Chapter 376: Do Huo Guang?
Li Zhongyi can be sure that Chai Rong wants to push him to the opposite side of the ministers and be a real lonely minister.
Only Lone Chen needs Chai Zongxun's full support the most. The problem is that once Chai Zongxun becomes an adult and becomes a pro-government, the best outcome for Li Zhongyi, a lonely minister, is to return to his hometown and spend his old age in peace.
If, Chai Zongxun is as ruthless as Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and regards the teacher as a stinky sock, Li Zhongyi is likely to become the second Huo Guang.
Back then, when Huo Guangquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, he had always loyally supported Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and did not usurp the throne. However, after Huo Guang's death, Emperor Xuan of Han rewarded him with beheadings all over the house, and the whole family was accused of rebellion, and there was no place to bury him.
"Li Wuyi, I know your concerns." Chai Rong suddenly sighed and said, "Your talent is extraordinary, it's just that you always want to speculate." β
Li Zhongyi almost broke out in a cold sweat, Chai Rong is worthy of being a generation of heroes, and he looks at the problem really sharply and profoundly.
Chai Rong saw that Li Zhongyi opened his mouth to explain, so he waved his hand first, and said: "Over the years, although you have made great achievements and accumulated countless money and food for the imperial court, you have always had an inexplicable worry. You are in charge of the army, and you have always been cautious, lest something go wrong. No blame, you sue sΓΉ me, what are you afraid of? β
Li Zhongyi thought to himself, can I say that after your Northern Expedition, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to Kaifeng?
"The ministers of Shu are favored by His Majesty, steal a high position, dare not be careless and cautious, and be loyal to the king." Li Zhongyi originally said the truth, so he didn't hesitate at all, and looked at Chai Rong's chest with affection.
To put it bluntly, Li Zhongyi can have today's status and power. really relied on Chai Rong's appreciation and reuse of him.
Li Zhongyi is less than thirty years old, and his title is already the prince of the county. The official position has the right to know the affairs of Kaifeng, and he is the teacher of the prince. The smooth career and the speed of soaring are simply outrageous!
If you are an ordinary person, you should be content a long time ago!
Perhaps perceiving Li Zhongyi's gratitude, Chai Rong said with a straight face: "If the jade is not cut, you will do it yourself." β
When Li Zhongyi heard this, he understood in his heart that it was time for him to leave.
After returning to Qingshou Palace, Li Zhongyi sat alone on the side of the hall. Looking out the window at the prosperity, my heart couldn't help but fluctuate.
Chai Rong is about to go on the Northern Expedition, and since the late Tang Dynasty, the most magnificent new chapter has officially opened.
In this Northern Expedition, if nothing else, Chai Rong will recapture the land of Yannan Prefecture and Sanguan from the hands of the Khitans, and defend the Central Plains Dynasty against the grassland peoples. Hundreds of miles forward.
It's a pity that on the way to the Northern Expedition, Chai Rong suddenly fell seriously ill and was forced to return south. Died in the palace of Kaifeng City.
History has no assumptions, but Li Zhongyi still feels a little regretful. If Chai Rong doesn't die. In addition, the Khitans are in the dilemma of civil strife, and the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. It is definitely possible to return to the embrace of the Celestial Empire in Middle-earth.
Chai Rong went on the expedition, but Li Zhongyi wanted to stay in Kaifeng. With Chai Zongxun and supervising the country, there must be no hope for greater military achievements.
At this moment, Chai Zongxun's scream suddenly came from the side hall, "It's so cold, it's cold." β
The eunuchs and palace maids in the hall hurriedly ran to the bedside, wanting to cover Chai Zongxun with a quilt.
Li Zhongyi shouted sharply: "Stop me, do you want to kill His Royal Highness King Liang?" β
For a while, the eunuch and the palace maid looked at each other, and they turned their heads to look at Li Zhongyi, who had a cold face, but they didn't know what to do.
"Get out of the way." Li Zhongyi slowly paced to the side of the bed, and the eunuchs and palace maids knew that he had won the purple and gold waist card and was a big celebrity in His Majesty's mind, so everyone stepped back and gave way to the passage.
Li Zhongyi walked to the side of the bed, Chai Zongxun curled up his small body, trembling as if he was sifting chaff, his face was pale, and the pain was abnormal.
In an instant, Li Zhongyi only felt that there was a flower in front of him, as if it was his very naughty son, Li Han, who was shrinking into bed and suffering.
When Li Han was a child, he didn't sleep honestly, and he always liked to kick the quilt and draw a "map" on the bed.
It's not easy to be a parent, Li Zhongyi and his family, in the years when Li Han was young, he worked during the day, and it was difficult to sleep well at night, often with dark circles under his eyes.
Li Zhongyi touched Chai Zongxun's forehead, well, it was cold, it seemed that this child had indeed suffered a lot.
Malaria, in fact, the most taboo is to lie still, even if the body is weak and the limbs are numb, and every day you have to go to the ground and insist on moving.
Malaria is a parastasis, not a so-called cold or fever. The activity of the insect is always intermittent, and no matter how much clothing the patient wears or strips naked, it has no effect.
Conversely, when it is cold, if you do some necessary warm-up exercises, it can help to combat the two extremes of malaria.
Of course, Li Zhongyi also has a means to temporarily control the frequent malaria worms, which is acupuncture.
To put it bluntly, it is to use the special technique of acupuncture to suppress the frequency of insect abuse. In ancient Chinese medicine, malaria was indeed only seen on the surface, but not at its source, and there was no specific medicine for the symptoms, and the mortality rate of malaria patients was alarmingly high.
"Fetch the silver needle." Li Zhongyi turned his head and ordered Xiao Qizi, the personal attendant who had been guarding Chai Zongxun's side.
Xiao Qizi had tears in his eyes, nodded and agreed, he quickly ran to the table and took the silver needle for the imperial doctor in the palace.
Li Zhongyi took the needle box and opened it to take a look, well, the types of needles are very complete.
"Take the shochu, the stronger the better." Li Zhongyi gave various orders without stopping, "A few of you come over and help me roll up His Highness's shirt under my shoulders." β
"What are you guys doing? Open the doors and windows...... Li Zhongyi raised his hand and pointed at a few beautiful palace maids, and unceremoniously pointed them around.
After a qiΔ was ready, Li Zhongyi put the silver needle in his hand to the candle flame and roasted it for a while.
After Li Zhongyi sterilized the silver needles, the attendants had already taken off Chai Zongxun's shirt, and his hands were sick, and he quickly pierced eight long silver needles on Chai Zongxun's back, corresponding to the area where malaria worms were active.
Twisting, kneading, rubbing, accompanied by very hard massage, Li Zhongyi's forehead gradually saw sweat.
At this time, Li Zhongyi's nose suddenly smelled the fragrance of women's fat powder, and then, a snow-white and delicate little hand, pinching a fragrant handkerchief, took the initiative to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead for him.
Li Zhongyi subconsciously looked sideways, but saw that it was a beautiful female officer in red with red lips and white teeth who wiped his sweat for him.
"Thank you." Li Zhongyi secretly wondered in his heart, this beautiful female official is so bold that she is actually close to the minister in front of everyone?
"Didn't bother Mr. Before Li Zhongyi could change his mind, he heard a crisp and pleasant female voice coming from the entrance of the hall.
Li Zhongyi turned around slowly, but saw that Concubine Fu, who was not inferior to Fei Meiniang in appearance, was standing not far away. (To be continued......)
