Chapter 659: Royal Secret Medicine
A few days after Li Yuanyi's attack, the peace of Seoul was broken again, and there were rumors in the market that the mastermind behind the assassination of Li Yuanyi was the Gubei Party, the purpose of which was to prevent the rise of the Nanren Party under the leadership of Li Yuanyi after Li Hui was deposed.
The reason why the Gubei Party was able to monopolize the political situation in North Korea was naturally the support of Li Hui, who was able to maneuver between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin, and firmly controlled the power of the court, and his skill, scheming and courage were outstanding among the successive kings of North Korea.
According to historical records, the reason why Li Hui was able to usurp the throne later was not because Li Hui trusted him too much and was defenseless, and second, Li Hui was suffering from illness at that time, so Li Liang and the Westerners succeeded in taking risks.
If it weren't for Li Hui's illness, Li Lian would not dare to act rashly, after all, the army in Seoul is basically under the control of the Westerners, and their rash action is undoubtedly self-defeating.
With the abolition of Li Hui, the Gubei Party will lose its most powerful support in the court, and the prince Li Hui is too immature politically to have the ability of Li Hui, coupled with the suppression of the Ming envoys, he will not be able to provide the desired support to the Gubei Party at that time, and there will definitely be a new round of factional battles in the court.
At present, in the officialdom of North Korea, in addition to the dominant Gubei Party, the second most powerful party is not the Westerners' Party, but the second-largest Southerners' Party of Li Yuanyi.
Unlike the Westerners, who were middle- and low-level officials, many officials of the Southerners were high-ranking officials and had a prominent reputation, and the Westerners at this time could not be compared with the Southerners.
This is also why Li Liang made Li Yuanyi the leader of the council after the "Renzu Anyway" in history, and the two major leaders of the Westerners, Li Gui and Jin Yuan, are only the judges of Liucao, which is equivalent to the squire of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the leader of the Southerners Party has naturally become an important candidate for the Gubei Party to deal with, as long as it is eliminated, the Southerners will have no dragons and will not be able to compete with the Gubei Party.
Since this was a sensitive period in the DPRK political arena, the rumor that the Gubei Party was the mastermind behind the assassination of Lee Won-wing immediately caused a sensation in Seoul and spread throughout the city like a whirlwind, becoming the focus of people's discussion on the streets and alleys and after tea and dinner.
The Gubei Party naturally denied this, and Zheng Renhong had ordered a strict investigation of the rumors in the market, and arrested many people who discussed this rumor, which made the situation in Seoul officialdom even more complicated.
Zheng Renhong, Li Erzhan and others were extremely annoyed by the appearance of this rumor, thinking that the Nanren Party was secretly making a ghost and wanted to use the attack on Li Yuanyi to attack the Gubei Party.
At the same time, Li Yuanyi's condition continued to deteriorate, and although the doctors tried their best, they could not make Li Yuanyi's condition better, and they were helpless against Li Yuanyi's continued high fever.
Due to Li Yuanyi's serious illness, a group of high-ranking officials of the Nanren Party gathered in Li Yuanyi's mansion and waited for Li Yuanyi's last words before his death.
Originally, the Nanren Party did not link Li Yuanyi's attack with the Gubei Party, but as the saying goes, "no wind and no waves", the rumors on the market are not groundless, and now it is no secret that the Ming Dynasty wants to abolish Li Hui's throne and replace the prince Li Yi as the king of Joseon, which makes the Gubei Party have the motive to assassinate.
In the final analysis, Li Yuanyi's attack was still caused by the power in the officialdom, and the Gubei Party definitely did not want to give up the hard-won power of the court, so it was logical to attack Li Yuanyi.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty sent someone to bring medicine to the Wanping Mansion Monarch." Just when the members of the Nanren Party were frowning and discussing how to deal with the situation in the court after Li Yuanyi's death, a subordinate of the Li family walked into the room quickly and reported in a deep voice.
"Delivering medicine?" The officials of the Nanren Party couldn't help but look at each other in surprise when they heard this, and then they all got up to greet them.
In the courtyard of the front yard, the officials saw the person sent by the Ming envoy to deliver medicine, and to their surprise, the person who came turned out to be the same singing and dancing girl who wrote a poem at the reception banquet that welcomed the arrival of the Ming envoy last year.
"The little woman has seen all the adults." Seeing that the officials who came to greet him showed surprised expressions on their faces, Li Yi'er, who had long been mentally prepared, generously saluted everyone.
To be honest, Li Yier was very surprised that Li Hongyu chose her to deliver medicine this time, it stands to reason that this kind of thing will not be her turn, but since Li Hongyu asked her to come, she naturally can't shirk it.
"Miss Li!"
Those stunned Nanren Party officials suddenly came back to their senses when they heard this, and they all returned the salute to Li Yi'er, don't look at Li Yi'er's current identity is just a maid serving the Ming Mission, because she now represents the Ming Envoy, so the officials dare not slack off.
"Miss Li, I don't know what medicine the envoy brought to the Wanping Mansion?" After returning the salute, an official couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and asked curiously.
The rest of the people looked at Li Yi'er eagerly, and when the doctors were helpless about Li Yuanyi's condition, all their hopes were pinned on the medicine sent by the envoys of the Ming Dynasty.
"Lord Hui, this medicine was given by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to the envoy, it is rumored to be the royal secret medicine of the Ming Dynasty, it is extremely difficult to refine, although it cannot be said to have the effect of resurrecting the dead, but it is enough to cure many incurable diseases, which is precious."
Li Yi'er bowed slightly to the official and replied in a coquettish voice, in fact, she didn't know what the medicine Li Hongyu gave her, but she just told her the truth according to what Li Hongyu told her.
"Oh?" The officials of the Nanren Party couldn't help but look at each other in surprise when they heard this, they had never heard of the Ming Dynasty having such a miraculous drug.
"Since this is the case, then I also ask Miss Li to give medicine to Wanping Mansion as soon as possible." Subsequently, an official hurriedly made a gesture to Li Yi'er sideways, Li Yuanyi's condition was critical, and giving him medicine earlier would give him more hope of recovery.
When the rest of the officials heard this, they hurriedly dodged out of the way, they didn't want Li Yuanyi to die, in that case, the Nanren Party would not be able to compete with the Gubei Party, and the internal struggle for power would greatly damage the vitality of the Nanren Party, which shows the importance of Li Yuanyi.
Li Yier didn't know how effective the medicine Li Hongyu gave him, but at this point, she had no choice but to enter Li Yuanyi's ward.
"Grind this medicine into powder and let Wanping Mansion swallow it with warm water." After entering the room, Li Yier glanced at Li Yuanyi who was lying on the hospital bed, opened a small paper bag and handed it to a doctor, and the paper bag contained two white pills.
"This is ......" The doctor, who studied Chinese medicine, looked at the white pills in the paper bag with a puzzled expression, it was the first time he had seen a medicine to be swallowed with warm water, and it was usually necessary to decoction the medicine.
"This is the royal secret medicine of the Ming Dynasty, and it may be beneficial to the condition of the Emperor of Wanping Mansion." Li Yi'er knew that the doctor was puzzled, so she opened her mouth to explain.
Hearing that it was the secret medicine of the Ming Dynasty, the doctor did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly crushed the two pills into powder according to Li Yi'er's request, and then asked the maid of the Li family to help Li Yuanyi, who had a high fever, and swallowed it with warm water.
After Li Yuanyi finished taking the medicine, Li Yi'er did not leave, but waited in the side room, Li Hongyu told her that if the two white pills had medicinal effects, the fever should be subsided in half an hour, and she would stay to see if the pills were effective.
What people at the scene didn't know was that Li Yier actually had two packs of pills on her body, two packs of each, and if the medicine worked, she would be handed over to the Li family by these two packets of pills, and let them give Li Yuanyi to take them every three hours, and Li Yuanyi's high fever would subside.
The officials of the Nanren Party gathered in the courtyard and whispered about the Ming royal secret medicine that Li Yi'er brought him, although the name of the medicine was quite bluffing, but everyone was not very optimistic about it, thinking that this was just a piece of the mind of the Ming envoys, where in the world would there be such a miraculous drug.
Li Yi'er paced back and forth in the wing room in a nervous mood, secretly praying in her heart that the "royal secret medicine" given to her by Li Hongyu would work, and she didn't want a great Confucian like Li Yuanyi to die like this.
"Retreat, the high fever of the palace has subsided!" Just as Li Yi'er was waiting anxiously, a surprised voice came from the courtyard, as if the maid who was waiting for Li Yuanyi to come out in front of the hospital bed.
Li Yi'er breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and walked out of the door to check, and the officials in the courtyard who were talking in a low voice first made a commotion, and then rushed into Li Yuanyi's hospital room.
At this time, Li Yuanyi, who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, had a high fever that had subsided, although he still had some fever, but in the doctor's opinion, there was no major problem, these fevers were normal pathological phenomena, and they should be able to completely subside after taking a few more medicines.
After Li Yier was sure that the medicine was effective for Li Yuanyi, she took out the two packs of pills on her body and handed them to the people of the Li family, and after telling them how to use them, she got up and went back to the guest house to resume her life, but she didn't expect that the medicine handed over to her by Li Hongyu really had such a miraculous effect.
The officials of the Southern People's Party are extremely grateful to the Ming envoy for this, and the Ming envoy gave Li Yuanyi the life-saving medicine given by the emperor, which is undoubtedly Li Yuanyi's life-saving benefactor.
The "royal secret medicine" mentioned by Li Yier naturally refers to the penicillin tablets secretly developed by the Customs Department, which is a good medicine for dealing with infectious bacteria.
In fact, Li Hongyu had secretly added some penicillin powder to the decoction that the doctor had boiled for Li Yuanyi, and the results showed that Li Yuanyi was not allergic to penicillin, so he sent Li Yi'er over.
The reason why Li Yier was selected by Li Hongyu to be the person who delivered medicine to Li Yuanyi must have Li Hongyu's plan, Li Hongyu wants to contact the Nanren Party through Li Yier, after all, Li Yier is a North Korean, and it is more convenient to get close to the Nanren Party.
The outside world can see that Li Yier has a close relationship with Li Hongyu through Li Yier's delivery of medicine, and it is natural that Li Yier, including the Nanren Party, will curry favor with Li Yier.
Speaking of Li Hongyu, this is also a helpless move, since North Korea became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the officials sent to North Korea by the Ming Dynasty are called "envoys", and the North Korean officials are in awe of them.
Therefore, it is inconvenient for Li Hongyu to contact those North Korean officials, and he needs to find an agent to be busy with this matter, and Li Yi'er, who does not belong to any faction in North Korean officialdom, is the best candidate.
After taking the "Royal Secret Medicine", Li Yuanyi's condition was under control and gradually improved, and the people of the Nanren Party secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the tense atmosphere in the North Korean officialdom did not dissipate with the improvement of Li Yuanyi's condition, but became more and more solemn, and members of other factions, led by the Yurbo, regarded the murderer behind the assassination of Li Yuanyi as the Gubei Party, and a confrontation between the two sides appeared.
If it is left in the past, Li Hui will definitely find a way to deal with this conflict in the officialdom, but unfortunately Li Hui is now difficult to protect himself, with the popularity of the rumors that the Ming Dynasty is going to abolish his throne, his words are no longer as authoritative as before, and he is not willing to intervene in this incident at this time, it is obvious that it is the Ming envoy who is in charge of Seoul now, not him.
