Chapter 876 - Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing
Just as Wang Zhaojun was hesitating, Ouyang Shuo spoke once more.
"Zhaojun, did you think about what you want to do in the future?"
"Ah?" Wang Zhaojun was stunned, and her face turned red; the script was not right. Luckily, she had been through many situations in her last life, so she quickly calmed down and respectfully said, "I was a court lady. If the king does not mind, I'm willing to be a court lady in the palace."
Wang Zhaojun had no relatives in Shanhai City. As such, apart from entering the palace, she did not know what she could do. In ancient times, a girl's beauty would often invite big trouble, especially girls that were as pretty as her.
Apart from inviting tragedy, beauties often had short lives.
With the protection of Mulan Yue in Zhen An Prefecture, she avoided a lot of problems. This was also the reason why she accepted Mulan Yue's suggestion and came over to Shanhai City.
According to Mulan Yue, only the king could protect her.
When Ouyang Shuo heard that, he shook his head. He did not dare accept her as a court lady. Even though Song Jia was magnanimous, she probably could not accept such a beauty by his side.
"Do you like playing the pipa and singing?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
Wang Zhaojun was shocked. She did not know why the king was asking about that.
When Ouyang Shuo saw her reaction, he explained, "With your looks, it's a waste of your talent. I have a good place, just that I do not know whether you are willing or not."
He continued to describe the modern day singer job to her.
This time, not only Wang Zhaojun was stunned, but even Tsing Yi raised her head. Her eyes opened wide, and she looked at Ouyang Shuo like she was looking like at a monster.
The outside world always had rumors that one of the reasons why the Great Xia Dynasty could walk till today was because of Ouyang Shuo. His thinking was special and out of the box.
But this time, it was a little too far out of the box.
"Develop Wang Zhaojun into a star? To think he actually thought of that." Tsing Yi tipped her hat to him for thinking of something like that.
Although she did not dare to believe it, Tsing Yi could not help but imagine the scene of Wang Zhaojun singing on stage. After having such a thought, she was actually looking forward to it.
"Then I'll try?"
Wang Zhaojun did not know how to reject and could only give such an answer.
Ouyang Shuo knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he smiled as he said, "Great. As for the specifics, I'll get the queen to explain them to you."
"Yes my king!"
When Wang Zhaojun saw that, she took her leave. However, she did not know that from that moment on, her fate had taken an 180 degrees turn.
A superstar was slowly rising up.
Looking at Wang Zhaojun's back view, Ouyang Shuo thought about Mulan Yue, who had recommended her. She had been a Governor for a year and a half, and she had done really well.
Along with her contribution of recommending Wang Zhaojun, Ouyang Shuo wanted to promote her to Provincial Governor of Morocco.
Morocco was alone outside, so the Provincial Governor he chose had to be someone he trusted. If one talked about trust, Mulan Yue was one of the people he trusted the most.
As for ability, they could follow the early Zhen An Prefecture and assign her some strong supporting staff. The truth proved that she was a really exceptional political talent.
In this year and a half, Zhen An Prefecture had been run really well, exceeding Ouyang Shuo's expectations.
However, Morocco was located overseas, so he needed to seek her opinion. Thinking of which, he turned around and said to Tsing Yi, "Summon Zhen An Prefecture Governor Mulan Yue, ask her to set off and come back to the imperial city." Zhen An Prefecture did not have a teleportation formation, so she could not reach Shanhai City immediately.
"Yes my king!"
A look of doubt appeared in Tsing Yi's eyes, but she still nodded. Logically speaking, it was still the 5th month, so it should not be the time for Governor debriefs. It seemed like the king had other reasons for calling her back.
As the advisor of the Secret Documents Pavilion, Tsing Yi knew her place and knew what should be asked and what should not.
...
After sending away Wang Zhaojun, the second person Ouyang Shuo met was a general. The famous Fubo General Ma Yuan. He was the descendent of Zhao She and the ancestor of the Xiliang Five Ma.
Ma Yuan was a famous military person from the end of West Han to the starting years of East Han. He was one of the contributors to the establishment of East Han.
During the ending years of West Han, the world was in chaos, and Ma Yuan was the subordinate of Kui Xiao, gaining his trust. After which he, followed Liu Xiu and helped him unify the country.
After unifying the country, Ma Yuan was already really old but sought to continue, fighting the Qiang people in the west and stopping problems in the south. As a result of his merits, he was given the title of Xingxi Lord and was nicknamed by the people as Ma Fupo.
"I am General Ma Yuan, greetings to the king!"
The Ma Yuan that entered the wilderness was close to 50. Considering Zhao She, Zhao Kuo, and the Xiliang Five horses, a total of eight people of the Ma family had joined the Great Xia Dynasty.
The reason Ma Yuan came over was firstly because of Zhao She, Ma Chao, and others, who were working for the Great Xia Dynasty; they had kept in contact. Secondly, the Great Xia Dynasty had just established the country, so they naturally attracted many.
"General please rise!"
Ouyang Shuo was really respectful toward Ma Yuan, as he could be considered a crucial person in the Ma family. Moreover, Morocco was current reorganizing the military and needed such an experienced general.
In history, although Ma Yuan could not be considered a legendary general, he was still a great one.

Before coming to meet the king, Ma Yuan had already stayed in Shanhai City for a period of time and had interacted with members of the family. As such, he knew a few things about the Great Xia Dynasty.
After learning that the king personally went on an expedition and achieved a great victory, Ma Yuan knew that his chance to step up had arrived.
As expected, after a short chat, Ouyang Shuo hinted that in the upcoming military reorganization, he would place Ma Yuan as a Legion General.
At the end, Ouyang Shuo smiled, "I just do not know if general is willing to lead troops overseas?" Morocco was located alone overseas and was at a crucial location. As such, they definitely needed to station troops there to protect the land.
Ma Yuan often fought at the borders, so he did not mind, "I am willing!"
Ouyang Shuo nodded his head, "That's great, rest up in the imperial city. ?Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, the others, and the Guards Legion Corps generals have already returned. Go have a reunion with them and wait for the official appointed from the Privy Court."
"Yes my king!"
After getting the order, Ma Yuan left. He too wanted to see Ma Chao and the rest.
...
After sending away Ma Yuan, Ouyang Shuo received the last historical person, who was also an old man. He was the famous Medical Saint, Zhang Zhongjing.
Zhang Zhongjing; he was also known as Zhang Ji. He was born in the East Han south Prefecture.
Zhang Zhongjing lived in the end of the East Han, which was a really chaotic time in Chinese history. Historical records had it that the East Han Huan Emperor had three major epidemics, while Emperor Ling had five. During Emperor Xian's time, the epidemic was worse, and tens of thousands of people died.
Zhang Zhongjing's family was originally a big one with 200 odd people.
Since the start of Jian An, in less than 10 years, 2/3rd of them died because of illness with 70% of them dying from typhoid.
Facing the epidemics, Zhang Zhongjing was really sad and angry. Hence, he decided to research typhoid fever to try to cure it.
During the Jian An period, Zhang Zhongjing went over various lands and personally witnessed the damage and effects that the various epidemics had on the people. He also used this chance to research typhoid fever and raise his experience and understanding of it.
After 10 years of hard work, he finally wrote a book known as Treatise of Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases. This was another influential medical book since the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique.
The reason why Zhang Zhongjing was willing to come over had something to do with the game of the Great Xia Dynasty. More importantly, they were pushing out basic healthcare reforms, which attracted his attention.
Zhang Zhongjing was dedicated to medicine and did not care about being an official. Since he was from an aristocratic family, he inherited the family and was appointed as the Changsha Prefecture Governor during the Jian An period.
Even so, he did not forget about medicine. During ancient times, officials could not randomly enter houses and come close to the people. However, if he did not get close to them, how could he cure them, and how could his skills improve?
Hence, he thought of a way, which was to choose the 1st and 15th of each month to open the Yamen for sick people. He sat in the main hall and diagnosed all of them.
