Seventy-nine, dystocia

Jiang Chong told Liu Che about how Gongsun Jingsheng had an affair with Princess Yangshi and how he buried Gu and cursed the emperor under the gallop. Liu Che was very angry after hearing this, and ordered Jiang Chong to investigate the matter thoroughly, Jiang Chong excavated Gu things in the section of the galloping road opposite the temple on the three-way road in Yangling, and he really dug it out. I saw a paulownia man buried in the road, wearing the emperor's costume, which read: Yi Younian, Jia Shen Yue, Ji Si was born on the day, it is Liu Che's birthday, and the paulownia man is full of silver needles all over his body, like a hedgehog.

In this way, what Zhu Anshi said is true, Gongsun Jingsheng is indeed burying Gu and cursing the emperor, and it is also buried under the Chi Road, you must know that the Chi Road is the emperor's special road, and it is buried in the Chi Road that is not clear to curse the emperor, and it is the emperor's birthday that is written on it.

Everyone thinks it's strange why it says that Liu Che's birthday is only six characters of year, month and day, instead of eight characters of year, month and day, and it is said that there are eight characters of birthday. In fact, the eight characters of the birth date are the eight characters of the birth of Xu Ziping, the master of astrology in the Northern Song Dynasty, on the basis of the six characters of the birth of the predecessors, that is, the two characters of the column will become the eight characters when the time is added, and it is said that such a fortune-telling method will be more accurate.

This is all the evidence and material evidence, originally embezzled public funds, and fornicated with the princess These are just Gongsun Jingsheng's crimes, not as good as Gongsun He's whole family, but if he curses the emperor, the whole family will be sentenced to death. So Liu Che issued an edict to arrest Gongsun He's whole family, Shi Zai, in the spring of the second year of Zhenghe, Gongsun He's father and son were imprisoned, the investigation was true, the father and son were executed in prison, and the whole family was beheaded.

Gongsun He is estimated to be old and confused, he has been the prime minister for many years, he should be scheming, or he is eager to save his son, or he doesn't know that his son will do so many rebellious things. Yangling Daxia is captured by you, he will definitely do something to break the net, even if Yangling Daxia doesn't know so many rebellious things about Gongsun Jingsheng, then Guo Tao must know, if Yangling Daxia doesn't do fish and die and break the net, Guo Tao will do it, because he knows that Gongsun Jingsheng has too many bad things, therefore, Gongsun He's move is undoubtedly to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot, so that his whole clan will be beheaded.

The most innocent are Wei Yan and Princess Zhuyi, the hard-working cousins were also killed, and the unlucky Princess Yangshi, who had a private meeting with Gongsun Jingsheng because of the lingering relationship, was also sentenced to death, it can be seen that Liu Che is really ruthless, and his two daughters will not let go, and he is also the first emperor to kill his daughter.

After Gongsun He was executed, the position of prime minister was vacant, so Liu Che issued an edict to appoint Liu Quyu, the Taishou of Zhuo County, as the left prime minister, divided the prime minister's long history into two prefectures, and waited for the sage to appoint the right prime minister, and gave the 2,200 households in Pengdi to the left prime minister Liu Quyu as the marquis of Peng.

The witch Gu case of Gongsun He's father and son has come to an end for the time being, but it does not mean that the witch curse has subsided, but it has just begun.

Yi Susu often goes to the palace to help those concubines treat their diseases, but not every concubine calls her to treat her illness, because there are indeed many female relatives in the palace, and there are very few female doctors with superb medical skills like Yi Susu, so what should I do? In fact, when many concubines and palace maids are sick, they are willing to ask witches to cure them. Is there any mistake, Guiwei is a concubine in the palace and invites a witch to heal the disease? Yes, in the society of the time. Invite witches not only to heal the sick and avoid disasters, but also to curse their enemies with disgust, because the palace is a place of right and wrong, and women are often jealous of each other.

In fact, Yi Susu has long discovered this problem, every time she enters the palace, she often encounters those who pretend to be female doctors but are actually witches in and out of the palace, they are helping those concubines and palace maids how to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters, how to curse opponents and so on. Of course, the method used must have props, curses, and rituals, and these three things are the three elements of witchcraft, and they are indispensable.

Does Liu Che care about these witch Gu things that are popular in the palace? In fact, at that time, the society regarded these witch things as normal things, very popular, from high-ranking officials and nobles, down to ordinary people, they all believed in these things, even Empress Wei and Prince Wei also believed in this, they were looking for a female doctor Chu Feng to treat diseases, although Chu Feng was a female doctor, she was actually a witch.

But every time there is a fight between the ladies of these harems, they will expose the other party's curse, and the object of the curse depends on who it is, and some people with ulterior motives say that it is a curse to the current emperor, and the nature is very different.

It seems that accusing the other party of cursing the emperor is an extremely vicious and effective method, and whenever Liu Che hears this, he does not hesitate to issue an edict, and there is no forgiveness for killing. So in the first few months of the second year of Zhenghe alone, there were as many as a few hundred concubines and palace maids and officials who were implicated because of witchcraft, and the prelude to the vigorous witchcraft was about to begin.

After talking about the witch chaos in the palace for so long, let's talk about the witch chaos in the slums of East City.

Lear and Hu Group in Xiangjia Lane, Dongshi, still use Mao Junshu to treat others as usual. At this time, Hu Group was already pregnant and ready to give birth, but there were indeed many patients, and she had to come over to help every day, probably because she was too tired, and she actually fell ill, which was a danger signal, and the plague was still epidemic at that time.

The next morning, when Hu Group got up, he felt dizzy and weak, and after a while, his stomach began to ache, and Yang Water began to flow below, Yang Water is the ancient name of amniotic fluid, Hu Group knew that he was going to give birth, so he called Lear loudly and asked him to hurry up and find Wen Po to come and deliver the baby.

There is no stable woman near Xiangjia Lane, what should I do? Lear asked the princess next door, and the princess told him that he needed to go to the crossbridge at the kitchen gate, so Lear asked the princess to help take care of Hu Gu, and he ran to call Wenpo to come over.

It is estimated that Hu Group has wind fever, or she is relatively short, anyway, she has not been born successfully after tossing for a morning, and she is sweating profusely, Hu Group is also sweating profusely, and she almost fainted, and she was not born until noon. At this time, both the Hu group and the baby are already dying, you must know that in the medical conditions at that time, the rate of natural delivery is very low, and the probability of both mother and child being safe is even lower.

The exhausted Wen Po called Lear over and said to him breathlessly: "I have tried my best, because my mother is sick, and the yang water has long been gone, causing the baby to have a difficult birth, and now I dare not guarantee whether the mother and child will survive safely." ”

Lear was dumbfounded when he heard this, and hurriedly begged with tears: "Mother-in-law, you can find a way to save my mother and child." ”

Wen Po glanced at Lear and said to him solemnly, "Do you believe in medical skills?" ”

Lil was a wizard, he believed in witchcraft and witch doctors, and at this time it was already a matter of human life, and he couldn't care so much, so he nodded and said, "Believe, as long as you can save my mother and child, I believe it." ”

Wen Po pointed to the southwest direction and said: "There is a Boji medical hall on the side of Yongmen on Xiyin Street, there is a female doctor named Yi Susu, who specializes in treating women's diseases, and she often goes into the palace to help the ladies treat diseases, if you believe in medicine, you will immediately invite her to come over." ”

As soon as Lear heard that it was Yongmen's side, he wanted to run over, but Wen Po hurriedly shouted at him: "It's too late to run, hire a carriage to go over, hurry up, otherwise it's too late." ”

So Lear hired a carriage and went straight to Yongmen.

When Yi Susu heard that it was a difficult birth, he immediately prepared Huang Po's secret worry-free dispersion and followed Lear to his house.

At this time, Hu Group was already dying, and the fetus had no sound. Yi Susu helped the fetus take a pulse, and found that it was already weak, and there was no pulse at all, and the Hu group still had a pulse.

Yi Susu immediately asked Lear to bring warm water and mix the Sanssouci down, and then asked Lear to help pry Hu Gu's mouth open and pour the blended Sanssophosan water into it.

After coming over for a while, I saw that Hu Gu's hands and feet were already moving. Su Su helped her take the pulse again, and found that the pulse was much stronger than before, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, so she said to Lear: "Madame is safe, but her body is weak and needs to be recuperated, you know that she is going to give birth, and let him go out to work, so that she has wind fever, which led to dystocia, and now the baby is gone, you have to take good care of Mrs. Ling, and I will prescribe a few more doses of herbs for her to recuperate." ”。

As soon as Lear heard that Hu was safe, he was so excited that he grabbed Yi Susu's hand, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Thank you Miss Susu, we will never forget your life-saving grace, and I will take good care of her." ”

So Yi Susu prescribed a dose of pungent and cool antidote, and ordered to decoction first to cure wind fever; Another dose of Wuling Powder is prescribed, including Red Poria Cocos, Ze Yuan, Wood Pig Ling, Cinnamon, Atractylodes, and Psyllium; Instructed to take it after drinking the antidote, and she will come back in three days.
