Chapter 18 To Be an Official?
In the wounded barracks, Feng Kuang took the time to wipe the sweat on his face, and then smiled at the Tang Jun in front of him, whose thigh was pierced by an iron spear: "Brother, bear with me!" ”
Before Feng Kuang's words fell, he suddenly pulled out the head of the gun in his hand, and the painful Tang Jun scolded his mother, and a stream of blood spurted out, but Feng Kuang's face did not change and let people hold down the wound, and after a simple cleaning, they began to stitch it up, and in other places in the wounded barracks, there were also many medical officers doing the same thing.
After Feng Kuang came to the barracks a few days ago, he taught the technique of wound suturing to other medical officers, some medical officers did not believe it, but when they saw the actual effect, everyone had a deep interest in this new type of medical treatment, and there were very few medical officers in the barracks, they were worried that there would be insufficient manpower after the war, so they specially selected a group of clever points from some sergeants, so that they also mastered the technique of wound suturing, which also made the wounded who were carried in after the war get timely treatment.
Just when Feng Kuang stitched up the wound, Princess Pingyang finally brought someone to the wounded barracks, just happened to see Feng Kuang was busy, originally the female guards around Princess Pingyang wanted to speak, but was stopped by Princess Pingyang, and then she began to watch Feng Kuang's movements seriously, when she saw that the other party actually sewed up the wound as if sewing clothes, her delicate face also showed a little surprise.
Feng Kuang is a dedicated doctor, he devoted himself to the suturing of the wound, and did not find the arrival of Princess Pingyang, and waited until he finally treated the wounds on both sides, and then cut the silk thread, only then did he find Princess Pingyang standing behind, which made him also surprised, and hurriedly saluted her: "Xiaguan to meet His Highness!" ”
"No need to be polite, this is the treatment method you have researched, Dr. Feng?" Princess Pingyang stepped forward at this time, looked at the wound where the blood had been stopped, and asked, the wounded soldier's thigh was pierced by a big gun, such a wound is the easiest to bleed, she has seen many brothers die on the battlefield because of such injuries, but she didn't expect that there is such a simple way to deal with it.
"The princess misunderstood, this kind of treatment method was not researched by me, but taught to me by others!" Feng Kuang is an honest man and is not willing to take the credit of others for himself.
"Oh? There is such a famous doctor in the world, who is this person, I must repay my father for a heavy reward for him! Princess Pingyang was also very happy at this time, although this method of suturing the wound seems simple, it can save the lives of countless soldiers, and such a great achievement cannot be ignored.
"His Royal Highness Qiqi, this person's name is Li Xiu, and his father is Li Jing, the prince of Yongkang County." Feng Kuang replied again, at this time, Li Jing has not yet been named the Duke of Weiguo, in fact, Li Jing's fame is not so great now, only when he leads his troops to destroy the Turks many years later, Li Jing will surpass the others and become the first person in the Tang Army.
"Li Jing's son? Li Xiu? Princess Pingyang showed a thoughtful expression when she heard this, because she always felt that the name Li Xiu was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.
Seeing the appearance of Princess Pingyang, Feng Kuang also immediately spoke again: "Your Highness, it's a coincidence, Li Xiu is still a neighbor of our princess's courtyard, his Zhuangzi is next to the courtyard, Ma Ye also met the other party by chance, some time ago a craftsman on our Zhuangzi was injured and bleeding, and the lower officials were helpless at that time, and finally Li Xiu used this method of stitching, and finally saved the craftsman's life!" ”
Hearing Feng Kuang's reminder, Princess Pingyang finally remembered that Li Xiu's rebellion against leaving the house for a little nun was known throughout Chang'an, and Li Xiu lived near his own courtyard, so Pingyang also heard the maid next to her talk about it, but at that time, she forgot it after hearing it as an anecdote, and she didn't expect this young man to have such skills.
"It turned out to be him, but since he is the queen of the gate, he can't be rewarded for his merits, wait for me to discuss it with my eldest brother, and explain this matter to my father together!" Princess Pingyang didn't have much opinion on Li Xiu's rebellion against leaving the house, and in her opinion, it was normal for young people to be trapped by love and do some impulsive things.
Li Jiancheng commanded the army to chase and kill Liu Heimin, but unfortunately let the other party escape, and when he led the army back, Princess Pingyang immediately found him as soon as possible, and told the wounded barracks and Li Xiu about it, but Li Jiancheng frowned after hearing it: "I have also heard of this Li Xiu, for the sake of a mere woman, he actually disobeyed his elders, such a person is afraid that his virtue will be lost, if he recommends it to his father, I am afraid that if something happens in the future, I am afraid that you and I will be implicated." ”
"Big brother, meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, this is not only the rule in the army, but also the rule in the court, Li Xiu has contributed to the country, so naturally he must be rewarded, if you don't want to, then I will report to my father myself!" Princess Pingyang insisted on her own opinion, and clear rewards and punishments have always been the foundation of her army.
"Okay, okay, third sister, why are you angry, I'm just saying my worries, since you insist, then let's take credit for that Li Xiu together!" Li Jiancheng has always doted on this sister the most, and when he saw that she was angry, he hurriedly admitted his mistake, and personally took out a pen and paper and wrote an excerpt for Li Xiu, which made Princess Pingyang turn her anger into joy.
After the fold was written, Li Jiancheng asked people to send it to Chang'an with the war report, and at this time someone brought dinner, so Li Jiancheng invited Princess Pingyang to sit down and eat with him, and chatted about some things by the way, speaking of which, their brother and sister have not chatted alone for a long time like now.
However, Li Jiancheng chatted a few words about the battle situation between him and Liu Heimin, and suddenly the topic changed and said: "Third sister, Liu Heimin has been defeated, but our army losses are also very large, and we need a large number of troops to regain the lost territory next, so my father has organized a group of troops, and we can rush here today, and we will be much easier at that time." ”
"Well, it does need the support of the rear troops, who is the person who brought the troops this time?" Princess Pingyang also nodded when she heard this, and then also spoke.
"Cough~, this ......" Li Jiancheng suddenly became a little slumped at this time, and only after a moment did he speak, "The person who led the troops this time is Sichang, third sister, you are not as good as ......"
"Big brother!" Without waiting for Li Jiancheng to finish speaking, Princess Pingyang suddenly interrupted coldly, and then said with a tired expression, "Big brother, I know you have good intentions, but you don't care about this matter, Liu Heimin's army has been defeated, and it will be difficult to become a climate in the future, I am worried that the Turks will send troops to raid Guanzhong, and in two days I will lead troops to Pingliang to garrison in the area!" ”
"Third sister, you ...... Why are you doing this......" Li Jiancheng wanted to persuade again when he heard this, but Princess Pingyang stood up and turned around and left at this time, which made him sigh, and after a long while, he said to himself, "Sichang, Sichang, that's all I can help you!" ”
If Li Xiu saw the above scene, he would definitely be very gossipy, because Sichang was the character of the concubine Chai Shao, and Princess Pingyang didn't even want to see her husband's face, this kind of gossip was enough for him to digest for a while.
In the next period of time, Li Jiancheng led the army to chase Liu Heimin, attacking the city along the way, almost like a storm and clouds to recover the lost ground, and although Liu Heimin organized several counterattacks, desperately trying to keep the territory he had won with great difficulty, but unfortunately under the Tang army, his Han army was defeated in successive battles, and finally had to flee all the way north.
The news of Li Jiancheng's big break with Liu Heimin quickly spread back to Chang'an, and for a time everyone praised the Tang prince's military exploits, Li Yuan was also very satisfied with his son, and praised Li Jiancheng several times in the court, and the prince's party also took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, making Li Jiancheng's position as the prince more stable.
"Haha, Li Yuan really gave birth to a few good sons, and now it is estimated that Li Shimin's face is definitely not very good-looking!" Li Xiu was lying on the bed and muttered to himself with some schadenfreude, the news of Li Jiancheng's big break of Liu Heimin has spread outside the city, and even the tenants like Boss Liu are talking about this matter, and his first reaction when he heard this matter was what would Li Shimin think? Based on his guess, it is estimated that Li Shimin is now squatting in the corner and drawing circles, cursing his eldest brother to die on the battlefield, so that you are good, I am good, everyone is good.
But just when Li Xiu was gloating, he suddenly heard the door being pushed open, and then a big voice shouted: "Boy come out, happy event is coming!" ”
As soon as he heard this loud voice, Li Xiu knew that the person who came must be Ma Ye, and he only learned recently that Ma Ye's real name was Ma Sanbao, and Li Xiu's first reaction when he heard this name was a eunuch, because he remembered that Zheng He's original name was Ma Sanbao, and the name Sanbao Eunuch came from like this, but he didn't expect that there was a famous Ma Sanbao in the early Tang Dynasty.
"Uncle Ma, what kind of happy event is worth your personal trip, could it be that those seeds that have just been planted have grown into green vegetables overnight?" Li Xiu walked out of the room and said with a smile, the first batch of greenhouses has been built, and the seeds have been planted, and the next thing is to wait for the green vegetables to grow out and go on the market.
"The stinky boy doesn't speak seriously, today I bring a big happy event about you!" Ma Ye scolded with a smile, and then said again with some eyebrows, it seems that there is really some kind of happy event.
"What's the happy event?" Li Xiu finally showed a serious expression at this time and said, it is related to his own happy event, he really can't guess this?
"The prince and the princess are very happy to see your wound after the stitching, and they jointly ask Your Majesty for your merits, it is estimated that the reward for you will come down soon, and it will definitely be no problem to mix up an official and a half-job at that time!" Ma Ye said very happily, although there was some misunderstanding with Li Xiu when he first met, but after this period of getting along, he still attached great importance to Li Xiu, a junior, and now that Li Xiu was valued by the imperial court, he was also very happy.
"I'll go! What kind of joy is this? Li Xiu was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out, his ideal of coming to Datang is not to work, if he becomes an official, what is the difference between it and his previous life?
