Chapter 846: Monarch, Minister and Envoy
Something big has happened in Fireworks Alley.
"Bastard! Why don't you tell the truth?" Gou'er took out a whip and whipped the hung pickpocket viciously, just like Gousheng had beaten him back then.
The child on the ground looked only seven or eight years old, but he was actually about twelve or thirteen. He was dressed neatly, and no one could tell that he was a pickpocket.
His clothes were torn into strips, revealing the flesh on his back.
In fact, there is not much meat, just skin and bones.
He knew that he was in big trouble this time, because not only Su Jinyiwei, but also Poison Lady and Yu Lang came together.
"I didn't take it. The things were taken away by a man named Ye."
Gou'er kicked him, almost knocking him out of his wits: "What's the surname Ye? This is a matter of life and death, why don't you hurry up?"
"Yesterday, two men came to me and asked us to steal things from outsiders. If we succeeded, they would give me one or two taels of silver. It was not a difficult task. When those outsiders saw delicious food, they could not walk. I stole the food while they were eating."
The dog asked, "Where did the two men go?"
"I don't know. I just heard the old one calling the young one Ye Lang. I don't know anything else."
Gou'er whipped him again and said, "You bastard, you dare to take any job. Don't you think that one tael of silver is enough to buy your life?"
After scolding, the dog bent his waist and smiled at Su Xuanming ingratiatingly: "Master Su, what do you think?"
Su Xuanming and Yulang looked at each other. This was not a simple theft.
"Find an artist and have him draw the portraits of those two people. Then search the whole city for them!"
Su Xuanming said angrily.
This is the first happy event since A Niang occupied Kyoto.
The person behind the scenes wants to stop this, isn't that just a slap in the face of A Niang?
…
Only a few high-ranking officials knew that the imperial letter had been stolen.
Yulang randomly found a crime and started arresting the thief named Ye.
Gu Nanxi was naturally angry, but there was no point in being angry. She handed the matter over to the Jinyiwei and completely gave up her power.
Lu Mei brought over the prepared Yang-boosting and five-drinking soup, which was just the right temperature: "Master, it's time."
The external injuries from the beating I received a while ago have healed, but the internal injuries still need to be healed.
After consulting with five or six doctors, they all believed that Duke Yun's Yang Qi was damaged and needed to be replenished, so they prescribed a Buyang Huanwu Decoction.
The prescription makes heavy use of Astragalus, which is sweet and warm, and can greatly replenish vital energy, strengthen qi to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis and unclog the meridians, making it the main medicine.
Angelica root can invigorate blood circulation and dredge collaterals without damaging blood, and is a ministerial drug.
Red peony root, chuanxiong, peach kernel, safflower, and angelica root help promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and serve as adjuvant drugs.
Earthworms can dredge the meridians and activate the collaterals, and are good at moving. They can also lead the power of other medicines directly to the collaterals, thus serving as an adjuvant drug.
If used together, the Qi will be strong, blood stasis will be eliminated, the meridians will be unblocked, and all symptoms can be cured.
Gu Nanxi drank it sip by sip, but her mind was on the three children.
Governing a country is like prescribing medicine, with the main medicine being the main ingredient to nourish life, the auxiliary medicine being the main ingredient to nourish the nature, and the auxiliary medicine being the main ingredient to cure diseases.
The main herb can play the desired purpose of the overall prescription and is the most important raw material. It is generally highly effective and has a large dosage.
This is just like the ruler of a country. If you want to be a wise ruler, you must have strong internal motivation and control over the court.
The king controls the direction and tone of a dynasty.
For example, in the Qing Dynasty, successive Qing emperors were more concerned with defending internal affairs than external defenses, which led to the later policy of closing the country to the outside world, and eventually the result was that those who fell behind would be beaten.
"Oh." Gu Nanxi put down the bowl and closed his eyes.
Now, Yunzhou has enough assistants, which is enough for the moment. When the seedlings cultivated by Baichuan Academy grow up, there will be no shortage of assistants in the next twenty or thirty years.
This is one of the precious treasures that Gu Nanxi left for his successor.
As for the ministers, there are only a few who meet Gu Nanxi's needs and have the same goals and ideals.
His adoptive father was old, and Wang Bushi was almost thirty years old. Wang Anshi was young, but because of his youth, his understanding of certain things was not mature enough and he needed more training.
"Why hasn't Wang Buxi gotten married yet? Hurry up and write a letter to urge him to get married as soon as possible and have a child as soon as possible, no matter whether it's a boy or a girl, and raise the child well."
Green plum...
It was not enough for Lord Wang to sell himself to his master, but he also sold his descendants as well?
Gu Nanxi refused to accept.
She, a book-traveling person, has sold herself to this great cause. Why can't Wang Buxi, a local, sell herself as well?
After thinking about the ministers, the question came to the emperor.
Among the three children, who will be chosen as the successor? Countless people are paying attention to this matter.
Gu Nanxi can delay this matter for a few years, but no later than ten years. A crown prince must be appointed, otherwise it will easily cause unrest.
"Lumei, three children, what do you think?"
Lu Mei paused as she carried the plate, pursed her lips and said, "They are all excellent."
"You are not honest."
"Alas, Master. How can a person remain unchanged? We haven't seen Dalang for several years. How can we understand his changes in just a few days?"
Gu Nanxi swallowed the sigh. Lumei, like many others, believed that Su Dalang was the eldest son and the rightful heir.
She is speaking well of Dalang.
"Where's Yunyan?"
Lumei's eyes were all smiling, and her tone became cheerful: "The young lady is the best young lady in the world. She is smart and capable, good at literature and martial arts, extremely witty, and filial. I wonder what kind of man can be worthy of the young lady?"
Gu Nanxi joked, "Since everything is good, why bother marrying into someone else's family?"
"You are right. When the time comes, we will build a big princess mansion for the young lady, so that she and her husband can live together in seclusion." Lumei had never thought about the possibility of becoming the crown princess.
As for Erlang, he had always wanted to live a free and unfettered life outside since he was a child. Sitting on the throne might be a torture for him.
Gu Nanxi chuckled. Lumei always said that one should not look at people with old eyes, but in fact, she was also looking at Yunyan and Erlang with old eyes.
Rights, oh rights. When you have not touched them, you will feel that [picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains] is a fairy-like day.
Once you come into contact with it, you will never live without rights again.
Just like Tao Yuanming, when he wrote "Picking Chrysanthemums Under the Eastern Fence" he did not mean that he was not attached to power and wanted to retire to the countryside.
On the contrary, the reason why he was so depressed was that the aristocratic class he belonged to was suppressed by the emperor and was increasingly losing its privileges, so he was dissatisfied.
At that time, he was in the best period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and Liu Song was in power.
Liu Yu came from the lower class and was well aware of the oppression of the common people by the aristocratic families, so he was very generous to the people, distributing land, levying light taxes, and providing them with channels for upward mobility.
Tao Yuanming's ancestors were very powerful. At the peak of their glory, most of the country belonged to his family.
What was a dark age in the eyes of the common people was his golden age.
But the pen of a writer is the most terrifying. One of his poems can elevate his entire person and turn him into a great hermit poet who does not care about fame or fortune.
Thinking of this, Gu Nanxi felt that it was necessary to regulate the dissemination of public opinion and to properly manage scholars.
Without reading history, just reading poetry, I feel it is romantic and touching.
Once you read history and connect it with the social background and the poet's life, you will feel that the works do not represent his character, but only his state of mind at that time.
