Chapter 524: The strange knock on the door and the palace struggle behind Xu Pingjun's death
Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but reveal admiration in her beautiful eyes when she heard this, and she praised sincerely: "As far as I know, after Queen Mother Wang recovered from her illness, she was very grateful to Yishuo and wanted to give Yishuo's brother Yizong an official title.
But Yishuo politely refused on the grounds that "his brother's behavior was not proper".
Even so, Queen Mother Wang still admired Yi Shuo's character and medical skills, and finally requested Emperor Wu of Han to appoint Yi Zong as Zhonglang and the magistrate of Shangdang County.
Hey!
It is a pity that in this world, there is a female imperial physician like Yi Shuo who is famous throughout the ages, but there is also Chun Yuyan who lost his medical ethics because of greed. It is really a pity. "
Zhu Gang looked regretful and said slowly, "I also know a little about Chun Yuyan's story.
As a female physician who also left her name in history, she was gifted and intelligent, just like an unpolished jade.
During the years of practicing medicine among the folks, Chunyu Yan accumulated rich experience.
She was not only skilled in the art of taking pulses, but also well versed in medicine. Some people praised her as the "female Bian Que".
It's a pity that Chunyu Yan could have become a female imperial physician whose name will go down in history, but she lost the professional ethics that a doctor should have.
Eventually, he became an accomplice in the struggle for power in the palace and the murder of Queen Xu Pingjun. "
Xie Yuer frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look, "Logically speaking, someone must have tested the medicine before giving it to the queen.
How did Chun Yuyan succeed?"
Her eyes were fixed on Zhu Gang, full of curiosity and anticipation, and she was obviously waiting for him to unveil the mystery of the subsequent story.
Zhu Gang looked solemn, and then slowly said: "This involves the power struggle and conspiracy calculations in the palace..."
Zhu Gang was just about to continue speaking when there was a mysterious and strange knock on the door.
The knock on the door was neither fast nor slow, but it was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart again and again.
The three of them were all startled and looked at each other, their expressions filled with fear and confusion.
Zhu Gang's face darkened and he shouted sternly, "Who?"
However, there was dead silence outside the door and no one answered.
Only the strange knock on the door echoed in the silent air, as if it was a call from another world.
Zhu Gang signaled his attendant Wang Chengyi to go and check. Wang Chengyi walked towards the door tremblingly, as if every step he took was about to step into an unknown abyss.
He opened the door carefully, but found no one outside.
There was only a gust of cold wind whistling past, sending chills down people's spines.
Wang Chengyi was terrified, and he crawled back to report: "Your Highness, there is no one outside...
But there was a strange token on the ground at the door, with a mark engraved on it that I had never seen before."
Zhu Gang's heart trembled, he recognized this as the secret code for the Hidden Dragon Guards to contact urgently.
Ever since the mysterious underworld leader Xiao Yi led his men to raid the Prince of Jin's Mansion, Zhu Gang ordered the Hidden Dragon Guard to engage in more covert underground activities.
To prevent assassination by the evil cult forces and at the same time to reduce the suspicion of the imperial court.
He guessed that the knock on the door might be related to the new actions of the underworld forces.
Xu Miaoyun said with a hint of worry: "Your Highness, the situation has been complicated recently. There may be something behind this mysterious knock on the door."
Zhu Gang nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Yu'er, where were we talking about just now?"
Xie Yu'er was still frightened and said nervously, "My husband was just about to tell me how Chun Yuyan murdered Queen Xu Pingjun."
Zhu Gang nodded and took a deep breath.
Then he continued: "Chun Yuyan's husband Shang is a Ye Ting guard.
In order to gain wealth and power, Shang had a crooked mind. He asked Chunyu Yan to ask Mrs. Huo to transfer him to the position of Anchi Supervisor, who was in charge of Anyi Salt Pond.
The Anchi Supervisor is no simple matter. He is in charge of the production and management of the salt lake, which is like controlling the country's wealth and lifeline.
Not only does it involve a huge amount of wealth, but it is also closely related to the financial revenue of the Western Han Dynasty court, and it can be said that he has great power. "
Xie Yuer couldn't help but interrupt: "This reward is really greedy, isn't he afraid that Madam Huo will refuse it?"
Zhu Gang smiled bitterly and said, "Yu'er, you don't know that although Madam Huo was already in a high position and had great power in the palace at that time, as the emperor's favor for Empress Xu grew, the power of the Xu family gradually rose, threatening the position of the Huo family.
Mrs. Huo is ambitious and she is unwilling to see the power of the Huo family being weakened.
He was determined to make his daughter Huo Chengjun the queen, thereby consolidating the Huo family's ruling position in the court.
At this time, Mrs. Huo knew very well that Chunyu Yan had accumulated a lot of connections while practicing medicine among the people, and Chunyu Yan's husband worked in the Yunting.
If we can win over Chun Yuyan, we will have another secret way to achieve our goal."
Xu Miaoyun frowned slightly, "It seems that Mrs. Huo is very deliberate and has a plan in place."
Zhu Gang nodded and said, "That's right!
After Mrs. Huo found Chunyu Yan, she not only promised to let her daughter Huo Chengjun become the queen and that the Huo family and Chunyu Yan would share wealth and glory, but also painted a grand blueprint for Chunyu Yan in detail.
Mrs. Huo promised that after the success, Chunyu Yan's husband would not only be able to smoothly serve as the Supervisor of Anchi, but would also receive full support from the Huo family in his official career and would be able to rise to the top quickly.
As for Chunyu Yan, Mrs. Huo would buy her a luxurious mansion in the most prosperous area of the capital and give her countless gold, silver and jewelry.
She will also allow Chun Yuyan to have a higher status in the palace medical system, and even allow him to participate in some confidential palace affairs, becoming an important internal supporter of the Huo family in the harem. "
Xie Yuer said angrily after hearing this: "Chun Yuyan was seduced like this?
Doesn't she have any regard for her conscience?"
Zhu Gang shook his head helplessly, "The key is that Madam Huo also analyzed the current situation of the court struggle to Chun Yuyan.
She pointed out that although Queen Xu was now favored, her foundation was still shallow.
As long as Queen Xu died, the Xu family would be in chaos.
The Huo family can then take advantage of the situation to suppress the Xu family and support Huo Chengjun to take power.
Moreover, Mrs. Huo has been in the palace for many years and has extensive connections. Many ministers in the court have close relations with the Huo family.
Once Huo Chengjun becomes the queen, the emperor will definitely rely on the Huo family.
By then, even if someone suspected that the Queen's death was related to the Huo family, no one would dare to investigate it easily.
Even if the matter was leaked, the Huo family's power is fully capable of suppressing it and protecting the safety of Chun Yuyan and his family.
Under Mrs. Huo's careful planning and coercion and inducement, Chun Yuyan was bewildered and decided to take the risk. "
Xu Miaoyun sighed and said, "When interests are at stake, people tend to lose their way easily.
But how did Chun Yuyan carry out her conspiracy? "
Zhu Gang continued, “She used the connections she had built up over the years in the palace to bribe the palace maid in charge of drug testing.
Chunyu Yan learned in advance that a tonic pill that Empress Xu had been taking recently was about to run out and needed to be re-prepared.
So she took advantage of the pharmacy staff's inattention and mixed the crushed aconite into the raw materials for the newly prepared pills.
Chun Yuyan then found the palace maid in charge of testing the medicine, threatened the maid's family's lives, and promised to give her a generous reward after the task was completed. "
Xie Yuer asked nervously: "Didn't anyone notice when we were testing the medicine?" (End of this chapter)
