Marquis Jin's body was indeed getting worse day by day. Li Ran could feel the frailty of Marquis Jin's body even when he looked at it from a distance.
When diagnosing the pulse, both Yangtongue and Zichan were silent and did not dare to make a sound.
After Li Ran bowed and retreated, Yang Tongue hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
"How is it? How is your body?"
"By the way, regarding my illness, your Majesty also sought medical advice, and according to what the fortune teller said, my illness is caused by 'Shi Shen, the two gods of Tai and Ni'. We don't know why. Then I asked the Taishi of the Jin Dynasty, but the Taishi didn't know what "Shi Shen, Tai Tao" was. I have heard that Zi Ming's Expo Qiang remembered, did he ever know about these two gods?"
When the Marquis of Jin heard that Li Ran was so talented, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He immediately looked at Li Ran and asked:
"Haha, I dare to ask Mr. Ziming, who is this really?"
Li Ran heard the word "divination" for the first time and was still thinking about it for a while. He came back to his senses when he heard the Marquis of Jin ask a question.
"Oh, I would like to report back to you. When I was in Luoyi, I came across an ancient book. It is recorded in this book that once upon a time, the Gao Xin family had two sons. The eldest was called Yan Bo and the younger was called Shi Shen. These two sons People living in the jungle were incompatible and used weapons to attack each other every day. Emperor Yao thought it was inappropriate for them to do this, so he moved Uncle Yan to Shangqiu and put him in charge of Chenxing. This was passed down to the Shang Dynasty, and was later used by merchants. It was inherited, so Chenxing was also called Shangxing. In addition, Emperor Yao moved Shi Shen to Daxia and put him in charge of Shenxing. This place in Daxia was inherited by the people of the Tang Dynasty, and served Xia for generations. people and merchants, and finally it passed to the hands of Tang Shuyu, the ancestor of the Jin State."
"So, this ginseng star actually represents the stars of the Jin Kingdom, and Shichen is the director of the ginseng star. Therefore, when the Marquis of Jin dreamed of 'shichen', it should be regarded as his rightful position. In this way, , should be fine."
"As for this 'Taixi', it's like this. In the past, the Jintian family had a descendant named Mei, who was in charge of rivers and lakes everywhere, and she gave birth to Yunge, Taiyi. Taiyi was an official for generations, dredging the Fen River and Tao River. He blocked the river with water and led people to live in the vast and high land. Zhuanxu rewarded him and sealed him in Fenchuan. Therefore, Shen, Si, Ping and Huang have been guarding his sacrifice for generations. Now The Jin State dominated the Fen River area and destroyed these countries one after another. From this point of view, Tai Ni is the god of Fen River."
"The Marquis of Jin dreamed of the God of Fenshui, and he should be fine."
Li Ran spoke eloquently, every word and every word was extremely clear.
When the Marquis of Jin and Sheep Tongue heard Li Ran's lofty remarks, they both had expressions of astonishment on their faces, and it was hard to think about it for a moment.
"Oh, so it seems that this 'Shi Shen and Tai Ti' can really be regarded as the guardian spirit of our Jin Dynasty?"
"Very good, very good. Your Majesty has no worries. This is indeed a blessing to our country of Jin!"
Yang Yanji hurriedly followed the current and took this opportunity to flatter the Marquis of Jin.
The Marquis of Jin felt quite proud when he heard that he was recovering from his illness.
"Then I dare to ask Ziming, what exactly is the illness of the widowed king?"
Sheeptongue opened his mouth and asked again.
The Marquis of Jin's body is indeed weak. This is a fact. Since it is not Shen Shen and Tai Ni is causing trouble, what is going on with the Marquis of Jin's body? There must be an explanation.
Seeing Yang Tongue and asking like this, Li Ran immediately replied:
"In the final analysis, the diseases of the Marquis of Jin are just due to uncontrolled work, rest, diet, joy and sorrow. Therefore, as long as you live more moderately in the future, you will be fine. As for the gods of mountains, rivers, and stars, how can they cure the disease? What about you?"
At this point, the context of Li Ran's advice was very clear, even the Marquis of Jin could clearly feel it.
So, the Marquis of Jin asked again:
"Oh? What do you mean by this? I would like to hear the details."
At this moment, Zichan also took a step forward and bowed to the Marquis of Jin.
"Your Majesty, I have also heard that a gentleman has four periods of time: in the morning he listens to political affairs, during the day he investigates and inquires, in the evening he confirms government orders, and at night he rests his body. In this way, the body energy can be emitted in a controlled manner. , Don’t let it become blocked and weaken the body. If you don’t understand this, it will lead to confusion.”
"According to what Ziming said, the Marquis of Jin's body is now probably sick because all the energy has been used in one place."
"In addition, Qiao also heard that the king's wives and concubines cannot have the same surname, because in this case, the descendants will not be prosperous. If all the beauties around him are taken over, the disaster will be even worse. Therefore, as a gentleman, he should be very Hate these."
"There is a saying in "Zhi": 'If you don't know the surname of a concubine, ask for divination.' The meaning is that if the maid of the concubine does not know her surname, then divination will be done. If you don't know the surname, don't divination for it. , if you violate these two rules, the ancients would feel very taboo. Therefore, men and women must distinguish their surnames, which is a major etiquette matter."
"Now, it is said that in your harem, there are four concubines surnamed Ji who are the most favored. I am afraid it is because of this reason! If your Majesty can exercise restraint from now on, try not to get close to those four women surnamed Ji. , then your body will naturally get better."
After Zichan finished speaking, he pointed the finger directly at the four women surnamed Ji around the Marquis of Jin, and his words often seemed to be mysterious.
This is certainly not because Zichan is sexist, nor does it mean that he really believes in these mysterious things. In fact, Zichan has the least favorable impression of these mysterious things.
However, since you want to give advice now, you have to find an entry point. At this juncture, you can't say that it is all the Marquis of Jin who did something wrong, right? So who did it? Naturally, this I had no choice but to leave the big pot to the four concubines surnamed Ji.
When the Marquis of Jin heard this, he also knew that Zichan's words gave him a step up, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although such advice is a bit sharp, fortunately it is private enough. It will not spread out and cause others to laugh. And Li Ran and Zichan can do it in front of These words spoken in front of him are enough to prove the sincerity of both of them.
"I am worried about state affairs but cannot do anything about it. I am very anxious. I can't help but indulge a little in the harem. Today, I received two people's advice. It was like a bolt from the blue and enlightenment. I have been taught."
The self-knowledge of the Marquis of Jin was once again reflected.
As mentioned before, the Marquis of Jin does not know good or bad, but due to the helplessness of the situation, he often has to choose to see through things without telling them.
Now that Li Ran and Zichan have broken things off with him, he has nothing to hide, so some introspection can be said to be sincere.
"It is a great blessing for our country, Jin, that your Majesty can reflect on yourself today. I regret that I could not remonstrate earlier. This is actually my fault. If I could have remonstrated earlier, why would Your Majesty be so seriously ill? I sincerely ask you.
The crime will be punished by the emperor!"
How could Yang Tongue, who had been in the officialdom for decades, not know how to give the Marquis of Jin a step forward?
As soon as these words came out, both Li Ran and Zichan bowed.
"You are a scholar of our country in Jin Dynasty. I made a mistake on my own, so how can I blame you? Your Majesty, please get up quickly. I should remember today's good words and cultivate my moral character in the future to safeguard my country."
Listen to others' advice and eat enough. This has been the case since ancient times.
The Marquis of Jin is obviously not a faint king.
Li Ran and Zichan looked at each other after standing up, and both nodded.
The reason why the Jin State can continue to support its position as the hegemon of the Central Plains and compete with the Chu State to this day is that, in addition to veteran ministers such as Zhao Wu and Han Qi who are loyal to their duties internally, the self-knowledge of the Marquis of Jin actually also played a big role.
If this were not the case, if it had been any other king, I am afraid that the hegemony of the Jin Kingdom would have collapsed long ago.
"Thank you, sir!"
The three of them got up and were about to retire, but unexpectedly, the guards outside the palace came in again to report that Uncle Qin had sent a doctor to treat the Marquis of Jin.
Uncle Qin, Duke Jinggong of Qin.
Because Duke Xiang of Qin, like Duke Wu of Zheng, was granted the title of earl when he was granted the title of lord by King Ping of Zhou, so all the monarchs of Qin for generations were called Uncle Qin.
When it comes to the relationship between Qin and Jin, what everyone talks about most is probably the so-called "good relationship between Qin and Jin". But in fact? That is really just a flash in the pan. More often than not, the relationship between the two countries can be described as
It's very bad.
Ever since the Battle of Weihan, there have been minor frictions between Qin and Jin. Qin even joined forces with Chu, and had been back and forth with Jin for more than a hundred years.
It was only more than ten years ago that Jin and Chu made peace with each other due to the alliance of annihilation of troops. However, Qin State did not have Chu State as a backer, and it also knew that it was unable to support itself. Therefore, the relationship between Qin and Jin was finally resolved.
Ease.
Therefore, this time Uncle Qin sent doctors to treat the Marquis of Jin. In a sense, it could be regarded as a sign of friendship between the two countries.
