I'm really not doing business

Chapter 813: Thunder cleanses the Japanese spirit, loyal souls shine on the sea
Ever since Qi Jiguang's success on the battlefield, his poetry level began to decline sharply, and gradually he even stopped following the rules of seven-character verse and only wrote doggerel, a bit like taking time out of his busy schedule to please the Emperor.

The more difficult the war was, the higher the level of Qi Jiguang's poetry was; the smoother the war was, the lower the level of Qi Jiguang's poetry was.

The Japanese pirates came by boat and captured Busan from Korea, and then established the Busan Defense Circle. Once the Ming Dynasty took Busan, the enemies in Ulsan would be no longer a concern. They would not even have a chance to escape, and had to either surrender or die.

In the Battle of Busan, the Ming Dynasty captured thirteen mountain cities, captured 20,000 Japanese slaves and 2,000 Japanese women, while there were still less than 15,000 Japanese slaves entrenched in Ulsan.

The course of the war was even a bit boring. When the Ming army arrived, they knocked open a few turtle shells, and the Japanese pirates in the other turtle shells lined up to surrender. The entire process of the war was so simple that it would take three days to catch 20,000 pigs. However, the Battle of Busan was declared completely over in less than three days.

The war has entered its final stages.

The day after the emperor received the battle report and issued an edict to reward the soldiers, boxes of silver coins were carried out from the treasury and taken to the Beidaying Camp. Under the supervision of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, the Treasury, the military generals, and the Imperial Guards, they began to distribute the reward silver to every household according to the military merit lists reported from the front line.

This is a very inefficient practice. The Ministry of Revenue has suggested more than once that the reward money should be distributed in a more efficient way.

For example, an account could be opened for each military household, and the amount of reward silver could be directly added to these accounts. Their families could then use the accounts to go to the acceptance hall at Huitongguanyi to accept the silver.

After the emperor vetoed it, the Ministry of Revenue suggested that His Majesty hand over the silver to Huitongguanyi, and then distribute the acceptance bills, that is, silver bills, to the relatives of each military household.

This was rejected again by the emperor, who made it very clear that any reward would be distributed to the soldiers' families in the form of real money.

The reason was for etiquette, that is, a sense of ceremony. After all, carrying boxes of silver to Beidaying was the best motivation.

Your Majesty really gave out the reward.

The five departments of supervision, namely the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, the Imperial Treasury, the military generals, and the Imperial Guards, ensure that the soldiers who fight for the interests of the Ming Dynasty on the front line get the reward money that belongs to them.

The first batch to be distributed was pensions and rewards. The families of soldiers who died on the front line were the first to receive the rewards, and they had to make sure that their children would be properly supported. If their surviving family members could not guarantee this or were unable to do so, these children would be centrally supported by the Beijing camp and become the only loyal members of the Yulin Army.

The second batch is the soldiers from the first batch to break into the enemy's formation. The front line is completely dependent on these first batch of armored soldiers. The families of this batch of soldiers will receive more generous rewards than those of ordinary soldiers.

The issuance of these two batches of reward silver often overlapped greatly. In this Korean War, the Ming Dynasty suffered more than 200 casualties. The mountain city caused trouble for the advance of the Ming army. Eighty percent of the sacrificed soldiers came from the Xiandeng Camp.

The third batch is ordinary reward silver. For each payment, after verifying the family member’s identity and signature, the five yamen must sign on the receipt page to minimize possible mistakes in the distribution of the reward silver.

Even if there are mistakes or omissions, the family members can seek help from the Jingying Zhenfusi. The Jingying Zhenfusi is a military court under the Northern Zhenfusi, and all cases will be reported directly to the emperor.

If there are still mistakes, the family members can choose to stop the emperor's carriage directly. The emperor reviews the troops in the Wuying Tower every day. If the family members run to the Wuying Tower to kowtow, I am afraid that the whole capital will tremble.

When the emperor got angry, Zhang Juzheng could not persuade him, especially when it came to the issue of military power, which was the foundation of the monarchy.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang always emphasized that the Ming Dynasty's Beijing Camp belongs to His Majesty, not to him, Qi Jiguang. Although many victories were won by him leading the Beijing Camp, the ownership of this army has always been very clear.

After the bounty is distributed, the list of recipients will be reported to the emperor, and the emperor will order the Northern Pacification Division to go deep into the Beidaying again to visit and inquire to ensure that the bounty has reached everyone.

This receipt book will be archived only if there is no case of incorrect reward distribution during the three-month audit period.

Zhu Yijun wanted to ensure the loyalty of the Beijing Army and their loyalty to himself. His purpose was very simple. He just wanted to give them more silver and hoped that the soldiers would put in more effort when fighting the Japanese pirates on the front line.

The soldiers on the front line rotated back to Beidaying. The feeling of having silver piled up on the bedside was extremely good. The soldiers probably wanted to jump up again and continue to go to the front line to fight the Japanese pirates.

While the entire capital was immersed in the good news, Xu Chengchu walked into the autopsy hospital for surgery. When he walked out of the hospital again, the huge tumor on his neck had disappeared.

The entire surgical process, from preparation to recovery, lasted a full month. When Xu Chengchu left the hospital, he felt like he was back to the world!
The atmosphere in the dissection hospital was so terrifying. Those living specimens had no consciousness of their own. Even when they were awake for a very short time, they were dizzy.

Xu Chengchu was a scholar who would not talk about supernatural things, otherwise he would definitely think that the chief doctors had the ability to extract souls, which could suck away people's spirits!
The only trouble for Xu Chengchu, who had undergone surgery, was that he had to strictly follow the diet menu given by the anatomy hospital to prevent recurrence of the disease after the surgery.

According to the chief medical officer Chen Shigong, Xu Chengchu's life did not belong to him, but to His Majesty.

The operation was very successful. Apart from a shallow scar, nothing could be seen. Xu Chengchu became more handsome and dashing. The only trouble was the amount of kelp he had to eat, which had to be exact to the centimeter. Too much kelp could easily lead to hyperexcitement, while too little kelp would cause a relapse, neither of which was good for him.

Xu Chengchu completed his rebirth in the Jiekuyuan, but the nickname Xu Goiter will probably follow him for the rest of his life.

After Xu Chengchu was discharged from the hospital, he reported to the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel informed him that his term as an official ended early and he could report to the Censorate. Xu Chengchu's memorial had made great contributions. When no one dared to speak out, he spoke out, which saved the Ming Dynasty a lot of national treasury and a lot of time.

Time is of the utmost importance. It will be extremely difficult to turn back once you realize you have done something wrong.

Xu Chengchu was granted an official position by the emperor as an exception. He became the Censor of the Censorate, a seventh-rank official. It usually took others about three years to turn their fame into an official position through the Censorate, but Xu Chengchu only took one and a half years.

"Xu Yushi." Hai Rui, as the Chief Censor, met Xu Chengchu who came to report to the Censorate. After greeting him, he looked at him carefully for a long time and said, "Would you like to be the Plain Clothes Yushi? The Plain Clothes Yushi is not an official rank, nor is it a party-building one. It just means wearing plain clothes."

"Thank you, General Secretary, for your trust in me. I hope to become the Suyi Censor." Xu Chengchu said very solemnly.

The Plain-robed Censor is a kind of identity recognition for oneself, which is probably a promise made to oneself that one will use morality to fight corruption, be honest, not fear power, be outspoken, give frank advice, and not form cliques. It is a promise made for oneself: be honest, fight corruption, practice knowledge and action, and understand all principles.

The Plain-robed Censor is not a pedantic, unrealistic person who disregards practical needs, but a person who holds himself to higher standards.

Xu Chengchu entered the Censorate and became the Suyi Censor. His future was extremely bright, because the Suyi Censor was an extremely honorable job, but it was also dark, because he didn't know how many people he would offend along the way.

After get off work at dusk, Xu Chengchu went to the Quan Chu Guild Hall, and Zhang Juzheng met Xu Chengchu in Wenchang Pavilion. Zhang Juzheng still expressed his opposition to the memorial.

Zhang Juzheng said helplessly: "It is not advisable to stop eating because of choking."

"Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, and still has the energy and vigor to implement new policies. The ministers have actually thought of the problems you mentioned, but Xu Chengchu, you must remember that many times, setting out is more important than obtaining the true scriptures."

Young people are full of vigor and show their talents, but the older they get, the more cautious they become. The decay of the body will make the spirit decay as well. Tolerating and compromising for the sake of the country will become a daily routine for people. Your Majesty is also a human being and is no exception.

Just like Emperor Shizong and Emperor Jiajing, he was also eager to make progress at the beginning. He promoted Zhang Cong, Gui'e and others and started reforms. After twenty years of hard work, he got older and took control of the court. However, he lost his original vigor and became timid.

"Student will remember this." Only then did Xu Chengchu know the specific reason why Zhang Juzheng opposed it. It's not that the teacher didn't know it, but he knew it but didn't want to say it. He just wanted Your Majesty to make a start while you are still young.

Xu Chengchu returned to the Quanchu Guild Hall to live, and his career as an imperial censor officially began.

Something happened in the Ministry of Rites recently. The Minister of Rites Shen Li was very angry and put the Mongol prince Salim in solitary confinement for three days. Solitary confinement is a common means of punishment. It is a small dark room that is so cramped that it is difficult to turn around. There is no light at all. People who go crazy after a day in it.

The reason why Shen Li punished him so severely was certainly not because Salim shit everywhere. Salim was a Brahmin and a Kshatriya. He was a nobleman and naturally had some etiquette, but not much.

The reason for putting him in solitary confinement was that Salim was extremely rude and had an overly erratic personality. He was a noble in the Mongol Empire and brought that sense of superiority to the Ming Dynasty.

Salim violated the curfew order. After the curfew, he wandered around the streets without restraint. He still did not obey the curfew order after being warned, and had a conflict with the Wucheng Bingmasi. The Wucheng Bingmasi did not tolerate him and beat him up.

Salim broke into Huimin Pharmacy and showed off his poor Chinese to anyone he met. He asked other patients about their conditions in a very offensive way and even mocked them. The Tiqi guarding Huimin Pharmacy threw Salim into jail for ten days.

Even so, Salim still went his own way and studied in Siyi Hall, and was not honest. During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, he got into his classmate's carriage without any invitation. As a result, there happened to be a female family member in the carriage that day, and he was kicked out by his classmate.

Salim could have ridden into any other family's car, but he chose to ride into the car of the Yao family, a wealthy family in Xitu City. The Yao family had sent people to fight with Wang Qian before, and Yao Guangqi was also a very popular figure in the court.

The Yao family would never tolerate this barbarian prince. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, four or five servants of the Yao family put Salim in a sack.

He was put into a sack and beaten severely. As soon as Salim's injuries recovered, Shen Li threw him into a small dark room and put him in solitary confinement.

The Yao family did not hide the fact that they had beaten the man. They went to the Four Barbarians Hall of the Ministry of Rites, threw twenty taels of money for medicine, and asked the Ministry of Rites: As the old saying goes, a teacher who does not teach strictly is lazy. Salim has been in Ming for some time, how come he is still like a barbarian, so ignorant of etiquette and shameless? He is even worse than the servants of the Yao family.

This question made the officials in the Ministry of Rites feel so embarrassed that they couldn't face anyone.
Salim was put in solitary confinement, and Shah Mamtim did not go to Daqianmen to listen to storytelling for five days because he could not afford to lose face.

Shen Li also submitted a memorial, angrily denouncing Salim and the group of overseas students from the Mughal Empire, which represented the Ministry of Rites' great dissatisfaction.

"The Celestial Empire governs the world with propriety, and the barbarians admire its culture, making them know that benevolence and righteousness are the foundation. Now there are many people like the Mughal Prince Salim, who are domineering in the capital, repeatedly breaking curfew, insulting the people and breaking the law, and are stubborn and unrepentant. Breaking into shops at night and breaking the law as if it were a child's play; entering pharmacies without permission and insulting the sick like actors. He even gets into cars and assaults family members, being treated like dogs and pigs! Isn't it the disadvantage of the caste that fosters their arrogance?" Zhu Yijun was looking at the memorial in front of him. Shen Li was really angry and even said "like a dog and pig".

After criticizing the illegal acts of these overseas students, Shen Li also made severe criticisms of the caste system of the Mongol Empire.

Shen Li said: The Mongol Empire was based on a caste system that originated from the Vedic tradition, which divided the people into four classes and imprisoned them for life.

The Brahmins are proud of their tongues, the Kshatriyas are proud of their weapons, the Vaishyas are after profit, the Shudras are slaves, and the untouchables are excluded from humanity. This system imprisons people's minds and imprisons the souls of the country, making the nobles more arrogant and the lowly more humble, creating a gap between the upper and lower classes and preventing education from working.

The Ministry of Rites analyzed why Salim was so arrogant and domineering. In short, it was because of the caste system! This bad system produced such bad people in batches!

The Ministry of Rites compiled a book on overseas foreign countries and was very familiar with the system of Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras, and untouchables. In just a few simple sentences, it explained the issue very clearly.

The Ming Dynasty was not like this. The Ming Dynasty had its own Ming Dynasty Law. The gentry and the common people were one. Even if the nobles broke the law, they were guilty of the same crime as the common people. The royal family would also throw you behind the high walls. The Ming Dynasty was founded on rites and laws, and the classes were also cut horizontally, but there was no lifelong confinement. Xu Chengchu, who had a big neck, also worked hard to go from a country boy to a popular figure.

This is what the rites and laws say: Although there are distinctions between high and low, education is still important. That is why peddlers driving carts still abide by the rules of the neighborhood, and generals and ministers riding in carts do not step out of line.

As the Minister of Rites, Shen Li was not idle. He required all overseas students, including those from the West, to learn etiquette before entering the prison. Their daily behavior was inspected by the doctoral officials every day and every month. Those who broke the curfew were flogged 20 times, and those who insulted the people were imprisoned for three days. If they did not change after repeated teachings, they would be expelled from the country and never allowed to pay tribute.

"The good old man is angry." Zhu Yijun approved the memorial. Shen Li should strictly enforce the rules of the Siyi Hall and restrict the behavior of these international students. They should be allowed to move around after they have been trained.

Feng Bao said with a smile: "The Grand Master felt that it was shameful to teach such a disciple."

Shen Li's memorial was a bit angry and humiliated. The emperor had warned the emperor several times to be careful of these Mongol students who were making trouble everywhere, but they did not. Instead, they caused trouble everywhere and made everyone in the house restless. Shen Li, the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan, was ashamed.

"Then it's approved." Zhu Yijun annotated the memorial: [I have read the memorial and found your words to be sharp and to my heart. The evil of the caste is indeed a disorder of the class. Although the servant of the Yao family beat the crown prince of the barbarians, it was inappropriate, but there was a reason for it. I will reward him with ten pieces of silk and do not need to investigate.]
Zhu Yijun's opinion on the matter was to fully affirm the Ministry of Rites' memorial, while pardoning the Yao family for the crime of beating people, and even gave them ten pieces of silk to express his attitude.

Good job! I'll keep fighting you next time we meet!
Salim is like this, one beating will make him better, and if he is not better yet, give him a second beating!

While the emperor was busy dealing with illegal activities of overseas students, on September 18, the 15th year of Wanli, Yin Zongxin returned to the Governor-General's Office of Luzon with a large number of firearms and met his father.

"Where do so many firearms come from?" Yin Zhengmao said in surprise when he picked up his own son at Luzon Port and brought him back to the capital. He watched box after box of firearms and gunpowder being carried down.

Yin Zongxin said very solemnly: "His Majesty gave it to us Han people. He said it was given to us every year. His Majesty said that if everyone has a gun, there will be no chaos."

"It is hard to repay the Emperor's grace, it is hard to repay the Emperor's grace." Yin Zhengmao had previously submitted a memorial in which he talked about some conflicts in the Luzon Governor-General's Office. He was even afraid that once he died, the Luzon Governor-General's Office would be gone. However, he had no other choice but to call for support.

Unexpectedly, support was really called in, and with so many firearms.

"There are many crocodiles and gorillas on the Luzon Islands. There are also a lot of jumping rabbits in the Jinchi Governor's Office. We need firearms." Yin Zongxin knew the importance of his words. Everyone knew what the firearms were used for, but it was also a reasonable reason to put the blame on these wild animals.

Yin Zongxin found it after racking his brains. As for whether others believe it or not, that is their business. Later historical books recorded that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty equipped the Han people with firearms in order to eliminate wild beasts, there was no other reason.

Yin Zhengmao smiled and said, "You've become more slick-tongued since you came back to Beijing."

"Dad, the way to repay the emperor's grace is simple. There are several bandit dens on the Yuanxu Islands, and it's time to eliminate them. Capture a few bandit chiefs and let Your Majesty kill them for fun." Yin Zongxin said in a low voice. His Majesty gave him 30% of the gold profit and so many firearms. This huge grace of the emperor will eventually have to be borne by the bandit chiefs.

Yin Zhengmao said with certainty: "Good idea."

There are three bandit dens in the Yuanxu Islands.

The first bandit nest hung a skull and crossbones flag and called themselves the Black Sail Army. They were the defeated Spanish colonists and their descendants. When the Ming Dynasty attacked Luzon, Cebu, and Mindanao, these people fled south to the Yuanxu Islands. They were composed of the Spanish red-haired barbarians, local mixed-race people, and mountain barbarians.

The Black Sail Army didn't even have a plantation. They were pure pirates who burned, killed and looted everywhere. The Ming Army's coastal defense inspectors had to use all their strength to find their lair.

Yin Zhengmao stood in front of the geomancy map, pointed at the Black Sail Army's hideout, the head of the Yuanxu Islands, and said to Deng Zilong, "General Deng, thank you for your help. Lead 1,500 soldiers from the Governor's Office, five five-masted ocean-going ships, fifteen horse ships, and seventy-five warships to wipe them out."

"I obey your command! I am new to the art, so after practicing with them, I will lead my troops south to the Governor's Mansion of Jinchi." After receiving the military token and fire card, Deng Zilong turned around and left. He was going to the Governor's Mansion of Jinchi to open up the route to the place built by the Governor's Mansion of Jinchi.

Deng Zilong was Marquis Shilong, a marquis like Yin Zhengmao, but Yin Zhengmao was a civil official and a hereditary governor. Deng Zilong also gained fame under Yin Zhengmao, so he considered himself a subordinate.

Yin Zhengmao pointed at the belly of the Yuanxu Islands and said, "Yin Zongxin, you will take 1,500 guards, 3,000 auxiliary soldiers, seven five-masted ocean-going ships, 20 horse ships, and 100 warships to flatten the Red Army Mountain."

"I obey your command!" Yin Zongxin answered in a resounding voice. He had just returned from the capital and was about to go out to sea again. As the heir, he had to win military achievements and show his power.

Chijun Mountain has a natural harbor, which is no worse than Sandu’ao. Moreover, Chijun Mountain is the most difficult to attack. There are more than 3,000 people there, and they are all Han people from Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangzhou. They are all from southern Fujian maritime merchant families whose interests were violated because of the Wanli Reform.

The Red Army Mountain is the most difficult place because there are many exiled prisoners there. Some of their family members were beheaded by the emperor as a public display, and they themselves were exiled to Luzon, Java and other places. They fled from their places of exile with dissatisfaction and fled to the Red Army Mountain with the intention of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty.

Three thousand people are not a lot, but they captured more than 30,000 barbarians and more than 17,000 barbarian women, and opened up more than 20,000 hectares of plantations. They are one of the largest forces in the entire Yuanxu Islands.

The last hideout is relatively small, located at the tail end of the Yuanxu Islands, named Yanqiuling. It is composed of Nanyang barbarians, Persians, and Arabs. They all slipped from their ruling position during the Ming Dynasty's expansion into Southeast Asia and fled to a place with only more than a thousand people. They opened up several plantations and had only more than three thousand barbarian slaves.

Yin Zhengmao handed this hideout over to Liao Donggui, who was the leader of the Yao people's rebellion. After being persuaded to surrender by Yin Zhengmao, he has been under Yin Zhengmao's command ever since.

Duntai Yuanhou had already figured out the Black Sail Army, Red Army Mountain, and Yanqiu Ridge, and was just waiting to close the net.

Yin Zongxin was a little tired after the long journey. He only rested for fifteen days in the capital. Just after returning to Luzon Port, he was assigned to conquer the toughest bone to chew, Chijun Mountain. Unlike the loving father and filial son of Wang Chonggu, Yin Zhengmao placed too much faith in Yin Zongxin, hoping that he could completely digest Luzon and make it the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Yin Zongxin took on such a heavy responsibility. He was mature beyond his years. He stood on the bow of the flagship, holding a telescope, looking at the Red Army Mountain which was getting closer and closer, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The entrance to the natural harbor of Chijun Mountain is only four miles long. Like Sanduao, this four miles is a deep-water bay that can accommodate heavy ships. Behind the narrow entrance is a deep-water harbor with a large area that can be used for aquaculture. The hydrology is not complicated, but there are many aquaculture tanks.

On both sides of the entrance, only two mortar positions are needed to place several 36-jin cannons to block the sea surface.

"Prepare to storm the beach! All the ships aim their guns...wait a minute." Yin Zongxin was about to give the order, but then he raised his hand to stop the messenger from delivering the order.

There is a situation!
A fire suddenly broke out in the endless coconut grove of the Chijunshan Deepwater Port. Before long, flames shot up into the sky and smoke billowed.

"Send two teams of guards to contact the port scouts and find out the situation." Yin Zongxin keenly sensed that something was wrong, as if an internal conflict had occurred on the shore.

After nearly two hours, Duntai Yuanhou's speedboat returned to the fleet and reported the situation. There was an internal conflict in Chijun Mountain, and the conflict was very fierce. There were eight water strongholds in Chijun Mountain, known as the Eight Kings. None of them would submit to the other. In order to compete for a plantation, two of them had a fight. The fight quickly spread and the Eight Kings melee began.

In the melee, some Han people who were deceived to the island broke free from their shackles and took up arms with the help of Ming undercover agents, scouts, and guards.

The entire Red Army Mountain was in chaos.

"God help us! Listen to my orders! Ships A1 to A5 are ready to rush to the beach and quickly seize the mortar array! The rest of the ships will set sail, and after the whistle signal for seizing the mortar array is launched into the sky, they will start at full speed, sail into the Red Army Port and capture the Red Army Mountain!" Yin Zongxin was delighted.

This group of people, this group of people, they didn't fight among themselves earlier or later, but they waited until the Ming army came and then they started fighting among themselves!

God-given opportunity.

The warships began to rush ashore and quickly captured the mortar position. The following battle was no surprise. There was no landing battle. No one cared about the coming of the Ming army. Without any defended ports, it was like an undefended little girl.

The Ming army occupied the beach as if it were in an empty land, landed in an orderly manner, deployed its formation, and began a ruthless advance.

In the early morning of the next day, the battle entered its final stage. Yin Zongxin was exhausted as he counted the battlefield and assigned tasks.

"The rescued victims will be asked if they are willing to return home. If not, they will stay in the Red Army Mountain and take care of the old plantations. All the thieves will be castrated and forced to work as laborers. The leader of the thieves will be sent back to Beijing, and all the running dogs and villains will be sunk into the sea." Yin Zongxin rubbed his forehead, feeling a little dizzy.

These evil traitors are just the running dogs of the rebels. Their hands are stained with the blood of Han people. Yin Zongxin cannot let them stay. Only by sinking into the sea can they deserve the fate they deserve.

"The barbarians, Japanese slaves, and barbarian women should be settled separately and given weapons so that the plantations can run smoothly. It would be a waste if so many fields were left idle. Also, destroy all the opium. Don't burn it, boil it with quicklime." Yin Zongxin felt more uncomfortable and simply sat down on a rock.

"We must put out the fire and don't let it spread any further. This place is ours now and we have to take good care of it, and..." Yin Zongxin suddenly felt stars in his eyes and everything went white in front of his eyes. His body went limp and he lay on the ground.

"Third Young Master!"

"Third Master!"

"General Yin!"

"Call the chief medical officer! Quick!"

The people around shouted loudly and carried Yin Zongxin to a shady house. Everyone was in a panic.

"The third young master is tired, but his pulse is relatively stable. He needs to rest for a while." The chief medical officer accompanying the army examined Yin Zongxin and confirmed that he was fine.

Yin Zongxin slept for a full fourteen hours. When the chief physician began to doubt his medical skills, Yin Zongxin finally woke up.

"It hurts, it hurts." Yin Zongxin felt the pain all over his body. He struggled to lean on the edge of the bed and said self-deprecatingly, "Your Majesty is right. This body is the capital of reform."

"That big doctor, I'm a little hungry."

The chief physician immediately said, "You cannot eat meat. Eat some liquid food first, and then eat meat after two hours. You cannot drink alcohol either."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to the chief physician. Give me another bowl of water." Yin Zongxin did not dare to talk back to the chief physician. Even famous ministers such as Zhang Juzheng, Tan Lun, and Yu Dayou had to listen to the chief physician.
