Chapter 347 Uninvited Guest
Thinking of those who have lost their language after a stroke in later generations, some of them can still recover part of their language function through retraining.
My situation is somewhat similar to theirs, and maybe I can do it.
He used his pen to communicate with Dou Yun, who was naturally very supportive, so the two of them studied in detail how to train the language function.
The loss of language function caused by damage to the cerebellum like his obviously cannot be equated with a child's babbling.
After all, the child is just an incomplete vocal cord, and he is completely due to a stiff tongue.
How to train the flexibility of the tongue is the key.
According to the principle of muscle physiotherapy, where there is stiffness or atrophy, targeted training is carried out.
Liu Zhi's tongue was almost paralyzed, and even chewing was affected, so he could only eat liquid food.
Therefore, his tongue cannot be exercised on its own at all, and can only be trained passively with the help of others.
For this reason, Dou Yun locked himself in his room and devoted himself to studying the best way to exercise.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Ji County ushered in an unexpected visitor, a middle-aged man knelt in front of the door in the dust, crying bitterly.
When Liu Zhi heard the report, he was also a little surprised, so he immediately brought him over.
Seeing the haggard, wrinkled face in front of him, as if he was already forty or fifty years old, Liu Zhi was a little surprised.
"As soon as the slave maid heard that Jun Shang was sick, it was really like five thunderbolts, and she immediately set off to rush this way...... Woowoo woo ......"
The person who came was Zhang Rang, an inner servant who had not been seen for many years, who was implicated in his brother's case and was driven back to his hometown by Liu Zhi.
There has been no news for several years, although Liu Zhi does not allow him to return to the capital, he has been with him since he was a child, how can he say that he can break it.
So he also found an excuse to reward him with several times of wealth, so that he would not be poor in the countryside, and he came for fear that he would be bullied.
Zhang Rang's parents and family were ruthless, unrighteous and selfish people, and they sold him for rations when he was a child.
Later, he was powerful and blessed by him, and he didn't think too much about him from the beginning to the end.
Obviously, he was affected by his family, but his parents blamed him for failing to save his younger brother, causing the Zhang family to cut off the incense.
Therefore, he was resentful of him in every way, so Liu Zhicai was worried that he would have a hard time after returning to the countryside.
Now that he is haggard and haggard, it seems that his worries have come true, and Zhang Rang should be very sad at home.
Liu Zhi couldn't speak, so he could only make a gesture to get him up, Zhang Rang didn't feel it at first, but he cried for a long time, and he didn't see Liu Zhi say a word.
It didn't look like he was angry with him, so he finally understood, his eyes were red, and even his voice was choked.
"Your Majesty, your voice ......"
There was no way, Liu Zhi had no choice but to write on the paper again, "It's just that I can't speak for the time being, it's okay, it's okay to live for a while." ”
I asked him when he started going out, and I heard that he left in the last few days of the year, and I couldn't help but be a little moved.
This Zhang Rang, it seems that even the New Year is on the way, in fact, from beginning to end, Liu Zhi has never doubted Zhang Rang's feelings for him.
It's just that he had a preconceived idea that Zhang Rang was a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people, but he forgot that history has long changed, and all the established characters in the annals of history may change.
"Since you're here, don't go back, stay here and take care of me."
After so many years of silence and reflection, I believe that Zhang Rang will inevitably be different.
"Your Majesty......"
Zhang Rang cried with joy, and pounced directly in excitement and hugged his legs.
Seeing him so excited, Liu Zhi was also a little sad, "Okay, don't cry, go clean up, and we'll talk slowly when we get back." ”
Zhang Rang nodded tearfully and went down obediently, Liu Zhi thought about it, and asked people to send him the clothes of Zhonghuangmen.
The punishment of these years is enough, and even for his friendship with him, he can't be wronged too much.
After all, in the palace, it is a common phenomenon to worship high and step on low, and if Zhang Rang's status is too low, his life will be very difficult.
Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Rang, who had freshly washed, came over to thank him for his kindness.
Although he has been separated for several years, Zhang Rang has never forgotten his various little habits, and he served Liu Zhi properly as soon as he got started, and he felt very comfortable.
The two sat together and chatted, although Liu Zhi could only speak with a pen, but it did not hinder the communication between them.
After all, they have been together for more than ten years, so they are very familiar with each other's speaking styles.
Soon Liu Zhi found that Zhang Rang was still a little different.
He had just crossed that time, and Zhang Rang couldn't read a single big character, and he was completely blind. After entering the palace, Liu Zhi urged him to study in order to make him sensible.
But Zhang Rang was not interested in reading and reading at all, and although he could barely recognize all the words in the end, he really couldn't learn the content of other books.
Liu Zhi was not too reluctant, so Zhang Rang's cultural level could only be said to barely recognize some words.
But when he came back this time, he found that there had been a significant change, Zhang Rang had obviously read some books, although he was not very level, but at least he was out of the illiterate class.
With Zhang Rang's former character, this really surprised Liu Zhi very much.
After asking, I found out that Zhang Rang had been depressed every day since he returned to his hometown, so he locked himself in the house to sleep.
In the end, everyone was almost useless, and if it weren't for his father and mother worrying that His Majesty would think of him in the future, he would probably starve to death in the house.
In fact, he himself has always held on to this ethereal hope, and this belief has supported him to live.
Later, because he had nothing to do, he remembered that His Majesty had always asked him to study more, so he went to the private school teacher in the village to borrow some books to read.
At first, it was purely to pass the time, but as the days went by, he slowly became in.
So in the past few years, the paper has been passed by reading books, which are the books that the private school teachers in the village do not have any advanced books, they are all ordinary enlightenment readings.
So later, he secretly saved some money and went to the county to buy a set of eliminated bamboo versions of the Four Books and Five Classics, relying on this set of books, he finished the next few years.
Liu Zhi was a little sad when he heard this, patted him on the shoulder and wrote, "It's good to read the book, how are your parents now?" ”
Zhang Rang told him that his parents were no longer there, and now he was alone all his life.
Although his parents were greedy for profit, they never treated Zhang Rang sincerely, after all, they were also his last relatives.
With Zhang Rang's intimate company, Liu Zhi felt that he was recovering faster, especially walking more and more smoothly.
Two days later, Dou Yun summed up his tongue training method and ran to Liu Zhi to discuss with him.
"Your Majesty, the old minister felt that he used a cotton swab to press his tongue to move up and down, left and right, and then his tongue was against the roof of his mouth, and the tongue curled for training.
Do this two or three times a day, depending on the situation, whether you need to increase the amount, and when Your Majesty is able to exercise himself, try not to let people help. ”
It sounds very simple, but it is Dou Yun who has simplified the complex and carefully selected it from more than a dozen actions.
Anyway, the way it is now, no matter what the method, you have to try it to know if it works.
So with the assistance of Zhang Rang, Liu Zhi carried out tongue rehabilitation training every day.
It's easy to say, his tongue is almost paralyzed, and every time he uses a cotton swab to pluck it, because he keeps his mouth open, the saliva in his mouth will involuntarily flow out, and he looks very embarrassed.
A few days later, a minister suggested that Liu Zhi return to Beijing to recuperate.
In fact, according to his current health condition, he can indeed go back, but Liu Zhi doesn't want his embarrassed appearance to be seen by everyone.
So he instructed, go to Henan Yin first, then you are very close to Beijing, and you are only a day's journey on a fast horse.
In this way, even if there is something in the Jingshi, you can come to him for instructions without delay.
Moreover, the conditions of Henan Yin are much stronger than those of Ji County, and there is even a palace there, which is also very convenient to live.
The group moved forward slowly, and at the end of the first month, they came to Henan Yin.
As soon as Liu Hua heard that his father was back, he rushed over with his son.
This time, after walking at the moment of life and death, and seeing his daughter and grandson again, Liu Zhi was particularly emotional.
Finding that his father couldn't speak, Liu Hua, who had always been strong, threw himself into his arms and cried like a child.
Liu Zhi silently let her vent, in the month of Layue, the situation in the capital was so critical, but he put a thousand catties of heavy burden on her as a weak woman.
Presumably the pressure in her heart is great enough these days, and only in front of her father will she take off her strong shell and become the princess who is pampered again.
Yuan Xu, Chen Fan and other ministers also came to Henan Yin one after another to listen to his instructions.
Of course, he didn't hide his aphasia from the ministers, and he couldn't hide it anyway.
Of course, the external rhetoric is only to say that the sequelae after the operation, the aphasia is temporary, and it will slowly recover in the future.
As long as His Majesty is still alive and healthy, with his prestige, even if he really becomes a mute, it will not have much impact on the government.
This turmoil did not really start out, so it had no impact on the economy of the capital and other aspects.
Therefore, the recovery is also very fast, and now in Luoyang City, there is no longer any atmosphere of riot and sadness.
The courtiers performed their duties, and since no other officials followed Du Mi's rebellion, only the Gyeonggi Province soldiers and horses were liquidated afterwards, and there was no impact on the establishment of the imperial court.
Overall, the unrest may seem dangerous, but it is not very destructive.
After listening to their reports, Liu Zhi was very pleased, it seems that he has been committed to reforming the imperial court system over the years, and it is still very effective at a critical moment.
Seeing that His Majesty planned to live in Henan Yin to recuperate for a period of time, the ministers were also very considerate of his hardships, and none of them raised objections.
On the contrary, he also wanted to improve the conditions of Yin Xinggong in Henan for Liu Zhi and make him live more comfortably.
However, Liu Zhi has always been thrifty and does not like to waste money and labor, and this year is the twenty-second year since he ascended the throne.
During this period, he never expanded any palace, and as for his own people, according to the system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, construction has been started since the first day of his accession to the throne.
However, even after the country became rich and strong, it did not expand the specifications, and it was still built according to the most basic configuration.
A few years ago, his mausoleum had been successfully completed, and many ministers thought it was too simple after visiting it.
The funeral system of the Han Dynasty paid attention to serving death as life, and the structure of the mausoleum was completely a miniature imperial palace.
Liu Zhi's own mind doesn't attach much importance to these, no matter how magnificent the construction is, thousands of years later, they have become cultural relics in the museum.
As for whether his soul is still there, that's not something he should think about.
Therefore, no matter how much the ministers tried to persuade him, he insisted on his opinion and did not expand his mausoleum.
For this reason, the people of the world praise him very much for his thoughtful heart and praise him as a benevolent and righteous king.
So this time is no exception, Liu Zhi still refused the request to expand the palace, as he is now, he can't even eat anything, let alone other enjoyment.
Soon, the ministers put forward a proposal to establish a prince, and a number of officials jointly wrote a letter, which shows that they were also frightened by this emergency.
Liu Zhi himself also had this intention, so he proposed to canonize his eldest son Liu Jin as the crown prince and enter the East Palace.
This proposal was not met with any opposition, and it was easily passed, and Liu Zhi arranged for Empress Deng Meng to send Liu Jin back to Luoyang, the capital division.
He also wrote to the crown prince Zheng Xuan, asking him to carefully teach Liu Jin with the specifications of the crown prince, and asked Xun Shuang to serve as the prince's young master and be jointly responsible for his education.
As for Liu Yu, the second son, Liu Zhi was also canonized as the king of Xiangyang and temporarily lived in the capital.
Among the county kings of the Han Dynasty, Xiangyang is definitely an important place, so the status of the king of Xiangyang is self-evident.
But Liu Zhi is not without worries, Liu Yu is too smart and willful, and he is twins with Liu Jin, it is difficult to guarantee that when he grows up, he will not covet the throne.
Therefore, Liu Zhi kept an eye on it and wrote to several palace teachers, asking them to educate Liu Yu's character.
That is, try not to teach him how to be a good king, but to direct his interests in other directions.
Although this was a little unfair to Liu Yu, he had to act so for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the Han Empire in the future.
In the future, if he can support his brother with peace of mind, Liu Zhi, as a father, will naturally not treat him badly.
Deng Meng was concerned about his son, and after returning to Beijing, he stayed in the palace, but sent someone to send Tian Sheng over to take care of his daily life.
Over the years, Tian Sheng has always been just a full position, although Liu Zhi is still more fond of her, and has never been treated badly in terms of material, but he has always been more cautious in terms of reputation.
The main reason is that she is too young, and Liu Zhi doesn't want her to be proud of her pampering and have some undivided thoughts.
I haven't seen Liu Zhi for a few months, and there have been turmoil, and Tian Sheng has obviously lost weight.
When I saw Liu Zhi, I cried aggrievedly, looking very pitiful.
So, Liu Zhi lived in the Yin Xing Palace in Henan Province like this, and devoted himself to the training and rehabilitation of the tongue every day.
In March, Liu Zhi's other aspects of his body basically recovered, and even his hair grew out, looking like a modern inch.
