106 Drink more hot water
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty
Bao Zheng was deeply moved upon hearing Lin Ke's words. Someone actually cared about him, Old Bao! Pshaw! What Old Bao?!
It must be because Miss Lin talked too much about Old Wang and Little Cai!
Ahem, it's unbelievable that someone would change their surname to Bao because they admire me, Bao Zheng!
But why doesn't Miss Lin elaborate on that?
……
Lin Ke was unaware of Bao Zheng's thoughts in that timeline. She continued, "However, throughout the entire history of the Song Dynasty, the military achievements during the reign of Emperor Zhezong were always particularly outstanding."
There's a saying: "It's not that I'm afraid of an emperor who is mediocre, it's that I'm afraid of an emperor who is both cowardly and incompetent." This saying is quite apt in describing some emperors of the Song Dynasty.
"Therefore, Emperor Zhezong is also known as one of the most spirited emperors of the Song Dynasty."
"So, there has never been an emperor who, when the enemy was about to besiege the city, did not choose to resist with force, but instead chose to believe in some kind of ritual performed by a sorcerer. As a result, the capital was breached, the two emperors were captured, and all the concubines and princesses in the palace became prisoners of the Jurchens. I don't need to say more, you can all understand what their fate would be!"
"You attacked the Western Xia, so why send them back?! And you're arguing about it endlessly, what's the point?! All you ever do is suppress this and suppress that!"
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: This is absolutely absurd! The emperor has been captured!
General Judy, the Northern Expeditionary Army: The shame of Jingkang remains unavenged. The hatred of the subjects, when will it end! Just thinking about it makes my teeth itch with rage!
First Emperor: ...Is this something an emperor should do? ...It's utterly disgraceful!
During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Northern Song Dynasty
Zhao Kuangyin's anger surged from his feet to his head, his eyes twitched, and his face was contorted with rage that seemed ready to explode at the slightest provocation. He gritted his teeth and asked Zhao Pu, who was still in shock beside him, "This is the emperor of my Great Song Dynasty!? He deserves to die! How dare he be captured? Why doesn't he just die?! ...%/?...
Zhao Pu's lips moved. He couldn't believe that a king would do such a thing, placing his hopes on a sorcerer without any resistance. No one could do such a thing!
Zhao Pu was still considering how to persuade His Majesty when Zhao Kuangyin suddenly stood up and said with a forced smile, "Ha, that grandson is Zhao Guangyi's son. I'll kill him. I don't believe that any new emperor can do a worse job than him!"
Before Zhao Pu could stop him, Zhao Kuangyin drew a large sword from a guard and headed straight for the Empress Dowager's palace.
……
Meanwhile, in other timelines, Song Dynasty emperors, and even ordinary people, all knew about this emperor's actions.
They were all furious. What sins had they committed to deserve this emperor?
Damn it, is there any hope for them?!
……
Lin Ke knew that her words were like a bomb that had exploded in the hearts of the Song Dynasty people, but if this could awaken those in power and civil officials, then it would be good!
She gave them a few minutes to process what she had said, and then continued, "I've already talked about the war between the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty, so I won't go into details here."
"The war between Western Xia and Song ended in defeat, and Lü Huiqing deserves some credit for this."
"Speaking of this person, although many people dislike him, it must be said that Lü Huiqing has a tenacity. Even when he was demoted during the Yuanyou era, he still wanted to make a comeback and was eager to serve the country. He would not even drink cold water on weekdays. If he caught a cold and became seriously ill, people would say that he died in depression, which he would never accept."
"But to be honest, you really can't drink cold water. Although boiling water was quite troublesome back then, you should drink hot water if you can, especially water from wild sources. I'll show you!"
Lin Ke flicked his fingers a few times, and then everyone from different dynasties saw a video on the screen showing a child first drinking some water by the river, then skipping and hopping home. Then the scene changed to what looked like a school, where something resembling a pagoda was displayed.
Then the child ate it, and soon the scene changed again, seemingly to an outhouse, and then they all saw that there were worms wriggling in that lump! And they were long and thin ones!!!
The people in Wanchaozhong nearly fainted from fright. How could there be worms in a person's body?!
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty
On this day, Su Shi was listening intently to Lin Ke's live broadcast when he suddenly heard the sound of raindrops falling outside the window.
Seeing this, Su Shi went outside and drank a few drops of rainwater, believing that drinking it consistently would be good for his health!
However, when he returned to watch Lin Ke's live stream, it happened to be showing those wriggling, thin nematodes.
At this moment, Su Shi thought: ...How disgusting! Damn, I feel like throwing up.
……
“Water sources in the wild are prone to parasites. These invisible insects can enter the body through the water, which may cause symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain.”
Lin Ke swiped her phone a few more times, using the points she had earned to purchase a batch of medicine for preventing and treating parasites, as well as pagoda-shaped sugar pills. Then she added, "I've put the treatment medicine in the system shop, so you can buy it yourselves later!"
A soldier from the Ming Dynasty: I'll buy several more portions then; I've drunk water from the wild several times!
Judy, the Great General Who Conquers the North: Damn it, it's disgusting to think about!
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: How can it be so long?!
Big-Handed Liu Zhuzhu: Hey upstairs, stop talking!! It's disgusting!
……
"Alright, now that we've covered that, let's get back to the main topic. Even after Zhang Dun gained real power, he didn't forget his good friend Lü Huiqing. However, there were quite a few people who disliked him, so Zhang Dun had no choice but to place him on the border and bring him back to the capital later if he made any contributions."
"However, it was thanks to the kind-hearted Zhang Dun that Lü Huiqing was able to take off later!"
"However, the highlight of the expansion of the borders during the reign of Emperor Zhezong was the Jingyuan Road area, which was led by Zhang Jie, Zhang Dun's cousin."
"The Western Xia mobilized the entire nation to attack the Song Dynasty because it knew that if it did not fight, the dozens of fortresses on the Song Dynasty's border would gradually erode the Western Xia, but it still ended in defeat."
