The locusts are overwhelming, and no matter where they go, the ground is still bare. What's more, droughts can't move, but locusts have wings. This huge group of small bugs, which eat wherever they go, are absolutely destructive to agriculture in this era, and they have almost no means. After hesitating for a moment, Huang Qiong still wrote on the brochure some local methods to prevent the locust plague.
But after putting down the book, Huang Qiong couldn't help but think of Li Jiqian's unruly face at the great meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Can such a person who is so rebellious and even privately obsessed with restoring the so-called glory of the Dangxiang people really be willing to stay under others for a long time? At this moment, Huang Qiong had a vague feeling in his heart that this person would be the one who would cause chaos in the northwest in the future.
Although the only things I can grasp at the moment are the excerpts and newspapers from various places. But even from the few available information, Huang Qiong still made a judgment. Even if the old man tried his best, the disaster relief in the northwest was still a drop in the bucket, and could even be said to be quite ineffective. What if this person takes advantage of the current drought situation in the northwest before it can be alleviated, and takes advantage of the situation to start an army and cause chaos?
Even since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the dynasty has repeatedly divided and disintegrated the Dangxiang tribes in the northwest, and recruited strong Dangxiang men to fight in the Northern Liao Dynasty. But in the past ten years or so of peace, the vitality of the northwest party groups has somewhat recovered. In addition to the Uighur and Tubo tribes gathered in the northwest, if this person takes the opportunity to cause chaos, the current situation in the northwest will inevitably become a prairie fire.
Even in the past hundred years or so, due to the various methods and repeated changes adopted by the court, the Dangxiang tribes have gradually transformed from nomadic to semi-agricultural. But has the martial spirit in the blood of their ancestors really been wiped out? Even with such a heavy tax, the horse output of the northwest Dangxiang tribes is still not low. It can be seen that these Dangxiang people may not really surrender.
Although under the coordination of Fan Jian, the Fan family has agreed to use the Fan family's caravan as their spy in the northwest, Huang Qiong is still a little worried. This is not because Huang Qiong is worried about Fan Jian, but because he is worried about the Fan family. Because he knew that the Fan family would honor the agreement with him before the fundamental interests of the Fan family were involved. But the Fan family has very important interests in the northwest.
Once his request threatens the interests of the Fan family, the Fan family will reject him immediately. It can even be said that it would be nice not to add insult to injury. Huang Qiong even knew that if it weren't for the Fan family's spy in the court, he would have already informed the Fan family of the situation on the day of the court meeting. Even though it was just such a request, it was not really a request. Even the head of the Fan family might not agree to it.
At this time, the northwest must not be chaotic under any circumstances. If there is really any change in Tuoba Jiqian, this person must get rid of him as soon as possible, and the sooner the better. But in his own hands, if the Fan family didn't come forward, they would still be facing a situation where no one would be available. The North and South Zhenfusi, which has always been tightly held in the hands of the old man, cannot be interfered with by himself.
Just when Huang Qiong was concentrating on thinking about what situation the northwest would face. Doctor Li came uninvited. After taking Huang Qiong's pulse and applying the needle again, he said: "Your Majesty, the treatment yesterday was still effective. The internal energy on your meridians is now It has basically disappeared. However, it will take three more visits before your meridians can be cured."
"As for the injuries to the internal organs, you still need to take medicine for two days. I will give you an injection tomorrow, and there will basically be no problem. Your Majesty, this injury can be said to be a blessing in disguise. It is attached to your meridians. If the yang energy in the body can be absorbed by the prince and used for his own use, it will only be good for the prince's future cultivation and not harmful. Moreover, the prince only needs to practice according to this method."
"Not only will it be of great benefit to my own cultivation, but in the future, Xiongfeng will also be better in bed. However, the prince still needs to find some lovely wives and concubines. But although the prince's dragon body is no longer in serious condition, , but I still have something to say. I also know that because of my humble position, the prince may not really listen, but I think I still have to say it."
"Since the prince cares about the people of the world, he should take care of his health and never go into danger. There are no masters in the palace guards now. From what I see, it is better for you to bring Liu Hu back. This time, it is considered a good thing. You are relatively lucky. Your injuries are mainly on your meridians, and the injuries to your internal organs are not serious. I happen to have a treatment method, and Mrs. Duan is also very helpful."
"But next time, you may not be so lucky. I also know that you are highly skilled, but no matter what, a good tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves. You are a noble person, and it will not work without a reliable person to protect you. Especially especially In some things, some people have no bottom line. As long as they think you are blocking their way, they can use any despicable means."
Doctor Li, who did not know the cause of Huang Qiong's injury, thought that the reason for his injury yesterday was an assassination. As for the people in the mansion, apart from Huang Qiong's wives and two confidants, Dr. Li also knew that Huang Qiong had some skills. But Dr. Li didn't know how high Huang Qiong's kung fu was. For Huang Qiong's safety, he tried to persuade him to transfer Liu Hu back.
In fact, Huang Qiong has never transferred Liu Hu back, not just because of his current relationship with Wu Ziyu. But in Zhengzhou, Su Jin's safety really depends on him. Huang Qiong knew how many people he had offended in the aftermath of the incident in Zhengzhou. Those people have nothing to do with themselves, but there are still ways to make Su Jin and Jian Yong, their two actual executors, disappear.
He has now returned to the capital. If he gets rid of the two executors he left in Zhengzhou. The newly replaced officials may not have as hard necks as Su Jin, and they may not have the courage to withstand pressure from all sides. There was nothing he could do about leaving Liu Hu to protect them. This point has been mentioned more than once in Su Jin's secret letters to him since he left Zhengzhou.
He and Jian Yong are now facing pressure from all sides, even from officials around them. Although the property of Prince Jing's Mansion has been confiscated, all the fields of Prince Jing's Mansion that can be found to their original owners have been returned. But what is left, the ownerless fields, still become fat in the eyes of various forces. With Su Jin's strong command, the newcomers might not dare to offend those people.
Liu Hu, at least it's not time to be transferred back yet. Regarding Doctor Li's worries, Huang Qiong knew that he was doing it for her own good, so she just smiled and nodded. Seeing Huang Qiong, he didn't listen to what he said. Doctor Li, who had no idea about his current relationship with Liu Hu's wife, was completely unaware. He could only shake his head helplessly and went down to make some medicine for Huang Qiong.
He is just a doctor, there are some things that he cannot control. After Doctor Li left, looking at his back, Huang Qiong also smiled helplessly. In the end, I focused more on the fold. By the time these notes on the desk were approved, it was almost dinner time. After thinking about it, Huang Qiong went to He Yao's place for dinner.
When I arrived at He Yao's place, I saw that He Yao's belly was already so big that it was scary. There was no maid or mother-in-law to follow, so it was very difficult to walk. Ever since He Yao's delivery date was approaching, Huang Qiong's heart had been hanging on her heart. It's just that there is no color ultrasound or other testing methods in this era. Although Huang Qiong has always wondered whether He Yao is pregnant with multiples, no one has given an accurate answer.
Doctor Li, who checked He Yao's pulse many times, never said yes or no. Huang Qiong didn't care whether multiple births were generally considered auspicious in this era. What he cares about is whether He Yao will endanger herself when she gives birth in the future. Women in this era are in the most danger before and after childbirth. One is dangerous, let alone several.
Especially He Yao, not only his hands and feet are a little swollen, but his face is also swollen, which aggravates his worries. But at this time, Huang Qiong should not only be as prepared as possible, but also have more experienced and stable people. Apart from my mother-in-law, there is no other way. The most that can be done is to spend as much time as possible to spend more time with He Yao, who is about to become a mother.
He looked at Huang Qiong who was stroking his belly with a worried look on his face. He Yao just quietly leaned her head against her husband, feeling the rare warmth. After a long time, she said with a motherly love on her face: "In recent days, the little ones here have become more and more active, and they must be anxious to come out and meet their biological father. Master, I always feel that there are not just one in there, but many. Only one foot is moving.”
Hearing He Yao's words, Huang Qiong gently held the beauty in his arms and said, "No matter how many there are, I will give them a good beating after they are born. Who asked them to let their mother suffer?" You have committed so many sins. Look at your swollen hands and feet, I almost hate myself. Fortunately, you didn't vomit after eating like Sister Jin, otherwise I would rather not have them."
Before Huang Qiong finished speaking, He Yao directly covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense. I am willing to give birth to your child. Besides, that mother is not like this. Compared with Sister Duan, she almost never I've never had morning sickness, which is pretty good. But even if they can torment his mother, can they still be as good at tormenting her mother as their father?
Having said this, He Yao lowered her head and gently touched her belly with her hands. She looked a little sad and even said with tears: "I heard that their unscrupulous father ignored his wife who was about to give birth and the child who was about to be born last night. , took the risk to visit Guilin’s Prince’s Courtyard at night. He was slapped by someone else, but nothing happened.”
"If their Aunt Duan hadn't responded promptly and resorted to every possible means to rescue their unscrupulous father who never knew how much he had worried about his wife and children. They would have almost died before they were even born. There is no father anymore. I am the wife, and there is also the mother of his child. Now I really don’t know who can torment their mother more, him or his father."
After getting pregnant, He Yao, who was prone to being sentimental as most pregnant women, couldn't help but feel a little sad when she mentioned what happened last night. Seeing He Yao who was crying a little, Huang Qiong knew that what happened last night could not be hidden from her. She quickly carefully hugged He Yao into her arms and wanted to kiss and comfort the beauty who was worried about him.
This time He Yao, who had almost never refused any of his requests, stubbornly turned her face away to avoid the kiss that was about to fall on her face. Huang Qiong knew that He Yao was very angry now, and not just ordinary. Helpless Huang Qiong could only admit her mistake again and again. He also slapped his chest loudly to ensure that a similar situation would never happen again in the future.
But regardless of Huang Qiong's oaths and guarantees, He Yao just leaned against his chest quietly without speaking. It wasn't until Huang Qiong felt that he was at his wits' end that He Yao put his hand on her belly, sighed quietly and said, "I know, I must have said everything about Sister Duan and Hanyan yesterday. .So, I don’t want to say anything more.”
"I just ask you, no matter what time, remember that you are going to be a father soon. When you make every decision in the future, especially when you make such a risky move, even if you don't consider us sisters, We also need to think more about our children.”
