There are also those officials of fourth rank and above. Lao Zhu has met most of them and has frequent exchanges with them. They are all old acquaintances.
These people pretended to be upright and good officials in front of him and deceived him.
Then, he must deal with them personally to relieve his anger.
Especially that Xue Dafang, he had to give him the death penalty.
Xue Xian’s adopted son?
joke!
Even if Xue Xian himself comes, Zhu Yuanzhang will still kill him without fail.
"Grandpa Huang."
At this time, Zhu Xiongying, who was almost eight years old, ran in crying. He grabbed Lao Zhu and Biao'er's big hands and said anxiously.
"Grandpa Huang, please go and see grandma quickly. Grandma refuses to take medicine and refuses to say anything. Dad should go and persuade grandma."
He heard others say that if people don't take medicine when they are sick, they will leave their loved ones.
Grandma was the best to him. She would watch him read, make clothes for him, and cook delicious food for him. He couldn't bear to see her leave him.
The father and son looked at each other and saw anxiety in each other's eyes.
Without saying anything, they put down the memorial and rushed to Kunning Palace.
In fact, Queen Ma had been ill for two months. Since she was diagnosed with dysentery by the imperial doctor, which was difficult to cure, she refused to take medicine.
"This is an incurable disease. If I don't eat well, won't it cost other people's lives?"
"Since I have this disease, it means that this is my destiny. It doesn't matter whether I take medicine or not. I won't take it!"
The medicines prescribed by Tai Hospital are generally very mild, although they are said to not be able to cure people.
But it can't cure people, and at most it can keep you alive.
So if Queen Ma is willing to take medicine, it shouldn't be difficult to extend her life by a few months.
But Queen Ma didn't do it. She didn't want to live a few more months and still die, causing trouble for the imperial doctor and causing more families to cry.
In the eyes of the imperial power, these imperial doctors were nothing, but when they returned home, they were the pillars of the family and even the clan.
"Sister, can you be obedient?"
Lao Zhu, who was decisive in killing outside and making countless corrupt officials frightened by the news, was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed wiping away tears.
He coaxed in a good-natured voice: "I promise you that if you are successful, as long as you are willing to take medicine, no matter whether we can cure you or not, why don't we not kill them?"
Queen Ma shook her head, then weakly stretched out her hand to hold Lao Zhu and complained.
"You promised me back then that you would not kill Xiao Ming Wang and let him live a prosperous life."
Couple for life.
Doesn’t she still understand the virtues of her husband?
He said that he would not kill him, but he turned around and killed him directly.
"We didn't kill him."
Lao Zhu naturally refused to admit it and just blurted out a big blame.
"It's all that bastard Liao Yongzhong who made his own decisions. Didn't we explain it to you already? Why don't you trust your own man?"
"Sister, be obedient and take this medicine, okay?"
Queen Ma looked up at her husband, and finally shook her head gently.
"You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. We both know how Xiao Mingwang died. Chongba, promise me."
"If I die, let those imperial doctors go."
Look, everyone is trembling with fear, how pitiful!
There is also Liao Yongzhong, who followed his husband to conquer the world in the fifteenth year of his reign.
He is loyal, otherwise, it would be impossible to send him to do this.
However, he made things too obvious. After being awarded the title, he secretly became friends with Yang Xian. The intersection of civil and military affairs was a taboo for emperors.
If it hadn't been for Gu Chen, the censor, Liao Yongzhong would have gone down to see the King of Hell long ago, right?
"We won't argue with you about this~"
Zhu Yuanzhang was just halfway through what he said when he suddenly remembered.
Didn't Gu Chen and Doctor Xiao get something to cure an old man suffering from dysentery?
Lao Zhu immediately put down the medicine bowl and looked at Zhu Biao who was wiping away tears and asked.
"Has Divine Doctor Xiao arrived in the capital?"
Xiao Jiuxian returned home in March, and Queen Ma's condition worsened five days ago.
Lao Zhu asked someone to summon him to Beijing again, but after all, carriages and horses are relatively slow. It takes ten and a half days to come and go. How can it be so fast?
"Why did it take so long?" Lao Zhu was so anxious that he coaxed his wife: "Mother-in-law, don't be anxious. You know the skills of the miracle doctor Xiao."
"We heard that he cured an old man who suffered from dysentery. He will definitely be able to cure you. Sister, nothing will happen to you."
"We can't bear to leave you, you can't leave before us, you have to be nice~"
"If you leave first, we will send these imperial doctors and the old brothers you want to protect to be buried with you."
I had nothing back then, so I thought I wouldn't be able to find a wife.
Unexpectedly, when he got married, his wife was a nice person. She ate big flour cakes for him, gave birth to a son for him, accompanied him through difficult times, and gave him advice.
He didn't dare to think about how he would live the rest of his life without his sister.
Although he has many wives, how can they compare with the girls?
"Your Majesty, don't lie to me. How can dysentery be cured?"
Having said that, Queen Ma still had hope in her eyes.
If possible, she would also like to live longer and spend more time with His Majesty and the children.
"Really, have we ever lied to you before?"
Lao Zhu told Gu Chen and Xiao Jiuxian how to cure the old man.
It's just that he hasn't tried it, so he just wants to be on the safe side.
It would be better to wait for Xiao Jiuxian to come to Beijing and personally diagnose and treat the girl.
Empress Ma kept it in mind silently, if she could come back from the gate of hell this time.
In addition to Xiao Jiuxian, his savior also has Gu Chen.
In fact, when the news spread that Queen Ma was seriously ill, everyone in the capital couldn't sit still. They all hoped that Queen Ma would live well.
Nobles and nobles, as well as civil servants, whether they believed in gods or Buddhas, prayed for Queen Ma.
Some of those who had been favored by Empress Ma even said that they were willing to shorten their lives by ten or twenty years as long as the Empress would be well.
Even if my parents are seriously ill, I don't see them being so pious.
Xiao Jiuxian didn't even get on the carriage. He was carried back to the capital by Jin Yiwei on a horse. The twelve-day round trip only took eight days.
He vomited until the sky was dark, but no one cared about him. They carried him to Kunning Palace.
When he arrived at Kunning Palace, he was carried to the bedside by the emperor and the prince.
Although Xiao Jiuxian felt uncomfortable, he could understand the mood of the patient's family.
I had to feel my pulse first, and then let out a long sigh of relief. The disease was indeed serious.
Fortunately, Queen Ma is younger than the uncle, so the situation is relatively good.
"Thirty pounds of garlic first~"
With the first patient cured, the young and bold Xiao Jiuxian did not panic at all.
Everything happened step by step, even in front of the emperor, there was no pressure at all.
When drinking the medicine, the emperor happened to be away. Queen Ma looked at the medicine in front of her and hesitated, then asked softly.
"Can my disease really be cured?"
If it doesn't get better, she doesn't want to implicate the miracle doctor Xiao.
"Yes, your Majesty." Xiao Jiuxian simply said with astonishment: "When the doctor doesn't give up on the patient, I hope your Majesty won't give up on herself either."
The most fearful thing about illness is not that the doctor is not good, the most fearful thing is that the patient has no desire to live.
"I see."
Queen Ma took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp, but she still felt a little uneasy.
If he really couldn't recover, would Chongba kill Doctor Xiao and Gu Chen?
It seemed that she had to think of a way to leave some life-saving things for these two people.
But obviously she was overthinking it. Two days after taking the medicine, she obviously felt much better, which showed that the medicine really had some effect.
"Good, great good. From now on, dysentery is no longer an incurable disease."
Queen Ma's health improved day by day, the emperor's complexion also improved, and the ministers' hearts fell back into their stomachs.
Lao Zhu rarely showed mercy and pardoned some of the death row prisoners who were dragged down by his tribe.
Of course, this does not include Fujian!
"Gu Chen is a good boy." After his wife got better, Lao Zhu became more and more satisfied with Gu Chen: "The house in Tujie was not given to him in vain. Now I hope that he can come back from Fujian with all his beard and tail." .”
Hearing this, Zhu Biao, who was still smiling, immediately asked seriously.
"Dad, what is hope? He can come back with all his beard and tail?"
Something's going on here.
Lao Zhu's expression was indifferent: "That idiot Xue Dafang wanted to kill the censor, so we didn't let anyone kill him, we just wanted to use his trick."
"To catch corrupt officials we only need evidence, and to quell rebellion we only need positions and soldiers. What we think is that using this excuse to launch a purge in Fujian will reduce public resentment."
Therefore, whether several censors can survive depends entirely on luck.
Oh, and the son of the prince, is this enough?
He just didn't expect that Gu Chen saved the girl's life, so he held his hands guiltily.
"Boss, don't tell your mother."
Hearing this, Zhu Biao was stunned for a while, feeling angry and helpless at the same time.
"Dad, you, alas!"
Zhu Biao didn't know what to say, so in the end he just rolled up his sleeves and went to find Jiang Wei.
Gu Chen must be notified of this matter as soon as possible.
Lao Zhu looked at the old man's back and felt guilty for the first time.
I hope Gu Chen is fine, as long as he comes back from Fujian well.
I must make it up to him!
