"Creak, creak, creak..." A carriage moved forward slowly among the crowds of people on the street.
In the carriage, an elegant man wearing a blue gown with treasure pattern was stroking the short beard under his chin while reading the medical book in his hand.
Looking from the side, it turned out to be a copy of "Suwen".
You can vaguely see the densely packed annotations on it.
More than ten years ago, Yang Shangshan, editor of Prince Yong's Mansion and a direct scholar of Hongwen Hall, was commissioned to write annotations and compile thirty volumes of "Huangdi Neijing Taisu", which is valued all over the world.
The man in green shirt on the carriage is Zhuang Ruoyun, the editor of King Yong, a disciple of Yang Shangshan, a direct scholar of Hongwen Hall, and the current text master of King Yong's Mansion.
At this moment, Zhuang Ruoyun was heading to the agreed restaurant.
Not long after, they had almost reached the agreed place. Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
Zhuang Ruoyun, who was concentrating on reading in the carriage, jerked forward and almost fell down.
Fortunately, he was the only one in the car and no one saw his embarrassed state.
"Zhuang Cheng, how do you drive?" Zhuang Ruoyun's face looked very ugly, and he directly opened the curtain. The next moment, he was stunned.
"What happened?" A group of people were seen on the street surrounding the bulletin board on the street, blocking the road ahead.
Two police officers from Dali Temple were posting a notice on it and reading loudly: "Today, Nanzhou drug dealer Zhou Pu was killed in Su's drug store. Anyone with clues can report it directly to Dali Temple. Once it is found to be true, There is also a reward of 10 yuan... Today, Nanzhou drug dealer Zhou Pu was killed in the Su family drug store. Anyone..."
Zhuang Ruoyun on the carriage frowned. How could he not know who Zhou Pu was?
That was the Nanzhou pharmacist who had made an appointment with him at the restaurant today. A very important medicinal material was brought from Nanzhou to Luoyang through his hands.
That medicinal material is very important, especially now...
"Quick, go to Sujia Medicine immediately...wait, no, no, turn around and go back to Prince Yong's Mansion."
Zhuang Ruoyun suddenly realized something, and immediately asked someone to turn the carriage around. He no longer went to Su's Pharmacy, nor to Dali Temple, but returned to Prince Yong's Mansion.
King Yong is Li Xian.
In today's Tang Dynasty, no matter how many things happened, the most important thing was still to cure the emperor's illness.
Li Xian has always been filial, and Yang Shangshan, the editor in his mansion and a direct bachelor of Hongwen Hall, is a master of medicine and has studied Feng Ji very deeply.
Since the late Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, wind disease has been a curse that has haunted the royal bloodline, including Emperor Gaozu and the late Crown Prince Li Hong.
Since more than ten years ago, Li Zhi's wind disease has become increasingly serious.
Despite careful diagnosis and treatment by numerous medical experts, his condition kept recurring and even showed signs of getting worse, which forced people to look for newer treatments.
I don't know how many doctors who specialize in treating this disease have been around the emperor, but they have never been able to completely cure it, and it always makes it worse and worse.
Zhuang Ruoyun was actually buying special medicinal materials from Nanzhou on behalf of his teacher Yang Shangshan this time.
Because of the special nature of the medicinal materials, special personnel must use special methods to transport them to Luoyang.
This time, Zhuang Ruoyun specially entrusted the drug dealer Zhou Pu to transport it all the way from Nanzhou to Luoyang, but now. The drug dealer Zhou Pu was already dead before he met anyone. This was so strange.
You should know that Zhuang Ruoyun had just received the news, and Zhou Pu had only just entered Luoyang in the morning, so it was impossible for him to have any personal disputes with other people.
In just a few hours, he had already reached the point where he was murdered and silenced, so there could only be one reason for his death.
That is related to medicine, to Prince Yong's Mansion, and to the emperor.
If Zhuang Ruoyun continued to go to the appointed restaurant as agreed before, then maybe he himself would be among the targets of being killed.
The announcement from Dali Temple just now was a deliberate reminder not to go to the agreed restaurant, but to Dali Temple. This was an obvious warning to him.
Not only that, the warning from Dali Temple also vaguely mentioned that even going to Dali Temple now may not be safe.
Extremely decisive, Zhuang Ruoyun returned to Prince Yong's Mansion, and he quickly informed Prince Palace Chief Shi Huangfu Gongyi about the relevant matters.
At this time, King Yong Li Xian is keeping vigil in the palace, King Yong is editing, and Yang Shangshan, a direct scholar of Hongwen Hall, is also in the palace.
Now the person who calls the shots in the entire palace is none other than the Chief of the Palace, Shi Huangfu Gongyi.
After the two discussed, they immediately invited Dai Xing, the young minister of Dali Temple, but they did not expect that Li Xuan would come with Dai Xing.
"I've met the prince." Zhuang Ruoyun and Huangfu Zhengyi were extremely surprised to see Li Xuan's appearance, and they clasped their hands and bowed slightly.
At this time, it is a sensitive moment for the government. King Yong Li Xian, King Ying Li Xian, Prime Minister Li Dan, and a large number of royal family members are now in the imperial city.
Especially the three in front, as brothers, cannot leave for a moment.
"According to the order of the Queen of Heaven, I supervised the murder of Master Yixing. Today I met a Nanzhou medicine dealer who died in the same condition as Master Yixing. After a detailed inspection, I found that he had an appointment with someone. We suspected that he had an appointment with someone. People may also be in danger, so I gave you a little warning, but I didn't expect it to be someone from Prince Yong's Mansion."
Li Xuan briefly explained the reason why he appeared here. After all, he was also the prince's uncle.
Especially today, when all the kings arrived in Beijing at the same time, Li Xuan did not go to greet them, but investigated the case with Dai Xing, which shows that the Queen of Heaven attaches great importance to this matter.
"Two gentlemen, I don't know what kind of medicinal materials Prince Yong's Mansion purchased from Nanzhou Pharmacy, and what diseases they were used for. Why are they being targeted?" Dai Xing stared at Zhuang Ruoyun and Huangfu Zhengyi, even if the latter Higher than his official position.
There was a deep worry in Dai Xing's eyes. He really didn't want to hear the answer he expected.
Zhuang Ruoyun and Huangfu Zhengyi looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces.
"What else could it be? Of course it is because of your majesty's wind disease. According to our investigation, there is a specialty medicinal material in Nanzhou that may be able to effectively help your majesty relieve his pain. Therefore, we asked someone to transport it from Nanzhou, but there was no I didn't expect to encounter something like this." Huangfu Gongyi smiled bitterly and spread his hands helplessly.
As the chief historian of Prince Yong's palace, Huangfu Gongyi is a very popular candidate for the next prime minister.
His predecessor, Liu Xiangdao, jumped from the position of chief historian of the palace to the position of minister of the Ministry of punishment. At the same time, he also became the governor of Pingzhang affairs and directly became the prime minister.
That was in the past, but now, King Yong Li Xian is very likely to be directly named the prince, and he, the chief historian of Prince Yong's palace, will immediately become the chief history of the prince.
But now, something like this happened suddenly, and the situation suddenly became complicated.
"To put it simply, this matter is because someone sabotaged Prince Yong's palace's search for medicine. To put it more seriously, it is because someone did not want His Majesty the Emperor's condition to improve, and even hoped that his condition would worsen. This is the same as assassinating the king. There is no difference between conspiracy and rebellion.”
Li Xuan looked at everyone present with a solemn face, her expression full of coldness.
Under the watchful eye of Queen Wu, the emperor's life is equivalent to Li Xuan's life. Anyone who wants to take the emperor's life is equivalent to taking Li Xuan's life.
Although Li Xuan had previously presented a bottle of Earth Dragon Qingjing Pill, it was hard to say how effective that bottle of medicine would be.
When this bottle of medicine is used up, it is natural to refill it with new medicine in a timely manner.
But now there are people who want to cause trouble at this time, so don't blame Li Xuan for being ruthless.
"What the prince said is true!" Huangfu Zhengyi and Zhuang Ruoyun stood up at the same time and looked at each other with solemn eyes.
In recent years, not just one or two people have tried to move up the ranks by helping the emperor cure his illness.
If you succeed here, the other side is likely to suffer setbacks, so it is normal to secretly sabotage one or two things.
It's just that the emperor's illness has been recurring for many years and has never been truly cured. Therefore, even if he was wary of others, he would not kill anyone, and he still killed two people in a row.
The most critical matter is still related to the Tao of Wusheng.
Li Xuan never expected that the father and daughter of the Su family he met before were actually members of the Demon Cult's Wusheng Dao.
Now if we want to solve the cases in front of us, it seems that we have to start with them.
It’s just that you don’t have to go through Dali Temple. ,,
