Chapter 146 Truth
In the evening, the sunset on the horizon is like a match, burning the red sky.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the yamen and clothed it with a layer of gold.
A breeze blew in, making the people who had worked all day feel refreshed.
At this moment, Zhang Mu stared at the dog's tail grass outside the window, watching it swaying left and right in the breeze, and his heart was full of confusion.
The banditry and the pirates have not yet subsided, and the white divine doctor he met here has been involved in a storm that began a long time ago, but has not yet subsided.
It's really you singing and I'm on the stage, it's bustling and lively.
The teapot water in the guest room was boiling, and a billowing white mist was emitting.
Doctor Bai lifted the teapot, took out a bamboo tube from the medicine box tremblingly, opened the lid, and poured some of the tea leaves inside into the teapot.
With the boiling boiling water, it was poured into the teapot, and the fragrance suddenly filled the room.
"This is when the old man traveled in Yunnan, he brought back a Pu'er tea tree, Lord Zhang, please try it." Doctor Bai smiled.
Zhang Mu took a sip of the teacup, the taste was mellow, refreshing and smooth, and the entrance was sweet, and he couldn't help but appreciate: "The old gentleman is not only skilled in medicine, but also has a lot of research on this tea ceremony." ”
"But KitKat's lewd skills are not enough to worry about. It's just that at the age of Master Zhang, he is just a cloth cloth, and it is very rare to get to this position. Doctor Bai put down the teacup, stroked his beard and smiled.
"The old gentleman is polite. But there is one thing in the following, I would like to ask Mr. Counsel. Zhang Mu said with a smile.
Doctor Bai put the teapot on the stove, looked up and smiled, "You want to ask, who has been serving Queen Ma's diet?" ”
Zhang Mu nodded, and the white divine doctor smiled and said, "The palace maid who served Queen Ma's diet back then has been given to death after Queen Ma died of illness. In fact, after Queen Ma died of illness in the entire Kunning Palace, none of the servants serving inside survived. ”
When Zhang Mu heard this, he secretly pondered in his heart, he had heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless, but he didn't expect that he would be vicious to this point.
Kunning Palace served the servants, and I am afraid that there were dozens of people, and they disappeared overnight, which can be seen from this.
In this world, ** is cleaner than the palace, it seems that it is really not a joke.
However, from this point, it can also be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang's friendship with Queen Ma is by no means ordinary, because throughout the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang does not seem to have established a queen again.
Doctor Bai obviously knew this, so he told Zhang Mu that he wanted to take advantage of Jinyiwei's urgent opportunity to turn over the case for his family.
If this matter is confirmed, with Zhu Yuanzhang's friendship with Queen Ma, it is definitely a thunderous rage, which cannot be ambiguous.
"Your Majesty eliminated the servants in Kunning Palace overnight, does that mean that he has some suspicions in his heart that someone has done something from it? Of course, venting anger is one reason, but is his suspicion the main reason? Zhang Mu asked.
"The old man didn't know this. However, in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, I vaguely heard the palace people say that on the day of May 17, there was indeed a poisoning incident. At that time, the eunuch in charge of tasting food was poisoned and died violently when he was tasting soup. made Zhu Yuanzhang furious, and once cleaned the palace once. Doctor Bai smiled.
Zhang Mu suddenly realized, it seems that his inference is correct, according to common sense, no matter how tyrannical Zhu Yuanzhang is, no matter how murderous he is, as the king of a country, he will not be purged in order to vent his anger.
It seems that although he has no evidence, he does suspect the death of Queen Ma, and for other reasons, after all, Doctor Bai's medical skills are not a joke, how can a shrewd person like Zhu Yuanzhang not be able to see that he is tired?
Before Queen Ma died, there was a poisoning incident in the palace, so Zhu Yuanzhang always suspected the cause of Queen Ma's death.
To be able to poison the emperor's imperial meal, you need to go through many checkpoints, if it weren't for the final tasting system, I'm afraid that Lao Zhu would be doomed.
From this point, it can be seen how terrible the struggle in the court at that time had been.
Zhang Mu couldn't help frowning and said, "In this way, this case has become a headless public case, and it is not easy to handle." ”
"Lord Zhang is scared?" Doctor Bai sneered.
"Of course I'm afraid, your old man is naturally fearless when he is in his prime. Hengzhu people have died after they are 100 years old, you have lived enough, I am only thirteen years old, do you say I am afraid? Zhang Mu said with a smile.
Doctor Bai smiled and said, "People still have a sense of awe, so that they can become great." ”
Zhang Mu took a sip of the teacup and said: "Then you old man don't have to go around in circles with me, the Ming Dynasty is so big, you just chose to settle here, and then just like Jiang Taigong fishing, I am afraid that it will not be a day or two." I think you should know something in your old heart. Let's be honest with each other, so let's all tell me. ”
The white divine doctor laughed and said, "You little ghost, it's okay." Then he got up slowly, walked to the window, leaned on the windowsill and said, "The old man's family has suffered this misfortune because of the old man." If the old man had told His Majesty about this back then, maybe there would not have been such an ending today. It's all because of the old man's kindness back then that he made such a big mistake. I also have to blame others for this. ”
"Then Mr. was on the wrong side back then." Zhang Mu asked.
Doctor Bai was taken aback, looked back at Zhang Mu, and gradually showed a trace of sadness on his face: "What you said is right. If the old man sacrificed his life and did his best, Queen Ma might not necessarily die. ”
Zhang Mu smiled: "Then who stopped you at that time, in other words, who made you give up healing Queen Ma at that time?" ”
The white divine doctor looked at Zhang Mu faintly and said, "How did you guess?" ”
"With Mr.'s medical skills, even if Queen Ma is poisoned, she may not necessarily die of poisoning. I guess someone gave you a good news, just to use Queen Ma's death to give Zhu Yuanzhang a fatal blow. If I am not mistaken, Your Majesty must have been in poor health in the fourteenth year of Hongwu. But people are not as good as heaven, Zhu Yuanzhang did not collapse because of this incident, on the contrary, because of this incident, he ignited the flame of revenge in his heart. Zhang Mu said.
"People are like duckweed, and they can't help themselves? Even if I am a small imperial doctor, as long as I am in the palace, I will inevitably be swayed by others. At that time, the situation in the imperial court was turbulent, and the old man had no choice but to do it. If you make this mistake, it is useless to say more. It's just that the old man is still angry, and the person who held the old man's eldest son hostage back then is still at large. The old man was unwilling. If you want to find the mastermind of this matter, I can show you a clear way. Doctor Bai turned around and said.
"Thank you, sir." Zhang Mu immediately gave the white god doctor a look, got up and said, "Mr. is willing to fully cooperate, I will make that life worse than death." ”
When the white divine doctor heard this, he took out a mottled letter from his bosom that had been half burned by the fire and put it on the table.
Then he smiled and said, "The old man said goodbye and waited for good news." ”
