Sir, I can do it!

After eating plum blossom crisps and drinking a bowl of milk, Wei Yuan felt less uncomfortable.But when he turned his head and saw the densely written "Book of Rites" under him, his eyes turned black.

He said with red eyes: "Third Uncle, Yuan'er doesn't like reading."

Wei Zhaohun nodded indifferently: "From your great-grandfather to your generation, none of our old Wei family loved reading. Regardless of your father's prestige now, he was chased and beaten by your grandfather with a stick when he was a child. I still remember Once my elder brother didn't want to study, so he tore up all the books, and my father held him down and cut him..." He turned his head and looked at Wei Yuan, gritted his teeth and said, "The skin on the ass is ripped apart."

Wei Yuan clutched his buttocks and shook twice.

"That's a real fight." Wei Zhao snorted twice, "It's only your third uncle who was clever and didn't let your grandfather get close."

Wei Zhao was quite complacent when he recalled it.

Wei Yuan thought for a while and said, "But Second Uncle is very good at reading, even Uncle Lu admires Second Uncle very much."

Wei Zhao choked for a moment. Can he say that the second brother was not born to his father? No.Once the second brother's identity is exposed, his Wei family will inevitably be accused of collaborating with the enemy.

Wei Zhao said, "Your second uncle Xiao Qimother."

Looking at Wei Zhao, Wei Yuan couldn't help but nodded when he thought of his grandmother Chu's birthplace in Ningzhou, a military general whose ancestors had cleared Yishui for generations.Then he thought again, his mother was from the Qin family, a scholarly family, why doesn't he look like his mother.

After struggling for a long time, I finally came to a conclusion: "Maybe my younger siblings will be like my mother. I will learn martial arts with my father, and my younger siblings will learn literature with my mother. Our brothers and sisters will be able to learn both civil and martial arts."

Wei Zhao glanced at him sideways: ...you made the arrangements very clearly.

He patted Wei Yuan on the head: "Don't write when it's dark, it hurts your eyes."

Wei Yuan rubbed his sore eyes and yawned a little: "Mother will be angry if I can't finish copying."

"Three days is enough time, wait for your mother to calm down later, third uncle will take you into the palace to find Sister Changle to play."

Wei Yuan immediately raised a smile: "Third Uncle is so kind."

Wei Zhao came out of Xikuayuan with a medicine bag in his hand, humming a little tune, and walked towards Guiyunyuan.As he was walking, he suddenly realized something was wrong, why was he carrying this broken medicine bag all the time.

I simply turned a corner at the front and went to the old doctor Lin in Keyuan. Although it is the medicine I picked up, it can't be wasted.

Old doctor Lin looked at the scattered medicines in the medicine bag and worried: "It's just a little bit of each, and the properties of the medicines will change when mixed together, so it's useless to take it."

He picked up the medicine and sniffed it again, his complexion changed involuntarily: "Fortunately, this medicine was brought from me, if it is left in the young master's hands, something might happen."

Wei Zhao hurriedly asked, "Is it really poison?"

Old Doctor Lin shook his head: "No. This medicine is not complete, it should be a part of the whole prescription. But there are two medicines here that are taboo for pregnant women, and they must never be touched."

Wei Zhao thought of Zhang Yuan saying that the man bought all the way from the east of the city to the west of the city, and each pharmacy only bought a few herbs. Two of the selected pharmacies were large pharmacies, and the rest were mostly remote small pharmacies.

"Sigh, I don't know which woman is about to encounter an accident. Mr. Lin, can you calculate a complete prescription based on these medicines?"

Old Doctor Lin looked at it carefully, shook his head and said: "Prescriptions are ever-changing, with more or less ingredients, and even a slight difference in dosage, the efficacy of the medicines varies greatly. Besides, these ingredients are commonly used herbs, and there is nothing special about them." place."

Wei Zhao then asked: "If this medicine is used to harm people? Is there any prescription?"

"Generally, this kind of medicine is contraindicated by pregnant women. There is no need to use more. Only Sanqi is very dangerous." Old doctor Lin frowned, recalling the medical books he had read, and said with some uncertainty: "But I was lucky enough to observe it. An ancient prescription, which I saw in the records of the secrets of the former court and harem, is a prescription that harms people."

"Most of the medicinal materials used in this prescription are common. Here, if I remember correctly, these herbs are included. But the dosage ratio is very complicated. This medicine does not need to be taken internally, as long as the medicine is boiled into juice, and then used Silver needles are soaked in this medicinal juice. Pregnant women need acupuncture and moxibustion when their strength is insufficient to induce labor. If the silver needles soaked in medicinal juice are used to pierce the acupuncture points, the medicinal liquid will enter the body along with the silver needles. Pregnant women are weak during childbirth , only a small dose of the drug can cause serious consequences."

Wei Zhao stared and asked, "What will happen if you take this medicine?"

Dr. Lin stroked his beard and said: "Whoever takes this medicine, pregnant women are very likely to suffer from blood collapse during childbirth. If you are not careful, you will die twice. If you survive by luck, it will cause great damage to pregnant women and fetuses. And this medicine It is non-toxic, and the dosage is small, so it is difficult to test. Others will only think that it is the mother's own problem, but the real perpetrator can get away with it."

"Of course, I have only heard about this prescription, but I don't know whether it has been used in practice. After all, the effect of applying medicine on silver needles is not stable enough, and it is even more difficult to guarantee the timeliness. Besides, these few medicines are not enough. To explain why, maybe the medicine that the third son took back is just an ordinary prescription for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis."

Wei Zhao scratched his head, and also felt that his nerves were too tense recently, and his worries were unfounded.

"Fortunately, there is old doctor Lin sitting in the house."

Old Doctor Lin said modestly: "It is the duty of a doctor to cure the disease and save the patient."

Wei Zhao said, "Doctors are also better at killing people invisible. Good and evil can only be thought of in one thought. Old doctor Lin is highly respected. It's my Wei family's luck."

Old Doctor Lin felt very comfortable being slapped by his rainbow fart, and stroked his beard proudly.

Wei Zhao leaned over and said, "Where did Old Doctor Lin read the secrets of the harem?"

Old Doctor Lin shook his beard-stroking hand, and tore off a beard: ...he knew it!

Old Doctor Lin glared at him angrily: "I don't remember, it happened many years ago."

Wei Zhao shook his arm: "Think about it again. You see, medicine is profound and profound. Although this is a harmful prescription, the person who can think of this prescription must be extremely talented. If you get this prescription Study it carefully, maybe you can get some inspiration from it, and draw up a prescription for saving the world."

Elder Doctor Lin couldn't bear his pestering, anyway, it wasn't a big deal, so he told him: "The harem secrets are said to have flowed out from the Chu Palace when Emperor Wei of Chu fled south, and was brought out by an old eunuch. Palace. I have a friend who has some friendship with the old inner eunuch, so I borrowed the book to read, and it contains mostly secret affairs of the harem. This prescription is not very eye-catching among them."

"But my friend knew that I was obsessed with medical skills, so he asked me to see if it was some ancient prescription. He didn't pay attention to the annotations behind, but I saw it and knew the usefulness of this prescription. At that time, I was very angry. My friend learned this Fang harmed people, and he couldn't help sighing, lamenting that the harem is really a place that cannibalize people without spit out bones."

"He likes to travel around, so he separated from the old inner eunuch halfway, and returned the book by the way. I also separated from the old inner eunuch after walking for a while, and we haven't seen each other since then."

Wei Zhao asked, "Who is the old inner eunuch and where is he now? Do you still remember old doctor Lin?"

"I'm not very familiar with him, but when I listened to my friend chatting with him along the way, I knew that the old eunuch's ancestral home was Zizhou, and he was going back to his hometown to join his nephew. However, after many years, my friend has already gone to Hexi , the old eunuch is probably no longer alive."

Wei Zhao felt a little pity.The secret record of the harem, how many secrets of the previous dynasty have to be recorded.But he regretted it for a while, and went back to sleep after talking nonsense with Old Doctor Lin.

After the army passed Tongzhou, they saw barren and dilapidated fields along the way.Wei Ru stopped the team and ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot.

The father and son sat down on a field ridge, and ate a bun to satisfy their hunger.

Wei Ru glanced at the overgrown land, and sighed heavily: "In the past, spring plowing had already started at this time. Now Weinan is in chaos, the people are displaced, and there is no one to cultivate a large area of ​​land. Not to mention the impact on the harvest of the season, just I'm afraid that when the common people come back, the land will change hands."

Wei Xuan also sighed: "Even if there is no chaos in Weinan, there will not be much land for the common people to plant in the future. Not to mention the land that was annexed by the nobles, but the land that the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee get is for the common people. It is also suffering. There is no such thing as exhaustion and suffering. Think about it, it has only been more than 30 years since the founding of Daqi, Weinan has become self-reliant, and the world has become chaotic."

Wei Ru swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns, opened the bamboo tube and drank some water, and said worriedly, "Your uncle wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that the snowstorm in Xihu was severe last year, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep herders froze to death and starved to death. Xihu In order to rob food, Hu has repeatedly violated the border of Ningzhou."

Wei Xuan frowned: "Last year there were disasters everywhere. Xihu was dishonest, and Beidi is even worse. It is said that Beiyan's northern border has also been violated repeatedly..." Wei Xuan secretly glanced at his father, a little hesitant to speak. end.

Wei Ru glared at him angrily: "I want to say what I want to say, I told you to be an official for a few years, but I didn't learn the others, but I learned the stink of those sour scholars who say half and keep half."

Wei Xuan was not annoyed when his father scolded her, Hanhan smiled and sullenly.Looking around, he saw the sergeants sitting down and resting in piles.Cui Hao, the superintendent who followed, couldn't bear the long journey, his inner thighs were worn out by the horse, and he was lying in the tent and moaning.

Wei Xuan reassuredly said to his father: "Although our enemy this time is Beiyan, hundreds of years ago, we and Beiyan were both citizens of Chu State. This time the barbarians invaded the border, Ningzhou has The uncles are guarding, and Xihu will not be able to step into the Central Plains. But Beiyan is very different."

"If we fight Beiyan, Beidi will definitely take advantage of the situation. At that time, Beidi will be attacked by the enemy. Once Beidi breaks through the Beiguan, entering the northern border will be like entering a land of no one... Dad still remembers when Beidi was powerful in the state of Chu, Once led the army to attack Shuozhou in one fell swoop, but wherever the barbarian army passed, it was like locusts crossing the border, leaving no armor. All the people in the Central Plains were slaughtered, and more than ten cities to the north of Shuozhou were reduced to empty cities, and the bloody atmosphere was soaring , will last for a long time."

That happened during the time of Emperor Chuheng, and the cause was also the civil strife in the Central Plains, Beidi took advantage of the fire to loot.After Emperor Heng succeeded to the throne, he enshrined the vassals and garrisoned the border, firstly to reward his achievements, and secondly to prevent the barbarians from harming the Central Plains.Even under the circumstances of the end of Chu, the King of Northern Yan was ambitious but knew to destroy Yidi first.

The reason why Wei Ru didn't advocate war at first was naturally due to this reason.However, Li Huai was stubborn, and Lu Ding was there to mediate.The situation in the Battle of Beiyan was complicated, and Wei Xi was still hiding in Yushan, so he would be affected, so he was not at ease to hand over the battle to others.If we continue to insist on peace, we are afraid that the morale of the guards and border guards will be shortened.I had to lead the army to go out.

But how to fight this battle, he must first have a decision.According to his intention, this battle can not be fought if it is not fought.Wanyanzhe also came from the battle with Beidi back then, he is used to judging the situation, if Beidi invades aggressively, needless to say, Wanyanzhe and Daqi will put aside their previous suspicions and fight against Mandi together.

Thinking of this, Wei Ru was not as anxious as he was at first.Just thinking of the eldest daughter who is waiting to give birth in the palace, and Wuji in Huguo Temple, I feel a little uneasy.This uneasiness comes from worries about the situation in Shengjing, as well as Han Qing in Shuozhou.Wu Ji's existence, I don't know whether Han Qing knows about it or not.What is his plan.

Looking at the gray sky, Wei Ru sighed faintly.
