Chapter 244: Father and Son, Soft and Strong
Since Wang Yue is in the name of sending the king to the cannon battle, his impulse to be a person can naturally be imagined. learned such a thing from Ye Guang, where could he bear the surname, and immediately returned to the palace from the Waidong Factory in a huff, and went straight to the Yamen of the Master of Ceremonies in the east gate of Huangwa. As soon as he entered it, he almost collided head-on with Chen Kuan, who came out.
"Lao Wang, why are you so angry?"
"I want to see Grandpa Xiao, is he here?"
When Chen Kuan heard that Wang Yue was looking for Xiao Jing, he was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said: "It's really unfortunate that Gonggong Xiao took leave and returned to his private house, saying that he could only enter the palace on duty tomorrow." If you are really in a hurry, you can send someone to deliver the letter, or you can run it yourself. But if there is nothing urgent, don't run to the house in Shichahai, that direction is a quiet place for Gonggong Xiao, and I don't like others to go there. Besides, that kind of idyllic atmosphere is not the tone we like. ”
"Alas, it's all together!" Wang Yue frowned angrily, stared at Chen Kuan for a while, and saw that the little eunuchs who came and went were looking here, so he pulled people to his straight room, and told Ye Guang everything he said, and asked impatiently, "What do you say about this?" ”
"I said Lao Wang, how can you take care of this matter?" Chen Kuan only felt that one head was two big, and he had to persuade bitterly, "Ye Guang is obviously very slippery and unwilling to touch his hands in this matter, so he told you, but you report it now, it is your duty to believe it or not, but if you don't report it, he will be held accountable, and he Ye Guang will fulfill his responsibility, and it will be cheaper to advance and retreat." In my opinion, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really pretends to be sick, it won't be a big deal......"
"But you should have heard, not only the prince, but Liu Wentai said to people after he was drunk that he met two people who pretended to be sick! He is the imperial doctor, the queen mother and the queen in the palace are all good, so apart from the prince, who else is qualified to let him go to the hospital? Before I returned to the palace, I specially asked the servants of the East Factory to inquire, and the result was good, this Liu Wentai also diagnosed the pulse of Jiao Fang, the servant of the ministry! It's not that you don't know what happened to the celebrant who impeached Jiao Fang and the people who protected him! ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Kuan's face couldn't help but become solemn. However, after thinking about it, he still persuaded in a low voice: "The more extensive it is, the more careful you should be. Lao Wang, it's not me talking about you, your quick temper should also be changed, it's always like a cannon that burns at a point, and you are the one who suffers every time. Don't say anything else, this time Gonggong Li went to the palace to hide in Qingjing, but you suffered a big loss, fortunately, Dai Yi has always been fair, otherwise you might not be unlucky! ”
"The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, it will become my conscience worthy of my own." Wang Yue saw Chen Kuan's face full of disapproval, and finally Huo Ran stood up, "You don't need to persuade you, since Gonggong Xiao is not here, and Gonggong Li is also in the palace, I will go to the palace to ask for a meeting, the merits of the matter, I have to let the emperor have a judgment." ”
Chen Kuan saw that Wang Yue just got up and went straight out of the door, wanting to stop people, but he opened his mouth, and finally sighed weakly, and finally the surname Suo also pulled out his legs and went out to find Dai Yi. This Xiao Jing is not here, Li Rong doesn't know what kind of situation it is in the Zhai Palace, and if something happens, there is only Dai Yi who can help block it!
Emperor Hongzhi meditates in the palace these days to calm his nerves, his vegetarian diet is not stained with meat, and he feels that his spirit is much stronger, and he has already ordered state affairs according to the cabinet vote, so he hardly cares much about those troubles. If it weren't for the fact that his only son came to make a fuss from time to time, he even had a feeling that he had finally achieved a positive result. At this time, when he heard Wang Yue's request to see him, although he was a little surprised, he thought about it and ordered someone to be passed in. However, after saluting, Wang Yue's first words made his good mood completely come to naught.
"Wang Yue, if you dare to talk nonsense this time, you know what the consequences are!"
"Of course the slave does." Wang Yue kowtowed again, and then hung his head with his hands on the ground and said, "This matter is the news that Jinyiwei inquired about, and the slave maid specially ordered Fanzi to inquire about Liu Wentai's whereabouts, and the plan is seven or eight points credible." Although it is not very accurate, Liu Wentai has been in charge of the imperial medical service for many years, how can this kind of thing be ignored? And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the country, related to the national body, if he is fooled again and again by such villains, it will become a habit, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Although Emperor Hongzhi was very angry with Wang Yue's words, he was also annoyed that he was in charge of Dongchang before, but he suddenly followed Li Rong blindly and tossed around, he had been able to use Wang Yue for so many years, how could he not know the Geng Zhi surname of this old guy. However, not to mention that President Liu Wentai has worked hard to cultivate Materia Medica, and his many years of imperial doctorhood, whenever he has a headache and brain fever, he can't believe that such a person would do such an unbelievable thing. After thinking about it, he finally stood up.
"Don't alarm the hospital. You go outside and secretly transfer a doctor with real means, and go to the Chengqian Palace with me. ”
Although Zhu Houzhao was first ill, everyone from the queen mother to the queen mother was present, and they couldn't be replaced by their bodies, but even Queen Zhang, who was worried, couldn't stay by her side all the time, so after a few days, Zhu Houzhao let people watch outside, and he was very busy in the palace. It must be known that in the name of transferring firearms outside, Zhang Yong really got a musket into the palace, and explained the principle to Zhu Houzhao, which immediately succeeded in arousing the prince's interest.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao took the handcuff to aim in the Xinuan Pavilion, and tried how to use the handcuff in hand-to-hand combat according to Zhang Yong's words, and the few little eunuchs who were picked up as opponents all cooperated and were knocked to the ground within two rounds, which made him so unhappy. However, at this moment, Ma Yongcheng suddenly broke the curtain and rushed in.
"The emperor is here!"
This sound was like a talisman, not to mention that Zhu Houzhao lost his handcuff and immediately got into bed at three moments, even the other eunuchs were busy cleaning up the mess one by one, and when Emperor Hongzhi strode in, except for Zhu Houzhao, who was lying on the bed and humming, everyone else was already kneeling on the ground neatly. But the emperor who came in didn't look at them, sat down at the head of the bed, stretched out his hand to the quilt and grabbed Zhu Houzhao's wrist out, and he ordered without looking back: "Doctor Ye, please check the pulse!" ”
Although the emperor said a word of invitation, the white-bearded doctor who entered the palace for the first time was already completely confused. He almost breathed smoothly and breathed smoothly, and then he knelt down tremblingly and diagnosed Zhu Houzhao's left hand - although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also tried to resist and struggle, but when Emperor Hongzhi's eyes glared at him, he immediately learned to be obedient - so, when the doctor had diagnosed the left and right, he lowered his head and said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very healthy, and Zhu Houzhao immediately knew that it was not good.
Therefore, seeing that Emperor Hongzhi, who was blushing with an iron face, waved his hand and ordered the doctor to go out, Zhu Houzhao broke free from his father's restraint, retracted his hand back into the quilt, and then snorted with his head stiff.
"Yes, I'm faking illness! Who told those gentlemen in the East Palace to talk about things that I am impatient to listen to all day long. Every day, I started to read it countless times, and then I repeated the old tune and talked about it, one would let me memorize this, one would let me write that, I was dying of heat on such a hot day, not to mention that they are so old! I think Wang Shouren also told me about the Analects at the beginning, and it sounded much more interesting and vivid than those people! They will only keep saying that the Holy Son of Heaven rules the world, which is not clear that I am allowed to stay in the palace honestly and entrust everything to them, even if they lie to me that every official is honest and honest, and every military general is brave to kill the enemy, I can only be fooled by them. What sages say, it's all bullshit......"
When Emperor Hongzhi saw Zhu Houzhao's irritable expression at first, he couldn't help but think of the urgency when he went out of the pavilion to study under the pressure of Concubine Wan, but gradually his face showed an irrepressible anger. When Zhu Houzhao said a deception, he finally couldn't hold back anymore, and subconsciously slapped him. However, when he found his son covering his face and looking at him in disbelief, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, but he still stood up fiercely.
"You are the prince of Daming, and the prince should look like a prince! From Ming Yue, I will go to the Wenhua Hall as usual to listen to the lectures, otherwise I will ......" Emperor Hongzhi coldly glanced at the eunuchs on the ground who were silent, and said word by word, "If the prince skips class or pretends to be sick again, he will wait for the first time to be forty rods, the second time to be eighty rods, and forty rods for each offense in the future...... I want to see how thick your skin is, and how many boards you can afford to wear! ”
Seeing Emperor Hongzhi brushing his sleeves away angrily, Zhu Houzhao finally couldn't hold back any longer, and as soon as he turned around, he lay down straight with his head facing in, and he actually pulled the quilt to cover his head. Several eunuchs saw the figure under the quilt gently undulating, as if they were actually sobbing, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and no one dared to say anything.
And coming out of the Chengqian Palace, Wang Yue, who was following beside him, saw that the emperor's anger had not subsided, and after thinking about it, he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, ...... Liu Wentai?"
"For such a big matter, the rest of the hospital is ignoring it, and it is definitely not Liu Wentai's responsibility alone. And if the news spreads, it will not be a laughing stock! Emperor Hongzhi suddenly stood up, pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "You go to the Chuanzhitai Hospital first, and summon Liu Wentai to come over to see me!" ”
The minister has impeached so many times over the years, but he has always spoiled these guys who are too hospital, he really protects them too well!
Wang Yue saw the emperor deal with it like this, but he also felt fair in his heart, and when he went down the steps, he remembered another stubble, and when he was about to ask a question, he had already ordered without looking back: "Jiao Fang, you ordered someone to pass on a word, just use your meaning, say that the affairs of the Ministry are busy, since Shangshu Ma Wensheng is sick, if he is sick again, the upper and lower affairs will only be managed by Zhang Shilang!" ”
For the emperor with a benevolent surname, this was already a rare heavy talk, so after Wang Yue agreed repeatedly, he quietly retreated. Thinking of the slap in Chengqian Palace just now, he still sighed in his heart.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not sensible! There are no civil officials in this world, do you still have to rely on these crippled eunuchs, or those military ministers who only know how to fight? Appointing the wise, hanging down the clothes and ruling the world, this is originally the principle of the sages!
