Although Liu Bowen was a sincere man, he and his family lived in a few bamboo houses. It was not that Lao Zhu didn't reward him with a house.
But people like to live like Tao Yuanming, picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains. This state is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"It's just a minor illness, why would Your Majesty bother the imperial physician and imperial censor to make such a trip."
He completely ignored Hu Weiyong and obviously didn't take him seriously.
Looking at Hu Weiyong again, he found a place to sit down and was not prepared to talk to Liu Bowen.
The imperial doctor didn't say anything, so Gu Chen could only say: "Master Liu, you don't know that your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Empress are all thinking about your health."
"I heard that you were infected with wind and cold, so I immediately sent Hu Xiang, the lower officials and the imperial physician to see you. I hope you can recover as soon as possible."
He said this deliberately, just to let the imperial doctors around him know that the royal family valued him, and it was best not to listen to Lao Hu and do those little things behind his back.
If you kill someone, you may not be able to survive.
After saying that, he looked at the imperial doctor beside him and said, "Mr. Chen, please invite me."
The imperial doctors of the Ming Dynasty looked unreliable. Maybe they didn't know how to treat diseases themselves.
Prescribing medicine blindly and killing people is not necessarily true.
"Thank you."
Liu Bowen coughed a few times, stretched out his hand to the imperial doctor, and asked him to take his pulse.
Doctor Chen is an old man with a gray beard. I heard that his ancestors practiced medicine, and his skills should not be too bad.
I saw him checking his pulse, his expression starting from relaxed, then slowly frowning, and gradually became less good-looking.
If an ordinary person saw his expression, he would definitely be very anxious.
But Liu Bowen didn't care, his expression was very calm, as if he wasn't worried about his health at all.
After about a quarter of an hour, the imperial doctor took back his hand.
"Oh, Mr. Liu, it's just that the evil wind has entered the body and he occasionally felt cold. The official will prescribe some medicine and he will be fine after taking it."
No matter what the disease is, as long as the medicine is prescribed, if he can't die at that time, even if he has accomplished his mission, there is no evidence and there is nothing anyone can do against him.
Gu Chen: "..."
Since you said it was a minor problem, then who are you trying to scare by making an expression?
"Thank you, the doctor." Liu Bowen raised his head slightly and looked at Gu Chen: "I have read your paper for the imperial examination in the third year of Hongwu. The article is very well written, sharp and elegant, and the handwriting is also beautiful."
"The article highly praised Han Qi and Fan Gong, so it's no wonder they were admitted to the Yushitai."
These two are both upright people, and they have both served as officials and officials, so Lu Ben can be regarded as good at arranging people.
"I don't dare to take Mr. Liu's compliment seriously."
Liu Bowen and Gu Chen had a lively chat, leaving Hu Weiyong alone.
His face turned black with anger and he walked away directly.
After the imperial doctor put his foot down, he hurriedly left.
Gu Chen couldn't stay any longer, so he had no choice but to tell what his master said: "This imperial doctor is just His Majesty's concern for you."
"But this prescription was not prescribed by His Majesty. There is no guarantee whether it is good or not."
"Mr. Liu, it's up to you whether you want to eat or not. If you don't want to eat, it's okay not to eat."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very worried about you. I think he hopes you will return to Beijing."
"Mr. Liu, I have resigned."
What he can be sure of now is that Lao Zhu did not want to kill Liu Bowen.
If he wanted to kill, how could he send himself to guard him?
Liu Bowen looked at the prescription in front of him and pondered the meaning of Gu Yushi's words. After a moment, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Since it is His Majesty's wish, there is no reason to waste it."
If His Majesty can be alerted to Hu Weiyong, it would be worth it even if he loses his life.
Gu Chen's heart moved slightly when he heard this. He stood still and looked at him.
"Mr. Liu, a person can do anything while alive, but if a person dies, nothing can be done. Sometimes death cannot solve the problem."
After Hu Weiyong came out of Liu's house, he walked straight to the dock without any delay. After getting on the boat, he ordered people to sail directly.
"But Sir, Sir Gu hasn't returned yet..." Seeing him like this, the entourage said with some worry: "If we leave him in Qingtian, I'm afraid His Majesty will blame him."
The prime minister is the prime minister, and it is somewhat disrespectful to get angry with a minor official.
"Then just wait."
Hu Weiyong thought about this and thought about it, so he didn't leave in a hurry.
But there was a murmur in my heart, is there something treacherous about my face?
Why does everyone think Liu Bowen is good and he is a traitor?
"Prime Minister, tell me, Liu Bowen, can you use that prescription?"
The prescription was specially made and contained several rare herbs. If you take it, you will not die immediately, but will only suffer from unbearable abdominal pain.
Then gradually... it got weird...
"He will use it." Hu Weiyong looked at the river with a faint smile: "In order to bring me down, he will also use his tricks."
He would use his own death to make His Majesty no longer take him seriously.
"Then Mr. Xiang still..."
If you still want to give it, why bother? Why don’t you just ignore it?
Anyway, he is not serving in the court, so he cannot threaten the prime minister.
"Liu Bowen is of great importance to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Queen. Your Majesty has been waiting for his return."
"Officials in eastern Zhejiang also want him to go back..."
"Even if I'm betting, I still want him to die, but if he really takes that medicine and something happens, Your Majesty is not a fool, and he will naturally guess what he wants to do."
"Your Majesty hates people lying to him the most. This kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall will only make your Majesty unhappy and is good for us."
Liu Bowen was aloof and aloof, but His Majesty was not.
Your Majesty comes from a poor background, so he naturally loves and hates people like Liu Bowen.
"Wait, boatman, wait..."
Not far away, Gu Chen was running so hard that he almost lost his official hat. You must know that he didn't bring much money with him when he came out this time, not even a boat ticket was enough.
"snort."
Hu Weiyong looked at his image and couldn't help but snorted and shook his head.
"I really don't understand why His Highness the Crown Prince only promotes these unworthy people."
He is indeed the son of a beggar!
After that, he returned to the cabin, not wanting to meet Gu Chen at all.
It was a coincidence that Gu Chen was not willing to meet him, so he straightened his clothes and went back to his room.
He knew that he had completely offended Hu Weiyong this time.
But there is no way, if it catches Lao Zhu's eyes, then there is no way to avoid getting mud on your feet.
Then let's fight and find a way to step down Hu Weiyong as soon as possible.
Hu Weiyong's guess was correct. Liu Bowen wrote to the emperor a month later, saying that he felt worse after taking the imperial doctor's medicine.
"Pa, go and call Gu Chen."
Lao Zhu was a little angry. Since the more you eat, the worse it gets, then you should stop eating.
No one is forcing you to eat it. If you eat it, you have to write to me and tell me.
I don’t know why, but I just want to tell me, does Hu Weiyong want to harm you?
When Gu Chen came and read Liu Bowen's letter, his mind changed. He bowed down and told Lao Zhu without asking.
"Hu Xiang said that this is His Majesty's wish. I hope Master Liu will take it on time."
"Then Mr. Hu left. I told Mr. Liu that the imperial doctor was His Majesty's wish, not the prescription. It was up to him whether to take it or not."
"Then Mr. Liu said that His Majesty's wish is to eat it."
The real situation is that Lao Hu didn't say a word during the whole process.
But now that Lao Zhu has not set up a royal guard, and his eyes and ears are not that strong, it is okay for Gu Chen to make up a lie.
