Chapter 665 Five Days, Ignore
After the incident of Prince Jing was exposed, Jiang Qingzhi was most worried about the Taoist priest rather than the foreign officials.
Emperor Jiajing was protective of his shortcomings, but there was a prerequisite for his protection, which was that the person had no obvious bad deeds.
For example, Yan Song and his son. Although the outside world called for their capture and killing, you could not find any evidence that they violated the law, or any evidence that they blatantly sold official positions and titles.
The evidence is solid that King Jing poisoned someone to death. Even if the court officials remain silent, the Taoist priest will take action.
"...The medicine boy was found dead the next day after taking the medicine. Now, Chang Wei Bo has sealed off King Jing's residence, and no one around King Jing is allowed to go out."
Huang Jin lowered his head, thinking that King Jing had really done it himself.
Why don’t you learn something else?
For example, poetry, songs, or painting are not only elegant but also safe.
It would be fine if he studied medicine, but he actually dared to dig graves and dissect corpses... Tsk tsk! If it were someone else, he would have been struck to death by the Taoist's palm thunder.
Emperor Jiajing looked at the statue quietly and sighed, "Sons and daughters are all debts."
Afterwards, Emperor Jiajing personally visited Prince Jing's residence.
Jiang Qingzhi was waiting for him.
"How is it?" asked Emperor Jiajing.
Jiang Qingzhi handed the paper with the prescription to Emperor Jiajing, "I have had this place sealed. Also, the pot where the medicine was boiled yesterday has been cleaned."
"Let me see where that rebellious son is." Emperor Jiajing took the paper.
"Father, I am here."
King Jing responded from inside the door.
Emperor Jiajing looked at the door, took a deep breath, and looked at the prescription carefully.
Most people who practice Taoism are proficient in medicine, and Emperor Jiajing is no exception.
He read it very carefully, and after a long while he said, "This prescription is well matched and can relieve liver depression and eliminate toxins..."
It turned out to be the Taoist priest. Jiang Qingzhi had received the same answer from Chen Ting before.
"As for the death of someone..." Taoist said calmly, "Medicine is three-quarters toxic. Everyone's body is different. The same prescription can be a life-saving medicine for some people, but a deadly poison for others. Nizi, are you proficient in the art of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation?"
King Jing said from inside the door: "I feel fine."
Humans are all animals that feel good about themselves!
Emperor Jiajing looked at Jiang Qingzhi and said, "Let's do an autopsy!"
"I have already sent someone to find a coroner." Jiang Qingzhi immediately sent someone to the Ministry of Justice to find a coroner. "The coroner is now in the Huben Zuowei."
In this way, the possibility of the coroner being bribed or instructed by others is avoided.
Emperor Jiajing nodded in appreciation, "Then impeachments will pour in, and the Dali Temple will intervene. I won't be able to stop them for long. Qingzhi..."
"I know." Jiang Qingzhi nodded.
"Okay!" Emperor Jiajing knew that there was another great battle between the emperor and his ministers waiting for him in the previous dynasty.
After Emperor Jiajing left, Jiang Qingzhi ordered: "Keep an eye on all places and don't let them communicate with the outside world."
Huang Jian, the chief companion of King Jing, said, "Don't worry, Lord Chang Wei. We will keep an eye on it ourselves."
……
Zhang Tong came and brought Huang Jin's words, "Today, many people impeached His Royal Highness King Jing, and some people impeached you, Chang Wei Bo, for trying to help King Jing escape punishment... and bending the law for personal gain!"
Hey!
Jiang Qingzhi asked: "Where is the evidence?"
Zhang Tong scratched his head. "They said that you, Lord Wei, have been in the palace for a long time, but you have not reported it to the authorities. It is obvious that you are trying to cover up this matter."
Jiang Qingzhi sneered, "Someone is watching the palace."
Zhang Tong said, "Chang Wei Bo, you have to be careful."
Looking at the young eunuch's clear eyes, Jiang Qingzhi smiled and touched his head, "Don't worry!"
"Yes!" Zhang Tong nodded vigorously. "If you need help, just ask. We...we can also help."
"it is good!"
Watching Zhang Tong walk away, Mo Zhan said, "Master, it seems someone wants to drag you down with him."
Jiang Qingzhi shook off the ashes from his cigarette and said, "Go find out about Chen Ting's background. The sooner the better."
"Yes." Sun Bu Tong agreed, then smiled and said, "My Lord, Mr. Xu said that King Jing had sent someone to investigate last time. We are trying to catch up now..."
Jiang Qingzhi stopped and asked, "Have you inquired about a place?"
"Please give your orders, my Lord."
"Cao boat!"
……
Things are fermenting rapidly.
King Jing killed someone.
Upon hearing the news, Xia Yan went to the study to look for Jiang Qingzhi.
Jiang Qingzhi wrote and drew on the paper, connecting the names with lines.
The old man said, "If this is true, Prince Jing can give up his ambition to seize the throne. This will leave Prince Yu alone."
Jiang Qingzhi raised his head with a smile on his face, "If something goes wrong with Prince Yu..."
"That's a problem." Xia Yan scratched his head. "Your Majesty only has two princes. It's not a problem for Your Majesty to force one of them to succeed to the throne."
"But who would respect a notorious emperor? I'm afraid his decree will become waste paper once it leaves the palace!"
Jiang Qingzhi thought of the later Wanli Emperor, Tianqi Emperor, Chongzhen Emperor...
One emperor after another was vilified and became a tyrant in the eyes of the literati.
For example, Emperor Wanli was described by the outside world as the second King You of Zhou who was obsessed with beauty but ignored his country.
There is no need to talk about Tianqi. He is not an emperor at all. He is clearly a carpenter reincarnated.
They slandered and vilified the emperor, making him a joke in the eyes of the people of the world.
Afterwards, the emperor became a lonely man.
One of the jokes is that Emperor Wanli sent people to collect taxes, but those people were burned to death. I wonder if anyone thought of the experience of Emperor Jiajing who was almost burned to death when he went out many years ago. Why did Emperor Tianqi die young?
Once Emperor Chongzhen's decrees left the capital, they became paper for local officials to wipe their asses, and his reputation for being stubborn and cruel spread throughout the world.
Jiang Qingzhi looked up, and Xia Yanlao's eyes were full of amusement. He asked, "Understand?"
"This matter is probably not simple!" In a flash, Jiang Qingzhi thought of the miracle doctor, "There might be something wrong with Chen Ting."
"Whether there is a problem or not is another matter. The most important thing right now is to protect King Jing!" Xia Yan said, "If King Jing's reputation is ruined, Qingzhi, Your Majesty will be forced into a desperate situation."
The current situation is completely different from the historical situation. In the past, Emperor Jiajing had been dormant in the Western Garden until his death. Therefore, although the relationship between him and his ministers was still tense, it was not as tense as it is now.
The heir to the throne must have double insurance!
"Once Prince Jing leaves, Prince Yu will become the weak spot for the ministers to use against Your Majesty!"
Xia Yan said with relief: "You can see this, which shows that you have listened to my teachings on weekdays."
Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help but want to complain, but seeing the smile in the old man's eyes, he suddenly said seriously: "Yes. Thank you very much."
This old man has been quietly sitting in the Bo Mansion, picking up the missing pieces and filling in the gaps. When something big happened, he would use his rich experience to help Jiang Qingzhi sort out the clues, and pass on his many years of experience in politics and life experience to Jiang Qingzhi without reservation.
The relationship between the two is like that of master and disciple, but there are some differences.
When Jiang Qingzhi entered the palace again, Emperor Jiajing had just had a fierce battle with his ministers.
"Many ministers suggested that the Dali Temple should be involved to investigate the matter, but Your Majesty refused on the grounds that the palace was conducting its own investigation." Zhang Tong came to King Jing's residence.
"Didn't you see, Lord Wei, that those officials were extremely angry?" Zhang Tong said vividly. "Some even said, is this matter just going to be left unresolved?"
Of course not.
"Later, someone asked how long it would take." Zhang Tong sighed, "Your Majesty said... five days."
Emperor Jiajing bought five days for Jiang Qingzhi. If the matter could not be resolved within five days, once the Dali Temple intervened... that is, external forces intervened, the direction of the matter would no longer be under control.
"Your Majesty, let's just say... five days is about right!!"
"Lord Wei, just tell us what you want us to do." The young eunuch patted his chest, looking very loyal. "By the way, Your Majesty has not been sleeping well and eating well recently, and he is a little irritated."
"Okay." Jiang Qingzhi smiled. As for the Taoist's health problem, he was powerless.
After Zhang Tong left, Jiang Qingzhi asked someone to call Chen Ting over.
He was wearing a Taoist robe, a wooden hairpin on his head, and his hair and beard were fluttering.
"It looks good." Jiang Qingzhi sat down. A eunuch brought him some tea and he took a sip.
"King Jing said you have read that recipe many times?"
"Yes." Chen Ting said, "I think it's worth considering, but His Highness couldn't wait to ask someone to test the medicine."
"Then why did your medicine boy volunteer?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
Chen Ting smiled bitterly, "That medicine boy is ambitious and wants to get close to King Jing to gain wealth and fame. Although I have scolded him, everyone has their own aspirations."
That makes sense.
At this time, Huang Jian came and whispered in his ear: "Chang Wei Bo, the coroner of the Ministry of Justice has completed the autopsy and said that the medicine boy died from drugs."
"Fuck!" The worst result happened.
Chen Ting sighed as if he and Jiang Qingzhi had the same thoughts: "The medicine boy's body was already very weak. That prescription soothes the liver and relieves qi, and it is very effective in removing toxins. I thought that after taking it, he would at most have diarrhea, but who knew... Oh!"
Jiang Qingzhi did not know much about medicine, but with the explosion of information in later generations, he more or less knew something about yin deficiency and yang deficiency.
"Weakness, can it kill someone?" Jiang Qingzhi sneered, "Ask the Imperial Hospital for the result."
The prescription has been sent to the Imperial Medical Bureau. A group of imperial doctors studied it for a long time and finally came to a conclusion.
"The Imperial Hospital said it's hard to say."
It really is a panacea!
Jiang Qingzhi knew those people's concerns. If he said something wrong, his reputation would be ruined. From then on, he would not be able to practice medicine or even sell medicine.
"If there is any love affair, do you know the consequences?" Jiang Qingzhi stared at Chen Ting,
Chen Ting said: "If Chang Wei Bo wants to frame me, just come, or you can silence me!"
There were five people present at the moment, Huang Jian and four eunuchs.
After these words were spoken, Jiang Qingzhi couldn't take action even if he wanted to.
Jiang Qingzhi was about to leave the palace when Chen Yan came again, "Her Majesty asked if there were any clues."
Jiang Qingzhi shook his head.
Chen Yan reported back to Concubine Lu, who smiled bitterly, "Five days is so difficult. I am just too worried."
"But Long Wilbur looks quite calm." Chen Yan said.
"He is a famous general. Although I don't know much about battle formations, I have heard a saying that only those who remain calm when seeing mountains collapse and the earth crack before their eyes can command troops like gods."
"Your Highness." A eunuch came in. "There are rumors outside that His Royal Highness Prince Jing has messed up things, and Chang Wei Bo is ready to give up this disciple and stand with Prince Yu instead."
Concubine Lu narrowed her eyes, "Why does this sound familiar?"
Chen Yan was startled, "My Lady, the Chengguo Mansion!"
……
"Those people are fighting back."
At the Duke of Cheng’s Mansion, the Duke’s wife said, “As soon as the Duke’s Mansion decided to take sides, those people got angry and attacked Qing.”
"Go ask Qingzhi, this matter requires the Duke's Mansion to take action." Zhu Xizhong ordered.
Not long after, the people who went came back.
"The second master is not at home."
"One day out of five, where did he go?"
"He said he was going fishing outside the city."
Just as Jiang Qingzhi was hit back by those nobles and dignitaries, everyone was waiting for his response.
——This guy is actually fishing outside the city!
Those powerful and noble relatives who took action were furious.
This is a blatant disregard for them!
