Shang Mujing was lying on the bed, holding Shang Yuchen's hand feebly with one hand, his eyes filled with expectation and fear.
Looking at him like a child, Shang Yuchen patted his hand: "Don't be afraid, the third brother is here to accompany you. Until you get better, he will never leave."
"Okay!" Shang Mujing smiled with satisfaction.
Doctors are kind-hearted and have no distracting thoughts.
Su Zhen flipped it over and a pair of scissors appeared out of thin air. She cut the gauze wrapped around Shang Mujing's body.
The wound oozed blood again, staining the gauze red, and the flesh and blood stuck to the gauze. Although Su Zhen was very careful, the pain of separation still made him frown, but he gritted his teeth without making a sound.
Shangyu Chen looked on, a little unbearable.
Within a moment, Su Zhen took off the gauze, revealing Shang Mujing's miserable body. The scars were deep enough to see the bones, criss-crossing them.
Turning the palm of his hand, another cloth bag appeared out of thin air. He quickly took out several silver needles and inserted them into various important acupuncture points, causing Shang Mujing to temporarily lose his sense of pain.
The injuries on his body were not fatal. Only the broken meridians and ribs were more serious, and a bone in the chest was also dislocated. Su Zhen carefully connected all the bones and reset them, and then used the silver needle that had been roasted by the flames to thread the needle and thread to remove him.
The wounds on the body were sutured one by one.
Her movements were very skillful. Xiao Chuhong raised his eyebrows, obviously not knowing that Su Zhen was also good at medical skills. After all, Su Zhen always took pills directly every time she was injured.
After sewing up all the wounds, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured some white powder out of it, and sprinkled it on his wound. The wound stopped bleeding and even showed signs of improvement.
Although he was not cured directly, at least Shang Mujing's life was saved.
He took out two more medicine bottles, one red and one black, and said: "His highness will be fine after a hundred days of broken muscles and bones, but his meridians are completely severed and he needs to take a good rest. There are two bottles of medicine here, the red bottle
Take it internally or externally in a black bottle, and you will be able to recover in two or three months."
"Can the severed meridians be repaired?!" Mo Xiu frowned and questioned.
"Of course I can. As long as I still have breath, I can save you." Su Zhen said with a smile.
"Arrogant!"
"Are you crazy or not? We will see the truth in two months!"
"Zhen'er, thank you." Shangyu Chen thanked her.
Su Zhen waved her hand: "Actually, I have better medicine, but the medicine is too strong. Your Highness is weak and may not be able to bear it, so he can only rest slowly. But Your Highness, you should thank the chieftain. If the chieftain hadn't used his clan to
Use the secret medicine to kill His Highness Prince Jing, I am afraid that His Highness will die long ago."
Mo Xiu stroked his white beard and snorted coldly: "Young master, I am so impressed. If you teach your superb skills to doctors, the number of casualties among soldiers in the army will be greatly reduced every year."
"The chieftain has great righteousness. I would like to thank the chieftain on behalf of Prince Jing." Shang Yuchen bowed to Mo Xiu and saluted solemnly.
Mo Xiu quickly stood up and helped him up, took out an envelope from his arms, and said: "The late emperor passed away early, and now the emperor is guarding the prosperous age. At that time, he is in good health. As the prince, if he can control the court as soon as possible,
It will be of great benefit to the future.”
After speaking, he opened the envelope and revealed a piece of white paper and an ink dragon-patterned jade pendant inside.
Shangyu Chen took the white paper and said doubtfully: "What is this, I don't understand."
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing falsely conveyed a secret letter from the Crown Prince and made a promise that if I am willing to send troops to quell the rebellion, the two Highnesses will ask the Emperor for a decree to reduce taxes in Jiangdu, and the exiled officials will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and will be replaced by chieftains from all sides.
Come to elect and appoint people, hereditary will not replace them."
Shang Yuchen was silent. This was naturally not what he asked Shang Mujing to do. As for the jade pendant, he gave it to Gu Yunshu.
Thinking about it, Gu Yunshu had already anticipated this and had prepared a backup plan for Shang Mujing.
"With a piece of white paper, can the big chieftain be tricked into coming to Jiangdu willingly?" Su Zhen asked with a smile.
Mo Xiu snorted coldly: "Although I am over a hundred years old, my brain is still bright."
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing was in a hurry and had no choice but to deceive the chieftain. But in Su's opinion, this matter was not appropriate."
"You want to go back on your word?!" Mo Xiu said angrily.
"It's natural to regret. It's just that the Kayi people have done a great job this time. If they only have hereditary officials, the chieftain can be satisfied?"
"What do you mean?"
"Scholars, farmers, and merchants are the lowest class of people. But Su thought that instead of asking for high-ranking officials and favors from the emperor, it would be better to let His Highness the Crown Prince help the chieftain's tribe conduct business."
"Little Huangkou, do you think that our seventy-two tribes in Jiangdu Wilderness are short of money?"
"Of course there is no shortage of money, but you are trapped in the mountains, living in seclusion, and sitting on thousands of natural and earthly treasures for no reason, but you don't know how to make the best use of them. Even if you old people are willing to endure the cold and heat of winter, those in the prime of life and the young and young will not be able to make the best use of them.
They sit in wells and look at the sky all day long, unaware of the vastness of the world. They mistakenly believe that a small wilderness covers the vastness of heaven and earth."
Mo Xiu was a little moved and asked: "What are the treasures of heaven and earth?"
"Su came to Jiangdu before the prince. He had already seen all the landforms of Jiangdu. The soil of Jiangdu was already fertile. After the flood, the houses were rebuilt. His Royal Highness the prince had ordered the people to work for relief, and also brought
We have prepared seeds that can be harvested three times a year. These seeds can not only be implemented in Jiangdu, but also used by your seventy-two tribes. However, you have to move out of the mountains, change your name, change your customs, and repair your genealogy."
"Seventy-two tribes, each with their own inheritance, have never been born. How can you persuade them to come out?"
"You don't need to persuade, you just need to move out a little. As long as these people can see the prosperity of Jiangdu in the future, they will come out naturally without our persuasion. After all, your people are not monks and Taoists who have abandoned their emotions and desires. As long as Luoqi Country becomes rich and prosperous,
If it is strong, the people will have enough food and clothing and don’t have to worry about not having enough food and clothing, and they will naturally be tempted.”
Mo Xiu looked at Shang Yuchen, who nodded, and continued what Su Zhen said: "Not only that, as Mu Jing said before, I still agree, and I will propose to my father that Jiangdu be set up as an independent county.
, jointly governed by the court officials and the seventy-two tribes in the wilderness."
"What benefit do you bring to the court by talking so much?"
"Water can carry a boat or capsize it. People are water. As long as the people are rich, they will pay more taxes. With more taxes, the treasury will be full. When the treasury is full, the court can do more for the people.
."
Mo Xiu vaguely noticed that Su Zhen had dug a hole for him, but he couldn't explain why.
"Then how can you make people rich?"
"What I have in hand cannot be realized overnight. Chieftain can take a look at these first."
