my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 242 Smoke from Ancestral Graves
Zhu Di just confessed.

Turn back to see Empress Xu.

But found that Empress Xu suddenly became energetic.

Although not radiant, but also quite energetic.

Zhu Di felt relieved, and said, "King Zhao... is there no need to worry about his life?"

Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is already awake. He said that he has a knife wound on his body and needs to continue to observe, but... Hearing from Imperial Doctor Xu, his complexion is not bad, and he has gradually recovered a lot."

Zhu Dichang heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "I know, let me drive to Prince Zhao's Mansion to have a look. Has the Crown Prince gone to Prince Zhao's Mansion already?"

"Yes. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has heard the news, and will definitely visit His Royal Highness King Zhao."

Zhu Di nodded, and then glanced at Empress Xu.

Although Empress Xu was solemn, she couldn't hide her joy, and said to Zhu Di with a smile, "Your Majesty, there is nothing hindering me from my concubine's body."

This means that if Zhu Di goes to Prince Zhao's Mansion, she can do it too.

Zhu Di cheered up and said, "Go, let's have a look."

At this time, the depression in my heart was gone, swept away.

However, Zhu Di was also surprised in his heart, this disembowelment was actually useful?

In this way, isn't there a lot of diseases in the world that can be cured?
In the past, Zhang Anshi's treatment method still fell into the category of medicine after all, but the current treatment method is beyond Zhu Di's understanding.

And this just involves another question, that is, why did the emperors want to cultivate immortals?
In the beginning, the emperor practiced immortality, so to speak, in order to obtain longevity.

However, with the lessons learned from Qin Shihuang and many predecessors, no emperor would wish to think that he could really live forever.

However, the emperors of later generations still believed that even if they could not live forever by cultivating immortals, they could live long.

Because of this, the emperor who cultivated immortals still continued to follow suit.

Of course Zhu Di didn't really believe in this, but he was still very interested in the method of longevity.

Doesn't it seem that such a magical thing can make people live a long life?
In addition, what surprised him the most was that Zhang Anshi actually saved King Zhao... I thought... this kid would take revenge.

With a full heart, Zhu Di set off and took Empress Xu to Zhao Wangfu.

In King Zhao's mansion, the crown prince had already arrived and wanted to enter the wing room to visit King Zhao, but he didn't disturb him because King Zhao had already fallen asleep.

When he learned that Zhu Di was coming, he hurried forward to greet him.

Seeing Zhang Anshi, Zhu Di took the lead and said, "How is the situation?"

"His Royal Highness Zhao ate some rice porridge and has fallen asleep." Zhang Anshi said: "He needs to recover now, and it is good to rest more."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Remind me when I wake up."

"I have to go and see his wound."

"Go, go." Zhu Di said with a smile.

Zhu Gaosui's wound recovered without any problem. Perhaps because of the good weather or the effect of the medicine, the wound showed obvious signs of healing.

However, Zhu Gaosui's physical strength is also one of the most important reasons.

After all, he was young, and he knew that the emperor was good at bowing horses, so Zhu Gaosui did not exercise less on weekdays.

It's just that when the dressing was changed, Zhu Gaosui woke up.

Zhu Gaosui felt much more comfortable. Although the incision still hurt, he just opened his eyes and saw Zhang Anshi, but didn't say a word.

Zhang Anshi had a calm expression on his face, and rambled: "I will rest for a month, and change the dressing on time every day. In the past few days, I will eat more rice porridge. Starting tomorrow, I will add some meat soup to the rice porridge. After five or six days, I will kill you." A few chickens to eat, all in all, the diet should be richer and richer, and more chicken, duck and fish should be eaten. Keep it well, I don’t think there should be many problems now.”

Zhu Gaosui nodded with difficulty.

Zhang Anshi said again: "For three months, don't get close to women."

In fact, one month is almost enough, but Zhang Anshi still feels that it is not safe.

After finishing speaking, he told the Imperial Physician Xu at the side: "The good medicine has been prescribed, go out and tell them that the person is awake, if you want to visit, just come and see, but at most stay for a stick of incense."

Doctor Xu hurried out.

A moment later, Zhu Di, Empress Xu, Prince Zhu Gaochi and others filed in.

Zhang Anshi heard a familiar voice: "Third Uncle..."

Someone covered this person's mouth, so all that remained was: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Zhu Di lowered his head and looked at Zhu Gaosui who was on the couch. Zhu Gaosui's complexion was indeed much better.

Strange to say, when life and death were uncertain, Zhu Di was still worried, but now that Zhu Gaosui survived, he didn't have a good face.

Zhu Di only looked at Zhu Gaosui calmly: "How?"

This question was asked by Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister inspected the knife edge again, and there is no serious problem."

Zhu Di said: "Did you cut him open and take something out?"

Zhang Anshi said truthfully: "Yes, that thing is necrotic, if it stays in the body, it will only continue to rot, and over time, it will be life-threatening."

Zhu Di asked curiously, "What kind of medical theory is this?"

Zhang Anshidao: "Actually, the reason is very simple. We hurt our finger. The finger keeps festering. In order to prevent it from getting worse, the method of amputating the finger is usually used for treatment."

After this explanation, Zhu Di was able to understand, and immediately said: "Can the heart, liver, spleen and lungs of a person be amputated?"

Zhang Anshi said: "It depends on different situations. If it is the festering part of King Zhao, it is okay to cut it off. If it is an important organ such as the liver and lungs, you should be cautious. Of course, you can cut off a little bit of the lesion. The liver and lungs, like our hands and feet, have a certain self-healing function, just like our body will slowly heal after being injured, give birth to new flesh, or grow scars."

Zhu Di said: "I really didn't expect it to be like this. I have never heard of such a treatment method. If it weren't for Zhang Qing, this rebellious son would surely die."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaosui and said, "How is it?"

Zhu Gaosui was actually very happy, and said: "It hurts a little bit, but now... it seems to be relieved, comfortable."

The pain from the incision was nothing to Zhu Gaosui, even though the effect of the stinky pockmark soup had dissipated long ago, but compared to the pain from the appendix attack, Zhu Gaosui felt as if he had been reborn.This is no exaggeration, if it was said that Ling Chi suffered before, then now, it is just a rotten finger.

Zhu Di said, "It's fine if nothing happens."

"Father...Father Emperor..." Zhu Gaosui said: "I...I have a word, back then...that person who claimed to be a god...in fact...in fact, it was ordered by me..."

Zhu Gaosui looked fearful, but he still said: "When I went to visit the emperor, he told my minister that he had a way, but the Pope... died unexpectedly... for a while, I was blinded by eating lard and felt... ...Emperor brother...if it is gone, I can be the crown prince, so I agreed to it...My son...you are so confused..."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaosui coldly with his hands behind his back.

However, Zhu Gaosui was full of shame and seemed a little excited. He took a few hard breaths before he said: "These days, my ministers are not afraid of a single day, for fear that something will happen to the east window, and they will not be able to live well every day. Maybe this is the reason. I just gave birth to this serious illness. It's just that my son never thought that Brother Huang...he..."

Zhu Di suddenly said: "Do you know that your little tricks are actually more than your brother, even Zhang Anshi and I already know about it. Do you really think that goddamn god, he can survive the punishment?"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Gaosui was even more shocked. Everyone has a fluke mentality. He felt that Zhu Di's inaction must be because he had not discovered his behavior.

But when he knew, except himself, almost everyone knew that Zhu Gaosui did all of this.In an instant, I just wish I could get into the cracks in the ground in shame.

Thinking that even at this point, his imperial brother still came to visit him, Zhang An Shi still saved his life, thinking about it this way, he felt that he was really inferior to a pig and a dog.

He said with a look of shame on his face: "My son... I was so confused for a while, I deserve death. My son... I always think that I am smart, I think... other people are not as good as my son, and I am arrogant..."

Zhu Di said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you go to Beiping in the first place."

After Zhu Di arrived in Nanjing, he let his youngest son stay in Beiping.

The status of Beiping is very important. Not only is it the land of Longxing in the Yongle Dynasty, but it also restrains many nearby border towns. The political status of Beiping has also begun to stand out from the crowd. scribe.

At least in the eyes of people now, this Beiping is considered the capital of the north.

Therefore, the power in the hands of King Zhao is extremely great, and almost half of the northern affairs are handled by him.

Zhu Gaosui did a good job in order to please Zhu Di. The ministers of civil and military affairs in the north all favored him.

Because of this, in Zhu Gaosui's view, it is not necessarily impossible for him to replace the prince.

Zhu Di said: "As for your treatment, we will talk about it after you recover from illness."

"Yes, yes..." Zhu Gaosui said: "I have absolutely no complaints."

Zhu Gaosui immediately said: "A few days ago, my son was in so much pain that he was dying, but now he feels much more refreshed. This is all due to Zhang Anshi, and the imperial physician Xu..."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "It's enough if you want to. Where's Dr. Xu?"

Doctor Xu came out, feeling very excited. This time, he did not face His Majesty with fear.

Zhu Di looked him up and down, and said, "I didn't expect that you, a quack doctor, have some skills."

Imperial Physician Xu hurriedly said humbly: "It's all taught by Marquis Annan's precepts and deeds, I am really ashamed."

Zhu Di said: "I order you to be judged by the Imperial Hospital and take office immediately."

He is crisp.

Doctor Xu was surprised.

This is too hospital doctor, not just as simple as a medical officer.

It is not a medical institution at all.

To a certain extent, the entire Great Ming Tai Hospital involves not only the management of imperial doctors, but also the management of imperial medicine institutions such as the imperial pharmacy, raw medicine storehouse, Anletang, Pharmacy Bureau, Wangfuliang Medical Institute, and local medical institutions. medical education institutions, etc.Matters related to medicine in this world are usually carried out after being coordinated and handled by the Imperial Hospital.

Not only that, under the Tai Hospital, there are also permanent Huimin Pharmacy Bureau and Crude Medicine Bank. These institutions also have ambassadors, deputy envoys and other officials. These medical officers are generally appointed by the Tai Hospital.

That is to say, when ordinary people mentioned the imperial hospital, they thought it was just a group of imperial doctors who saw a doctor.

But in fact, it is equivalent to the responsibility of the Bureau of Medicine, the School of Medicine, and the Ministry of Health.

It has many responsibilities, such as the implementation of the emperor's medical edict, the recruitment, selection, dismissal of doctors, the dispatch of officials, royal medical services, the training and education of doctors, the management of other medical institutions, and so on.

And Tai Hospital set up an envoy of the fifth rank, followed by two judges of the Tai Hospital, who were the sixth rank.

This Imperial Physician Xu was originally an ordinary imperial doctor of the eighth rank, but he became the assistant officer of the imperial hospital directly, and directly became the sixth rank.

In the past, his responsibilities were only to treat illnesses in the palace, but now he has more responsibilities.

Doctor Xu thought for a while, but said: "Your Majesty, I am now... learning the method of curing diseases and saving lives, and I have no skills at all... This court sentence... has heavy tasks, and I am afraid that I will not be able to handle it..."

He replied cautiously, now that he has opened a new door, he naturally hopes to continue to improve his medical skills, and once he is promoted to a court judge, it is equivalent to becoming the management of the world's medical officials, and he will inevitably be entangled in mundane affairs.

Doctor Xu's words surprised Zhu Di again.

Zhang Anshi said happily from the side: "Your Majesty, what he said is modest. He just told the minister that he hopes to become an envoy or a judge of the Supreme Hospital! Can start to establish a brand new medical system to improve For the benefit of the common people."

Doctor Xu: "..."

Zhu Di smiled slightly and said: "These doctor birds don't want to learn, but want to learn from those scholars. They also do such things that they think about in their hearts, but they say no, don't want. Your mother's doctor Xu!"

Although Zhu Di said with a smile on his face, Imperial Physician Xu was so frightened that he trembled and dared not answer.

Zhang Anshi was happy for Dr. Xu.

It would be great if this guy became a great medical officer. Sooner or later, the medical system will have to be reformed. With such an insider as the doctor Xu, Zhang Anshi feels that he can use him to make drastic reforms.

Zhu Di said very proudly: "Let's do it like this. Xu Qing's family, don't refuse. If you dare to refuse again, and play tricks of hypocrisy with me, I will never forgive you."

Imperial Physician Xu had no choice but to bow down and said: "I accept the order."

Zhu Di said again: "Zhang Qing also contributed a lot. What I value is not Zhang Qing's medical skills, but Zhang Qing's benevolence. Hanging the pot to help the world is not only the duty of a doctor, but also the virtues that a minister should have. Zhang Qing is highly respected and bestowed upon him. He built a plaque for his kindness, and built a memorial archway for the Zhang family."

After Zhang Anshi heard this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, you can't do it. Although a gentleman is virtuous, he can't make a show of it. If this is the case, it will be against the way of a gentleman. I act without trying to gain fame..."

The implication is, can't you discount it and get something real?
Zhu Di said: "Okay, let King Zhao have a good rest and talk outside."

After everyone left the wing room, they came to a small hall in Prince Zhao's mansion, and Zhu Di took his seat.

Zhang Anshi stood aside and said enthusiastically: "Your Majesty, I think that it is most appropriate for Imperial Doctor Xu to make this court judgment. Now the doctors of the Ming Dynasty are of uneven level, and I think it is time to change it. My minister In my humble opinion, a medical school can be established to study the pharmacology of the world and compile a medical book. In addition, we should try our best to study the management and efficacy of drugs."

"After the results of the research, the Medical Codex and Pharmacopoeia were just compiled to formulate a unified method of curing diseases and saving lives. All doctors who practice medicine must also obtain the qualifications to practice medicine based on their understanding and familiarity with the Medical Codex and Pharmacopoeia."

Zhu Di listened, but said: "Why do you listen, you want to do the imperial examination again?"

Zhang Anshi smiled: "Don't dare, dare not, what I mean is..."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "You don't need to explain. You are good at medicine. Of course, you have the final say. I have had enough of those quack doctors in Taiyuan Hospital. Well... After you discuss this matter with Xu Qing's family, draw up a plan for me." Here comes the regulations. But everything has to be done step by step. If everyone has to take an exam to be qualified to practice medicine, then my Ming...doesn’t it mean that there is no doctor now? People in this world, who will go to see a doctor?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty is farsighted and far-sighted, but it is my minister's thinking that is lacking."

Zhu Di immediately sighed: "What do you think about King Zhao's matter?"

While speaking, he looked around.

Doctor Xu was very tactful, so he hurriedly bowed his hands and said goodbye.

The rest of the eunuchs and maids also retreated.

Apart from Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi, only Empress Xu, Yi Shiha, and the prince are left in the end.

Everyone looked at Zhang Anshi, Zhang Anshi said: "I think, Your Majesty must have an idea, why come to ask me?"

Zhu Di smiled and said, "You are also the one who suffers, so of course I still want to ask."

Zhang Anshi thought for a while, then said: "How about following the example of His Highness the King of Han?"

Zhu Di thoughtfully said: "It's not impossible, but can this kid do it?"

Zhang Anshi said: "It shouldn't be a problem for Zhao Wang to be able to guard Beiping and other places."

Zhu Di nodded: "This rebellious son has a lot of thoughts...not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty is worried about His Royal Highness King Zhao, why not... let King Zhao choose some civil servants he is familiar with, and let him go. In this way, there are so many virtuous ministers by his side to assist him , there will be no major mistakes."

Yishiha was listening, almost suffocating.

As far as he knows, His Royal Highness King Zhao...does have a good civil servant by his side.

These civil servants hoped to place their bets on Zhao Wang, and once Zhao Wang could succeed the Datong, they would be able to turn around.

This kind of thing is actually common. After all, Zhao Wang is indeed a relatively popular candidate for the throne. He guarded Beiping and managed half of the northern military affairs. Many people thought that this was His Majesty's test of Zhao Wang.

But... Zhang Anshi is too vicious.

If the king of Zhao moves out, he is still a prince after all. He just became a king from a prince. The foundation he laid is his own. Although it is hard work overseas, it can be regarded as starting a business.

But what are the ministers in the court planning?

Being an official in the court, he lived a good life, and he was also a decent Beijing official.But when he went overseas with King Zhao, he was also receiving a salary differently, but the person who received the salary in the past became a prince.

The most frightening thing is that after studying hard in the cold window, he was finally lucky enough to be an official in the imperial court. After so many years of qualifications, not to mention being like a fish in water, at least he has no worries about food and clothing.

But if you go overseas, you have to leave your hometown with your family, and you may never come back. This is simply exile, and it is worse than exile. Exile is only to go to Qiongzhou or Liaodong to be an official, and go overseas. Calling every day should not be called, and the earth and the earth are not working.

Since the king of Zhao wanted to move his vassal, he would definitely choose someone who he had good friends with and trusted in his daily life.

Who is Zhao Wangdang, whose ancestors are smoking, not the kind of smoke in the sense of Furui, but because the ancestors' coffin boards cannot be held down, and the ancestors have been so angry that the seven orifices smoke.

But... what Zhang Anshi said was high-sounding, it seems to be the same thing.

Your Majesty loves King Zhao.

You have such a good relationship with His Royal Highness King Zhao, and you often advise him on weekdays, and you are also court ministers, so you are loyal.

What's wrong with going to a difficult place with King Zhao?

It is impossible for you to go alone, because this is different from being an official in the imperial court. It is common to be an official in the imperial court without family members, because your family members are all under the rule of Ming Dynasty.

But moving the vassal means that you have changed from a minister of the court to a vassal of King Zhao, and the vassal king has become the king of Fanbang. Could it be that you went to Zhao to be an official and your family members stayed in Daming?Anyway, you won't come back for the rest of your life. The emperor will be sympathetic and give you a little more travel expenses. The whole family will definitely take it away.

Yishiha just felt his heart go cold, this piece of An Shi... really made people die.

After hearing this, Zhu Di said, "Is that so? I'm just afraid that some people won't go."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, there are many people who are close friends with His Royal Highness Zhao Wang. I think if they know and can follow His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, they must be very happy, overjoyed, and happy." It's too late, how could it be... refused to go?"

Having said that, there is actually no need to continue talking.

Because... makes sense.

Zhu Di seemed to hear the implication, and said, "That's a good idea. I feel sorry for King Zhao. He is my son, and I don't want him to stay away. But when the child grows up, he should be like his second brother and make contributions."

"It's just that he is young after all, so I really can't worry about it. Since there are many ministers who are inseparable with King Zhao, and they follow, I can rest assured that King Zhao is also at ease. This can be said to kill three birds with one stone, and it is good for everyone. , Zhang Qing is very thoughtful, this is the words of the country."

After that, he said: "Yi Shiha..."

Yi Shiha hurriedly said: "The servant is here."

Zhu Di said: "You have to study hard and take a look at others."

Yi Shiha said in his heart, this is not a school, it is too wicked, and it will kill Yang Shou.

But with a sincere look on his face, he said in his mouth: "Your servant must study hard and live up to His Majesty's expectations."

Zhu Di's eyes fell on Zhang Anshi again, and he said, "Zhang Qing, if King Zhao is a vassal, where is the best place to go?"

Zhang Anshi said: "It still depends on His Royal Highness Zhao Wang's wishes. If Zhao Wang has something he likes, it will be great. If not, His Majesty will decide."

Zhu Di hummed, and then said: "I really want to see the map of the world drawn by Deng Jian. The world is so vast. I want to choose a good place for King Zhao."

Zhang Anshi laughed dryly. In his heart, he hoped that it would be best for King Zhao to go to Siberia.

How about fooling him?
However, this is too wicked after all, for the sake of Zhao Wangsheng's tears today, if he did a great deed, let it go.

At this time, Zhu Di said again: "Yes, then Deng Jian...where is he now?"

"Your Majesty." Zhang Anshi said: "Eunuch Deng, you are now in Qixia's farm, playing with the crops."

Zhu Di has always been generous to those who have made meritorious deeds, and said conveniently: "He is a man of meritorious service after all. Originally... I hoped to let him go to Zhidian Supervisor and Shangbao Supervisor to be a eunuch with palm seals. At worst, he should be in the military battle bureau, bank Give him a errand in the bureau, the clothes bureau, the scarf and hat bureau... His position in the East Palace... has been replaced by others, but there are plenty of positions in the palace."

But Zhang Anshi said: "Eunuch Deng is keen on this, this is his wish."

Zhang Anshi seemed to be afraid that Deng Jian would run away, and immediately blocked the conversation by saying that he was keen on it.

After hearing this, Zhu Di just shook his head: "This Deng Jian... has a very weird temperament."

Yishiha was on the sidelines, but his heart skipped a beat when he heard it.

Deng Jian, he knew it, how could he know... Now that he has gotten to this point, how did Deng Jian offend Zhang Anshi?First, he was sent out to sea, and he narrowly escaped death. He came back alive, but Zhang Anshi tried his best to force him into the farmland.

Isn't this putting people to death?

Looking around the world, it is really unheard of for eunuchs to be as miserable as Deng Jian.

Yishiha couldn't help crying for Deng Jian in his heart, but Yishiha also knew that he couldn't speak for Deng Jian at this time. On the one hand, Deng Jian still belonged to the East Palace after all, and he couldn't intervene, which would be breaking the rules.

On the other hand, this is tantamount to directly confronting Zhang Anshi.

Looking at this guy Zhang Anshi, who is so vicious as to smoke, and all kinds of bad ideas are high-sounding, Yi Shiha feels that once he turns his face, he will not be able to sleep well in the future, and who knows when he will be slapped from behind brick.

Zhang Anshi said at this time: "Eunuch Deng's temperament is not weird at all, he is just loyal and loyal. He often tells his ministers that although he is disabled and can no longer be considered a real man, his majesty's grace will never be forgotten. , I must be willing to cut my whole body, and I must also share the worries for His Majesty. I have to do many important things that benefit the country and the people. Only then can I show my true colors as an eunuch. Eunuch Deng watched the minister grow up, and the minister...the minister...actually feels distressed he."

What Zhang Anshi said was sincere. When Zhu Di saw it, he couldn't help sighing: "Although this person is weird, he is also unique. Since he wants to be a farmer, let's teach him to take good care of the crops."

As he said that, Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yi told his ministers yesterday that he hopes to go overseas."

"Him?" As soon as Zhu Di mentioned King Yi, he immediately lost his temper. He gritted his teeth and said, "This guy is a gentleman on Liangshang. He has no skills. Even if he is out of town in Luoyang. I'm still worried about him, and he still wants to Going overseas? The local natives can eat him alive."

Zhu Di looked like he hated iron but not steel.

That guy... really doesn't look like a descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao.
