually built up of wooden blocks.

In the middle of the big room, there is a tall flagpole with a green sailcloth on it, exuding a little green light.

It doesn't look like anything.

"Put your daughter down, give her some dry food, and then you can go." A woman wearing a strange white robe pointed to the inside and said rudely, "The patient's family cannot stay here."

Selling Yuqiang looked at his daughter and was very worried.

"Don't worry, this is a women's room, and under the eyes of Lu Zhenren, who dares to mess around?" The middle-aged woman seemed impatient: "If you don't want to, just leave and leave your position to others. "

Being so frightened, Ma Yuqiang immediately went in with his daughter, and then he found that there were many neat wooden beds in this big house, and many of the beds had women lying on them.

Most of the women were in good spirits, and only a few were sleeping peacefully.

"Don't look around, bed No. 38 in the female room." The woman took a look at the sign selling Yuqiang, then stuffed it back to him, and then pointed to a clean small bed next to her: "Put the person there, and you can Let's go. If you want to bring dry food to the patient, you have to remember her number, number 38, don't forget."

The fish seller nodded again and again, trying to keep the number in his heart.

Then he walked out of the big house and looked back with a dazed expression.

Then he looked up and saw Lu Zhenren's cave dwelling halfway up the low mountain. Suddenly, he had a feeling that his daughter's illness could be cured this time.

Because this place is Lu Zhenren's dojo.

Thanks to the official family, and thanks to Lu Zhenren.

Selling Yuqiang knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the palace, and then three times in the direction of the low mountain.
