In an instant, everyone looked at the little emperor and the leader Fan Chunren with careful eyes.

The young emperor Zhao Xu admired his late emperor Song Shenzong very much. Once, Zhao Xu often used an old table, and Empress Dowager Gao ordered it to be replaced, but Zhao Xu sent someone to move it back. Empress Dowager Gao asked why, and Zhao Xu replied: "It's my father." used."

When Empress Dowager Gao heard this, she was greatly saddened, knowing that he would be dissatisfied with her measures in the future. However, the more Zhao Xu was like this, the more worried she became, and of course she did not dare to give up her power.

In order to teach Zhao Xu not to carry out reforms, she invited important ministers from the Manchu Dynasty to specifically teach Zhao Xu and warn him of the dangers of the new laws. At the same time, she was strictly on guard against the new parties to prevent those new parties who advocated reforms from instigating Zhao Xu.

However, she was on the left and right, but she did not expect that the enemy would be so cunning. He would not be able to do it from the officialdom, but would use another evil method to get closer to His Majesty from the Hanlin Medical Officer.

At that moment, Empress Dowager Gao's thoughts began to change. Was this incident done by Fan Zheng alone, or was Su Song, the Fan family who had planned it in advance and even took the initiative to write a letter to implement the medical city policy, also a part of it.

Zhao Tingzhi felt very happy. Today's situation was exactly what he planned. The Fan family killed all the people and insisted on putting his son in jail. Su Song was stubborn and refused to be accommodating. Now he was going to kill everything.

He directly pulled the Fan family into the quagmire of reform, and then poured a basin of dirty water on Su Song. With Su Song's stubborn and rigid character, he would naturally take the initiative to resign from the Kaifeng magistrate. When the time comes, the Fan family will be in danger, and Kaifeng magistrate will be replaced, but he will not try it. There was no chance to rescue Zhao Mingcheng.

"I have absolutely no intention of doing so. The way to heal the city is beneficial to the country and the people, and the whole city praises it. I am willing to resign from the post of Kaifeng magistrate to prove my innocence." As Zhao Tingzhi expected, the most rigid and stubborn Su Song took the initiative to resign.

Now he is only one step away from success, waiting for the Fan family to completely lose power, because everyone knows that the last thing Empress Dowager Gao can tolerate is reform.

The Manchu officials also set their sights on Fan Chunren, the leader of the officials, and were ready to hear how the Fan family explained Fan Zheng's affairs.

"The Fan family has never been shy about reform!"

However, Fan Chunren's first sentence caused an uproar in the whole court. Even Empress Dowager Gao couldn't help but be stunned. He did not expect that the Fan family would openly admit the matter.

Fan Chunren blurted out the words in his heart and felt very happy. He couldn't help but think of Fan Zheng's impassioned speech in the Prime Minister's Palace. Fan Zheng was the person who was most like his ancestors.

"The Fan family is looking for death!" Zhao Tingzhi was overjoyed. Now that the Fan family has admitted the reform in public, isn't that ironclad evidence, which is stronger than the evidence of his son Zhao Mingcheng's guilt?

Fan Chunren continued: "Everything in the Fan family today is the legacy of the reform of the late father Fan Zhongyan. The ancestral motto of the Fan family is to worry about the world's worries first and rejoice after the world's happiness. Now it is undecided in Xixia, Yanyun sixteen Before the state was taken back and the money was cut off, the Fan family never slacked off and tried hard to find a way to eliminate the long-standing shortcomings of the Song Dynasty and reform the country to become stronger."

All the officials were silent. Every word Fan Chunren said hit them hard in the face. There were two reform leaders in the Song Dynasty. One was the Qingli New Deal led by Fan Zhongyan, and the other was the Xining Reform led by Wang Anshi. The Fan family As one of the reforming families, there is no need to talk about the reform, and there is no need to doubt his motives.

Even Empress Dowager Gao was silent. When she re-appointed Fan Chunren, she was using his reputation as a reformist family to balance the power in the court.

"Although Fan Zheng is stubborn, there is no doubt about his loyalty and patriotism as a member of the Fan family. He suffered injustice at the Imperial Medical Bureau, and became angry and became a forensic doctor. He founded a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. It is now the number one hospital in the world and has saved countless people. But he has never Endangering people?"

"Fan Zheng gave up writing and became a doctor. He learned the skills of treating thousands of people and donated his prescriptions to the medical city, giving Kaifeng a completely new look. Did he ever exploit the people?"

"Fan Zheng discovered that alcohol disinfection saved the lives of countless soldiers of the Song Dynasty, but did it endanger the country."

"Fan Zheng discovered a way to cure night blindness and enhance the physical fitness and night fighting ability of our soldiers in the Song Dynasty. Did it ever endanger the country?"

………………

Fan Chunren's series of rhetorical questions made all officials in the court remain silent. Even the Queen Mother Gao had to admit that Fan Zheng's medical skills indeed brought immeasurable benefits to the Song Dynasty.

"No matter what their position, the children of the Fan family will not speak out about the reform and will not endanger the people and the country, even if they are veterans. However, the Fan family is firmly opposed to the reform that is eager for quick success and endangers the people and the country." Fan Chunren spoke righteously. Of course, he was not stubborn in expressing his position, but took the opportunity to attack another wave of Wang Anshi's reforms to show his loyalty.

Su Shi was greatly touched when he heard what he said. He couldn't help but said: "To the Empress Dowager, Fan Zheng's medical skills are well known to the world, and his poetry is even more talented. He has published famous poems for thousands of years. Besides, since ancient times, all dynasties have There have been reforms in all dynasties. In ancient times, there was Shang Yang's reform. In the previous dynasty, there was the two-tax law. In the Song Dynasty, everyone knew that there were redundant soldiers and officials, and the sixteen states of Yanyun were like a stick in the throat, so how could we talk about the reform?"

Su Zhe couldn't help but lamented. His brother's big mouth was so careless that he dared to say anything. He had no choice but to come out to save his brother again and said: "Master Su has misunderstood the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager has grown old to control the country. The late Emperor is here." After the collapse, the Empress Dowager single-handedly stabilized the government, raised His Majesty, and changed the bad governance left by the Xining Reform. This was a great contribution to the country and a model for the world. Moreover, her method of healing the city was one of the few good methods in the world. The Empress Dowager also followed her advice and asked Master Su Song to implement it in Kaifeng City. Alcohol prevents and treats wound infections. The Empress Dowager was worried about the soldiers and ordered a large purchase to treat soldiers all over the world."

Su Che's continuous flattery and dismissal made Empress Dowager Gao feel very happy, and she finally withdrew her dissatisfaction with Su Shi.

"What Mr. Xiao Su said is true. I will naturally adopt good methods that benefit the country and the people." Empress Dowager Gao borrowed the donkey from the slope, but she changed her words,

"Since Fan Zheng has such medical skills, let him practice medicine well and prescribe more good prescriptions that benefit the country and the people in the future."

"I'm writing lyrics for my orders! No! I'm practicing medicine for my orders!"

All the officials in the dynasty felt weird, and they couldn't help but think of the world-famous talent Liu Yong during the Renzong period. He was extremely arrogant. After failing many imperial examinations, in order to vent his dissatisfaction, he even wrote a poem: "I can't bear the name, but instead sing a cup of wine and sing in a low voice" , and at that time, his article had been rated as No. 1 and was sent to Renzong's case. After Renzong heard about it, he couldn't help but get angry, and wrote eight words: "Why write lyrics for the sake of fame?" From then on, he wrote lyrics according to the order. Liu Sanbian's name.

But now Fan Zheng is equally unruly and unruly. He bluntly said that studying literature cannot save the country. He gave up literature to practice medicine and became a forensic doctor. However, the Empress Dowager decided to let him practice medicine according to orders.

Fan Chunren sighed when he heard this. Just yesterday, his third brother and sister came to ask him to find an official position as a Hanlin medical officer for Fan Zheng. Originally, it was not difficult with Fan Zheng's medical skills, but now everything has come to nothing.

Although Zhao Tingzhi was dissatisfied with this outcome, there was nothing he could do about it. However, it was not that he gained nothing. Instead, he completely cut off Fan Zheng's career as an official. At the same time, he also planted the seeds of doubt, and there may be no chance of revenge in the future.
