Chapter 1127: The Struggle for Discourse Power
It is said that the Emperor is ill.
The Emperor is avoiding the heat in the palace, eating pills from the Jade Spring Palace, and sleeping with concubines. The government affairs are handled by the adults in the government affairs hall.
But he is still ill.
He played in the water with his concubines, perhaps he was too excited, soaking in the water for half a day, enjoying the rare coolness of summer. As a result, after returning, he felt something wrong that night, ate some medicine to prevent a cold, but it didn't get better. When he got up the next day, he was dizzy and weak, his nose was running uncontrollably, and his whole body was aching.
Typical cold symptoms.
The Imperial Physicians gathered in the palace to consult, prescribe medicine, and personally watch the decoction.
The medicine had a sleep-inducing effect. Emperor Emperor Jian Shi slept in a muddle, woke up with a foul sweat, felt as if he was better, drank half a bowl of porridge, and then it didn't work. Various symptoms broke out, even more serious than before.
He was so angry he smashed the bedroom.
He wanted to point at the noses of the Imperial Physicians and scold them, but he was powerless and lacked strength.
"Get out, all get out!"
Emperor Emperor Jian Shi gasped, his whole body uncomfortable. He hadn't been ill for several years, and this illness came fiercely, giving him a bad feeling.
He was not at ease and ordered someone to invite Pure Yang Zhenren.
"The pills from the Jade Spring Palace strengthen the body. I have eaten them for several years without incident. Why did I get sick like this just by soaking in the mountain spring water for a while? Go, invite the people from the Jade Spring Palace; could it be that the pills have a problem."
"Your Majesty, should I invite, or arrest..."
"Who do you want to arrest?" Emperor Emperor Jian Shi's eyes were vicious, staring at Eunuch Gan kneeling on the ground, "Who do you want to arrest? My illness has not healed yet, what do you want to do? Who allowed you to arrest people?"
"The servant knows his mistake! The servant knows his mistake! The servant was just too anxious, His Majesty's dragon body is unwell, the servant is more worried than anyone else. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Get out!" Emperor Emperor Jian Shi rebuked, and Eunuch Gan hurriedly retreated on his knees.
Wang Defa replaced Eunuch Gan and served by Emperor Emperor Jian Shi's side.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of your body. The Imperial Physician said that Your Majesty has a common cold and needs to rest."
Emperor Emperor Jian Shi leaned on the soft pillow, his body soft, unable to use any strength.
He coughed lightly, "Send someone to watch the harem."
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
"I am ill, I am afraid some people are restless, unable to hold back and want to emerge. Watch for me, watch well, who is sincere and who is fake. Also, the draft list, has it been determined."
"The Imperial Household Department has a preliminary list, just waiting for Your Majesty to make a decision."
Emperor Emperor Jian Shi nodded, "Look again, look again."
If necessary, change a list.
Being ill this time also has its benefits, allowing him to see clearly who is human and who is a ghost.
He also ordered: "Watch the court as well. Because of the draft, the court has been quite lively recently. Don't slack off, loose outside and tight inside!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, everything is arranged."
"That's very good! Cough cough..."
"Your Majesty, please take care of your body!" Wang Defa brought a few little eunuchs to serve Emperor Emperor Jian Shi to lie down and called the Imperial Physician to watch.
Pure Yang Zhenren was invited to the palace.
Medicine and Dao are not separated. Under the supervision of the Imperial Physicians and ministers, he took Emperor Emperor Jian Shi's pulse.
After taking the pulse, he said slightly implicitly: "The mountain spring water is indeed cooling, but Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold, and cold entering the body is inevitable. I have a prescription, perhaps it will be effective."
"Prescribe the prescription first!" Xie Changling said first.
Now, he is in charge by the Emperor's side. The Empress has to stand aside.
It was not that Xie Changling took the responsibility actively, but that Emperor Emperor Jian Shi's suspicion was too heavy, and he did not trust the concubines in the harem. Especially at the critical moment of choosing concubines for the princes, all kinds of monsters and demons emerged, all showing their magical powers.
As for whether to use Pure Yang Zhenren's prescription, that's for later.
Leaving the Emperor, facing the Imperial Physicians and ministers, Pure Yang Zhenren spoke much more straightforwardly, "The pills offered by the Jade Spring Palace, you can check them however you want, there is absolutely no problem. They are all old prescriptions, and the medicinal materials are also provided by the palace.
Your Majesty's illness this time is mainly because Your Majesty is already old, but learned from young people to soak in the mountain spring water for half a day. Such icy mountain spring water, let alone Your Majesty, even young people soaking in it for half a day, I am afraid they would have to lie in bed for a few days.
In the final analysis, the people serving by Your Majesty's side did not fulfill their responsibilities and failed to remind Your Majesty to take care of your body in time. Coupled with the summer heat, one cold and one hot, the condition worsened. You Imperial Physicians are afraid of taking responsibility and use medicine cautiously, so they are all mild medicinal materials, so the effect is not obvious after eating. If you are willing to take responsibility and use medicine boldly, Your Majesty's condition would have been better seven or eight out of ten."
Hearing this, the ministers looked at the Imperial Physicians one after another.
The Imperial Physicians' expressions were embarrassing, very unconvinced.
Serving in the palace and prescribing medicine, especially for His Majesty, is naturally careful and careful. It is better that the medicine has no effect than to prescribe tiger and wolf medicine.
They refuted one after another, "Nonsense!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"In this old man's opinion, it is clearly that your Jade Spring Palace's pills have a problem. His Majesty has been taking pills for a long time, and there is no shortage of pill poison in his body."
"In order to shirk responsibility, Zhenren doesn't even want his face. Actually accusing us of not being responsible. Absurd!"
The Imperial Physicians broke down, and when they scolded people, their mouths were babbling, more capable of speaking than the splashing shrews in the vegetable market.
All the ministers had indescribable expressions, knowing that the Imperial Hospital was hit by Pure Yang Zhenren's heart. It was a minor illness, but because the medicine was too mild and the effect was limited, Emperor Emperor Jian Shi did not get better for a long time. A group of quacks!
Pure Yang Zhenren sneered, full of sarcasm, "Who is shirking responsibility and who doesn't want face, everyone present knows it well. This Daoist never tells lies! Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"
"Absurd! Your Jade Spring Palace fawns on the superior and bullies the inferior, and it's not the first time you've done such things."
"Don't think that just because you can refine pills, you can do whatever you want."
"Sooner or later, we will expose your Jade Spring Palace's true face."
Both sides accused each other and started personal attacks.
"Both of you, say less." Xie Changling stood out. As the Left Chancellor, he could not let both sides continue to argue. "Imperial Physician Cui, I know your medical skills, prescribe the prescription again, and make His Majesty better as soon as possible. If something happens, this official will take responsibility!"
Imperial Physician Cui hesitated.
"What are you hesitating about? Could it be that you suspect this official is fooling you? His Majesty is seriously ill, and his temper is inevitably irritable. If His Majesty's illness is not cured as soon as possible, then your Imperial Hospital will eat and carry it from top to bottom!"
Xie Changling was very angry, daring to doubt his credibility.
Unreasonable!
A group of things that don't know what's good for them!
Seeing this, Imperial Physician Cui could only bow slightly and agree, "The subordinate can prescribe the prescription again. However, His Majesty has been taking pills for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be residues in the lungs and viscera. After prescribing the prescription again, if the curative effect is insufficient, it must be a problem with the pills. At that time, I hope Xie Chancellor can support a thorough investigation of the Jade Spring Palace."
At this time, Imperial Physician Cui did not forget to take the opportunity to overthrow the Jade Spring Palace. Who let the Jade Spring Palace compete with the Imperial Hospital for business.
That is not just business, but the struggle for discourse power. ===== CHAPTER 1128 =====
