Idle courtiers

Chapter 504 Prepare for the funeral (recommendation ticket requested)

Zhou Nan: "The first assistant has the style of ancient benevolence."

Xu Jie went on to say: "No one instigated Ke Dao's attack on the palace ban. From the beginning to the end, Gong Qing was alone in connection."

Zhou Nan: "Is there really no one to instigate?"

Xu Jie nodded, and said slowly: "Looking at the current situation, the only ones who can enter the East Palace are King Yu and King Jing, and it is the most unfavorable for the two of them to make a decision on the Ke Dao. As for the third party , the old man can't see who else can compete with the two palaces."

That's right, Xu Jie was talking about the essence.

Yes, the two palaces are fighting for the crown prince, but they can't take such drastic measures!
Who is Jiajing? Among the kings of the Ming Dynasty, he was famously stubborn and suspicious.

If the troubles in Ke Dao were instigated by the two princes, this is already a disguised form of coercion and coercion. "I'm not dead yet, and you all covet the throne. Why, do you want to rebel?" What good will happen to the main envoy?

No matter how stupid the people on both sides are, they can't be so stupid.

"So, it's really all done by Gong Qing alone." Zhou Nan shook her head, what did Master Gong do, and finally committed suicide in public, isn't this a lunatic?
"Yes." Xu Jie said: "Students, who doesn't want to shine in the annals of history, Gong Qing has become famous since he seized Yan Fenyi's silver ship... He is too impulsive. The affairs of the court are not as simple as he imagined."

Speaking of this, Xu Shoufu's face was sad.

Zhou Nan understood the meaning of Xu Jie's words. Gong Qing, as a political star in Kedao, was so focused on gaining fame that she had become crazy.He was probably thinking that the fact that the emperor did not establish a prince was too absurd, and he was dissatisfied, so he connected all the officials to make trouble.

In the end, Lao Gong fell into the role and couldn't extricate himself, so he died to show his ambition.

This is the long-term acting will be crazy!

Zhou Nan and Xu Jie are both absolute interests first, so they naturally cannot understand the feelings of scholars like Gong Qing who take the world as their own responsibility, and they only think that he is a lunatic.

However, a good acquaintance said that if it was gone, it would be gone, and the two were still a little sad.

Xu Jie sighed: "This old man intends to report to the imperial court to pay compensation to the Gong family."

Zhou Nan: "By the way, doesn't Gong Yushi still have a son, why not give him an official position."

Xu Jie: "Yes, it should be!" Gong Qing had made great contributions to the Xu family in terms of Yan Yan at the beginning, if he didn't show something, it would be emotionally unjustifiable.

Zhou Nan: "What is Kedao's next plan?"

Xu Jie: "What else can I do? Qingliu and the others are naturally unwilling to give up. When His Majesty's dragon body is better, it is estimated that they will go to the sparse again."

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, old Xu felt a lot of pressure.

Xu Jie: "What's wrong with Long Live's Long Body now?" Having said that, Xu Shoufu looked at Zhou Nan with bright eyes.

After the emperor vomited blood that day, the court was in turmoil, and everyone wanted to know how long the emperor could live.

Now, the emperor doesn't see any of his foreign ministers, and there are only Zhou Nan and Huang Jin accompanying him. Only these two people hold the top secret of the empire.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is estimated to be useless. It will happen sooner or later, but I don't know when."

"What, Your Majesty!" Xu Jie's eyes turned red, and tears fell down.

Zhou Nan comforted Xu Jie for a long time, and managed to stop Xu Jie from mourning, and said again: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, the way of heaven, and cannot be countered by human power. The chief assistant, just the day before yesterday, heard His Majesty's tone seems to be against the Chu matter. Loosened a bit."

Xu Jie was shocked: "What is your majesty's intention, please explain the situation carefully."

Zhou Nan didn't hide anything, so he explained in detail what happened the day before yesterday.

Xu Jie pondered for a long time, and said: "Zimu seems to have a prejudice against King Yu, and you are more inclined to King Jing in your situation. I heard that you have set up a chamber of commerce in Yangzhou, and Prince Yu's Mansion also has shares. I am very puzzled."

"Shoufu, in fact, I am also responsible for the death of Prince Huaide." Zhou Nan did not hide anything, and said it again.

Xu Jie: "It turns out that there are so many twists and turns, we really can't support King Yu, hey!" He sighed and waved his hand: "Zimu, don't blame yourself, things in the world can't be as you wish. After all, King Yu is only four years old, and his master and ministers are suspicious, it is not a blessing for the country, and it is not a good thing for us ministers."

This sentence reassured Zhou Nan, and from then on, Xu Men put the treasure on King Jing's head.

Indeed, both politically and jurisprudentially, King Jing is the first successor, which is also in line with Confucian ethics.

Isn't it absurd that the throne is not passed on to the son but to the grandson?

Xu Jie: "Zimu, you came just in time, but I met Mr. Li Dongbi."

Zhou Nan was clear in his heart, Xu Jie was asking himself to tell Li Shizhen about the emperor's condition, so as to determine how long Jiajing could live, and to deal with it early.

After a while, a thin and dark-skinned old man walked into the study and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu Ge, this is your grandson-in-law Tanhualang Zhou Zimu."

Although this man is dark and thin, he looks radiant, and he walks suddenly and suddenly, no need to ask, it is Li Shizhen, a famous doctor.

Zhou Nan hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands to salute: "It's Zhou Nan who has seen Imperial Doctor Li."

Li Shizhen stretched out Zhou Nan's pulse, and said with a smile: "What kind of imperial doctor, you are no longer. Judging from your pulse, it should be that you are overthinking, your internal fire is strong, and you don't need to take medicine. Just buy a basket Eat one pear a day, and it will be good if you eat it for a month. In addition, you should not drink too much tea and ensure enough sleep. Women are women, and wealth and thrift are up to others. Husband and wife squatting together, ten or so times a month is enough. over."

Zhou Nan couldn't help laughing, but Li Shizhen was a witty person here, and said, "Mr. Dongbi, I didn't ask you to see a doctor."

Li Shizhen: "I'm just a doctor, why don't you ask me to see a doctor?"

Xu Jie scolded with a smile: "You quack doctor, you are eating old men and drinking old men these days, and you are teasing my grandson-in-law. You are really right. I invite you to come here to see a doctor. However, the patient is not here, so it is not convenient to call you." See."

It can be seen that the two have a very good personal relationship.

Zhou Nan didn't know that when Xu Jie reported to Jiajing that there was an imperial physician plotting to do something wrong, the emperor was furious and three slaughtered the imperial hospital.At that time, Li Shizhen was working as an official in the imperial hospital. Xu Jie admired his character and medical skills, so he deliberately kept him.

It was at that time that Li Shizhen resigned as an imperial physician and traveled around the world to collect medicines and compile "Compendium of Materia Medica".

This time he came to Yanshan to collect herbs, and after running out of money, he went to old man Xu to eat.

Li Shizhen was displeased: "But a woman? It's okay, the old man can diagnose the pulse with a silk thread. Although there are some discrepancies, there are still [-]% sure. Moreover, the doctor's parents think that the patient is a patient in the eyes of the old man, and there is no difference between men and women. Besides, seeing a doctor Treatment is nothing more than the four methods of seeing, hearing, asking, and cutting. How can I prescribe prescriptions before the person arrives, after all, it is a mountain away."

Zhou Nan: "Physician Li is right. However, although you can't see, smell, or touch, you can ask! I'm really sorry, it's really inconvenient for the patient to meet with the husband."

Li Shizhen: "Okay, let's talk about the condition of that patient."

Zhou Nan roughly told Li Shizhen about the situation in Jiajing.

Li Shizhen listened carefully and interrupted him several times to ask for details.

"The skin is loose and weak, with red and blue spots, and when you press it with your hand, it will be a pit..."

"The cough...it doesn't look like a cold, nor is it edema caused by famine. If you guessed right, it should be erysipelas."

Zhou Nan: "Indeed, this person has been cultivating the Tao all the year round."

……

"What, your body is hot, your armpits are sweaty, and your mind is drowsy?" Li Shizhen frowned.

Zhou Nan nodded: "Exactly."

Li Shizhen: "There is no need to prescribe."

Xu Jie: "Also ask for advice."

Li Shizhen: "Let's prepare for the funeral, that is, it will take three to five days, and it will not be delayed for ten days at the latest."

……

After Li Shizhen left, Zhou and Xu in the study did not speak.

The air seemed to freeze.

After a long time, Xu Jie cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you like this? The crime of the old minister is the crime of the veteran!"

Zhou Nan didn't take it seriously, Jiajing himself was dependent on drugs, and taking the elixir to poison himself to death has nothing to do with you.To be honest, Jiajing is really hard to get close to. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with our grandparents.

I think so, but political correctness cannot be lost. Zhou Nan comforted him a few words before saying: "Shoufu, the situation is already like this, you and I have to change according to the situation, the state affairs are important."

Only then did Xu Jie calm down: "Zimu is right, as the chief assistant of the cabinet, the old man can't mess up his position first, so what do you think?"

Zhou Nan: "I also ask the first assistant to fix it." He was also a little flustered.

Yes, our Master Zhou is indeed very intelligent and capable, but since he entered the officialdom, all he has done is to be a staff secretary. His vision is broad, but he has not coordinated the overall situation.Encountering such an earth-shattering event, I was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Xu Jie thought for a while: "Where did King Jing go now?"

Zhou Nan: "I don't know."

"Can I get in touch with him?"

"You can try."

Xu Jie: "Bring a letter to King Jing, asking him to arrive in the capital within three days." According to Li Shizhen, Jiajing Dayue still has three to five days, and the longest delay cannot be ten days.The enemy is expected to be lenient, and the time must be pinched.

After talking about this, he went on to say: "There are two other things to do. One, when the time comes, we must control the ban as soon as possible, and the factory guards have to catch it. Grab the factory guards, and then we can take the initiative. As for Xishan and Wanping's garrison doesn't matter, it's easy to fight for; second, you go back to Xiyuan immediately, and if you have anything to do, immediately bring a letter."

Zhou Nan: "How does the factory guard fight for it?" Are you kidding me? Last time, Chen Hong and Zhu Xizhong almost put you in prison.

Xu Jie: "The old man has his own considerations, so you don't have to worry."

Zhou Nan: "I am with His Majesty, if something happens, how can I bring the news out?"

Xu Jie: "It's not easy. In the past few days, the old man will be on duty in Xiyuan. If you have something to do, you can report it immediately. As for when I'm not around, you can find Wenjiang."

Zhou Nan: "Wenjiang?"

Xu Jie pulled out the drawer and wrote quickly in a report, saying as he wrote: "After the Fourth Brother Jin case, Shi Xiancheng resigned from his official position and has been waiting for election at home. room walk."
