Chapter 618: Taking Advantage of His Illness to Kill Him
Four years ago, the capital.
"Why did you fall overboard?" Nine thousand years old paced anxiously. On the bed next to him lay His Majesty the Emperor who was still unconscious, and Wu Zhiwang, Wang Huazhen and other major doctors of the medical school were gathering there to study His Majesty's condition, there was no need for the imperial doctor or anything, these old guys picked out one at random, and they were all beaten by those imperial doctors who were messing around.
The queen and her gang were also watching. Even the queen still led the crown prince, and Concubine Ren also hugged her son, as if the family was going to part with life and death, and even the concubines of Emperor Zheng and Concubine Li, who had not shown up for a long time, came.
However, these two women have no sense of existence in the palace for a long time, and they just sit honestly on the side. However, King Xin has not entered the palace for the time being, at this time King Xin has become married, the princess is Tian Xiuying, originally she and Yuan Guifei were Chongzhen's concubines when he was King Xin, this time there was no competition from Zhou Luoli, and naturally won the position of princess.
During this time, King Xin really became more and more virtuous, he was simply the seedling of the Holy Lord Mingjun, not only read poetry and books, but also lived a simple life, and his clothes were patched every day, according to Princess Tian, he had to mend his clothes, no wonder the civil officials were a little suffocated.
But sighing is useless. Who called him a younger brother, and even if his brother died, it would not be his turn. What about his brother and son!
Originally, most Wenchen also gave up their illusions, after all, his brother was not so unbearable after breaking up with Yang Xin, and it was difficult for him to have a show because of his identity, but now ...... No, no!
His Majesty the Emperor fell into the water while testing his paddle steamer in Taiye Pond, which was the second use of his steam engine, and the most important use of the steam engine that Yang Xin envisioned for him was the steam-powered paddle steamer, and Yang Xin also made a model for him...... And, of course, the battleship's.
Starting from steam-powered paddle steamers, to steam-powered propeller ships, and finally to the huge Warrior Ship Tsu Sakura Emperor His Majesty can't wait for a long time.
Although the steam engine could only run for more than ten minutes and the efficiency was very low, he immediately put a flat-bottomed ship on the paddle wheel for testing, which was also to prove the value of this thing to the military generals, after all, if it could really be used as ship power, the value of the steam engine immediately became clear.
But just when the ship was loaded for testing, His Majesty the Emperor, who was turning with the rotation of the paddle wheel, watched the ship under his feet and cheered, suddenly dizzy and fell under the boat, although the guards next to him reacted quickly and jumped down to rescue, but it was close to the early winter, and His Majesty the Emperor was still bedridden after soaking in the cold water.
"Nine thousand years old, Sun Ge is old!" A eunuch whispered. Nine thousand years old hurriedly greeted him, Sun Chengzong walked in with a solemn face, although the two old guys have been fighting openly and secretly for all these years, they can be regarded as sympathetic to each other.
After all, they all represent the interests of the northern gentry. It's just that there are many fortunate people around the nine thousand years old, especially those new-hearted industrialists and merchants, and behind Sun Chengzong are pure land gentry, those so-called Qingliu who cultivate and read heirlooms, the basic plate is different, but in safeguarding the interests of the north, especially when the southerners gradually begin to learn to abandon the north, they are obviously cooperative.
After all, the ass sits on the side. As for this reform...... Sun Chengzong was in favor of the reform of the salt industry. After all, he also knew that the most important thing now was taxes, and it was useless to talk about anything without money in his hands, whether it was the reform of the army or the famine in the future, he would need a lot of money to deal with.
But the inventory of the land involves too much, especially the basic plate that involves him, that is, those Qingliu who cultivate and read the heirloom, these are all the main forces of the famous tax exemption and hidden fields in various places, once the inventory is carried out, it will be really disturbed.
But the simple reform of the salt industry involves some after all, and most of the main forces of the salt merchants in the north are dependent on martyrdom, and he certainly supports the interests of the nine thousand years old.
The same goes for tax inspectors. The left and right tax supervisors cannot hurt the interests of the north, and this is aimed at Fujian and Guangdong. But the inventory of the land in various places, and even the gentry as an errand to pay grain, this involvement is too wide, when Yang Xin was forced before, the gentry did grit their teeth and promised to accept the integrated errand payment, but that was mainly promised by the southern gentry, and the northern gentry still did not promise.
The response he gave was to reduce the clan's salary, and simply stop giving the clan a fortune in the future. Anyway, there are fields, as little as a million or more than a million, even if there are a million acres of land, a clan will have an average of several hundred acres, so why bother giving them a fortune, just let them solve it themselves, and the court will send someone to preside over the rearrangement of the vassal king's land and divide the land for them according to their rank.
In order to solve the financial difficulties of the imperial court in this way, someone had to make sacrifices, so let the clan and salt merchants make sacrifices to protect the interests of the landed gentry.
In the end, the clan has no ability to resist. In fact, the salt merchants have no ability to resist, and those officials and businessmen are not Huang Chao.
But the land gentry in the north are different, they are the real local emperors. This is the contradiction between Sun Chengzong and Jiu Qiansui, but in solving the financial problems of the imperial court, they are the same, but the goals of the two swords are different.
"How's the Eucharist?" Sun Chengzong said.
"I don't think it's a big problem, Your Majesty hasn't had any illness over the years." Nine thousand years old said with a sad face.
Qi really hasn't been sick all these years, his cleanliness lifestyle, coupled with the otaku personality who rarely goes out of the imperial city, allows him to avoid bacterial invasion to the greatest extent.
I've been working out before. But he soon gave up, after all, letting an otaku run, this is still too exaggerated, he was persuaded by Yang Xin at the beginning, and he worked out for a few days, but he still likes swimming, after all, it is still a good entertainment in the summer.
But not in the liquid pool, he himself built a huge swimming pool out of reinforced concrete, and even pasted tiles on it, as for changing the water...... Well, that's not a problem.
There was no pumping machine, but it didn't take long for five thousand Jingwei to carry buckets. However, it has now been replaced by a steam-powered pump, a huge pressurized well, which uses the same pistons as the steam engine to pump water...... The strength of a technical nerd is fully displayed.
Wu Zhiwang, who was studying the condition, turned around and walked over with a solemn face, Jiu Qiansui and Sun Ge Lao immediately stepped forward, Wu Zhiwang signaled to go out first, and the three of them went out together, Her Royal Highness wanted to follow but finally stopped.
"Your Majesty is weak and then invaded by the cold, and now it's just a fever, but it's not a big deal, fortunately, the dirty water didn't enter the lungs in time." Outside the door, Wu Zhiwang said in a low voice.
"Fine?" Sun Chengzong said.
"Just falling into the water is fine, but Your Majesty's conquest is excessive, although it seems that there is no disease and no disaster on weekdays, but it is difficult to deal with this disease, and I still dare not be foolproof." Takeshi Wangdao.
However, Jiuqiansui and Sun Chengzong still breathed a sigh of relief. It's not a big deal, it's inevitable to overconquer this kind of thing, it's the age of the early twenties, guarding so many beauties in the palace, and I like to take that medicine recently, who is not a few times a night of spring breeze at this age, as long as it's not really seriously ill.
"Thank you, this is really blessed by Taizu." Nine thousand years old. Then, as soon as he finished, there was a shout of surprise from inside.
"Long live the Lord awake!" A few of them hurried back into the house. At this time, Qi had already opened his eyes, but he still looked confused, but fortunately, it was a good thing to wake up, after all, he was afraid that he would be in a coma all the time with such a high fever......
"Quick, go decoction!" Nine thousand years old shouted. Next to him, Concubine Ren pulled him. Nine thousand years old quickly woke up......
"Come on, follow our family to decoction medicine!" He shouted.
"Nine thousand years old, you don't have to do this kind of thing yourself, just hand it over!" His cronie, the eunuch Lu Xinchen, suddenly reached out and grabbed the prescription in front of him, and bowed and said grovelling while looking at the contents on it.
"Idiot!" Nine thousand years old kicked him directly and scolded.
"Damn, damn it!" Lu Xinchen hurriedly knelt down and said. As he spoke, he offered the prescription, and the nine thousand years old took the prescription and glared at him, but he also knew that this was a sycophancy, and there was nothing more, so he left in a hurry with a few eunuchs, and no one paid attention to this in the chaos.
Similarly, no one noticed that after the nine thousand years old left, Lu Xinchen left as fast as possible, and then went out of the Qianqing Gate to take a shortcut and went straight to the Donghua Gate, while the nine thousand years old took a sedan chair to walk the road of the Meridian Gate, and the two went out of the palace almost at the same time.
But Lu Xinchen got on the horse outside the Donghua Gate...... The Tai Hospital is not in the Royal Palace. In fact, the Tai Hospital is outside the imperial city, in the east of the huge urn city of Chengmen, and the Honglu Temple and other official offices are crowded in an official area, and it is very troublesome for the emperor to see a doctor, and the Tai Hospital is several miles away from the Qianqing Palace.
In fact, the Academy of Sciences also has a pharmacy, but it is not too complete in hospitals, and there are basically all the medicinal materials that can be used in this yamen, plus the nine thousand years old is also habitual, and the emperor has a strict system for taking medicine, and the emperor does not take medicine if he wants to.
Theoretically, you have to go too far with the hospital this procedure. So Jiu Qiansui didn't think about going to the Academy of Sciences, after all, according to the procedure, it was a decoction, and the hospital had to be sentenced to be present to supervise and even test the medicine.
Just when the nine thousand years old walked along the gates of the imperial city, and finally went out of the Chengmen, and then went out of the left gate of Chang'an and turned to the Tai Hospital, Lu Xinchen, who was galloping wildly, had already crossed the East Chang'an Avenue in front of him, plunged into a private house in Nanxunfang, and then grabbed the people who greeted him......
"Quick, write down the name of the medicine!" He said eagerly. Well, he is Huo Weihua's brother-in-law. (Two chapters, viral flu, my son was also infected yesterday, and my daughter is still hanging bottles) I want to talk about "Five Good Youths of Daming" with more like-minded people, WeChat attention
