"If Hou Mo Chenli was still alive, I might have suffered less," Zhao Guangyi said helplessly, then sighed and shook his head;
This Hou Mochen used Miaojiang Gu to treat Zhao Guangyi's arrow wound, and he was even close to being cured for a time, but later he was beheaded for committing a crime.
"Hou Mochen" is his surname, and his name is "Utilization". He is a Sinicized Xianbei tribesman who lived in Bashu in his early years. When he was very young, he learned the art of Gu and illusion from the Miao border. In the early years of the Taiping and the founding of the People's Republic of China, he made a living selling medicine in the capital, and often played "poison" to confuse the world.
In the fourth year of Taiping and Xingguo's reign, Zhao Guangyi personally conquered Yanyun and was defeated at Gaoliang River. Zhao Guangyi was shot with two arrows by Brother Yelvxiu when he was escaping;
After returning to China, Zhao Guangyi consulted famous doctors but could not cure him. Zhao Guangyi was very angry and exiled more than a dozen imperial doctors. People in the imperial hospital were panicked, but there was nothing they could do about Zhao Guangyi's arrow wound;
It was not until the Privy Councilor Chen Congxin recommended Hou Mo Chenliang to Zhao Guangyi that his arrow wound improved.
Hou Mochen made good use of Gu to treat diseases. He used Gu to clean up the rotten flesh and blood stasis of Zhao Guangyi's arrow wound, and applied Miao herbal medicine to make Zhao Guangyi's arrow wound slowly improve;
Zhao Guangyi was very pleased with Long Yan and rewarded him with numerous gold and silk products on the spot, and also awarded him an upright official.
Hou Mochen, who "worked as a farmer in the morning and ascended to the emperor's hall in the evening", could not adapt to this kind of honor and favor for a while. Later, Zhao Guangyi kept calling him into the palace to treat illnesses and provide medicine, and gradually gained the emperor's favor. His official position also rose with the tide, and he has been a high-ranking official such as governor and regimental envoy.
After that, Hou Mo Chenliang became very popular and became the target of everyone's enthusiasm. Some ministers who usually looked down on him began to call him brothers.
He began to become arrogant and domineering, often doing illegal things. Even his servants killed people in the street for trivial matters, and the soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion did not dare to arrest them according to law;
The imperial admonishers repeatedly impeached him, but Emperor Zhao Guangyi protected him and no one could do anything to him.
Zhao Guangyi is not a foolish king. He is also aware of some of the illegal things Hou Mochen has done.
But compared with his own illness, the evil deeds Hou Mochen had done were all trivial. If he were arrested or thrown into prison, who would treat him?
But Hou Mochenliang still met his nemesis---Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu paid homage to the prime minister twice in his early years and was dismissed twice. After paying homage to the prime minister for the third time in his later years, when he was over 70 years old, he knew that his time was running out. He was determined to rectify the government, punish rape and eradicate evil, and leave a lasting legacy for the Song Dynasty. The next thing is bright and clear.
Hou Mochenli, who was arrogant and lawless in Kaifeng, became the target of his surgery.
Although Hou Mo Chenli is also an old man, compared with Zhao Pu, he seems much more immature.
Zhao Pulian could easily formulate the national laws and regulations, institutional framework, and development direction of the Song Dynasty. It was no problem to deal with a sycophant who was favored by the emperor.
Zhao Pu used some tricks to collect evidence of his illegality and reported it to Zhao Guangyi. The emperor exonerated him as always, but Zhao Pu always insisted on not retreating and united with the prince to put pressure on the emperor.
Zhao Guangyi still refused to punish Hou Mochen, so Zhao Pu started to argue with the emperor in the court. Zhao Guangyi was speechless and could not argue, so he roared at Zhao Pu: "How can the Lord of ten thousand chariots not protect one person?"
Zhao Pu was unmoved, and he collected illegal evidence that could lead to Hou Mochen's death. Hou Mochen used many disrespectful words when he wrote to others, and there were many things in the letter about the imperial palace. Secret things.
When Zhao Guangyi learned about it, he was furious and ordered someone to pass the decree "Give death to the marquis Mo Chen to make use of".
After being angry, Zhao Guangyi came to his senses and regretted his decision. He sent someone to pass the decree "pardon Hou Mochen for using him".
However, the envoy who was delivering the message fell into a quagmire while riding on his horse. He finally got out of the quagmire and tried to find a way to change horses before chasing after him, but it was already too late.
By the time he caught up with the envoy in front of him, Hou Mochenli had already been executed. Zhao Guangyi could only look up to the sky and sigh.
Now Zhao Pu has died of illness, and Hou Mochen has also been sentenced to death. He has gone forever, and he is the only one left who is still suffering from the pain.
Nowadays, the internal and external situation is unstable, coupled with the torture of old diseases, Zhao Guangyi feels that he has suddenly aged many years.
After Wang Jien listened to the emperor's sigh, he hurriedly said to Zhao Guangyi: "Guan family, the envoy sent to Miaojiang to search for the Gu Master some time ago sent news, saying that a Miaojiang Gu Master has been found and is coming to the capital. It is estimated that Then we can reach Bianjing in a few days."
After Hou Mo Chenli's death, Zhao Guangyi also secretly sent people to seek medical treatment in Miao territory. However, due to the miasma in Miao territory and the sparse human presence, it was not until recent days that the Miao territory Gu master was found. Zhao Guangyi ordered people to prepare generous gifts. Go ahead and give the envoy a death order. Once you find a Miao Gu Master, please come to the capital immediately.
Zhao Guangyi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, raised his head and said happily: "Seriously? Have you really found a Miao doctor? If this Miao doctor can really cure my old injury, then during the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, I can go to Jinmingchi for a military parade. .”
"Officials, the news from the "Tianling Division" should be correct. Yuwen Tuo's ability to do things can still reassure the officials." Wang Jien stepped forward and bowed. Seeing the emperor so happy, he was also very excited.
This "Tianling Division" is an independent department of the Front Division of the Great Song Dynasty. It takes orders directly from the emperor, and its personnel are mostly composed of the best of the various classes of the Front Division.
All of them are highly skilled in martial arts and loyal, especially Yuwen Tuo, the capital of the "Tianling Division", who is famous throughout Bianjing City.
Yuwen Tuo is good at making an iron rope. The chain is as thick as a thumb, about one foot long and weighs more than fifty kilograms. When he dances, there is a sound of tigers roaring and dragons roaring. His move "Iron Chain Crossing the River" is even rarer and he is known as "Iron Chain Across the River" by people in the world. "Lock the devil".
Zhao Guangyi relied heavily on him, and would usually teach Yuwen Tuo to do many things that were not easy for outsiders to know, and Yuwen Tuo had never let Zhao Guangyi down.
The Song Dynasty would hold a navy review ceremony at Jinming Pool every Dragon Boat Festival to show off the power of the Song Dynasty navy. Emperor Zhao Guangyi would move to Jinming Pool every time to watch the navy performance.
At that time, Jinmingchi will also be open to ordinary people in Bianjing. It will be crowded with people and lively. There will be various entertainment activities such as vendors setting up stalls, variety performances, literati and poetry gatherings, etc., which will be a joy for the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty. Important holidays.
This year, as the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, Zhao Guangyi's old injury relapsed. He was in so much pain that he needed help when walking. The palace doctors' successive diagnoses and treatments were ineffective. Zhao Guangyi originally planned to give up the usual Jinmingchi military parade.
But the Jinmingchi Military Parade was no longer just a grand event that he wanted to go to, but became a grand event that brought stability and prosperity to the Song Dynasty, stabilized people's hearts, and brought joy to both the king and the people.
But he was also worried that the news of his illness would cause panic and groundless speculation inside and outside the country, and lead to other unnecessary incidents, so he was very troubled.
After learning that I had found a Miao doctor from southern Xinjiang, I was relieved.
