Liu Chengfeng smiled, and his tone added a little sternness to his tone. He continued to ask: "There are only two people who know about this, either you or Eunuch Xiao. Now you refuse to admit it. Of course, it means that Eunuch Xiao is not strict and leaks to the outside world.
This secret matter.”
Zheng Qiu was so scared that he was sweating coldly. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Master, who is Zuzong Xiao? How could such a palace matter be told to others at will? But I have never leaked it to others.
, Or... or I think about it again... think about it again..."
Want to ask something from such a versatile eunuch, if you don’t press it step by step, it will not work. Liu Chengfeng knew in his heart that Zheng Qiu would never dare to wrongly accuse Xiao Jing, but he also wanted to leave it clear.
Relationship. Liu Chengfeng wanted to know what Zheng Qiu could come up with.
Liu Chengfeng was not in a hurry and said slowly: "You should think about it, but time cannot be delayed. I will sit here and wait for you to think slowly. But I am a little dry now. Is there tea here?"
"Yes...yes..." Zheng Qiu, who looked like a mortal face, quickly brought a cup of tea and brought it to Liu Chengfeng's hand. Then he stood obediently on his head, looking like he was scratching his head and ears, but for a moment
I couldn't think of anything, and I felt so anxious that I felt cold sweat.
Liu Chengfeng was not in a hurry. For him, the palace should be the best place to start. Not many people know, and only a few people leaked the news. Follow the clues to find this person, and things will be easier to handle.
More.
After half an hour, Liu Chengfeng repeatedly urged him. Seeing that time had passed, Liu Chengfeng looked like he was leaving. Zheng Qiu hurriedly pulled Liu Chengfeng, but refused to do so.
Let Liu Chengfeng go, he is not a fool. Duke Lian will not ask for anything from him today. He will not give any reason to shirk his responsibilities. When Duke Lian leaves, he will not come to look for him next time.
The Duke of the Kingdom is the personal army of the Jinyiwei, and it is impossible for everyone to speak here. Instead, they are in the imperial prison.
"Master...Master...I thought of it." Zheng Qiu pulled Liu Chengfeng's sleeve robe and shouted because it was too urgent. The blue veins on his forehead also appeared.
Liu Chengfeng pulled his hand away and said, "If you think of it, just say it quickly, I don't have time to procrastinate with you."
Zheng Qiu bowed and said, "I... I thought of something. Your Majesty's medicine was tormented by the pharmacy of Shangshenjian. These eunuchs who decocted medicine also knew some pharmacology. Think about it, Your Majesty
It is said to be slightly cold, but this cold and hot medicine is completely different from His Majesty's medicine. The eunuchs who decocted medicine in Shangshen looked at the prescription. With their eyesight, wouldn't they know what the medicine they had tormented were cured?
What disease is it? Although Your Majesty did not reveal a piece of words to them, they had already learned about Your Majesty's condition through the prescription and the medicine they took every day. Yes, those dogs in Shangshenjian like the most is gathering
Let’s talk nonsense together, it must be what they spread. The Duke’s clarification…”
Zheng Qiu said while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and finally found some scapegoats, which made him feel relieved.
Liu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes. What Zheng Qiu said was not unreasonable. There were several eunuchs in Shangshenjian who specialized in boiling medicine. Under normal circumstances, not everyone could torment the medicine of the emperor and noble people. First of all,
These eunuchs can only be able to recognize medicine. Otherwise, they can’t even distinguish between bitter sandalwood leaves and ear water amaranth. How can they be used as medicine to torture? Since these eunuchs know medicine, they must be familiar with the properties of medicinal materials. Which medicine treats what disease?
How could he not know? Since you know, based on the prescription alone, you must be able to roughly guess what disease the emperor suffered from.
Is this the crux of the matter?
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little upset. If it were really been spread by the eunuch who decocted medicine, then it would be difficult to say that the entire Forbidden City had already spread this news. If everyone knew about it, they pretended not to know it. , If you want to find out this internal response, I am afraid that the difficulty has increased by many times.
Liu Chengfeng asked Zheng Qiu impatiently: "How many eunuchs do Shangshenjian have in total who decoct medicine?"
Zheng Qiu seemed to have grabbed the straw that saved his life and said hurriedly: "In fact, there are not many people, and there are only two people who have the fullest plan. Should the master ask them? Otherwise, I will call them here? You will know."
Liu Chengfeng waved his hand: "Then go and go back quickly, I will give you a stick of incense, as soon as possible."
Zheng Qiu quickly responded and went there as if he was amnesty.
Liu Chengfeng sat alone in this small hall. After drinking a sip of tea, he found that the tea was already cold. However, the coldness made him cheer up. He was tidying up his mind while bored, but he heard someone outside say : "Is Eunuch Zheng here? Hey... we have another memorial and asked him to hand it over."
"Eunuch Zheng... Just left, Eunuch Wang, what are you doing? Let me tell you the truth, Your Majesty is advising you now, and you don't have time to see you."
"Oh..." The person who asked suddenly showed disappointment.
Handing the memorial?
Liu Chengfeng was sitting inside, and there were rules for the court's memorials to be handed over to the palace. Generally, they were sent to the Tongzhengsi Department first, and then the Tongzhengsi Department took the cabinet ticket to draft it. Then there will be a special box to The memorial book he had prepared was sent to the palace. When he arrived at the Sili Supervisor, the Sili Supervisor was responsible for picking and then submitting it to the imperial front and imperial viewing.
But an eunuch outside said that a memorial was submitted to the imperial court. Look, the other party didn't look like a person from the Silijian. What's the name?
Liu Chengfeng is also bored. If it were someone else, he would not have thought about meddling in this nostalgic business. However, Liu Chengfeng is the nostalgic businessman. He stood up and went to the door of the hall and saw someone. The eunuch was smiling and talking to a eunuch standing under a tree outside. Liu Chengfeng frowned and coughed suddenly.
Liu Chengfeng's cough attracted the attention of two eunuchs outside. When the eunuchs waiting outside saw Liu Chengfeng coming out, he hurriedly jogged over and saluted Liu Chengfeng and said, "Hello, Mr. Duke."
Liu Chengfeng nodded at the eunuch, but pointed his hand at another eunuch and said, "Who is he? What are he doing in this palace?"
The attentive eunuch immediately replied: "This is Wang An of Tongzhengsi, who wants to hand in the memorial."
Seeing that Liu Chengfeng was extraordinary, Wang An also bowed his eyebrows and saluted. He had not heard the little eunuch's name to Liu Chengfeng clearly. He only thought that Liu Chengfeng was very noble and was wearing a flying fish he gave him. I was convinced, and I knew that Liu Chengfeng must be a royal relative, so I smiled and said, "I have seen it... I have seen it..."
When he stopped here, Wang An was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what to call Liu Chengfeng.
However, the eunuch beside him saw that he was embarrassed and quickly whispered: "This is Duke Lian, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Lord Liu."
Wang An's smile froze, his eyes flashed for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "I have seen the grandpa, I will be blessed."
Liu Chengfeng just glanced at Wang An with the corner of his eyes and asked lightly: "You eunuch from Tongzhengsi, but why did you come to the palace to hand over the memorial? Have you ever drafted a ticket for the memorial you sent? ”
Wang An hesitated and said, "I haven't read it yet. Your Majesty said that if there is an urgent report, you can ask the Tongzheng Department to send it urgently, so I dare not..."
"Random!" Liu Chengfeng sneered and scolded: "Do you know the courage? Since you know that this is a corruption, you still dare to act so boldly? Take your memorial and get out of the cabinet quickly and dare to commit foul again.
Even Your Majesty will forgive you, but I will not forgive you."
Wang An originally wanted to carry the emperor out, but Liu Chengfeng said to you, Your Majesty, but I didn't give up, and you scared him into a cold sweat. The person in front of him is famous. If he said that, how dare Wang An provoke him?
An suddenly became like a docile kitten, and quickly hunched over and said, "Yes, yes... I deserve to die, I will follow the rules..." After that, he ran away hurriedly.
The story of Wang An taking the urgent memorial to invite favor was long ago, and many people were jealous and dissatisfied. As soon as Wang An left, the eunuch who had been guarding outside couldn't help but say, "Master, this
Wang An is the most shameless. Since the last time he handed a memorial to the palace, His Majesty was quite satisfied. He picked up some and urgently reported it to the palace. Tongzhengsi can't control him now, but the cabinet
Although Bian was unhappy, he couldn't say anything. Unexpectedly, he met his father and made him feel disappointed."
"Oh? Memorial? What kind of memorial was handed in?" Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but cheer up and asked.
The eunuch said, "This matter has something to do with the grandfather. The memorial is the memorial of the grandfather. At that time, the grandfather had not received any news for a long time after he went out of the frontier. His Majesty was very anxious. Wang An saw through His Majesty's thoughts.
With the courage to break the rules, he handed the grandfather's memorial in directly. After seeing the grandfather's memorial, His Majesty did not scold him, but instead praised him a few words, so Wang An followed the rod and went.
Climb up and often enter the palace to meet."
Liu Chengfeng smiled coldly and said, "This kind of person is really a villain. Forget it, just send it away. You can wait outside."
He returned to the hall again, sat on the chair and fell into deep thought.
After a stick of incense, Zheng Qiu led two eunuchs over and returned to Liu Chengfeng: "Master, you have brought all the people you want, please deal with it."
Liu Chengfeng nodded at Zheng Qiu, and his eyes swept across the two eunuchs. These two eunuchs were old, about 70 years old, and even their legs were inconvenient. Liu Chengfeng even thought to himself,
It’s not this old eunuch who is familiar with pharmacology and is a talented person in the palace. At this age, he has probably been sent to live outside the palace.
As for the other eunuch, he was not young anymore, with a hunched back and looking uneasy.
