Although he was the emperor of the Han Dynasty and sat on the four seas, Liu Ji had never set foot in the territory of the land of Yan and Zhao, and his control over these two strange northern countries with different surnames also belonged to the remote control that he had more than enough power to have.

This time, under the personal greeting of Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, Princess Lu Yuan, and the hundred officials of Zhao, he walked into the palace of King Zhao at the highest place in Handan City for the first time.

Today's Zhao Wanggong is renovated on the basis of the old war king's palace, with three huge palace rooms in the west palace city, the east palace city and the north palace city, which are in the shape of a product and the shape is magnificent.

The emperor came in person, the palace of Zhao Wang was busy, and that night, the grand reception banquet was set up in the most magnificent Longtai Hall in the West Palace City.

The palace of King Zhao is located in the highland, and the west palace city is the highest palace in the whole royal city, overlooking down from the dragon platform, but seeing the Handan city in front of you in order to welcome the arrival of the emperor and put up lights, thousands of lights, a fireworks.

"If you look further to the northwest, across that mountain, it will be the territory of the Huns."

Pointing to the dark mountains in the vast twilight in the distance, Zhang Cang, the prime minister of Zhao Cheng, who was standing on the steps outside the hall, explained to Liu Ji on the side,

"After a while, the autumn wind and autumn rain together, the frost withered the leaves, and the leaves of the mountains turned yellow, looking at it from a distance, like a golden mountain.

At that time, when I climbed the Yanmen Pass and looked at it, the autumn grass in the north was all yellow, golden, and I couldn't see the edge at a glance. ”

"You sent Liu Jing off before, and you went to Yanmen Pass?"

Liu Ji looked at the dark and huge ridge in the distance, sketched the autumn scenery of Xiao Suo in the north in his mind, and asked,

"The garrison of Yanmen, are you okay looking at it?

This time, I watched Chen Xuan's actions and operations on the Western Front, and he was calm and calm, and he did not panic in battle, but he was a usable talent.

You have partnered with him in Yanmen and Daidi for several years, what do you think of him? ”

"Chen Feng guarded well, and he didn't dare to slack off for a moment."

Zhang Cang's tone was a little heavy,

"For those of us who have been in the north for a long time, every year when the grass turns yellow in autumn, the skin of all the people up and down the garrison will be tightened.

At this time, the Xiongnu herdsmen's nomadic labor for a year is probably done, and the strong laborers have nothing to do, plus the livestock are fat and strong, which is most suitable for concentrating the army to plunder in the south.

It's just that this year is a little different, the Huns have not moved so far, most of it is due to Liu Jing. ”

Liu Jigang wanted to say something, but he felt a wave of heat rushing to his nose, and he tasted a burst of fishy smell in his mouth, he didn't think about it himself, but he saw Zhang Cang's face in front of him change suddenly, and he called the imperial doctor one after another.

Liu Ji stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, but saw that the palm was scarlet, it turned out to be a nosebleed, Zhang Ao, who was not far away, heard the sound, and hurriedly rushed over, shocked when he saw this, and kept calling the doctor on duty in the palace today.

***

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, it's just a little epistaxis (nǜ)."

Seeing that everyone was in a hurry, Liu Ji smiled and waved his hand,

"You are all killed in the pile of dead people, and all the fuss is ridiculous."

Taichang Taiyi, who went out with the army, and the doctors of Zhao Palace hurriedly ran forward, one used a silk handkerchief to stop Liu Ji's bleeding, and the other knelt to ask for a pulse and look at the tongue coating.

The two frowned and muttered for a long time, and concluded that the emperor's lungs were on fire, and he was forced to force blood in vain, so he opened a prescription in a panic, but looked around, not knowing who to give it to.

According to the Qin and Han systems, prescriptions issued by imperial physicians must be reviewed and approved by the doctor before they can be applied;

The prepared drugs also need to be inspected by Fang Cheng before they can be decocted by the Shang Drug Administration.

But now, the prescription ordered by the imperial physician in Luoyang Palace, if it is regulated, it seems that it should not be judged by the doctor of Zhao Palace.

Seeing this, Zhang Cang glanced at Chen Ping, stretched out his hand to take the prescription, and said, "I'll judge it", so he lowered his head and quickly swept it, and said to the imperial doctor's order,

"Probably available.

It's just that, according to the following opinion, it seems that you can add another taste of lotus root, which is sweet and warm, can cool blood and stop bleeding, and build muscle and replenish the heart. ”

When the two medical officers saw that the prime minister stood up to take responsibility, they couldn't help but nod their heads.

"Just do as he says."

Liu Ji covered his nose, his face was a little pale, and he said angrily.

Among the people present, Zhang Cang is the most knowledgeable, he is a close disciple of Xunzi, literary calendar, arithmetic celestial phenomena, music and rhythm five elements, omniscience, and medical skills are also quite studied.

Hearing the emperor's words, Zhang Ao urged the medical officer to go to the Yaozang Mansion to pick up the medicine and decoction the medicine.

"What the hell do you mean?"

Lu Yuan on the side didn't understand, and asked with concern,

"Is it serious?"

Zhang Cang replied,

"It is estimated that His Majesty has been personally campaigning for days, running around and working hard, and the northern land is already dry, and the water and soil are not adapted, so blood suddenly came out of the nose.

This blood looks scary, but the blood does not return, just take a break and stop.

It's windy here, Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace. ”

Liu Ji raised his head, still covering his nose with one hand, glanced down at Zhang Cang from the corner of his eye, and said vaguely,

"I remember, you were originally from Yangwu, and you were born and raised in the Central Plains.

Over the years, I have been supported by a pole to the border county, drinking wind and eating sand all day long, and I have not been less sick.

It's really hard for you. ”

***

The people went back to the temple and sat down, put warm wine and hot dishes, and started the feast again.

Liu Ji sat on the top throne, with Zhang Ao and Lu Yuan beside him, and then the two columns sat in turn the members of the Central Committee and the Zhao State.

In the middle of the night, the steaming soup was fried and brought to the palace by the palace people.

Xiao Huangmen, who tasted the drug supervision, stepped forward, scooped out three full spoons of medicinal juice with a long silver spoon, put it in a small lacquer bowl, raised his head and drank it all, and then stood back silently again.

This is the old rule of medicine in the palace, every time you taste the medicine, you must take at least 20% of the amount of this medicine, and beware of the person who poisons the poison to murder the emperor with a trace amount of poison.

It's just that when he was in Luoyang Palace, in addition to the little eunuch who tasted the medicine superintendent, he also needed a close minister Lang official to taste the medicine a second time, so that it was safe.

At this time, it can only be simple because of ugliness, Liu Ji on the couch glanced left and right, then stretched out his hand and motioned to the palace people to bring the medicine.

Lu Yuan found that his uncle Lu Shizhi was glaring at him, and he didn't know what he was doing, knowing that he must be prompting something, but he couldn't get the point, so he had to open his eyes wide and stare at him in a daze.

Suddenly, Zhang Ao, who was sitting next to her, got up, took the medicine bowl from the palace people, and drank two sips in a row, then bent down and respectfully held the bowl in front of Liu Ji.

Liu Ji smiled, took the medicine bowl and drank it all, wiped his mouth and said,

"Where did you learn all this red tape?

It can't be your dad who taught you, right? ”

He casually grabbed a piece of beef liver that was roasted on the gilt bronze table in front of him, and said to Zhang Ao,

"This is your dad's and I's favorite appetizer, but I didn't expect to eat it again today.

It's just that we have never tasted the taste of pepper in the Western Regions back then, who would have thought that it would match with roasted beef liver so well. ”

Seeing that Liu Ji was in a good mood and had leisure to talk about his life, Lu Shizhi turned his face to look at Zhang Cang who was sitting next to him, and whispered helplessly,

"Look at people, compared to King Zhao, my niece is still naïve, I'm afraid she's not stupid?

How could it be that it was not like her mother at all? ”

Zhang Cang sighed,

"Only by eating a trench can she grow wise, but she still hasn't fallen enough on her head."
