Chapter 4 Who is responsible?
The dragon chair was empty, and the emperor obviously hadn't shown up yet.
Today was originally the day for Qu Guifei's consultation, if it was usual, the emperor and the ministers in the Tai Hospital should be in the Chengqian Palace for the concubine's pulse diagnosis and treatment, and jointly negotiate the next medication and recuperation methods.
But no one would have thought that the concubine would have an accident this morning.
The Sacred Heart was furious, and directly canceled this morning's consultation, and asked all the imperial doctors who had treated the concubine Niangniang to go to the Zhonghe Hall for questioning together.
Bai Shijun had already followed the palace people to the gate of the Zhonghe Hall at this time, and he leaned over and bowed.
"Bai Shijun, a doctor from Tai Hospital, knock on the saint!"
The sound was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no echo, and there was no sound in the temple, and there was no response. Bai Shijun only felt that his heart sank - this atmosphere was really wrong.
A brisk footstep gradually approached, Bai Shijun lowered his head, identified it by his peripheral vision, and found that it was one of the eunuchs of the celebrant Bingbi, Yuan Zhen.
Yuan Zhen just turned forty, and it was the prime of life. He entered the palace since he was a child, and has been working as a coolie at the bottom of the imperial dining room, and when he was in his twenties, he didn't know anything and was involved in some turmoil. After escaping death, he finally realized that everyone in this palace was a dog at the emperor's feet. Since no one treats anyone as a human being, it is better to be the beast that screams the fiercest and the best.
Relying on the sinister and poisonous methods of the yin owl and the clever twist to meet him, Yuan Zhen has become the biggest figure except for the palm print eunuch Huang Chongde. The officials in the court had to keep a little thin face when they saw Yuan Zhen, not to mention the top and bottom of the inner court, they had always been respectful to him and did not dare to make a mistake.
Yuan Zhen took a few steps closer, looked at Bai Shijun condescendingly, and said coldly, "You are the same Bai Shijun who said last time that the concubine was not sick?" β
Bai Shijun suppressed the panic in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Back to my father-in-law's words, I never said that my mother was not sick, but-"
"Don't be sophistry." Yuan Zhen's voice was cold, "The saint has been in power for forty-five years, and the most hated thing is those people who have two faces in front of them and behind them. β
Bai Shijun lowered his eyes, "Thanks to the teachings of the father-in-law." β
Yuan Zhen led Bai Shijun into the hall, Bai Shijun looked around a little, and found that although the emperor was not here, there were two palace people behind the screen in the southeast corner who were bowing their heads and writing - they were the emperor's eyes in the Zhonghe Palace, and all the conversations that happened here would be recorded in detail and then sent to the emperor's place.
Obviously, what they are recording now is the dialogue between themselves and Gonggong Yuan just now.
Bai Shijun was secretly frightened, and quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head again.
Yuan Zhen held a stack of papers in his hand and said in a low voice, "Since everyone from the Tai Hospital has arrived, I will also make my words clear." I don't know much about medical skills, but here is the record left by your consultation last time, Qin Yuan Envoy, do you want to pass it on, so that your disciples and grandchildren can take a good look? β
As he spoke, Yuan Zhen looked at an old man sitting nearby, and everyone's eyes also looked over - an old-timer like the Qin Yuan envoy was not easily alarmed on weekdays. But today he was also called for questioning, which shows how far the holy wrath has reached.
The envoy of the Qin Yuan was still closed at this time, as if he hadn't heard what Yuan Zhen said, and he didn't mean to stretch out his hand.
Yuan Zhen smiled indifferently, but he was not annoyed, he raised his eyebrows, and his eyes looked away, "Envoy Qin, you are also the elder of the Tai Hospital, the people below are not sensible, you can't and don't be sensible." If my family is not mistaken, half of the kneeling here are personally selected by you from among the young medical officers sent by the state capitals, and they have been cultivated by you for three or five years, who doesn't call you a master? Now that I have been ordered by the emperor to preach the oracle of the Holy Lord, why do you bother to show me a face? What you know is that you look down on us people, and if you don't know, you still think that you don't think so! β
There was already a murderous intent hidden in these words, and Old Man Qin couldn't help but stretch out his hand. But when he received the diagnosis, he didn't look down closely, but asked in a low voice, "May I ask my father-in-law, where is the emperor now?" β
Yuan Zhen looked at him for a while, as if he hadn't heard his question, his eyes fluttered and glanced at the diagnosis in Qin Kang's hand, and said in a low voice, "This diagnosis, why don't you send it down to everyone?" β
Qin Kang bowed down and said, "Father-in-law, I know and remember these diagnoses, every word." I believe that the imperial physician who made these diagnoses is also aware of it and does not dare to forget a word. β
"Okay." Yuan Zhen waited for this sentence, a smile with murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said softly, "Then the Qin Yuan will make you give a judgment, our noble concubine Niangniang, is she sick or not?" β
Seeing that the spearhead turned to his teacher, Bai Shijun couldn't kneel. Before Qin Kang could reply, his back had already straightened up, and he said loudly, "Gonggong Yuan, you have something to say about your humble position!" β
Yuan Zhen sneered twice, deliberately glanced at Qin Kang, and his smile was a little gloomy, "Lord Qin really trained a group of good offspring, look, I haven't done anything yet, someone has taken the initiative to come up to shield you from the wind and rain." β
Bai Shijun took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and deliberately slowed down the rhythm of his answer in order not to make himself look flustered, "Gonggong Yuan's words, I don't understand it." Half a month ago, the medical officer who advocated stopping the drug for Niangniang was me. The so-called great doctor is sincere, and his humble duty has always acted according to his conscience, not to shield anyone from the wind and rain. β
"Well said," Yuan Zhen also stood up, with a pretended expression of appreciation on his face, strolled in front of Bai Shijun, leaned down and asked in Bai Shijun's ear, "What a 'great doctor', Doctor Bai, you are knowledgeable, you can tell our family, what kind of essence is this essence, and what kind of sincerity is it?" β
"There's nothing unlearned about this," Bai Shijun didn't dare to look up at Yuan Zhen's eyes, his voice was a little quieter, he looked down at the ground in front of him, and said in a low voice, "The word sincerity means that medical skills should be superb and medical ethics should be sincereββ"
Yuan Zhen interrupted with a smile, "I don't think so." β
"That'...... Please give me advice. β
Yuan Zhenpi grinned without smiling, looked at Qin Kang behind him, his voice suddenly rose, and he said sharply, "This essence is shrewd, for the sake of his own career, he dares to say that he is not sick, and casually withdrew Niangniang's medicine, thinking that this shows how good his medical skills are, and he can ask for credit; This is a heart, some people just can't see that we have a long live old man, and they have to find a bad time for the master when the happy event of my Great Zhou Dynasty is coming! β
Bai Shijun's body trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Father-in-law's words-"
"Shijun." Qin Kang's voice sounded tremblingly, although the voice was not loud, it was deafening. Bai Shijun stopped in time, leaned over again and kowtowed heavily to the Holy Throne, and said no more.
Qin Kang's eyes were not happy, but he still spoke earnestly as usual, "The old man is old, and he has to think about many things to understand, so I want to ask my father-in-law a word first." β
Yuan Zhen no longer had a good look on his face, and said coldly, "If the envoy of the Qin Academy has something to say, just open his mouth." β
Qin Kang nodded, his eyes locked on Yuan Zhen, and said in a low voice, "The Holy Lord called us here today, do you want your father-in-law to directly condemn us, or do you come to discuss the illness of the noble concubine?" β
This sentence put Yuan Zhen there, he narrowed his eyes slightly, took two steps back, stood back next to the throne, and said coldly, "Where is this from the Qin Yuan envoy, what is the identity of the slave maid, how can I condemn you?" β
Qin Kang's eyes seemed to be closed, he still nodded lightly, turned around to look at his colleague who was kneeling behind him, and said softly, "Since you want to discuss the illness of the noble concubine again, then, everyone should not kneel anymore, get up and discuss the matter." β
"But then again!" Yuan Zhen suddenly raised his voice again, this drink, the knees that had been raised by many imperial doctors immediately stiffened there, he sneered, and said softly, "It was your Tai Hospital's front foot that said that Niang Niang was not sick, and the medicine was stopped, but Niang Niang looked for a short time again this morning." It is impossible for this matter to pass silently, who is this burden on in the end, Qin Yuan made you an old man in the hospital, and you should have a little count in your heart. β
