Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 823 Super Poison
After tying up the straw figure and writing the name, Queen Wang put the straw figure under the pillow, planning to find a chance to repair Concubine Xiao Shu.

In the imperial palace, witchcraft is extremely taboo, such as people who tie grass, it was especially prevalent during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and even more so in the North.At that time, the countries in the northern part of the Central Plains were mainly established by the Hu people. The Xianbei people were popular with witchcraft, and the great wizards especially liked the people who tied grass.

However, even a grass-pricking person must have technical content, such as the hair and nails of the cursed person, or the date of birth.Because this kind of atmosphere is very serious, and at that time most of them believed in ghosts and gods, and good beliefs were nothing more than good ones. The worse and scarier things, the more people believed in them.

Therefore, the royal family has strict regulations. The birth dates of royal descendants are strictly forbidden to be leaked. This rule was kept until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the end of the feudal dynasty. For example, during the Kangxi period, when the princes competed for the throne, they used this trick. Woolen cloth!
If Queen Wang was really in Concubine Xiao Shu's bedroom and "searched" out the straw man, then Concubine Xiao Shu would be thrown into the cold palace directly, and could not be released again for the rest of her life. He can't tolerate this kind of thing when he cleans up his little wife.

Ganlu Temple.

Li Zhi and the prime ministers were talking about the Eastern Expedition.This Eastern Expedition will start with the crusade against the anti-king Li Ke in Yingzhou, and the end point will be the complete destruction of Goguryeo.

In ancient wars, the emphasis was on spring battles and autumn defenses. Launching an offensive in the spring and attacking the enemy's country can prevent the enemy from plowing in the spring and planting crops, which means that there will be no harvest for a year.In autumn, in order to prevent the enemies who were beaten red-eyed from counterattacking, the army withdrew to defend its own crops.This method of warfare can consume a large amount of the enemy's material reserves. For example, in the chaotic wars of various countries during the Warring States Period, this basic tactic was often used.

But for the upcoming Eastern Expedition, the Spring War is no longer suitable, because the spring has passed, and when the army is assembled in Yingzhou, it is probably already autumn, so the tactics of the Spring War and the Autumn Defense need to be slightly changed .

Li Zhi sat behind the Long Shuan, listlessly listening to the reports of the prime ministers.

Ma Zhou is the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, and planning is his job, so naturally he should speak first.Ma Zhou said: "Your Majesty, this Eastern Expedition is probably going to be a New Year's Eve. This year's war cannot and will not end. The old minister has made a plan, which can be summarized as burning Goguryeo this year and launching a war of conquest after the beginning of spring next year. "

Li Zhi's thoughts are all on Wu Meiniang, but the Eastern Expedition is a serious matter, even if he doesn't like to hear it, he has to listen.He said, "What about Yingzhou?"

Ma Zhou hurriedly said: "Yingzhou is not the focus of the Eastern Expedition, it is just an excuse. The Goguryeo people helped the anti-Wang Xiaoke, and they committed a heinous crime. As soon as our army arrives in Yingzhou, we will take back Yingzhou. This battle is basically, our army Once we arrive, we will be victorious. The problem is that after recovering Yingzhou, our army will take advantage of the situation to attack Goguryeo.”

Changsun Wuji also said: "Your Majesty, in the past, when my master of the Tang Dynasty attacked Goguryeo, our main purpose was to occupy land, but this time we are different. When we launched an attack in autumn, after entering Goguryeo, we did not go to capture the city, but to attack Goguryeo. Mainly burning local crops, destroying all materials outside the city, making it impossible for the cities of Goguryeo to survive the winter, so that after winter comes, some smaller cities will voluntarily surrender, and the large cities will also run out of reserves, waiting for spring When the green is not ready, our army will start a large-scale attack again, and we can get twice the result with half the effort, occupying the cities of Goguryeo on a large scale, and the land of Liaodong can be included in our Datang territory."

But Ma Zhou said: "My lord Changsun's words are wrong. It's not that the Liaodong land was included in our Tang territory, but that our Tang regained the lost lands of our ancestors. Those lands originally belonged to our Central Plains."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Yes, the old man made a mistake, but Ma Xiang corrected him."

Wang Pingan was also standing in the crowd. After hearing the plan, he thought to himself: "There is no need to be so troublesome. There are many civil wars in Goguryeo now. No matter how the Tang Dynasty sends troops, it will win. But then again, the plan should be more thorough. Even better, it can save the soldiers from losses.”

He touched his chest, and there was a small box in his pocket, which contained pills. It was the "super poison" he had prepared for Shi Zhongchen, and it was actually a strong anesthetic.In this era, because few doctors can perform surgery, the use of anesthetics is not popular. Although there is Mafeisan left by Hua Tuo, most people just hear the name and don't know the truth, so they use anesthetics to fool history. Loyal minister, it is absolutely possible.

At this time, the prime ministers hung up the map, and Ma Zhou began to explain in detail how to launch an offensive in autumn, what the offensive route would be, where to burn first, and which cities to occupy first after the spring of next year.

After talking for a long time, the plan was finished, and Li Zhi yawned profusely.

After Ma Zhou finished speaking, he looked at Wang Ping'an and said, "No disease, what do you think of this old man's plan?"

The Zhongshu Province made the plan, the Menxia Province reviewed the plan, and the Shangshu Province implemented the plan.Ma Zhou's plan is finished, now it's Wang Ping'an's turn to speak, who made him a servant, and what he's in charge of is the review.

Wang Pingan hurried forward, looked at the map, gestured on the map with his fingers, gestured away, nodded, "reviewed" for a long time, then hummed, and said: "The plan made by the teacher is absolutely perfect, The students originally wanted to find faults, but they started to find faults, but they couldn't find any faults!"

The prime ministers laughed together, and Ma Zhou laughed and said, "Don't flatter me just because you are my disciple. Disciples don't have to be inferior to teachers. Just say what you want."

Wang Pingan sighed: "What should be said is that the students admire such a perfect plan. The students can't make it. It seems that they haven't fully learned the skills of their mentor!"

Ma Zhou said with a smile: "Do you want to learn the skills of this old man? Why don't you go to the old man's house after you are off duty every day, and the old man will teach you step by step. Let's learn from "The Analects of Confucius" first."

Li Zhi didn't want to hear their jokes, and said: "Then do it like this? Uncle, I will leave the matter of the Eastern Expedition to you. You can do it. I am tired. I want to go back and rest. If there is anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow!" , he is leaving.

Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "Hold on, Your Majesty. The plan for the Eastern Expedition is completed, and the expedition is about to start. The preparations are basically done. Only the oath parade is left. Your Majesty, you must preside over it yourself."

When he said this, Changsun Wuji's heart beat wildly. Li Zhi once sent a message to him through Wang Ping'an, saying that he would be asked to parade the army on behalf of the emperor.At that time, he thought that Li Zhi wanted to appoint Li Sujie as the prince, but things have developed to the present, and it has become Li Zhong as the prince. In this way, I don't know whether Li Zhi will still let him parade on behalf of the emperor. This is supreme Glory, he didn't want to miss it.

Li Zhi had long forgotten about the military parade on behalf of the emperor.Li Zhi is a man of high moral character. Others cross the river and demolish the bridge, but he never does such immoral things, because after he crosses the river, he never remembers that there is such a thing as a bridge. Demolished.

Li Zhi frowned and said, "You want me to preside over it myself?"

He remembered the matter of Taimiao. He was really afraid of holding the ceremony. It was too cumbersome and tiring. After working so hard, he didn't want to be the emperor anymore.

Changsun Wuji was very nervous. Seeing that Li Zhi was noncommittal, he hurriedly looked at Wang Ping'an.Wang Ping'an understood immediately, his uncle was in a hurry, he had to solve the problem quickly!

Wang Ping'an said: "Your Majesty, the swearing-in ceremony is a major event and the most important thing. But Goguryeo is a mere country of dung, and it seems that you are not qualified to host the swearing-in ceremony yourself, Your Majesty. That is too high to look at Goguryeo!"

Li Zhi listened, nodded and said: "You are right about Wubing, Goguryeo is not qualified."

Wang Pingan said again: "And my master Wang wants to go to Yingzhou first, which is related to Wang Xiaoke. Anyway, Xiaoke and the emperor used to be siblings. If the emperor personally presides over the conquest, from a human point of view, I'm afraid it will be a little bit of that." ...Well, um, if you don’t want to do something as trivial as the military parade, why don’t you leave it to someone else!”

Li Zhi nodded immediately, it's better to be free of illness, everything is for my sake.Li Zhi opened his mouth and said, "Let's leave it to Wubing to do it for you, and take the oath of military parade on my behalf!"

Changsun Wuji raised his eyes, what happened, how did he become Wang Pingan, did the emperor forget what he said before!
Wang Pingan grinned, what are you doing, why did you assign me, I am not interested in this kind of thing, let someone who is interested do it!He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no, although you don't have to go to the military parade in person for your Majesty, but as far as I am concerned, the treasure king of Goguryeo is my godson no matter what, and I have to preside over it." This ceremony, in terms of human feelings, is not too old, it is better to find a transcendent person..."

Li Zhi said: "Transcendence? All right, then let Master Ma go!" When he thought of Transcendence, he thought of Ma Zhou.

Changsun Wuji almost made his eyes pop out of anger, why did he change to Ma Zhou again, why can't he remember me!
Wang Pingan secretly glanced at Changsun Wuji, thinking: "He won't beat me up?" Hastily said again: "Your Majesty, I think Mr. Ma is indeed the best candidate, but Mr. Ma is busy with affairs, so he may not be able to get away. , why don’t you bother Mr. Changsun once, and let him parade the army on behalf of the emperor and preside over the swearing-in ceremony!”

Changsun Wuji thought to himself: "This sounds like a human saying!"

Li Zhi snorted, looked at Changsun Wuji, and said, "Uncle, you probably don't want to do this kind of thing, it's very tiring!"

Changsun Wuji is really going to faint, I don't want to?I have been waiting for a long time, can I not want to!He said: "The military parade is indeed very tiring, but the veteran is in charge of the military department, this kind of thing is the duty of the veteran..."

Wang Pingan said from the side: "Military parade is more tiring than lottery. My uncle, you are getting old. Logically speaking, you should not work for you. But this is a major national event. You should work harder for the emperor. Share some!"

Chu Suiliang and Fang Xuanling also echoed their voices, and they all advised Changsun Wuji to take the affairs of the world as his own responsibility.

Ma Zhou sounds amused, look at the elder grandson like that, if he is not allowed to parade, he will probably jump up!He also said: "Your Majesty, it is most appropriate for the eldest grandson to handle this matter!"

Li Zhi smiled and said: "Of course that's all right. If my uncle can go, I can rest assured. Let my uncle take the oath of military parade on my behalf!" After finishing speaking, he looked at everyone impatiently, meaning that if there is nothing wrong, What should everyone do?
The ministers looked at their words and said that it was all right, so Li Zhi left the Ganlu Palace and went to find Wu Meiniang to do something.

Out of the main hall, Changsun Wuji pulled Wang Pingan over, and said with a soft smile, "No illness, I have been busy these two days, and I haven't discussed it with you in detail, but Concubine Xiao Shu's sudden attack on that day, did it surprise you? "

Wang Pingan said: "Isn't it? I almost scared my little nephew out. By the way, uncle, how did you manage to not make two sets of gold medals?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Everyone's attention is on the gold medal, so I do the opposite. There is nothing wrong with the gold medal. The problem lies in the gold box. The old man made someone do it under the gold box." After the mechanism, the gold medal is put in, only Shuntian will be able to pick it up, the other gold medals are fixed, so the little prince has been fumbling for a long time, he can only afford one, of course it is a success!"

After all, he laughed out loud, full of ambition, and of course he was happy that the important matter of Li Chu was controlled by him. If it weren't for the fact that this matter could not be made public, then he would have to say it to everyone, and it would definitely be "famous in history".

Wang Pingan groaned, he remembered that before Xiao Yu checked the lottery, Changsun Wuji seemed to have touched the gold box unintentionally, probably by closing the mechanism, so the remaining gold medals could be picked up again. Under the signature verification, it is naturally "fair" and "just".

Wang Pingan said: "Our Tang Dynasty really has no shortage of skilled craftsmen. Such a sophisticated mechanism box can be made."

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "It's not our Tang's, it's... anyway, he's already... the weather is very good today, why don't we go have a drink or two?"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "If it's not a craftsman from the Tang Dynasty, then it's from a foreign country. It seems that it has been silenced." He said: "My nephew really wants to drink with my uncle, but I have something to go to Director Shi , so I can’t accompany my uncle, I have to see a doctor for him!”

Changsun Wuji patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then you go!" He took Chu Suiliang and they left together.

Wang Pingan bypassed the Ganlu Hall, went to the Guanyun Hall, and entered the hall after reporting. Seeing that Shi Zhongchen looked much better, he was walking around in the hall.He said happily, "Uncle Shi, your health is much better!"

Shi Zhongchen sighed in his heart: "I have to go to work, it's not good if I'm not in good health. Alas, unfortunately, it can only be said that it's just a flashback. I guess I will collapse once the work is over, and I won't get up again."

Shi Zhongchen asked: "Did you bring that thing?"

Wang Pingan took out a small box from his arms, handed it up, and said, "My nephew brought it. But this medicine is extremely difficult to prepare, so I only have one pill. Uncle Shi, this medicine is extremely strong, and it must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary." !"

Shi Zhongchen opened the box, looked at the pills, then looked up at Wang Pingan, and said, "Is it really effective?"
