AD 725 was the 13th year of the founding of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
The people had enough food and clothing, and a dou of rice cost 15 yuan. From this we can get a glimpse of how well Tang Xuanzong governed the country in his early days.
Yang Mansion
Groups of maids were waiting outside the door, holding soups and medicines.
The smell of medicine filled the room, making it suffocating.
A basin of charcoal fire kept burning.
The doctor was feeling the pulse, and his fingers kept moving his face, sometimes feeling happy or worried.
Instructing the servants to make a bowl of soup and medicine, the doctor's hand trembled slightly while serving the medicine. The sweat on his face rolled down like beans, which frightened the maid outside the door.
The bowl containing the medicine cracked with a "bang" sound, and the medicine juice spread all over the floor.
"What on earth are you going to do?..." Holding the boy's chin, the man in his early 30s asked impatiently when he saw the concoction on the ground.
"Father, I don't want to drink these!" Cried the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy whose chin was pinched and turned blue.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" This sentence came out of his mouth through gritted teeth, the man's tone was sad.
"Father, you know!" The sadness in his eyes was not like the look of a child.
"You all get down!" The man yelled.
"Do you know the consequences of not drinking?" The man asked, putting down the boy.
"It's just me dying... But that's better than relying on others all the time!" The boy looked at the curtain and laughed at himself.
