Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 296 Do Three Things

Li Yu had trouble sleeping and eating, thinking about it in every possible way, and finally sent them to the Song Dynasty with heavy gifts and important tasks.Maitreya teaching Lou Yanming and Shangguan Bingyun are also aware of the situation, knowing that there is no way to do it, and they will not stop it.

To put it simply, Li Yu sent people to do three things. First, be soft, cut the title of the country, change the title of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the king of Jiangnan, and voluntarily become a vassal state in the true sense of the Song Dynasty.Second, gift giving and tribute.The third reason is to try to cut down the name of the country and become the righteousness of the Song Dynasty in exchange for the country, forcing the Song Dynasty to have no reason to send troops, and to sign an agreement that it will never send troops to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

In Li Yu's view, my country of Tang is a self-degraded state and has become a vassal state of Song.My Tang Kingdom has become a vassal state of your Song Kingdom, and I, the King of Jiangnan, has become a courtier of your Song Emperor. You, Zhao Kuangyin, are always embarrassed to send troops to attack me, a respectful and gentle courtier who has never opposed me, right?With wishful thinking, Li Yu planned carefully, prepared a large amount of property, and even selected a group of Jiangnan beauties, and sent his most trusted younger brother and minister.

Li Yu's younger brother, Li Congshan, is just a young man in his early twenties, a man of talent, elegant and generous.Xu Xuan, a well-known scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, is even more elegant in conversation, with first-class demeanor, and his speech is even more slick and impeccable.

Zhao Pu and a group of ministers picked up the Southern Tang Mission, talked and laughed happily, and entered the city hand in hand. They saw Kaifeng's wide streets, prosperous markets, grain boats and ants under the river, and no soldiers on the streets. meteorological.Li Congshan and Xu Xuan saw it in their eyes, and they couldn't help but secretly surprised at the rapid development of the Song Dynasty. Back then, the Southern Tang Dynasty had a territory of 35 states in its heyday, spanning Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Fujian, Jing, and Lake, with a population of 500 million and strong soldiers and horses. Fading down and growing up, it has declined so far that I can't help but secretly sigh.

Zhao Pu was careful all the way, chatting with Li Congshan all the time, not giving Xu Xuan a chance to talk to him, so as not to be caught by the hidden enemies in the court.

In this way, Zhao Pu took all the civil servants of Honglu Temple to send the Southern Tang mission to the Courtyard, and then hosted a simple banquet, and the matter was over.

However, what Zhao Pu never expected was that he went to the palace to report the situation to Zhao Kuangyin. As soon as he returned to his home, there was already a guest at home, and this guest was Nan Nan whom he least wanted to see at this time. Tang deputy envoy Xu Xuan.

Zhao Pu was furious immediately, and then he felt awe-inspiring, knowing that there was indeed something wrong with the servants in the mansion.The last time Zhao Kuangyin bumped into more than a dozen cans of melon seed gold in Wuyue Kingdom, he investigated afterwards, it seemed to be an accident and coincidence, but it was too coincidental to think about it carefully.Now that Xu Xuan came to the house and led him into the house without his permission, he finally began to suspect that there was someone from Zhao Guangyi in the mansion, and his status was definitely not low.

Zhao Pu was secretly determined to find out this person and put him to death.On the one hand, they sent someone to notify Honglu Temple, which was in charge of receiving the envoy, to ask them to send someone to invite the hot-handed Southern Tang deputy envoy away, in order to show their 'innocence' as much as possible.

Ye Chen spent the whole afternoon doing things, and finally finished dealing with the affairs of Huaxia Weifu.

The sky was getting dark and the city gate was about to close. Ye Chen couldn't hold back the thoughts of Han Ke'er, Yu Qingyan, Shui'er, Kou Zhun and the thought of going home anymore, so he went to his home in Kaifeng.

The weather in July, the autumn is not strong but the return is strong. Ye Chen rode his horse on the long street and ran away against the wind. He didn't know how long he ran, and finally entered the South City. There were sounds on the long street lined up.

It was night now, and the lanterns of the palaces of princes and ministers on the long street where the Ye Mansion was located had already been hung up. There were quite a few pairs of lanterns, but they were not very dazzling. The guards and guards all stood outside the door and looked forward to it. Inside the door, Han Ke'er didn't listen to anyone's dissuasion. She sat on a chair with her big belly and waited. Let the owner of Ye Mansion go back to the mansion.A year has passed, and the original little village girl has the demeanor of the mistress of the Ye Mansion. The Ye Mansion has no wife, and Yu Daoxiang has disappeared and never returned. Han Keer, the concubine, is the only mistress.As for Shui'er and Yu Qingyan, they have special identities, just like Ye Chen's relatives.

The news of Ye Chen's arrival in the outskirts of Beijing had already spread to the city. He thought he would arrive at noon, but Ye Chen went to the Huaxia Weifu Yamen to deal with official business, and forgot to notify the mansion. As a result, everyone waited hard here long time.

"Here we come." Shui'er had the best eyesight, and saw the horses galloping in the distance from a distance, with a shout, everyone rushed down the stone steps and divided into two teams.

Amidst the sound of the horse stepping on the road, Ye Chen galloped up to him, got off the horse, lightly kicked Ma Gangzi's ass which was going to be used as a stirrup, and scolded with a smile: "You bastard, don't learn from those people in the house!" style."

"Welcome Lord Hou back to the mansion." The two rows of servants knelt down and shouted in unison.

Ye Chen smiled and asked everyone to get up without saying anything.Then he went up the stone steps in two steps, took the hot towel handed over by Yu Ye and wiped his face indiscriminately, then took the warm tea soup and rinsed his mouth, knowing that this was a necessary procedure.There is nothing to pay attention to, just returning to the front of the mansion, looking at the servants, guards, and maids who saw him showing genuine joy, Ye Chen was really in a good mood.

Seeing Han Keer inside the door, Ye Chen stepped forward quickly, and was about to say something, but saw a graceful figure floating over like a ghost, Ye Chen couldn't help being shocked, but then he smelled something familiar. Surprised, he smiled wryly and said: "Shui'er, you girl, your body skills have reached such a level, how did you practice it?"

Shui'er restrained her figure beside Ye Chen, pulled Ye Chen's arm, stuck out her tongue cutely, did not answer Ye Chen's words, but said in a low voice: "Brother Ye! Don't talk about this, hurry up and find ghosts with me!" The doctor will detoxify you."

At this time, Yu Qingyan came out from nowhere, and first murmured something in the ear of Han Keer, who was looking at Ye Chen with a gentle face, and then said: "Master Hou! Master is waiting there, or first?" Let's talk about what's in your body."

While talking, without waiting for Ye Chen and Han Ke'er to say a word, they stepped forward and Shui'er pulled Ye Chen towards the 'Half-Dead Labyrinth'.

When she was in Bazhou, Yu Qingyan already knew that the foreign object in Chen Jingyuan's body had penetrated into Ye Chen's body.She didn't diagnose anything wrong at the time.But I've always been worried about it.

She was afraid that Han Ke'er would be too worried when she found out, so she just told Shui'er about it.

Shui'er and she waited for Ye Chen for a long time today, and when they saw him, they immediately dragged him to see the ghost doctor.

Although the ghost doctor lived in Ye Mansion for more than half a year, even though he lived in a simple way, even after the completion of the 'half-dead maze', he almost never went out of the maze. He always studied medicine and poison in his small courtyard, and also taught Yu Qingyan. Medical skills forced Yu Qingyan to practice martial arts.

Yu Qingyan learns everything very quickly, and is often able to infer other things from one instance. She is extremely filial to him, and treats him like a real grandfather. The ghost doctor has a comfortable life, a rare experience of family happiness, and some thoughts that she still had have gradually faded away. up.

Of course, the skinny, ghost-like and frightening countenance has become much more rounded now, even a little fatter.The coldness in the eyes has also faded a lot. Although he still looks indifferent to people other than Yu Qingyan, his expression is more calm and indifferent.

However, the ghost doctor has changed so much in the past six months. Apart from Yu Qingyan, it is also because Ye Chen has thought about it and thought of some methods. Specifically, it is related to the medical skills that Ye Chen discussed with him at the beginning. .

To be precise, it was Ye Chen who gave the ghost doctor a detailed introduction to the medical methods of Western medicine in later generations using the familiarity with the human body to treat diseases through surgery.From then on, the ghost doctor became obsessed with dissecting corpses, especially human corpses, when he was not studying poisons. Blocks and medicines preserved the body well.He even asked the Fuzhong guards to buy a lot of small animals and conduct some live surgery experiments.

Ye Chen heard from Yu Qingyan in Bazhou a few days ago that one of the guards suddenly had a stomachache, and Yu Qingyan's current medical skills, which are comparable to those of a national player, could not be cured. The ghost doctor finally remembered what Ye Chen had said about appendicitis , Remembering that Ye Chen said that he wanted to remove the infected and festering appendix, he boldly operated on the guard's appendix, and finally succeeded.

After Ye Chen heard it, he was deeply moved by this, and he admired the ghost doctor's talent in medicine.

In addition, what delighted Ye Chen the most was that the ghost doctor actually concocted a medicine that could anesthetize the body in a short time after taking it.And this kind of medicine is the most indispensable thing for surgery.

After listening to Ye Chen's description, the ghost doctor saw Ye Chen take down the little black gourd from his waist, and with a strange cry, he stood up from the special reclining chair Yu Qingyan made for him, and grabbed the little black gourd from his waist. Ye Chen snatched the black gourd from his waist, and began to study it over and over again.His face was full of disbelief and neurotic ecstasy.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen was overjoyed, thinking that the ghost doctor is really well-informed, and he really knows the black gourd.

Ye Chen, Yu Qingyan, and Shui'er didn't bother the ghost doctor either, but just quietly waited for the ghost doctor to regain his composure.

After an unknown amount of time, the ghost doctor let out a long sigh, and his expression gradually returned to calm.

"I didn't expect this thing to exist in the world. I always thought it was just a legend." The ghost doctor said faintly.

Ye Chen finally couldn't help asking: "Senior, what exactly is this thing? What's the relationship with the bloody foreign body in this junior's body?"

The ghost doctor said: "The strange art of the southern border, Gu insect art, I think you have all heard of it!"

The three of them nodded thoughtfully at the same time.

The ghost doctor continued inexplicably: "The black bugs in this black gourd are one of the most special Gu bugs among thousands of types of Gu bugs, called the Black Soldier Ant Gu, and the foreign matter that penetrates your body It should be the king of the legendary Gu worms - the Black Blood Gu Mother. According to the legend, the Black Blood Gu Mother can control all the Gu insects in the world, and holding the Black Blood Gu Mother can control all human beings or animal."
