Chapter 250: Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet
At this moment, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Xing had already gone to Mengjin to study, and Ruyi also accompanied her younger brother to complete her unfinished studies. Therefore, when the government doctor came to diagnose and treat Yan's, it was Lu Bu himself who accompanied him.
However, a dry of female waiters were frightened, and they could only stay outside the palace to do anxiously, if the queen was ill, they who were responsible for eating and living would not be able to escape the involvement.
The house doctor closed his eyes slightly, his face was unfathomable, a wisp of goat's whiskers was beating slightly, his expression was sometimes dignified, sometimes confused, which made people feel very anxious, and he only saw that Lu Bu wanted to go up and give him a few kicks.
"How is it, where is the Queen?" Lu Bu finally couldn't help but ask.
Yan Xiuli only fainted for a short time, but at this time she had returned to her normal situation, and she didn't seem to have anything wrong, and said with a gentle smile: "King Jin, don't be embarrassed by Doctor Zhang, the concubine is in good health, and she may just be a little tired just now." ”
"The queen's pulse is urgent but unstable, slippery but not smooth, full of qi and blood and qi is lacking, and her complexion is no different from ordinary people, this symptom is really strange." Doctor Zhang, the provincial doctor, looked confused.
"You're saying something I can understand, what's the problem?" Lu Bu was a little anxious.
"Does the queen have any other symptoms lately?" Dr. Zhang didn't pay attention to Lu Bu's criticism, he had been in the mansion for many years, and he had long known Lu Bu's temperament, and knew that it was important to ask the cause of the disease as soon as possible.
"Recently, I may have some wind chills, and I often have headaches and nasal congestion." Yan Xiuli recalled that she had often felt unwell recently, but she didn't care about it at the time, and now that she thought about it, it should have been a sign for a long time.
"Do you feel sleepy and powerless?" Dr. Zhang asked.
"Yes."
"Can you be anorexic and have stomach acid?"
"This..."Yan Xiuli finally understood a little, remembering that her monthly letter had been delayed for nearly two months, and at that time she thought it was caused by too much hard work, but now it seems that she is afraid that she is afraid that she has something else.
Doctor Zhang saw Yan Xiuli's surprised expression, and immediately hugged his fists to congratulate: "Congratulations to King Jin for adding another new joy." ”
Lu Bu couldn't react, and asked suspiciously, "Where does the joy come from?" ”
"Stupid, you're going to be a father again." Yan Xiuli covered her mouth and chuckled, only in her eyes, she was already full of joy.
Lu Bu suddenly realized, and immediately laughed heartily: "Okay, good..." said that he was a little choked, you must know that his husband and wife have been wanting to have another child for many years, but since Yan Xiuli Luoyang suffered, after suffering and giving birth to Lu Xing, he suffered a physical deficit, so he didn't come out for many years, even after years of hard work, after all, he couldn't ask for it, and at this moment he actually reaped an unexpected joy, how could he not make his husband and wife ecstatic.
"King Jin don't be happy too early, although the queen is happy to have a pulse, but the pulse is slippery and unstable, it is a sign of unstable fetal fetus, the risk is especially large, it is very easy to have the risk of slippery fetal premature birth, to look at it humbly, the queen still needs to give birth to a good baby, and it is no longer good to work hard."
Dr. Zhang's words made Lu Bu suddenly feel excited, although his wife looks young, she can already be regarded as an advanced maternal age in terms of childbearing age, and now she is unexpectedly pregnant, coupled with congenital deficiencies, whether she is happy or sad is still in two words. The joy just now was suddenly swept away, and then I remembered that with today's medical conditions, every time I gave birth, it was like a ghost door was closed, and normal production was still like this, not to mention that the tire gas was unstable, and it must be a lot of hardships after that.
Lu Bu can't bear to suffer like this kind of suffering for his wife again, in case of misfortune, who else in this world can take care of his heart? In his heart, he finally said in a deep voice: "Madam, we already have a pair of handsome and beautiful children, and God treats me Lu Bu well." Since this kid isn't safe, it's better to..."
Yan Xiuli and his husband and wife for many years have long been in the same mind, knowing the worry in his heart at the moment, he interrupted: "King Jin, don't say it, since God has given me this opportunity, I will not give up, and I will definitely give birth to this child safely." ”
The decisiveness between his wife's words was something Lu Bu had never seen, and he had no doubt about Yan Xiuli's determination.
"King Jin don't worry, I will first open a pair of adopted son soup for the queen, and I will definitely make the fetal position sit upright, just need to rest and recuperate too much, it shouldn't be a big problem." Dr. Zhang played his role at the right time.
Lu Bu's heart finally settled down a little, since there was no big problem, adding another child was also what he wanted, and immediately instructed Yan Xiuli: "In the future, you are not allowed to run around on horseback, just give birth to a baby in the house." ”
"The concubine is disrespectful, but she still has to ask the prime minister to resign from the position of secretary." Yan Xiuli saw that her husband had a change of heart, and she also let go of a hanging heart.
The next day, early in the morning, at the palace court meeting, Lu Bu announced in public that Yan was unwell and was temporarily removed from the post of secretary and ordered by Wang Ji, who returned from Luoyang.
Lu Bu did not say the real reason, because this child is unstable, and he is in the center of a political whirlpool, there are really many dangers that are difficult to guard against, more things are better than less things, and the fewer people who know about this matter, the better.
And at this moment in the suburbs of Luoyang is another scene, although the heavy snow has stopped, but the snow accumulated over the past few days, or spread a thick layer, the mountains and fields are dyed silver, the early spring sun shines down, and finally there is a trace of warmth, the white snow, reflecting the dazzling brilliance in the sun.
In the snow, small snow packs are like hills, scattered along the river, which is the army barracks of Gao Shun stationed outside the city to guard Luoyang.
This is Yi County on the outskirts of Luoyang, which was previously Dong Zhuo's fiefdom, and it is also the place where Lu Bu once broke Dong Zhuo. There was originally a small river, one of the many tributaries of the Yellow River system, and the river was so flooded that the barracks were stationed here to facilitate the use of water.
In the early spring sun, the ice and snow gradually melted, and most of the thick ice on the river surface has disappeared at this moment, only the two thin ice wings on the banks of the river on both sides are still left, accompanied by the crystal clear water flowing slowly.
All the melting snow is concentrated in the river, making the river much higher than usual.
A few wild ducks float happily in it, fluttering on the calm flowing water, sometimes preying on small fish that swim in the water.
Several patrolmen marched along the river, vigilantly checking the surrounding situation, since the battle with Ma Chao, the two sides have fought in the ice and snow several times, but the strength of the Xiliang army is several times that of the Luoyang defenders, the army can only retreat again and again, has retreated from Hongnong, Chi Rope and other areas to here, behind him is Luoyang City, and then defeated everyone can only stick to the city, do the turtle in the urn.
"Look, I've picked up something!" A patrolman who had fallen behind shouted happily.
Everyone turned around, only to see that he was carrying three or four ducks in his left and right hands, each of which was fat enough, and he took off his fur and internal organs.
"Foodie! Good duck, what do you do to kill it, what if it is fed by nearby villagers, what a sin. ”
The duck tilted its head with its eyes closed, its wings hanging motionless, and it was obvious that it had been dead for a long time, and the corpse was stiff. The feathers were soaked in the river water, but they didn't look scarred.
"I didn't kill it, it was originally dead, I picked it up from the river. Besides, how can there be captive ducks in this wilderness? The patrol hurriedly defended himself, and the embezzlement and forcible seizure of people's property was an extremely serious matter in Lu Bu's military regulations, and it was impossible to be careless by imposing a military staff or expelling from the army.
"That's good, since it's an ownerless thing, then bring it back and let Master Niu San add food to us."
"Captain Wise!"
"Captain mighty!"
"Captain, awesome!"
Several patrolmen were overjoyed, and for a time they sang praises of merit.
Since the beginning of the year, Lu Bu has been well aware of the economic downturn and the national treasury reserves are less than one day a day, so he advocated the practice of thrift among the whole people, and the army also issued an order calling on the whole army to reduce food and clothing to tide over the difficulties together.
Therefore, the army has not seen meat for several days, you must know that the army is full of young men, this is not allowed to drink, but a few days without eating meat, even walking feels like gold in the eyes, no half of spirit, no wonder several times lost to horse thieves, countless soldiers attributed the reason for the defeat of the army to the fact that the court does not give meat to eat.
"Don't be too happy too early, since it's a wild duck, it won't drown for no reason, let me see if there's anything wrong with it, in case it's a sick and dead duck, then it's not edible."
Most of these soldiers were farmers, and it was common for them to feed some chickens and ducks, and it was not too difficult for someone to be able to tell whether the chickens and ducks were sick or dead.
After some inspection, the captain's expression suddenly changed greatly, and he said, "Where did you pick up these dead ducks?" ”
"It's right behind, you see where there are two more, I can't take them." The soldier said, pointing to the riverbank not far behind.
Sure enough, there were two mallard ducks on the bank of the river not far away, and even in the river, in addition to the mallards playing in the water, there were some motionless ducks floating, apparently dead.
At this time, everyone finally realized that something was wrong, and hurried to the riverbank to check.
"Captain, look, the fish in the river are dead!"
Everyone was frightened, only to see that in the river, the corpses of some large and small fish and shrimp were floating among the dead grass on the river bank, and the flowing river water could not wash away their corpses.
"Someone poisoned the water!" The captain said in a deep voice.
"Wow..."
"Then let's go and tell the general, if this water is eaten by mistake, it will be bad."
"It's too late, now it's time to eat, the army must use the river water here to make food, look at the death time of these fish, shrimp and ducks, it just coincides with the time when the army fetches water to make food, the river water is living water, and the poisoned person must have calculated the poisoning time. It will take a lot of time to report to the general, and now the only way to do this is to go to the place where the soldiers are not edible, and it is not too late to eat it after finding out whether it is poisonous. ”
"But it's a big sin not to report it!"
The captain groaned, gritted his teeth, and said: "You go and report to General Wang, just say that someone has poisoned the water in advance, and ask him to come and preside over the overall situation." The rest of the men followed me to the rear camp to prevent the army from being fed. ”
It is a capital crime to do things privately without a military order, and the captain's actions are undoubtedly desperate, in case the meal is not poisonous, he will disturb the morale of the army and his life will not be guaranteed.
But the captain can't care so much, if he is not poisoned, he may die by himself, but if it is poisoned, no one will be spared from the 20,000 brothers who came with him, no matter what, he has to fight, there is no worthiness or not, only willingness and unwillingness.
Everyone went their own way, and the captain led the patrol members to the back camp quickly, and saw that the soldiers of each battalion were lining up, hip-hopping and pushing each other, but it was not yet time to put food, so everyone was still waiting.
The soldiers in the front row were already waiting impatiently, and the sound of knocking the bowl with chopsticks urged the cooking soldiers to hurry up and eat.
"What kind of delicacies from the mountains and seas, it's so grand, isn't it just a few pieces of rotten vegetable porridge?"
When the soldiers in the back row heard that it was millet and green vegetable porridge again, they were immediately unhappy, and countless people knocked on the dishes and chopsticks to echo and coax, and some even scolded.
"Damn, Lao Tzu is working hard with his head, and he eats this for Lao Tzu every day? Don't fucking eat it! ”
Countless people queuing up to eat immediately echoed, which made the patrol team and others who came to stop the meal at a loss.
This is already the case, and if the soldiers know that the food may be poisonous, they are afraid that the situation will be even more difficult to control.
At this time, a majestic and loud voice sounded: "Who doesn't want to eat anymore?" ”
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see the people who came, dressed in battle armor neatly shiny, and not angry and arrogant between their eyebrows, it was the newly appointed general Gao Linghou Gao Shun.
Although Gao Shun is not the old governor of Luoyang, but his name has long been spread in the army, as the number one general under the King of Jin, Gao Shun's resume can be said to be extremely prominent, and even once held the land of two states, commanding an army of 100,000 governors.
Therefore, as soon as Gao Shun came, all the coaxing generals suddenly lost their courage, and they all lowered their heads like frosted eggplants.
"I know you're suffering, but do you know? King Jin hasn't eaten meat for two months, do you think it's still more expensive than King Jin? Now is an extraordinary period, since we want to be clothed and fed, we should be in the same boat, and the King of Jin to get through the current difficulties, think about our once big fish and meat life, the court and the King of Jin have treated you badly, can be rich and noble but do not want to share the hardships, is this the loyalty in your mouth? ”
The troublemakers couldn't help but bow their heads in shame at this time, although there was less meat recently, but the rice porridge was full, and they never said that they were hungry, which was much stronger than the Xiliang soldiers in the enemy camp.
The barracks of the two armies are not far from each other, and the scouts often spy on each other, and everyone knows that the Xiliang soldiers only eat one meal a day, and they feel pitiful when they think about it, but they are such soldiers, and everyone can't win, and it's no wonder that the generals scolded them for rice buckets when they were angry.
Gao Shun saw that these arrogant soldiers were finally suppressed by himself, and he couldn't help but deeply admire the domineering spirit in his body. The day before yesterday, he received a report that the soldiers in the army would have a lot of complaints about eating vegetarian food all day, so Gao Shun came specially at dinner time to see the situation in the camp.
Although this Luoyang is far less comfortable than Jizhou, where is it not to contribute to the prince, and now that the prince is the king of Jin, he should do everything himself and be cautious. When Gao Shun was in Jizhou, he deeply felt that the power in his hands was too heavy, and there were few high-ranking people in ancient times who could die well, so Gao Shun had resigned several times.
This time he came to Luoyang, although he seemed to have been wronged and lacked military power, Gao Shun still felt fortunate in his heart. Lu Bu helped intentionally or unintentionally, so that he clearly knew that the heart of the prince was still towards him, otherwise he would not have transferred the entire formation of the 8,000 trap camp participating in the parade to Luoyang, and also let himself be in command.
These soldiers screamed after eating a few vegetarian meals, thinking that they couldn't eat a full meal for three days when they were in the border areas of the state, and they couldn't think of such a life for the New Year, and they deserved to be taught a lesson.
"Open the meal!" Gao Shun took out a bowl from his sleeve and stretched it out in front of the rice cook.
The general is going to eat with the soldiers!
