Madam, protect me!

"Master Zhang, please get up quickly!"

Li Nuo quickly helped the Minister of Revenue up. People were coming and going outside the embassy, ​​and a grown-up man knelt down on one knee in front of him, which had attracted the attention of many people.

He would not be able to go to Wansong Academy, so he could only go back to the embassy first.

After walking into the small courtyard, Li Nuo looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue and asked, "How is the old lady?"

The Minister of Hube looked happy and said: "It's much better. Mother used to be unable to eat at all and would vomit as much as she ate. Only a few days later, three meals a day returned to normal, and her overall complexion became much better. I just ate three steamed buns and drank two bowls of porridge. I walked without help. I took my maid and a hoe to dig wild vegetables outside..."

He looked at Li Nuo and said with admiration: "Master Li is really a miracle doctor. He cured my mother's disease without prescribing any medicine!"

Li Nuo shook his head and said: "Heart ailments require heart medicine, and I only prescribe the right medicine."

It's not that his medical skills are so good, but that he is well-informed.

The doctors in the fifth realm must have much better medical skills than him, and the medicine here is, to a certain extent, more developed than in later generations.

After all, they are not scientific, and the true energy of the doctors is more effective than any special medicine in later generations.

But this also caused them to rely too much on zhenqi. If there was no zhenqi, many imperial doctors would have to retire on the spot.

And the doctor's true energy cannot cure all diseases.

Mrs. Zhang's health improved because of her love for her son.

Shangshu Hube breathed a sigh of relief and said: "My father has only been gone for half a year. If something happens to my mother... I won't talk about it. Thanks to Brother Li this time, I really don't know how to thank you."

Li Nuo smiled and said: "I am also a doctor. It is a doctor's bounden duty to treat illnesses and save people. You are really welcome, Mr. Zhang."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance said: "It may be just a small thing for you, but it is a very important thing for me. My mother worked hard to raise me, and I also want to be able to support her after I become an official. Serve your old age by your side..."

After speaking, he waved behind him and said, "You two, bring in the gifts."

Two servants came in carrying two wooden boxes.

Li Nuo said quickly: "Master Zhang, this is really not necessary..."

The Minister of Hubu smiled and said: "This is not gold or silver. You have been kind to me, and you must give me a chance to repay your kindness."

He opened one of the wooden boxes and found a guqin inside.

He took out the guqin, placed it on the stone table, and said: "This guqin is a relic of a music master a hundred years ago. It was a gift from a friend. However, I am not good at playing the guqin, so I keep playing it." If you are gathering dust at home, why not take this opportunity to give it to someone who knows how to play the piano..."

Li Nuo stroked the strings, and the strings made several pleasant sounds.

It is worthy of being the product of a music master. The sound of this instrument is the best that Li Nuo has ever seen.

This is no longer an ordinary piano, just like the whip that An Ning gave him before. This piano is also stained with some power of music.

This is what everyone has said, so it would be rude for Li Nuo to refuse.

If you use this piano to take classes at the academy, the effect will be better.

So he nodded and said, "In that case, I will accept it."

Shangshu Hube opened another long wooden box. This was a sword box. In the box was a three-foot-long sword. The scabbard was silver-white and the patterns on it were very soft. It was obviously a women's sword. .

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance said: "This sword was also given by others. I heard that it was a sword made by the Mohist family. I have no use for it. I think my wife is a martial artist, so I will give this sword to my wife."

Song Yiren took the sword, unsheathed it, and gently held a sword flower.

The blade sliced ​​through the air without making any sound.

This shows that this sword is extremely sharp and is indeed a good sword.

For warriors, although their own cultivation is more important than weapons, a good weapon can also add two points of strength out of thin air.

Li Nuo saw that the lady liked the sword very much, so he did not refuse.

The Minister of Hubu asked: "Brother Li was going out just now?"

Li Nuo nodded and said, "I am going to Wansong Academy to teach. Lord Shangshu gave me this piano at the right time."

"That's good." Shangshu of Hubu smiled and said, "I happen to be going to Hubu too, and we are traveling together..."

The two traveled together by car. Li Nuo got off at Wansong Academy, while the Minister of Hubu continued to Hubu.

Zhao Zhiyi got off another carriage and said to Li Nuo: "Master Li is so humble. You can cure a disease that even medical sages are unable to cure with just one sentence. If the imperial doctor in the palace knew about it, I'm afraid he would be ashamed Already..."

Li Nuo, the medical saint in the fifth realm, cannot compare, but in terms of theoretical knowledge, he can still have a chance to compete with the imperial doctors of Zhao.

After all, he took over the Imperial Hospital of Daxia. The imperial doctors each had their own strengths, which also made his knowledge very comprehensive. A single imperial doctor really couldn't compare to him.

It's just that Li Nuo doesn't have the vitality of their medical family.

Facing the sixth princess's praise, Li Nuo just smiled and walked into the academy with her.

Soon after, Zhang Xiang, the Minister of Hubu, also came to Hubu.

His mother's health has improved, and his mood is also very good. He is even more motivated to deal with troubles.

Pile on the desk in the Yamen office are some documents requesting funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Only a small part of this is necessary.

Most of them were cleverly created by various government offices, and if 10% of the funds allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs were actually used, it was considered their conscience. For such discounts, he would take a quick glance at them and knock them aside.

After he knocked down one of the folders, he seemed to remember something and picked it up again.

This note was handed over by Prince Sheng's Mansion. The fourth prince wanted the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate some funds to pay for the establishment of anti-theft departments in various places.

He did not intend to approve this additional expenditure immediately.

Except for disaster relief and military expenditures, every allocation from the Ministry of Household Affairs does not give them the feeling that it is easy to pass.

If every funding is agreed, even doubling the money from the treasury will not be enough.

After being stuck with them two or three times, they will know that funding from the Ministry of Household Affairs is not easy, and they will not apply casually next time.

Faced with the fourth prince's application, he thought about it and approved it.

Brother Li saved his mother's life, and he was the fourth prince's son, so he might as well give him a small favor in this matter.

Prince Sheng's Mansion.

The fourth prince is very proud of himself these days.

His sister went to Daxia and brought him a rare talent in the world.

He didn't have to do anything, and political achievements would come to him on his own initiative. This made him who had no hope for the throne ignite the fire of hope again in his heart.

What makes him even more proud is that he doesn't have to pay anything to recruit such a capable talent.

Several other princes gave money, beauties, and mansions in order to recruit counselors, but they didn't see those people making much contribution to them.

And without any effort, they can get talents who are more powerful than them to defect to them.

Could this be destiny?

At this time, a figure ran in from outside and said: "Your Highness, good news, good news!"

King Sheng raised his eyebrows, another good news?

There is so much good news these days...

A smile appeared on his face and he said, "What's the good news?"

The man said: "Back to Your Highness, the one hundred thousand taels of silver we applied for has been approved by the Ministry of Finance."

King Sheng was slightly startled and said in astonishment: "So fast?"

When did he apply for funding from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Household Affairs did not block him for several months...

Not only that, he wanted 100,000 taels, but he had to go through many twists and turns. The Ministry of Revenue only agreed to allocate 5,000 taels. Every time he asked for money from the Ministry of Revenue, it was a headache.

What happened this time? Why did that tough guy suddenly become so generous?

Zhao Zhiyi walked in from outside the palace, heard their words, and murmured: "It seems that Zhang Shangshu deliberately sold us a favor..."

King Sheng looked at her and asked doubtfully: "Favor, what kind of favor?"

Zhao Zhiyi smiled slightly and told him the whole story.

King Sheng was stunned when he heard this. After he came to his senses, he said with a smile: "Can it still be like this? Zhiyi, Zhiyi, you really brought a lucky star to the emperor this time. Master Gongsun's death was so worth it..."

Zhao Zhiyi frowned and said, "Master Gongsun sacrificed his life for you, how can you say that about Master Gongsun!"

King Sheng said quickly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made a mistake..."

In his heart, he was very grateful to Master Gongsun.

It was her sacrifice of herself that brought him a huge turning point.

However, what he couldn't figure out was that Master Gongsun was very kind to Zhiyi, but he never liked him. He could actually make such a big sacrifice for him this time, which he still can't understand...
