Chapter 568: Peerless Medicine
Li Shu looked at the thick stack of posts, and felt indescribably bored in his heart, and finally decided to pull the apprentice over and pass on the boredom.
didn't want Feng Gongzi to be there, so he called the two little guys to the study together.
"Do you know about Emperor Chengping?"
Feng Gongzi is okay, but Li Qianqian really doesn't know much about this emperor, only that he values her father and brothers very much, and in her opinion, knowing these is enough.
"Do you know, why are the princes of other countries competing for the throne, but our Nanchu is the uncle in charge?"
Feng Gongzi only has an unreliable guess on this issue, and Li Qianqian has no concept at all.
Li Shu took a sip of tea and began to talk about the ancients.
Emperor Chengping of Southern Chu ascended the throne for less than 20 years, and Emperor Zhaolong reigned for 32 years, and his children and grandchildren were full, but in the royal family, it may not be a good thing for his children and grandchildren to be full, especially these princes are all tall and talented, and after they pulled the prince off the horse, they all competed for the head.
Emperor Chengping has never been looked down upon by these brothers, except that he has no ability, cowardice, and most importantly, he has no heirs, his own mother is all about his two brothers, and it is better to choose a companion for his niece than to choose a concubine for him.
After he got married, the concubine's first child was because her mother-in-law called her into the palace, but she forgot about her, and let her starve and freeze in the palace, and she had a miscarriage after falling due to physical exhaustion.
Later, when the eldest son was born, his eldest nephew's son would run away, and Emperor Zhaolong didn't care about this son, but when he was seriously ill, it was this son who ruled out the public opinion and supported the medicine prescribed by the Tai Hospital at that time, and pulled him back from the ghost gate.
Since then, Emperor Chengping has officially entered the eyes of Emperor Zhaolong, when his excellent brothers attacked each other and fought together, Emperor Chengping, as always, quietly waited by Emperor Zhaolong's side, so that Emperor Zhaolong, who was troubled by the battle between his sons, looked at him differently.
At the same time, Emperor Chengping's non-fighting and non-grabbing gave him the qualification to compete for the throne, but Emperor Zhaolong did not inform Emperor Chengping.
Emperor Chengping has never had a son-in-law, which makes him feel that he is not qualified to compete for the throne.
Until the death of the first emperor, the clear words were spread to him, until he ascended the throne and became filial piety, he was still like falling into the clouds and mist, until his mother, crying and begging him to give up the throne to his brother, he woke up like a dream.
But in the face of his mother's tears, all the dissatisfaction and words were blocked in his chest, and he couldn't say or swallow it.
Or Concubine Xuan came out and reprimanded the Queen Mother, "The first emperor appointed him to pass on the throne to Chengping, why did he want him to let Xian? If his two elder brothers are really good, why didn't the first emperor pass on the throne to them?"
"The first emperor is ill and smeared!"
"I'm sorry, the first emperor is ill, I think you have a brain disease. Don't say anything else, Chengping really listens to you and gives way to his brother, he has two brothers, you want that son to succeed to the throne? Also, Chengping is already the emperor, abdicate and give way to his brother, he is obviously young, but he wants to be the emperor, can his two brothers allow him to live? one year, two years? For the sake of his two brothers, you have been treating him badly since he was a child, what is happening now? Seeing that he is easy to talk and filial, you want to bully honest people to the end?"
Concubine Xuan was wearing a dark black robe, and her aura was violent, directly pressing the Queen Mother into a little white flower.
"Don't cry to him, he can't hold your tears because of his filial piety, but if you want to force him to be an unfilial son, I can't spare you. β
The Queen Mother, dressed in white, looks really a pitiful little white flower, "When did I force him to be an unfilial son?"
"You forced him to abdicate and make way for Xian, and did not follow the will of the first emperor, isn't this unfilial piety?"
Southern Chu is a patrilineal society, patriarchal supremacy, so parents and parents, father is higher than mother, the last words of the first emperor passed on to Emperor Chengping, but the queen mother forced Emperor Chengping to abdicate, is not in accordance with the will of the first emperor, of course, unfilial piety.
The Queen Mother was squeezed by the Queen Mother, and there was no second word.
In fact, Emperor Chengping's two brothers, one with a broken leg and one missing an arm, could not be the emperor because of his disability, and the Queen Mother was stunned by the two of them crying, so she rashly asked Emperor Chengping, and she didn't expect this section at all.
Now that she is being squeezed by Concubine Xuan like this, her mind will naturally be clear.
It's just that she and Emperor Chengping have been estranged since then, and the Queen Mother regretted it so much that she tried every possible way to save the mother-son relationship, but to no avail.
She asked the queen to help her intercede, but the queen hated her for causing her miscarriage, and let the side concubine give birth to a child before her, only to respond to it on her face, after the queen mother knew, she was so angry that she scolded the queen in private, and she had to play a close relationship with the queen on the surface.
Li Qianqian said lightly, what does this have to do with the uncle in charge? Secretly exchanged glances with Feng Gongzi, Feng Gongzi smiled helplessly, and Li Shu turned a blind eye to the small movements between the two small ones.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.
The estrangement between the Queen Mother and Emperor Chengping is not caused by a single incident, but gradually deepened over time, the Queen Mother complained in her heart that Concubine Xuan was troublesome, meddling in the affairs between their mother and son, but she didn't know that if it wasn't for Concubine Xuan's action, Emperor Chengping would have died a long time ago, of course, it will not be Emperor Chengping who is sitting on the dragon throne now, and she will not be the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother has always looked down on others, and in order to mend the gap between her and Emperor Chengping, she repeatedly whispered and begged for peace, but was ignored by Emperor Chengping.
How could the arrogant Queen Mother endure it, because her two sons were disabled, so she turned to support the princes of other former emperors, such as Prince Ping and King Jing, Concubine Ping is still alive, how can she be allowed to win over her own son, the Queen Mother is not without a son, her youngest son is still the emperor! What is it to win over her son?
Want to help her son Prince Ping pull down her own son Emperor Chengping? Who believes who is a fool.
King Jing thought it was very funny, his own mother had recruited others to deal with his own son? It was so funny! What did Emperor Chengping do to his own mother that would make his mother want to help others and pull him off the throne?
"This queen mother is sick, right?" Li Qianqian said.
"Although Emperor Chengping has children, he has no children. "There are grandchildren and no grandchildren, but the eldest prince is an idiot, and he has lost several princes who have become married over the years.
Prince Ping and King Jing originally had a prince who supported them, but unfortunately, they were blessed, so the courtiers were not optimistic about the prince now, because who knows if they would die suddenly.
On the contrary, the uncles are strong and talented, and it seems that investing in the uncles will be safer than investing in the princes.
"Among the princes, there is no one who can inherit the throne?" Li Qianqian couldn't help but ask, and secretly said in his heart, being an emperor and being like Emperor Chengping is really sad!
Li Shu shook his head, "There were good ones before, but unfortunately, they died." The emperor was furious and sent someone to investigate thoroughly, but unfortunately he couldn't think of who it was. β
Feng Gongzi wanted to speak and stopped, Li Shu shook his head at him, he had to swallow the words back, he didn't want Li Qian's eyes to be sharp, and he saw the movements between them, but he didn't say anything.
Li Shu took out the Gao family's post, "It seems that Gao Xiang is not in a good situation recently." β
"How?"
"This is the seventh post from his family, and he has been rejected six times before, but he still sent it. "If you want to befriend Li Qianqian with such perseverance, you must have a plan.
Feng Gongzi expressed displeasure with the Gao family's actions, but in front of the master and apprentice, he didn't say anything, he just snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.
"In addition to letting the tall young master get close to you, the Gao family also ordered his sister to get close to Ji Yaoshen, the third lady of the high school was arrogant, and she was suddenly sent by her mother to approach Ji Yaoshen, but there is nowhere to vent her resentment in her heart, if you meet her in the future, you have to deal with it carefully. β
Although Li Qianqian was a little disapproving, he still responded honestly.
Feng Gongzi later simply asked people to get a copy of the information of these noble girls and noble sons in Beijing and sent it to Li Qianqian.
Li Qianqian got the information, and was stunned for a long time, Lan Tang and Zhang Duoli laughed when they saw it, "Feng San is not easy to send, how can I send you this?" Lan Tang joked that Feng San would not please girls, and he didn't want to go down, so the owner of Fengzhuang ordered someone to send several medical books, which made Li Qianqian and Zhang Duoli laugh and say nothing.
Lan Tang held the medical book and said, "This is what the eldest brother told me before, I said that it was a pity that I couldn't buy it outside, and the eldest brother said that he would help me find it." β
Li Qian smiled and bent his eyes, "Well, what the eldest brother told you!" The kind-hearted one didn't make it clear, when the owner of Feng Zhuang talked to Lan Tang, he was afraid that he had already prepared these books, right?
Zhang Duoli thought of her ex-fiancΓ©, at the beginning he also gave her a lot of things, everything she regarded as a treasure, but later found out that he didn't know what he gave her, then she knew that he didn't buy those things, just to explain to the next person, and when he saw something that the girl's family liked, he sent her a copy.
Li Qianqian saw that her face was not quite right, and hurriedly pulled her, "Sister is here to help me, help me look at these data, right?"
"Is it okay?" Zhang Duoli asked timidly.
"What's not to do?"
"This is not something that Feng Gongzi specially gave you......"
Li Qianqian raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, "What does that have to do with showing you? Did you misunderstand something?" Li Qianqian smiled lightly.
Zhang Duoli glared at her when she heard this, "Since you say so, then of course I have to take a good look." β
"Come on!" Li Qianqian gave her a stack, and then another stack to Lan Tang.
Lan Tang didn't expect that he also had a share, and he was dumbfounded.
"What, what am I doing here?"
Li Qianqian grabbed her and stared wide-eyed, "This is called sharing blessings and sharing difficulties!"
"There are so many data on the noble daughters and noble sons of Nanchu?" Lan Tang shook his head, filling the three major cages.
"I heard that all of these are from those high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Li Qianqian flipped through the information in his hand, and happened to flip through the data that recorded Ji Yaoshen.
She looked at it intently, and then smiled, "This is a funny piece of information." Throughout the article, Ji Yaoshen's life is introduced in a witty manner, from her eating habits such as liking chicken and not mutton, to when she was recognized by Prince Ping and returning to her home, all of which are remembered in detail.
"I remember really carefully, but everyone's information is so careful, if you want to read it all, it doesn't take ten days and half a month, you can't do it. Lan Tang flipped through the data in his hand and found that the data recorded on it was really very careful.
"Who made this information? Lan Tang commented, Zhang Duoli turned to the first page of the book at hand, and saw that the organizer on it was the twenty-seventh son.
"Twenty-seven son, what does this mean?"
"Oh, this is the digital son of Fengjiazhuang, they are in charge of recording, and the twenty-seventh son is the twenty-seventh of the digital son. Lan Tang solved Zhang Duoli's doubts.
Li Qianqian sighed, let Chunjiang lay out the paper and study the ink, and made records while looking at the data, planning to make a relationship table by himself.
Zhang Duoli was interested when she saw it, and asked Chunjiang to prepare one for her.
Seeing this, Li Qianqian simply made a table to facilitate the record.
Thanks to these materials, ten days later, she finally got to know a little bit about these noble girls and noble sons in Nanchu Jingli.
"It's a pity for these princesses. After Lan Tang looked at the form of the princess, he couldn't help but sigh for those princesses.
Zhang Duoli hadn't seen it yet, so she couldn't help but wonder why.
"Look, these people are all famous and talented women in Beijing! When they were assigned to marry the prince, they must have been very happy, but only a few days after they were proud, their husbands passed away, and if they were lucky enough to give birth to a son and a half daughter, they would have a place to rely on in the future, and if they failed to have children, they could only keep it, and there was no hope for a lifetime. β
Li Qian glanced at her and said, "Zifei fish, how do you know the joy of fish?"
Lan Tang grinned, "I'll just say it." β
"Have you finished reading all the medical books?" Li Qianqian changed the topic, Lan Tang shook his head, "The medical books that my eldest brother found for me this time are too difficult, and it is really not easy to read them." β
"Didn't you show it to Mr. Lan?" Li Qianqian asked in wonder, Lan Tang smiled bitterly, "My father is busy! Do you remember that little baby?"
"Yes. Li Qianqian thought for a moment and asked, "Are you researching the medicine for them?"
"Well, my father said, although the three children are still healthy, but if they want to grow up smoothly, they still have to grind! I am afraid that they will die young, so I am busy boiling medicine for them, afraid that they are too young to make up too much, so I want to give them a medicinal bath, and he doesn't want the prescription to flow out, for fear of being used indiscriminately, so he plans to boil the medicinal herbs into pills, and when they turn back to bathe, as long as they throw a pill into it, they can turn the bath soup into a medicinal bath soup.
Well, Mr. Lan's medicated bath should not be underestimated! I think back then, she grew up in a medicated bath! Look at her now, her head is so strong!
"Then Mr. Lan is busy refining pills now?"
"Yes!" Lan Tang sighed slightly, "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have time to read the medical books that my eldest brother gave me."
The little sisters chatted and talked about Fang Shuqing and the Wei family's pills.
The price of the Wei family's pills is very chaotic now, and there are still people outside, claiming to have grabbed the peerless medicine specially refined by Wei Changxuan, and they plan to open an auction, and the one with the highest price will get it when the time comes.
"What kind of medicine is it?"
"Who knows? It's not going to be a good thing anyway. Lan Tang didn't have a good impression of Fang Shuqing, and she didn't look down on what she handled.
Although Li Qianqian was curious, he felt that it was none of his business, so he didn't pay attention to it.
