Chapter 56: Buddha Lamp
When Li Chengqian limped and staggered to the Lizheng Palace, Li Tai, the king of Wei, had not yet arrived, and the Empress Changsun was accompanied only by Li Shimin and Li Zhi, the eight-year-old king of Jin.
Several imperial doctors from the Imperial Physician's Department gathered around and were discussing a cure for the Empress Changsun.
Li Chengqian trotted to Li Shimin, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Erchen has seen his father. Father, mother...? ”
"Get up." Li Shimin waved weakly to signal Li Chengqian to get up, and said, "Sit down, sit next to your mother, your mother has always loved you, take advantage of the time to accompany her more." ”
"Thank you, Father." Li Chengqian got up from the ground, sat down next to Xiao Li Zhi, and looked at the eldest grandson queen who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and tears couldn't help but flow out. Holding the cold hand of the eldest grandson queen, she cried out: "Queen Mother! Queen mother! Wake up, I'm a god'er, queen mother, open your eyes and look at your son, queen mother! ”
Li Shimin saw him crying sadly, and his heart was also sad, the eldest grandson married him at the age of thirteen, and it has been twenty-three years. During this period, most of the time was spent in war and unrest. Even when she gave birth to Li Chengqian, he couldn't accompany him because he was out of the war.
For this married wife, Li Shimin felt guilty from the bottom of his heart.
Li Shimin patted Li Chengqian's shoulder and said, "Qian'er, don't be like this, your mother has always been resolute, if she knew that you were crying like this, she would definitely not like it." Don't make the queen mother sad again..."
Accustomed to seeing life and death on the battlefield, Li Shimin has taken a peek at a person's life and death. It's just that this eldest grandson made him extremely reluctant in his heart.
Li Chengqian wiped away the tears on his face and asked Li Shimin, "Father, what do the imperial doctors say?" Could it be that the queen mother is really...? ”
"It's hard to say whether they can survive it, the doctors are also discussing countermeasures, they are experts in treating diseases and saving people, we have the heart, and we can't do it." Li Shimin sighed, looked at the Changsun clan with a quiet face, and couldn't help but think of the scene when they first met twenty-three years ago. At that time, she was still a lively, healthy, and polite little girl, how did she become like this in the blink of an eye?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Father!"
"Well, what's the matter?" Li Shimin was awakened by Li Chengqian nearby, and asked aloud.
Li Chengqian replied in a low voice: "Father, the prince of the Imperial Medical Department has something to report. ”
"Oh?" Li Shimin hurriedly asked Wang Zikui, who was standing aside, "Imperial Doctor Wang, but you have eyebrows?!" ”
Wang Zikui took a step forward, bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor, the queen's qi disease is caused by the previous wind cold, which caused the old disease, resulting in the weakness of the yang qi of the lungs, spleen and kidneys, and the evil of yin and cold in the body is strong and the yang qi is insufficient. In addition, the queen's body has always been weak and intolerant of severe cold, so she will have symptoms of coughing for a long time, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and now fainting. If you use medicine, you need to..."
"Wang Qing," Li Shimin stopped Wang Zikui's incomprehensible pharmacological pathologies, and asked directly: "I just want to know now, the queen, can you cure her disease?" ”
Wang Zikui knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed and replied: "Back to the emperor, the ministers are incompetent!" The queen's illness can only be alleviated, and there is no cure. Please forgive the emperor! ”
Liu Yiyi was entangled by Liu Ertiao, so he had to sit up and said: "Erjo, you are now a scholar, and after this year, you have reached the age of binding your hair, and you are an adult, and you have to learn to deal with everything yourself." Besides, it is your duty to read this poem, so how can you ask me a farmer? If this is a rumor, isn't it going to make people laugh? ”
"Big brother, I see." Liu Ertiao nodded and admitted his mistake, and then defended himself again: "But big brother, you are only ancient and modern, well-read and memorized, how can you be compared with ordinary farmers?" Even the gentlemen in our private school are far inferior to the eldest brothers. So when you ask your eldest brother in trouble, Nijo doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. ”
"You, really." Liu Yiyi was in a good mood by Liu Ertiao's sycophant, and his drowsiness was mostly gone, he sat up straight, and said to Liu Ertiao with a smile: "Okay, let's talk, what is the problem?" Can it be difficult for the second son of the Liu family to live in our Liu family? ”
"Big brother, that's it." Seeing that Liu Ichijo agreed to help, Liu Erjo hurriedly said, "It's a very strange Shanglian." It is a question from a strange old man who sells lanterns, and the content is: Sishui River is the first, Sishi Xia is second, the old man lives in Jiangxia, who is the first, who is the second? ”
"Sishui River is the first, Sishi Xia is the second, the old man lives in Jiangxia, who is the first, who is the second? Jiang, Xia, Jiangxia, well, it's kind of interesting. Liu Yiyi tasted it for a while, and asked Liu Ertiao with a smile: "What kind of dress is the old man who gave you the question, and why did he give you this kind of problem?" It won't be without reason, right? ”
Liu Yiyi said: "That's why I said that he was strange, that old man was obviously dressed as a lantern seller, but his lanterns couldn't be bought with money." You have to find the corresponding poem, word or couplet under each of his lanterns. ”
"Oh? Then his lantern must be very chic? It can make you give up the bustle of the light market and come back early to wait for me. Yanagichichi was also intrigued. Curious about the lantern sellers. It is expected that that person can come up with such a method of selling lamps, and he must be a civilized and elegant person, which is much better than Du Zigui's fame and reputation.
"The lantern is a very peculiar Buddha lamp, and the appearance is that of a Buddha sitting cross-legged, holding a salute in both hands, and smiling, looking very peaceful. If my mother sees it, she will like it. Yanagi Nijo's eyes lit up as he spoke of the lantern, and he could see that he wanted to take it home.
"You have a heart, and you know that you think about your mother when you play." Liu Yiyi smiled with relief, Liu He's family believes in Buddha, worships Buddha, and respects Buddha. If Liu Erjo gave her a unique Buddha lamp, she would be happy in her heart.
At the same time, Liu Yiyi also thought of the lower link of the old man who sold the lamp in the meaning of the Buddha lamp.
Buddha is one of the three religions, living under Confucianism and located on the Tao. Before Tang Seng returned, Confucianism was the first.
Liu Yiyi thought about it in his heart, and then said to Liu Ertiao with a smile: "I have thought of the next link, you go and get pen and ink, write it down, and go change the lamp." ”
"Hey, I knew that this kind of thing would not be difficult for big brother!" Yanagi Nijo answered and rushed out of the door with a leap.
When he brought the pen and paper, Liu Yiyi was not polite, and wrote on the paper: "The three Confucians are in front, the three talented people are in the back, and the boy is a Confucian, how dare he be in front, how dare he be in the back." ”
After blowing twice on the wet ink, Yanagichi handed the paper to Yanagi and said, "No, take it." When it's over, don't bother me to sleep. ”
"Sishui River is the first, Sishi Xia is the second, the old man lives in Jiangxia, who is the first, who is the second? The three Confucians are in the front, the three talented people are in the back, and the boy is a Confucian, how dare he be in the front, how dare he be in the back. Liu Erjo read it up and down, and suddenly, he praised sincerely: "Okay! Wonderful! Big brother, you're so good! I adore you! ”
