"What!" Zhang Yong suddenly stood up and shouted to a eunuch in green who had his head lowered in front of him.
"Old Ancestor, I followed your instructions and went to the Taiyuan Hospital to retrieve the files. Only when I went to the hospital did I find out that except for this month, there were no files from May and June that the bus had sent to the Taiyuan Hospital.
The house where these files were stored caught fire for unknown reasons a month ago, and was burned to ashes, almost killing people. These are the files from this month!"
"I want these to be of no use!" Zhang Yong was a little irritated and opened the file handed over by the eunuch. This sudden rage made the eunuch's heart beat fast and he didn't know what he had done wrong.
"Get out!" He waved his hand to dismiss the little eunuch, and Zhang Yong sat down.
How long has it been since I felt that someone was plotting against me everywhere? It seems that ever since Liu Jin was executed, he, Zhang Yong, has been very proud and everything is going well. He has been telling himself to be careful and not to be too arrogant. Where can Liu Jin learn from his mistakes?
It's fine, but now it seems that no matter how careful he is, he still can't avoid the trouble that will come.
In his heart, the emperor is first, the nobles in the palace are second, and as for the foreign ministers, they are third. His wealth, future, honor and disgrace are tied to the royal family. But
Now, it is clear that he accidentally fell into a fight in the palace. No matter how loyal he is to the royal family, in the eyes of those who play chess, he, Zhang Yong, is just a more important chess piece.
That’s all.
Qian Wubing was the elder brother of Concubine Jing. The person who provoked him to fight could be someone other than someone in the palace who didn't like Concubine Jing. And until now, he still couldn't believe that that person who didn't care about foreign affairs and only wanted to
The Queen Mother, who lives an ordinary life, will be the mastermind of this matter! In the palace, there is no third person who can instigate him, except the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Moreover, it is not that he underestimates the Queen, in
In this matter, the queen was afraid that she was not capable of this kind of watertight planning and accurate timing.
If the Queen was secretly causing trouble, he might still believe that Concubine Jing was now a threat to the Queen's position. It was understandable that the Queen had taken these self-protective measures. However, when he got rid of the two imperial doctors, the Queen Mother personally hinted at him.
, how is this possible?
"No!" He stood up suddenly and walked out. I have to go see the Queen Mother. I have fallen too deep into this matter and can't get it out. I'm afraid that in the eyes of Princess Jing, it's too much money.
In Wu Bing's eyes, he could no longer escape his involvement. Even if he had to be the scapegoat, he still had to be a clear ghost.
The small courtyard where the Queen Mother lives is green and green. The weather in September has already reached the fruit harvest season. If it were an ordinary house, these green fruits and vegetables would fill the courtyard with the harvest scene. I am afraid that every one of them would be exhausted.
If you don't want to smile from ear to ear, at least you don't have to spend money to buy the seasonal vegetables and fruits on the table.
However, the greatest value of these fruits and vegetables here is that they grow there for people to appreciate. Of course, occasionally Queen Mother Zhang will pick some herself and then go to the kitchen to make a few side dishes. However, she is lucky enough to be able to
There are only a few people in the world who have tasted her craftsmanship.
When Zhang Yong walked in, Queen Mother Zhang was sitting on a chair in front of the eaves drinking tea. Under his feet was a basket of beans with shells. Apparently, before Zhang Yong came in, she was shelling the beans.
.
"My slave, please pay your respects to the Queen Mother!" Zhang Yong stepped forward to kowtow.
Empress Dowager Zhang raised her head with a smile and said, "You came just in time. I was worried about how to finish all these beans. When you leave later, I will bring you a few kilograms and fry them over low heat. They are very fragrant!"
"
Zhang Yong thanked him again. This is a gift and a favor. How many people in the world can eat the beans grown by the Queen Mother herself? What a minister like him lacks is not gold and silver, but this kind of grace!
"Didn't you come here to enjoy the autumn breeze when you saw a good harvest in my garden?" Queen Mother Zhang was in a good mood. "You are a slave. If you don't serve His Majesty when you have nothing to do, you come to me, an old woman. Why do I think you have nothing to do?"
It’s not like the Three Treasures Palace!”
Zhang Yong was a little hesitant. There was someone else around the Queen Mother. He didn't know if they were the Queen Mother's confidants.
"Tell me, I can see that something is wrong with you!" Queen Mother Zhang put down the tea bowl in her hand.
Just say it, you will have to say it sooner or later anyway! Zhang Yongxin said: "I just want to report to the Queen Mother that Min Hai and Cui Songhou died a month ago due to improper eating!"
"Improper eating?" Queen Mother Zhang frowned: "What kind of death is this? It sounds strange, but who are these two people!"
"These two are the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital!" Zhang Yong didn't know whether the queen mother knew what she was asking, so he answered honestly: "I only found out recently that these two imperial doctors have superb medical skills, so they went like this. It's really...
What a pity!”
"Wait a minute!" Queen Mother Zhang is such a human being. When Xiaozong was still alive, she didn't even know how many times she had helped her husband handle government affairs. With Zhang Yong's current status, she suddenly came over like this without a clue.
Reporting the death of the two imperial doctors, it would be strange if there is nothing fishy about it!
"Why are you telling me this?" The smile on her face slowly faded.
Zhang Yong's heart sank. It seemed that the Queen Mother was completely unwilling to admit the matter. Thinking of this, his mouth was slightly bitter. If the Queen Mother did not admit the matter, then Zhang Yong would naturally be the main messenger of the matter.
He has to take the blame, whether he takes it or not.
"I thought that the Queen Mother would be happy to hear this!" Zhang Yong lowered his head and said, "I deserve to be punished for disturbing the Queen Mother's pleasure. I will resign immediately!"
After saying that, Zhang Yong lowered his head and was about to exit.
"Stop!" Empress Dowager Zhang said with a serious face: "There are two types of people I hate the most in my life. One is the nerds who talk in a mysterious way, and the other is a slave like you who talks half-heartedly. Come back here, what the hell?
Please tell me clearly what's going on. Two imperial doctors have died. What's the big deal? It's worth your while to come to my place!"
The Queen Mother refused to let him go, even if Zhang Yongsheng had three heads, six arms and four legs, he would not be able to get out of the courtyard. At some point, two female officials appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, standing there, looking at Zhang Yong coldly.
Zhang Yong smiled bitterly and raised his head: "What does the Queen Mother want the servant to do? Please make it clear to the Queen Mother. The servant is old. If he misunderstands the Queen Mother's instructions, he will die no matter how many times. He will not be able to redeem his sins."
!”
"What did I order you?" Empress Dowager Zhang's good mood had already disappeared at this moment: "Could it be that the death of those two imperial doctors, you, the slave, thought it was my order?"
As soon as she thought about it, she immediately figured out why Zhang Yong said this. No wonder those two imperial doctors were so creative and didn't eat properly? Huh, these slaves spend their minds on these things and don't care about anything serious.
Quit!
Zhang Yong lowered his head and stopped talking. This meant that he acquiesced.
Empress Dowager Zhang laughed angrily and said, "Okay, okay, you slave, come to me and tell me this matter from beginning to end. I dare you that someone in this palace deceives Your Majesty into thinking that he is not in the palace all year round."
No one here can cure them anymore, they really treat me as a decoration!"
Zhang Yong had no way out at this time. In front of the furious Queen Mother, he had no other idea except to bite the bullet and repeat the incident exactly as it was. In the end, he finally understood the error of the Queen Mother's hint and only
It can be regarded as incompetence, but this is not a crime that requires death.
"You mean, what I told you that day when I, the Queen, and my two younger brothers Shouning Hou Jianchang Bo were eating here while you were waiting on them?"
"Yes, Queen Mother!" Zhang Yong replied honestly: "I still remember clearly what the Queen Mother said at that time. Queen Mother, you said, 'Such quack doctors who mislead others and themselves will be a disaster if they remain in the world!
', I thought it was the Queen Mother's decree, so I went to do it!"
Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, obviously recalling the scene at that small family banquet. On that day, the empress accompanied her in her yard to serve the vegetables, and her two younger brothers came into the palace to see her. It was indeed like
She was the one who left the meal. As for what was said during the dinner, she really can't remember clearly. However, her brothers all know her temper. She likes to hear her talk about family affairs. If she talks about the court,
It's a big deal, she will definitely be unhappy!
"Even if it was my order, why did you just think of reporting back today!" Her tone was softer. Although Zhang Yong was in trouble, he was still loyal, so she couldn't be too harsh.
Zhang Yong went on to report that the records of Tai Hospital were burned, the people who handled the work were controlled by Jin Yiwei, and even the two murder cases in the past half month, all details were reported. Then, he stood quietly
He stepped aside and no longer disturbed Queen Mother Zhang's thoughts.
Even he was a little unsure about the Queen Mother's attitude. He had misunderstood the Queen Mother's meaning, or the Queen Mother had forgotten about it. However, if that was the case, what happened next was unreasonable.
It was obvious that someone had been watching the development of this matter and was constantly pushing for it. Moreover, in his heart, he had a vague feeling that he was not the only one who was being used as a gunman. It seemed that the Queen Mother was also being used as a gunman.
Well, at least in the whole thing, he couldn't see any benefit to the Queen Mother. If Zhang Yong and Qian Wubing fought, and Xichang and Jinyiwei fought, what good would it do to the Queen Mother? Even if the Queen Mother didn't like respect,
Concubine, how can Concubine Jing still threaten the Queen Mother? Your Majesty is the most filial person today.
"Nowadays, in addition to taking care of the affairs in the palace, you are also in charge of the West Factory, right?" After a long time, Queen Mother Zhang said slowly.
"Back to the Queen Mother, this is Your Majesty's grace!" Zhang Yong replied.
"Let me find out what these two imperial doctors Cui are from, Xichang. I want to know what they have done!"
