After working hard at Cui's house for a few days, I finally got some results.
The next day, Du He quietly left Qinghe and headed to Taiyuan City, the land of Longxing in the Tang Dynasty. The ancients have always believed that no matter how high their status is and how broad their vision is, they are no exception. Therefore, both Li Yuan and Li Shimin attach great importance to the birthplace of their business.
All the cities in the Tang Dynasty were headed by Chang'an and Luoyang, followed by Taiyuan.
As the third largest city in the Tang Dynasty, it has a different flavor from Chang'an and Luoyang.
Taiyuan is located in the north, close to the Great Wall. Except for business travelers from other places, most of the pedestrians coming and going are northern athletes. They are tall and burly, and their customs are completely different from other places.
The Wang family is located in Taiyuan City. Compared with the scholarly atmosphere of Qinghe, the Wang family in Taiyuan is a bit more strong. Although the children of the Wang family are mainly interested in literature, due to local customs, they are not opposed to the practice of martial arts. Because of this, most of the famous figures from the Wang family in history were people who practiced literature and martial arts and were heroic and heroic. Among them, the most famous frontier poets Wang Han and Wang Changling were one of them.
Wang Han's "Liangzhou Ci", Wang Changling's "Out of the Fortress", one sentence "Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times!" and another sentence "As long as the flying generals in the dragon city are there, I don't teach Hu Ma Duyi to fly." His literary talent and his courage span both ancient and modern times.
But compared to the Cui family, the Wang family is still slightly inferior overall, even though it is the largest family in Taiyuan. There is a constant flow of people in front of the Wang family, but there is still a difference between being first and not first. Just like the parents of later generations, if they could, they would rather spend several times more money to send their children to the first prestigious school. The same is true for the ancients. The appeal of the first aristocratic family in seeking knowledge cannot be ignored.
"No wonder Cui Zhongping was willing to take such risks in order to preserve the First Family."
Du He still pretended to be a student and found an inn to stay in Taiyuan.
This time, because he had a main target, it was much easier for Du He to act. He was no longer like a fly looking aimlessly.
He set his sights on "Bian Que Shen Pian", perhaps because the northerners were more brave and the Wang family's defense was better than that of the Cui family. But for Du He, this defense is still not enough.
On the top of the eaves, according to the old method, he locked several pavilions that may be study rooms without any effort, and successfully sneaked into the study room.
The study room of the Wang family is a bit inferior to that of the Cui family. The Wang family has many famous ancestors, including Wang Jian of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Dao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy. However, it cannot be compared with the prime ministers of the Cui family. From the Han Dynasty to the present, there have been more than fifty prime ministers in the Cui family.
Du He went straight to the medical classics, searched carefully in the lists on the right side of several bookshelves, and found "Bian Que Shen Pian" in the list on the right side of the third bookshelf. Correspondingly, "Bian Que Shen Pian" is in the sixth empty space on the fifth floor of this bookshelf.
He was overjoyed and came to the corresponding seat. As expected, he saw "Bian Que Shen Pian". Two ancient bamboo slips were lying quietly on the bookshelf The dried bamboo slips and the ancient smell made Du He's heart tremble. Tremble. He quickly reached out to a bamboo slip and looked at it carefully.
Du He did not know whether this "Bian Que Shen Pian" was written by the famous doctor Bian Que, but the handwriting on the bamboo slips is indeed the large seal script of that era.
Dazhuan is a unified font of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Because the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty was getting lower and lower, the countries were separated. Over time, the original same fonts changed in various countries, but the source of the characters in each country is the same. When Du He came to this era, he had come into contact with many ancient books and had also learned about seal script characters. He was not troubled by ordinary uncommon characters, and he did not have much problem reading "Bian Que Shen Pian".
He read the bamboo slips in his hand carefully from beginning to end. There was no record of the "Blood Ring Fruit". He patiently took another volume, but in the end, there was still no record
Du He put "Bian Que Shen Pian" back to its original position and whispered: "How could this happen? Was I wrong from the beginning? The record of "Blood Ring Fruit" is not in "Bian Que Shen Pian" at all? "Inadvertently, his eyes fell on the bookshelf. Regarding the records of "Bian Que Shen Pian": "Bian Que Shen Pian" is a masterpiece written by the miracle doctor Bian Que during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower. Techniques, the middle part talks about medicines, and the second part talks about various conditions in the world and difficult and complicated diseases.
Du He was startled at first, and then he realized that he had only read the first and second chapters, but the middle one was nowhere to be found. It just so happened that this article was about "Theory of Medicine" and the "Blood Ring Fruit" must be among them. Because it was of great importance, I hid it separately.
Du He is most worried about this situation. It is too easy for the huge Wang family to hide a book, but when he wants to find the book, it is like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Is there any way to get Wang Gu to take out the book by himself?" This idea suddenly came to Du He's mind. He remembered that among the thirty-six strategies, there was one to alert the snake, which was to use a weapon to frighten the snake.Use each other's weak points to expose their own shortcomings
"No, Wang Gu is very scheming, and he is definitely not a good person. If he scares the snake, it will really frighten the snake and let him destroy the middle chapter of "Bian Que Shen Pian". Then the gain will outweigh the loss. This is the next best thing to do. Use it when you have to.¡±
"There should be a better way?"
Du He couldn't think of anything for a moment and evacuated the Wang family first. After a long nap, it was already dawn. Du He opened the window, stretched out, and looked out the window. There were people coming and going on the street, and the traffic flowed continuously. He washed up and ordered some breakfast in the living room of the inn. While eating, he listened to the chatter of the scholars around him, trying to hear if there was any news that could be used.
Soon Du He was attracted by the news that Wang Jie, the third young master of the Wang family, was back.
Wang Jie is the third son of Wang Gu, the head of the Wang family. He is a child prodigy of the Wang family. He has been known to Taiyuan since he was nine years old. He is the future star of the Wang family and is also the examiner of this year's imperial examination.
Now the Tang Dynasty pays more and more attention to the imperial examination. Except for second-generation officials like Du He, who do not need to be promoted through the imperial examination, the imperial examination has become the mainstream for others to be promoted, even families with five surnames are no exception. It is not easy to get third place among all the talented people in the world.
The Wang family has connections. As long as Wang Jie can take office, his political achievements will be better than those of the number two scholar ahead of him.
Du He thought about the information collected by Tayue Liuxiang. Wang Jie has been the treasure of the Wang family since he was a child. He is Wang Gu's favorite and most admired child.
Thinking of this, Du He smiled and thought about it.
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Today, the Wang family is particularly lively. The Wangjie Imperial High School is a great event that will bring glory to the family.
The imperial court suppressed the family members, and in order to prevent the things left by their ancestors from being destroyed by their own hands, and in order not to be squeezed out, the family members also tried their best to strengthen their own power, making the court jealous and not daring to attack them rashly.
Wang Gu happily hosted a banquet for his neighbors and invited great scholars from all over the world to build momentum for his three sons with great pomp.
The banquet is extraordinarily grand. As long as they are scholars and students, with a self-made couplet as a gift, they can enter the house to celebrate together.
The flowing banquet was arranged from the palace to the street, and became a sensational topic.
"Master, master"
Wang Gu is waiting in the hall to receive guests. Scholars have a good reputation. Every great Confucian scholar and famous scholar needs to be entertained by him personally.
At this time, seeing his servant interrupting his conversation with the distinguished guest, his face immediately softened: "How unbecoming is it to be so flustered" If it weren't for the fact that the person who came was an old steward who had been with him for many years, he would have immediately said Sweep it out.
The old housekeeper whispered in Wang Gu¡¯s ear.
Wang Gu was so shocked that he apologized to his friends around him and left in a hurry.
In a deserted place, Wang Gucai asked in a low voice: "How is Jie'er doing now?"
The news that the old housekeeper told him was that Wang Jie fell ill for no reason, was seriously abnormal, and was as angry as a thread.
The old housekeeper said anxiously: "I don't know what I'm doing. I suddenly felt dizzy and vomited, and vomited blood from time to time. My heart felt like a needle pricking me, and I had cramping pain in my abdomen. The pain was unbearable."
Wang Gu's heart trembled. Isn't this a sign of poisoning?
Wang Gu was a romantic figure in his early years. He fell in love with the daughter of a medical family. In order to win the beauty, he began to study medical skills and read medical classics. Unexpectedly, he got out of hand and really fell in love with this medicine. In the end, not only did he return home with a beautiful woman, he also acquired a superb medical skill.
Although he was unable to open a shop for medical treatment due to his status, he had a reputation as a famous doctor because of the large number of medical classics stored in his house. Although he lacks treatment experience, in terms of knowledge and ability to talk on paper, there is no one in Taiyuan who is better than him.
Hearing these symptoms, Wang Gu vaguely felt that he was poisoned.
Arriving at Wang Jie's room, Wang Jie was lying quietly on the hospital bed, his face was pale, and there were faint traces of blood on the corners of his mouth, as if he was dead.
The most brilliant doctor in Taiyuan is Zhang, Wang Gu¡¯s concubine. She is taking Wang Jie¡¯s pulse.
Zhang's eyes were red, and she glanced at Wang Gu solemnly and said, "Jie'er is poisoned. His pulse is confused and he has no clue. It can be seen that the poison is so powerful that it is unheard of and unseen."
Wang Gu's heart sank. His first wife died young, and Wang Jie was raised by Mrs. Zhang. Their relationship was like that of a biological mother and son. If it wasn't really serious, she would not say such things, and said hurriedly: " Is there a cure?"
Mrs. Zhang shook her head and sobbed: "Jie'er has already passed out. I don't dare to give a medicinal needle rashly before I know the poison. Who is the poison? It's so cruel"
As the head of the family, Wang Gu has a sophisticated city and is in a panic.He was confused and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, no matter who is the poisoner, I will find him out. But the top priority now is to remove the poison from Jie'er. Old housekeeper, go and kill all the people in Taiyuan Mansion." Invite the doctor and let them see if there is anything they can do. Madam, go check the medical dictionary in the house to see if there are any relevant records. Let's work separately Someone comes and takes all the medical records that came into contact with the third young master before he was poisoned. People, bring them all to me.
Wang Gu acted vigorously and resolutely according to the current situation, and immediately divided his troops into three groups.
Du He was on the eaves, listening to all this. He hesitated for a moment and followed Zhang Di quietly. ! .
