After the Jing case of the first case of Tianwu was completed, Zhu Cihong added Yang Yufan, the governor of the Eastern Military Governor's Mansion, as the marquis, and Qu Shiyun, the governor of Guangxi, was promoted to the rank of Doctor of Guanglu.

Sun Chuanting's counterinsurgency was also promoted to the rank of Guanglu doctor, Li Dingguo captured the Jin King for meritorious service, was named viscount, and the rest of the counterinsurgency generals were rewarded.

This time to quell the rebellion, it can be said that it was to pick up the fruit, many troops were dispatched, and they did not encounter the rebels at all, so they had to be responsible for maintaining stability.

Of the more than 100,000 rebels who surrendered, the Ministry of War sent people to pick and choose, and in the end only 50,000 people remained.

Zhu Cihong handed over the 20,000 rebels recruited from the south to Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, and asked him to go to Luzon Island, occupy territory, engage in immigration, and lay the foundation for the establishment of the Nanyang Protectorate.

The 30,000 rebels in the north formed the Western Army, cooperated with the Dingxi Army of the Western Army's Governor's Office, and passed through the Qinghai area, laying the foundation for the establishment of the Western Protectorate.

In the three years of Tianwu, all kinds of wastes are waiting to be rebuilt, and Emperor Tianwu is not only in the former dynasty but also in the harem, and he is very busy.

At present, the queen has been pregnant for six or seven months, and with the efforts of the tireless Zhu Cihong, Song Guifei and Yang Guifei are also pregnant, and the palace is full of joy, and Daming will usher in a bright future.

However, under the light, darkness will still breed, and a big case is quietly forming.

Kaifeng Province, Henan.

"Baked cakes, authentic Zhili grass oven baked cakes!"

In Kaifeng City, the Wu shopkeeper of the grass oven cake stall at the entrance of the alley is selling hard.

Under the tilt of the setting sun, an elegant man in plain clothes hurriedly passed by the straw oven cake stall and was about to walk into the alley.

Seeing this person, the shopkeeper Wu greeted warmly: "Mr. Han is back, it's early enough today." ”

The Mr. Han in the mouth of the Wu shopkeeper, surnamed Han Chengke, is a rare celebrity in Kaifeng Mansion, and he is also a person who does literature, and he goes in and out of the Zhou Palace.

Due to the withdrawal of the three guards of the Zhou Wangfu in the early years, most of the lineage of the Later Zhou Dynasty was indulged in poetry and songs, and the same was true of Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou.

Han Chengke's family life was very solid at that time, and later Li Zicheng flooded Kaifeng, and washed the Zhou Wang's family into the river as the eighth king, and the king of Zhou, who escaped from the ascension to heaven in a small boat, was also seriously ill, and ascended to heaven with his legs crossed in the second year.

With the decline of the Zhou Palace, Han Chengke lost his source of livelihood and had to rely on the filial piety of those who had accumulated savings in the past.

But who would have thought that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he promulgated a new policy, abolished the privileges of meritorious people, and the status of the people plummeted.

For a while, the people who clinged to him were scattered, and Han Chengke's life began to make ends meet, and the warmth and coldness of people were vividly reflected in the face of the new deal.

However, he was not able to take the exam, so Han Chengke barely survived as a teacher in a newly built social school in Kaifeng City.

However, the good times did not last long, Han Chengke's old mother was seriously ill at this time, his father died early, and his mother was his only close relative, Han Chengke vowed to let his mother die well.

Day after day, year after year, seeing a doctor and taking medicine gradually hollowed out all the Han family's funds, and now the Han family no longer has the time it used to be.

Looking at the enthusiastic Wu shopkeeper, Han Chengke replied politely: "Wu shopkeeper, I went to grab medicine for the old mother at home, don't say more, see you later." ”

"Mr. Han stays!"

The shopkeeper Wu wrapped a few baked cakes in straw paper and handed them over with both hands, and said with a smile: "Take a few baked cakes back, the enlightenment of the second boy in my family depends on Mr. Han." ”

Han Chengke did not refuse, after all, the mouth of a scholar is also used to eat, and this kind of making money is not illegal, there is really no reason to refuse.

Holding the medicine bag in his left hand and the baked cake in his right hand, Han Chengke's heart was slightly relaxed, after all, another day was about to pass.

"Mother, I'm back!"

The moment he walked into the door, the gloom on Han Chengke's face was swept away, and he was replaced by a warm smile.

It's a pity that Han's mother didn't give him the same response as before.

"Mother?"

"Mother!"

Inside the house, an old woman with silver hair was lying on the ground, her eyes closed and her face sallow.

"Mother, what's wrong with you, mother! Don't scare me! ”

Han Chengke trembled and walked closer, tears slid down his face, and his trembling hand reached under the old woman's nose.

And breathing!

Han Chengke hurriedly hugged his mother to the bed and ran out of the door in a panic!

"Mr. Han, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Han Chengke hurriedly ran away and didn't answer the shopkeeper Wu, what's the urgency?

It didn't take long for Han Chengke and a Lang Zhong with a medicine box on his back to run back in a hurry.

"Uncle Zhong, how is my mother?" Han Chengke asked nervously.

Lang Zhong, who was known as Uncle Zhong, probed his finger on Han's mother's pulse and said softly: "Mr. Han, your mother's condition is not optimistic, you can't drag it out like this any longer, or else you ......"

Han Chengke frowned: "Uncle Zhong, do you have any way?" ”

"Hey...... My ability is really powerless to solve it, and Ma Yinglong's people should have a way. ”

Ma Yinglong is a time-honored medical hall in Kaifeng Mansion, with a history of more than 60 years, although many doctors in Langzhong are skilled, but the price is not something Han Chengke can afford.

Han Chengke wanted to cry without tears when he heard this, and looked around, there was nothing left to sell in the house, and the silver taels on his body were not enough to treat his mother.

"How's that okay?" Han Chengke was in trouble.

Han's mother Liu has been treating her since she fell ill, and Han Chengke has also helped him a lot, and the relationship between coming and going has been concluded.

Uncle Zhong admired Han Chengke's filial piety very much, he liked this child in his heart, and he couldn't bear to see him make trouble.

Uncle Zhong said: "Child, I know you are embarrassed, so I will try my best to hang the old lady's life with a decoction, and I will give you a pair of medicines for a while, which can protect the old lady for three days at most." ”

After pondering for a moment, he said again: "I have an old friend in Xiangfu County, who is generous and has excellent medical skills, and often imitates Xinglin Dong Feng, you can give it a try." ”

As a scholar, Han Chengke naturally knew Dong Feng, who was a miracle doctor named after Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo during the Three Kingdoms period.

Since Uncle Zhong's old friend follows Dong Feng's example, he must have some strength, and the fee is less, Xiangfu County is only a dozen miles away from Kaifeng City, one day is enough for him to go back and forth, and there are two days left to see his mother, which is enough!

Thinking of this, Han Chengke gave a deep salute and said, "Uncle Zhong's kindness and sincerity cannot be repaid. ”

fed the decoction prescribed by Uncle Zhong to his mother, and the candlelight of the Han family was lit overnight.

Seeing his mother's breath becoming more and more stable after taking the decoction, Han Chengke finally put his mind at ease.

As soon as the white belly of the fish appeared in the sky, Han Chengke left the house and went to Xiangfu County.

Before the sun reached the top of his head, Han Chengke had already arrived at the entrance of the city gate of Xiangfu County, which was not far more than ten miles, but it was still very physically demanding for a weak scholar like Han Chengke.

Touching the beads of sweat on his head, Han Chengke, who had been in the dust all the way, continued to walk towards the city.

However, a tall figure stood in front of Han Chengke: "Stop!" Lead! ”

Han Chengke pulled out his sleeve.

Broken! I didn't sleep all night and wasn't awake enough, and I was in a hurry, so I forgot to lead the way, how can this be good!

The city guards watched Han Chengke stop his movements, and vigilantly put his hand on the Yanling knife on his waist, and the rest of the city guards slowly surrounded him.

Han Chengke showed a hint of an ugly smile: "This military master, a certain person from Kaifeng Mansion, came to Xiangfu County to ask Langzhong to treat the old mother at home, and he was too anxious to go out and forgot to lead the way, and please be accommodating." ”

"People from Kaifeng Mansion? Come to Xiangfu County to invite Langzhong? Forgot to lead the way? Boy, your excuse is too clumsy, when I am Xiangfu County, is it your storytelling field! ”

The city guard suppressed his voice and changed his expression to a cold expression: "Brother, arrest this outcast!" ”

The surrounding city guards pulled out the Yanling knife and forced it up, according to the instructions from above, there will be the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inspect Henan in the near future, and no one will be allowed to enter the city!

Han Chengke bowed deeply and was rude: "Listen to my explanation, I am a lifter, and I have had a good relationship with King Zhou Duan, please be accommodating!" ”

Lift people? Still acquaintance with King Zhou? Can it be mixed like this?

It was really a man who met a soldier, and it was unreasonable, no one believed Han Chengke's words, and immediately took him down and locked him in the prison cell of Xiangfu County.
