Chapter Fifty-Seven: Shameful Life?
After getting the support of Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin, Zeng Zhilin began to ponder the action plan with one mind. And Xu Shaoan changed the topic and asked: "Fifth brother, seventh brother, it's been dark for a long time, why hasn't the eighteenth sister come back yet, can't there be something wrong?" ”
Wang Kunjun shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Eighteen sister, she was taken into the palace by the queen's mother to play, there shouldn't be any problems." I guess the queen mother left her in the palace to eat again, so she hasn't come back yet. ”
"Yes, in Kaifeng City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could something happen to the eighteenth sister as a guest of the queen's mother" Zhang Weixin also comforted, "Let's wait patiently for a while, maybe she will come back soon." ”
Although Xu Shaoan was a little worried about Lin Xiaoyu, with his identity, it was impossible for him to go to the palace to find someone, so he had to wait patiently with Wang and Zhang.
Everyone waited until the end of the day (nearly nine o'clock in the evening) before Lin Xiaoyu returned to the small courtyard accompanied by Yicheng. Seeing her come back, Xu Shaoan was the first to come forward to say hello, and asked her what she had done in the palace this afternoon.
The actual situation is similar to what Wang Kunjun guessed, Lin Xiaoyu first accompanied Queen Fu to visit the festive imperial garden in the palace, and then returned to the palace to chat for a while about women's maintenance, skin care, and dressing. zuihou, the hospitable Empress Fu is still like last time, and Liulin Xiaoyu has a meal in the palace. Judging from Lin Xiaoyu's expression when she spoke, she and Queen Fu got along very well this afternoon. If this trend continues, the two are likely to become close friends.
However, it was precisely because they talked very happily and got along well, so when talking about Queen Fu's body, Lin Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! To say that although this Empress Fu is a queen, because Chai Rong advocates frugality, her daily diet and daily life are not much better than those ordinary wealthy families. In addition, she hurt her vitality when she gave birth, so her health has not been very good until now. I have had some medical skills with Xue Shen, and I know that this kind of deficiency of qi and blood can not be cured in a short time, but requires a long period of recuperation. Moreover, this conditioning should be adjusted frequently according to the patient's condition.
But I'm not a doctor, even if I can often go to her to check her pulse and see a doctor, Chai Rong, the advice I gave and the prescription I prescribed, may not dare to let her do it. Second, although those imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital are proficient in medical skills, they are all men after all, and it is impossible for them to get along with Empress Fu for a long time like me and learn more about the subtle changes in her body, and it is impossible for Empress Fu to tell them some too private feelings. In the end, these doctors can only treat the head and feet, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. It's a pity that we won't stay in Kaifeng for long, otherwise, I would have liked to persuade Chai Rong to let me help his wife recuperate. ”
"As the saying goes, a good 'doctor is benevolent', it seems that the eighteenth sister is really a competent and good doctor," Zhang Weixin said with emotion, "In fact, this Empress Fu is also a legendary figure." Her father's name is Fu Yanqing, who was a high-ranking official in the Later Jin Dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty, and was even named the King of Wei in the Later Zhou and Northern Song Dynasties, which can be regarded as a tumbler-like figure. On the one hand, this is because this person is practical and can be a person, and on the other hand, because his daughters are more powerful, so that there are three Fu queens among the sisters, the largest of which is the one we see now, because she is the oldest, so she is generally called the big Fu queen. One of her younger sisters married Chai Rong after her death and continued to be the empress, known as Empress Xiaofu. Her other, younger sister married Zhao Guangyi, and later after Zhao Guangyi became emperor, she was also posthumously named empress.
Empress Dafu was originally the wife of Li Chongxun, the son of Li Shouzhen, the envoy of the Later Han River, but later Li Shouzhen rebelled and was wiped out by the army led by Guo Wei, the general of the Later Han Dynasty at that time, and Li Chongxun committed suicide. Because Guo Wei and Fu Yanqing were old friends, they sent Queen Fu back to her parents' house who survived. According to the records in the history books, the reason why Li Shouzhen rebelled was because a warlock said that Empress Dafu was the mother of the world, so Li Shouzhen thought that he could be the emperor, so he rebelled. It's a pity that what he didn't expect was that the person who made Queen Dafu the mother of the world was not him and his son, but Chai Rong. ,
Moreover, it is also recorded in the history books that the Empress Dafu behaved quite calmly and calmly at that time, not only dodging Li Chongxun's self-destruction of his family, but also after the counterinsurgency soldiers entered her home, she could sit in the lobby with a serious expression, and warned the soldiers that she was the daughter of Guo Wei's old friend and should not make trouble for her.
Later, Queen Dafu, who returned to her mother's house, thanked Guo Wei for his kindness and worshiped Guo Wei as her father-in-law. And, because of this relationship, he met Guo Wei's adopted son Chai Rong. Chai Rong was shocked when he heard her story, and after his original wife died, he married Queen Dafu as his wife. When Chai Rong himself became the emperor, his legendary lady was naturally named the queen.
However, as the eighteenth sister just said, although Queen Dafu is a queen, she is afraid that she is really not as good as ordinary rich and noble families in terms of pleasure. In addition, Chai Rong is a short-tempered person, and she, who is a wife, must not only serve carefully, but also comfort her in a timely manner, which is really difficult for her. ”
Lin Xiaoyu's knowledge of history is quite limited, and before that, she only paid attention to Empress Fu's physical condition out of the nature of a doctor and her concern for her friends. But Zhang Weixin's recounting made her full of curiosity about everything about Queen Fu.
However, out of the habit of a doctor, she was most concerned about the other party's body, so she hurriedly asked: "Seventh brother, since you are so familiar with history books, do you know when and how our Empress Fu died?" ”
Looking at the look of expectation and worry in Lin Xiaoyu's eyes, Zhang Weixin couldn't help but hesitate. Because in his memory, this Empress Dafu was a short-lived queen. In the next year, that is, in the third year of Xiande, she had to accompany her husband to the southern Tang because she failed to dissuade Chai Rong from conquering the Southern Tang Dynasty. As a result, because of the hot weather and heavy rain during the period, she couldn't afford to get sick because of her body, and she died in the seventh month of the lunar calendar of that year.
Zhang Weixin was 100% sure that he was not mistaken, but it was precisely because he was not wrong that he hesitated whether to tell Lin Xiaoyu the truth. In his opinion, through these two contacts, Lin Xiaoyu has regarded this Empress Dafu as a good friend. If I tell her the records in the history books, I can't guarantee that she won't do anything unexpected. For example, persuading Empress Fu not to follow Chai Rong to the south, such as saying something that should not be said in front of Empress Fu and even Chai Rong, and so on.
However, if he didn't tell her this information, once history really developed as written in the book, and Empress Fu died of illness a few months later, then this eighteenth sister would definitely not give up with her. With Lin Xiaoyu's current favor in the team - because of the previous emotional setbacks, Lin Xiaoyu has become the extremely favored sister Lin of all the female traversers in the team, and the husbands of these female traversers can't help but follow along with the pet, I am afraid that I will "not be able to eat and walk around" at that time.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Weixin finally decided to answer Lin Xiaoyu's question truthfully in the spirit of "dead friends, not dead poor friends". After a moment of silence, he said, "Eighteenth sister, if I'm not mistaken, this Great Fu Empress didn't live long, it seems that she only lived for more than twenty years. According to historical records, she should have been seriously ill in the next year, that is, when Xiande accompanied Chai Rong to the south in the third year, and died not long after returning to Kaifeng, probably in July of the lunar calendar. ”
Hearing that Empress Fu was likely to die of illness in July of next year, Lin Xiaoyu didn't know what to say for a while. She couldn't figure out how such a good woman who was both gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous, and full of legend could be so short-lived, is this the so-called "red face and thin life"? If that's the case, then God is too unfair. Lin Xiaoyu complained in his heart about the blind God, and wondered if he should find an opportunity to remind this good woman and ask her not to follow Chai Rong to the south.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyu's mood was a little wrong, and the expression on her face was uncertain, Zhang Weixin was afraid that she would do something stupid in a hurry, so he hurriedly comforted: "Eighteen sister, don't worry." What I am talking about is the history of the past life recorded in the history books, and it may not be the same result in this time and space. Since all of us can cross time and space to come to this era, what else can't happen?
If nothing else, let's talk about the matter of giving firearms to Chai Rong and the method of making them. If he had been able to build firearms, especially artillery, as soon as possible, the outcome of the southern expedition might not have been as recorded in the history books, and due to limited progress, he had to withdraw his troops when the rainy season came. And it is entirely possible that it will become a breakthrough all the way, end the war before the rainy season arrives, and return the class. In this way, Empress Fu will not die of illness due to the weather. ”,
"Lao Qi is right," Wang Kunjun said with relief, "The things recorded in the history books of the previous life can only be used as a reference. With our arrival, the history of this time and space has undergone a small deviation, to paraphrase an advertising slogan, 'anything is possible'. ”
"That's it, that's it," Xu Shaoan also persuaded on the side, "The fifth brother and the seventh brother are right. Don't be cranky because of a sentence in the history books of your past life, the outcome of the matter is likely to be exactly the opposite of what is written in the book. ”
In the following hour, Wang, Zhang, and Xu took turns to do work for Lin Xiaoyu, and it took a lot of words to make Lin Xiaoyu no longer entangled in this problem. During this period, Zhang Weixin also specially reminded Lin Xiaoyu that she should not show any unusual emotions in front of Empress Fu no matter what, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to herself and the entire "delegation".
Although Lin Xiaoyu is very sympathetic to Queen Fu, she is usually willful in the team, but she is still measured on important issues. Coupled with Wang Kunjun's explanation, she said that she would keep Zhang Weixin's reminder in mind and would never say anything that should not be said in front of Queen Fu.
Wang Kunjun and the others were also relieved to see that Lin Xiaoyu had finally put this matter down. Seeing that it was getting late, he asked Lin Xiaoyu to go back to his room to rest.
Coaxed Lin Xiaoyu away, Wang Kunjun and the other three asked Lu Yue to set up a radio station and have a routine call with the "Liangyuan". After the two sides informed each other of each other's situation, Wang Kunjun told Zeng Zhilin and Xu Shaoan about their proposal to conduct actual combat training, and asked Li Junwu for his opinion.
Lee Jun-wu also expressed support for the suggestion, and said that he would convey the proposal to other members of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Security, so that they can start gathering relevant information from now on to prepare for future operations.
After finishing the business, Li Junwu chatted with Wang Kunjun and others about the various preparations made by the team for the New Year, and praised Zhang Xiaofei for her hard work, and then ended the call.
