Chapter 40: Paying Respects to the Mansion of the King of Qin (Part II)

"County Lord Lizhi, shall I come in and have a look?" Shi Bufan replied.

Li Lizhen didn't think much about it, and took the initiative to say: "Shixiao Shulang, these are my sisters and sisters!" ”

Shi Bufan is probably clear, these girls should be Li Shimin's daughters. Li Shimin still has a lot of daughters, and she is still the county lord, but after a while, she may be called a princess. The prince's daughter is the county lord, and the prince's daughter is the county lord, which is also the rule of the Tang Dynasty. The little girls also looked at Shi Bufan with curiosity, especially Shi Bufan, a young man, who was obviously very rare. In the backyard of King Qin's mansion, what they saw the most was nothing more than women and some eunuchs, and of course, there were also a small number of courtiers who were summoned by King Qin. However, those courtiers were generally over thirty years old, and the age gap was too big for them. However, Shi Bufan is not yet twenty years old, which makes these Lori, who have rarely seen men, very curious.

Shi Bufan saw these Li Shimin's daughters looking at him curiously, and he was quite speechless in his heart. However, Li Lizhi is not too strange, because she often goes to the Xiuwen Museum to study, so naturally there is nothing strange. Those who can go to the Shuwen Museum to learn from the times are not qualified to say anything. Shubunkan is the predecessor of the later Hongbunkan, and although the Shubunkan has not yet formally established its educational function, it still has rules. Generally, except for the descendants of meritorious heroes, even the prince's concubines are generally not qualified to study.

"I've met Shi Xiao Shulang!" The loli said together.

Shi Bufan smiled, obviously expressing kindness. For these Lori, there's no need to keep a straight face.

"What are you guys playing?" Shi Bufan asked.

"Shi Xiaoshulang, we are playing with a blasting rod, it's not the New Year! Let's play with the blast stick! This blast rod is so interesting, when it burns, it will make a crackling sound, so interesting! Li Lizhi said.

"Isn't this gunpowder? The Tang Dynasty actually had gunpowder? And this blasting rod, isn't it an ancient firecracker? "Shi Bufan was a little surprised.

However, Shi Bufan hurriedly asked: "How to put this firecracker, isn't it dangerous?" ”

"It's not dangerous, it's just a sound!" Li Lizhi said.

Li Lizhen lit a firecracker and held it directly in his hand, and then Shi Bufan was also shocked, and quickly snatched the firecracker in Li Lizhen's hand, and then quickly threw it into the distance.

"Shi Xiaoshulang, what are you doing? What are you doing with my blast rod? Li Li asked speechlessly.

Shi Bufan immediately said: "It's dangerous for you to do this!" ”

"Smack!"

There was a soft thud, and the firecracker exploded.

However, Shi Bufan heard this sound and said in surprise: "Why is the power of this firecracker so small?" Can't even blow up a bamboo tube? ”

"Shi Xiaoshulang, isn't this the way this explosive pole is? It's not dangerous to hold it in your hand! Li Lizhi said.

Shi Bufan's face was embarrassed, and he compared this ancient explosive rod with the gunpowder of later generations, this gunpowder turned out to be so powerful that even a bamboo tube could not be blown up?

"It seems that this gunpowder can be returned to someone to study, although I don't know the specific proportion of gunpowder in later generations, but isn't it saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal? I can experiment with this specific ratio little by little, and as long as I am willing to experiment more, then I think I can still make it. Shi Bufan thought.

Although Shi Bufan is not a major in chemistry, he still has a certain memory of some simple common sense things. However, he clearly remembered that some history books even clearly pointed out that some people in this ancient world, under a certain experience, combined sulfur charcoal and saltpeter in a certain proportion, so that they became so-called gunpowder. Although Shi Bufan doesn't know the specific proportion, he can let people try slowly, and if he tries more, he will always be able to experiment.

Shi Bufan saw that several of Li Shimin's daughters were also very happy for the New Year, but there was a Lori who was about one year older than Li Li, but she was very unhappy, as if her face was very pale, and her expression was not very good.

"This county lord, what's wrong with you?" Shi Bufan asked.

"It's fine!"

Li Lizhen replied: "This is the third sister, but the third sister doesn't seem to be very happy recently." Aunt Gao is very sick, and Aunt Gao took care of her when the third sister was a child, and they have a deep relationship. Now Aunt Gao is very sick, and the doctor said......"

Li Lizhen didn't say much, but anyone who knew Li Lizhen's words was probably nothing more than a short life. No wonder, her adoptive mother, who raised her since she was a child, is about to die, if she can still have a happy New Year, then how cool this is!

"Aunt Gao?" Shi Bufan was a little surprised, did any of Li Shimin's wives and concubines have the surname Gao?

"Aunt Gao is my father's knife man!" Li Lizhi replied.

"Gao Huitong? That's right, it should be Gao Huitong, Gao Huitong seems to be three years older than Li Shimin and died in April this year. Shi Bufan thought.

About this Gao Huitong, there is also a lot of news in the history of later generations, that is, whether the Tang Dynasty has the title of "Knife Man", the title of the concubine, and Gao Huitong's epitaph was unearthed, representing that the Tang Dynasty had the title of "Knife Man" for a certain period of time.

As for Shi Bufan, he saw this Li Lizhen's third sister, and then thought about it for a while, and probably knew that it was Li Shimin's daughter, Princess Runan, but this Princess Runan seemed to have died quite early, and she died before she could get married when she was a teenager. He died when he was only a teenager, and even in ancient times, it was definitely an early death.

However, Shi Bufan saw that the future princess Runan was pale, obviously she was also sick, and there seemed to be some problems.

"County Lord Lizhi, what is your third sister's illness?" Shi Bufan asked.

Li Lizhi whispered: "Shi Xiao Shulang, the third sister is actually congenital kidney yin deficiency, and there is no way to cure it. There was even a doctor who said a long time ago that maybe the third sister would not live to be eighteen years old. My father had only ...... after drinking, and the aunt was not yet eleven years old at that time. The imperial doctor said that because her father had intercourse after being drunk, and her biological mother was too young to be pregnant, it caused a congenital deficiency of kidney yin. Later, my sister was born with a difficult birth, and her biological mother died prematurely. Later, because her sister was born with a disease, no aunt was willing to adopt her. When she was two years old, Aunt Gao came to the Qin Palace, and then adopted her. However, the congenital kidney yin is insufficient, and it is almost impossible to treat. ”

"If the kidney yin is insufficient, can't the kidney be replenished?" Shi Bufan was speechless.

Shi Bufan was very speechless, maybe he was unfamiliar with other diseases, but he still understood the lack of kidney yin. Because in later generations, many white-collar workers were under great pressure, resulting in kidney deficiency and other diseases. In later generations, white-collar workers had a lot of work pressure, and some of them had inappropriate private lives, so kidney deficiency was a common thing. So Shi Bufan probably knows what these kidney deficiencies are all about, this kidney yin deficiency is actually to replenish the kidney, isn't it to replenish the kidney, what's so difficult? In later generations, there were countless kidney tonic drugs with a wide variety of names, why was it so difficult to tonify the kidney in ancient times?

"No, I heard my father say that there is a medicinal herb called aconite in the Eight Flavor Kidney Qi Pill that can be used at present. Aconite is poisonous, and adults can't eat more, let alone her? So if you let my sister eat aconite, it will hurt her! Li Lizhi said.

Shi Bufan asked: "Why don't you eat Liuwei Dihuang Pill?" Liuwei Dihuang Pill does not have aconite, and it is suitable for people of all ages to tonify the kidney! ”

"Liuwei Dihuang Pill? What is this? Then why don't those doctors prescribe medicine? Li Li wondered.

"Liuwei Dihuang Pill? The Imperial Doctor didn't know? "Shi Bufan was a little surprised.

In later generations, many white-collar workers also used Liuwei Dihuang Pill to tonify their kidneys, and the same was true of Shi Bufan's friends, whose private lives were too chaotic, so they wanted to use Liuwei Dihuang Pills to tonify their kidneys. But those guys wanted to save face, and they were afraid of being known by others, so they didn't dare to buy bottled finished concentrated pills, and they secretly went to buy bulk medicinal materials to hire someone to make that kind of honey pill. Therefore, Shi Bufan also had the opportunity to write down the prescription of this Liuwei Dihuang Pill, and Liuwei Dihuang Pill is suitable for people of almost all ages to tonify the kidney, so this is not difficult.

And Shi Bufan is actually not clear, in fact, this Liuwei Dihuang Pill is also based on this Bawei Kidney Qi Pill to be transformed into a pediatric drug, but he is not clear about this, he does not study medicine professionally, he does not know the process, he only knows the prescription, but he does not know the history behind the prescription.

"I'll go back and prepare, in a few days I think I can make some kidney tonic medicine suitable for her, it's not like that Eight Flavor Kidney Qi Pill has aconite!" Shi Bufan said.

Li Lizhen exclaimed: "Can you cure my sister? ”

The later princess Runan was also shocked, because she didn't expect that there would be someone who could cure her illness? Originally, she was already desperate, but now someone can cure her? After all, no one wants to die, and who wants to die if they can live!

"Whether it can be cured, I can't guarantee it. But it can definitely alleviate the symptoms a lot! Shi Bufan replied.

He really can't guarantee this medical thing, because he is not studying medicine, and he still lets professional people do professional things, and he doesn't want to boast about Haikou indiscriminately.

But from the eyes of that princess Runan, she saw hope, a hope for survival. She originally thought that she was destined to live to be eighteen years old, but now Shi Bufan brought him hope and gave her the motivation to live again. So she looked at Shi Bufan's eyes full of gratitude, obviously Shi Bufan almost gave her a second life!

"Okay, a few county lords, I'll go and have a look first!" Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan then walked around the backyard of this Qin Wang's Mansion, and Dugu Daxue immediately asked, "Do you have any thoughts about being so close to those county lords?" ”

"Poof!" Shi Bufan couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "You want to be crooked, I'm more than a dozen years older than them, can I have any ideas?" ”

"What's wrong with being a teenager older? Most of my Datang horses are much bigger than princesses! It's normal to be a teenager! Dugu Daxue replied.

"......" is speechless.

Shi Bufan suddenly recalled several horses in the Tang Dynasty, and suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon.

"It seems that the princesses and horses of the Tang Dynasty are generally matched by young and old! And it's an old husband and a young wife! Shi Bufan suddenly thought.

Shi Bufan didn't pay attention to it in his previous life, but now he suddenly seemed to have discovered an interesting phenomenon, it seems that many princesses in the Tang Dynasty are married to men who are almost old enough to be their fathers. Li Yuan's daughter, Princess Jiujiang, married Zhifu Sili, and this Zhifu Sili is Turkic, and she must have been much older than Princess Jiujiang when she got married.

There was even a Tang Dynasty general named Xue Wanche later, who began to fight at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, he married Li Shimin's sister Princess Danyang, and Princess Danyang was obviously "made" by Li Yuan during the Zhenguan period, so according to the general age of the princess to marry thirteen to nineteen years old. Even if he was eighteen years old according to the limit, Xue Wanche was at least twenty years older than Princess Danyang. After all, if he was able to fight in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, he must be more than twenty years older than his wife.

There is even a concubine Dugu Yanyun of Princess Ankang, Li Shimin's son-in-law. According to the later TV series "Zhenguan Long Song", Dugu Mou is the son of Dugu Yanyun, and Dugu Yanyun is one of the nine important generals who participated in the Xuanwumen Change. However, the record of Princess Ankang's concubine is obviously problematic and conflicting. On the one hand, it is said that Dugu Yanyun was a general who mutiny with Li Shimin, but Dugu Mou was Li Shimin's son-in-law. Regarding Princess Ankang's concubine, there are two records of conflict, one is Dugu Yanyun and the other is Dugu Mou.

So some people speculate whether Dugu Mou is because his expression is Yanyun, in fact, Dugu Yanyun and Dugu Mou are the same person? But later some people said that Dugu Yanyun was obviously about the same age as Li Shimin, how could he marry such a young daughter as Li Shimin? But if it is now found that there are obviously many examples of princesses in the Tang Dynasty who are old and young, can this also be explained clearly?

Li Shimin once proposed to marry his daughter to Wei Chigong, but Wei Chigong refused. But Wei Chigong is obviously more than ten years older than Li Shimin, which is too ridiculous, right? However, regardless of whether Li Shimin really wants to marry his daughter to Wei Chigong, it is enough to show that Li Shimin dares to say this, which shows that there are many precedents. Obviously, Li Shimin did not deny Wei Chigong's qualification to be his son-in-law because he was more than ten years older than himself, which is enough to show that it was not uncommon for a princess to marry an older person during the Tang Dynasty. Even if Li Shimin didn't really want to marry his daughter to Wei Chigong, but he dared to say that, then he meant that Wei Chigong was actually qualified. In this way, during the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's sons-in-law may have been much older than the emperor? I'll give it a go, Datang Royal is really good at playing! ”
