Chapter 3: Zhang Xuan's Illness

There is no other reason, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the emperor's power seemed to be supreme, but in fact, it was above the locality, but it depended on the maintenance of the local gentry. It is precisely because of the characteristics that they are officials when they go out and gentry when they retire, and they maintain the centripetal force of the local government to the emperor.

The Xia military set Guangdong, and it was too late to win over these gentry. How could they kill innocents indiscriminately like this.

Suppressing bandits back and forth is just to deter one side, and in addition to showing off their might, they also let these gentry know something good and bad. Don't go against Great Xia.

These inside information are not what ordinary people can tell Li Shaoke.

However, when Li Shaoke was about to arrive in Guangzhou City, it was lively on the river.

The recovery ability of the Chinese people is very strong, and Zhang Xuan's military discipline is good, even if Zheng's sailors occasionally make mistakes, some people will follow Zheng Chenggong. And Zheng Chenggong never showed mercy to his subordinates, killing more than a dozen people in a row, and the rest of the soldiers were all honest. Don't dare to be a little out of line.

In addition, all the reward that Zheng Chenggong got last time was given to the soldiers. The people below have money in their hands, the habits of these former pirates. Naturally, you can't save money, and in a place as big as Guangzhou, there are indispensable people who do the skin and meat business.

In addition, the previous war and chaos affected normal business activities, and after the situation settled down, they all recovered. Perhaps there is also the reason why the end of the year is approaching. Therefore, when Li Shaoke entered the city of Guangzhou, he saw a bustling scene.

The entire Guangzhou Water Gate, the ships are connected to each other, and they are lined up outside the mile. Even if their ships had the banner of Qincha, for a while, they would not be able to open the way.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the ship docked, and the governor of Guangdong and the prefect of Guangzhou immediately came to greet the group. Put them in the post station first. Li Shaoke wanted to visit Zhang Xuan in private, but was politely refused. After Li Shaoke inquired, he learned that Zhang Xuan lingered on the sickbed for a while, only handling a little official business in the morning every day, and recuperating the rest of the time. Li Shaoke wants to see Zhang Xuan, and he has to wait until tomorrow.

Li Shaoke had no choice but to secretly pray that everything would go well tomorrow.

As for the reading of the holy decree, it is necessary to prepare for a few days and choose an auspicious day for the zodiac. Summoning all the dignitaries, although some of the news in the holy decree has already been leaked out, the ceremony of reading the holy decree should be solemn.

Zhenhai Building.

Zhang Xuan seems to like Zhenhai Tower more.

I don't know if I like Zhenhai Tower to overlook the terrain of half of Guangzhou City, or I think that Zhenhai Tower is a building with military purposes after all, and it is more secure to be above Zhenhai Tower.

In short, for a long time, Zhenhai Tower was Zhang Xuan's residence.

In fact, before Li Shaoke came to Guangzhou, it was not Li Shaoke, but Li Zhengfang.

Li Zhengfang is already the imperial physician of Great Xia. After Luo Yulong learned that Zhang Xuan was sick. immediately sent Li Zhengfang over, Li Zhengfang's medical skills in Great Xia may not be the best. But he is the most trusted doctor in the upper echelons of Xia Jun.

This trust is even more important than medical skills.

Zhang Xuan lay on the bed and coughed from time to time. Li Zhengfang cut the pulse with one hand, and twisted the whiskers slightly in the jaw with the other hand. It seems to be savoring something.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help it a little and said, "Doctor Li, my illness is almost cured. You don't need to rest every day. ”

To be honest, although he has distributed a lot of things. But many things still need Zhang Xuan to make decisions. Under Li Zhengfang's compulsion, Zhang Xuan had very little time to meet with his subordinates every day. The understanding of many things is only a glimpse of it.

But Zhang Xuan knows that many things are complicated in Xinding, Guangdong. A lot of things have not been followed up, and he is actually very uneasy.

"General." Li Zhengfang and Zhang Xuan have known each other for several years, and they understand Zhang Xuan's temper, and they are not polite when they speak, and said: "There are two reasons for your illness, one is that you think too much and are too sad. The other is that the body was too short during the westward expedition. ”

"I've been using acupuncture and medication for a while, and I've almost made up for the general's body. It's just that the illness is like a mountain, and the illness is like a thread, and I hope that in the future, the general will eat modestly and live in moderation, and after half a year, he will be able to restore the old view. ”

"Since the rest is all up to you." Zhang Xuan smiled: "I don't have anything to worry about." I can't be asked to put my official duties off for half a year, that's absolutely impossible. ”

Li Zhengfang had a trace of worry in his eyes and said, "General, you have white hair. ”

Zhang Xuan listened to Li Zhengfang's words and was slightly stunned.

To be honest, Zhang Xuan hasn't cared about his appearance for a long time. Even when he was sick, he still thought about how to govern Guangdong when he had free time. Anyway, Xiaoya is responsible for these things. At this moment, as soon as he heard Li Zhengfang say, he ordered Xiaoya to hand over a mirror.

It's not a bronze mirror. It's a Western glass mirror.

Although in the folk this kind of mirror is not very popular. But in Zhang Xuan's current position, he naturally has more enjoyment than ordinary people. He took a look in the mirror. At the root of Zhang Xuan's sideburns, the new hair is mixed with black and white. There aren't many of them, that's the one that is.

But it's not a quantity that can be removed. Unless Zhang Xuan wants to pull out most of the hair on his sideburns.

Although Zhang Xuan has been raising well this month. It's long gone when I came back, and I took off the same look. But the battle of the Western Expedition still left traces on Zhang Xuan's body. Add a touch of haggard color to Zhang Xuan's handsome face. Plus this strand of gray hair. There is a temperament similar to Li Xunhuan.

In the next generation, when the young ladies see it, they will probably be called Uncle Shuai.

But Zhang Xuan is only in his twenties.

It seems that time has a different speed in each person, and some people live for a lifetime, like a year. And some live for a year, as if they have lived for several lifetimes. Before Zhang Xuan crossed over, the thought spent in twenty years was not as much as the thought spent in one month now.

It's really too draining. Hundreds of thousands of lives were tied to Zhang Xuan, how could Zhang Xuan not be under pressure.

But it's hard to have it both ways. Zhang Xuan is in this position, is it possible not to be distracted?

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Doctor Li, this disease that consumes too much energy can't be cured. ”

Li Zhengfang pondered for a while, but still decided to tell the truth. said: "General, now you are young and young, in this case, I will prescribe a few medicines and recuperate, it is still possible." But the symptoms are not the root causes. When the general is old, it may affect the longevity. ”

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "Then please prescribe medicine, when the world is peaceful in the future, I will cultivate well at home." ”

He silently estimated, about ten years. Domination in ten years. He was in his thirties at the time.

happened to accompany Luo Yujiao's leisurely wind and snow. Thinking about it, as one of the founding heroes, after the world was peaceful, if he interfered too much in the government. On the contrary, it is annoying.

When Zhang Xuan first started, he may have had a huge idea of changing the world, but after fighting the battle of the Southern Expedition. Zhang Xuan felt a little exhausted.

What kind of changes, what industrialization, what modernization, he feels that he has left it to others to do.

For no other reason, I'm so tired.

Li Zhengfang said: "Okay, I'll prescribe medicine to the general." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Then can I handle government affairs as usual?" ”

Li Zhengfang said: "Half a day every day, after the beginning of spring, the body is well." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Thank you Doctor Li. ”

Li Zhengfang said: "This is what the lower officials should do. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Pulling Doctor Li into Xiangyang back then was the most cost-effective deal I did. ”

Li Zhengfang also smiled slightly, as if he remembered the time in Xiangyang City, and now that he thinks about it, it is like a world away.

"The great general is overjoyed, the general is overjoyed." Zheng Lian ran over and said: "I have received the news that the eldest son of the Qin State gave birth to a son on the eighth day of the lunar month. Now the mother and child are safe. ”

"What?" Zhang Xuan listened to this, and almost jumped out of bed with joy. "But it's true," he said aloud. ”

Immediately thinking of such a thing, the people below did not dare to deceive themselves, and said, "Where is the person who reported the news?" Quickly called. ”

Li Zhengfang saw Zhang Xuan like this. His heart was slightly relieved, and he said secretly: "Such a great general's heart is sick, so he will go to seven or eight points." ”
