Chapter Forty-Eight: The Tangle of the Red Fish

Wu Xiao's rise in Mobei has shaken the pattern of the government and the opposition, whether it is in Chang'an, or all the towns outside the imperial city, they have begun to lay out some changes in the future.

After the victory of Mobei, the political affairs in all aspects were promoted very smoothly, and the military households that moved north have also been allocated to the vast areas north of Yanmen Pass and south of Fengzhou, and there are more people pouring in from all over the Tang Dynasty.

The pattern of five miles and one fort and ten miles and one battalion is forming a defense capability on a large scale, and the Mobei Army is also participating in this kind of large-scale construction in batches.

The huge demand for all aspects of Mobei stimulated an endless stream of caravans from inside and outside the customs, and various material resources were continuously transported to the outside of the customs to fill the huge gap in Mobei, and the empire's commerce and trade were unprecedentedly prosperous.

It is worth mentioning that after careful exploration, amazing reserves of iron ore and red copper ore have been found in Mobei, and even huge ore exposed can be seen above the mine.

Wu Xiao immediately sent heavy troops to guard it and began to mine, which is undoubtedly heavy news in the entire Tang Realm where metals are scarce, and it is a major benefit to the economy and people's livelihood of Mobei.

There were even businessmen who originally intended to provide food supplies for Mobei, which was short of food, in exchange for a share of metal transactions in the future, which greatly alleviated the food crisis of millions of people in Mobei.

The emperor issued a holy decree to Mobei, and Wu Xiao temporarily took the position of commander of the Xiao cavalry battalion, and unified the new army and the soldiers of other state capitals into the Xiao cavalry battalion, which was fully organized by Wu Xiao.

He also appointed Wu Xiao as the political affairs inspector of Mobei Anbei Province, the general leader of Mobei political affairs, and arranged the political affairs of Mobei prefectures as appropriate, and the appointment and dismissal of officials did not need to be reported to the court.

Wu Xiao has actually gathered the military and political power of Mobei, and is the actual envoy of Mobei, but he is just missing a name.

A party in his early twenties, which has never been seen in all dynasties. Current events have pushed him to the forefront.

Just like what Chen Chong, the general of Hexi, said to Wu Xiao before receiving the reward from the court and preparing to lead the army to retreat to Hexi: "You have to take every step of the way now, and you can go to Hexi to write if necessary."

Chen Chong is a straightforward person, he doesn't beat around the bush when he speaks, this is a bit similar to Yu Jintang, watching him rush away and leave, Wu Xiao stopped on the city tower for a long time.

Li Mao then played softly: "My lord, there is a messenger from the Turks."

Wu Xiao was slightly surprised: "What is their intention to send a messenger at this time?"

"I don't know yet, I have to see what he says," Li Mao said

"Sir, what do you think I should do?" Wu Xiao asked him

"See," Li Mao said

Wu Xiao was silent for a while and said: "You go and see, you can only spread it by word of mouth, as for the messenger, beat twenty military sticks, and then send it out of Mobei"

Li Maoleng paused for a moment, and then said respectfully: "Yes"

Wu Xiao reorganized the Mobei Army, he formed a powerful military army, controlled by Zhaohu, the president's military discipline, expanded the cavalry, still divided into the black cavalry battalion and the brave cavalry battalion, the black cavalry battalion is composed of the most elite veterans, composed of nine salt gang black commanders and three original Mobei commanders.

The Yongcai battalion is large in number and slightly weaker, all of which are commanded by the commanders promoted from the original Mobei Army, and the two battalions are at the same level between the commanders, and there are no commanders of the two battalions, which are directly commanded by Wu Xiao.

The soldiers set up a general commander for every 10,000 people, scattered in various places and stationed in the prefecture of the pass, rotated every few months, and took turns to participate in the construction of various places on holidays.

Because Mobei is a military household, the style of martial arts prevails, and men have to be forced to serve in the military when they are fifteen years old, and participate in military training, so the military source in Mobei is very sufficient, and the side effect is that the wind of martial arts is prevalent, and many state capitals go to Wu Xiao to complain.

At Li Mao's suggestion, each state government set up a certain number of security patrol teams on its own, and state officials recruited and arranged public security tasks in their respective jurisdictions.

Wherever Wu Xiao went, the people's voices were rising, the officials were diligent, and Mobei was thriving.

It's just that he is not the only one who is on the cusp, Shoushantang has a guest today, and Jing is Qiu Shiliang, the head of the inner house.

Hongyu didn't know who he was, but he saw that it was a eunuch in the palace, so he had to deal with it carefully: "Is there anything wrong with this father-in-law?"

"It's an old problem, the imperial doctor in the palace has not been able to cure it, I heard that you have a good doctor in Shoushan Hall, so come and see" Qiu Shiliang coughed twice

"I kept coughing lightly, and it was even more difficult when it was cloudy and rainy," he added

Redfish motioned for him to sit down, checked his skin color and phlegm, and then took his left hand with the trumpet, Redfish was very focused, while Qiu Shiliang was looking at her.

"Do you wake up in the morning with a lot of phlegm?" asked Redfish

"More, that's more in the morning," Qiu Shiliang replied slowly

Redfish changed his right hand again, and asked, "Untie your hand once in a few days."

"Two days, sometimes three days," Qiu Shiliang replied honestly

Hongyu asked him about his daily diet, and after his condition was clear, he said: "I'll prescribe a prescription, you drink it once in the morning and evening, take four doses of medicine, it should be better, if it is effective after four doses, take four more doses, if it doesn't work, you come over again." ”

Qiu Shiliang responded one by one, Hongyu gave him a prescription and asked Xiao Qi to catch the medicine, Qiu Shiliang paid for the medicine, and slowly walked to the door of Shoushan Hall.

Watching him leave, Redfish only thought he was a little weird, but he didn't care, and continued to see other patients, but he didn't think about it, and after a few days, he came back and brought a small gift as a thank you.

"Dr. Hongyu's medical skills are really clever, I admire the old man, the imperial doctor in the palace has not been cured for several years, and your prescription will be cured, and my body is much easier" The enemy's good spirit is improving

"That's fine, you can eat four more clothes to stabilize when you go back, and this gift won't be necessary," Hongyu said with a smile

"Eh, Doctor Hongyu, don't be polite, I'm old, it's hard to get out of the palace gate once, things are not valuable, I brought it from afar, you don't accept it, let me put my old face where to put it!"

"Well, I haven't asked my father-in-law's surname yet" Hongyu couldn't twist him, so he had to accept it

"It's been a long time since anyone asked me what my surname is, hehe, my surname is Qiu, and I am the only one in the palace" Qiu Shiliang turned around and took the little eunuch's hand and left.

Hongyu put the two small boxes he brought over on the counter casually, and went to work again, until he was about to go upstairs in the evening, Lao Xie reminded him to remember this thing, and took it upstairs.

The red fish was opened on the table and looked at it, and it was on the spot. In the big box was a book and a delicate soft leather bag, and when the red fish opened the soft leather bag, he saw that it was a set of needles, a total of seventy-two, no more, no less.

The red fish took out one and put it in front of the lamp to look closely, and found that this needle is not gold or stone, I don't know what material it is made of, but it is unusually clean, the needle body is smooth as a mirror, the tip of the needle is very thin, and it flashes starlight under the lamp, and it is full of toughness.

And on the title page of which book is written a few big characters "The Secret Book of the King of Medicine", and the small words below are "Sun Simiao's collection in his later years".

This is actually what grandpa often mentions, the legendary medicine king god chapter, and it is the whole book, I don't want to compete in the palace for the secret collection, but now it is sent to the red fish by the hand of Qiu Shiliang.

Hongyu's grandfather, the old man of Xipingjiang, was once the eldest disciple of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, and later the master and apprentice gradually became suspicious because of the difference in medical theories, Xipingjiang gradually became obsessed with the study of anatomy, and it was inevitable to do something contrary to the common sense of heaven and morality, which was far from the ancient precept of benevolence of doctors.

Later, he joined the Eagle Pavilion Hall of Life and Death, and his work became more and more perverse, and the Medicine King finally couldn't bear it anymore and expelled him from the master's door, cutting off the righteousness of master and apprentice.

Hongyu knows these things, grandpa once said to her, but Hongyu doesn't think there is anything wrong with anatomy, maybe she has been influenced by Xipingjiang since she was a child, which makes her different from ordinary people.

But Xi Pingjiang has always regarded himself as a disciple of the Medicine King, and his lifelong willingness is to hope that the master can forgive him and let him return to the master, but he didn't wait for this news until he died.

The red fish held the ancestor's last words, his heart was excited, his hands were trembling slightly, and after a long time, he calmed down and prayed to his grandfather before putting down the "Secret Book of the King of Medicine".

Hongyu opened the small box, inside was a letter, the letter was very short, only to see that it was written: "The last chapter of the medicine king, and the five elements of the heavenly stone used in his life, return to orthodoxy, inheritance in an orderly manner, when the medicine king Shendao can be glorified, it is really a good thing for the old life, but the old decay is earnest, and send it to Mobei Lingdi", and the payment is "the chief eunuch of the Great Interior, Qiu Shiliang".

Hongyu immediately understood what was going on, she looked at the book and the Tianshi Five Elements Needle, her heart was entangled, her small lips were biting tightly, and her two small eyebrows were wrinkled together.
