Chapter 116: The Book of the Military Department
In the few days that Chu Shenxia was in prison, the new candidate for the secretary of the military department has been finalized, as Liu Yu thought, it was Wei Shuming. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This result naturally disappointed the other ministers, but since it was the emperor's personal choice, they were not easy to refute.
For Wei Shuming, they don't know much, King Qing is naturally the first person who wants to win him over, and he personally went to Shangshu Mansion to congratulate him with gifts that day, but unfortunately there were many people who came to congratulate him that day, and they almost wanted to break the threshold of Shangshu Mansion, so King Qing didn't say a few words, so he could only return with regret.
What's even more unexpected is that Wei Shuming actually agreed with Liu Yan's armistice technique and vigorously echoed it in front of the emperor, and the emperor was finally persuaded by him and finally agreed to the armistice and peace.
Liu Yan's goal is to reach, it stands to reason that he should write back to Lu State, but he has not moved, the emperor knows very well in his heart, but he is not in a hurry to force him to return to Lu State.
Liu Yan was restless all day, originally wanting Lu Zhi to find evidence to rescue Chu Shenxia, but thinking of his cautious appearance a few days ago, he had to give up this idea, so he had to go to the Punishment Temple in person.
In the prison, the light was dim, and it was difficult to see the appearance of the prisoners in the prison, Liu Yan only felt that everyone was unkempt, and even the clothes were exactly the same.
Walking straight to the last prison, Liu Yan recognized Chu Shenxia at a glance, he occupied a corner alone, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, his expression was natural, very different from other prisoners who were curled up or drooping their heads.
"Shen Xia." Liu Yan shouted, but everyone turned their eyes over, but Chu Shenxia slowly opened his eyes, his face calm.
Liu Yan watched him stand up slowly, walked in front of him unhurriedly, and whispered His Royal Highness, his movements were calm, and his tone was leisurely, which made him can't help but sarcastically: "It seems that I am too anxious, you are very comfortable here." ”
Chu Shenxia chuckled. Then the corner of his eye glanced at a few prisoners in the corner on the side, Liu Yan caught his gaze, and also looked at the prisoners over there, but his eyes had not yet turned away. Hearing Chu Shenxia speak, he turned back again.
"Your Highness is here to look for clues? I really have a clue to tell Your Highness that someone lured me into the screen that day. I didn't see her, but the pair of gold-embroidered shoes she was wearing were exquisite. ”
"Do you still have the heart to tell me this at this time?" Liu Yan interrupted him with some dissatisfaction.
Chu Shenxia suddenly raised his hand and motioned for Liu Yan to come closer. Only then did he deliberately lower his voice and said: "That kind of embroidered shoes are not owned by ordinary people, nor are they available in the market, like the shoes worn by palace maids." ”
Liu Yan's warm hand touched the cold thing, his heart trembled, and then he quietly clenched the thing he handed over, raised his head and said, "I know, don't worry, I will check." ”
Chu Shenxia nodded, turned sideways and walked to the corner, his eyes inadvertently looking to the side. One of the prisoners hurriedly looked away, rolled over and went back to sleep.
Liu Yan walked in this dark long road, and was stared at by the countless resentful eyes in the prison, and quickly walked out of the Si Xing Temple, and only opened the note in his hand when he arrived at the carriage.
In black and white, Liu Yan felt very curious, where did he get this pen and paper, and how did he write it quietly in front of everyone?
When I looked closely, I saw a few lines of dense writing on the paper:
Hemp boils, poppy three coins. Jasmine root is one penny, angelica is one tael, and calamus is three points. This medicine is only available in Zhang Mingtang, and it is generally taken orally. There has never been a precedent for hearing about it. To take this medicine to the extreme, I only think about it at present, the Xu family, a medical family.
When Liu Yan saw the last few words, his face changed, and he twisted the note in his hand into a ball and threw it out of the carriage. Banrong was born in the Xu family, although he is a grandson, he grew up in the Xu family since he was a child, and he is Xu Xi's personal disciple, and his relationship with the Xu family is obvious.
If the Xu family has already participated in the struggle for the throne of a certain prince, then it is half ...... Is it just a chess piece sent by their Xu family?
Langya Wang's family, Princess Lu Kingdom, and disciples of the God of Medicine, can't the people around him treat each other calmly with a trace of sincerity? Why do they all have to fight against him? He Liu Yan has been in battle to kill the enemy and defend the country all these years, when has he done a bad thing? And so many people were mobilized to come near him with all their hearts, and to murder him, and to put him to death.
"Go to the Tai Hospital!" Liu Yan raised his voice through the heavy curtain.
The carriage turned sharply, and after a while, after a sharp neighing of horses, it stopped suddenly, Liu Yan was very surprised to lift the corner of the curtain and look, only to see the young man on horseback arrogantly said: "Ask your master to give way to me." ”
"You kid, do you know who is sitting in the carriage? Aren't you joking if we want us to make way for you? The groom replied disdainfully, flicked the reins in his hand, and the carriage went on.
The young man gritted his teeth, and with a wave of the long horsewhip in his hand, he beckoned to the coachman, who exclaimed in surprise and closed his eyes in fright, and the young man couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
But he only half laughed before he paused, and his eyes fell on a hand that stretched out from behind the curtain, and the back of his hand was bruised, and at the same time he held his whip firmly, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not pull it back.
The young man was very angry and said angrily: "I am the son of the former chariot cavalry general and the current military department Shangshu Wei Shuming, you dare to pull my horse whip?" Believe it or not, when I go back, I will tell my father to come and punish you, and I will punish you for the crime of raiding your house. ”
As soon as the words fell, the coachman was shocked by his unbelievable words, the crime of raiding the house? Is it difficult to copy it...... Copy the Holy of the Present?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to tell him that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the car, a burst of wanton laughter suddenly came from behind the curtain of the car, "Haha, raiding the house?" Your stepfather is just a secretary of the military department, and it is not his turn to convict others, you female doll, you are so spicy at a young age, beware that you will not be able to marry in the future, which will cause your father-in-law to lose his hair. ”
She felt very embarrassed when she saw that her daughter was exposed on the spot, although there was no one except the coachman and Liu Yan at that time, she still felt that she had lost face, and threw away the horsewhip with a red face.
Liu Yan took the horsewhip in his hand and observed it carefully, the ink-colored long whip was different from the ordinary horsewhip, the whip head was made of rare wood, and the notches on it were chaotic, as if it was trying to hide something. The fingertips pressed hard in the concave pattern, flipped the fingertips to see, vaguely recognizable, it is a plum blossom.
The carriage only traveled for a while and then stopped suddenly, Liu Yan felt that there seemed to be a lot of people outside, thinking of Chu Shenxia, who was still in prison, he couldn't help but get irritable, and was about to lift the curtain and rush out.
Wei Shuming's voice suddenly came from outside, "Dare to ask who is in the car?" Listen to the little girl, her whip is with you? The little girl is young and ignorant, I will be strict when I go back, this horse whip is made by me for the little girl, and I hope you return it. ”
Liu Yan felt very strange, a small pony whip was worthy of his Lord Shangshu to ask for it in person? I carefully looked at the horsewhip from top to bottom, but I couldn't see anything, so I lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
Before he raised his eyes, he heard several people in front of him dismount, and said in unison: "Xiaguan Wei Shuming, Xu Zhicai see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Liu Yan couldn't help but raise his eyes when he heard Xu Zhicai's three words, wasn't he what he was looking for? Xu Zhicai, the grandson of Xu Xi, this person has superb medical skills, and has a benevolent heart, and at the same time strives to be upstream, and at the age of nineteen, he made the position of the right court judge of the five grades.
Just because King Xu was born sick, the emperor specially ordered Xu Zhicai to treat King Xu, and Wei Shuming was responsible for teaching King Xu's martial arts, and after a long time, the two naturally came together.
Liu Yan took the horsewhip in front of him, looked at it carefully, and saw that Wei Shuming was a little nervous, so he handed it back to him with a smile, then turned to look at Xu Zhicai, and asked, "Doctor Xu, I have been feeling a little unwell recently, and I want to ask you to come to the carriage to check my pulse." ”
Xu Zhicai's first reaction was not to think, but to look at Wei Shuming, Wei Shuming obviously noticed Liu Yan's staring gaze, and naturally pretended to ignore Xu Zhicai's gaze.
Xu Zhicai was slightly stunned, so he had to reply: "Okay, Your Highness, please." ”
When Liu Yan turned around and returned to the carriage, he suddenly remembered something, and turned to Wei Shuming and said, "Master Wei doesn't have to wait for Dr. Xu, after diagnosing the pulse, I will naturally send someone to send Dr. Xu back." ”
"Yes." Wei Shuming bowed his head and saluted.
Xu Zhicai sat down opposite Liu Yan, a pair of eyes swept over his face, and then he stretched out his hand to take Liu Yan's pulse, and asked calmly: "Your Highness, where is uncomfortable?" ”
"I feel uncomfortable."
The fingers pressed on his lifeline were slightly stunned, and Xu Zhicai was surprised: "But I see that His Highness's pulse is gentle and powerful, not only is there no illness, but it is a reflection of good health." ”
Liu Yan withdrew his hand suddenly, leaving Xu Zhicai's stiff fingers behind, and said coldly: "I have a heart disease, how can Dr. Xu see it?" I think, it's better to prescribe me a hemp boiling powder and get a good night's sleep, this medicine, Dr. Xu can take it with you? It also saves me from going to the hospital to get it. ”
Xu Zhicai's face was pale, so nervous that he didn't even dare to blink his eyes, and finally held back a sentence, "This kind of medicine that needs to be decocted is not suitable for carrying, so I didn't carry it." ”
"Really? I've heard that this kind of hemp that has been skillfully made by your Dr. Xu is boiling, as long as it is sprinkled into the air and sucked into the mouth and nose, the Chinese medicine will be immediately effective, and the effect of the medicine will be faster than that of taking it. ”
With a "poof", Xu Zhicai knelt down in front of him, and said with a trembling voice: "Your Highness is clear, the lower official is not deliberately concealing it, and the lower official is really helpless." ”
Liu Yan didn't have much emotion about his sudden confession, nor did he show any belief, but said lightly: "Doctor Xu doesn't have to be so nervous, get up and speak." ”
"Yes...... Xiaguan, Xiaguan met a person a few days ago, and that person gave me an ancient secret recipe, which recorded a kind of medicinal powder, as long as people inhale a little, they will be delirious and lose the ability to move, which is another method of making hemp boiling powder. I made a deal with him, and he gave me this secret recipe, and I gave him the hemp boiling powder that I had prepared. ”
Xu Zhicai's face twitched slightly, his eyes tightened, as if he was recalling something, and then he said uneasily: "Later, I heard that the deceased's robe was carrying the hemp made by me, and I was worried that I would be blamed by His Majesty, so I hid this matter." ”
Liu Yan grasped the key point in his words and asked, "Who is that person?" (To be continued.) )
