Chapter 81 Reward

Yang Shuang is only 25 years old this year and has always been strong and healthy. She suddenly fell ill, which caught everyone off guard. Yang Jian sent the doctors from the Imperial Hospital to the Wei Wang Mansion one by one. Unfortunately, no doctor was diagnosed with King Wei's illness. Yang Jian was so angry that he scolded the Imperial Medical Order. If it weren't for their treatment of Yang Shuang, he would have wished to send out a few to behead him.

When Yang Yong heard that Yang Shuang was seriously ill, Yang Yong was shocked. His hands and feet were cold for a moment, and the Crown Princess was so scared that she shouted in Yang Yong's ear. Yang Yong came to his senses and looked at Yuan Qing'er who was worried and forced to smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Although Yang Yong did not remember the time when the Sui Dynasty unified the south in history, he clearly remembered that the head coach should have been held by Yang Guang. The merit of destroying the country could gain great reputation for anyone. It was because of this that Yang Guang received support from many ministers. However, this time the emperor did not consider Yang Guang at all. Yang Yong thought history had changed, but he did not expect that the scheduled head coach would suddenly be seriously ill. Yang Yong suddenly felt that the current situation was impermanent. Could it be that the position of head coach Chen would fall on Yang Guang's head?

"No, Amo, I can't let the position of commander fall on you anyway. This is good to you. Otherwise, even if you don't have the intention to replace him now, you will lead hundreds of thousands of troops to push Chen State wither and return in triumphant times, and your subordinates will be unwilling to be lonely and indulge you to oppose me. Instead of fighting against brothers at that time, it's better to kill the danger now." Yang Yong thought to himself and stood up: "Qing'er, prepare for it, let's go to visit King Wei."

Yang Yong and Yuan Qing'er rushed to the Wei Wang Mansion. There were crowds of people outside the Wei Wang Mansion, all of whom were wearing blue and purple clothes. These officials wanted to take the opportunity to get in touch with the Wei Wang Mansion when they got the news that Wei Wang was sick, so they rushed to the Wei Wang Mansion with gifts, but they couldn't even get in. They could only squeeze outside and wanted to hand the gifts in. Unfortunately, the royal mansion is now in a mess, so they are not in the mood to accept gifts, so they refuse to accept them all.

Seeing that there was no chance, some officials had to go back with gifts in disappointment, while some officials were not giving up and kept waiting outside the palace. Their carriages and sedan chairs lined up hundreds of meters outside the palace.

Seeing the prince and the princess came here in person, the officials quickly moved the road away. Yang Yong was in the mood to pay attention to these officials who were determined to flatter him and drove directly into the Wei Prince's Mansion. The Wei Princess had already received the news and had personally greeted him outside the mansion.

Princess Wei’s surname is Liu, and she comes from a prominent family and has a beautiful appearance. Yang Yong has been to Princess Wei’s mansion many times and is naturally familiar with Princess Wei. At this moment, Princess Wei is not as calm as usual, with red and swollen eyes and haggard face, as if she had just cried.

Yang Yong was shocked: "Auntie, how is Uncle Wang?"

"Crown Prince, your Uncle Wang is no longer possible. You can take a look at him quickly, otherwise your uncle and nephew will not even see you for the last time." Liu said in a crying voice.

Yang Yong was very anxious and did not care about etiquette. He threw Yuan Qing'er, Princess Wei and others away and rushed directly to Yang Shuang's bedroom. Several white-bearded old men in the imperial physician's office dress were gathered around the big bed and muttering. When he heard someone coming in, these people did not raise their heads.

Yang Yong asked in a deep voice: "How is King Wei's illness?"

One person shouted, "Who, go out quickly!" He looked up and saw that it was Yang Yong, and was shocked. Several old men hurriedly knelt down: "See Your Highness the Prince."

"Get up, tell me quickly, how is King Wei's illness?" Yang Yong said anxiously.

"Go back to Your Highness, the old minister is incompetent." Several old men with white beards were about to kneel down again.

Yang Yong was impatient and walked around the imperial physicians blocking the front and came to Yang Shuang's bed. Yang Shuang's eyes were closed and his face was lying on the bed with a yellow face, as if he was a dead person. Yang Yong tried Yang Shuang's nose with his fingers before he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was still breathing.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Yang Yong looked at Yang Shuang in disbelief. Yang Shuang was chatting and laughing in the court yesterday. Unexpectedly, just one day later, she was like a person who had been sick for several months and was about to die.

"Tell me, what kind of disease does Uncle Wang have?"

"The old minister is incompetent."

"The old minister is incompetent, and the old minister is incompetent. You will not say anything except these words. The Imperial Hospital is offering you a bunch of waste." Yang Yong was anxious and did not care about respecting the elderly and loving the young. He pointed at the old doctors and cursed.

These people have been practicing medicine for decades and have some real skills. If they dare to fight against the prince in normal times, they can only shrink their heads and let Yang Yong scold them. If they cannot be cured, it would be fine. The key is that they can't find out the cause of the disease. They are very ashamed and can only let the prince scold them.

As soon as Yuan Qing'er entered the door, she heard Yang Yong's scolding and felt very surprised. Yang Yong rarely cursed in the East Palace. He didn't expect that he would curse so fiercely in the Wei Palace. Seeing that these old doctors, who were over 60 years old, knelt on the ground without saying a word, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, why are you so angry?"

Yang Yong realized that it would be useless to scold these imperial physicians alone. If he was too anxious, these people would make a fool of themselves and use medicine for Yang Shuang indiscriminately, which would slow down his tone: "I was a little anxious just now. You all get up and treat King Wei well. If King Wei can be cured, I will reward you very much."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Several old doctors dared to stand up tremblingly, and regained Yang Shuang's pulse, observed and whispered from time to time, exchanging opinions.

After leaving Yang Shuang's room, Yang Shuang and Yuan Qing'er came to the main hall of the royal palace. Although Princess Liu was sad, she knew that staying in Yang Shuang's room would only disturb the imperial physician's treatment of Yang Shuang. She also followed her to the main hall. After the guest and host, she had a maid from the royal palace to bring incense tea to Yang Yong and Yuan Qing'er.

The tea leaves in the royal palace are naturally very picky. Through the porcelain cup, Yang Yong could already smell the faint fragrance of tea in his nose. Unfortunately, Yang Yong didn’t have the intention to drink tea at this time and asked Liu: “Aunt, how did Uncle Wang’s illness arise? Are there any signs before?”

Speaking of Yang Shuang's illness, Liu's eyes turned red again: "There is no sign of symptoms. When he came back from court yesterday, King Wei was in good health. He was still practicing martial arts in the martial arts hall for a while. But after coming out of the martial arts hall, King Wei was immediately turned white and he couldn't stand steadily. He fainted on the ground. Since last night, he has not woken up yet."

"Auntie, I mean King Wei didn't wake up after he fell into a coma?"

Liu nodded, and Yang Yong took a breath. Yang Shuang's illness was much more serious than she thought. No wonder these imperial physicians have been unable to judge the symptoms of King Wei from yesterday to now. If King Wei had a few shortcomings, he would be like losing a strong support.

Yang Yong could no longer sit still, stood up from the chair, and said to himself: "If you can't continue like this, you must find a way to save King Wei."

The imperial physician could not even detect the symptoms of King Wei, and could not count on them anymore. Only by looking at the people could find a better doctor. The people with excellent medical skills in the Sui Dynasty were Yao Sengyuan, Xu Yinzong and the two of them. Yao Sengyuan was the adoptive father of the Crown Princess. Unfortunately, in the third year of Kaihuang, Yao Sengyuan had passed away at the age of 84. Since Xu Yinzong parted with Yang Yong, no one knew where he went, and even if he wanted to find it, he could not find it.

Apart from these two people, who else can have better medical skills than doctors in the Imperial Hospital? Yang Yong shook his head, but now he can only treat the dead horse as a living horse, and advised Liu: "Aunt, Uncle Wang's illness cannot be delayed. Since the Imperial Hospital has been unable to come up with a treatment method, I want to offer a reward from the public for medical experts, hoping to be helpful to Uncle Wang."

Liu nodded. Although she was from a prominent family, she usually managed the royal palace in an orderly manner. However, after seven years of marriage, she did not give birth to a man or a woman. Even Yang Shuang's concubines were the same. When Yang Shuang was sick, she was in chaos. If Yang Shuang had any accidents, she would not know how to spend the rest of her life.

"Since my aunt agrees, the palace will immediately send someone to post a notice. The East Palace offers a reward of 100 taels of silver and 500 stakes of copper coins to treat the King of Wei. If someone in the folk can cure the King of Wei, not only can he get a reward of 100 taels of silver and 500 stakes of copper coins, but he can also recommend him to enter the Imperial Hospital Office. Those who do not want to join the Imperial Medical Office can also get a seventh-rank or above position in the East Palace. How about it?"

In order to attract people with excellent medical skills to come to apply for the levy, Yang Yong could afford higher silver and money. However, at this time, the bounty of 100 taels of silver and 500 stag of copper coins was already high enough, which was enough for a middle-aged family to have food and clothing for a lifetime. The annual income of the Eastern Palace was only 50,000 shi of rice. If too much was paid, it would probably arouse others' suspicion of the Eastern Palace's silver and money. Moreover, if there were people who looked down on these money and gave them official positions, they would undoubtedly attract people to apply for the levy. Of course, no matter how much the price was paid, no matter how much it was, it would be helpless.

Princess Wei wiped her tears and bent down to Yang Yong and bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!"

"Aunt, this is not allowed." Although Princess Wei is only two or three years older than Yang Yong, she is Yang Yong's elder. Seeing her saluting to her, Yang Yong was at a loss for a moment and had to win over Yuan Qing'er and ask her to help Princess Wei up.

Yuan Qing'er understood and hurriedly supported Princess Wei: "Auntie, when she heard that Uncle Wang was sick, the prince was extremely anxious. Now she was just doing her best. Unfortunately, her adoptive father had been there four years ago, otherwise there would be no need to be such trouble."

When Liu thought of Yao Sengyuan's brilliant medical skills, he felt very sorry. Now the main medicine of the Imperial Medical Office is Yao Sengyuan's disciple, but unfortunately the medical skills are too far from Yao Sengyuan.

"If you can cure King Wei well, I will not be stingy about money. A hundred taels of silver and five hundred stags of copper coins is already 100% of the annual income of the Eastern Palace. This reward should be paid by the King of Wei's mansion." Princess Wei was born in a prominent family. Although she was still in grief, she immediately considered the difficulty of the prince. Although the annual salary and rewards of King of Wei were not as good as those of the Eastern Palace, she was just that King of Wei often led troops outside and had some extra income. Her financial resources were actually stronger than that of the Eastern Palace. If King of Wei had three long and two short, what's the use of keeping money?

If Yang Yong had only relied on the income of the East Palace, he would not have done anything. However, there was no way to explain this to Princess Wei. Seeing that Princess Wei insisted on giving out, Yang Yong couldn't refuse: "Aunt, why not do this? The East Palace will give out one, and the Princess Wei's Mansion will give out one, and the reward stated that if someone can cure King Wei, he can receive two bounties together."

Princess Wei had no choice but to nod, called a servant to order the reward. After a while, the staff of the royal family sent dozens of written pronunciations. Princess Wei and Yang Yong stamped the seals of Princes Wei and the prince, and ordered them to be posted immediately at the gates and lively places of the capital city, and sent one to the Jingzhao Chenggong Mansion, and asked Jingzhao Cheng to send people to copy hundreds of the same pronunciations, dispatch the yamen runners, and pasted them all over the streets and alleys of the capital city. Of course, there was no seal of the East Palace and the Wei Palace on these copied pronunciations, and they could only be stamped with their own seal. Fortunately, Su Wei no longer served as Jingzhao Cheng, otherwise Su Wei would probably have to stamp the seal for most of the day.

As soon as this announcement was posted, it caused a stir in the capital. Many people were slandered about this generous reward and the official position that was ready to be obtained. However, even the Imperial Medical Office had no choice but to treat King Wei's illness, and ordinary doctors did not have the courage to announce the list. However, those who are brave enough to exist at any time. Less than half an hour after the list was posted, the King Wei's mansion welcomed a group of people who were applying for the election.

Those who come to the election have good medical skills, but more often have luck and think about the people who are lucky. Of course, Yang Yong would not put all these people in, but would let the Imperial Hospital check first, and set the test. If they fail, they will be bombarded with a big board.

The prince and Princess Wei joined forces to summon the private doctor, which made the old men in the Imperial Hospital mutter in their hearts, deeply saddened their self-esteem. However, they couldn't come up with a solution and had no reason to stop them. However, they couldn't help but feel angry, and the questions they asked were naturally tricky and strange. Not to mention those who want to stumble on the water, even ordinary doctors could not answer a few questions. At night, even a doctor who was qualified to treat King Wei was not found.
