Practicing Medicine in Three Kingdoms

Zhuge Liang's appearance here was really beyond Mi Zhao's expectation.

The Prime Minister has been busy for a long time with regard to the matter of defeating Wu, and now that the dust has finally settled, it is time to stop and rest for a while.

He turned his head to follow the sunshine in his sleeve robe.

The prime minister came alone.

The old cloak that has not changed over the years weighs on the body, showing more and more thin bones, as thin as pine and bamboo.The unruly high bun was pressed under the lower Lun scarf, and the temples were already stained white with frost.

He is obviously such a well-behaved person, why should His Majesty be on guard against him?

Mi Zhao looked behind him, pressed his thumb, and slowly retracted the gun.

It is not a gentleman's style to transfer all the grievances to Li Yinzhou, and he knows it well.

Provocations are provocations, if there is really no gap between the monarch and his ministers, who can pry the slightest?

As if hearing the young man whispering in his heart, Zhuge Liang closed his quiet and gentle eyes slightly, and smiled at him broadly: "Gu came to pick Bosong back to the mansion. You haven't returned all night, and the mansion should be waiting anxiously."

Mi Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that it would be impolite for him to stay in the palace without a summons.

Now both Liu Chan and Zhuge Qiao were out of danger, and the prime minister came to pick him up in person. The caretaker Mi thought that Mr. Li should not make trouble anymore, so he gave him a cold face like a man-eating man, and strode away with his gun in his hand.

As soon as the little Hades left, Zhuge Liang asked, "Is Bo Song better?"

In fact, it only took half a day for him to come and go, how could the boy on the sick bed get better.Li Yinzhou looked at him, his calm and easy-going expression did not change, as if he was used to the taste of slander in the years of dripping stones, and he was not shocked at any time.

But in front of Zhuge Qiao's sick bed, his calm figure was hidden in the light, looking so thin and weak.

At this moment, he doesn't look like the omnipotent wise man, but rather the vulgarity of ordinary people in the world.

Li Yinzhou really wanted to say a few words of comfort, but after thinking about it, he only put the pulse on Zhuge Qiao's wrist, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said calmly: "The young master's breath is steady, and he will wake up soon. The prime minister can do a little Rest, wait for someone to sew up the young master's wound after sunset, and then return to the residence to recuperate."

Liu Bei's golden mouth has been opened, and it will not be changed easily for a while. Now the palace is considered a safe place.

Zhuge Liang sat sideways in front of the young man's couch, stretched out his hand to hold his wrist, and smiled reassuringly: "Sir, I am laughing at you. Gu has no children under his knees, and my elder brother entrusted his child to Gu's upbringing. Gu did not agree at first." , I am too busy with government affairs, how can I have time to raise my children."

What's more, with the son as a hostage, there is always the danger of being angered. Today is a typical example.

But raising and raising, but also raising feelings, unable to let go.

Zhuge Liang paused, and said in a low voice: "Last night, thank you sir for helping me, otherwise Gu Zhen would not know how to face my brother in the future."

Li Yinzhou's scheming must have been unable to hide from Zhuge Liang's eyes and ears. Hearing his serious and low voice at this moment, for some reason, Li Yinzhou suddenly remembered when the master was there, and his heart felt a little sour.

People live in the world, who can avoid the vulgarity?

Zhuge Liang may not lose a single game, he is a wise man, but he is not a saint, and he also has human relations, and he can't let go of kinship.

Li Yinzhou said in a low voice, "Your prime minister doesn't blame XX?"

"Without you, Bo Song can only die." Zhuge Liang stretched out his adopted son's hand, wiped the fine sweat from his palm with a brocade handkerchief, and said in a flat tone, "Besides, your majesty is not afraid of loneliness for a day or two, Bo Song is an innocent person and should not be a sacrifice for monopoly power."

He spoke so thoroughly, Li Yinzhou couldn't help being startled, and couldn't help asking: "Does the prime minister not blame His Majesty?"

Zhuge Liang slowly put the brocade handkerchief on his knees, looked up at him, and asked: "In the past when Zhou Lang captured Jiangling, Lord Wu ordered him to stay in Nanjun. Did Zhou Lang complain?"

At that time, Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to garrison troops, one for self-cultivation after the war, and two for rearranging the defense line to contain Zhou Yu's military power.

Li Yinzhou hadn't seen Zhou Yu since the Battle of Chibi.

But from Zhang Ji's expression at that time, he knew that Gong Jin should have no regrets.

One will be successful and his bones will be exhausted, and an emperor is destined to step on countless chess pieces to ascend to the throne.A person who can be an emperor must be ruthless and ungrateful by birth, and he must have blood on his hands and dust on his feet, so that he can spend a hundred years in the world in a lonely body.

When people look at Zhuge, they often praise him for his loyalty and lament his stupidity. He clearly has the talent of an emperor, but he has no intention of replacing him.But at this moment Li Yinzhou understood that Zhuge Liang could only be a chancellor, a minister, and a pawn in the hands of others, and it was impossible to replace Liu Shi in the end.

A person who values ​​friendship too much is destined not to be an emperor.

The gentle wind blows through the bamboo forest outside the window, attracting the fallen leaves to beat the window.In the extremely quiet and deep silence, Li Yinzhou remembered something, and suddenly smiled: "So the prime minister wants to invite troops to march east."

If it succeeds, Zhuge Liang will personally lead the army, and perhaps he will be able to actively respond with all his talents and stem the tide.

If not, he has shown his ambition and courage to the world, and he can wash away Liu Bei's reputation of coldness and suspicion.

Zhuge Liang only wiped the young man's pale and wet cheeks with the brocade handkerchief, his expression as calm as water: "Perhaps, this battle should have been fought long ago."

Li Yinzhou didn't know whether his "early" referred to when Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes, or before the Xiangshui River was ruled earlier, but after several years of entanglement, the grievances and grievances between the two countries can no longer be resolved by individual strength.

And he knows it better than anyone.

All the things in the past can only be burned out by a big fire, and a new era will eventually usher in the scorched earth.

The breeze blew the bamboo tip, countless flickering light spots cast on Zhuge Qiao's pale face, the young man's brows twitched slightly under the unstoppable light, and finally opened his eyelids vigorously, with a feeling of not knowing where he was. Confused eyes looked at the two sitting opposite each other silently.

Zhuge Liang's hand stopped slightly.

"Father..." Zhuge Qiao wanted to get up anxiously, but Li Yinzhou quickly pressed him down.

He said steadily: "The young master still has a bamboo tube in his chest, so he can't move for the time being."

The temporary bamboo tube is softer and tougher than the non-modern drainage tube. To ensure safety, Li Yinzhou decided to remove the tube and seal the cavity first.

This time, Hua Tuo's improved anesthesia was added, and the extubation process was extremely smooth.

Li Yinzhou slowly let out a sigh of relief.

Zhuge Qiao rested his chin on his neck, twisted his eyes and looked at the blood-stained wound on his chest, still feeling lingering fear in his heart, thinking of the man in black who suddenly killed him, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious: "Father, the person who attacked is probably not from Wu, but from Wu." ..."

"Lonely knows."

The boy's words were interrupted.

Zhuge Liang put down the brocade handkerchief in his hand, put his fingers on the boy's cold wrist, and said softly, "It's all over, let's go home with Gu."

……

Liu Bei quickly mobilized his army.

It was even faster than Li Yinzhou expected.

The news of Zhang Fei's death came to Chengdu only in June, and it only took Liu Bei a month to mobilize [-] troops.In this era of extremely backward information, this is a speed that is a bit sloppy. You must know that the army has food and grass first. For such a large-scale military activity, it takes at least three months to prepare all the military supplies.

Even though he had already prepared for the Eastern Expedition, Liu Bei's marching pace seemed a little more eager, but driven by anger, he couldn't wait any longer.

Not a moment's delay.

The night before the army left the city, Li Yinzhou was ordered to the main hall.

Under the cover of the bright lights, Liu Bei's armor was glowing with a chilly light. He looked down from a height on the man who had trampled on his dignity, with an indifferent smile on his lips.

"I heard that before the Battle of Chibi, you and Prime Minister Wei predicted our army's victory. Since you are good at divination and fortune-telling, I really want to know what you foresee now."

It goes without saying whoever you listen to.

Sima Yi's heart-to-heart killing with this hand is too dark.

Li Yinzhou rolled his eyes and looked calm: "A certain man practiced medicine with a pot, only saving lives, not dying."

The corners of the aged emperor's eyes drooped slightly, and his expression looked a bit dark in the shadows of the intertwined lights. He stared at his face with a cold and playful look.

He opened his lips coldly: "You have been loyal to Shu for a long time, do you still think that Sun Quan's son will treat you well? As long as you tell Gu honestly, in the future, you will be a rich man, a ten thousand prince, and Gu Jin will allow you."

The conditions offered are quite ample.

Compared with the twelve taels of gold Huang Zhong gave in the past, Liu Bei is very generous.

Li Yinzhou really thought about it for a moment with his chin in his hands, and quickly decided to agree to this fat job: "Since Your Majesty is so sincere, a certain person can also get a little bit of a secret."

Liu Bei slowly stepped down the high rank.

He stopped on the last step, leaned slightly and leaned against Li Yinzhou's side face: "Say."

Li Yinzhou didn't evade any excuses any more, moved his fingers, and deduced: "Your Majesty has failed several times since he started his business, but he persevered and never gave up, and finally became an emperor. But this time the expedition is different, you won't fail like before... "

While speaking, he saw a smug and mischievous smile floating on the corner of Liu Bei's lips, and that deep gaze flashed in the light, full of ambition.

He replied with a very polite smile, and continued: "You won't fail again like before, you will be completely defeated, and you will be powerless to fight back."

click.

Liu Bei's hand, which was resting behind his back, suddenly made a joint pinching sound.

His relaxed gaze also became extremely cold at this moment.

Li Yinzhou looked at him with a smile: "Does Your Majesty want to hear more?"

Liu Bei's eyes were deep and cold on his face, as if he wanted to tear him apart with his eyes, and he seemed to want to see what evil was hidden under the flesh.

For a moment, he retracted his tense gaze.

The corners of the indifferent lips curved back into a gloomy arc.

"You are provoking Gu." He chuckled, "Unfortunately, people like you have seen Gu too much."

He has suffered too many blows in his life, swords and swords have not been able to sharpen his will, how can a few words break his will?

Looking at Liu Bei who is full of ambition, Li Yinzhou also said a pity in his heart at the same time.

If he had really believed in Sima Yi and believed that his prophecy would come true, a cruel war might have been avoided.

Now everything is irreversible.

He said: "Your Majesty does not believe in orders, so he must not obey orders."

"Indeed." Liu Bei turned his face coldly.

He stretched out his sleeves.

With a bang, it shattered the quiet space.

"Not only does Gu not obey orders, but he also wants you to join the army and see how Gu rebels!"

Liu Bei asked him to join the army not necessarily because of a moment of enthusiasm, but more probably because he was afraid of a fire in the backyard.

At this moment, Li Yinzhou couldn't see Liu Bei's expression clearly, but could only see the deep and gloomy outline of the vicissitudes of his cheeks outlined by the light, and his eyes were only burning with anger.

When he walked out of the palace, Li Yinzhou's heart was still beating. He never imagined that after a glorious night in Chibi, he would be lucky enough to see another unquenchable fire.

Even death is not a bad loss.

A self-deprecating smile flashed across his heart, and he looked up to see the dark night sky on the top of Zhongshan Mountain.

There is no moon or stars tonight.

Only the thousands of miles of heavy clouds cover the sky, let the strong wind sweep past, and set off raging waves.
