Chapter 41: Paying Respects to the Qin Palaces (Part II)
Shi Bufan and Dugu Daxue said: "Daxue, don't worry, I have no interest in the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and I will never have any idea of marrying a princess." You may not have heard of it, there is a saying among the people, it is called marrying a woman to get a princess, and giving birth to an official mansion on the flat ground, who is so brainy and wants to marry a princess? I don't want to give it to me! β
Maybe many people think that the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, but in fact, this is completely nonsense. Since ancient times, it was the emperor's daughter who was most worried about marrying, especially the emperor's daughter of the Tang Dynasty. Of the more than 200 princesses in the entire Tang Dynasty, only more than 130 got married, and many other princesses also chose to become monks and aunts, is this accidental? Even many princesses can't get married when they are old, and no one really wants to marry! Because the identity of the princess of the Tang Dynasty is too cheating, according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, even the princess's father-in-law and mother-in-law must be seen with the etiquette of courtiers, so how can a male-dominated society stand it?
Even after the princess died, as a husband, she had to keep filial piety for the princess, which was also a problem. Of course, there is another important reason, after marrying a princess, not only is it just a princess who comes, but a set of government teams. After the princess got married, there was a government team called the princess's mansion, and there was a team in the princess's mansion responsible for managing the princess's fiefdoms and industries and other things, all of which belonged to the princess's private property, and the officials of the princess's mansion were all official officials with grades. It is conceivable that if you come up with a government agency for no reason, how can you fight against an official government alone? It's no wonder that you don't suffer losses against a state apparatus with an individual! Even after marrying a princess, it will affect the future future. After marrying the princess, then you are also a relative, and in many eras, it is very taboo for relatives to interfere in politics, so relatives are generally not allowed to be reused. Maybe you can only get some high-grade but not very powerful positions, for example, the eldest grandson Wuji has obviously become the prime minister, but he was still taken away, is this accidental?
Therefore, it is very difficult for the princess of the Tang Dynasty to marry, and Shi Bufan is not sensitive. But perhaps it is also because it is difficult for Tang Dynasty princesses to marry, and many Tang Dynasty princesses also have to marry those who are old enough to be their fathers, so it is not strange that Tang Dynasty princesses are old and young. Even, many princesses have to be the ones who continue the strings, after all, people are thirty or forty years old, and I am afraid that there are many children, even as a princess, you are also a stepmother.
At that time, Bufan was ashamed to talk about the disadvantages of marrying a princess here, but a cold snort suddenly came from behind him: "My princess of the Tang Dynasty, is it so unacceptable for you to see?" β
Shi Bufan heard this cold voice, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine, what he just said was too arrogant, and he actually forgot that this is the Qin Palace, and Li Shimin's concubines and children are also here! Anyway, most of them are Li Tang royal people, and they say the disadvantages of marrying a princess, can they have no opinion?
Shi Bufan immediately turned his head and looked at who was talking. After Shi Bufan turned his head, he looked at the two women, and was suddenly shocked! Because this woman is too tall, she is actually more than two meters tall, and she was shocked.
"This height, not to mention the women's basketball team in later generations, the men's basketball team is a main force!" Shi Bufan gasped and thought.
Shi Bufan hurriedly said: "I've seen Concubine Wei, I was just joking just now, I can't take it seriously!" β
And that Concubine Wei was a little surprised and asked, "Do you know that I am Concubine Wei?" β
Shi Bufan replied: "In my Tang Dynasty, if there is such a distinctive woman as you, I am afraid it is you Wei Qi and Wei Guifei!" β
That Concubine Wei couldn't help but nod, a woman with such a height might be the only one in the world. Shi Bufan probably knows that during the Tang Dynasty, there were two women with the most strange height. One is Li Shimin's concubine Wei Qi, according to the archaeological investigation of later generations, her bones are one meter nine tall! This is still a bone, according to the gradual shrinkage of human beings after the age of thirty, that is enough to prove how tall he was when he was young, two meters is almost certain.
Of course, Wei Jue is not the only female giant of this era, there is also Kim Seungman, the queen of Jindeok of Silla, who is also more than seven feet tall and a woman who is about two meters tall.
However, Wei Jue asked, "Who are you?" How did it appear in the backyard of King Qin's mansion? And, how do you know my height? β
"Concubine Wei, I came to visit the Qin Palace, and the eldest grandson said that the Qin Palace, including the back house, can come and go freely, so I'll take a look!" Shi Bufan replied.
Wei Jue frowned, although Li Shimin said that everyone could enter and leave the back house freely, but this was just a polite statement, but there were really people who dared to enter and leave casually? But Wei Jue is not easy to say, as long as Shi Bufan does not do anything too exaggerated, then she is not easy to say. And since the eldest grandson princess has already promised, it is not easy for her to refute the words of the eldest grandson princess.
"Mother, this guy is so bold!" A girl about sixteen years old next to Wei Qi said with a smile.
Shi Bufan saw that the girl next to him actually called Wei Guifei her mother, and he was very strange. Because this girl is about sixteen years old, she actually calls Wei Jue her mother. If Shi Bufan is not mistaken, Li Shimin is 27 years old this year, and if the girl's age is about 16 years old, doesn't that mean that Li Shimin has a daughter at the age of 11 or 2?
Shi Bufan subconsciously asked: "How can King Qin have such a big daughter?" β
"Hehe, guess what!" The girl asked jokingly.
"Li Shimin has such a big daughter? He's only twenty-seven years old! No, this shouldn't be Li Shimin's daughter. She called Wei Jue her mother, which was not normal. According to the ancient rules, even the children born to concubines should first call their mother-in-law their mother-in-law, and other concubines, even if they are their own mothers, can only be called aunts, and even some dynasties call their father's concubines 'sister'. In ancient times, the concubine was the 'mother' of all children, and concubines were almost not qualified to be the mothers in law. But she actually called Wei Jue her mother, which means that he is not Li Shimin's biological daughter. Shi Bufan thought.
Shi Bufan then asked: "I think, you should be the county lord of Dingxiang?" Ling Zun should be Li Min. β
"Oh? You even know that? The girl was surprised.
Wei Jue also asked unexpectedly: "You actually know the late husband?" β
This Wei Jue's marriage to Li Shimin was not her first marriage, but her marriage. Perhaps future generations could not imagine that a monarch would marry a widow, but this is true. Before the Ming Dynasty, in fact, up to the king's family and down to the ordinary people's homes, there was no shying away from remarrying women. Although the government before the Ming Dynasty gave some recognition to women's observance, it was definitely not raised to such a crazy height. It was only in the Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who claimed that his ancestor was Zhu Xi, and as a result, Cheng Zhu Lixue was regarded as the standard, so women were required to observe festivals.
Before the Ming Dynasty, a woman's marriage was not an obstacle for her to marry the emperor. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's biological mother was also married, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also had a half-sister, and in the end, she was canonized to a certain status, and the royal family of the Han Dynasty did not say anything. Even if Song Zhenzong's queen Liu E is not a second marriage, even Song Zhenzong has no special means for Liu E's ex-husband, and there is no embarrassment when the two sides meet. Even Liu E took proper care of her ex-husband, but Song Zhenzong not only did not object, but acquiesced.
Therefore, do not use the thinking of later generations to measure the ancient people, the times are changing, maybe the things that later generations thought were incredible, and they were taken for granted in ancient times. But the ancients thought that the future generations could not understand it. Zi Fei Yu knows the joy of fish, and the future generations are not ancient people, how can they understand the thoughts of the ancient people? After all, people in different eras have different worldviews. Wei Jue married Li Shimin, and he was not despised by Li Shimin because he was married for the second time and had a daughter, but attached great importance to it. Wei Jue is in Li Shimin's harem, second only to Empress Changsun. After the death of Empress Changsun, Wei Jue was the woman who acted as the empress.
Wei Jue married Li Shimin with an oil bottle, and Li Shimin did not discriminate and abuse, but still gave Wei Jue and her ex-husband's daughter the status of a county lord, and gave her status as the daughter of the prince. In ancient times, it was not surprising to bring an oil bottle, didn't Cao Cao also have two stepsons, He Yan and Qin Lang? Even Cao Cao's preferential treatment of his stepson He Yan made many of Cao Cao's biological sons jealous, and he also made his stepson his son-in-law, so the ancients were much more open to this aspect than later generations.
"Concubine Wei, in fact, there is nothing about this, and there are many people who know about it. What's more, my fiancΓ©e is the Tang Shang Palace, so it's not surprising to know this. Shi Bufan replied.
Dugu Daxue was speechless, he didn't tell Shi Bufan these things at all, but he had to carry the black pot. Dugu Daxue didn't know where Shi Bufan heard it, but that Wei Jue also seemed to understand, because Dugu Daxue was in the palace Shanggong, and it was not strange to know a lot of the relationship network of the Li Tang royal family, so Wei Jue also understood. But Dugu Daxue naturally couldn't take the initiative to come out and dismantle her husband's platform, so she could only choose not to answer by default.
"Concubine Wei, I heard that Gao Huitong, the knife man of the Qin Palace, is sick, what is the disease?" Shi Bufan asked boldly.
Wei Jue replied: "It's a cold fever!" β
"Cold fever?" Shi Bufan felt a little familiar, as if he had heard of it somewhere.
Suddenly, Shi Bufan said: "Cold and fever, isn't it malaria?" β
Although Shi Bufan is a liberal arts student, he suddenly thought of a story before the time travel. That is, before he crossed over, he had an alumnus who studied medicine and won the Nobel Prize, the first person in China to win the Nobel Prize in natural science. Since they are the first and still extraordinary alumni, although they study different majors, they will not relax their publicity because of different majors. At that time, it was a big blow in the university, and I don't know how long it continued to be promoted. The liberal arts student was forced to make up a lot of information about the Nobel Prize-winning alumnus and her research results. And Shi Bufan also participated in the compilation of the school history, so the alumni of such a bullish fork naturally had to be compiled into the history of the school, so he was also forced to have a lot of understanding of malaria.
Isn't it great that the senior alumni who won the Nobel Prize have developed a specific drug for malaria? Although the Tang Dynasty did not have the so-called cinchona, it can be used here!
"Concubine Wei, I think I can help this swordsman Gao Huitong to a certain extent!" Shi Bufan said.
Concubine Wei also asked unexpectedly, "Can you cure her?" β
"Concubine Wei, I don't dare to guarantee that it can be cured, but I can only guarantee that she can live a stable life in this life!" Shi Bufan replied.
Wei Jue also immediately replied: "Since that's the case, that's fine." β
Although it can't be completely cured, what is there to ask for if you can live a stable life? Shi Bufan also told the doctors in the Qin Palace's mansion about the method of extracting the artemisinin from the yellow artemisia with cold water, especially telling them not to heat it, if it is heated, it will destroy the ingredients, and it can only be squeezed with cold water. Soon the doctors also made preparations, and after a while, the doctors immediately reported to the eldest grandson, the princess.
"Princess, the symptoms of the knife man have been alleviated a lot, maybe continuing to take it can have a great effect. Maybe it's really like what this person said, it may not be curable, but maybe it should be possible to spend a life in peace! β
Princess Eldest Sun and Li Shimin, the other women looked at Shi Bufan, their eyes were much better, and they were a little grateful. As for Li Shimin's three daughters, when they saw Shi Bufan, they were even more grateful.
"Shi Xiaoshulang, thank you, you not only saved me, but also saved Aunt Gao, thank you!" Li Shimin's third daughter, the future princess Runan, saluted Shi Bufan and said.
No one is more grateful to Shi Bufan than Princess Runan, because her own mother died when she was born, and her real mother was an ordinary palace maid. Li Shimin is really drunk and has sex with her, and her mother is only eleven years old, too young, so on the one hand, after drinking, on the other hand, her mother is too young, resulting in a lot of congenital kidney deficiency when pregnant. And the Eight Flavor Kidney Qi Pill, a special medicine for the treatment of kidney tonic in this era, has aconite, a poisonous thing, in it, and she can't take it. She was judged not to have lived to be eighteen years old. So she has been taken care of by servants since she was born, and no one in Li Shimin's wife and concubine wants to adopt her, after all, no one wants to adopt a daughter who is destined to live to be less than eighteen years old. Only Gao Huitong adopted her, and Gao Huitong was more intimate to her than her mother. But now Gao Huitong is seriously ill, which makes her very sad.
This time, Shi Bufan came over, not only did she even her, but also saved Gao Huitong, who was not a mother, but also a mother, so this future princess of Runan was really grateful to Shi Bufan.
Shi Bufan is also quite proud, because he has a good relationship with the concubine of Li Shimin's future harem, which will definitely be of great help to him in the future. Sometimes, taking the lady's route is also a shortcut, after all, the power of the pillow wind is not small.
In the history of extraordinary learning, the pillow wind changes history everywhere! Therefore, if you gain the favor of these Li Shimin's harem concubines, it will definitely be of great benefit to your future.
