Chapter 13: The Sages of the Ancients
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
In He Mansion, Ho Hongan's brother Ho Hongkang drove the carriage all night and finally arrived at dawn.
Jiang Ning looked at him with a tired face, and saluted:
"Dr. Lao He came overnight, but the illness of the in-house could not be delayed, and I asked Dr. He to save him."
"Master Jiang is serious, and the benevolence of doctors is what old decay should do.
Let's let the old man take a look at Mrs. Zun first. ”
He Hongkang saw that Jiang Ning's eyes were full of blood, and sighed in his heart.
"Doctor He comes with me."
Jiang Ning led the Ho Hongkang brothers into the house.
He Hongan glanced at Li Yun'er, whose face was bloodless, frowned, and stretched out his hand to begin to diagnose the pulse.
"Potentially curable?"
Jiang Ning clenched his fists tightly and stared at him expectantly.
He Hongan finally withdrew his hand, sighed, shook his head and said:
"If the time for treatment is earlier, maybe you can try it.
Only now, alas, I'm afraid there are only two days at most. ”
When Jiang Ning heard this, his body, which was already extremely weak because he had been beaten by the board and had not slept all night, suddenly could no longer support it.
"Poof!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
When He Hongan on the side saw it, he hurriedly helped him up and pricked him with a few acupuncture points with silver needles, which barely stabilized.
"My lord, listen to the official."
He Hongan hesitated and said: "According to Mrs. Zun's current situation, your lord should prepare for the future as soon as possible." ”
"Impossible! No, I won't let Yun'er leave my side! ”
Jiang Ning stood up, staggered to the side of the bed, and picked up Li Yun'er with difficulty.
"Yun'er, my husband will take you to find other Langzhong, we will definitely be able to cure it, we will definitely be able to."
The Ho brothers glanced at each other, each sighed and shook their heads.
"My lord, you are now frail, and it is inconvenient for you to carry Mrs. Zun so actively.
The carriage in the official's house, the adults will use it. ”
"Thank you, Doctor He."
Jiang Ning glanced at He Hongan gratefully, hugged Li Yun'er to the door, and the two got into the carriage.
The coachman had already received the order, took the whip and whipped it, and drove the carriage to another hospital.
And it just so happened that he didn't walk for a while before he bumped into the team that came to summon him into the palace.
"My lord, the road ahead is clearing, and it seems to be a chariot and horse in the palace."
"Leave him alone, just rush over."
Jiang Ning only has Li Yun'er in his heart at this time, where can he manage so much.
When the coachman heard this, he had no choice but to drive forward.
"Bold! The carriages and horses in the palace are here, who dares to go on a rampage! ”
When the guards on the left and right saw the galloping carriage, they immediately shouted.
"This official Jiang Ning, get out of the way for me!"
Jiang Ning lifted the curtain and poked his head out, shouting.
"It turned out to be Jiang Shiyu!"
When the internal official who was summoned for the first time saw Jiang Ning, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said:
"Jiang Shiyu, Your Majesty summoned you to the palace to play right, then you will step up, go with the villain."
It's just that no matter how loudly he shouted, Jiang Ning didn't hear it, and rushed straight forward in the carriage.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage was gone.
It took a long time for the internal official to come back to his senses, and he wanted to cry without tears.
When did he encounter this situation.
"Father-in-law, what should we do?"
"What should I do?"
Neiguan Yao pointed to the direction Jiang Ning left: "Chase, chase!" Hurry up and chase! ”
"Yes."
When the guards got the order, they quickly turned around and chased after them.
And this scene was clearly seen by many people on the street, and it immediately spread all over the world, leading to strange conversations.
After all, it is the first time that the Ming Dynasty has been in the country for many years.
Some good deeds followed, and they were even more moved when they learned that Jiang Ning had done such a feat in order to save his wife.
The news soon spread throughout the capital, and the neighborhood was discussing the matter.
There are admirers, and there are those who gloat.
And so on.
Because the coachman was on an errand under Doctor He, he knew a thing or two about the famous doctors in the city, and he drove the carriage to several medical centers one after another.
But to Jiang Ning's despair, everyone was helpless.
Disheartened, he came out of the last hospital and was ready to go home.
He didn't want Li Yun'er to suffer such bumps again, and was ready to spend the last two days with her.
At this time, the internal official followed up again, and begged bitterly:
"Jiang waiting, it's good, and let's go into the palace with our family.
Your Majesty and the ministers have been waiting for a long time. ”
Jiang Ning glanced at him expressionlessly: "Go back by yourself, just tell Your Majesty that Jiang Ning is difficult to obey." ”
Yun'er is in danger, how can he still have the leisure to go to Raushzi's palace!
There is no greater mourning than death.
Let's not talk about Hongzhi's benevolence, will he be punished for his crimes.
Just said that if something really happened to Yun'er, he Jiang Ning himself would not have the heart to live.
"I'm tired that this brother has sent me and my wife home."
Jiang Ning hugged Li Yun'er and got into the carriage, looked at the coachman, and said with difficulty.
"Sit tight, sitting."
The coachman nodded his head and drove the carriage away steadily.
The internal official looked at this scene in amazement, only to feel that the sky was thunderbolt.
"That's it, let's go back to the palace and resume our lives."
By the time the team returned to the Forbidden City, Hongzhi had already gone down to the early court and discussed political affairs with several ministers in the imperial study.
The internal official walked in with a sad face, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the slave deserves death!" ”
"Where does sin come from? Didn't I ask you to summon Jiang to read, but what about others? ”
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are guilty of capital crimes, Jiang Shi reads, and he will not come to resist the order."
The internal official first kowtowed like pounding garlic for a while, and then immediately stated the matter.
"Slave and maid are guilty of death!"
Eventually, he slammed to the ground, not daring to lift it.
"Presumptuous! Darn! It just doesn't make sense! ”
Hongji slammed the table, stood up and shouted:
"What a Jiang Ning, don't you think I can condone him so far!"
"Your Majesty is angry!"
When several important ministers saw this, they hurriedly bowed to the ground.
Seeing that Hongzhi was extremely angry, Zhang Sheng took the opportunity to say:
"Your Majesty, Jiang Ning has no king, and he is not respectful of resisting the will, so he should be beheaded all over the house!
Otherwise, the law of the court and the majesty of His Majesty will be gone! ”
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, and it is reasonable to kill this fang as soon as possible to correct the atmosphere of the court!"
"The old minister seconded the proposal!"
Under the leadership of Xie Qian and Liu Jian, the ministers echoed one after another.
Except that Li Dongyang just bowed to the ground and didn't say a word.
To be honest, he didn't have much prejudice against Jiang Ning, but felt that he was a talent that could be created.
Just because Jiang Ning has the courage to face his relatives, it is not comparable to ordinary courtiers.
However, what everyone didn't notice was that Hongji's brows had slowly stretched out at this time.
It's just that there is still some anger on his face.
Because he saw so many courtiers threatening to cure Jiang Ning's crimes, he suddenly realized that he would need to rely on him to check and balance these sub-ministers in the future.
Otherwise, if you rely on Zhu Houzhao, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it alone.
This subtle change in expression was noticed by Miao Kui, who was standing aside, and he suddenly walked down and bowed:
"Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."
As a eunuch with real power in his hands, he is qualified to call himself a "minister".
And this also represents his official admonition to Hongji.
"Speak."
"Your Majesty, although Jiang Shiyu's sin is unforgivable, the reason is to save his bad wife, and he even did not hesitate to run all over the capital.
In this way, he should be called a benevolent and righteous gentleman. For the sake of his wife, he resisted the decree with his body, and he had the style of an ancient sage!
I also ask Your Majesty to open up and forgive Jiang for reading this time. ”
Miao Kui said, knelt down again.
"It's ridiculous!"
Zhang Sheng blew his beard and glared:
"If Jiangning can be called a benevolent and righteous gentleman, my Ming Dynasty will have no traitors since then, the court will be clear, and the world will be clear."
"Zhang Shangshu said this, isn't he saying that now that His Majesty is in power, the court is smoky and miasma, and the people are bored?"
Miao Kui sneered.
Zhang Sheng knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly bowed to Hongzhi and said: "The old minister lost his words, Your Majesty forgives you." ”
Hongzhi glanced at Miao Kui, a faint hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and said:
"Miao Qing is not unreasonable, if Jiang Ning abandons his wife and enters the palace to summon him, I am afraid that he will think about him again, he is a courtier who covets glory and wealth."
He sat back on the dragon chair and continued, "That's it, put this matter aside for the time being, and discuss it tomorrow." ”
Seeing this, the ministers had to bow in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”
