Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times

Chapter 22 The Imperial Physician is Crazy

Just as he was about to ask someone to call the fourth brother over, he found that it was already very late at night. After asking, he found out that it was almost three o'clock in the morning.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

According to his idea, there is no need to choose the right time to beat a child.

You can beat him whenever you want.

But... wasn't it yesterday, the first day of the Lunar New Year, that I beat my child, and that's why my sister scolded me with a feather duster?

If I call the fourth brother over in the middle of the night and beat him up, and I can't explain myself, won't the girl come to me with a feather duster?
It’s not that I’m afraid of girls hitting me with a feather duster. It feels very comfortable when girls hit me with a feather duster.

But it’s too cold today and I’m afraid the girl will be frozen.

Of course, there is another reason besides this, that is, he has a plan in his mind.

In order to fight Li Shanchang over the affairs in Zhongdu City, he needed to use his sons.

This plan is reasonable for me.

But for the girl, it was definitely more excessive than beating her child on New Year's Day.

It’s not easy to get a girl’s consent.

In order not to affect subsequent plans, Zhu Yuanzhang also needs to be patient for the time being.

In short, due to various reasons, Lao Zhu once again delayed beating Lao Si.

Besides, beating up the fourth brother was also part of the plan, and he needed to use some self-torture tactics appropriately...

The fourth child was still completely clueless about this. He had already fallen asleep, and even in his dreams he was happy, watching his father beat the third child with joy...

"Go and call Liu Ying over to us."

After much thought, Zhu Yuanzhang decided not to beat the fourth brother, but he still felt unhappy.

So he once again summoned the newly appointed Jinyiwei commander Liu Ying.

He planned to kill someone to liven up the atmosphere and relieve his boredom.

It is also a sacrifice for the successful opening of Jinyiwei!
While waiting for Liu Ying to arrive, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on a chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the imperial desk, making a slight "beep" sound.

He seemed to be lost in thought once again...

"Kill Qian Li, the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital!"

After Liu Ying arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang gave orders decisively.

"Remember, you have to make it look good. You can't just kill someone directly; you have to make it look like an accident.

They might catch fire, fall into water, or die in a car that loses control...

It's up to you to decide how to do it.

But you can’t let anyone know that it was you who did it…”

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke out and explained.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying took the order and left.

Not a single extra word was said.

Not to mention asking why the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau was killed.

He didn't care about these things at all and just faithfully carried out the emperor's orders.

However, although he did not ask, Zhu Yuanzhang had a reason for killing Qian.

Of course, it is impossible that he just wanted to kill someone to liven up the mood and relieve his chaotic thoughts.

But this gift of money has its own way of bringing death!

Qian Zhili and Hu Weiyong were familiar with each other and had a special relationship.

It can be said that Hu Weiyong promoted him all the way, and Hu Weiyong was very grateful to him for his recognition and support.

In the previous life, Hu Weiyong brought the imperial physician to see Liu Bowen, and then prescribed medicine that killed Liu Bowen. He did this by using his connections to get Qian Zhili, the second-in-command of the Imperial Medical Bureau, to do it.

The Imperial Medical Bureau was responsible for treating Zhu Yuanzhang and his family, and sometimes it was also responsible for treating princes and ministers under the emperor's order.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang feel at ease when there was such a dangerous person who obeyed Hu Weiyong in such an important position?
Qian Zhili could have followed Hu Weiyong's advice and killed Liu Bowen.

So in the future, will he listen to Hu Weiyong's words and get some medicine for himself or his family, so as to get better or better?

Coming all the way from the chaotic and turbulent times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang witnessed too many evil hearts and encountered too many dangers.

He had to take this matter seriously.

Moreover, from the history of the later Ming Dynasty that he saw in modern times, he had to pay attention to the problems of the Imperial Medical Service.

For example, Liu Wentai, who is known as the greatest imperial physician in history!
The Battle of Tumu was both heartbreaking and infuriating.

The fourth brother risked his life to go to the grassland for the fifth expedition, but the advantages he had gained were lost in one day!
The Ming Dynasty is almost in danger of collapse!

Later, Zhu Jianshen, known as Emperor Chenghua, rose to power. He was a capable man and the true leader of the Ming Dynasty's revival.

He quickly suppressed the rebellion at home and swept through the country abroad, recovering the territory lost by Zhu Qizhen and re-establishing the Ming Dynasty's external authority.

Such a capable emperor is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty.

But this is not the case for those civil service groups with ulterior motives.

They felt that the capable Emperor Chenghua had seriously damaged their interests.

Then, Liu Wentai, a scholar who had no knowledge of medicine and had committed some crimes in the past, changed his appearance and was able to sit in the position of Director of the Imperial Medical Service, took action.

Zhu Jianshen just had a stomachache and diarrhea, and Liu Wentai prescribed the wrong medicine, which directly killed Zhu Jianshen!
Interrupted the revival of the Ming Dynasty!

This is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan, but in the end, some people in the civil service group risked their lives to protect it.

Liu Wentai, who caused such an incident, was not in any trouble.

He was just demoted from the Imperial Medical Bureau Director to the Imperial Medical Bureau Judge, and from the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau to the second in command!

Moreover, four or five years later, when the limelight had passed, this guy was reinstated and became the head of the Imperial Medical Service again!

Then, Hongzhi Zhu Youtang, who had always been very obedient to the civil officials, succeeded to the throne.

The civil servants are all friendly to each other, and their power is expanding rapidly again.

But later on, Hongzhi also wanted to pave the way for his son.

Just when there were signs of illness, these people attacked again. Zhu Youtang only had a minor cold, but Liu Wentai once again accidentally prescribed the wrong medicine and killed him!

After killing two emperors in succession, Liu Wentai should have died, right?
Zhu Houzhao, who succeeded to the throne, was much smarter and more ambitious than Zhu Youtang.

He wanted to kill Liu Wentai to avenge his grandfather and father.

As a result, the civil officials were able to stop him and save Liu Wentai's life. Zhu Houzhao did not kill him and only exiled him.

As for Zhu Houzhao, the emperor who did a good job, he fell into the water several times in a row.

The most ridiculous thing is that it has been several months since the last time he fell into the water, but Yang Tinghe and others still said that he died from falling into the water!

During this process, Zhu Houzhao wanted to find an outside doctor to treat him, but was directly rejected by Yang Tinghe.

Even Jiajing, who was very cunning, could not avoid the dirty deeds of the Imperial Medical Bureau!
He was strangled to death by a palace maid, and after fainting, he was revived by someone in the Imperial Hospital.

However, the imperial physician who saved the emperor did not receive any good reward.

He died not long after!

Liu Wentai, who killed two emperors in succession, died peacefully, but the imperial physician who saved the emperor died soon after.

Think about what’s inside here again and again!
No wonder Jiajing wiped out the Imperial Medical Service twice!

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw these things, his eyes were bloodshot and his hair stood on end with rage!

I wish I could chop all these people to death!
Now back to the eighth year of Hongwu, I knew so many things, and also knew the relationship between Qian Zhili and Hu Weiyong.

How could he possibly let Qian Zhili live?

Living with this kind of shit is the biggest irresponsibility to yourself and your family!

However, only getting rid of people like Qian Zhili is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

We need to find a way to solve this problem once and for all.

Zhu Yuanzhang already had a rough idea about this...

After some thought, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and left Wuying Palace, heading to Kunning Palace to find Empress Ma to sleep...

……

"Uncle, this...what should I do? His Majesty clearly doesn't trust me..."

In Hu Weiyong's courtyard, Hu Shan looked at Hu Weiyong and said with fear in his voice.

"Come on! Nothing's wrong!"

Hu Weiyong raised his voice and glared at his nephew.

“The fact that the higher-ups haven’t dealt with you means this matter has come to an end.

With my uncle who is the Prime Minister here, do you still need to worry about not having an official position in the future?"

"My uncle is teaching my nephew that he is superficial and has lost his composure."

Hu Shan quickly admitted his mistake and looked like he was being taught a lesson.

I also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the emperor seemed to have discovered something. He suddenly abolished the Imperial Guard Commandery and established the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which eliminated him as the commander. Although this made him panic, it was not as serious as he showed.

What he was really worried about was that his uncle would give up on him because of this.

He knew clearly that his wealth and glory did not come from the emperor, but from his uncle, the prime minister.

As long as my uncle doesn't hate me and doesn't give up on me, it doesn't matter if I am removed from the emperor's guards.

Now, after hearing his uncle's words, he naturally no longer worried.

"Uncle, tell me...does the emperor have any other intentions in establishing the Jinyiwei?"

Hu Shan looked at Hu Weiyong and asked.

Hu Weiyong picked up the teacup and took a sip to refresh himself.

He said, "What could be the purpose? It's just that we accidentally stumbled this time, and the emperor has some ulterior motives.

Feeling that the Imperial Guard Commander's Office was not useful, he set up the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

But compared to the previous functions, they should be pretty much the same, with nothing new to offer.”

As Hu Weiyong spoke, he took another sip of strong tea.

So much had happened in the past two days that even he had to drink some strong tea to boost his spirits.

"However, Zhu Yuanzhang acted too hastily.

In such a short time, he personally determined the approximate candidates.

How is it possible to get rid of all those who are not loyal to him?"

Hu Weiyong said this and shook his head, expressing his disdain for Zhu Yuanzhang's approach.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still as easily angered as before.

After his nephew Hu Shan left, Hu Weiyong was left alone in the study. He suddenly smiled silently.

To be honest, this action was not a complete failure.

Although the plan to get rid of Liu Bowen failed, he was reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang, and his nephew was also removed from the sequence of Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guards.

But the plan to kill Liao Yongzhong was accomplished.

This can be used to show great favor to many of the Huaixi nobles, and further win them over...

Moreover, his power in the palace is not limited to his nephew Hu Shan.

There is also a more secretive clue, that is the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Service, Qian Zhili!

Originally, it was intended to be used to kill Liu Bowen, but unexpectedly, an accident occurred.

But it’s a good thing, because this secret of mine was not exposed.

So you can continue to hide and become your trump card.

It may play an unexpected role at some point in the future!

After a long calculation of the pros and cons, late into the night, Hu Weiyong, who had been worried sick for the past few days, finally relaxed and fell asleep...
