Seeing that she was thinking about the child, Jin Wushu felt somewhat comforted, and he said kindly, "Thank you for your trouble, madam."
"It's late at night. If you don't bother the Fourth Prince with this, please go and rest. I'll take care of it." Yelv Guanyin took the ginger soup with her own hands, took a spoon, and said with distress: "My child has a fever, how pitiful it is... Come on... , Mom will take care of you, you will be fine soon..."
Seeing her like this, Jin Wushu's mood finally improved after being depressed for a long time, and then he slowly went back to his room to rest.
As soon as Jin Wushu left, Yelv Guanyin immediately dismissed the servants, leaving only the wet nurse in the room.
She walked to the door and poured a bowl of ginger soup on the ground. The wet nurse was shocked and said hurriedly: "Madam Yelu, the young master hasn't taken the medicine yet..."
"Take medicine, what medicine should you take? In our country of Jin, when we are sick, we always ask witch doctors to do it, and we will be cured soon. What are you talking about? Don't harm my child..." She said and touched her lovingly. The child's head said, "If you wait a few days and it doesn't get better, mom will ask a witch doctor to do it for you..."
In fact, Yelv Guanyin was a Khitan and had started taking medicine for a long time. But when she saw Lu Wenlong was sick, she immediately understood that this was an excellent opportunity. If this little scoundrel died of illness, she would not bother to do it herself to avoid future disasters. Therefore. , where can I give him medicine
The wet nurse has also known some Jurchen customs in the past two years, and Yelu Guanyin's words are not completely unreasonable. She cannot refute, so she only knelt down and said: "Madam Yelu, the young master must take medicine..."
Yelu Guanyin was furious and kicked her: "You bitch, what do you know? My son is the beloved son of the fourth prince and my family. There is no room for error. If you dare to secretly poison your son with medicine in the future, I will certainly forgive you." I can't kill you..."
The wet nurse was even more frightened when she heard her fierce threats. She just kept kowtowing: "I don't dare, I don't dare..."
Only then did Yelu Guanyin go out. Two maids supported her on the left and right. She walked a few steps, then remembered something and said to the two servants outside: "You two will stay here day and night to watch the young master. Don't allow that old bitch to poison him with that soup. If the old bitch does anything wrong, you two can beat her..."
"yes!"
The wet nurse held back her cry, and Yelu Guanyin touched her belly happily. She slowly returned to the room and looked at the rare treasures presented by the Fourth Prince and the Shu Brocade snatched from the Song Dynasty on the big kang. The cushions and Jun kiln candlesticks were really refreshing. I lay down and fell asleep quickly.
Lord Wolf will rest for a few days and then convene again to discuss affairs.
This time, Zong Han and others no longer had any reason to beat the Wolf Lord, and the Wolf Lord also made concessions, allowing Zong Han to regain control of the military and get a promotion. The Wolf Lord looked around at the ministers and said slowly: "This time we are called together, it is about the crown prince. The problem… "
Zong Han immediately responded: "The emperor's brother is dead. According to the ancestral rules, Taizu's eldest grandson Heci should be appointed as the crown prince."
Puluhu couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "If you can't assassinate a teenage boy together, how can you become a crown prince?"
Zong Han overpowered him with a higher tone: "Let alone a ten-year-old, even a three-year-old can do it."
Puluhu pulled out the sword from his waist and was about to take action. Orido grabbed him and said, "Puluhu, you dare to commit murder? Unless you are my opponent..."
Puruhu was knocked down and fell on the earthen bed. The wolf owner was helpless and his face turned black with anger.
At this time, Jin Wushu spoke calmly: "According to my own opinion, He Ci is indeed not suitable to be the crown prince."
Zong Han sneered: "In the Song and Liao countries, even a child can become the emperor in a few months. What can't He Ci do?"
Jin Wushu still said in a neutral tone: "That's why the Liao and Song Dynasties were destroyed by our great Jin..."
His words were really hard to argue with. Zong Han, Orido and others looked at each other and had no words to answer. Indeed, among the Jurchen tribes, there have always been capable and virtuous people, and there is no precedent for young children to succeed to the throne.
Puluhu was overjoyed and looked at Jin Wushu gratefully. Orido saw that the situation was not good and immediately took out a letter: "This is written by Duke Hunde to the Nine Kings Zhao Deji, instructing the Nine Kings to return in exchange for land in Huainan."
Zong Qian said: "Hunde Gong is old and useless. He can be exchanged for the land in Huainan, but Chonghunhou can stay. If Zhao Deji does anything wrong, let Chonghunhou sit in Bianjing to fight against him. The Song Dynasty will naturally be in civil strife. .”
Zong Han snatched the letter and said loudly: "I think Yu Wenxuzhong, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, has great potential and is a useful person. Now we need to fight against the Song Dynasty and make peace at the same time to show the power of the Jin Dynasty. "He planned to beat the wolf leader with a stick and regain military power. Now he suddenly proposed peace. The intention of this move was that whether it was peace or war with the Song Dynasty, he must take the lead.
Jin Wushu was defeated at the hands of Wu Jie and Yue Pengju last time. He was resentful and wanted to take revenge. He said coldly: "If we want to attack the Song Dynasty, we must change our strategy. We must first capture Shangyuan in Guanzhong and surround the Song Dynasty from the heart." Only by destroying the Wu Jie country can it be effective, and then exchange it for the land of Huainan."
Although the Wolf Lord trusted Jin Wushu more closely, he had no fixed opinion on the peace negotiation with the Song Dynasty. He only said: "This matter is based on Zong Han and Zong Qian..."
The Jin people's political discussions were not as long-winded as those of the Song Dynasty. They solved problems in twos and twos and retreated from the court.
Puluhu received Jin Wushu's great help today. Although he has not yet confirmed his status as the crown prince, he indirectly denied Heci's inheritance rights. He was very happy. Seeing that Jin Wushu's intention to fight was rejected by his father, he wanted to comfort him. On the next day, he sent his close guards to invite Jin Wushu to his palace for a banquet.
Puluhu summoned seven or eight beauties from the Song Dynasty, Khitan and other countries to sing and dance, and personally held the lamp. However, he saw that Jin Wushu was unhappy. Knowing that Jin Wushu was refuted by his father because of the main battle, he hurriedly comforted him: "Fourth Prince, you have to make it yourself." If I defeat the Wolf Lord, I will definitely let you lead the army and completely destroy the Song Dynasty."
Jin Wushu didn't drink much. When Puluhu tried to persuade him again, Jin Wushu touched his ribs on his back and said angrily: "I searched the mountains and seas to arrest Zhao Deji. I suffered several serious injuries. This time I fought with Yue Pengju and Wu Jie." , and was seriously injured and has not recovered. I originally wanted to wait until this autumn, when my troops and horses are strong, to set off from Shangyuan, capture Wu Jie, and avenge this injury. It seems that there is no hope anymore... "
Puluhu saw that most of his arms were exposed, and there was a shocking scar from shoulder to chest. It was obviously deep into the bones. Even if it healed temporarily, it would cause pain when it encounters wind, rain or ice and snow, and the pain would penetrate to the bone marrow.
He was determined to win over Jin Wushu, and suddenly said: "Fourth Prince, I have a good thing for you."
"Oh, what good stuff?"
Puluhu waved his hand and said loudly: "Go get your own thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."
A personal servant immediately rushed in, took out a box, opened it, and saw a Ganoderma lucidum inside. Puluhu said proudly: "This is what my father gave me on my twentieth birthday last year..."
It turns out that the Jin people have learned the customs of the Song Dynasty and celebrated some festivals over the years. For their own selfish reasons, when their eldest son was twenty years old, they gave him an adult crown ceremony according to the customs of the Han people, indicating that he was upright and worthy of being the crown prince. Heir. This thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is one of the gifts given to his son.
The Jurchens' mink skins and Ganoderma lucidum are famous, but I don't think they are particularly precious. Moreover, although Ganoderma lucidum is good, it is only effective for injuries. Ordinary people take it for nothing more than prolonging life, but it will never lead to immortality or resurrection. Therefore, Pu Seeing the scars on Jin Wushu's back, Lu Hu immediately took out the Ganoderma lucidum and gave it to him: "Fourth Prince, you can take this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum back and decoct it. It will greatly relieve the pain."
Jin Wushu didn't have much interest in Ganoderma lucidum, but he still politely thanked Puluhu.
When Jin Wushu returned home, Yelu Guanyin saw the guard holding the box and asked, "What is this?"
The guard handed it to her, and she opened it and saw that it was Ganoderma lucidum.
Jin Wushu had been unhappy these days, so he simply said: "This is the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum given to me by Puluhu. Please keep it."
"I immediately ordered you to go down and prepare the soup for the fourth prince to take."
"No need, keep it for now and talk about it later."
"yes."
After many twists and turns, Ma Su interacted with a group of witch doctors every day, but he found out that the Ganoderma lucidum had been given to the fourth prince by Puluhu. He immediately reported it to the King of Qin. The King of Qin was overjoyed when he heard this and went to the fourth prince's house to steal the Ganoderma lucidum. That would definitely be much easier than going to the Wolf Lord's palace.
When the Jin Kingdom was in trouble for the heir to the crown prince, the Song Kingdom was not idle either.
In the summer of this year, Qin Hui and his wife returned to Song Dynasty.
According to Jin Wushu's plan, they first crossed the river pretending to be fleeing. As soon as they landed, they met a local official. When the local officials saw that Qin Hui, the former number one scholar of the Song Dynasty and the censor, had returned to the Song Dynasty, they did not dare to be rude. In addition, Qin Hui and his wife had already married. The lie was so well planned that the local officials immediately escorted him to Beijing.
After returning to Beijing, Qin Hui was not in a hurry to see the emperor, but went to Wang Junhua's seventh brother's house that day.
Wang Junhua's seventh brother did business during the war and made a fortune. When he came back, he bought a fifth-grade official position and lived a very wealthy life. When he heard that his sister and brother-in-law had returned, he immediately gathered relatives and friends.
There were more than a dozen brothers in the Wang family. Wang Junhua was the only daughter. She was very favored at home. She immediately brought her son from a concubine and said, "I would like to adopt this son to my sister-in-law... I have already chosen a name for him, and he will be called Qin Xi..." "
It turned out that Wang Qi was married to the Zheng family, the daughter of the late Shangshu. The Zheng family was fierce and would not tolerate the son of a concubine. Once the concubine died, the child became a doormat. Wang Qi had long wanted to find a way out for his son.
Wang Junhua had never given birth, and Qin Hui was not allowed to take concubines. The couple were afraid of having no children, so they were overjoyed to see his brother like this, especially Wang Junhua. The child was at least related to him by blood, so he immediately took the child away and affectionately called him son.
Wang Junhua knew the details of his sister-in-law and said loudly: "Son, follow mom, no one will dare to bully you anymore."
She said this to her sister-in-law, and at the same time warned Qin Hui not to take concubines, otherwise he would not have a good life even if he gave birth to a child. Wang Qi saw that his sister's female power was still as strong as before, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief for his son.
When Wang Qi asked about his experience, Wang Junhua said: "My family traveled 2,800 miles from Yanjing to the capital..." Qin Hui revealed the truth as soon as his wife opened her mouth, saying that the distance from Yanjing to the new capital of the Song Dynasty was not 2,800 miles at all. After hurriedly winking at her, Wang Junhua immediately stopped and talked about something else.
After the banquet broke up, the couple lived in the upper-class residential house rented by Wang Qi. Qin Hui closed the door and immediately told his wife: "Even though we are brothers and sisters, we cannot reveal even a single word, otherwise we will be afraid." It brings disaster."
Although Wang Junhua had always looked down on Qin Hui, he admired his sagacity. He immediately agreed and said, "The fourth prince treats his family with great kindness. This time when he returns to the Song Dynasty, he must do his best to serve him."
Qin Hui said: "Let's not go to pay homage to the emperor yet. I learned from my family along the way that now the new emperor favors the medical officer Wang Jixian and Eunuch Kang. You might as well go and get married as a female dependent. I will go to prevent old friends and gain their trust and recommendation." Say it again."
Qin Hui knew very well that the censor Zhongcheng should not get close to eunuchs and others, so he only let his wife take action and keep his reputation. Wang Junhua saw him step by step, knocked him on the head, and laughed: "Old ghost, you are really amazing. I have more than ten brothers." All of them, taken together, are not as good as you, Old Ghost Qin..."
Qin Hui was praised by the tigress, and he also twirled his beard and smiled. The couple went to bed. Wang Junhua touched his thin ribs and deeply missed the kindness of the fourth prince. He was determined to do his best to complete the tasks entrusted by the fourth prince. A great fantasy: If one day, the fourth prince wins the Song Dynasty, I can become one of his concubines, warm the bed and fold the quilt, which is better than lying in the same bed with this "useless" old ghost.
