Chapter Ninety-Nine: Looking Back Again
Time slowly turns to the evening.
Emperor Jianxi had been asleep all afternoon, and he barely touched the lunch brought by Huang Chongde.
Huang Chongde still did the usual thing, removing and replacing the meals when they were warm, so that Emperor Jianxi could immediately put off his chopsticks whenever he woke up and had an appetite.
When Huang Chongde came over with dinner again, he found that Emperor Jianxi had woken up.
The Emperor blinked slowly, looking at the Zhou-Jin map in front of him and was silent for a long time.
"Your Majesty, since you're awake, come down and take a walk." Huang Chongde said softly.
Qiu Shi, who was not far away, cautiously glanced at Emperor Jianxi's reaction, only to see that he closed his eyes and muttered for a moment, but still stretched out his hand to Huang Chongde and motioned for him to help himself up.
Qiu Shi couldn't help but sigh softly.
I feel that the errand service in this Heart Cultivation Palace has been getting more and more difficult to do recently, and the sick emperor is irritable many times more than before, and only Huang Gonggong can still be as light as before.
is even urging Emperor Jianxi to go down to the ground like now......
"If you don't go out, I'll help me to the front of the map and take a look." Emperor Jianxi said softly.
Huang Chongde responded gently.
Qiu Shi also looked at the map in front of Emperor Jianxi's eyes - this map was placed in the Heart Cultivation Hall day and night, and even Qiu Shi himself was familiar with it.
"If I'm not mistaken, Huang Chongde...... You're from Jingzhou, right? β
Emperor Jianxi's fingertips raised slightly, pointing to the northernmost territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is now the place where Changsheng and the Arslan Department are facing each other day and night.
"Yes," Huang Chongde nodded, "The slave maid entered the palace late, and when she was almost twenty, she met the first emperor and returned to Beijing with her." β
"I calculate ......" Emperor Jianxi squinted slightly, "The four northern states, I went to Yanzhou when I was in the tenth year of Jianxi, twenty-one years after Jianxi, and then went to Fuzhou farther away, and Zhuozhou in the thirty-fourth year of Jianxi...... It seems that I haven't been to Jingzhou before. β
Huang Chongde smiled slightly, "Jingzhou is cold after all, it snows every year from October, until April of the following year, it is cold and snowy, and there are often gold people haunting, and there is really nothing to go to." β
"Why is there nothing to go," Emperor Jianxi snorted, "...... In the spring of the north, Jingzhou Mansion should be the most of the four states. β
Huang Chongde seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then lowered his eyes and smiled, "The emperor really knows everything...... The slave still remembers the scene when she was a child. Over the years, I have been to many places with the emperor, and I have indeed never seen a better spring scene than Jingzhou Mansion. β
"Is it," Emperor Jianxi said lightly, "What's so special?" β
Huang Chongde thought for a long time, "The slave is stupid, and she can't say a good-looking truth, maybe there are only two."
"Jingzhou is not as good as Jiangnan, and in winter, there is really no other good color except for gray-green and gray-green pines and cypresses.
"The whole world has been frozen so white for half a year, and suddenly spring begins, the ice melts and the snow melts, and the whole world suddenly turns red, which is really thrilling to watch;
"Then the spring days are short, and Jingzhou is the beginning of spring and autumn, and there will be a few rains. This flower and grass pressed for a winter, but also can bloom for such a small half a month, if it happens to encounter a wind and rain, three or five days will be scattered.
So the slave maid felt that the flowers everywhere were not like the flowers in Jingzhou - they were all flowers that bloomed with a lot of strength and gritted teeth, and they bloomed ...... But it's more real. β
Huang Chongde spoke slowly, and Qiu Shi on the side was fascinated by what he heard.
Emperor Jianxi, he glanced at Qiu Shi and said in a low voice, "Look at your master...... Blowing out all the flowers in his hometown, and saying that he was stupid. β
Qiu Shi smiled, "The slave maid has never seen snow when she was a child, but when she entered the palace, she saw snow for the first time, which made the slave and maid ......so excited."
Emperor Jianxi raised his eyebrows slightly, "...... your family?" β
"The slave is from Yuezhou." Qiu Shi said with a smile, "It's warm in our place, even on a cold day, many people go out in single clothes, and the rice in the field can be harvested three times a year, and basically no snow falls......"
Emperor Jianxi responded in a low voice, "um", Qiu Shi originally wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly felt that Emperor Jianxi's face seemed to be bad again, so he was silenced at the right time, and stood there with an obedient expression.
Emperor Jianxi only felt a sudden surge of anger in his heart.
The vastness of the Great Zhou is here.
The severe cold and frost in the north will blow for half a year, and the people of the south may not see a goose feather snow in their lifetime......
His gaze turned to the north of Da Zhou again, and he couldn't help frowning.
-- That's the 5,200-mile border between Zhou and Jin.
"Your Majesty?" Huang Chongde whispered from the sideβhe noticed Emperor Jianxi's breathing gradually thickening, and the side face that suddenly turned pale.
Emperor Jianxi's breathing was indeed becoming rapid, and all the reports of the northern frontier for days suddenly flooded into his mindβthe thousand-mile-long border heralded some kind of irrepressible rout, and the storm of an entire kingdom seemed to be imminent......
Until the 20th year of Jianxi, everything was still thriving.
He practiced the will of the first emperor and truly completed the recovery of the lost territory of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty......
What have you been doing in the past 20 years?
Emperor Jianxi suddenly felt that his heart was slightly hot, and there was a sudden unbearable dry itch in his throat-
"Your Majesty!"
A mouthful of blood coughed up in the hinterland of the Great Zhou on the map, and Emperor Jianxi's whole person fell backwards with all his strength.
"Doctor Chuan!! Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!! β
β¦β¦
In the evening, Bai Yi had once again personally examined the wounds of those patients.
He found someone to give a wooden crutch to one of the patients, who was walking slowly in the courtyard with the help of his apprentice.
The other three were also accompanied by their own people, sitting in the courtyard.
- This is also Bai Yi's order, don't blindly lie on the bed, you need to go to the ground every day, otherwise the wound will not grow well.
Now, nearly half a month has passed, and the four civilians who had been slashed by homeless people with knives and axes seem to be out of danger.
None of their wounds were miraculously re-infected β a miracle that Bai Yi could only dismiss as a blessing, even in the age of antibiotics.
"Kashiwa...... Master Kashiwa! Suddenly, a voice came from outside the courtyard, "They ...... Here they are again. β
Bai Yi turned around and saw that the young apprentice he had sent to register for the next month in the afternoon was standing at the door.
He said softly, "It's General Shen's people?" β
"Yes!" The young apprentice gasped, "I just saw from a distance on the way back, Imperial Doctor Zhang was talking to them, I thought about it, so I hurried back to talk to Master Bai......
"Is it the same two people as last time?"
"Yes." The apprentice nodded.
"That's fine, if there are too many people, you have to stop it." Bai Yi said softly, "If they want to see it, let them see it, and urge them to do a good job of disinfection." β
Seeing that Bai Yi didn't seem to be nervous at all, the apprentice also breathed a sigh of relief, he let out an "oh" and reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
"Then I'll go change my clothes first, Master Bai!"
"Go ahead." Bai Yi said softly.
The apprentices in the courtyard also listened to these words, and one of them suddenly spoke, "Master Bai, why do they come every day?" β
