Chapter 892, the hospital that is rotten to the core
"Father, how do you feel about my son's handling of this matter?"
After the ministers left, Zhu Houzhao asked Emperor Hongzhi anxiously.
“Very good~”
Emperor Hongzhi smiled happily and affirmed.
Zhu Houzhao was still very smart. He made decisions directly on some small matters. On major matters, he consulted the ministers and listened to their opinions.
"Father, I am really not good at handling these things, so you should do it."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned slightly red, he thought about it and said.
"Sooner or later, this country will be passed into your hands, and sooner or later you will have to learn to handle national affairs."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled, then pointed to a pile of memorials on his desk and said, "You finish approving these memorials today, and I will check them later."
"Yes~"
Zhu Houzhao looked at the memorials of Lao Gao piled on Emperor Hongzhi's desk. He couldn't help but frown, but he still nodded and replied.
"Hmm~"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded with satisfaction, and then left the Chancellor's Study Room directly, leaving Zhu Houzhao to review the memorials alone, while he was going to take a good look at the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital.
Emperor Hongzhi came to Tianlao.
"Join Your Majesty~"
Seeing Emperor Hongzhi coming in person, Mou Bin, the Jin Yiwei who was responsible for hearing the matter, also hurriedly came to pick him up.
"No need, how is the trial going?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked very ugly and asked calmly.
"Back to Your Majesty, the case is currently under investigation. Judging from the current situation, Zhang Yu, who is in charge of the Taiyuan Hospital, and Liu Wentai, Gao Tinghe, who is in charge of the Taiyuan Hospital, are very good personal friends and have been accepting bribes for a long time."
"In addition, they also collaborated to steal and sell royal medicines from the palace. From Zhang Yu's home, we found deposit certificates from the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty amounting to thirty taels."
Mou Bin also replied immediately.
Mou Bin is considered to be the most upright person among the previous commanders of the Jinyi Guards. There is no slander in what he said. They were all explained by Zhang Yu, Liu Wentai, Gao Tinghe and others themselves.
"Hmm~"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly. Stealing and selling imperial medicines in the palace had happened in all dynasties. It was nothing. If you rely on mountains and rivers, you must rely on the palace. Naturally, you have to eat the palace.
Not only the Imperial Hospital, but also all the large and small departments in the palace were similar. Most of the eunuchs, maids, etc. in the palace also gained some benefits from it. Sometimes even Emperor Hongzhi's personal treasures might be stolen and sold.
Emperor Hongzhi knew this very well and didn't care much.
What he really cares about now is the level of the imperial doctors in the palace, and why they hide their illness.
"Immediately invite some famous doctors from the capital to come over, and also invite some sick people, and then let the imperial doctors from the palace and the famous doctors invited from outside perform diagnosis and treatment respectively. I would like to take a look at these imperial doctors.
How good are the imperial doctors?"
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and then gave instructions.
"Yes~"
Mou Bin nodded immediately, and soon someone from Jinyiwei went to take care of the matter.
Emperor Hongzhi waited very patiently. While waiting, he watched from behind the scenes as the Jin Yiwei interrogated Zhang Yu, Liu Wentai, Gao Ting and others.
"Eunuch Zhang, you should explain it truthfully and clearly, right?"
Because Mou Bin was very upright, there was no use in punishing Zhang Yu, Liu Wentai and the others. However, when they arrived at the prison, Zhang Yu, Liu Wentai, Gao Ting and the others knew that a disaster was coming, and all of them had lost their energy and energy.
.
"I have made it very clear that I just collected some bribes and had no intention of harming the emperor. The emperor's condition was diagnosed by the doctors at the Imperial Hospital and has nothing to do with me."
Zhang Yu persisted in insisting that taking a bribe was just taking a bribe, it was no big deal. Who among the father-in-laws in charge of the palace had not accepted Xiao Jing from the people below?
I am just like everyone else, nothing more.
But if you want to say that you murder the emperor, you will never admit it. Murdering the emperor is not only a capital crime, it is the execution of the nine tribes. The fastest update mobile version::
"You took bribes, appointed Liu Wentai and Gao Tinghe, and said it had nothing to do with you. Don't you know how good these two people's medical skills are?"
Jin Yiwei, who was hearing the case, asked again.
"It is difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior medical skills. How can I really know who has high medical skills and who has low medical skills?"
Zhang Yu naturally refused to admit it. He was probably going to die, but he couldn't harm his nine clans.
Emperor Hongzhi watched coldly from behind the scenes. He used to trust Zhang Yu very much, but who knew that Zhang Yu actually had 300,000 taels of silver in the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the gold and silver jewelry seized from this house, Tian
Deeds, house deeds, etc. really dug up a lot of big rats.
"Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made."
Mou Bin acted quickly and soon invited some famous doctors and patients from the capital.
"let's start."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded and ordered.
In the prison, Liu Wentai, Gao Tinghe, Fang Shuhe and others were separated and interrogated by Jin Yiwei. At this time, everyone was scared to death, and they had already confessed many things in detail.
"Liu Wentai, you are the judge of Tai Hospital, so you must have good medical skills. Let's test your medical skills first."
Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of interrogating Liu Wentai, brought a patient who kept coughing up and asked Liu Wentai to treat him.
When Liu Wentai heard this, he suddenly started to sweat on his forehead. He still knew very well how much he weighed. If he came to see a doctor alone, wouldn't it be all exposed at once?
"I'm in Tianlao. How can I think about treating people? Besides, I don't have a medicine box with me."
After thinking about it, Liu Wentai also said.
"It's not up to you whether you have your own thoughts or not. If your medical skills are not good, it means you are kidding with the emperor's life, so you'd better treat the doctor honestly, and it's better to be more precise."
Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of the trial, said coldly.
His words also made Liu Wentai speechless. He had to put away his panic and calm down to start diagnosing the patient's pulse.
However, his skills were limited and he couldn't tell what common typhoid and colds were like. When he looked sick, his whole body broke out in cold sweat, and his pulse-diagnosing hand trembled. It looked like he was more like a patient.
.
By diagnosing the pulse and asking some questions about the patient, Liu Wentai basically judged that the person had a cold. However, while writing the prescription, Liu Wentai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Because he memorized very few prescriptions, only a few to replenish and nourish the body. As for other prescriptions, he didn't memorize them at all, and he didn't know how to appropriately reduce or add some medicinal materials and ingredients.
Measurement.
Emperor Hongzhi was different from other emperors in the past. He only had one wife. In the entire palace, only Emperor Hongzhi, Empress Zhang, Queen Mother Zhou and the Crown Prince needed medical treatment from the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital.
As a court judge, he has always asked his imperial doctors to prescribe prescriptions, and he himself has not memorized too many prescriptions at all.
Now when it was time to write the prescription, Liu Wentai's hand holding the pen was shaking constantly. He thought about it and wrote over and over again, but he couldn't even write out the prescription.
On the other side, these famous doctors invited from the Beijing Hospital are different. They are all very experienced. They look, smell, and ask, and there are many of them. They carefully diagnose the pulse and ask about the symptoms. Each one quickly makes a judgment and then writes it down.
The formulas are basically the same.
The difference in both the medicinal materials and dosages used is very small, which means that it is basically possible to judge the patient's condition. But looking at Liu Wentai, he does not look like an imperial doctor at all, but more like a doctor who has just started to learn to treat diseases.
A sick apprentice is full of mistakes.
I didn't do everything carefully enough. I judged the condition wrongly, and the prescription I wrote was completely opposite.
"Such a quack doctor has been treating me all this time?"
Emperor Hongzhi saw this comparison clearly, and immediately saw clearly the situation of Liu Wentai, Gao Tinghe, Fang Shuhe and others.
These imperial doctors are all quacks. They don't know how to treat illnesses and save people. Not only can they not diagnose the disease, but the prescriptions they prescribe are not treating illnesses and saving people at all. They may even be harming people.
Emperor Hongzhi was in disbelief. He had always felt that the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital were trustworthy. After all, every time something happened, a large number of imperial doctors would come to see the doctor, and everyone would discuss it carefully before prescribing a prescription.
Who would have known that not many of the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital had real talent and knowledge, especially the court judges, whether Liu Wentai or Gao Tinghe, were both quacks and did a lot of harm to people.
He could not diagnose the disease, nor could he prescribe any prescription to cure the disease or save the patient. However, such a person became the judge of the Taiyuan Hospital, and was specifically responsible for visiting the palace to see and treat diseases for himself and the ladies in the palace.
"It's really unimaginable that such a quack doctor can make court decisions, and no one has ever discovered it."
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but lament that his life was long enough. It was a miracle that he could still live to this day after being treated and treated by such a group of quack doctors.
"Continue to examine, examine carefully, I want to see how these quack doctors diagnose me."
Hongzhi's face was full of murderous intent. He had been harmed by such a quack doctor. He clearly had intestinal carbuncle but could not diagnose it. The key was to prescribe tonics for himself, making his body worse and worse. This deficiency could not be replenished.
, a man in his thirties is just like an old man in his fifties or sixties.
These quacks have no other skills, but their ability to flatter is very powerful. They know how to use gold and silver to obtain official positions, how to use good words and lies to deceive themselves, and how to take advantage of the loopholes in the hospital system to take advantage of others.
He was obviously a quack doctor, but he became the royal doctor treating the prince.
My life and death are actually in the hands of such a group of people.
