Qin Kan and Yang Tinghe both said it easily, but their hearts were extremely heavy.
Yang Tinghe is Zhu Houzhao's mentor. The relationship between master and disciple for more than 20 years and the relationship between monarch and minister for more than ten years are stuck in his heart. No one knows the sadness in Yang Tinghe's heart at this moment. Not only that, as the chief minister of the cabinet, there is also a A more serious problem lies ahead.
If Zhu Houzhao fails to wake up, or Long Yu dies, who will be the next monarch of the Ming Dynasty? Zhu Houzhao has no heirs. The Yongle lineage has been passed down for more than a hundred years, but it is completely broken here. If you want to choose a successor to the throne, the cabinet can only initiate a court discussion and select a peer with the closest bloodline from the Zhu family genealogy. The emperor's relatives, that is, Zhu Houzhao's cousins, would inherit.
Whether you can accept it or not, there is a shocking fact before everyone - if Zhu Houzhao cannot wake up, the world of Ming Dynasty will change.
At this moment, in front of the Leopard Room, all the courtiers' eyes were focused on Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing, Mao Cheng, Qin Kan and others. They were the most powerful people in the Ming Empire besides the emperor. Their attitudes would determine the next step of the Ming Empire. Toward and rise and fall.
Yang Tinghe is under a lot of pressure. He is the chief minister of the cabinet. He holds great power and bears heavy responsibilities. If his ideas are slightly wrong and the Ming Dynasty declines, he will become a sinner through the ages. He and his descendants will bear the consequences for generations to come. People curse endlessly.
When everyone was silent, Yang Tinghe coughed a few times and cupped his hands towards Qin Kan: "Mr. Qin, look at this"
After such a big thing happened, the chief minister of the court actually asked the opinion of a duke who should not be involved in politics. The message sent by this move was very obvious. The courtiers were very discerning, so except for a group of people who claimed to be noble, Except for the elders who snorted coldly, everyone's ardent eyes were focused on Qin Kan.
Qin Kan looked at the closed door of the Leopard Room. My mind was like a mess and I couldn't sort it out, and my face was always gloomy, like the sky was about to pour down a heavy rain.
"First, we will do our best to save your majesty. If your majesty is saved, everything else will be gone" Qin Kan said these words through his teeth.
Yang Tinghe hurriedly nodded in agreement: "That's right. Saving His Majesty is the first priority. Come, please wait for Liu Wentai, the judge from Taiyuan Hospital, to come out. Please come and meet us as soon as possible to inform us of His Majesty's condition"
Qin Kan added: "At this critical juncture, we will spare no effort to save Your Majesty. Famous doctors from all over the capital can also be invited to the Leopard Room for consultation, such as the famous Mr. Long Erzhi in the capital, and ¡¡±
"And me." A crisp but cold voice came from afar, interrupting Qin Kan's words.
Everyone was stunned and moved out of the way. But not far away, Tang Zihe was seen walking in a green skirt with a black veil and a hat covered with a black veil, surrounded by the imperial guards.
Qin Kan's gloomy face finally broke out into a smile, and he said to Yang Tinghe: "This Miss Tang is my confidante for many years. She was also the sister of Tang Yin, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Academy and a miracle doctor for countless living people. This is For several years, she worked in the capital to help the world and provided medicine and medicine to the poor people. I guess all my colleagues have heard of her reputation. Now that the situation is urgent, as the saying goes, one should not avoid relatives when it comes to promotion, I thought about it and felt that I should invite Miss Tang here. Let me show it to Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Everyone suddenly understood, nodding their heads repeatedly, looking at Qin Kan with ambiguous expressions on their faces.
They have indeed heard of Tang Zihe's reputation. Moreover, his medical skills are quite good. It is said that he is speechless compared to Long Erzhi of the capital, and even Mr. Long is sick in bed all the time. However, in comparison, the reputation of Ning Guogong's wife, Ning Guogong, seems to be greater and louder than the reputation of Tang's miracle doctor. At this moment, Qin Gonggong invited this girl over. Could it be that he wanted to use the opportunity of rescuing His Majesty to give her the title of royal wife, so as to raise her status and avoid being thrown into the well by Ning Guogong's fierce wife?
Countless villains speculated on Mr. Qin¡¯s noble character, and immediately there were more angry roars from around him.
Qin Kan calmly faced everyone's ambiguous gazes. Although he had a vague urge in his heart to ask them to line up and slap them in the face with the soles of his shoes, his expression remained calm.
Everyone looked at her with different eyes, but no one spoke. In the end, Yang Tinghe broke the silence and said with a smile: "Miss Tang's reputation as a miracle doctor is known to everyone in the capital, and I have also heard of it. I must have good medical skills, and it belongs to Mr. Qin." Ahem, the helpful girl has come to the Leopard Room to conduct a consultation on His Majesty. If she can make His Majesty wake up, it will be an unparalleled achievement."
After saying that, Yang Tinghe ordered a eunuch to be summoned. At this time, all the favored seven tigers in the inner palace gathered in front of Zhu Houzhao's couch. The eunuch guarding the door of the leopard room was jealous. Yang Tinghe explained Tang Zihe's identity to the eunuch. , the eunuch's slightly arrogant expression suddenly became like a spring breeze. He looked at Tang Zihe like a loyal dog looking at its master. He glanced at Qin Kan from time to time, for fear of offending this majesty who was so red in front of him.The true God of ??.
Tang Zihe's expression has always been calm, and he walked into the Leopard Room as if he were entering his own house.
When he passed by Qin Kan, Tang Zihe understood the worry in Qin Kan's eyes at a glance, stopped and smiled at him: "Don't worry, I am a doctor who saves people, and I will do my best. Anyway It won¡¯t be any worse than it is now.¡±
This sentence was so obscure that only Qin Kan could understand it. Qin Kan also smiled when he heard the words, and finally let go of his hanging heart.
She knew what he was worried about, so she reassured him with just one word.
Qin Kan has not forgotten that this goddess doctor who treated Zhu Houzhao was a female rebel who dominated three provinces ten years ago and had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under her command, vowing to seize Zhu Houzhao's kingdom. Just a few days ago, this female rebel with unyielding intentions returned. Trying to develop offline, drag the Duke into the rebel camp, and instill in him the treasonous and reactionary thought of "the emperor takes turns to sit in my house this year" like a pyramid scheme brainwashing
Now, at this moment, this female rebel actually wants to treat the emperor
Although Tang Zihe had implicitly stated that he would not do anything to Zhu Houzhao, Qin Kan couldn't help but want to ambush five hundred swordsmen outside the leopard room
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡
Tang Zihe entered the Leopard Room. Long Erzhi, a famous doctor from the capital who was arbitrarily pulled out of the bed by the Jin Yiwei, was sent into the Leopard Room without any explanation. Together with the other doctors from the Imperial Hospital, they took turns taking Zhu Houzhao's pulse for consultation. There was a commotion in the main hall of the Leopard Room. With the shouting, Zhang Yonggu Dayong and others turned pale and anxious, trying to break up the fight but not knowing who to turn to. The hall became a mess.
The ministers who were guarding the marquis outside the Leopard Room did not stop. They gathered in twos and threes to discuss in low voices. The courtiers were divided into three groups. One was the optimistic group, which always believed that Zhu Houzhao was just drowning. It's just a fainting in a hurry, and it won't take long for him to wake up naturally. The second day is the pessimistic group. The doctors have tried their best to wake up, but they still can't wake up. It's obvious that the condition is extremely critical, and another day is just around the corner. The other group is the most common grass on the wall. No matter which way the wind blows, they still stand by and watch.
Qin Kan stood quietly outside the Leopard Room like everyone else. After discussing with Yang Tinghe and others, everyone could not come up with the charter, so they could only wait for the results of the consultation by the imperial doctors and famous doctors. He also sent people to the palace to report to the two old empresses and Queen Xia, and ordered the news to be sealed to the outside world, and no one was allowed to spread the news about Zhu Houzhao falling into the water.
Quietly staring at the two dark closed doors of the Leopard Room, Qin Kan pursed his lips, but his mind became more and more confused, and an uneasy feeling suddenly hit his heart.
The Zhengde Emperor in history did become ill after falling into the water, and finally died in middle age. I thought that my arrival had changed the world, and what was supposed to happen might not happen. However, in the end, God is not as good as man. Some things have changed, but some things still happen according to their original trajectory, even if they are as high as the emperor. He Guogong can control the life and death of all living things in the world, but he can never defeat God's will
The most powerful and best friend lay unconscious in the luxurious and cold palace, but he could only silently wait for the news outside the palace gate, in front of God. Being the Duke of the country is still so insignificant. Since entering the officialdom for more than ten years, Qin Kan has never been so helpless as he is today.
Confused and at a loss, Qin Kan felt his sleeves being gently pulled twice and looked back. But it was Ding Shun.
Ding Shun carefully scanned the surroundings, then leaned into Qin Kan's ear and lowered his voice: "My lord, the doctors are treating your Majesty right now. I'm afraid there won't be any results for a while. My lord, I'm waiting here in vain." Might as well take a walk around the neighborhood"
Looking at Ding Shun's sneaky appearance, Qin Kan frowned: "Ding Shun, I'm in a bad mood right now. If you have anything to say, it's best to say it directly and don't get into trouble with me."
Ding Shun said hurriedly: "My lord, several adults are waiting for you in the pavilion on the east side of Xihua Pond. Please move me and discuss anything with me."
Qin Kan looked back at the door of the Leopard Room and said calmly: "Lead the way."
Xihua Pond is right in front of the Leopard House. The pavilion on the east side was originally a place for tourists to have fun in the spring. Later, after Zhu Houzhao decided to build the Leopard House beside the Xihua Pond, the pavilion became a forbidden area and was guarded day and night by the Four Guards of Tengxiang. , idlers are not allowed to approach, this is a restricted area outside the Leopard Room, Zhu Houzhao seldom plays on weekdays, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, so a good pavilion has been deserted since then.
Qin Kan followed Ding Shun slowly, and after half a mile of winding paths along the secluded forest beside Xihua Pond, he finally reached the pavilion.
The imperial guards within a few dozen feet outside the pavilion have been taken over by Jin Yiwei. Ding Shun, Li Er, Chang Feng and others led Qin Kan's most trusted old Nanjing troops to guard the surrounding area. The pavilion was completely surrounded, and everyone pressed down with solemn expressions. Dao was on alert. Seeing Qin Kan's arrival, all the old men bowed in salute and retreated to make way for him.
PavilionThere have already been more than a dozen ministers gathered inside, all of whom are old acquaintances and die-hard backbones of the Qin Party, including Mou Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards Command, Yang Tinghe, a great scholar, Yang Yiqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Yan Song, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and others. The noble nobleman Qin Kan unexpectedly turned out to be Zhu Hui, the protector of the country.
It is inevitable to form cliques in the court. After more than ten years of hard work, Qin Kan's power now can be said to be overwhelming. His power is only stronger than that of Liu Jin back then. The difference is that Qin Kan knows how to be patient and keep a low profile. Unlike Liu Jin who was arrogant and arrogant as soon as he came to power, these die-hard Qin Party members were of the same style as gentlemen and gentlemen, whether overtly or covertly. No one would have thought that these important ministers in the court could shock the world by stomping their feet. It has become Ning Guogong's political alliance.
As for the protector of the country, Mr. Zhu, is a bit special. Thanks to Qin Kan's efforts to encourage the inner palace and the nobles of the capital to jointly fund maritime trade, many nobles in the capital became entangled with Qin Kan because of their interests. Mr. Zhu is one of them. In the past ten years, the silver in the Baoguo Palace has increased countless times. Although the old man dislikes Qin Kan, he has no grudge against Yinzi, so he unknowingly , Mr. Zhu also became a member of the Qin Party.
Seeing Qin Kan walking into the pavilion, everyone stood up and held their hands. Zhu Hui leaned on his elders and nodded like an elder, but Qin Kan didn't take it seriously. Still humbly returning the greetings one by one.
"My lords, there is a change in the palace today. Your Majesty's life and death are unknown at this time. Please invite Qin to come here"
Everyone in the pavilion looked at each other with strange expressions.
finally. Yan Song, who was closest to Qin Kan and had the best relationship, spoke first on behalf of everyone.
"Mr. Qin, I will invite you to come here at this time to discuss important matters."
Qin Kan seemed to be aware of it, but he said calmly and calmly: "Weizhong, just say it."
Yan Song lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then organized his words. He cautiously said: "Your Majesty accidentally drowned today. When I saw the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital frequently entering and exiting the leopard room, their expressions became uglier. After making some wild guesses, I felt I felt ¡¡±
Qin Kan¡¯s voice became calmer: ¡°What do you think?¡±
"Sir, although we scholars worship Confucius and Mencius, we have also dabbled in hundreds of schools of thought and have had contact with medical books, from the Huangdi Neijing, Shennong's Materia Medica, and Qianjin Prescription, to the imperial hospital of this dynasty, Liu Wentai's judgment We have all read through the "Essentials of Imperial Materia Medica" compiled and compiled by my father Liu Jing. We have some judgments about common pathological diseases. Ordinary drowning people. If they can be rescued within dozens of breaths, squeeze Pressing the fluid in the abdominal cavity makes the person choke and cough, but the person is fine. However, if the person drowns for too long and only makes a sound after being rescued, but does not regain consciousness, thenthen"
"Then what?"
Yan Song gritted his teeth and said, "Then it's more bad than good!"
After Yan Song finished speaking, there was a deathly silence in the pavilion, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have suddenly dropped a lot. A suffocating breath filled the heads of everyone.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Frogs and insects were heard all around the pavilion. The subtle and messy sounds made the atmosphere inside the pavilion even more gloomy and gloomy.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Qin Kan forced out a smile and said, ¡°What do you want to say?¡±
Yan Song didn't dare to speak anymore. He knew very well how deep the friendship between Qin Kan and Zhu Houzhao was. The next words undoubtedly challenged Qin Kan's psychological bottom line. The Duke had not lost his temper in many years, but everyone knew how serious the consequences would be if he got angry.
In the end, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but speak.
"Mr. Qin, I am your majesty's teacher. Your majesty drowned and his life is in danger. I am more heartbroken than you are, but we are all important weapons of the country. No matter how heartbroken we are, some things have to be faced. Tonight, if the doctor It is a blessing from heaven that your majesty can wake up with our wonderful rejuvenation. Your majesty can be said to have survived this disaster safely. However, if your majesty cannot wake up tonight, Mr. Qin, where will the Ming Dynasty go? Who will be chosen to succeed the throne? What will happen to the situation in the DPRK? In order to stabilize the situation, how can the palace and the outer court be calmed down? We have to come up with a charter, otherwise if there is really unspeakable bad news, wouldn't the court and the world be in chaos?"
Although he knew that what Yang Tinghe said was an old man's advice to seek the country, and every word was reasonable, Qin Kan couldn't help but get angry.
"Your Majesty still has a voice and is not dead yet. Are you so anxious to give His Majesty the end?"
Everyone was startled and hurriedly stood up to express their misunderstanding.
Yang Tinghe was also angry: "I and Mr. Zhu have been veterans of the four dynasties. Whenever the emperor is dying, the bells in the bell and drum towers of the palace ring and the ministers gather together to discuss the emperor's future affairs and check the emperor's edicts. This is not disobedience, but the righteousness of ministers. , Why did Mr. Qin slander me like this?"
Qin Kan stared at Yang Tinghe and said coldly: "Your Majesty is less than thirty years old, and it is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. He just drowned and didn't wake up. How can he stay alive?"What to say? If Your Majesty wakes up tomorrow, how will you see Your Majesty? "
Zhu Houzhao was wearing a bright yellow soft silk lining. He was lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed. His face was as pale as paper. Only the weak rise and fall of his chest from time to time could tell that he was alive.
Liu Liangnv, her hair in a messy bun, slumped beside the bed, staring at Zhu Houzhao with tears on her face, her eyes filled with unconcealable sadness and pain.
The bed was surrounded by imperial doctors, including Tang Zihe and the famous doctor Long Erzhi.
Liu Wentai, judged by the Taiyuan Hospital, is very old, and his pale hair looks increasingly withered and sparse under the dim light of the palace lantern. However, his face is as gloomy as the frost in midwinter, and his angry gaze glances over Long Erzhi from time to time. It's very unkind, and there is absolutely no intention of meeting him at any time.
Long Erzhi was full of depression. He knew the meaning of Liu Wentai's eyes.
The illness of the emperor and the nobles in the palace is the work of the imperial doctors. No matter how skilled the doctors are, their status is still several blocks away from that of the imperial doctors. However, today His Majesty is drowned, and Ning Guogong and the ministers of the foreign court will The fact that two doctors from the public were invited for consultation clearly showed contempt and distrust for the imperial hospital. This fact made the imperial doctors extremely embarrassed and angry. The meaning of Liu Wentai's cannibalistic gaze was obvious.
"Long Erzhi has troubles that he cannot tell. Do you think it is a very honorable thing to treat the nobles in the palace, especially the emperor?" This is risking his life with his own head. The risk is countless times higher than that of a rebel bandit. A slight mistake in diagnosis will be the result of being executed by the Nine Clans. If it weren't for the rough guys from Jin Yiwei who kidnapped him without any reason, Even if you kill him, you won't even take a step closer to the leopard room.
On the other hand, Tang Zihe, the goddess doctor of the capital who has been in the limelight in recent years, had a very calm expression. He was neither sad nor happy, fearless and fearless. The imperial doctors and Long Erzhi took Zhu Houzhao's pulse respectively, and finally it was Tang Zihe's turn.
Tang Zihe did not shy away from the difference between men and women at all. He neither ordered anyone to pull the curtain nor ask anyone to hang the thread. Instead, he casually put three slender jade fingers on Zhu Houzhao's wrist, closing his eyes and thinking silently.
Everyone stared in silence at Tang Zihe's stunningly beautiful face, quietly waiting for her to take her pulse.
Tang Zihe took the pulse very slowly. He was unhurried from beginning to end. He completely ignored Liu Wentai's unkind eyes. On the contrary, when he met Liu Wentai's eyes inadvertently, Liu Wentai turned his eyes slightly panicked. elsewhere.
Liu Wentai has been a court judge for half his life, and he has gained a lot of experience in the officialdom. In the land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital, some people can be offended, but some people cannot be offended. For example, this stunning aunt in front of him is definitely not allowed. The type of person who offends her and can only smile and do it even if she spits in his face.
The girl is not scary, but the girl's man is scary. The man is so powerful that just sneezing can make him doomed. Liu Wentai dares to frown and glare at Long Erzhi, but he never dares to have any color towards Tang Zihe. .
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Zihe's snow-white jade fingers, as white as green onions, slowly moved away from Zhu Houzhao's wrist, and then he opened Zhu Houzhao's eyelids unceremoniously and looked at his pupils and degree of congestion. , and finally made a move that stunned the imperial doctors. She held Zhu Houzhao's chin with one hand, and inserted the fingers of her other hand directly into Zhu Houzhao's mouth. With a little force, she pried the dragon's mouth open and ordered one to die. The eunuch held the palace lantern and approached. Tang Zihe squinted and looked carefully at Zhu Houzhao's tongue coating.
After completing the procedure, Tang Zihe stopped with satisfaction and took half a step back. No one noticed that a complex look of understanding flashed in Tang Zihe's eyes.
