Chapter 68 Li Dongyang has a bad premonition
Ma Wensheng had regained his complexion and was breathing evenly. He no longer lay on the couch and only walked towards Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao also looked at Ma Wensheng with a smile. When he saw that he was about to salute him, he hurriedly supported Ma Wensheng and said, "My dear, there is no need to be polite. Imperial doctor, please feel the pulse of the cabinet assistant now."
Imperial physician Li Yanwen hurriedly followed Zhu Houzhao's order and came over. After Ma Wensheng lay down again, he put his index finger and middle finger on Ma Wensheng's wrist, twisted it for a moment and then said: "Gefu's pulse has stabilized and is healthy again. Your Majesty’s medicine is truly a miracle medicine!”
Seeing this, Ma Wensheng's wife also smiled with joy. She was about to hold the doorknob and knelt down to give Zhu Houzhao a big gift. Zhu Houzhao also asked Qiu Ju to help the old lady up. At the same time, she also held down Ma Wensheng who was about to get up to give a big gift and thank him. Just smiled and said: "God is still blessing me in the Ming Dynasty. How can the cabinet minister let go before the river is closed? Even if I allow you to go, the late emperor will not agree. You have been recuperating in the mansion for the past few days. Don't bring trouble to yourself in the future. ! ”
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile and then told Liu Jin who was following him quite seriously: "After returning to the ceremonial supervisor, I will draw up an edict. From now on, whoever dares to verbally disrespect the cabinet minister and cause the cabinet minister to have a heart attack will be punished by the superior!" ”
Liu Jin hurriedly obeyed the order and said: "In this case, the ministers dare to ask the emperor whether Li Dongyang and others want to be punished. If they had not spoken harshly, Ma Gefu would not be where he is today."
"Your Majesty! It's better to do less than to do more. It's because I don't have enough courage. It's none of Li Binzhi's business. I hope Your Majesty won't implicate him too much because of my thin face." Ma Wensheng coughed again as he spoke. Zhu Houzhao hurriedly ordered Qiu Ju to Ma Wensheng took some more, and asked Qiu Ju to give the remaining nitroglycerin tablets to Ma Wensheng, and told him: "If you feel heartache again, just put one tablet under your tongue. If it's not enough, ask me for it!"
As for the matter about Li Dongyang and others, Zhu Houzhao did not mention it again in order to avoid irritating Ma Wensheng again.
The imperial doctor Li Yanwen also prescribed Ma Wensheng a prescription for recuperation. Generally speaking, Ma Wensheng was safe this time, which was a fortunate thing for Zhu Houzhao and even Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the reform of the civil service can only be postponed for the time being, but Zhu Houzhao is not in a hurry at this moment. It has just entered November of the 18th year of Hongzhi, and it is still too early.
Imperial physician Li Yanwen was obviously very interested in the nitroglycerin tablets that Zhu Houzhao took to Ma Wensheng, and he even dared to ask: "I dare to ask your Majesty what kind of medicine your Majesty gave Ma Wensheng, and why it was so effective. And it can be treated by putting it under the tongue instead of taking it orally.”
Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and wanted to say that this is what nitroglycerin can produce nitric oxide in the human body, but he felt that he would not be able to explain it all in a day and a night, so he only said: "If you want to know, you can go to the Leopard Room with Qiu Ju. Study at the Royal Industrial Experimental Base, I give you this opportunity!”
After saying that, Zhu Houzhao left Ma Wensheng's mansion and returned to the palace.
Ma Wensheng also personally sent Zhu Houzhao outside the gate.
……
At that time, Li Dongyang had already started hosting a banquet in honor of Yang Tinghe, and the two of them continued to talk and laugh while drinking and drinking.
"There are constant cries in Ma Wensheng's house. He is probably about to die. I will go and cry for him later. He has been an official in the same dynasty for many years." Li Dongyang said, "You can do as you please. You can leave without saying goodbye to me.”
Yang Tinghe nodded, and immediately his face became solemn: "Master, listen, there is no more crying!"
At this time, a housekeeper also ran to Li Dongyang: "Sir, your Majesty went to Ma Wensheng's house. Just after leaving Ma Wensheng's house, Ma Wensheng came out to see off Your Majesty." Li Dongyang couldn't help being surprised: "What's going on? Isn't Ma Wensheng fast?" Have you gone? Why are you alive again? When did Your Majesty go to his mansion?"
"About half an hour ago, the master and Bachelor Yang were at Bi Champs. It's not a good idea to disturb him."
The housekeeper of Li Mansion replied.
Li Dongyang was quite depressed for a while.
Yang Tinghe spoke first at this time: "It is not difficult to understand that His Majesty suddenly came to Ma Mansion. It is true that Ma Wensheng is seriously ill now, but acute illness is also the best to treat. He must have taken some good medicine, and maybe it was sent by His Majesty. What palace Secret medicine, now that I think about it, our Majesty really values this Ma Gefu! He broke the old rule of not joining the cabinet unless he was in the Imperial Academy and directly promoted him to the cabinet. Now he even went to the government in person to deliver medicine and express condolences. This is really a great favor from the emperor. ! ”
"Ma Wensheng has always obeyed the emperor's will. His flattery will naturally make Zhu Houzhao favor him very much. If I had not resigned, I would have even made him the chief assistant. But what I can expect is that our Majesty will probably I dislike me more and more, but in order for our clear stream not to be driven out of the court by the turbid current, I will not retreat until you enter the cabinet!
Now that you are a bachelor of Zuo Chunfang, the next step can be to enter the Ministry of Rites as a minister or to be in charge of the Hanlin Academy. The next step can be to directly join the cabinet. I will help you when the time comes, and you are his master in the East Palace of Zhu Houzhao. , joining the cabinet is justifiable, but the only thing we need to be careful about is not letting Zhu Houzhao find out that you have something to do with us. ”
After Li Dongyang said that, Yang Tinghe stood up solemnly and cupped his hands and said: "Wan Sheng understands!"
Yang Tinghe also knew that if he wanted to join the cabinet, he would need Li Dongyang's help, and he really wanted to inherit the mantle of Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, etc. and become a new generation leader of Qingliu, so he also reminded Li Dongyang: "I have reliable information." It’s about the prince of Sanyuan (Wang Shu) who will be restored to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. I wonder if the cabinet minister knows about this?”
Li Dongyang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If you don't tell me, I really don't know. Although I have become the chief minister of the cabinet, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War are controlled by Ma Wensheng and Xu Jin. Liu Jin is in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and His Majesty only summoned them. A few discussions have turned me, the chief minister of the cabinet, into a decoration. I have no way of knowing about such a major event.”
Seeing this, Yang Tinghe didn't know how to comfort Li Dongyang, so he just said: "I wonder if the Chief Assistant has discovered another phenomenon. Wang Yue and others have been detained in the imperial prison, and His Majesty has not been executed for a long time. Chief Assistant, tell me, is Your Majesty the right person?" He wanted to create a big case, so he severely interrogated Wang Yue and others in order to force him to drag foreign officials into the water! ”
When Yang Tinghe said this, Li Dongyang also looked solemn. He felt that Yang Tinghe's guess was reasonable.
At this time, Li Hong, the steward of the Li Mansion, came back and came to Li Dongyang to report: "Sir, I have found out that Ma Yongcheng of Dongchang took the Jin Yiwei out of the city to go to Shaanxi to escort Wang Shu to Beijing to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"Shaanxi?"
Li Dongyang asked a question to himself, and then said doubtfully: "Wang Shu is only a veteran of the Five Dynasties at best, why does he need an inner court official to pick him up, or a sedan chair with thirty-two carriages and thousands of royal guards? ”
"What does the cabinet minister mean that His Majesty asked Ma Yongcheng of Dongchang to leave the capital for Shaanxi for an ulterior motive? In the name of escorting Wang Shu to the capital, he actually wanted to do other things?" Yang Tinghe asked.
Li Dongyang seemed to have thought of something at this time, and after Yang Tinghe reminded him that Wang Yue and others had not been executed for a long time, he became more determined. He stood up suddenly and his heartbeat accelerated: "No!"
