Chapter 64: Zhao Yuyan Passes Away
The welfare system of the Tang Dynasty is very humane, in the days before the Shangyuan Festival, in addition to leaving the necessary personnel on duty, the rest of the people are not on duty.
But just the day before the Shangyuan Festival, Li Jun's happy life came to an abrupt end, Lou Zhong brought the Northern Liao delegation into Beijing, the reason why the Northern Liao mission came at this time was very simple, that is, he was frightened by Wei Wuji, Wei Wuji just arrived in Ganzhou, and began to engage in military exercises, and the Northern Liao people thought that Wei Wuji was ready to take them to the knife, what is the current combat effectiveness of the Tang Army? What exactly is the secret weapon? I've always been a mystery, and the people who have seen those secret weapons are either dead or captured.
Finally, a few deserters escaped, but they all went crazy, and rumors such as "gods and men descend to earth, and the Tang army will summon heavenly thunder" are flying all over the sky, so Yelu Chu, the king of the Northern Liao Southern Courtyard who is closest to Wei Wuji, immediately reported the news to the Northern Liao court.
As soon as the high-level leaders of Northern Liao discussed, the previous Tang army could not defeat it by itself, not to mention that now the Tang army still has a secret weapon, and everyone unanimously decided: immediately send an envoy to Chang'an. If Wei Wuji gets drunk one day, he will be beaten in vain.
When Li Jun heard this reason from Lou Chong's mouth, he smiled bitterly, these Northern Liao people now have no blood at all from the grassland.
Thinking of Northern Liao, Li Jun thought of Nanchu, Nanchu these guys are really stubborn, after his victory in Yuyang, he specially sent someone to go to Nanchu Xuanwei, but in the end Li Jun got the head of the Tang Dynasty envoy, and Li Junqi's seven orifices were smoked, if it weren't for Xiao Wangzhi and others to persuade him, Li Jun would have ordered the destruction of Nanchu a long time ago.
Lou Zhong is an honest person, Li Jun asked, he replied, there was no superfluous words, Li Jun felt that it was a little inappropriate to let him lead the Flying Fox Army, so he immediately clapped his hands and said: "General Lou, you returned to the dynasty this time to serve as Lang Zhongling, I decided to let you lead the general of the Xiliu Army, do you think it is good?" ”
"Obey." Lou Zhong replied with a good question. Isn't he going to lead the general of the Flying Fox Army, why has he become the Hosoliu Army now?
The four armies established by Li Jun have their own characteristics, the Flying Fox Army is a selected sergeant with special skills, that is, the so-called special forces in later generations, Yulinwei is a full cavalry team, Long Xiaojun is very balanced in all aspects, it is the main force of the battle, and the remaining one of the fine willow army is more focused on defense, and now it is more appropriate to let Lou Zhong and Gao Qiang swap roles......
This time the envoy of the Northern Liao led the team is the king of the Southern Courtyard Yelu Chu, if you go to Beijin, Yelu Chu will never dare to go in person, those barbarians of the Northern Jin people will pull out their knives if they don't agree with each other, but they will have no worries when they go to Datang, because Datang is known as the state of etiquette, and when you arrive in Datang, not only is there no danger to your life, but you will also be entertained with delicious food and drink.
So this time Yelu Chu personally asked for orders to come to the Tang Dynasty, Li Jun took a look at Ye Lu Chu's resume, and directly sent this person to Gongsun Kun, this is obviously a rich second generation, who does not know how to fight soldiers and wars, such a person is not to worry.
Now everything should be focused on the Shangyuan Festival, every year on the Shangyuan Festival, there will always be stampedes and fires in the big city of Chang'an, this year's Jingzhao Mansion Yin has been replaced by Bao Qing of the Legalists, Li Jun hopes that there will be a change.
The night before the Shangyuan Festival, Li Jun and Bao Qing agreed on the final plan, it was almost late at night, this plan was actually the biggest difference from previous years, that is, Li Jun asked to organize the street gangsters in Chang'an City into a new organization, that is, the famous bad people.
The people in the government may not be so afraid, but those street gangsters, the people are afraid of them, because everyone is in the same neighborhood, and everyone knows who is what temperament.
By the time the two discussed, it was already the second half of the night, at this time He Shen suddenly ran in in a hurry, Bao Qing saw He Shen's sweaty appearance, and knew that something must have happened in the palace, so he immediately left.
After Bao Qing left, Li Jun asked unhappily, "What's the matter?" So flustered? ”
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao was born prematurely."
"What? Isn't there still a month left? ”
"This old slave also asked, and the steward of Zhiluo Palace said: It's okay this morning, but who knew that I accidentally fell while walking at night, and then it became like this."
Li Jun slapped his forehead heavily and said, "Have you notified Huashan?" ”
He Shen shook his head in confusion and said, "Although Doctor Hua Shen has superb medical skills, this woman may not be proficient in the matter of giving birth to a child." ”
Li Jun scolded: "Confused, hurry up and please, human life is the most important thing at this time, let the rest be put back." ”
"The old slave obeys the order, go and ask for a doctor now."
After He Shen left, Li Jun was still not at ease, so he also went to Zhiluo Palace, and when he arrived at the gate of Zhiluo Palace, he heard Zhao Yuyan's terrible shout, Red Sleeves was standing there trembling with fright, Li Jun hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Red Sleeves and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Seeing that it was Li Jun, Red Sleeves immediately hugged Li Jun and cried: "Your Majesty, the concubine is afraid." ”
Li Jun comforted: "Don't be afraid, with me, even if the king of heaven is here, I don't want to hurt you and the child, and from a medical point of view, the bodies of you and Concubine Zhao are also very different, Concubine Zhao is too thin, so it is more difficult to give birth to a child." ”
"What Your Majesty said is very true, don't worry too much." Hua Shan came behind Li Jun at some point and said with a smile.
As soon as Hua Shan came, the red sleeves immediately left Li Jun's arms, Li Jun glared at Hua Shan fiercely and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go in to see the situation, if it really doesn't work, use that thing." ”
"Your Majesty, is this true? The child in the concubine's womb is the blood of the royal family, and if there are any sequelae in the future, I am afraid that you will regret it. Hua Shan asked with a frown.
Li Jun nodded and said, "Human life is at stake, don't hesitate." ”
Hua Shan nodded and entered the delivery room, and suddenly there was a group of women's screams in the room, and Li Jun said angrily outside: "Mr. Hua was let him in, and no one can stop him, otherwise there will be no mercy." ”
The delivery room suddenly fell silent, and soon Huashan came out, and Li Jun hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?" ”
"Difficult birth, you can only use forceps, or adults and children can't be saved." Hua Shan immediately replied.
Li Jun nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then use it, try to protect the child, if the child is gone, then Concubine Zhao will survive and have no love." ”
"Huashan understands." After speaking, Hua Shan took out a large pair of pliers from the medical box behind him and walked back in.
Li Jun sighed and said, "He Shen, Xuan Zhao Kang enters the palace." ”
"The old slave obeys."
Half an hour later, as soon as Zhao Kang entered the palace, Huashan came out covered in blood, and Li Jun hurriedly asked, "Huashan, how is it?" ”
Hua Shan immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded: "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, the child is unharmed, it is a boy, but Concubine Zhao's blood collapsed, and the minister now uses ginseng to hang Concubine Zhao's last breath, and Concubine Zhao wants to see Marquis Zhao." ”
When Zhao Kang heard that Concubine Zhao wanted to see him, he immediately became a little confused, Li Jun patted Zhao Kang's shoulder and said, "Go in, Zhao Hou, you are now Concubine Zhao's only relative, remember to help me bring a word, I will fulfill my promise." ”
"I understand." Zhao Kang touched the sweat on his head and said.
Soon after Zhao Kang entered, a palace maid walked out with an infant baby in her arms, Li Jun carefully examined it, and found that the child was not wrong except for being particularly thin, Li Jun quickly took the child to the Empress Dowager Wei, and now Xiao Meier and Red Sleeves are pregnant, Princess Izumo is a Beijin person, and she doesn't know how to take care of the child, and the only one in the harem who can take care of the child is the Empress Dowager Wei.
After Zhao Kang came in, he carefully saluted Zhao Yuyan and said, "The concubine is well." ”
Zhao Yuyan's face turned pale, and she said with a miserable smile: "Cousin came forward to speak. ”
Zhao Kang carefully moved to Zhao Yuyan's bed, Zhao Yuyan grabbed Zhao Kang's hand and said, "Cousin, promise my sister to take good care of my child, so that he can live a carefree life in the future, and never get involved in the battle for the throne again." ”
Although Zhao Kang said that the relationship with Zhao Yuyan was not deep, but seeing Zhao Yuyan's tragic situation at this time, Zhao Kang's heart was also very sour, after all, both of them were surnamed Zhao, and the blood relationship was not far away, so Zhao Kang said with tears: "Yuyan, you can rest assured, you haven't done anything in your brother's life, it's a waste, but the nephew's matter, even if you fight for your brother's life, you will protect him." ”
"Thank you, cousin, my sister is tired, you go down first." Zhao Yuyan said weakly.
Zhao Kang had no choice but to leave, and as soon as he walked to the door, Zhao Yuyan's personal palace maid sent a box and said: "Zhao Hou, this is the personal money left by the mother before her death, you can stay, in case something happens to the little prince in the future, this money can be used for emergency relief." ”
Zhao Kang also took the box politely and said to the palace maid: "If I remember correctly, you also followed the concubine from the Zhao family to the palace, and when the concubine died, you can go back to the Zhao family with me." ”
The palace maid saluted and said expressionlessly: "Lord Hou, remember that the concubine is not short of the slave maid, and the slave and maid have decided to be martyred, but please take good care of the slave's parents and younger brother, and the slave and maid are grateful." ”
Zhao Kang sighed and said, "Write down the names of your parents and younger brother, Benhou will take good care of it, you can accompany the concubine with peace of mind." ”
"Thank you, Lord Hou......"
Li Jun came to Changle Palace, Empress Dowager Wei saw the child behind Li Jun and sighed helplessly: "The queen mother knows your intentions, don't worry, although the queen mother and her mother are enemies, but the child is innocent, and this child is still the widow of the first emperor, the queen mother is the mother-in-law, she will take care of the child in a reasonable way, the emperor, you are busy with state affairs, go and get busy, you don't have to worry about these harem trivial matters." ”
"The queen mother is righteous, and the sons will definitely tell the ancestors and the ancestors, and the sons will leave." Li Jun said sincerely.
As soon as Li Jun came out of Changle Palace, there was a cry in the direction of Zhiluo Palace, and a generation of romantic figures Zhao Yuyan left, Li Jun sighed: "Bury Zhao Yuyan with the gift of the concubine, and accompany the burial in front of the tomb of the first emperor." ”
"The old slave obeys."
