[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

Officials should be on duty. Only the doctors and medical officers of the Imperial Hospital are on standby at any time. When they are not in use, the doctors will come to the palace.

Yizheng was over fifty years old, and he was in good spirits. With a medicine box on his shoulders, he bowed to salute.Tang Yu was sitting in the palace, just now she was changing clothes and washing, her ups and downs were a little calmer, she waited patiently for him to finish the ceremony, and immediately asked him for the empress dowager's pulse.

The emperor is in the country, so in order to avoid bad people taking the opportunity to cause chaos, the emperor's pulse case has always been an important secret and should not be revealed easily.Although the Empress Dowager is the emperor's mother and lives in a deep palace, the confidentiality of her pulse case is naturally no better than that of the emperor. Because of the order of the palace maid, the doctor handed over the pulse case without hesitation.

In the pulse case, there were black and white words on each piece of paper. Tang Yi carefully read the first few pages, then the middle pages, and finally the new pages. He probably knew the situation in his mind.Laymen watch the fun, and experts watch the doorway. For specifics, you need to consult the doctor.The attitude of the doctor when he was presenting the pulse report was not half concealed, and after seeing the pulse report, Tang Yu's tone turned calm at this time: "It's cold in winter, and the Queen Mother's body has not been as good as before in recent years, so I am quite concerned about it."

The doctor smiled and said: "Your Majesty's pure filial piety should be a model for the people of the world. However, according to my humble opinion, His Highness's pulse is calm and gentle, and it is common sense for the pulse to be slightly heavy in winter. Your Majesty can rest assured."

The patient's family members are always worried about the patient in various ways. Hearing the doctor's words, Tang Yu's tense expression eased a little, but he asked several questions and doctors one after another, such as the queen mother's cold hands and feet. For example, the queen mother's winter sleep is shallow, how to cultivate the body and mind, and so on.When the emperor asked a question, his ministers dared not refuse to answer it, so the doctor said it in detail.

The drum was about to sound, Tang Yu got up, and walked to the Jinshen Hall with the doctor while listening carefully, saying that he entrusted his whole body and mind to the Queen Mother.It wasn't until he reached the Jinshen Hall that Tang Yu was willing to let go of the thirsty doctor, and told him: "If you need the medicinal materials in the treasury, just take them and use them. I only want you to take good care of the Queen Mother's body."

Yizhenglian claimed it was true, and stood where he was and respectfully sent Tang Yu into the Jinshen Hall.She was no longer visible as far as the eye could see, the doctor turned around and walked towards the imperial hospital, passing by an old tree, the treetops were covered with crystal clear rime, the cold wind blew past, the doctor lifted up his sleeves, He wiped the sweat that came out of his forehead belatedly.

He breathed a long sigh of relief.

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and officials from all over Kyushu presented their New Year's greetings one after another, but there was nothing else to do.The morning court soon ended, and when the civil and military officials retired, Tang Yu sat on the seat. She was awakened by a dream in the morning, and she looked a little tired. She wanted to rest here for a while.

The Jinshen Hall is more spacious than the Xuanshi Hall, and when people go to the empty house, it seems that there is a wider area under the imperial steps to provide courtiers.Tang Yi leaned on her chin with one hand and fell into a shallow sleep. After a while, she suddenly raised her eyelids, and saw Xiao Shen standing in the hall like a green pine, and when she woke up, she just smiled kindly.

Thinking of what the Empress Dowager said yesterday, Tang Yu hurriedly stood up, walked down the imperial steps, and first apologized to Xiao Shen.Xiao Shen hastily bent over and said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to do this, the minister stayed here privately, how dare he offend you?"

Just as the Empress Dowager guessed, Xiao Shen did have a candidate for Minister of the Ministry of Officials in his heart, and he wanted to introduce him to Tang Yu: "He was a Jinshi in the reign of the first emperor, and he was retired from the official position to the left servant of the Ministry of Officials. .I work together with the court, and cherish his talents and virtues. When he was ordered to return to his hometown, the minister also folded willows to see him off."

Xiao Shen is calm and smart, he has served as prime minister for two dynasties, how can there be no connections or friends in the court?Simply open the skylight and tell the truth, this person is named Yan Yi, and he has had friendship with him, but the friendship is only limited to colleagues and appreciation.

Being in a high position, it can be said that his vision is not low, Xiao Shen's eyes are favored, and he still remembers it in his heart until today. In addition, the Empress Dowager once ordered him to write down Yan Yi, but he had a question: "Why didn't Prime Minister Xiao mention this just now?" thing?"

Xiao Shen replied with a smile: "There are veterans from the two dynasties in the court, and they all know that the minister and Yan Yi are friends. If the minister publicly recommends it, everyone will know that the minister has a personal favor with Yan Yi in the future. In fact, all the emperors are promoted because of His Majesty's insightful eyes. Grace is vast and has nothing to do with oneself or others."

Such a good minister, Tang Yu felt warm in his heart, nodded solemnly and said: "I will follow your words." She personally sent Xiao Shen out of the palace, and then first transferred Yan Yi's official resume from the Ministry of Officials to check, Then he ordered Zhongshu Sheren to draft an imperial edict, intending to rehabilitate Yan Yi and become an official for the second time.

Before the edict was promulgated, she wanted to speak to the Queen Mother first, this was her almost instinctive thought, and she would report everything to the Queen Mother before she acted.Then, she remembered what the Empress Dowager said yesterday, "If Prime Minister Xiao recommends you, you can follow his advice", so she didn't hesitate anymore, and directly issued the imperial edict.

In Weiyang Palace, the doctor was reporting to the Queen Mother that he was suddenly summoned by the emperor this morning. At the end, he hesitated and added: "Your Highness, if things go on like this, it may be difficult to hide it from Your Majesty." If the Queen Mother hadn't protected him , the emperor obeyed the queen mother again, how dare he deceive the emperor?

The Empress Dowager took a sip of the teacup and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "You only need to follow the instructions, and you don't need to worry about others."

Yizheng had no choice but to promise and leave respectfully.

There was a bowl full of soup and medicine on the table, the yellowish brown soup, the strong smell of medicine entered the nostrils, and there was an overwhelming nausea in the stomach.She suppressed the discomfort, took the medicine cup with both hands, and drank a few sips of the soup. Her mouth was immediately filled with a bitter taste. She frowned slightly, closed her eyes, and raised her head to swallow the remaining soup. Pour it all into the stomach.

Liandong has served her since she was a child, but has she ever seen her stick to her body like this?Her eyes had already been filled with tears. Seeing that the Queen Mother had finished drinking the medicine, she hurriedly turned around to suppress the soreness, and then presented the candied fruit plate in front of her, forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, the soup is bitter, you can eat a few pieces of candied fruit to press it down." Suppress the bitterness."

The Queen Mother ate a piece of candied fruit, which was pickled dried fruit, sour and sweet, and the bitterness was suppressed when she kept it in her mouth.Hearing the vibrato in Lonicera's words, she raised her eyes to see the tear stains clearly visible in the corners of her eyes, the Queen Mother smiled lightly and said: "It's not dark yet, I can see clearly. Why is this so, wipe away the tears."

Her indifferent attitude caused Lonicera to burst into tears, it was really disrespectful, she had no choice but to sprint to the outside of the hall, and was frozen awake in the cold wind.

Liandong wiped away her tears briefly, calmed down, worried that the palace servants next to her could not take good care of the Queen Mother, so she hurriedly turned back.After getting along with her for many years, she can be said to know the queen mother well, but she still doesn't understand why she has to hide her illness so carefully.While serving the Empress Dowager, taking advantage of no one, she expressed her doubts.

The Empress Dowager was half lying on the couch, leaning against the pillow, holding the sachet given to her by Tang Yu many years ago, rubbing it gently over and over again.She sighed: "Look at her, she still comes here every now and then. If she knows... how can she have any other thoughts on state affairs. At that time, she will probably sleep and eat with me , How can the king of a country do this? Therefore, if you can hide it for a day, it is a day." The rest, there are other reasons from a long-term perspective.

Lian Dong tucked in the quilt, and persuaded in a low voice: "If Your Majesty knows and orders famous doctors, maybe..." Before he finished speaking, he lost his confidence.Although it is said that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon among the people, the doctors in the Imperial Hospital are by no means useless waste. Yan Shu and Song Ji are also proficient in the art of Qihuang, and they are helpless.

No matter how close they are, there is a distinction between master and servant like clouds and mud, and knowing that the Empress Dowager is forbearing and persistent, Liandong has no choice but to remain silent.

In the hall of Xuanshi, Tang Yu summoned Bo Yu, the commander of Luan Yiwei, after he got up from the bed at noon.

Bo Yu formed a contract with Yu Sheng, so he and Tang Yu were considered relatives, so naturally he was not restricted by etiquette in private.She stepped into the hall, and did not salute as usual. There was a wooden box with fine carvings on the imperial case. She looked over and quickly recognized that it was presented to Tang Dynasty when she returned to the court after destroying the Xirong troops. A fire/gun case.

During the reign of Emperor Xiandi, Bo Yu once recommended this object to Mu Zong, but he was dismissed as a Western skill and obscenity.At this moment, Tang Yu suddenly summoned her, and put the dusty fire/gun in front of him, what was his intention?

Bo Yu has a straightforward personality, whatever he thinks in his heart, the expression on his face.Tang Yu smiled and waved to her: "Cousin Ayu, come and sit down, let's talk about it in detail." Bo Yu and Yu Sheng are husband and wife. "Uncle", so she called Bo Yu Ayu's cousin.

According to Bo Yu's words, she was seated on the couch on the lower right side of Tang Yu, and she would not be too close because of the relationship between the two of them.Although she is a general galloping on the battlefield and counting soldiers, she actually wears a light coat, has a calm demeanor and an elegant demeanor.

Tang Xi opened the fire/gun case, and the fire/gun contained in it was spotless and discernible. Apparently, the owner often took it out for enjoyment and cared for it very much.In her heart, Bo Yu and Yu Sheng are the most trustworthy people besides the queen mother, so she didn't twist and turn to the courtiers like usual, and said directly: "Before you were transferred to Luan Yiwei, you were in charge of Haizhou Wei, then Japanese plagues are rampant. During the eradication of Japanese, our army’s generals and soldiers fell behind in terms of armaments, so they often fell into a passive situation. Even if the Japanese country was defeated afterwards, it would only kill [-] enemies and lose [-].”

Wars, large and small, are recorded by the Ministry of War, and it is reasonable for Tang Yu to know this.Bo Yu nodded and said, "That's right."

The fire/gun case was pushed to Bo Yu's eyes, only to hear Tang Yan ask with a smile: "Although the Japanese kingdom is at odds with our dynasty, it has always had close contacts with Haizhou, so as far as I know, there are people in Haizhou who are familiar with making fire/guns. You have several years of experience in Haizhou, maybe you can find such talents?" Looking at the development trend of history, cold weapons will be replaced by hot weapons sooner or later, and being beaten if you lag behind is feasible in modern times reason.

Bo Yu was stunned, and then replied slowly after a while: "Your Majesty, that person is familiar with me, but this fire/gun is something that all ministers of civil and military despise. If it is to be mass-produced, it will need to embezzle money from the treasury. I'm afraid... "

Tang Xi took out a red seal from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to her with a smile: "It's a secret from them. You let him make a batch first, and the money will be taken from my private treasury."

The author has something to say: I want to go out, I will replace it in advance today~(≧▽≦)/~It seems like a holiday today?Do you want a second watch?

PS, most emperors have their own small treasury, which is called Neiku, and the homonym is easy to misunderstand, especially this sentence-money is taken from my Neiku (rereading) (what the hell? Black question mark?) So here It's still called a private library (*^ω^*)
