Zhuo Qihua

Emperor Yong'an decreed that he would not go to court this month, and he would go to Fengtian Hall for important events that needed to be reported.Zhuo Ji came back, he wanted to discuss with Zhuo Ji about Nan Yue, and he also told Zhuo Ji about the decision to retaliate against the northern barbarians, Zhuo Ji didn't object, and Emperor Yong'an had to let Emperor Yong'an do this.

Zhuo Ji's whole body was sore, but he came back, and the translation of the nautical chart and the nautical diary needed to continue.Navigation is a national policy and cannot be delayed.Emperor Yong'an respected Zhuo Ji's wishes for this matter, and he called King Qin.Zhuo Ji moved his mouth, and King Qin was in charge of doing it.Liu Haoyue, who was originally at home on vacation, was called into the palace again.Zhuo Ji dictated and translated the nautical diary, while Liu Haoyue was in charge of writing.However, Emperor Yong'an only allowed him to work for two hours a day.When Emperor Yong'an was discussing matters with his ministers in the Hall of Discipline, Zhuo Ji was in Taoyuan Pavilion drawing nautical charts and translating the logbook with King Qin and Liu Haoyue.Emperor Yong'an "leaves work", and Zhuo Ji also leaves work.

After shutting the door for eight days, the soreness on Zhuo Ji's body finally disappeared.After returning home, Emperor Yong'an "slept with him" every night, and Zhuo Ji was no longer affected by nightmares. He ate well and slept well. Although he was still very thin, his spirit had basically recovered. After all, he was still young and recovered well. quick.During this period, Zhuo Ji, Hu Pengju, and Wei Yingshi researched four prescriptions—pharyngitis mixture, cough syrup for adults, cough syrup for children, and Fengyoujing.

Emperor Yong'an's cough healed up, but Zhuo Ji blamed himself for his carelessness.I have been with Emperor Yong'an for more than three years, and Emperor Yong'an has no illness or pain. Zhuo Ji just forgot that this emperor will get sick.The Imperial Medical Office has decoction prescriptions for relieving cough, but they are always bitter and the effect is not particularly good.On the basis of his memory, Zhuo Ji combined with the prescriptions in Hu Pengju's hands to improve, and developed three cough medicine prescriptions.The Fengyoujing was decided after this trip to Guangnan.

As soon as Zhuo Ji came back, the Academy of Military Medical Sciences became even more busy, but Hu Pengju had a smile on his face.He would rather be busy himself, and he doesn't want to see Yu Zuo go out of Beijing again.

Yelu Buyan and Yelu Tangkuo were completely forgotten.Even the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager never mentioned them again, leaving them to fend for themselves in the West Third Courtyard.

On the 20th day of Zhuo Ji's return, Chang Jing, Yuan Xiu, Wu San, Jin Dashi and Zhuo Ji's palace guards returned.Qin Zhongyi and the Musketeers and Special Battalion soldiers who followed Zhuo Ji to Guangnan stayed temporarily in Guangnan to fight.

Cang Zhusheng prepared more than a dozen carts of "filial piety (compensation) respect (salute)", saying that it was for His Majesty, but in fact it was for 俍俍.It was also because of these dozens of cars that Chang Jing and the others were delayed on their way.Zhuo Ji only kept the medicinal materials, and let Emperor Yong'an distribute the rest to the various palaces in the name of rewards.Zhuo Ji asked Xiaohui to dress him up, and took a box of freshly baked honey almond cakes to Shoukang Palace.

Qin Su, Pan Beigu, and Cang Zhusheng had already led troops into Southern Guangdong, and this memorial was handed over to Emperor Yong'an a few days before Chang Jing and others arrived in Beijing.In the past few days, Emperor Yong'an spent a long time discussing affairs in Fengtian Hall, because of the war in Southern Guangdong.Meng Zha died of serious injuries, and Tucha Village emerged one by one, vying for the position of the leader of Tucha Village.Baibuzhai, who was overwhelmed by himself, rejected the request of the Mata country, Qin Su was not polite, since he refused, there was nothing to say.With His Majesty's clear decree and the meaning of 忍俍, the army of the Mata country marched into Southern Guangdong.

The manufacturing plant in Mata country produced masks day and night and shipped them to Guangnan.A large number of people from southern Guangdong defected to Mata country with their families.Southern Guangdong became more and more chaotic, with dead bodies and sick people everywhere.The Matata army led by Qin Su, Pan Beigu, and Cang Zhusheng advanced in one fell swoop, but on the way, they also rescued the sick people in southern Guangdong.The leader of Baibuzhai held on, but the leaders of many small tribes and small villages affiliated to Baibuzhai had sent people to secretly contact the generals of the Mata State, and they wanted to submit to the Mata State.

In the Xingxing Hall, Emperor Yong'an was in a good mood, and the ministers were also in a good mood.Zhuo Ji who came to Shoukang Palace was trying to appease the distressed queen mother.The Empress Dowager sent out the palace attendants, leaving only Aunt Shen who knew the inside story.Touching Zhuo Ji's hand, touching Zhuo Ji's face, the queen mother's eyes were red: "If I knew that you would rush back so desperately, I wouldn't send Wu San to find you."

Zhuo Ji: "If you don't send Wu San to look for me, I will be more worried afterwards. Don't talk about it. Queen Mother, the cook in my palace has made a new cake. Let's have afternoon tea."

The Queen Mother pressed the corners of her eyes and smiled: "Okay. Have afternoon tea."

Zhuo Ji asked Chang Jing to invite Huangguixie, Guixie, Xiguifei, Mingyu, Zhaoyi, Chunyan, Wenfei and Xiaofei to have afternoon tea together.After the royal concubine and the others arrived, the Shoukang Palace became lively.Because Qi Yiguo, Concubine Wen and Concubine Xiao didn't know that Zhuo Ji had gone to Guangnan before, no one mentioned it.Everyone ate delicious honey almond cake and drank good tea, enjoying themselves happily.Qi Yiguo, Concubine Wen and Concubine Xiao saw that she had lost a lot of weight, and thought that she was indeed ill.

Zhuo Ji had afternoon tea with the Queen Mother, Huang Guixie and others in Shoukang Palace.In the Zhixing Hall, Zhang Xian brought in pieces of honey and almond cakes brought in by the palace servants, and said that they were afternoon tea snacks sent to Wansui by the order of Zuo. Emperor Yong'an was in a good mood and greeted all the officials and He had afternoon tea together.Afternoon tea not only has tea and cakes, but also fruits.The monarch and ministers continue to discuss state affairs while eating and drinking, which can be described as a good talk.

It was not until the evening that the afternoon tea was finished.Several people bid farewell to the Queen Mother and left Shoukang Palace.Coming out of Shoukang Palace, Zhuo Ji said: "Brother Mingxi, I want to tell you about opening a cake shop."

Mingyu's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Okay. I also happen to have something to ask you over at Taoyao Pavilion."

Huang Guixie: "Shunxi, if you are free these few days, you can come to my palace and have a seat. I still need to hear your opinion on some matters over there."

Zhuo Ji: "I'll go there after I have dinner tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

The others got on their shoulders and left first.Zhuo Ji didn't sit on the shoulders, Shoukang Palace is not far from Xiangfu Palace, Zhuo Ji said: "Brother Mingyu, let's go."

"what ever."

To be able to walk alone with Shunxi is something Mingyu wished for.

The two walked on the palace road, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Danyang Palace, but Zhuo Ji didn't mention anything about the cake shop.Everyone knows that this is just an excuse for Zhuo Ji to talk to Ming Xun alone, the cake shops in the capital have already opened.Zhuo Ji came back, and Mingyu's confinement came to an end.

"Brother Mingyu, I've worried you for a while."

Mingyu was a little embarrassed: "I was too impulsive, I thought His Majesty..."

Zhuo Ji held Mingyu's hand, Mingyu froze for a moment, the smile on his face widened, and he clenched it tightly.The two were holding hands like children after school.The palace servants of the two followed far behind, not disturbing the two masters talking.

Mingyu lowered his voice: "As soon as you're sick this time, cats and dogs pop out. I know you don't care about these messy things in the palace. It's okay. You just do what you want to do, and those cats and dogs, don't worry about it. Just tidy up for me."

Zhuo Ji smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Mingxi."

Mingyu lowered his head: "Shunxi... If you can, you should give birth to a child."

Zhuo Ji looked over.

Mingyu: "You and Your Majesty (so affectionately)...don't have a dragon heir. For Your Majesty, it's a pity after all. Even I really hope that you will have a child."

Zhuo Ji looked forward, speechless for a long time.

Mingyu: "Not only me, but many people are looking forward to your majesty's birth to a dragon heir. I know you don't like a big belly, but bear with it."

Zhuo Ji said: "Brother Mingxi, I can't give birth."

Mingyu was shocked: "What happened to your body?"

Zhuo Ji shook his head: "It's not my body that can't give birth, it's me that can't give birth."

Mingyu frowned.

Zhuo Ji: "Danyang Palace is very good right now. If my child is a brother or a princess, it's fine. If it's a prince..."

Mingyu's heart skipped a beat.

Zhuo Ji smiled and said: "That's the last thing I want to see. Anyway, I have already agreed with Your Majesty. I will not have any children in this life. In the next life, I will give birth to ten or eight children to Your Majesty."

Mingyu wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

Zhuo Ji: "The children in the palace are cuter and smarter than the other, isn't it good? In the future, when they grow up, let them fly out one by one to see the world outside the palace Look at the sky outside the Mata country, how good it is. It is their luck and misfortune to be born in the royal family. I hope that in the future, these children in Danyang Palace can find the sky where each of them can travel broadly. It's not about fighting each other to the death. Brother Mingyu, isn't it good that we protect the future of these children together?"

Ming Xun stopped, and Zhuo Ji followed suit.

Mingyu tried hard to control the tears in his eyes, and whispered: "Shunxi...why do you always wrong yourself so much?"

Zhuo Ji shook his head: "I don't think this is a grievance. Brother Mingyu, I am not as selfless and great as you think, on the contrary, I am very selfish. In this life, I am a latecomer, so I am willing to share Your Majesty's love with my brothers and sisters." In the next life, I will not give up. I will monopolize Your Majesty, even Brother Mingxi, I will not give up His Majesty to you. In this life, I will be kind to my brothers and sisters. In the next life, my brothers and sisters will not I am ashamed to rob Your Majesty from me."

Mingyu hugged Zhuo Ji, tears rolling down his face: "In the next life, I will definitely not rob you of His Majesty. In the next life, whoever dares to rob you of His Majesty, I will fight back for you."

Zhuo Ji hugged Mingxi with a smile: "Thank you Brother Mingxi."

The two of them didn't go to Xiangfu Palace, nor did they mention any cake shop.After embracing in the afterglow of the setting sun, Mingyu parted from Zhuo Ji with tears in his eyes and a smile.Zhuo Ji watched Mingyu sit up on the shoulders and leave, with a smile on his face.

Xiaohui came over: "Master, what did you say to Ming Yu? You made me cry."

Zhuo Ji: "I thank Brother Mingxi for protecting me, Brother Mingxi is very touched."

Why do you want to hug each other when you are moved?Xiaohui swallowed the question.

Xiaohui didn't ask, but someone asked during dinner: "Why are you and Mingyu hugging each other so well?"

Zhuo Ji: "I told Brother Mingyu that I lost weight not because I was on my way, but because I always had nightmares in Guangnan, and His Majesty was not around. I couldn't sleep well, so I lost weight. Brother Mingxi loves me."

Emperor Yong'an snorted: "It seems that I don't care about you. He is impulsive whenever he encounters you. He dared to say that I deliberately tortured you, and dared to say that I let you out of the palace. If he was not sincerely doing it for you , How could I spare him lightly!"

Zhuo Ji: "But you can't deny, Your Majesty, the result of Brother Ming's actions is to make everyone believe that I am indeed sick, and no one will suspect that I am not in the palace. Your Majesty, you should be happy for me. You see, There are so many people around me who love and protect me. I used to be an only child and had no brothers or sisters. Now I live together and have them all.”

Zhang Xian, Feng Xi, Chang Jing and Xiaohui who were waiting on the sidelines automatically closed their ears, but they didn't hear anything!

Emperor Yong'an: "That's how much you treat them sincerely. Even if they are all brothers, it's not proper to hug them around in public."

Zhuo Ji took Emperor Yong'an's arm: "Well, what your majesty taught me is that I will only hug your majesty from now on."

Emperor Yong'an tried hard to control the corners of his mouth from rising.

After dinner, Emperor Yong'an took Zhuo Ji to take a bath in Yuqing Pool.The two had been lingering in Yuqing Pond for a long time, and they came out when it was too late.Beside Emperor Yong'an, Zhuo Ji slept well, and because of the exercise, he didn't remember whether he had a dream that night.Not long after Emperor Yong'an got up, Zhuo Ji also got up.He promised that Mrs. Huang would go there in the morning.

When Zhuo Ji arrived, it was no surprise that both Degui Xie and Xi Guifei were there.Just like Mingyu, Huang Guixie called Zhuo Jilai not to talk about the business, but to find an excuse to care about him.There was no one in the palace, so the noble lady directly said: "Hu Pengju and the others have been studying with you for three years, why do you still have to go to Guangnan yourself?"

Concubine Xi: "What kind of disease is this cangzhu?"

Zhuo Ji: "Actually, it's not a serious illness..." After he finished explaining, Huangguixie, Deguixie and Xiguifei were all speechless.

De Guixie: "You don't need to go anymore, do you?"

Zhuo Ji: "No need. I originally planned to come back after meeting with the Marquis of Chang'an. The epidemic is mainly in southern Guangdong, and there are not many cases in Guangnan. If Guangnan is under control, we in Mata will be fine."

"Buddha bless you." Concubine Xi clasped her hands together and bowed.

The three of them didn't ask too much about Zhuo Ji Nanyue and Guangnan's political affairs, they just chatted with him about his physical condition.While talking, the topic naturally came to Yelu Buyan.The imperial concubine said: "Your Majesty, Long Nu, also disgusted Yelu Buyan. By the way, please persuade Your Majesty."

Zhuo Ji: "I will persuade you. But Yelubuyan was bitten by a dog. After so many days, does she have any symptoms?"

Huang Guixie: "I haven't heard that she has a mad dog disease."

Zhuo Ji: "Maybe it's not infected."

Concubine Xi: "God is so blind! Stealing a dragon heir should be cut into pieces, and you dare to pour dirty water on you!"

Zhuo Ji didn't mind, it was strange for a princess of a foreign race to devote herself to the Mata country.He said: "Yelu Buyan had a miscarriage and was bitten by a dog. Brother Yao still sent someone to show her, whether it can be cured or it must be cured."

Huang Guixie disapproved: "She slanders and curses you like that, why do you care about her? You are just too kind."

Zhuo Ji: "It's just a princess who is about to perish, so there's no need to add insult to injury, right? That would make us narrow-minded."

The three of them groaned in their hearts.

Zhuo Ji said calmly: "Although the land of the Northern Man is barren, the underground is rich in minerals. Naturally, the more gold, silver, copper and iron, the better."

Huang Guixie smiled: "Yes, gold, silver, copper and iron, of course, the more the better."

Zhuo Ji: "The future business of the commercial bank will also develop in the mining industry. Your Majesty has started to attack Beiman, and the commercial bank must be ready. For the mining industry, His Majesty entrusts the commercial bank to do it, which is better than leaving it to others. "

Empress Dowager: "Okay!"

Not long after Zhuo Ji returned to Fengtian Hall from Huayang Palace, Huang Guixie sent an imperial doctor to the Third West Hospital to treat the weak Yelubuyan.For a while, many people were confused.Later, there was a rumor that it was a kind hearted person who persuaded the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, and the royal concubine sent the imperial doctor there.

Emperor Yong'an: "You just can't see women suffering."

Zhuo Ji appeased a certain jealous emperor: "I just want Princess Yelu to live to see the land of Beiman merged into Mata. How can I be so magnanimous, when others scold me like that, I still care about them. I'm not a saint." father."

Emperor Yong'an pinched Zhuo Ji's chin: "Is it really because of this? Isn't it because of Yelu Buyan's 'beauty'?"

Zhuo Ji was very helpless: "I don't want my butt to hurt anymore. Your Majesty, I did this for myself."

"How to say?"

"Yelu Buyan said that I caused her to have a miscarriage, but I was not in the palace, but most people in the palace didn't know it. Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Brother Yao and the others severely punished her, but in the eyes of others Come, maybe it’s just to cover up for me. Don’t be angry, Your Majesty, I’m just trying to guess the impact of this matter to the maximum.”

Emperor Yong'an suppressed his anger, and he couldn't tell Zhuo Ji that he instructed Zhang Xian to get rid of Yelu Buyan's child, and he would never even tell Zhuo Ji about it.

Zhuo Ji continued: "Your Majesty brought me from Xiangfu Palace to Fengtian Palace. People who originally doubted whether I was out of favor believed that I was indeed ill. Now that I am cured, let Huangguixie send me If someone treats Yelubuyan, then no one will believe that I got rid of Yelubuyan's child. As for where the dog came from and why it only bit her, others will guess whether she offended someone or not. If you don’t know it, you won’t think of me anyway.”

Emperor Yong'an silently protected Ai Shi, feeling a little guilty and guilty.But no matter what, he would not allow Yelu Buyan to give birth to his heir.

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty, I came from the end of the world. If others treat me well, I will treat others well. If others treat me maliciously, I will fight back mercilessly. I will let Yelu Buyan understand what is meant by Misfortune comes out of your mouth."

Emperor Yong'an: "I will let her see with her own eyes that the northern barbarians are destroyed in my hands."

Zhuo Ji nodded.He would not tell anyone that he did this only to eliminate some of the causes and effects that Emperor Yong'an "killed" his own child.After Zhuo Ji knew this, he guessed that it was Emperor Yong'an who ordered the removal of the child in Yelubuyan's stomach.Except for His Majesty, no one in the palace would do this, let alone dare to do so.

He will not say that Emperor Yong'an is too cruel, the only thing he has to do is to eliminate some causes and effects for Emperor Yong'an.Nothing should affect the agreement between him and Emperor Yong'an's next life.On the matter of "next life", Zhuo Ji also has a little superstition.
