Chapter 170: Take the Pulse
After the Spring Festival, the crown prince announced the emperor's death, only saying that the emperor took the lead in the military camp, eating and sleeping with the soldiers, and finally couldn't stand it at such an old age, contracted typhoid fever, and the mountain collapsed.
The crown prince is the successor prince, so naturally he can't put himself in danger, so the emperor's nephew, His Royal Highness the lame county king, personally went to the front line to help Lingshu return to Beijing.
Zhang Yuqing estimated that he carried an empty coffin over, and then carried the empty coffin back, and staged a funny drama for the world to see.
The whole capital has been hanging for a full month, and every day the princes, nobles, important ministers and family members have to go to the palace to cry.
Zhang Yuqing's body was already very bulky, and she had to cry twice, rubbing her eyes with a handkerchief soaked in dogwood water, and crying a few times without being abrupt.
Fortunately, the prince was anxious to become the emperor as soon as possible, and he was used to drinking and drinking, and he didn't want to cry all day long, so he couldn't bear it anymore, saying that Emperor Taichang was sympathetic to the ministers and the people, and he explained that he could not do anything before he died, and fully supported the front-line war, and the mourning hall was only set up for five days.
The prince didn't want to cry for his own son, and the ministers naturally didn't want to be the filial son and grandson, and for a while, the courtiers' sycophants slapped the new monarch as if they didn't want money, what kind and loving people, sympathetic ministers......
Those civil officials smeared oil one by one, and they could praise the prince as Yao Shunyu.
Emperor Taichang began to build the mausoleum from when he sat on the dragon chair, which has been repaired for more than ten years, and has spent countless manpower and material resources, and has not yet been completed.
The treasury had no money to repair it, so the prince had to place Emperor Taichang in the unfinished mausoleum first, preparing to continue to repair his father's tomb when he had the money in the future.
After the empty coffin welcomed back from Nanyang entered the mausoleum, the prince immediately held an enthronement ceremony, with the year name An, which means to appease the world and pacify the Quartet.
Zhang Yuqing pondered, this thing belongs to the type where the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny, how can the word Anping be so easy to do.
After Emperor Anping ascended the throne, the original queen was upgraded to the queen mother, and the crown princess Zhang Yuying was promoted to become the queen, and the prince born was named the crown prince. The Zhang family has once again become the top celebrity among the powerful in the capital, as if they are the future emperor's foreign family.
It was about a few times before that he was cheeky and was scolded back by Zhang Yuqing, but now the Zhang family's worth has trembled, and he will no longer come to Zhang Yuqing to meet a cold face, and Zhang Yuqing is also happy to be quiet.
Winter goes to spring, and it is the season when flowers are in full bloom and compete for beauty.
There was exciting news from the Northwest Battlefield, and the entire Great Xia was trembling.
Lu Wei, the commander of Liangzhou, led his troops to defeat the Hu people, cut the Hu people emperor off his horse on the battlefield, and continued to lead his troops to advance beyond Baochuan with a devastating momentum, until he recovered Luerwei!
The territory and people of Great Xia, who were all lost to the Hu people during the Luerwei Rebellion, are now under the wings of Great Xia again.
When the news reached the capital, the whole capital was boiling, the streets and alleys were talking excitedly about Lu Wei and his Liangzhou army, and the teahouse was full of legends about the Liangzhou system. The poetry and songs of the literati praised Lu Wei, and even many students wrote joint documents, asking the emperor to make Lu Wei the prince of the country.
After Duan Shu got the news, she sat alone in the house for a long time, and suddenly covered her face and cried bitterly.
Zhang Yuqing held her waist and watched silently outside, and quietly walked away.
The change of Luerwei has changed the fate of too many people, and Duan Shu is one of them.
She is the eldest granddaughter of Emperor Huai, a real golden branch and jade leaf, and a noble daughter of heaven who grew up in Emperor Huai's arms. After the change of Luerwei, the royal family died, and Duan Shu fell from heaven to hell overnight.
The change of Luerwei is the black history of Duanshu's grandfather, which clearly represents the dereliction of responsibility of Emperor Huai, and Emperor Taichang gave Duanshu's grandfather a "Huai" character as a nickname, which is also a merciless criticism and insult.
Now that the land and people lost from Emperor Huai have been recovered by Lu Wei, the grievances and depression that Duan Shu had been entrenched in her heart for a long time have finally been resolved.
There was a lot of traffic at the gate of Fan Si Yuan and Lu Mansion, and there was an endless stream of wives and girls who wanted to visit Duan Shu and Zhang Yuqing, but they were all blocked back by Duan Shu.
As for Lu Dewen, this period of time is really beautiful, and he has lost himself in flattery, and he feels like he is floating on the clouds at twelve hours a day.
Zhang Yuying, who was already the queen, gave Duan Shu and Zhang Yuqing an edict and invited the two of them to talk in the palace.
Duan Shu went alone, and when the Queen Mother and the Queen asked about it, she showed disdain, saying that Zhang Yuqing was sick.
The Queen Mother immediately summoned the imperial doctor to the Fan Si Courtyard in the Lu Mansion, and was concerned about treating Zhang Yuqing, saying that Lu Wei was the hero of Great Xia, and the golden body of Mrs. Xiao Lu could not be missed.
The imperial physician entered the Fansi Courtyard and was immediately led into a bedroom, revealing a slender wrist behind the green gauze tent, but the fingers were slightly rough.
"It's ...... Mrs. Lu? The Imperial Doctor asked cautiously.
The women he has treated are either noble ladies or young ladies, which ones are not fine-skinned and tender-fleshed, and it is the first time he has seen calluses on his hands.
Du Jingyi asked unhappily: "Who is it if it's not Mrs. Lu?" ”
The imperial doctor was tasked with finding out if Zhang Yuqing was really sick, and muttered: "But, how can there be calluses on your hands?" ”
Behind the tent, Zhang Yuqing coughed and scolded angrily: "Okay, you are a thing that holds high and steps low!" Seven sesame officials don't count! You dare to look down on me?! When Mrs. Ben is well, I have to go to the emperor to complain and let the emperor cut off the head of your dog! ”
After the imperial doctor was scolded vulgarly, he remembered that this Mrs. Lu had been living abroad since she was a child, and she was adopted by a farmer, and she must have grown up doing farm work, no different from those big-footed girls in the countryside who worked in the fields.
"It's the fault of the lower officials!" The imperial doctor knelt on the ground in fright, and kowtowed to Zhang Yuqing.
Zhang Yuqing coughed and scolded a few more words, and said unhappily: "My husband is the god of war in Great Xia, why did the palace send you such a thing to treat me?" Bad luck! ”
The imperial doctor took the pulse in fear, brushed and wrote the pulse case, and said humbly: "Madame is just a wind evil into the body, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, the lower official has also prescribed a prescription, Madame eats according to it, generally speaking, it can be cured in three or five days." ”
The voice behind the tent spoke in a caolete tone, as if a rude shrew was unrelenting, "Don't think that's it! When I get better, I will definitely go to the emperor to complain! ”
The imperial doctor was so frightened that he ran away, offending Mrs. Lu Wei is equivalent to offending Lu Wei, who dares to offend Lu Wei now?
Originally, the chief soldier of the Jin family was boasted of how powerful, and there was even a saying of the North Continent and the South Jin Zhi when the scenery was beautiful, now look at which top of the land is the only one and a half stars.
He is just a doctor who treats people, and he can't afford to take his own life.
When the imperial doctor returned to the palace to restore his life, he said that Mrs. Lu was a little sick, probably because she was not feeling well, and her temper was also very big.
The Queen Mother smiled and joked with Duan Shu, what she meant was that Duan Shu, a mother-in-law, was too harsh on her daughter-in-law, and let her daughter-in-law have a violent temper, so don't do this, learn like her, be kind to her daughter-in-law, and get along like a mother and daughter.
Zhang Yuying had a smile on her face, and scolded the Queen Mother in her heart.
This old pious woman, still kissing her mother and daughter? Phew!
At this time, the urgent report of the border of 800 miles and Lu Wei's twist were sent to Emperor Anping's desk.
Emperor Anping couldn't believe it after seeing it, and looked at it again with wide eyes, and then slammed it to the ground, scolding: "Vertical Lu Wei! He's the opposite! ”
The cabinet ministers did not dare to come out, and when they picked up the folds on the ground, they were all stunned.
The prime minister said in a trembling voice: "He actually marched to the capital with an army of 500,000!? ”
Originally, there were a million Praetorian Guards in the capital, plus the army of the nearby vassal kings, of course, they were not afraid of 500,000 enemies. However, in order to exterminate the rebels such as the King of Jiangxia, the King of the East China Sea, and the King of Shuzhou, the imperial court dispatched a large number of Praetorian Guards to quell the rebellion, and now there are only 200,000 Praetorian Guards in the capital.
The most important thing is that Lu Wei's army is the tiger and wolf army that was beaten by the Emperor Hu Ren who drove the royal car and took the old Bendu, not to mention that there are only 200,000 Praetorian Guards left in the capital, even if one million are there, it may not be Lu Wei's opponent.
A cabinet minister next to him leaned over to look at the fold, and said strangely: "The reason why Lu Wei led troops into Beijing was to pick up his mother and wife?!" ”
"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! The gray-haired prime minister shouted, not believing that Lu Wei's heavy troops were pressing to the capital to pick up his wife, "He left the station without permission, this is a rebellion!" ”
Emperor Anping paced back and forth in the room angrily, his head was blank, he was so frightened that he almost lost the ability to think, and he couldn't think of any solution except for chattering and insulting Lu Wei with foul language.
The imperial army was in the rebellion and civil strife, and a large number of them were piled up on the rebellion of the vassal kings led by the king of Jiangxia and the suppression of the Red Lotus Sect.
Now is the time when the garrison of the capital is empty, Lu Wei really led his troops to the capital, what is the difference between that and entering a no-man's land?
Emperor Anping remembered that more than ten years ago, he followed his father into the capital and took over the palace, wearing a dragon robe.
Changing dynasties sounds like a hassle, but it's actually just a matter of moments.
A slightly younger cabinet minister shouted in horror: "It's better to send the Duanshu County Lord and Young Lady Lu over to him, and let him lead the troops back to Liangzhou!" ”
Jae-ki immediately objected, "No! In this way, the only thing that can be handled by the court is Lu Dewen, Lu Wei is not close to Lu Dewen, the relationship between father and son is tense, Duan Shu and Mrs. Lu are gone, what do we do to control Lu Wei? Don't forget, he is no longer a powerless and powerless relative of the imperial family, he is a feudal official with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and he sits on the entire Liangzhou! ”
The deputy minister said: "There are still 200,000 Praetorian Guards left in Beijing, I'm afraid that Lu Wei can't be stopped, and the emperor can issue an edict ordering King Chen Liuwang and King Yanzhou to enter King Qinqin in Beijing." ”
As soon as these words came out, the cabinet ministers collectively looked at Emperor Anping, their eyes full of expectation.
The vassal kings are all descendants of the royal family, and at the critical moment, they are still reliable by their own people!
Sweetheart Theatre:
Zhang Yuqing: Can anyone who wants to take my pulse can do it? But since it's an imperial doctor, resources can't be wasted, give me a maid to check the pulse!
