I heard my brother is a tyrant

Since Xu Yuanzhi was an imperial physician who was ordered to go to Beijing, he used the official ship provided by Luzhou Prefecture.The ship that Chang Shun brought was about the same size as the official ship, but the cabins on the ship were more spacious. The front hall, inner room, bedroom, and kitchen were all well-equipped, and it was actually set up as a living room.The lower deck is divided into small rooms for the accompanying maids, servants and boatmen to live in.

Once on board, Ye Hui took the belongings of the three cousins ​​into the upper bedroom without saying a word.Ye Chu felt that something was wrong, so he grabbed Ye Hui and said, "Second Sister, it's not right for us to live here, we live here, where does uncle and aunt live?"

Ye Hui smiled and said: "Didn't you see that mother took over the kitchen happily as soon as she got on the boat? No matter which room you let her live in, she stays in the kitchen all day long. Dad will follow her anyway. They choose by themselves." In the cubicle next to the kitchen, they just go to sleep at night anyway."

Ye Chu still thinks it's inappropriate, they live in the spacious and comfortable main room, and the elders live in the compartment, isn't that good?

At this time Ye Ling came in and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, it's my parents who want us to live here. I'm afraid that the three of us girls won't be used to taking the boat, so the three of us can live here."

The two big ships set sail one after the other.

They moved on February [-]th, and the spring scenery was just right along the way, and the scenery was endless. Ye Chu found some fun in the boat.The boat was running slowly and steadily, and she sat by the window when she had nothing to do, watching the green mountains and green waters on both sides slowly move back, or watching the white sails coming from the opposite side, going downstream at a speed several times faster than theirs, until It's really enviable.

There was nothing else to do on board, and it was kind of boring, and the other thing to talk about was eating.

Ye Chu's appetite was poor in the first few days on the boat, she was so greasy that she couldn't eat, and when she didn't eat, everyone on the boat followed suit, so they served a dish of braised bamboo shoots for lunch.

It's the season to eat spring bamboo shoots. The spring bamboo shoots are simply stewed with oil and salt seasoning. The tender white bamboo shoots are covered with oily red and bright sauce. They are crispy and tender, and they are delicious enough. Ye Chu unexpectedly I ate half a plate.

Mrs. He has one thing, if you eat a few more mouthfuls of something, she will definitely cook it for the next meal, until you have eaten enough.Xu Yuanzhi said that bamboo shoots invigorate the spleen and increase appetite, and it happened that Ye Chu was willing to eat them again, so He made them for her in different ways, such as vegetarian bamboo shoots, southern meat bamboo shoots, sliced ​​bamboo shoots with shrimps, shiitake mushrooms, etc. It is another kind of delicacy when things are fried or stewed in soup.

Of course, eating fish is also indispensable.In addition to the fish that are usually found in the river, there are some fish that can only be eaten if you catch them. First catch up to eat saury, and then I heard that it is the turn to eat puffer fish. Ye Fu went to eat on Xu Yuanzhi's boat.

But Xu Yuanzhi ate it himself, but told her that people with weak constitution should not eat it.It is said that puffer fish is the most delicious in the world, Ye Chu dared to taste it, but who would dare to give it to her, so Ye Chu could only regret it.

The boat turned from the middle of the river to the middle of the river, and the scenery and products on both sides of the river gradually changed. This journey was really smooth and smooth for Ye Chu, and it was a bit boring.

Probably there was something restless, someone had already quietly dealt with it, and it couldn't reach her eyes.

On April [-]th, Chang Shun came to report that he would be able to arrive in Weizhou tomorrow, and then he would change to a carriage and walk two days overland to reach the capital.

In other words, it will be here in three days, Ye Chu said: "Can you send someone to tell brother first, I'm afraid he will be worried."

"Please don't worry, girl, I have reported it to the adults, and the adults will call someone to pick us up at the pier."

Chang Shunxin said, this person really doesn't know, the person in Beijing has not kept track of their itinerary all the time, and has to ask about every detail, this kind of luck is probably no one else in the world.

At that moment, Chang Shun couldn't help but become more respectful: "There is one more thing to tell the girl. The boatmen said that depending on the weather, there might be a strong wind at night. To be on the safe side, shall we stop at the ferry ahead?"

Ye Chu said: "Then stop overnight."

"Yes." Chang Shun asked again with a smile, "Does the lady have any other orders? I heard that the lady doesn't have much for lunch. When I get to the ferry later, the ship will send people down to buy supplies. What else does the lady want?" Food? Small ones so people can buy them."

Ye Chu didn't have anything in particular he wanted to eat, so he said, "If you need to buy anything, you can ask my aunt."

When Chang Shun bowed to leave, Ye Chu leaned over and complained to Ye Hui in a low voice: "Why does he come to ask me about everything!"

Ye Hui suppressed a smile, and leaned over and whispered: "You are the master now, a daughter of a thousand gold, and he is a servant. Of course, he can't make decisions on his own, and he has to listen to you."

Ye Chuxin said okay, but he can only let him come to "report to the girl" all day long. Anyway, when he arrives in the capital, his brother will take care of everything, so she doesn't need to bother her.

This time, when we parked to shelter from the wind, when we arrived at the Weizhou Wharf, it was already afternoon application time.Sure enough, my brother sent servants to pick them up, and got off the boat to change to a carriage, but they didn't go far, and the carriage went straight into the Yizhou Posthouse.

After more than two months, Ye Chu's feet finally set foot on the ground again, and was escorted by Ye Ling, Ye Hui, and a bunch of maids into a small and clean courtyard.She was also a little tired, and the maids had already prepared hot water without waiting for orders. After taking a bath, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.The next morning, I had dinner and continued on my way.

However, Ye Chu couldn't do it after an hour. He parked the car and vomited on the side of the car!

Not seasick, actually motion sickness.

Most of the motion sickness is due to bumps. Obviously the carriage is quite spacious and comfortable, and it is also covered with thick blankets and soft cushions, but compared with the boat, it is too bumpy.A group of people rushed to take care of her, brought water to wash her face and mouth, Ye Chu leaned on Ye Hui's body limply, and said with a bitter face that she was going to go down for a walk.

I can't wait to walk to the capital with just two feet.

So on the official road, a group of chariots and horses stopped, the guards stood in two rows along the side of the road facing outwards and their backs inward, the weak girl supported the maid with one hand, and covered her heart with the other, with a bitter face, Walk slowly along the side of the road.

After getting out of the car and resting for a while, Ye Chu seemed to feel better, the medicine that Xu Yuanzhi prepared for seasickness finally came in handy, Ye Chu got a cold pill in his mouth, climbed into the car and continued on his way.

After walking for a while, wow, I even vomited the pills.

The group of people had no choice but to slow down as much as possible, stop and go, snail's speed, and even a half of the planned distance was not covered in a day.The originally planned post house could not be reached, and finally arrived at the nearest post house before sunset, Ye Chu had no appetite at all, with a sallow face, prepared water, washed, climbed into bed and fell into a drowsy sleep.

The name of this post house is quite unique, it is called Liuhua post house, it is much smaller than the Yizhou post house, and it stands alone on the side of the official road.They had just moved in, not long after, someone knocked on the door of Xu Yuanzhi's room.

Xu Yuanzhi opened the door, and there was a strong young man standing outside the door. Seeing him coming out, he cupped his hands and asked, "Excuse me, is the doctor Xu from Luzhou living here?"

"Who are you?"

The other party hurriedly replied: "Han Ziyun in Suizhou, my father is Xuanpinghou, and he was called to Beijing. It is helpless to come to disturb him. My father fell ill on the way and has been here for several days. I have hired a doctor but I have not seen him well." Just now, I happened to hear from Yicheng that there was a doctor Xu who was staying here, so I hurried to find him."

"I beg Imperial Physician Xu to save my father no matter what!" Han Ziyun said with a deep salute.

It's not that Xu Yuanzhi didn't want to save people, but he knew very well that he had a mission on this trip and he couldn't make up his own mind. There was a precious little master over there, so if there was any fraud in this matter, or any side incidents, he would Where can afford it.

He is an imperial physician, used by the royal family, according to the rules, even if the other party is a lord, the emperor must give permission to use the imperial physician, so Xu Yuanzhi is not afraid that the other party's status will oppress him.But isn't this something special? This person doesn't go to the village and doesn't go to the store. As a doctor, since he is present, if he really doesn't do anything, it is impossible to let an old Hou Ye be so sick.

Xu Yuanzhi asked about the symptoms, thought for a while, then deliberately raised his voice and said: "Mr. Han, please go back first. I don't even have a single herb around me in a hurry. Allow me to prepare."

As soon as Han Ziyun left, Chang Shun and Ye Fu came over when they heard the movement. The three of them weighed it up, and it didn't look like a fake. Besides, so what if the other party tricked Dr. Xu away, so they sent two smart guards to follow Xu Yuanzhi , Xu Yuanzhi also made some preparations, took the consultation box and went forward.

It was dusk, and the lights in the front room had already been lit, and the candlelight danced, illuminating the pale old man on top of the collapse. Han Ziyun was guarding the front of the collapse, with a look of anxiety and forbearance at the moment.

"Why hasn't this doctor Xu come here yet!" He walked back and forth a few steps, and said irritably, "Father, wait, I'll go again, I still don't believe it."

"Be safe and don't be impatient." Xuan Ping Hou yelled weakly in a low voice, "I'm taking a breath now, don't worry. Our Xuan Ping Hou Mansion is in a difficult situation right now. You know it’s a blessing or a curse, so don’t cause trouble.”

"Father..." Han Ziyun looked downcast and sighed for a long time, "Father, my Han family is a pure minister and military general. We have guarded the border for three generations, relying on loyalty. But now the new emperor is tyrannical and ruthless. Since I accompanied you to Beijing, I never thought about life and death!"

"Shut up, don't speak nonsense!"

"Father, it's just us father and son talking about it. No one in the capital knows that since the new emperor ascended the throne in October last year, the blood on the execution ground at Caishikou has never been done! The car cracked the important ministers, and the royal family was killed. Noon At most, three censors were killed in a single day outside the gate! The new emperor killed too much, acted perversely and recklessly, and was unpredictable. He had only been on the throne for half a year. "

"It's a blessing, not a curse. If the new emperor really wants to take the Han family's knife this time, his son will accompany you! But father, if you can escape this time, I only hope that you can do more for yourself and your wife in the future." Children, women and children, think about it, and retreat bravely. You always say that the new emperor is the son of Sejong, the throne is orthodox, and Emperor Sejong is a benevolent emperor, but I think this new emperor..."

Xuan Pinghou on the bed broke out into a violent cough, Han Ziyun hurried over to pat him on the back, at this moment the attendant knocked on the door and announced: "Third Master, Imperial Doctor Xu has arrived."

"Please."

Xuan Ping Hou was exhausted from traveling for days, his old injuries broke out, and he was over-thinking, so he suddenly fell ill, and he didn't receive timely medical treatment.Xu Yuanzhi gave him an injection and prescribed a prescription, and Han Ziyun hurriedly sent someone into the city overnight to grab the medicine.

After the acupuncture, Hou Shun of Xuan Ping breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the bed and looked at Xu Yuanzhi and asked: "I always feel kind-hearted when I see Imperial Doctor Xu, have you seen him before?"

Xu Yuanzhi put away the silver needle and said with a smile: "14 years ago, Lord Hou defeated Beifan and returned to the court triumphantly. The late emperor ordered me to heal your wound."

Xuan Pinghou had an impression now, he hurriedly thanked again, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and I haven't been in the capital for more than ten years in a flash."

"To tell you the truth, I haven't been in the capital for more than ten years." Xu Yuanzhi shook his head and laughed at himself, "I left the capital 12 years ago, and now I was called back by His Majesty."

Xu Yuanzhi packed up the consultation box and said goodbye, Han Ziyun got up and sent him out, and when he came back, he saw the old Hou Ye lying on the bed with a dazed expression.

"It's been 12 years." Xuan Pinghou said disappointedly.

"Father, Sejong passed away 12 years ago, and Emperor Yanshi ascended the throne...but what else happened?"

Xuan Pinghou signaled Han Ziyun to help him up, lay on the pillow and lost his mind, and said slowly for a long while: "You only said that the new emperor was cruel and unkind, and the killing was too heavy, but you know that 14 years ago, he led the northern army to return to Beijing triumphantly. The emperor ordered the prince to go ten miles out of the city to meet him, and the eight-year-old prince is modest and well-behaved, no one in the court would praise him."

"Twelve years ago, Emperor Sejong went on a tour of the Huainan River, and the crown prince stayed in the capital as the heir. Suddenly, it was reported that the East Palace was flooded, and the little prince was buried in a sea of ​​flames! After hearing the bad news, Emperor Sejong hurried back to Beijing, but on the way he fell off his horse and passed away. Congratulations! The queen was so sad that she couldn't afford to get sick, and the empress and the prince suddenly disappeared! The brother of Emperor Sejong's mother and compatriot, the then King Rui led troops into the palace, claiming that it was the noble concubine Chu who murdered the prince in order to seize the heir, and personally killed the prince. Killed the Chu family. Afterwards, the Empress Dowager issued an edict, and King Lirui ascended the throne to be the first Emperor Yanshi."

"There are a lot of strange things in it. Whoever gets the benefits in the end, no one in the world is stupid! But no one thought that the little prince who was buried in the fire was still alive, and there would be a day when he would regain the throne."

"In just a few years, he hid behind the scenes, strategized at every step, and provoked the father and son of Emperor Yanshi to fight each other. First, the prince was killed, and Emperor Yanshi died in the palace. Killed by poison, two emperors died one after another, the mantis caught the cicada, and the fourth prince fell into Jinshang's hands. At that time, the country was already in his pocket, and he could have stayed in the capital and directly ascended the throne, but he resolutely abandoned the city and led The army marched north, intercepted and killed the second prince who raised troops to seize the throne, occupied Guancheng and never returned, and the throne was unsuccessful, forcing the empress dowager to issue an edict, declaring the world to return his status and make him the new king, and all the officials went north to kneel Welcome to the capital. In this way, his throne is justified and innocent!"

Xuan Ping Hou sighed slowly, looked at Han Ziyun and said: "Such a heart and strategy, iron and blood skills, I am afraid that no one in the world can match. In terms of age, the new emperor is a few years younger than you, but such a heart and deeds You are not as good as ten of them! Now you are far away at the border, and you only listen to the rumors of others, and ask about the cause and effect of everything. The wrath of the emperor, laying down millions of corpses, the emperor's power and tactics are beyond ordinary people's comprehension."

At this moment in the Zichen Palace in the capital, all Xie Dan's thoughts are also focused on this small durian post.

After reading the new news at hand, he threw it on the case and ordered: "Pass the meal." Then he took the pile of memorials at the front, spread them out, quickly picked out a few of them, and brought them up. The pen starts marking.

Eunuch Chen keenly felt that the emperor was in a bad mood.Although the face is still indifferent and self-sustaining, only those who are used to serving in front of him can subtly detect that every movement of the emperor today is obviously impatient, and the palace people hold their breaths and concentrate on each other. .

Now seeing him sitting in front of the case and starting to critique papers, Chen Lianjiang couldn't help but feel very pleased. The new monarch puts the country's affairs at the top of his list. It's a blessing for the country, and it's a blessing for me!

However, after the emperor finished approving the few books and had a simple meal, he picked up the wind by himself, hurried out of the palace gate, and walked down the steps in front of the palace: "Prepare the horse."

Chen Lianjiang said in his heart, it's over, His Majesty is going to the Liuhuayi Station at night, more than 100 miles away.But he didn't dare to stop him, so he hurriedly asked a few more guards to follow.
