Zhu Feng's language seemed long-winded, and many people were not in the mood to listen to his detailed experiences.
Xie Qian couldn't help but stepped out and interrupted him: "Zhu Qianshi, I heard you say that it was a prophecy and cure-all medicine obtained by the alchemist. Have you ever asked him personally?"
Zhu Feng was startled, and he said very matter-of-factly: "It was Zhang Jieyuan who conveyed the message, and he also sent the medicine."
Xie Qian said: "Jiangnan Township Examination Jie Yuan actually listens to the words of alchemists. It seems that he is not a truly talented person."
Zhu Feng was unhappy with what Xie Qian said.
Zhu Feng argued with reason: "This old gentleman, you can't say that. I will trust him not because he is Jieyuan, but because his words are reasonable. The Jianghuai floods and the rising prices in Nanjing were also behind his back." The expert calculated it. If you suspect that there is something wrong with this medicine, tell me the truth. Zhang Jieyuan and I have personally used the medicine many days ago. We passed through the Huanghuai disaster area on the way up from the north to the north. There were frequent epidemics along the way, but there were no accidents along the way. He is not infected with the disease and his lower body is fine."
"shut up!"
When Zhu Fu saw his son getting into trouble, he actually started arguing with Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar. He couldn't help but want to teach his son a lesson.
Zhu Fu knelt down, kowtowed to Zhu Youtang and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not teaching my son properly. I am usually busy with military matters and neglected to cultivate and teach him."
The military honors of the Ming Dynasty were not as good as before after the Tumubao Incident. Although they were in the same hall as the cabinet ministers, in terms of status, Zhu Fu was not even worthy of carrying Xie Qian's shoes.
Zhu Youtang said with a stern face: "Mr. Cheng, get up first. Before it's time for you to blame yourself, I still have something to ask your son."
"yes."
Zhu Fu got up from the ground.
Zhu Youtang said to Zhu Feng: "Zhu Qing's family, you are saying that because of the Jianghuai floods, prices in Nanjing have risen, right?"
"Yes." Zhu Feng has no political acumen, let alone rules. He doesn't know what can and cannot be said in the court. "Before I left Nanjing, the price of rice was more than three times the usual price. What is it now?" I don’t know what it looks like.”
"Um."
Zhu Youtang nodded without comment.
Li Dongyang came out and said: "Your Majesty, there were indeed reports of rising food prices in Jiangnan."
Zhu Youtang ignored Li Dongyang's words and continued to ask Zhu Feng: "Where is the medicine?"
Zhu Feng immediately took out a porcelain vase from his arms and showed it to the people present: "Here it is."
"Zhongqing's family, do you think I can use this medicine on the little princess?"
Zhu Youtang looked to one side at Zhong Lan, the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital.
At this time, the ministers present realized that the emperor was really ill and sought medical treatment. They began to ask experts for their opinions. Most of the emperor was inclined to choose medication.
But when you think about it, it makes sense.
The emperor originally believed in the words of the Taoist alchemists, and with Zhu Feng and a provincial official named Jieyuan acting as guarantors, the emperor loved his daughter so much that he had no other options...
"Your Majesty, you must not do this! The origin of such things is unknown. If the princess is harmed..."
Of course Zhonglan couldn't let the emperor give medicine to the princess.
It has nothing to do with whether this medicine is really effective. The hospital staff of Taiyuan Hospital seem to be doctors who treat diseases and save lives, but they are still politicians. Politicians only talk about games. Even if this medicine is really effective and can bring the dead back to life, that does not mean that Taiyuan Hospital. Incompetent?
If the people at Taiyuan Hospital were dedicated to treating illnesses for the royal family, how did the three emperors Chenghua, Hongzhi, and Zhengde "die young"?
Zhu Youtang said: "If we don't use medicine, do you have any better strategies for treating diseases?"
The emperor's tone was majestic. Zhu Youtang, whom the ministers present usually saw, looked like a melon. He was out of breath and spoke in a gentle voice. Probably only the emperor could shake such a tone when it came to important matters concerning the life and death of family members. Spirit.
If the ministers present had a strategy for preventing and controlling smallpox, they would have spoken out long ago.
It didn't happen before, and it won't happen now.
Dai Yi, who was on the side, heard the key to the problem. He walked out from the emperor's side and said, "Your Majesty, I have old bones and am willing to test the medicine with myself."
The ministers present were surprised again.
You Dai Yi really dare to play!
From what you Dai Yi said, although you did not explicitly say that you intend to use the medicine on the little princess, since you are willing to try the medicine, does that mean that as long as you use the medicine and there is no problem, you can use the medicine on the little princess?
"Um."
Zhu Youtang nodded.
"Your Majesty..." Chief Minister Liu Jian wanted to say something more, but Zhu Youtang stretched out his hand to interrupt him.
Dai Yi walked down from Danbi and came to Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng took out a goose feather from his arms. He was like a young boy showing off his skills. He explained to the people present: "This is the feather of a white goose. It is hollow in the middle. The medicine is to be used in it. In this way, the medicine is delivered." If you get into someone's arms, please kindly ask me to roll up your sleeves."
Dai Yi looked back at the emperor. It was disrespectful to roll up his sleeves in the palace hall.
But seeing that the emperor made no comment, he rolled up his sleeves.
Zhu Feng then "pricked a needle" in Dai Yi's arm according to what Zhang Zhou taught him. In order to prevent the dose of medicine from being insufficient, he used a few more injections.
After the medication was finished, the hall was extremely quiet.
Everyone was staring at Dai Yi, and some were probably still wondering when this guy would suddenly fall down and twitch...
After waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
"Eunuch Dai, are you okay?" Xie Qian came out and asked.
Xie Qian always had a lot of witticisms, so no one thought it was strange that he interrupted with questions.
Dai Yi nodded with a forced smile on his face. He was also wary of using this medicine of unknown origin, but he felt that Zhu Feng would not lie to him. If Zhu Feng and Zhang Jieyuan really wanted to harm the princess...
Do they think the head is too heavy on their neck?
"It's okay." Dai Yi replied to Xie Qian first, and then thinking of his own fault, he quickly said to Zhu Youtang, "Your Majesty, there is nothing strange."
Zhu Youtang said: "Take the medicine first."
Dai Yi took the medicine from Zhu Feng and also took the extra quill.
Zhu Youtang said to Zhonglan: "Find the imperial doctor and use the medicine on the princess."
"Your Majesty!" Zhong Lan's attitude was very firm, probably because he wanted to fight to the end.
When Dai Yi saw this, he immediately realized that the people from Tai Hospital were not suitable candidates for taking the medicine. If he went to find people from Tai Hospital, he might not be able to cause any trouble.
He was now on the verge of riding a tiger, and took the initiative to ask for help: "Your Majesty, I have seen Zhu Qianshi's method of using medicine, so I personally went to use medicine for the little princess. I watched the little princess grow up, and I didn't want her to... well!"
As he spoke, Dai Yi still had tears in his eyes.
The affection and affection made people feel that the reason why Dai Yi took the initiative to bring up this matter, take the initiative to test the medicine, and even offered to plant the medicine for the little princess was all because of his feelings for the little princess.
Not to mention Zhu Youtang, even the ministers present felt inexplicably moved when they saw this.
"Okay!" Zhu Youtang seemed to have finally found someone who cared about his daughter as much as he did, and nodded happily, "It's rare. Good job!"
Dai Yi wiped his tears, kowtowed to Zhu Youtang, took the vial, left Fengtian Hall, and went to the West Hall of Kunning Palace.
…
…
The court meeting was dissolved.
Zhu Fengzhi was so proud that he followed his father out of Fengtian Hall with his head held high, but he didn't realize that his father was a little unsteady on his feet when he walked.
When they were approaching Donghua Gate, most of the ministers were in groups. Zhu Fengcai smiled and said to Zhu Fu: "Father, did I disappoint you?"
"Snapped!"
Zhu Fu turned around and hit Zhu Feng in the face with a big ear-scratcher.
"Father?"
Zhu Fengren was dumbfounded.
I touched my face, I was really beaten.
pain!
I work for the family, and my father doesn't appreciate it. Why do I still beat him?
Zhu Fu said angrily: "You evil son, you beast! How many troubles do you usually cause? How dare you do this kind of thing? Do you know how many people's heads will be moved if something goes wrong?"
Zhu Feng said: "Isn't this okay?"
"Do you think that Eunuch Dai was fine on the scene and will be fine in the end? Every princess has her own strengths and weaknesses, whether it was because of you or not, you will definitely take the blame!"
"Then father, if the princess's illness is cured by me, does the credit also belong to me?"
"Bastard! You..."
Zhu Fu prepared to fight again.
But at this moment, an official came here, and Zhu Fu could only resist the urge to teach his son a lesson for the time being.
The father and son arrived at the gate of the palace. Zhu Fu was about to leave in his carriage. Zhu Fu said to the servants of Duke Chengguo: "Take this traitor back to the palace and keep him under strict guard. After he takes over the post, he will be sent back to Nanjing. He will not be allowed to leave the house within a year." One step closer to home!”
"Father……"
"roll!"
