Chapter 197: Thousand-year-old ginseng
Looking west from the capital city of Yunnan, across the narrow water surface of the northern section of Dianchi Lake, you can see the majestic West Mountain.
In April, the green shadow of the mountains obscures the entire western horizon. People who pass through Guizhou to Yunnan Province do not feel how high the West Mountain is; It's just that the terrain of Yunnan Fucheng is very flat, and the west mountain across the Dianchi Lake is very abrupt and looks very high.
The Dianchi Lake next to the Fucheng City is very wide from a close distance, but this is the narrowest section of the Dianchi Lake; Looking to the south, it is its true face, you can't see the opposite shore of Dianchi Lake at all, and the distance is a piece of water waves, as if the vast sea.
…… Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, who had just arrived in Fucheng, was not interested in enjoying the scenery of Yunnan, and he didn't even have time to take a closer look at his new palace. Because Princess Guo Wei was sick, he was very anxious.
"Lord, is the concubine going to die......" Guo Wei turned her head while lying on the bed, and even her lips were a little white.
Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly covered her outstretched jade white hand with his big hand, and he was very anxious. Guo Wei has been unwell for nearly a month, or because of the lack of Chinese medicine skills of Lang found on the road, her illness has not improved.
But Zhu Gaoxu didn't want Guo Wei to follow him in a hurry, so he forced himself to look relaxed and said softly, "Don't say stupid things." Wei'er just didn't adapt to the soil and water, and she didn't find a good doctor. I have already sent someone to find the best Langzhong in Yunnan Province, and Wei'er's illness will be cured soon. You can recuperate with peace of mind, don't think nonsense, don't be afraid. ”
Guo Wei smiled when she heard this, her little hand moved in Zhu Gaoxu's palm, and she said weakly: "Wei'er is not afraid...... To be the wife of the prince, even if it is only for one year, I am satisfied......"
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, there was a dull pain in his heart, and he turned his head to look at it, wanting to see if Lang Zhong, who was known as the best doctor in Yunnan Province, had come. The eunuchs and palace maids at the door hurriedly lowered their heads.
Guo Wei's voice said softly: "The prince is so good to me. ”
At this moment, Wang Gui ran to the door, panting and said, "Coming, coming!" Lord Wang, Divine Doctor Chen is here! ”
"Please come in and see the princess." Zhu Gaoxu ordered.
The palace maids bent over, pulled up the thick purple curtain in front of the bed, covered the bed tightly, and then took a silk thread and gently tied Guo Wei's wrist and pulled it out.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said: "It is the most important thing to see the princess, you don't need to pay so much attention, can you hear the pulse accurately with a line?" ”
"Yes, lord." The palace maid hurriedly moved a case to the curtain, then carefully took out Guo Wei's hand, gently placed it on the soft cushion on the desk, and then placed a silk handkerchief on her wrist to cover it.
Zhu Gaoxu does not understand traditional Chinese medicine, but he also knows that the ancients were expected to ask questions about diseases. He didn't care a lot, and said in his heart: Even if it is a princess, wearing clothes and covering the quilt to be looked at by Langzhong, what can she do?
So he simply stepped forward and personally pulled the curtain open, so that Lang Zhong could diagnose it well.
After a while, an old man with white hair and a red face followed Wang Gui over, and there was a junior carrying a wooden box behind him. The old man walked to the door and glanced at the room, was stunned for a moment, turned around and reached out to take the wooden box, and walked into the room alone. The old man bowed to Zhu Gaoxu, who was wearing a dragon suit, and said, "The grass people meet His Royal Highness the King of Han." ”
Zhu Gaoxu saw that this old man was very old, but his complexion was very good, his eyes were not cloudy, and his steps were still very steady. He immediately felt that it was okay...... Since Lang Zhong dares to claim to be a miracle doctor, if he can't even recuperate his own body, how can he treat others?
"Divine doctors are exempt." Zhu Gaoxu supported him very politely, "It is good to cure the princess's illness, as long as it can be cured, this king will not hesitate to reward him." ”
Chen Langzhong said: "The grass people obey orders. ”
"Quickly bring a chair to Doctor Chen." Zhu Gaoxu said.
"The grass people are rude." Chen Langzhong sat down on the chair, gently placed the box next to him, and then stretched out two fingers and placed them on the silk handkerchief on Guo Wei's wrist.
The room was quiet, and even Zhu Gaoxu stopped talking.
After a while, Chen Langzhong took his fingers away steadily, said another faux pas, and leaned over to carefully look at Guo Wei's face. After a while, he stood up, clenched his fists and said: "Your Royal Highness the King of Han, the princess is not accustomed to the terroir, and the cold and evil invade the body, so her blood and qi are weak, and her heart and kidney are deficient. Dare to ask how long has the princess been sick? ”
Zhu Gaoxu said: "From the first time I felt that her face was not good, it has been twenty-three days and half a day since today. ”
Chen Langzhong touched his snow-white beard, pondered for a moment and said, "Other prescriptions prescribed by Langzhong, the grass people, please take a look." ”
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Wang Gui, who immediately took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve pocket and handed them over.
Chen Langzhong looked at it and said: "The princess's illness has dragged on for too long, and the grass people can only prescribe some medicine to recuperate for the princess first...... But if there is a thousand-year-old Korean ginseng tonic, the princess's illness will definitely improve! ”
"Millennial Korean ginseng?" Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "A thousand years is an imaginary finger, which means old ginseng?" ”
Chen Langzhong shook his head and said, "It's best to have more than a thousand years of ginseng." ”
In this case, it is necessary to at least start growing ginseng in Goryeo since the Eastern Jin Dynasty...... Although the whole Yunnan is very large, the place with a certain degree of civilization is only as big as Kunming City, and it is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains.
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered the prescription prescribed by Lang Zhong in Lu Xun's essays, what pairs of crickets that had never cheated, and the like. Fortunately, this Chen Lang should be a little more reliable, at least the thousand-year-old ginseng is still like that.
But Zhu Gaoxu can't help it, he is not a doctor, except for listening to this Ming Dynasty Langzhong, how else can he save Guo Wei?
"Look for it." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
Chen Langzhong said: "The grass people go to prescribe prescriptions." ”
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Wang Gui, take Doctor Chen out, and wait for the pen and ink." ”
"The slave obeys." Wang Guidao.
"Lord Wang......" Guo Wei's voice called. Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly walked to the side of the bed, held her little hand, and reached out to gently stroke the messy green silk on her cheek behind her ear.
Guo Wei said: "The concubine has made the prince work. ”
Zhu Gaoxu said: "What do we husband and wife say about this? Rest assured, I will do my best to find the millennium Korean ginseng! Wei'er just needs to recuperate with peace of mind, rest more, relax a little more, I accompany you every day. ”
When Guo Wei heard this, a slight smile appeared on her face, but her face was too bad.
After a while, Wang Gui bowed down and stood at the door and didn't come in. Zhu Gaoxu glanced back, and then said to Guo Wei: "You close your eyes and recuperate, and I'll come back later." ”
"Hmm." Guo Wei replied softly, and said softly, "My mother taught me to serve the prince well, but I blame me for not being angry." The prince has just arrived in Yunnan, and he must focus on business, and he doesn't have to ......."
"Okay, Wei'er doesn't talk much." Zhu Gaoxu said.
He walked out of the bedroom, Wang Gui bowed down and said: "Lord Wang, the civil and military forces of Yunnan Mansion have been waiting for almost half an hour, did the slave and maid tell them to come back another day?" ”
"I'll go now." Zhu Gaoxu glanced down at his clothes, "Change your clothes and go." ”
Zhu Gaoxu changed into a clean red dragon suit, put on a black gauze hat, and went to the front hall. The early summer in Yunnan is really not hot, and two or three clothes can be worn.
Walking to the door of the front hall, Zhu Gaoxu stood still, turned his head and said, "Wang Gui, you take people to ask everywhere in the city, where can you find thousand-year-old Korean ginseng." You only do this for a while, and for the affairs of the house, you call Cao Fu to come over and let him go through the experience. There are still more than 20 civil officials in the palace, which can be maintained. ”
Wang Gui hugged his fists and said: "The slave obeys the order, and will go all out!" ”
He entered the front hall, and sure enough, he saw a dozen people in official uniforms waiting inside, and everyone immediately stood up from their seats.
Zhu Gaoxu walked forward, hugged his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Let you wait for a long time, this king really has something to do just now, the princess is not accustomed to the water and soil when she first arrives, and she is sick, and Lang Zhong is diagnosing the princess. ”
Everyone stepped forward to salute, asked the princess about her condition, and looked very nervous and concerned.
After some etiquette, Zhu Gaoxu did not take a seat at the top, but still stood below, greeting the officials one by one, mainly to get to know each other. Of course, he can't remember all of them, but it's okay to get acquainted with them first.
"Zheng Xiang, the commander of the right army of Xiaguan and the commander of the army in Yunnan, only arrived a few months before His Royal Highness the King of Han."
"Xiaguan Yunnan commanded Cao Long, who came a month later than Zheng Yishi."
"The last general, Shunchang Bo Wang Zuo, the deputy general of Xipinghou, arrived at the beginning of the year."
"Xiaguan and other Yunnan commanders are Tongzhi Wang Wei, Fang Jing, Wang Zheng, and Liu Jian, and they arrived at the beginning of the year to meet His Royal Highness the King of Han."
…… Zhu Gaoxu came down one by one and found that a large number of military attaches in Yunnan were temporarily transferred to Yunnan after his father ascended the throne. Zhu Gaoxu didn't know these things, but now he understands that his father has long been worried about Yunnan, and he has changed many people.
Several civil officials spoke quite cautiously, but the general's mouth was wide, and King Zuo of Shunchang Bo shouted aggressively: "We went to Mufu before we came, and I want to invite the Marquis of Xiping to come to meet His Royal Highness the King of Han today, but coincidentally, the Marquis of Xiping is also sick!" I sent this guy, hey, what rank of official are you? ”
The scribe standing at the end blushed and was speechless.
As soon as Zhu Gaoxu entered the door, he knew that Mu Sheng had not come, although he had never seen Mu Sheng, but if the uncrowned king of Yunnan came, his clothes and aura would definitely not be the appearance of these people who were standing.
At present, it seems that the situation in Yunnan at this time is really a little tense. However, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't know much about the situation at the moment, and is ready to stabilize and figure out the routines of these people first.
He waved his hand and said, "How can people eat grains without being sick?" Didn't Xipinghou send someone here, this king is not a hypocritical person, and it is boring to worry too much about red tape. ”
"His Royal Highness the King of Han forgives, and the lower official pays tribute to the prince on behalf of the Marquis of Xiping." The last scribe bowed down and bowed.
"Well said, well said." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile, "Speaking of which, King Qianning is the adopted son of the emperor's ancestor, and the Marquis of Xiping is still my brother-in-law." ”
Everyone immediately agreed.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the scribe, and immediately muttered again: "A Lang Zhong who is known as Doctor Chen said that the princess's illness will cost thousands of years of Korean ginseng. I wondered, where are these antiquities, let alone to find them in Yunnan Mansion......"
The scribe immediately bowed and said, "After the lower official returns, he will report to the Marquis of Xiping." If the Hou Mansion has, the Marquis of Xiping will not be stingy with gifts. ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "In Yunnan Mansion, the most likely thing to be rare is probably the Xiping Marquis Mansion." If there be such a thing, this king will not take it in vain. ”
"The prince is serious." The scribe bent down and said, "The lower official is going to ask, please wait for the prince in the palace." ”
