Chapter 341

"boom!"

Chu You couldn't express his unwillingness and anger, so he could only slam his fist on the coffee table, causing the tea cup to jump.

Seeing the tea splashed on his fist, Li Yunxie hurriedly wiped the tea on his hand with a handkerchief for fear that he would be burned.

Seeing that he was not burned, she was relieved, rubbed his big hand gently, and said: "My lord, there is one thing I want to give you, it is a prescription."

"Penicillium powder."

She slowly spit out these three words.

Chu You knew that Wancaotang was the medicine hall opened by Li Yunlai, and also knew that the Ministry of War had purchased a batch of penicillin powder from Wancaotang. Chu You was also proud that the medicine hall opened by Li Yunlai had such a prominent reputation.

Li Yunxie held Chu You's hand with both hands, and continued, "This is my dowry."

She changed her surname and clan, and she couldn't take the Gu family's dowry. Later, her dowry was prepared by King Kang for her.

Now she has nothing.

Chu You said distressedly: "I don't need your dowry..."

It was the best dowry for her to marry him.

"My lord, you heard me say," Li Yunxie interrupted Chu You, "it's not just Qingmeisan, I have others."

Chu You was startled, Li Yunxie took out a folded tissue paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him.

Chu You slowly unfolded it, and the silk paper was densely written in small letters with hairpin flowers. The more he looked at it, the wider his eyes widened, showing an expression of disbelief, and he firmly held the silk paper with one hand.

"This..." Chu You looked at Li Yunxie's shining eyes in surprise.

Gu Yunwei said slowly: "Although these are not as good as the "Taizu Handbook", they are enough to make others think that this is from the "Taizu Handbook."

"My lord, the 'now' of the aristocratic family is still very important."

She puts more volume on the word "now."

Before Kang Wang sat in that supreme position, the family was very important.

Chu You turned his face sideways and listened quietly, the light was jumping on the tip of his straight nose, but the warm light made people feel cold at this moment.

Li Yunxie analyzed calmly: "The aristocratic family is hateful, but in fact the aristocratic family has no other choice, unless they are willing to bow their heads to the emperor. Are they willing?"

uncertain. Chu You knew that if those aristocratic families had no hope, they would lie dormant and wait for the opportunity. Most of the aristocratic families were well-educated, and they would let three or five young children from the sidelines of the clan enter the court through the imperial examination, so that they would not stay away from the court. It will not fall into the character of the family.

The aristocratic family had been dormant for thirty years, from the Taizu emperor to the late emperor, and waited for the opportunity for the aristocratic family to rise again.

Most of these aristocratic families have lasted for hundreds of years. What they look at is not the immediate interests, but the long-term future. They are cautious and will not easily put all their eggs in one basket.

Therefore, Chu You also knew in his heart that if this continues, the aristocratic family is very likely to give up on him and wait for the next opportunity.

But even so, he never regretted it.

Chu You's eager eyes fell on the piece of paper Li Yunxie gave, two clusters of flames ignited in his pupils, and his blood boiled in his chest.

He knew that if the aristocratic family thought that the "Taizu Handbook" was in his hands, they might change their minds.

The aristocratic family is unreliable, but it is a useful weapon.

"Xiao'er, I'm lucky to have you." Chu You's eyes became bright and sharp again, and a vigorous smile slowly bloomed on his lips, "You are really my lucky star."

It was nine years ago, and it is now.

Li Yunxuan smiled slightly.

Chu You stared deeply at Li Yunxie, lowered his head to hold her lips, and sucked them over and over again. Li Yunxie's cheeks flushed like rouge under the light.

He whispered in her ear: "Xiao'er, you are so kind!"

The candlelight swayed gently in the lampshade of the palace lantern, and the candle oil made a soft crackling sound.

The two were entwined, and the piece of tissue paper fell from the man's fingers, twirling in a fluttering motion...

The sound of more drums came from a distance outside the window, it was late at night...

After the topic of Kang Wang's big wedding was lively in the capital for a few days, it gradually faded away and was replaced by new topics.

In the eyes of everyone in the capital, Kang Wang has settled down a lot after his wedding, just like an ordinary clan and county king with errands, not in a hurry.

Most of the adult brothers of the emperor and Kang Wang went to the fiefdom after they got married, but no one in the court mentioned the matter of letting Kang Wang go to the fiefdom. No matter it was the aristocratic family, nobles, or clan, they all forgot about it.

Another seven or eight days passed without any waves, until March 15th, when Kang Wang Chuyou presented a prescription called Qingmeisan in the morning court.

"Penicillium powder has miraculous effects on high fever, tuberculosis, purulent ear and other diseases caused by trauma. My brother, on behalf of the princess, presented this prescription. I hope this prescription can be used in the army, and it can greatly reduce the casualties of our great soldiers. It will last forever."

"This is a little wish from my minister and the concubine, please accept it with a smile, it will benefit the great world!"

Chu You's impassioned words caused an uproar in the hall.

Penicillium powder has been popular in the capital for years, and everyone knows that it is a life-saving medicine. The Ministry of War once purchased a batch of penicillium powder and tested it in the army. But very few people know who the owner of Wancaotang is. During these days, there have been many speculations and discussions about Wancaotang.

The vast majority of people don't associate Penicillium Powder with "Taizu Handbook", after all, for them, "Taizu Handbook" is just a legend.

There are also very few people, like the emperor, Fengyang, and King Kang, who know a little bit about "The Handbook of Taizu", and have secretly suspected for a long time whether the owner of Wancaotang has obtained "The Handbook of Taizu".

But none of them expected that the owner of Wancaotang turned out to be the newly promoted Concubine Kang, Li Yunxie.

In the Golden Luan Hall, all civil and military officials were astonished.

The officials discussed in whispers, and words such as "Penicillium Powder", "Penicillin", "Taizu Handbook", "Kang Wangfei" and so on floated out of the boiling crowd.

Everyone was shocked, surprised, speculated, and even more excited. Only Chu You, who stood in the center of the Golden Luan Hall, stood there motionless, like a tall and straight spear.

There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of Chu You's lips, exuding a high arrogance all over his body, heroic and noble.

Xiao Shoufu, who was standing at the forefront of the civil servant queue, had a strange look in his eyes, and he winked at someone in the queue calmly, and then a middle-aged official asked a question: "Dare to ask the prince, How did Princess Kang get it?"

What he asked seemed to be only penicillin powder, but most people knew that he was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.

The other courtiers fell silent again. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Chu You, and they couldn't hide the expectation in their eyes, and they were more thoughtful.

Chu You maintained the posture of clasping his fists, turned his eyes to the middle-aged official who asked the question, and said indifferently: "The princess is lucky, she got the prescription by accident."

All the officials looked at Chu You, waiting for him to continue, but he tightened his thin lips and stopped talking.

His words were obviously reserved, making one wonder what else he was hiding.

Those acquainted officials Xungui secretly exchanged glances in the queue, speculating differently.

The emperor on the golden throne ordered the eunuch Zhao Rang in a calm voice: "Bring it up and let me have a look."

Zhao Rang bowed to accept the order, and walked towards Chu You below.

The atmosphere in the hall became a bit weird, seemingly calm, but undercurrents were surging, and everyone's eyes were wandering between the emperor and Kang Wang, the brothers.

It has only been one year since he ascended the throne, and Enke Chunxi is just around the corner. Now, more than half of the officials and nobles in this court are veterans of the late emperor. The current academicians of the Hanlin Academy are still veterans of the three dynasties, and they are more than a few years old.

Almost all the officials knew that the late emperor had been looking for the "Taizu Handbook" for twenty years after the death of the Taizu. It is not an exaggeration to say that the mercury mirror, soap, glass, windmill, etc. were invented, and the musket and loom were improved.

When he was old, Taizu recorded some ideas that were too late to be realized in the manuscripts, but after the death of Taizu, the manuscripts disappeared. Some people rumored that Taizu burned the manuscripts before his death, and some people rumored that the manuscripts were in Fengyang. In the hands of the eldest princess, there are different opinions.

If the "Taizu Handbook" is really in the hands of Concubine Kang Li Yunxie, then apart from penicillin, are other things recorded in it also in the hands of Concubine Kang, or Kang Wang?

For the ministers, it doesn't matter whether Concubine Kang is really lucky to get the "Taizu Handbook" or if Concubine Kang used the name of Concubine Kang for some purpose.

What is important is the "Taizu Handbook" itself.

Some courtiers with active minds all showed contemplative expressions.

The value of "Taizu Handbook" is immeasurable. It can bring Dajing to a new level, make Dajing flourish, and even overwhelm South Vietnam.

With scorching eyes, Zhao Rang took the prescription from Chu You, and personally presented it to the emperor on the golden throne.

The emperor looked at the tissue paper, his pupils shrank slightly, and subconsciously squeezed the tissue paper tightly, even if he didn't say a word, he couldn't hide his emotion.

Just this little gaffe is enough to make the civil and military officials below who are watching the words and expressions have a lot of imagination.

The emperor tried to calmly say: "The Seven Emperors and younger brothers and sisters have selflessly offered their prescriptions and cared for the people of the world. It is a great righteousness and a blessing of great prosperity. I am also very pleased..."

The emperor said some high-sounding words in an understatement, and rewarded Chu You and his concubine Li Yunxie with a thousand taels of gold as a reward. Chu You thanked the concubine on behalf of the concubine.

The officials below had their own thoughts and were in no mood to discuss other court affairs. After that, the emperor left the court early.

After the emperor left, Chu You became the center surrounded by everyone, and even Xiao Shoufu and other cabinet veterans came forward to greet him politely.

At first glance, the hall is full of joy.

In the blue sky outside the hall, the sun is hidden behind the thick clouds, and the breeze blows into the hall, and there seems to be a faint salty smell in the air.

The sky seems to be changing.

As soon as the emperor came to court, he immediately sent Xuan Fengyang into the palace, and handed over the prescription presented by Chu You to Fengyang.

"Aunt Huang, take a look."

The emperor was preoccupied, and walked around the room with a complicated expression, as if he was thinking about something, and he seemed to be venting his emotions.

After a while, he heard Fengyang's affirmative voice behind him:

"This is real."

Fengyang can determine this.

Her understanding of penicillin is what she heard from Taizu herself. Although her memory is long, she still remembers some key points. For example, what she told Gu Yanfei before, penicillin is extracted from Penicillium penicillium. Penicillin can be extracted, and penicillin cannot be taken orally.

The emperor turned around when he heard the words, his old eyes were a little ecstatic, and it was hard to hide his excitement.

When he was young, he served the Taizu sick, and accidentally knocked over the medicine bowl. He once turned over a few pages of "Taizu Handbook", and those pages happened to mention penicillin. At that time, he was busy wiping the decoction on the paper, but just read I just glanced at it twice, my memory is not deep, and I can't write it silently. I only know that the prescription presented by Li Yunxie is very similar to what is written in the handbook.

Feng Yang pointed to the end of the prescription and said: "Taizu once said that penicillin is not perfect, it will be fatal to some people, and there is no cure."

"This prescription mentioned an allergic reaction, ranging from dermatitis rash, asthma attack, to rapid heart rate, convulsions, coma, and even cardiac arrest. But only a very small number of people will have allergic reactions."

The two statements are similar.

The emperor came over and sat down beside Feng Yang, with only a small square coffee table between the aunt and nephew.

The emperor took a sip of his tea before calming down a bit, and said, "Auntie, what do you think? Will the "Taizu Handbook" be in the hands of Princess Kang?"

Feng Yang didn't directly answer yes or no, he was silent for a moment, then changed the subject:

"Everyone in the world says that Taizu was extremely talented. The content recorded in that handbook can make Dajing even better. One day, my Dajing will be able to send troops to the south and unify the north and the south."

Feng Yang said "people of the world", but in his heart he was thinking of the late emperor.

That's what the late emperor thought, and that's why he was so attached to the "Taizu Handbook". Even in his view, the two Northern Expeditions of the Yue Kingdom fifteen years ago and nine years ago were also because the Taizu didn't write the "Taizu Handbook". "Letter" is left to him, otherwise there is nothing to fear in the mere South Vietnam.

The first emperor said similar words more than once after being extremely angry or drunk several times.

Feng Yang sighed deeply, and continued: "When the Taizu was old, he asked me, which would be more dangerous if a kitchen knife or a flintlock gun were given to two five or six-year-old children respectively?" ?”

The answer is obvious.

Five or six-year-old children can't kill adults with a kitchen knife, but a flintlock can!

"Taizu said that Dajing is like a five or six-year-old boy who left the letter to the late emperor, which is equivalent to handing over a flintlock gun and a priceless rare treasure to a child, and he is guilty of committing crimes. , will definitely attract the covetousness of wolves, and if one is not careful, it will not only hurt others, but also hurt yourself."

"This is what the old man has spent his whole life trying to understand."

In fact, the Taizu had told the late emperor these words, but the late emperor was too horny and couldn't listen to anything at all. The late emperor believed that the great ancestor had left her the letter.

Feng Yang closed his eyes, tried his best to calm down the turbulent emotions in his body, then looked at the prescription in his hand, and read it word by word, as if he wanted to chew every word carefully.

The emperor stared blankly at the cloud-covered blue sky outside the window, and also thought about Emperor Taizu, his great achievements, his earnest teaching, and his love for himself...

One of Fengyang's hands trembled suddenly.

She felt her heart twitch violently, and there was a dull pain in her chest that seemed to be crushed by a heavy object. Her face turned pale instantly, and even her lips lost their blood.

The emerald bracelet on her left hand was slightly hot, and a stream of light passed by quickly, and it was fleeting.

"Your Highness, the First Prince." There was a soft salute from the servants outside.

After a while, the door curtain was lifted from the other side, and Chu Yi, who was dressed in an apricot-yellow prince's python robe, came in from the outside, walking at a leisurely pace.

Feng Yang's hand was still pinching the tissue paper, and he couldn't care about Chu Yi at all.

She only felt severe pain all over her body, from the outside to the inside, as if her bones were cramped, and her whole body was weak and weak.

Her eyes darkened, and she fell forward feebly...
