Chapter 164: The Son of Heaven's Privacy 【Seeking Monthly Ticket】
Chu Yi just smiled slightly and said: "Old Duke should know better than Mr. Chu whether those people thrown into prison by Mr. Chu deserve their punishment!"
Zhang Mao snorted. Chu Yi's every move in the past few days was watched by countless people, including the British Duke Zhang Mao.
With Zhang Mao's seniority and network of connections, even if Zhang Mao couldn't possibly know everything about the officials in the capital, he at least knew about some of them.
It was precisely because Zhang Mao knew better than anyone else who the officials investigated by Chu Yi were, that he sat on the sidelines for several days before coming to see Zhu Houzhao.
If Chu Yi really implicated innocent people and created some unjust, false or wrongful conviction, Zhang Mao would have come to see Zhu Houzhao long ago to impeach Chu Yi.
Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said to Zhang Mao without thinking: "Don't worry, I believe that Chu Daban will not deceive me. Besides, these people all deserve what they deserve. If I don't kill these people this time, I will really
I don’t know what kind of things they will do in the future.”
Zhang Mao sighed, Zhu Houzhao trusted Chu Yi far more than he expected.
When Liu Jin was in power, Zhang Mao once persuaded Zhu Houzhao. At that time, Zhu Houzhao's attitude towards Liu Jin was not as trusting as he is towards Chu Yi now.
There is obviously a difference between the two, but this is not surprising. If Zhu Houzhao did not fully trust Chu Yi, how could he have handed over the two departments of Li Supervisor and Royal Horse Supervisor to Chu Yi?
Zhang Mao talked with the emperor for a while and then left.
Chu Yi, Gu Dayong and Zhu Houzhao were the only three people left in the palace.
Zhu Houzhao said to Chu Yi: "Chu Daban, the old Duke has such a temper. In the Tumu Fort Incident, the old British Duke Zhang Fu died on the battlefield. Since then, the old Duke has disliked all the servants, but he
It’s not that I have any bad intentions.”
Being able to let Zhu Houzhao explain to Zhang Mao shows that the relationship between the British public line and the royal family is very close. They are worthy of being the same as the country, and the Zhang family is the head of the capital.
Chu Yi smiled and said: "As His Majesty said, the old Duke is not targeting me alone. No wonder Wang Zhen's actions had such a bad impact on our Ming Dynasty that the old Duke turned against all the servants.
Everyone has an opinion.”
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me, my old master. If anything happens, I will explain it to you."
Chu Yi nodded slightly, thinking about the purpose of his visit, he couldn't help but show a bit of hesitation on his face.
Zhu Houzhao, who was flipping through the cases, raised his head and noticed Chu Yi's expression. He couldn't help but put down the cases and said, "My eldest companion is hesitant. Is there something you want to tell me?"
Chu Yi took a deep breath, looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, not long ago, there was a rumor that was very popular in Beijing. I don't know whether I should tell it to Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said in surprise: "Oh, what kind of rumors are you talking about? Come and hear them."
Gu Dayong on the side was slightly stunned, with a strange look on his face. After all, Gu Dayong was in charge of the West Factory. Although Yuhuatian had not returned to the capital yet, it did not prevent Gu Dayong from learning about Beijing through the channels of the West Factory.
The movement.
Hearing Chu Yi mention the rumors, Gu Dayong couldn't help but think of a rumor mentioned in the West Factory intelligence he saw the day before yesterday.
Chu Yi said slowly: "Your Majesty, there is a rumor in the capital recently that your Majesty has no heirs, but it is because your Majesty is not close to women and favors us and other internal servants..."
With a bang, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but throw the memorial in his hand on the table, and said with an ugly face: "Absurd, really ridiculous! Who could humiliate me like this!"
As for whether Zhu Houzhao likes male sex, Chu Yi really didn't notice that Zhu Houzhao had such tendencies and hobbies. Looking at Zhu Houzhao's reaction at this time, Chu Yi knew that even if Zhu Houzhao might change in the future, at least he hasn't done that yet.
tendencies.
With a slight cough, Chu Yi said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, calm down. The reason why these people fabricate such rumors is just to disgust me and Your Majesty. However, this also exposed a fatal flaw of Your Majesty."
After all, Zhu Houzhao was not a fool. After calming down, he looked at Chu Yi and said solemnly: "Do you mean that I have no children?"
Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao with a serious look and nodded: "Yes, your Majesty is the emperor. If you have no children, the country will not be solid and the society will be unstable. It will inevitably be criticized by others! Even as time goes by, it is impossible to say that there will be
People have thoughts that they shouldn’t have.”
"They dare!"
With a cold snort, Zhu Houzhao said with a gloomy expression.
After a while, Zhu Houzhao looked at Gu Dayong, then looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Gu Dayong, Chu Dayong, you are all people I trust. In fact, I am also very doubtful, whether it is the queen or several concubines.
It’s not like I haven’t been favored by others, but I still haven’t given birth to a dragon. Do you think it’s me..."
It's not surprising that Zhu Houzhao was muttering in his heart. After all, whoever it is, there are so many women, one or two are not pregnant, but there is no movement at all, then it can only be his own problem.
It's just that Zhu Houzhao couldn't talk to outsiders about such extremely private issues. It could even be said that he didn't even dare to ask the imperial doctor.
Otherwise, if any rumors spread, what dignity will he, the majestic king of a country, have?
That is to say, Chu Yi had great trust in Gu Dayong and regarded them as his confidants. In addition, Chu Yi mentioned this again, so Zhu Houzhao reluctantly expressed his doubts.
Chu Yi and Gu Dayong looked at each other. To be honest, the less people know about such a private matter, the better. However, it is a matter of national importance, and Chu Yi is even more aware that Zhu Houzhao suffered a big loss in this regard, even his own life.
They are all involved, so there is absolutely no way he can just sit back and watch.
Only when Zhu Houzhao's throne was stable, and only with Zhu Houzhao's support, could he legitimately carry out his ideas and gain a lot of luck.
Helping Zhu Houzhao is helping him. Otherwise, with the speed at which he is gaining luck, Chu Yi is really worried about whether he will be able to gather the luck he needs to go back.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Yi stepped forward and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, in the past, I read the Yellow Emperor's Neijing and other medical classics in the imperial history. I thought that I was also proficient in medical skills. Why don't you let me help your majesty?"
Check your pulse!"
After expressing the doubts in his heart, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have relieved a burden and laughed loudly: "My eldest companion actually knows medical skills. I'm really curious, what else does my eldest companion not know?"
While speaking, Zhu Houzhao stretched out his wrist, and Chu Yi put a hand on Zhu Houzhao's wrist. Not only Zhu Houzhao, but also Gu Dayong held his breath and looked at Chu Yi.
After a while, Chu Yi finally stopped his hand, with a look of confusion on his face. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said: "My companion, is there something wrong with my body?"
Zhu Houzhao was really worried. With this kind of imperial privacy, it was hard for him to find an imperial doctor. Now that Chu Yi knew medical skills and could help him feel his pulse, and with Chu Yi's expression, Zhu Houzhao was naturally curious about whether there was anything wrong with his body.
Chu Yi slowly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I just took your Majesty's pulse and found that your Majesty's pulse is steady and strong, slow and normal, and there is nothing abnormal."
In fact, Zhu Houzhao is only in his twenties now, he is still in his youth, and his physical condition is not problematic at all.
Of course, Chu Yi can only say that he is proficient in medical skills, but it is impossible to say that he is better than famous doctors. After all, Chu Yi has learned medical skills by himself and has hardly handled any patients. In terms of theory, he may be better than many famous doctors, but
Once he comes into contact with some diseases, Chu Yi may not even have the experience of ordinary doctors.
Zhu Houzhao had great trust in Chu Yi. Hearing what Chu Yi said, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Since my companion said there is nothing wrong with my body, I guess there is nothing wrong with me. As for the heir, I guess there is no chance."
Bar."
With a slight cough, Chu Yi knew that he had been born in two generations, and he still knew something about infertility in modern medicine. Even if a person is strong, it does not mean that he will be able to give birth.
It is a matter of national foundation and future. Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, I am not good at medicine, but it is a matter of family. Besides, as your Majesty gets older, the issue of heirs must be taken seriously, so I recommend two experts to your Majesty, maybe.
They can help His Majesty give birth to a dragon son."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but said curiously: "Oh, my dear friend, please come quickly. I don't know why he is so respected by my dear friend."
Chu Yi has always been calm and rarely praises others, but now he calls the other person a master. In Zhu Houzhao's view, unless Chu Yi lied to him, it will definitely not be easy for someone who is valued by Chu Yi.
Chu Yi looked righteous and said: "Your Majesty, do you know how to be righteous?"
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "Zhang Tianshi's lineage in Longhu Mountain is the representative of Zhengdao. How could I not know that the master mentioned by the great companion is Zhang Tianshi?"
Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "I don't know whether Zhang Tianshi is an expert in medicine, but there is an expert in Zhengdao who is proficient in the art of the room, and he should be able to be of help to Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao looked curious and listened to Chu Yi say: "It is said that this person happened to meet me at the Duke of Wei's house when I was in the south of the Yangtze River. This person's name is Shao Yuanjie, and he is a guest of Duke Wei. He has an immortal spirit and is actually a Taoist master.
people!"
With a bright light in his eyes, Shao Yuanjie was valued by Duke Wei, and Chu Yi also praised him as a master. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but nodded and said: "I will send an order to Duke Wei and invite this Taoist Shao Yuanjie to come to Beijing to preach for me!"
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi and said, "Just now, my companion said that two experts recommended him to me. Besides Taoist Shao Yuanjie, who is the other expert?"
