The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 461 I don’t blame you

Shi Qin looked calm. He had made contributions in the previous dynasty and was favored by the Empress Dowager.

His Majesty was also very filial to the Empress Dowager and was fearless.

Emperor Hongzhi saw that there were eight charges in the memorial, including those committed in the previous dynasty.

How did Yan Chengjin find out?

As Emperor Hongzhi's face suddenly changed, the atmosphere in the hall was like being in an ice cellar.

Shi Qin's heart tightened in vain. He had never eaten pork, but he had always eaten lard.

It had been heard that Yan Chengjin was good at impeachment. Those who submitted his impeachment would be exiled or sent to the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Shi Qin's hands and feet were cold and he suddenly lost consciousness.

"Mr. Yan, this first charge, disturbing the price of the medicine market, do you have any evidence?"

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his voice, as if his anger would burst out at the touch.

In the early Ming Dynasty, medicinal materials were usually sold locally and rarely circulated.

However, as Huimin Pharmacies were opened in various prefectures, counties, and cities, medicinal materials complemented each other and needed to be transported, forming a medicine market in the streets.

In the medicine shops, the price of medicinal materials rose sharply, and the people could not afford it, and fake medicines gradually appeared.

Huimin Pharmacy dared to purchase fake medicines in the market and steal the silver of the court.

"Your Majesty can testify against Liu Wentai."

Xiao Jing felt a little cold in his heart. Huimin Pharmacy sold medicinal materials to the people at normal prices. How could it be called Huimin? It was simply a black medicine shop.

The factory guards did not find out about this matter.

The sense of smell of the Censorate was even better than that of the factory guards.

He felt great pressure.

Shi Qin and Li Dongyang could guess that this impeachment letter was undoubtedly an impeachment of Shi Qin after listening to the general situation.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty wants to see the impeachment."

Emperor Hongzhi handed the impeachment to Xiao Jing: "Let him see it for himself."

After reading the impeachment, Shi Qin was furious, his eyes wide open: "The medicine used to treat the late emperor was not suitable? You don't even know medical skills, how can you know that the medicine is not suitable? This is slander!"

"Wang Ji's medical skills are better than those of the Imperial Hospital. He only glanced at the classics and said that the medicine was not suitable. Your Majesty knows that Wang Ji has always been honest."

For Wang Ji, all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital are his brothers.

Wang Ji's continuous improvement lies in his single-minded research on medical skills.

But the doctors in the Imperial Hospital are obsessed with promotion.

Yan Chengjin said: "Among the medicines taken from Huimin Pharmacy, 30% are fake. If your Majesty does not believe it, you can summon Wang Ji to the palace."

"Your Majesty..." Shi Qin's voice trembled.

How did you know it so clearly? !

He looked pale, and looked at Yan Chengjin beside him, as if he was looking at the King of Hell. His brain had turned into tofu and he could not think.

"This official... When did this official offend you?"

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "As an imperial censor, it is my duty to supervise the court and the country, just like the imperial physician has to prescribe medicine for your majesty."

The Imperial Hospital has an elegant name in later generations, the Dragon Slayer Corps.

In view of the fact that three descendants of Xianzong, Xiaozong and Wuzong were killed in succession, it is rumored that Jiajing specifically slaughtered the Imperial Hospital to win back a city.

Although it was said so, your majesty could not hear it.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, and his slightly rosy apple muscles trembled slightly.

Yan Chengjin knew that your majesty was hit again, and he was secretly blaming himself for not noticing it earlier.

Fearing that His Majesty would not attend the court again, Yan Chengjin changed the subject: "Your Majesty, how should Shi Qin be dealt with?"

"Investigate! The factory guards will investigate according to the impeachment. If he violates any of the impeachments, he will be executed immediately."

Shi Qin fell on the gold brick. Before coming, he never thought that today would be his last day as an official.

It's too dangerous. Being an official is really too dangerous.

The factory guards dragged Shi Qin out.

Yan Chengjin looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, how should the three places in Shandong be dealt with?"

Emperor Hongzhi remained silent.

Huimin Pharmacy actually sold fake drugs to the people...

In the morning court, Wu Kuan stared at Yan Chengjin deeply. Who did you impeach again?

The court was in chaos today.

His heart was beating like a war drum.

Shi Qin, the director of the Imperial Hospital, was imprisoned by the Jinyiwei, and the East Factory and Jinyiwei jointly investigated.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, it is rare to mobilize two guards at the same time.

This is the first time.

Emperor Hongzhi sat on the throne, with officials standing on both sides.

"The Censorate investigated this matter and found that fake medicinal materials harmed the lives of the people. This really chilled my heart."

The angry voice of Emperor Hongzhi echoed in the hall, and everyone was in danger.

The officials' hearts suddenly moved.

Your Majesty ordered a thorough investigation, which might spread to other government offices.

Han Wen became nervous. The silver purchased by Huimin Pharmacy was all allocated by the Ministry of Revenue.

Although he had a clear conscience, he was not sure that the officials under him were the same.

Wu Kuan stepped forward: "The Censorate received the order!"

"Your Majesty, Xu Yuan asked for medicinal materials and relief silver?" Li Dongyang said.

"The medicinal materials will be allocated by Yan Qing's family from Liangxiang, and the Ministry of Revenue will pay another 30,000 taels of relief silver to repair the city walls and government offices in three places in Shandong."

Yan Chengjin wanted to complain that there was no medicinal materials in Liangxiang.

But this matter cannot be concealed. The Jinyiwei can find out by going to the medicine storehouse of the College of Science.

After all the officials left, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly wanted to go out of the palace for a walk, so he said to Xiao Jing: "Prepare the carriage. I want to go out of the palace. There is no need to be extravagant. You and the commander can follow. Also, call Yan Chengjin and Master Xie."

Xiao Jing was flattered to be trusted by His Majesty.

But when he heard that Yan Chengjin was called, he was like biting a stone when eating white rice, and his face turned pale.

As for bringing Academician Xie, it was because Academician Xie was good at talking and could make people happy.

Your Majesty's minor visit turned into a group tour. Yan Chengjin followed Emperor Hongzhi with a blank face.

I don't know what happened to His Majesty, but he didn't say a word after leaving the palace. He seemed to be in a bad mood?

The carriage passed by Huimin Pharmacy. The door was sparsely populated, and no people came in and out. The pharmacist was using a rag to wipe the dust, which seemed a bit deserted.

"Your Majesty, do you want to get off the sedan chair to take a look?"

"No need, go to Liangxiang."

Liangxiang College of Science, Medical Department.

The north wind was bleak. Wang Ji, Hu Dayuan and others were giving free medical consultations in front of the gate. The gentry and the people lined up in a staggered manner. Under the supervision of the yamen runners, they were harmonious and orderly.

Emperor Hongzhi was surprised and looked at Yan Chengjin in surprise: "Why are the gentry and refugees willing to come to Liangxiang for medical treatment?"

"First, it is Wang Ji's reputation that has spread throughout the capital. Second, the price of medicinal materials in Liangxiang is real money and benefits the people." Yan Chengjin waited for His Majesty to ask further.

Whether Huimin Pharmacy can fall into the hands of Liangxiang, this is the first move.

When you are sick, you naturally want to see a famous doctor, whether it is the common people or the dignitaries. This time, Xie Qian agrees with Yan Chengjin.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin with burning eyes: "What do you want to do with Huimin Pharmacy in Beizhili?"

"When will I..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at him covetously: "Tell me the truth, I don't blame you."

I will chop off his head again.

This boy has wise talents, but it's a pity...

The way to be a king must first save the people. If you sacrifice the people to serve yourself... One sentence after another lingered in the heart of Emperor Hongzhi.

There are disasters every year, and I don't know how many people are injured and sick. It is a good policy to rectify Huimin Pharmacy.

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully, and then took out a medicine collection from his arms.

Xiao Jing presented it to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi was surprised: "What is this?"

"This is the list of medicinal materials recorded by Wang Ji during his consultations, and the places where they grow.

Huimin Pharmacies are all over the world. If Liangxiang has a Huimin Pharmacy, it can purchase medicinal materials from all over the world.

This is exactly why I want Wang Ji and others to run Huimin Pharmacy."
