Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

There are various fruits and snacks placed on the table, as well as the delicious food like a gluttonous feast, which makes people want to eat.

During the banquet, officials from Shu, civil servants and generals who had followed Liu Bei for a long time toasted each other, exchanged glasses, chatted and laughed.

Because Liu Bei married Wu Yi's sister, this was already considered a big event in Shu...

Not only at this banquet, the entire atmosphere in Bashu became warm and unrestrained.

On the other hand, Fazheng seemed to be happy for his good friend at this time. Facing the warm wine, Fazheng drank three bottles in a row.

He seemed to be more than satisfied with himself, shouting repeatedly, "Come again, come again!"

At this time, Fazheng's servants quickly reminded Fazheng, "The prefect should not drink alcohol anymore. My lord and Zhuge Military Advisor have repeatedly issued orders to the prefect to drink less... He said it was because of the disease..."

The servant called Fa Zheng the prefect because after Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, he appointed Fa Zheng as the prefect of Shu County and General Yangwu.

It's just that the governor of Shu County and General Yangwu are in high spirits now. How can he say that he won't drink if he doesn't want to?
  He waved his long sleeves and said, "I am happy today. I will drink less tomorrow. Please step aside..."

While talking, Fazheng continued to toast and drink without restraint.

The servant looked worried, but did not dare to persuade him.

"A filial piety and a good drinker..." Mi Zhu didn't know about Fa Zheng's illness. He praised him and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Sun is gone and the country of Soochow is about to fall. My lord no longer has to worry about the so-called Sun-Liu alliance. Wu My wife has the appearance of a great noble, and she is also an important minister of Yizhou... Such a match made in heaven, before... We have repeatedly urged the lord to marry, but the lord has postponed it again and again. You have to be filial and upright. Others can't persuade the lord, but With your advice, this happy event will happen!"

Following Mi Zhu's words, Sun Qian and Jian Yong looked at each other. They naturally knew... How important is this marriage to the stability of the rear and the upcoming trip north to Hanzhong?

Jian Yong smiled and said: "Yes, I have been following my lord since Zhuojun, but I still don't know my lord as well as Xiaozhi. My lord is hesitant about marrying his wife because he and Liu Mao are of the same clan. , but Xiaozhi said, 'In terms of distance and distance, how can this relationship be as close as Jin Wen Gong and Ziyu (yu)?' Then the Lord no longer hesitated and agreed to the marriage!"

This is the art of language…

This is also why Fazheng is so liked by Liu Bei and considers him a gay friend.

You must know that Ziyu was the nephew of Duke Wen of Jin, but Duke Wen of Jin married Ziyu's wife, that is, he married his niece-in-law.

Compared with Duke Wen of Jin, Liu Bei just married the wife of his deceased brother of the same clan, nothing special, nothing special!

Of course, one more thing must be said here.

In the Han Dynasty, marrying a widow was a common thing and there was no objection.

First, some widows have children, and the success rate of rebirth will increase. This is very important in ancient times when the fertility rate was low and "there are three types of unfilial piety, and having no heirs is the worst".

The two, throughout the ages...the essence of marriage...is actually a transaction. The widow's family needs to hug another mountain, and the mountain also needs to unite with local dignitaries to stabilize the situation...back and forth...such a woman has married several people...to conclude a marriage. This practice is common among wealthy families.

It’s really not the so-called “Wei Wu legacy”…

This is the trend in this era.

For example... Zhao Fan, the governor of Guiyang, wanted to marry his sister-in-law to Zhao Yun.

Liu Bei married Wu Yi's sister.

Cai Wenji married three people, the second of whom was King Zuoxian of the Southern Huns, and had two sons. Later, she had a son with Dong Si.

Not to mention, the famous wife harvester-Cao Mengde!

Perhaps different from our inherent ideas, in this era...there are no three obediences and four virtues. The status of women is actually extremely high!

On the contrary, Fazheng was drinking and laughing along with Jian Yong, Sun Qian and Mi Zhu's words.

"It's a small thing, it's a small thing..."

It seemed that Fazheng was a little too happy.

In fact, he is not happy because of this marriage, he is sincerely happy for the current situation of his good gay friend.

First, Jingzhou won successive battles, moved northward against the Wei Dynasty, and the Eastern Wu Dynasty fell;
  Between them, the situation in central Shu is stable. Now because of his marriage to Wu Yi, a leader of the Dongzhou faction, the status of his good friend Liu Bei is as stable as Mount Tai and as solid as a rock...

So next... heading north to Hanzhong, all worries and hidden dangers have been resolved in advance.

Perhaps, as the rumors say, Bashu will have an emperor——

"Hahaha...hahaha..." Fazheng was in a good mood, and the more he drank, the happier he became.

But suddenly, after drinking hot wine... his heart seemed to suddenly feel a sharp pain...

But Fazheng didn't take it seriously...they were still talking and laughing.

Here, at the banquet in General Zuo's Mansion, Fazheng gradually became drunk, his words became more dense, and his heart became aching...

Over there, the Wu family's mansion...

Wu Yi and Li Yan were walking by the pond together. They also drank some wine. His sister's remarriage and the Wu family's capture of Liu Bei's big tree made him happy, but Li Yan whispered to him during the banquet. His words made Wu Yi... couldn't help but feel worried.

This has nothing to do with the marriage "button" and the internal unity of Yizhou, but a more sensitive one:
  --inherit!
  In other words, he is the candidate for the crown prince!
  "Step, step..."

Wu Yi and Li Yan's footsteps sounded particularly crisp by the pond on this special night. Gradually, Wu Yi's footsteps became heavier.

Li Yan said, "No matter what, I should congratulate General Wu..."

Wu Yi paused and said in a deep voice: "Originally, while we were drinking and drinking, I felt that my Wu family should be congratulated and congratulated, but Li Shangshu... listening to your words is worth ten years of reading... if it weren't for yours... After all, I, Wu Yi, am still living in a dream!"

It was obvious that Wu Yi was a little frustrated in his words.

This was completely different from his mood during the day... His face was as dark as paper, as if... it was destined that the Wu family was not overjoyed, but expected to suffer such a disaster.

"Alas..." Wu Yi sighed, and said bitterly: "If I had known, after my sister married Uncle Liu, the Wu family would be involved in the fight for the right to inherit the rightful son... and even become the target of public criticism in the future, I... I... alas... alas …”

As if with great regret...Wu Yi kept sighing.

Li Yan slowly opened his mouth, as if to give further guidance: "In the past, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty left an edict to his most trusted eunuch, Jian Shuo, who was also the leader of the eight commanders of Xiyuan... intending to appoint his second son Liu Xie as his successor. However, things failed and Queen He and Shi Changshi jointly destroyed the edict and executed Jian Shuo..."

"Although the second prince, who is now the emperor, escaped death, neither Jian Shuo nor the Empress Dowager Dong who was behind the emperor could escape death... I always wonder if the edict left by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was passed down. If the throne is given to the second son Liu Xie, will Jian Shuo and Empress Dowager Dong suffer such a disaster? Will there be subsequent fights between eunuchs and relatives? Will the national thief Dong Zhuo enter the capital? Will the Han Dynasty fall apart? "

This…

Every sentence Li Yan mentioned was Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and the battle for the right to inherit the throne, but every sentence also reflected the marriage between Liu Bei and Wu Yi's sister.

Under his reminder, Wu Yi couldn't help but think too much.

First, Liu Bei is not young anymore!
  Secondly, if my sister is pregnant with Liu Bei's heir, and Liu Bei's eldest son Adou is incompetent, the Wu family will definitely fight for the position of the heir apparent.

But fight and fight, really fight to the end... Their Dongzhou faction, and Liu Bei's veteran faction... one of them will be defeated miserably!
  It's not that Wu Yi doesn't dare...but that he can't afford it.

You know, if there is a disastrous defeat, the Wu family may disappear completely in the land of Bashu just like the Empress Dowager Dong disappeared in Luoyang.

The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy, this has been the case since ancient times——

"Zhengfang...save me..." Wu Yi suddenly turned around, and he bowed his hands to Li Yan respectfully, his tone extremely urgent, "Zhengfang, you and I both lived here in Yizhou from other regions, and we have worked hard all these years... This is where we have a lintel. Since you proposed this, you must have a way to break the situation... For the sake of our friendship, you have to point me to a clear path!"

"This..." Li Yan pretended to hesitate...

"Zhengfang..." Wu Yi's tone became more urgent, and his eyes towards Li Yan became more and more penetrating.

"Sigh..." Li Yan deliberately waved his hands in desperation, "You and I have been colleagues for many years, how can I ignore death? What's more... if Mrs. Wu has a son, he must be young. Even if Liu Chan is incompetent, but The elders under my lord will not give up... So, in my opinion, you need a helping hand... If you can get good help, you can suppress those elders hard, and then... who will dare to touch the Wu family? "

This…

Wu Yi only understood half of Li Yan's words, still less than half, "Where should I go to find help? Zhengfang... don't be so secretive! If you have anything to say, just say it..."

"Ziyuan (Wu Yi's word), don't forget..." Li Yan reminded: "In addition to our Dongzhou faction and the lord's elder faction... there is another faction in Yizhou, and the energy of this faction cannot be underestimated. …”

Well…

Wu Yi was startled by Li Yan's words, and he quickly asked: "Is it the Jingzhou faction? But... this is not right. The first priority of the Jingzhou faction is Zhuge Kongming. How can he help me with his public heart? How can he suppress those elders?" "

"Wrong!" Li Yan reminded, "Kong Ming is the person that the lord trusts the most. The lord can entrust the entire Bashu to him. He has already transcended these factions..."

"Then..." Wu Yi then thought about it. In addition to the "Cai" and "Kui" clans of Jingzhou, it was the turn of the four major clans of "Pang, Ma, Xiang, and Xi"...

and many more…

Wu Yi suddenly thought of a person, and he blurted out: "Is it Liu Feng? Is it the Lord's adopted son Liu Feng?"

After mentioning this name, Wu Yi trembled violently, as if he suddenly woke up. He said in shock, "Zhengfang, what you mean is...is..."

Different from Wu Yi's urgent tone, Li Yan seemed very calm. He slowly raised his hand and looked at the bright moonlight, "It's the same sentence... My lord is not young anymore, it is Mrs. Wu. It has not been determined whether it is a boy or a girl. Even if it is a boy, how long will he be able to grow when he succeeds to the throne? Rather than betting on such an unknown... it is better to support the lord's adopted son Liu Feng, the Dongzhou faction With the Jingzhou faction working together, how can the Wu family be embarrassed when Mr. Liu Feng succeeds to the throne in the future? Not only will he not be embarrassed, he will also be entrusted with important responsibilities..."

This…

Undoubtedly, Wu Yi was tempted by Li Yan's conclusive words!
  He couldn't help but muttered in his heart:

——"That makes sense!" 』

But suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, yes... it was Fa Zheng!

"Zhengfang..." Wu Yi raised his eyes in confusion, "Don't forget, our Dongzhou faction...it's not you or me who has the final say! There is also Fazheng, and Meng Da...one of them has been favored by the lord, They are regarded as close friends and confidants, and one is holding a heavy army...if they don't..."

Don't wait for Wu Yi to finish speaking.

"Haha..." Li Yan laughed, stroking his beard while laughing: "As far as I know, Meng Da and Liu Feng have become brothers of the opposite sex... As for Fazheng... haha... he is sick! "

Speaking of Fa Zheng...

Li Yan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and in his eyes... a hint of sharpness appeared in the awl, and this sharp eyes became more and more intense.

...

Just when Li Yan and Wu Yi were having a chat.

At the banquet in General Zuo's Mansion...

More and more officials toasted to Fazheng, most of whom were officials from the Dongzhou faction: "Your lord has entered the bridal chamber. Tonight, I am afraid that we will no longer be able to respect your lord and congratulate him!"

I don’t know whether it was because he was drunk or because his best friend was getting married. Fa Zheng was so happy that he forgot himself. He was so happy that he was numbed by alcohol and lost his mind...

He picked up the jug and said, "My lord has ordered me to accompany you all. Tonight, I will overstep the law once. My lord goes to the bridal chamber, and I will accompany you to drink to your heart's content..." A group of Dongzhou officials hurriedly stepped forward, "Xiao Zhi" He is the person whom the lord trusts the most. Xiaozhi is also very happy for the lord’s wedding. Come on... I can’t respect the lord today, so I will congratulate the lord together with Xiaozhi. Let’s get drunk and then we’ll rest!”

"Yeah yeah…"

Everyone was cheering...

Fazheng's servants had been squeezed out, but Yang Yi suddenly thought of something, and quickly moved to Fazheng's side, blocking everyone's drinks: "Xiaozhi has drunk a lot today, so how about it... I will take over from Xiaozhi and... Have fun, everyone...have fun..."

This is out of the way...

Everyone's faces turned around, "Are we of low status? Can't we get into Mr. Xiaonao's eyes?"

Fazheng didn't want to lose his interest on this happy day, so he said: "I can drink, I can still drink... Come, everyone, please invite me!"

While talking, Fazheng drank a glass of wine with great effort...

see this scene...

Among the officials in front of him, Lieutenant Gou An, and Li Yan's son Li Shu from Shangshufu Xicaobu... all showed sly smiles and drank down the wine in the bottle.

Some officials were yelling: "What's the point of using a wine bottle for such a happy event? Mr. Xiaozhi? How about we change it to a big bowl? Come on, bring a big bowl, serve the wine, and use a big vat to warm the wine!"

All of a sudden, all the wine bottles at the banquet were removed and replaced with large urns.

Gou An pestered Fazheng and held up a jar of wine to greet him. Fazheng drank it awkwardly... Seeing that the atmosphere was thick, it seemed that he was quite satisfied with the atmosphere of the wedding of his good gay friends.

Three more bowls of wine were served...

Fazheng picked up a bowl and was about to drink when he suddenly felt his pupils shrink, his heart tightened suddenly, and he fell to the ground.

"Xiao Nao..." With Yang Yi's exclamation, all the drinking and joy came to an abrupt end.

Fazheng has fallen to the ground!
  The crowd rushed forward, noisily surrounding the fainted Fazheng, and Yang Yi shouted, "Doctor, please tell the doctor... quickly report to the lord, report to Military Advisor Zhuge."

Suddenly, the original wedding banquet was in chaos!
  In the crowd, Gou An and Li Shu looked at each other with smiles.

It's just that...their laughter was soon covered up by the increasingly messy footsteps of the "tap tap tap", and the bursts of rapid wind... blowing!

At this time...

No one would notice that the originally beaming lanterns suddenly went out.

No one would even notice that the sky above General Zuo's Mansion was already covered with a thick layer of haze!

...

...

The first official medical office in Jiangdong was officially established on this day.

indeed…

As Sun Quan was imprisoned by Guan Lin, as the city of Kuaiji surrendered, as the civil and military forces of Soochow surrendered, those cities that were still waiting and watching...the six counties and seventy-two counties all removed the banners with the word "Sun"... Change to the banner with the word "Guan"!

The flags rustled in the breeze of the river...

After Guan Lin handed over the truth about the deaths of "Zhou Yu", "Sun Ce", "Tai Shi Ci" and "Huang Gai" to that group of people, the next big thing he did was to establish the first Jiangdong Official Medical Office.

Of course, this is just a show.

In Guan Lin's plan, more than forty official medical offices will be gradually built in six and seventy-two counties in Jiangdong, and the number of official medical offices built in Jingzhou and Bashu will far exceed forty...

As for the purpose of doing this, Guan Lin has already begun to prepare in advance...to deal with...the "plague" next year!

Next year...that is, the [-]nd year of Jian'an. This year in history is the year when "the god of death comes to collect people." This year...a mighty plague swept through the entire thirteen states of Han Dynasty.

If according to historical records...

This year, five of the seven sons of Jian'an died!
  For example, Cao Cao’s secretary “Wang Can” died of the plague;
  For example...Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's close friend Ying Jun died of the plague;

For example, Xu Qian, who joined the army of Cao Wei, died of the plague;
  Another example is that Cao Pi’s confidant Liu Zhen died of the plague;

And Chen Lin, Cao Cao’s penman...

In addition to them, Sima Yi's eldest brother Sima Lang also died in this year, and Lu Su, the governor of Soochow, also died quickly due to the plague... his condition worsened in this year.

In this year, Cao Zhi left a famous article "On the Epidemic Gas", which said - "In the [-]nd year of Jian'an, the plague was prevalent. Every family suffered from the pain of zombies, and every room was filled with wailing sorrow."

There are dead people in every house, and every household is crying.

Some people "died with the door closed" and the whole family died;

Some of them were "overthrown and mourned", leaving no one left in the clan.

Cao Pi also mentioned the epidemic in "Books with Wu Zhi", "In the past years, there was an epidemic, and many relatives and friends were separated from each other. Xu, Chen, and Liu all passed away in an instant!"

It is no exaggeration to say that the number of people who died in the entire thirteen states this year was several times or even dozens of times more than those who died in the war in the past five years!
  certainly…

Faced with such a huge plague, Guan Lin also thought about trying to protect himself... For example, if the source of the plague could be determined, it was in the north!
  Then just isolate the north from the south... This way, we can ensure that the south is safe.

But this idea... was quickly rejected by Guan Lin. As a man in two lives... he has experienced more terrifying events than this plague. Facts have proved that... this thing... such a large-scale epidemic... it is impossible to completely isolate it. Arrived.

The only way is to cure it!

It’s the match of medical level!
  So... in the few months before next summer, Guan Lin didn't want to expand his territory. All his thoughts were focused on three things, and that was - the Official Medical Office, the Official Medical Office, or the Official Medical Office!

Specifically, one is the number of official medical offices!
  The second is the method of curing the plague, which spread earlier in the south.

To this...

Guan Lin understands that when too many people suffer from the plague and the medical level of the official medical office cannot keep up, a whole new series of problems will arise, causing riots throughout the place.

What a painful realization this is!
  "call…"

After letting out a long sigh, the official medical office welcomed a large wave of patients on the first day it opened... Guan Lin was very tired even though he was helping among them.

Even at ten o'clock in the night shift, Zhang Zhongjing's disciples Wang Shuhe, Wei Xun, Du Du... Diao Chan and Da Qiao were still busy in the medical office.

Guan Lin specifically sought out Zhang Zhongjing and asked him if the Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases compiled by him could be published in a simple version, and then... the whole south... could be popularized among the people!
  I took Guan Lin for granted.

Zhang Zhongjing’s answer is:
  --cannot!
  It’s still a commonplace question. Chinese medicine pays attention to dialectics. There are many kinds of plagues, with different symptoms, different physical conditions, and different reactions. The treatment methods are all different.

This is why Zhang Zhongjing started compiling "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" eleven years ago, and the previous editions have been published, but he still failed to prevent the sharp population decline in the [-]nd year of Jian'an.

"Ugh…"

Guan Lin sighed helplessly, this method didn't work, so he had to think of other methods.

Just as he lowered his head and closed his eyes to meditate.

Zhang Zhongjing's next words made him raise his head suddenly, and his eyes flashed with a brilliant light...

"Although "Treatise on Injury and Miscellaneous Diseases" cannot be popularized,... Master Yunqi asked me to try the method of treating the so-called 'cardiac arrest' because he wanted to rescue the Fazheng military advisor in Sichuan. There has been a breakthrough..."

uh... this...

Following Zhang Zhongjing's words, Guan Lin flexed his fingers, wondering how long it would be before Fa Zheng's death in history?
  Of course, this calculation is not accurate!

Because of the butterfly effect generated by Guan Lin's existence, it will affect and change history to a certain extent.

Therefore…

Could it be that Fazheng was ill because he, Guan Lin, destroyed Soochow... Fazheng suddenly got excited and died without even taking a breath?
  If calculated this way, Guan Lin felt that... Zhang Zhongjing's breakthrough regarding "cardiac arrest" at this time... came at just the right time!
  ...

...

It is rare for Liu Bei to get married today in Shu, and it is also rare for Zhuge Liang not to be busy with official duties until late at night.

After congratulating Liu Bei, he did not stay to attend the banquet. He only drank a little wine and returned to his mansion immediately.

Sudden early return...

Huang Yueying was a little surprised, but also made her put down her hands. It came from Jingzhou...the latest manufacturing map!
  Speaking of which, Guan Lin asked Zhao Yun to send this map to Huang Yueying. It is a tool to deal with "hot air balloons"...

In fact, at Mianshui Villa, Guan Lin had already let Huang Chengyan and Liu Ye try the map in advance, but the final result was too complicated... After a month of trying, there was no progress.

It was precisely because of this that Guan Lin asked Zhao Yun to send this map to Huang Yueying.

If there is still one person in this world... who can create this map, it would be Huang Yueying.

Of course...tonight...none of that matters.

Zhuge Liang's early return made Huang Yueying feel like a girl, and once again ignited in her... the thing she was looking forward to!
  Huang Yueying has always wanted to give birth to a child for her husband Zhuge Liang——

It’s just... these years...

"Madam..." Zhuge Liang's words brought Huang Yueying's thoughts back, as if Zhuge Liang was being driven by alcohol, and as if he had already seen through the lady's thoughts from her crystal eyes.

Zhuge Liang said lightly: "Tonight the flowers are full and the moon is full. The lady under the moon reminds me of the poem in "Ode to the Goddess" - 'How beautiful the goddess is, with the ornaments of yin and yang. She is so beautiful covered with flowers and algae, if The flying wings of emerald. Its image is unparalleled and its beauty is boundless.'"

Well…

When Zhuge Liang said this, why didn't Huang Yueying understand what her husband meant?

"Ode to the Goddess" is about King Xiang of Chu who met the Wushan Goddess in his dream and fell in love with her because of his admiration for her beauty. However, the Goddess kept herself to herself with etiquette. In the end, the love failed and she left with regret.

Tonight... Huang Yueying will never let her husband be like King Huai of Chu... meeting the goddess of Wushan, but in the end she will feel regretful and resentful.

"Kong Ming, I don't like the Wushan goddess in "Ode to the Goddess". Compared to that...I prefer the scene in "Gaotang Fu" when the King of Chu and the Wushan goddess met in a dream...that person was flamboyant and did not receive any etiquette and ethics. Wushan Yunyu under restraint..."
