Emperor Xiao was corrupted by the south, and the commander of the Fuyuan Army, An Heng, was so angry that he vomited blood and fell off the dragon chair.
.This frightened the civil and military ministers present, and the chamberlain and others immediately became confused.
Liu Ling rushed over and lifted Emperor Xiao into his arms from the ground.
"Call the imperial doctor! Send someone to Huichun Hall quickly to bring Dr. Li Dongchang into the palace!"
Liu Ling gave a loud shout and carried Emperor Xiao back to the palace. He laid Emperor Xiao flat on the bed, raised his eyelids and looked at it. Although Liu Ling had read various books, he had almost no experience in medical skills.
Talk about saving people’s lives. It’s not just about being called a doctor after reading a few medical books and knowing a few cases. Furthermore, this is his second brother, and even more so the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty. If something goes wrong,
Then it will be too late to regret it.
Liu Ling opened Xiaodi's eyelids and saw that his eyeballs were covered with bloodshot eyes. At this time, Xiaodi's breathing was rapid and his heartbeat was beating violently.
Before the imperial doctor came, everyone below was in a panic. Su Xiu, the great scholar, and Du Yi, the city gatekeeper, were guarding outside the door, and other ministers were also kneeling together outside the door. At this time, the old prime minister
He had just received the summons from the palace, so he fell asleep and hurried over. Su Hubao, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, and Ouyang Renhe, the secretary of the Central Committee, were also on the way.
As soon as the old prime minister entered the palace, he heard that His Majesty the Emperor had fainted. The old man staggered and almost fell. With the support of two young eunuchs, he ran directly to the palace.
Liu Ling sat next to Emperor Xiao, and his mind was in chaos. Liu Ling forced himself to calm down, and thought carefully to see if he could think of anything useful.
Suddenly, he remembered a small folk remedy. He heard this from watching a TV show in his previous life. It said that if someone had a heart attack and there was no medicine around him, but the ambulance had not arrived yet, he could grind cumin into
Powder, mixed with vinegar and fed to the patient can relieve the patient's pain.
Thinking of this, Liu Lingmeng's eyes lit up. The Imperial Hospital is some distance away from here. At this time, the imperial physician on duty has just returned to change his shift. It will take at least ten minutes for the imperial physician to arrive. This is a hospital in the Northern Han Dynasty.
The disadvantage is that during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty before it, and the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties after that, imperial doctors were almost inseparable from the emperor.
When the emperor went to court, the imperial physician was waiting outside the palace. When the emperor returned to his palace, the imperial physician was also waiting outside. The first emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, Liu Ye, the father of Emperor Xiao, was just a general. He
It has only been more than twenty years since he established his country and ascended the throne as emperor, and many things have not been perfected.
Just say that the Imperial Hospital is far away from the edge of the Forbidden Palace. Even if you run for less than ten or twenty minutes, you can't get here. And when the imperial doctor on duty changes his shift, he has to return to the Imperial Hospital to take over. Normally, there is nothing wrong with it.
But if something really happened, the imperial doctor would definitely be too late to treat him.
Fortunately, because Emperor Xiao lived and ate in the Chengxian Hall, a small kitchen was temporarily built behind the Chengxian Hall. Liu Ling sent someone to find some cumin, crushed it with his own hands, and poured some vinegar into it.
After mixing the powder evenly, he held Emperor Xiao's neck and fed it in little by little.
This thing is not a very symptomatic medicine, and Liu Ling is not sure whether it will be effective. But what is certain is that drinking this thing will definitely not be harmful.
After Liu Ling finished feeding her with vinegar, she had no other option but to wait for the imperial doctor to come over.
Emperor Xiao suddenly fainted and his clothes were soaked with sweat. What he didn't expect was that after Liu Ling drank the concoction of vinegar and cumin powder that he was not sure was not medicine, Emperor Xiao gradually calmed down.
When I got down, I wasn’t sweating like before.
Seeing that this thing was indeed effective, Liu Ling felt a little more at ease mentally. After another five or six minutes, four or five imperial doctors finally rushed over in a hurry. After looking around, several imperial doctors finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"How about it?"
Liu Ling asked.
Several imperial doctors discussed it, and the leader sorted out his words and said carefully: "Prince Hui Zhong, we discussed it and agreed that your Majesty's illness this time was due to qi and blood attacking the heart and stagnation in the heart.
I'm too tired and need to take good care of myself for a while. As long as I take proper care, I should be able to recover soon."
After hearing what he said, the stone hanging in Liu Ling's heart finally fell to the ground. He nodded to several imperial doctors and said: "Your Majesty is in his prime, but he is really too tired at ordinary times. You should make good diagnosis and treatment without delay!"
The imperial doctors nodded frequently and gathered together to discuss how to write the prescription.
At this time, after acupuncture and massage by the imperial doctor, Emperor Xiao's breathing was very stable. Maybe he was really too tired, and he was sleeping very peacefully now. Liu Ling couldn't bear to be disturbed, so he took Prime Minister Lu Sen and several other military officials
The adult withdrew.
Outside the door, Liu Ling said to Lu Sen: "Old Prime Minister, during this period of rest, the affairs of the government will be left to you and a few adults. The situation in the south is urgent now, and Liu Ling cannot delay for a moment. This way
Well, I think there is no need for one person to take turns in the Military Aircraft Department. From today on, you and Lord Su, the Grand Scholar, General Su of the Zhu Kingdom, and Lord Ouyang of Zhongshu Ling will be divided into two groups. There must be at least two people in the Military Aircraft Department together every day.
Just be on duty."
"Leave the military affairs to Liu Ling, my lords, please take care of the government affairs!"
Liu Ling cupped his fists and said sincerely.
Lu Sen and others quickly returned the gift, Lu Sen said: "Prince Zhong, don't worry, we will do our best!"
Zhongshu Ling Ouyang Renhe said: "Prince Zhong, your Majesty is not in good health now. It is better for you to take charge of the government affairs. If you are here, everything will not be a problem. But if you leave, I am afraid that we old bones will
I can’t hold it up!”
Liu Ling waved his hand and said: "Master Ouyang, you have to know that since His Majesty the Emperor selected you to join the Military Aircraft Department, he is very sure of your ability and has great hope for you. At this time, it is exactly the time that you need to serve the country.
It’s time to flex your muscles to turn the tide. But if you just belittle yourself, wouldn’t you be living up to your majesty’s high hopes?”
He signaled Ouyang Renhe to stop saying: "Sir Ouyang, you are loyal to the country and do your best, but you must have a clear conscience."
Liu Ling said: "There are two people in the Military Aircraft Department taking turns every day. That's it. One person is always with His Majesty. If His Majesty has any orders, he will convey them quickly. The other person handles daily affairs in the Military Aircraft Department and must not slack off."
"One more thing. I will personally go south to defend the enemy in two days. I will leave the logistics and supplies to a few adults. I know that the treasury is empty. Now if I leave this matter to a few adults, you will be very happy.
Thank you for your hard work. Let’s do this. All the annual tribute collected for the Liao Kingdom these days has been used for military expenses. As for the Liao Kingdom, I have my own way to explain it."
"And, Duke Zhou Yan, I want to take this man away."
Liu Ling briefly explained a few words and then said: "I am going south this time, and I hope that the adults will work together to overcome this difficulty. Please rest assured, as long as the logistics supplies are sufficient, I will be able to carry out the mission."
The Zhou army drove out of the country and recovered Tanzhou!"
After saying that, Liu Ling handed over his hand, asked the guards to take Yang Ye, and then went directly to the Ministry of War.
Luo Chenglin, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, respectfully invited Liu Ling to the upper seat, and then respectfully stood at the bottom.
Liu Ling asked: "Master Luo, how many troops and horses are available in the capital now, and how many more troops and horses can be mobilized from the six northern states?"
Luo Chenglin said: "Prince Huizhong, there are currently 12,000 forbidden troops in the capital, 27,000 men and horses from the original Gyeonggi camp, plus 14,000 original city defense troops who have been transferred to the Gyeonggi camp.
, a total of 53,000 troops and horses. The city defenses of the six northern states are under the jurisdiction of the Jianxiong Army. The Jianxiong Army has a total of 88,000 troops and horses, which are distributed among the six states."
"As for the capital, excluding the necessary troops to defend the city and maintain stability, 30,000 people can be mobilized, which is already the limit. The first and second battalions of the Jianxiong Army were originally stationed north of Datong, and were later transferred to Meizhou. These two
Battalion, if there are no garrison duties, more than 20,000 troops and horses can be mobilized at any time, and some more can be mobilized from other state capitals. A total of 30,000 troops and horses from the Jianxiong Army is the limit. If there are more, the capital and the north will be somewhat uncontrollable."
Liu Ling thought for a moment and transferred 30,000 from the capital and 30,000 from the Jianxiong Army, for a total of 60,000 troops. The number was quite large, but in addition to the men and horses from the Gyeonggi Camp, the first and second battalions of the Jianxiong Army
The combat power is really limited, otherwise they would not be bullied by the Liao cavalry and transferred away from their original garrison. The Gyeonggi Camp is now responsible for guarding the capital. If the original garrison is transferred back to defend the city, there is no guarantee that no accident will occur.
As for the 12,000-strong Forbidden Army, although they claim to be elite, they are actually all embroidered pillows that cannot be used without permission.
The Gyeonggi camp will deploy up to 10,000 people to defend the city, and then some of the Forbidden Army will be transferred to supplement the city defense. The remaining Forbidden Army and the original garrison must be taken away. Although the combat strength of 60,000 people is limited, it is barely enough.
Already.
Now in Yingzhou, An Heng, the commander of the Fuyuan Army, should have at least 60,000 troops under his command. The Fuyuan Army was established by Liu Ling, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than the Jianxiong Army in the north. If An Heng can be successfully captured,
If we take back the command of the Fuyuan Army, this battle will not be hopeless.
The 60,000 Northern Army, plus the 60,000 Fuyuan Army, and 120,000 people faced the elite division of 100,000 people on Tuesday. Although it is still relatively reluctant, it is no longer impossible to fight!
The key is how to successfully take back the Fuyuan Army from An Heng!
If we push too hard, I'm afraid that guy will jump over the wall and lead 60,000 Fuyuan troops to surrender to the Hou Zhou Dynasty, and there will be no chance of recovery.
Liu Ling thought for a while and said: "In this way, 10,000 elites will be transferred from the Gyeonggi Camp, 6,000 from the Forbidden Army, plus the original 14,000 garrison troops, a total of 30,000. Before this afternoon, they must be at the Gyeonggi Camp."
The battalions have been assembled at the camp. The first and second battalions of the Jianxiong Army, together with the 10,000 troops and horses drawn from other state capitals, will set off separately tomorrow afternoon at the latest. The king will arrive at the southern border with 30,000 capital troops in five days.
If the men and horses of the Jianxiong Army have not arrived within the period, all the generals, generals, and captains below the commander of the Jianxiong Army will be captured and executed!"
Luo Chenglin, Minister of the Ministry of War, felt a chill running down his spine. Prince Zhong was too cruel. Jianxiong's army was scattered in six prefectures and was only given two days to prepare. It was indeed too hasty. However, facing this murderer
Luo Chenglin could only nod and remember.
Seeing Luo Chenglin's ugly face, Liu Ling said with a smile: "Master Luo, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. You should prepare the troops deployment order now, and I will ask my soldiers to go to the Jianxiong Army station to supervise
They leave as soon as possible. If anything goes wrong, it has nothing to do with you, Mr. Luo."
Luo Chenglin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly. He knew that whether it was the Fuyuan Army or the Jianxiong Army, those guys were stationed in various states and had already become the overlords in that area. Whether the Ministry of War's troop deployment order would affect him or not.
I have no confidence at all in my heart. If the generals of the Jianxiong Army refuse to implement or delay the matter, he, the Minister of War, will not be able to do anything. When the time comes, His Majesty will blame him and he will reap the rewards. Now Prince Zhong will
Having this matter taken care of made him feel a little more comfortable. (To be continued)
