In mid-July, Yang Hao persuaded Liu Zhaosun to recruit his wife Yang Qing'er to the capital.
The reason given by my father-in-law is quite sufficient:
According to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, when the new emperor ascends the throne, his wife must go to the capital to meet the emperor and empress.
Of course Liu Zhaosun knew that this was an idea that his father-in-law came up with to balance the strength of his daughter and Jin Yuji.
Unknowingly, Liu Zhaosun and his wife had been separated for half a year.
Apart from Jin Yuji, the person he misses the most now is Yang Qing'er.
Although he knew that Yang Hao was making small plans, he still sent someone back to Liaodong to bring Yang Qing'er to Beijing.
After Jin Yuji returned to the capital with her daughter, she was favored.
Pei Dahu, Wu Xiao, Lin Yu (no longer in the capital), and Shen Lian saved the lives of Jin's mother and son.
On the way back to the capital from Dengzhou, these people had unconsciously formed some kind of alliance of interests.
In addition to the foursome, former Minister of War Xu Guangqi, Penglai County Magistrate Ge Yewen, North Korean general Jin Yinghe and others also supported Jin Yuji.
Yang Hao, an old fox in the officialdom, could tell at a glance that Jin Yuji's power had grown and had seriously threatened his daughter's position as the head wife.
After returning to the capital, Yang Hao immediately attracted various factions.
With the golden name of Ping Liao Hou's father-in-law, many people want to give Yang Hao some face.
From the six capital officials to the old ministry, all began to join his command under Yang Hao's coercion and inducement.
On the eve of Yang Qing'er's arrival in the capital, various forces in Kaiyuan had been grouped and merged many times, and finally evolved into five factions, namely:
First, the Jin Yuji faction composed of Ge Yewen, Xu Guangqi, Pei Dahu, Lin Yu, Wu Xiao, and Jin Yinghe (North Korean forces), referred to as the Jin Party;
Second, Qiao Yiqi, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chuanting, Deng Changxiong, Mao Yuanyi and other Kaiyuan veterans, they belong to the stable faction and are the most powerful faction;
Third, the Gaoming Lady Party, headed by Yang Hao, composed of Kang Yingqian, Wang Huazhen, Wang Zaijin, and many generals who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, referred to as the Hou Party, is an emerging force among the five factions;
Fourth, the hawks composed of Qi Jin, Wang Erhu, Kang Yingqian, Wu Aheng, Du Du, and Burhanggu were the most radical of the five factions. It was their idea to replace the Ming Dynasty in attacking Annan, Japan. After Kang Yingqian was exiled, the hawks disappeared a lot.
Fifth, the missionary and civil affairs force composed of instructors and civil affairs officers such as Senti, Ma Shiying, Xie Yang, Lei Jiangtou, etc. They are the weakest among the five major factions, but as the mouthpiece of Ping Liaohou, their influence cannot be tolerated. underestimate.
At present, these five factions are loyal to Ping Liaohou.
Of course, there are still some differences between different factions in terms of foreign policies and distribution of interests.
As Marquis Ping Liao was promoted to supervise the country and was one step away from ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, the struggle between the Jin Yuji and Yang Qing'er factions began to emerge.
Of course, neither woman is yet aware of this struggle.
Yang Hao used the excuse of ordering his wife to perform Hajj and proposed to take his daughter to the capital from Kaiyuan.
This approach intensified the contradiction between the Jin Party and the Hou Party, which usually remain secluded.
This time, Yang Qing'er didn't come alone.
Also coming with her is the stunning beauty Zhang Yan.
This was Kang Yingqian's idea. This old cunning man is now in Shenyang, but he still wants to hold on to power and won't let go.
Kang Yingqian's plan is to unite with Yang Qing'er through Zhang Yan, so as to cooperate with Yang Hao to fight against Jin Yuji and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback.
From Yang Hao's point of view, he is naturally willing to support a commoner's daughter with no foundation and use Zhang Yan to deal with the rising Korean enchantress.
Shen Lian was independent of each faction, monitored closely through secret investigations, and reported all the circumstances of these power struggles to Ping Liaohou.
Liu Zhaosun acted very Buddhist.
As long as it doesn't cause too much trouble, he won't interfere too much.
After all, where there are people, there are interests, and where there are interests, there are party struggles.
It is better to block than to open up.
At the request of Marquis Ping Liao, the generals who participated in the Jingnan Campaign were rewarded, and even the Ming troops who surrendered one after another after breaking Shanhaiguan were promoted.
Deng Changxiong was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of Kaiyuan, Wang Erhu was promoted to commander-in-chief of Tieling, Qi Jin and Wu Aheng were promoted to commander-in-chief of Guangning and Fuzhou respectively.
Anyway, these are all empty titles, and the court's rewards are just like wholesale, and they are not stingy at all.
In addition to generals, civil servants in Kaiyuan were also promoted. Qiao Yiqi and Sun Chuanting also took up empty posts in the Six Ministries. Yang Gao was restored to Ji and Governor of Liao and was given Shang Fang a sword. In this way, he, Yang Jinglue, finally lived up to his name.
The chores came to an end, and Liu Zhaosun could finally spend time with Jin Yuji and his daughter.
He named his daughter Liu Yufei.
Taken from "The Book of Songs·North Wind"
The north wind makes it cool, and the rain and snow make it cool. Be kind to me and walk hand in hand. Is it false or evil? It’s urgent!
The north wind blows, and the rain and snow fall. Please be kind to me, and we will go home together hand in hand. Is it false or evil? It’s urgent!
This poem tells the story of people who could not bear the oppression of their rulers and risked their lives to escape.
After Liu Yufei was born, her mother fled Wendeng with her to avoid being hunted by the government.
The journey of escape was rough and arduous, which fits the artistic conception of this poem.
"The official knows so much about the Book of Songs, what should he name a son if he gives birth to a son?"
Liu Zhaosun hugged Jin Yuji, and the couple rubbed their ears and temples together, feeling tender.
"If you give birth to a son, call him Liu Goudan, Liu Dachui..."
Jin Yuji chuckled.
"It's so boring to have a son. In the past, I was led by Kang Yingqian and others, and even when I entered the bridal chamber, I had to be drugged. From now on, I have to make my own decisions on everything, and I can't let others mess around."
"Didn't Madam say that when I was a child, I envied the children who had parents? In the future, when I have a daughter, I will love her even more. I will always remember this."
"I just said it casually, but the officials took note of it. It's great."
When Jin Yuji heard about Kang Yingqian, she suddenly remembered that the veteran had been sent to Liaodong.
"Isn't it too unkind to have Kang Jianjun follow him for many years and dismiss him once he makes a mistake?"
Liu Zhaosun was moved. Kang Yingqian had always been unkind to Jin Yuji, but he didn't expect his wife to speak for him.
"Madam, I don't know. This is not the first time he has committed this crime. This time he needs to be treated so that he can have a better memory."
Jin Yuji thought for a moment and then said:
"Guardian, where are Brother Lin?"
Guard Lin Yu was sentenced to be beheaded by Ping Liao Hou for killing the guards of Prince Xin's Mansion.
Later, after many people begged for mercy, Liu Zhaosun decided to exempt him from the death penalty and imprisoned him for five years.
"Officer, the palace guards were so domineering and beating the refugees that the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture saw it. Lin Yu came to the rescue without intending to hurt anyone. What's wrong with that?"
Liu Zhaosun's face was gloomy and he said nothing.
Jin Yuji knew her husband's temper and also knew that Kaiyuan's military discipline was strict.
However, I remembered that on the way back from Wendeng that day, Lin Yu waved a mace at Yingzui Port in Weihaiwei, blocking the pursuers alone, and entered and exited the enemy's formation seven times.
He is simply a character like Zhao Yun.
Jin Yuji couldn't help but plead for the guard.
Liu Zhaosun pretended to be wrong:
"I know that he saved you mother and daughter, and I also know how the Xinwang Palace guard died. However, military law is ruthless. Just because he is my personal attendant, you cannot treat it as if it did not happen. Otherwise, how can I convince the public in the future?"
Liu Zhaosun sighed, his eyes a little red.
Jin Yuji looked around and saw no one around, so she lowered her voice and said:
"Official, aren't you going to send Jin Yinghe to North Korea to deal with the Japanese pirates? Why not send Brother Lin there too, because no one there will recognize him."
Liu Zhaosun laughed.
Jin Yuji was stunned.
Liu Zhaosun held her face and said with a smile:
"My wife and I have a good understanding. Don't worry, I have sent him to North Korea a long time ago. I asked him to cooperate with General Jin to investigate the murder of the Kaiyuan businessman, and more."
Liu Zhaosun continued:
"They went to North Korea this time and worked with Xu Xiake to select a suitable port and prepare for the army to land in Japan."
"Landing in Japan?"
Jin Yuji originally thought that her husband was just talking about attacking the Japanese country, but she didn't expect that the war would start so soon.
As a native of Korea, her impression of Japanese pirates was still during the Imjin Rebellion. Those ronin and samurai were all equal to ten, and they were all invincible killers.
Jin Yuji looked worriedly at her husband.
"When I was in Korea, I heard someone say that after Wanli came to Korea, Emperor Shenzong mobilized troops from all over the world to land in Japan, but in the end, for some unknown reason, he gave up. With the current strength of Kaiyuan, can he really defeat Japan?"
Liu Zhaosun gently patted Jin Yuji on the shoulder, treating her as a good brother and said:
"Madam, the strength of the Japanese country is not inferior to that of Houjin, and Tokugawa was the bastard of the year before last. Of course I am not that arrogant. However, although he cannot completely destroy the Japanese pirates, Kaiyuan still has the ability to cut off one of their fingers. As the saying goes, come to Without being disrespectful, if Miyamoto and the Hosokawa family dare to kill my people, I will let them know that there are several ways to write the word "death".
~~~~~~~
July is on fire.
Liu Zhaosun planned to complete the military and political affairs before Yang Qing'er arrived in the capital.
After King Qin entered Beijing, the Kaiyuan Army continued to expand, recruiting trackers who had chosen jobs across the North Canal.
Traffic on the North Canal gradually recovered, and Yuan Chonghuan led the Kaiyuan Army to garrison Jining and be responsible for maintaining the situation in Shandong.
Qi Jin and the training officers were busy every day, training the new recruits.
Due to sufficient military pay, the Kaiyuan Army expanded two more Guards armies in the two months from May to July, namely the Seventh Guards Army and the Eighth Guards Army, with a troop strength of 8,000.
Liu Zhaosun is busy every day.
Assisted the emperor in reviewing memorials, patrolling the camp, inspecting Shen Lian's training of the Coil Guards (similar to the Jinyi Guards), reviewing Japanese intelligence, and formulating a landing plan with Deng Changxiong and Wang Erhu...
Fortunately, Emperor Shenzong's battle plan for the conquest of Japan was still there, and Marquis Pingliao asked Eunuch Du to go to the archives to borrow it for review.
Everything is complicated.
I was busy until early morning every day. When I lay down to rest, the east was already white.
He felt very relieved when he heard the deep snores from Jin Yuji and Liu Yufei.
The next day at Chenshi (five o'clock) I got up again to review the memorial.
There are only two hours left in the day (four hours)
After surviving like this for half a month, the old disease finally relapsed.
On July 30th, when I was reviewing the memorial early in the morning, I felt light-headed and fainted.
When she woke up again, Jin Yuji Lihua was in tears and cried to the note:
"Dizziness, dark eyes, lack of energy, and weak Qi and blood are caused by five types of labor and seven injuries. Liver deficiency results in dizziness, and kidney deficiency results in back pain and weakness. The Marquis of Ping Liao was at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, so he should not indulge in the pleasure of galloping or the entertainment of quilts. And forget the art of protecting yourself... (see note 1)"
Liu Zhaosun suppressed his anger, smiled at her and asked:
"What nonsense? Who said this when my kidneys failed? It's simply slandering the official of the imperial court!"
"The Royal Physician of the Imperial Hospital."
"Nonsense! I'm just too sleepy."
Jin Yuji heard what Liu Zhaosun said and saw that her husband had woken up from sleep and his complexion had recovered well. She asked him where he was hurting, but Liu Zhaosun kept shaking his head.
Jin Yuji burst into tears and smiled:
"Sir, Mr. Wu just listened to Lao Song's first few words and found the lesion for my husband. He is indeed a miracle doctor."
Liu Zhaosun was speechless.
Since the expedition to western Liaoning in February, he suddenly realized that he had not touched a woman for half a year.
Can kidney deficiency be caused by this?
He had heard from Wei Zhongxian that the Capital Hospital was a mixed bag, with everyone there.
Otherwise, absurd things like the red pill case would not have happened.
He expected that Old Songtou must be intimidated by the name of Taiyuan Hospital.
"If you want to defraud money from the Taishi Mansion, there is no way."
Thinking of this, Marquis Pingliao turned around and picked up the walnut clip from the table.
He was going to let this quack know what severe kidney failure meant.
Jin Yuji pursed her lips and smiled.
"The Marquis of Ping Liao has such great official power. Mr. Wu just said a few words, why should he punish me? I am not here during this period, and the officials have trouble sleeping in the spring. Is it because they sing and sing every night, so it is in vain?"
Liu Zhaosun quickly explained:
"No. What kind of official authority? This person has no control over his words, and he can talk about things he shouldn't. It's good now. It won't be long before the entire capital knows that I have kidney deficiency."
He was indignant:
"You call him a quack, but you still praise him. I haven't been with women for more than half a year, so how can I have kidney deficiency? This quack doctor also uses words and sentences to humiliate me. He must be treated."
Jin Yuji put away her smile and quickly advised:
"That's not okay. I have good intentions. I heard Old Songtou say that Mr. Wu was a civil servant before, but later he hated the officialdom and abandoned his official position to become a doctor. His medical skills are so good that even Old Songtou praised him."
"Abandon your official position and become a doctor?"
Liu Zhaosun frowned and said:
"What's his name?"
Jin Yuji recalled it for a while, stroking her hands and smiling.
"Wu Youke."
I didn’t expect to meet celebrities all the time after traveling through time.
In his previous life, Liu Zhaosun had watched The Great Tribulation of the Ming Dynasty starring Teacher Yuanzheng, and he had a profound memory of Wu Youke, a historical figure.
If it were really Wu Youke, it would be understandable.
Historical records record that Wu Youke had a "good temperament and was unconventional", so he was able to say in front of everyone that Ping Liaohou had kidney deficiency.
"That's all."
Liu Zhaosun waved his hand:
"There is no need to let him suffer from kidney failure this time. He is summoned here to treat me!"
Jin Yuji laughed.
When Liu Zhaosun saw her swaying waist, he coughed slightly and signaled Jin Yuji to pay attention to her appearance.
He shouted outside, and Shen Lian walked in immediately with two guards.
Shen Lian looked calm, and he didn't know if he heard what he just said.
Marquis Pingliao couldn't hide his embarrassment and said to him:
"Shen Lian, please go to the palace and ask Eunuch Du to invite Dr. Wu to come to the house to check on me."
Shen Lian turned and left.
Liu Zhaosun stopped him and warned:
"Borrow Yang Jinglue's sedan chair and don't let outsiders see it. When I go to the palace, I will say that I just happened to be cold..."
Suddenly I remembered the advertisement for a certain rehmannia pill I had seen, and I made up a line in my mind:
"Take the Original Shenbao Tablets. If it's good for him, it's good for me too."
On the same day, Wu Youke came from the imperial city.
After much investigation, Dr. Wu overturned yesterday's diagnosis and publicly apologized to Marquis Ping Liao.
Ping Liaohou's dizziness was not due to kidney deficiency, nor was it due to "addicting to women or excessive sexual intercourse."
Wu Youke prescribed the decoction and did not forget to warn him before leaving:
"Taifu Liu worked hard at night and worked hard to strengthen his energy and liver. He did not dare to have a good meal, which made his body restless. The decoction and medicine are just for conditioning. From now on, he must get up early and lie down at night to nourish his energy and calm his mind. He should not work too hard."
After everyone dispersed, only Liu Zhaosun and Jin Yuji's mother and son remained in the room.
Marquis Ping Liao is resting today. He has put down all ordinary government affairs and will not ask any questions.
Unknowingly, it was already midnight, and Jin Yuji called for Shaoyao and asked the maid to take Liu Yufei to the courtyard to play with a rattle.
She looked up and saw that her husband was still frowning at a map, so she walked up, next to Liu Zhaosun, with affectionate eyes:
"Husband, the war in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning is over, what else do you want?"
Liu Zhaosun raised his eyebrows and replied casually:
"I wonder where Lin Yu and the others are now? Have they arrived in Seoul? I'm wondering where is the most suitable place for the fleet to land in Japan..."
Liu Zhaosun concentrated on the Incheon, Tsushima, and Ryukyu areas, calculating how many troops needed to be dispatched to punish Japan.
Suddenly, I smelled a strange fragrance in the house, which made my heart flutter.
When she looked up, all that was left of Jin Yuji was her pink inner waist, her eyes were like water, and her water snake waist was particularly enchanting.
Seeing this graceful figure, Liu Zhaosun stayed on the spot and swallowed his saliva.
Jin Yujiman said:
"Is the official really weak?"
Shaoyao was still teasing his daughter with a rattle in the garden. Liu Zhaosun hugged his beloved wife into his arms and said with a smile:
"Whether it is empty or not, Madam will know after checking it."
