Qingzhou trip

When arriving in Xijing, Henan Province, it means that the capital is almost within easy reach.Zhao Yifang didn't go on a starry night, but planned to rest in Luoyang, Xijing for a few days.Here is the other courtyard of King Shang, and it is also the birthplace of King Shang.When King Shang was young, he worked here as a left-behind officer in Xijing, and later he was taken into "self-management". He left Xijing in order to avoid suspicion, and began his military career for many years.

When the convoy arrived outside Gantong Gate on the west side, Yushi Kangjie had been waiting for a long time. Zhao Yifang could only follow the clear path and write a postcard. Two days ago, he sent someone to Xijing to make arrangements in advance.Even so, Zhao Xiao, the current Liusi and clan clan, used the excuse of going to Beijing to avoid seeing him.Zhao Yifang and Kang Jie exchanged greetings and then ran to King Shang's other courtyard, "It's really because the journey is so fast, I need to see the doctor when I get caught in the cold." Seeing her coughing non-stop, Kang Jie thought Then the stone was put down, "Li Xiulan, Dr. Li is currently in Xijing, and the officer has already asked her to go to the residence to treat His Highness."

Kang Jie's calculation in his heart was that His Royal Highness King Jin had seen a doctor and sent her out of Xijing after he recovered quickly.At present, the climate in the imperial court is treacherous, and King Ying's position as crown prince seems to be shaken. The veteran officials who are used to changing the wind and the wind dare not get involved with this brother and sister.

Zhao Yifang was well aware of this, and after thanking Kang Jie, she went straight back to the other courtyard and thanked the guests behind closed doors.Although the door didn't need to be closed, few guests dared to come to the door. After all, Xijing was a place full of clothes and gatherings of royal relatives and relatives, and the dexterity of eyes and ears was no less than that of Kyoto.But she wants to put on a gesture, and in Li Mei's words, "I look at the 23rd Road in Sijing, and all the officials can go to Wasi to perform." Zhao Yifang smiled and lay under the window of the study, looking out the window "Brother, don't worry about me, he must have his reasons. But we are not welcome in Xijing, so I have to pretend to be a little bit higher."

After half a day's rest, there was a female doctor outside the mansion seeking to see her.Knowing that it was Li Xiulan, Zhao Yifang asked Li Mei to greet her in person.After waiting for a while, I heard a female voice outside the window, "Is the granddaughter of King Shang here?"

A smile spread across Zhao Yifang's lips, "Is there a quack doctor in Luoyang?"

After finishing the words, I saw a woman in plain clothes who was fifty years away standing in front of the door with a smile on her face. Li Xiulan's face was clear and calm, and she only became happy when she saw Zhao Yifang.She cast a reproachful look at King Jin, "Leaving Beijing quietly, what's going on now?"

Zhao Yifang had already stood up, and said respectfully, "I've met Aunt Lan." Li Xiulan had already supported her wrist, and her fingertips were attached to it for a while, then Li Xiulan murmured, "The wind and cold are attacking the lungs, but it's been a while?"

"I started coughing half a day after I came out of the sand sea. His Highness's health has not been better in those days of guarding the city." Li Mo looked at Li Xiulan nervously.

"I heard that this little skinny bone dares to lead soldiers in and out." Li Xiulan used to be a doctor in the army, and she only treated female soldiers.Not to mention the many times of ecstasy, I have also been friends with King Shang for many years.She spoke affectionately to Zhao Yifang, and looked at Zhao Yifang with emotion, "The First World War played out your grandma's aura, and also put myself in a dilemma."

Li Xiulan was seeing doctors in the capital, and there were many schools and schools of thought. I also heard that some people in the Privy Council had figured out what they wanted, turned a blind eye to the siege of the sand sea, and hedged their bets on the forces of the Beixia coup. To plan the safety of the generations, to reduce the age and give money."In the end, King Jin was so angry that he beheaded Li Jiyan, who was so arrogant that he went directly to the city to force marriage.

Naturally, the marriage was voided, but there were already rumors in the court that King Jin wanted to become the second king of Shang.So Li Xiulan said "dilemma": after entering Beijing, I don't know whether I can get out.If you don't go to Beijing, you will be ginseng and have two hearts.

Zhao Yifang is now more worried about her brother, she doesn't take it seriously, "My brother is sick, how can a girl be influenced by rumors? I will definitely go to the capital this time."

There was a weird smile from the corner of Li Xiulan's mouth, she shook her head slightly, and continued to listen to the pulse with her eyes closed.

Zhao Yifang knew that she had listened too much to the scene, and also regarded herself as the same as those people in the capital, so she did not make excuses, and patiently waited for Li Xiulan's diagnosis.At the end, Li Xiulan sighed, "Of course again." Afterwards, Zhao Yifang's arms twisted and twisted several times in her hands.

"Is it cold and painful at night? Just warm compresses?" Li Xiulan asked.

Zhao Yifang lost her mind a little bit. On Shahai's last night, when she felt cold and painful in sleep, Master Xie held her in his arms, gently rubbing her back and limbs.She slept the most soundly that night.

"Your Highness often can't sleep at night, so I just read the mansion's newspaper until dawn." Li Mei was worried for Zhao Yifang, "The earth dragon is always burning at its peak, but His Highness likes to walk around barefoot."

Zhao Yifang glanced at Li Mei helplessly, "I sleep enough during the day."

Li Xiulan pondered for a while, "It's also suffering from cold and evil, and also has yin deficiency and fire." King Guanjin's tongue coating is slippery and white, and his pulse is too tight. It's no wonder that her lung cold has been bad for many days.King Jin's biological mother, brother, and herself were all troubled by this paralysis.A few days ago, Ying Wang had a sudden attack of cold and poison in his heart, so he had difficulty breathing and fell asleep.Zhao Yifang was better, her symptoms were much milder, but she should not be taken lightly.

In the end, Li Xiulan prescribed several prescriptions for Zhao Yifang, performed acupuncture, and instructed, "Your Highness, you are not allowed to have intercourse in the near future."

Zhao Yifang's cheeks were slightly red, and she nodded in agreement.Li Mo has already complained, is Xie Penglai poisoned?When His Highness approached her, her paralysis worsened.

Li Xiulan was not in a hurry to leave after seeing the doctor. She hesitated for a while and asked Jin Wangdao, "Your Highness, what are your plans for reconciliation in the future?"

Seeing her clear eyes and stern expression, Zhao Yifang straightened her mind, "When my brother gets better, I will ask the imperial court to allocate troops, horses, food and grass to help prevent the sand sea, and then I will go back..." She paused, "This king is already here Shahai married."

Li Xiulan caught a glimpse of Zhao Yifang's hand clutching the brocade bag at her waist, and her face was full of embarrassment.She was startled at first, and then changed her mind, "No wonder... Your Highness is going to kill the bandit leader Li Jiyan." But the prince's marriage is unknown to everyone in the court, but it is also strange. Li Xiulan, who has heard about the anecdote of King Jin, guessed about [-]% to [-]% of it, " I don't know which girl?"

When the king of Shang was alive, he had no choice but to talk about his granddaughter with Li Xiulan, "She is the courage of hammering the sky, and her thoughts are flamboyant and delicate. She was born with a daughter, but she likes her daughter's family. The child identified that one, ten years later I never let go of my mouth."

When asked who it was, King Shang's eyes cleared up when he was dying of illness, "The female Xie Yuan Xie Penglai from Jibei, I sent to Ah Zhi to practice. It's really a lucky fate, the two of them will definitely meet. If that child is really recruited into my palace, it will harm Fang Niang and herself." On the contrary, if the child can earn a way in the sand sea, he will develop a heart and courage.

"Xie Penglai, Magistrate of Shahai County." King Jin was full of pride when he spoke out the name of his sweetheart, "This is also the person my king admired when he was in Jibei."

"For the sake of my sweetheart, I don't plan to go back to Beijing." Li Xiulan smiled.

"Aunt Lan, I didn't go to Shahai solely because of her." The content in Zhao Yifang's eyes gave Li Xiulan a sense of familiarity, and the king of Shang who once held a lamp in her tent and talked about the northern war at night also had such resolute eyes.

"Then the old lady will go to Shahai first, and wait for His Highness to come back." Li Xiulan heard that there was a strange disease in the Northwest, which was caused by eating green and white salt. She felt strange and decided to go there in person.

"I'll write a letter for Aunt Lan, and she will arrange it when I see Master Xie." King Jin asked Li Xiulan to wait for a while, and hastily wrote two letters asking her to take them to Shahai.The other letter was of course a private letter to Xie Penglai. The two of them already had a tacit understanding regardless of the letter, and they were also worried that the news would leak during the delivery.

Li Xiulan put away the two letters, "Tomorrow I will come back for acupuncture and moxibustion, together with medicine, most of your arthralgia will be relieved." The rest depends on how King Jin recuperates.Before leaving, she thought for a while, and decided to say something more, "Your Majesty sent a deputy commander in front of the palace to stay by King Ying's side. I met him when I went to see a doctor in the mansion last month."

Zhao Yifang's eyes lit up suddenly, she nodded, she kicked off her shoes after seeing Li Xiulan out, "Did you hear that?" she asked Li Mei.

"Listen clearly." Li Mo nodded, "It means that His Majesty's body energy is not necessarily smooth, and he is always on guard." The Wende Palace's ruler is not good, but his mind is better than a sieve, and he is best at playing with the false and the true people's hearts.

"Brother, don't worry, my health is important. He asked me to wait in Xijing..." Zhao Yifang finally understood King Ying's intentions, "Once something happens, I can enter the capital as soon as possible, and stay in the northwest as far away as possible. Brother, this is not right. Don't worry about the Privy Council." But she only brought a hundred of her own soldiers, which might not be enough in times of crisis.

"The commander of the Xijing Forbidden Army Xiaosheng Army used to be under the account of King Shang, and the commander of the inspection department also made friends with brother in the capital." Zhao Yifang revealed King Ying's intention, "brother didn't mention this in advance, he was just waiting and watching My king."

The Wende Palace and the Privy Council saw her as a thorn in their side. Even if the elder brother couldn't bear it, he was wary of himself in every possible way. If he could rely on her, he would rely on her.Two of the most powerful men in Beijing did not forget themselves when they were dying of illness.Zhao Yifang smiled wryly, "I really don't know where this king aroused their suspicion?"

Li Mei served her tea, "Because the king of Shang once commanded half of the forbidden army, and his fighting power was extremely strong. Also because in the clan, His Majesty will not want to stay in the first line, and Taizong's line has withered to this point. The old ones are old. Small and small, the only ones who can pass the throne are King Ying and His Highness you. In this world, the results of passing the throne to King Ying and His Highness will be very different."

Zhao Yifang looked at the dry pond outside the window, "How is it different?"

"Gangchang ethics is nothing more than the monarch, minister, minister, father and son. They think that if King Ying succeeds to the throne, the world will continue to run like this. If His Highness succeeds, there will be chaos and wars at least, and a change of dynasty in severe cases." Li Mei also drank tea. mouth, "If the word 'morality' is written by a woman, they dare not think about it."

Zhao Yifang's hands were warmed by the teacup, and she turned her head with a smile, "Then why don't you kill me, but force me to marry Beixia?"

"Isn't that treating His Royal Highness as a scourge? Letting you enter Beixia will cause chaos in that country. Why don't people in the capital sit and watch the tigers fight?" Seeing that King Jin's face changed slightly, Li Mo said, "Your Highness, what are you doing?" You must endure these days, until King Ying can rest assured of his power."

Zhao Yifang nodded, "My lord knows." Thinking of the ceremonial officer Fan Heng who accompanied her, she put on her shoes, "My lord is going to meet old acquaintances."

Li Mo guessed her thoughts, sighed sadly, "Is it so?"

"Didn't he already guess it? He's a bit smart. With such a long tongue, why not go back to the capital and sing a song—Jin Wang Zhao Yifang is married in private, and only loves women." Zhao Yifang laughed, "Brother, I'd love to see you of."

"Xie Penglai is also happy to see?" Li Mei was worried about them.

Zhao Yifang put down the teacup, took out the invitation letter, "Thank you for knowing me, Master."
