Chapter 713: Countermeasures for a hunger strike
After the meal, Xu Liang and the others were relieved that they couldn't leave Xu Ge Lao, so they made an appointment to visit together.
A group of several people came to Xu Ge Lao's residence, and saw two waiting maids cleaning up the food on the table, and saw Xu Liang, Feng Suqin, Zhang Yan and others coming, and they were busy giving gifts.
Xu Liang frowned and asked, "Elder Ge still hasn't eaten?" ”
Yahuan replied: "My lord, these foods have been put on for a long time, and Xu Ge has not touched a mouthful. ”
Xu Liang looked at Xu Ge Lao, who was lying on the bed, his eyes closed and motionless, sighed, felt angry and helpless, walked over, and saluted Xu Ge Lao's thin back: "Ge Lao, what do you want!" ”
Elder Xu Ge opened his eyes, looked at Xu Liang, snorted lightly, and said hoarsely: "Unless you promise to send troops to aid Shanxi, the old man would rather starve to death!" ”
"Why are you doing this?" Xu Liang smiled bitterly.
"Hmph......" Xu Ge Lao snorted lightly, glanced at Xu Liang stubbornly, and then closed his eyes again, he didn't intend to pay attention to the people in the room.
Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan stepped forward and persuaded worriedly: "Elder Ge, business is business, you still have to take care of your health." Medicine should be eaten, and rice should also be eaten. ”
Xu Ge Lao closed his eyes, buzzed, and said unceremoniously: "Yi'an Niangniang, this is the entanglement between Lao Chen and Xu Liang, and please Niangniang stand aside and don't interfere." ”
Zhang Yan choked and sighed softly.
Several people stood helplessly in the room for a while, and then saw Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian also rushed over, and they couldn't help but be surprised to see a room full of people.
Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian were heartbroken and persuaded again, but Xu Ge Lao was stubborn, no matter how Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian persuaded him, Xu Ge Lao just ignored it, and finally was annoyed by the persuasion, so he simply covered his head with a quilt and couldn't see it.
A few people were helpless, and ordered the two maids to wait carefully, and Xu Liang and others came out. Zhang Yan said worriedly: "Xu Liang, the elder of the pavilion should have not eaten the grain of rice for two days, right?" If you continue to stalemate like this, will the elder Ge's body be able to stand it? ”
Xu Liang was stunned and annoyed: "This old man doesn't know what nerves he has, he actually plays a hunger strike with me!" ”
"Xu Liang, I don't know about the affairs of Shaanxi, a woman." Zhang Yan groaned, looked at Xu Liang, and said: "It's just that Xu Ge Lao did this completely out of a public heart, and Ge Lao has been on a hunger strike like this, and his body will definitely not be able to stand it." You...... Follow the old people as much as possible. ”
Zhang Yan thought about it for a long time, and then she couldn't bear not to say the words of sending troops to Shanxi. Shaanxi must be Xu Liang's Shaanxi, even if Zhang Yan has the heart to help Xu Gelao, she can't say it too thoroughly. In this way, it will seem that Zhang Yan came to Shaanxi to use the identity of Empress Yi'an to persecute Xu Liang.
Xu Liang's face sank like water, and he nodded slowly. Early the next morning, the maid who was waiting for Xu Ge ran into the inner courtyard in a panic.
"My lord, it's not good, Xu Ge is in a coma!" Yahuan was obviously frightened and trembled.
Xu Liangden was taken aback, if he really starved Xu Ge to death, then this joke would be big. Hurriedly rushed towards Xu Ge's old house.
In Xu Ge's old house, it was already messed up, Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian lived next door to Xu Ge's old man, the fastest to get the news, and the first to arrive, seeing that Xu Ge's old head was scary, his breathing was short, and his breath was unstable, so he jumped to his feet in a hurry.
When Xu Liang arrived, the doctor of the governor's yamen also arrived, and Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian hurriedly let them out for the doctor to check.
Xu Liang and Yu Dazhong, Wang Xian and others nervously watched the doctor give Xu Ge Lao diagnosis and treatment.
Wang Xian asked tremblingly, "Brother Yu, Elder Ge will be fine, right?" Even if Fat Wang didn't understand medical skills, he could see that Xu Ge Lao was in a very bad state at the moment, his face was hot, and his face showed a sickly blue color.
Yu Dazhong shook his hand irritably: "You ask me, how do I know!" ”
"Alas, I really should have stopped Xu Ge in the first place!" Wang Xian sighed.
Xu Liang listened to the distinction on the side, couldn't help but look at Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you say?" Did you know about the hunger strike of the elder in advance? ”
Wang Xian and Yu Dazhong glanced at each other, and they were divided.
Seeing this, Xu Liang understood a little, and nodded slowly, "It seems that the two of you not only know, but also help Xu Ge Lao hide from his own official?" Then he sneered again and again, "I'll just say why don't you two go back to Shanxi, hey, you didn't borrow soldiers from me, so you want to partner with Xu Ge Lao, and rely on Xu Ge Lao's hunger strike to deceive the sympathy of the official?!" What a good idea! ”
Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian were a little flustered when they saw Xu Liang's stern expression and sneered again and again. The two hurriedly waved their hands: "Xu Liang, it's not what you think." Xu Ge Lao wants to go on a hunger strike, which is completely Ge Lao's personal idea. We wanted to tell you in advance, but he wouldn't let you. ”
"So you two teamed up to cheat on me?!" Xu Liang sneered.
Brother Xu was angry. I, we don't want that. This is all what the elder means! The two explained with a wry smile.
At this time, the doctor finished the diagnosis and stood up, Xu Liang glared at Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian hatefully, "I'll settle accounts with you later." After that, he stepped forward a few steps, pulled the doctor, and asked nervously, "Doctor, how is Elder Xu Ge?" ”
The doctor's expression was entangled, and he thought for a long time before he stroked his long beard and said with a complicated expression: "Elder Xu Ge's condition has worsened. ”
Xu Liang listened and asked nervously, "Then quickly open a prescription for treatment." ”
However, the doctor shook his head and sighed, looked at Xu Liang helplessly, and said, "If the elder of the pavilion blindly goes on a hunger strike, no matter how much he prescribes it, it will be in vain." ”
Xu Liang was stunned, looked at Xu Ge Lao who was lying on the hospital bed with a complicated expression, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Doctor, although he prescribes a prescription." The rest of the matter will be solved by the officer. ”
When the doctor heard this, he nodded, and quickly prescribed a prescription and handed it to Yahuan to grab the medicine according to the prescription.
Xu Liang glanced at the elder pavilion and shouted at Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian: "You two, come out with me." ”
Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian shrunk their necks, and stayed in the governor's yamen for a long time, Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian were a little afraid of this governor who covered the sky in Shaanxi from the bottom of their hearts. The two followed Xu Liang to the courtyard outside.
Xu Liang turned around violently, and his sharp eyes forced Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian to ask in a deep voice, "Two, do you want Xu Ge Lao to get better as soon as possible?" ”
Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian glanced at each other, and the two of them said curtly: "Brother Xu said that he laughed, of course we hope that Xu Ge is healthy." ”
Xu Liang's scrutinizing gaze wandered over the two of them for a while, then nodded and said, "Very good." It seems that the three of us have the same idea. So, you two have to listen to me next, and you two don't stop me from doing anything. ”
Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian looked at Xu Liang with some concern, and they didn't understand what Xu Liang wanted to do for a while.
"What, you have doubts?" Xu Liang's face instantly turned cold, and he sighed.
Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian listened, the two exchanged glances, and they both bowed their hands to Xu Liang: "Don't dare, everything is arranged by Brother Xu." ”
Xu Liang nodded with satisfaction. Then he beckoned to call an accompanying Tsing Yi guard, and commanded in the guard's ear for a while, and the guard listened, his face changed slightly, and he turned around and walked away quickly.
Yahuan, who went out to boil the medicine, boiled the medicine and brought it over, and Xu Liang beckoned Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian to come over. Xu Liang instructed the two maids: "Put the medicine on the table, and then bring two bowls of porridge, it should be lighter." In addition, the two of you will be responsible for boiling medicine and food, and waiting for Xu Ge Lao's affairs, so the two of you don't have to do it anymore. ”
When the two maids heard this, they bowed to Xu Liang gratefully, and retreated happily.
Seeing this, Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian were both a little puzzled, and Yu Dazhong couldn't help asking: "Brother Xu, Xu Ge is seriously ill, and he can't do without people by his side." ”
Yu Dazhong's hidden meaning is that now you have removed all the waiting maids, who will take care of Xu Ge Lao again, will he be left to fend for himself?
Xu Liang snorted lightly, glanced at the sleeping Xu Ge Lao with a complicated expression, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm still too much to give Old Man Xu face!" I respect him, but he plays a hunger strike with me! I want the old man to know what it means to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot. ”
When Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian heard this, they were a little surprised.
A team of Tsing Yi guards strode over outside the door, and a few people were guarding outside, and a Tsing Yi guard captain walked into the house and arched his hand towards Xu Liang and said, "Report!" Hu Liang, the captain of the Tsing Yi Guard Garrison Department, came to listen to the order. ”
Xu Liang nodded slowly, then pointed at Xu Ge Lao on the hospital bed, and said in a deep voice: "Listen, this old man on the hospital bed, no matter what he says or does when he wakes up, you don't pay attention to it." watched him finish the boiled medicine and swallow all three meals a day into his stomach. He can't get out of this room until he's cured! ”
The captain looked solemn: "The subordinates promise to complete the task." Then he asked with some concern: "My lord, what if Elder Xu Ge refuses to eat and drink medicine?" ”
Xu Liang was suddenly angry, and looked at the captain coldly: "Then hey!" If you can't feed it, you can fill it! If you can't pour it, stuff it! Hmph, until he recovers, you don't have to treat him as some bullshit elder. He's just a stubborn old man! I don't care if you feed it, pour it or stuff it! I just want him to drink his medicine on time and eat on time! Get well as soon as possible! Do you understand? ”
"Listen, I understand." When the captain heard Xu Liang's order, he was immediately full of courage. The answer was also very loud.
Xu Liang nodded with satisfaction, and then signaled: "Now let Xu Ge drink the medicine." ”
The lieutenant listened, glanced at the medicine jar on the table, then grinned, and turned his head towards the subordinates of the Tsing Yi Wei who came with him, and two Tsing Yi guards stepped forward, one of them took a hand, and sat up the sleeping Xu Ge Lao, and then straightened Xu Ge Lao's head.
The captain smiled proudly, took a medicine spoon and opened Xu Ge Lao's lips, and poured medicinal soup inside. The sleeping elder coughed lightly, and a lot of medicinal juice flowed out from the corner of his mouth. The lieutenant slapped Xu Ge on the back twice, and then another spoonful of medicine was poured in.
"Ahem......"
poured medicine twice, and finally woke up the sleeping Xu Gelao. Ge Lao opened his heavy eyelids, first looked around in confusion, and when he saw that the Tsing Yi Wei lieutenant was holding a spoonful of medicinal soup and handed it straight to his mouth, he screamed strangely, and he was about to struggle, and when he struggled, he was horrified to find that his left and right arms were tied behind him and buckled behind him, and pressing his two generous slaps, as if they had taken root, pressed Xu Ge Lao and couldn't move.
Ge Lao was so frightened that he almost lost his soul and struggled hard, but his body was weak, not only did he not break free, but he was tired and sweating, and the spoonful of medicinal soup was accurately poured into Ge Lao's mouth.
"Woo!"
"Who are you? Think...... What do you want to do? Ahem......"
The two Tsing Yi guards separated, Xu Liang walked up from the middle, looked at Xu Ge Lao, and chuckled: "Ge Lao, I am for your good, I can't watch your condition worsen and be indifferent!" In addition to offending, please forgive me. ”
"Xu Liang, what do you want to do?" When Xu Ge saw that it was Xu Liang's person, he was relieved a lot, but he still asked angrily.
Xu Liang spread his hands and said in a fluttering tone: "The elder doesn't drink medicine, and the second doesn't eat!" And Ge Lao's illness can't be delayed, so there is no way. Since the elder doesn't want to do it himself, then the lower official only needs to let others help you. Well, this way of eating is a bit rude, but it must be very effective. Well, you go ahead. The last sentence was said by the lieutenant. The captain smiled evilly, scooped up another spoonful of medicinal soup and sent it over at Xu Ge Lao's mouth.
"Woo ......"
Yu Dazhong and Wang Xiannian couldn't bear to look at it, and they wanted to say something eagerly, but they were dragged out by Xu Liang one by one.
"Brother Xu, this way, isn't this good?" Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian both walked out of the courtyard, but they were still in shock and did not come back to their senses.
That's the second assistant of the dignified cabinet, the great bachelor of the court! Xu Liang actually asked Tsing Yi Wei to forcibly pour medicinal soup, although it was to cure Xu Ge's illness, but this kind of compulsion and offense, how can ordinary people do it? !
Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian both looked at Xu Liang in shock.
Xu Liang snorted lightly, "This is all Xu Ge's self-inflicted finding!" ”
"Then, that's the second assistant......" Wang Xian exclaimed in a trembling voice.
Xu Liang ignored Wang Xian's fuss, and sternly warned the two before leaving: "Did you also hear what I said to Tsing Yiwei?" If you block it, don't blame me for turning his face and not recognizing people! ”
Yu Dazhong and Wang Xian's hearts were slightly shocked, and they hurriedly arched their hands and said: "Brother Xu, don't worry, we support Brother Xu." ”
In Xu Ge Lao's room, poor Xu Ge Lao was held down by two Tsing Yi guards and couldn't move. was forced to pour more than a dozen mouthfuls of medicinal soup by the captain of the Tsing Yi Guard Garrison, and he was coughing vigorously, when he saw the captain holding another bowl of gruel in his hand, and looked at Xu Ge Lao with a smile.
Then he stepped forward, grinning with his mouth and moving his hand slightly, and scooped a spoonful of gruel like jelly, and in Xu Ge Lao's constantly enlarged eyes, he stretched out straight towards Xu Ge Lao.
Elder Xu Ge cursed Xu Liang in his heart thousands of times at this moment.
"Xu Liang, bastard! Do you still have me as a cabinet minister in your eyes!! Xu Ge scolded angrily in his heart, scolding over and over again. (To be continued.) )
