Chapter 1118: Fragments of Secret Scrolls and Officialdom

There is also a straw man with a rush of grass.

Imperial Physician Chen picked it up and looked at it, and was so angry that he trembled:

The straw man had two long needles nailed to his chest, and a small strip of white cloth was fixed, on which was written the name of his Imperial Physician Chen!

Witchcraft!

Someone cursed him and sent him this box!

"Vicious, so vicious!" Imperial Physician Chen pulled out the long needle from the straw man again.

He himself is a doctor, and at a glance he can see that the needle is hollow, which is used for medical purposes.

"Liu Qi! It must be Liu Qi, the red-eyed monster who forgot to bastard, cursed me! He hated throwing the needle in the box, "And let you be proud all night, and I will clean you up tomorrow as soon as you enter the Imperial Medical Bureau!" ”

Told the porter to throw away the box, and Imperial Doctor Chen went back to the house to rest.

He thought he would be so angry that he couldn't sleep, but when he turned over twice on the couch, the wine came up.

I don't know if it's a box of murderous things, he had a nightmare.

In the dream, the second prince's illness suddenly recurred.

That state of madness is the same as before.

The king was very angry and announced that he would come in and be treated.

When Imperial Physician Chen saw that the second prince's bedside was empty, he was shocked and suspicious: "Where is the heart lamp?" It should hang above the patient's seal hall and never leave it! ”

King Hun sat next to his second son, with the light on his back, Imperial Physician Chen couldn't see his face clearly, but he could feel his gloom and irritability: "It's not good, as soon as my son sees this lamp, he will talk nonsense, I will let people remove it!" ”

Imperial Physician Chen was taken aback: "I can't help it, your majesty, I have to hang back quickly!" The second prince must be guarded by a heart lamp. ”

"Is it because the shape you made is wrong, and the color of the light you debugged is wrong?"

"The shape and light color are not in the way, so we chose the most common melon shape. The key to refining the heart lamp is to have all the materials, especially the bright lamp is indispensable. ”

"Really?" King Hun beckoned, and the palace people in the rear slowly approached with a melon-shaped lamp.

Imperial Physician Chen subconsciously said "Huh": "Why is it so big?" ”

"Look at it again."

The palace people walked over, and Imperial Physician Chen saw that it was actually half smaller than an ordinary palace lamp, and there was red paper pasted on the outside.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it in a daze.

The "heart lamp" was hung in front of the second prince's bed, and the light shone on the patient, but it did not work as before.

Strange, what's going on, why does the condition recur?

King Hun was furious: "Is your method feasible?" It took so much effort, why did the heart lamp not work? ”

Imperial Doctor Chen was in a cold sweat: "There is an effect, there is an effect, the condition occasionally recurs, as long as you insist, you will ......"

King Xun interrupted him: "Tell me clearly, where did you find this method?" ”

"Xiaguan ......" Imperial Physician Chen swallowed, "Xiaguan found the refining method of the heart lamp from the fragments of an ancient secret scroll. After repeated scrutiny, it is effective for the second prince. ”

"Is it also the time and place of the maturity of the lantern on the fragment?"

"Yes, yes." Imperial Physician Chen said, "Fortunately, within a thousand miles, only the Snow Peak of the Xiaoyao Sect grows Bright Lantern Grass, and it has matured recently. ”

"Where did you get this fragment of the secret scroll?"

"I accidentally bought it from the old bookstore in the east of the city, and it only cost two coins of silver, and the lower officials often went to the bookstore to buy old books......"

"Really?" King Hun stared at him, "Even Gu dares to deceive?" Pull it down, hit the twenty boards first! ”

Imperial Doctor Chen was shocked and shouted on the ground: "Wronged, the lower officials dare not deceive!" ”

"Wronged? Are you saying I'm wrong? King Hun smiled, every word made his heart tremble, "Thirty big boards." ”

Two guards with big shoulders and round waists came and dragged him down like piglets to be tortured.

Imperial Physician Chen trembled with fright.

He knew very well that the palace people were tired of playing boards, thirty boards might only hurt flesh and skin, and ten boards might also kill people, but he didn't want to touch anything.

What's more, with the temper of King Hu, he can't ask the result he wants, and thirty boards may just be an appetizer.

"I say, I say!" Imperial Physician Chen immediately softened, "But this truth is even more outrageous, and it is even more difficult for the king to accept it, and the officials and talents are ......."

I made up a place for the secret scroll.

"If you talk nonsense, you'll hit ten boards first."

Imperial Physician Chen's note immediately became clear: "The secret method of refining the heart method was not found in the bookstore, it is, it appeared directly on my desk. ”

"Straight on your desk?" King Hun laughed when he heard this, "You mean, it's not you who are looking for the secret method, but the secret method itself that finds you?" ”

"It sounds incredible, but it's true, it's true." Imperial Physician Chen swallowed his saliva, "Xia Guan still remembers that night when he saw the medical scriptures, and the next night, he hurried into the palace to be on duty, and only went home after dark." When I got home, there was a half-booklet pressed under the paperweight in the study, which was the secret method of recording the lantern grass and the heart lamp. ”

"After that, I checked a lot of information and judged that the heart lamp is very likely to be effective for the second prince!" Imperial Physician Chen kowtowed and said eagerly, "Your Majesty, the lower officials don't dare to say a word!" ”

King Hu's anger faded a little, as if he was also thinking: "When is it?" ”

"Half a year, half a year ago!"

"Half a year ago? Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Imperial Physician Chen hurriedly defended: "The fragment appeared too suddenly, and the lower officials also had to consult the information and work hard to distinguish the evidence before they dared to let the second prince use it." Besides, it was still early before the lantern matured. ”

"Really?" King Hun said coldly, "There is no other reason? ”

"No, no." Although Imperial Physician Chen lowered his head, he could feel the sharpness of King Hu's gaze, as if he could burn two holes in his head.

He was sweating like a pulp.

"And then?" The king asked him again, "My son's illness has recurred, what is the explanation?" ”

Imperial Physician Chen has never used a heart lamp to cure his heart madness, he fixed his mind before he said: "The soul of the second prince is there, and he has not lost it, unlike other diseases that are missing one soul or two souls, which cannot be cured with a bright lamp." ”

"The heart lamp refined with the bright lamp can even expel the demons of the immortals, and it should only be a matter of time before the second prince's illness is dealt with." He pointed to the small lamp next to the bed, and wanted to say that it was actually a knife used to kill chickens, "You still have to observe carefully here, and please ask the king for leniency!" ”

King Hun snorted: "Who do you think will send you the secret scroll?" ”

"I don't know about this." Imperial Physician Chen kowtowed, "Maybe it's the second prince of God." ”

King Xun smiled: "You have rewarded God?" ”

The gods occasionally respond to humans, when they feel the need.

Imperial Physician Chen was startled again, and shook his head again and again: "Xia Guan usually goes to the temple to offer sacrifices, but unfortunately he has never been favored by the gods. ”

"Can this mind be restored to a bright lamp?"

"Well, I guess it can't. This treasure is refined into a magic weapon, as if the wood has become a boat, and the boat and the boat cannot be turned back into a tree. ”

"What do you do with the rewards that Lone gave you?" "I heard that you have been a big celebrity in the capital recently, and you are popular everywhere you go. ”

"This is all the grace of the king!" Imperial Physician Chen hurriedly said, "The rewards are still there, don't dare to use them indiscriminately." ”

When Imperial Physician Chen woke up, he saw a white fish belly in the east.

It turned out to be a dream.

As soon as he touched his head, it was all cold sweat. The bed was also wet.

It's okay, it's just a dream.

It's all to blame for the surname Liu, and he must be cleaned up when he returns today!

……

He Lingchuan also got up, stretched his neck, and stretched his waist.

The Soul Mirror immediately asked him, "Is there a catch?" ”

Among all the people and things around He Lingchuan, it is the one who really knows, and even knows about the existence of the Coiling Dragon World and Nightmares.

"Yes. Last night, I sneaked into Dr. Chen's dreamland and asked for a lot of information. On top of that, he confessed that he used the Heart Lantern to heal the second prince, and had previously introduced the Bright Lantern Grass to King Hu. ”

He Lingchuan just gave it a try, but he didn't expect to succeed immediately. It can be seen that the Yuan Power of the Hun Kingdom is even more meager than that of the Kite Kingdom, and it can't even block the evil evil for the medical officials in the court.

Yuanli is not only a reflection of national strength, but also a symbol of people's hearts.

Imperial Physician Chen inexplicably obtained the fragment of the secret scroll half a year ago, and it took several months to verify it before he dared to use it on the second prince. The booklet didn't have long legs and couldn't run on his own, so, who took such good care of him?

The Soul Mirror also asked: "Who is this, why didn't you give the fragment to others, but to Imperial Doctor Chen?" ”

"Good question." He Lingchuan smiled, "Imperial Physician Chen himself doesn't know, we have to find an answer for him." ”

If you can solve the reason why the people behind the scenes chose Imperial Doctor Chen, maybe you can spy on his motives.

If you find out the motive and then find someone, it may be easier to find someone.

The Soul Mirror wondered: "He doesn't know it himself, can you find it?" ”

"The authorities are obsessed, and sometimes the answer is not always in their own hands." He Lingchuan groaned, "I already have some clues here. ”

Next, he wandered around Xuncheng for two days to observe the local people's livelihood and customs.

……

As soon as it rained that evening, Dong Rui came back.

This guy was full of red light, and as soon as he came in, he asked for water to drink: "There is a harvest, a great harvest!" ”

He Lingchuan poured him a cup of hot water: "Who did you find?" ”

"I first went to Zuiyue Building to scatter money, and found the top brand there to drink and chat about Fenghua, and she told me that there is indeed a doctor named Liu Qi in the Taiyi Bureau, who is good at detoxification and has been well-known in the Taiyi Bureau for many years."

"So, you have a hidden poison to solve?" If you go to the land of fireworks to find out the news, do you have to nod your head? "Are you talking to people about Huayue or Hualiu?"

"How can it be me, it's clear that I have a friend!" Dong Ruiyi is stern, anyway, he spent He Lingchuan's money, so his friend is-

"I'm just a little merchant from other places, how can I invite Imperial Doctor Liu to drive! Fortunately, Imperial Physician Liu is all over Nanhun and several of his own disciples are in Xuncheng, among which the surname Yang who has the best mix is also a frequent visitor to Zuiyue Tower, and often goes there to socialize. He opened three medical clinics in Xuncheng, because of his teacher's fame and his own skills, patients all came to visit. The consultation fee of this curator Yang is not cheap. ”

He Lingchuan smiled: "Are you going to visit this Curator Yang?" ”

If Director Yang can mix so openly in Xuncheng, and can practice medicine with the title of Imperial Physician Liu's personal disciple, then his relationship with Imperial Physician Liu should be quite close.

This kind of passing, helping, and interest binding between master and apprentice is sometimes more reliable than the relationship between father and son.

"That has to go." Dong Rui said with a smile, "I spent a lot of money to meet Director Yang, and when I met, I said that I had a large number of precious medicinal materials in my hand and was looking for a long-term buyer. He wanted to let me go, but when he saw the four or five flavors of medicinal herbs I took out, he immediately changed his mind. ”

Dong Rui himself is also proficient in pharmacology, and there is never a shortage of precious materials on his body.

Lingguang looked at him with a resentful face, Dong Ruiliang gave people five hundred years of ginseng from it.

"The good medicine I took out, even if he didn't sell it to the patient, took it to honor his teacher or dedicated it to the palace, it was excellent. So the two of us went to Zuiyue Tower to ask for a private room, and we had a drink and talked about business. Dong Rui sighed, "You know, I don't like to deal with people, and I did it hard this time." ”

Running trains with all sides and mouths full of clothes is usually He Lingchuan or Lu Qiuwei's strength.

Dong Rui has been watching for so long, and he has only learned a little bit of skin.

Lingguang couldn't help but say, "You used the intoxication I gave you, right?" ”

"Used, used, put it in his wine." Dong Rui gave it a thumbs up, "I didn't give it to him until the end of the wine game, so as not to make him suspicious." As soon as he poured half a cup, he was in a trance, and he had to answer all questions. ”

"He won't remember what he said when he woke up." Lingguang said, "This thing has no side effects. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Imperial Physician Liu has been in a bad mood for the past two days, and Imperial Physician Cheng made things difficult for him in front of all his subordinates for no reason, and scolded him fiercely."

Lingguang immediately said: "This imperial doctor has a really big temper. ”

It's really unlucky to have such a boss, but fortunately its owner is very kind.

He Lingchuan smiled but did not speak.

The brocade box was given by him, and the chicken head and rat head were brought by Dong Rui.

He wanted to find out who Imperial Doctor Chen's opponent was in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The one who knows Taiyi Chen best must be his opponent.

Doctor Chen can't figure out what to do, maybe people have the answer here?

"What is the contradiction between Imperial Physician Chen and Imperial Physician Liu?" As soon as Imperial Physician Chen saw the nails and the straw man, he blurted out and scolded Liu Qi.

Obviously, the gap between these two men is deepest.

"A few months ago, Imperial Physician Chen was just a waiter, and the Imperial Physician at that time was Wang Chuanyi and Wang Imperial Physician, and Imperial Physician Liu was his deputy." Dong Rui relayed Director Yang's original words, "Because the second prince's condition has not improved, King Hu is very dissatisfied with the imperial doctors, and often summons Wang Chuanyi to reprimand him in the past, and also reprimands other imperial doctors. Later, Wang Chuanyi changed the prescription for the second prince, which calmed down the patient and reduced the number of seizures. But the side effect is that you are constantly asleep, and you are not even easily woken up. ”

"This effect, King Hun is not satisfied, he hopes that the second son can return to normal, and Hun Kingdom will have a prince. Soon after, King Huan suddenly decided that Wang Chuanyi's medicine was wrong, saying that he had caused the second prince to be drowsy all day long and his illness to return to serious illness, so he cut him down in a fit of rage. ”

He Lingchuan suddenly said: "It turns out that Wang Chuanyi is the beheaded Taiyi Cheng?" ”

Dong Rui added: "The surname Yang doesn't know which medicine Wang Chuanyi used to commit a taboo, but I guess ......"

"Sedatives!" Lingguang suddenly interjected, "The less sick the second prince is, the less they will be blamed." In cases where there is no cure, this is a conservative but useful treatment option. ”

In the eyes of Imperial Physician Wang and others, it is impossible for the second prince to return to normal anyway, so the use of tranquilizers to make him less sick can also be explained here in King Hu.

"After Wang Chuanyi was beheaded, Imperial Physician Liu suspected that there was an informant behind this incident, Imperial Physician Chen." Dong Rui continued, "It stands to reason that the doctor is not qualified to inspect the prescription of the imperial physician, but Imperial Physician Liu caught Imperial Physician Chen peeking at him on the spot and punished him. ”

After this incident, Imperial Physician Liu and the others were extremely disgusted with Imperial Physician Chen. As soon as Wang Chuanyi died, the position of Imperial Physician Cheng became vacant, and King Huan asked them to nominate a person with excellent medical skills to succeed him, and everyone pushed Imperial Physician Chen up. ”

"It's really unflattering." After Wang Chuanyi's death, all the medical officers understood that the position of the imperial physician was hot, and whoever sat on it might die.

So they unanimously elected Imperial Physician Chen, the murderer in the eyes of the doctors.

Lingguang was puzzled: "I don't understand, is Wang Chuanyi very popular in the Taiyi Bureau?" Why do all the medical officers hate Imperial Doctor Chen? ”

He Lingchuan touched its head: "You are too simple, you have never been in the bureaucracy." What prescription the imperial physician prescribed to the second prince, most of the other imperial physicians were clear. ”

Can the medicine given to the second prince be concealed from other qualified imperial doctors?

"The number of imperial physicians who have the right to watch this prescription should be limited."

Lingguang understood: "So they're together?" ”

"It's either a rod or a head, and the imperial doctors are also forced by King Hun to have no choice, the so-called requirements and countermeasures. I want to overturn Doctor Wang's diagnosis and treatment plan, unless you can come up with a better version. Besides, Wang Chuanyi has been serving as the imperial physician for a long time, and he has already built up his own set of contacts. He Lingchuan analyzed, "I believe that if he had a second way, he would not have used his hands on the prescription, which is too risky." You see, there will always be characters like Imperial Doctor Chen who come out to stir up the situation. ”

"But they didn't expect that Imperial Physician Chen would be able to cure the second prince's illness, and his status and future would be stable." Dong Rui counted with his fingers, "That's not right, Imperial Doctor Chen got the fragment of the secret scroll half a year ago, why didn't he give it in time?" ”

"At that time, he was just a doctor, and his status was too low, so it stands to reason that the prescription offered could not be directly handed over to the court, but should be given to the imperial doctor first." He Lingchuan has never been involved in the court of the Hun Kingdom, but the rules of officialdom are the same everywhere, "If the imperial physician Cheng thinks it is feasible, he will hand it over to the king of Hu." How much credit do you think Imperial Physician Chen can get from this? ”

When Taiyi Chen's secret method arrived at Taiyi Cheng, it was the credit of Taiyi Cheng. How much Imperial Physician Chen can get in the end depends on Imperial Physician Cheng's conscience.

Ling Guangqi said: "Can't he skip the level and directly dedicate it to King Hu?" ”

"Dedicated to King Hu, King Hu can't understand it. Professional matters have to be handed over to professional people, so this prescription will still flow into the hands of Taiyi Cheng. The Imperial Physician Cheng said no, and King Xun wouldn't use it. He Lingchuan said with a smile, "You see, in the end, Imperial Doctor Chen couldn't show his merits, and he offended his top boss for no reason." If you were Imperial Doctor Chen and had such an inevitable and feasible diagnosis and treatment plan in your hand, what would you do? ”

Isn't this a dead end, and you can't get any credit left and right! Lingguang scratched her ears and cheeks for a long time before she remembered that Imperial Doctor Chen had actually broken the situation with practical actions:

"He got rid of the Imperial Doctor?"
