Chapter 127 Imperial Edict
Wang Shuo stood up and bowed slightly to Jun Qiulan.
"Mr. Jun, how are you?"
Jun Qiulan returned the greeting: "Lord Wang, I hope you are well."
Wang Shuo glanced at his lame leg and took out the imperial edict. "This is the imperial edict that His Majesty secretly sent to me before I left the capital. Young Master Jun, please take it home and read it for yourself. I will not read it."
An imperial decree given in secret.
Jun Qiulan was also confused. He took it and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang."
Lord Wang waved his hand and said, "I'm not the one you're targeting. I'm just a pretext for setting off first. The court is in chaos right now, so the main event will begin in a few days."
Wang Shuo tells the story.
The court is controlled by the relatives of several princes. If it were not for the urgency of the war, the supply of food and grass this year would have been delayed again and again.
It’s not certain whether you can get it.
He was the military supervisor appointed by the emperor, but there was someone else who escorted the grain and fodder.
He is the eldest prince's mother's uncle, and he is now at the peak of his career in the court.
After all, the eldest prince is the oldest and has the highest possibility of inheriting the throne.
Anyone with a little bit of intelligence knows that the younger the emperor is, the longer he will be controlled by his mother's family.
Perhaps the emperor didn't know how many years he could live, and the eldest prince was his first child, so he had always doted on him.
Even if several more princes were born later, except for the youngest one, no one's rules could surpass those of the eldest prince.
When he was three years old, he could recite the Three Character Classic and was taken to the court by the emperor.
It was precisely because of this that a signal was given to the eldest prince's uncle.
Of course, the other princes’ relatives are not pushovers either.
Wang Shuo said, "Your Majesty's current situation is also very difficult."
He seemed to be hinting at something.
After hearing this, Jun Qiulan fell silent.
He was unavailable for comment.
In fact, it is conceivable that the relatives of several princes showed their abilities in the court. Even the emperor would find it difficult to balance this so-called court at this time.
Also, the emperor pursued immortality and did so many evil things, so he doesn't deserve sympathy.
To use the words of another world, this emperor simply messed up his own business.
He thought he was the emperor and that he had the final say in the entire court and the entire world.
Whoever he wants to be the next emperor will be the next crown prince.
If he didn't want to, he could be demoted and abandoned at any time like Jun Qiulan.
Now, it was obvious that he could no longer control the situation.
Even when there was a war on the border, the military supervisors he personally sent had to be monitored by other people.
Jun Qiulan just felt funny.
However, it also indirectly reflects that the problems in the court are much more chaotic than they imagined.
After all, in most cases, the court is indeed the emperor's one-man show.
I have no say in sending military supervisors.
Jun Qiulan looked at the imperial edict he had just received...
Suddenly I don’t want to open it anymore.
They now have their own plans and arrangements, and it is only a matter of time before the problems in the court are settled.
There is no need to open the imperial edict and add unnecessary trouble to yourself.
Wang Shuo added, "His Majesty has given an oral order. If you don't want to read it, you must stay."
Jun Qiulan: "..."
After all, they have been father and son for 18 years, so I know him well.
He sighed and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang."
Wang Shuo waved his hand and said, "The imperial edict has been delivered, and my mission is accomplished."
He turned around and said to Huo Yan, "I think the general's suggestion is a good one. Living in the barracks is more appropriate."
Huo Yan nodded. "The military camp has also prepared a welcoming banquet for Lord Wang. There's nothing fancy in this border town, just simple food. Lord Wang, please don't be disgusted. Please come in."
Wang Shuo nodded and walked out of the yard.
He didn't even ask any more questions, as if he just wanted to hand the imperial edict to Jun Qiulan personally.
Duan Wen, Huo Lan, and Jun Qiulan exchanged glances with each other.
Jun Qiulan nodded slightly.
Things are more complicated than they imagined.
The eldest prince's uncle, Lord Jin, is not an easy person to get along with.
I have always loved playing power games.
Before the emperor had his own son, probably for the sake of his own sister, he also thought about marrying his own daughter to Jun Qiulan as the Crown Princess.
In addition, the eldest prince's mother was considered a favorite concubine before.
If Jun Qiulan married the daughter of Lord Jin, he would naturally have to respect the concubine when he ascended the throne.
Jun Qiulan shook his head.
After they walked away, Jun Yu and Song Xirong came over.
"Now it's clear, do we want to see this imperial edict?" Jun Yu asked.
Jun Qiulan: "Since it's been delivered, there's no reason not to take a look."
Duan Wen, Mr. Su, and Huo Lian are all waiting for news.
Jun Yu also thought so.
"Come on, let's go inside and take a look." Jun Yu walked in front.
Jun Qiulan took a step forward, and Song Xirong realized something was wrong.
My son's limp is not fake.
"Lan'er, what's wrong with you? Are you injured?" Song Xirong was anxious.
Jun Qiulan said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, it's just a sprain. I went to see the doctor and he told me to just rest for a few days and try not to exert too much force these days."
Song Xirong still rolled up his trouser legs and took a look.
I couldn't help but gasp.
It's swollen like a steamed bun. How can you say it's okay?
Jun Qiulan quickly showed them the X-ray film he had hidden away. "It's really nothing. No bones were injured, just tendons and muscles."
Song Xirong and Jun Yu watched the film and exclaimed that it was amazing.
You can actually see people's bones clearly.
"I also bought some special medicine. It should be almost effective in a few days."
The couple helped Jun Qiulan in, and Su Changxun happened to arrive too.
"What's going on?"
Jun Qiulan had to explain again.
Su Changxun gave an order to the servant Liu Tong who followed him.
"A royal physician was exiled here a long time ago. I have a good relationship with him. He happens to be an expert in treating injuries. Don't think it's not serious just because there are no broken bones. A broken bone will take a hundred days to heal."
This old imperial physician was also disillusioned with the court. After being exiled, he lived alone in the mountains and adopted a few orphans to serve as his medicine boys. He would go up the mountain to collect herbs when he had nothing to do.
I rarely go down the mountain.
It was during the epidemic last year that the prescription developed by this old imperial physician was of great use.
Jun Qiulan did not refuse Su Changxun's kindness.
At the same time, Jun Qiulan also discovered a problem in another world.
The medical technology in the other world is indeed very advanced, but traditional medicine, which relies on the three diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation, seems to have declined.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is also a very powerful discipline.
Now in another world, if people want to focus on health, they basically still believe in traditional Chinese medicine.
So, the other world has brought so many changes to them, can he also make a little contribution to the other world?
While waiting for the old imperial physician to arrive, Jun Qiulan and others unfolded the imperial edict in the small adobe house.
After watching it, everyone fell silent.
The imperial edict stated that Jun Qiulan would be made regent, and no matter which prince became emperor in the future, Jun Qiulan would assist him.
Of course, Jun Qiulan was not left alone.
He also left behind a few trustworthy and capable ministers, such as Wang Shuo who came today.
As for military strength, it is still Huo Lian.
He had no authority to mobilize troops, but he had the right to ask Huo Lian to assist him in eliminating the remnants of the imperial court.
Jun Qiulan simply didn't know what to say.
There was also a letter included in the imperial edict.
Jun Qiulan didn't want to elaborate at all.
It was Su Changxun who opened it and took a look.
Immediately, he also shook his head.
He was the top scorer in the imperial examination and lived with the emperor for ten years.
Naturally, he could see that the emperor was somewhat self-willed and not very talented.
The letter said that when Jun Qiulan "rebelled", he spared the lives of Jun Qiulan and his family just to let Jun Qiulan temporarily leave the chaotic capital.
Then he lay dormant and waited for an opportunity to return to the court.
Su Changxun simply didn't know what to say.
Isn't this so-called "rebellion" just a crime that the emperor and other ministers forcibly framed Jun Qiulan?
Now you're saying it's for his own good?
He was also appointed as the regent, so he should be grateful?
Just by looking at Su Changxun's constipated expression, Jun Qiulan guessed what the letter was about.
After all, they have been together for eighteen years, and he has called him father for eighteen years.
This father emperor understood him, and he certainly understood this father emperor as well.
Su Changxun was very disgusted: "Since it's useless to talk about it, what should we do next?"
Arranging Huo Lian to Jun Qiulan probably shows that he has a certain degree of trust in Jun Qiulan.
Jun Qiulan didn't even blink: "We have our own plans, there's no need to get involved in this mess."
As for this regent? Does he care about him?
Is the ideal world they are pursuing now comparable to a throne?
Furthermore, throughout history, which regent has ever had a good ending?
After he assisted the emperor in ruling the country and the emperor gained control of his power, the first person he wanted to take action against was the extremely powerful regent.
Indeed, the saying "learn from history" makes a lot of sense.
Jun Qiulan continued, "The eldest prince's uncle, Lord Jin, is escorting grain here. He must have bad intentions. We must prevent him from leaving this place."
Su Changxun also had a smile on his face.
He always felt that Jun Qiulan was too kind-hearted, and it was inevitable that he would occasionally think that he was indecisive. In the words of another world, Jun Qiulan's occasional behavior was a bit like that of a saintly father.
However, when it comes to truly major issues of right and wrong, Jun Qiulan will not show mercy.
That's good.
A kind leader is always better than a violent leader.
What's more, if a war really breaks out, Jun Qiulan's kindness can save more people's lives.
Otherwise, just look at history.
Every time a dynasty changes, the number of casualties accounts for almost one-third of the country's total.
This is not alarmist, it is recorded in history books.
The new world they pursue is one in which the people can live a good life.
If too many people really die because of this, I am afraid that the remaining people will also question their ideas.
Jun Qiulan said, "No matter what, we've come this far. There's absolutely no reason to change our path."
Su Changxun stroked his beard and said, "Actually, if you return to the court first and gain a certain degree of influence, it will be helpful to our ideals."
Jun Qiulan shook his head. "If I go back to the court now, I'll be a sitting duck. The emperor is already struggling to take care of himself, and there's no way he can protect me. Then I'll have to deal with the princes' relatives like I did back then."
These people are not easy to deal with.
Su Changxun just said that.
In the long run, only by gaining the right to speak can one stand at a higher place and let more people see their pursuits.
But from a practical point of view, returning to the court now is indeed too risky.
No need.
Soon, the old imperial physician also came over riding on a donkey.
He is in his sixties, but looks about the same age as Jun Yu.
You know, in this border town, Jun Yu is much younger than other men of his age. After all, he has lived a life of luxury for the past forty years and has never experienced hardship.
It turned out that this imperial physician was even more extraordinary.
Song Xirong looked at him and said, "Old Doctor Xu is also a man of youthful appearance."
Doctor Xu laughed heartily, his voice resounding like a bell. "This place is actually quite nourishing. Good food and drink. No matter the worldly troubles, one naturally looks younger."
Jun Qiulan had some impression of this imperial physician.
It seems like it has been more than ten years since I was demoted here.
It seems that he offended the emperor because he was infertile, so he was exiled to a border town.
I never heard from Dr. Xu again.
It seems that there are actually quite a few talented people who were exiled to this border town.
Just looking at the fact that their business has started now, many people have seen what they are going to do. In recent days, many people have come forward wanting to join them.
Of course, they don't accept everyone. They always have to investigate before hiring anyone.
Some were exiled because of their family involvement, but they themselves have not committed any crime, so such people can be used.
Some of them are exiled because their immediate relatives committed crimes. Such people can be used for minor tasks but not for major ones for the time being, unless they have special talents.
Some people are guilty of their own mistakes, so there is nothing to say. No matter how talented such people are, they will not be hired.
There are also some, like the family of Mrs. Zhao next door, who have been wronged. After finding out the truth, they can be hired and assigned according to their abilities.
While Jun Qiulan was still thinking about these things, Doctor Xu was already examining his ankle.
Then he looked at the X-ray film on the table and praised it highly.
He also knew that over the past year or so, several new and innovative medicines had appeared in the city.
He was also aware of some minor surgical operations.
He was fascinated by medicine all his life. In his opinion, as long as it can cure patients and relieve their pain, it is good medicine.
Although the new medical skills are a bit strange, it’s fine as long as they work.
When Liu Tong went to see Doctor Xu, he said he had a sprain, and Doctor Xu directly brought the medicine he had prepared.
"If you apply this medicine for three days in a row, you should be cured."
Jun Qiulan was somewhat surprised as expected.
He knew that traditional medicine was also very powerful, but he did not expect that the doctor over there asked him to rest for at least ten days or half a month, while Dr. Xu here directly told him that he would be cured in three days.
Jun Qiulan handed over the Yunnan Baiyao and said, "Doctor, please take a look at this medicine."
This is also a traditional Chinese medicine, but its properties are slightly different.
Jun Qiulan sprayed a little on the back of Doctor Xu's hand.
Doctor Xu sniffed it and his eyes lit up immediately. "This is also a good thing. The medicine used in this medicine is not rare, and the cost should not be high. If we can research it, we can also use it ourselves."
As for the efficacy, there is no comparison.
The medicine he gave Jun Qiulan contained several rare medicinal materials, which were impossible to promote among the people.
That is, he often took his medicine boy to the mountains to collect herbs, and sprains and falls were common. He developed the method for his own use.
If the common people want to use this medicine, they will have to spend all their money to buy it.
However, the medicine that Jun Qiulan took out was more suitable for civilian use.
Jun Qiulan was not stingy and directly gave him the medicine box and instructions.
"If we can figure it out, it will benefit the people."
"Give it a try." He could smell that the main ingredient was actually Panax notoginseng, and the others needed further research.
Doctor Xu didn't waste any time and left with the medicine.
Obviously, he didn't want to get involved in what they were doing now.
He was just a doctor. What did the rebellion have to do with him? He was lucky enough to save a few people.
Jun Qiulan sighed: "In another world, such an old doctor would be a national treasure."
Every world has its own merits, and sometimes it is impossible to compare them.
I just hope that after their revolution succeeds, these old doctors can write books and biographies to pass on their medical skills.
In the evening, Jun Qiulan finally contacted Huo Lan using the walkie-talkie.
Tell him the contents of the imperial edict.
Huo Yan couldn't help but laugh twice, "Alright, that bastard Jin Lord is here, let me greet him properly."
It’s not necessary to kill Mr. Jin directly for the time being.
They have to make good use of it and try to maximize their own interests.
As for Duan Wen, Su Changxun has already gone to inform him.
In short, this imperial edict did not bring about any change for them.
They still do what they should do.
Of course.
It’s not completely unusable.
If an emergency occurs, they can also take the imperial edict and raise the banner to pull some people into their camp.
After all, no matter which prince becomes the emperor, the relatives of other princes will never accept it and will always cause trouble.
And they could just take the imperial edict and purge the court.
The next day.
Jun Qiulan still went to the crew.
After applying the ointment given by Dr. Xu last night, the pain and redness almost disappeared immediately. If I don’t walk, I can hardly feel the pain.
After considering it, Jun Qiulan decided to join the crew.
Prepare to send Jun Bai back smuggled.
My parents have asked Yan Jing several times whether he doesn't plan to send Jun Bai back.
They raised Jun Baisong until he grew up to be fat and strong. Even if Jun Baisong was originally given by Yan Jing to Jun Qiulan, they would not return him.
What can Jun Qiulan do?
I can only come to the crew to steal cats.
When Jun Qiulan arrived at the crew, it was already a little late.
That's exactly what he wanted.
Jun Baisong was basking in the sun on the giant cat climbing frame behind Yan Jing. Yan Jing was directing the play and didn't pay much attention.
Jun Qiulan took the opportunity to rescue Jun Baisong.
Just as she was about to leave, Yan Jing grabbed her clothes.
"I told you to rest at home, but you came to the set to steal cats?"
Jun Qiulan said confidently: "What do you mean by stealing a cat? Jun Baisong is my cat son. He misses his grandparents too."
Yan Jing was choked for a moment and looked at Jun Qiulan's walking posture.
"It's healed so soon?"
Jun Qiulan: "It will be almost there in two days. I changed to a traditional Chinese medicine recipe. It is very effective in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Now I don't feel any pain even if I walk."
Hearing about folk remedies, Yan Jing, who grew up in a big city, felt his temples twitch twice. To him, folk remedies meant they were unreliable.
Jun Qiulan lifted up his trouser legs and said, "It really works. I won't joke with my body."
Yan Jing didn't believe it, fearing that the folk remedy he used contained some hormones.
He had seen a news report before about a village immortal who claimed to be able to cure all diseases.
When villagers have a headache or fever, they don’t go to the doctor. Instead, they go to the immortal to ask for a talisman paper. After burning it, mixing it with water and drinking it, the pain will be relieved.
It was later revealed that the cinnabar used by this immortal to draw talismans was soaked in veterinary antibiotics.
Antibiotics, to a certain extent, can indeed treat many diseases.
He was worried that Jun Qiulan would encounter the same situation.
"Sit down first, let me take a look."
Jun Qiulan had no choice but to hold Jun Baisong and sit next to Yan Jing.
As soon as he sat down, Yan Jing lifted his feet up.
There was medicine applied to the ankle and it was wrapped in gauze, but a strong and unpleasant odor could still be smelled.
The taste is weird. Why does it feel similar to the tiger bone wine that his grandfather brought back from abroad?
He couldn't help but move closer and smell it again.
Jun Qiulan: “???”
The onlookers and the actors who were nearby: “???”
What's going on?
These two people are smelling feet in broad daylight?
Does Director Yan Jing have any special hobbies?
Jun Qiulan quickly retracted her legs: "I told you this is a folk remedy passed down from generation to generation, there won't be any problems."
He peeled back a corner of the gauze and said, "Look, the redness and swelling have subsided."
Yan Jing also realized that his behavior was like being a hooligan. Seeing that the redness and swelling of his ankle yesterday had subsided and only partial bruising remained, he reluctantly believed that the medicine was effective.
However, he really smelled the scent of tiger bone wine.
This folk remedy uses tiger bones?
Tigers are national protected animals. Killing them without authorization is very serious.
Jun Qiulan didn't notice the change in Yan Jing's expression and directly talked about Jun Baisong.
"Anyway, Jun Baisong only had one scene with me, and it's over now. He has to rush to catch up with other announcements."
Of course I should go back and accompany my parents.
Jun Baisong is now a member of their family. After not seeing him for so long and since he can't speak, his parents are always worried that he is being wronged outside.
What else could Yan Jing say?
"Do you have a new understanding of the part I asked you to think about?"
Jun Qiulan felt guilty for a moment, "I'm still figuring it out."
Yan Jing said with a smile: "Don't think about getting away with it. This scene will have to be re-shot eventually."
"I know." Jun Qiulan always remembered this incident.
Yan Jing added, "After your foot heals, start filming the dancing scenes first. It will be time to cool down after a while."
The custom-made 'performance' costumes are still relatively cool.
How could they possibly let this man, who was once the most noble young man in the capital, go on stage with dignity and grace if they were to insult him?
Jun Qiulan knew this and added, "Your abdominal muscles are also maintained, don't worry."
He has now completely overcome this psychological barrier.
He can't even be considered to have dedicated himself to art. As an actor, no matter what role he plays, he has to take responsibility for the life of that character in the play.
"Then I won't come over these few days." He said tentatively.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: There are probably three or four more chapters left of the revealing scenes.
There are red envelopes in yesterday's chapter. I will send them to everyone after get off work. Don't forget.
Love you.
