Chapter 68 Feng Shui takes turns
Chapter 68 Feng Shui turns
Walking out of the back hall, Xie Hong was worried and frowned.
Unlike the people in this small county town, the big figures in the capital are much more skillful. Liu Jin calmly swallowed up his credit, and even blocked his future path, without any way. Faced with such an opponent, those small methods to deal with the enemy in the county are useless, but he didn't understand politics or strategy at all. What should he do?
Alas, Xie Hong sighed secretly. Not to mention these big figures, even these little figures in the county almost made him capsize. Although he prepared quite well and used the skills of later generations, he was still attacked by Butler Gu, and he almost got confused. He still underestimated the ancients.
How should we get close to Zhengde? Xie Hong is very worried. Going to the capital? It must not work. With Liu Jin staring at him, Wang Yue is also unknown to us. I guess he would be killed by these two old monsters before he approached Zhengde. Then... he had to go to Xuanfu, and Xie Hong tried hard to recall everything about Zhengde.
Although he remembered that Zhengde liked to go to Xuanfu very much and even built a mansion in Xuanfu, he couldn't remember when that happened. It wasn't that Zhengde had just ascended the throne and ran to Xuanfu, right? Xie Hong smiled bitterly. Even if he had no historical knowledge, he knew that it was impossible.
The current situation is that there is a struggle in the palace, and both sides of the fight don’t like him. Even if Wang Yue comes to win over, he may not dare to go. After all, Liu Jin is the one who finally gains power. It is normal for the old man to fight the new man. If he foolishly throws over, he might be implicated.
But Liu Jin obviously didn't take himself seriously. He should pay attention to it, but he only valued his skills and the crafts he made. He was very disliked by himself and didn't even want to let him go to Beijing. Xie Hong was puzzled, did he not offend this eunuch? Did he take the account of the collapse of the pagoda to himself?
It was a little messy, Xie Hong patted his forehead helplessly.
"Congratulations to Lord Xie, I must have given you an additional title in the imperial edict, right?"
Xie Hong and Eunuch Liu talked for a long time in the back hall. Doctor Gu was so anxious. Eunuch Liu's instructions to him were to take the pagoda back when Eunuch Xiao Liu returned to the palace. However, Eunuch Liu was very nervous. He asked indirectly many times along the way, but he didn't ask about the specific content of the imperial edict, so he was very anxious.
So, he had been waiting outside the back hall. When he saw Xie Hong coming out, he immediately rushed forward to him.
Xie Hong looked up and saw that it was him, and he felt even more unhappy. He was given an official position, but this official position was not meaningful. Being threatened and tempted by a dead eunuch would affect his mood even more.
Just as he was about to leave with a cold face, the county magistrate Wang came up and asked, "Thank you, how do you say it in the imperial edict?"
Magistrate Wang was also worried. He said he had gone to seclusion to practice calligraphy in order to avoid right and wrong. No matter what Mr. Lu did or what consequences he would cause, as long as he appeared at the end and blamed Mr. Lu. However, he was not sure about Xie Hong, for fear that this young man who was holding a grudge would not forgive him, so he was also very concerned about the content of the imperial edict.
"Actually it's nothing, it's just being promoted to Qianhu, Jinyiwei, and I want a music score in the palace." Xie Hongneng guessed that Magistrate Wang was thinking, but he did not intend to break up with Magistrate Wang. After all, this man had the kindness of promoting him at the beginning. If it weren't for this, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with the Chen family that day.
As for him allowing Master Lu to do whatever he wants, he was just afraid of the power of the Gu family and to protect himself. Xie Hong could understand this idea. Now Master Lu and others have been taken down, and Xie Hong didn't want to make more trouble.
Besides, after talking to Eunuch Liu, he also had some idea of the situation in the palace and felt that it was too late. If he could not approach Zhengde earlier, Liu Jin's power would be even greater, and it would be even more difficult for him to make a comeback. The only way now is to go to Xuanfu, thinking about other ways while waiting for Zhengde's arrival.
However, my mother's illness was not cured for a day and she couldn't get off for a day. Xie Hong sighed in her heart. She didn't expect that getting close to Zhengde was such a difficult thing. In fact, thinking about it, Zhengde is the emperor and the number one person in the world. Even if he was a little off-line, it was not so easy to get close to. He was just too naive before.
"Embroidered Uniform Guard..." Magistrate Wang was in a complicated mood. Xie Hong's official rank was higher than him, but he was not jealous. The civil and military officials were of different paths. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the status of military officers was far inferior to that of civil servants. Although the Jinyiwei was the emperor's personal army, in Magistrate Wang's heart, he was far from being as good as that of his seventh-rank magistrate.
However, he did not dare to underestimate the fact that the Jinyiwei was responsible for the investigation, and these civil servants were the civil servants. Xie Hong's future was not as good as his, but it was easy to make things difficult for him.
"Then congratulations to the chief clerk, no, Lord."
"Mr. Magistrate, you don't have to be so polite. I still have some things to deal with, so I will take my leave first." Xie Hong said politely and was about to leave. Anyway, he was not from the yamen now, so it would be better to deal with his own affairs as soon as possible.
"Sir Xie, what's going on with the pagoda..." Yu Dai Gu originally wanted to wait for Xie Hong to return to the chief clerk's office to talk about it, but when he saw Xie Hong raise his foot, he walked out. He didn't care much for a moment and said hurriedly.
"Mr. Gu, you insisted on buying that day. I checked it before buying. You and I have both money and goods. Now you are here to find me again?" Xie Hong waved his hand, very impatient.
"Mr. Xie, you have many mistakes. You are not aware of Mount Tai. Please don't worry about it if you have a lot of them."
The imperial doctor Gu looked flattering, and the magistrate Wang who was watching was extremely surprised. He was just a thousand households in the Jinyiwei. Lord Gu was obviously an imperial doctor and had seen the world. Why did he stick to him so despicable? It was so strange.
"It's not that I am concerned about it, but that this pagoda was not made by me. The craftsman who made it is in Henan, and he is far away. He is still in a state of uncertainty. My mother is still ill. How can I have time to run for you?"
Xie Hong didn't want to help him at all. He did his best first and then helped him fix it after finishing it. How boring and kind I have to do such a thing.
Besides, he doesn't want to admit the matter at all now. If it was done by himself, how could he rude Liu Jin's request for the dead eunuch in the future?
"Sir, this matter is related to the lives of hundreds of people in the Gu family. You can't refuse to save him." The old man was so anxious that he knelt in front of Xie Hong, hugged his legs, and repeatedly said: "It doesn't matter Lingtang's illness, it's all about him. If you are guaranteed by your life, you will definitely recover as soon as possible."
Magistrate Wang felt that the scene in front of him was a little familiar. Well, it looked very similar to the day he brought Xie Hong to seek medical treatment. He didn't even change people, one begged, the other refused, and he was the one who was watching, and the two sides said similarly. However, the role was changed, and Doctor Gu's posture was lower than Xie Hong's that day. Is this a turn of feng shui?
"But..." Xie Hong was a little hesitant. He could not believe in the old man's medical ethics. What if he learned from himself and tried to deal with the disease?
"Is it true that I can't believe me?" Seeing him hesitating, Doctor Gu said again: "When I apply acupuncture and medication, I can find other doctors to watch as a supervision. Moreover, if there is any recurrence in the future, I will just come and look for the bad luck."
"But did Lord Gu say that day that his mother was not in Hao's life, would she exceed the limit if she asked the imperial doctor to treat her?" After hearing what he said, Xie Hong felt a little relaxed and pondered slightly.
After hearing this, Gu Yuyi was relieved and he was still mentally prepared for Xie Hong's revenge, but he still didn't expect that he was so strong. This sentence was said when he refused to take the doctor that day, and it was just an excuse. Unexpectedly, he was raised again today, which really made him cry without tears.
Gu Yuyi said with a clear mind: "I used to have skills but not morality. I received the guidance of the adults and decided to change my past mistakes. After Lingtang recovered from his illness, I will also resign from his position as an imperial physician and return to Beizhuang to practice medicine and provide medicine, and hang a pot to help the people of the world."
The old man was helpless. After the collapse of the pagoda, he had become a joke in the palace. Not only did his colleagues disdain to join him, but even the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace only enjoyed him and refused to find him for treatment. This time, he was also given the strict orders of the father-in-law Liu Jin. If he hadn't been thinking about the family members, he would have had the heart to kill him.
Xie Hong was his last life-saving straw. If the pagoda was repaired, at least he would be able to escape from the capital. So he didn't care about his moral integrity, just begged and cried bitterly.
"Mr. Xie, please say something." Magistrate Wang suddenly said: "Mr. Gu's medical skills are very clever. He was already well-known in Xuanfu back then. Masters around him also asked for medical treatment. Why not let Master. Gu give it a try."
Magistrate Wang was also a little selfish when he said this. His impression of Xie Hong was also very complicated. At first, he felt that the young man was very friendly, not greedy, and polite. He admired him quite a lot. He had already had the intention to take Xie Hong as his confidant and help him in the future.
When he came back from the capital, he found that this young man usually had a spring breeze to people with less status than him, but when facing some people with higher identities, he looked like a hedgehog. Once he was angry, he had no idea to leave room for a counterattack. How could a young man from a civilian background have such a personality? County Magistrate Wang was very puzzled.
Naturally, he would not know that Xie Hong was born in time in later generations. This kind of character that is usually harmless and even a little careless, but when he is provoked, he will fight back strongly is one of the characteristics of later generations.
During this incident, Magistrate Wang's impression of the situation changed again. He just couldn't bear to take action against Xie Hong himself, and he didn't dare to offend the Gu family, so he simply hid and let Master Lu do whatever he wanted. However, he didn't expect that this was the result. He no longer dared to treat Xie Hong as a junior anymore, and he did not dare to underestimate him, and was even afraid that Xie Hong would take revenge on him.
As for the extent of offending Xie Hong, it must be that Doctor Gu is ranked first, and the others are just minions. If Xie Hong and Doctor Gu reconcile, there should be no reason to cause trouble for him. After all, I am just afraid of hiding, and it is far from being offended.
"Yes, sir, I will do my best to do my best, just hope sir, don't dislike me." After hearing someone's agreement, Doctor Gu continued to express his feelings.
"Okay, it's all for Lord Gu." Both of them said this, and Xie Hong also thought about this. And time was tight, so one day earlier, there would be more opportunities. Only by getting close to the emperor can we truly gain a foothold in this era and protect ourselves.
