Chapter 115: Sickness Comes
Li Yuntong didn't expect that the number spell she learned from Min Jian would be used on her own for the first time.
Soon after leaving Tuyuhun, she fell ill, and the day after arriving at the Yushu Palace, it was only a small illness with some qi deficiency, but it was menacing, and it became a sickness, and later it was even useless.
Although along the way from Chang'an, there are constantly people who fall ill due to environmental changes and water and soil conditions, and even a few who can't afford to fall ill and return to the west......
Fortunately, Li Yuntong likes to dance with knives and sticks since she was a child, although she has not become a master, but her physical foundation is relatively good, even in the Chiling avalanche, standing in the snow for so long, she only drank two bowls of ginger soup, sweated, and continued to dance the next day.
So at the beginning, when she felt a little headache, she didn't take it to heart, and this trip to Tibet, not only with a large number of Buddha statues, medicinal materials, books, mules and horses, tools, seeds, etc., but also a huge baggage, a large number of people in the entourage, in order not to delay the trip, she did not say anything, so she found the accompanying doctor to prescribe some medicine, boiled and drank.
The more she went west, the higher the terrain, her headache, insomnia, loss of appetite, tiredness, difficulty breathing and other symptoms became more and more serious.
Because Li Yuntong was waiting for Songtsan Gampo to marry in the Yushu Palace, in addition to Lu Dongzan and his personal entourage, the other Tubo envoys had already rushed back to Luo with their guards.
After the doctors of the Tang Dynasty were helpless, Lu Dongzan brought a Lang Zhong who stayed in the palace to help heal.
There is no way to stay in the palace, and this Tubo Langzhong is no exception, on weekdays, that is, to see the small problems of the sergeants, servants and the surrounding people who stay in the palace, and he can't cure major diseases.
"Princess, this is altitude sickness...... It's a very serious altitude sickness......" After a long day of diagnosis, Tubo Langzhong said hesitantly.
He hesitated not because he couldn't judge Li Yuntong's illness, but because there was no good way to treat altitude sickness at this point.
Lu Dongzan listened, and his heart was also cold.
He had seen someone fall asleep and lose his breath because of altitude sickness, and he closed his eyes and never opened them again.
Yushu is the highest place in Qinghai, and if Li Yuntong can't even adapt to the climate here, it is impossible to go up to Luo.
He said in a deep voice, "No matter what method you use, you have to wake up the princess and let her take the medicine." ”
Li Yuntong was groggy, she seemed to know everything, and it seemed like everything was separated from her.
Inside and outside the palace, guards and craftsmen carried, carried, and carried boxes, all kinds of farm tools, and tools...... The palace maid and the little yellow door carried the lighter items, and entered in order according to the arrangements of the generals, officials and female officials, and put them in the corresponding room where the men and things were placed in the palace.
Outside, the sounds of people, horses, donkeys, and cows mooing all together, making this cold and silent palace very lively, and the noise is endless.
And these bustles have nothing to do with her.
She was like a cold-eyed bystander, watching their noise, watching them laugh, watching the joyful flying dogs jumping.
She felt so tired, so tired that she wanted to go to sleep, and she wanted to never wake up again.
In this way, she no longer has to take on the responsibilities of her body, and she does not have to marry the strange Songtsen Gampo.
In the past, she had also dreamed of what a king with such a clever courtier as Lu Dongzan would look like, and along the way, after obtaining some things about their Zanpu from the mouths of the Tibetan people, that little girl's imagination of her future husband was completely wiped out.
Not to mention that she now has a shadow of a person in her heart.
Although it is not very enthusiastic, the faint shadow is seared in my mind, and I dare to think about it in the dead of night.
She didn't want to have one person in her heart, but she wanted to marry someone else's wife.
She wanted to forget, she couldn't forget that she didn't want to wake up before, she didn't want to marry that Songtsen Gampo.
Besides, Songtsen Gampo was ten years older than her, and had three concubines, a Nepalese princess, and I heard that there were two noble daughters who married him as concubines, and a ten-year-old son and two daughters......
The big family is lively, she went, what is it?
Someone has already made his bones in front of her, flesh in flesh, she goes, she is a woman who wants to rob her husband with others, and share some scraps, even if she has the identity of the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but in this place where the mountains are high and the sky is far away, how good can her identity be as a princess?
Along the way, didn't those Tubo people disobey her?
Even the deputy envoy Gongtun had to be guided by her to find the servant who was going to murder him, and he showed her a little more respect from the bottom of his heart.
This illness, Li Yuntong's usual refusal to admit defeat, not discouraged, and the desire to think about everything is good.
What responsibility, what Tang Fan friendship, what peace and harmony, what does it have to do with her? She felt pain in her chest even to catch her breath.
She just wanted to get a good night's sleep, not to care about anything, not to think about anything.
……
Songtsen Gampo's attendant Baji entered the king's tent, and after saluting respectfully, he said with some excitement: "Zampu, Lord Sambuza has returned, and he has brought a gift from the Tang Dynasty princess to you. ”
Songtsen Gampo, who was fighting against the people, raised his head, but ignored Baji, his eyes still resting on the rectangular stone chessboard in front of him.
There are two stone troughs at both ends of the stone plate, where black and white jade chess pieces are placed, and a small grid is carved in the center of the stone, and various patterns such as "swastika" are carved on both sides for decoration.
Sitting opposite Songtsen Gampo was a middle-aged man in his forties, he stroked the goatee on his chin and said: "Zampu is really talented and intelligent, but after studying for half a year, this chess power has become more and more sophisticated, treacherous and changeable, so that the lower officials are unable to guard against it, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the lower officials will not be able to let it." ”
Songtsen Gampo smiled, "The main thing is that this Tang chess has a lot in common with ours, and after meeting it, it will be all the same." ”
He seemed to have just seen Baji standing aside, and nodded, "Let Sambuza come in." ”
Sambuza was already waiting in the side tent, and after hearing the summons, he walked in quickly and said, "...... The ministers were fortunate not to be dishonored, and this time they went to Datang to marry the princess, and they have successfully returned. ”
Songtsen Gampo asked with concern, "Datang is far away from the high road of Tubo Mountain, you have worked hard." How was it, did you take a break when you came back? In the evening, the king asked the people to prepare wine and feast for you to receive the wind and wash the dust. ”
After listening to Songtsen Gampo's greeting, Sambuza's anxiety when he was waiting before was swept away, and he said with some emotion: "This is what the ministers should do." Because I thought that Zampu was looking forward to the news, I just freshened up a little, changed my clothes and came over. ”
After thinking about it, he looked at his young and handsome, tall and straight, tough and resolute Zampu and said, "The minister came back this time and brought Zampu a gift from the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Oh, what is it? Show it to the king. Songtsen Gampo asked with interest.
Sambuza clapped his hands, and the two servants who followed him brought up the long box in their hands.
When I opened the long box, there was a painting scroll inside.
After the scroll is unfolded, the characters in the painting are revealed one by one.
"This is the scene of the meeting between the prime minister and the Tian Khan, the marriage envoy of the other five countries of the great minister six victories, finally won the competition, the Mengtian Khan married the princess to Tubo, and summoned him alone...... This painting was originally made by Yan Liben, the Chinese book of the Tang Dynasty, and the original painting was collected in the Tang Dynasty, and the princess copied this painting and sent it to Zampu, saying that you must want to see it......"
Songtsen Gampo looked at the painting carefully, on the picture scroll, sitting on the chariot carried by the six palace maids, obviously the Tian Khan of the Tang Dynasty, looking at the eyebrows and soothing, the eyes are wise, confident and majestic, under the step, there are several palace maids clustered left and right, or holding a canopy or holding a fan, with a relaxed expression.
The one in the painting wearing the Tibetan bead-patterned robe is Lu Dongzan, but he is painted a little short, probably to set off the majesty of the Son of Heaven, he is bowing his hand to the Heavenly Khan, and the other two men are slightly restrained......
The whole painting clothes and utensils are outlined and analyzed, and the expressions and demeanors of the characters on it are lifelike, quite charming, and the colors of the whole volume are thick and pure, staggered and distinct...... He didn't know how good the original painting was, but this one was already very good.
Unexpectedly, she would give herself such a gift.
Songtsen Gampo laughed, "This gift is good, this gift is good, the princess of the Tang Dynasty is extraordinary, this princess Wencheng is so talented at a young age, she has such a talent......
……
Princess Wencheng was about to arrive in Tibet, and Zampu liked her gift very much and praised her...... These news are like having wings, but in half a day, the top and bottom of the Tibetan harem have been spread all over the place.
The women of Songtsen Gampo talked about it.
"Sister, why does Princess Wencheng look like this? Before the people came, they hooked Zampu in a daze, and I saw that in this royal city in the future, everyone will respect her in the future. The youngest Amur, who was only seventeen years old, from a noble family, had been married to Songtsen Gampo for less than two years, and was so fond of him that he could not help but be the first to complain.
"Even if she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, if she marries us in Tubo, she has to abide by the rules of Tubo, no matter what, there must be a first come, first come, right? Even if you don't give us a gift, you should prepare one for your sister, she behaves like this, it is clear that she doesn't take you seriously, and when she comes, you have to set rules for her. ”
The sister Amur shouted was the princess of Momeng Chizun in Tibet, and among the women of Songtsen Gampo, Chizun was the most noble because of her status, and the women circled around her intentionally or unintentionally.
"She is a princess of the Tang Dynasty, of course, she only thinks about preparing gifts for Zampu, where will she worry about us people!" Yang Tongsa (Xiangxiong, known as Yang Tong in ancient times, Sa is the meaning of concubine) Letoman said sourly.
