Chapter 259: Under the First Fire of the Monarch and His Subjects
"No Liu Wentai?"
After leaving the palace, Xu Xun went straight to the Taiyuan Hospital, but at the same time he sent people to Pegasus home to disturb Anbo's mansion and bring Jingbu Le here. At this time, Xu Xun, who was tightly surrounding the Taiyuan Hospital,
He led people inside and searched three times. Shi Qin and several imperial doctors caught him, but Liu Wentai was nowhere to be found. Naturally, he frowned, but immediately said to Qian Ning who came in to report:
"Forget it, take those who should be taken away and return to the palace!"
Qian Ning hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "Commander Xu, Eunuch Zhang just seemed to have said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was going to seal off the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Pharmacy. We just sealed the Imperial Pharmacy in the palace, but now we have
Just arresting people from the imperial hospital, isn’t that enough? Besides, if these imperial doctors go out in series to say something..."
"The Imperial Medicine Office is inside the palace, but the Imperial Hospital is outside the palace." Xu Xun sighed, pointed to the door and said, "The Qintian Prison in the south can be ignored, but you won't miss the Yamen on the west and north here.
See? To the west are the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and to the north are the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. If the Taiyuan Hospital is really closed, the bosses will poke their fingers in the faces of the sergeants. Besides, there is still the Empress Dowager in the palace.
And the queen, that is, His Royal Highness, the body is too sad and it is hard to say, the hospital is really going to be closed down, if something happens to the nobles, who will take care of it?"
Qian Ning immediately realized that he had mistakenly thought about it, and immediately said yes. At this time, it was reported that several imperial doctors had jointly requested the meeting. After hearing the names that were by no means familiar, Xu Xun gave the order after thinking about it.
He entered, but Qian Ning was also left behind.
"Mr. Xu, I wonder what else and who you want to search for in the Imperial Hospital with your army?" The old doctor who was leading the charge was over seventy years old. Although he was in high spirits, he could not speak at this moment.
, but there is a sense of inexplicable anger, "We are imperial doctors who are dedicated to medical skills, and we are not prisoners. You are making trouble in the name of His Highness the Crown Prince. What is the reason? I heard that you are going to be banned.
Taiyin Hospital, do you know this is breaking the rules..."
Xu Xun didn't wait for the old doctor to finish, but coldly interrupted him and said: "Is there any rules in the hospital?"
As soon as he said this, he saw the old doctor's mouth trembling all of a sudden, obviously very angry. However, he had no intention of letting it go, and slightly pursed his lips at Jing Bu Le.
. Sure enough, the next moment, Jing Bu Le sneered and said: "Liu Wentai and others did not rank as judges of Taiyuan Hospital because of their medical skills and were recognized by hundreds of officials. He was a minister of the Taiyuan Hospital before. In the 18th year of Chenghua, he reported to Taiyuan Hospital.
There were fifty-two redundant members, and he was among them. He was just left behind by the grace of Xianmiao. Later, he was promoted to General Secretary Si Youtongzheng. As a result, once Xianmiao was gone, there were departments such as etiquette to serve as Liu Yantai and others.
With the quackery in mind, the prescriptions used by some people turned out to be inconsistent with each other. As a result, some people were demoted and some were demoted. Liu Wentai later even falsely accused and framed the minister, and also used Materia Medica to revise the medicine.
So I asked for the reward several times, and no one at the top or bottom knew about it!"
Jing Bu Le was originally the middle official around Fu Rong who was most familiar with the stories of people in various yamen inside and outside Beijing. Speaking of this, he also brought up several messy affairs in and out of the Imperial Hospital, telling the story of those old physicians.
His cheeks were red. When Xu Xun saw that the fire was almost done, he coughed and said: "Although there are these black sheep, the Imperial Hospital is by no means full of people who are just eating corpses. Now these ones that should be cleared out are temporarily taken away. Those who are really capable
This is the original intention of setting up the Taiyuan Hospital. Qian Ning, if you go out and tell me what to do, say that apart from the people who are currently employed, the rest will be retained in their original positions.
If you have confidence in your medical skills, you can submit it in writing, and I will present it to the ceremonial officials for selection based on their talents."
"Yes, let's go now!"
"Wait a minute, you can add another sentence. The emperor's funeral is going on, and everyone inside and outside is grieving. At this time, everyone in the imperial hospital should work together. Instead of walking around and attracting the anger of all the officials, it is better to close the door and reflect on yourself. When the time comes, Xian
Foolishness speaks for itself.”
Seeing Qian Ning leaving quickly, and the faces of the people below him turning pale for a moment, Xu Xun naturally knew what they were afraid of. People like Shi Qin and Liu Wentai had been in Taiyuan Hospital for at least twenty or thirty years.
In the year, there are naturally many party members at the top and bottom, but it is really difficult to run this hospital like an iron barrel. Especially now that the leading ones have been arrested, and those who are really capable have been suppressed for many years, how can
Maybe they can still tolerate their tempers? But if these people stand out, these people who rely on their elders and sell them out think they are the old imperial doctors in the past, and it is time for them to abdicate in favor of talents!
"I've finished what I have to say, everyone, please go back. Of course, after I leave, you can go to various elders to complain and intercede. I can't say whether what will happen afterwards, Prince
Your Highness has no place to breathe!"
Originally, everyone planned to ignore Xu Xun's warning and find ways to gain access to the big shots in the court or fan the flames. However, when they heard Xu Xun's words, their thoughts, which were like hot coals, were immediately hit by a bucket of cold water.
Extinguished. For a moment, the few people who had just arrived with great power exited the door dejectedly. As soon as they got outside, they heard a few uncontrollable shouts: "His Royal Highness, the Holy Might!"
"A black sheep like Liu Wentai should have been kicked out of Tai Hospital long ago!"
"The shame of Xinglin, the scum of medicine!"
The old doctors heard these vents in their hearts, and looked at each other with anxiety. There were many officials in the court who were dissatisfied with the hospital, and the time from illness to death of the emperor was actually shorter than that of Emperor Chenghua of Xianmiao.
.If a large number of public officials really come forward this time, let alone Shi Qin, Liu Wentai and others, they will not be able to resist it. I am afraid that they will also suffer disaster!
He drew a big pie and made a wish for the doctors who had been suppressed for many years in the Tai Hospital, and successfully provoked internal conflicts within the Tai Hospital to stop vomiting. Naturally, Xu Xun would not stay here longer, and immediately ordered the escort to go out.
However, as soon as he left the Taiyuan Hospital, he found that there were many people wearing various official robes watching in front of the door, and the road was blocked.
Just as he was about to speak, someone suddenly came out of the crowd and shouted in a deep voice: "Xu Xun, didn't the emperor order Ye Guang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, to investigate your case? There is no result in this case, how can Ye Guang do it?"
I dare to let you out!"
"The results of the case have come out a long time ago. What about adjusting firearms and gunpowder? It's all nonsense. Master Ye has already reported it to the emperor, so of course Commander Xu came out." Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd.
The man followed him and slowly wandered out. When he saw everyone looking at him, he cupped his hands and said, "There are many people who know me, so I won't introduce myself here. By the way, Commander Xu's body
There is also the emperor’s order asking him to transfer the troops of the 12th regiment back to the capital. Sir, the head of the Ministry of War, do you want to check it out?"
Xu Xun was not as familiar as Li Yifeng, and he really didn't recognize the man who spoke. He heard that he was from the Ministry of War, and he couldn't help but feel excited. But immediately after, he saw one after another guy walking out with his head held high.
"Even if there was a false accusation before, now that the mountains are collapsing, you have surrounded the Taiyuan Hospital with troops. What do you mean?"
When Xu Xun saw other people whispering, he said calmly: "From the hospital envoys to the imperial doctors and doctors, many people have neglected their duties for many years. Now the Emperor Yan Jia, His Highness the Crown Prince, felt that something was fishy, so he took down
Those who have handled pulse diagnosis prescriptions and medical records will conduct strict and thorough investigations. Is there anything wrong with His Royal Highness's filial piety?"
Seeing that the man probably didn't expect that he would just throw Zhu Houzhao out, and suddenly choked, he said in a stronger tone: "Besides, the Taiyuan Hospital has been impeached countless times over the years for overstaffing and quack doctors, and it was even rumored at one time that
He colluded with monks and Taoists, and now His Highness the Crown Prince wants to clean them up. As a court official, why do you want to protect such rats?"
"You...but don't forget what day it is! All things are mourning first, there is no reason to build a prison during the mourning period!"
"The emperor has passed away, but there are still the empress dowager and empress in the palace. Now both palaces are grieving because of the emperor's death, and the imperial hospital may be used anytime and anywhere. If those quack doctors make another mistake, both palaces will be damaged.
Palace, so what? If it is not a great filial piety to say that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to renovate the Taiyuan Hospital for the sake of the royal body of the two palaces, then what is a great filial piety?"
When it comes to quoting scriptures, Xu Xun is certainly no match for these Confucian scholars who have read the Four Books and Five Classics, but when it comes to bickering and wrangling, he has never lost. After several rounds, he saw that the young official was alone, and he looked around
Seeing that he could not find anyone willing to cooperate, he knew that there were many people who hated the Taiyuan Hospital because of the death of Emperor Hongzhi, so he took advantage of the situation and cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, Crown Prince Jun has ordered that the person be escorted back to the palace and personally
During the interrogation, please give way first!"
Although he encountered a fierce battle, thanks to this encounter, Xu Xun finally escorted the person back to the palace smoothly. However, when he found the internal prison under the guidance of Jing Bu Le,
After meeting Zhang Yong, he found that there were two more uninvited people, who were Liu Jin and Gu Dayong. The first words Gu Dayong said surprised him again.
"Brother Xu, didn't you get Liu Wentai?" Seeing that Xu Xun's expression was as he expected, Gu Dayong laughed and said, "I knew the people under me would not get it wrong.
...Do you know where Liu Wentai is hiding? This old boy is slipperier than a rabbit, and he actually hid in Wenyuan Pavilion!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xun couldn't help being shocked and angry. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Liu Jin and Gu Dayong and said, "Since you two are here, does His Highness the Crown Prince know about this?"
"Of course Your Highness knows." Liu Jin hurriedly took over the conversation and scolded Liu Wentai twice through gritted teeth. He then said angrily, "This Liu Wentai is the person His Highness the Crown Prince named to arrest. The cabinet should protect such a person who deserves to be punished."
What the hell are these quackery doctors! Brother Xu, His Highness was originally going to go there in person, but after thinking about it, I persuaded His Highness to go back. After all, it would be a bad idea for His Highness to go to the cabinet and have a conflict with the cabinet ministers these days.
At this moment, Gu Dayong sent people to keep an eye on Wenyuan Pavilion.
