The emperor got up and turned around twice, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, the power will be concentrated in the six departments, and the Yushitai, which supervises all officials, will also need to be reformed. An'er, go and invite the six ministers and the elders, and we will discuss some."

The prince hurriedly looked at Gu Jingyun, his eyes complaining endlessly, saying that their original intention was to let the emperor have more time to rest, right?

"Your Majesty, the minister's suggestion of reform is not to make you more busy, but to let you recuperate at ease. Why not leave the matter of reform to the crown prince?"

The emperor looked at his son, shook his head and said, "I'll do it myself."

The interests involved in this matter are too great. Even if Li An is the prince, he is not at ease. Are there not many princes who were pulled down because of touching the interests of courtiers in history?

He felt that he was going to die anyway, so it was better not to drag his sons into it before he died, so that they would turn against each other and fight for the heir apparent.

The emperor believed that if he really handed over this matter to the crown prince, he was afraid that someone would contact the second and third princes the next day and incite the two sons to compete with their eldest brother.

"Your Majesty, as long as you trust His Highness the Crown Prince enough, why are you afraid of a little conspiracy? Your Majesty doesn't want to see His Highness's ability to see if he can manage a country well. To take a step back, it is because he was defeated. There is still His Majesty, and there is always a chance to start all over again. But if he tries to fail after ascending to the throne of God, then he will no longer have a supporter behind him."

Li An immediately knelt at the emperor's feet, raised his head and said, "Father, let the ministers handle this matter, and you can just rest in peace and recuperate."

His eyes were slightly red, he lowered his head and leaned on his knees and said: "You have been hard for half your life, and you have never enjoyed any blessings. I still want you and your mother to take care of me, so I think it is because of my filial piety. You also want to live a long and healthy life."

The emperor's hands on his knees were clenched into fists, hesitating in his heart.

The four imperial physicians looked at each other, and finally stepped forward and knelt down unanimously: "Your Majesty, please agree to the prince's request. Your Majesty, if you can rest assured to recover from your illness, then the time we can buy must be more than one and a half years."

Although they don't know how long the emperor can live, but if he really can stop working and recuperate at ease, and follow the doctor's advice, they believe that the emperor can live for more than one and a half years.

They are too hospital and not all vegetarian!

Seeing that the emperor was hesitant, Li Baolu coughed lightly and said, "If your majesty still can't decide, why not ask the empress dowager."

"Queen?"

Li Baolu nodded, "She is your mother, the one who gave birth to you and raised you. Your life is due to her. Now the decision is about your life. Naturally, you should ask the empress dowager."

Li Baolu glanced at the kneeling imperial physicians, and said with a smile, "Wait until His Majesty makes a decision before announcing me into the palace, if I'm still needed to explain His Majesty's illness."

The imperial doctors wanted to cry, but they knew that they would hear such explosive and confidential things when they entered the apse, so they wouldn't come in even if they were killed.

Now they are not only standing on the same boat with the emperor, but also with the crown prince. If they don’t want to die, they have to keep their mouths shut. At the same time, of course, His Majesty can live as long as possible. Anyway, there are already two knives on the neck, and it's okay to set up another one.

The imperial physicians decided to give His Majesty acupuncture and moxibustion today.

The emperor also put aside his worries for the time being, and turned to take a bath and change clothes. The imperial doctors looked at each other, saluted and turned to go down to make preparations.

Li Baolu also took a look at Gu Jingyun and the prince before stepping back. She had to teach Xu Yuanzheng about acupuncture, so she also had to prepare.

There were only two masters and apprentices left in the hall.

The prince was still kneeling on the ground, he sat down on the ground, looked at Gu Jingyun with his red and swollen eyes, and asked, "When did you get this idea, Mister?"

Gu Jingyun sat down on the chair next to him, looked down at the crown prince, "What are you thinking?"

"reform."

Gu Jingyun frowned and thought about it, and said: "When you asked me about the Yongding River water conservancy project, a small water conservancy project was piled up on the cabinet's desk for nearly three months and had not been approved. Call back to the local government from the Ministry of Households. After the revision of the local government, it will be submitted to the Ministry of Finance, but the Ministry of Finance has no right to decide to submit it to the cabinet again... The plan cost only 80,000 silver, but it took nearly half a year to push back and forth. It was resolved so 'quickly', Youan, do you think the cabinet and the six ministries shouldn't be changed?"

Li An paused in his heart, nodded bitterly and said: "Yes, but that happened when I was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It has been more than a year, why didn't you mention it to me?"

Reform doesn't mean that reform can be reformed. Sometimes it takes several years to prepare. He doesn't understand why the husband didn't disclose it to him in advance, but suddenly brought it up in front of everyone.

Gu Jingyun paused while turning the teacup, would he say that he didn't worry about it?

He raised his eyes, looked at Li An innocently and said, "I'm getting old, I can't remember some unrecorded things. If I didn't rush to talk about it this time, I wouldn't remember it."

Li An looked into Gu Jingyun's eyes seriously but seriously, lay down on the floor for a while, spread his limbs like a dead fish and looked at the roof, wanting to cry without tears: "Sir, I am four years older than you age-"

Gu Jingyun turned his head and remained silent.

Li An jumped up and said, "Could you be more distracted by the government? By the way, how long has it been since you went to the Imperial Academy? Are you still receiving the salary of a fourth-rank attendant?"

Gu Jingyun said displeasedly: "Every ten days it's my turn to enter the palace to give lectures to the princes. I come here, and I finish the books handed over to me by the academy on time. Although I didn't go to the Imperial Academy, I still receive this salary. No shame."

He didn't get his salary for nothing, and his workload was not much worse than that of ordinary Hanlin, but he was efficient.

Li An didn't care, he felt that the husband didn't take his matter to heart at all, and even said he couldn't remember such an important thing, so he had to make the husband feel uncomfortable when he said anything.

The master and the apprentice were fighting wits and courage, and Li Baolu had already started twisting needles for the emperor's acupuncture.

While giving needles, he explained to Xu Yuanzheng.

This set of acupuncture and moxibustion was invented by Li Bo, and it was invented for Gu Jingyun's condition.

He was so weak when he was born that even Li Bo, a specialist in pediatrics, was not sure if he would survive, so he could only hang himself with medicine.

It's that the medicine is three-point poisonous, not to mention that the medicine in Gu Jingyun's medicine has to ensure his vitality is quite heavy at the beginning, so the internal organs are all damaged and toxins are accumulated.

Li Bo's heart as a doctor couldn't bear to see him die so early, so he tried his best to use acupuncture and moxibustion to regulate the internal organs, and it can also pull out the poison.

Pull out the poison accumulated in the five internal organs, and regulate the internal organs to store energy and absorb energy. At this time, the emperor's physical condition was even worse than Gu Jingyun's at the beginning, but this set of acupuncture and moxibustion was very suitable for him, so Li Baolu proposed to use acupuncture and moxibustion.

Xu Yuan was recording the whole process, and he sighed in his heart. If Li Bo hadn't had any accidents back then, he might be the leader of the Taiyuan Hospital at this time.

Li Baolu wiped the sweat off his forehead after finishing the needle, covered the sleeping emperor with a thin blanket, and turned to look at Xu Yuanzheng.

The two backed away quietly, and Director Su glanced at the emperor, and saw that he was sleeping soundly, so he followed out obediently.

Xu Yuanzheng praised: "This set of acupuncture and moxibustion methods of Imperial Doctor Li is really exquisite, not only suitable for frail men, I'm afraid it is also suitable for children and women."

"It's designed for kids, it's gentle on nature, so it's suitable for anyone."

Xu Yuanzheng pondered for a while and said: "Although I have written them all down, I am afraid there may be shortcomings. Next time when acupuncture and moxibustion, please ask Mrs. Gu to come into the palace and watch."

"good."

Li Baolu looked back at Director Su, and said with a smile: "Director Su, Your Majesty is tired, and I'm afraid I'll sleep until tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to eat dinner. But it's better for the cook to warm up something, and wait for His Majesty to wake up. can eat."

Director Su was surprised, "Your Majesty always sleeps less, this, can you sleep so long?"

Li Baolu nodded affirmatively and said, "Sure."

This set of acupuncture and moxibustion has the effect of helping sleep. At this time, the emperor's body and mind are relaxed, and the sleepiness accumulated over the years must be eliminated by sleep, so this time he will definitely sleep forever. As long as there is no loud noise, he will not wake up.

Director Su dubiously guarded the emperor in the apse, and immediately fell asleep on the soft couch.

The quality of the emperor's sleep is not good. He goes to bed late every day, wakes up early, and always suffers from insomnia. If you really count it, the emperor may not even sleep for three hours a day, but this time he fell asleep from a nap in the evening Woke up hungry in the morning.

Director Su happily gave the emperor a bowl of noodles, and seeing that he was in good spirits, he told him what happened after he fell asleep.

"Xu Yuanzheng and the three imperial doctors are taking His Majesty's pulse and said, if His Majesty can sleep like this every day, then his body will recover faster."

The emperor also felt that he was in good spirits now, and said with a smile: "Then tomorrow, no, it should be today. In the afternoon, I will ask Chunxi to come into the palace to give me another piercing."

"The servant also said the same thing, but Mrs. Gu taught the servant a good lesson, saying that although acupuncture is good, it must be done step by step and not too complicated. In the current situation of Your Majesty, acupuncture every two days is the best. But To help you sleep, you can massage every day, although the effect is not as good as acupuncture, it still has some effect.”

The emperor laughed and said, "Chunxi, she will scold you? You, you, you, arrange her again, be careful that she will annoy you if she finds out."

Director Su said with a smile: "Your servant did not lie this time. Mrs. Gu has indeed disciplined my servant, and Xu Yuanzheng can testify. This servant saw that she was really worried about His Majesty, that's why she got angry."

The emperor shook his head, got up and walked around to digest, sighed: "Don't worry, I know their kindness, and they didn't say those words for the sake of the prince."

Director Su smiled embarrassedly, "Your Majesty has wronged the servant. Mrs. Gu did discipline the servant, but her tone was not harsh, and it was okay to say it was an exhortation. Master Gu is still very proud, and I heard that he let His Highness roll on the ground." , I laughed at His Highness very much."

Seeing him like this, the emperor couldn't help pointing at him and laughing: "You, you. Come and tell me why the prince is rolling on the ground?"
