The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1226

[1226. Chapter 1171 Healing]

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan arrived at the palace.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was not in Fengtian Palace, but in Qianning Palace.

In Qianning Palace, Queen Zhang had to avoid it.

Because at this moment, Xing Wang Zhu Youqi, cabinet bachelors Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, various ministers Wang Ao, Ma Wensheng, Zhang Shengren, etc., as well as the twelve eunuchs of the inner palace, Shen Wen, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and the British Duke Zhang Mao, Duke Dingguo and others.

Everyone was worried and frowned.

His Majesty was sitting on the couch, his eyes were milky white, and he looked very scary.

Liu Fang, the doctor of the Royal Hospital, cautiously took the medicine and came forward: “Your Majesty, it’s time to take the medicine.”

Emperor Hongzhi was helped to sit up and sighed: “You have always said that by clearing the liver and improving eyesight, the medicine can cure the disease. , but my condition has become more and more serious, and now, instead of being relieved, it has…”

Liu Fang didn’t know what to say.

This is indeed what the medical books say.

Emperor Hongzhi felt sad.

As the emperor, he is blind, so what does this have to do with being a cripple.

For more than half a month, he has almost been unable to read the memorial. In this dark world, it gave him a terrifying feeling.

It was as if…the world was cut off from him.

After decades of hard work, he suddenly could no longer deal with major national affairs, which made him extremely anxious.

A young eunuch served the medicine offered by Liu Fang.

From afar, you can smell the cool air of this medicine, including honeysuckle and mint.

Emperor Hongzhi took the medicine bowl and was about to drink it.

At this time, Xiao Jing hurried in: “Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Duke Qi are here.”

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, put down the medicine bowl, and raised his ears to listen.

Then I heard hurried footsteps.

“My son has met my father.”

Emperor Hongzhi felt warm in his heart when he heard this familiar voice.

He is just a son and a son-in-law.

He opened his eyes, showing a terrible milky white, but he smiled: “Ah, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time…”

Zhu Houzhao looked at his father, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, and walked on his knees. He stepped forward and asked, “Is father’s illness so serious?”

Emperor Hongzhi stretched out his hand, and Zhu Houzhao took the initiative to extend his hand. The father and son held hands, and Emperor Hongzhi said: “These days, the two of you have been , are all treating eye diseases, right?”

“Yes, Father.” Zhu Houzhao said: “My son…”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: “It’s not easy, it’s really not easy. My son is filial. Dear man, Houzhao, in my normal times, the emperor and heaven are above me, as are my ancestors and ancestors. At the beginning, I succeeded to the throne and inherited the inheritance of my ancestors. For more than 20 years, I have been walking on thin ice, fearing that I will be ashamed of myself. Forefathers and ancestors, I can’t stand the people of the world. But now, my eyesight is becoming more and more serious. You are my son, my blood, father and son are connected. I can’t deal with this national matter. Now… …This big responsibility should be on your shoulders, I will tell you…”

Zhu Houzhao said hurriedly: “Father, I am afraid that I will not be able to handle it.”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly: “Isn’t it normal that you are self-righteous? Today, I feel timid. Nothing is difficult in this world, all it takes is diligence. The people here are all my humerus ministers. I called them here today because I hope they can assist me with all their heart. You.”

Liu Jian and others were filled with sadness. Although it was not a separation of life and death, they all had red eyes when they thought of His Majesty. They prostrated themselves: “Your Majesty…”

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hands to stop them from continuing: “The decree has been drawn up. Are you there?”

On the other side, Shen Wen, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, was still writing and writing. Shen Wen said: “Your Majesty, please wait a moment, veteran.”

Zhu Houzhao coughed. This time, he didn’t have to look back at Fang Jifan secretly, but in a big way. He winked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan then said: “Your Majesty, Shengming.”

Zhu Houzhao was angry in his heart. I asked you to do something serious, but you came to call Shengming again.

Unable to count on Shang’s successor, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: “Father, in fact, my son entered the palace this time at the medical school…”

“Is that some kind of golden needle eye-pricking technique?” Emperor Hongzhi smiled, and sure enough, everything happened. Unable to escape him, Emperor Hongzhi said: “I am old and can’t stand the trouble… What’s more, the Royal Hospital said that I have too much liver fire…”

The liver fire is too strong. Emperor Hongzhi has no doubts about this diagnosis. , if nothing else, he believes in this.

Zhu Houzhao said: “What I brought here is this medicine for clearing the liver and improving eyesight. It was developed by Xishan Medical College and is specially presented to my father.”

As he said that, he winked at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing took out the food box that the prince asked him to carry with him, opened it, and sure enough, there was a scent of medicine.

Emperor Hongzhi was also stunned after hearing this.

Yes, Xishan Medical College, I didn’t expect that I also have experience in clearing the liver and improving eyesight.

This prince is really filial.

He said with a smile: “It’s hard for you.”

Zhu Houzhao said: “My son, take a sip first and try the medicine. If there is no problem, my father will take the medicine quickly. The effect of this medicine is better than that of the Imperial Hospital.”

As he said this, Xiao Jing had filled a bowl of medicine, and Zhu Houzhao grabbed it to drink.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a straight face: “Since it is the prince’s medicine, if I have any doubts about it, just take it. There is no need to try it.”

Zhu Houzhao said: “Even if I don’t try to drink it, I should try it with a silver needle. “

“

Xiao Jing sent a bowl of medicine to Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: “No need.”

Recently, he has gained experience in drinking medicine, so he took the medicine and drank it quickly. I smacked it in my mouth. The taste was completely different from the one in the Royal Hospital. There seemed to be no honeysuckle or mint flavor, but the taste was somewhat familiar. It seemed like I had eaten it before, when?

Zhu Houzhao watched eagerly as Emperor Hongzhi drank the medicine.

Fang Jifan had already jumped up: “Your Majesty has just taken medicine and needs to take a nap. Please stay away first.”

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned and had not yet reacted.

Liu Jian and others looked at each other.

Zhu Houzhao said: “Fang Jifan is right, just right. I have something to say to my father.”

After listening to this, all the ministers knew that the prince would make the decision in the future, so they had to bow obediently and retreat.

Xiao Jing and imperial doctor Liu Fang stayed.

The two of them were still confused.

Zhu Houzhao helped Emperor Hongzhi lie down, and Emperor Hongzhi was trying hard to remember something. Suddenly, he felt lazy all over, and a strong sense of sleepiness came over him. Emperor Hongzhi felt that his tongue began to get bigger, and he suddenly remembered something. : “Isn’t this… this smelly pockmark soup?”

Emperor Hongzhi tried it when he had his appendix removed.

Now…I finally remembered.

Zhu Houzhao chuckled: “Haha, this is the enhanced version of stinky pockmark soup. It is ten times more effective than before. If you drink this bowl, it will be like a cow, let alone a human. If you ask him to pour it, let him pour it. “

You…you…” Emperor Hongzhi wanted to curse something, but the more excited he became, the more dizzy he felt.

Xiao Jing and Liu Fang were frightened, and they knelt down: “Your Majesty… Your Highness…”

Fang Jifan had already started to speak sternly, and said seriously: “Okay, you damn Xiao Jing, it was clearly given to His Majesty by His Majesty the Crown Prince. It’s a medicine that clears the liver and improves eyesight. Why did this medicine slip into your hands and become an anesthetic? Your Highness, I suggest that Xiao Jing be castrated, no, castrate again!”

Xiao Jing was so frightened that he peed and cried. “Mr. Qi, you can’t wrongly accuse someone like this.”

Fang Jifan said with a stern voice: “What if I wrongly accuse you? Now Your Highness the Crown Prince has the final say. I will crush you if I want to, and round you if I want to make you round. Why, you still have to do it?” Not convinced?”

Xiao Jing: “…”

Zhu Houzhao threw out a decree from his sleeve and slapped it on Xiao Jing’s head: “Give you a chance to make a difference, go out immediately and recite your Majesty’s decree. , Lao Fang, get ready, move the person to Xishan Medical College. He is very old, and he still refuses to get medical treatment. Hum, not because you are my father…”

Fang Jifan covered Zhu Houzhao’s mouth: “Stop talking, do it. Serious business.”

…

Xiao Jing walked out of the dormitory.

Outside the sleeping hall, the ministers were waiting anxiously, and everyone sighed.

Xiao Jing raised his voice: “Your Majesty has a decree.”

Shen Wen was stunned, his decree had not been drawn up yet, and…

Xiao Jing felt even more painful. No matter what happened to Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince must succeed to the throne. This He can remember the will whether he wants it or not.

When all the ministers heard the word “Imperial Edict”, they prostrated themselves one after another.

Xiao Jing opened the imperial edict: “The emperor is entrusted by heaven, and the edict says: In ancient times, the emperor succeeded to the throne and governed the Huan area. He must establish Yuan Chu and Mao Long as the capital of the country, so that Mian Zongshe can rest without borders. I only have this one son, my legitimate son. Zhu Houzhao, with an extraordinary appearance, beautiful talent, and unparalleled civil and military skills…”

Xiao Jing continued to read, praising the prince for hundreds of words, which made Liu Jian and others stunned.

Xiao Jing just said: “I am now suffering from an eye disease and have become blind. I heard that the prince and the Duke of Qi, Fang Jifan, have unparalleled medical skills, and they are the current Bian Que. Now I entrust him with the important task of curing the disease. If he can be cured, it will be a great contribution to the dynasty. If there is any negligence, it will not matter whether it is life or death. I have no intention of adding any blame… “

Treat… cure… the disease.”

How come everything is so good and the disease is cured?

Liu Jian felt something was strange and said, “Eunuch Xiao, why did your Majesty change his mind in a second thought?”

On the other side, the British Duke Zhang Mao frowned: “Can you please give me the imperial edict? I will take a look.”

But here .

At this time, there were already carriages and horses roaring towards them. They must have been prepared for it.

Here, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan, together with several eunuchs, found a stretcher from nowhere, carried Emperor Hongzhi and left.

After Emperor Hongzhi got into the carriage, Zhu Houzhao drove the carriage in person. With a sound of driving, the carriage drove away.

Liu Jian and others were left alone, still looking confused.

what’s going on?

Xiao Jing still held the imperial edict in his hand, his hands were trembling and his teeth were clenching.

“We’re not going to use the knife again.” Someone seemed to have woken up and stamped his foot: “Where did this decree come from?”
