Chapter 259: The First Fire of the Monarch and Ministers (Part II)
"No Liu Wentai?"
After leaving the palace, although Xu Xun went straight to the Tai Hospital, he also sent someone Pegasus home at the same time, and brought Jing Bule to Xing'anbo Mansion. At this time, Xu Xun, who was firmly surrounding the Tai Hospital, led people to search inside and out three times, Shi Qin and several imperial doctors took it, but he didn't see Liu Wentai, he naturally frowned, but immediately said to Qian Ning, who came in to report: "Okay, take the people who should be brought and go back to the palace!" ”
Qian Ning hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but remind in a low voice: "Commander Xu, just now Gonggong Zhang seems to have said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was going to seal the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Pharmacy. We just sealed the Imperial Pharmacy in the palace, but now we have only arrested people from the Tai Hospital, is this not enough? Besides, what if these imperial doctors go out in tandem and say something......"
"The Imperial Pharmacy is in the palace, but the Imperial Hospital is outside the palace." Xu Xun sighed, pointed to the door and said, "The Qin Heavenly Prison in the south can be ignored, but you won't fail to see the yamen in the west and north here, right?" To the west is the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Households, and to the north is the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. Besides, there are still the queen mother and queen in the palace, that is, His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is not good to say that the body is too sad, and it is really necessary to seal the Tai Hospital, in case the nobles have a case, who will care? ”
Qian Ning immediately realized that he wanted to be left, and immediately said yes. At this time, it was reported outside that it was a joint invitation from several imperial doctors. Hearing those names that were never familiar, Xu Xun thought about it and ordered it to be passed in, but he left Qian Ning behind.
"Lord Xu, I don't know what else you want to lead the army to search in the Tai Hospital, and who else are you going to search?" The old lady doctor led by him is seventy miles away, although he is in good spirits, but when he speaks at this moment, there is an inexplicable taste of anger, "We are the imperial doctors who are dedicated to medical skills, and we are not criminals, you are making trouble in the name of His Royal Highness the Prince, what is the reason!" I heard that you are going to seal the Tai Hospital, do you know that this is a broken rule......"
Xu Xun didn't wait for the old lady doctor to finish speaking, so he coldly interrupted him and said, "There are still rules in the Tai Hospital? ”
As soon as these words came out, he saw that the old lady's upper and lower lips trembled all of a sudden, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry. However, he had no intention of letting it go lightly, and nodded slightly at Jing Bule. Sure enough, the next moment, Jing Bule sneered: "Liu Wentai and others are not ranked among the judges of the Tai Hospital because of their medical skills, he was a preacher before, and in the eighteenth year of Chenghua, there were fifty-two redundant members in the Tai Hospital, and he was among them, but he was left by the grace of the Xian Temple, and later he was promoted to the right of the general political envoy." As a result, as soon as the Xian Temple went, there were departments such as the Department of Rites to play Liu Wentai and others to be reused by quacks, and the prescriptions used by Yiying people and others were different and contradictory, and as a result, Yiying people were demoted, and Liu Wentai later falsely accused the minister, and asked for rewards several times and three times by repairing the materia medica, and everyone up and down knew it! ”
Jing Bule was originally the most proficient lieutenant around Fu Rong who was most familiar with the allusions to the various yamen inside and outside Beijing, and when he said this, he pulled out several nonsense deeds before and after the Tai Hospital, and said that the old doctors were red cheeks. And Xu Xun saw that the fire was almost over, so he coughed dryly and said: "Although there are these black sheep, the Tai Hospital is by no means all these corpse vegetarians. Now these things that should be cleaned up are taken for the time being, and those who are really capable can stand out, which is the original intention of setting up Tai Hospital back then. Qian Ning, if you go out to spread my word, you will say that except for these people who are taking it now, the rest of the people should be retained in their original positions. If you are confident in your medical skills, you can fold it and submit it, and I will return and submit it to the celebrant and the celebrant for selection. ”
"Yes, let's go!"
"Wait, you add another word. The emperor's funeral, both inside and outside the grief, at this moment, the hospital should be more united, rather than walking around to attract the anger of hundreds of officials, it is better to close the door and introspect, when the time comes, the wise and foolish will be self-evident. ”
Seeing Qian Ning leaving quickly, and the people below were pale for a while, Xu Xun naturally knew what they were afraid of. For example, Shi Qin and Liu Wentai have been in the Tai Hospital for twenty or thirty years, and there are naturally many henchmen up and down, but it is really difficult to say that they can run this Tai Hospital like an iron bucket. Especially now that these few leading ones have been arrested, how can they still stand up to their surnames if they really have the ability but have been suppressed for many years? But to make these people stand out, these old doctors who rely on the old and sell the old still think that they were old in the past, and it is time to abdicate and make way for the virtuous!
"I'm done with what I need to say, so please go back. Of course, when I leave, you can go to the elders of the various families to complain and intercede, but what will happen afterwards, then it is not good to say, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nowhere to come out! ”
Originally, everyone planned to ignore Xu Xun's warning, and try their best to go to the big guys in the DPRK or fan the flames, but when they heard Xu Xun's beating, the hot charcoal-like thoughts were immediately extinguished by a basin of cold water. For a moment, a few people who had just come in a hurry withdrew from the door, and only when they got outside, they heard several irrepressible shouts.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Liu Wentai is such a black sheep, he should have been driven out of the hospital a long time ago!"
"Shame on the apricot forest, scum of the medical way!"
These vents were heard by a few old ladies in their hearts, and they couldn't help but be full of anxiety while looking at each other. There are not a few officials in the court who are dissatisfied with the Tai Hospital, and the emperor's illness to death this time is shorter than that of Emperor Chenghua of Xianmiao. If there are really a large number of officials rushing forward this time, not to mention that Shi Qin, Liu Wentai and others will not be able to resist it, I am afraid that they will also suffer from the pond fish!
drew a big pie for those doctors who had been suppressed for many years in the Tai Hospital, and made a hope, and successfully provoked the internal contradictions of the Tai Hospital to stop vomiting, Xu Xun naturally would not stay in this place for long, and immediately ordered the escort to go out. However, as soon as he left the hospital, he found that there were many people in various official robes watching in front of the door, and the road was blocked tightly.
He was about to speak, when someone suddenly came out of the crowd and shouted in a deep voice: "Xu Xun, didn't the emperor order Jinyiwei to command Tongzhi Ye Guang to investigate your case?" There is not even a result in this case, how dare Ye Guang let you out privately! ”
"The result of the case has come out early, what kind of private firearms and gunpowder, it's all nonsense, Lord Ye has already played the emperor and knows it, so of course Commander Xu came out." Suddenly there was such a voice in the crowd, and the person who spoke followed slowly and slowly came out, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he arched his hand and said, "There are many people who know me, so I won't report my family here." By the way, Commander Xu still has the emperor's decree that he asked him to transfer the 12th regiment battalion back to Beijing, this lord of the military department, do you want to check it? ”
Xu Xun is not as familiar as Li Yifeng, and he really doesn't know this benevolent brother who spoke, and when he heard that he was from the military department, he couldn't help but feel moved. But then he saw another fellow come out with his head held high.
"Even if someone framed you before, now that the mountain is collapsing, you have surrounded the Tai Hospital, what does this mean?"
Xu Xun saw the others whispering, so he said calmly: "From the hospital envoy to the imperial doctor, many people have been negligent in their duties for many years. Now that the emperor is driving, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels that something is wrong, so he took down the people who have handled the pulse prescriptions and medical cases to investigate them strictly, is there anything wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince's filial piety? ”
Seeing that the man probably didn't expect him to throw Zhu Houzhao out directly, he choked up all of a sudden, so he said in an aggravated tone: "Besides, the Tai Hospital has been impeached for redundant quacks countless times over the years, and it was even rumored that it was once rumored to collude with monks and Taoists. ”
"You...... But don't forget, what is it now! Pepsi mourns first, how can there be a reason to raise a prison during the mourning period! ”
"The emperor has already passed away, but there are still queen mothers and queens in the palace, and now the two palaces are grief-stricken because of the death of the emperor, and they may use the hospital anytime and anywhere. What if those quacks have any more mistakes and damage the two palaces? If it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to rectify the Tai Hospital for the sake of the two palaces, it is not a great filial piety, then what is a great filial piety? ”
Compared with quoting classics, Xu Xun is certainly not the opponent of these Confucian scholars who have read the Four Books and Five Classics, but when it comes to bickering, he has never lost. After a few rounds at this time, he saw that the young official was lonely, and he looked around to see that he couldn't find anyone willing to cooperate, and he knew that there were not a few people who hated the Tai Hospital because of the death of Emperor Hongzhi, so he arched his hand and said: "Everyone, the crown prince Jun decreed, order the people to be escorted back to the palace for personal interrogation, and please let you go first!" ”
Although he encountered a verbal battle, thanks to this one, Xu Xun finally escorted people back to the palace smoothly. However, after he found the inner official supervisor and Zhang Yong under the guidance of Jing Bule, he found that there were two other uninvited people, Liu Jin and Gu Dayong. And the first sentence that Gu Da said with his mouth surprised him again.
"Brother Xu, didn't you get Liu Wentai?" Seeing that Xu Xun's face was really as he expected, Gu Dayong smiled hesitantly, "I know that the people under me can't be wrong...... Do you know where Liu Wentai is hiding? This old boy is even more slippery than a rabbit, he actually hid in Wenyuan Pavilion! ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xun couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and after pondering for a moment, he looked at Liu Jin and Gu Dayong and said, "Since you two are here, then does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know about this matter?" ”
"Of course Your Highness knows." Liu Jin hurriedly took over the conversation, gritted his teeth and scolded Liu Wentai twice, and he said angrily, "This Liu Wentai is the person named by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take, what is the matter with the cabinet protecting such a quack doctor who deserves death!" Brother Xu, His Royal Highness was originally going to go in person, but I thought about it and persuaded His Highness to go back. After all, it's not good that His Royal Highness has clashed with the cabinet elders. At this time, Gu Dayong sent someone to stare at Wenyuan Pavilion, let's just sum up what to do! ”
