Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

Chapter 115

Hearing that after the Zhuohua Banquet was held in the palace, one of the concubines suddenly contracted the epidemic, and the palace was horrified. His Majesty immediately ordered the Imperial Hospital to make a diagnosis. Fortunately, all other palaces were fine, and the emperor himself was in good health. It was a false alarm. field.

But the epidemic is a disease that can be contagious if you don't notice it for a while.For the sake of prudence, it is better to suspend the court for the time being, and return to the right track after the concubine recovers; during this period, all the memorials will be delivered to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after being organized by Lord Lin, they will be sent to Tianhong Hall for His Majesty's personal review.

There is no objection to this imperial decree - after all, everyone cherishes their lives very much, and no one wants to contract the disease for no reason - therefore, not only the well-informed ministers and families, but even the people in the capital have gradually reduced their going out The number of times, stay at home in a proper manner.

According to the news from the palace, the epidemic is not serious, and the situation of the concubine has been well controlled by the imperial hospital, and the imperial army is there to appease the people, so it will not make the whole capital uneasy.

At the same time, in Prince Yu's mansion.

"...the people in Baicao Valley have superb medical skills and have the ability to live and die. Although they have weird temperaments, they have a high reputation among the people. In the past, they even dared not to buy orders from their father."

Ming Tan sat in the guest seat, looked at the dignified King Yu, shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, I don't want to leave the palace at this time...but if the third brother is allowed to go alone, I am worried that he will not follow his temperament. I'm afraid I won't be able to get a prescription for detoxification..."

Although he is the son of Zhonggong, Ming Jing has a dignified body and is quite familiar with Baicao Valley, but after all his personality is relatively soft, and he probably can't restrain those moody and high-spirited genius doctors.

What's more, the father is in a critical situation now, and there is not much time for them to be soft and tough—so, just in case, Mingtan is going to bring hundreds of soldiers and horses this time, and let them stand by in Qingzhou first, as a trump card.

If Baicao Valley insists on fighting in front of her...

Then don't blame Ming Tan for using iron and blood to kill the door and force their whole family to submit!

"This time, the group of Baicao Valley will be accompanied by me, Miss Lin and third brother. And while we are leaving the palace, please ask the emperor to keep this matter under wraps with Mr. Lin, so as not to let the emperor become unconscious The news leaked."

Ming Tan took a deep breath, stood up, and sincerely bowed deeply to King Yu, "I know you have a deep brotherhood with your father, and you can't be more sincere to the court—so," she paused , said in a steady voice, "Ming Tan implores the emperor uncle to come forward to temporarily supervise the country and act as an agent of political affairs, so as to stabilize the ruling and opposition parties!"

"...You are very courageous."

After hearing the words, King Yu raised his eyes and looked at the girl with a firm expression not far away. His movements froze for a while, and then he said lightly: "Could it be that this king is not afraid of malicious intentions, and imitated that dry Wang Minghui, taking advantage of the coma of the emperor's brother?" Do you want to usurp power and seize the throne?"

"No, you certainly won't."

Even though he heard King Yu utter such rebellious words with his own ears, Ming Tan still shook his head calmly and said calmly: "Father Emperor once told me that you have a lifelong friendship with him. Heavy Jiang Gong, how could he commit treason just because of a mere throne?"

"Oh?" After hearing her say the words "mere throne", King Yu raised his eyebrows, stared at Ming Tan for a while, and his pretended cold expression eased again, "Unexpectedly, the emperor Brother actually told you this old thing?"

Ming Tan nodded calmly.

King Yu pondered for a long time, squinted his eyes, and scrutinized Mingtan's expression carefully. After a while, he also stood up, clasped his sleeves, bowed to the ground, and bowed deeply to the latter——

"Your Majesty Mingshuo, you must obey the orders of Her Royal Highness Princess Zhen Guo!"

King Yu's words were sonorous and powerful, and his attitude was very serious, which finally relieved Ming Tan's high-suspended heart. A slight smile appeared on his tense face, and he said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Huang!"

"This is the duty of a minister, and the princess does not need to thank you." King Yu shook his head and exhorted, "However, you must remember that you must hurry back after the matter is completed. After all, using the epidemic as an excuse is just an excuse. A short-term strategy cannot last for a long time..."

"Yes, Mingtan understands."

Ming Tan lowered his eyes, clenched his fists secretly, and promised slowly but firmly: "I will definitely get the antidote as soon as possible, and return to the palace to treat the poison for my father!"

Baicao Valley is located in Qingzhou, more than ten days away from the capital.Even though Ming Tan and the others were already fast enough, they still walked for a full eight days before they arrived outside Qingzhou city.

Perhaps because of the reputation of Baicao Valley, Qingzhou City is considered prosperous among the northern states, and the medicinal material sales industry is the most prosperous. Medical shops and medicine shops can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and there are many small stalls. There are common herbs such as angelica, bupleurum, and loquat that have been dried.After the group arrived at the place, Ming Tan ordered Lin Xun to lead [-] elite soldiers to settle in the city, but the three of them were not idle. After a brief discussion, they prepared to go straight to Baicao Valley.

After all, if they waited a second longer outside, the situation in Beijing and China would be even more critical.

Although it is true that Baicao Valley is a medical family, in order to seek purity, it did not live in the city of Qingzhou. Instead, it set up a house with a considerable area in Linshan on the outskirts of the city.The layout and facilities in it are all built according to the rules of the ancestors. There are courtyards for the clansmen to live in, and there are also buildings for practicing medicine, such as pharmacies, sick workshops, and medicine nurseries. Generally speaking, it has its own set of rules and confidence in the world of hanging pots.

Such financial and material resources are enough to see that Baicao Valley is famous all over the world.

Ming Jing had healed his leg ailments here for many years, and of course he was familiar with the location of Baicao Valley. He led Rong Tan and the two of them directly through the city, until the people around him gradually thinned out and the road under their feet became overgrown with weeds. Finally, I saw the shadow of a mansion in the distance.

"Good fellow," Ming Tan cast his eyes twice, and couldn't help saying, "This is even bigger than the Imperial Garden!"

They were on a relatively high terrain at this time, and they could see the Baicao Valley at a glance. Of course, they could vaguely see that this house occupied a very large area, almost larger than several villages living in groups not far away, and the contrast was sharp. No wonder Ming Tan couldn't help but marvel.

"Baicao Valley has been passed down for a hundred years, and it is very rich. Even the few acres of land at the foot of the mountain belong to them," Ming Jing said, "Moreover, there are more than a dozen medicinal storage cellars built underground, which are specially used to store medicinal materials that are protected from light. Far wider than we can see now..."

After listening to his brief introduction, even Lin Shurong showed a look of surprise, "This Baicao Valley...is truly unfathomable."

"Hmph. It doesn't matter whether it's a century-old family or it's unfathomable. Anyway, I have to go and experience it."

Ming Tan's eyes darkened slightly, he tightened the reins in his hand, turned his head and said, "Third brother, continue to lead the way."

"Okay." Ming Jing nodded in agreement, and took the lead to ride his horse towards the foot of the mountain.

……

After about a stick of incense, the three of them came outside the house, still Ming Jing took a step forward, raised his hand, and knocked heavily on the gate of Baicao Valley.

"Bang, bang, bang."

There were several muffled knocks from the vermilion lacquered gate, and there seemed to be a faint sound of footsteps coming from far and near inside.After a while, the door slowly opened a small crack, and a young boy poked his head out, without even lifting his eyelids, he yawned lazily and said, "Baicao Valley is busy with things these days, and I don't care about people." , No medicine, no outpatient visits, and just invite a few of you to go back wherever you came from."

As if he had gone through a routine procedure, he was about to close the door after he finished speaking, but Ming Jing stretched out his hand and grabbed the knocking ring, and asked with a smile, "Tongmai, it's only been a few years, and you don't even know me?" Don't you recognize it?"

"...?"

Hearing this, the boy calling Tongmai was obviously stunned. When he looked closely, his expression changed from impatience to surprise, and he smiled and said, "Ah! Your Highness Mingjing! You're back?!"

"Well, I'm here to stay for a few days," Ming Jing seemed to be very familiar with him, and explained gently, "I need to trouble you to take two more steps to pass on a message to the Patriarch..."

After discovering that the person who came was Ming Jing, Tongmai's attitude could be called a 180-degree turn, his little face was flushed, and before the other party finished speaking, he rushed to talk: "Don't worry, I'll go right away, Your Highness Mingjing Just wait!"

——However, as soon as the words fell, he retracted his head and closed the door again with a "snap", leaving the three of them outside alone.

Ming Jing: "..."

Ming Tan and Lin Shurong: "..."

Ming Tan faintly heard the howl of "His Royal Highness Ming Jing is back" coming from the door, blinked, and slowly turned his gaze to her third brother, lazily sighing: "This Baicao Valley's way of hospitality is really, um , quite strange."

"...Maybe it's because I haven't received many foreigners before." Ming Jing couldn't help but show some embarrassment when he heard his sister's eccentric words. Don't be in a hurry."

Left and right have already reached the door, Ming Tan is not in a hurry, he just thinks that the people in Baicao Valley are quite interesting, and they seem to have a good relationship with the third brother, which immediately relieves most of her heart that has been hanging.

Even though their temperament is a little weird, but with the face of the third brother, presumably the Baicao Valley will not embarrass them too much.

So, the three of them waited patiently outside for a long time, until Ming Tan almost fell asleep leaning on Lin Shurong's shoulder, the vermilion lacquered door was opened again, and a middle-aged man with a majestic face came out from it. A smile appeared on his face immediately, "Your Highness, Third Prince, long time no see!"

Seeing this person, Ming Jing also showed his face, bent over and saluted him, "Patriarch Lou, long time no see."

After a short salute and a few words of greetings, Patriarch Lou naturally cast his eyes on Ming Tan and Lin Shurong, "I don't know if these two are—"

Ming Jing had no intention of hiding anything, and directly introduced to Patriarch Lou: "This is Lin Shurong, the eldest lady of the Lin family in the capital; Ming Tan, Princess Yonghui of Zhenguo."

As soon as the name was announced, Patriarch Lou was stunned for a moment, a little surprised: "It turned out that Her Royal Highness Princess Yonghui came here in person, and Baicao Valley really missed it!"

Although Baicao Valley has an arrogant temperament, it is not enough to ignore the most basic respect, let alone facing the nine princesses who are now famous all over the world, the kind words that should be given must be thoughtful. .

"Patriarch Lou, you're being polite." Ming Tan and Lin Shurong blessed their bodies, and returned their salutes, which was enough for the other party, "This time, the princess came to Qingzhou in person, one is to escort the third brother to continue to heal the leg disease, and the other is Do you want to stay in the valley for a while, so that you can check his recovery at any time, you see...?"

The poison of "tooth shaking" involves the secrets of Baicao Valley, which can be regarded as a family scandal, so of course Mingtan will not directly put forward his real purpose, but detoured a bit, using excuses, and wait until he meets the owner of the building alone. test.

However, even hearing her request for an escort, which was so common, Lou Patriarch still frowned subconsciously, as if he didn't welcome outsiders to disturb the cleanliness of the clan.

But after a while, his eyes glanced over Ming Jing, and then settled on Ming Tan's smiling face, and finally twitched the corners of his mouth, his tone obviously not as enthusiastic as before, nodding his head in agreement: "Princess Yonghui is willing to come here. Xiaozhu, then I, Baicao Valley, will be sweeping the couch to welcome you... Well, you don't want to stand here and blow the mountain breeze, please come in with me."

Unexpectedly, it was so easy to get Patriarch's approval without even using the pre-prepared remarks, Ming Tan couldn't help being surprised in his heart, but he remained calm on the face, he only met Lin Shurong's eyes, and then Nodding his head, he said, "Thank you, Patriarch Lou."

However, just as they were about to enter the door, suddenly a little girl with bright eyes and good looks rushed over from a distance. When she saw them, her eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed towards them like a small cannonball, and she ran straight into the Ming Dynasty. King's arms!

"Brother Jing! You are finally willing to come back!"

——Jing, Brother Jing? !

Ming Tan's steps on the threshold froze, his eyes widened, his eyes staring like copper bells and his ears erect like antennas, looking at this strange little girl who flung herself into her third brother's arms with great horror.

ah?What is this doing?Do you want to shoot Legend of the Condor Heroes?
