Chapter eight hundred and seventy third true and false
Chapter 873 True and false
Kong Youhua, a genius doctor in the capital, has a great reputation. He has refused the recruitment of the Imperial Hospital several times and voluntarily practices medicine among the people. This behavior has made him even more famous.
In fact, Kong Youhua is not found by ordinary people among the people. Only those wealthy families can afford it. Empress Dowager Cisheng and Empress Dowager Rensheng of the palace also invited Kong Youhua to the palace for a visit when they were uncomfortable, which made the reputation of the miracle doctor even more famous. He said one thing, even more authoritative than the hospital manager of the Imperial Hospital.
With Wang Tong's status, there is no problem asking him to treat him. Moreover, after this miracle doctor came, he really gave different opinions from others. He wanted to let Wang Tong go to the bitter and cold place to recuperate so that his toxicity could be removed.
This diagnosis and treatment method sounds mysterious, but others think that after hearing it, they believe that a miracle doctor must have such a mysterious method. Moreover, so many famous doctors have seen it but cannot give it any advice. This person gave a different one, and I think he has the ability.
There were not many bitter and cold places that could be visited in the Ming Dynasty. In the past, I could only go to a few brick forts in Liao Town, but now it is different. With places like Guihua City, this must be a bitter and cold place.
Moreover, the miraculous doctor also said that Wang Tong's physical condition gradually improved when he returned to the north from the south. Although there were medicinal materials and rest, hot and cold were also the key points, which showed his level even more.
After paying the miracle doctor a lot of money, unlike in the past, Song Chanchan entered Wang Tong's ward, and the others were sent out. Wang Tong was still very weak. Song Chanchan sat by the bed and spoke:
"Kong Youhua has been trying medicine on his servants at home, and a lot of things happened. This time I arranged for someone to cover it up, so this diagnosis was made."
Wang Tong leaned against the bed and said slowly:
"Kong Youhua's sons were sent to the Tianjin Guards to serve. After these things are over, they will stay with them so that they will not make any mistakes on Kong Youhua's side."
Song Chanchan nodded and then stood up and brought a bowl of medicine from the low table on one side to Wang Tong, and said in a low voice:
"I have heard a lot of news from all over the past few days. The official sects in the capital are now staring at the new prince, waiting to see His Majesty's arrangements. Someone has already connected the matter below and is preparing to jointly submit a memorial to ask the world to make Zhu Changluo the crown prince."
A sneer appeared on Wang Tong's face, and Song Chanchan hesitated and said again:
"I don't dare to say the news correctly, because the people who are talking there are also careful, and I only heard some scales vaguely, saying that there are people in the palace who have ideas about the prince."
"Empress Dowager Cisheng naturally had ideas. Concubine Gong was a person from Cining Palace. Concubine Gong's children were naturally the queen mother who liked the most."
Wang Tong said coldly, Song Chanchan shook her head and lowered her voice a little further:
"No, it is said to be from the inner court."
Wang Tong raised his eyebrows and stared at Song Chanchan, then narrowed his eyes and was silent for a while before asking:
"When you inquired about this information, did you alarm the Public Security Department and other yamen?"
"Please rest assured, the inquiries are all my own eyes and ears, and there is nothing to do with the official face."
Wang Tong nodded slowly, and Song Chanchan asked there:
"Are these news delivered to the Jinyiwei?"
Wang Tong did not respond. He was silent for a long time, but did not answer the question, but just asked:
"Do you have someone to rest assured?"
"Several people have received great kindness from me, and I can take this life with me."
Song Chanchan replied solemnly, Wang Tong tried the hot and cold medicine for the decoction, and then took a few sips. The decoction has a lot of ingredients and should not be drunk too much, otherwise the body will change. He handed the leftover medicine bowl to Song Chanchan, and Wang Tong said slowly:
"Prince, the establishment of a crown prince is a major event of the Tian family. It is difficult for us as ministers to participate. However, if the people below are struggling with the establishment of a crown prince and a chief, we will not be able to manage it. After all, there will always be persistence in the great righteousness of sages."
Hearing this slow words, Song Chanchan began to react without reacting. She looked at Wang Tong's face in confusion. Thinking about what Wang Tong said just now, her body trembled, her face turned pale quickly, and then she returned to normal. Then she said:
"How far should I do?"
"We can do it as much as we can. Our family has so much money, and we can spend it if we don't bring it in life or death."
Song Chanchan stood up from her seat and said solemnly that Wang Tong sat up from the bed and reached out to make a move to Song Chanchan. Song Chanchan walked over with some confusion, but she was not afraid of being hugged by Wang Tong. Although she was already a couple, she had already shared a bed with her sleepers, but during the day, both sides were still respectful to each other, and Wang Tong rarely did such intimate actions.
When Wang Tong was hugged in his arms, Song Chanchan's whole body became stiff. Wang Tong patted Song Chanchan's back with his hands and whispered:
"This time I go to naturalize and recuperate. The female family keeps you in the capital and asks you to take charge of so many dangerous things. It's really aggrieved and hard for you. But they don't have this scheming. I've left too much traces. For the sake of our family's future, I can only do it."
At this time, Song Chanchan also recovered from surprise and said softly in Wang Tong's heart:
"I understand what I have to do with my husband."
After Wang Tong returned to the capital and was summoned by Emperor Wanli, Gong Yumajian immediately sent people to the south of the Yangtze River. Wang Tong passed by, and many wealthy families were broken, and a large number of land became ownerless. Whether it was a royal farm or a public land, it would be beneficial to the court and the Ming Dynasty.
However, according to the news Wang Tong received in Tianjin Wei, the unowned fields that came out of Jiangnan have now been divided up, and Sanjiang Trading Company has also eaten a lot. At this time, the people sent by the palace to Jiangnan were only the unfavorable news about the Xu Jie family.
Song Chanchan has several confidants who are not from Wang Tong's system, but have existed since the Qinguan. They now live in places that do not connect with Wang Tong's mansion and Qinguan.
One of them met Wang Tong's personal soldiers somewhere in the capital, and then the personal soldiers led them to a house. The house was a homeless place, but there was a large amount of gold and silver hidden in the house.
When Wang Tong came to the capital from Tianjin Wei, he brought huge wealth, which was hidden in various places in the capital and could be used to call it out.
Although the motion and idea of asking Emperor Wanli to make his eldest son Zhu Changluo the crown prince has been circulated in the officialdom, it has not formed a trend. The prince Zhu Changxun of Concubine Zheng is less than a month old. Now the child is less than a hundred days old. He cannot even be treated as a person. It is impossible to judge whether he will die prematurely. At this time, he rashly submitted a memorial. It is hard to say whether there is any result. It is possible that he will cause trouble for himself.
But the atmosphere in the capital was no longer right. The censor and the officials wrote memorials to impeach the Ministry of Justice and found out several cases in the past, which were nothing more than the distribution of family property. I wanted to pass it on to my favorite child, and the eldest son was sued, saying that the eldest son should have a large sum, not the most favored child, etc.
Wang Tong has also read this case file. One of them is that the eldest son and daughter-in-law are unfilial and do not support the elderly at all. Instead, they drive the elderly out of the house. The youngest son is in an average family background, but they take the elderly back to be filial. When they die, the old man hides some gold and gives it to the youngest son. Then the eldest son knows that when he goes to the government to make a big fuss, the local officials will not be inclined to the eldest son, and no one will think that the youngest son is at fault for getting the money.
However, it has been brought up by the censors, talking about the desires of heaven and man, the words of sages, and saying that such judgments are contrary to human ethics, etc. Anyone with discerning eyes knows what they are referring to and what they are intent.
"There are also methods of hot pot in the past palace, but it is not as delicious as you made. Today I have chosen some warm and tonic ingredients, so you can try it."
Ordinary ministers could not enjoy such treatment, even the chief minister of the cabinet, Shen Shixing. In November, Emperor Wanli invited Wang Tong in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace. The capital was already quite cold at this time, with red mud stoves, brass soup pots, and various seasonal delicacies slices prepared, and the palace fragrance was filled with fragrance.
"Lang said that I should eat less meat and fish in my body, just eat some vegetarian dishes."
Wang Tong looked increasingly haggard and weak, and even sat on the chair, he couldn't sit straight. Emperor Wanli looked at him with concern and asked again:
"What do you think of those wastes in the Imperial Hospital?"
"Report to Your Majesty, Imperial Hospital has a judgment with Kong Youhua. It is said that I am effective in going to a place where the cold is in the bitter place to recuperate. The capital will be warm in spring, which is not suitable. Besides, Your Majesty asked me to take charge of Guihua City. I will always go over and see the management and sort out the rules for Your Majesty."
Emperor Wanli frowned and said in a solemn voice:
"I can't live without you here. The Jinyiwei has to rely on you to help me manage it. Look at the memorials these days, saying that the Ministry of Justice's judgment is unfair. Do you think I am a fool and can't see them insincere. You also need to help suppress these things."
"Your Majesty, each Jinyiwei has its own system. Your Majesty can operate efficiently through direct management of the internal officials. As for these memorials, Your Majesty, I have an idea. Those judges also know that they are all applauding the people. Now the censors are just trying to make a big statement. Your Majesty might as well let the theater turn these cases into a play and perform them directly, and the likes and dislikes of the people will naturally be reversed."
"Okay, you have a good idea. Let the theater arrange the plays. They don't like to listen to those great principles. This drama is popular all over the world."
Emperor Wanli looked excited and patted the table there. Wang Tong coughed again there. He wanted to pick up the cup and drink water and press it down. He was a little incomplete. Emperor Wanli sighed, shook his head and said:
Chapter completed!
