Xiao Rui was still pinching Du Ruhui's veins, his brows were deeply furrowed, as if he had encountered a huge problem. Li Er was so angry that he kicked him directly and urged: "What's going on?"
Xiao Rui released his hand to feel the pulse, shook his head and sighed: "Xiang Du has a tumor on his lung, which is not good! With the current medical conditions... ugh!"
What? ? ?
Li Er grieved and said: "Keming, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why? By acting like this, where did you put the friendship between you and me as a monarch and my ministers?"
Du He rushed to hug Xiao Rui's leg and begged: "Xiao Rui, please save father, please save father. It was all my fault in the past. You can beat me, scold me or kill me. As long as you save my father." , I, Du He, are at your disposal!"
Li Er persuaded: "Du Erlang, what are you doing? The last incident has been revealed. Is Xiao Rui a person seeking personal revenge? Get up quickly."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Rui said: "Let me think about it, this disease is a terminal illness in the world. It's not that I don't want to treat it, but it's because I don't have enough medical skills to make rash promises."
oh? So, you have an idea? Li Er heard the hidden meaning and quickly grabbed Xiao Rui to ask.
Xiao Rui only said that he needed to think carefully, and walked straight to the table in the room alone, sitting down and meditating.
A tumor in the lungs will become cancer in later generations. Cancer is called a lump in traditional Chinese medicine. The main cause of cancer is a weak constitution. Weakness of righteousness leads to the invasion of six evil toxins and the formation of lumps over time. Once formed, it is difficult to cure with medicinal stones, so it is basically a terminal illness.
Under current conditions, can traditional Chinese medicine treat cancer? I don’t know if there is, but Xiao Rui doesn’t know how. He only knows Western medicine for surgical resection. The question is, how could this be possible in the ancient Tang Dynasty?
Although traditional Chinese medicine also has surgical operations, they are mostly used to treat red wounds on the skin. This kind of surgery involves moving the internal organs. Since the death of Hua Tuo, the Qingsang Meridian has been lost, so no one knows how to do it.
Here, Du Gou brought the unfinished memorial. Urged by Du Ruhui to cough violently, Li Er had no choice but to look at it, and only then did he realize how serious the problem was.
"So many things happened? Alas...it was Du Ming after all. Because of this unexpected victory, the civil and military officials of the court and even the people of Chang'an were celebrating, completely forgetting the threat and revenge of the grassland. Only you One person clearly saw the crisis in the future, Ke Ming, that’s amazing!”
Du Ruhui breathed for a moment and was finally able to say a few words calmly, "Your Majesty, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Originally on the grassland, because Jieli listened to Zhao Deyan's actions and forcibly restrained each tribe, it caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the tribes below. The Turks were powerful on the surface, In fact, it’s like a piece of loose sand, and the threat is not that great.”
"But it's different now. The champion marched into the grassland, fought thousands of miles away, and slaughtered all the way. He almost provoked all the Turkic tribes, big and small, and everyone hated me in the Tang Dynasty. This led to external forces helping the Turks to unite. As you can imagine You know, in the future, as long as Jie Li raises the banner of revenge against the Tang Dynasty, the grassland tribes will definitely flock to him and respond to his call."
hiss……
Li Er nodded: "That's true, alas... There are many people in the grassland, and almost all of them are masters of mounted archery. They mount their horses to serve as soldiers, and dismount their horses to serve the people. When the people's support is low, Jieli can mobilize an army of 200,000 people. If the people's support can be used, I'm afraid the number of troops and horses can be doubled, and the cavalry composed of 40,000 horses we just acquired will be a drop in the bucket."
Du Ruhui nodded and said: "Yes! This is exactly what I am worried about. Therefore, after thinking hard for many days, I think that splitting the Turks is the best way. If we fight hard, the cost will be too high. If we win, both sides will lose. .”
At this moment, Xiao Rui, who was meditating on the side, suddenly stood up and interrupted loudly: "I object!"
"Huh? Boy, you are focused on thinking about the treatment plan, and here we are discussing wiping your butt." Li Er scolded.
Wipe your ass? What he said is, am I willing to travel thousands of miles into the grassland and narrowly escape death? Am I not trying to solve the crisis in Youzhou?
Xiao Rui frowned, then walked over and explained: "I knew what Prime Minister Du was worried about early on, and I set fires everywhere on the grassland deliberately. The purpose was to incite hatred and to unite them all. "
"What???" Li Er and Du Ruhui were stunned at the same time. Is this kid crazy?
Xiao Rui said calmly: "When we were in the grassland, I asked Huaidao and the others a question: Why has the killing between the grassland and the Central Plains never stopped from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, from the Huns to the Turks? Yes. Haven't we conquered the grasslands? No, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty sent General Meng Tian to lead a hundred thousand Meng family troops to resist the Huns in the north. During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Huns in the north, almost annihilating them, and drove the Huns directly to the west. Then? After a period of calm, the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the two Jin Dynasties and the five chaos in China? And now the threat of the Turks? "
"The barbarians in the grassland are like stubborn grass. Wild fire cannot burn it out, but it will grow again when the spring breeze blows!"
"Why is this happening?"
The two sons of the Du family, Du Gou and Du He, were deeply attracted by Xiao Rui's eloquent talk. It turned out that they knew so much history. Yes, why?
Li Er and Du Ruhui looked at each other and seemed to have the answer in their hearts at the same time. A group of boys can't see through it, but the emperor and prime minister can't?
Du Ruhui was lying in bed and couldn't speak, so Li Er explained: "Well, this is also a helpless move. The grassland is bitterly cold and it is too far away from the Central Plains. We cannot build cities or immigrate, so even if we defeat the Turks and take over the territory, we There is no way to dominate for a long time, it is beyond the reach of the whip!"
Du Ruhui added: "Emperors of all dynasties know this truth. In terms of combat power, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's northern attack on the Xiongnu was probably not as good as the warriors of the Qin Dynasty under the command of the First Emperor of Qin. Is it because the First Emperor could not see a way to eradicate the weeds once and for all? I'm not sure. The First Emperor was a man of great talent and strategy, but even those who were stronger than him had no good strategy. They could only build the Great Wall and send Meng Tian's 100,000 troops to defend. The Huns back then were probably not as good as the Turks today."
Li Er patted Xiao Rui's shoulder: "Boy, you want to gather the Turks and annihilate them for the next hundred years. I can't say anything to you. You have good intentions and good plans, but you are too impatient. Today’s Tang Dynasty can’t afford it. So, it’s better to listen to Prime Minister Du, divide it into parts, and find a way to remedy it.”
Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows, slightly curved his mouth, and said leisurely: "What if I have a way to build cities and roads on the grassland, and realize the Tang Dynasty's absolute rule over the grassland?"
What? ? ? If this is the case, then the grassland is the back garden of the Tang Dynasty. But this is impossible! The Tang Dynasty's national power simply couldn't do it.
On the contrary, Du Ruhui's eyes lit up on the hospital bed. He knew that countless impossible miracles had happened to this prince-in-law. Since he dared to say it, it would not be without purpose.
"Your Majesty, why don't you listen to your consort's advice?"
"Keming, it's important to treat you now. Don't let this kid do whatever he wants."
"Hahahaha, Your Majesty, at this moment, there is nothing better than listening to the consort's advice. This is the best medicine. If the consort can really solve the grassland's problems, I can retire and recuperate at home. "
