Chapter 49: Can a courtier destroy the country?
Cheng Mo stared at Imperial Physician Chen's excited old face and sneered, "Imperial Physician Chen, where did I offend you so that you had to put me to death, others don't know about poisoning, don't you know what's going on?" ”
Imperial Physician Chen gritted his teeth and glared angrily, "The human and material evidence is here, and you still can't quibble."
Bewitching the prime minister, confusing the two princes, trying to cause a war in the court, the emperor, if you don't get rid of these demon girls, my dynasty is in danger! ”
Suddenly, he lamented again and again, and said bitterly to the emperor.
Cheng Mo looked at the old lady doctor's loyal appearance in order to get rid of her, and he only felt sarcastic, his wishful thinking was really loud, using the court to pressure himself, if the emperor believed it, then whether she hurt people or not, she would be speechless.
She said coldly.
"Oh, Imperial Physician Chen, the emperor is a saint, unify the territory, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and what do you mean by this?
Everyone in the world knows that the prime minister is an official appointed by the emperor, and the official residence is a product, which can be described as a hero of this dynasty, and the third prince is the emperor's own son, are you insulting the emperor's incompetence in disguise, or are these two important ministers of the court incompetent? ”
Cheng Mo saw that Imperial Physician Chen's face changed, his eyes were a little frightened, and the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer.
The emperor was suddenly furious, and his voice was cold, "Bold, Imperial Doctor Chen, you are so bold that you dare to insult me for being mediocre and incompetent." ”
The sudden anger made Imperial Physician Chen kneel down in horror, "The emperor is angry, the minister didn't mean this, but, this demon girl ......"
"It's just that I, a demon girl, can destroy the country that the emperor used the Jin Ge Iron Horse to destroy with my own strength, Imperial Doctor Chen, do you think that's the case?"
Cheng Mo interrupted him, leaving Imperial Physician Chen speechless, glaring at her angrily, as if she was just refuting herself, in fact, he knew that Cheng Mo's words confirmed the fact that he insulted the emperor for being incompetent.
Imperial Physician Chen sighed and knelt beside him, his mood fluctuated, "Your Majesty, the old minister is loyal to you, and he has never made a difference for so many years, you must not listen to the words of this demon girl!" ”
Does he want to get credit for all these years, or work hard to dispel the emperor's speculation about him, Cheng Mo sneered, bowed in front of the emperor, respectfully and humblely, and pretended to be aggrieved.
"The emperor is a saint, the courtiers are just a woman, and if someone is buttoned up with such a big hat, what can they do in the future?
The people outside know that the courtiers saved their lives, if the saint punishes the courtiers because of Imperial Doctor Chen because she is a court official, then the people will definitely insult the saint's wisdom, and ask the emperor to return the courtiers to justice. ”
Imperial Physician Chen didn't expect that this Cheng Mo would be so clever and orderly, every word was aimed at him, and the emperor did not consider all his contributions.
He glared angrily, anxiously asked the emperor to play, and his tone was firm, "Your Majesty, the old minister asked for the execution of this demon girl who brought disaster to the country and the people, and everyone knew about the poisoning that day, and she dared to use lime water to give the patient to drink, her heart was vicious, and there was also a doctor in the hospital who could testify." ”
The quarrel between the two made the emperor have a headache, and he held his head weakly, sighed and said, "In that case, the heirloom." ”
Several doctors from the Tai Hospital have pointed out that Cheng Mo was the one who poisoned him that day, and those patients died nearly 100 overnight, and they were all Cheng Mo's actions.
Cheng Mo looked at those imperial doctors indifferently and pointed out to him, without making a rebuttal, a group of people pointed at Cheng Mo one after another, "Your Majesty, the ministers can testify that it was indeed this girl who poisoned the victims." ”
Seeing that she didn't refute for a long time, the emperor thought that she had admitted the matter, and asked in a cold voice, "Cheng Mo, the imperial doctors have identified you one after another, what else do you have to say?" ”
"Your Majesty, everyone knows that the supreme commander of the Tai Hospital is Imperial Doctor Chen, if he says a word, I am afraid that all the adults and even the ministers of the court will also identify the courtiers, the courtiers are weak and weak, will anyone believe what they say?"
Cheng Mo's eyes showed a touch of helplessness, squinting his eyes, seeing the hesitation in the emperor's eyes.
Her cheeks and eyes seemed to be reflected in the emperor's eyes, and through the process, the emperor seemed to see the figure of another person, a dream that he couldn't forget for a long time.
He coughed to hide his nostalgia, his eyes never left Cheng Mo, raised his hand and said majestically, "The world is my world, not to mention that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention the little imperial doctor, if there is a grievance, it is okay to say everything." ”
"Presumptuous, am I not going to be able to frame you as a little woman in the hospital, and are you too indifferent to us."
Imperial Physician Chen angrily reprimanded Cheng Mo, and was also afraid of the emperor's change of attitude.
"It seems unreasonable to frame the little girl, but the person behind this is the third prince, Cheng Mo doesn't understand, how can the hospital have such courage to frame the third prince."
As soon as he heard that his son had something, the emperor's eyes tightened, and he urged, "What's going on, tell me quickly." ”
Cheng Mo glanced at Imperial Physician Chen mockingly, bluntly speaking, not afraid of power, "Back to the emperor, the third prince knew that his courtiers were good at medical skills, and she was a daughter, so he remembered that his mother would go to Daming Temple to treat people for free on August 15 every year, so he had good thoughts." ”
The three princes invited their courtiers to go to Daming Temple to treat the patients for a day to remember the concubine Niangniang, and when the epidemic broke out, the three princes strongly recommended the courtiers and let the courtiers and the imperial doctors protest together.
As a result, when the little master was decocting the medicine, he was calculated, and he happened to distribute the medicinal soup that was drugged to the victims, so there was a theory of poisoning.
The emperor is sage, the poisoned person is vicious, the third prince is helpless, only the emperor's favor is now intact, if he loses the emperor's favor due to an accident, then his ending is ......"
Cheng Mo paused, frowned, and didn't want to continue, she believed that the emperor would guess the rest of the words.
This is a major matter to frame the emperor's heir, and the imperial doctor is excited and argues, "You are spewing blood, we are all court officials, how can we do such an inferior thing, only people like you can do such a thing." ”
What's wrong with people like her, she thinks she's much better than them who are roosters and dogs.
The emperor was annoyed, he knew in his heart Yue Wulan's status in the imperial court, and he did not fight or fight on weekdays, and the ministers around him did not look at him as a prince.
But he always thought that as long as Yue Wulan was happy, he didn't expect that someone would murder him, gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but scold angrily, "Enough, Miss Cheng, you said that someone framed you, but someone can testify?" ”
Cheng Mo pursed her lips, as a specific witness, she really didn't pay attention, just when she saw the smug eyes of those imperial doctors, a voice broke into the hall.
"The son can testify."
Cheng Mo turned his head and saw Yue Wulan, who was dressed in white, approaching and landing like a fairy, when he got closer, he smiled at her, and then looked at the emperor.
The emperor showed a look of helplessness on his face, and looked at his much-loved prince with pity.
"Lan'er, the person was recommended by you, and this person ...... testify"
"Father and emperor rest assured, the son brought someone to the testimony, and he only needs the first instance to know the result."
Hearing his words, the emperor exhaled and relaxed a lot, he wanted to keep Yue Wulan, but he couldn't make people dissatisfied, it was naturally best to have evidence, and he could punish these people who bullied him.
A little master from Daming Temple walked in, recited a sentence of Amitabha, saluted respectfully and piously, and then Yue Wulan asked her to report everything she saw that day.
The little master nodded, his eyes sincere, "Your Majesty, when the poor nuns were decocting the medicine that day, someone from the Tai Hospital came over and said that the host had something to look for, and he would take care of the medicine for the poor nuns."
But the host didn't call, and when he returned to the kitchen, there was a crowd of messengers
It disappeared, and the poor nun didn't think much about it, but after the patient drank the medicine, he began to feel pain and his condition worsened. ”
"I'm afraid this is a false witness that the third prince found for this demon girl, what's more, this doesn't mean anything, it's just a little nun." Imperial Physician Chen snorted coldly, the witness who bit this person to death was fake.
The little master recited the sentence Amitabha, and the monks did not speak.
Yue Wulan said coldly, "Imperial Doctor Chen, you are really mad in order to frame this king, don't you know where Daming Temple is?" ”
Because of his voice, the emperor also frowned and wondered, Daming Temple is the place where the Empress Dowager became a monk, and now the presiding officer is also the Empress Dowager Zhaoyi back then, compared with him, he is more willing to favor the royal family, and his words are much softer.
"This really doesn't mean anything, Lan'er, you have other witnesses."
Yue Wulan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "Since you think this person is not qualified, come over there with some qualifications, come here, bring someone in." ”
"The ministers will meet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and meet the three princes."
The emperor's attitude was a little gentle, and he said, "Excuse me, Chen Tong, do you know what is going on with this?" ”
Seeing Chen Tong, Imperial Physician Chen's face immediately turned dark, but he didn't expect to defend day and night. couldn't prevent the person around him, and dared to betray himself and oppose the Tai Hospital.
Cheng Mo was also surprised, moved speechless, she never thought that Chen Tong would openly oppose the Tai Hospital for her own sake and wash away her grievances.
Under her gaze, Chen Tong bent down respectfully, and said righteously, "Back to Your Majesty, this disaster, it is true that Miss Cheng has paid a lot, and the final plan was also planned by Miss Cheng, which controlled the epidemic."
More than 100 people died that night, not poisoning, but the medicine conflict, and it was also Miss Cheng who mentioned it, and the minister understood that those medicines were prescribed by the Tai Hospital.
As for lime water, the minister later carefully read a medical book, but it was recorded that eating in moderation would make it possible to recover from illness quickly. ”
His words made Imperial Physician Chen furious, and other Imperial Physicians also pointed at Imperial Physician Chen, and their words were extremely uncomfortable, including his eating inside and out.
"Chen Tong, are you crazy, for the sake of this woman, you actually slandered our hospital? Are you also confused by her, so you openly provoke the reputation of the hospital. ”
Chen Tong retreated, his eyes were heavy and determined, "I used to think that the Tai Hospital was the best place in the world, and what I did was also the most noble work, but now I understand that saving lives and helping the injured is the duty of a doctor. ”
His slap gave Imperial Physician Chen and the others a resounding slap, only to make their heads buzz.
The emperor's holy words are full of praise for Chen Tong's attitude of not being powerful, "What a clear conscience." ”
