Chapter 258: The First Fire of the Monarch and the Ministers (Part II)
Sealed the Imperial Pharmacy and the Imperial Hospital?
When Xu Xun heard Zhang Yong's order to turn this Zhu Houzhao, he muttered in his heart for a while, and immediately understood what was the most appropriate way to do it. So, without saying a word, he ordered someone to recruit a full fifteen hundred households, and summoned Wang Shikun, Qi Jiliang, Zhang Zong, and Xu Yanche all over, and dispatched 1,500 people from the 12th regiment and battalion in front of everyone, and distributed them in a team of 300 people, and then asked Wang Shikun and others to lead the army of 500 guards, and let them guard the four gates of the outer imperial city and the inner palace city respectively. When everyone happily received the order, he nodded slightly at the last three hundred households and Qian Ning.
"They went to guard the four gates of the palace, and you were assigned other important tasks." Speaking of this, Xu Xun paused slightly, seeing that Qian Ning could still hold it, but the three hundred households were all excited, he secretly thought that he had asked the British Duke Zhang Mao before leaving, this old fox really stuffed a few fancy officers into the 1,500 people this time, so he asked for the surname and gave a favor, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed down the decree, the Imperial Pharmacy and the Imperial Hospital neglected their duties, and ordered me and Gong Gong Zhang to go to the Imperial Pharmacy and the Imperial Hospital to get people!" Remember, the Imperial Pharmacy wants to take the eunuch Zhang Yu and the eunuch who combined the medicine this time, and as for the Imperial Hospital, it is Shi Qin, the envoy who was on duty in the Qianqing Palace this time, and the hospital sentenced Liu Wentai and the imperial doctor. ”
Seeing that everyone was dumbfounded for a moment when they heard this order, they all solemnly accepted the order, and he added: "There is another one, the Imperial Pharmacy and the Imperial Hospital are the internal official yamen, and the other is the external official office, you need to restrain your subordinates well." If you destroy anything without permission, I don't need to say what the consequences will be! Okay, no more gossiping, you go back to reorganize the army immediately, and set off immediately! ”
The Imperial Pharmacy is located in the northeast corner behind the Wenhua Palace, according to the old system of the Hongwu Dynasty, it was originally managed jointly by the medical officer and the chamberlain, but it was said that the eunuchs who did not understand pharmacology gradually occupied the dominant position and became the real talkers in the Imperial Pharmacy. And now Zhang Yu, the eunuch who is in charge of the Imperial Pharmacy, is a person who originally had nothing to do with medicine, but he firmly occupies this position with his favor. In peacetime, he shouted five and six in the palace to be very angry, but this day he was panicked, since he returned here from the Qianqing Palace, he was restless, and he didn't even have the strength to get angry at the bottom.
It's so dignified, how could Emperor Hongzhi suddenly die! Even if he didn't diagnose the pulse before, but those doctors are all years of human spirits, and they can't do the last two things, but the first two can be seen clearly, and they all say to themselves that it's no big deal, otherwise he is desperately committing a holy wrath, and he will definitely persuade the emperor to let everyone diagnose the pulse! Or, is there something wrong with the medicine used? But aren't they all tonics, how can there be good things that can be used instead of bad things...... Thinking about it, Zhang Yu couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly thought that this stubble was resolutely unacceptable, otherwise let alone the future, his surname would not be able to be saved. So, he immediately stood up and shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, prepare a stool, our family is going to the Tai Hospital!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a person outside suddenly slammed into the curtain and rushed in, and he didn't even have time to say anything and fell to the ground: "Ancestor, it's not good, there are a lot of soldiers outside the Imperial Pharmacy, and they look at the front and back strictly!" ”
"What!"
Zhang Yu only felt shocked and angry, and was about to open his mouth to ask, when there was another uproar outside, mixed with a few shouts and screams, but it was quiet in a moment. In the face of this unspeakable silence, he could only take a deep breath to force himself to calm down, and then Suo took a big stride out. As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw clearly the sergeants wearing plain uniforms over their military robes with waist swords, and then his eyes fell on the leader again.
It's Xu Xun, the son of Xing'an!
"Xu Shizi? What are you trying to do? Although Zhang Yu tried his best to calm down, his voice was still inevitably a little trembling, "The ancestral system, except for the internal officials and the medical officers of the Imperial Hospital, no one can trespass, even if you are favored by the emperor and the crown prince, how can you ignore the laws of the ancestors!" ”
"So far, Gonggong Zhang still plans to use the ancestral law to oppress people?" Xu Xun raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "At the behest of the crown prince, Zhang Yu, the eunuch of the Imperial Pharmacy Division, neglected his duties and took it immediately!" Come on, I'm not optimistic about Grandpa Zhang! ”
When Zhang Yu heard the five words of the crown prince's decree, the whole person softened all of a sudden. When his left and right arms were firmly restrained, he suddenly realized that he was busy shouting loudly: "Xu Shizi, this is Shi Qin, Liu Wentai and those imperial doctors from Tai Hospital, our family is just doing a show in the imperial pharmacy, and the emperor dies ......."
Without waiting for Zhang Yu to finish speaking, Xu Xun made a gesture, and waited until Qian Ning knew that he stepped forward to block Zhang Yu's mouth, and then the two military academies on the left and right took ropes to tie Zhang Yu strongly, and then he stepped forward and said: "Father-in-law Zhang, I have said everything, now I am taking you because you are derelict in your duties, and you are shouting that the emperor is dying, then it will not be to investigate this crime at that time, and you will know the consequences." As for those people in the Tai Hospital, I also obeyed Jun's order, and I will go and get them in three moments! ”
After Zhang Yu, who had struggled twice, heard this, his legs that were desperately kicking gradually stopped, the fear on his face was slightly less, but there was a pleading expression in his eyes, as if he was asking Xu Xun to remove the gag and let him say a few words. However, to his great disappointment, Xu Xun didn't mean to let him speak at all, but just left two more sentences.
"Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still angry, the more you say, the more you will be wrong, and please don't make mistakes with Grandpa Zhang. As for what you have to say, you might as well make a point in your heart now, and then you will naturally have the opportunity to play. ”
In front of the Imperial Pharmacy is the Wenhua Palace, and not far away is the Wenyuan Pavilion, I hope this time it will not be too alarmed!
After taking Zhang Yu and the two chamberlains who were in charge of combining medicine these days from the Imperial Pharmacy, Xu Xun handed them over to Zhang Yong, along with fifty sergeants. After all, he doesn't know where the prison is, or it is best to hand it over to Zhang Yong, who is familiar with the layout of the palace. Immediately after leaving fifty people to guard the Imperial Pharmacy, he led people out of the Zuoshun Gate again. Even if he wants to keep a low profile this time, the movement is still very small, and he got the news from the cabinet and the cabinet next to Zuoshun Gate, and even the six science corridors also got the letter, and there was an uproar up and down for a while.
"I felt strange when Xiyuan suddenly garrisoned the army before, why did I suddenly seal the imperial pharmacy again! Also, isn't Xu Xun in Beizhen Fusi Prison, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet ascended the throne, why did he suddenly release the people who were imprisoned by the emperor! ”
Liu Jian was furious when he heard the news, and Li Dongyang also said with a solemn face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought that he was dizzy for a while because of the sudden death of the emperor, but it is not reasonable to be angry with the imperial pharmacy. Even if they were really at fault, they should at least check it first. ”
"And even if it's checking, it's not Xu Xun's turn to check!" Xie Qian took a deep breath, immediately looked at Liu Jian and said, "Yuanfu, yesterday the emperor's trust is still vivid, this Xu Xun took people outside again, I don't know how big a problem will be." Presumably, the celebrant and the princes don't want to watch the chaos inside and outside the capital, let them think about it in the middle, how about I wait to see His Royal Highness the Prince? ”
"It's to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! At such a moment, how can you let the palace and the palace be chaotic first! ”
Liu Jian was saying when a clerical voice suddenly came from outside. He frowned and ordered to come in, and in a moment, a clerical officer hurriedly entered, swept the faces of the three pavilion elders, and he who had just reported the news of the closure of the Imperial Pharmacy bent down respectfully again: "Yuan Fu, Li Ge Lao, Xie Ge Lao, Liu Wentai, the court judge of the Tai Hospital, ask to see." ”
"What?"
All three people in the room were all discolored. Although the clerk didn't look up, he could imagine the faces of the three big guys, after all, he also felt ridiculous when he saw the head of the imperial hospital dressed as a eunuch before. So, he lowered his head a little more, and said word by word: "Liu Wentai said that Yuan Fu and the two pavilion elders should take the time to meet him no matter what, and he has 100,000 urgent matters to report." If you missed this ......"
Liu Jian had a verbal battle with Liu Wentai before because of the practice of cultivating materia medica, and he didn't have a good impression of this neat medical skill but not Erer's Tai Hospital, and when he heard this, he naturally blew his beard and glared: "What if you miss this time!" ”
"He said that if he missed this ......" The clerk thought of the rebellious words, and hesitated for a while, but found that Liu Jian was already impatient, and he was afraid that the matter was very important, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "I'm afraid that the emperor's order will not protect his reputation." ”
"Bastard thing!"
Although he knew that Liu Jian was not scolding himself at the moment, the clerk was still silent. And Li Dongyang had already tasted the taste of these words, and while gasping, he immediately stood up and whispered a few words of persuasion to Liu Jian, and when he turned around, he ordered the clerk to go out and bring people in. When Liu Wentai entered the house, the clerk retired, and Li Dongyang had to look at him with sharp eyes for a while, and then asked for a long time: "Liu Wentai, if you have anything to say, just say it." If you dare to be alarmist, not to mention that Xu Xun is taking you by the order of the crown prince, even the three of us will not let you go easily! ”
Liu Wentai is an old imperial doctor of the two dynasties, since the news of the emperor's death came out, he sneaked out of the imperial pharmacy, but he didn't dare to go out of the palace to return to the hospital, let alone go home, so he found a place in this palace city to avoid for the time being. This evasion, he just escaped the catastrophe of Xu Xun sealing the Imperial Pharmacy, but he didn't dare to have the slightest luck when he saw the scene of Zhang Yu being taken away, and after finding out the set of eunuch clothes that he had hidden back then and changing them, he went straight to Wenyuan Pavilion.
At this moment, facing the three pavilion elders with different colors, he took a deep breath, and then lowered his head and said: "Yuan Fu, Li Ge Lao, Xie Ge Lao, Xia Guan didn't want to talk about this matter at all, but now he can't say it." Hooray...... Long live the Lord is not going to the wind and cold, but ...... Instead, he took the pill that promotes Jing Peiyuan......"
Although Liu Wentai did not continue, the three elders of the cabinet have changed color in unison. Xie Qian Huoran stood up and shouted at Liu Wentai: "You dare to slander the first emperor!" ”
Liu Wentai was also single, and the surname Suo knelt down straight: "Whether it is slander or not, Xie Ge can go and investigate!" The emperor's illness this time only used medicine but never took the pulse, just because the pulse would be exposed. This elixir was secretly ordered by the emperor to find it, so that the emperor always felt that there was only one heir of His Royal Highness the Prince, if there was a ......"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Jian, who was seventy or eighty, stepped forward and kicked Liu Wentai straight over, and sat down with a twist, his mind in chaos. He wanted to kill this bastard, but if such news spread, what would others think of the Holy Wise Monarch in his eyes?
