Chapter 1609 His Majesty Li Er’s Warning
Changsun Wu died with his eyes closed.
But no matter how angry he is, he still knows that in the Changsun family, Changsun Wuji's words are golden rules, and he is hard-hearted. Anyone who harms the interests of the family will be given up without hesitation, let alone the spies who are now implicated by Changsun Wu. This case has already affected the life and death of the family...
However, at this moment, Changsun Wuji no longer cared about whether Changsun Wu died in peace. He wished he could cut Changsun Wu into pieces!
How could someone get caught doing something like this?
You still want to plead for your parents and family members, but do you know that the entire family is in danger due to you?
Even if I kill you ten thousand times, I still won’t understand the hatred in my heart!
*****
Qiu family.
Qiu Shenji's funeral has not yet been completed, but the number of guests is gradually decreasing. Except for the relatives of the Qiu family, the house is already deserted.
Both the Qiu family and the Wei family are outsiders. The Wei family's ancestral home is Julu, Hebei, and the Qiu family's ancestral home is Luoyang. Neither of them are members of the Guanzhong family. However, Luoyang is much closer to Chang'an. In the past few days, many relatives and old friends came from Luoyang to express their condolences, but in the past few days, most of them left with excuses.
There is no other reason, just because Qiu Xinggong lost power in the court...
Luoyang was far away from the political center of the Tang Dynasty, so it was inevitable that he did not have a thorough understanding of the political situation. He thought that Qiu Xinggong was still favored by the emperor, so his connections were not diminished. However, after arriving in Chang'an, I found out that His Majesty had already been suspicious of Qiu Xinggong, and that Qiu Xinggong and Gao Shilian had turned against each other. His former supporter now wanted to knock him into the dust. Who would support Qiu Xinggong's bad feet?
In addition, Wei Zheng happened to pass away at this time, and all the officials in the court came to express their condolences, so the Qiu Mansion naturally became more and more deserted.
In terms of seniority and status, how can Qiu Xinggong compare with Wei Zheng?
Not to mention that Wei Zheng's son Wei Shuyu has already been granted a marriage. As soon as the filial piety period is over, he will marry Princess Hengshan and become a relative of the emperor...
With incense and candles lingering in the mourning hall, Qiu Xinggong stared blankly at his son's memorial tablet and coffin, feeling lost.
Once upon a time, he dreamed that he could be crowned a duke based on his military exploits and be as high as a prince;
Once upon a time, he longed for his son to be outstanding, inherit the Qiu family business, and honor the ancestors...
But now, everything is like a dream bubble, once it bursts.
His son was brutally killed and he had no heirs; he betrayed all his relatives and was jealous of His Majesty...
He hates it so much!
Why? !
He was severely injured and fought in a bloody battle. How could he still not gain trust? Isn't it worse than an arbitrary stick?
Trial by the three agencies?
Haha, it’s just a joke...
What seems to be the highest judicial institution in the Tang Dynasty, but what has it actually done?
After a simple inquiry like a courtroom drama, they were shelved and ignored on the grounds of "insufficient evidence". No one asked another question. His son was lying here, but there were not even a few people who came to express condolences... …
Qiu Xinggong only felt a fire burning in his heart, burning everything inside him and burning him with hatred!
Suddenly, a burst of messy footsteps came from outside the mourning hall.
"Commander, it's not good... something bad happened..."
"Presumptuous!"
Qiu Xinggong suddenly shouted loudly, turning his head and glaring at the panicked subordinates who came in a hurry: "The mourning hall is quiet, shouting like this, if you disturb my son, I will behead you and bury you with him!"
"Poof!"
The subordinate was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he knelt down at the door of the mourning hall. He said with trembling fear: "It will be a capital crime... it will be a capital crime... but... but..."
Qiu Xinggong took a deep breath and asked, "What happened?"
The subordinate swallowed his saliva and said: "Commander, Baiqisi sent many corpses and placed them at the gate. Many neighbors came and went to watch the fun. Hundreds of people have gathered... and... and... In the end, we will see that these people are all former colleagues..."
boom!
As if a sledgehammer hit his heart hard, Qiu Xinggong's eyes blurred, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
The anger I had just been filled with was completely released in an instant, and only boundless fear arose...
Arriving at the main entrance with staggering steps, Qiu Xinggong saw dozens of corpses neatly lined up on the street in front of the door. Some had multiple wounds on their bodies and some had only a wound on their necks.
A captain of Baiqisi stood up straight. When he saw Qiu Xinggong coming out, he stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists, saying: "These people have been lurking on the slope ten miles south of the city for many days, intending to murder the imperial officials. They were all killed last night. I will give you orders from your majesty." I ordered the corpses of the murderers to be delivered here, and asked General Qiu to bury them because they were all soldiers of Marquis Youwu in the past. "
Qiu Xinggong's face was pale, his burly and majestic body swayed slightly, and he said in a solemn voice: "Old minister...obey the order..."
The captain had no expression on his face, glanced at Qiu Xinggong lightly, and said, "In this case, I will retire."
He rode away with a group of hundreds of horses.
Qiu Xinggong stared blankly at the corpses on the ground, feeling chilled to the bone.
He knew that this was because the emperor was remembering his past achievements and giving him dignity.
But from then on, Qiu Xinggong had been completely abandoned in the emperor's heart...
But he couldn't understand that this was a plan he had planned. Even his closest confidants didn't know the details. He originally planned to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Fang Jun and then fly away, but why was his whereabouts detected before he took action? And wipe them all out?
Who discovered it?
*****
At the same time, dozens of fast horses galloped out of Chang'an and headed to various parts of the world with news that would excite the world.
In the third year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the establishment of medical doctors in various states to train medical students, referred to as "doctors". This is the origin of the word "doctor"...
The fast horses sent from Beijing galloped along the post road, carrying the formula of treating malaria with artemisia annua and delivering it to medical clinics in various states around the world. Doctors from each state then announced it to the world.
The world is shocked!
What is malaria?
That is synonymous with death. Once infected, few survive. Since ancient times, it has been known as a disease that changes the appearance of people in the world along with smallpox! Once such an epidemic breaks out, it will wreak havoc all over the place in a short period of time. There is no cure, no one can cure it, and no one can stop it!
There is no other way but to seal off the infected areas and let the people there fend for themselves...
But now, this stubbornness that has been wreaking havoc on impermanence for thousands of years has actually passed away?
Looking at the notices posted beside the city gate and at the gate of the government office, the people all over the world just knew that this was the medicine developed by the miracle doctor Sun Simiao, who had been working without sleep for many days, in conjunction with many imperial doctors!
For a time, the name of the "miracle doctor" resounded throughout the country, and thousands of households built shrines for him and offered longevity tablets to him!
This is simply like robbing people under the hands of the Lord of Hell, and they will surely descend from the stars!
Inside the palace.
His Majesty Li Er's face was full of spring breeze, and he bowed to Sun Simiao in front of him: "The merits of the Taoist Master are truly inspiring to the sun and the moon, and are unparalleled in ancient and modern times! On behalf of the people of the world, I would like to thank the Taoist Master!"
After saying this, he bowed deeply.
Sun Simiao was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help His Majesty Li Er up, saying: "How can Your Majesty do it? You are the Lord of the world, with the body of a real dragon. I am just a country man. I never dare to accept this from Your Majesty." Waiting for the big gift!”
However, His Majesty Li Er's bow was obviously sincere. He exerted enough strength to bend down and pause for a moment. Then he stood up and laughed loudly: "What the Taoist said is ridiculous. After a thousand years, the world may have forgotten the world." Even with an emperor like me, no one can forget Taoist Master’s merits in curing malaria!”
Sun Simiao helplessly said: "Why should your Majesty be so modest? Since the beginning of the Zhenguan period, all industries in the world have prospered, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the people's livelihood is prosperous, and the country is peaceful and peaceful. Your Majesty's civil and military achievements are rare in the world. They are no more than the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty. The glory of one emperor has shone on the people throughout the ages, and the old ways are insignificant. How dare you compare your name to His Majesty?”
Fang Jun's face twitched when he heard these words. He originally thought that this person was the immortal Xian Yun Yehe, but unexpectedly he was also a master of flattery. Looking at His Majesty Li Er's proud look, his lips almost reached the base of his ears. ……
"Wow, hahaha, the Taoist priest's words make me ashamed and speechless, haha!"
His Majesty Li Er, with a happy look on his face and a great heart, took his seat with Sun Simiao arm in arm.
He is a rare sage monarch, how could he not know how much flattery there is in Sun Simiao's words?
But precisely because of this, I became even more happy! Who is Sun Simiao? I have long looked down upon all the fame and wealth in the world, and have already understood all the blessings and misfortunes of life and death. Compared with them, those so-called monks have no idea how far behind they are! How can such a person not be happy if he is willing to praise himself?
Only if you really convince the other person, can he be willing to say such flattering words. Not only should you not be ashamed, but you will be honored!
