Chapter 279 (2/2)
The arrival of Di Renjie liberated Li Hong from being surrounded by three aunts.
Li Hong pointed to Liu Shenwei, who was unable to move after being held on one arm by the two military guards, and said, ”rebellious, reckless, and deceiving the master to destroy the ancestors, he first took him to Dali temple and came back to ask his master to lead him.”Since entering the Dali temple, di Renjie has been hailed as a model of being observant and honest, but he is not a pedantic person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to be used as a prime minister after Wu Mei became the emperor.
After saluting Li Hong, di Renjie let the outside warders come in and escort Liu Shenwei out with the two military guards.
Although Liu Shenwei can't move his body, it doesn't mean his mouth can't move: ”Your Highness, please give me a reason. I haven't violated any laws of the Tang Dynasty...”
Li Hong picked up the big chicken leg which had not been moved by Li Ming on the case table of King Cao Li Ming, and quickly put it into Liu Shenwei's open mouth like lightning, and then wiped the greasy handle on Liu Shenwei's official uniform.
”Quack noise, your virtue is not suitable to be a doctor. You don't take the illness and pain of the common people as your own responsibility. You only know to enjoy Sun Simiao's immortal reputation. You are a waste. Go away.” Li Hong wiped his hands carefully and said faintly.
Li Zhi's eyes are so old. Looking at Li Hong, he simply and roughly stopped Liu Shenwei's accusation of injustice. What he admired in his heart was that he threw himself into the earth. He was so arrogant and powerful as his father.
Wu Mei looks at it, and secretly turns her mouth. She really can't afford to lose this person. How can a prince be so rude? No, she has to be well trained in the future. Everything is good. This is the way of doing things sometimes, and people want to beat him.
Several princesses of Lanling and several princes of King Cao were also stunned. They watched Li Hong wave his hand and let the warders leave. Then their eyes inadvertently swept over them, as if to see a hint of warning.
Di Renjie was about to leave when Li Hongli stopped him and said, ”you can go later. Help me to take care of my father and mother here.”
Li Hong has no reason to speak, make di Renjie confused, do not understand the prince's highness this is what the words mean.
Bewildered, he heard Li Hong ask him: ”by the way, I heard that when you were just born, you had the incurable disease of that day. Then your parents, under the pressure of other villagers, took you for the unknown reason of smallpox infection. They were afraid that you might implicate other people in the village, so they threw you on the mountain. Later, it was said that a Taoist priest passed through the mountains and heard your crying. Then he picked you up and gave you back to your parents. He also prescribed some medicines to your parents. He said that he would be cured after taking three days, but pockmarks would be left on his face. Is that true? ”
Li Hong looked at di Renjie, or at his pockmarked face.
Di Renjie could not help touching the pockmarks on his face, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: ”my highness, the empress and the prince, the pockmarks on the minister's face are when they were born...”
”You say it again. My father didn't hear him clearly. He went in and said something.” Li Hong took the shoulder and bumped Di Renjie.
Di Renjie was stunned and didn't understand Li Hong's meaning. He went on to say: ”the pockmarks on my face are...”
Li Hong once again hit Di Renjie with his shoulder, stopped Di Renjie's words again, put his arm around Di Renjie's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: ”you will die as I said. Don't you know that Lantian people are infected with smallpox. If I don't go, many people will die...”
”All right, all right. What are you threatening him for? As long as you can guarantee me to come back safe and sound, your father and I will allow you to go to Lantian to cure the people, but on one condition... ”
”You say, I promise promise, never regret.” Li Hong spreads Di Renjie's shoulder, two eyes a bright, looking at Li Zhi and Wu Mei said.
Li Hong once read about the pockmarks on di Renjie's face in the unofficial history. As for why there is such a statement, I'm afraid it is not because of the incurable disease of smallpox, but because of the pockmarks on his face that the anecdote of the cure of this incurable smallpox disease comes into being.
It is estimated that some people in the public or the officialdom made up such an anecdote to prove Di Renjie's inspirational story that he would not die after a disaster and that there must be a blessing after his death.
Li Hong looked at Wu Mei eagerly, but he heard Li Zhi say faintly: ”Yang Wu has been around me for many years now, and he is too old to serve me. This time you go to Lantian, let him serve you around. In this way, I can rest assured with your mother.”
