Wu Chengsi was shocked. Sun Simiao was a legendary figure who was called the King of Medicine in later generations. He was also very long-lived. According to records, he lived for more than 140 years.
Pulling out Wu Chengsi's memory, he found that Sun Simiao was indeed still alive and currently in Chang'an, but he seemed to be ill and had not seen outsiders for many years.
Zheng Lingxuan asked again: "How confident are you when the golden needle passes through the acupuncture point?"
Tang Ji snorted coldly: "I should be ten levels sure, but Sun Simiao is bedridden now. He can't even cure himself, let alone save others."
Master Tang An hurriedly said: "I heard that Sun Simiao passed on the secret technique of passing gold needles through acupuncture points to two people. If Mr. Wu wants to be more safe, he can go to them."
"Who are those two people?"
"One is Sun Simiao's great disciple, Liu Shenwei, the Imperial Medical Officer, and the other is Li Sikong of the current dynasty." Tang Anshi replied.
Wu Chengsi thought: "The Imperial Medical Office belongs to Taichang Temple, and Taichang Qing Cui Yixuan is full of doubts. He may be colluding with Xu Jingzong. It may not be safe to go to the Imperial Medical Office." He decided to go outside the city to find Li Ji.
Before leaving, Tang Ji gave the poisoned Korean a dose of medicine to prevent him from dying immediately. Then Wu Chengsi and others took him away from Seondeoktang and headed towards Gwanghwamun in the north of the city.
While walking on Guanghua Street, Wen Rong suddenly rode up from behind and said urgently: "My lord, something has happened. Please go back to the palace as soon as possible."
This was the first time Wu Chengsi saw Wen Rong looking so panicked, and he knew something urgent must have happened, probably related to Xu Jingzong.
"Miss Zheng, I will leave this person to you to be sent to the British government. I will go back to the government."
Zheng Lingxuan didn't ask any more questions, and simply nodded and said, "I understand." He led the carriage out of the city, and Wu Chengsi asked Han Cheng to follow him for protection before returning to the Duke's Mansion.
When they arrived at the inner hall, they saw nearly ten Wu family disciples standing or standing, all looking a little anxious.
After seeing Wu Chengsi, everyone gathered around. A man in his thirties who was slightly fat and pale-faced said anxiously: "Second brother, several censors suddenly impeached you. Yuan Gongyu acquiesced to this matter. I really couldn't stop it, so I had to call everyone over!"
This person's name is Wu Yizong, and he serves as the Censor Zhongcheng in the Censorship Station.
Wu Chengsi's heart trembled, and he thought: "Zhuge Nan really caught a big fish, Xu Jingzong is going to attack him."
Wu Huaidao, the minister of Sinong Temple, looked around and frowned: "Yizong, have you informed everyone?"
Wu Yizong took a look and said, "Hey, I should have informed you all. Why do I feel like there are a few people missing?"
"Wu Sansi and the others didn't come," Wu Youji said coldly.
Wu Huaidao snorted: "That boy, you really don't know the seriousness of the matter." He turned to look at Wu Chengsi: "Chengsi, have you offended Yuan Gongyu?"
Wu Chengsi thought for a moment and said, "My aunt asked me to secretly investigate a case, and the person involved is Xu Jingzong."
When Wu Huaidao heard that it was the queen's order, he felt reassured and said calmly: "Yuan Gongyu has always been close to Xu Jingzong, and Xu Jingzong must have instigated him."
One person sneered: "Their power was given by Her Royal Highness the Queen. Now they dare to go against our Wu family. They are simply overestimating their own capabilities!"
Wu Chengsi looked at the man and found that he was the youngest among the Wu family's children, named Wu Xiyue, who served as a military officer and had always been arrogant, domineering and domineering in Chang'an City.
Wu Youxu, a member of Zhongshu House, sighed: "These two are now the prime ministers of the dynasty and have many party members. It would be best if we don't quarrel with each other. Why don't we go to them to explain the situation. If they know that it is Her Majesty the Queen's intention, they will not Make things difficult for my second brother again."
He is Wu Youji's biological brother, but the relationship between the two brothers is relatively distant.
Wu Yizong snorted: "Stop talking nonsense, don't those two old foxes know who is behind the second brother? This is obviously to put pressure on Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Yes, since they took action first, don't blame us for being rude!" someone shouted.
"Second brother, go find Her Majesty the Queen and let her make the decision for you!" Another person shouted.
Wu Chengsi was silent.
Wu Huaidao saw Wu Chengsi talking eloquently at the court meeting, and felt that he had some ideas, so he asked: "Chengsi, what do you think we should do? We all listen to you."
Wu Chengsi said slowly: "Why are they impeaching me?"
Wu Yizong took out a memorial from his arms and said, "This is the memorial I took. The general content is similar. Take a look."
Wu Chengsi took it and looked at it, slightly surprised.
I saw that there were several of his faults listed above, including: asking for talents from brothel girls, which was unbecoming; going to Liyuan to watch beasts fighting during office hours, which was derelict in his duties; and using someone like Wang Bo who had offended Tian Yan.
People, disrespectful to the emperor, etc.
Wu Chengsi finally felt the power of the censor, and it was indeed uncomfortable to be impeached.
The other charges were okay, but the charge of asking the brothel girls to promote talented people was obviously for Empress Wu.
Imagine that the Queen handed the Hanlin Academy into his hands, but he asked the brothel girls to recommend talents for him. Would the Queen not be angry when she found out?
Wang Bo's plan was aimed at Emperor Li Zhi.
It has to be said that this impeachment memorial is quite lethal, and it is all true, making it difficult to refute.
Although Wu Chengsi believed that Wu Mei would not remove him from his official position because of this, it was very possible that he would be dissatisfied with him.
At this time, it was necessary to act first. There was a process for the Yushitai's memorial to reach Wu Mei, but he could see Wu Mei first.
Thinking of this, he said: "Don't worry, everyone, I'll go find my aunt right away."
"Chengsi, why don't we also fight back and impeach Xu Jingzong and Yuan Gongyu? Those two guys have done a lot of bad things." Wu Huaidao suggested.
Wu Chengsi thought for a while and said: "Okay, you can discuss the specific matters of impeaching them first, and I will make a decision after I come back."
After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Wu Chengsi hurriedly passed through the Danfeng Gate, entered the Daming Palace, and ran all the way to the Zichen Palace.
While walking quickly along the corridor of Zichen Hall, I suddenly saw a petite figure walking leisurely in front of me.
Wu Chengsi quickened his pace and shouted: "Wan'er."
Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly turned around, and when she saw it was him, she smiled sweetly: "Master, are you here to see my wife?"
Wu Chengsi took a deep breath and suddenly noticed a stack of memorials in her hand, and asked hurriedly: "Wan'er, where did these memorials come from?"
"Your Majesty just asked me to go to Zhongshu Province to get it. Do you want to see it?"
Wu Chengsi was startled and thought to himself: "Isn't the memorial to impeach me in there?" He frowned and said nothing.
Shangguan Wan'er tilted her head and looked at him for a while, then suddenly said: "Master, is there anything I can do for you?"
Wu Chengsi thought for a moment and said, "Can you walk as slowly as possible later?"
Shangguan Wan'er blinked and seemed to understand something. She smiled and said, "I know, I know. Please go find Her Majesty the Queen!"
Wu Chengsi secretly praised and walked quickly towards the main hall.
After Shangguan Wan'er waited for him to go far away, she suddenly walked to a stone step. When she went down the stone step, she deliberately tilted her foot and fell on the step. The memorial fell to the ground.
She slowly picked up the memorial, sat on the steps and carefully cleaned the dust off, and then slowly walked towards the Zichen Hall.
When they arrived outside the palace, they made an announcement and entered the main hall. They saw that Wu Mei, who was rare, did not deal with official duties, but stood in front of the imperial case, holding a white jade dragon-patterned pen, practicing calligraphy.
Wu Mei loved calligraphy and hated being disturbed when practicing calligraphy. Wu Chengsi remained silent and walked lightly up to the throne platform and took a look.
I saw several columns of words on the white paper that were majestic, spinning and agile, completely unlike women's calligraphy.
Soon, Wu Mei finished writing the post and said with a smile: "Chengsi, how did I write this post?"
"Floating like floating clouds, as powerful as a frightening dragon!" Wu Chengsi praised.
This sentence is the world's evaluation of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Wu Mei smiled and said: "You don't know calligraphy. This flattery is too much."
Wu Chengsi saw that she seemed to be in a good mood, so he went straight to the point: "Aunt, Su Dingfang's case has a clue. Dali Temple has arrested a group of foreigners and is interrogating them. However, judging from the current clues, something is wrong."
Wu Meifeng frowned: "What's wrong?"
"The person behind it is too powerful and has a special status. My nephew doesn't know whether to continue the investigation."
Wu Mei turned around and said solemnly: "Who is it?"
Wu Chengsi glanced around, Wu Mei waved her hand and said, "You all get out."
After everyone left, Wu Chengsi said one word at a time: "Xu Jingzong!"
Wu Mei's expression changed and she fell into deep thought. After a moment, she stared at Wu Chengsi: "Are you sure?"
"Currently there are only suspicions and there is still a lack of complete evidence."
Wu Mei scolded: "Then why don't you go and investigate?"
Wu Chengsi whispered: "Aunt, he made great contributions to you. My nephew thinks that before in-depth investigation, I should inform you first to see if you want to continue the investigation."
Wu Mei's eyes couldn't help but flicker. After a long time, she said word by word: "Continue to investigate, I want conclusive evidence."
From this sentence, Wu Chengsi understood Xu Jingzong's position in Wu Mei's heart. She did not completely believe his words, but Wu Chengsi's goal had been achieved.
Next, no matter how Xu Jingzong attacks him, Wu Mei will think that it is because Wu Chengsi is investigating him, so he fights back. The more powerful he attacks, the more suspicious Wu Mei will be aroused.
