Chapter 719 After killing two emperors, he lived a peaceful life! Liu Bang: If you really say he did it on purpose, I don't believe it!
"If even the Imperial Hospital is unreliable, then wouldn't the entire royal family be in danger?"

"I just want to know how he managed to kill two emperors without getting into any trouble!"

"Maybe his ancestors are looking for connections underground."

Han Dynasty plane.

Emperor Wu of Han sat alone in front of his desk, unable to calm down for a long time.

The world is so big, and yet there are such absurd things!
If the imperial physicians are so incompetent, what should I do when I get sick in the future?
Do I have to go to the countryside to find a doctor?
But how can that be decent!
Could it be... that someone in the court is secretly interfering?
Or is it that Liu Wentai has some other outstanding qualities?
Outrageous, too outrageous!
[There is an interesting story about the origin of this Imperial Physician Liu.]

[Oddly enough, he wasn’t originally a medical student.]

【Instead, he was an official working in the Tongzhengsi. 】

【The Tongzhengsi was an extremely important institution in the Ming Dynasty.】

[It is responsible for delivering imperial edicts and memorials from local officials.]

[It can be said to be an important link between the imperial court and the local areas. ]

【Liu Wentai originally did a good job in this position.】

[As a fourth-rank official, his position is quite good. ]

【But for some reason, he suddenly changed his career. 】

[It is probably because the treatment at the Imperial Hospital is so good.]

【Thus, this Mr. Liu during the Chenghua period transformed himself.】

[From an official of the Ministry of Public Administration to an imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital.]

[As for his performance in the Imperial Hospital, there is not much record in historical materials.]

【But soon, something big happened. 】

【The wrong medicine was used, and Emperor Xianzong died. 】

[The word “乖” means “wrong” in ancient Chinese.]

[In other words, he used the wrong prescription, which led to the death of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty! ]

[According to normal human logic, after what happened, this Imperial Doctor Liu would definitely not survive.]

[In all dynasties, the most severe punishment has always been imposed on the imperial physician who killed the emperor. ]

[Even if the entire clan is not implicated, at least they must be put to death by slow slicing.]

【But this Imperial Doctor Liu is different.】

【After the new emperor Zhu Youtang ascended the throne, the only punishment for him was a demotion. 】

[Demoted from the fourth-rank Imperial Hospital Director to the fifth-rank Imperial Hospital Judge.]

[He killed an emperor and was demoted to a lower rank. He was even allowed to continue serving as an official there! ]

[It's so ridiculous that it's just a formality. It's fine as long as it has that meaning.]

Ming Dynasty plane.

After reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"This Zhu Jianshen is the one called Men Tianzi, right?"

Zhu Biao on the side nodded slightly.

"Father is right. Emperor Xianzong does have this title."

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table.

"Okay, okay, this father and son are really more powerful than each other!"

Zhu Biao responded cautiously.

"Father, please calm down. Perhaps there is something else going on."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

"What's the secret?"

"An emperor who doesn't even know whether his own imperial physician can practice medicine, it would be a waste of the country if he were to hand it over to him!"

"This kid Zhu Youtang is even more of a good-for-nothing."

"My father was killed by the imperial physician."

"Not only did he not pursue the matter, he just let it go."

"Isn't this a deliberate attempt to undermine the government?"

Seeing this, Zhu Biao didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhu Yuanzhang's rage grew even greater.

"If Liu Wentai were in my era."

"It has already been chopped into meat paste!"

"Demotion? I'll just make you extinct!"

Zhu Biao watched his father getting angrier and angrier as he spoke.

But he didn't dare to dissuade him.

After all, this is indeed against common sense.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor.

Naturally, I was extremely angry about this absurd thing.

This is certainly not just a problem of a mediocre doctor, but a matter of dignity, order and safety for the entire dynasty.

Just imagine, if the cost of killing an emperor is so simple, then there is nothing else that one would not dare to do.

Just kill him and that's it. At most you'll be demoted or have to pay some money. It's no big deal!
[But then again, some people may think that Liu Wentai cannot be blamed entirely for this incident.]

[After all, Zhu Jianshen was addicted to elixirs in his later years. ]

[He spends all day seeking the secret of immortality.] [In this situation, even gods can't save him.]

【And Liu Wentai was not without achievements. 】

【He is the compiler of "Essentials of Materia Medica Collection". 】

[It is said that Li Shizhen was inspired by this book.]

【He then wrote the masterpiece "Compendium of Materia Medica". 】

[Let’s not talk about whether Liu Wentai inspired Li Shizhen or not, the relationship between these two books has always been controversial.]

[Let’s just talk about the compilation process of this book “Essentials of Materia Medica Collection”. 】

[It’s enough to make people laugh and cry. ]

[The so-called editor-in-chief Liu Wentai.]

[In fact, he is just a nominal chief editor.]

[The specific content was completed by others.]

【So this book says it was written by Liu Wentai.】

【Not written by Liu Wentai. 】

[These two words seem similar.]

【In fact, there is a world of difference. 】

【What’s even more interesting is. 】

【When Liu Wentai saw the medical books of the previous dynasty. 】

[My first reaction was a look of bewilderment.]

[This is not at all what a royal physician should be capable of.]

【From this perspective. 】

【Zhu Jianshen used this imperial physician to treat himself. 】

[It's not an unjust death. 】

Seeing this, the ancients from all dimensions also called it outrageous.

"How can a royal doctor who can't even read medical books be a royal doctor?"

"No wonder Zhu Jianshen was cured to death. With a doctor of this caliber, it would be hard for him to even treat a cold."

"From this point of view, Zhu Jianshen is really stupid. He keeps such a mediocre doctor by his side. Isn't that courting death?"

After all, an emperor can't even choose his own imperial physician.

Such an ending seems reasonable.

[The time came to the eighteenth year of the Hongzhi reign, which was 1505 AD. ]

[In April of this year, Zhu Youtang fell ill.]

[At first, it seemed like just a minor illness.]

[Zhu Youtang even asked the eunuch to pass on his order, saying that he was just feeling a little unwell and would not attend the morning court for the next few days.]

[After all, it is the season of transition, and it is normal to catch a cold and have a fever. 】

[The ministers in the court did not take it too seriously.]

【But within a few days, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. 】

[Zhu Youtang's condition deteriorated rapidly. He hurriedly summoned his ministers, made a will, and then died.]

[This sudden change caught everyone off guard. ]

[The court immediately launched an investigation.]

【turn out.】

[This time, Liu Wentai gave the emperor the wrong medicine. ]

[This time, several imperial doctors involved, including Liu Wentai, were sentenced to death.]

[The situation was already a dead end, but things took a turn for the better! ]

[Two ministers, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, who later received the title of Wen Zheng, came forward and argued with reason.]

[In the end, Liu Wentai was spared the death penalty again, but was exiled to Guangxi.]

[He lived there for many more years.]

【Finally live out your life in peace! 】

Han Dynasty plane.

Liu Bang sat in front of the imperial desk and expressed great doubts about this.

It is understandable that he could use his connections to get a good job in the Imperial Medical Service.

But what about the other imperial physicians?

Such a big Royal Hospital.

Is it impossible to find a decent doctor?

Even the emperor’s serious illness could not be cured.

In the end, the emperor was killed.

The death of an emperor could perhaps be considered a mistake.

But two emperors died in succession.

This cannot but make people think deeply.
