Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

In midsummer in the Northwest, the weather changed as it said it would, and within a day, there were strong winds and rains, and the low tents built on the grass were almost blown into the sky. The whole world seems to be caught in the raging wind and rain.

Zhongli Mao crawled into the tent of the Chinese army, and took off the bamboo hat, revealing his gray beard that was blown tousled by the wind, and the coir raincoat on his body was also dripping.

In the depths of the tent, Li Chuyun was sitting on a stool, looking down at the paper in his hand, pressing the paper tightly with one hand to prevent it from being blown by the wind. He looked up and said nothing.

Zhongli had already taken off his coir raincoat, walked to Li Chuyun's side, found a wooden stool and sat down, and glanced at the paper pressed in front of Li Chuyun.

"Mr. Zhong is here." Li Chuyun greeted without raising his head.

"Here we come." Zhongli also simply responded. Amid the whirring wind and rain, the tent felt swaying.

After a while, Zhongli asked again: "Is something wrong in Tokyo?"

"Oh?" Li Chuyun was immediately attracted, looked up at Zhongli with strange eyes, "Why did Mr. Zhong say that?"

Zhong Li said: "Isn't it Li Gong who thinks so? Li Gong has read this letter over and over again."

The two immediately looked at each other.

... Wei Renpu took the rolled memorial and put it on a candle and baked it. When the paint on it was slightly soft, he took out the seal and sealed it carefully, and handed it to the soldier standing in front of him, saying: "After the rainstorm stops, send it to Tokyo immediately."

"Decree!"

...

Daxu's capital, Tokyo Daliang, was also torrentially raining at this time. The rainwater on the double eaves of the palace flowed down like a waterfall, and the brick floor was covered with water, and the entire imperial city seemed to be submerged in water.

"Kah!" A flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the gloomy sky covered with dark clouds, shocking the entire world!

Guo Shao suddenly raised his head, giving him the illusion that the magnificent Long Live Hall built on the high platform was trembling.

"My servant pays homage to His Majesty." Eunuch Cao Tai's shrill voice came from outside the curtain.

Guo Shao turned his head and saw outside the translucent floor-to-ceiling curtain, a respectful and thin figure bent over. He slowly said, "Such heavy rain...cancel the discussion of the Political Hall and the early court."

"The servants obey the order." Cao Tai said.

"By the way..." Guo Shao said, "Send Luan to drive and bring Mrs. Lu to accompany me, and let her dress up."

Cao Tai hurriedly said: "The servant obeys the order."

He didn't have anything extra to say, so he stepped back and left carefully after speaking. Seeing the figure disappear, Guo Shao took out a handkerchief and pressed his mouth hard, and let out a few "cough cough coughs" forbearance, took off the handkerchief, and saw a bright red blood stain on it.

Guo Shao immediately grabbed the handkerchief tightly in his palm, sat on the couch for a long time, then put the handkerchief on the candle on the lamp stand, and threw it into the copper basin below.

He wanted to stand up from the couch, but suddenly he felt more strongly that the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and his body was limp and without much strength. And flustered, that kind of discomfort is not pain, but it seems that ten thousand ants are biting in my heart. The whole person can't feel at ease.

He stood up slowly, feeling his legs trembling slightly under the robe. It has been raining heavily for the past two days, the weather has changed, and my body seems to be deteriorating rapidly, which is more obviously worse than the previous few days.

Guo Shao walked slowly to the large antique silk-covered map in the middle of which was written "Territory of the Great Xu Empire" and looked up at it without moving. For a long time, his mind was almost blank.

Half an hour later, a woman's voice came from outside: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Guo Shao said: "Come here, everyone else will retreat."

"Here." The voices of several people came in.

After a while, Guo Shao felt that someone was supporting him, and immediately heard a choked call: "Your Majesty..." He turned his head and saw Lady Lu, who was smeared with vermilion rouge on her lips, dressed very gorgeously, but tears were streaming down her face.

Guo Shao glanced at her blankly, turned around and sat down on the chair and said, "Take my pulse again..." He said again in a very low voice, "I coughed up blood this morning."

Lady Lu bit her vermilion lips, the rouge on her face was already stained by tears. She quickly wiped her eyes, held her breath and put her fingers on Guo Shao's wrist.

With her left and right hands in hand, she carefully observed Guo Shao's pupils and mouth. Mrs. Lu tried her best to restrain the trembling of her voice: "Your Majesty's pulse condition is very strong, but it is very chaotic. I really don't know what the disease is. Why don't you consult with other famous doctors?"

"No." Guo Shao said decisively, with a solemn expression on his face, "I have seen Lady Lu's medical skills with my own eyes. If you can't even treat a disease that you can't cure, I don't believe how good other imperial doctors are."

Mrs. Lu said: "Your Majesty's dragon body is important."

Guo Shao said in a deep voice: "Jiangshan is also very important."

Lady Lu stared at Guo Shao, not knowing how to answer.

Guo Shao said calmly: "I'm not ready yet. If word spreads that I'm seriously ill, many things will be difficult to control!"

Mrs. Lu said: "But... if it goes on like this, we won't be able to hide it for long. Even if His Majesty doesn't see others anymore, some people will pay attention to guess that you are the son of heaven, the king of a country."

"Wait a minute." Guo Shao closed his eyes. Fortunately, he is still not confused at all... at least let Li Chuyun come back first and hand over the military power.

The 50,000 elites are in the hands of Li Chuyun, far away from the country, which makes Guo Shao very flustered at this moment.

Lady Lu's voice said again: "As His Majesty, I prescribe some prescriptions for recuperation."

Guo Shao sat on the chair without saying a word.

Suddenly there was a flash outside the palace, and then there were two loud bangs, Lu Lan's shoulders trembled suddenly, and he was so frightened that he lost his voice. When she looked at Guo Shao, Guo Shao's tall body was still sitting firmly on the chair, unmoved, very calm and composed.

Guo Shao didn't speak again, he opened his eyes from time to time, and closed his eyes from time to time, as if he was in a trance, the palace was very dull. Only the sound of the torrential rain and the howling of the wind remained, and the world was full of turmoil.

... Cao Tai went to the Jinxiang Hall to pass the decree, and immediately hurried to Xuanyou Gate after finishing his work. He was holding a big umbrella, and his boots and the hem of his robe were already soaked by stagnant water and rain as he walked quickly.

There was thunder and lightning, but the magnificent palace and the exquisite eaves had a terrible appearance in the wind and rain, mysterious and hideous.

He shuttled through the rain, rushed to Zide Hall, and walked in quickly, the rain on his body immediately left a string of water stains on the floor. In front of a palace gate, several women in purple robes and buns stood there. Cao Tai walked straight in, and the eyes of those women were fixed on him, some wanted to stop him, but one of them shook his head slightly and let Cao Tai in.

Everyone around Jinzhan knew this eunuch and came to see the queen almost every day, and everyone knew that he was the queen's confidant.

A graceful figure appeared in front of a window, Jinzhan's side face was facing the door. She sat in a dignified posture, gently put down the teacup in her hand, raised her hand and waved lightly, and the ladies around her immediately bowed and retreated.

Cao Tai stepped forward, bent down almost to Jinzhan's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty canceled the morning court this morning, and didn't go to the Jinxiang Palace for several days in a row. The slaves heard that no one came near except Mrs. Lu... Hearing His Majesty's golden words this morning, it seems that he has no energy."

Jinzhan said nothing, but the eyelashes on his eyes were trembling.

Cao Tai whispered again: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty may be sick."

Jinzhan's hands tightly grabbed the hem of the jacket, so hard that his knuckles turned white, as if he was about to tear the material of the clothes, but he said, "I see."

"Here." Cao Tai hurriedly bowed.

Cao Tai took a few steps back and stood beside him bent over, paying attention to Jinzhan's expression and movements. He was also thinking about it: the officials only let Mrs. Lu come closer, because that woman is a doctor and has excellent medical skills; otherwise, Lu Lan would certainly not be as good as our lady.

"Your Majesty, do you want to visit the official's house?" Cao Tai whispered.

Jinzhan shook his head and said: "If the official wants to tell me, he will tell. He didn't even tell you, so he has his own reasons."

Cao Tai said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty said..."

At this moment, a woman at the gate of the palace said: "The queen forgives the sin, but the person who came is from the Long Live Hall, and the decree is sent to invite the Great Empress to face the saint in the Long Live Hall."

Jinzhan glanced at Cao Tai. Cao Tai hurriedly said: "Your maidservant, go and prepare the car immediately."

Not long after, Jinzhan boarded the yellow-gailed chariot in the rain. The heavy rain flew across, soaking the covering curtains, water droplets penetrated the silk curtains, splashed inside, and hit the skin of Jinzhan's face and neck, she only felt the rain was cold.

She was very disturbed and had a faint premonition of something unknown.

People always get sick when they eat five grains. It is not surprising that everyone will contract some minor diseases occasionally. Even Guo Shao suffered from wind and cold more than once, but he didn't need to hide it, but this time he covered it up very meticulously, which made Jinzhan feel that it might not be a minor illness.

Her heart was hanging in the air at this moment, floating like the wind and rain outside the car, very worried. At the same time, we must be extra careful... The royal family is not that simple. Apart from feelings, there are also various important relationships; in history, brothers, even father and son, did not kill each other once or twice.

But so many winds and rains have come, although Jinzhan is heartbroken, she still holds her breath. She is not an ordinary woman who immediately panics when something happens.

The Long Live Hall is grand and conspicuous on the central axis of the palace. The chariot was already approaching, and there was a soft "snap", and the sound of opening an umbrella came from outside, and the eunuch's voice said: "Please move your mother." After saying that, he opened the curtain.

Two women bent down to help her down, and several umbrellas immediately covered their heads so that even the sky could not be seen. Jinzhan wore rainproof leather boots and walked up the stone steps.

Jinzhan's heart was turbulent at this time, she wanted to know what happened quickly, but at the same time she was very scared, unwilling to confirm the bad prediction.

Walking through the stone steps on the rammed-earth platform of the Long Live Hall in the heavy rain, Jinzhan didn't say a word, but he felt as if he had walked a long way. ..
