Chapter There are Insiders
Most people entered the fourth year of Yuanzhi in a heavy snowfall, but this year's Spring Festival is different from the past. Although there was no Spring Festival in the Mongolian festival, after entering the Central Plains, they convened a New Year's ceremony in the Han system, held a lantern festival, and canceled a curfew to enjoy the people. However, this year's ceremony of the Khan did not appear, and the King of Qin was presided over, which made the Khan seriously ill and the rumors of the eldest son of the eldest son arose again. The capital city followed the tide and everyone was in danger.
By the third day of the Chinese New Year, the city was dark, and the gates of the capital were closed, and merchants also made a case early, and each house closed its doors early. There were only the whistling sound of the howling cold wind blew, the creaking sound of patrolling soldiers walking on the snow, and the crisp sound of horse hooves knocking on the stone road, making most of the already depressing atmosphere more stern and bleak.
At this moment, the palace city was brightly lit. The Qixue soldiers with armored soldiers on the city wall were watching the surrounding streets vigilantly. The soldiers under the city were constantly patrolling around the city, looking like a scene of a war coming. The Daming Palace was even more vigilant. The guards were densely packed around the hall, with bows rolling and swords unsheathed. The hall was echoed in the chant of the shaman master and the crisp sound of the magic bells. The eunuchs and palace maids stood by carefully, and they didn't dare to show up.
In the side hall of the Great Khan's palace, several ministers had been waiting for the imperial edict to enter the palace for a long time. The Right Prime Minister of the Secretariat An Tong looked at the people in the hall. A few days ago, when Dahan was awake, he adjusted his important positions in the court and promoted two young important officials. Kurigis was promoted to the governor of the Privy Council. Li Siyan was promoted to the left prime minister of the Central Secretariat in just one month. He also appointed Buhumu as the Military Affairs Office of the Central Secretariat and was in charge of the Privy Council.
Brother Sang is now powerful. He not only controls the Secretariat, but also controls the Chief of the State Council and controls the financial power. However, he also ordered Dong Shi to be elected to Beijing and serve as the Left Chief of the Secretariat. He also summoned the Xian Grand Secretary and Cui Yu, the Right Chief of the Gansu Province, to return to the court to replace Ye Li, who was dismissed, as the Central Censor.
An Tong was confused about this arrangement. He thought that the Khan should be arranging the funeral and paving the way for the new Khan, but it was difficult to see which prince he tended to like in this arrangement, which forced him to think that the Khan could not make a choice between Ganmala and Tiemur, and he was still hesitating. He felt that this was not appropriate. Although it was conducive to balancing the current situation in the court, it would also bring hidden dangers behind him.
"What's wrong with the Hsu Hospital?" At this time, Xu Guozhen, the official in the Imperial Hospital, came to the side hall. Brother Sang stepped forward and asked.
"The sweating condition has temporarily stabilized!" Xu Guozhen said, wiping the sweat on his face.
"This is really a blessing in charge of Xu Yuan!" Brother Sang said with relief.
"Can the Khan can take matters?" An Tong asked with a frown.
"Da Han is in critical condition and needs care. I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with state affairs for a while!" Xu Guozhen hesitated for a moment and sighed softly.
"I was still in good health before sweating, so why did I take a quick turn for the worse?" Brother Sang asked.
"I suspect that I took tiger and wolf medicine before the sweating period, so it seemed healthy, but it actually damaged my lungs. The sudden change in the court at the time hurted the mind and the disease suddenly worsened!" Xu Guozhen said.
"Oh, is there someone trying to murder Khan!" An Tong said in a deep voice.
"I have seen the medical case of Khan, but there is nothing wrong with it. There is just a secret medicine that I don't know, so it's hard to judge!" Xu Guozhen hesitated and said.
"Are you joking about the hospital? You are proficient in medical science and are in charge of compiling and refining materia medicinal herbs. How could you be ignorant of it?" Brother Sang smiled.
Everyone knows that Xu Guozhen followed the order of Kublai Khan to convene famous medical scholars across the country to revise prescriptions published by the Imperial Medicine Academy, "Revise the mistakes, make up for the shortcomings, seek the demise, and benefit them." He compiled the "Imperial Medicine Academy Prescriptions". Xu Guozhen no longer asked about political affairs, but only held the false title of the Imperial Hospital affairs, presided over the editing of medical books, added many prescriptions of the Southern and Jin dynasties, and added newly discovered herbs.
Everyone also knew that Xu Guozhen was well-versed in classics and history, and was particularly good at medical skills. He summoned him to Hanhai before he ascended the throne and stayed to take charge of medicine. His loyalty and Zheng dared to advise him, and he was deeply trusted by Shizu. He cured Kublai Khan's foot disease. Zhen Jin's health has always been poor, and he has been conditioning it all the time. However, Zhen Jin's suspicion became worse and he no longer trusted him after he had not been cured for a long time. This time, the condition suddenly changed, so he ordered him to go to the palace to diagnose the disease.
"There is no end to medical treatment. I cannot fully recognize all things in the world. I still need to identify them carefully before I can make a conclusion!" Xu Guozhen said modestly.
"When will the sweat be cured?" Everyone heard that it was just 'catching wind and shadow' and knew the depth of the water, so they didn't dare to ask further, Li Siyan said.
"The Sweat is very weak and needs to be well-behaved. As for when it will be cured, it is hard for me to know!" Xu Guozhen said, "But after that, the Sweat cannot use medicine indiscriminately. All medical cases must be judged by you to avoid any trouble. The Imperial Hospital must review the previous medical cases and find out who want to be unfavorable to the Sweat."
"Okay, let's make a decision after we discuss it!" An Tong pondered for a moment. He knew that the Khan's health was declining and the dispute over the Khan's position had also become increasingly fierce. Both sides were using their own means, and they had to guard against the Khan's secretly murder. But he did not dare to investigate in depth. After all, the throne was not decided, so who knew which master did it? Although Boyan's death was pushed to the Southern Dynasty, he knew it was just a cover-up, and the real murderer was not found out at all. He was a little discouraged after experiencing this matter and did not want to get involved.
"Your Highness, Khan, please come in!" At this time, He Weixian came in and walked straight to An Tong and bowed.
"I obey the order!" An Tong said in a tidy manner.
"Congratulations to Wanhu, did the Khan say that we would wait to meet together!" Brother Sang said anxiously when he saw An Tong go under the guidance of the eunuch. At this critical moment, he was really worried that Khan would have obeyed his slander and issued a will, and wouldn't he fail?
"The Khan has issued an order to send An Tong to enter and ask the Right Prime Minister to take a break, maybe there is still a chance!" He Weixian stopped him with a brief bow.
"What do you know about the great Khan's edict? " Brother Sang asked in a low voice.
"The position of the lower position is low, so how can you dare to test the holy intentions!" He Weixian rushed back without being soft or hard.
"Has Khan ever ordered the King of Jin to enter the palace?" Brother Sang was not giving up and pulled him aside and asked again.
"The King of Qin and King of Jin have both requested an order to visit the palace, but they were both rejected by the Khan!" He Weixian seemed to be answering undue questions.
"Can He Wanhu know who paid the secret medicine to the Khan?" Brother Sang asked softly.
"Oh, why did the Right Prime Minister say this?" He Weixian was shocked when he heard this, but asked inexplicably.
"Justice Xu just said that the secret medicine was a tiger and wolf medicine. He suspected that someone was trying to poison the Khan!" Brother Sang didn't see anything on He Weixian's face, but he knew that as a close minister of the Khan, he was in charge of the Khan's Guards, nothing could escape his eyes. If he refused to explain, he would have a ghost in his heart, so he glanced at Xu Guozhen and said.
"Haha, the secret medicine is a prescription for the world's immortals, how could he understand it!" He Weixian did not avoid this question, but instead told him frankly, and said with a sneer, "On the contrary, he ignored the body of the Great Sweat and insisted on giving the Great Sweat tonic. This is a problem. I have reported to the queen and asked another famous doctor to treat it."
"How did the queen answer?" Brother Sang was a little stunned when he heard this and thought.
"The Empress has issued an order to enter the palace tomorrow to treat the Great Swordsman, identify the symptoms, and then take medicine!" He Weixian said.
"This is the best. Shen and Han are both famous doctors in the world. Dr. Han has served the Khan for many years and can be trusted!" Brother Sang nodded and said.
He knew that in the sixth year of the Zhiyuan period of Shen Jing, a native of Nanyang, he was appointed as an imperial physician. He served at Shizu's side and side, storing medicine stones, savoring algae and medicine properties, and was in charge of imperial decoctions. When he went in and out of the inner court, he often made Shizu's complimentary, and he always asked questions and spoke out loudly. Shizu said: "Although you are small, you are very quarreling", so he was known as "a hero who is less than seven feet tall and is a heroic hero."
Han Gonglin was a native of Zhending, and his father was a doctor. His career was born in his generation. During the reign of Emperor Shizu, he took his pulse and used medicine to be effective. He was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau. Later, he served the Zhenjin of the crown prince, and often summoned Han to read books such as "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Gao Yanyi" and became the consultant who was inseparable from the left. After Zhenjin succeeded to the throne, he was transferred to the rank of Wensan official and was appointed Chengzhilang and Deputy envoy of the Imperial Hospital.
"Your Highness, you still have to send someone to check the details of Xu Yuan's affairs. Who has he been dating with recently? I am worried that his instructed desire will not be beneficial to the Khan." He Weixian said with a worried look.
"Well, you are meticulous and loyal to the Khan. What can you tell me if you have anything to do?" Brother Sang nodded and said.
"The subordinate thanked the Right Prime Minister. Xu Yuan was the first rank of the official position and had a high status. The subordinate officials could not listen to any words of advice. They could only worry about the Right Prime Minister!" He Weixian bowed and thanked the aisle.
"Don't worry, I have no choice but to protect Khanwu. I will definitely ask about this matter and find out the truth!" Brother Sang nodded.
"The right chief still has something to be sent, and the subordinates will do their best!" He Weixian thanked him again, and then said goodbye to the side hall.
At this time, snowflakes floated in the sky again. He Weixian looked at the sky, took a deep breath, and then calmed down. He had already received instructions from the Southern Dynasty the day before yesterday, asking him to be at ease and not panic, just follow the instructions. At the same time, he asked him to use the queen to put pressure on Xu Guozhen, and someone would help him. As expected, when he mentioned the queen to Sang Ge today, his attitude changed drastically and he helped him.
This made He Weixian even more confused. He suspected that Brother Sang had defected to the Southern Dynasty like him, and while he was at ease, he felt awe in his heart. Thinking about Brother Sang was an important official of the current dynasty and was willing to be driven by the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty, how could the Mongol Yuan not be destroyed? However, he did not dare to rashly express his identity. This was a matter of life and death. One mistake would lead to a mistake.
