Luoyang Brocade Chapter 361: High and low
The emperor was very happy when he saw that Wei Yan and Taoist Yu had a "very pleasant conversation". He smiled and said: "Physician Wei, you have been with me for many years and you know my physical condition best. Master Yu I am preparing for the elixir training. If I need to ask you anything, you might as well tell me the truth. This will save the immortal master a lot of trouble."
Wei Yan respectfully agreed.
The emperor smiled at the Taoist priest again and said: "Master Yu Xian is good at practicing elixirs and must be very proficient in various medicines. The Imperial Physician Wei beside me has been studying art since he was a child, and he has been studying medicine for twenty years. Exquisite, no one can match it. When the immortal master has free time, he might as well have more discussions with Imperial Physician Wei. It is also a beautiful thing to learn from each other's strengths."
Taoist Master Yu shook the fly whisk in his hand: "I obey the emperor's will."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction.
The King of Yan lost no time in flattering him: "Let Imperial Physician Wei and Master Yu Xian teach each other, complement each other, and make progress together. My father is wise! My sons and ministers admire me!"
The wise emperor stroked his beard and smiled proudly.
He also felt that this was a brilliant idea.
Learning the elixir of immortality is indeed very tempting. However, he is not so stupid that he just believes whatever others say.
The efficacy of the elixir trained by Taoist Priest Yu is still uncertain. In addition to letting people test the medicine, Wei Yan also had to let Wei Yan study it carefully. With Wei Yan's medical skills, he can at least check whether the elixir has any harm to the body.
In this way, people can be put to their best use!
Wei Yan and Yu Daozhang were both smart people, and they quickly understood the emperor's intentions.
Of course Taoist priest Yu was unhappy. This is using him but not trusting him at the same time! What they were saying was that they clearly wanted Wei Yan to check his elixir!
As for Wei Yan, he was also stunned.
The emperor’s wishful thinking was quite good!
Of course, he will definitely cooperate "with all his strength"... lest the emperor be worried and dare not take the elixir.
……
After Taoist Priest and others retreated, the emperor deliberately kept Wei Yan behind.
"Mr. Wei, you have been by my side for so many years, and you are the person I trust most."
The emperor said kindly: "Master Yu is almost ready and is about to practice the first batch of elixirs. For seven to forty-nine days, the fire must not be interrupted, otherwise the elixir will not be produced."
"From today on, you will go to the alchemy room every day."
The emperor was afraid that Wei Yan would not understand what he meant, so he spoke more straightforwardly: "Look carefully at all the medicinal materials and equipment used in elixir training. If there is any conflict or any inappropriateness among them, you should You must come and report to me. Also, after the prepared elixir is presented, you and Dr. Zhou will check the elixir together. Only when you are sure that the elixir is fine will I take it."
Wei Yan received the decree with a solemn expression: "We will definitely do our best and never let down the emperor's expectations."
The emperor's expression softened: "Don't worry. The person I trust the most has always been you. Now you are still young and not suitable for a high position. After Dr. Zhang retires in old age, the position of doctor in this hospital will be yours. No one can take it away."
Ordinary imperial doctors only have fifth-grade positions. The doctor of Tai Hospital is a third-grade official. Being in charge of Tai Hospital is also an extremely prestigious position.
Wei Yan looked touched and grateful: "Your Majesty treats me so kindly. I really don't know how to repay Your Majesty for your kindness."
The emperor smiled and said: "How could I not know that you are loyal to me. You deserve this."
"Don't mention what I said to you today to the second person. Go back and have a good rest! Starting from tomorrow, go to the alchemy room."
Wei Yan once again received the order to thank him, and then resigned.
The emperor was quite proud of his arrangement, and he stroked his beard and smiled in a great mood.
……
From the next day on, Wei Yan had one more errand to do.
Every day, he would first diagnose the emperor's pulse and prescribe medicine to regulate his body. Then I have to go and stay in the alchemy room.
From the outside, this alchemy room looks very similar. The chambermaids, maids, and other people are not allowed to enter. All the things needed for alchemy training were prepared by the Taoist priests themselves, and the person guarding the fire was the Taoist boy beside Taoist Master Yu.
Several Taoist boys take turns guarding and controlling the fire. The size of the fire needs to be carefully controlled. A strong fire is required for four hours a day, then a warm fire for four hours, and at night, it is changed to a small fire.
The dosage and order of medicinal materials for elixir training are also very strict. These were all done by Taoist Master Yu himself, and the other Taoist priests could only help.
Wei Yan was ordered to enter the alchemy room, apparently to "ask for advice", but in fact he came to supervise the process of alchemy training.
Not only Wei Yan is aware of this, but Taoist Master Yu is also well aware of this.
Even if he was unhappy, Taoist Master Yu never showed any signs of it and was very polite to Wei Yan. Let Wei Yan look around.
Wei Yan opened his mouth to ask a question, but Taoist Master Yu never declined and would definitely answer it - of course, it is difficult to say the rough and detailed answer. Whether Wei Yan can understand it or not has nothing to do with him.
Wei Yan knew very well that he didn't like the Taoist Master's rejection, so he just didn't know. He came to the alchemy room on time every day and would stay at least half a day before leaving.
The Taoist priests inevitably muttered several times in front of Taoist Priest Yu: "This Dr. Wei is very handsome, but he is too young. Is his medical skill really as good as some people say?"
"It may not matter if you are famous. I think it means you are taking advantage of the Concubine Xian."
"Relying on the emperor's favor, he came to our alchemy practice room to show off his power!"
"He keeps asking questions all day long, looking aloof and condescending, which makes people uncomfortable."
"That's it..."
"Shut up!"
Taoist Priest Yu opened his mouth~IndoMTL.com~The Taoist priests immediately fell silent.
These Taoist priests usually live in separate quarters, and they all have some reputations and origins. Each one claims to be extraordinary and dissatisfied with each other. Now they are all invited to the palace by King Yan. They were originally a mess. Yu Taoist priest was a brilliant Taoist. He not only won the favor of King Yan, but also was highly regarded by the emperor. He became the leader of all Taoist priests.
At first there were still people who were unconvinced, but later they were secretly troubled by Taoist Master Yu several times and had to bow their heads and recognize the leader.
Taoist Master Yu glanced at him, his gaze as sharp as a knife: "Where is this place? Be careful what you say. That Wei Yan's medical skills are really good, otherwise, how could he have obtained it just by relying on the Concubine Xian? The emperor trusts and respects him so much! You must not underestimate him!"
The Taoist priests were shocked when they heard this, and they responded submissively.
"Whether this elixir can be mastered or not is related to our lives and future. You all should be more attentive!" Taoist Master Yu said in a deep voice: "As for Wei Yan, let's not worry about him for the time being. What's the matter? I will take care of everything. You don’t need to say too much in front of him, so as not to make mistakes by talking too much."
The Taoist priests did not dare to say anything and responded one by one. (To be continued.)
