Chapter 258 In the first fire of the joint efforts of the monarch and his subjects
Have the Imperial Pharmacy and Imperial Hospital been sealed?
When Xu Xun heard the order from Zhu Houzhao sent by Zhang Yong, he murmured in his heart for a while, and immediately understood what was the best way to do it. So, without saying a word, he ordered people to recruit a full fifteen hundred households, and also brought Wang Shikun and Qi Jiliang.
Zhang Zong said that Xu Yanche had summoned all of them, and in front of everyone, he assigned the 1,500 people from the 12th Regiment Battalion to each team of 300 people, and then asked Wang Shikun and others to each lead the 500 avant-garde of the government army.
, and asked them to guard the four gates of the Outer Imperial City and the Inner Palace City respectively. When everyone accepted the order happily, he nodded slightly towards the last three hundred households and Qian Ning.
"They are going to guard the four gates of the palace. As for you, you have other important tasks assigned to you." After saying this, Xu Xun paused slightly and saw that Qian Ning could still hold his own, but the three hundred households were all excited.
, He secretly thought that he had asked the British Duke Zhang Mao before leaving. Sure enough, the old fox had packed a few officers he liked among the fifteen hundred people, so he simply gave him a favor.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has issued a decree that the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau and the Imperial Hospital have neglected their duties, so Eunuch Zhang and I are ordered to go to the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau and the Imperial Hospital to arrest someone! Remember, the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau wants to arrest the eunuch Zhang Yu
The eunuchs who combined the medicine this time, as for the imperial hospital, are the eunuch Shi Qin who is on duty at the Qianqing Palace this time, the court judge Liu Wentai and the imperial doctor."
Seeing that everyone was dumbfounded for a moment after hearing this order, and then all solemnly accepted the order, he added: "One more thing, the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau and the Taiyuan Hospital are both internal and external government offices. You need to take good care of them."
Restrain your subordinates. If you destroy or take anything without permission, I don’t need to say more about the consequences! Okay, no more gossiping, you should go back and reorganize the army immediately, and set off immediately!"
The Imperial Pharmacy Bureau is located in the northeast corner behind the Wenhua Palace. According to the old system of the Hongwu Dynasty, it was originally jointly managed by medical officers and eunuchs. However, as time went by, the eunuchs who did not understand pharmacology gradually took over and became the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau.
He is the one who really keeps his word. And Zhang Yu, the eunuch and eunuch who is now in charge of the Royal Pharmacy Bureau, was originally a person who had nothing to do with medicine, but with his favor and trust, he has firmly occupied this position. On weekdays, he shouts and drinks.
He was extremely energetic in the palace, but he was very anxious that day. He had been restless since he came back from Qianqing Palace, and he didn't even have the energy to get angry at his subordinates.
Well, how could Emperor Hongzhi suddenly die? Even though they had not diagnosed the pulse before, those doctors were all experienced with many years of experience. They could not do the latter two, but they could see clearly the first two.
He told himself that it was nothing serious, otherwise even if he committed the holy wrath, he would definitely persuade the emperor to let everyone check his pulse! Or, there is something wrong with the medicine he used? But aren't they all tonics?
, how can something good turn out to be bad if used...
As he was thinking about it, Zhang Yu couldn't help but be startled, thinking to himself that he must not admit this, otherwise he would never be able to save his life, let alone his future. So, he immediately stood up and said in a deep voice
He shouted: "Come here, prepare some stools, our family is going to the Tai Hospital!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a person from outside suddenly broke open the door curtain and rushed in. He didn't even have time to say anything and threw himself on the ground: "Ancestor, it's not good. There are many soldiers outside the Imperial Medicine Bureau. Look around.
Be strict!”
"What!"
Zhang Yu felt shocked and angry, and just as he was about to ask questions, there was another loud noise outside, mixed with a few curses and screams, but it quieted down in an instant.
Faced with this unspeakable silence, he could only take a deep breath to force himself to calm down, and then strode out simply. As soon as he opened the door curtain, he saw clearly those soldiers carrying swords on their waists.
The sergeants, who were wearing plain uniforms outside their robes, immediately looked at the leader again.
It’s Xu Xun, the prince of Xing’an Bo!
"Prince Xu? What do you want to do?" Although Zhang Yu tried his best to calm down, his voice was still inevitably trembling, "In the ancestral system, except for the internal officials and the medical officers of the Taiyuan Hospital, who is the important place of the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau?"
You are not allowed to trespass, even if you are favored by the emperor and prince, how can you ignore the laws of your ancestors!"
"Now that things have happened, Eunuch Zhang still plans to use the ancestral law to suppress others?" Xu Xun raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "According to the decree of the Crown Prince Jun, Zhang Yu, the eunuch and eunuch of the Royal Pharmacy Department, neglected his duties and captured him immediately!
The person who is coming is not optimistic about Eunuch Zhang!"
When Zhang Yu heard the words "Crown Prince Jun Zhi", his whole body suddenly softened. When his left and right arms were tightly held, he suddenly woke up and hurriedly shouted: "Prince Xu, this is for the Emperor."
The ones who diagnosed and treated were Shi Qin, Liu Wentai and the imperial doctors from Tai Hospital. Our family was just doing a show in the imperial pharmacy. The emperor passed away..."
Before Zhang Yu could finish speaking, Xu Xun made a gesture. He waited until Qian Ning stepped forward and blocked Zhang Yu's mouth. Then the two military academies on the left and right tied Zhang Yu tightly with ropes before he stepped forward.
He said: "Eunuch Zhang, I have already said that I am taking you now because you have neglected your duties. If you yelled about the death of the emperor, then it will not be a crime to pursue. You know the consequences yourself. As for those people in the Imperial Hospital, I
I also obeyed Jun’s order and was going to get it in three seconds!”
After Zhang Yu struggled for a while, after hearing these words, the tui that was kicking desperately stopped gradually. The fear on his face was slightly reduced, but there was a pleading expression in one eye, as if to ask Xu Xun.
The gag was removed and he was allowed to say a few words. However, to his great dismay, Xu Xun had no intention of letting him speak and just said two more words.
"Now His Royal Highness is still angry. The more you speak, the more mistakes you make. Please don't make any mistakes, Eunuch Zhang.
As for what you have to say, you might as well think about it in your mind now, and you will naturally have the opportunity to speak up."
In front of the Royal Pharmacy is the Wenhua Hall, and not far away is the Wenyuan Pavilion. I hope it won’t disturb too much!
After taking away Zhang Yu and the two undercover officers who were responsible for compounding the medicine these days from the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau, Xu Xun handed them over to Zhang Yong, along with fifty sergeants. After all, the prison for internal officials was in
Where, he had no idea at all, so it would be most appropriate to leave it to Zhang Yong, who was familiar with the layout of the palace. After leaving fifty people to guard the Imperial Pharmacy Office, he led others out of Zuoye through Zuoshun Gate.
Door. Even if he tried to keep a low profile, the commotion was still very big. Not only did the cabinet and the imperial office next to the Zuoshun door got the news, but even the Sixth Section Corridor got the news, and everyone was up and down for a while.
There was an uproar over it.
"I thought it was strange that troops were suddenly stationed in Xiyuan before. Why did the imperial pharmacy suddenly be closed down now! Also, wasn't Xu Xun in Fusi, Beizhen, imprisoned? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't even ascended the throne, so why did he suddenly put the Emperor in prison?
The people who were imprisoned have been released!"
Liu Jian was furious when he heard the news, and Li Dongyang also said solemnly: "His Royal Highness thought that he was temporarily angry because of the emperor's sudden death, but it is not reasonable to move to the Imperial Pharmacy. Even if they are really at fault, at least they should
Let’s check first before talking.”
"And even if we investigate, it won't be Xu Xun's turn to investigate!" Xie Qian took a deep breath, looked at Liu Jian and said, "Yuanfu, the emperor's trust is still fresh in my mind yesterday, and Xu Xun is leading people again
I went outside, and I don’t know how much trouble there will be. I think the ceremonial officials don’t want to see the chaos inside and outside the capital, so let them think of ways to come up with something in the middle. How about I wait to see His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"I have to meet His Highness the Crown Prince! How can we let chaos start inside and outside the palace at this moment!"
As Liu Jian was talking, a clerk's voice suddenly came from outside. He frowned and ordered to come in. After a moment, a clerk hurried in and glanced at the faces of the three pavilion elders. He had just informed the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau.
After being blocked from the news, he bowed down respectfully again: "Yuan Fu, Mr. Li Ge and Mr. Ge Xie, Judge Liu Wentai of Taiyuan Hospital wants to see you."
"What?"
The three people in the room all changed their faces. Although the clerk did not raise his head, he could still imagine the faces of these three big guys. After all, he had seen the head of the imperial hospital dressed as a eunuch before and thought it was ridiculous. So he thought it was ridiculous.
, he lowered his head again and said word by word: "Liu Wentai said that Yuan Fu and the two cabinet ministers should take the time to meet with him no matter what. He has a hundred thousand urgent matters to report. If you miss this time,
…”
Liu Jian had previously had a verbal spat with Liu Wentai over his work of cultivating Materia Medica. He had no favorable impressions of this court judge of the Taiyuan Hospital who was quick-talking but had mediocre medical skills. Hearing this, he naturally glared: "If you miss this time, you will be in trouble again."
How about it!"
"He said that if he misses this..." The clerk hesitated for a moment when he thought of those treacherous words, but found that Liu Jian was already impatient. He was also afraid that the matter was important, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "I'm afraid that the emperor's name will not be known."
Save."
"Bastard thing!"
Even though he knew that Liu Jian was not scolding him at this moment, the clerk was still chattering away. Li Dongyang had already tasted the taste of these words. While taking a breath of cold air, he immediately stood up and whispered
After admonishing Liu Jian for a few words, he turned around and ordered the clerk to go out and bring the people in. When Liu Wentai entered the room and the clerk resigned, Li Dongyang had to look at him with sharp eyes for a long time, and then asked
: "Liu Wentai, if you have anything to say, just say it. If you dare to make alarmist remarks, even if you don't say that Xu Xunzheng is following the Crown Prince's order to arrest you, even the three of us will not let you go easily!"
Liu Wentai was an old imperial doctor who had experienced two dynasties. After the news of the emperor's death came out, he sneaked out of the imperial pharmacy, but he did not dare to leave the palace and return to the imperial hospital, let alone go home.
He found a place in the palace to take shelter for the time being. This way, he just escaped the disaster of Xu Xun sealing the Royal Pharmacy Bureau, but he did not dare to see Zhang Yu being taken away with his own eyes.
With the slightest luck, he found the set of eunuch clothes that he had hidden back then and put them on, then he went straight to Wenyuan Pavilion.
At this moment, facing the three elders of different colors, he took a deep breath, then lowered his head and said: "Yuan Fu, elder Li Ge, elder Xie Ge, I didn't even think about this matter at all."
I said it, but now it’s impossible not to say it. Long live and... Long live the master did not go away from the cold, but... but took the elixir to promote sperm and nourish the energy..."
Although Liu Wentai did not continue speaking, the three cabinet members
