Chapter 160 The Red Pill Case ([-])

"Actually, the ramming case is still a continuation of the national dispute, because the object of competition and discussion is still the crown prince, so whether the mastermind behind the slamming case is Zheng Guifei, I am afraid that I still can't find the answer. gone."

"Because of the stiletto attack, it cannot be ruled out that the prince Zhu Changluo directed and acted a trick to frame Concubine Zheng."

"However, the truth of this case has not been verified so far, so it became the first of the three mysterious cases in the late Ming Dynasty. After talking about the shooting case, let's talk about the second mysterious case, the Hongwan case."

"As always, let's understand the background first."

"In the 48th year of Wanli, that is, on July 1620, 21 AD, Emperor Zhu Yijun of Wanli passed away, and Prince Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne. He changed his name to Taichang and became Emperor Taichang."

"On August [-], at the enthronement ceremony, Zhu Changluo looked relaxed, calm, and walked freely. He was no different from a normal person, except that there was no sign of any disease about to occur."

"Pay attention to what I said that there is no sign of disease. After a while, you will understand why the teacher said that."

"It is said that a few days before Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, that is, in the two days of July 22 and 24, he found 100 million taels of silver to reward the soldiers guarding Liaodong and other places. , increase cabinet members, and operate the center, the ruling and opposition parties are very moved."

"After Zhu Changluo ascended the throne on August [-], he thought that he had finally made it through and could make a big difference."

"Who would have thought that just ten days after he ascended the throne, that is, on the tenth day of August, Zhu Changluo suddenly fell ill, and the illness was so serious that he couldn't afford it, so the next day's Longevity Festival was also cancelled."

"Okay, now let's talk about a more key figure, called Fang Congzhe, who was the chief minister of the cabinet at the time."

"This Fang Congzhe joined the cabinet with the qualification of Minister of Rites and concurrently as a scholar of Dongge University. Because Fang Congzhe knew that Emperor Wanli loved Concubine Zheng, he tried every means to make friends with Concubine Zheng. Hey, Fang Congzhe later became the chief assistant of the cabinet."

"He served as the chief assistant of the cabinet for seven years in the Wanli Dynasty, and he was very good at handling the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. Wanli never refuted him when he drafted edicts and other edicts. This is enough to show that Fang Congzhe has done a good job in dealing with people. .”

"Okay, let's continue with the business. One day after the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Congzhe just came to the cabinet to prepare for work, and the inner court sent a very urgent official document."

"What official document? Fang Congzhe opened it, and it turned out that Zhu Changluo was in a hurry to go to the doctor. Yesterday, the medical officer of the Imperial Hospital went to see him. As a result, Zhu Changluo felt that the medical officer could not cure his illness, so he drove the medical officer away. .”

"At the same time, Zhu Changluo asked Cui Wensheng, the eunuch of the Rites Supervisor, to see him. Cui Wensheng was an eunuch who didn't understand anything, so he prescribed a blind prescription for Zhu Changluo to take."

"Unexpectedly, Zhu Changluo took the medicine according to Cui Wensheng's prescription and then drank it. It was terrible. Zhu Changluo had diarrhea after drinking the medicine. He ran to the toilet dozens of times in one night. Now he has passed out due to exhaustion. Please The cabinet will handle it.”

"When Fang Congzhe rushed to the Supreme Harmony Gate with his cabinet ministers and other ministers in a hurry, the inner court was already in chaos. Zhu Changluo was unconscious, and the imperial doctors were helpless."

"At noon, several imperial physicians came out of the palace. The leading imperial physician was already an old man in his 70s, but he was very experienced and experienced."

"It is said that this imperial doctor has a deep relationship with Fang Congzhe. As soon as the imperial doctor came out and saw Fang Congzhe, he came to his side, lowered his voice and told him that His Majesty's condition is very bad."

"Fang Congzhe was startled and panicked at the time, saying, Your Majesty is only in his early forties, how could he be so ill?"

"The old imperial doctor closed his eyes and shook his head. He said that it is not a day's cold to freeze three feet. His Majesty's vital energy is seriously depleted. Therefore, the imperial physicians often use the traditional Chinese medicine of Guben Peiyuan to make soup for His Majesty to drink."

But the effect of this method is too slow, and it’s not good to say it like a god. Your Majesty complained that the efficiency of this prescription was too slow, so we abused laxatives, which caused all our conditioning of Your Majesty for several months to fail. "

"Fang Congzhe heard it, and then asked, is there no other way?"

"The old imperial doctor frowned and thought for a while and said that if he stopped using quack prescriptions and only used prescriptions for blood congestion and spermatogenesis, there is still hope, but I'm afraid that His Majesty won't believe in this method."

"After Fang Congzhe heard it, he quickly cupped his hands and said, don't bother the imperial doctor to worry about this. I will go to the palace now to persuade His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to recuperate his body according to the way of the imperial hospital."

"Hey, after Fang Congzhe sent the old imperial doctor away, because it was already past noon, Fang Congzhe didn't eat anything, so he ate something quickly, and planned to write a memorial to persuade Zhu Changluo."

"But at this moment, the inner court sent someone to inform Fang Congzhe that Zhu Changluo had urgently summoned Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, into the palace."

"Fang Congzhe put down the brush in his hand, and quickly entered the Qianqing Palace with the inner court personnel, and finally met Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo."

"At this time, Zhu Changluo was lying on the sickbed, very weak, and Zhu Changluo stretched out his trembling hand to hold Fang Congzhe."

"Zhu Changluo said, I have been dizzy for the past few days, and my body is very weak. I can't go to court to deal with state affairs. I will trouble you to worry about all major state affairs."

"Fang Congzhe was startled and felt that something was wrong, so he quickly replied that His Majesty has shown me too much kindness, and I will definitely follow His Majesty's instructions and handle state affairs seriously."

"Then Zhu Changluo said, you can also replace Zhu Zhu on important matters in the court. The prince is cowardly by nature, and I hope you will support me, sir. I haven't had time to confer the wives and concubines in the harem, so you can also confer them according to the ancestral system. "

"Fang Congzhe felt that something was wrong when he heard it at the time. I dare say that Zhu Changluo is already explaining his funeral!"

"So Fang Congzhe comforted and said, Your Majesty is in his prime of life, and now he has just accidentally contracted some minor illnesses, which is not a serious problem. As long as Your Majesty takes care of himself and stops trusting other people, especially Cui Wensheng's prescriptions, His Majesty will definitely get better. of."

"But Zhu Changluo didn't listen to this, but asked Fang Congzhe, is the place where Zigong is parked ready?"

"Fang Congzhe thought that Zhu Changluo was talking about Zhu Yijun's Zi Palace, so he cupped his hands and said, Don't worry, Your Majesty, Emperor Daxing has been buried, and Tianshou Mountain's underground palace has been restored since the day before yesterday..."

"Hey, before Fang Congzhe could finish speaking, Zhu Changluo interrupted him with a wave of his hand, saying, what I'm asking about is my Zigong, not the Zigong of the late emperor."
