Chapter 1309 The gate of life and death
Youzhou has been a place of great beauty since ancient times. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Youzhou became an important town in the north of the Tang Dynasty. It not only has important military value, but is also an important transportation hub and a commercial center in the northeast.
Yongping City is the administrative seat of Youzhou. It not only has towering walls, but is also very prosperous.
There is a moat outside Yongping City. There are 600,000 people in the city. Trade is prosperous. In the city, there are rice shops, butcher shops, oil shops, five-ripe shops, fruit shops, silk and silk shops, and pig iron shops. The trading houses are the first in the same industry.
Organization, once the industry reaches a certain scale, it is natural to organize trading houses and regulate and restrict it.
Although ordinary small towns have shops, they can rarely organize trading houses.
There are many businesses in Yongping City, which shows the development of Yongping City's commerce and handicraft industry.
Moreover, Zhu Danyang, the governor of Youzhou, was very talented. Although he was a military general, he was able to manage Youzhou in an orderly manner. Under the governance of the governor, the people of the seven counties of Youzhou were well fed and clothed.
The governor Zhu Danyang naturally had a high prestige in the hearts of the people.
Zhu Danyang not only attaches great importance to people's livelihood, but also attaches great importance to the commercial development of Youzhou. He does not allow anyone to bully the market and try his best to let the business environment develop healthily. Any merchant who wants to dominate the business in Youzhou will face Zhu Danyang's suppression.
, so it is difficult for a few merchants to dominate Youzhou.
The night was dark, and after a heavy rain last night, the bluestone streets in Yongping City seemed to have been washed and became cleaner.
The Youzhou Governor's Mansion, located in the city, is still solemn after the heavy rain.
Many people know that the governor is currently in a coma.
That day, the governor was discussing matters with officials when he suddenly fainted. He then called a doctor for treatment. After the doctor's diagnosis, it was determined that the governor was overtired, which led to the governor suddenly fainting.
According to the doctor, the governor needed to rest for a period of time, so during this period, Huang Kui did his best to temporarily assume the power of governor.
The governor is both civil and military. Because of his outstanding talents and his background as a soldier, he always sticks to his word in almost everything. His officials usually do not dare to disobey. Even Huang Kui and Biejia Qiao Xuansu, who are the long history officials,
He was also obedient to the governor.
In recent years, the governor's energy has been focused on government affairs, and he has not interfered much with military affairs. Therefore, Huang Kui still has some real power in his hands, while Qiao Xuansu has become invisible. This result has also led to Qiao Xuansu, a special person.
Most of the time, Master Jia is just a decoration and has no real power in his hands.
So after the governor fell unconscious, Huang Kui immediately became the backbone of everyone.
Zhu Danyang has been in coma for nearly ten days. In the past ten days, although many officials came to visit him, they were all rejected by the governor's wife. These days, the governor's wife has almost never left Zhu Danyang's side, taking care of him day and night, and personally taking care of him every day.
Feed soup.
Zhu Danyang is nearly sixty years old, and his wife is only a few years younger than him, and is also in her early fifties. They have a very deep relationship with each other. After Zhu Danyang fell into a coma, his wife was worried. She learned that Zhu Danyang was comatose because of overwork and needed to take a rest.
After recuperating, I took out my personal money and bought a few old wild ginseng. In the past few days, I have been feeding Zhu Danyang with ginseng soup, and mixed with other soups to ensure that Zhu Danyang would not starve to death.
But Madam also knows that if she stays in such a deep sleep, she may not be able to hold on for long.
Zhu Danyang's complexion was obviously getting worse day by day while he was sleeping, and his cheeks were visibly sunken, making his condition worse and worse.
She became more and more suspicious that Zhu Danyang's condition might not be as simple as being too tired. She went to several doctors in succession, and the diagnosis results were all the same, that is, he was too tired and needed rest to recover slowly.
"Madam, Commander Qiu wants to see you!" Madam Zhu looked sad, and a maid came over to report softly.
Mrs. Zhu nodded slightly and asked the maid to look after Zhu Danyang first. She walked out of the room and went to the outer hall, where a general was waiting.
This is Qiu Yi, the commander of the bodyguards of the Governor's Mansion and Zhu Danyang's confidant. After Zhu Danyang passed out of coma, Qiu Yi never left the Governor's Mansion. He wore armor day and night and led his guards to ensure the safety of the Governor's Mansion.
"Madam!" Seeing Madam Zhu come out, Qiu Yi immediately bowed and saluted.
Zhu Danyang has outstanding talents, and Mrs. Zhu is also extremely virtuous. The couple is deeply respected by everyone.
"What's the matter?"
"Huang Changshi came over just now." Qiu Yi said softly: "He asked the Lord how he is doing now and whether he has woken up. When he learned that the Lord has not woken up yet, he left two ginseng roots and some high-quality medicinal materials."
A ginseng box and a package of medicinal materials were placed on the table, and he said: "What Chang Shi means is that the soup made from wild ginseng and these medicinal materials can replenish blood and nourish qi, which is good for the body of adults."
The lady frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you that before the master wakes up, you can't collect anything without seeing anyone? How could you knowingly do this?"
"My subordinates have also told Huang Changshi a long time ago." Qiu Yi said immediately: "Huang Changshi didn't say anything before, but this time he was resolute and just told other officials. He sent these medicinal materials.
It’s not just to flatter you, but I hope you wake up as soon as possible. The governor’s office has to accept it. Things are complicated in Youzhou. If you are unable to wake up for a long time, I’m afraid there will be trouble. This will be very detrimental to Youzhou, so we must
Recover as soon as possible. He said that Madam is a person who understands the overall situation and understands the key points, and then without saying anything else, he left these things and left."
The lady hesitated for a moment, looked at the medicinal materials on the table, and finally said: "It's rare for him to take so much pains." She turned around and ordered: "Yue'e, take the medicinal materials, make soup and bring it over later."
The maid in the room immediately came out and took the medicinal materials.
"Qiu Yi, my master's complexion has been getting worse and worse in the past two days." Madam frowned and said with a worried look: "And the breath is obviously much weaker than before. If it is just excessive fatigue, I have been lying down for many days, and every day
Feeding with ginseng soup should not be like this." He looked solemn, sighed, and said: "But several doctors were invited, and their diagnosis results were all the same. I... I will think about it.
Go, I always feel like there’s something fishy here.”
Qiu Yi looked around and whispered: "Madam, do you suspect that there is another reason for your coma?"
"I can't say." The lady said: "Logically speaking, these doctors invited are all famous doctors with high reputations in Yongping City. They should not make mistakes in diagnosis. And even if one person makes a misdiagnosis, it is impossible for all of them to make a misdiagnosis."
Everyone has diagnosed the problem...!" After thinking for a moment, he waved to Qiu Yi. Qiu Yi came closer and asked softly: "Do you know other doctors in the city? It doesn't have to be too famous, as long as the medical skills are good.
That’s it…!”
Qiu Yi understood the meaning immediately and whispered: "Madam, it's getting dark soon. In the dead of night, I will personally go and ask a doctor to come and diagnose...!"
The lady nodded slightly and said: "That's very good." She lowered her voice and said: "If the master is asleep, anything can happen in the city. Yes, you told me last time that Wei Xu went to Zhuo County to kill Cui
Commander, please come back, they haven’t arrived in Yongping yet?”
"Based on time, we should be here soon." Qiu Yi said: "But it has been raining for the past two days. Although the rain is light today, it has not stopped completely. I think it was also delayed by heavy rain on the way here."
The lady thought for a moment and then said: "Send someone to wait at the west gate. As soon as you see Commander Cui, tell him not to enter the city yet, but to go back to Youzhou Camp and wait for the master to wake up. Before he wakes up, he will not
Half a step into Yongping City."
Qiu Yi faintly felt something and said softly: "Madam, could it be...?"
"Just in case, I hope I am worrying too much." The lady sighed: "Invite the doctor tonight and bring him to see me immediately. Remember, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better. Try not to let other people know.
."
Qiu Yi didn't waste any time and stepped back.
The lady then got up and returned to the house, sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at Zhu Danyang quietly.
After a long time, it was completely dark. A maid came in, lit an oil lamp, and then left.
After a while, he saw the maid Yue'e coming in with ginseng soup.
"Put it on the table to cool down." The lady ordered, "Please step aside first."
Yue'e put down the ginseng soup and then said to the madam: "Madam, you didn't have a good rest last night. Please pay attention to your health. I will take care of you. You should have a good night's rest first."
"No need." The lady shook her head and said, "Just step back!"
Yue'e didn't dare to say anything more. She bowed, stepped back, and then closed the door behind her.
The lady was leaning on the chair, quite tired. She felt a cool breeze blowing in her daze. She opened her eyes, turned around and looked over, only to find that the window had been blown open by the wind at some point. She got up, closed the window, and walked to the table.
, picked up the ginseng soup and was about to feed Zhu Danyang. As soon as he walked to the bed, he heard a woman's voice next to him: "If you take it for him, he will only die faster."
The lady suddenly heard a sound and was startled. She turned around and looked over, only to see an additional figure beside her.
The person was wearing a bamboo hat with black gauze hanging from the edge. The whole face was covered by the black gauze. She was wearing a brown dress with a purple belt around her waist. This made her waist quite slender, but her breasts were thin.
It is bulging and very abundant.
If it were an ordinary person who suddenly saw this scene, he would definitely exclaim loudly. Fortunately, Madam is also a person who has seen the world. Although her expression changed, she still tried her best to maintain her composure. After looking at the person, she asked: "Who are you?"
Who? Why did you break into the Governor's Mansion?"
The man did not hide anything, he took off his hat, revealing a rather beautiful face, with eyes like stars, but with a hint of natural charm in his coldness, he said lightly: "Someone wants Zhu Danyang to live.
