Chapter 117: Seeking Nightmares and Seeking Ministers (2)

The imperial doctor didn't know what was going on, and came to the lobby of Dali Temple in a daze. The doors and windows were closed, and only a few glimmers of light poured in through the cracks, and there was darkness around him, and layers of cold air penetrated into his body.

The imperial doctor trembled a few times, but he still didn't care, and when he saw the Hunan people sitting in front of him, he asked, "This official has no interference with you, why did you invite me here?" ”

"You're also exalting yourself too much," Xiang lowered his head and let out a grim sneer, "I'm afraid I don't need a 'please' word for you." ”

The imperial doctor's face was gloomy: "I'm the one who waits for Your Majesty, Lianghou, you deceive people too much!" With your attitude, I'm not going to cooperate, farewell! ”

"How dare you!" As soon as the Hunan people gave an order, the officers on both sides immediately drew their swords, blocked the way of the imperial doctor, and opened their eyes and glared.

"Master Taiyi, you may not know that those who enter Dali Temple will have to shed their skin if they don't die, I hope you will cooperate well."

The imperial doctor timidly twisted his body and smiled awkwardly: "You, what do you say?" ”

The Hunan people paced around him: "Your medical skills are really poor, and you have diagnosed the wrong disease for the prince." You must not explain this to the emperor, so as to misunderstand the saint. ”

The imperial doctor frowned, looking dazed: "Impossible!" The prescriptions I prescribe are all clear and clear, and there is not a single word in it! ”

"Do you think you can hide it from me? clearly wants to harm the prince, and pretends not to know! ”

"I have always been a doctor in my own business, so I am favored by the emperor, how can I do such a cheap thing!"

Guo Xiangren didn't answer, only pointed to his back to the messenger, and spit out a word lightly: "Hit." ”

Before the imperial doctor could argue any more, the servants grabbed him, pushed him to the ground, lifted his shirt, and struck him the back.

After hitting the four spines, the imperial doctor's screams were heartbreaking, and he almost rolled his eyes, and the Hunan people hurriedly ordered him to stop, and saw him roll on the ground more than a dozen times, and the pain gradually subsided, so he asked again: "You said, did you make a mistake?" ”

The Imperial Doctor's face was as pale as dying, and he gasped as he replied, "I was wrong...... Wrong, but I really didn't want to hurt the prince. ”

"If you're afraid that I'll sue you for rebellion, you can write a confession here," Guo Xiang knocked on the table, "saying that the prince is not frightened, but contaminated with evil spirits, understand?" ”

"Know ......"

Half an hour later, in the dormitory.

"Is there such a bizarre thing in the palace?" The emperor took the form, looked at it carefully several times, and was still half-convinced, "I don't believe in ghosts. ”

The Hunan people kowtowed and said: "The ministers don't believe it, but the prince's side, such as Concubine Geng, etc., said that he was evil, and the imperial doctor finally said this." ”

"You hit him?" The emperor asked.

"The prescriptions he gave were not effective, and he did not let the ministers ask questions, so he was deeply suspicious; For the safety of the crown prince, the minister has to use punishment, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you! ”

"That's it. What do you say? ”

"The minister thinks that if you want to exorcise evil spirits, you must first seek the reason for the evil spirit, and then you can drive it away. Please allow Taoist priests and warlocks to enter the palace, and they will know when they start the law. ”

The emperor smacked his lips, and finally nodded in permission, and immediately called Shen Jing to draft an order, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to visit the person who solved the nightmare, and brought it as soon as possible.

Lu Zhixian presented the edict to Gyeonggi, and within two days, countless people vied for a meeting, blocking the entrance of the government office, and the name posts were like snowflakes accumulating public cases, making the government Yin anxious, and the subordinate officials spent a day of hard work before finishing and submitting a reliable list.

Lu Zhixian didn't dare to take care of things, and asked Su Zongshan, but Su Zongshan shook his head and didn't know, so he had to ask Chen Tongpao again. Chen Tongpao looked at it, and suddenly pointed to a name and said, "I know this Chang Zhenren." His name is Chang You, he funded the construction of a Taoist temple in the capital, lived here for about 20 years, and was quite respected by the people, and also made Zhaijiao for some high-ranking officials. ”

Lu Zhixian smiled embarrassedly: "Look, I don't know as well as you, if you preside over this matter, if you don't do it properly, won't you miss the prince's life?" Or you go and tell the emperor. ”

"Alright, I'll do this for you." Comrade Chen readily agreed, and his expression did not fluctuate at all.

"Respectfully, please be here!"

A eunuch shouted, and several huge palace doors in front of him opened one after another, revealing a wide corridor. Chang Zhenren was allowed to sit on a pair of shoulders, carried by his disciples, while he held the dust in his hand, stroked his silver beard slowly, and closed a pair of eyes.

"Please let a real person do it here."

"Where?" Chang Zhenren still remained motionless and asked.

"Chaofang."

Only then did Chang Zhenren open his eyes, stood up with his disciple's arm, stepped over his shoulder, and saluted to the officials waiting in front of him: "Lao Dao has seen adults. Dare to ask the adult's name and surname. ”

"In the subordinate department of Shangshu Chen Tongpao, I have heard for a long time that the real person practice is extraordinary, and when I see it today, it is like a fairy. I heard that you haven't eaten yet, so I specially ordered someone to prepare a meal, hope to appreciate the thin noodles, and go to the court room with me to talk less. ”

Chang Zhenren replied slowly: "Isn't the prince in a hurry to heal?" ”

Chen Tongpao smiled: "The prince's illness has been many days, how can it be in this instant? What's more, the emperor has already issued a clear decree this morning, telling me and other ministers to entertain real people, how can we go against it? ”

Chang Zhenren was secretly happy, and led the disciples into the house, laughing and talking while eating. The real person didn't eat much, only dipped a few chopsticks, and then closed his eyes and rested; However, a few little Taoist priests used chopsticks to scratch around, gobbling up, and after a while, they ate all the vegetarian dishes, leaving only a few plates of chicken and duck meat on the table. Chen Tongbei thought that 'meat should not be eaten in front of monks', so he did not take a bite and withdrew together.

Chang Zhenren saw that the matter was over, and was about to get up to say goodbye, but Chen Tongpao stayed and said: "Real person and stay, I still have some personal matters I want to ask." ”

The real person immediately understood the deep meaning of these words, and said to the disciples: "I will talk to Master Chen for a while, and you will retreat first." The disciples silently complied and helped them to the door.

"It's time to ......come," Chen Tongpao pinched his fingers, secretly calculating something.

"What?" When Chang Zhenren saw him muttering, he couldn't help but wonder.

"It's okay, we say ours."

"Someone else around, convenient?" Chang Zhenren quietly pointed to the entourage beside him and asked.

Comrade Chen raised a smile: "They are all my henchmen and subordinates, so there is no need to shy away from them." ”

At this time, the morning fog outside gradually dissipated, and the ministers of the previous dynasty were about to arrive, passing by this court, among which there were naturally Ye Yongjia and Cai Xianqing.

Cai Xianqing was careful, looked at a few strangely dressed people standing in front of a room, and asked directly, "Who are you?" Why enter the palace? ”

"We are disciples of Chang Zhenren, and we are here by order!"

"Then why don't you go to treat the prince?"

"The real person is discussing with the Chen Ministry."

"Chen Zhibu ......" Cai Xianqing read these three words, and actually had a plan.
