In Ciqing Palace, Zhu Yijun was looking after the Empress Dowager while Cao Zhengchun entered Ciqing Palace to report.
"Your Majesty! Medicine Saint Li Shizhen!"
"Shangguan Haitang of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa!"
"Zhuge Zhengwo of the Six Fan School has entered the palace!”
Zhu Yijun gently put down Chen Xiao 'er's palm and covered it under the blanket.
"Quickly summon them into the palace!"
"Yes!"
Outside Ciqing Palace, Zhuge Zhengwo, Li Shizhen, and Shangguan Haitang were waiting for the decree.
Shangguan Haitang knew Zhuge Zhengwo. After all, he was the instructor of the 800,000-strong Imperial Army. He was in charge of the Six Fan School and was in charge of all the Divine Arresters. As for the old man who came with Cao Zhengchun, Shangguan Haitang was not familiar with him.
Zhuge Zhengwo stood outside Ciqing Palace, feeling very confused.
Why did he come to the Empress Dowager's Ciqing Palace?
Just as they were feeling puzzled, Cao Zhengchun walked out of Ciqing Palace. The old man who came with Cao Zhengchun was led into Ciqing Palace…
Zhuge Zhengwo and Shangguan Haitang waited outside Ciqing Palace…
Not long after, Cao Zhengchun and Li Shizhen were brought to Zhu Yijun.
"Long live our emperor!"
"Please rise!"
Cao Zhengchun and Li Shizhen stood up at the same time. Zhu Yijun immediately opened the system and immediately knew that the person in front of him who was a few years older than Cao Zhengchun was the author of the Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen.
"Your Majesty, I've mobilized all the forces of the East Chamber and finally found the Saint Alchemist, Li Shizhen!" Cao Zhengchun stepped forward and said.”
According to historical records, after Li Shizhen resigned, he began to travel around. Later, he accumulated a lot of knowledge in medicine and created the Compendium of Materia Medica that was passed down through the ages.
"Greetings, Your Majesty…"
After Li Shizhen said this, her nose twitched and she said in surprise,"Hysteria? Your Majesty, are there any consorts who are unconscious? Like a clay man?"
Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up. Empress Dowager Li said,""Yes, what the doctor said is true. Sister suddenly fainted and could not be woken up. The imperial physicians were helpless!”
"Can you let me see the sick person?" Li Shizhen asked.”
Li Shizhen walked to the front of the phoenix bed. After closing her eyes and taking her pulse, she suddenly opened her eyes.
" Your Majesty, can I perform acupuncture on the patient? The patient's heart is depressed, and the patient has fainted. It's not a day of illness, but day after day, year after year…"
After Zhu Yijun heard Li Shizhen's words, he nodded and said,"Mother is indeed weak and sickly…"
Li Shizhen took out the medicine box and took out the silver needles from the medicine box and began to perform acupuncture on the Empress Dowager.
Outside Ciqing Palace, Zhuge Zhengwo and Shangguan Haitang had already guessed some clues.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the old man walked out of Ciqing Palace. Beside him was a young man. Cao Zhengchun and the guards present all kowtowed when they saw the young man.
Zhuge Zhengwo and Shangguan Haitang also kowtowed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Old sir, you can stay in the Imperial Academy of Medicine. I will give you funds so that you can write books in peace and take care of the empress dowager…"
" Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has woken up. She needs to rest for a while, but if she wants to get rid of her illness, she needs to take medicine for a long time…"
The Imperial Academy of Medicine was helpless against the Empress Dowager's serious illness, but Li Shizhen used her wonderful hand to treat the illness with acupuncture. After the acupuncture was completed, the Empress Dowager slowly woke up. Empress Dowager Li cried tears of joy and took care of her at the side.
Zhu Yijun personally sent Li Shizhen out.
He absolutely could not let Li Shizhen leave. If Li Shizhen wanted to write the Compendium of Materia Medica, Zhu Yijun would also provide help!
In the next few days, Zhu Yijun took care of Chen Xiao 'er in Ciqing Palace. The Empress Dowager took her medicine every day and was able to get out of bed and walk…
The unexpected surprise was that Li Shizhen had entered the Imperial Academy of Medicine.
Because of Li Shizhen's arrival, a grand plan that Zhu Yijun had envisioned could be implemented ahead of schedule.
Because of Li Shizhen's arrival, Zhuge Zhengwo and Shangguan Haitang lost the opportunity to diagnose the Empress Dowager.
Originally, a chance to make a contribution was placed in front of them, but it was not their turn. This made the two of them feel lost!
……
Although Zhu Yijun had been taking care of the Empress Dowager in Ciqing Palace after the court session, the state affairs were not delayed.
Golden Palace.
All the officials in the court were trembling as they knelt in the hall.
Usually, they were all dressed in luxurious clothes and had the clothes of servants. How could they stand this?
However, the Emperor did not speak. Even if they were to kneel in the main hall, they did not dare to act rashly.
Da da ~
From time to time, light footsteps could be heard from the side.
The eunuch looked at the officials present and said,""His Majesty has decreed that all sirs please return!”
When the officials heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief and supported each other up.
As the officials were about to leave, the eunuch hurriedly said,""Lord Wang."
The Minister of Revenue, Wang Guoguang, cupped his hands and said,"Eunuch, what's the matter?"
"His Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Revenue to immediately check the accounts of the past years.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Guoguang's heart suddenly trembled.
There was probably going to be a huge earthquake in the imperial court!
"Eunuch, please tell His Majesty that I understand.”
"Yes."
The eunuch nodded slightly, turned around, and left.
……
Yangxin Palace Hall.
Zhu Yijun flipped through the accumulated memorials.
His gloomy face revealed endless killing intent.
These memorials had actually been reviewed by the cabinet long ago, but because the Ministry of Revenue could not allocate enough silver, they had no choice but to shelve them.
In Huaixi, the river was silted up, making it difficult for the people to irrigate their farmland.
Shandong area, dry weather, dry things, people poor harvest.
……
Was it really because they didn't have the money, or was it just an excuse?
Zhu Yijun's eyes narrowed as he thought to himself.
"Your Majesty, Shen Lian is waiting outside the palace.”
The young eunuch stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Call him in!"
"Yes."
Shen Lian, the thousand-man of the Jinyiwei, strolled into the palace.
"Your humble servant Shen Lian greets Your Majesty."
Zhu Yijun nodded slightly and said with a dignified expression,"I summoned you here because I have something for you to do.”
"Your Majesty, please instruct me."
Zhu Yijun handed the secret decree to Shen Lian.
"Investigate this matter in secret. If necessary, the East Hall can also coordinate with you!”
Shen Lian's eyebrows moved slightly, he had already guessed the importance of this secret edict.
"I understand."
Shen Lian bowed and left the palace.
Under the bright light, there was only a short line of small words on the secret decree.
'Investigate the corrupt officials in the court. No matter what position they hold, once they are investigated, they will not show mercy!'
……
It was night.
A curfew had already begun on the streets of the capital.
The government guards patrolled the streets to monitor the safety of the capital.
Streets and alleys.
An Embroidered Uniform Guard quickly walked forward and knelt on one knee."Milord, the net has been laid and the fish has taken the bait!”
Under the faint moonlight, Shen Lian walked out slowly.
Under the moonlight, his stern and cold face was filled with coldness.
"His Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to escape!”
"Understood!"
The hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards responded at the same time.
After the order was issued, the Embroidered Uniform Guards quickly dispersed like smoke and disappeared into the darkness.
South of the alley in the capital, in the inspector's mansion.
Torches lingered around as hundreds of Embroidered Uniform Guards surrounded the mansion.
Following Shen Lian's command, the tightly shut gate of the mansion opened with a loud bang.
At this moment, the Embroidered Uniform Guards leaped over the high wall and landed in the garden.
In the mansion, the servants who were preparing to rest immediately collapsed to the ground when they saw the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards were famous and had a reputation for killing.
Even if he was an important official in the court, he would not dare to provoke the Brocade Guard, let alone an ordinary citizen like him.
"What are you doing!"
"Why did you barge into the Inspector General's Mansion?"
The Imperial Censor Tang Qingyuan forced himself to be brave and walked out of the main hall angrily.
"The Embroidered Uniform Guards have come to visit. I think the Inspector General should know better than me!”
Shen Lian walked forward slowly and looked at Tang Qingyuan with a cold smile.
"Know what? I don't know anything.”
"Shen Lian, although you are a Jinyiwei, you cannot use your authority to barge into my mansion!”
Tang Qingyuan retorted angrily.
"Still stubborn!"
"Men, search!"
"Yes, sir."
The Embroidered Uniform Guards shouted in unison. Just as they were about to rush into the room to search, Tang Qingyuan directly led dozens of servants with sticks in their hands to block the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"Arrogant!"
Shen Lian shouted and the rest of the Jinyiwei pulled out their Xiuchun sabers.
Under the moonlight, a cold light flowed on the Embroidered Spring Knife.
No one doubted whether the Embroidered Uniform Guards dared to make a move!
"By His Majesty's decree, anyone who dares to disobey or obstruct will be killed on the spot!”
With a shout, the Embroidered Uniform Guards rushed into the main hall.
As for Tang Qingyuan, he was detained by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"Milord, I found an account book and a secret room.”
When Shen Lian heard that, he instinctively looked at Tang Qingyuan.
His pale face was covered in sweat.
When Shen Lian looked at the contents of the accounts, he sneered,""Lord Tang!"
"Follow the Embroidered Uniform Guards!"
"Come on! All the silver was confiscated and everyone was taken to the imperial prison.”
Almost as soon as the words 'imperial prison' left his mouth, Tang Qingyuan and the others collapsed to the ground like mud.
"Milord, I'm not going to the Imperial Jail, I'm not going to the Imperial Jail!”
"Please let me go, let us go!”
Shen Lian squatted in front of Tang Qingyuan and said coldly,""Lord Tang, it's easy to avoid suffering. As long as you cooperate, I promise to give you a quick death.”
"Take him away!"
"Yes, sir."
