Chapter 12 Rumors

() The imperial doctor’s surname was Huang and his name was Dong Pray. He was good at detoxification and recuperation. After entering, he knelt down and saluted.

Emperor Chongzhen did not waste any time and directly asked Dr. Huang who was kneeling on the ground: "How is Zhong Jinwei's injury?"

Medical doctor Huang said: "Reporting to your majesty, the injury on Zhong Jinwei's right arm is not serious and the muscles and bones are not injured. The trouble is that the dagger is highly poisonous."

Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself, isn't this nonsense? Everyone knows this. So he asked: "How?"

Doctor Huang showed doubts on his face and said: "Your Majesty, this poison has been identified as the poison of the filthy throat-sealing insect. This insect grows all year round in the most filthy and smelly places in the Western Regions. It is extremely rare. If a person is poisoned, it will only take a moment.

It can kill people and is very powerful. Fortunately, just after being poisoned, the guards let out blood and squeezed out the poison. But if it were an ordinary person, he might still be dead. However, Wei Chen found it strange that Zhong Jinwei may be gifted. This poison is very effective against

The impact is not as severe as Wei Chen imagined. He is currently in a coma, but his life is no longer in danger."

What Huang Yuyi didn't know was that in Zhong Jinwei's time, he lived surrounded by waste oil. After being watered and cultivated with other chemicals such as melamine, as well as various vaccines and other prevention and treatment, the body's resistance was no longer what it was at that time.

Comparable. There was even a joke about this in later generations: if a biological crisis occurred on the earth, the last survivors would be the Chinese.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that Dr. Huang said that Zhong Jinwei was no longer in danger, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, so he said, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear. Do you know when Zhong Jinwei will wake up?"

Huang Yuyi thought for a moment and said with a confused face: "Your Majesty, I really don't know. This is the first time I've seen such a strange thing. It's really hard to be sure when I will wake up. I don't dare to talk nonsense."

Come and deceive you."

Emperor Chongzhen thought that it would be enough to be in coma for a few days. The imperial doctor did not dare to say nonsense because he was afraid of taking responsibility and that he would be punished if he said something wrong. Forget it, I will just wait a few days. So, let him

Dr. Huang retreated.

Besides, Wen Tiren came out of the palace and went home directly. After returning home, he locked himself in the study and let no one disturb him. Then he took up a pen and recorded in detail what Zhong Jinwei said today, and pressed the clock for Jinwei.

It outlines the general topography of the country and several provinces, and labels all the items. Finally, it is hung on the wall, and I move a chair to sit in front of it and observe it carefully.

In fact, Wen Tiren has always had great ambitions. He saw the political changes in the late Ming Dynasty one by one, and he did not approve of the reform measures of Zhang Juzheng's first assistant during the Wanli period, especially the whip law. He believed that the whip law would increase the tax revenue of the treasury on the surface.

, but in fact, it is fishing in the marsh. It does not mean that a whip is used to severely scratch the people, but that the officials below use a whip to plunder the people in the process of exchanging silver and paying taxes. It turns out that the people can relax during the good years.

, was also criticized by the officials for selling their sons and daughters, which led to the people's deprivation of livelihood. Therefore, he believed that the biggest crisis in this dynasty at present was the crisis of official administration. If the problem of official administration was not solved, any reform would be just talk on paper and would not be implemented in real terms.

Wen Tiren was a civil servant, and most of his colleagues around him were talkative people. They were very good at asking for bribes and scrapping land, but their ability to solve problems only remained lip service. Although Wen Tiren himself strictly demanded that he would not be greedy or bribery, he would not be greedy or bribery.

I am poor and want to do practical things, but I am limited by the environment. I feel like I have more than enough ambition but not enough power. Only by working hard to climb up and reach the position of chief minister can I have the strength to rectify the government and realize my ambitions.

Wen Tiren did not bother to form a party with those boastful colleagues to climb up the ladder. He could only work quietly on his own. Although the situation would be more difficult than forming a party, he also knew that the Holy Emperor would like this. Therefore, he had nothing to fear even if he had no allies.

.But today he saw a slight change.

The appearance of Zhong Jinwei first affected Emperor Chongzhen, and then Emperor Chongzhen came to him to explain to Zhong Jinwei. In other words, if he had a harmonious relationship with Zhong Jinwei, he would not be jealous of Emperor Chongzhen. What made him even more excited was that Zhong Jinwei also

He clearly raised the issue of government administration, and he was a fellow-minded person. Finally, the most important thing is that Wang Chengen once said that Zhong Jinwei was not interested in being an official, so the conflict with his own interests was minimal, and he was a worthy partner. But it is a pity that now because of the rescue,

He was stabbed by an assassin while driving. Thinking of the flashing blue dagger, I couldn't help but worry about that young man.

Wen Tiren was sitting on a chair and thinking silently. It was worth it that he finally realized that it was getting late when he couldn't see clearly. Those who opened the study looked at the direction of the palace and said silently in their hearts: Young people, you must hold on.

In the capital, the business of Zuixianlou is as prosperous as ever. The wine here is the owner's unique secret. It smells delicious and is spicy when it enters the throat. It is a specialty of the capital. The waiter in the lobby is busy greeting the guests. At this time, from the door

A man walked in. He was in his forties, well-dressed, and had a long beard. He looked very handsome. As soon as he entered the door, he called the waiter: "Young waiter, take me to Lu Dongbin (that's the name of the private room)."

As soon as the waiter heard someone saying hello, he hurriedly walked over and said: "Objectively, unfortunately, Lu Dongbin has been hired by someone else. Is there another guest..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the visitor and said: "

Don't talk nonsense, that person is my good friend and will lead the way."

When the waiter heard this, he smiled and quickly led the way to avoid being lectured again.

When I came to Lu Dongbin's place, I opened the door curtain and saw my old friend drinking and eating food, while listening to a singer in her twenties and eighties singing a popular ditty. So I went in and said, "Brother Gao is so elegant!"

When the man who was drinking in the seat saw him, he quickly stood up and said, "My dear brother is late. You should be punished with three drinks. Come on, come on. Sit here."

After the two parties were polite and sat down, the host threw a small piece of silver and let the singer and others exit the private room.

The hosts of this banquet were named Gao and Jie, and the guests were named Yuan and Hongxun, both of whom were censors of the Inspectorate. Gao Jie spoke up and said, "Brother, I heard rumors in the palace that a person suddenly appeared in the air.

Appearing in front of His Majesty, they are all called immortals. I don't say anything about my strange power and chaos. I see that the eunuchs in the palace are causing trouble and creating rumors. I am afraid that they will cause trouble again and the eunuchs will rise again. I am going to use this as an opportunity to write a memorial and report to Your Majesty.

, give the eunuch another hard punch."

When Yuan Hongxun heard this, he looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then he mysteriously said to Gao Jie: "Brother Gao, haven't you heard about what happened in the afternoon?"

As soon as Gao Jie heard this, he knew there was some important gossip and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Liaodong has been defeated again?"

This is that and that. Although Liaodong is often defeated, it is not so frightening. So Yuan Hongxun said: "No, no. The rumors in the palace are true. His Majesty was assassinated this afternoon, all because of that immortal

We saved each other and prevented the assassin from succeeding."

"What, this is happening? Who dares to assassinate His Majesty?" When Gao Jie heard this, he jumped up excitedly.

When Yuan Hongxun saw it, he quickly asked him to calm down and said: "It is said that it was a chamberlain who stabbed His Majesty from behind with a poisoned dagger. It was only because of that person's sacrifice of his life to block the knife that Your Majesty was safe and sound."

Gao Jie was startled, and then murmured: "Is it possible that there really are immortals who came down to earth to help the Ming Dynasty? The prince has just been born, something unexpected happens to your majesty, and the young master is doubtful. It is not the blessing of the Ming Dynasty."

Yuan Hongxun said: "Brother Gao, it's better not to write the memorial for now and wait and see what the situation is."

Gao Jie cupped his hands towards Yuan Hongxun and said: "Thanks to my dear brother for reminding me, I almost made a mistake. Come and give me a drink." Just as they were about to pick up their wine glasses, they heard movement outside the door, so Yuan Hongxun shouted: "Door

Who else?"

A voice sounded outside the door and said: "Objective, I'm here to serve you the food." Then the curtain was raised, and it turned out to be a waiter who was serving the food. So, there was no more words. After that, he didn't talk about it anymore, and he just drank and had fun.

Then everyone returned to their homes.

After serving the food, the waiter returned downstairs and saw the shopkeeper's ink mark. He couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, what are the guests in the Ludong guest room doing?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the waiter and said: "What are you asking about? You just have to serve me well. If you don't serve me well, I can't save you. I am the censor of the imperial court."

The waiter smiled sarcastically and said, "That's it, that's it."

At night, the waiter was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep. His wife was unhappy and said, "What are you doing? You're tossing and turning and won't let me sleep. Are you thinking about that sweetheart outside?"

When the waiter heard this, he turned sideways and said to his wife: "Don't talk nonsense about this matter." After the training, he said to his wife mysteriously: "Do you believe in gods?"

"Nonsense, I went to burn incense the day before, and you didn't know that." His wife was baffled by his words.

The waiter didn't take it seriously, and lowered his voice and said to his wife: "I'm telling you a secret, but you must not tell it."

Women are naturally curious about gossip. As soon as they hear gossip, they immediately perk up and say, "Okay, no problem. I'm famous for having a tight mouth."

The waiter curled his lips, but couldn't hold it in any longer, so he shared it with his wife. He said, "There were two court officials in the store today who told a shocking secret. I accidentally overheard it."

The waiter's wife's curiosity index suddenly rose to the maximum. She hurriedly asked: "What is this shocking secret? Come on, tell me."

At this time, the waiter was no longer anxious, and said with a look of enjoyment: "You may not believe me if I tell you, so I won't tell you anymore."

His wife became anxious, shook her waiter and said, "My dear husband, my dear husband, you have only half-finished what you said. You are hanging my addiction in the air. I feel so uncomfortable. Please tell me quickly."

The waiter was very proud and said: "After thinking about it, I might as well stop saying it because I don't want to talk nonsense."

The waiter's wife was angry, stretched out her hand and pinched the waiter's belly, and said, "You said it or not?" Sometimes, people are just mean, so the waiter quickly begged for mercy, and then said to his wife: "Madam, my husband is in the store today.

I heard two court officials saying that a god appeared in the palace and took action to kill an assassin who assassinated the Holy Emperor, thus saving His Majesty's life. I heard that he was sent by God to help His Majesty."

When the second wife heard this, she was surprised and said: "A god really appeared? And he saved the Holy One?"

The waiter was not happy when he heard this and said, "Forget it if you don't believe me, go to bed." The waiter's wife pestered him again, and the couple continued to discuss the matter in depth.
