Practicing Medicine in Three Kingdoms

The rain outside was crackling, and Zhuge Qiao's weak groans sounded extraordinarily weak.Xu Shi suffered severe chest pains, his sweaty forehead was wrinkled, and his eyelashes were glued together.

Zhuge Liang sat sideways on the couch, with the knuckles of his adopted son curled up in his palm.

The young man clenched his hand so tightly, as if he was using his remaining strength to hold back something.

He also frowned slightly: "Why does it still look like it's in pain?"

Li Yinzhou lifted Zhuge Qiao's eyelids and glanced, the pale eyelids were much better than last night, it was indeed a turn of events.

But the pain is really painful.

The pain level of thoracic puncture without anesthesia can reach grade [-], which is only a little lighter than the most painful childbirth. What's more, the primitive tools are rough and simple, and the pain that the teenager endured all night can be imagined.

Li Yinzhou put up his hands and told the truth: "Last night, the young master was in a critical condition. I really didn't have time to take more medicines. I used this method in a hurry. It is inevitable that there will be some flesh and blood pain. However, it is necessary to experience the pain of opening the chest to induce congestion. The turbid qi that has been there for a long time, otherwise the stubborn illness will not go away, and it will be fatal if it drags on."

If the stubborn illness persists, it will eventually cost your life.

Zhuge Liang listened to his plain talk about last night's danger, his quiet eyes fell on the young man's pale cheeks along with the dawning dawn, and he remained silent as if in a trance.

After a while, he withdrew his hand, held it under the thick crane cloak sleeve again, and said: "I understand."

After seeing Zhuge Qiao who was sick, Zhuge Liang got up and said goodbye without much regret.

As soon as he left, Mi Zhao dragged his spear and followed him to plead guilty.

The honor and favor of the Mi family has never faded, precisely because the family can always remember the reason for being able to get this honor.

But at this moment, Liu Bei obviously has no intention of taking care of these trivial matters.

He didn't sleep well that night, his eyes were dotted with bloodshot snake patterns. Liu Bei rested his hands on the table, his wide sleeves slid across a map of Sichuan, and his fingers landed on the narrow and steep Yangtze River. Streamline.

Mi Zhao shut his mouth politely.

It's not his turn to speak yet.

Liu Bei glanced sideways at the two of them, his expression calmed down a lot, but the corners of his red eyes traced the last trace of edges and corners that could not be smoothed by the years, revealing the deep hatred that could not be calmed down for a long time.

The exit was extremely cold: "Has the prime minister seen Bo Song?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Yes, what Mr. Li said is true, Bo Song is fine now."

There is no serious problem, whether to kill or to stay is a problem.

Liu Bei signaled him to continue talking with his eyes.

The same sleepless night, Zhuge Liang's complexion was also slightly pale, this haggardness was hidden in the white morning sun, and there was no obvious expression.He said slowly: "From my point of view, Qiao must not be killed. First, he is the son of Minister Wu. If we kill him, we will lose our moral advantage, and we will no longer be famous as a teacher. Furthermore, my brother is a good man with a lenient nature. He has been trying his best to promote the goodness of Shu and Wu. The reputation of benevolence is a hundred times better than that of ministers. If you vent your anger on his son, it will damage the reputation of your majesty as a benevolent monarch. The general has passed away, and the burial is just to comfort the living. I hope His Majesty will think carefully and act carefully."

His tone was flat as usual.

It seems that what is being discussed is not the life and death of the adopted son, but a business-like government affairs.

According to this, Mi is on the one hand to plead guilty, and on the other hand, he also wants to take the opportunity to say something nice for Zhuge Qiao, but unexpectedly, the prime minister would start this issue first, and categorically refute His Majesty's will.

He calmly turned his eyes to Liu Bei who was in front of the case.

The rising morning light cast a layer of cold light on his expressionless face, Liu Bei seemed to slowly clenched his hands clenched in his robe, and moved slightly the sheepskin drawing on the case.

Mi Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to help out with a few words, when Liu Bei took a deep breath and sighed: "Speaking of which, Bo Song is also your adopted son, and he is the only one under your knees. Last night, he was lonely and annoyed his superiors. Consider your feelings."

Mozhao heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter what steps His Majesty uses to descend, he is willing to let Zhuge Qiao go.

Zhuge Liang thanked him with a bow, and said again: "The matter of the Eastern Expedition..."

Liu Bei's eyes returned to the battle situation, and his eyes turned cold for a moment: "Bo Song was young and innocent, and he was spared if he was alone, but that Wu dog had no good intentions! It was not enough to get the east of the Xiangshui River, so he took advantage of the juncture of his second brother's Northern Expedition Invading Jingzhou, winning Jingzhou, and killing my third younger brother... I'm afraid that if I don't go east, I'll wait for Chengdu to meet you!"

The colder his eyes, the more forcefully he grasped the hand holding the map, and the copper table in front of him also trembled under his palm.

In the horrifying silence, the surrounding attendants had already folded their knees and knelt on the ground tremblingly, wishing they could bury their heads in the stone slab.Even the little general Mi, who was still playing awe-inspiring in the middle of the night, restrained all his hostility, hung his head and held his breath honestly, waiting for the prime minister to persuade His Majesty.

Liu Bei glanced over the dark skulls, turned to look at Zhuge Liang's face hidden in the twilight, and said firmly, "Since the prime minister is sympathetic to the adopted son, he should be considerate of the orphan's affection for the righteous brother."

Mi Zhao suddenly thumped in his heart, and then understood why His Majesty suddenly and easily changed his attitude. It seems that the matter of the Eastern Expedition is a certainty, and it is only due to the prime minister's resourcefulness, it is impossible not to expect this step...

The rain outside the hall has stopped for a while, only the remaining water droplets on the tiles roll down the eaves from time to time.

In the corner of the palace eaves protruding under the sunny light, Zhuge Liang took a step forward, his vague expression suddenly solemnly drawn into a serious line, the corners of his lips were pressed down, and he was not at all the relaxed state of talking and laughing.

He flicked his wide sleeves, bent his waist and knelt down, raised his jaw and looked up at Liu Bei in the hall: "I also have the same intention."

Liu Bei's heavily depressed eyebrows raised slightly in surprise: "The Prime Minister has never praised Dongzheng before..."

"Wei has always been strong and we are weak. If we become enemies with Wu again, we will be in a very difficult situation. Therefore, I have always believed that we should not confront Wu head-on." Zhuge Liang's eyes were clear and he said solemnly, "But as Your Majesty said, Disputes have arisen, and if you do not advance, you will retreat. Therefore, the minister thought that Wu could be defeated."

The strategic significance of the Eastern Expedition has not changed substantially.

But under the catalysis of Zhang Fei's death, they can no longer stand still. Wei and Wu must have one side to fight against Shuzhong.

But now that the two generals of Guan and Zhang have been lost in succession, no one can take on the important task of the Northern Expedition.

If the two powers harm each other, we can only pick up the soft persimmons and pinch them.

There is no need to say the rest of the words, the emperor who has been with him for more than ten years can easily read the deeper intentions from his sharp eyes.Liu Bei's turbid eyes moved slightly, and he said for a while, "Okay! Since the Prime Minister also agrees with Gu's intention, Gu will go to the imperial conquest and personally avenge the two younger brothers!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang put his hands on his forehead, bowed deeply, and when he raised his forehead again, his eyes were sincere and sincere like never before.

"Now that the crown prince has just recovered from his illness, there is no one in the court who can replace him. Your majesty's body is so rich that it is really not suitable to go to the danger in person. If your majesty does not abandon the humble body of the minister, I am willing to lead the army to conquer and avenge the blood of the two generals for your majesty. "

As soon as the words fell, Mi Zhao's heart that had just let go hung up again.

Your Majesty may have become suspicious of the Prime Minister because of Zhuge Qiao's incident, and now that he has begged for his adopted son's life, it's nothing more than being soft to avoid his anger, and he still wants to ask him for military power.

Your Majesty may not be willing, let alone dare.

What's more, the position of prime minister is already the head of civil servants, and leading the army, wouldn't it be the same as the ambitious Sima Yi before?Regardless of how the world Yoyo guesses, this is already a taboo that must not be stepped on in the way of a monarch and his ministers!

Liu Bei's gaze hesitated for a moment, then he withdrew and walked down from the height, and helped Zhuge Liang up with his own hands: "The prince will not become a talent, and even if you are the prime minister and assistant prime minister, if there is something wrong with Kong Ming, who can ask Linggu in the future? The blood debt is paid with blood, Gu must personally avenge the two righteous brothers!"

The words are sincere, but there is no room for refutation.

Moose on one side was silent, but his hands were already wet and cold.

He stared fixedly at Zhuge Liang's pale lips, his fingers restrained and did not move, as if he was afraid that he would offend him again, and he was ready to stop today's unusual prime minister at any time.

With the support of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang got up slowly, bowed and patted the dust on his knees, then straightened up and said: "Your Majesty prefers me, and I will do my best to assist the prince so that I will not disappoint you."

His expression was respectful and cautious, neither humble nor overbearing, solemn and solemn as before.

The huge palace was as quiet as a deep pool for a moment.

"Okay!" After this obscure and quiet moment, Liu Bei finally smiled and nodded appreciatively, "Kong Ming is really my right-hand man."

A good word, Mozhao's tense and stiff arms finally let go, and when Liu Bei returned to the case in satisfaction, the two monarchs and ministers re-discussed the matter of the Eastern Expedition, he retreated roughly, raised his gun and went to the side hall go.

At this moment, Li Yinzhou covered Zhuge Qiao's front of his clothes, and said calmly: "There is still accumulated Qi, after twelve o'clock, the bamboo tube can be disassembled, and I will cook the medicine according to my prescription first."

The hot weather was sunny and rainy, and the drainage tube left in the body for too long could easily lead to infection. Estimating the fastest time, Li Yinzhou and other imperial doctors explained it.

The voice just fell.

The moment he turned his head carelessly, a dangling silver gun rushed towards him without saying hello or hearing the wind, and stood coldly in front of his eyes, blocking his way.

The boy's voice was even colder: "I said, why is Mr. so cooperative? It turned out to be an excuse to save people and to sow discord!"

Li Yinzhou looked at Mi Zhao's dark complexion, he could probably guess what happened in the hall, he couldn't help laughing: "So what can I do if I can't move an inch in this hall?"

"You are very capable!" Mi Zhao's voice was extremely low, "You are from Wu, you must have known that General Zhang Fei would be murdered by you, so you deliberately picked Bo Song to kill him, and then pretended to be a good person, forcing the prime minister Open your mouth to intercede, so that he will lose his trust in His Majesty. What kind of heroes are you to use such indecent means!"

This is really an unwarranted crime.

Li Yinzhou leaned back and looked back at his angry eyes calmly: "The one who 'invited' to come to Sichuan is the general, and the one who insisted on pulling so-and-so to save Bosong is also the general. ?”

Mi Zhao gritted her teeth angrily: "Don't quibble, don't think that those dirty and indecent deeds can be hidden from everyone!"

Li Yinzhou was unmoved, and even smiled softly: "Since the little general is convincing, he can definitely expose XX to His Majesty."

But Mi Zhao sneered: "Don't try to deceive me, if His Majesty knows that someone has spent such a great effort to sow discord, it will only make the Prime Minister more afraid."

If Liu Bei knew that others feared that Zhuge Liang's intelligence was far superior to his, and even deliberately provoked him to prevent Zhuge Liang from joining the army, I'm afraid that deep-minded majesty would only think more.

The little bunny is quite smart, not easy to cheat.

It's just that the eyes of the mind are so biased that they refuse to look at things directly.

In his eyes, he only saw the discord between Shu and Wu for several years, but he didn't see the wolf of the Northern Plains staring at him fiercely. He really made the two families turn against each other. He is probably shaking his feather fan and laughing from ear to ear.

Thinking of Sima Yi's triumphant eyes, Li Yinzhou's lips curled into an evil smile.

I took advantage of the trend to save Zhuge Qiao's life, and finally destroyed a small part of his plan. It's a pity that neither Sima Yi nor Liu Bei expected the earth-shaking collapse that this inconspicuous change would cause.

Seeing him laughing wildly, Mi Zhao was even more furious, wishing he could kill this kind-hearted doctor with a single shot.

Anger vacated, and the gun in his hand almost slipped forward.

At this moment, the tense shoulders were firmly held down by a thin but strong palm.

Zhuge Liang's voice sounded flat behind him.

"The Eastern Expedition is imminent, General Mo, hurry up and pack up."
