Four hundred and thirty-eight chapters Tang Ding is back
The army returned to the court in victory, which was a major event that caused a sensation in the court.
Lao Zhu established the Ming Dynasty and followed the Tang Dynasty system, so military merit is also the most important. If you want to become a marquis and become a prime minister, the best shortcut is to go into battle and kill the enemy. Otherwise, you have to rely on serving as an official to become a marquis, and you don’t know how much merit you have to achieve.
, wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse pass.
Therefore, as the news of the Northern Expeditionary Army's return to the court spread, the imperial court began to get busy early. Especially the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, which are their busiest times now. The Ministry of War needs to approve military merits, and the Ministry of Rites needs to formulate etiquette for the return of the army.
wait.
But none of this has anything to do with Han Du. Whether it is the Baobao Lifting Division or the Jiaofang Division, they have nothing to do with the military affairs. Therefore, Han Du can still continue to live freely in the Jiaofang Division.
However, on the day to welcome Xu Da, Duke of Wei, back to the capital, Lao Zhu led hundreds of officials out of the city thirty miles to greet him. Han Du could not help but follow the officials to greet Xu Da.
Han Du stood in the crowd and saw Xu Dafei dismounted and bowed to Lao Zhu from a distance. Then Lao Zhu quickly helped Xu Da up. The two were like brothers in life and death, hugging each other and patting each other hard.
Then the two of them separated. Lao Zhu took Xu Da's hand and pulled him onto the Yuhu. He also summoned King Zhu Di of Yan to drive over and drove towards the capital in the Yuhu.
The officials and the generals of the Northern Expedition slowly gathered together and followed Yu Hu.
Han Du raised his head and looked at the sky. Fortunately, the sun was not shining brightly. Today at nine o'clock, Baiguan was taken out of the city and left for thirty miles. He was so hungry that he had not eaten even a drop of rice.
Han Du himself was fine. He was young and hungry and had nothing to do with it. But there were a few elderly officials, and Han Du's faces turned green with hunger when he saw them.
Just when Han Du was thinking randomly among the officials, he felt something strange. When he looked up, he saw Tang He sitting on the horse in front, looking back at him.
Han Du showed a smile on his face and nodded, and Tang He turned his head away.
Han Du understood what Tang He meant and wanted to go and get together with him by himself.
The ceremony for the entire army to return to the court took a whole day to be completed.
Han Du worked hard all day and was so hungry that he didn't even bother to look for soup. When he got home, he devoured two large bowls of rice, then fell on the bed and fell asleep.
He slept until about three o'clock in the morning before Han Du got up, washed his face, and slowly had breakfast.
I arrived at Duke Xinguo's Mansion in a hurry, and I was spotted by the housekeeper of Duke Xinguo's Mansion before I even entered.
When the housekeeper saw Han Du, he was as happy as seeing the young master in the mansion. He was happier than seeing his own son. "Young Master Han is here, please come in quickly."
Han Du bowed his hands and said, "Thank you. May I ask if Lord Xin has some free time now?"
"Yes, yes, the young master was still talking about the young master just now. Young Master, please go quickly."
Han Du, led by the housekeeper, went all the way to the lobby of Duke Xinguo's Mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tang He and Tang Ding sitting inside eating.
Different from the silken soup and steamed buns that Han Du had just eaten, Tanghe also had silken soup on the table, but there were also charcoal-grilled oysters and scallops, as well as beef, mutton and fish. Next to the father and son, each had a jar of immortals.
drunk.
Han Du couldn't help but sigh. They had to eat so much meat and fish early in the morning and drink strong alcohol. Even if they both had steel intestines and iron stomachs, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand such a torment.
"Xinguo Gong, you should mainly eat light food in the morning. That is the way to maintain your health. You are eating a lot of fish and meat this early in the morning..." Seeing that he had said so much, Tang He just raised his head.
He glared at himself and then immersed himself in eating and drinking.
"Have you eaten? If not, eat together."
Well, my words have fallen on deaf ears again.
Han Du no longer struggled with this issue. Anyway, he knew that no matter how much he talked, Tang He would not listen to him, so he was too lazy to bother. He asked Tang Ding: "Isn't Brother Tang Ding going to Yunnan with the army? Why?
Will you come back?"
When Tang Ding saw Han Du coming in, he stopped to use his bowl and chopsticks. Now when he heard Han Du's question, he stood up and bowed to Han Du, "Ding thanks Brother Han for saving his life."
"What did you say? When did I save your life?" Han Du quickly stepped forward and tried to lift Tang Ding from the ground.
But after all, Tang Ding was also a military commander and his foothold was stable. How could Han Du, a weak scholar, be able to move him?
After pulling twice, the Tang cauldron didn't move at all. Han Du had no choice but to turn to Tang He and ask for help.
Unexpectedly, Tang He wiped his mouth and said, "Just let him worship. If he didn't have you this time, he would really die in Yunnan."
Han Du had no choice but to let go and let Tang Ding get up after bowing.
"What on earth is going on?"
Obviously he had received Tang He's signal to write to the Duke's Mansion, but who would have thought that such a scene would happen as soon as he arrived, which made Han Du confused.
Tang Ding glanced at Tang He, then smiled and said to Han Du: "Brother Han, have you forgotten what you told Yongchang Hou when he went to war?"
What did I tell Lan Yu to do when he went to war? Because Han Du told Lan Yu so many things at that time, he didn't even know which one Tang Ding was talking about.
Tang Ding did not wait for Han Du to recall, and said directly: "Didn't Brother Han tell Yongchang to pay attention to miasma and dysentery when he enters Yunnan? And he also gave him a prescription?"
A prescription for treating dysentery? Han Du remembered what it was.
"That's true, but what does it have to do with you?"
Tang Ding sighed and continued: "The army entered Yunnan, and the journey was smooth. The remaining forces were indifferent. However, not long after entering Yunnan, I contracted dysentery for some reason. The doctors accompanying me were helpless, and even the well-known local doctors
, can't cure my disease. Just when I thought I was definitely doomed this time, Yongchang Hou heard the news and sent someone to bring the prescription."
"The doctor, suspiciously, crushed up the mugwort and soaked it in wine. I clearly remember that when they fed me the wine, they looked at me like they were treating a dead horse like a living horse."
"Haha, I didn't expect that after I drank a bowl of strong wine, I miraculously recovered after sweating profusely. Brother Han, you don't know, those doctors couldn't believe their eyes after I recovered.
. He muttered about kings, ministers, and envoys, and said that he had never heard of medicines that did not need to be boiled, but were soaked in strong wine."
Han Du smiled and thought, Artemisia annua is so magical. If it is boiled in water, Artemisia annua will not have any effect at all, because the active ingredients in it will be completely destroyed by high temperatures, and these active ingredients will not
It is soluble in water, so it cannot be extracted by simply crushing it. Only by soaking in spirits can these active ingredients be dissolved in the alcohol and take effect after being taken.
After hearing what was going on, Han Du felt that he should not have received Tang Ding's gift just now. He said helplessly: "It's just a prescription, but I can't afford to save my life."
