Chapter 198: Cutting Meat with a Blunt Knife
Li Zhang sat down on the chair next to him and sighed: "There are so many things in the palace in the past two days!" Alas, this illness in the official family really caused chaos in the harem, and I am afraid that it will take a hard time for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Xu Ping lay on the chair and said to Li Zhang: "What do the courtiers say now?" Does it mean that the emperor wants to cultivate himself? ”
"That's not all! Now it is said that the official family was lazy about women some time ago and had no intention of national politics, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the inheritance passed down from the ancestors will be buried. Last night, the two beauties of Shang Yang had been sent out of the palace. ”
Xu Ping frowned: "It's not right that the emperor's body is to blame on the woman." If you want me to say, it's better to drink too much and stay up late and eat too much meat. Sending the two beauties out of the palace, the emperor's living habits will not change, and he will still have to suffer in the future. You are on an errand in the gate, when you have time, talk to the emperor. ”
"Say what? What else can I control the official family to eat? ”
"Let the emperor not be greedy, live regularly, and eat regularly and quantitatively. Also, eat more vegetables, eat less meat, and exercise often. The body is well, everything else is a subsection, what else do people say when you see it. ”
Li Zhang shook his head: "It's better for you to say it yourself." Although I am my own cousin, the official family is still willing to listen to you. ”
Xu Ping smiled and said, "Me? Looking at this situation, I won't have a chance to play alone for a while. Not surprisingly, now the emperor and the outside will ask the emperor to take care of his body, and the government will be abandoned for a period of time. ”
Li Zhang sighed again, shook his head, and didn't say anything. Now the government is handled by the ruling minister, and he makes a brief report to Zhao Zhen in the side hall every day. Even many of Zhao Zhen's closest relatives were restricted from entering the palace, and at Xu Ping's level, he didn't know what year of the monkey Ma Yue would wait to meet.
After being silent for a while, Li Zhang said again: "This morning's edict, Shang Meiren became a Taoist monk in Dongzhen Palace, and Yang Meiren was placed in a separate house outside the palace. Previously, when Empress Dowager Liu was in power, many of the ministers sent palace maids to the palace, and they were all sent home. Also, the abolished Queen Guo also left the palace and lived in Yaohua Palace. The last sentence is: 'The position of Changqiu, not for a long time, should seek virtue, and govern internally. 'Does this mean that you want to choose a queen?' ”
Xu Ping nodded: "Yes, I want to choose the queen." - However, the emperor is still in the filial piety period, is this good? ”
"I heard that it was Lu Xianggong's idea, and I was worried that Empress Dowager Yang would not be able to control the harem, and there would be two beauties in the palace, so I wanted to choose the queen to control it. Back then, Xue Shilang insisted on deleting the words and phrases in the edict that asked Empress Dowager Yang to be called, but Lu Xianggong did not agree very much. Now speaking of which, Empress Dowager Yang is not in charge, and the name of the harem is not right, so she let the two beauties be favored. Only by choosing another queen can we control these. ”
When the Empress Dowager Liu died, the edict asked the Empress Dowager Yang to call the system, although she did not hang the curtain, but she still participated in the government to contain the pro-government emperor. Xue Kui resolutely objected and asked him to delete this sentence in the edict, otherwise one queen mother would go and another queen mother would come again, and the emperor would not be right. Lu Yijian did not insist, and deleted this sentence when the edict was announced.
Now taking advantage of Zhao Zhen's illness and rehashing the old words, Lu Yijian is also showing his foresight. Zhao Zhen is in his prime, how can he be able to control the woman's sex, he should find someone to take care of him.
Xu Ping disagrees with this, and can't solve the practical problem just by thinking about women. As the emperor, Zhao Zhen has how many political affairs to deal with all day long, and where does he have time to lie on a woman's belly all day long. It's not that he doesn't ignore the government anymore, in fact, he has always wanted to be diligent in the two years he has been in power. These ministers are also unreliable, and when it comes to the sky, they can control the emperor, and they can only do it on the side of women.
After thinking about it, Xu Ping still asked Li Zhang: "The emperor's chapter presents the queen mother's filial piety has not been removed, and the election of the queen is a bit inappropriate, and there are no ministers in the court to oppose it?" ”
"Lu Xianggong said that the Son of Heaven counts days and months, and the official family has already left the filial piety period."
Xu Ping shook his head, and his words were a bit strong. Counting the months in days is to not delay the government, although it is true that filial piety is removed after 100 days, but life generally insists on calculating the filial piety period on the actual date. Empress Dowager Liu has died less than three years ago, and Empress Lili will definitely let people gossip at this time. Lu Yijian also insisted, showing his previous foresight.
As for Zhao Zhen's opinion, no one listens to it at all now, he is indeed often tired of being with the two beauties, and he is indeed sick, he made a mistake, and he honestly listens to other people's arrangements.
Although it is said that it is the fault of the two beauties of Shang and Yang, Yang Meiren is not a big mistake except for being favored, and she does not use her position to benefit her family, so she is just placed in another house, and she can return to the palace when the time is ripe in the future. And Shang Meiren is different, pampered and arrogant, disrupting the government, and directly sent to Dongzhen Palace as a sinner.
If you want to elect a new queen, Queen Guo, who has been living in Changle Palace since she was deposed, is not suitable to live in the palace, so she was sent out of the palace together this time. However, what the hell is Yaohua Palace?
Unable to help it, Xu Ping asked Li Zhang: "Empress Guo lives in Yaohua Palace, why haven't you heard of this Yaohua Palace?" Where is it? ”
"It is the Anhe Courtyard near the left side of Qionglin Garden, the edict gave the title of Jinting Sect Master, Chong Jing Yuanshi, lived there, changed its name to Yaohua Palace, and it was the place where the monks lived."
Xu Ping nodded, it turned out that he had set up a new palace view for the women of the palace.
During the Tang Dynasty, Taoism was regarded as the state religion, and many women in the royal family became female Taoists, which was a fashion for a while. They are of high status, and their actions are largely unrestrained, and they are not assigned sinners. Unlike the Song and Tang dynasties, Taoism did not have such a high status, except for a very few truly devout believers, those who entered the Tao were all sinners who were allocated, and they had no personal freedom, and their status naturally could not be compared. Even more for use, I want to be like a princess, a female crown and then a concubine.
These disturbances are naturally extremely important in the eyes of people at this time, but Xu Ping has no interest. It's just the emperor's private matter, and outsiders don't interfere yet, so what can be the result? The small family in my own family has nothing to do with these things in any way, so there is no need to worry about it.
Li Zhang himself is a relative, and he is more concerned about these things than Xu Ping. But his family has only recognized his relatives for two or three years, and the people in that circle are not familiar, and they are in a hurry, and there is no way to change anything.
This time, Empress Dowager Yang was forced by the courtiers to carry out a major purge of the palace, which offended many people. Originally, Yang Jingzong was still able to carry out activities, but when he encountered this kind of thing, he was pushed to the end and sent to the remote state army to supervise the liquor tax. Empress Dowager Yang couldn't say anything about her suffering, so she had to pinch her nose and admit it.
At this time, Xiuxiu walked in from outside and said to Xu Ping: "Official, Imperial Doctor Wang has arrived, saying that he is going to use the knife and medicine for the official, do you want him to come in?" ”
Xu Ping hurriedly got up from the chair and said, "Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to come in!" It's better to have a good time, endure this time, and go to the root of the disease! ”
Li Zhang was curious and asked, "Brother, where are you uncomfortable?" Why do you still need to go under the knife? ”
Xu Ping pointed to his face and said, "Do you see it?" My face is so swollen that I don't dare to go out to meet people now! A few days ago, the doctor said that he wanted to ripen the lesions inside, and when the time came to release the pus, it would be completely healed. In the past two days, I have been taking those ripening medicines every day, and I have been implicated in the pain of pins and needles on this half of my face, which is unspeakably painful! Alas, Su Niang still complains every day that I shouldn't have pulled out that tooth, day and night. Brother, you don't know this day—"
As he spoke, Xu Ping shook his head again and again, sighing.
Li Zhang looked at Xu Ping's appearance and knew that he was having a hard time these days. Su'er was brought out by Lin Suniang, how could she not know that temper? Daily life is naturally good, but once something is really hearted, it can never be forgotten, and you have to say a few words when you are free. Lin Suniang is now pregnant again, and her temper is afraid that it will not be too good, Xu Ping went against her mind, and her ears naturally cannot be idle.
After a while, Xiuxiu came in with Imperial Doctor Wang, and Xu Ping and Li Zhang stepped forward to salute.
Imperial Physician Wang stepped forward to look at the swollen half of Xu Ping's face, checked the pulse again, and said after a while: "The swelling and fire in this place of the county marquis is almost over, as long as you make a small opening in a suitable place, squeeze out all the pus inside, and then put some medicinal powder on it to bandage it, and take a few pairs of medicine to clear heat and remove fire, you will be able to heal." ”
"So what are you waiting for? Let's go under the knife! Xu Ping took off his robe and handed it to Xiuxiu. How? Did the Imperial Doctor forget to bring a knife? I have all kinds of knives in my house! The small wrist unraveling knife, the big Pu knife dropping the knife, you name it! ”
"The marquis of the county laughed, this is to use an authoritarian small silver knife, I naturally have it." Imperial Physician Wang said, taking off the small medicine box on his back and putting it aside. "But when the knife is used, there is some pain, and the marquis must endure it."
Hearing this, Xu Ping smiled: "How much pain can it be?" Doctor, you tell you, since this tooth has grown crooked, I haven't had a day of peace! As long as I can get to the root of this disease, I can bear the pain! - But you're a little blunt when you cut my face with a silver knife, aren't you? Don't hide it from the doctor, my face is a little hard, so it's better to change to a steel knife. ”
Doctor Wang said: "The prince doesn't need to think about it, as long as he endures the pain, the silver knife is the same." ”
Xu Ping is still a little suspicious, using a silver knife is because silver ions naturally have a sterilization and disinfection effect, but silver is very soft, can it cut his face? In the past, the scalpels used by doctors were all stainless steel, which were abnormally sharp, so that they could alleviate the pain of patients, so why should they have to be cut with blunt knives?
Thinking of this, Xu Ping said to Xiuxiu, who was standing aside: "Xiuxiu, you go to the study and take out our medicine box, and let the medical alcohol disinfect the knife." If it really doesn't work, it's the same to ask the imperial doctor to change a steel knife and use alcohol to disinfect the poison. Cutting meat with a silver knife, no matter how I think about it, it's unreliable. ”
Xiuxiu said yes and turned to go. Now that there are conditions, Xu Ping will naturally prepare some medical equipment according to the habits of his previous life, just in case. It's just that his medical skills are really not good, and he hasn't used them much until now. (To be continued.) )
