Chapter 50 The sky is falling and there is a child tall
Whether the emperor is important or not depends on who it is to. For Lu Xiao, the current Emperor Tianqi still has a certain degree of importance. But for many people in the court, the person sitting on the dragon throne had better be a mascot.
.
Don't open your mouth, don't talk. Just sit on the dragon throne and wait for us to rule the world for you. You are an emperor and you don't know how to govern a country.
Emperor Tianqi was originally a perfect emperor to these ministers. He was obsessed with carpentry and did not care about political affairs. But there was helplessly Wei Zhongxian in the middle.
The civil servants fought back and forth, and found that they had nothing to do with Wei Zhongxian. If they wanted the emperor to speak, of course the emperor would not want to. Didn't you prevent me from speaking? Now that you can't fight, are you looking for me to cause trouble? Then
no.
Many ministers saw that this was not working. The emperor's mascot was not up to standard. It was disobedient, so we had better change it. If we change it to a biased one, we could kill Wei Zhongxian's emperor.
This paragraph sounds like child's play, but think about it carefully. Is this process similar to history? Fiction requires logic, but reality does not. And history, sometimes not only has no logic, it can even be called fantasy.
In Lu Xiao's mansion, Shen Lian walked in with a large stack of papers.
"I have met Mr. Qianhu."
"Okay, we still need this kind of etiquette between us. Where are the things?"
"Here."
As Shen Lian said this, he handed a large pile of papers in his hand to Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao took it and opened it. These papers were all prescriptions written by doctors. Lu Xiao laid out all the prescriptions on the table, and then began to compare them carefully in chronological order.
"Master Qianhu, is there anything wrong with these prescriptions?" Shen Lian didn't know what Lu Xiao needed this thing for. He didn't understand pharmacology and couldn't understand these prescriptions.
"There is nothing wrong with the prescription itself. It can even be said to be a very standard and suitable prescription for treating wind and cold."
"Sir, do you suspect that there is something wrong with the hospital?"
"Haha, even if there is something wrong with the prescription, it is not necessarily the intention of the imperial doctors. Do you know what the imperial doctors in the palace pay most attention to when using medicine?"
"I really don't understand this."
"The prescriptions in the palace are all about the word "sustain". "Shu" means that the effect of the medicine must be slow. No matter what the symptoms are, the medicine must be warm and slow. Even if the effect is not good, or even the disease cannot be cured.
, and you cannot prescribe strong medicines. Because the cure is slow or even cannot be cured, it can be said that you are not good at studying medicine. But if there is a problem with the medicine, it will be a loss of your head. Therefore, the medicine use style of those imperial doctors is the same.
"
Lu Xiao said, taking out some of the prescriptions and handing them to Shen Lian.
"See if you can see any difference?"
After Shen Lian took it, he looked at it carefully. Although he couldn't understand the prescription, he could still understand the numbers. After a while, Shen Lian's face changed slightly.
"The dosage of these medicines seems to be gradually increasing!"
"That's right, it's not just about enlargement. Looking at the prescriptions in the past three days, there have even been some changes. I know a little bit about pharmacology, and the effects of these prescriptions should be much stronger."
"Your Majesty, what you are saying is that this is not in line with the royal physician's style of medicine?"
"This is one possibility. Another possibility is that the imperial doctors are a little anxious."
Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically.
"You mean, Your Majesty..." He didn't say the next words. But Lu Xiao naturally understood what he meant.
"I'm afraid so."
"I'm afraid something big is going to happen. How are you going to deal with it, sir?"
"How to deal with it, Shen Lian, you are just a member of a hundred households, and I am only a member of a thousand households. It is not our turn to worry about this kind of thing. If something goes wrong, of course we have to find someone higher up to take care of it. Don't forget,
We are eunuchs!"
Wei Zhongxian's Mansion.
Zhao Jingzhong knelt in front of Wei Zhongxian with a pale face.
"Father, the child is incompetent and has not found the real culprit behind this."
"Did you not find it, or don't you want to look for it?" Wei Zhongxian's soft and slow voice made Zhao Jingzhong break into a cold sweat on his forehead. He knew this adoptive father too well, and he was a model of turning his back on others and being ruthless. The key is
It was Zhao Jingzhong who knew his problem.
Just like Wei Zhongxian said, it's not that he can't find it, but he doesn't dare to find it.
Zhao Jingzhong is a smart man. Among Wei Zhongxian's countless adopted sons, his ability to reach this position undoubtedly proves his ability. But again, he really doesn't dare to investigate the case of the emperor falling into the water.
He is now in charge of most of the rights of Dongchang. With Wei Zhongxian as his backer, it stands to reason that there is nothing he cannot do. But Zhao Jingzhong knows that this is something he cannot investigate.
Unlike those who blindly follow Wei Zhongxian's power, Zhao Jingzhong knew very well that the source of Wei Zhongxian's power was the current emperor. This time the emperor fell into the water and is now in poor health. This caused the situation in the palace to become abnormal.
It's subtle. Zhao Jingzhong can't see the future clearly, so he naturally doesn't dare to intervene at will. If he makes a wrong step, it will be a major crime for the Yi clan at least.
Wei Zhongxian seemed to understand his idea of protecting himself wisely, and waved his hand impatiently.
"Go away."
If Zhao Jingzhong was granted amnesty, he stood up and left Wei Zhongxian's mansion. In the yard, he saw a familiar person walking in.
Lu Xiao and Zhao Jingzhong have known each other for a long time. After all, they are both eunuchs. However, one of them is Jin Yiwei and the other is Dongchang. Although they cooperate with each other, they mostly restrain each other and their relationship is very ordinary.
Glancing at each other, the two just nodded to each other, and then passed by each other in silence. Lu Xiao didn't care, but Zhao Jingzhong had more on his mind. No wonder his adoptive father didn't blame himself. It turned out that he had found someone else to replace him.
.
Lu Xiao walked into Wei Zhongxian's living room and bent down to salute.
"I met the factory owner."
"Yeah." Wei Zhongxian greeted casually. Wei Zhongxian's impression of Lu Xiao was also a bit complicated. In his eyes, he was a capable and capable young man. He could also be regarded as his disciple. But the other party was always
Unlike Zhao Jingzhong, who calls himself foster father.
"Lu Xiao, you are a rare visitor."
"The factory owner is joking, he is all working for the emperor." Lu Xiao pretended not to understand what Wei Zhongxian meant and responded perfunctorily.
Wei Zhongxian did not continue to struggle.
"You look like you have something important to do?"
"Back to the factory, sir, there is indeed something shocking that requires the factory boss to come forward."
Wei Zhongxian raised his head and glanced at Lu Xiao, then waved his hand and dismissed all the servants.
"Say it."
Lu Xiao took out two drawings from his arms and handed them to Wei Zhongxian.
"Returning to the factory, I humbly found out the reason why the emperor's treasure ship sank. Someone tampered with the drawings."
Wei Zhongxian's eyes, which were half-closed, suddenly opened.
