One of the passers-by

That night, Xue Yan and Wei Ziqi returned to Chang'an.Wei Ziqi personally sent Xue Yan back to Duke Wei's mansion before returning home.

At that time, Princess Pingyang was discussing with Xue Ji the matter of court.Xue Hong was crawled around on the mat in front of them by the couple.

Seeing Xue Yan's return, Princess Pingyang hurriedly asked Xue Yan if she had eaten dinner, and Xue Yan said with a smile that she had.Princess Pingyang asked where to eat and what to eat, and then ordered her servants to prepare supper.

Xue Yan simply sat down cross-legged. Seeing this, Xue Hong climbed up in front of Xue Yan one by one, and then climbed into Xue Yan's leg socket and sat down.Xue Yan hugged Xue Hong in his arms, and only heard Xue Ji talk about Yan Junji's frivolous behavior at the celebration banquet last night, which displeased the royal officials in the court very much. The courtier impeached Yan Junji.

Xue Yan also felt that after these few battles, Yan Junji acted more freely than before.Thinking of Yan Junji's fate in history, he frowned.Suddenly asked: "How is Empress Wei's health recently?"

Princess Pingyang and Xue Ji were taken aback when they heard the words.Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "You see Tian'er entering the palace to greet you, don't you know if Empress Wei is in good health?"

Xue Yan's frequent visits to the palace were for political affairs.He never paid attention to Empress Wei's body deliberately.But thinking about the historical records, Xue Yan decided to ask the imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Office after entering the palace tomorrow.

It's just that there is no evidence now, so it's hard to say anything.

So Xue Yan only exchanged pleasantries with his parents once, and then went to rest without mentioning it.

In the early morning of the next day, after Xue Yan entered the palace, he really asked the imperial doctor of the Imperial Medical Office about Empress Wei's pulse.The medical administration of the imperial medical office didn't know why Xue Yan asked so politely, but Xue Yan was the son of Princess Pingyang, who was deeply loved by the emperor and his majesty's queen, so the medical administration of the imperial medical office did not dare to treat him perfunctorily.Hearing Xue Yan's questions, he hurriedly opened his mouth to answer one by one.It's just that I made a special report to Queen Wei afterwards.

Empress Wei also felt very strange when she heard the words.It is necessary to call Xue Yan to him and ask him carefully.

Xue Yan always didn't like to say clearly, "It is recorded in history that you will die this year", so he could only smile in front of Empress Wei and said, "Yesterday I went to Lishan with Brother Ziqi to play, and I heard that Brother Ziqi mentioned that Duke Zhen has recently died. I'm not feeling well, and I'm really tired. Immediately, I thought of the Empress Empress. Please forgive me for the abruptness."

This explanation is too far-fetched.Empress Wei naturally didn't believe it.But she believed that Xue Yan would not do anything to hurt him.Since Xue Yan didn't want to talk about it, Empress Wei didn't ask any more questions.He just smiled at Xue Yan's words: "I don't know if it's because of getting older in the past year. I also have some energy. Occasionally, I have headaches and dizziness, but it's good to lie down a little. It's not necessary to eat Medicine."

Xue Yan was shocked when he heard this.He hurriedly said with a smile: "It just so happens that this year both Reverend Misty and Reverend Sun are staying in the capital. If Empress Wei feels unwell, why not invite the two Reverends into the palace to check the Queen's pulse?"

Xue Yan had done this once before, and Empress Wei was not surprised.It's just that she used to be physically strong, but she seldom got sick.Now I have occasional dizziness, but I don't feel anything.So Empress Wei just smiled and declined.He just said that he didn't want to bother Reverend Misty and Reverend Sun.

Unexpectedly, Xue Yan just said it casually, but now he persisted.Letting two real people enter the palace to check the pulse of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor and the Empress is considered regular maintenance of the body.In the end, the tongue was brilliant, and Queen Wei was finally persuaded.

After Emperor Yong'an came down to court, Empress Wei had to discuss with Emperor Yong'an, and Emperor Yong'an also felt that such a proposal was very good.readily agreed.

The next day, Xue Yan personally went to Shangqing Temple and invited two real people to diagnose the pulse of the nobles in the palace.The two real people have been diagnosed one by one, but they have not diagnosed any disease, but they have prescribed some maintenance prescriptions to ask everyone to take care of themselves.

Seeing this, Xue Yan gradually felt relieved.Then I put my mind on the operation and construction of Bianzhou——

As mentioned above, Xue Yan felt the convenience of Bianzhou's waterways, and once wanted to build a shipyard in Bianzhou, Haifang, and wanted to develop shipping.It's just that the court couldn't agree on what to do, and Emperor Yong'an let Xue Yan toss about it.

Relying on various materials from later generations, Xue Yan really drew several drawings of ships that were easy to build, and ordered Bianzhou officials to search for craftsmen who were good at shipbuilding all over the country, and even spread the news to the neighboring countries of Da Chu, with generous The "welfare treatment" attracted skilled craftsmen from all over the world to Bianzhou.

Also, Wei Ziqi has the memory of later generations, so he can cooperate with Xue Yan's actions. He doesn't know where to find someone who is qualified for this job. With all kinds of convenience, the matter progresses more smoothly.

Until the end of the fifth year of Yong'an, Bianzhou Shipyard actually built the first sea-going ship, which was regarded as a New Year's gift for Emperor Yong'an.

This ship was named Yong'an by Emperor Yong'an himself.And the first voyage of this sea-going ship was to Xing Da Chu Zhiwei, carrying a ship of goods in the name of Bianzhou to the neighboring countries for exchange of needs.Of course, following the Yong'an is naturally an accompanying merchant ship built by merchants in Bianzhou and Dachu—although it is not a serious sea-going ship, it is no problem to use it for relatively short-range sea transportation.It is not surprising that various merchants in Dachu have been using this method to "exchange what they have" with neighboring countries.

It's just that the current Da Chu officials and people naturally can't think of it. This is because this small change has promoted the further development of maritime trade after the Da Chu Dynasty became invincible on land.It became a climax when Da Chu was different from other dynasties and attached great importance to maritime trade.As for the various butterfly effects surrounding maritime trade, there is no need to say much at this moment.

Now let's say that in the first month of the sixth year of Yong'an, Empress Wei was receiving orders from concubines in the Lizheng Hall to deal with New Year matters.While talking about how to organize the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Empress Wei suddenly felt dizzy, and then her vision went dark, and she fell to the ground unconscious.

Seeing the imperial order, the concubines here couldn't help scaring away most of the ghosts, and hurriedly called the imperial doctor to come over to check the pulse of Queen Wei.Unexpectedly, a dozen or so imperial doctors checked the pulse four or five times for Empress Wei, but they still couldn't tell the reason.To make matters worse, Empress Wei, who was in a coma, started to have a fever.

When the news spread to the previous dynasty, Emperor Yong'an was furious, and rushed to the Lizheng Hall in a hurry, disposing of several imperial physicians from the imperial medical office one after another. Zheng Sun Zhongmiao was also accompanying his elder brother in the Shangqing Temple, and immediately ordered the young eunuch to pass the decree to the Shangqing Temple, inviting two real people to enter the palace to treat Empress Wei.

The little eunuch heard the words of the sage, and hurriedly rode out of the palace to pass the decree to the Shangqing Temple.Who knew that the two brothers, Reverend Misty and Sun Zhonghe and Sun Zhongmiao, had left Shangqing Temple two months ago and went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to find friends.

Now everyone was in a hurry, and hurriedly sent people eight hundred miles to Luoyang to pass the decree, and brought the two real people back to Luoyang along with the former medical administrator of the Imperial Medical Office.

Thanks to Xue Yan's invention of "cement" over the years, the official road from Luoyang to Chang'an is now extremely smooth.If it is a large army traveling fast, it will arrive in only one day.

Therefore, the chariots and horses sent by Emperor Yong'an to Luoyang to pick up the two real people and the former medical administration of the Imperial Medical Office also returned to Taiji Palace the next night.

The situation was urgent, and Emperor Yong'an couldn't even wait for the two real people to wash up, so he led them to the Lizheng Hall in such a busy manner.At that time, Empress Wei had been in a coma for three days and three nights. With the best efforts of the imperial doctors, the high fever subsided, but she was still in a coma more than she was awake.

The crown prince, the king of Yue, the nine princes, and several princesses born by empress Wei all knelt in front of empress Wei's couch to serve her sick.Emperor Yong'an paced back and forth restlessly in the inner room.Princess Pingyang and Xue Ji, Duke Zhen Wei Wuji and his wife, and their sons Wei Ziqi and Wei Jin also guarded the outer hall.The Taishang Emperor is old, so that he has never been there in person, but he keeps sending the little eunuchs to run between the Xingqing Palace and the Taiji Palace, constantly passing on news.

The princes and princesses born to other concubines also knelt in the outer hall of the Lizheng Hall to serve the sick.The brothers Miu Miao and Sun Zhenren hurried to the Lizheng Hall, and they saw this room full of people.

Due to the large number of people, the smell of powder and spices in the room was a bit strong. Immortal Daoist frowned, first went to the inner hall to pay respects to Emperor Yong'an, and before Emperor Yong'an could speak, he first asked Emperor Yong'an to let most of the people go back, and then opened the window ventilation.

Emperor Yong'an heard that he was afraid that Queen Wei would catch a cold after opening the window for ventilation.Seeing this, Reverend Misty had no choice but to patiently explain to Emperor Yong'an the reason for opening the window.Emperor Yong'an was skeptical and had no choice but to agree.

For a moment, the three real people went up to take the pulse of Queen Wei, and then exchanged pulse and treatment opinions with each other, and prescribed a prescription after deliberation, and Emperor Yong'an immediately ordered people to make medicine according to the prescription.

For a while, a palace servant sent the boiled soup inside, and Emperor Yong'an took the soup himself and sat in front of Queen Wei's bed, carefully feeding the medicine for Queen Wei.

Seeing this, Master Piaomiao said: "The Empress can take the medicine at this time, as long as she wakes up after this night, she will be fine."

King Yue was impatient by nature, upon hearing this, he rushed to ask, "What if you can't wake up at night?"

Seeing this, Misty Daoist didn't reply.The two brothers Sun Zhonghe and Sun Zhongmiao just sighed.

When King Yue saw this, his face turned pale with fright.Immediately startled and angry, he pointed at the three real people and scolded quack doctors, and said that they would be punished for the crime of talking nonsense.

Emperor Yong'an also couldn't bear it and shook his body, and was supported by the prince with sharp eyesight and quick hands.Emperor Yong'an reprimanded King Yue, bowed to Reverend Misty, and said in his mouth: "I also hope that Reverend Master will rejuvenate and save Wuyou's life."

In his desperation, Emperor Yong'an didn't even call the queen, and just blurted out the queen's boudoir name.

Seeing this, Master Misty and the others also sighed.

The three members of the Xue family and the four members of the Wei family also gathered around, and Xue Yan had no choice but to persuade the Prince of Yue.Princess Pingyang also persuaded Emperor Yong'an, because she said with a smile: "Reverend Misty and the two Mr. Sun have excellent medical skills, and they will definitely be able to save the queen. Don't worry, Your Majesty."

When Emperor Yong'an heard the words, he was willing to believe them.After so many years of ups and downs, he and Empress Wei are no longer a simple couple.He also couldn't imagine what to do after losing the queen.

It was night, even Emperor Yong'an stayed in the Lizheng Hall and never left.Even the Emperor Taishang couldn't sit still after hearing the words of Daoist Miu Miao. From the Xingqing Palace to the Lizheng Hall, he saw the red-eyed Emperor Yong'an at first sight, and his heart couldn't stop feeling distressed. .Immediately stepped forward to comfort him.

At the beginning of the fourth watch, Queen Wei finally had some reaction.Lie on the bed and call for water.Because Empress Wei's voice was too low, the prince and the others hardly heard it.Emperor Yong'an, who was still guarding the side of the bed, had sharp eyes and ears, and heard Empress Wei's voice first, leaned forward to inquire carefully, and ordered the palace servant to offer tea.

After helping Empress Wei to eat half a cup of tea, Empress Wei became sober and even knew that she was hungry. Emperor Yong'an was busy with celebrities bringing over the food that was already hot on the stove, and personally served Empress Wei for supper.Empress Wei finally regained some energy. Although she was still weak in speaking and didn't have the strength to stand up, she was at least awake.

In the words of Daoist Misty, that means his life is in danger.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.Emperor Yong'an was even more delighted, and immediately rewarded Daoist Misty and the Sun family brothers.

In the next few days, the three real people still diagnosed Wei Queen's pulse and prescribed prescriptions every day. After Wei Queen took the medicine for several days, she gradually recovered safely.It is necessary to thank Miu Miao and others in person.

Reverend Misty stroked his beard and said: "Poverty is really not worthy of the queen's thanks. If Xue Shizi hadn't had nothing to do, when he went to Shangqing Temple to chat with us, he would send us a lot of medical books and pharmacology for us to study. I'm afraid I can't do it today. Tell the queen to return safely."

After hearing this, Empress Wei told Emperor Yong'an about it, and both the emperor and empress couldn't help but lament Xue Yanzhi's erudition and prudence.

After this incident, Xue Yan once again deeply realized what the information stored in his bronze bracelet meant to this era.

So he made a decision.He proposed to Emperor Yong'an that he wanted to build a bookstore in Chang'an City, and asked the emperor to order to invite wise men from all over the world to enter Chang'an, collect all the books from all over the world, and build a "Da Chu Quanshu".

The emperors of all dynasties ascended to the throne for nothing more than the four words of Wencheng Wude.Now Emperor Yong'an ruled the world, and the prestige of Da Chu spread far and wide, so naturally he reached the extreme in martial arts.Therefore, after the beginning of the sixth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an also gradually shifted the attention of the government to the culture and governance.Hearing Xue Yan's remonstrance at this time, he was naturally very interested.

Emperor Yong'an readily agreed.And appointed Xue Yan as Minister of Rites, responsible for handling this matter.He also ordered Kong Lingyi, a great Confucian in the court, to be in charge of repairing books and chopsticks.For any literati, compiling a book for the imperial court is the most famous thing in the world.Kong Lingyi naturally smiled happily.

However, when the old Confucian learned that his partner turned out to be Xue Yan, who caused the world to turmoil because of a debate newspaper in the past, he shook his head and smiled wryly.

He may not have a good impression of reporter Xue Yan in the minds of some literati.I'm afraid that if Xue Yan is in charge of this matter, there will be side effects.

Of course, Emperor Yong'an also knew that Kong Lingyi's consideration was very necessary.However, Emperor Yong'an also believed that although Xue Yan offended some Confucian scholars and literati because of the "Guozijian Debate News", he must also gain the favor of other people.It's not worth anything if the two are equal.

Therefore, Emperor Yong'an did not take Kong Lingyi's concerns seriously.Still insisted on his appointment.

The reason why Xue Yan mentioned this matter to Emperor Yong'an was to have a legitimate way to copy the information in the bronze bracelet bit by bit.As for ordering scholars all over the world to compile a book to make the emperor famous... the reference is nothing more than the practice of a certain emperor in a dynasty in later generations.It just so happened that this move touched Emperor Yong'an's itching again.

Therefore, no matter whether Emperor Yong'an agrees to his appointment or not, it will not delay the "business" in Xue Yan's mind.

So after hearing Kong Lingyi's worries, Xue Yan went to Emperor Yong'an in person and asked Emperor Yong'an to dismiss him from the post of Minister of Rites and choose another talented person to take charge of the matter.

However, Emperor Yong'an did not allow it, and only ordered Xue Yan, "Don't think too much, just do what you are supposed to do."

Seeing this, Xue Yan no longer insisted.

But regardless of that era, it is not an easy task to seriously edit a book.Because of Xue Yan's strange encounters before, when he silently revealed the information in the bronze bracelet, how to explain the source of these books became a difficult problem for Xue Yan.

In order to better solve this problem, Xue Yan even hired some students in the Imperial College who were willing to endure hardships and have no prejudices. Works, continue to write "reference books" with practical value.

But even so, there are still many books whose "provenance" is doubtful.

Fortunately, Emperor Yong'an and Da Chu's courtiers knew that Xue Yan's origin was somewhat inexplicable, but since Xue Yan appeared in Da Chu, every move was for Da Chu and he had no second thoughts, so everyone did not pursue Xue Yan's origin too much .Therefore, when they saw Xue Yanmo's books, they also had a tacit understanding and stopped asking.

On the other hand, Xue Yan not only silently writes the useful materials of the later generations that he knows every day, but also helps sort out the "military writings" of the generals.

As for Confucianism, Legalism, and other articles and books, Kong Lingyi and others are responsible for sorting them out.

In short, Xue Yan is only responsible for the "exotic tricks" and military-related parts of the "Da Chu Quanshu" compiled this time.The latter is also determined by his identity.After all, Xue Yan is the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, and he took the lead in asking the generals to write books, which also triggered a "book-writing craze" among Da Chu officials... It is really appropriate that Xue Yan is now in charge of this part of the military strategist extreme.

On the other hand, those literati and Confucians did not have as strong an attitude towards Xue Yan as Minister of Rites in charge of this matter as Kong Lingyi and other old Confucians imagined.

Although most of the time people still can't get used to the "gentle and corrupt" Xue Yan, but it is undeniable that Xue Yan's engraving and debating newspapers have favorably promoted the pragmatic style of literati writing books, discussing and debating.Therefore, in the hearts of most literati, even Xue Yan has all kinds of inadequacies.But the shortcomings do not hide the advantages, and some places are still certain.

Xue Yan himself did not expect these comments.But what Xue Yan didn't expect was another thing.
