Chapter 22: The Jiangnan Plague
The Emperor reached out and scratched her nose, "But it doesn't hurt to say." ”
Concubine Li walked up to him, leaned lightly against the table, and stared at him fixedly.
"How about the princes, the emperor naturally knows. Although Yuan'er said that she was thoughtful, she was injured a few days ago, and she inevitably needed to recuperate. The Seventh Prince is too young to have much experience. ”
The emperor pondered for a moment, "Why don't you mention the truss?" ”
Concubine Li pursed her mouth and pretended to be angry, "The emperor is such a smart person, naturally he is clearly like a mirror, do you still need the concubine to say it?" ”
The emperor smiled, his face full of pampering, "You know my heart best." ”
"It's not all because I've been by the emperor's side for a long time, even fools have become smarter!" Concubine Li laughed coquettishly, gently snuggled into his arms, her slender fingers drawing circles on his chest.
When the emperor was satisfied, she saw the opportunity and found an excuse to retreat.
In the evening, a holy decree was sent to Tuoba Truss's house.
After sending off the little eunuch who came to deliver the decree, his face was a little solemn.
After a long time, he turned his head and commanded into the shadows, "Go and find out what the emperor has done this afternoon." ”
"Wait," Tuoba Truss suddenly shouted, "tell the General's Mansion about this as well." ”
There is no reason, my father will not let him go to Jiangnan to solve this matter by name for no reason.
Someone must have said something in it.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the secret guard over there came back with news.
After listening to the report quietly, Tuoba Truss's face became deeper and deeper, "I know that it must be something that their mother and son did, they failed to let them succeed last time, and they came here this time." ”
"Master, what should we do then?" The Dark Guard was half-on his knees, his face heavy.
Tuoba Truss clasped his hands in front of his chest and sneered, "The emperor has already issued a holy decree, what else can I do?" ”
This decree came so unhappily.
Epidemic diseases have always been a matter of less life and more death, and it is inevitable to go to the field to observe.
And usually when something so big happens in a country, it is often accompanied by a riot of the people.
If one of them doesn't pay attention, he will die in the refugee's emotional out-of-control, which is also an unknown thing.
There is no guarantee that he will return safely.
After a while, Tuoba Truss seemed to remember something, and asked, "What do you say about the General's Mansion?" ”
"Miss Li asked you to come over later, saying that she had something important to tell you." The dark guard thought for a while, imitated Li Changge's tone, and repeated it as it was.
That's pretty much it.
The sky was overcast, the afterglow of the sun was swallowed up by the night, and a bright moon gradually emitted a crystal round light.
It is only in the darkest time that you can feel its brilliance.
"What kind of book is Changge reading, and he didn't even notice that someone was coming?" At the same time, Tuoba Truss appeared on her windowsill and quipped with interest.
Li Changge's expression did not change, he shook the book in his hand, and showed him the title of the book.
It's like a "Zizhi Tongjian", Tuoba Truss groaned, and said slowly, "Jiangmen Tiger Girl, sure enough, even the books you read are different from people. Changge might as well talk about it, what is the main content of this book? ”
Since ancient times, literati and writers have inevitably had to integrate this "Zizhi Tongjian" when they were receiving education.
Its content is mainly based on political and military historical events, so as to show the traces of chaos, success and failure, and safety of the monarchs and ministers of the past dynasties, and narrate the lives of people of all ethnic groups.
Li Changge was named to ask questions, and he was not flustered.
Her fingers were slender, rubbing the corners of the scroll slightly, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her lips were lightly opened, "The way to govern the scriptures lies in employing people." ”
It is a short eight words, but it covers more than 1,000 years of historical experience.
Tuoba Truss was shocked in his heart, and he had to have a different kind of admiration for the woman sitting quietly in front of him.
He retracted himself and sat down at the table, leaving away his usual playfulness and seriousness.
"Changge called me today, what's the matter?"
After Li Changge heard the news sent by the secret guard in the evening, he began to think about how to deal with this matter.
Her rebirth has changed the trajectory of many people.
It was not him who went to Jiangnan at this time in his previous life, but the fourth prince Tuoba Yuan, who had just married her.
It is also a coincidence that Tuoba Yuan only went down to the south of the Yangtze River not long ago, and he happened to meet a miracle doctor.
The divine doctor's name is Hua Chun, and he is the descendant of Hua Tuo.
He has been studying the epidemic incognito in the mountains, and although he has suffered a lot of losses, the results have been very fruitful.
Although Li Changge did not go there in person, he knew a lot of things.
In order to prevent her from being bored, Tuoba Yuan deliberately asked people to record these things as a script and pass them on to her, so that she would not be idle all day long.
She pondered in the room for a few hours, but decided to tell Topa Truss about it.
After all, this person is now her future husband on the surface, with both glory and loss.
"This is for you," Li Changge took out a note from the book, which detailed the address of Hua Chun's seclusion.
Tuoba Truss stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at it roughly, and looked puzzled, "This is?" ”
She sighed and didn't tell him the truth, "When I accompanied my father on a trip to the rivers in the past, I was fortunate enough to meet a miracle doctor. He is a descendant of Hua Tuo, and he has made great achievements in epidemic research, so he should be helpful to you. ”
I didn't expect her to think of this, since the mother left the concubine, no one can put himself in his shoes and think so much.
He smiled lightly, bowed his head and said nothing, but a warm current surged in his heart.
"I already know the ins and outs of this matter, and it was Concubine Li who got in the way to let you go to the Jiangnan area for disaster relief. After thousands of calculations, she still missed her move. Li Changge pursed his lips quietly, and his tone was flat, "But this can also reflect that her ability to blow the wind in front of the emperor is good, so we can't take more precautions." ”
How could Tuoba Truss not know what she meant, and when she thought of what had happened recently, she didn't feel that it was a wake-up call.
"What Changge said is reasonable, this incident happened too suddenly, and everyone didn't expect it. Since Concubine Li can talk about the first time by her father's side, there will be a second and a third time, and it will only become more and more dangerous in the future. ”
"The emperor favors her like this, I'm afraid it's because what she says is what he wants." Li Changge glanced at him and said in a low voice, "But anyone who can stop the four princes from ascending to the throne is her enemy. And like you, who is the first person she uses as cannon fodder, she will never let you go. ”
Tuoba Truss quietly twisted the note in his hand until it became curly.
The cool breeze blew in through the window, and Li Changge shivered subconsciously.
She turned her head to look back, not knowing when Tuoba's hand had covered her shoulder.
"Changge is so worried about me, does it mean that he has already regarded me as your husband?"
A small sound sounded in her ears, and a burning sensation swept over her.
Li Changge's body was slightly stiff, and he couldn't find his voice for a long time.
"Don't worry, I haven't experienced a good life with Changge, how can I be willing to go to see Lord Yama first?" Tuoba Truss gently kissed her on the forehead, and tasted it, "Peace of mind at home, wait for me to come back." ”
Before he could respond, he jumped out of the window.
There is no trace of coming, and there is no trace of leaving.
Li Changge touched his forehead with his fingertips, only to feel that it was like a fever here, and it was a little hot.
The night outside was already dark, and the chill was like a cold cup covering the sky.
A good night's sleep.
Tuoba Truss set off for Jiangnan early the next morning without informing anyone in advance.
When the emperor knew about this, it was already two days later, and he had already started a rescue operation in full swing in Jiangnan.
Tuoba Truss concealed this incident and did not tell outsiders that he had already visited the divine doctor Hua Chun in the middle of the road and took him to Jiangnan to carry out the plague treatment operation together.
Although Li Changge is in the capital, the secret guards will send her the latest news from the Jiangnan side in a timely manner every day, and she can be regarded as able to roughly understand the detailed situation.
At Hua Chun's request, Tuoba Truss did not report such a miracle doctor.
He accompanied the doctor every day to investigate the condition from place to place, and reported it to the court after making slight modifications.
From the day he left, Li Changge began to offer incense and pray in front of the Buddha statue every day.
Some people are worried, and naturally some people are proud.
There was peace in the splendid palace, and Concubine Li leaned on the chaise longue and let the little palace maid dye her nails.
"I really hope that slut won't come back, it's a shame."
Tuoba Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Erchen has already sent someone to follow him, and when the right time comes, he will strive to take him down in one fell swoop." ”
"What happened last time was a lesson, they weren't as easy to deal with as we thought. The strength of the General's Mansion should not be underestimated, and if they are annoyed, it may not end well. ”
Concubine Li's voice was a little ethereal.
Although her idea was achieved that day, Tuoba Truss went to Jiangnan to treat the plague.
But since that day, the emperor has never set foot in this splendid palace for half a step.
Seeing that she is getting older day by day, when she combs her sideburns in the mirror, she has begun to lose her hair one by one.
There are more and more newcomers in the harem, and if you want to win favor simply by relying on your appearance, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
It is necessary to prevent it as early as possible, so as not to delay it later and later.
As it turned out, her worries were not unreasonable.
Huachun's drugs have begun to have initial results after large-scale promotion.
The source of the plague has also been identified and treated.
At the moment, the timing is very good, and Tuoba Truss sent a letter to the capital, hoping to increase the supply of medicines, so that the epidemic can recover more quickly.
The emperor was naturally happy, and no one in the court dared to refute it.
Only when the country is safe, the ministers will begin to fight each other, and the princes will be able to have enough strength to deceive and kill each other.
Just when the situation was good and the operation could be concluded, something happened to Tuoba truss.
