Chapter 74
The coachman agreed and turned his horse's head. Yang Ling lowered his head to look at the gray-faced young lady in his arms, pressed against her cold cheeks, and said in tears: "Young mother, hold on for a while, don't leave your husband behind, your husband will accompany you to find a doctor. You must hold on, Young mother, you promised to stay with me for the rest of your life."
The coachman, a rough man, felt sad and almost burst into tears. He blinked, whipped the horse hard on the back, shouted: "Go!", and drove the carriage to Huguo Temple.
At this time, the first time the eunuch in front of the imperial court who had been sent to the palace to handle the work, led four small yellow gates and eight Jinyiwei. Two great Han generals carried the Jinyan in the palace and rushed to Yangling's house excitedly, but saw General Tie blocking the door, which was the old man from the neighbor who helped Yang Ling lock it.
The little eunuch was confused. What should I do? Return to the palace to pay the imperial eunuch? The little eunuch had no idea and was knocking on the door to inquire. Yang Ling's carriage rushed back to the street. Seeing that the two Jinyiwei were very anxious, he shouted loudly: "Stop, the internal officials are ordered to handle the task, who will run wildly?"
Yang Ling was anxious, and his mind was full of confusion and thought to go to see the doctor quickly. Seeing someone blocking the road, he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Who is stopping my car?"
The eunuch who sent the order had just asked Yang Ling if he had taken his family to seek medical treatment, he was not at home. He walked out of the old man's house in disappointment. He couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Yang Ling. Yesterday, he had gone to the East Palace with the emperor and had seen Yang Shidu with his own eyes, so he naturally knew his appearance. The eunuch hurriedly shouted: "Yang Shidu, the emperor has the order, and you will go to the palace to see the emperor immediately."
Yang Ling was so anxious that he sweated without thinking: "I don't have time, hurry up and dodge, I want to take my young lady to see a doctor!" As he said that, he waved to the coachman, "Go away, go quickly, go to Huguo Temple immediately."
What happened to the coachman, and he dared not to accept the imperial edict. Does Jinyifeng have such a mighty power? He didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly waved his whip and drove through the big inner guards and headed straight for Huguo Temple.
Looking at the carriage leaving, the people around were all stunned. The eight Jinyiwei and four small yellow gates all looked at the eunuchs who were passing the imperial eunuchs. Now he is the imperial envoy, so naturally everything has to be followed by his dispatch.
The eunuch was only fourteen or five years old, and he was not aware of his life. Today, he was temporarily arrested by the emperor and sent him to promulgate the imperial edict. He thought of everything, but he didn't expect that this would happen. When the decree was passed on and people did not obey the imperial edict, what should I do? It seems that I have never heard of such a situation at all. Who should I ask?
The eunuch who was sent to the imperial eunuch was almost crying. Now the emperor and all the civil and military officials of the court were waiting in the Golden Palace. How can he communicate with him?
If an older eunuch encounters this rare situation in a thousand years, or if he waves a whisk and turns back to the palace to reply, the emperor will be furious. It will be no matter whether to kill the whole family or destroy his entire family. If he meets a ruthless person who can make the decision, he might immediately kill the minister who resisted the order with the Jinyiwei immediately.
But the little eunuch had no idea and just wanted to take Yang Ling back, otherwise the emperor would be furious and his butt would be beaten to the board. He turned around twice, waved his hand with a crying voice and screamed, "Let's go, follow Yang Shiju!"
Okay, the imperial envoy said, then follow. The little yellow gate, the Jinyiwei led the horse, and two great Han generals carried the brocade chariot, and ordered the eunuch to lead the way, chasing Yang Ling down.
The pedestrians coming and going on the street and the students who had just finished the exam and were preparing to take the exam again in the afternoon saw this strange scene. They asked the people chasing behind the little eunuch watching the fun. They couldn't help but be shocked and laughed. They felt that Yang Ling was ridiculous, but they secretly admired his courage in their hearts.
Some big girls and young wives were even more moved and tears were filled with tears. Such a passionate man could not be found on the stage. For a moment, the emperor issued an edict to resist the order and refused to obey it. The strange story of the sixth-rank attendant's wife asking for medical treatment spread throughout the capital at an astonishing speed.
The little eunuch chased to Huguo Temple and happened to see Yang Ling holding the person and stumbled out again. Several high-nose, blue-eyed, men chasing behind, shaking their heads, and tracing their fingers on their chests and foreheads.
It turns out that Western medicine was only good at surgical operations at that time. Since microscopes, stethoscopes and other instruments were not invented, the internal medicine promoted by this was far behind that of surgery. The craniotomy, bloodletting, and vomiting techniques that doctors are good at are not suitable for young girls’ fevers.
When these missionaries came to the east, they brought some Western medicines to treat colds and colds, but the effect was not good, and they have used up all in recent years, so they are ineffective for young mothers' illness.
The little eunuch caught up with Yang Ling, and his face turned red with excitement. He rushed over and grabbed Yang Ling and begged, "Sir Yang, the emperor is waiting in the Golden Palace. You can send your wife to the doctor to take care of her. Let's go and meet the emperor first."
Yang Ling smiled sadly and said, "What do you want to see the emperor? Get promoted and make money? Go back to the palace and reply to the order. I want to take You Niang home." He looked at You Niang sadly and said, "Since I came to the capital, I have never been with her. I left her alone at home every day. Now I want to go back to accompany her and go back to accompany her."
Yang Ling is now completely disappointed. Don’t say that his life is not long. Even if he can live for a hundred years, what’s the point without his young mother by his side? At this time, the sun is in the sky, but his heart is cold and cold.
The little eunuch stayed at the door stupidly, thinking about chasing him again. Seeing that there were too many people watching, the palace guards couldn't help but come to the little eunuch and whispered: "Dadfather-in-law, come back to the palace and return to his life. If you continue chasing like this, where is the royal decency?"
The little eunuch was in a state of silence. Seeing that the sun was almost noon, he was afraid that the emperor would be anxious to wait. He stamped his feet and said angrily: "Let's go, go back to the palace, and return to the palace to refute his life!"
He left two great Han generals and walked slowly with the empty brocade chariot, and fought with others and headed straight for the imperial city.
*********************************************
Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers discussed the government affairs again, and saw that the morning court should have been dispersed, so they gave up the morning court. All civil and military officials were ordered to return to their posts, leaving behind Li Dongyang, Grand Secretary of the Jinshen Hall, Xie Qian, Grand Secretary of the Huagai Hall, Liu Jian, Grand Secretary of the Wuying Hall, Wang Qiong, Minister of Rites, and Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang, to have dinner in the palace.
Hongzhi wanted to take the opportunity of a banquet to ease the rift between the royal relatives and several grand senators. After all, it would be a headache if the old ministers whom he relied on were always fighting with the royal relatives.
He had secretly instructed Liu Jian. Li Dongyang would plead for Zhang Heling at the luncheon, and then released the Shouning Hou in front of Zhang Yanling, and asked them to investigate Yangling's knowledge together. These people nodded and granted Yangling official position, so no one objected. Because it was a family banquet, Hongzhi specially called the queen and accompanied her brother to have a meal together.
Zhang Yanling has been worried since he went to court today. Seeing that the emperor was easy-going and called the queen sister to accompany him, he calmed down. Yesterday, his mother, Mrs. Jin, came home, and looked for him in panic and told him the news that the prince was beaten. Zhang Yanling was also shocked when he heard this. He did not dare to be negligent and immediately rushed to his brother's mansion to ask about the reason for the fight that day.
Yan Kuan was lying on the bed and pretending to be dead. When he heard that the second marquis was coming, he thought it was the backbone. He quickly hunched over and jumped to him like an old shrimp. When he met, he cried and told him about the whole story and asked him to take charge of himself.
After hearing him, Marquis Jianchang knew that the young scholar he beat that day must be the crown prince. Zhang Yanling couldn't help but feel so angry that his brother was imprisoned because of this thief. He would also encourage himself to stand up. If the Zhang family lost the holy family, he would not be able to hold back his head if he cut him down.
After hearing Yan Kuan's crying, the second master Zhang jumped and kicked an eagle without saying a word. Yan Kuan immediately screamed and rolled to the ground to play with birds. People said that his nephew is like an uncle, and today he is a nephew. Jianchang Hou's kick was extremely accurate. He was kicking the place where Zhu Houzhao was stomping last time. Yan Kuan was hit by another kick on the base of his thigh. He immediately howled, rolled a few times on the ground, and fainted in anger.
Seeing this, his little sister rushed over and cried so hard that the pear blossoms were raining. I wonder if Jianchang Hou's kick had cut off the incense of the Yan family. Zhang Yanling had a blue face and pointed at his brother's favorite concubine and said sternly: "Why are you crying? If this bastard dies and rolls the mat and throws it into the wilderness to feed the dogs! If he is lucky, ask him to restrain himself in the future and put his tail into the butt ditch, so he can go out and cause trouble.
Also, send the troubled document back to the woman as soon as possible, fuck it! Fight the woman with the prince, and the old birthday boy hangs you, you think your life is too long!"
He swept the fiercely clear-headed people and shouted sternly at the servants who were silent all over the yard: "Close your mouth tightly, who has revealed this matter a little bit? I cut his tongue!"
Zhang Yanling beat Yan Kuan and ordered the craftsmen to demolish the buildings that occupied the roads and private houses during the expansion overnight to avoid giving up the population. They were so busy that they had achieved some results in the early morning.
At this time, he saw Hongzhi chatting and laughing, and did not mention the impeachment of his brother. He gradually let go of his worries and welcomed him indifferently. For a while, the host and the host talked happily, and the atmosphere gradually became warm.
Just as he was talking here, the little eunuch hurried back, knelt down on the ground with a loud bang, and cried, "Master, I am guilty, but I have done my job."
Hongzhi said in confusion: "What's the matter done? Get up and talk back."
The little eunuch did not dare to get up and knelt there and said, "I went to pass the imperial edict. After hearing the imperial edict, Mrs. Yang said that his wife was in an acute illness and wanted to accompany her to seek medical treatment. He asked me to return to the palace to submit the imperial edict first. He refused to obey the imperial edict. The slave had no choice but to come back by himself."
All the ministers and workers at the banquet were all in a state of disgrace. Did Yang Ling get rid of the courage of Xiong Xin? He said that his wife was in an acute illness. Even if the sword was being cut from the sky at that time, he would have to respond immediately after receiving the imperial edict. Today, this matter is simply unheard of. How could Emperor Hongzhi not be angry?
Even though Hongzhi was tolerant, his face darkened when he heard this. He threw the ivory chopsticks heavily on the table with a "splash". Seeing this, several ministers hurriedly stood up and bowed, kneeling on the ground and did not dare to let out.
Hongzhi said frightenedly: "What a gamble, Yang Ling, so brave, he dared to resist the imperial edict!"
***************************************
Yang Ling returned home and carried the young lady out of the car. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a clear voice saying: "Yang Shidu, it's such a coincidence. He just entered Beijing and was about to visit him. I didn't expect it. I'm so huh! What's wrong with Mrs. Zun?"
Yang Ling turned his head and saw an old man with a clear face stepping in front of him a few steps and looked at the young mother in his arms in surprise. Yang Ling looked at him dumbly for a while, but he didn't wake up for a while. When the old man saw that he was in a daze, he hurriedly said, "Is Wu Jie, a drug dealer in Jimingyi, below. Do you still remember?"
There were also followers following Yang Ling watching the fun of the people. Wu Jie did not dare to say his official identity, so he reminded him with this identity. After hearing this, Yang Ling felt very familiar. He nodded involuntarily and said, "Remember, you are Wu Jie."
Wu Jie hesitated and asked, "Mr. Yang, what's wrong with Mrs. Zun?"
Yang Ling smiled sadly and said, "Young mother suffers from typhoid fever and is already seriously ill."
"Ah?" Wu Jie, a Qianhu of Jinyiwei, said in surprise: "Typhoid fever? There is a prescription for this. Can you give it a try?"
Yang Ling smiled and said with a weird look: "I have seen all the famous doctors in the capital. No one can do anything about it. Can you cure it?"
Wu Jie's old face turned red and said, "I only know the pharmacology at the bottom. I feel ashamed to talk about the treatment. However, this prescription was handed down by my uncle Wu Qingyuan, and it is said to have miraculous effects on typhoid fever."
When Yang Ling heard that the words Wu Qingyuan were like seven souls and six spirits suddenly attached to his body, he took a step forward, widened his eyes and shouted: "Who are you talking about? Wu Qingyuan? Wu Qingyuan, the head of the Imperial Hospital Hospital?"
Wu Jie was startled and took a step back and said ai: "It's him. My uncle did work as the chief of the Imperial Hospital, but he passed away seven years ago. Have you heard of him?"
Yang Ling was ecstatic. He shouted to the sky and hurriedly said to Wu Jie: "Hurry, come in the room quickly and tell me your prescription!"
In Yangling's room, the doors and windows were closed, and Wu Jie and the Tian brothers were both standing in the main room and waiting for news in the room with nervous expressions.
After Wu Jie copied Zhang's prescription, he immediately asked the coachman to come and get the medicine. The coachman rushed back to "Xinglinju". The Tian brothers heard that Wu Qingyuan, the former master doctor, had a prescription for the world's emergency cold. They immediately grabbed the best medicinal materials and found out what they were like.
Wu Jie's wonderful recipe for typhoid fever is called "Hizhang Paste". It is specially used to treat acute typhoid fever. If you are unconscious, this medicine does not need to be taken. You only use Chuanwu, Caowu, Spotted Hair, Croton, Asarum, pepper, alum, dried ginger, and ephedra in a certain amount and grind it into fine powder. Use vinegar to make paste into pills, clamp it in the patient's armpits, bent your legs, hold one pill on each palm, and press it on it, hold the palms on it, and the limbs are connected, and cover it with thick quilt until the whole body is sweaty, and then wash it with yellow mud water.
Yang Ling was covered with three thick quilts, and his hands were tightly clasped with Youniang's cold little hands. He was sweating on his body. He pressed against Youniang's cheeks, and big beads of sweat rolled down and dripped on Youniang's forehead.
Feeling her subtle breathing, Yang Ling kept calling in her heart: "Young Mother, wake up! Youn Mother, have you heard it? You must come back to life. You promised to stay with your husband for the rest of your life."
Below her, the young lady seemed to hear the call in his heart. After a long time, she let out a faint moan.
***************************************
In the palace, Emperor Hongzhi walked with his hands behind his back and said nothing for a while. Zhang Yanling couldn't help but say angrily: "The emperor is so kind to Yang Ling, he is so arrogant. He is so arrogant. He is so arrogant and acts as a ruthless thing. It's really outrageous. The emperor should be beheaded him immediately to show the world!"
Wang Qiong, the Minister of Rites, was so angry that his hair was flying, and he said angrily: "Heaven, Earth, Lord, and Teacher! Yang Ling has read so many books of sages in vain, but he doesn't even understand this principle. If this person is not killed, what is the majesty of the court? Your Majesty, please issue an order."
Although Liu Jian and others were sympathetic to talent, Yang Ling’s play this time was really outrageous. The emperor had an imperial edict but refused to accept it. That was a serious crime to destroy the nine clans. Killing him alone would be considered a bargain. How could they say what they would ask His Majesty to be kind to you?
Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was walking slower and slower, Li Dongyang slowly frowned and seemed to be about to issue an order. He became nervous and suddenly came up with a solution. He didn't care whether it would work at this time. He immediately knelt forward and said in great anger: "Your Majesty, don't hesitate anymore. I also thought Yang Ling should be killed. Your Majesty summoned him to the palace and the Holy Edict was the most important thing in the world. He said that his wife was seriously ill. Even if his family was in a fire, he had to rush into the palace immediately. How could it be so contrary to the rules and regulations? "
Li Dongyang said honestly: "What's more, if the sick person is his parents' high-ranking family, it's fine, at least he still has filial piety, but what is a wife? If a wife dies, marry another one. A real man makes a fortune, so why worry about not having a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine? Yang Ling has a wife but no father, and has a relative but no king. As the saying goes: a wife is like clothes."
Liu Jian and Xie Qian were puzzled for a moment. Li Dongyang was a literary master of the times. Why did he speak so vulgar today? Besides, Your Majesty clearly has the intention of loving talents, so talented people have been determined to kill him for a long time. It would be fine if you don’t care about the backwards, but why would you take the blame for the consequences?
