Chapter II: Conviction and Imprisonment
In the Imperial Hall of the Bianjing Imperial Palace, although it was broad daylight, the lights were still bright, and when Ouyang Xiu stepped into the main hall, he clearly saw the anger on the face of the official Zhao Zhen.
Ouyang Xiu strode into the hall without the slightest fear, stopped in front of the dragon chair and white jade platform, knelt down respectfully, and said loudly: "Qiqi official's family!" Xuande Lang Ouyang Xiu returned to the palace to restore the purpose! ”
"Return to the palace!" Zhao Zhen sneered with a dark face and said, "Xuandelang! What are you going to do when you go back to the palace? Do you remember the will I made you proclaim? ”
"Enlighten the official family! The official family taught that Wechen remembered it in his heart, and the official family asked Wechen to go to Chengdu Mansion and announced that he would receive the divine doctor Tian Yandao into the palace to treat the Queen Mother! Ouyang Xiu continued to say loudly.
Seeing that Ouyang Xiu didn't know life or death so much, obviously the matter was not done well, and he was so arrogant, the hundred officials on the left and right couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Ouyang Xiu.
"Good! Xuandelang, you still remember my will, then tell me, why it takes a month and a half to travel back and forth, and it takes more than two months to walk, delaying the Queen Mother's illness and causing the Queen Mother to return to heaven, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, you are ready to assassinate Lingnan! Zhao Zhen looked at Ouyang Xiu, who was right, and said angrily.
Hearing Zhao Zhen's threatening words, Ouyang Xiu said very aggrievedly: "Qiqi official! This can't be blamed on Weichen! When Weichen arrived at Meishan, the old god Xiantian Yandao had already passed away! ”
"What! The old fairy is dead! No wonder! Since the old immortal is dead, why don't you come back quickly and reinstate the decree! Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with Ouyang Xiu's answer, and asked angrily a little.
"Weichen originally wanted to come back immediately, but Chengdu Mansion Xue recommended the apprentice and son-in-law of the old fairy to Lord Xue, and Zhao Lei, a divine doctor who has both the old immortal and Hua Tuo's medical skills, Weichen thought that since the old fairy couldn't bring it back, he might be able to treat the queen mother if he brought the old fairy's apprentice back! So he brought back the apprentice of the old immortal. Ouyang Xiu said eloquently.
"The apprentice of the old immortal! Is this person heavy! The sand boat is so slow to bring you back to Bianjing! Hearing Ouyang Xiu's words, Zhao Zhen's anger came up again, and he asked chong Chong.
"Enlighten the official family! This miracle doctor Zhao Lei is not heavy, but he is too famous, Weichen took him on the sand boat, and he was ready to return to Bianjing, who knew that every time he arrived, he heard the news that the divine doctor Zhao Lei was on the sand boat, many patients were driving small boats, blocking the way of the sand boat, and let Zhao Lei Divine Doctor treat them, and Zhao Lei Divine Doctor was compassionate and compassionate, focusing on the patient, and insisted on treating the seriously ill before going on the road, so the time was delayed and came back late. Ouyang Xiu pretended to be very aggrieved and said.
"Bastard thing! The Queen Mother waited for him to go to Beijing for treatment, but he delayed the time for the Queen Mother to treat the illness for the sake of those Shengdou people. Zhao Zhen suddenly couldn't remember Zhao Lei's name, and asked Ouyang Xiu loudly.
"Zhao Lei, Zhao Sanshi, Zhao Divine Doctor!" Ouyang Xiu reminded cautiously.
"That's right! I put Zhao Lei, Zhao Sanshi, and Zhao Shenyi in prison, and as soon as the Queen Mother's funeral period passed, she was stabbed with Lingnan! Zhao Zhen said angrily.
"Officials can't! Although Zhao Lei delayed the time for the Queen Mother to see a doctor, the people are also patients, and they also need Zhao Lei's diagnosis and treatment, the Queen Mother is the mother of a country, how can the people not be the sons of the country! If Zhao Lei is imprisoned because he missed treating the Queen Mother, how will the people in the world view the official family! Besides, the doctor's duty is to treat the patient, Zhao Lei treats the patient along the road, there is nothing to blame, the official family must not stab Zhao Lei with Lingnan because of this! In this way, the healer dared to heal the people! Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, the official teacher who had just ascended to the throne, the current prime minister Zhang Shixun, immediately came out and said.
In their opinion, the duty of a folk doctor is to treat the people, and it should be the duty of the Taiyi Bureau to cure the illness of the Queen Mother, and now the Taiyi Bureau cannot cure the illness of the Queen Mother, and let a folk doctor take responsibility will make the people of the world dissatisfied, so the officials can reprimand Zhao Lei, but they cannot put him in prison and assassinate Lingnan.
Ouyang Xiu knew that the official family was angry, and it was useless to persuade Cambodia, but he still pretended to say: "Yes! Official! Zhao Lei's miracle doctor has countless living people along the way, and only the patients who must die have rescued more than a dozen people. ”
"Humph! In this way, I have to thank that person, or I will give him a plaque of loyalty and filial piety! Immediately put that person in jail! Retreat! Zhao Zhen waved his hand angrily and left.
Seeing the official Zhao Zhen leave angrily, Zhang Shixun and the others shook their heads and sighed and retreated, while Ouyang Xiu secretly looked for the Zhao family clan and others such as Zhenwang in the crowd.
………………………………
Xiao Cui happily followed Zhao Lei back to the Dingli Courtyard, Zhao Lei's hands were holding a lot of things he bought for Xiaocui, the two of them just walked to the door of the Dingli Courtyard, and saw more than a dozen wolf-like blue-robed servants at the gate of the Dingli Courtyard were looking at the pedestrians, Zhao Lei had just walked to the door, and a person who knew him from the Dingli Courtyard immediately pointed at him and said: "Poor master!" He is Zhao Lei! ”
Hearing the appointment of the subordinates of the Dingli Academy, the strong man who took the lead in the blue-robed government service walked to Zhao Lei's side, looked at Zhao Lei fiercely and said, "You are Meishan Zhao Lei Zhao Sanshi!" ”
"It's exactly under it!" Zhao Lei knew that trouble was coming, and he had been prepared for a long time, so he said calmly.
"Since you admit it, you can't be wrong, brothers, take it!" As soon as the strong man waved his hand, two blue-robed servants rushed up and put Zhao Lei backhanded.
"Official!" Xiao Cui shouted helplessly beside her.
"Little Cui! It's okay, keep an eye on our stuff and wait for me to come back! Zhao Lei left this sentence, and was escorted out of the Dingli Courtyard by the blue-robed officials.
Dali Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty, is the place to judge the powerful officials, and the Northern Song Dynasty officials above the nine grades, the prefectures and counties, is not the right to judge, only Dali Temple has this power, Chen Xiliang and Fan Yong arrested the seal, it is obviously the arrest of the superleast, the noble position of the protector, without the holy decree of the Dali Temple and the official family, Kaifeng Mansion is not qualified to catch the seal at all. So after the queen mother returned to heaven, Chen Xiliang and Fan Yong were impeached by the imperial envoy for exceeding their powers, and as a result, they were all demoted from Bianjing by the official family.
Dali Temple is in the west of Xijiaolou Street, opposite Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial Embassy, south of Taiping Xingguo Temple, a radius of hundreds of meters, the outer high cyan wall, the inside is heavily guarded, with an independent and huge underground cell, where some officials who are guilty of waiting to be matched, Jiangyang thieves who are extremely guilty and other criminals are imprisoned.
Zhao Lei was escorted by those blue-robed servants and traveled all the way west to Dali Temple.
The bronze gate of Dali Temple is half a foot high, and a pair of huge stone unicorns in front of the door look mighty and extraordinary.
The blue-robed strong man who escorted Zhao Lei seemed to have a high status in Dali Temple, and as soon as he arrived at Dali Temple, there were many officials who greeted him respectfully in a low voice.
When they arrived at Dali Temple, more than a dozen blue-robed officials dispersed one after another, leaving a strong man and two blue-robed officials, pressing Zhao Lei, and walking towards the northwest corner of Dali Temple.
The northwest corner of Dali Temple is where the dungeon of Dali Temple is located, and this dungeon also has a cool name, called the Heavenly Prison, which is dedicated to holding those who offend the Son of Heaven.
The entrance to the dungeon is an iron prison door that looks familiar.
In front of the door of the iron prison, four lazy and lazy blue-robed servants stood listlessly in front of the door, and when they saw Zhao Lei being escorted over, they immediately came to their senses, and one of them, a middle-aged man in his thirties, who was fat, came up to Zhao Lei and said with a cruel smile: "Okay! After waiting for so many days, I finally saw a new prisoner, Brother Wolf, fat or not! ”
The strong man named Brother Wolf smiled slightly and said to the fat middle-aged man: "Very fat! But I'm afraid that the third brother, you don't dare to start! ”
"Cut! The people who came to the prison, there was no one who our brothers didn't dare to start, when they participated in political affairs, our brothers could scrape off three taels of oil, look at this young man, is it still the prime minister! The chubby middle-aged man called the third brother looked at Zhao Lei and said sarcastically.
"He's not the prime minister, he's not a miracle doctor, and he's a famous miracle doctor!" Brother Wolf said with a smile.
"Miracle Doctor! He won't be the Meishan miracle doctor Zhao Lei who delayed the Queen Mother's illness in order to save the people! The third brother looked at Zhao Lei and asked in surprise.
Bianjing is really the most prosperous city in the world, and the news on the street can be spread so quickly, from Zhao Lei to the present, it has only been four or five hours, and I didn't expect that the news of his imprisonment has reached the ears of these lower-level officials of the imperial court.
Seeing Brother Wolf nodding, the third brother who was fat, the cruel smile on his face immediately turned into a respectful smile, and said to Zhao Lei: "It turned out to be Doctor Zhao, so small that he is really eyeless!" In order to save the people on both sides of the strait, Doctor Zhao delayed the treatment of the Queen Mother and was convicted, the whole Bianjing already knew, and the official family would definitely not let a good person like Doctor Zhao suffer, presumably Doctor Zhao would go out soon! ”
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the status of doctors in society was very lofty, they did not charge money for medical treatment, they were waiting for patients to take the initiative to give, ordinary people only gave some food and clothing, and poor families not only did not need to give money, but could get free medicinal materials.
Doctors generally only see patients, not responsible for catching medicines, prescribing medicines, and patients to catch medicines, so the doctors of the Northern Song Dynasty are very hard, it is this situation that makes the people respect the doctors of the Northern Song Dynasty very much, and the third brother immediately became respectful after knowing Zhao Lei's identity.
"That's it! The person is handed over to the third brother, take good care of Doctor Zhao! I'm going to report to you. The strong man who escorted Zhao Lei over said goodbye and left.
"In Xia Liang Dou, line three, Doctor Zhao called Doctor Zhao to be good in Xia Liang San, and asked Doctor Zhao to be wronged here for the time being, and soon the official family will change his mind, and he will let Doctor Zhao come out." Sending the strong man away, Liang San turned around and said respectfully to Zhao Lei.
"Please take care of the third brother!" Of course, Zhao Lei understands the reason why these people are respectful to him, and he must be bored in the dungeon in the future, and there will always be some relatives of the officials who come to disturb him.
"Divine Doctor Zhao is polite, Liang San ate the food of the yamen, and he couldn't help himself, and asked the divine doctor to take care of it!" Liang San said as he opened the iron prison door.
The cell door opens! A smell of rot and mildew, mixed with a smell of corpses, gushed out, Zhao Lei, who was standing at the door of the prison, couldn't help frowning, looking at the prison that was still dark and gloomy in broad daylight, Zhao Lei smiled bitterly and walked in helplessly.
