The next day, Yu Yanyi, who was the chief minister of the Zhou cabinet and one of the pillars of support, fell ill. This was no small matter.
Although there are still three grand masters in the cabinet, the prestige of the remaining three is no longer comparable to that of the grand master.
During the Jinyang Defense War, Yu Yanyi's reputation reached its peak both in court and among the people. In addition, Yu Yanyi's official reputation was as bright as a mirror and as clear as water.
Yu Yanyi has become a model for a generation of wise ministers.
His political status has surpassed that of an ordinary monarch.
Only when the sea is flowing can one show his true nature as a hero, and only when one helps those in danger and those in need can one be said to be an unparalleled national hero.
After saving the Great Zhou Dynasty, he gained power in both the government and the opposition, but he did not take credit, was not arrogant, was not monopolistic, and was not dictatorial.
To exaggerate, he would be "unparalleled since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the number one minister in the past five hundred years."
With such people around, even when the new and old generations of emperors change their political power, people will feel at ease.
But just a few months after the death of the late emperor, he fell ill. How could this not affect people's hearts?
Under such circumstances, it is reasonable to invite two great national players, Wan Mi Zhai and Li Bin Hu, to come for consultation.
However, although Yu Yanyi was the most important minister in the court, he never cared about his status and status. This time, he suddenly invited the two major hospitals of Tai Hospital for consultation, which was different from the past.
When Li Wan and Li Wan received Yu Yanyi's invitation, they still had doubts in their hearts. This behavior was not like Yu Yanyi's style, but they didn't think much about it and brought the medicine box to Yu Yanyi's house.
"Master Yu!"
"Lao Yu Ge!"
After the two entered the room, they discovered that Yu Yanyi was not actually sick.
Both of them were masters of basic medical skills. They were very proficient in seeing, hearing and asking, and they could tell at a glance that Yu Yanyi was not infected with the cold.
"Master Yu, this..."
Yu Yanyi stood up and said, "Please forgive me."
The two of them did not dare to talk to each other. Although both of them were national players in the current dynasty and were close to reaching the top in their respective fields, in terms of official rank, they were only at the fifth rank, so naturally they could not compare with Yu Yanyi.
"Master Yu, what do you mean by this!?" Wan Mi Zhai, who was relatively well-off in official circles, immediately replied.
Li Binhu, who was standing next to him, immediately returned the greeting.
"Yu asked you two to come here this time. He really has something secret to inquire about, so he had no choice but to resort to this method."
"If you have any questions for me, sir, just ask, and we will definitely tell you everything you know."
Li Binhu also followed Wan Mi Zhai's words and nodded in agreement.
Then Yu Yanyi took the two of them to the desk, "I hope you won't tell anyone what Yu is going to say after listening to it. Otherwise, if someone knows about it, I'm afraid it will implicate you two."
Regarding the two major national players, Yu Yanyi did not put on any airs, but instead called himself Yu.
Li and Wan looked at each other, and Wan Mi Zhai immediately said, "Don't worry, Master Yu. Whatever happened today will never come out of Master Yu's mouth or come into my ears."
"Then I will speak frankly! May I ask you two, who was in the imperial hospital who stayed in the Imperial City to look after His Majesty on the night of the late Emperor Bintian?"
Wan Mizhai and Li Binhu did not expect that this first question would be so explosive, and both of them had a look of shock in their eyes.
Since Yu Yanyi is asking this question here, it means that he has doubts about the affairs of the late Emperor Bintian.
I came to find them both just to clear up my doubts.
"The person on duty that day was Dr. Zhao from the Imperial Hospital." After Wan Mi Zhai finished speaking, Yu Yanyi was puzzled by this answer.
The former Emperor Taizongwen was in critical condition, and his life was in danger at any time like a hairspring falling from a thousand pounds.
At this time, it is not the time for one of Li Binhu and Wan Mi Zhai to stay?
Li Binhu didn't know if he saw Yu Yanyi's doubts, so he added.
"I was supposed to stay overnight that night, but because I was busy for three consecutive days, I felt exhausted, so I asked Dr. Zhao to help me stay overnight."
"Huh?! Is the hospital so busy with official duties?!"
Since ancient times, medicine and martial arts have not been separated. Even though Li Binhu and Wan Mizhai are two old men, they are both Yuanhua realm warriors with deep true energy, but they are not as aggressive as ordinary warriors and lack practical combat experience.
It must be an extremely complicated matter to make Li Binhu feel exhausted.
"Master Yu was joking, what kind of official business can our hospital have? It's just that I accidentally got a lot of uncommon herbs. In order to identify the properties of the herbs and implement medical theory, I took advantage of them just after they were picked to study them.
"
There is a difference between Li Binhu and Wan Mi Zhai. Although Wan Mi Zhai is a master of medicine, he still has ambitions for an official career. The location of Taiyuan Hospital is one of the reasons for retaining Wan Mi Zhai.
But Li Binhu is different. He has no intention of power or wealth. What he wants more is to re-compile Materia Medica, which will be famous throughout the ages and benefit the world. The reason why Li Binhu has been working in Taiyuan Hospital is to borrow the resources of Taiyuan Hospital to re-edit Materia Medica.
However, something strange appeared in Yu Yanyi's ears when he heard these words.
Maybe for Li Binhu, getting those herbs was accidental, but to Yu Yanyi, this "unintentional" thing was really a coincidence.
How come these herbs are available on this day?! How come the emperor dies on this day?!
It was a thoughtful person who specifically did not want Li Binhu to be present, and what would happen if Li Binhu was present.
At this juncture, nothing could happen accidentally.
How can there be so many coincidences in this world?!
"Since you two were not in the palace that night, I won't ask about this matter. However, I have another elixir here that I would like to invite you to taste."
After saying that, Yu Yanyi took out a jade bottle from the desk drawer.
"Look, you two!"
Wan Mizhai and Li Binhu took the jade pendant handed from Yanyi and opened it, and a fresh but rich medicinal fragrance hit their nostrils.
Both of them were stunned when they smelled the fragrance of the medicine.
Yu Yanyi also noticed something unusual about the two of them and asked.
"Boy, is there something wrong with this elixir?!"
Li Binhu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know where Master Yu got this elixir. It's not as simple as a problem, it's a huge problem."
After plugging the stopper of the jade bottle, Wan Mi Zhai explained, "The medicinal materials used in this elixir include Chitose Vine, Evergreen Fruit... Jade Ice Leaf, etc. They are all extremely precious medicinal materials, and their pharmacological properties are perfectly integrated.
.However, there were some flaws in the final finishing."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Binhu on the side said after finishing the attack, "So although this elixir still has good medicinal properties, it is a veritable waste elixir."
At this time, the completely different styles of Li Binhu and Wanmi Zhai became apparent.
High emotional intelligence: "The medicinal materials are good, the medicinal properties are good, and there are no flaws at the end."
Low EQ: "This is a waste pill."
In order to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, Wan Mi Zhai coughed lightly and said, "I wonder where did Master Yu get this thing?!"
"This is refined by Medicine King Sun Shichang."
Li Wan and Li Wan had a look of surprise in their eyes. If it were Sun Shichang, it would make sense.
This person's control over pharmacology is unparalleled in the world, and even if the elixir is exhausted, it can still have a certain effect.
"This elixir is called Tianchang. Have you two heard of it?"
"Tianchang Pill?!!"
When Li Wan and Li Wan heard this, they both exclaimed...

Hulong Villa.
Zhu Wuwu was watching the summary of intelligence in the capital in the past few months.
His newly crowned imperial nephew does have some talent, but not much.
The new king Zhu Zhankun first ascended to Dabao. Within five months, he showed determination and forge ahead, and made changes in all aspects of military and political affairs to reflect his ability to govern the country and his diligence.
Little did he know that these actions of his made people in Gyeonggi Province fluctuate.
Originally, the alternation of old and new power was the time when the young master of the country was in doubt.
Emperor Zhou governed the world very well. When he passed away, people in the world would naturally miss him, but at the same time they would also worry about whether the new emperor who succeeded him could do a good job.
Under such an external environment, Zhu Zhankun frequently changed state affairs.
If Yu Yanyi, Qian Muqian, Zhao Mengke and other important ministers had not dissuaded him, he would have even wanted to change the taxation of water transportation.
It should be noted that governing a big country is like cooking small dishes.
A small policy at the national level may have a huge impact on people's lives.
Frequent national policies like his will only make the people busy adapting to the new national policies, and even lead to people's livelihood being exhausted.
Xiao Gui and Cao Sui are not necessarily a kind of political vision and political courage.
The behavior of this new king has already made the hearts of the civil and military officials flustered. After reading the intelligence summary, Zhu Wuli couldn't help but shake his head.
"Brother, you are wise in your life, but I didn't expect that when it comes to choosing a prince, your vision is surprisingly poor."
On Zhu Wuli's desk, there was not only information from Gyeonggi, but also information from Yancheng.
My fourth brother, Zhao Wangkai, also started to act frequently.
During the Battle of Jin Dynasty, the Ulliangha tribe that was recruited by King Zhao had been trained as cavalry by him.
The Battle of Tumu Fort in the North not only did not damage King Zhao's power, but also allowed King Zhao to strengthen his control over northern Youzhou after regaining the lost territory.
When the late Emperor was here, King Zhao did not dare to rebel even if he had different intentions, but now the new king's behavior is encouraging King Zhao's ambitions.
Thinking of this, Zhu Wuwu suddenly had a string of fire in his heart.
King Zhao is a descendant of Taizu Emperor Gao, and so is he.
Since King Zhao is also qualified to sit in this position, then he...
Before that, although Zhu Wuwu would occasionally think about how he would govern the country after sitting on the throne, it was just random thoughts.
Just like the mortals in Blue Star, they sometimes wonder how they will spend their money after winning the 100 million grand prize.
This imagination is unfounded.
But now, Zhu Wuwu is really thinking about it.
He can replace it.
--------------------------
Dongchang.
Cao Zhengchun, who returned to Dongchang, was thinking about Yu Yanyi's purpose.
Eunuch Cao has an unspeakable desire for power.
The physical disability made the eunuchs more eager for gold, silver and power. Eunuch Cao had no interest in money, but power was a poisonous wine that was extremely tempting to Eunuch Cao.
What Factory Director Cao couldn't accept the most was that he was no longer the number one eunuch.
Yuhuatian is already on par with him, and has even surpassed him.
Unlike civil servants and military officials, eunuchs had the power to resist imperial power to a certain extent.
The existence of the eunuch group was completely dependent on the imperial power. Except for the eunuch who was in charge of the imperial army in the late Tang Dynasty, there was no eunuch who could cause any big disturbance.
Yuhuatian had already defected to Xinjun before Cao Zhengchun returned to Beijing. This kind of early joining the team was risky but more profitable.
As a result, Yuhuatian, who received the fruits of victory, still surpassed Cao Zhengchun in status and influence among eunuchs.
If it weren't for Dongchang's strong foundation, Cao Zhengchun's martial arts was better than Yuhuatian's, and now Cao Zhengchun would not be qualified to compete with him.
Director Cao was irritable, but as soon as he entered the study, Director Cao discovered something that made him even more irritable.
Pi Xiaotian was sitting on his desk.
This behavior is not very harmful, but it is extremely insulting.
"Pi Xiaotian, do you want to die?!"
Dongchang stall scalper Xiaotian, who was originally submissive to Governor Cao, was not panicking at this moment.
"Lord Governor, you are back! It's so late, where have you been!?"
Pi Xiaotian seemed not to notice Cao Zhengchun's anger, but instead questioned Cao Zhengchun's whereabouts.
This made Cao Zhengchun feel that things were not that simple.
However, Cao Zhengchun did not show surprise on his face, but still looked annoyed and angry.
"Since you want to die, I will let you die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun's extremely powerful Tiangang Tongzi Kung started to work!
When Pi Xiaotian saw this, he knew that he had gone too far, so he immediately stood up and said, "Wait a minute, Lord Governor!"
"Do you have any last words you want to say?!"
"Master, this servant belongs to His Majesty!"
Cao Zhengchun sneered, "Who is not His Majesty's servant?! We are all the Emperor's slaves!"
Seeing that Cao Zhengchun was really going to take action, Pi Xiaotian immediately took out his official certificate and identity token.
"Master Governor, I have been appointed by Long Live as the Supervisor of Shangshan, and I am also responsible for the procurement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
After hearing this, Cao Zhengchun dispersed the strong palm power gathered in his palms and took the token and official credentials.
Seeing Cao Zhengchun dissipate his palm power, Pi Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief.
If the palm just hit him, all his internal organs would be shattered, and the word "death" would not be able to escape.
Pi Xiaotian wanted to slap himself at this moment. What a shame on his part! He came here to provoke Cao Zhengchun.
If he gets angry, he will kill him with the help of wine without looking at the token and official credentials.
The emperor might not stand up for him, and he might even applaud him secretly. After all, the dead are always the safest.
After reading it, Cao Zhengchun said in a low voice, "Pi Jianzheng, you move so fast! Without saying a word, you have already gained the attention of the new king. You must support our family more in the future!"
Yin and Yang language is basically a compulsory subject for eunuchs. As the leader of Dongchang, Cao Zhengchun still passed the Yin and Yang language.
With the lesson just learned, Pi Xiaotian didn't dare to jump anymore, not even Dao.
"Master Governor, you know me. I am interested in money as much as I am interested in power. That's why Long Live appointed me to be in charge of the Food Supervisor and responsible for the procurement matters in the palace. It is a tacit agreement that I can make money from it."
The procurement position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not high, but the salary and salary are quite sufficient.
It was the position that suited Pi Xiaotian's heart the most. He didn't have to hold up a knife to fight and kill, his prestige was not diminished, and he could still earn enough money.
Cao Zhengchun also knew that Pi Xiaotian was a man who loved gold and silver treasures the most. This was why Pi Xiaotian was not the second best in Dongchang in terms of martial arts, but he was able to become the second in command of Dongchang.
Because people like him are easy to control.
"Pi Jianzheng, you came here late at night, didn't you just come here to show off your position?"
Pi Xiaotian had a flattering look on his face, "No way! Lord Governor, I'm here to give you a fortune!"
