The young doctor felt the pulse of each of them. Almost everyone had some physical problems, such as disharmony of qi and blood, imbalance of yin and yang, internal dampness evil, invasion of heat evil, etc. He spoke very seriously. After the example of Zhenzhu Tongsaqin, the other Turks also believed him.
Finally, he prescribed a prescription for each person, and everyone had to recuperate.
"Thank you, Doctor Du."
Zhenzhu Tongsaqin spoke very respectfully, but didn't even move.
In the warm building, he was being over - confident and wanted to intimidate the princesses. Now he really couldn't move, not even an inch.
Du Jingtong smiled, "You're welcome."
Censor Xie somehow quietly stood behind Du Jingtong and poked him in the waist. Look, he still has to thank us!
Several people came down from the upper floor. Even the Tibetans came to join in the fun. "Doctor Du, Censor Xie, we heard that Zhenzhu Tongsaqin was injured, so we came here specially to have a look."
They just came to watch the show.
The Turks were really useless. They were actually outwitted by a few princesses and ended up in such a miserable state. How could they not come to take a look?
After all, the Turks and the Tibetans were also in an alliance.
Lu Dongzan saw Zhenzhu Tongsaqin on the couch looking pale. He could hardly move. His hair and beard were all white. The man seemed to be hanging on by a thread, just an empty shell. Lu Dongzan almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
He turned his face away and tried hard to hold back his laughter. Now he finally understood why the doctor had been sent. They couldn't let the Turkish envoy die in Chang'an.
It would be so inauspicious.
Sangbufa saw Lu Dongzan's expression and knew what was on his mind. He quickly said, "You all should have a good rest. We still have to go to pay homage to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty together."
His words pointed out the alliance between the two sides. The envoys of the two countries going to pay homage to Li Shimin together was to put pressure on Li Shimin and make him agree to their requests.
"Of course." Zhenzhu Tongsaqin replied. He still had to make Li Shimin agree to marry Princess Xinxing to their Turks.
Zhenzhu Tongsaqin saw clearly the gloating looks of Lu Dongzan and the others. Among these people, only Sangbufa had a bit of brains, but Lu Dongzan was always on guard against him, afraid that he would become a high - ranking official.
Suddenly, the words that Chu Suiliang had said popped up in his mind and kept playing on a loop, "Do you think the Tibetans really want to join hands with you? You'll be sold and still count the money for others!"
Did it really matter whether they were sincere or not? Achieving their Turkish goals was the most important thing!
For a moment, the room of the Turks was full of people and very lively.
The young doctor said, "Everyone, please leave. Too many people will hinder their recuperation."
"Okay, okay. Then we'll listen to the doctor. Brother Zhenzhu Tongsaqin, we'll leave first."
Lu Dongzan waved his hand with a big smile and led his people back.
Zhenzhu Tongsaqin, who had been galloping on the battlefield for so many years, was so shrewd when he was young. Lu Dongzan often heard about his stories.没想到, when he got old, his mind wasn't working properly. He was played around by a few princesses of the Tang Dynasty.
Du Jingtong led Censor Xie and the young doctor away. Only the servants occasionally brought up bowls of herbal medicine.
Zhenzhu Tongsaqin learned his lesson this time. He took the prescription and sent someone to invite another doctor.
The doctor invited this time was in his forties or fifties, Doctor Ding from the Qinghe Medical Hall next door. He felt the pulses of Zhenzhu Tongsaqin and the others in turn. His explanation was almost the same as that of the young doctor just now, and in some places, it was even more serious.
For example, the hidden injury of Zhenzhu Tongsaqin became a huge pain that was about to break out in his mouth. If he didn't take medicine to recuperate for a year or two, he would die.
To be honest, he was much more skilled and fluent in bluffing people than the young doctor. He scared those people silly.
Zhenzhu Tongsaqin and the others quickly drank up the cold medicine brought by the servants in one gulp.
On the first floor, where Du Jingtong handled official business.
Censor Xie was smiling very proudly. He quickly poured a cup of tea for Du Jingtong. "Doctor, what do you think of my idea? He still has to thank us!"
"You, you have a bit of小聪明, but not much." Du Jingtong picked up the teacup and said with emotion on his face, "You and Xie Wu are brothers from the same mother. Why is Xie Wu more reliable than you?"
Du Jingtong, Censor Xie Yu, and Xie Wu, the county lieutenant of Chang'an County, had been friends since childhood. They knew each other earlier than Li Jingyun and Su Gui, so they didn't have so many scruples when speaking.
"What's wrong with小聪明? As long as it's useful. Look at Zhenzhu Tongsaqin's expression. He wished he could bite Lu Dongzan to vent his anger. My mother always compares me with Xie Wu. Why do you say so too?" Xie Yu smiled until his eyes were almost gone. People who didn't know would think he was about to fly to the sky.
Even when his younger brother Xie Wu was mentioned, he didn't show much reaction.
The young doctor said, "Are you still happy? Your salaries have been forfeited. I've helped you so much. Don't you have any rewards for me?"
The salaries of Du Jingtong and his brother for the next year were gone, all because of the sweater that Xie Yu wore. Li Shimin wasn't really angry. He just forfeited a little salary as a minor punishment.
He was the disciple of Taoist Sun Simiao. He was only fifteen this year, at an impulsive age. This time he was impulsive. In order to stall Zhenzhu Tongsaqin and the others and make them lie in bed for a few more days and suffer more, he listened to Xie Yu's words.
Those medicines could be taken or not. The only use was to delay their recovery and make it not so easy for them to get well.
"Of course there are rewards. How could there not be?" Xie Yu's smile became a bit forced. He really forgot about this.
Du Jingtong said, "Don't you always want to have a meal at the West Building? We'll treat you. Don't worry. We still have the money for this."
"It's a deal!"
This young doctor also liked delicious food. He had high talent in medicine. He was willing to follow Sun Simiao, who had no fixed abode and drifted around, as his disciple, just because Sun Simiao said he could travel around the country and eat delicious food everywhere.
"Then let's go now?" The young doctor suddenly stood up and was eager to leave.
Du Jingtong looked up at the upper floor and just saw Doctor Ding coming down. "How's it going?"
"Reporting to Doctor, everything is done. Zhenzhu Tongsaqin is extremely panicked."
Doctor Ding saluted and replied.
"That's good. Let's go. I'll treat you today. The West Building!"
"Thank you, Doctor." Doctor Ding's wrinkled face stretched out in a smile. This job was really comfortable. He could not only trick the Turks but also get a free meal.
"What's this?" Xie Wu was stunned. How did Old Ding next door get involved?
They didn't even tell him in advance!
"I was worried that your plan would be exposed, so I invited another person to play along." Du Jingtong explained, "In this kind of thing, it's all about using your wits."
