Chapter Eighty-Three: The Rebellion of the Family
The so-called post-chaos is the legacy of the troubled times.
It can be as big as restoring the normal operation of all ministries and divisions of the imperial court, and as small as burying the corpses of each family and adopting orphans.
But what worries the shopkeeper Han is the heart disease left by the Huangfu family to each family.
Shopkeeper Han: "Do you know about the fight between Dong Junqin's mother and the guards in the capital?"
Ah Lu nodded: "I've heard of it, it seems that it was because Dong Junqin accidentally injured the prince of Chenyang, and the emperor arrested him, so this incident happened." ”
Shopkeeper Han: "Yes, it's indeed because of this. It's just that this was not a big deal originally, but Emperor Xuanning witnessed the blood of the Huangfu clan washing the palace, and since then he has fallen into a heart disease. Anything related to magic could make him furious or terrified.
After Dong Junqin was arrested and imprisoned, the Dong family sent people to intercede many times, and even the prince of Chenyang went into battle in person. But the emperor said that he wanted to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and told everyone to face up to the forbidden law. ”
Ah Lu: "I don't understand, others don't care, Dong Junqin's uncle had a good relationship with the Emperor Taishang in his early years, and the Dong family had a life-saving grace for him, and even sacrificed his own children to protect the prince of Chenyang."
Is it so fragile that he once supported each other and trusted him with his life?"
Shopkeeper Han sighed and told Ah Lu about his father and Shui Yincao: "I am also responsible for this. After my father's death, I was indignant, and this kid and his father were loyal and disobedient, so I said a few words when I was facing the saint.
I heard that Emperor Xuanning turned black on the spot when he heard those words, but he didn't have a seizure at that time. Later, the news that the Dong family saved Song Jiyue came out, which was obviously a good thing, but some people in the court said that the Dong family was taking Song Jiyue's credit. Otherwise, why not say it in the morning?
Isn't it the judgment of the Huangfu family back then?"
Ah Lu was puzzled: "Just because of this? Then he doesn't have to deal with the Dong family, and it's okay to drive them out of Yanjiao, why do you want to pretend to have a good relationship?"
Shopkeeper Han smiled bitterly: "Girl, not everyone is as straightforward as you, if you don't like it, you will see you again, and if you like it, you will stay."
In the emperor's opinion, if you don't get along, you don't know what conspiracy you are brewing in private. The more suspicious they are, the more they have to come and go, in order to knock on the bottom line of mutual testing. ”
Alu is speechless, what kind of logic is this?
Shopkeeper Han: "That time Dong Junqin injured Chenyang, but he was actually finally caught by the emperor. It's just that we didn't expect Emperor Xuanning to be cruel and even more excessive than the emperor back then. ”
When Shopkeeper Han said this, his brows were furrowed. He took a deep breath and said, "Because he was suspected of being a thief, Dong Junqin was tortured after being escorted back to the prison...... The people in the prison tortured him to extract a confession and asked him to tell what the Dong family was brewing, Dong Junqin must have denied that the Dong family had two hearts, so he ...... Jailers ...... every day Chop down ...... He sent the severed finger back to Dong's house with one finger...... Ten full days...... In the end, he forced his mother to ...... Directly raise the sword and kill to the capital. That's where ...... comes in."
Recalling the events at that time, Shopkeeper Han couldn't say anything anymore. When he heard that Dong Junqin had been released, he and some friends secretly rushed to Dong's house as soon as possible.
Then they saw a pair of bloody hands, and ten severed limbs that had begun to rot and blacken.
Ah Lu only knew that Dong Junqin and his mother were seriously injured in that incident, but she thought that they had been beaten, whipped or something, but she didn't expect it to be such torture. Where is this more cruel than Huangfu, this is simply crazy and perverted!
Ah Lu listened to the description of the shopkeeper Han and imagined that picture, his hands kept shaking, and his chest kept rising and falling, as if his hands had been cut off. Ten fingers connected to the heart, how much pain did Dong Junqin have to do at that time?
Shopkeeper Han: "This is not the most painful. Dong Junqin is the only seedling of the Dong family, and they will definitely do their best to treat them. So his father didn't like the Jianghu people, so he had to ask the Xuanqing immortals to go down the mountain.
After reading it, the Xuanqing Immortal said that those severed fingers had been scrapped and it was impossible to take them back. Can only be recreated with spells.
We were happy and thought we were saved. But after the Xuanqing Immortals cast the spell, we knew that the so-called reinvention had to suffer from broken fingers every day. ”
Ah Lu frowned: "Riri?"
Shopkeeper Han: "Yes." Day by day. Using spells to recreate bone and blood, unlike the thin skin and tender flesh and cartilage of newborns, grow bones first, then flesh and blood, and finally cover the skin.
Each step takes about a week, and during the week, needles must be pricked every day to keep the pain in order to prevent the skin and bone of the cut surface from necrosis.
I heard that for a whole month, Dong Junqin was so painful that he couldn't sleep every day, and during this period, he had a big fever and a small fever. At that time, we were all worried that by the time his hands were healed, his brain would burn out.
His father and mother are too, arguing day and night over this.
The Xuanqing Immortal couldn't stand it in the end, and took Dong Junqin back to the Azure Realm according to his mother's wishes.
Later, when I was passing by on an errand, I went to visit him. Who knew that although his hands were complete, the necrotic meridians had not yet recovered, let alone casting spells, and he couldn't even hold the pen steadily.
For the meridians to grow again, it will take at least a year to use spells. And in order to stimulate its growth, it has to be pricked with needles every day.
It was from that time that this kid studied medicine. ”
Ah Lu listened to these things, and then looked at Dong Junqin, who was lying on the bed now, and a drop of water fell from his right eye.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Han said with relief: "Fortunately, he has good talent and is diligent, and after surviving that year, his hands have grown better, and his medical skills have also improved." ”
But so what?
No matter how well the wound heals, even the same as before, the pain of the knife and those memories will always be there.
Ah Lu changed Dong Junqin with a towel again. "Then he didn't want to break with the royal family?" or go away?"
Shopkeeper Han: "I don't know if he has it, but his father definitely doesn't." You should have met his father when you followed him home, right?
He is brave and a little scheming, but he is too orthodox and attaches great importance to friendship, even if something like that happens, he doesn't want to ruin his relationship with Xuanning.
Moreover, he wholeheartedly believed that the Qing people would clear themselves, and the emperor would understand their heart. even thought that after Emperor Xuanning abdicated, Emperor Chenyang would give him an official position.
Poor Dong Junqin, a child in his eighties and nineties, has suffered so much, and the first question I asked when I saw it was whether his parents had reconciled? I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. ”
Ah Lu didn't know when he had clenched his fists: "This is called heavy affection? This is stupid, right? I don't know his father, but doesn't Dong Junqin hate it?"
Shopkeeper Han shook his head: "Hate must be hate." It's just that he can't help it, even if his father hates it, does he want to learn from Huangfu to kill the emperor? Or chop off his fingers?"
Ah Lu wiped her eyes, don't say that he doesn't hate, she hates this kind of thing when she hears it. The current Emperor Taishang is really not afraid of their revenge?
Shopkeeper Han got up, picked up the medicine plate, and said, "This is the emperor's family." Chongcaotang took over the position of imperial merchant, we really can't figure it out. ”
As soon as the shopkeeper Han left, only Ah Lu and Dong Junqin were left in the house. Seeing that the person on the bed kept frowning because of the fever, Ah Lu's mood became more and more wrinkled. No wonder Dong Junqin has a bad relationship with his father, no wonder he doesn't like to go back to Yanjiao, and no wonder they were chased and killed all the way.
If a man is ruthless, he is more terrible than demons. I don't know if his father can learn to be smarter after this incident.
Ah Lu stared at Dong Junqin, and suddenly had the idea of going to his body to see his dreams and memories.
