Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 209 The medicine attracts

  The news from the palace finally couldn't be suppressed.

  His Majesty's illness has aroused the concerns of the subjects.

  So, all kinds of memorials such as "How are you, Your Majesty" were sent into the palace like snowflakes.

   "It would be great if condolences could cure illnesses."

  Looking at the mountain of memorials, Liu Jian, who hadn't slept all night, sighed.

  With a stiff face, he couldn't help but said to Li Dongyang and Xie Qian who were kneeling on the left and right: "It's already at this time, and there are still people coming to make trouble. If your majesty is in good health, do you still need them to ask?"

   "..."

   Originally, I didn’t sleep all night, but I still need to cheer up during the day. I wanted to deal with some urgent ticket plans, but it turned out...

   "Hey..." Xie Qian said worriedly: "The Empress Dowager and Mrs. Zhang also stayed up all night, so I'm afraid..."

  The three of them sighed again.

  Actually... the three of them hide a terrible thing deep in their hearts and dare not reveal it.

  If this continues, what is the worst outcome...

  Although the current emperor is in his early thirties and in his prime of life, he can become ill from worry, and there are countless cases of his death.

   It's just these words, as a courtier, it is absolutely forbidden to discuss at this time.

   "His Royal Highness is asleep?" Liu Jian looked extremely sad. He and Emperor Hongzhi had a very deep friendship. This kind of emotion is also a monarch, a minister, and a friend, which is not comparable to ordinary people.

  It’s just that… as a cabinet minister, he must be more foresight than anyone else at any time.

  When Li Dongyang heard Liu Jian mentioned His Royal Highness, he exchanged glances with Xie Qian, and then he said: "In the early morning, I only took a nap for a while, then woke up again, saying that I would go out of the palace to Xishan to find Fang Jifan."

  Liu Jian tried his best to hold back the depression in his heart, took a deep breath, and said: "At this time, His Royal Highness must stay in the palace."

   As he said that, he lowered his head, as if wanting to hide something, he took a memorial and picked up a pen. In fact, his mind was already confused. What was written in the memorial was so chaotic in his mind that he had no way of knowing.

  Li Dongyang nodded his head, maybe... a bigger change should be dealt with.

  His Majesty has always been a filial person, but now even the Empress Dowager can’t make him sober, and Empress Zhang and His Majesty’s husband and wife are deeply in love, and they can’t make His Majesty sober, so...

   Li Dongyang was in a trance, but saw Xie Qian with his head down, covering his face with his big sleeves, as if wiping tears.

  Liu Jian lowered his head with a livid face, as if he also noticed Xie Qian's gaffe, and said, "Yu Qiao..."

   Yu Qiao is Xie Qian's character.

"At this time, you are a cabinet scholar, and you are favored by the emperor. At this time, you should share your majesty's worries and stabilize the court and the public. How many pairs of eyes are looking at your majesty, and you are also looking at you and me. Please restrain yourself, the sky is falling, At that time, someone still needs to stand up, the prince... is still in Xiaochong, he can't stand up, he needs to be supported by us, don't be emotional, there is a military situation in Guizhou, you go and check it out. Binzhi..."

  Li Dongyang took a deep breath: "Yes."

Liu Jian still lowered his head, held his pen, and paused for a while, saying: "Recently, the disasters in various places, especially the northern provinces, can be rescued. It depends on how much food Jiangnan has put into storage this year. We must be prepared for contingencies. Don't take it lightly. The next note is to the Nanjing Garrison. This year's tax and food must be delivered in full. There is a little news that this year, the chief ministers of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River will also have transshipment envoys. If it is the same as in previous years Normally, if they dare to delay such a major event, they should take off their black hats and be punished."

  Li Dongyang nodded.

Liu Jian suddenly thought of something again, and continued: "I will invite Liu Daxia, the official secretary of the Ministry of War, to come later. In an emergency, it is even more important to be prepared. Liu Daxia is familiar with the nine borders and horses. Strengthening border affairs has become a reality. The most urgent thing is to let him immediately write a charter and come to see the old man with the charter."

  Perhaps influenced by Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian both cheered up and started to get busy.

  After Liu Jian finished speaking, he picked up the pen and began to draw up the ticket, but when he wrote each stroke, his hands could not help shaking slightly. He tried his best to write each word, but then remembered something, and said: "Binzhi..."

  But found that at some point, he was the only one left in the public house, and everyone was already busy.

  Looking at the empty public house, Liu Jian's throat seemed to be blocked, and he finally couldn't help crying in a low voice, tears spilled all over the front of his clothes.

  ………

   "Why don't you let me go out?"

  Zhu Houzhao yelled angrily, like an ant on a hot pan.

  In this side hall of the Nuan Pavilion, the Empress Dowager had already gone to accompany Emperor Hongzhi, so Empress Zhang led her pair of children to rest in this side hall.

  But although Zhu Houzhao stayed up almost all night, he was very emotional.

  It's already noon, why hasn't Fang Jifan come yet?

   Didn’t he say there is a way?

  Since there is a way, it’s so powerful, why hasn’t it come yet?

  The longer he waited, the more impatient he became, and he wished to see Fang Jifan immediately, so he wanted to go to Xishan to remind him.

  But Queen Zhang banned her feet.

  He had nothing to do, so he returned to Queen Zhang: "Mother..."

Queen Zhang's eyes were red, and she said quietly: "Don't make trouble, be quiet, aren't all the imperial physicians here? This time, Imperial Physician Huang from the imperial hospital came out in person. He is best at treating heart diseases. What he said It makes sense, heart disease also needs to be treated with medicine. If a person is depressed, the veins will not be cleared, and if the veins are blocked, it will easily lead to many terrible consequences. Therefore, as long as you take his medicine and dredge the veins, the disease will also be cured. It will be relieved."

"Quack doctor!" Zhu Houzhao scolded very directly, and then said: "Everything is to take medicine, if the father can take medicine, what else do they need to do? If the father is full, won't all illnesses be cured? "

   "..."

   "Brother, if you don't talk less, the queen mother will feel very uncomfortable."

  Zhu Houzhao stared at the girl who was snuggling next to the queen mother, and wanted to jump. Suddenly, he came up with a terrible thought, why does the girl look like the father and the queen?

  So, he also became depressed, and said with his hands behind his back: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, I won't say anything..." He slowly raised his head, looked at the beam, and felt extremely anxious in his heart.

  But at this time.

  An **** hurried in from outside and said, "Fang Jifan has an audience, Fang Jifan has an audience outside the Meridian Gate..."

  Zhu Houzhao heard this, and rushed out, but behind the eunuch, Fang Jifan was running over, panting!

  Zhu Houzhao just stopped and said anxiously: "Why are you here so late!"

   "Delayed, delayed." Fang Jifan pretended to die.

  Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Old Fang, let's go, I will take you there..."

  Fang Jifan grabbed him: "Your Highness, if you are waiting outside and want to save someone, no one in the warm pavilion is allowed to be present."

  Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan in puzzlement: "...!"

   "I'm going to see the empress first." Fang Jifan felt that there was no way to communicate with Zhu Houzhao. At first glance, he didn't understand, but now he was in a hurry and couldn't be delayed.

So he went straight into the side hall, and for some reason, although he felt that the sky was about to fall, but at first sight, he was still attracted by Princess Taikang. It will come in loudly.

  Fang Jifan bowed to Empress Zhang and said, "I've seen your mother."

  Queen Zhang stared at Fang Jifan: "Zhang Qing's family has worked hard."

   "I want to try to cure His Majesty of this heart disease..."

...

  Empress Zhang said in embarrassment: "Then the doctor Huang said that in order to prevent His Majesty from aggravating his condition, it is better not to..."

  Peers are enemies...

  Why do these words sound familiar, as if I have said this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...

  Your uncle, I, Fang Jifan, ran to Xishan and tossed and tossed all night. Now I am still hungry and haven’t slept. What the **** is this doctor Huang? Is it itchy?

  Fang Jifan took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Just listening to what he said, I can conclude that this person is a quack doctor."

  Empress Zhang seemed hesitant, but Imperial Doctor Huang looked more reliable with white beard and hair.

  Of course, Fang Jifan is not unreliable, but...

  Fang Jifan didn't want to continue going around in circles anymore, so he said: "Mother, this person with a serious heart disease must have something as a medicine guide, and the minister... has brought the medicine guide."

   "What medicine is cited?"

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "I can't say it."

  Empress Zhang bit her lip, and her psychological balance began to shift to Fang Jifan's side. She was a protector, and she felt that Fang Jifan was more pleasing to the eye.

So Fang Jifan took out his trump card: "Even if you let your Majesty see the minister, it will not affect the condition. Under normal circumstances, as long as there is no one who is particularly obtrusive, the condition of a person with heart disease will not be aggravated." .”

   "..." Standing aside, Zhu Houzhao held back his face.

  Well, this makes sense, but why... it sounds weird...

  Empress Zhang took a deep breath, and said decisively: "Okay, what, you go and try it, come here, and lead Jifan to go."

   Before entering the warm pavilion, Fang Jifan hesitated and took a deep breath.

   Can this really save the emperor...?

  My method must be effective?

  Okay, it’s about this time, whatever, let’s fight.

  Fang Jifan is a brain-dead man!

  A man with a mentally retarded will not have bad luck.

  He made up his mind and stepped into the Snapper.

  The empress dowager has been supported by others to rest.

  Only a few imperial doctors and eunuchs were still busy here. They raised their eyes and looked at Fang Jifan, their expressions were a bit unpleasant, as if they were not particularly welcome to this unexpected visitor.

   At this time, the emperor seemed to be exhausted to the extreme, and he had already rested on a small couch behind the screen.

  One of the imperial doctors got up, and wanted to say that it has nothing to do with others, so don't delay the treatment here.

   But who would have expected that before he could speak, Fang Jifan said, "Go out, everyone, don't get in the way!"

   "..." The imperial doctor was immediately angry, his face flushed in an instant, and he couldn't help but said righteously: "I am the imperial doctor Huang Zhongbing, who are you?"

  This doctor Huang seems to feel that his reputation as a miracle doctor is famous all over the world, and as long as he reports his name, it is enough to scare away such irrelevant people.

  Fang Jifan raised his eyelids: "My name is Fang Jifan, my father Fang Jinglong..."

   "..."

  ...

  Sorry, it's late. I spent a lot of time in the hospital in the morning, and I went home to work immediately. I hope everyone understands!
