Chapter 1698 I don't know who is lying to me, I can only investigate further
"I, Zheng Yi, the envoy of the State of Korea, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the State of China. Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty! I have met His Highness the Crown Prince of the State of China. His Highness is a thousand years old!" The envoy from North Korea saw Yun, who was wearing a dragon robe.
, and seeing Wen Yuan again, he immediately knelt down and said.
"I love you," Yun said after he finished his salute.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Yi naturally kowtowed again, stood up and stood in front of Yun with his head bowed, waiting for Yun's enquiry.
"Zheng Aiqing, I remember that you were sent as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty in the first year of Jianye?" Yun did not immediately ask him what he meant by going to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy at this time, but asked this question.
"After your Majesty's inquiry, I did indeed go to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy in the first year of Jianye." Zheng Yi bowed hurriedly and said.
"And I remember that you were sent to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy, and you asked me for permission to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan? I remember that Aiqing said at that time that his ancestors were the sons of Zheng Guo Shaozheng in the Spring and Autumn Period." Yun said again.
"I did ask your Majesty to allow me to recognize my ancestor and return to my clan. I am deeply touched that your Majesty can remember such a trivial matter." Zheng Yi said with great emotion, and it was not all pretending. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty could remember ten things about himself.
The words he said during the audience many years ago, even if he only remembered them after looking through the records at the time, reflected the importance he attached to himself, they also moved him, and he even had the idea of choosing the right tree for a good bird to roost in an instant.
"Sure enough, I remember correctly." Yun said with a smile: "And I also know that Aiqing's eldest daughter married Zhu Bu, the second son of the King of Joseon, who was named Lord Xiaoning."
Yun further showed his understanding of himself, but Zheng Yi was not moved this time. Instead, he felt vigilant: Your Highness is right. The Ming Dynasty paid great attention to North Korea and even kept such things in mind. Fortunately, Your Highness
Shen Wen was not appointed as an envoy, otherwise his fault would most likely be exposed. While thinking about it, he said: "My eldest daughter is indeed married to Lord Xiaoning."
"I remember this correctly." Yun said with a smile.
The two of them chatted for a long time, ranging from Zheng Yi's relationship to various anecdotes. Until Yun felt thirsty, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then smiled and said: "Look, I have forgotten why I summoned you.
Already." He then sat upright and asked: "Zheng Aiqing, why did Zhu Fangyuan send you as an envoy at this time?"
"Your Majesty, I am sending an envoy to the country because of an important matter concerning the future of North Korea. Therefore, it is extremely important at this time. I, the King of North Korea, do not dare to act independently and send my ministers to ask Your Majesty to make a decision." Zheng Yi said hurriedly.
"What on earth is going on? Is it related to the future of North Korea?" Yun asked.
"Your Majesty, our Crown Prince has been ill since March and April last year and had to rest in the palace. Although everyone was worried about the Crown Prince's illness at first, the doctor said that the disease is not very serious and can be cured soon.
Okay, so everyone didn't care very much. But they didn't expect that the prince was still bedridden after a month. His Highness became panicked and ordered other doctors to treat him. At this time, he discovered that the doctor who had treated His Highness had made a misdiagnosis.
, His Highness was furious and threw the doctor into jail, and ordered the other doctors to treat His Highness seriously. However, due to a full month of delay, what was originally just a "depletion" disease turned into a serious illness, and the doctors were all talking to each other.
There has been endless debate as to what kind of disease Prince Wang is suffering from, and it is difficult to come to a conclusion. His Highness does not know whose advice he should follow, so he can only temporarily replenish his health and recover.
However, the Crown Prince never recovered. His Highness had no choice but to take the advice of several people and follow their diagnosis and treatment. However, the Crown Prince was still not cured. Not only that, the Crown Prince's illness became more serious. His Highness did not dare to act casually this time.
I tried to diagnose and treat him, but I had to treat him, so I was very anxious."
"Zhu actually suffered from such a disease? Why didn't you ask me to send an imperial doctor to treat him?" Yun asked in surprise.
"At first, His Highness thought that the Crown Prince's illness could be cured by North Korean doctors, so he did not request His Majesty to send an imperial doctor. Later, His Highness became a little anxious, but because His Highness's condition was relatively stable, he was worried about losing face in front of the Kingdom. He also heard that
There are also many miraculous doctors among the people in the Shang Dynasty, so they sent people from Peiping to invite many famous doctors to Seoul to diagnose and treat the prince. However, these miraculous doctors still failed to cure the prince's disease, so His Highness panicked and sent ministers to the capital to request that your Majesty send one.
The imperial doctor is treating the prince." After saying this, Zheng Yi knelt down and said: "The prince is a very important person in our country of Korea. Please send someone to treat him."
"Don't worry, I will definitely send someone with the most superb medical skills to treat Zhu." Yunxian promised to send an imperial doctor to treat Zhu, and then comforted Zheng Yi a few words, and then began to criticize Zhu Fangyuan. "The way of legacy is to hide illnesses and avoid medical treatment. He
They should have sent people to Beijing to plead with me when the North Korean doctors were arguing, instead of delaying it until today. Fortunately, Zhu's illness was not an acute illness. If it had been an acute illness, he would have died by now, and it would have been equivalent to killing him.
Your eldest son is the crown prince of Korea. Therefore, you must never hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. You must also talk to Yi De after you go back, and you must never do this in the future."
"I must obey your Majesty's wishes." Zheng Yi knelt down and said.
At this time, Yun ordered Lu Yi: "Go to the Taiyuan Hospital immediately, select the people with the most superb medical skills, and prepare to go to Seoul, North Korea immediately."
"Yes, official." Lu Yi agreed, turned around and left.
"Does Aiqing have anything else to report to me? If not, Aiqing should also lead his servants and go back together with the imperial doctor. After all, rescuing a sick person is like putting out a fire. What if you are too late and fail to rescue Zhu?
?So you should go back immediately." Yun ordered Zheng Yi again.
"I have one more thing, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to make a decision on behalf of His Highness." Zheng Yi knelt down again and said.
"What's the matter?" Yun asked, looking a little impatient.
"Your Majesty," Zheng Yi said cautiously: "His Royal Highness will naturally try his best to save the crown prince in order to cure him. But if the crown prince is still unable to cure his lingering illness, or even an unexpected disaster occurs, it will also be a very big blow to our country, North Korea.
.After all, the Crown Prince only has one daughter and no heirs, and His Highness is already over fifty years old. He has become even more haggard recently due to worries about the Crown Prince's condition. If something unexpected happens to the Crown Prince, His Highness may have something he cannot bear to say. If such a thing really happens,
, Korea will be in chaos."
"North Korea is the North Korea of our royal family. Naturally, our Highness does not want civil strife to occur. His Highness is worried about this and has sent a minister to the country to ask for your Majesty's advice."
"I understand what Aiqing means. But I haven't finished saying Aiqing's words, right?" Yun returned to his normal expression and said calmly.
"I have said everything your Highness has told you." Zheng Yidao.
"Haha," Yun actually laughed a few times, and then said coldly to Zheng Yi: "I have also seen Zhu Fangyuan. Although he very obeys the rules of the vassal state and asks me for all important matters, he must have had it in his heart before sending the envoy.
idea; this matter is related to the future of North Korea, how could Zhu Fangyuan have no idea? What are your intentions in concealing his thoughts and not telling me? "
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Zheng Yi could only kneel down again and said: "The king of our country does have some thoughts in his heart, but he asked me not to tell your Majesty for fear of affecting your Majesty, so I didn't say it. It was not that I meant to deceive.
.Please forgive me for my sins, Your Majesty."
"That's all, I will ask Yi De for confirmation on this matter. You first tell me what Yi De is thinking." Yun said.
"Your Majesty, the intention of our country's monarch is to first ask the imperial doctor of the Ming Dynasty to diagnose and treat the prince; but if the prince still cannot be cured, he will have no choice but to replace the prince." Zheng Yi said as if he had made a great determination.
"Who does Yi De prefer to be the successor?" Yun did not show any surprise, but asked calmly.
Zheng Yi was not surprised. Yun guessed that Zhu Fangyuan's thoughts were normal. "The king of our country has not yet made a decision. Both the second son and the third son have their own things that His Highness appreciates, and they also have things that His Highness does not like, so His Highness is still unable to make a decision."
Yun nodded and said, "Have you ever thought about becoming Zhu's adoptive son and inheriting the throne in the future?"
"His Highness has indeed thought about it, but His Highness has also considered that he is already very old. If something unbearable happens and the person who succeeds is too young, I am afraid that the young minister will be suspicious and there will be civil strife. Therefore, His Highness decided to replace the crown prince."
Yun asked Zheng Yi a few more questions, and finally said: "From this point of view, the only choice is to change the position of Crown Prince Yi. But you go back and tell Yi De that unless no one can cure Zhu, you must not change the throne of Crown Prince Yi."
If something happens, trouble will arise."
"I will remember it," Zheng Yi hurriedly agreed.
Yun nodded and asked him to retreat. Zheng Yi knelt down and bowed three times and kowtowed again, then turned and left Qianqing Palace.
After he left, Yun stood up and stretched, took another sip of tea, then turned to Wenyuan and said, "Do you think what Zheng Yi said today is true or false?"
"Father." After a while, Wen Yuan replied: "Although what he said is different from what his father said about Zhu Xinxin who fled from North Korea to the capital, they are consistent. It can be considered that what Zheng Yi said today is a bunch of nonsense.
, the king of North Korea really wants to hide everything from the sky, his father, and the court."
"But if you just listen to what Zheng Yi said today, there is no flaw. Because the father had talked about this matter with his son a few days ago, the son had already preconceived the idea that what Zheng Yi said was a lie; but the son heard it
Go, there is no contradiction in what Zheng Yi said, and it makes sense, and there is nothing wrong with his expression. The son really doesn't know and can't tell whether he told a lie. So the son can't tell whether it was Zheng Yi who deceived his father.
, or the so-called Zhu cronies who fled to the capital from North Korea deceived my father."
After saying this, Wen Yuan raised his head and looked at his father with some anxiety. He didn't know that his father had ever thought about Yi Chu, but he knew that his past performance did not satisfy his father. He really wanted to satisfy his father too,
After saying these words, he stared at his father's expression seriously.
"You are right. If we only listen to what Zheng Yi said today, there is no flaw in it; but the so-called Zhu's confidant who fled to the capital had no need to deceive my father. Now my father does not know who is lying." Yun said.
Hearing his father's words, Wen Yuan felt relieved and added: "So my son thinks that the top priority now is to investigate whether this matter is true or not."
"It really needs to be investigated clearly. How do you think it should be investigated?" Yun asked again.
"The son thought that the first thing to do was to find out what was going on with Zhu's health. The person his father sent to North Korea must be a national expert from Xinglin, and his medical skills were naturally better than those of North Korean doctors. He should be able to know what kind of body Zhu was in and what caused him to linger on his sickbed.
If it can be determined that Zhu's illness is man-made, or if it can be determined that it is not man-made, then the matter will be 80% clear."
"The second is to send people to North Korea to investigate other matters. If Zhu Guo is really 'sick' or 'pretending to be sick' because the king of North Korea wants to save money, there will definitely be no traces. My father should send people to investigate whether there are any traces. North Korea
There must be Jin Yiwei, and father can use Jin Yiwei to investigate." Wenyuan expressed his thoughts.
