Doctor He looked horrified and knelt on the ground trembling.
He didn't dare to look up at the prince's face, but he could feel the huge majesty coming from above his head.
This pressure made him breathless.
"He Shouyi."
Li Chen was holding all the information about Dr. He transferred from Dongchang. He said calmly: "Your He family has been practicing medicine for generations. Ever since your grandfather used an ancestral prescription to treat the epidemic that broke out in Huizhou,
From your grandfather to your father and then to you, he has always been the imperial doctor in the imperial hospital."
"In the past few decades, the three generations of your family have witnessed a lot of things that the royal family has seen and seen."
Cold sweat dripped from He Shouyi's forehead like a faucet was turned on. Faced with this extremely risky question, he didn't know how to answer it.
Fortunately, Li Chen didn't seem to listen to his answer and continued: "It is good to be an official. That is to be a local official. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. He has real power in his hands. He is almost the same as a local emperor. This kind of official is easy to be."
"It's difficult to be a capital official because you are at the emperor's feet, and you don't have that much freedom under the emperor's nose."
"And the most difficult thing to do is to be an official next to the emperor, such as an imperial physician. They don't have much real power. They have direct contact with the royal family and their relatives. If they are not careful, they will have their heads chopped off. They have to be cautious and cautious for decades. When they are old,
It’s just a food, clothing and good reputation, right?”
He Shouyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, held it in for a long time, then bowed his head and said, "It is a supreme honor for Weichen and the Weichen family to be able to contribute a small amount to the Tian family. Please be aware of it, Your Highness."
Li Chen said calmly: "Many people will say this, but who is true and who is false? I have to see something, right?"
Now that the words have come to this, He Shouyi can no longer pretend to be stupid and try to get through. He grits his teeth and says: "Wei Chen is one person, and it is not a pity to die. I am willing to go through fire and water for your highness, but please let your family go."
Life."
"You have neither committed any crime nor have you ever done anything wrong to me. Why do I want to kill you and your family?"
Li Chen said calmly: "Many things are not as complicated as you think. Yes, I want you to come forward to testify against King Zhao for killing the Ninth Prince with your own hands that day, but I have no intention of silencing you afterwards. Not only will I not
If I silence you, I will give you a heavy reward."
"Since ancient times, when princes seize the throne, most of the ministers involved will not end well, especially for such direct accusations. I also know your worries, so I can first issue an imperial edict to pardon your innocence. In this way,
Are you relieved?"
He Shouyi raised his head in astonishment and asked subconsciously: "Your Highness, why do you treat me so favorably?"
Li Chen smiled and said: "I would like to lend you my body so that the civil and military officials of the court and the whole world can see that I treat people well, and I will not kill others. As long as you are willing to do things for me, then
There must be a bright future.”
He Shouyi's heart trembled slightly.
Why didn't anyone dare to tell such a big secret at that time?
It is because he believes that once he is involved in the fight between the prince and the prince, no matter who wins or loses, he will not end well.
If Li Yinhu, who was still the eighth prince at that time, won in the end, he would definitely be the first to kill him.
And if the prince had the last laugh, he might not keep a chess piece that has no use value.
