The next day, Yu Yanyi, who was the chief minister of the Zhou Dynasty cabinet and the first pillar of the sky, fell ill. This was not a trivial matter.
Although there are still three bachelors in the cabinet, the prestige of the remaining three is no longer comparable to that of the bachelor.
During the Jinyang Defense War, Yu Yanyi's reputation reached its peak both in court and among the people. In addition, Yu Yanyi's official voice was as bright as a mirror and as clear as water.
Yu Yanyi has become a model for a generation of wise ministers.
His political status has surpassed that of an ordinary monarch.
Only when the sea is flowing can one show his true qualities, and only by helping those in need can one be regarded as an unparalleled national hero.
After saving the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had all the power in the government and the opposition, but he did not take credit, was not arrogant, was not good at power, and was not dictatorial.
To exaggerate, he would be "unparalleled since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the first minister in five hundred years."
With such people around, even when the new and old generations of emperors change power, it will make people feel at ease.
But just a few months after the death of the late emperor, he fell ill. How could he not affect people's hearts?
Under such circumstances, it is reasonable to invite two great national players, Wan Mi Zhai and Li Bin Hu, to come for consultation.
However, although Yu Yanyi was the most important minister in the court, he never cared about his status. This time, he suddenly invited the two major hospitals of Tai Hospital for consultation, which was different from the past.
When Li Wan and Li Wan received Yu Yanyi's invitation, they still had doubts in their hearts. This behavior was not like Yu Yanyi's style, but they didn't think much about it and brought the medicine box to Yu Yanyi's house.
"Master Yu!"
"Lao Yu Ge!"
After the two entered the room, they discovered that Yu Yanyi was not actually sick.
Both of them were masters of basic medical skills. They were very proficient in reading, hearing and asking questions. They could tell at a glance that Yu Yanyi was not infected with the cold.
"Master Yu, this..."
Yu Yanyi stood up and said, "Please forgive me."
The two of them dare not talk to each other. Although both of them are national players in the current dynasty and are almost at the top of their fields, in terms of official rank, they are only from the fifth rank, so naturally they cannot compare with Yu Yanyi.
"Master Yu, what do you mean by this!?" Wan Mi Zhai, who was relatively well-off in official circles, immediately replied.
Li Binhu, who was standing next to him, immediately returned the greeting.
"Yu asked you two to come here this time. He really has something secret to inquire about, so he had no choice but to resort to this method."
"If you have any questions for me, sir, just ask, and we will definitely tell you everything you know."
Li Binhu also nodded in agreement according to Wan Mi Zhai's words.
Then Yu Yanyi took the two of them to the bookcase, "I hope you won't tell anyone what Yu is going to say after listening to it, otherwise if someone knows about it, I'm afraid it will implicate you two. "
Regarding the two major national players, Yu Yanyi did not put on any airs, but instead called himself Yu.
Li and Wan looked at each other, and Wan Mi Zhai immediately said, "Don't worry, Master Yu. Whatever happened today will never come out of Master Yu's mouth or come into my ears. No one else will know about it."
"Then I will speak frankly! May I ask you two, on the night of the late Emperor Bintian, who was staying in the Imperial City to take care of His Majesty?"
Wan Mizhai and Li Binhu did not expect that this first question would be so explosive, and both of them had a look of shock in their eyes.
Since Yu Yanyi is asking this question here, it means that he has doubts about the affairs of the late Emperor Bintian.
I found them both just to clear up my doubts.
"The person on duty that day was Dr. Zhao from the Imperial Hospital." After Wan Mi Zhai finished speaking, Yu Yanyi was puzzled by this answer.
The former Emperor Taizongwen was in danger of death, and his life was in danger at any time like a gossamer falling from a thousand pounds.
At this time, it's not the time for one of Li Binhu and Wan Mi Zhai to stay?
Li Binhu didn't know if he saw Yu Yanyi's doubts, so he added.
"I was supposed to stay overnight that night, but because I was busy for three consecutive days, I felt exhausted, so I asked Dr. Zhao to help me stay overnight."
"Huh?! Is the hospital so busy with official duties?!"
Since ancient times, medicine and martial arts have not been separated. Even though Li Binhu and Wan Mi Zhai are two old men, they are both Yuanhua realm warriors with deep true energy, but they are not as aggressive as ordinary warriors and lack practical combat experience.
It must be an extremely complicated matter to make Li Binhu feel exhausted.
"Master Yu was joking, what official business can our hospital have? It's just that I accidentally got a lot of uncommon herbs. In order to identify the properties of the herbs and implement medical theory, I took advantage of them just after they were picked to study them. "
There is a difference between Li Binhu and Wan Mi Zhai. Although Wan Mi Zhai is a master of medicine, he still has ambitions for an official career. The location of Taiyuan Hospital is one of the reasons for retaining Wan Mi Zhai.
But Li Binhu is different. He has no intention of power or wealth. What he wants more is to reorganize the Materia Medica so that his name will be passed down through the ages and benefit the world. The reason why Li Binhu has been working in Taiyuan Hospital is to borrow the resources of Taiyuan Hospital to rewrite Materia Medica.
However, something strange appeared in Yu Yanyi's ears when he heard these words.
Maybe for Li Binhu, getting those herbs was accidental, but to Yu Yanyi, this "unintentional" thing was really a coincidence.
How come these herbs are available on this day? ! Why did the emperor pass away on this day? !
It was a thoughtful person who specifically did not want Li Binhu to be present, and what would happen if Li Binhu was present.
At this juncture, nothing could happen accidentally.
How can there be so many coincidences in this world? !
"Since you two were not in the palace that night, I won't ask about this matter. However, I still have a pill here, and I would like to ask you to taste it."
After saying that, Yu Yanyi took out a jade bottle from the drawer of the bookcase.
"Look, you two!"
Wan Mizhai and Li Binhu took the jade pendant handed from Yanyi and opened it, and a fresh but rich medicinal fragrance hit their nostrils.
The two of them were stunned when they smelled the fragrance of the medicine.
Yu Yanyi also noticed something unusual about the two of them and asked.
"Boy, is there something wrong with this pill?!"
Li Binhu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know where Master Yu got this elixir. It's not as simple as a problem, it's a huge problem."
After plugging the stopper of the jade bottle, Wan Mi Zhai explained, "The medicinal materials used in this elixir include Thousand Years Vine, Young Fruit... Jade Ice Leaf, etc. They are all extremely precious medicinal materials, and their pharmacological properties are perfectly integrated. . But at the end of the day, there were some flaws.”
Li Binhu on the side finished his attack and said, "So although this elixir still has good medicinal properties, it is truly a useless elixir."
At this time, the completely different styles of Li Binhu and Wanmi Zhai became apparent.
High emotional intelligence: "The medicinal ingredients are good, the medicinal properties are good, and there are no flaws at the end."
Low EQ: "This is a waste pill."
In order to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, Wan Mi Zhai coughed lightly and said, "I wonder where did Master Yu get this thing?!"
"This is refined by Medicine King Sun Shichang."
Li Wan and Li Wan had a look of surprise in their eyes. If it were Sun Shichang, it would make sense.
This person's control over pharmacology is unparalleled in the world, and even if the elixir is exhausted, it can still have a certain effect.
"This elixir is called Tianchang. Have you two heard of it?"
“Tianchang Pill?!
"
When Li Wan and Li Wan heard this, they both exclaimed...

Hulong Villa.
Zhu Wuwu was watching the summary of intelligence in the capital in the past few months.
His newly crowned nephew does have some talent, but not much.
The new king Zhu Zhankun ascended the throne for the first time. Within five months, he showed determination and forge ahead, and made changes in all aspects of military and political affairs to reflect his ability to govern the country and his diligence.
Little did he know that these actions of his made people in Gyeonggi Province fluctuate.
Originally, the alternation of old and new power was the time when the young master of the country was in doubt.
Emperor Zhou governed the world very well. When he died, people in the world would naturally miss him, but at the same time they would also worry about whether the new emperor who succeeded him could do a good job.
Under such an external environment, Zhu Zhankun frequently changed state affairs.
If Yu Yanyi, Qian Muqian, Zhao Mengke and other important officials had not dissuaded him, he would have even wanted to change the taxation of water transportation.
It should be noted that governing a big country is like cooking small dishes.
A small policy at the national level may have a huge impact on people's lives.
Frequent national policies like his will only make people busy adapting to new national policies, and even make people's livelihood exhausted.
Xiao Gui and Cao Sui are not necessarily a kind of political vision and political courage.
The behavior of this new king has already made the hearts of the civil and military officials fluctuate. After reading the intelligence summary, Zhu Wuli couldn't help but shake his head.
"Brother Emperor, you have been wise all your life, but I didn't expect that when it comes to choosing a prince, your vision is surprisingly poor."
On Zhu Wuli's book, there is not only information from Gyeonggi, but also information from Yancheng.
My fourth brother, Zhao Wangkai, also started to act frequently.
During the battle to destroy the Jin Dynasty, the Ulliangha tribe, which was recruited by King Zhao, had been trained as cavalry by him.
The battle of Tumu Fort in the north not only did not damage King Zhao's power, but also allowed King Zhao to strengthen his control over northern Youzhou after regaining the lost territory.
When the late Emperor was here, King Zhao did not dare to rebel even if he had different intentions, but now that the new king is acting like this, he is encouraging King Zhao's ambitions.
Thinking of this, Zhu Wuwu suddenly had a string of fire in his heart.
King Zhao is a descendant of Taizu Emperor Gao, and so is he.
Since King Zhao is also qualified to sit in this position, then he...
Before that, although Zhu Wuwu occasionally thought about how he would govern the country after he sat on the throne? But that's just random thinking.
Just like the mortals in Blue Star, they sometimes wonder how to spend it after winning the 100 million grand prize.
This imagination is unfounded.
But now, Zhu Wuwu is really thinking about it.
He can replace it.
--------------------------
East Factory.
Cao Zhengchun, who returned to Dongchang, was thinking about Yu Yanyi's purpose.
Eunuch Cao has an unspeakable desire for power.
The physical disability made the eunuchs more eager for gold, silver and power. Eunuch Cao had no interest in money, but power was a poisonous wine that was extremely tempting to Eunuch Cao.
What Factory Director Cao couldn't accept the most was that he was no longer the number one eunuch.
Yuhuatian can already match him, or even surpass him.
Unlike civil servants and military officials, eunuchs had the power to resist imperial power to a certain extent.
The existence of the eunuch group was completely dependent on the imperial power. Except for the eunuch who was in charge of the imperial army in the late Tang Dynasty, there was no eunuch who could cause any big disturbance.
Yuhuatian had already defected to Xinjun before Cao Zhengchun returned to Beijing. This kind of early joining the team was risky but more profitable.
As a result, Yuhuatian, who received the fruits of victory, still surpassed Cao Zhengchun in status and influence among eunuchs.
If it weren't for Dongchang's strong foundation, Cao Zhengchun's martial arts would be better than Yuhuatian's, and now Cao Zhengchun would not be qualified to compete with him.
Director Cao was irritable, but as soon as he entered the study, Director Cao discovered something that made him even more irritable.
Pi Xiaotian was sitting on his bookcase.
This behavior is not very harmful, but it is extremely insulting.
"Pi Xiaotian, do you want to die?!"
Dongchang stall scalper Xiaotian, who was originally submissive to Governor Cao, was not panicking at this moment.
"Lord Governor, you are back! It's so late, where have you been!?"
Pi Xiaotian seemed not to notice Cao Zhengchun's anger, but instead questioned Cao Zhengchun's whereabouts.
This made Cao Zhengchun feel that things were not that simple.
However, Cao Zhengchun did not show surprise on his face. Instead, he still looked annoyed and angry.
"Since you want to die, this governor will help you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun's extremely powerful Tiangang Boy Kung started to work!
Seeing this, Pi Xiaotian knew that he had gone too far, so he immediately stood up and said, "Supervisor, wait a minute!"
"Do you have any last words you want to say?!"
"Master, this servant belongs to His Majesty!"
Cao Zhengchun sneered, "Who is not His Majesty's servant?! We are all the Emperor's slaves!"
Seeing that Cao Zhengchun was really going to take action, Pi Xiaotian immediately took out his official certificate and identity token.
"Master Governor, I have been appointed by Long Live as the Superintendent of Shangshan, and I am also responsible for the procurement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
After hearing this, Cao Zhengchun dispersed the strong palm power gathered in his palms and took the token and official credentials.
Seeing Cao Zhengchun dissipate his palm power, Pi Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief.
If the palm just hit him, his internal organs would be shattered, and the word "death" would not be able to escape.
Pi Xiaotian wanted to slap himself at this moment. What a shame had he done! Come here to provoke Cao Zhengchun.
In case he is furious, he will kill him with the help of wine without looking at the token and official credentials.
The emperor may not stand up for him, maybe he will applaud secretly. After all, the dead are always the safest.
After reading it, Cao Zhengchun said in a low voice, "Pi Jianzheng, you move so fast! Without saying a word, you have already gained the attention of the new king. You must support our family more in the future!"
Yin-Yang is basically a compulsory subject for eunuchs. As the leader of Dongchang, Cao Zhengchun still passed the Yin-Yang language.
With the lesson just learned, Pi Xiaotian didn't dare to jump anymore, not even Dao.
"Master Governor, you know me. I am interested in power, but I also like money. That's why Long Live appointed me to be in charge of the Food Supervisor, responsible for the procurement matters in the palace. It is a tacit agreement that I can make money from it."
The procurement position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not high, but the salary and salary are sufficient.
It was the position that suited Pi Xiaotian's heart the most. He didn't have to hold up a knife to fight and kill, his prestige was not diminished, and he could still earn enough money.
Cao Zhengchun also knew that Pi Xiaotian was always a good person, and his favorite thing was gold and silver treasures. This was why Pi Xiaotian was not the second in the Dongchang in martial arts, but he was able to become the second in command of the Dongchang.
Because people like him are easy to control.
"Pi Jianzheng, you are here late at night, are you just here to show off your position?"
Pi Xiaotian had a flattering look on his face, "No way! Lord Governor, I'm here to give you a fortune!"
