Chapter Fifty-Eight: An Indifferent Heart
Lu Bing originally thought that Zhu Houxi was making up for his strength, and he could prescribe two doses of medicine to defeat fire and clear his heart. But he didn't expect that the imperial doctor could not solve it after repeated battles, so Lu Bing had to go in person, even if he would leak his medical attainments, he couldn't watch Zhu Houxi die like this.
When he saw Zhu Houxi, Zhu Houxi's whole person was in a state of excitement, but his expression was extremely tired, Lu Bing hurriedly prescribed a few secret medicines to remove fire, Zhu Houyu went to the doctor when he was sick, not to mention that it was his own family Lu Bing who came to see him, so he hurriedly took it. Lu Bing did acupuncture for Zhu Houxi again, although it was slowed down, it was still difficult to completely eradicate it, Lu Bing hurriedly wrote to Duan Qingfeng, asking Duan Qingfeng to dare to come from Shandong. After Duan Qingfeng received the letter, the fast horse galloped and the people rushed to the capital without stopping, and after giving Zhu Houxi a breath of yin qi, Zhu Houxi completely calmed down.
Zhu Houxi said that he wanted to reward Duan Qingfeng, and enshrined him as a god, and stayed in the palace to preach, but Duan Qingfeng left in a hurry after thanking him, not because he didn't want to be famous, but mainly because Shandong's affairs were too busy. Nowadays, Lu Bing's intelligence network has spread almost all over the country's major cities, and the files to be processed every day cannot fit even one room. Even if some of it was handled by Wei He in the capital, most of the pressure was still on Duan Qingfeng's body.
Only then did Duan Qingfeng know how smart and great Meng Xueqing was, and how to deal with so many documents, Duan Qingfeng was still in the stage of finding a pattern, so he could only hurry back. However, Zhu Houxi became interested in Wudang, and he had to rebuild Wudang Mountain to thank Duan Qingfeng for saving his life. So he made a decree that night, canonized Wudang up and down, and prepared to overhaul Wudang Mountain.
For Lu Bing, Zhu Houyu is even more grateful, he has to give Lu Bing a duke, Lu Bing can only wave his hand and refuse, now that he has received the efforts he made in front of the courtiers, it will be all in vain, and he will still become a favored minister who ascends to the throne by virtue of his holy family, and Zhu Houyu will look down on himself even more.
However, there was one thing that made Lu Bing worried. It turned out that inadvertently, Lu Bing gave Zhu Houxi after the fire was removed, and he called the pulse again, wanting to see if there was any change after calming down. numbered, but Lu Bing's face instantly changed color. hurriedly forbade Zhu Houxi to take any pills. And prescribed a few detoxification drugs.
Although Zhu Houxi felt inexplicable, he saw that this medicine was not toxic, and it was prescribed by Lu Bing. I also took it on time. The current Zhu Houyu admires Lu Bingna very much, and Zhu Houyu understands the truth that if he listens to it, he believes it, but facts speak louder than words, others are helpless, but Lu Bing cured him, how can Zhu Houyu not believe it. This Lu Bing is not only both civil and military, but also proficient in medical science, how many secrets there are in his body, Zhu Houxi feels that Lu Bing is the capable minister sent by God to govern the world, and secretly thinks in his heart that no matter how reasonable it is, he must vigorously promote Lu Bing.
Lu Bing left the palace. But there was a dark cloud in my heart again. Everything makes sense, Zhu Houxi now hides a trace amount of toxin in his body, if not treated in time, the toxin will gradually accumulate according to natural development, and finally the lesion will change in an uncontrollable direction. And this poison. It turned out to be the same as Wan Erwan's description of Zhu Houzhao's toxicity.
Lu Bing looked at the "Innate Lead Pill" in his hand, that's right, it should be this medicine, he changed the packaging, but the toxins in it remained the same. If it weren't for the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi's frenzied large amount of dosing, Lu Bing wouldn't have found out. The first emperor Zhu Houzhao must have taken similar substances, which indicates that someone wanted to deliberately control the life and death of the emperor. Is it Shao Yuan Festival? No, he doesn't have that much energy. Is it Tao Zhongwen, Liang Gaofu and the like, it's not like it. Then it must be the secret thirteen, yes, it is them, Shao Yuanjie once said in private that his elixir came from a master.
It is no wonder that Shao Yuanjie has very little medical knowledge, but he can refine the "Congenital Lead Pill", a drug that is almost impeccable in terms of medicinal properties, which makes sense, and Lu Bing has another line of revenge. The truth is becoming clearer. Lu Bing clenched his fists and smashed the elixir, the night was very dark and cold.
—————————————————————————————————————
The eighth year of Jiajing is destined to be an unquiet year, and many major events have happened in this year, but after all, they are all in a hurry. It wasn't until the end of the eighth year of Jiajing that Lu Bing looked back on the past and felt that he had not wasted a year of doing nothing.
To sum it up, it looks like this. At the beginning of the year, it was Empress Chen, and Zhu Houxi reconciled with himself, which not only freed up the old suspicions between the brothers, but also made Lu Bing's revenge plan go further.
Mr. Wang Shouren also died of illness this year, Lu Bing was a lifelong regret, and only had a short relationship with Mr. Wang Shouren, although the two spoke highly of each other, but did not have much intersection. The last time Lu Bing went to Liangguang, he should have been able to sit down and have a long talk, but he didn't see him for some reason, and this miss became a farewell.
Immediately after the re-establishment of the new one, in order to prevent the Zhang family from becoming too powerful and give the last fatal blow to the already shaky political rights of the old Zhang family, Zhu Houxi ordered the hereditary reform of foreign relatives and not to be sealed, so the biological mother of the first emperor Zhu Houzhao, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, were implicated.
Zhang Heling was stripped of his title from the Duke of Changguo, and with the secret help of Lu Bing, Zhang Heling was demoted to the commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei. In contrast, his brother is much more miserable, Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling was completely dismissed, and he was also investigated and dealt with before, this matter was personally supervised by Zhu Houxi, and Lu Bing couldn't help much even if he tried his best in secret.
Later, it was the birth of Qi Jingtong's son Qi Jiguang. Having a big banquet and inviting hundreds of officials to congratulate him is, of course, Lu Bing's idea, not the low-key Qi Jingtong.
For Lu Bing himself, he won the second place in martial arts, in fact, Lu Bing is not inferior to the first place in the final spelling theory of martial arts, and if Lu Bing claims that he is the champion of martial arts, no one dares to compete. It's just that it just so happened that the son of a heavy minister took the martial arts exam, and Lu Bing pushed the boat to send a favor to make someone else a martial champion, anyway, the name is also dispensable for Lu Bing, he only needs to rely on his own ability to win a reason for himself, a reason for Zhu Houxi to promote himself.
In the same year, Lu Bingguan was promoted to one level and became the deputy thousand households of Jinyi Wei.
In the martial arts, a major event also happened, that is, the world's heroes and heroes gathered together, and fought with the shaman ghost witch of Ordos. Among them, because of the financial support of Wu Su and Lu Bing, the two of them became famous, and their prestige in the rivers and lakes reached a higher level, and some people even asserted that if they were to be elected again, the leader of the martial arts alliance would be promoted. Whether it is Lu Bing or Wusu is unknown.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Xuan finally acted.
If Zhang Xuan let Lu Bing judge. He is very suitable to be a troubled boy, and he has a strong ability to form gangs, although many people do it under his money offensive and obscenity. But the conditions he offered were also tempting. Fighting in the court, he directly cut into the big scene, mobilized all his subordinates to start attacking Yang Yiqing in all aspects, and after summarizing, Zhang Xuan participated in Yang Yiqing's outline, calling Yang Yiqing a traitor and a traitor.
What kind of person is Yang Yiqing, the elders of the Four Dynasties will enter the prime minister, and he has entered the cabinet several times, he belongs to the veteran cabinet members, and the evergreen immortal man in the political field. In the face of Zhang Xuan's mad dog-like attack, he responded to all changes with the same attitude, and loved to see who had a heavier position in the emperor's mind.
Regarding the backlash of Zhang Xuan, who was pulled up by himself, Yang Yiqing was not very disappointed. First of all, in his opinion, Zhang Xuan is not a person at all, and he is not a threat to himself at all. Secondly, Yang Yi saw through it early in the morning. There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests, this is the case among the people, and even more so in the officialdom, but it is more obscure and more smiling and hides a knife. It is a matter of time before they turn against each other for the sake of rights. As the first assistant, he has blocked Zhang Zhang's way forward, so it's strange that he doesn't attack himself.
Yang Yiqing can fulfill Zhang Xuan and abdicate himself to let Zhang Xuan take the throne, but Yang Yiqing has been fighting with people all his life, and gradually formed a character of endless fun fighting with others, so Zhang Zhang, the more anxious you want to climb up with a white face, the more I will stop you and make you think about it but you can't get it.
Yang Yiqing's non-acceptance made Zhang Xuan feel like a punch was missed, and things fell into an impasse, I thought that Zhu Houxi would come out to intervene, but Zhu Houxi was so insidious, he saw through it and didn't say it thoroughly, so he waited for the two of them to fight each other to see where this play could go. Yang Yiqing didn't accept the offer, and Zhang Xuan had nothing to do, but at this moment, when everyone thought that it was going to be a stalemate, Yang Yiqing suddenly moved again beyond everyone's expectations. He wrote a letter, and after defending himself for a few words, he said that he was framed by a traitor, and this traitor didn't refer to Zhang Xuan.
At the end of the recital, Yang Yiqing also put forward a request to resign from Zhishi, and Zhu Houxi couldn't sit still. What is Zhang Zhang's ability, what is Yang Yiqing's ability, there are still tens of millions of Zhang Xuan when Zhang Xuan is gone, but Yang Yiqing is only one, he is also the behind-the-scenes hero of the Great Etiquette Incident, and he has contributed to his superiority. What's more, the martial arts people were unconscious a while ago, and they had conflicts with Ordos, but Yang Yiqing had a deep friendship with the leader of Ordos.
As early as when Yang Yiqing was in charge of the military power of the three towns in the northwest border pass, he knew the leader of Ordos, so it can be regarded as an old friendship, and for the health of the national border, Yang Yiqing needs to come forward. What's more, although Yang Yiqing has slight shortcomings, his merits outweigh his faults, and he is a talented person, so Zhu Houxi can't bear to let him go. When King Xingxian was alive, he once told Zhu Houxi that there are three people in the world who can set the state and secure the world, and these three people are Liu Daxia, Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing.
This remark was deeply remembered in Zhu Houxi's mind, and Yang Yiqing's resignation couldn't help but make Zhu Houyu confused, and he also secretly scolded in his heart: Why do the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee threaten them with resignation at every turn, Yang Tinghe is like this, and so is Yang Yiqing.
Speaking of which, Zhu Houxi has been refreshed recently, his mind has been a lot more flexible, his head is no longer dizzy after stopping the medicine, and even his body seems to have recovered a lot, and he is as flexible as in previous years. However, what followed was a decline in sexual performance, which made it bitter to the girls and concubines who served in the palace, and Zhu Houxi's own things were not good, so he began to pay more attention to the sexual abuse aspect.
Lu Bing can't care about the life or death of the palace maid, even if he knows, he doesn't know how to deal with it, Lu Bing is just a mortal and a small person, and he is not a savior, how can he do everything. Managing everything means not caring about everything, and in the end, maybe you have to get in, Lu Bing is not a bodhisattva, and he has to ignore the pros and cons.
After the vicissitudes of life, the heroes who have gone through several ups and downs, and the horsemen who are angry and bloody for five steps, have finally become an indifferent politician under the tempering of the years, whether it is helpless or regular, but this is a fact.
