Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 893, Tai Hospital Rotten to the Bone
"Father, how do you think the son-in-law handled it?"

When the ministers left, Zhu Houzhao also asked Emperor Hongzhi a little nervously.

“Very good~”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled gratifiedly and gave affirmation.

Zhu Houzhao is still very smart. Some small things are directly decided by the above, and the big ones are consulted by the ministers and listened to the opinions of the ministers.

"Father, my son is really not good at handling these things, so you should do it."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were slightly red, and he said after thinking about it.

"Sooner or later, this country will pass into your hands, and sooner or later you will learn to handle state affairs."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, then pointed to a pile of memorials on his desk and said, "You finish approving these memorials today, and I will check them later."

"Yes~"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the memorials of Lao Gao piled up on the desk of Emperor Hongzhi, and couldn't help frowning, but still nodded and replied.

"Hmm~"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded in satisfaction, and then left the Shang study directly, leaving Zhu Houzhao to review the memorials alone, while he was going to take a good look at the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital.

Emperor Hongzhi came to Tianlao.

"Join Your Majesty~"

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi came in person, Jin Yiwei Mu Bin, who was in charge of hearing the matter, also came to pick him up in a hurry.

"No, how did the trial go?"

Emperor Hongzhi's face was very ugly, and he asked lightly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the case is currently under intensive trial. Judging from the current situation, Zhang Yu, who is in charge of the Imperial Hospital, and the judges of the Imperial Hospital, Liu Wentai, Gao Ting and their personal friends are all very good, and they have been accepting bribes for a long time."

"In addition, they also ganged up on stealing and selling imperial medicine. We found out from Zhang Yu's home that the deposit certificate of the First Bank of Ming Dynasty was as high as thirty taels."

Mu Bin also replied immediately.

Mou Bin was considered to be the most upright person among the commanders of Jinyiwei, and there was no slander in what he said, and it was all confessed by Zhang Yu, Liu Wentai, Gao Tinghe and others.

"Hmm~"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, stealing and selling imperial medicines from the palace has happened in all dynasties, and it is not a big deal, relying on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water, and relying on the palace, naturally they have to eat the palace.

Not only this hospital, but also large and small departments in the palace are actually similar. Most of the eunuchs, maids, etc. in this palace also benefit from it, and sometimes even Emperor Hongzhi's personal treasures may be stolen and sold.

Emperor Hongzhi was very aware of this and didn't care much about it.

What he really cares about now is the level of these imperial doctors in the palace, and why they want to hide their illness.

"You go and invite some famous doctors from the capital immediately, and also invite some sick people, and then let the royal doctor in the palace and the famous doctor from outside treat them separately. I really want to see, these doctors from the Tai Hospital What is the level of the imperial physician?"

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and gave orders.

"Yes~"

Mou Bin nodded immediately, and soon someone from Jin Yiwei went to work.

Emperor Hongzhi waited very patiently. While waiting, he watched Jin Yiwei try Zhang Yu, Liu Wentai, Gao Ting and others behind the scenes.

"Eunuch Zhang, why don't you explain the truth clearly?"

Because Mou Bin is very upright, it is useless to punish Zhang Yu, Liu Wentai and the others. But in the sky prison, Zhang Yu, Liu Wentai, Gao Ting and the others also knew that disaster was imminent, and all of them lost all energy and energy. up.

"I've made it very clear that I just took some bribes and never intended to murder the emperor. The emperor's condition was diagnosed by the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital and has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Yu insisted on it, accepting bribes is accepting bribes, it's no big deal, the father-in-law in charge of the palace hasn't accepted Xiao Jing from the people below?
I am just like everyone else, nothing more.

But if you want to say that you murdered the emperor, you will never admit it. Murdering the emperor is not just a capital crime, it is a punishment for the nine clans.

"You took bribes, appointed Liu Wentai and Gao Tinghe, and said that it had nothing to do with you. Don't you know how well these two people's medical skills are?"

Jin Yiwei, who was handling the case, asked again.

"It's hard to distinguish between superior and inferior medical skills. How can I really know who has high medical skills and who has low medical skills?"

Zhang Yu naturally refused to admit it. He probably would die, but he couldn't harm his nine clans.

Emperor Hongzhi watched coldly from behind the scenes. He used to trust Zhang Yu very much, but who knew that Zhang Yu actually had [-] taels of silver in Daming No. Deeds, house deeds, etc., really dug up some big mice.

"Your Majesty, arrangements have been made."

Mu Bin moved quickly, and soon invited some famous doctors and patients from the capital.

"let's start."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and ordered.

In the dungeon, Liu Wentai, Gao Tinghe, Fang Shuhe and others were interrogated separately by Jin Yiwei. At this time, everyone was scared to death, and he had already confessed many things in detail.

"Liu Wentai, you are the judge of the Supreme Hospital, so you must have good medical skills. Let's test your medical skills first."

Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of hearing Liu Wentai, came up with a coughing patient and asked Liu Wentai to treat him.

When Liu Wentai heard this, his forehead was sweating immediately, and he was very heavy. He still knew very well that he was allowed to see a doctor alone. Wouldn't it be all exposed at once?

"I'm in the sky prison, I don't have the heart to see a doctor, not to mention I don't have my medicine box with me."

After thinking about it, Liu Wentai also said.

"Whether you have thoughts or not is up to you. If your medical skills are not good, it means that you are joking about the life of the emperor, so you should be honest and take good care of the doctor. You'd better be careful."

Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of the trial, said coldly.

His words also made Liu Wentai speechless immediately, he had to put away his extremely flustered heart, calm down and start to diagnose the patient's pulse.

However, his level is limited, and he is not sure about some common typhoid colds. When he looks sick, his whole body breaks out in cold sweat, and the hand that checks the pulse is trembling. It seems that he is more like a patient. .

Through the pulse diagnosis and some inquiries about the patient's condition, Liu Wentai basically judged that this person had a cold, but when writing the prescription, Liu Wentai couldn't help but started to break out in a cold sweat.

Because he memorized very few prescriptions, only a few prescriptions for nourishing and nourishing the body. As for the other prescriptions, he didn't memorize them at all, and he didn't know how to properly reduce or increase some medicinal materials and ingredients. measure.

Emperor Hongzhi is different from other emperors in the past. He has only one wife. In the entire palace, only Emperor Hongzhi, Empress Zhang, Queen Mother Zhou and the crown prince need the imperial physicians from the imperial hospital to see and treat diseases.

As a court judge, he has always let these imperial physicians under him write prescriptions, and he himself has not memorized too many prescriptions at all.

Now it's time to write the prescription, Liu Wentai's hand holding the pen is shaking constantly, thinking about it, writing and writing, but this prescription can't be written.

On the other hand, these famous doctors invited from the Beijing Hospital are different. All of them are very experienced, and there are quite a few of them. They carefully diagnose the pulse and inquire about the symptoms, and each of them quickly makes a judgment, and then writes it out. Fangzi is basically the same.

The difference in the medicinal materials and doses used is very small, which means that the patient's condition can basically be judged. But looking at Liu Wentai again, he is not like an imperial doctor at all, but more like a doctor who has just started learning to see a doctor. A sick apprentice, full of mistakes.

Wangwen Wenqiu did not do it carefully and carefully enough, and the judgment of the disease was wrong, and the prescription written here was even more diametrically opposed.

"Such a quack doctor has been treating me all this time?"

Emperor Hongzhi saw this comparison clearly, and immediately saw the situation of Liu Wentai, Gao Tinghe, Fang Shuhe and others clearly.

These imperial doctors are all quack doctors at all, and they don't know how to cure diseases and save people. Not only can they not diagnose the disease, but the prescriptions they prescribe are not curing diseases and saving people at all, and they may even be harming people.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't believe it. He always felt that the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital were trustworthy. After all, every time something happened, a large group of imperial physicians came to see a doctor. Everyone carefully discussed and prescribed a prescription.

Who knew that there were not many imperial doctors in the imperial hospital with real talents and knowledge, especially the court judges, whether it was Liu Wentai or Gao Tinghe, they were all quack doctors, and they did a lot of harm.

He couldn't diagnose the disease, and he couldn't prescribe a cure to save the patient, but such a person became the judge of the Imperial Hospital, and was responsible for serving the palace, seeing and treating diseases for himself and the ladies in the palace.

"I really can't imagine that such a quack doctor can be judged by the court, and it has never been discovered."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but lamented that his life was big enough. It is a miracle that he can still live to this day after being treated by such a group of quack doctors.

"Continue to interrogate, do a good interrogation, I really want to see how these quack doctors diagnose me."

Hongzhi's face was full of murderous intent. He was harmed by such a quack doctor. He obviously had an intestinal abscess but could not be diagnosed. The key was to prescribe tonics for himself to make his body worse and worse. , in their thirties is just like an old man in his fifties or sixties.

These quack doctors have no other skills, but this flattery is very powerful. They know how to use gold and silver to seek official positions, know how to deceive themselves with good words and false words, and even know how to take advantage of the loopholes in the hospital system to hitch a ride. He is obviously a quack doctor, but he has become an imperial doctor who treats the prince.

My own life and death are in the hands of such a group of people.
