Volume 2: Hongzhi Zhongxing Chapter 62 Awakening

Early the next morning, Queen Zhang woke up first. Because she was pregnant, she only had a simple heart-to-heart talk with Zhu Youtang last night. It wasn't until the early morning that Zhu Youtang fell into a drowsy state.

Fell asleep.

After Empress Zhang put on her clothes, she opened the door of Kunning Palace and whispered to the maids and eunuchs outside the door: "From now on, stop all the work at hand and speak in a lower voice. The emperor is sleeping inside. Who is it?"

If she wakes up the emperor, I will cut her tongue!"

The palace ladies and eunuchs always knew the queen's temperament, so they nodded one after another for fear of disturbing the emperor's rest inside.

It wasn't until midnight that Zhu Youtang woke up. Zhu Youtang rubbed his eyes sleepily and shouted: "Queen? Queen?"

Hearing the sound, a little palace maid came running in. The little palace maid said softly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has gone to the Shangshan Prison. Does your Majesty have any instructions?"

Zhu Youtang sat up and looked at the little palace maid in front of him carefully. Seeing her delicate appearance, he asked: "Why are you going to the Shangshan Supervisor? It seems that you are not very old. Where are you from?"

The little palace maid bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, the empress asked the supervisor to prepare some special dishes from her hometown for the emperor at noon. The empress went to supervise them personally. This servant is from Huqiu, Suzhou."

"Well... only Jiangnan can raise a person as smart as you. Do you know that the queen is pregnant?" Zhu Youtang asked while putting on his shoes.

The little palace maid replied: "I am new here, and I just heard about this happy event not long ago."

"This is my first child. You must take good care of the queen. If you have any questions, you can go to Qianqing Palace directly to see me. Okay, you have nothing to do here. Go out and call Li Guang outside the door.

Come in."

After the little palace maid bowed and left, Li Guang trotted in: "Your Majesty, your servant is here."

Zhu Youtang didn't even look at Li Guang, and directly ordered: "Go and call the imperial doctor for me."

Who would have thought that Li Guang, the eunuch who had great power in the inner court in history, would now be treated like a dog by Zhu Youtang?



After lunch, the imperial hospital heard the emperor's summons and came directly to the three most famous imperial doctors in the palace. One of them was Liu Wentai, who was known as the "dragon-slaying warrior".

Liu Wentai, a native of Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, served as Youtongzheng during the Chenghua period and was also responsible for managing the affairs of Tai Hospital. He was also the general responsible for the forty-two volumes of "The Essence of Materia Medica". This man was obsessed with power and often used

He communicates with ministers from various ministries and delivers gifts at each door, but his medical skills, which are his bread and butter, are inferior to those of his colleagues!

In his later years, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jianshen, was devastated by the death of Concubine Wan Guifei. He overeated and drank all day long. One day, Emperor Chenghua Zhu Jianshen probably had a bad stomach and some diarrhea. It was such a minor illness that he would be cured naturally after some treatment.

Well. But Liu Wentai was nursed to death by Emperor Chenghua. Logically speaking, this was a proper medical accident and a serious crime of beheading. However, the successor Emperor Hongzhi was also a good man and did not kill him. However, Emperor Hongzhi Wan

He never imagined that he would die in the hands of Liu Wentai like his father eighteen years later.

In 1505 AD, which was the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi was busy with state affairs and fell ill with fever. Liu Wentai, the imperial physician who had killed Emperor Chenghua, was not only alive and well now, but also got involved with the eunuch Zhang Yu and sat in the imperial palace.

The second-in-command of the hospital. After Ming Xiaozong got sick, he ordered Zhang Yu to discuss the treatment plan with the Taiyuan Hospital. Zhang Yu did not follow the routine process, but directly went to Liu Wentai and Gao Tinghe, who were close to him, and prescribed medicine without any diagnosis.

.As a result, the medicines prescribed by several people were not suitable for the government. Emperor Hongzhi took the medicine and his nose bleeding continued, and he eventually died in Qianqing Palace.

Why are the imperial doctors of the Ming Dynasty so mediocre? This starts with its system. The imperial doctors in the imperial hospital of the Ming Dynasty are hereditary. Your grandfather is an imperial physician and your father is an imperial physician. If you are an imperial physician, your son will also be an imperial physician. As long as nothing happens,

A big accident can be passed down forever. In other words: who is an imperial physician does not depend on private search, recommendations from others, reputation, etc. It just depends on your family background, not on your medical skills and how many people you have cured.

Word of mouth. Too many hospitals have cured too many diseases, saved too few people, and their practical experience is really not enough.

Maybe they originally thought that medical skills would be passed down from generation to generation, and experience would be taught from ancient books to one generation, etc. The level would definitely be higher and stronger, and all difficult and complicated diseases could be solved. But they did not expect that "practice makes true knowledge", and copying it by rote is completely

No, individual conditions are different, and treatment methods and methods are naturally different. This can be seen by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

I saw Liu Wentai surrounding Queen Zhang, checking her pulse and looking left and right, looking very professional.

"How is the Queen?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, I think you are already pregnant for more than a month. According to my observation, your Majesty has recently been restless, in a bad mood, and has poor digestion. I will wait until I prescribe a medicine to soothe the nerves and repair the fetus, and take it for half a month."

After finishing speaking, Liu Wentai looked at Zhu Youtang from time to time. He vaguely felt that the emperor in front of him looked very good and his body seemed to be much stronger than before.

Zhu Youtang witnessed the whole process of imperial physician Liu Wentai taking the medicine. When they left, Zhu Youtang picked up the prescription and looked at it carefully, his eyes revealing murderous intent:

"Go, make a few copies of this prescription and give it to Mou Bin to check. Go to the capital to ask a few famous doctors and doctors to see if there are any problems. Also go to the private sector to find a few famous doctors and doctors who have the knowledge.

When an experienced midwife enters the palace, let her stay in the palace to take care of the queen. If the delivery goes well, I will reward you heavily. If anything goes wrong, I will punish her from the Nine Clan!"

After Zhu Youtang returned to Qianqing Palace, Yanhai was already waiting for him with a stack of memorials.

"He Ding has been gone for some time. How is it? Is there any news about Chuan's return? I don't know how the imperial village around the capital is doing."

Yanhai placed a thick pile of memorials on the dragon table, and while making tea for Zhu Youtang, he said happily: "Back to the emperor, Eunuch He sent a letter yesterday, saying that the imperial villages near the capital are very good, and the fields are very good.

It's also very fertile. He also has news that he will return to the palace to secretly report to the emperor in person, saying that the memorial is inconvenient."

Zhu Youtang laughed and said: "This old guy is starting to play tricks. It turns out that humans are all transformed from monkeys! How is Wynn doing? I heard that he is sick. Why hasn't he recovered after such a long time?"

Yanhai carefully placed the brewed tea on the table for Zhu Youtang, and said with a sad look on his face: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Huai's situation is not optimistic. He has recently taken the imperial doctor's medicine, and his illness seems to be getting worse."

"Huaien is old! I have been busy with state affairs recently, so I haven't visited him. The imperial doctors are all quacks. I'm afraid they can cure Huaien to death!" Hearing this, Zhu Youtang slammed the table and sighed.

.

Seeing that Zhu Youtang was suddenly angry, Yanhai hurriedly approached and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please calm down! How would you like to try the tea I brewed today?"

Zhu Youtang took Yanhai's tea, took a sip, his eyes lit up, and praised: "Hmm...good tea, I made it well today, I have to reward you!"

When Yanhai heard Zhu Youtang praising him, he smiled even more and couldn't close his mouth. He said: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty is willing, I am willing to make tea for you for the rest of my life."

"Hahaha, you have learned to be glib. Have you read today's memorial?" Zhu Youtang suddenly became serious after laughing.

Yanhai picked out a few memorials from a pile and said: "Your Majesty, these three memorials were written by Han Junyan, the Minister of War, and the outermost one was written by Peng Shao, the censor of salt inspection in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

Zhu Youtang looked surprised and asked again: "Han Junyan wrote three memorials in a row? What did they say?"

"Your Majesty, all officials are impeached. One of them is to impeach the cabinet minister, one is to impeach the six ministers, and the other is to impeach the local officials."

Zhu Youtang narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I just finished talking to him yesterday, and he submitted three memorials this morning. It seems that he had an epiphany!"

It is said that there are three things that make new officials take office, and Han Junyan is also like this. After yesterday's conversation, Han Junyan went home and faced the wall and suddenly had an epiphany. He felt that he had failed too much as the deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the past twelve years. Just like this, the emperor still

Let him continue to hold the title of Minister of War and give him the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. For this reason, he should also cheer up and become an official again; he should expose the darkness of the court; he should eliminate relatives in a righteous way; he should collect money from those who have stains.

All the officials should be impeached and punished with canonical punishment!

Zhu Youtang read the third memorial written by Han Junyan from beginning to end. The impeached officials in it actually involved Wang Yue, the northwest governor he had just appointed.

Wang Yue was a famous general in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. He was appointed to be the commander-in-chief of Gansu, the governor of Liangbian, and the governor of Yan and Ning. Now he was impeached not long after he took office. If he was going to fight in the bloody battlefield, his colleagues in the rear would impeach him, and the emperor would investigate.

What will he and Wang Yue think when they find out?

Although Wang Yue was proud of being a hero, arrogant and self-possessed, he was hated by people of etiquette and law. His food and drink offerings imitated those of a king, and he enjoyed hunting and singing to his heart's content. But this man had two skills in fighting, and he was a ruthless man, unlike any other famous hero in history.

No minor problems?

Zhu Youtang sneered and said: "Except for Wang Yue, the governor of the northwest, the rest of this memorial is for Mou Bin to investigate. If there is any evidence of impeachment, let's arrest and investigate directly!"

Zhu Youtang flipped through the second memorial and saw that Liu Dang was impeached from beginning to end. It included Li Guang, the Minister of Rites, Wei Zhang, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, Lu Ling, the left minister of the Ministry of War, and Zou Mo, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

There are still a lot of things to do in various departments. These people have formed a party, and their influence can affect the whole body, so they must be dealt with carefully.

Zhu Youtang then issued an edict: "I want to quietly circulate Han Junyan's impeachment memorial. I want to see what the Minister of War, whom the Liu Party had so painstakingly elected, has come back to bite them. What do they think?"

If you get angry and deal with these people directly, you will play into their hands. These people all regard themselves as clean-blooded people, who is not an old fox? There are many disciples in the place, if you kill them directly, public opinion will say that I am

A foolish king accidentally kills his loyal ministers. It is better to be patient and fatten them up, and then kill them after the Beijing News is organized and public opinion is grasped.
