Yang Tinghe's meaning is obvious, the purpose of your visit is not to cure the disease, but to get the emperor back to the capital as soon as possible.

Whether it is Chen or intimidation based on the facts, as long as the emperor can return to Beijing, the goal will be achieved, and the rest will be up to you to play freely.

Xue Ji has not been in the palace for a long time, and it is okay to treat people, but not in terms of dealing with people, while Wu Jie is scheming and knows everything.

Wu Jie said: "The lower officials will persuade His Majesty to return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm."

Yang Tinghe nodded, "You must know that my Daming Sheji must not be in the hands of others, and someone wants to blackmail the Son of Heaven...... If His Majesty's illness does not heal and he is taken to the land of the nine borders, he will fight back against the Beijing division with soldiers and horses from the border areas, I am afraid that there will be a great disaster. ”

At this point, Xue Ji finally understood a little.

Is this to heal the emperor?

It sounded more like a special mission to bring the emperor back to the capital, and they were not targeting the emperor himself, but Jiang Bin, who had the power around the emperor.

Jiang Bin, as the emperor's righteous son, did not have the blood of the old Zhu family when Zhu Houzhao's condition changed, but now it is the emperor's surname no matter what, and what is even more terrible is that Jiang Bin controls the guards around the emperor and all walks of life in the northwest border army.

Xue Ji said: "Lord Zhongtang, things won't get so serious, right?" ”

Yang Tinghe glared at Xue Ji, although he admired Xue Ji very much, and even thought about cultivating Xue Ji as an envoy, but obviously he was not very satisfied with Xue Ji's political consciousness.

"Since ancient times, there have been fewer things that have brought disaster to the country and the people? Do you have to wait for something to happen and realize that it will bring disaster to the world and make the people miserable, before you wake up? ”

Yang Tinghe said sharply.

In other words, do you think Jiang Bin doesn't have this ability now, but those traitors in history who usurped the throne and took power, or caused the world to turn from prosperity to decline to troubled times, such as Wang Mang, An Lushan and others, how many of them showed it in advance? As a court official, it is necessary to prevent problems before they happen, rather than regret them after they happen.

Wu Jie also said: "Ping Yubo, this person, is arbitrary, blinds the Holy Hearing, causes chaos in the court, and even instigates the Holy Patrol to the south, making the people of the world miserable...... It is incumbent upon us to persuade His Majesty to return to the court. ”

This trip is not for the purpose of curing diseases, but for the purpose of admonishing by virtue of the identity of a doctor.

Xue Ji felt that he might be speaking badly, which made Yang Tinghe feel bad about himself, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

"Remember, no matter what happens, your majesty will return to the court first, and you must not obey the dispatch of others, otherwise you will be my sinner...... The old man stayed in Jingshi and waited for the good news of the two to come. ”

Yang Tinghe asked Xue Ji and Wu Jie to get the emperor back to the capital at all costs, if his condition improved on the way...... Then let it deteriorate suddenly, in short, to promote the emperor's return to the dynasty is the real purpose of going south.

Cure?

Cure the hair!

……

……

Xue Ji and Wu Jie left the capital with the people from the Tai Hospital, which was very low-key, and outsiders did not know the inside story.

But as Su Xigui returned to Beijing, with his keen sense of smell, he didn't know where to find out the news, so he came to see Zhu Hao early and explained the matter.

“…… Imperial Physician Xue and Imperial Physician Wu, famous in the imperial capital, where the nobles in the palace are sick, after the diagnosis and treatment of the two, they will be cured after a few doses of medicine, and it is difficult for their protégés to be cured outside, let alone myself? These two suddenly led the team south, but they were afraid that His Majesty was suffering from a vicious disease. ”

When Su Xigui said this, his eyes lit up.

Although Zhu Hao did not tell him that it was not far from the death of the emperor and that the new emperor was about to ascend the throne, after all, the relationship between the two was not as good as that, but Su Xigui was still vaguely aware of the trend in this regard, and Zhu Hao usually gave a lot of hints.

Zhu Hao said: "Is it also possible that someone around His Majesty is infected with a serious disease?" ”

Su Xigui said with a smile: "Master Zhu, don't sell it...... If you hadn't let the contemptible people pay attention, the contemptible people would not have taken the trouble to investigate, in fact, Your Majesty has long been ill, and there have been occasional cases of vomiting blood at the beginning of the year, if everything is as usual, Your Majesty will not only care about the march of the army in the north this month, and there will be no other abnormal actions. ”

Su Xigui is a person who is good at observing and summarizing.

Zhu Houzhao toured all the way to the south until the first month of his journey to the north, and he was doing mischief, harassing and plundering the soldiers and horses under his command, doing all kinds of evil, just like a robber crossing the border.

But recently, the emperor has been unusually low-key, and he doesn't disturb the people everywhere he goes, and even the opera troupe singing around the emperor has died down, and now he is transferring the imperial doctor from the capital to the army, which can only be explained that the emperor is sick, and the condition can not be solved by the imperial doctor with the army, so he can only transfer the two medical masters in the capital to support.

Thinking of Zhu Hao's remarks that he had hinted to him before that it was possible to change the sky, Su Xigui would inevitably think, if this is not a sign of a change in the sky, what is it?

Zhu Hao asked, "Su Dongzhu hasn't found out the real situation around His Majesty recently?" ”

"It's hard to ask."

Su Xigui shook his head and said, "The people around the emperor have changed several times, and there were outsiders who could see him in the past, but now even some of His Majesty's close ministers, such as favored eunuchs and servants, can't see His Majesty's face, and there are even rumors about people around His Majesty...... Ahem, it's said that something big happened to the saint!

"Now all the news seems to be covered with a layer of mist, which is unpredictable, and it may not be decided until His Majesty returns to Beijing."

As he spoke, Su Xigui looked at Zhu Hao eagerly, as if to say, you seem to be more well-informed than me here.

You don't know what's going on?

When Zhu Hao heard this, he was basically relieved.

Regardless of whether Zhu Houzhao fell into the water or not, or whether his condition was really caused by falling into the water, at least his health was not as good as before, although Jiang Bin and others around the emperor were tightly sealing the news, but obviously the changes in the emperor's body could not be hidden from the palace, and the Empress Dowager Zhang trusted the civil officials very much, which was influenced by her husband Emperor Xiaozong, and felt that the civil officials could be trusted.

But I don't know that the civil officials are now very different from the time of Xiaozong, and the civil officials are being run on by the ministers, thinking of forming an alliance to protect themselves, and unconsciously forming a huge interest group, this interest group is the most disdainful of the emperor's mediocrity, so when it comes to the critical time, the civil official group is no longer Zhu Houzhao's strong backing, and is likely to become his life-threatening talisman.

Who dares to guarantee that the death of Zhu Houzhao in history has nothing to do with the civilian clique?

The tradition of the untimely death of the Ming Emperor has been passed down throughout the dynasty, and the civil official group is linked to the Imperial Hospital, who dares to guarantee that there is nothing greasy in it?

"When the owner of the Su returns to Beijing this time, is he going to live permanently or ......?"

Zhu Hao no longer talked about the emperor, but asked Su Xigui about his itinerary instead.

Su Xigui is very knowledgeable, Zhu Hao didn't mention it, he didn't mention it, and said with a smile: "Nanjing money and grain dispatch, Su didn't spend much money, mainly because Huang Gong had just been transferred to Nanjing, and the official chair had not yet been imprisoned, His Majesty returned to the court, and now there are some aftermath matters that need to be dealt with, after all, the Nanfu treasury is too empty."

"The despicable people went north this time to do some salt transfer with the household...... In the coming year, the coastal salt farms will produce more salt, thanks to the transformation of the salt farms after Huang Gong served as the head of the household in recent years, of course, everything is the credit of Zhu Xiao's family, with enough salt, it is necessary to open more salt introduction, and dilute the share of salt introduction that was stolen by Xungui before, so that the people can eat cheap salt, and the money and grain dispatch of the imperial court is smoother, and the treasury is not so stressed. ”

Su Xigui was very pleased.

After all, the imperial court can not make its own silver and grain, which is different from the issuance of paper money, under the silver standard system, even the imperial court is worried about the source of silver, in the past has also issued the Ming treasure banknote this kind of paper money to dilute the wealth of the people, but the world does not eat that set, to the end of Zhengde when the Ming treasure banknote basically has no credit base, it is difficult to circulate.

What can change this situation must be a hard currency for the whole society, that is, table salt.

Thanks to Zhu Hao's contribution to the salt drying method, as well as Huang Zhan in recent years as a household servant to strengthen the coastal salt flats of the salt flats, the first few years of the salt works are frying salt and drying salt at the same time, now basically become salt-based, the output and quality of the salt field have been significantly improved, especially the Zhang family, the Zhou family, these royal relatives stolen salt by the huge amount of salt production diluted, so that the Ming Dynasty finances step by step improved.

Even if the emperor spent a lot of money on his southern tour, Su Xigui, an official from a big salt merchant with white gloves, could return the huge income brought by the salt tax to the imperial court through his own operation.

There is Huang Zan behind him, and there is Su Xigui, a big official and businessman, who travels around the world, and he is invincible.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Su Dongzhu hasn't said yet, how long are you going to stay in Beijing this time!" ”

Su Xigui said: "For the time being...... Don't go! Hehe, Nanjing doesn't need me for a while, the focus of business in the past few years has been in the capital, maybe Huang Gong will return to Beijing as an official when he will be, I'm still waiting here. ”

Speaking of this, Su Xigui's face was full of smug expressions.

They all felt that Huang Zan took the initiative to ask for transfer out of Beijing and became the secretary of the Southern Household Department, which was a wrong choice, but Huang Zhan went and solved the dilemma of the lack of money and food in the Southern Household Department, which impressed the people of the DPRK and China.

Immediately, Emperor Zhengde was seriously ill, and the situation in the court was likely to be repeated, and Su Xigui arranged early and had a close relationship with Xingwangfu......

If everything goes well, maybe Huang Zan doesn't have to wait for two or three years in Jiangnan, and he will be able to return to Beijing in the next year, and then he will no longer be a waiter, but directly become a scholar.

"Then I have time, I have to get together with Su Dongzhu."

Zhu Hao smiled.

At this time, the people of Xingwangfu had all evacuated the Jingshi, and there was a lack of a black and white character around him, and the heavens sent Su Xigui at the critical moment.

What is rare is that Su Xigui is also obedient to him, Su Xigui may be more open than Xingwangfu in terms of intelligence network and officialdom connections, which makes Zhu Hao have a strong arm again.

"Little master, this time I bought another batch of dramas from Jiangnan...... Don't stare at you, it's not for you to help cultivate, it's contemptible...... I want to give it to the little master, thanks to the little master's efforts over the years, I have nothing to repay here, this group of people originally wanted to be sent to the palace, but now it seems that they may not be needed...... Please laugh at the little master. ”

As he spoke, he handed over a stack of deeds of sale.

Zhu Hao shook his head with a smile: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it." Just stay in the theater to perform and make a profit for the owner of the Soviet Union. ”
