Volume 2 Northland Horror Dragon Chapter 66 Poison Pill
The Tang Dynasty had constant disputes between the North Division and the South Ya, but since the change of the nectar, the North Division overwhelmed the South Ya, and many prime ministers could only make friends with the eunuchs, such as Li Deyu, the former prime minister of the dynasty, who worked with Yang Qinyi and gave him gold and silver wealth, and later Yang Qinyi served as a privy envoy, so he reciprocated the favor and recommended him to Wuzong as the prime minister.
The power of the Inner Servant Province is so great that the Provincial Governor of the Temple can only rely on people's breath.
The four nobles have a prominent status, and they no longer have to wait for the emperor at any time, and some of them have built their private residences in the southern city of Chang'an, which is proof.
If eunuchs can establish a mansion in the outer city, they will generally choose the northeast corner of Chang'an City, which is very close to Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace.
Those who are on errand in Yeting Palace are selected in the northwest corner of Chang'an, which is convenient for travel.
Being able to build a private residence in Nancheng means that you don't have to be on call, and the relationship with the emperor is no longer an ordinary master-servant!
There are two personal eunuchs who serve the emperor, one is the inner servant Wang Guichang who just went out to spread the word, who is good at dancing and writing and making ink, and some poets are talented, and they take the path of civil officials.
One is like the five guards around the emperor, born in the general's door, skilled in saddle horses, proficient in the art of war, and later worked hard to serve as the left and right lieutenants of the Shence Army.
The medical officer of the Imperial Decree and the Provincial Medicine Bureau in the palace are all in Daming Palace, and it takes a lot of time to summon them.
The emperor went in to see his son, and Liu Jieyu naturally followed.
The evening ingale also went in to wait, Guo Hong was left outside, and two of the five guards were left to guard the door, including Wang Zongshi, who taught Guo Hong and others the day before yesterday.
It's already afternoon in the summer heat, and the cicadas in the trees are chirping non-stop.
In addition to them, there were several envoys in the courtyard, some who came with the emperor, and some who waited for Liu Jieyu in the courtyard.
Guizhen Courtyard is just a place for Liu Jieyu to cultivate, Liu Jieyu likes to be quiet, there are not many maids to follow around, there were originally four, but the first goose was captured, and now there are only three left.
The other two maids were not in the courtyard at this time, and went to the Inner Chamberlain Province to receive money, food, and medicine.
So no one cares about Guo Hong.
He saw that on the wall of the apse there was a sticky pole, so he went over and took it, and went to stick it to the tree.
This is a miscellaneous work in the palace and has always been done by the envoys.
During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a special sticky rod, and I don't know how it became a blood droplet later......
Guo Hong's eyes were quick, and he quickly stuck a few of them, and put them in the basket, which can be fried and eaten.
The little envoys who were waiting for the emperor and Jieyu around all looked at each other, very tempted, they didn't have such a big ability, and they were sticky.
Knowing that the voice was much quieter, the emperor also found out inside, and talked to Liu Jieyu with a smile, Guo Hong's ears were sharp, and he seemed to hear that he was talking about himself.
He now knew that he was high enough, so he moved a ladder and set it up on a tree, and climbed it himself.
Two more sticked, and the basket was on the ground, and he seemed to be troublesome, so he held the one he had just caught in one hand, and the other hand held the pole and continued to glue.
One of them stuck a few times and couldn't reach it, Guo Hong stood on tiptoe, not wanting the ladder to be unstable, the whole person fell down, and the pole was smashing towards Wang Zongshi!
The man reacted so quickly that he raised his hand to catch the pole.
Guo Hong fell to the ground at this time, rolled around, and came to his side.
Wang Zongshi smiled and wanted to reach out and pull Guo Hong.
As soon as the hands of the two of them touched, there was a soft sound.
Wang Zongshi shook his hand, jumped to the side, and hit the pillar with a bang.
Guo Hong looked up and saw that he was not electrocuted, but just shook his hand and kept inhaling cold air in his mouth.
Inside, the emperor heard the voice and asked, "Wang Zongshi, what kind of fame are you doing?" Wang Zongshi hurriedly went in to salute the emperor and said: "Li Xiaoenvoy knew that he had fallen from the tree, and the slave maid pulled him, not wanting to touch Liuding Liujia to take the fugue, and the slave and maid hit the pillar and made a sound, which disturbed Your Majesty!" ”
Since the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there have been records about static electricity, and in the Tang Dynasty, Daomen called static electricity Liuding Liujia iQue.
Han Yu has a poem: "The immortal official is six dings, and the thunder and lightning will take the general." ”
And it is believed that Liujia is yang and Liuding is yin, so being pregnant with a child is called carrying Liujia, which means that a boy will be born.
Wang Zongshi said that he was hit by static electricity, which is very common in winter.
In the "Naturalist Chronicles" written by Zhang Hua in the Western Jin Dynasty, it is recorded: "When people comb their hair and take off their clothes, there are those who comb and untie the knots and have light, and there are also voices. ”
This means that when you comb your hair and put on and take off your clothes, you often have frictional electricity, and sometimes you can see small sparks and hear faint sounds.
Although it is summer, the people involved do not understand the principle and do not care.
The emperor smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "It seems that this Guizhen Courtyard is really effective, and my son is also blessed, even with the Ding Jia God guarding his side, he will inevitably turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious." ”
Liu Jieyu also frowned slightly when she heard this, and said: "Originally, there was none, Your Majesty came here today, it seems that you still came with the holy car." ”
The emperor laughed and said, "Jieyu really can talk. ”
Liu Jieyu said again: "It's also my little envoy who has some ability, he actually saw that someone was poisoning, if it is verified later, please ask Your Majesty to be the master of the concubine!" ”
The emperor nodded and said, "This is natural. Xiao'er is my son no matter what, and no one else will be allowed to harm her! ”
While speaking, the medical edict of the Hanlin Academy and the medical officer of the Provincial Medicine Bureau in the palace have arrived, and the emperor has passed on the edict first.
The Hanlin Academy in the Tang Dynasty was a hodgepodge, in addition to having a bachelor of literature like the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were also doctors and chess scholars, all of whom were born from good families.
There are several sources of medical officers in the palace, one is the medical students trained by the Imperial Medical Department every year, one is the middle of the medical examination, the other is the medical worker trained by the monastery and Taoism, and finally the best in the family of medical workers.
During the Han Dynasty, the status of medical households, merchants, Wubu, 100 craftsmen, and Lefang households was lower than that of the Liangjiazi, and they belonged to the household registration strictly controlled by the imperial court, which was called the lowly family, and their children had no special reason to pass it on from generation to generation, and even the place of residence in the city was demarcated by the government.
This continued until the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
In the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a great loosening of the household registration system, the imperial court no longer controlled the residence, and the lowly nationality could spend money to promote the good nationality, but also had to bear the obligation to pay taxes.
Wealthy families such as merchants and doctors have all turned into good families, and only the poorer class still retains lowly status.
However, at this time, the status of doctors was far less high than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the imperial court stipulated that those who were born in medical skills were not allowed to pass the five grades.
The real mastery of medical skills is still those Taoist priests and medical families who have practiced medicine for generations.
These medical workers have no virtue, and they are as profit-seeking as merchants, and the scholars look down on them.
However, scholars like to study medical skills, but they are not taught seriously, and their level is half-baked.
Liu Yuxi has studied medical skills all his life, and he can't even know the pulse!
Wang Tao, who was touted as a medical scientist by later generations, can only moxibustion, not acupuncture, "The Secret of the Outer Stage" is a plagiarized work of Dongping Xicuo, which was criticized by the people of the time.
Therefore, there is a saying in the Book of Rites that "the doctor does not take the medicine".
The skills of the medical family are not passed down, and if their children have a big name, they will be hired by the Ministry of Rites to become officials in the court.
There are many good families who also like medicine, so they learn from Taoist priests and monks, and then go to recruit Hanlin, if they can be selected, they will become doctors.
"Ministers Li Xuanbo and Han Zongwei see Your Majesty!"
Li Xuanbo, a middle-aged man in his forties, brought a young man in his thirties, and the two of them came in to pay respects.
The emperor said, "Look at the dregs in this bowl, can there be alchemy in it?" ”
Li Xuanbo and Han Zongwei examined carefully, discussed in a whisper, and then reported back: "There are indeed remnants of gold and mercury." ”
"Let's go down."
"Your Majesty, the ministers are retiring."
The two retreated.
The guards escorted the medic in.
"Zhang Xuanzi greets Your Majesty!" The medical officer fell to his knees, not daring to look up.
He was born as a medical student, responsible for treating people in the palace, and was subordinate to the Provincial Medicine Bureau in the palace, and his position was a medical assistant under the nine products.
The emperor glanced at him and exclaimed, "What kind of medicine are you prescribing?!" ”
Zhang Xuanzi saw the bowl of medicine residue on the ground, trembled, and said, "It's none of the minister's business, this is not the medicine I prescribed!" Since the death of the first emperor, many people in the forbidden world know the formula of this elixir! ”
The emperor's face changed, as if he was aroused, and said angrily: "Who is it then?" ”
"It must be a medicine boy!"
"Where are the others?"
"Your Majesty, someone went to summon him just now, and the minister wanted to find the medicine boy to come with him, and he didn't want him to hang himself in the room!"
The emperor sent Song Shanggong to check on the medicine boy who hanged herself, and to find out who wanted to use the poison pill to harm the prince.
After testing, Guo Hong found that Wang Zongshi was able to withstand his electric shock, and his actions were basically unaffected.
Although he can still increase the power, that kind of attack can only be carried out a few times, which is not enough to subdue everyone present.
He roughly understood the abilities of these guards, and secretly pondered in his heart.
The martial arts are good, they don't know how to do internal strength, and they are more resistant to electricity...... One or two is fine, five is a bit much, and you can't get out of it for a while if you are entangled, and it is best not to alarm these people in the future.
In the evening, the emperor stayed at Liu Jieyu's place, and the evening ingreale was very happy, according to her, for the first time this year.
Guo Hong went back to the Yeting Palace at night to sleep, there was no place for him to sleep.
Liu Jieyu temporarily lived in Guizhen Courtyard and did not return to Daming Palace, so he had no choice, it seems that he can only have a chance if he cures Li Wei first.
When I came back the next morning, I learned that the emperor had returned to Daming Palace before dawn.
Guo Hong was doing chores in Guizhen Courtyard like this, Li Xiao's illness was not his turn to diagnose and treat, the emperor asked the doctors of Hanlin Academy to prescribe medicine, Li Xuanbo and Han Zongwei naturally did their best, and after a few doses of medicine, they improved.
Liu Jieyu's complexion is also much better, and the more she looks at Guo Hong, the more pleasing she becomes, and she often chats with him.
Guo Hong's Taoism is profound, and he is very close to Liu Jieyu, who is a devout believer, and the two have become Taoist friends who have forgotten their years while talking.
Liu Jieyu asked him how he knew so much, and he deduced that it was passed on by a stranger.
Soon even the emperor knew about it, and he also looked at Guo Hong differently, and Taoist priests in the palace often passed him over.
After Wang Zongshi went through that trip, he thought that Guo Hong was Li Jingchao and was good to him, and when he saw that he didn't care, he reminded: "Your Majesty let you have more contact with these Taoist priests, although they are just observers, they also have the meaning of cultivation, and you must know that the meritorious envoys in charge of the two Buddhist paths must be proficient in the true meaning." ”
Guo Hong was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine that the emperor still wanted to cultivate him and wait for him to grow up in the future before he was vigorously promoted.
The problem is that he's an impostor.
It made him laugh and cry a little.
