Volume 2, Chapter 92: Establishing a Prince
After three months of elimination, in the end, only six children, Sanya, Silang, Erhu, eldest sister Dayun's youngest daughter Chen Yueyue, tall and strong second grandson Gao Liugen, and Zhou Laicai's nephew Zhou Lidong, persisted.
Ling Yue has no interest in medical skills, Wu Lang is still young and has no idea, and his current ideal is to take the first prize.
Shangguan Ruoli didn't force Ling Yue and Wu Lang to learn anything. They didn't have the heavy burden of princesses and princes, so they could live a more relaxed life. They could just learn to read and study with the children in the village.
For the six children who persisted, she set strict requirements and began to teach systematically. The oldest, Zhou Lidong, was eleven years old, and the youngest, Erhu, was eight years old. They are all children and are very malleable.
Shangguan Ruoli and Bai Qingqing opened a medical school and have run a hospital for so many years. They have a systematic and excellent experience in teaching students. Several children worked steadily and made rapid progress.
At the end of October, Sun gave birth to a son, the sixth, nicknamed Liulang.
Mrs. Sun became the second daughter-in-law to give birth to two sons after her elder sister-in-law. She was more confident. She needed to eat and drink during the confinement period, and she even asked Guan Ruoli to take supplements.
Mrs. Liu curled her lips and said sourly: "When I gave birth to Sanlang, I only stayed in bed for five days before going to work in the fields. How could I have such a blessing as confinement?"
Fourth brother and sister, you were injured when you gave birth to Wulang, and you only lay down for ten days! You are inferior to others when you give birth to a son!"
Shangguan Ruoli was too lazy to pay attention to her instigation, so he pushed it to Mrs. Qian. Mrs. Qian could make Mr. Sun honest for a few days by scolding her through the window.
Whenever she was looking for trouble, Mrs. Qian would scold Dong Youyin. Dong Youyin was face-loving, inferior and self-respecting. After being scolded by the old lady, she went into the house and beat Mr. Sun so hard that Mr. Sun didn't dare to mess with her anymore.
In November, Dongming Ziyu received news from Chu Xing that the dying old emperor was able to attend the morning court. He also commended King Chen for his contribution to the medicine and made him the crown prince.
Before Rong Chuan went to Beijing, he paid a visit to Dongzhou's house, secretly brought the prince's generous reward, and followed up with Guan Ruoli to ask for a prescription for Yuan Bao Dan.
Only then did Shangguan Ruoli realize that the old emperor's condition improved because of the medicine she gave Rong Chuan.
The reason why her medicine is so effective is because of the spiritual spring water and the medicinal materials grown in the spiritual fields. The effect of using ordinary medicinal materials is a little less good, but the emperor has already recovered, and it can be strengthened by taking it.
Rong Chuan got the prescription, his face turned red, and he said in embarrassment: "Uncle, aunt, do you think we are asking too much?"
Shangguan Ruoli really doesn't care about a prescription, he said calmly and honestly: "It's just a prescription. It can help more people, which is a good thing."
Rong Chuan felt ashamed and said: "My aunt is so benevolent and righteous, Rong Chuan is very grateful. I should have asked Grandpa Huang for merit, but Grandpa Huang still favored the Taoist Priest, indulged in alchemy, and took pills every day."
My father is afraid that Grandpa Huang will be harmed by taking the elixir. If something goes wrong, it will harm you. After all, you have no power and no reputation, so you are the best person to take the blame. Therefore, I will keep this matter secret for the time being. One day, I will definitely
He will be heavily rewarded."
The implication is that after he ascends the throne, he will reward them generously.
Dongming Ziyu said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for protecting me. This prescription is the best way to make the Taiyuan Hospital clear."
He was born in a royal family and was most aware of the dangers involved. When the emperor dies, if someone is not good, the imperial doctor will have to be buried with him, not to mention medicine with no provenance?
Rongchuan didn't expect Dongming Ziyu to know the twists and turns involved. He was surprised and respected, "My father has written a letter to inform Liulin County Magistrate to give you an eighth-grade official position, so that you can interact with the officials in the mine."
.”
Being an official in this situation is tantamount to being a job-selected official, and they belong to technical professionals. Without great contribution, it is difficult to get promoted.
Dongming Ziyu declined and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. I cannot accept this position."
Rong Chuan was surprised, "Why?"
Dongming Ziyu said: "I want to take part in next year's Tongsheng Examination and take the Imperial Examination."
Rong Chuan was overjoyed, "This is great! That way I can advance higher in the officialdom!"
Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said, "You do believe him."
Rong Chuan said firmly: "I just believe in uncle! In my mind, uncle is an omnipotent person."
Dongming Ziyu smiled and said: "I don't dare to take it!"
Rong Chuan had not seen Ling Yue and Wu Lang when he arrived, so he asked: "Where are Ling Yue and Wu Lang?"
Shangguan Ruoli said: "I went to help collect cabbages and radishes in the vegetable field behind."
"Then I'll join in the fun!" Rong Chuan stood up and left.
Shangguan Ruoli waited for him to go far away, then asked Dongming Ziyu: "What does King Chen mean? He has a bomb in his hand. He can just wait for the emperor's death and rely on force to ascend to the throne. Why should he save the old emperor?"
Dongming Ziyu said thoughtfully: "Why don't you think it's a father-son relationship?"
Shangguan Ruoli rolled his eyes at him and said: "There are no fathers and sons in the royal family. How many emperors are as eager as you to give the throne to a son? The old emperor is obsessed with alchemy and has been reluctant to establish a prince. Doesn't he just want to live forever and sit on the supreme throne forever?
Location?
If you want to sit on the throne forever, your grandchildren will be your competitors. He drove his sons to fiefdoms and was not allowed to enter the capital without an edict. Obviously, he has no father-son affection."
Dongming Ziyu shrugged and said: "Who knows what King Chen is thinking. Maybe he wants to be orthodox and have a just name. Maybe he wants the reputation of being pure and filial. Maybe it is a deal between father and son, monarch and ministers. Of course, it is not ruled out.
The love between father and son is deep.”
Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go cook and let the children gather for a dinner."
Rongchuan knew that the vegetable field was at the foot of the mountain, so he passed through Dongzhou's house and headed towards the back door.
The stone house has a neatly fenced yard, and bunches of red peppers, dried radishes, dried sweet potatoes, and dried eggplants hang under the eaves. There are many dried wild fruits, wild vegetables, and herbs hanging in the open space of the yard. The fence walls are covered with lentils.
, loofah vine, with purple and yellow flowers.
The old man and woman who were cleaning the yard at home saw Rong Chuan and said hello through the fence: "The second young master is back!"
"Why don't you come and sit at the Second Young Master's house?"
"I have some pecans that Second Young Master likes to eat. I will bring them to you when I leave!"
Rong Chuan smiled and said hello, feeling warm in his heart and feeling like he was back home. Think about it, although the days with these people were difficult, they were the easiest days he had ever lived since he could remember.
When I walked out of the back door, I saw many people busy in the vegetable field at the foot of the mountain.
But Ling Yue was not collecting vegetables, but was holding an easel on the ground, drawing with a pen in her hand, surrounded by several little ones with runny noses.
Ling Yue had two buns on her head and was wearing blue floral clothes with a foundation. It was the first time he had seen that style. It looked like a man's short brown, but it fit more neatly than the short brown and looked better.
In fact, this was made by Shangguan Ruoli based on the service of the Republic of China. It saves cloth and looks good.
Rong Chuan couldn't help but smile and walked over quickly.
