Chapter 31: The Temple of Picking
Shicui Palace, which is the residence of Concubine Yang, is located on the westernmost side of the Ye Court. The Tang Imperial Palace is generally called the Taiji Palace, with the Liangyi Hall as the central axis, in the east is the East Palace of the Prince, and in the west is the court of the concubine.
Dozens of palace people hold lights, illuminate the front of the palace, the vegetable garden opened up by the wall courtyard on both sides, the flowers and plants planted are pruned very neatly, there are no fallen leaves, more is the chrysanthemum of autumn yellow, and the other flowers are slightly less. The vine-supported fence is rudimentary, somewhat similar to that of a farmer's house, with yellowed, shriveled soybeans hanging from the dirt.
Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan!
This is on the west side of the Xiye Garden, which belongs to the most remote place of the palace, and it is also the most shabby place. If you talk about Concubine Yang's situation, at this moment, she definitely does not have the honor of the "fourth concubine" after the death of Empress Changsun of the Zhenguan Dynasty. In fact, it is not that Concubine Yang is dormant, but that this woman has turned into a 'hermit' after experiencing national hatred and family hatred.
Sometimes infighting is a silent struggle.
"Your Majesty, the high fever of the third prince does not go away, which is indeed a characteristic of the epidemic." Imperial Physician Xu gritted his teeth and reminded him in front.
"Nothing!" Li Yuan smiled slightly, he knew Imperial Physician Xu's concerns, the death of a prince who didn't pay attention to it would have little impact on him, but if the Emperor Taishang died of illness today, he would really not be able to escape the death penalty!
After a pause, Li Yuan continued: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase. What's more, the Son of Heaven? Since I believe in my opinion, even if I am seriously ill, how can I be angry with Imperial Doctor Xu? ”
Imperial Doctor Xu had no choice but to retreat and sigh with his sleeves down.
"What the father-in-law wants to do, the daughter-in-law naturally can't stop it. However, the father-in-law is the respect of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, how can he easily get involved in danger? Daughter-in-law advanced! The eldest grandson shook his head lightly, and the phoenix crown was cloudy, and he stepped into the warm pavilion in the Shicui Palace. (Phoenix crown: The ceremonial crown worn by aristocratic women in ancient times, because the phoenix is the same as the dragon, it can only be worn by queens and princesses.) Kasumi: A colorful garment draped over the shoulders. The phoenix crown is the dress of the ancient queen, and later Queen Ma advised Zhu Yuanzhang to allow women to wear it on this day of marriage. The same is true of the groom's garment. )
"This..."Li Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, he was familiar with history and knew that Wu Wangke would not die, so he was ready to enter the Shicui Palace, if he knew that this was an epidemic, he would not dare to enter if he was given a hundred dares, he was not tired of being crooked! But the eldest grandson Wujian didn't know, but she still chose to step in.
Li Yuan felt a little emotion in his heart, and then entered the Shicui Palace.
The decoration of the Shicui Hall is simple, Li Ke, who looks like seven or eight years old, is lying on the Hu bed against the wall, the pink gauze tent is half covered, and his pale cheeks are bloodless, but from the immature face, you can still see a little handsome edges and corners, and the little hands are unconsciously pressed on the corners of the soft quilt, slightly bent.
Next to her, there was a slightly powdered, beautiful woman crying in a low voice, but she was kneeling on the carpet, her clothes were not gorgeous, and her head was only tied with a wooden fork to tie the green silk.
It's not the slightest difference, it should be Concubine Yang, the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui.
The eldest grandson Wujian gently patted Concubine Yang's pink back, and persuaded softly: "Sister Concubine Yang, don't cry, Ke'er will be fine, you see, father-in-law has also come to see Ke'er." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Yang fell on the bed in shock, and with the support of the eldest grandson, she contained her fright, and said with a trembling mouth: "The concubine participates... Your Majesty. ”
"Excuse me!" Li Yuan frowned, why was Concubine Yang afraid of him, he also knew very well in his heart, this old fox destroyed the Sui Dynasty, can the princess of the dead country not be afraid of him?
Speaking of which, Li Yuan still has a little sympathy for Concubine Yang, because Concubine Yang is only a few strokes in the history books, with only one sentence "Mother Ke, Emperor Yang of Sui!" If it weren't for Wu Wangke, who Li Shimin said "Yingguo is like me", the historian paid a lot of attention to him, and incidentally involved his mother's noble background, this poor woman would probably have dissipated into the world.
It is said that Concubine Yang is pitiful because Yang Guang died in March of the second year of Yining (618 BC), and Li Yuan ascended the throne in May of the same year, but Li Ke was born in the following year!
In other words, Concubine Yang was pregnant with Li Ke during the period of filial piety, which is very sad. At first glance, it seems nothing, but in fact, in ancient times when Confucianism was prevalent, it was not even allowed to eat meat for three years of filial piety, and it was not allowed to shave and shave, let alone pop such a thing.
Looking at Concubine Yang's body trembling with fear, Li Yuan threw out his words and said, "I happened to have read a few medical books, and Ke'er's illness can be cured." ”
"Really?" Concubine Yang seemed to be grasping a life-saving straw, overjoyed, and even her voice suddenly became louder.
In this bleak palace, Concubine Yang chose to live in the remote Shicui Palace, and it was so simple inside, perhaps the only sustenance in her heart was Li Ke, and the flesh and blood family affection was the most sincere.
"Your Majesty, the third prince has taken several pairs of decoctions prescribed by Wei Chen, these decoctions are all good prescriptions summarized by famous doctors in the past dynasties, and the ministers dare not say anything, but the mediocre people mislead the family, the mediocre ministers mislead the country, and the quack doctors mislead people!" Doctor Xu said.
"Am I not sure what is important?" Li Yuan glared at Imperial Physician Xu fiercely, although he knew that he had good intentions, he was afraid that Li Ke's condition would worsen.
In fact, Imperial Physician Xu is the most typical imperial physician in ancient times, with a compassionate heart, and does his best to save people, but his condition is beyond expectations, and he will choose to exaggerate his condition in order to save his life. Some people may not understand that they can't find another good doctor! The problem is that these doctors are very confident, they are all the top doctors in the country, and the incurable diseases that they can't cure can be cured by others?
Imperial Physician Xu touched a gray nose, and he was about to retreat.
But Li Yuan grabbed him and said, "Go find me some moldy steamed buns, the more the better." ”
Moldy steamed buns!?
Imperial Physician Xu was stunned, his tongue was knotted, and he said after a while: "Your Majesty, is this the prescription?" Will moldy steamed buns eat the dead? ”
"Huh!" Li Yuan sneered and said, "Moldy steamed buns will eat dead people, but who told you that I want to let Ke'er eat steamed buns?" Snake venom and scorpion venom can kill people, but why can snake venom and scorpion venom be used in medicine? ”
"That's a small amount of water, neutralized by fire and water." Imperial Physician Xu was not sure in his heart and whispered.
Most of the people who study Chinese medicine will look at Zhou Yi, and most of the pharmacology is also related to the five elements of yin and yang, such as the lungs belong to gold, the heart belongs to fire, and the liver belongs to earth... Some poisons can be used as drugs by neutralization.
However, this thing depends on experience, and the experience accumulated by thousands of people with dead people, if it is successful, it is recorded in the medical book, and if it is not successful, it will be cool.
"Phew!" Li Yuan spat and scolded: "You soak the snake venom in vinegar, and then try it on the animal to see if it can be poisoned?" Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and find moldy steamed buns for me, the more the better. ”
Snake venom is a protein poison that enters the bloodstream causing platelets to clot, and the flowing blood eventually coagulates into a jelly-like gel, and then the human body suffocates to death. (The role of platelets is to clot blood and heal wounds.) The role of red blood cells is to transport oxygen. )
Imperial Physician Xu's face was ashamed, he was silent, and he was extremely unconvinced, thinking that he would do experiments when he returned to the Imperial Doctor's Office, he didn't believe that the half-hung Emperor Taishang could compare to him, an old doctor who had been immersed for decades.
Under the order of the eldest grandson Wuji, the palace was completely busy, looking for moldy steamed buns everywhere, but he could only try his luck.
Of course, the biggest gain will definitely be the Guanglu Temple, which is in charge of the imperial court's liquor, liquor, and the Shangshi Bureau inside the palace.
