The emperor is embarrassed

The Living Buddha was very difficult to deal with. Fan Zhu and the two of them tried their best to persuade the Living Buddha to recall more than a thousand Tibetans who had gone to Tibet with Princess Ziyuan. The negotiation between the two sides lasted for three days. Prince Ming agreed: send envoys to Tatar, and strictly ordered Tibetans not to participate in the war between China and Tatar.

Although this result is not ideal, but the Tibetans will not give in and compromise in the end, that's the only way to go.

When Fan Cheng and Zhu Zizheng were hesitating whether to go back, Liu Pan came to the Tibetan Palace as the second team of envoys.

Things took a turn for the better.

Liu Pan brought Feng Jingnan's personal letter and said with a smile, "King Zhennan and King Zang have the beauty of in-laws, and they are both the lords of neighbors. They are as close as brothers. Knowing that the King of Tibet is ill, His Highness Zhennan King The concern is abnormal, and the minister is quite good at medicine. The prince ordered that if it is convenient, the minister can help the king of Tibet to diagnose and treat the body."

Prince Renming said, "Dharma can't wake up brother Wang, Xiao Wang is very worried."

Although Liu Pan was born with a weak character, he did not give in easily. He said in a gentle voice, "Tibetan people believe in Buddhism, which is very different from the heavenly dynasty. We people in Yunnan and Guizhou all use medicine to heal diseases, and there are many cases of getting better. .Now the king of Tibet is unconscious, perhaps it was the Buddha who instructed the ministers to come and have a medical examination for the king of Tibet."

Fan Chengdao, "Yes, Your Majesty and Princess Qingluan are always concerned about the body of the King of Tibet. Dr. Liu's medical skills are superb, and he is well-known in my dynasty. Regulate the body for the king of Tibet."

"If you can't let Dr. Liu have a consultation, I'll just use words to prevaricate your majesty when I go back. It's a trivial matter for your majesty to scold the minister for being incompetent. Princess Qingluan has been worried about the king's physical condition for a long time, and the minister can't bring back anything useful. News. I'm afraid Her Royal Highness is going back to Tibet to visit the King of Tibet." Fan Cheng said.

Prince Renming laughed and scolded, "Qingluan is becoming more and more pampered. Xiao Wang heard that your heavenly dynasty has very strict rules. Women are not even allowed to leave the courtyard without reason. You must not break the rules because of Qingluan."

Fan Cheng said calmly, "Your Majesty loves Princess Qingluan as much as a jewel, if the princess asks for something, how can Your Majesty refuse?" Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor wants to interfere in Tibet's internal affairs, Fan Cheng said softly, "Furthermore, Your Majesty After marrying Princess Qingluan, she is the son-in-law of the King of Tibet. Now that the King of Tibet is ill, I am busy with government affairs and cannot leave His Majesty the Emperor. But if Princess Qingluan insists on going back to Tibet to visit her father, I have to send soldiers to escort Princess Qingluan Your Highness is back."

"Of course, if the minister can bring back the good news that the king of Tibet is recovering from his illness, it will be a long journey. The princess is not a spoiled person." Anyway, Fan Cheng must understand, what happened to the king of Tibet?

Prince Renming had no choice but to ask Liu Pan to treat the king of Tibet.

But there is a requirement, he must watch from the sidelines.

After all, the status of the king of Tibet is extremely noble.This request is very reasonable.

Liu Pan is a very delicate person.

On the first day, I simply called the pulse of the king of Tibet, touched the king's neck, and carefully examined the king's face.

"The King of Tibet's disease is not simple, and we have to use the unique medicine bath of our Celestial Dynasty people to have a chance of curing it." Liu Pan asked Prince Renming calmly, "Do you want to try it for the King of Tibet?"

Prince Renming asked, "Doctor Liu promises to cure my brother?"

"Where is there any guarantee here?" Liu Pan said, "It's just a try, and I'm [-]% sure."

"[-]% certainty?" Prince Renming thought for a moment before making up his mind, "Dr. Laoliu is here."

Liu Pan prescribed the prescription and ordered the Tibetans to prepare the medicine. At the same time, he said, "I don't know if the Tibetan king has any heirs?"

Prince Renming said puzzled, "Brother Wang still has two nephews."

"That's good, I need a set of medicine primers here." Liu Pan glanced at Prince Renming, "Only by the blood of his direct descendants can he be sure of saving the king of Tibet."

Prince Renming's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Doctor Liu, how much blood do you need? My two nephews are still young, and they are currently studying Buddhist principles at the Living Buddha."

"It's not used much, it's just to be used in the medicinal bath, it can't be taken out in advance, I'll make arrangements for you to bring someone here." Liu Pan said.

Prince Renming said again and again, "Doctor Liu, Brother Wang has a noble status, and the two nephews will be the future kings of my Tibet. You must be careful, if you hurt the two nephews, we will lose face." It's a matter of face."

"nature."

As soon as Liu Pan came, he wanted to bleed the two princes, not to mention that Prince Renming was upset, even Fan Zhu had no idea.

Zhu Zizheng asked Liu Pan privately, "What the hell are you doing? Tibetans are not stupid. If you stab someone to death with a single needle, it will be our boss. When you die, you will be a scapegoat for others."

Liu Pan shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, I know it well."

Liu Pan asked to see Prince Renming in private.

Prince Renming was slightly surprised, "Master Liu hasn't rested so late?"

"Excuse me for disturbing Your Highness. It's just that I have a private matter to report. There are many people talking during the day, so it's not suitable to report this matter." Liu Pan looked at Prince Renming and said.

Prince Renming said "Oh" and asked Liu Pan to sit down. At the same time, he dismissed most of the servants in the hall, leaving only one warrior standing at the door.Prince Renming asked with concern, "Is it about brother Wang's body?"

Liu Pan shook his head and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the King of Tibet is now in a coma, and His Royal Highness is regent. If the King of Tibet wakes up, His Highness will hand over his power and return the power to the King of Tibet. If so, my minister today I will not come to see His Royal Highness."

Prince Renming's face turned cold, and he reprimanded, "The envoy shut up! If the envoy speaks rudely again, Xiao Wang just asks the envoy to leave!" Although the words were harsh, he did not expel Liu Pan.

Liu Pan frowned, showing a cordial smile, stood up and said, "Since His Highness has failed to make friends with my Zhennan King's faction, I can only say goodbye."

Prince Renming glanced at Liu Pan, and said calmly, "Since it is about His Royal Highness Zhennan Wang, if the envoy wants to leave, wouldn't he return without attack?"

"Returning in vain is better than letting His Royal Highness misunderstand." Liu Pan said, "Now the King of Tibet is still there, His Highness is just a regent, but Zhennan King sent a small minister to make friends with His Highness. If this matter is for His Majesty Knowing that, he will definitely resent Zhennan Wang. Zhennan Wang took this risk, but His Royal Highness didn't appreciate it at all, which has made the little minister feel cold, let alone Zhennan Wang."

Prince Renming sighed softly and waved his hands, "Envoys, please sit down." This is to keep guests.

"The envoys have also seen my embarrassment." Prince Renming said, "My nephew is too young to be in charge of the government, so I have to temporarily let Xiao Wang be regent. Xiao Wang remembers reading a sentence from you Han people before: It's like walking on thin ice, like facing an abyss. Now, Xiao Wang is like this."

Liu Pan didn't want to hear Prince Renming's lyrical nonsense, so he asked bluntly, "Does Your Highness think that the King of Tibet can still wake up?"

Prince Renming said, "Doctor Liu is a famous genius doctor in China. You have already examined Brother Wang. Doctor Liu will definitely know more about Brother Wang's body than Xiao Wang."

"Your Highness, my identity is first of all an envoy, but actually a doctor." Liu Pan corrected.

"A country cannot be without a king for a day. In our dynasty, whoever is in charge is the king." When Liu Pan said this, although Prince Renming still had a disapproving expression on his face, he did not refute.Liu Pan said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness also knows that although our Yungui belongs to the territory of the Celestial Dynasty, in fact, Yungui's military and government are independent. Like a small minister, he was sent to your country by the order of Zhennan King, not by His Majesty the Emperor. Life."

Prince Renming said, "Is His Majesty the son of your Zhennan King?"

"Does Your Highness know? Today's Emperor Taishang is a guest at our Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and the one who is accompanying my prince now is His Royal Highness Mingli." Liu Pan remained calm, "The territory of Yunnan and Guizhou belongs to Zhennan King. Now His Majesty the Emperor inherited the territory of the Celestial Dynasty. Although this is His Majesty's destiny, it has to be said that His Majesty the Emperor has lost the right to inherit the territory of Yunnan and Guizhou. What about father and son? Your Highness, don't tell me that father and son love each other. I heard , His Royal Highness’s father was not yet 50 years old when he passed away. The king of Tibet went to the palace, and the old king of Tibet passed away. Therefore, the words of father’s kindness and son’s filial piety are still common in ordinary people’s homes, but in the royal family. The royal family is a joke."

Seeing Liu Pan say the most embarrassing thing in the palace of the Tibetan king, Prince Renming's face was slightly embarrassed, and he reprimanded, "Envoy, you have exceeded the rules."

"Please forgive me, Your Highness." Liu Pan said, "I think that whether His Highness is in power now or in the future, he will still maintain a friendly neighbor relationship with Yunnan and Guizhou, right?"

"That's natural." Prince Renming didn't hesitate at all. Even if he took power, he wouldn't easily damage the relationship with Yunnan. After all, the Yunnan-Tibet trade is a win-win thing now.The Tibetan royal family also benefited greatly from this.

Liu Pan lowered her eyes, raised her peach eyes again, and looked at His Highness Prince Renming, "Then, Your Highness, do you have the sincerity to make friends with Yunnan and Guizhou?"

His Highness Renming leaned slightly towards Liu Pan, and asked in a low voice, "I don't quite understand what the envoy means."

Liu Pan smiled slightly, leaned into Prince Renming's ear, and whispered.

A hint of surprise flashed in Prince Renming's eyes, and he hurriedly concealed it, saying solemnly, "If His Royal Highness Zhennan Wang supports me, Xiao Wang will never forget this great favor!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhennan is eagerly hoping that His Highness the Prince will get his wish soon."

Prince Renming hesitated, "Doctor Liu, then, Brother Wang's condition..."

"Everything is subject to His Highness's arrangement."

Wolves and embarrassment laugh at similarities, and a tacit understanding has been born.

It is already very cold in Tibet in August, and the wind is howling outside.

The living Buddha's room was lit with charcoal pots, so that people didn't feel the coldness at all, but the room was as warm as a spring day.Reflecting the flames jumping in the charcoal basin, the living Buddha's face was dyed a faint red.

"Your Highness, do you have any difficulties?" the Living Buddha asked warmly.

Prince Renming sighed, "Master, tomorrow the Han Chinese doctors will examine the sickness of Brother Wang, and need the help of two Wang nephews."

"Is the medical knowledge of the Celestial Dynasty people more credible than my Tibetan people's?" The Living Buddha sighed, "As for the king's illness, His Highness knows what's going on better than me. Now the little princes have all become monks and don't ask about worldly affairs anymore. , Your Highness can go back."

"Don't you agree to let the people of the Celestial Dynasty treat the king?"

The Living Buddha said, "The affairs of the Tibetans are handled by the Tibetans, and the diseases of the Tibetans are also healed by the Tibetans themselves. The Celestial Dynasty is an outsider."

"I was the one to be rude." Prince Renming sighed, "Qingluan has already married the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. If... I'm worried that Princess Qingluan will have a misunderstanding."

"Your Highness, the two countries only fight for their own interests. I haven't heard that the two countries will fight for women."

"Thank you, master, for your guidance." Prince Nimei expressed his thanks.

The Living Buddha sighed and did not speak again.

Since the little princes couldn't come, Liu Pan happily gave up his decision to see the king of Tibet.Even though Fan Cheng was somewhat dissatisfied in private, Liu Pan said directly, "I am a doctor, and I will explain the condition of the King of Tibet to you, and I guarantee that you can go back and deal with His Majesty the Emperor and Princess Qingluan."

Liu Pan said so, Fan Cheng had to pack up and return to Yungui with Zhennan Wangfu and others, and then returned to the Celestial Dynasty from Yungui.

Ming Zhan once again understood Feng Jingnan's "treachery".

Fan Cheng's envoy was not a success, but it was not a failure either. After Ming Zhan asked him about various things in Tibet, he gave him a seven-day leave after rewarding him as usual, and worked as an errand in the Lifan Court.In my heart, I began to ask about the eight generations of Hou Fengjingnan's ancestors.

Damn Feng Jingnan, I don't know what condition he reached with that ghost Prince Renming, and he didn't say he came to deliver a letter!

New and old grudges, Ming Zhan immediately thought of the embarrassing thing that he had worked so hard to preside over the reform of the salt class in Yunnan and Guizhou, and was kicked away by Feng Jingnan as soon as he had achieved success, taking away the fruits of victory.

Ming Zhan couldn't tell Ruan Hongfei about this kind of thing.Ruan Hongfei was fine and still incited their father and son to turn against each other. If Ming Zhan spoke, Ruan Hongfei would definitely add fuel to the fire.Ming Zhan had no choice but to talk to his mother and complain about his grievances.

The Empress Dowager Wei saw things fairly, "Speaking of which, China has not established diplomatic relations with Tibet, but Yunnan and Guizhou have been in touch with Tibet for many years. Here, you just sent a letter to your father, what do you want?" Clearly, Ming Zhan's other problems are not serious, but he just doesn't take advantage of it enough.Just send a letter to others, thinking about getting the benefits of gold and silver.

"At least father has any arrangements to tell me? If he doesn't tell me, my eyes are dark."

Empress Dowager Wei smiled, "Don't forget, the Celestial Dynasty has never interfered in the internal affairs of Yunnan and Guizhou, so there is really no need for your father to tell you."

Ming Zhan murmured, not giving up, "The benefits are not in the present, but in the future. Mother, look, my father guards against me now, just like guarding against thieves. If there are benefits in the future, it may not be possible to share a star."

"The tea-horse trade between Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet has been going on for a long time. The people of Yunnan and Guizhou are far more familiar with Tibet than the Celestial Dynasty." Empress Dowager Wei said, "Tibet is not rich, Mingzhan. Even if you want to control Tibet, the distance It’s too far away, it’s not as close as Yungui. What do you care about such a small profit? Zhennan Palace is the best barrier in your southwest. You can think about Zhennan Palace in everything, even if you don’t get any benefits at this stage, But if your father is happy, this will have countless benefits in the future."

Ming Zhan refused to give up and said, "I have to go and seal the letter, my father is so dishonest."

Ming Zhan went back to write a letter aggrieved, and there were many complaints in the letter.

The letter is as follows:

The Changed Father:

Seeing a letter is like a face.

I don't want to write this letter, but my soul has been hurt so badly by my own father that it took days to heal.As a result, I had no choice but to write this letter full of blood and tears with great grief.

(Feng Jingnan almost wanted to die, what was going on, he didn't know where he was hurting Ming Zhan, so he just sent these messy letters. Nervous.)

I don't want to mention my deep friendship with my father anymore, I believe my father has his own feelings.I conducted a survey in the imperial capital, who is the happiest father in this world?The answer is none other than the father.The reason is that you have a good son like me who is both talented and beautiful, caring and caring.

(Feng Jingnan wanted to blush for Ming Zhan, it's too embarrassing, to even conduct such a shameful investigation, the face of his ancestors was completely lost by this kid!)

Of course, this is something that everyone knows, and I have always kept a low profile, so I won’t say more.Although you and my father and son are separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, spiritually, I have not forgotten you for a day; in terms of government affairs, I will inform you as soon as possible about news related to Yunnan and Guizhou.

I treat my father as the closest person. After all, I wishful thinking that I only have you as my father.As I treat my father, so should my father treat me?However, now it seems that my selfless feelings are not cherished by my father.

(Seeing this, Feng Jingnan didn't see what Ming Zhan was going to say, so he could only continue reading patiently.)

Regarding the matter of going to Tibet as an envoy, my father sent envoys to reach a private agreement with the Tibetans, completely ignoring my feelings.This matter makes me very sad.

At first, my father wanted me to marry the king of Tibet.Today, Princess Qingluan is still alive, and my father wants to turn to support Prince Renming's rule. Where does my father put my marriage with Princess Qingluan?

Perhaps, my father has other plans, but these matters are related to me after all, shouldn't my father write to me and tell me?Or does my father think that if I become the emperor, it will be detrimental to the Zhennan Palace?

If the father has this idea, it will really save me.

(Also turning a corner and calling Feng Jingnan a villain, Feng Jingnan directly responded with a bah.)

For this reason, I was so hurt that I had no intention of eating for three days, lost weight like a yellow flower, and suffered from a minor illness when my body was exhausted.

My father hurt my fiery heart to pieces. I think that my father should explain the double injury of my body and mind.Otherwise, this matter will have a non-negligible impact on the deep father-son relationship between me and my father.

Looking forward to reply.

Signed: Ming Zhan, who is as ill as a yellow flower.

Feng Jingnan really wanted to vomit about Ming Zhan's comparison of his shamelessness to a yellow flower.Something with no face or skin.

However, Ming Zhan seldom wrote such letters. Feng Jingnan had learned about Ming Zhan's temper a long time ago. Although this kid is hateful, it really caused Ming Zhan to misunderstand him, which is not good.

In order to maintain the deep father-son relationship between himself and Ming Zhan, Feng Jingnan had no choice but to write an explanation.

Originally, this matter was enough to be aggrieved, but he was an old man, but he still bowed his head to his son.But Feng Jing was on the sidelines fanning the flames, "Where can I find a kind-hearted child like Ming Zhan? Don't spare your blessings. If you have something to say, Ming Zhan will be fine."

With such a big spy next to him, Feng Jingnan suddenly felt that he didn't need to explain to Ming Zhan at all.

So, Feng Jingnan wrote a very short letter.

The content of this letter is really not very glorious.
