Although he really wanted to stay together for a while, Chang Yuncheng still sent Qi Yue back to Chen's home.
"Auntie is worried too. You should take a break. You've been up for so long," he said.
"Mrs. Chen is the prince's aunt, why don't the prince live here too?" Ah Hao said from the side.
A Ru pulled her behind.
How can it be the same!
Ah Hao sticks out his tongue.
Chang Yuncheng smiled and shook his head.
"How inconvenient." He said, pointing out to Qi Yue where he lived, "The first house in the alley on the left side of the street is the one you turn to. Aru and the others know that you can find me at any time."
Qi Yue nodded. Although it was said that things had taken a turn for the better, in the end everything still belonged to the emperor. What the matter would be like was still undecided, and it was not yet time for them to relax and celebrate.
After that day passed, news of Zhou Maochun's imprisonment spread throughout the capital.
"..You mean you were wrongly accused?"
"…Pitiful…"
"...At such an old age, I heard that he is a very powerful imperial physician..."
This conversation gradually spread, and although no one dared to say who had been wronged, everyone understood the meaning.
The atmosphere in the court was a little strange.
What does Zhou Maochun want to do this time? Doesn't he still know the emperor's temper?
Are you really that old and confused? Do you want to die?
The palace lanterns were lit, and the palace door opened quietly, and someone came in from the outside.
"Your Majesty, this is today's memorial." Li Tong bowed and said.
The emperor raised his hand.
Li Tong understood and put the pile of memorials in his hand on the left side of the desk.
There are already a thick stack of no less than twenty or thirty books piled there.
Li Tong lowered his head and retreated. Before going out, he heard the emperor speak.
"...These are all to impeach you..."
His ears twitched.
Of course, he knew that the emperor did not mean this to him, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Zhou Maochun kneeling on the ground.
"Play it, it's strange that they don't play it." Zhou Maochun said lazily, while touching his messy hair, which still had some straw on it.
The emperor put down the book in his hand, changed his posture, and looked at Zhou Maochun with his head on his hands.
"Tell me, what do you mean?" he asked, "Don't pretend to be stupid or crazy like me."
Zhou Maochun sighed.
"Your Majesty is asking me why I deliberately made things worse?" he asked.
The emperor looked at him, patted his knees gently with his hand, and said nothing.
I was sued and there was no defense from beginning to end.
Now that we have the evidence for the confrontation, it is still not a defense but a joke.
"Don't you just want to make a fuss and anger me?" the emperor said, half-smiling, "don't you just think that I am the kind of person who likes to do the opposite of others?"
"I don't have any other intentions. I actually want to show His Majesty how difficult it is to do something." Zhou Maochun said.
How many villains, how many doubts, how many walls are pushed down by everyone.
The emperor frowned.
Zhou Maochun sighed again.
"Your Majesty, I am going to die soon," he said.
The emperor's expression paused slightly.
This is the second person who has said this to him in the past few days.
What's going on here?
"I would like to entrust someone to Your Majesty." Zhou Maochun continued, looking disappointed.
The emperor's hand continued to tap his knee gently.
"A woman is really worth risking your life for making trouble!" He sneered, "Just because she healed some wounded soldiers? Zhou Maochun, don't treat me like a fool."
Wounded soldiers are wounded soldiers after all. Even if their lives are saved, a large number of them will eventually be unable to fight again.
Although it seems shocking compared to the past, for an emperor who looks at the world, it is good to be able to nod and praise him.
Doctors value life, but for those in power, dignity and interests are more important.
Treating the wounded soldiers is, after all, more important than attacking the city and seizing the stronghold, capturing thieves and slaves, and increasing the prestige of our army.
Zhou Maochun obviously understood and nodded accordingly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, of course it is not because of this, but because she dares to do this." He said after plastic surgery.
The emperor smiled, leaned forward, and held the teacup on the table in his hand.
"What dare you? You are just a troublemaker!" he said, "If you were smart, how could you have caused all these troubles today?"
He said this and knocked on the table.
"Qi Yueniang, the wife of the Crown Prince of Dingxi, said she was going to cure a disease but she made a curse, was falsely accused of saving her life, and was almost beaten to death; the prevention and treatment of plague caused resentment in the city..." he continued quietly.
In the past two days, the emperor had already inquired clearly about Qi Yueniang's affairs.
Some things were even heard by Zhou Maochun for the first time.
"How did she bet to cure the disease?" he asked curiously.
"There was a patient, and a doctor said that Qianjintang was responsible for her death if she was treated badly by Qianjintang. She said that she would not have died if they had not treated her. Just because of this matter, she said no, she just stared and swore in a few words.
Come on, tell me who loses and who kneels at the city gate. Is this something a woman can do?" The emperor leaned forward slightly and said.
"Oh," Zhou Maochun also said with curiosity on his face, "Then what happened when he was almost beaten to death?"
"That, it's even more ridiculous to say, the thing is... cough..." the emperor said, coughing heavily in the middle of the sentence, sitting upright, and his face sank, "Zhou Maochun, I'm not here to talk nonsense with you!"
Zhou Maochun sat upright even though he was a little embarrassed.
"If you don't tell me, don't tell me. I'll go back and ask my daughter myself." He muttered.
The emperor sighed.
"Let's ask first to see if you are alive!" He slammed the tea cup on the table, "Say! Zhou Maochun, since Emperor Taizu, I have treated you with great kindness and respect. Is there such an honor?
Second person? And how did you repay me? Say, how do you want to repay me?"
"I would like to recommend Qi Yueniang of Qianjin Hall to Your Majesty." Zhou Maochun kowtowed without hesitation.
The emperor laughed angrily.
"So, you use this troublemaker to repay me?" he asked.
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because she dares to cause trouble that I recommend her to your Majesty." Zhou Maochun said, "Your Majesty, you also know how much trouble Qi Yueniang has caused, but if I ask you to tell me, I don't think she is causing trouble.
, she is trying, bringing hope, breaking and standing."
The emperor looked at him without speaking.
"Your Majesty, I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I know very well the mentality of doctors, especially in this hospital. Since they serve high-ranking officials and nobles, they are even more cautious. Since Your Majesty knows about Qi Yueniang's troubles, he naturally also knows that
What is the outcome of what we are facing? Let me ask, if it were another doctor, or if Qi Yueniang was not such a troublemaker, what would be the outcome of this matter?" Zhou Maochun continued.
The emperor still said nothing and snorted softly.
"Your Majesty may say that those things do not have to be done that way. Good results can be obtained by changing methods. Your Majesty, it is often said that doctors do not avoid risks. It does not mean that doctors do not know risks, but that doctors are very aware of risks. But when doctors face
The dangers are often so swift and severe that one cannot think twice before acting." Zhou Maochun said, kowtowing again, "Your Majesty, doesn't Madam Qi know the consequences of doing that? She really cannot be allowed to think carefully about every step.
Thoughtful, knowing the consequences but still doing it, this is not causing trouble, this is courage. If I had to use one word to describe her behavior, I would prefer the word "brilliant".
Having said this, he kowtowed heavily again and leaned to the ground.
"Your Majesty, I am not looking down on the doctors at the Imperial Hospital, nor am I belittling all the doctors in the world. I am just worried that after my death, if another noble person encounters a rapid illness like Empress Taizu, there will be no medical treatment available.
"He said in a deep voice.
The emperor was silent. He was still young at the time, but he clearly remembered that the imperial doctors of the Manchu Dynasty were helpless. In the end, the little-known Zhou Maochun stepped forward and adopted extremely dangerous methods to save the imperial grandmother.
Life.
When he grew up, he realized that it was not Zhou Maochun's superb skills, but his courage. Those imperial doctors knew how to treat and they could cure it, but because the risk was too high, they all shrank away and did not dare to take action.
In worldly affairs, if you do too much, you will make many mistakes. If you don't do anything, you will be safe and without mistakes.
"Your Majesty, only those who can cause trouble are those who are not afraid of trouble. If she is not afraid, she will not be afraid, push or delay. As long as she takes over, she will definitely go all out." Zhou Maochun raised his head.
, looked at the emperor with a gloomy expression, "Only with such a person by your majesty's side can I die with peace of mind."
The emperor sighed.
"Look at how high you are! How can I live without you?" he cursed.
"No, it's because the ministers can't live without His Majesty." Zhou Maochun said seriously, looking at the emperor, "The ministers are the intruders, and Your Majesty is the defender. Without His Majesty's backing, they are just intruders, not generals.
Already."
The emperor sighed.
"Go away." He scolded, "You clearly caused trouble and asked me to deal with the aftermath, but you still said it so righteously!"
The matter was finally settled, Zhou Maochun said yes, turned around and left.
The emperor stopped him again.
"When will you die?" he asked, his voice slightly nervous that he didn't even notice.
Life and death seem to be very mysterious and unpredictable things, but in fact, these accomplished doctors can determine the date of their own death, just like the former medical order Meng Xianglin, who said goodbye with a smile during routine diagnosis of the Queen Mother's pulse.
"Empress Dowager, I can no longer serve you." He said this with a smile and kowtow.
At that time, the Queen Mother and others thought he was saying that he was feeling unwell. Unexpectedly, after Meng Xianglin returned that night, he washed himself, called his family and disciples to explain his funeral affairs, and closed his eyes at dawn.
Zhou Maochun turned around with a bit of sadness.
"Death, everyone is going to die, sooner or later, it's always going to happen. You're going to die when it's time to die..." He twisted his beard and said with a hint of inscrutability.
The emperor was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized, he grabbed the tea cup on the table and smashed it down.
"You old fool, how dare you play tricks on me!" he cursed.
Zhou Maochun didn't stop this time, and ran away in a hurry, his movements were neat and smooth, and he didn't look at all like he was about to die.
The eunuchs standing outside and Li Tong were startled when they heard the cracking sound coming from inside.
It's over, the emperor must be angry.
Just as they were worried, Zhou Maochun rushed out and ran away without stopping. Everyone was stunned, and then heard the emperor's laughter coming from inside.
"This old bastard!"
Hearing this curse, Li Tong couldn't help but let out a breath. His body still stood steadily, but his hands hanging by his sides were shaking uncontrollably.
Thank God, everything is safe and sound! (To be continued)
