Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Chapter 546: The emperor finally strikes after the disease plagues the prime minister

It is the coldest month of winter, and the nights are long and the days are short.

Li Yanwen came with several medical school researchers. When they entered the room, they were shocked to see Jia Jun dying on the bed: "Master Jia, what's going on?"

Although Jia Jun's condition is very serious, penicillin has effectively prevented the spread of head carbuncle. Just add some medicine and carefully treat the cold, and Jia Jun will be cured.

Li Yanwen just went back to report the results of penicillin to Lin Yunyi, and at the same time, they worked out the next treatment plan for Jia Jun. He rushed back again and didn't expect Jia Jun's condition to plummet.

A person whose condition had obviously improved, but in such a short time, the whole person has become emaciated.

Jia Xiong had been busy taking care of his father just now, and now he also realized that this matter was strange. At this moment, he looked at his housekeeper in confusion.

"Didn't your Jia family give medicine to Jia Ge Lao?" A middle-aged doctor beside Li Yanwen looked at the housekeeper's hesitant appearance and immediately doubted.

The housekeeper was shocked and shook his head like a drum, saying, "No, how could I not prescribe medicine for the master? The master's medicine was personally fed by Madam Ru!"

"When I left, my father was still fine. What happened?" Jia Xiong saw a clue from the housekeeper's expression and asked angrily.

Although Li Yanwen and others could not judge the reason from medical theory, they knew that things must not have been done according to their method, otherwise Jia Jun's condition would never be so bad.

When the housekeeper of the Jia Mansion saw Jia Xiong pursuing the matter, he knelt down with a mournful expression and said, "Master, the master ate irritating food, I deserve to die!"

"You evil servant, isn't this murder?" Li Yanwen checked Jia Jun's pulse and found that it was weak. He learned that it was caused by eating irritating food, and immediately accused him severely: "Didn't I tell you before I left? Now Jia Jun is seriously ill, and his diet should be light. He must not eat irritating food, otherwise penicillin will be powerless!"

When Jia Xiong learned the whole story, his eyes wanted to kill people, and he stepped forward and kicked the housekeeper to the ground.

"Master, I deserve to die! I tried to stop the master, but this was seafood soup and steamed crabs given by the Empress Dowager. Eunuch Li also said that he had to watch the master finish drinking it before he could go back to report. The master... insisted on accepting the gift!" The housekeeper fell to the ground after being kicked, and immediately told the whole story with a mournful face.

Empress Dowager?

After hearing this answer, Jia Xiong finally understood why Eunuch Li was here just now.

This was not because he was worried about his father's gift of food, but because he heard that his father had a carbuncle on his back, so he sent the seafood soup to harm his father.

At this moment, he didn't expect that there would be such a vicious old witch in the world. Having such a great empress dowager was really the greatest misfortune of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Jia Jun was covered with five layers of quilts, the cold had already entered his body, and he still felt cold, and even shivered constantly in the quilt.

Li Yanwen was a rare medical genius. He was not only the most outstanding doctor of the younger generation, but also the most popular imperial physician in the entire Beijing circle.

He asked someone to strip Jia Jun's clothes, open the set of imperial gold needles, and began to acupuncture Jia Jun.

Ahem...

Under Li Yanwen's acupuncture, Jia Jun finally woke up, but his body was pierced like a hedgehog, his lips were pale, and his complexion was very bad.

"Dad, why are you so confused? This is not an imperial decree, why do you want to eat irritating food?" Jia Xiong rushed to his father and complained.

Although his father was seriously ill this time, the current medical science is advanced, and there is Li Yanwen, a rare genius doctor in a century. As long as his father cooperates with the treatment, his body will definitely recover.

But for the favor of the support in the past, his father not only chose to enter the palace to destroy his future, but now he even wants his life. Everything seems so unworthy.

After Jia Jun drank a sip of hot water, it was very difficult to speak now. He ignored his son and called his most trusted concubine.

Concubine Liu is over 50 years old. She doesn't have a noble aura and her face looks very ordinary. But she has been well-behaved over the years, and now she has cried into tears.

Jia Xiong went outside with Li Yanwen and other doctors to discuss things. Just looking at the serious expressions on the faces of Li Yanwen and other doctors, he had already guessed a little in his heart.

"Lord Jia, Mr. Jia is already terminally ill. We are sorry that we can't do anything. Mr. Jia may not survive tonight. You should prepare for the funeral in advance. Please accept my condolences!" Li Yanwen did not speak. The most experienced doctor next to him said frankly.

They naturally hope to do their best to treat Jia Jun, but Jia Jun not only has a carbuncle on his back, but also suffers from severe cold.

If he slowly recuperates, treats the carbuncle on his back with penicillin, and cures the cold with drugs, then Jia Jun can slowly recover. But after eating this irritating food, the two pathologies act on this 70-year-old man at the same time, even if Hua Tuo is alive, he can't do anything.

Wow...

Although Jia Xiong already had a guess, he still couldn't suppress his sadness after learning the answer, and immediately cried against the wall.

He regretted leaving today. If he insisted on staying at home and taking good care of his father, he could persuade his father not to eat that irritating food.

"Young Master, you know your father's temper! Even if you are at home, you can't stop him. The master will definitely obey the order of the Empress Dowager!" The housekeeper who followed out knew what Jia Xiong was thinking, so he comforted him.

"Let's go!" Li Yanwen and other doctors looked at this scene. Knowing that there was nothing they could do to save the day, they silently chose to leave this sad place.

"Damn it! God, you are unfair. How could you give us such a vicious empress dowager in the Ming Dynasty?"

Jia Xiong knew that the real murderer was the aloof Empress Dowager, and he hated this turn of events and the old witch in the palace.

This voice reached the ears of Li Yanwen and other doctors, causing the group of them to be stunned immediately. Such remarks could lead to death, but Li Yanwen reacted the fastest: "I have been too busy recently, and now I feel dizzy. Listen, People are yelling and their ears are ringing!”

"Me too!" Several other doctors reacted and agreed.

The city of Beijing fell into a deep sleep in the night, with only a solitary lamp always on in Jia's room.

The medical miracle did not happen, what was supposed to come finally came!

puff!

Jia Jun suddenly got out of bed and came to his desk like a flashback. When he finished writing the last word of the memorial, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and died.

Jia Jun, courtesy name Tingjie, was born in Shulu, Zhili Province. He was born in the third year of Xuande and died in the twelfth year of Hongzhi.

In the first year of Jingtai, he entered Chinese studies through the provincial examination, but failed in many examinations. In the Tianshun period, he was selected as a supervisor and censor. He visited Zhejiang, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and Nanji, and made a sound wherever he went.

Promote Shanxi to monitor the affairs of the generals, assist in guarding Ningwuguan and other passes, cultivate military and political affairs, and serve Yan Ran on the border. He was promoted to deputy envoy of Shandong Province and assigned to Linqing.

In the 13th year of Chenghua's reign, Chao paid homage to the censor of Youqiandu and the governor of Ningxia.

After seven years in the town, the army and the people enjoyed their work.

Jia Jun adhered to the Constitution and strict military laws. He did not dare to commit crimes for several years, so he was called to be the right minister of the Ministry of Industry.

In the 21st year of Chenghua's reign, he was ordered to relieve the famine in Henan, and he sought out Zuo Shilang.

A few months later, he paid homage to the Minister of Works. At this time, the focus was on Jinshi, and there was no one who could reach the top six ministers. Jia Jun only won him with high hopes.

In the Hongzhi Dynasty, Jia Jun was a prudent, frugal, and unswerving man. He was in charge of the Ministry of Industry for six years.

In the sixth year of Hongzhi's reign, the steam train came into being. Jia Jun entered the cabinet due to his merits and promoted people to prime ministers. Jia Jun was the first person in the Ming Dynasty and was also praised by the world as an engineering prime minister.

After being in the cabinet for six years, he devoted all his efforts to stabilize the country, assisted the emperor to implement the reform rule, assumed the most important position in the world, and tried his best to achieve the great success of the Ming Dynasty.

However, as he grew older, contracted gangrene on his back and encountered cold, he asked the emperor to resign and return home. The emperor agreed and gave him a generous gift.

Before Jia Jun could make his trip, he suffered from a severe case of gangrene on his back and contracted wind and cold. He died in Beijing at the age of sixty-nine, which is a pity.

Early the next morning, the death of former cabinet minister Jia Jun quickly spread throughout Beijing.

"Sure enough, Mr. Jia Ge still can't survive it. It's really rare for a person to live for more than seventy years!"

"Didn't I say yesterday that the First Medical College had developed penicillin and could save Mr. Jiage?"

"Haha... even if there are ten flavors of good medicine in the pavilion, it is still not as good as... one dose of poison!"

Jia Jun had a good reputation in the capital circle. There were not many officials who were especially responsible for projects and could maintain integrity, so the people in the capital felt very sorry for his death.

With the tone of someone's words, especially the willingness of insiders to share the inside story, a large number of uninformed people began to know the whole story.

"Penicillin can cure back ulcers, and Mr. Jiage could have recovered slowly! But the Empress Dowager gave him seafood soup and steamed crabs. Mr. Jiage ate them, and his condition immediately worsened. Hua Tuo was powerless even while he was alive!" The reporter did not hide it, but told the truth of the matter.

"What a cruel heart! What's the reason for this? Isn't it rumored that Jia Jun is actually the Empress Dowager?"

"We thought that Mr. Jia Ge's entry into the palace was a failure to His Majesty, but in fact, he entered the palace to persuade the Empress Dowager to put the country, the country, and the country first!"

"Last time there was a fire at the Qianqing Gate. It would be really unthinkable if something unexpected happened to His Majesty. Jia Ge will be a good prime minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Mr. Jiage is naturally a good prime minister of our Ming Dynasty, but some people just want the Ming Dynasty to fall, so naturally they want to hate Mr. Jiage!"

As the topic slowly deepened, some truths also surfaced. Jia Jun did not betray the emperor, but went to the palace to lobby the Empress Dowager, but he did not want to be hated by the Empress Dowager.

"First, Your Majesty, now I am the Pavilion Elder. What a misfortune for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Jia Ge died of old age so unjustly, can this be the end of the matter?"

"Otherwise, what else can we do? Shouldn't the arson case of Qianqingmen only be traced to He Shang Palace?"

After learning the truth, many young officials pointed their fingers at the superior Empress Dowager, but poured cold water on some older officials.

Although the Empress Dowager Zhou was indeed very responsible for Jia Jun's death, it would be extremely difficult to hold the Empress Dowager accountable.

Not to mention, the gifts given by the Empress Dowager Zhou can be regarded as a kind of favor and respect. Since the Empress Dowager cannot be traced to the assassination of the emperor, it is naturally impossible to pursue the Empress Dowager because of Jia Jun, a minister.

Because of this, Jia Jun's death can only be regarded as a wasted death, and this debt cannot be attributed to the Empress Dowager at all.

Forbidden City, Guan Sui Palace.

"He died like this, which is an advantage for this ungrateful person!"

Empress Dowager Zhou lived a very comfortable and luxurious life as usual, sleeping until she woke up naturally every day. After hearing the news of Jia Jun's death, he drank the tea in his hand very calmly, as if the person who died this time was an insignificant person.

In fact, in her heart, everyone is so insignificant. Even if Emperor Hongzhi dies, she will applaud him, but the death of the traitor Jia Jun makes her feel relieved.

At this moment, Eunuch Li rushed in in a panic.

"What's the matter?" Empress Dowager Zhou stopped the tea cup that was brought to her lips and scolded her unhappily.

Eunuch Li ran so fast that he was out of breath and said: "Big... something bad is going to happen!"

"The emperor dares to punish the Ai family, but the Ai family will do it? If he really dares to punish the Ai family, the Ai family will do it. Let's see what Qing History will write about his unworthy grandson!" Empress Dowager Zhou was also a ruthless person, and she seemed very calm and authentic. .

The surrounding maids were vaguely aware that the Empress Dowager was very crazy inside. She was afraid that she really dared to die and wanted to confront the emperor head-on.

Eunuch Li finally caught his breath and told the story: "The Empress Dowager, we just got the latest news from the Ministry of Punishment, He Shanggong has been recruited!"

"What can she do? Who dares to do anything to the Ai family today? Which emperor has dared to deal with her imperial grandmother since ancient times? Besides, does she have evidence in her hand?" Empress Dowager Zhou seemed to have expected He Shanggong. His mouth is not strict, but he speaks confidently.

Facing the confident Empress Dowager Zhou, Eunuch Li gently shook his head and said, "Empress Dowager, you have misunderstood. This matter has nothing to do with you!"

"It has nothing to do with the Ai family?" Empress Dowager Zhou once again stopped bringing the tea cup to her lips and suddenly said in confusion.

According to the normal plot, He Shanggong will naturally bite himself out, or he may bite himself out. But things suddenly became weird, He Shanggong actually testified against others.

Eunuch Li nodded solemnly, and then told the true situation of the matter: "According to the information discovered, the Jin Yiwei found the secret correspondence with Prince Chong from He Mansion!"

"This is not the communication channel between the Ai family and Prince Chong. What does it have to do with the Shaogan Qing family!" Empress Dowager Zhou held a tea cup and looked even more puzzled.

Because there were some taboo topics in the letter, she did not use an explicit messenger, but secretly contacted the Runing Mansion through the He family of He Shang Palace, not wanting this matter to be known.

But even if this matter was discovered by the emperor, it would still be a trivial matter.

Eunuch Li looked at the still confused Empress Dowager, and told the truth: "The person He Shanggong testified against was King Chong, claiming that she was ordered by King Chong to burn down the Qing Palace!" (End of Chapter)
