A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 799 I support you

The morning light breaks.

There are still a few stars left in the light blue sky,

The earth is hazy, as if covered with a layer of gauze.

The Crown Prince got up early to boil the medicine. Although there was no shortage of people in the palace who could do this, Cheng Qian still had to do it himself. He boiled the medicine for the first time, filtered out the liquid, added water, and boiled it for the second time.

The second batch of medicine is also boiled, mixed with the first medicine, and then divided into two parts.

One was put away for the afternoon, the other was put in a medicine bowl, and Cheng Qian took the cup and sent it to his mother.

Next to him, Wu Huaiyu also made several nutritious breakfasts himself, which he also packed into food boxes.

He met Cheng Qian's eyes and nodded.

The two of them went together.

The Li Zheng Hall is the larger palace in the harem. It has a main hall, side halls, side halls, courtyards, verandas, etc. Of course, there is also a small kitchen where the queen can cook a small stove.

The prince had already moved into the Tai Chi Palace to serve his illness, but even though he had not been crowned, he was still old, so the emperor arranged for him to live in the Wude Hall to the east adjacent to the Li Zheng Hall. There was only the Daji Hall in the middle, so it was convenient to travel.

And Wu Huaiyu was also left in the palace last night, while he stayed under the door and reflected on himself. The gate is located together with the Hongwen Museum and the History Museum, just to the south of Lishengjeon and Mudeokjeon. After passing through Qianhuamun and Lishengmun, you can reach Lishengjeon.

He is still the prime minister now and has his own office in the Zhengshitang, where he is on duty at night.

The main reason was that the emperor was worried about the queen's condition and kept him here for fear of something unexpected happening late at night.

The palace door was locked at night, but could not be opened. Even if there were urgent military and state matters, they would be communicated through the small window on the palace door. If something happened, it would be too late to summon Wu Huaiyu from outside the palace.

Fortunately, the medicine prescribed by Wu Huaiyu and the medicine he prepared himself were quite effective. In fact, the most effective thing was the family banquet. The emperor, the prince, and the king of Wei had a meal with the queen, which made the queen feel much better. , the condition gradually eased.

However, just in case, he still needs to be temporarily on duty in the palace for the past few days to do some introspection.

When the queen's body gets better, the emperor will take the queen to Jiucheng Palace in Qizhou, west of Beijing, for summer vacation and recuperation. It is more suitable for the queen than Taiji Palace.

Cheng Qian got up very early, went to the door to look for Huai Yu, and then took him to the kitchen of Lizheng Hall, where they made breakfast while the other decocted medicine.

There were eunuchs, palace servants, and female officials on the night shift in the Li Zheng Palace who stayed up all night. At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the palace servants and eunuchs on the day shift had already gotten up.

The queen is kind and allows many old palace residents to leave the palace every year. However, it is the queen's palace after all, so there are still a lot of people here.

When the two came to the bedroom, a female official had already gone to report it.

Without waiting much, the female officer took them inside.

The queen looks pretty good,

The face is a little pale, but the lipstick is painted on the mouth, which is darker red and not so bright.

Cheng Qian held the medicine to say hello, and Huai Yu also held the breakfast box to say hello.

"Should I take medicine first or breakfast first?" the queen asked with a smile.

"This medicine can be taken after meals, which can reduce the irritation and damage to the gastrointestinal tract and make it less uncomfortable,"

"Then let's have breakfast first. I suddenly feel a good appetite today and I'm a little hungry."

Huaiyu opened the food box.

Millet porridge, salted flower rolls, boiled eggs, boiled sweet potatoes,

The nutritional combination is quite simple, but Wu Huaiyu makes it with great care.

"It looks good." The queen praised. She was six years older than Wu Huaiyu, which is equivalent to holding two gold bricks. "I thought it was sesame pancakes and ancient buildings. I didn't care about these."

"The queen should try to eat a lighter diet now, and eat less big fish and meat for the time being, especially some hairy things."

Millet porridge seems simple, but it actually requires a lot of knowledge to cook it well. Wu Huaiyu's porridge is cooked in a clay pot, and some yellow rock sugar is added to it. It is very thick when cooked, and a layer of rice oil condenses on it. The queen really has a good appetite.

A boiled egg, a boiled purple sweet potato, a salted flower roll, and a bowl of millet porridge were all finished, and I even felt a little unsatisfied.

"I remember that Wu Xiang was very good at barbecue and stir-fry. Unexpectedly, he was also good at making these breakfasts."

Huaiyu didn't tell the queen about these things. In fact, they were all confinement breakfast breakfasts he had made for his wives and concubines at home. He had made them many times and he had become proficient in them.

After breakfast, the queen was not in a hurry to drink medicine. Instead, she asked Cheng Qian and Huaiyu to accompany him for a walk in the corridor outside the palace. The queen was in a good mood.

While walking and chatting, they asked Cheng Qian whether he was still used to living in Wude Hall, what books he had read recently, and also asked about Huai Yu's situation in Lingnan.

About half an hour later, the queen returned to the palace. The medicine was warming up. The queen drank the medicine.

She is not afraid of hardship, drinking medicine is like drinking sugar water,

Cheng Qian helped the queen mix the honey water. After the queen finished drinking the medicine, he offered the honey water with both hands. The queen took it and drank it. Cheng Qian went to take the bowl again.

The queen looked at her son who was busy with work, her eyes were full of relief, and even her eyes were wet.

Wu Huaiyu brought the medicine box and performed a routine examination on the queen, taking her pulse and listening to the sound of her tongue...

"The queen's condition is improving. Try to keep her mood happy and relaxed, which will help her condition improve."

Li Shimin also came to the Li Zheng Palace to see the queen after the morning court.

Seeing that the queen looked good, he was relieved. The queen smiled and told him that she had a good appetite in the morning and ate a lot. Huaiyu also said that he had seen the queen and her condition had improved greatly.

Li Shimin was very happy, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and you must not have eaten either, let's go together."

There are still a few breakfasts cooked by Huaiyu.

So I had someone bring it to me, and I ate it at the Queen’s side.

The emperor, the prince, Wu Huaiyu, the monarch and his ministers also ate the same as the queen just now, but the portions were larger and milk tea was added.

The queen sat next to her with a smile,

The morning sun shines over, very warm.

The three of them had breakfast, chatted with the queen for a while, and then left.

Went to Liangyimen next door,

There are two rows of houses in front of the square outside Liangyimen, with corridors.

The three monarchs and ministers came over, asked the servants to lay out mats and futons, and sat down directly on the porch.

Li Shimin was a little distracted as he sat there, but Huaiyu and Chengqian didn't bother him.

Just sat there quietly for a long time,

"Are you really planning to stay in Lingnan?"

"Well, things must have a beginning and an end, and I also hope to take this opportunity to put things in place in one step. First, completely pacify the left and right Xixi barbarians, kill and replace the Jisi governors who rebelled before, and by the way, bring down the rebellion in several states. Changed the land and returned to the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.

Then push further west, send troops to conquer the Lunzi tribes in the blank area between the Lingnan, Qianzhong, and Nanzhong roads, establish Jisizhou County, let them submit to the Tang Dynasty, and then open up the passage from Jiaozhou to Yizhou , connecting Jiannan, Qianzhong, Nanzhong, Annan and Lingnan,

Restore the Tea-Horse Silk Road in the Southwest and prosper the Maritime Silk Road in the Southeast,"

Li Shimin is very supportive of this strategic plan. He also believes that Wu Huaiyu has this ability and is extremely suitable for this position.

"Since you have made up your mind, I support you to go ahead and do it."

The emperor accepted Wu Huaiyu's resignation as Tongzhongshu's Pingzhangshi minister, and he still served as Lingnan's observant and deposed envoy and economic envoy.

Jin Kaifu Yitong three divisions, plus the crown prince and Taibao.

Changsun Wuji added the crown prince and tutor, Qin Qiong added the prince and tutor,

The emperor seemed to hesitate for a while.

"Warrior Xun, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, participated in political affairs and was promoted to the Political Hall as the Prime Minister."

"On behalf of my fourth uncle, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Zhou Guogong is also the founding father of the country, and he is also very experienced in distributing wealth in civil affairs. Dai Zhou died of illness suddenly, and you have to stay in Lingnan. The court is in great need of capable ministers like Zhou Guogong."

When the dust settled, Wu Huaiyu got the result he wanted and was very satisfied.
