Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 874
Kong Youhua, a genius doctor in the capital, has a great reputation, and he has refused to be recruited by the Imperial Hospital several times, and voluntarily practiced medicine among the people. Such actions have made his reputation even bigger.

In fact, this Kong Youhua is not found by ordinary people in the folk, only those rich and nobles can afford it. The Empress Dowager Cisheng and Empress Dowager Rensheng in the palace also invited Kong Youhua into the palace when they were not feeling well. The genius doctor has a great reputation, and when he says a word, he is even more authoritative than the director of the Imperial Hospital.

With Wang Tong's status, it would be no problem to ask him for diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, after this genius doctor came, he really gave a different opinion from others. He had to let Wang Tong go to a cold place to recuperate in order to get rid of his poison.

This method of diagnosis and treatment sounds mysterious and mysterious, but others believe it after listening to it. A genius doctor must have such a mysterious method. Moreover, so many famous doctors have seen it and can’t give an opinion. This one gave a different one. Think about it It is capable.

There are not many bitter cold places that Daming can go to. In the past, he could only go to a few brick forts in Liao Town, but now it is different. With places like Guihua City, this must be a bitter cold place.

Moreover, the genius doctor also said that Wang Tong returned to the north from the south, and his physical condition gradually improved. Of course, there were reasons for medicinal materials and recuperation, and cold and heat were also the key, which showed his level even more.

After rewarding the genius doctor with a lot of money, Song Chanchan entered Wang Tong's ward unlike before, and the others were sent out. Wang Tong was still very weak. Song Chanchan sat by the bed and said:
"Kong Youhua has been testing medicine on the slaves at home, and many things have happened. This time, the concubine arranged for someone to help him cover it up, so I have this diagnosis."

Wang Tong leaned on the bed and said slowly:
"Kong Youhua's sons are all sent to serve in the Tianjin Guards. After these things are over, let them go and stay, so as not to make any mistakes on Kong Youhua's side."

Song Chanchan nodded in agreement, then stood up and brought a bowl of soup to Wang Tong from the low table on one side, and said in a low voice:
"My concubine has inquired a lot of news from various places these days. The official scholars in the capital are now staring at the new prince, waiting to see His Majesty's arrangement. Someone has already connected in series below, and they are preparing to join forces. I ask the world to make Zhu Changluo the crown prince."

There was a sneer on Wang Tong's face, Song Chanchan hesitated, and said again:
"The concubine still has some news, but I can't say for sure, because the people talking over there are also careful, and I only heard some vague rumors, saying that there are people in the palace who have thoughts about the prince."

"The Empress Dowager Cisheng naturally has an idea. Concubine Gong is a person who goes out of the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Concubine Gong's child is naturally the Empress Dowager's favorite."

Wang Tong said something in a cold voice, Song Chanchan shook her head, and lowered her voice a bit:

"No, it's said to be from the inner court."

Wang Tong frowned, stared at Song Chanchan, then narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a while before asking:

"When you inquired about this information, did you ever alert the Secretary of Justice and other yamen?"

"Please don't worry, master, these inquiries are all the eyes and ears of my own family, and have nothing to do with the officials."

Wang Tong nodded slowly, and Song Chanchan asked there:

"Should the news be sent to Jin Yiwei?"

Wang Tong didn't respond, and remained silent for a long time, but he didn't answer the question, he just asked:
"Is there anyone you can trust?"

"There are a few people who have received the great favor of the concubine, and the concubine can take this life."

Song Chanchan replied solemnly, "Wang Tong tried the soup hot and cold, and then took a few sips. The soup contains a lot of tonic ingredients, so he shouldn't drink too much, or his body will change, so he handed over the leftover bowl of medicine to him." To Song Chanchan, Wang Tong said slowly:
"The prince and the establishment of the crown prince are important affairs of the heavenly family. It is not easy for us as courtiers to participate, but if the people below are tossing about the establishment of the crown prince and the establishment of the chief, we can't take care of it. After all, the sages are righteous and always have persistence."

Hearing the slow words, Song Chanchan didn't react at first, looked at Wang Tong's face suspiciously, thinking about what Wang Tong said just now, her body trembled, her face turned pale quickly, and then she returned to normal, and then said :
"What is the concubine going to do?"

"We can do whatever we can. We have so much money in our family. If we don't take it with us, we spend it."

Song Chanchan stood up from her seat and solemnly said all blessings. Wang Tong propped herself up from the bed and stretched out her hand to wave to Song Chanchan. Even though they are already husband and wife, they have shared the same bed, but in the daytime, both of them still respect each other as guests, Wang Tong seldom does such an intimate act.

Being held in Wang Tong's arms, Song Chanchan's whole body became stiff. Wang Tong patted Song Chanchan's back with his hand and said in a low voice:
"This time I went to naturalize to recuperate from illness. The women's family left you in the capital and asked you to preside over so many dangerous things. It is really wronged and hard for you, but the two of them didn't have this kind of scheming. I left too many traces. For the sake of our family In the future, it can only

At this time, Song Chanchan also recovered from her astonishment, and said softly in Wang Tong's arms:
"With my husband's words, I know what to do."

***********
Wang Tong returned to the capital, and after being summoned by Emperor Wanli, the Imperial Horse Supervisor in the palace immediately sent people to the south of the Yangtze River. Wang Tong passed by along the way. There were many wealthy families who broke their homes, and a large number of fields became ownerless. They bought them. Regardless of whether it is Huangzhuang or public land, it is beneficial to the court and Ming Dynasty.

However, according to the news Wang Tong received in Tianjin Wei, those unowned fields from Jiangnan have now been divided up, and Sanjiang Trading Company has also eaten a lot. At this time, the people sent by the palace to Jiangnan can only know those Unfavorable news about the Xu Jie family.

Several of Song Chanchan's cronies are not from Wang Tong's system, but have existed since they were in Qin Guan, and now they all live in places that are out of bounds with Wang Tong's mansion and Qin Guan.

One of them met Wang Tong's personal soldiers somewhere in the capital, and was led by the personal soldiers to a house. The house was an unowned land, but there was a large amount of gold and silver hidden in the house.

When Wang Tong came from Tianjin Wei to the capital, he brought a huge amount of wealth. This wealth is hidden in various safe places in the capital, which can be used.

Although the motion and idea of ​​asking the Wanli emperor to appoint his eldest son Zhu Changluo as the crown prince has been circulated among officials and scholars, it has not formed a trend. The prince Zhu Changxun of Concubine Zheng is not yet full moon, and the current child is less than a hundred days old, and he cannot even be a prince. Looking at it as an adult, it is impossible to judge whether it will die young or not. At this time, it is hard to say whether there will be any results if you rashly go to college at this time, and the possibility of causing trouble for yourself is very high.

But the atmosphere in the capital is not quite right anymore. There is actually a censor and the Ministry of Impeachment and Punishment, who uncovered several previous cases. They are nothing more than the distribution of family property. Regarding the lawsuit, it is said that the eldest son should get a large number, and should not be awarded to the most favored child, etc.

Wang Tong has also read this case file. One of them is that the eldest son and daughter-in-law are not filial. They do not support the elderly at all. , the old man hid some gold in his hands and gave it to the youngest son, and then the eldest son found out that he went to the government to make a big case. What's wrong with money.

But now they are exposed by the officials, talking about the principles of heaven and human desires, the words of sages, saying that such judgments are against human ethics, etc. Anyone with a discerning eye knows what they are referring to and what they intend to do.

*************
"This hot pot method is also available in the former palace, but it is not as delicious as the one you made. Today I chose some warming ingredients. You should also try it."

Ordinary courtiers do not enjoy such treatment, not even Shen Shixing, the chief minister of the cabinet. In mid-November, Emperor Wanli hosted a banquet for Wang Tong in the side hall of Qianqing Palace. The capital was already quite cold at this time. In the soup pot, slices of various seasonal delicacies are prepared, and the hall is filled with fragrance.

"The doctor said that the minister's body should be less meaty, and the minister should eat some vegetarian dishes."

Wang Tong looked more and more haggard and weak, and he couldn't sit up straight in the chair. Emperor Wanli gave him a concerned look, and asked again:
"What do those wastes in Tai Hospital say?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Supreme Hospital and Kong Youhua made a judgment, saying that it is effective for the minister to recuperate in a bitter cold place, and it is not suitable for the capital to be warm in the spring. Besides, His Majesty asked the minister to manage Guihua City in terms of duty. I want to go over and take care of the management for His Majesty, and sort out the rules."

Emperor Wanli frowned, and said solemnly:

"I can't do without you here, Jinyiwei depends on you to help take care of it, look at the memorandums of the past few days, saying that the punishment of the Ministry of punishment is unfair, do you think I'm a fool, I can't see their insinuations, these things have to be done Come help me down."

"Your Majesty, each department of Jinyiwei has its own system, and His Majesty can operate efficiently through the direct management of internal officials. As for these memorials, Your Majesty, I have an idea, and those court officials know that they are all applauded by the people. Now the officials Talking about great truths is just arguing, Your Majesty might as well let the theater turn these cases into dramas and perform them directly, and the people's likes and dislikes will naturally be reversed!"

"Okay, that's a good idea of ​​yours. Let the theater put out plays. They don't like to hear those big truths. This play is popular all over the world!!"

Emperor Wanli looked excited, and patted the table there. Wang Tong coughed again. He wanted to pick up the cup to drink water and press it, but he couldn't do it completely. Emperor Wanli sighed, shook his head and said:
"Wang Tong, I have suffered so much for you. You have suffered so many crimes for doing business for me. Let's go to Guihua City to rest and rectify there."
