Unfilial Sons in Ancient Times (7)

Chapter 48

Ji Changze successfully achieved the achievement of becoming a disciple.

After becoming a disciple, he became one of his own.

He began to flatter his master.

Master, I tell you that I have admired you for a long time. If I had not been unable to pay for the travel expenses, I would have come to become your disciple long ago.

Tell me, how come you are so awesome? Almost everyone in the world thinks of you first when they think of famous doctors, but you retired at such a prosperous time and lived in seclusion in this deep mountain forest.

Not seeking fame! Not seeking profit!

Is there any other doctor like you in the world!

The miracle doctor has been studying medicine with his master since he was a child. After he became a disciple, he found a place to squat and started to see patients. Naturally, he was called a miracle doctor after seeing a doctor.

But people nowadays are more introverted, and even if they want to praise someone, they are embarrassed to praise him directly.

He is definitely the first person he has seen in his life who is so generous (shameless) and praises directly.

And the praise from this new disciple was so sincere that it seemed to have touched his itch.

The doctor was so flattered that he smiled for a long time.

He no longer thought Ji Changze was cunning and treacherous.

It was obvious that he had a good eye and was very good at judging people.

Seeing the doctor so complacent after being flattered by his flattery, Ji Changze changed the subject.

Master, can you help me check the military advisor's illness? He is my good friend.

It's worth it!

The general has money, let him help you find those hard-to-buy medicinal materials, as many as you want.

The general was no longer distressed at this moment.

After listening to Ji Changze's words, he nodded repeatedly and promised: "As long as the genius doctor helps my military advisor cure this disease, as long as I have a breath in the future, even if you want the snow lotus on the snow mountain, I will definitely help you get it."

"Why do I need that thing? It looks good, but it can't be used as medicine."

The genius doctor smiled at his apprentice, but he was not so good-tempered to outsiders. He raised his eyelids and glanced up and down at the military advisor who was sitting there quietly.

The military advisor saw him coming, put down the teacup in his hand, and saluted silently.

After all, he grew up with the general since he was a child. The teacher invited by the general's father was also a serious scholar. Although the general was naughty when he was a child and didn't get much literature, the military advisor learned the etiquette and manners.

People with good etiquette and neither humble nor arrogant are always likable.

The genius doctor's eyes were originally a little picky, but now seeing the military advisor like this, the expression on his face is a little better.

"Since he is my disciple's good friend, I will treat him."

It was not until he said this that General Hou breathed a sigh of relief, and an excited smile appeared on his heroic face.

The genius doctor himself was a thin old man, and he was very jealous of General Hou, who was so strong and strong. Seeing him smiling with white teeth, he glanced at him and said, "I don't like outsiders around when I see patients. General, please go out first."

"Hey!"

Now that he was willing to help his cousin treat the disease, let alone let General Hou go out, even if he was asked to get out, he would leave without stopping.

He agreed and went out with the boy, but when he reached the door, he found that Ji Changze did not come out with him, and he turned his head in confusion.

"Mr. Ji?"

Ji Changze stood steadily, his face normal: "I am the master's disciple, not an outsider."

The genius doctor was happy: "Yes, this is my good disciple. It happens that although you have no foundation, you have a photographic memory, and those theories are not difficult for you. You stay here, watch me and ask questions, and learn well."

General: "..."

He looked at the military advisor sitting there, and then looked at Ji Changze standing behind the genius doctor with a face that said "I am learning".

Three people, he went out alone again.

Waiting for General Hou to go out, the genius doctor sat down and rolled up his sleeves: "Come on, boy, give me your hand."

The military advisor quietly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arm that was a little pale because of not seeing the sun for a long time, and handed it to the genius doctor.

The thin old man touched his beard and began to feel his pulse. After feeling it quietly for a few seconds, his eyebrows jumped and he looked at the person in front of him with a little surprise.

Seeing this, Ji Changze hurriedly asked: "Master, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

The military advisor was still very calm. Seeing the divine doctor looking at him, he also curled his lips slightly and smiled lightly.

"It's not that there is anything wrong, it's very bad."

The divine doctor still has some skills. Although he hasn't diagnosed his pulse for a long time, his words are full of affirmation: "He is weak and needs to be taken care of. Now his body is so damaged. It must be that he didn't take good care of it, but he was tired and running around. In addition, he was poisoned before, and now he is already at the end of his strength."

Ji Changze frowned. He had guessed that the military advisor's health must not be very good, otherwise the original owner would not be able to harm General Hou.

But he didn't expect that the military advisor had checked the sand table with him all night and made plans. During the conversation, except for his pale face, there was nothing wrong, but his health was already so bad.

The military advisor still didn't look surprised.

He held the hand warmer and asked: "Please ask the divine doctor, how long can I live?"

Speaking of this, the divine doctor was very proud.

He stroked his beard complacently and coughed dryly: "If he hadn't met me, he would probably only live for half a month at most."

Ji Changze got to the point directly: "But now he has met his master."

"That's right."

The doctor found some paper and pen nearby and started writing a prescription: "He is in this condition now, so it's not good for him to work hard. But I'll prescribe a prescription for him. Take it according to this, and eat more good food. Don't overdo it. Take care of it for a year or two. Although he will still cough in spring and autumn, at least his life will not be in danger."

Oh, he is really an excellent doctor.

He can pull back people who are at the door of death.

Seeing the expression of "Praise me, praise me" on his master's face, Ji Changze praised him very cooperatively: "Master is really amazing, practicing medicine to save the world, such a skill can be passed down through the ages!!"

"Hahahahaha, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

The doctor touched his beard, and his expression became more and more satisfied.

He pulled Ji Changze, while writing the prescription, telling his disciple why he prescribed it this way and what the medicinal materials were used for.

After he finished speaking, he concluded with one sentence: "Just remember these. I have some medical books here. Read them all and treat more patients. After ten or eight years, you can become a master."

Ah, it's better to take a talented apprentice.

No need to worry.

After the genius doctor finished talking, he went into the house to get medicine.

As a doctor, even if he didn't see a patient, he had a lot of medicinal materials.

So only Ji Changze and the military advisor were left in the room.

Ji Changze knelt down opposite the military advisor and asked directly without any euphemism: "Who poisoned me?"

"It's just that a spy has set his sights on the position of the military advisor and plans to kill me and take my place."

The military advisor smiled indifferently: "Mr. Ji, don't worry. From then on, we will thoroughly check all newcomers to the military camp, and such a thing will never happen again."

Ji Changze: "I'm not afraid. I can shoot arrows, and now I'm learning medicine from my master. When I learn some poison techniques, ordinary people can't get close to me."

The military advisor in front of him smiled: "Yes, Mr. Ji is not an ordinary person."

He said: "Just now the genius doctor said that I will not live long, please don't tell others, Mr. Ji."

Ji Changze didn't ask him why.

It's easy to imagine that the military advisor was not surprised at all after knowing the diagnosis results. He must have known it a long time ago, but he was always as usual during this period, just wanting to hide it from others.

Before hiding it, it was because it couldn't be cured anyway, it was better for others not to know, and it also saved more people from worrying.

Now that it is hidden, it can be cured anyway, and telling it out will only add to the anxiety.

Ji Changze has always admired the military advisor, and now this admiration is even stronger.

"Since I met you, you have always been like this, taking care of military affairs and trivial matters. Ji is a little curious, don't you have anything you want?"

The military advisor raised his eyes and showed a bitter smile on his face.

"Of course I do, but even if I say it, I'm afraid no one can do it."

Ji Changze poured tea for him: "Your Excellency, why don't you tell me, maybe I can do it?"

The military advisor's tone was a little heavy: "I want peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

"I want the court to distribute food and clothing in time when our soldiers are fighting on the battlefield, instead of dividing them into several camps and arguing over the merits of the war."

"I also want the people of my Xingguo to have no worries about food and clothing, sit in their own homes without worrying about disasters from the sky, and not be forced to sell their children or even themselves when they are free."

Speaking of this, even though he knew that General Hou was guarding outside, the military advisor still looked around before speaking; "To be disrespectful, I also want the superiors to have the same idea as me."

Ji Changze nodded, this was indeed disrespectful.

After all, when this was said, it was directly saying that the superiors, that is, the emperor and the princes who now have power in their hands, did not think about protecting Xingguo and the people.

"What the Lord wants is indeed difficult."

Hearing what he said, the military advisor's face became more bitter, and he sighed: "Yes, it is difficult."

He thought that the topic was over, but he did not expect that Mr. Ji, who he had never understood, would naturally add: "But it is difficult, but it does not mean that it cannot be done."

The military advisor was stunned, and looked at Ji Changze in disbelief. Seeing that he did not look like a joke, he asked: "Do you know how much resistance is needed to achieve these?"

"How much?"

"Your Majesty was still diligent in his early years, but he gradually became greedy for pleasure in recent years, and turned a blind eye to the fights between the princes below. Even if the princes caused a death and occupied the people's good land, he could treat it as nothing happened."

Ji Changze nodded, understanding that this meant that the bss above was unreliable.

The military advisor continued, "Among the princes below, only three have grown up. The eldest prince has a slightly impatient temper. In order to cover up the fact that his subordinates had occupied good farmland, he killed and silenced them. Overnight, everyone in the farm died, and it was reported as plague."

"Let alone the second prince, he colluded with the rebels and sold our people. In order to cover up his crimes, those who were not taken away were never left alive."

"Compared with them, the third prince is relatively good, but his mother is a Hu people, his mother's family has no status, and he has foreign blood, so it is impossible for him to succeed to the throne."

"The fourth and fifth princes are twins, and it is impossible for them to ascend the throne. The only one left is the sixth prince in his cradle, who is just a baby."

After listening to the military advisor, Ji Changze realized that the princes below were not reliable.

I know what he meant was that the boss was unreliable, and neither were his sons, so it would be very difficult for us to achieve that goal.

No wonder the eldest prince and the second prince fought so fiercely, after all, the younger brothers under them had no fighting power. If nothing unexpected happened, the position of the crown prince should have gone to them.

However, he was best at creating y-i'wa-i.

"Can't a baby be the emperor?"

The military advisor was slightly stunned when he heard what he said, but after reacting, he still answered: "Of course you can, what do you mean?"

Ji Changze smiled gently, raised his hand, and made a gesture of wiping his neck: "If the person above can't inherit the throne, the sixth prince below can sit on the throne even if he is a baby."

"There is a precedent for this, but the sixth prince's mother died early, and he has no maternal family to support him. I'm afraid..."

"That's why the sixth prince was chosen."

Ji Changze affirmed: "If we choose the sixth prince, we will be his maternal family when he is still immature."

"But if so, you and I will definitely control the government. When the sixth prince grows up, it will be difficult for us to get out of it unscathed."

Throughout the ages, which regents have had a good ending?

Even the imperial advisor who assisted the new emperor could hardly have a good ending.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll just return the power to him as soon as possible."

Besides, if the Sixth Prince can really be pushed to the throne, he has no power from his mother's family, so Ji Changze will definitely teach him himself.

The probability of a child he teaches going astray is too low.

Even if he really goes astray, he can get away with it.

At worst, he can retreat overseas and become a king of a country.

The military advisor saw that Ji Changze was so sure, but he still couldn't understand: "Since Mr. Ji is so sure, why not..."

His expression was as gentle as Ji Changze's, but his pale fingers made a strangling gesture.

Ji Changze understood it immediately.

The military advisor was saying that since he was sure that he could kill the people above and push a baby to the throne, why not rebel and become the emperor himself.

This was beyond his expectation.

After all, it was ancient times, and the military advisor could have such advanced ideas.

But Ji Changze didn't have this idea.

If in the original world line, the eldest prince or the second prince succeeded to the throne, he would have taken the throne.

Anyway, after so many worlds, it was not the first time he rebelled.

But the problem is that in the original world line, it was the Sixth Prince who ascended the throne.

It was not that he was so powerful that he could grab the throne.

It was that the current emperor lived too long.

The emperor was old before, and the eldest and second princes were in their prime, fighting fiercely.

As a result, after so many years of fighting, the old emperor still persisted on the road of "I and my son will live longer than you".

He outlasted his two sons.

And he not only did such a big thing, but in that long life, the old emperor did not stop trying to die, and all kinds of magical methods emerged one after another.

He first outlasted his first two sons, and then outlasted the third, fourth, and fifth princes. After outlasting his sons, he still wanted to do something else, so he started to mess with Xingguo.

For the people of Xingguo, it was definitely a great thing that the old emperor died before he finished messing with Xingguo.

The only remaining Sixth Prince ascended the throne and took over the country that was about to be torn apart by his father.

It was only ten years from his ascension to his death.

It is no exaggeration to say that he was exhausted to death.

His father was too troublesome, and he could not bear to see the people suffer. What could he do? He could only repair the country bit by bit, fight against corrupt officials, and fight against enemy countries. Because his father had almost done all the trouble, he tried his best to find capable and loyal ministers everywhere.

After Xingguo was finally saved, he could not bear it anymore.

Bang, he died.

Ji Changze admired the spirit of the Sixth Prince.

He may not be very smart, and he is not as smart as his brothers, but he must be said to be a good emperor.

It is too tasteless to rob the Sixth Prince of his throne. It is right for a righteous and kind person like Ji Changze to lend him a hand.

He could not help but sigh in his heart.

He is really kind.

The genius doctor came out with the medicine and handed it to the military advisor, with a cheerful look on his face. He had no idea that during the short time he was away, his good disciple had already decided to kill the emperor and prince and let a swaddled baby succeed to the throne.

"I'll give you the prescription as well. When you finish taking these medicines, just follow this. Keep taking them like this for a year. I'll adjust your condition and there shouldn't be any big problems."

The military advisor took it and thanked him: "Thank you, doctor."

"No need to thank me, I'm doing this for my disciple's sake."

Ji Changze smiled gratefully at his master: "Master, can you do me a favor for my sake?"

The doctor didn't ask what it was, but nodded and agreed: "You are my disciple, just tell me what you want me to do for you."

Before the doctor asked, the military advisor already knew what he was talking about, nodded, and said considerately: "I'll ask the general to send a team of people to escort you."

General Hou outside couldn't wait and was about to come over to take a look. He just walked to the door and heard these words. He was stunned: "Escort what? Ying Rao, how is your illness? Can it be cured?"

The military advisor smiled at him when he saw him come in. After knowing that his illness could be cured, his smile was also a little more relaxed: "My illness is not serious. I will be fine after a period of recuperation. Escort, of course, is to escort Mr. Ji and the miracle doctor back home."

General Hou showed a happy look on his face and ignored the second half of the sentence.

But when Ji Changze saw him come in, he smiled immediately and stretched out his hand skillfully: "I am short of money. I have to rely on the general for the travel expenses."

General Hou, who was not happy for a while, learned that he had to pay again: "..."

Forget it.

My cousin was cured because of Mr. Ji.

No matter how much money he gave, it would not be too much.

He was happy that his cousin's illness could be cured, and his hand was about to reach into his arms with pain, but suddenly he thought of something and put it down quickly: "Hey, my silver is all with Ying Rao."

Ji Changze: "I see that the general's arms are a little bulging."

Military advisor: "He exchanged the silver notes he had hidden before for silver yesterday."

General Hou: "..."

Didn't he change it secretly? ! !

General Hou, who had given up competing with the two men in intelligence, silently took out the silver and handed it to Ji Changze.

"Is it enough?"

The military advisor took a look and was a little surprised that General Hou only hid such a small amount of money. He supported the table, stood up with some effort, and took out a few silver notes from his arms and handed them to Ji Changze.

"When a wanderer returns home, he naturally wants to return home in glory. Now he has to run around in the army, and it is not easy to bring his family with him. He can only wait until he settles down before taking them to his side. Mr. Ji, use this money to buy a house in his hometown and settle his relatives."

Ji Changze was not polite, took it and put it in his arms.

He threw the twenty taels given by General Hou in his hands.

"The silver notes given by the military advisor are enough, and the twenty taels given by the general..."

General Hou was originally looking at the twenty taels, but when he heard what Ji Changze said, his eyes lit up and he looked at Ji Changze with some expectation.

"Just give it back to the military advisor, so that the general won't be thinking about drinking with the silver."

General Hou: "..."

He almost watched the twenty taels being handed to the military advisor, and the military advisor put it in his arms, and then he gave up and retracted his gaze.

Hey, the silver that he had hidden with great difficulty.

No matter how much General Hou felt sorry for his money, he still followed the military advisor's wishes and assigned a group of soldiers to Ji Changze to escort the two back home.

In this world, more military force can make people feel at ease.

Ji Changze did not refuse and accepted it generously.

That day, he set off for Hu County.
