Chapter 160: Imperial Physician Guo
Huang Qiong was not surprised that the front division of the palace and the left army of the control crane, as well as the military department and the Privy Council, which were in charge of the army, had an accident. These assassins used the waist card of the Left Army of the Crane Controlling Crane, and these yamen could not get rid of it no matter how you looked at it. Especially the palace front division who is in charge of the left army of the control crane, it can even be said that he has a lot of responsibility.
But the other yamen, just like Jia Quan said, are a little inexplicable. If it weren't for the old man taking the opportunity to clean up the court, I'm afraid there would be no other excuse. Especially in the DPRK, a few princes' dead friends have all been cleared out of the court this time, and the lightest one is also dismissed and returned to his hometown, is it the old man's preparation?
"Lord Wang, the emperor's power is really a little incomprehensible now. Others don't talk about it, the left squire of the military department, and the household squire are both known for their ability, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor is the minister of the humerus in the court, and this time they were also demoted out of the capital. ”
"There is also a fourth-grade bachelor of Hanlin Academy, who is still the champion of Mingde for eight years, and he still has the title of Wenyuan Pavilion bachelor. In addition, there are also the director of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, a member of the Ministry of Rites, and two imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory, all of whom are young and promising, and even officials who were promoted by the emperor himself. This time, they were all demoted out of the capital. ”
After listening to Jia Quan's talk about the identities of these officials, Huang Qiong, who was a little clear, couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the old man had good intentions. These people now seem to be demoted and degraded, but this is only a matter of superficial appearance. In fact, the old man's actions are all protecting them in disguise.
Looking at Jia Quan, who was a little speechless, Huang Qiong shook his head and sighed slightly: "Actually, this is not difficult to understand. The fact that these officials are now being demoted or even removed from office is not necessarily a bad thing at the moment. Even for them, it may be a good thing in the near future. ”
"The assassination of this king may have given the old man a sense of crisis. I feel that the battle for the throne between the princes has reached a point where the old man, who has always been conceited, feels that there is a trend that cannot be controlled. Perhaps in his opinion, it has even reached the point where it has affected the stability of the DPRK situation. ”
"These brothers of this king turned out to be quite obscure. At least under the nose of the old man, no matter how he fights openly and secretly in private, at least on the surface, it is not too much. But now, almost with great fanfare, there are all kinds of connections to be wooed. I'm afraid that even those ministers in Zhongshu Province are now somewhat fluctuating. ”
"These officials who have suffered unjustified disasters are all capable officials, and they are all officials who have been promoted by the old man himself. Many of these officials, one can even say that they are young and ambitious, and most of them are in key positions. Most of these people will become the targets of the princes who are now being purged in the court. ”
"Whether or not it was really co-opted, one thing is clear. These people stay in Beijing, whether they want to or not, they will involuntarily get involved in the battle between the princes. In the DPRK, as long as you are in that position, it is impossible not to take sides. And taking sides too early is not only bad for their future development, but also not good for themselves. ”
"In the future, no matter who succeeds to the throne of these brothers of this king, unless it is their backstage who ascends the throne, whether these people are co-opted by other princes or not, the new monarch will become the target of purge if he succeeds to the throne, and even if he does not succeed, he will be killed. In that case, it will be a real irreparable loss to the government. ”
"At this time, the old man let them out, and their positions were generally demoted by a few levels. On the surface, it is to investigate the assassination of this king, and the two crimes of not being able to come up with money and grain for disaster relief some time ago. But in fact, the old man transferred them out of the capital, which is a nest of right and wrong, and is protecting them in disguise. ”
"At present, the illness in the Middle Palace is getting worse day by day, and this battle for the heir may be even more cruel, and it may even be bloody. The old man wanted to find a few whetstones for the prince, but he didn't expect that the situation would get out of control. Every time something happens, a group of officials will be involved. If this continues, I am afraid that the imperial court will be greatly damaged. ”
"Demotion them and let them out, even if some people want to win them over, they probably lose interest. The old man did this, but it can be regarded as well-intentioned. That is, he put on a posture of holding a butcher's knife high, trying to suppress some people who were about to move, and also kept such a large number of capable officials in disguise. ”
"As for the future, as long as these people are not involved in the dispute between the prince and the prince, no matter who comes to power, they will be employed. Whether to recover or not is not a matter of the old man or the new gentleman. If you don't believe me, sir, we can watch. I don't dare to say to others, at least the two squires of the military department and the household department will definitely come to the cabinet to pay respects in the future. ”
"It's a pity that the old man's hard work, whether the king's brothers can understand it or not, is unknown. The king didn't know much about the situation at the beginning, but one thing is for sure, the battle for the heir back then must have been provoked by the old man. Otherwise, whether it is King Jing or King Duan, or someone who is still hiding in the dark, it is impossible for them to have such courage. ”
"Even if there were, it was easy for the old man to suppress it when he was not yet successful. If it weren't for the conscious connivance of the old man, who sealed the two kings of Jing and Duan, close to the capital, I am afraid that this battle for the heir would not have come to this point. ”
"The most important thing is that it is not only the so-called sister-in-law who is involved now. There are some things, and there are other princes behind it. Although the old man didn't want to admit it, and had been trying to control this battle for the heir to the four sons of the Middle Palace, the current situation was no longer something he could control. ”
Whether he wanted to see it or not, the elders of the princes in Beijing, including King Teng and King Ji, who were already outside, had already been involved. Even the best brother of this king, King Yong may not really have any thoughts. The old man wanted to disturb the water, but he didn't expect to bring out all the pots and jars under the water. ”
"In this matter, it seems that the problem is on the princes on the surface, but in fact, the root is in the old man. It's just that he is both a father and a king, and there are no parents in the world who are not, and who dares to find out his faults. Originally, Huang Qiong wanted to talk about fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs, but when she thought that she was also one of them, she changed it to a jar.
After that, Huang Qiong almost habitually walked to the window, looking at the drizzle outside the window that had been falling since the early morning, and couldn't help but feel like the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings. This is a habitual practice when he encounters problems. Every time he walked to the window, Jia Quan knew that his master, he was thinking or thinking about something again.
It's just that now, Huang Qiong doesn't have as much thought as Jia Quan thinks. His mind was on what he should do before the overall situation was chaotic. I don't have anything to do in advance, and I don't need to do those ghostly moves. It's just that although the truth is this, there are some things that you still have to do.
As the mother said, this time she lost Sister Yao and her unborn child, so what about next time? Regardless of whether it will be you who will fall next, this painful experience must not be repeated again. Facts have proven that there are some things that others are willing to let go of if they don't want to fight.
This assassination of himself, whether someone borrowed a knife to kill someone, or someone really wanted revenge. As long as he is still in the capital, it is really difficult to hide. Since you can't escape if you don't fight, you can't be beaten so passively. After making up her mind, Huang Qiong turned to look at Jia Quan and said, "Sir, can you find a way to get a copy of the list of officials who have been demoted this time?" ”
Looking at the time when she said this, Huang Qiong was so calm that she couldn't calm her expression. Jia Quan, who couldn't help but think of something, showed an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth: "Lord Wang, this matter is fine." A list is not a confidential matter, and there is still a way to do it. Quan mentioned to the prince that the friend in the ministry should be able to help. ”
"The right to get this list in the shortest possible time. Lord, the emperor has removed so many officials this time, in order not to affect the operation of the imperial court, another group of officials will definitely be transferred to fill them. With this lesson, Quan thought that the emperor would definitely transfer a large number of foreign officials to Beijing, should we think of a way? ”
"The emperor's newly transferred officials to Beijing this time think that they should all have nothing to do with the prince. Let's think of a way from the middle, it may not be impossible at all. Let's see if we can get the list of these officials. ”
"There is one more thing, Quan will not have time to report to the prince in the future. When the prince was poisoned, the emperor personally brought Imperial Doctor Guo to the palace to treat the prince. It wasn't until you were completely out of danger that this Imperial Physician Guo returned to the palace. During the days of your diagnosis and treatment, this Imperial Doctor Guo and Dr. Li in the house had a sense of sympathy, and now they can be said to be irreversible. ”
"Imperial Doctor Guo? This king seems to have some impressions. When I woke up from a coma for the first time, there was indeed an outsider besides Dr. Li. Could it be that he is the old man who sent some kind of Imperial Doctor Guo to treat this king? can get so much attention from the old man, presumably this Imperial Doctor Guo should also be a character. Hearing the name of Imperial Physician Guo, Huang Qiong had a vague impression.
"Lord Wang, don't underestimate this Imperial Doctor Guo, this person is the emperor's best friend when he was in the palace. It has a great influence on the emperor and even the government. Although the emperor cannot say that he obeys his words, he has to consult him on many major policies. He was never even called by his name, and was always referred to as an old friend. ”
"It's just that this Imperial Physician Guo is extremely low-key, and he has never relied on the emperor's favor to fly high. Although because of their special status, all the princes have been wooed in every possible way. During the New Year's holidays, the big gifts and small gifts are continuous. But he had never seen anything he had received from the prince. He also kept his distance from all the princes, including the crown prince. ”
"I never interfere in the government affairs in ordinary times, and I don't allow my sons and nephews to enter the court as officials. But with his influence on the emperor, he can be said to be the first person in the court. Because this person has a great influence on the emperor, he is even known as the prime minister who is not named in the court. By the way, he also knows the mother of the prince. Listening to him and Dr. Li, he and Concubine Jing are also acquaintances. ”
From the mouth of Dr. Li, Quan knew that this person had a very good impression of the prince. and Dr. Li have become close friends because of their medical skills. Even this Imperial Physician Guo, when discussing medical skills with him, also took out the pulse case of the current queen and discussed it with Dr. Li. ”
Afterwards, Dr. Li told Quan that judging from the case of the queen's veins he saw, the queen was now running out of oil. If it weren't for the ginseng soup that has been hanging, I'm afraid it would have been shalted a long time ago. Even if all kinds of rare medicinal materials have been used, but the manpower will not return to heaven after all, maybe just this month. ”
