Chapter 185: Immortal Anointing

Two days later, Princess Mingyang came again. She subconsciously protected her abdomen with both hands, her face was ruddy and shiny, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were smiling.

Jiang Yuqing put down the teacup and invited her to sit down: "Is this a good thing coming?" ”

She nodded "um", and then said, "You don't know, when I told that nerd that I was pregnant with his child, he was stupid. ”

Princess Mingyang stretched out her hand and gestured: "Such a big sea bowl, it smashed on my feet with a bang, I really laughed to death, hahahaha." ”

"Say it quickly, and then what?"

"Then, what is he going to do......" Princess Mingyang's face suddenly turned red. Jiang Yuqing understood in seconds, let out a meaningful "oh", and then teased her with a wicked smile.

"How does it feel to be in love?"

Princess Mingyang said: "I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and I wish to be a branch in the earth." ”

"Heyβ€”if my tooth falls out today, it's going to make you sore. It's really a fate. Jiang Yuqing suggested that if she wanted to get married, she had to hurry.

Today is the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and it will definitely be too late to get married before the year. You can only choose one day in the first month. Otherwise, after the New Year, it won't look good if you have a big belly.

Jiang Yuqing immediately announced that he was the supervisor of Qintian and asked him to calculate the marriage date for Princess Mingyang and the concubine, and asked for the nearest auspicious day. The old god asked Princess Mingyang and Yang Changyu for their birthdays and pinched their fingers, indicating that the eighteenth day of the first month of the year is a good day, and the eight characters of the two are also a match made in heaven.

Princess Mingyang made a decision, on the eighteenth day of the first month.

The rest is easy. After crossing the Ming Road with Emperor Taishang and Empress Taishang, Jing Yan issued a decree to marry Princess Mingyang and Yang Changyu, and they will get married on the eighteenth day of the first month of next year.

Everyone is inevitably a little curious about Princess Mingyang's concubine. After a check of that good thing, I found that the horse was actually just the steward of Tai'an Farm, a plain-headed ordinary person from a poor family. That's not all, the colt is still a cripple with a broken arm.

The news spread, and everyone talked about it for a while. Some say that Yang Changyu climbs high branches, and some say that Princess Yang is cheap herself, and the comments are varied.

Whatever outsiders say, Princess Mingyang will not take it to heart. In the past ten years in Tibet, she has never heard any unpleasant words, and she has not suffered any grievances. This idea is not even a drizzle for her.

Therefore, while raising a baby, she is actively preparing for her wedding.

Both the Emperor and the Empress Taishang attached great importance to Princess Mingyang's wedding. I treated her too much in the past, so I wanted to try my best to make up for it now, and wanted to make the wedding more luxurious and grand, so Princess Mingyang refused.

What she wants is a simple and warm wedding, without much extravagance and luxury, and it is enough to have relatives and friends by her side. Jiang Yuqing supports her decision, and her life is all lived by herself, not by others.

On the eighteenth day of the first month, the day Princess Mingyang got married.

Before the bride got into the sedan chair, Jiang Yuqing held her hands and said solemnly: "You must be happy!" ”

Princess Mingyang nodded tearfully: "I will!" ”

After speaking, he said goodbye to the emperor, held his head high, walked out proudly in the sun, and walked down the high white jade steps.

In the past, she couldn't help herself, but from now on she lives only for herself.

Watching the sedan chair slowly leave, Jing Yan grabbed her shoulders and said, "Let's go too." Go to the princess's mansion and wait! ”

"Good!"

The princess's wedding sedan chair was carried out of the palace, and after half a circle around the imperial city, it was carried into the palace of Princess Mingyang. It was given by King Fu himself.

The Emperor Taishang, the princesses, the eldest princess of Ronghua's family, the Fu Wang's family, the second princess and the third princess's family, all the royal family members are all here.

There are also a lot of nobles who are good friends in Beijing, such as the Jiang family and the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. The second is the veteran representatives of Tai'an.

Yang Changyu's family also came.

Mother Yang never dreamed that her youngest son would be able to marry the princess one day, and she was full of happy old tears.

Yang Changyu's brother was also happy for him. The younger brother was disabled only when he went to the battlefield to fight for him, so he always felt guilty about this younger brother. Now that he has finally married a family and married a princess, I am happy for him from the bottom of my heart, and I finally come to the bitter end.

On the night of Princess Mingyang's wedding, Jiang Yuqing was happy and drank a few more glasses. After returning to the palace, he took the initiative to pestering Jing Yan for a kiss.

It's rare for the little wife to take the initiative, of course Jing Yan won't let it go, fully cooperate with her actions, and let her do whatever she wants. even deliberately found a fire avoidance map to guide her to act, which can be described as extremely scheming.

Because it was so late, neither of them could get up the next morning. Fortunately, there is no need to go to court today, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to say a few words from the ministers.

After getting up, Jing Yan accompanied her to finish eating, and went to the imperial study to deal with state affairs. After Jiang Yuqing dealt with the palace affairs, he had nothing to do, and went out of the palace with Bai Xiaoshi.

She didn't go to He'an Hospital, just wandered aimlessly on the street. It's been a long time since she's been out shopping.

Nowadays, the capital of Daxia is more prosperous, even in the first month of the cold and freezing, the streets are still full of people and pedestrians.

When passing by a northwestern-style snack shop, Jiang Yuqing was attracted by the fragrance inside. I walked in and asked for a bowl of mutton steamed buns.

The young man served the bun, and Jiang Yuqing broke it little by little in his hand. The more broken it is, the better the boiled mutton steamed buns will be.

After breaking the bread, let the man take it to the back kitchen to cook, and while waiting, the curtain of the small shop was lifted again, and two lean men came in outside.

As soon as he came in, he shouted at Xiao Er and asked for two large bowls of mutton steamed buns.

The two men were breaking the bread and talking loudly at the same time, as if there was no one else.

One of them said, "After eating for a while, let's go to the Immortal Pavilion to get some immortal ointment to smoke." After that thing was smoked, it was like heaven, fluttering like a fairy. ”

The other said: "Otherwise, how can it be called fairy ointment?" You must be able to become an immortal if you draw it, so you can call this name. ”

Jiang Yuqing wrinkled his brows, and intuitively felt that this immortal paste was not a good thing.

The young man came up with the steamed bun, and Jiang Yuqing ate it slowly. After the two men finished eating, Jiang Yuqing also settled the account, slapped an invisibility talisman on his body, and quickly followed.

She wanted to see what this so-called fairy ointment was?

The two men walked through the streets and alleys, and walked around for nearly two quarters of an hour, until they finally came to a very hidden alley.

Walking to a house at the end of the alley, he raised his hand and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened from the inside, and two men entered.

Jiang Yuqing also followed into the courtyard.

Bypassing the wall, passing through the small courtyard, I entered the lobby. On both sides are side rooms, and large shops are built in the wing rooms. Lying above were several men with smoking guns.

With just one glance, Jiang Yuqing concluded that this so-called immortal ointment is opium, commonly known as big smoke. And this so-called immortal hall is the opium hall.

The two men were obviously regular visitors here, and as soon as they entered the door, they lay down on the kang.

The man was familiar with the way and presented the cigarette gun, lit the cigarette, and the two sighed with satisfaction, and began to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog like everyone else, so unhappy.

Jiang Yuqing stepped forward to take a closer look and found that the purity of these opiums was not high, and they were of inferior quality.

I think that the extraction of these opiums by drug makers is only in the initial stage, and the technology is crude.

Jiang Yuqing clenched his fists and gritted his teeth with hatred. What kind of person is it that brought these harmful things into Great Xia?

Jiang Yuqing looked around inside, and after leaving the Immortal Pavilion, he directly sent a communication to Jing Yan to explain the situation here.

And explained in detail the harm of opium to the human body and the heavy price paid by Huaxia because of the Opium War in the previous life.

Jing Yan naturally didn't dare to slack off on things that could shake the country's foundation, and immediately mobilized soldiers and horses, sealed this smoke house, and launched a carpet search in the whole capital.

The owners of the Immortal Pavilion and the smokers of the Immortal Paste were all arrested and put into prison for strict interrogation.

I don't know if I don't check, I was shocked when I checked it, and the entire capital has unknowingly opened seven immortal pavilions.

Nearly 130 people were arrested. This is only on the surface, and those addicts who are hiding or unknown when they hear the wind do not know how many.

The capital alone is so serious, so how many people are sucking immortal ointment in the entire Great Xia? Nobody knows.

The situation is serious. The next morning, Jiang Yuqing appeared in the court for the first time as the queen of Great Xia, and popularized the dangers of immortal ointment with all the ministers.

After hearing this, the ministers also broke out in a cold sweat. The ministers, who originally thought that His Majesty the Emperor was making a big fuss, also changed their minds and unanimously decided to ban the immortal anointment.

Must be banned!

Not only must it be banned, but the main messenger behind it must be strictly investigated. The people who brought this thing into Great Xia, what kind of heart did they have?

Jing Yan ordered the whole country to ban the immortal anointment on the same day. Anyone who planted, manufactured, transported, and sold immortal ointment, once caught, would be punished by the nine tribes.

Whoever smokes it shall fight fifty years, and shall be imprisoned for three years. If they are officials or those who have meritorious fame, all meritorious names will be removed and they will never be hired.

And allow the public to report anonymously, once the reported incident is verified, the whistleblower can get a heavy reward. The decree was quickly sent to the whole country at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

Together, there was also a colorful portrait of the whole poppy plant that Jiang Yuqing asked the court painter to copy overnight.

The next day, the Kyoto Newspaper published the decree on the front page, and at the same time, it devoted an entire page to an article written by Empress Jiang Yuqing.

In simple and easy-to-understand vernacular, it explains in detail the harm of smoking fairy ointment to people, families, and countries, and is accompanied by illustrative pictures.

So everyone knows that His Majesty banned this immortal anointment, which was originally called opium, also called A Furong.

It is a kind of drug that is not easy to quit if you take it, and it will hurt yourself at the least, and cause the destruction of your family at worst, and it will bring disaster to the country and the people.

It is extracted from the fruit of a plant called the opium poppy.

At the same time, major academies, densely populated restaurants, restaurants, song and dance studios, etc., have arranged special personnel to preach the dangers of fairy ointment.

He'an Hospital also posted a big-character poster about fairy ointment on the display board at the door to promote anti-drug knowledge. Even special medical staff were sent to explain to the people who came to see the doctor.

The people listened and scolded around the propaganda board: "These black-hearted people, our life will be a little better, and they will bring such things to the Great Xia to harm us."

Your Majesty and Niangniang have done a good job, they should have banned them and punished their nine clans. ”

Jing Yan is resolute and resolute, and various measures are multi-pronged.

A month later, it was reported that a total of 49 immortal halls were closed across the country, with tens of thousands of catties of finished immortal paste and a total of 2,375 drug producers and traffickers.

It is mainly concentrated in several economically developed prefectures along the coast, and there is no immortal paste in the central and western regions.

All drug-related personnel should be killed, and they should be held accountable, and they will not be tolerated.

At the same time, the origin of this thing was also found, and it was obtained from the side of poison by an illegal businessman surnamed Lao in the coastal Tazhou capital.

In addition to the extracted fairy paste products, he even introduced the plants into Daxia, and also bought a village of tens of thousands of acres for planting opium poppies.

If you don't kill such a person, it's not enough to make the people angry. Jing Yan directly ordered to raid the house and exterminate the nine clans.
