Practicing Medicine in the Tang Dynasty

"Princess, please ask questions, I will know everything." Wu Yi smiled wryly.

Taiping yawned lazily, with sleepy tears in his eyes: "Just...just say whatever comes to mind. Who..."

She pointed to the jailer in confidence: "You remember."

Li Jing hurriedly stopped her: "Princess, I can remember."

"Really?" Taiping looked suspiciously at this nephew who was only two years older than him, his eyes were clearly asking, do you know more words than me?

Li Jing took a pen and paper from the jailer, spread it out in front of Wu Yi, and whispered to Taiping: "Brother Yi wants to say something wrong, I can still correct it, let these jailers write it down, it will be troublesome to correct it."

Taiping thought for a while, and it seemed to be the reason, then waved his hand to let the jailer back out, with his hands covered in his sleeves under his chin, propping up his precariously small head.

It's long past the usual sleep time, and the little guy obviously stayed up all night with sleepiness. At this time, the slightly trembling eyelashes reflected in a pair of bright eyes, like a pair of butterfly wings that are about to rest, accidentally drooping and swiping. Through a pool of still water.

Li Jing was more energetic than Taiping, with candlelight in his eyes, outlining his master's pensive face.

Wu Yi looked at the two children, one big and one small in front of him, and felt as if he had knocked over a seasoning bottle in his heart, mixed with sour, sweet, bitter and indescribable emotions.Two teenage children ran around late at night for him, but he, an adult, waited in the prison without doing anything, even thinking about death, but he didn't care about what these people who had a relationship with them would think .

"Brother Yi, tell me, I'll remember." Li Jing's soft reminder woke him up from his complicated mood.

"Actually, when I was in Meizhou, I discovered that Dr. Zhang Qiren prescribed Yuehua Pills..." Wu Yi finally spoke slowly, explaining the series of events in detail.

On the other side, Pei Yuan also immediately handed over the criminal evidence from Zhou Xing to Empress Wu.

"This is what Zhou Xing, the jailer, put on trial." He pointed out the main points concisely, "I think Dr. Zhang is very clear about what to say and what not to say."

Empress Wu only glanced at it briefly, knowing that there would be no loopholes in Zhang Qiren's desperate move, but she secretly remembered the name Zhou Xing.

"Dr. Zhang's heart is commendable, but it's a pity that I really can't save him from the fire and water." She looked deeply at the young man who was as sharp as a knife and as cold as a knife, and the peony with a graceful smile, "Pei Yuan, you Say, is this palace very ruthless?"

Pei Yuan knelt down on the ground with a bang: "The empress is already the most benevolent and kind, why would you say so ruthlessly? Zhang Qiren dared to murder the East Palace. He was really guilty of a heinous crime. He must die to thank the world. If the empress opened his mouth to save him, he would be a failure." won the hearts of the subjects of the world."

Empress Wu couldn't help laughing: "Even you can say such things, it can be seen that letting you follow the prince has improved a lot."

Pei Yuan still had a cold expression on his face, without even moving a single eyebrow: "I'm just telling the truth, I was like this in the past, it's like this now, and it will be like this in the future."

"Okay, I understand that you are utterly loyal. It's just that you don't behave like this." Empress Wu nodded his forehead and sighed, "Even Taiping said that General Pei was handsome, but unfortunately he has no expression, like A wooden man."

Without waiting for Pei Yuan to make any expression, Empress Wu smiled slightly: "I remember that you have a younger sister who is also beautiful and beautiful in Chang'an."

Pei Yuan nodded, and Empress Wu continued: "I have already arranged with the Holy Majesty the daughter of Siwei Shaoqing Yang Shaojian's daughter, Yang Shi, to be the crown princess. Unfortunately, that child's fate is poor, and after all, there is no such fate."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Yuan already understood what Empress Wu meant.He didn't even frown, his eyes seemed to be chiseled out of ice, and he looked at Empress Wu motionlessly.

"The prince is seriously ill, and I also want to choose a princess to cheer him up. After thinking about it, only your sister is talented, and her appearance and temperament are first-class. It's just that the prince is ill now. I'm afraid I've wronged her."

"My sister is favored by the queen, it is already a blessing from her previous life, how can there be any grievances?"

"Actually, your father already knew about it. Since you have no objection, let's make it so."

Empress Wu gently placed the important letter of indictment on the table, as if she had put down a heavy burden, and after a while, she smiled: "Then I will choose a good day and marry them both. "

-

With the incriminating evidence delivered urgently by Pei Yuan and the final testimony submitted by Wu Yi, this overwhelming case was deftly resolved by Empress Wu.

When Zhang Wenguan got the verdict carefully whitewashed by Zhou Xing, he already knew that he had used the wrong person, but he could only look up to the sky and sigh, Li Tang was destroyed by the sky, and it was against the opportunity of Li Zi.

Just like Li Hong's gradually weakening body, the power of the East Palace Party gradually sank and was disintegrated bit by bit in this silent storm.

In this obviously one-sided situation, even Li Zhi couldn't sit still any longer. He made a promise to Li Hong that when he recovered, he would be given the meditation seat, so that he could recover from his illness and not think too much about it.

Li Hongyi just smiled slightly for this kind of words that were purely comforting, his pale cheeks were like a piece of paper without words, and he could no longer write any words.

About a month later, one of the ten death row inmates who had been vaccinated had symptoms of coughing and low-grade fever. As the last piece of evidence, this dying life was immediately granted a special pardon by Empress Wu, who allowed him to slow down in his own home. Die slowly.

And the one who switched with him was Zhang Qiren's dying old life - murdering the prince, a crime that cannot be punished.

It's a pity that there is only this lonely old man left in Zhang's family, and he can't find another person even by copying and beheading.

All the slaves of the Zhang family were exiled to Lingnan, and all the maidservants were sent to Yeting. Even Xu Ziwen, Wu Xu and other students were implicated and sent back to their original places. Not only was he not implicated, but he was promoted to become the youngest medical assistant in the Tai Medical Department [1].

And Wu Yi, as an innocent witness who was imprisoned, was only held accountable for a few words, and his merits and demerits were offset. He was also rewarded with a few bolts of silk and satin by Empress Wu as a reward for his "bold and outspoken".

Wu Yi donated all these rewards to the poor in order to "imitate the queen's love for the people".

After Empress Wu heard about this incident, she gave him a hundred taels of silver. The meaning couldn't be more clear. Now everyone sees that Wu Yi is the little heart that Empress Wu has worked hard to cultivate. With a smile, he did not accept his salute.

Only Shen Hanshan was willing to have a drink with him: "In their eyes, you have already reached the sky, and you are unattainable, why should you care about other people's eyes?"

Wu Yi gulped down a glass of wine with a muffled mouth, and a few mouthfuls of strong liquor entered his throat, finally getting through his chatter box.

"Teacher, I don't understand, I really don't understand." He murmured, looking at the unreachable East, "Why is Dr. Zhang so painstakingly trying to kill the crown prince, even if... hiccup, even if the queen can no longer tolerate the crown prince, he caresses the crown prince?" After more than ten years, don't you feel any pain?"

Shen Hanshan got up and opened the window, blocking Wu Yiyuan's sight just right.

"In the past, your grandfather Wu Kang committed a serious crime in front of Emperor Taizong, and Taizong was so angry that he wanted to kill his nine clans. At that time, the queen was still a talented person of Taizong." Shen Hanshan simply brushed off the events of the year, obviously not I would like to mention more old things, "At that time, Wu Cairen was favored just now. Right in front of Taizong, Taizong asked how to deal with this imperial physician. Wu Cai was humane and did not harm his family. This saved the lives of the Wu family and his family."

Wu Yi was so drunk that he was awakened by these old things, and he looked at Shen Hanshan in a daze: "So..."

"You really look like Dr. Wu Kang back then." Shen Hanshan's drunken gaze slowly slipped from Wu Yi's young face, "You look alike, you have a similar temper, and you're even curious about knowing everything. The heart is also similar, in fact, the most important thing for people in this medical office is one thing."

Shen Hanshan tapped Wu Yi's forehead, and smiled bitterly: "That's just being stupid."

"Can……"

"If you still don't understand anything, just ask Dr. Zhang himself." Shen Hanshan waved his hand impatiently, and poured him another glass of wine, "If you still want to drink, come to me again."

-

According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the night before the execution, the death row prisoner can meet with his relatives and friends in order to leave his last words and fulfill his life's last wishes.

Zhang Qiren was alone in the first place, he had committed a serious crime, and no one dared to come to see him, so Wu Yi was the only one who came to see him off in the end.

This was the last case in Zhou Xing's hands. After finishing this case, he was about to enter the provincial government and be promoted to several ranks.Now that Wu Yike and he were on the same boat, he couldn't help smiling and persuading him: Zhang Qiren is a hot potato now, don't just rely on the queen's good words and forget your duty.

Wu Yi also gave him a hypocritical smile: "Duke Zhou is really a considerate person, but the villain and Zhang Qiren have a chance to meet each other, so it is inevitable to come and see him off for the last time."

Zhou Xinglue persuaded him a few words, seeing that he insisted on seeing Zhang Qiren and was unwilling to offend his comrades, he ordered the guards to open the door of Zhang Qiren's cell and let Wu Yi in.

Wu Yi slowly stepped into this familiar cell, looking down, the old man who was about to die also looked back at him with a smile, as if through his face, he was looking at the old man he had been away for several years and was about to meet again.
