Tang's dining table

Chapter 505 Serving the People

As an official of the Tang Dynasty, he devoted his whole life to the Tang Dynasty and died. It is appropriate to dedicate his life to it.

However, when you find that the Tang Dynasty does not need you to devote all your energy and dedicate yourself to death, you will be very sad.

Come to think of it, not long after his wife gave birth to a child, he took his soldiers and horses to fight for the Tang Dynasty, risking his life and death for the Tang Dynasty. What on earth was he planning?

Now, the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty are all hunching their necks like quails and looking at the boss Li Zhi. It is obviously inappropriate for the generals and ministers of the Tang Dynasty to be brave and diligent as if they had been given chicken blood. .

Yunchu thought - the era of dawdling has arrived.

The sudden death of Mrs. Han was a great mourning for the Duke of Zhou.

Poor Helan Minzhi has not yet finished the mourning of his grandmother and has to mourn for his mother again. It can be said that he is very, very pitiful.

It is said that Helan Minzhi, who was guarding the tomb of his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Rongguo, in Hongdu, Xianyang, couldn't breathe after hearing the news of his mother's sudden death. He almost left with his mother. He only came back to life after being treated by a servant. , and then drove back to Duke Zhou's Mansion to preside over his mother's funeral.

Helan Minzhi's legs have mostly healed, but he still has a slight limp when walking. He is frighteningly thin, and his eyes are sunken deeply into their sockets. They are so red that they look more like will-o'-the-wisps.

Wu Shun, the Korean lady, died suddenly at the age of thirty-five. Li Zhi ordered the Korean lady to enter Zheng Guo's wife, gave her a pair of wing screens, encouraged a team, and allowed her to be buried with the ceremony of a national lady.

In order to satisfy Yu Xiurong's strong desire to watch the excitement, the Yun family sent a condolence team represented by Mrs. Hou Yu Xiurong to express condolences at the Duke Zhou's mansion.

Naha also wanted to go to the fun, but Yun Chu held her firmly and refused to allow her to go. If she doesn't have a face as fickle as Yu Xiurong and Cui, she shouldn't go to the fun, in case she can't help it. It would be bad to laugh out loud during condolences.

So, who killed the Korean lady?

This incident quickly occupied the top ten rumors in Chang'an!

Wise men in restaurants and teahouses gave many different explanations. Among them, the leading explanation was that Wu Shunzhi's death was related to the jealous empress of the Tang Dynasty.

His Majesty the Emperor likes sisters to take advantage of each other. This is no longer news in Chang'an. Coupled with the death of the little Wei lady before, this has raised the curiosity of Chang'an people to an unprecedented height.

A Korean lady is worthless, and even a boring person like Yu Xiurong can make up a bizarre cause of death. Then, restaurants, teahouses, and wise men in the market can give answers that make people nod their heads one after another.

Just when everyone thought that Zhou Guogong was crazy, this Zhou Guogong, who was as thin as a bolt of lightning, kowtowed to the angel and thanked the envoy sent by his second aunt politely and thoughtfully, and told the envoy that he hoped that his second aunt would not let his mother go I felt sad because of his death, and I had to take care of myself... Finally, he said that the population of the Wu clan was declining, and he hoped that the second aunt could pardon the exiled Wu clan members.

The people who went to the Duke Zhou's Mansion to express their condolences were actually there to watch the excitement. When everyone left the Duke Zhou's Mansion, the skinny He Lanmin was sitting alone on the threshold of the gate of the Duke Zhou's Mansion, dressed in filial piety, with his head lowered. Look at the busy ants at your feet.

This kind of Zhou Guogong is really not interesting to watch. Even if his mother is unruly and flirts with the emperor, the young man Helan Minzhi is a good person.

It is truly commendable to be born into such a chaotic family and still be able to repent.

"The Tibetan girl who helped Duke Zhou pay condolences to his family was really good. She was different from what her husband said. She was a good and polite woman. She dared to pay tribute to the Korean lady even before she was engaged. She was really enviable. .”

Yu Xiurong didn't see the excitement, but He Lan Minzhi and Dunzhu stuffed their mouths with dog food.

Yun Chu looked back at Naha who looked horrified, touched the child's head and said, "You must learn more in the future."

Naha nodded and said, "Well, I will never hit anyone with a stick again."

Yu Xiurong said to Yun Chu again: "It's pitiful, my husband didn't see the pitiful look of Zhou Guogong sitting alone on the threshold watching the ants move.

You are obviously from a wealthy family, so why do you live worse than the poor people in Wannian County? "

When Yun Chu saw Yu Xiurong's eyes were crooked, he quickly said, "That's because there is no such headwife as Madam in Duke Zhou's house."

Yu Xiurong nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's true. If that Korean lady is someone who knows her integrity, Duke Zhou's mansion should also be prosperous."

Naha clumsily approached Yu Xiurong, caressed her sister-in-law's belly and said, "There must be another little nephew here."

Yu Xiurong nodded with satisfaction, called Aunt Cui, and was helped to the bedroom by Aunt Cui. She stayed in Zhou Guogong's mansion for a long time today and was already a little sleepy.

Naha jumped up to Yun Chu and said, "How did I perform?"

Yun Chu raised his thumb wordlessly.

"I think Mrs. Korea should have died at the hands of He Lanmin." When they arrived at the secret room, Yun Chu's small stove had not been lit yet, and Wen Wen, who came in a hurry, expressed his judgment first.

Di Renjie, who had just thrown the riding whip on the table, shook his head and said: "As far as I know, He Lan Minzhi has indeed never left Hongduyuan in Xianyang."

Wen Wen laughed and said: "I am very sure that He Lan Minzhi killed his mother, and also wanted to use her mother's death to further force the queen to agree to his marriage to the Tibetan woman, and also wanted to use her mother's death to ask the queen Asking for more supplies that can be used to cause trouble in Tubo."

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "I don't believe that a person would kill his own mother in order to achieve such a goal."

Yun Chu sat the water on the stove and said softly: "It is indeed He Lanmin's hand, but he did not do it himself. It was the hand of the Tibetan woman Dunzhu, who used saffron water soaked in cinnabar and burned with fire."

Di Renjie frowned and said, "Cinnabar is not poisonous! And drinking cinnabar water has the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying, calming the mind and calming the mind."

Yun Chu had known that Di Renjie would ask this question, so he took out a bead made of cinnabar and placed it on the flame coming from the stove exhaust vent to calcine. After burning for a while, he put the cinnabar into the water and pushed it to Di Renjie. : "Drink it if you have the guts."

Di Renjie casually pushed the cinnabar water soaked in Yun Chu to Wen Wen and said, "I heard that you have been suffering from sores on your mouth and tongue recently. This product is just the right remedy."

Wen Wen looked at the glass of bright red cinnabar water and said, "I drank a bowl of the cinnabar water brought by my wife this morning. Let's forget about the cinnabar water prepared by Yun Chu. He said it was poisonous, so it must be poisonous."

Yun Chu poured out the cinnabar water in the tea bowl and smashed the tea bowl together, and then said to Di Renjie: "Cinnabar is forged in fire and becomes arsenic. Even if it is not arsenic, the cinnabar water soaked in boiling water will It also has the effect of killing people. When the Korean lady died, the roots of her nails were purple, and there were also bruises under her eyes, which in itself is a sign of arsenic poisoning."

"After Mrs. Korea became ill, which imperial doctor went to diagnose and treat her?"

"Old He, it was he who discovered that Mrs. Korea was poisoned."

"Why didn't he say it?"

"Lao He said that he was called to get treatment, but after he went there, everyone died, so there was no treatment for the disease.

Besides, the Imperial Medical Office of the Tang Dynasty is still debating whether cinnabar is poisonous. Some ill-tempered doctors even mixed some cinnabar water with cold water and drank it on the spot, but they did not die.

At this time, let's say that the Korean lady died of drinking cinnabar water, poisoning, and died in Qujiang Palace. How many lives do you think Mr. He had, dare to lie out that the Korean lady died of poisoning? "

Di Renjie once again picked up a piece of cinnabar, put it on the fire to calcine for a while, then put it into boiling water. Watching the cinnabar melt, he went out with a bowl of bright red cinnabar water.

Wen Wen ate a bean and said to Yun Chu: "My ancestor told me when he left that he could neglect his duties for a few years."

Yun Chu said: "I prepared the corpse to be placed on it."

Wen Wen laughed and said: "The boat is sailing far away, the wind is blowing and the clothes are blowing. I asked Mr. Zheng about the way forward, and I hated the faint dawn."

Yunchu took a sip of strong tea and then said: "The clouds come out of Xiu without intention, and the birds know when they are tired of flying. The scenery is about to enter, caressing the lonely pine and hovering."

Wen Wenwen continued: "The trees are happy and prosperous, and the springs are trickling and beginning to flow. When I get all the good things, I feel that my life is over."

Yun Chu said resolutely: "Climb to Donggao to soothe the whistle, and compose poems near the clear stream. Let's talk about the multiplication and return to the end, and the fate of the music will return to ridicule!"

Di Renjie, who had just entered the door, heard what the two said and opened his mouth and said: "I insulted Mr. Wu Liu and elevated two sinister people.

The idyllic land you yearn for will only breed conspiracy, and the quiet life you yearn for will only give birth to death. "

Wen Wen wiped her mouth and said, "Did you pour the cinnabar water to the dog outside the door?"

Di Renjie sighed and said, "No need for a dog. I dipped a branch in cinnabar water and fed it to a chicken. In a moment, the chicken was dead."

He licked his lips gently and said to Yun Chu: "Is there any other prescription for treating sores on the mouth and tongue? It seems that the prescription Zhuo Jing asked me for is not appropriate."

Di Renjie said viciously: "Wu Dalang, Pan Jinlian is here, but I don't know who Ximen Qing is?"

Wen Wen shook her head and said: "There is no Ximen Qing. If there is, it must be me. Zhuo Jing is just ignorant, not vicious, although her beauty is far better than the Pan Jinlian mentioned by Yun Chu."

Di Renjie looked at Yunchu and Wenwen and said, "Do you really want to hang out for a few years?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Since I came to Datang, I have never really had a day of leisure. Since no one needs me to continue working, I might as well take the opportunity to rest and rest. I am dedicated to Chang'an City, but I haven't had a good look at it yet. This is Chang'an City.

I didn’t go to Pingkangfang to listen to music, watch the singing and dancing, I didn’t get drunk and fool around with Orchid in the Western Market, I didn’t ride a horse through Xiliu Camp and be wild, I didn’t compete with the libertines of Chang’an for the first part of the class. head.

It's really a big loss. If this continues, this official job will be in vain. "

Di Renjie looked at the somewhat broken Yun Chu and said, "You used to be busy all day long, why don't you feel that you are at a disadvantage?"

Yun Chu put away the smile on his face, patted his chest and said, "I used to think that what I was doing was serving the people."

Chapter 2, see you tomorrow. These days, I am working hard with cupping, massage, and moxibustion, and typing with one hand is really slow.
