Chapter 178: Food Prices
Zhao Xian was lucky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the time of the incident, Li Decai responded in a timely manner, and although the medical skills of the doctor invited were not superb, they could be regarded as making a quick decision.
Whether it is ginseng tablets, ginseng decoction, acupuncture, moxibustion, etc., they all play their due role.
The medical officers verbally condemned the doctor for piercing the little emperor's bent bone acupoint, but there was no way to change it.
It is fortunate to save his life, at the moment of crisis, this moxibustion on the Qugu acupoint is really dangerous and dangerous, and Shengsheng pulled back one of the legs of the little emperor who stepped into the ghost gate.
But it only saved his life.
The Son of Heaven was sick, and he did not go to court for half a month. Fortunately, his own sense of existence is not very strong, in the past ten years, he has been the queen mother's supervisor, and now it has just been restored.
After the old ministers who were always opposed to the Queen Mother in the Political Hall and the Privy Council stood up and said that the Son of Heaven was only in poor health and was fine, the government and the opposition expressed their emotional stability.
Of course, it is not known what everyone is talking about behind the scenes.
kicked Zhao Xian away, but Empress Dowager Tian was not happy.
This matter was out of her control from beginning to end. According to her original plan, when the concubine enters the palace and the little emperor has it, she naturally has a way to abolish him smoothly, instead of dealing with it in such a hurry as now.
Looking at the confessions obtained by his subordinates after interrogation, combined with the inferences presented by the medical officers, Empress Dowager Tian easily came to a conclusion: Zhao Xian's mind was not too damaged, and he could express his thoughts normally, but no matter how good his recovery was in the later stage, it was impossible to stand up again.
In short, he has lost the ability to act.
Great Wei did not need an emperor who was too difficult to get up and could not fulfill his duties.
As soon as the real situation is announced, there is no need for her to speak, and the civil and military officials themselves will force Zhao Xian to take the throne.
But in this case, who can take over the throne?
The little emperor fell on the woman's body because of the wind immediately, and this kind of thing cannot be washed away no matter how you justify it. She could only find a way to cover up the inside story, and Shi Xuan and Chu Zhen, who witnessed the scene, not only couldn't reveal it, but also had to help the royal family block the hole together.
As for why he fell ill, after the medical officers examined him, they all believed that in addition to being drunk, the little emperor had also used a very large dose of tiger and wolf medicine in a short period of time.
Empress Dowager Tian sat on a chair, holding a fold in her hand, and thought for a long time.
Whether or not to be pursued and to what extent. Is it better to find out the truth, or leave him alone.
Wang Wenyi walked up from outside the hall lightly and said, "Sage, Cui Fengyao sent someone to send the pulse case. ”
Empress Dowager Tian nodded and motioned for him to bring the pulse case.
There are two copies of the pulse case, one is for the little emperor and the other is for the sheng lady.
Zhao Xian still couldn't get up, and the medicine and medical officers of the Imperial Medical Bureau had already done their best, and they could only try to ensure that his limbs would not shrink too quickly while his body was not moving.
On the side of Sheng Niangzi, according to the medical officer, she is in good health and the fetus in her womb is in good condition.
After reading the pulse case, she raised her head and said, "Pass the order to go down and give the brides a reward." ”
Although Zhao Xian was abolished, the concubine had to take it. According to the day chosen by the Ministry of Rites, the three concubines were carried into the palace according to the rites.
Even if you are a widow, you still have to do everything in terms of face.
A few days ago, she had already revealed to her courtiers that a certain palace maid who was favored by the little emperor was pregnant, and soon, the news would spread.
If the sheng lady can get a man in one fell swoop, after confirming that the son's bloodline is correct, it will be classified under the name of the palace maid, and after it is established, it will be raised by the queen.
After thinking about it for a while, it is another battle to decide who will bring the newborn son. Empress Dowager Tian supported her forehead, very annoyed.
Zhao Xian, a fool, has never stopped, and when it comes, he doesn't forget to make some trouble for her.
The capital is far away from Guangnan, and here He Suyu has already entered the palace, and Zhou Qin is still completely ignorant.
For most of the year, Quang Nam West Road is in the midst of war, with barren fields and displaced people. Although Guizhou is in a relatively hinterland, because of this, it is the direction in which refugees from other state capitals flee.
The exemption of taxes from the DPRK and China is only a drop in the bucket, and even if there is no need to pay grain taxes, Quang Nam still cannot be self-sufficient in grain.
Zhou Qin took the account book of the previous month in the mansion and went to find Mrs. Zhao.
"In the middle of the year, a bucket of good rice was 170 Wen, and ordinary good rice was 80 Wen a bucket, but now it is less than half a load, and it has been sold for 480 Wen a bucket of good rice, and nearly 300 Wen a bucket of ordinary good rice." Her tone paused slightly, "Grandmother, how much grain is still in Xingping, can you hold it......?"
The price of rice in Guizhou has increased nearly four times in the past few months, and the Protector Mansion naturally doesn't care, even if it rises ten times and a hundred times, it can still afford to eat, but ordinary people will have to complain.
If there is any chaos in the year, even if he is on the front line, Zhou Yan, who is also the governor of Guangxi and Guizhou, will not be able to get out of it.
Mrs. Zhao has walked through the war, and naturally understands the importance of stabilizing food prices better than her granddaughter.
Guangnan originally had an abundant grain supply, and Pennzhou, Xiangzhou, Yongzhou, and Quanzhou each had a large amount of stock in the warehouse. Yongzhou, in particular, is the main grain-producing state in Quang Nam. Su Ling's fire that day not only burned the attempt of the Jiaozhi soldiers to replenish their salaries, but also burned the grain stored in Yongzhou's government clean.
In recent months, Guizhou has been working hard to transfer grain and soldiers to the front line, and how much surplus grain is still in Xingping is indeed a question mark.
It stands to reason that the two of them should not be involved in government affairs, but although Tian Chu is in charge of logistics, if something happens, it is still Zhou Yan, the number one who is responsible. The two families are now tied to a rope, and whoever is at fault cannot stay out of the other.
Mrs. Zhao invited Tian Chu over and asked him vaguely about his plans to stabilize grain prices.
To the people of the Protector Mansion, Tian Chu did not hide it, he said: "The price of grain in Guizhou has risen again and again, in addition to the shortage of supply and demand, and the stock of grain and rice is indeed insufficient, it is also inseparable from the hoarding of local luxury and wealthy households. ”
He said helplessly: "Originally, I planned to catch a few typical examples and make an example, but because they contributed money and efforts in the previous period, it was not easy to start, and I was afraid that I would be poked in the backbone of the court." ”
Zhou Qin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, his grandmother mobilized Guizhou to fight the enemy together, and the local wealthy, landlords, and magnates assigned their private soldiers to assist in patrolling and defending the city.
The heroes of the past have become today's thieves, but the Guizhou government can't do it, lest it be taken out to publicize the court's unloading and killing of donkeys. If this argument becomes the climate, who will dare to respond to the call of the imperial court and contribute money and efforts in the future.
