The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

collapse!

collapse!

collapse!

In the Forbidden Garden, several strings sounded.

One by one, wild animals were picked up by the imperial army and hung on the victory hook of Baigui's saddle.

"teacher……"

"I didn't expect the teacher's shooting skills to be so good."

Li Tai, who was riding on the horse, had a hint of joy in his eyes. He clamped the horse's belly and came close to Bai Gui, his face full of smiles.

Although scribes knew the art of archery, it was one of the six Confucian arts after all. But in the shooting garden located in Xuepan, most of the training is foot shooting. The archery skill Bai Gui showed at this moment was horse shooting.

Although there seems to be a word difference between the two, they have different meanings. .

He has learned horse shooting and is so proficient in it, which shows that he has an absolute understanding of martial arts. Talents with both civil and military skills will be looked upon with high regard wherever they go.

Li Tai was also surprised that Bai Gui was so proficient in archery, but he thought of Bai Gui's master, Taoist Zheng, who could pray for rain, so he was not surprised by this. Taoism, it sounds like, is superior to martial arts. Having a master who knows Taoism and some martial arts is not a big surprise.

"Gui grew up in Liangzhou. There were many military affairs in Liangzhou, so he practiced horse archery a lot."

Bai Gui rode his horse and explained smoothly.

In this life, he grew up in Wuwei City, Liangzhou. Liangzhou has always been a borderland. Wuwei is actually Wuwei County. In order to commemorate the Hussar General Huo Qubing's expedition to Hexi and defeat the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty named Wuwei City Wuwei, which means "martial power and military power".

In the border areas, the slightly richer families would let their children practice riding and shooting.

Everyone who was accompanying Wei King Li Tai heard this and understood immediately.

There were many people with all-around civil and military talents in the Tang Dynasty. In the Weishui Alliance a few years ago, Li Shimin led six cavalry out of Chang'an to make an alliance with Jieli Khan. These six cavalry included Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and other civil servants.

It is not inconceivable that another one will happen now.

The Forbidden Garden is located in the north of Chang'an and contains a small hunting ground. It is not a large place, it is just a place where emperors and some nobles come to hunt occasionally. The real large-scale hunting ground is not here.

Therefore, the group did not stay in the hunting ground for a long time.

After everyone gained something, they left the hunting ground.

Li Shimin and other nobles also returned home with great joy, and their saddles were loaded with deer, hares, wild swans and other prey.

Because Bai Gui had captured a lot of prey, and although he was not ranked high among the many nobles, he was considered high among the civil servants, so the emperor Li Shimin took this opportunity to reward him with a piece of silk and two jars of wine.

The reward is not generous. This hunting is just a game to enhance feelings between the monarch and his ministers.

In the camp, the royal chef cooked these prey and made plates of delicacies.

Everyone was eating and drinking.

I saw Queen Changsun at the top suddenly panting and covering her mouth and nose with her wide sleeves.

The air was quiet for a while.

No one dared to eat anymore, nor did they dare to raise their heads to see the emperor and empress.

All the officials in the court knew that Queen Changsun was suffering from qi disease. Anyone who cares about this scene will know that Empress Changsun accidentally suffered from anger again.

The palace maid helped Queen Changsun to go to the other camp for medical treatment.

The imperial doctor accompanied the camp.

After a while.

Li Shimin's voice was low, "My dear friends, although I have vast territory and control over nine states, but... I am helpless to deal with the Queen's qi disease. I am ashamed to be a husband."

There was a hint of frustration on his face.

After calming down, he continued: "I wonder if there is any way to relieve and cure the Queen's Qi disease, my dear friends. If it is possible, I will not hesitate to be rewarded with a title and a gift of ten thousand gold."

Even though the royal family was ruthless, he was sincere to his wife, Queen Changsun. Ever since Empress Changsun married into the Li family at the age of thirteen, she had been with him for so many years, and the relationship between them was deeper than anyone else. Even the treatment of Aiwujiwu and other princes was obviously not as good as that of Empress Changsun's own children.

After speaking, he looked at the ministers present and stayed on Bai Gui for a while.

Qi disease is what later generations call asthma.

Empress Changsun suffered from asthma and was famous in history.

Bai Gui can cure this disease.

Satomi Nahoko's tuberculosis could be cured by even a pre-immortal. Not to mention mere asthma. glutinous rice

Many successful monks can also treat it.

But Bai Gui was unwilling to come forward.

First, he has hidden his cultivation level now and it is difficult for him to speak out. Both of them, Empress Changsun is a queen, and the law does not include nobles. Treating Empress Changsun's asthma requires far more effort than treating ordinary people's asthma. Third, the monks are not mortals and are not interested in Li Shimin's rewards.

Marquisship and ten thousand gold are nothing more than worldly things.

In the big tent that had been silent for a long time, someone finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the Queen's illness is difficult to cure with medicine and stone is because it is difficult to see the Queen's illness... I have a method that may solve this problem."

In the camp, a crimson-robed civil servant came out and said with cupped hands.

"What method?"

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he said hurriedly.

He just told this matter as a matter of routine, and Queen Changsun's illness did not occur for a moment. I have already asked the world about my illness. But unexpectedly, someone gave him good news today.

"I heard that in the past, the Yellow Emperor cast fifteen mirrors. The first mirror had a horizontal diameter of one foot and five inches, which was equal to the number of full moons. They were listed in order according to the difference of one inch between each mirror."

"For thousands of years, these fifteen treasured mirrors have been hard to find. However, during the Daye period, the censor Wangdu once obtained the eighth mirror. This mirror is eight inches in diameter. Its nose is shaped like a crouching unicorn, and it is arranged in four directions around the nose. The dragons, phoenixes and tigers are laid out according to the directions. There are also eight trigrams outside the four directions, and there are twelve celestial figures outside the hexagrams, each of which is engraved with auspicious animals."

"It is said that this mirror can be used in several ways, one of which is to apply gold paste on it and wipe it with pearl powder, which can illuminate people's heart and soul."

"When you shine in this mirror, the disease will be found. Your Majesty can send the royal doctor to remove the disease, and the queen can also use this to recover. And the light of this mirror also has the effect of resolving the disease."

The crimson-robed civil servant said slowly.

"Wang Du?"

Li Shimin frowned and pondered for a while, "Wang Du, I have met this person before. However, this person died of illness in the thirteenth year of Daye. The person who collected his bones was the Jinyang Wang family, and he was also a member of the Jinyang Wang family... "

Before Li Tang established the Tang Dynasty, he had constant marriages with the Wang family of Jinyang. For example, Princess Tong Antejin, the only biological sister of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, married Wang Renyou of the Wang family in Taiyuan. After the Tang Dynasty was established, Li Shimin's third daughter, Princess Nanping, was betrothed to Wang Jingzhi of the Wang family...

Later, the earliest wife of Jin Wang Li Zhi was the legitimate daughter of Jin Wang's family as the crown princess.

Compared with other prominent families, the Li Tang royal family has the closest relationship with the Jinyang Wang family.

Otherwise, Li Tang would not have started his career in Jin.

"What I know is limited to this. Your Majesty can send someone to ask the King of Jinyang..."

The crimson-robed civil servant cupped his hands and replied.

Li Shimin nodded, rewarded the crimson-robed civil servant, and then ordered Tai Le Cheng Wang Ji to go out.

Wang Ji is known as Dong Gaozi, and he is the same roommate as Wang Du. They are both younger brothers of Wen Zhongzi Wang Tong, and now serve as Tai Lecheng of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, my brother's coffin was placed in my funeral casket. Although I heard that my brother owned this precious mirror, the mirror disappeared from the mirror box one month before my brother's death."

Wang Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Ai Qing, do you really mean what you said?"

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously.

He thought that if he got this precious mirror, he would definitely keep it secret and not let anyone know about it. Now that Wang Ji is like this, in his opinion, it is very likely that he is deliberately deceiving the king.

"If the Wang family has this mirror, thirty-four people from my Wang family have died of illness in recent years, many of whom are highly respected elders. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can see my Wang family's genealogy in person."

Wang Ji sighed and said sincerely.

He did not say whether he had this precious mirror at home, but he only said that if he had this precious mirror, then it would be impossible for Wang to have so many deaths from illness in recent years. It's just ordinary Wang family members, but those who died due to illness were not just ordinary clan members, but also some prestigious elders.

"Wang Aiqing, please step aside for now."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, as if he believed what Wang Ji said.

Jinyang Wang's family is not a small clan. Not to mention his relationship with the Li Tang royal family, Jinyang Wang's family background alone does not allow him to ransack the house in search of this precious mirror. Carrying out tyranny because of a "non-existent" matter is inconsistent with his status as a benevolent king.

This matter can only be investigated secretly.

However, he mostly believed Wang Ji's words. If there really is this precious mirror, no matter how hard the Wang family of Jinyang defends it, there will be no chance that no news will come out.

Bai Gui, who was sitting down, was also confused.

It is impossible to say that he has no greed for this precious mirror. The iron weapon used by Dayu to control floods became the golden cudgel in the hands of Sun Wukong. So even if the treasure mirror created by the Yellow Emperor is not as good as the Dinghai Divine Needle, it is certainly not far behind and is a first-class treasure.

"It's a pity that I only heard of its name, but no trace of it..."

He sighed.
