Chapter 52 Black Hand

The emperor must serve the emperor. Fortunately, at this time, the time when famous doctors emerged in the Great Sui Dynasty, Sun Simiao, who later became known as the King of Medicine, needs no need to say that Xu Yinzong, who had treated the prince's illness, can also be called a famous doctor. Zhen Quan, Xu Zhizang, and Chao Yuanfang in the Imperial Hospital are all experts of medical skills. Xu Cheng recommended his own family. The Imperial Doctor Xu Zhizang went to Renshou Palace. As soon as Xu Zhizang arrived, Xu Cheng immediately took two medicine boys to the capital in a carriage.

The emperor fell and fell into a coma in mid-June, and it was already early July when Xu Cheng looked for an opportunity to return to the capital from Renshou Palace. This period was the hottest time. Not long after he came out of the cool and comfortable Renshou Palace, Xu Cheng suddenly felt a heat. Renshou Palace is really a good place to eliminate the scorching heat. If he had not served as the Shang Pharmacopoeia Emperor, ordinary imperial physicians would not be qualified to follow the emperor to Renshou Palace to escape the heat. However, for his own sake, Renshou Palace is no longer comfortable than outside, and Xu Cheng would not dare to stay.

Renshou Palace is more than 100 miles away from the capital. Although it is only half a day to reach the fast horse, it will take two or three days if you are traveling. On the road from Renshou Palace to the capital, there is a court station every twenty miles, which can be used for the emperor and officials to rest and eat when traveling. After a day of travel, Xu Cheng and two medicine boys were sweating heavily, covered in dust, and felt very uncomfortable all over. Before it was dark, they found an inn and stopped and prepared to rest overnight.

As a fifth-rank court official, if Xu Cheng arrived at a local inn, he would probably be offered as an old man. The stations from the capital to Renshou Palace are different. Among these inns, it is not surprising that the first-rank and second-rank officials were welcomed. The several major inns in the middle even received the emperor many times. Naturally, a fifth-rank official like Xu Cheng was not surprised. Fortunately, it was the off-season now, so Xu Cheng was assigned to a separate villa.

After dinner, due to the stuffy weather, he couldn't fall asleep for a while. Xu Cheng and the two medicine boys moved a few chairs to the yard to enjoy the cool air. One medicine boy couldn't help but complain: "Sir, it's so comfortable to accompany the emperor in Renshou Palace, why should you leave?"

"Hmph, it's comfortable. You won't say it's comfortable when you lose your life." Xu Cheng said angrily.

The two medicine boys were puzzled when they heard this. They could not enter Linfang Hall as they were, so many things were naturally unknown. One medicine boy asked quickly: "Sir, did something big happen?"

"It's nothing, don't think about it." Xu Cheng realized that he let out a word and quickly denied it.

"Sir, just tell us, we will keep it secret and not tell it." The two medicine boys were ghost elves. They must have pointed out something else when they heard Xu Cheng's words. They were at the age of curiosity, especially when it came to some secrets in the palace, and they were even more interested.

Xu Cheng became serious: "Don't ask, it's not good for you to know."

The two medicine boys immediately stretched out their tongues and didn't dare to say anything. The whole yard became quiet, but a gloomy voice suddenly sounded behind them: "What if I want to know?"

"Who?" Xu Cheng was shocked and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. He saw a man in white with a blurred face standing behind him. He was about to ask why the other party dared to trespass in, but in the blink of an eye, he immediately realized that the other party was in bad intentions and jumped up from the chair. He knew in his heart that this was a station in the court after all. As long as he shouted, even if the soldiers at the station were not enough, he would alarm the officials who were living in the place. In that case, no matter who the other party was, he could only escape.

Xu Cheng's reaction was extremely fast, but he was about to let go and call someone, but suddenly he was hit hard in the back of his head and fell to the ground. Before he fell into a coma, he finally realized that the other party was not the same person.

"Pu, pu." While Xu Cheng fainted, his two medicine boys were knocked fainted. A total of six or seven men in black flashed out in the yard.

"Damn it, this guy almost made a big deal." A man in black who knocked Xu Cheng out of sight cursed in a low voice, kicking Xu Cheng's fart suit with his feet.

The man in white frowned and shouted softly: "Don't be troublesome, hurry up, take away all the people and things, and don't leave any trace."

"Yes." Several men in black responded, put Xu Cheng and two medicine boys in sacks and transported them to the wall. The two men in black rushed up the wall of the station and stood firmly on the wall. The two men in black responded with each other and threw them up. They caught them on the wall and threw them under the wall on the other side.

After the people and the things were transported away, the man in white carefully checked it before he followed up on the wall and disappeared on the other side of the wall. The next day, when the postmen at the postmen came to the courtyard to deliver breakfast to Xu Cheng and the other two, he found that there was no figure in the courtyard. The postmen were not very concerned about Xu Cheng's disappearance. In such a hot day, many officials would rush to the road just as dawn. When he went to the place where Xu Cheng placed the carriage, he saw that the carriage was indeed gone.

The postmaster received the report from the postmaster, opened the account book, and recorded the third day of the seventh month of the third year of Kaihuang. Xu Cheng, Shang Pharmacology Emperor, took his servants to stay at the postmaster for one night, and paid a total of 171 yuan. Xu Cheng's disappearance was completely unrest.

In the capital, the office location of the Shangshu Province on the side of the Taiji Hall, Yang Yongzheng and Shangshu Zuo Pushe Su Wei and Shangshu Zuo Cheng and the four ministers of Shangshu Zuo Cheng can be submitted for execution. However, some important matters will be accompanied by the two Shangshu Zuo Cheng and the other ministers of the court.

The memorials of each minister are confidential documents. Except for the assistant officials like the Left and Left Minister of the Shangshu, ordinary ministers have no chance to enter and exit the Shangshu Province. Except for the occasional hissing sounds from Yang Yong and Su Wei to read the memorials, the office area of ​​four or five people seemed quiet.

Since the emperor has been experiencing the summer heat in Renshou Palace, the morning court is also suspended every day. Officials rely on submitting memorials for any matter. At least hundreds of memorials are delivered to the Shangshu Room every day. Most of the memorials are mostly ordinary trivial matters. If you have to read each one, Yang Yong would not be enough to stay in Shangshu Province all day. Fortunately, these memorials are passed by Shangshu Zuo Pushe first.

Su Wei is undoubtedly a very talented person. He held five positions in the early years of Kaihuang. However, he was reported to have made friends with the Ministry of Personnel in the ninth year of Kaihuang and was dismissed from office. Later, he was repeatedly appointed and repeatedly removed from office. He became very slippery in the midst of ups and downs. Especially after the former Shangshu left and right servant Gao Ying and Yu Qingze demoted and died, Su Wei basically became a verbal. Whether facing the prince or the emperor, he had no courage to argue with reason.

However, Su Wei's level is still there, and he basically does not miss the problem. Because of this, Su Wei settled firmly in the position of Shangshu Zuo Pushe after Gao Ying left, which greatly reduced Yang Yong's burden. With Su Wei's comments, Yang Yong only needs to add a word "Ca" to the back to be done. Therefore, Yang Yong's memorials are handled very quickly.

Lu Mulin hurried into the palace with a slightly anxious look on his face. Although Lu Mulin was the prince's confidant, when he entered the Secretariat, he was still stopped by the guards without hesitation: "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, you can't go in."

Of course, Lu Mulin knew that the Secretariat was not the matter of entering the Secretariat as soon as he said, so he had to smile and said, "Two sirs, I have urgent matters to ask for the prince, please be kind."

The two guards shook their heads together: "Sir, an important place in the Shangshu Province, no one can enter without the order of the Prince or Shangshu Zuo Pushe."

Lu Mulin was helpless and anxious. He didn't see the prince, so how could he have a handwritten order? If it weren't for the palace, he really wanted to shout a few words, but then he said that, this place was still dozens of meters away from the Shangshu Province. Even if he shouted, the prince might not be able to hear it.

After processing the stack of memorials in front of him, Yang Yong stretched his waist and looked at the large stack of memorials in front of Su Wei. Yang Yong had a headache. Although the office of the Shangshu Province was spacious, it was still extremely stuffy and far less than the shade of the imperial tree. He smiled slightly and decided to go out and go around first and then say: "Mr. Su, I will go out first."

Su Wei didn't raise his head: "Please give me a gift!"

Yang Yong was not polite either. He pushed the chair and walked out of the stuffy office room. Shangshu Room could be said to be the heart of the Great Sui Dynasty. Every time a memorial was out here, it would have a big or small impact on the whole country. There were three steps outside the door and five steps to whistle. When these guards saw the prince coming out, they still looked at him without looking.

But Yang Yong knew that if someone else dared to break through and couldn't take three or five steps, he would be immediately turned into a hornet's nest. With today's government orders, almost all of them would be issued from him. Yang Yong also felt that the forbearance over the years was worth it.
