Chapter 102

Prime Minister Cui finally entered the palace through the Xihua Gate.

Empress Yang does not sell anyone's face, but this "political ally" must sell face.

Moreover, when an official's family is sick, the prime minister has the right to visit him, so he should be careful not to let the harem or eunuchs control the palace, keep the funeral secret, and harm the government.

Cui Miyuan, who used to walk in an even and steady manner, almost jogged all the way to Funing Hall after entering the palace this time, and it was hard for his 70-year-old bones.

The old man is really in a hurry.

Unlike Chai Ziyun, who was still making a political show outside the Donghua Gate at this time, the prince estimated that it was the gods and Buddhas all over the sky who bless the official family to return to heaven as soon as possible.

But Cui Miyuan was different. He was probably one of the two people who least wanted the official family to die in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. He sincerely hoped that the official family could live a long life.

The other is Queen Yang.

The day the officials died was when Cui Miyuan and Empress Yang lost power, and no matter how bad it was, it was the time when the power struggle became apparent. For the "political animals", it was more uncomfortable than killing them.

What's more, the "Prince Hall" has been fighting with the "Xiangdang" for many years, and the two parties have accumulated deep grievances. If this political opponent comes to power, if he is not good enough for him, Cui Miyuan, the power minister, may capsize in the gutter, and there will be nowhere to cry.

Think about the fate of Zhang Juzheng and He Shen, and so on, these two have not yet appeared at this time.

For another person, think about the prime ministers of Qin, Lu Buwei and Li Si, what will happen in the end?Isn't it all overturned in the gutter by the heir to the throne.

Some people would say, since Cui Miyuan was so worried that Chai Ziyun would be unfavorable to him when he came to power, why didn't he get Chai Ziyun down?

In history, there were not a few incidents in which powerful ministers killed the prince. In the Qin Dynasty, the prince Fusu was killed by two successive prime ministers, Li Si and Zhao Gao.

But the times are different. Before Fusu was killed, Emperor Shihuang had already received a lunch box, and Li Si and Zhao Gao could pretend to pass on the imperial decree and do whatever they wanted.

But now in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the power of the prime minister is more reflected in "government affairs", and he has no military power in his hands.Politicians without military power often have no right to speak at critical moments.

Even above the court, he has potential opponents. Deputy Prime Minister Xu Zuoqian is respectful on the surface, but behind his back he is a standard smiling tiger.

A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.
In the same way, there is no second-in-command in the world, and those who don't want to be the first-in-command are almost always trying to figure out how to get rid of the first-in-command and replace them with themselves.

Besides, Chai Ziyun's prince position was appointed by the officials himself, and he nodded in agreement, which was legally valid.

Even if Empress Yang is dissatisfied with Chai Ziyun, this dissatisfaction is far from being life-and-death. What's more, Empress Yang loves the official family in her heart and will hardly object to the official family's decision.

Therefore, without the support of the palace and the military, Cui Miyuan would not be able to do such a major event that shakes the foundation of the country, such as "exchanging reserves", so he can only think about it in his heart.

Funing Hall.

After Cui Miyuan came in, he knelt down in front of Emperor Yuan Jing's bed. Although he lowered his head, he kept looking at the person on the hospital bed from the corner of his eyes.

"The old minister sees the official family, ma'am."

The official's family that I saw out of the corner of my eye was lying flat on the bed at this time, his whole face was waxy yellow, and his two eyeballs were deeply sunken, looking very ugly.

If Emperor Yuan Jing hadn't waved his hand at this time, indicating that he heard it, Cui Miyuan would have thought that the official family had already died?

"Official, why are you like this?"

Cui Miyuan's tears came as soon as he said it, with his hands resting on the edge of the bed, his voice was choked up, and he looked very distressed.

Empress Yang was also very haggard, and quickly ordered on behalf of the officials: "Come here, help the Prime Minister get up and give him a seat."

Cui Miyuan didn't care about Junqian's rudeness at this time, and asked dissatisfiedly to the imperial physicians:

"The government has become like this overnight. What do you eat at the Taiyuan Hospital? Don't you have such a group of famous doctors in the world? If Cui Yicheng is still alive, how could it be like this, how could it be like this?"

When Empress Yang heard this, she remembered Cui Wenmao's good fortune back then, and she also sighed in her heart.

He let go of the fact that the Cui family's Meisu Wan had no effect, and thought that the Cui family was loyal anyway, and wanted to send the medicine to the palace in time, although the result was not ideal.

It has to be said that Cui Miyuan's ability to manipulate people's hearts is really perfect. With a single word, he pulled the Cui family brothers out of this matter.

He also used Chen Jinbai and other imperial physicians who were unfavorable to treat the disease, reminded Queen Yang of the dead Cui Wenmao, gained sympathy, and prepared for the next step of the Cui family's recovery.

In fact, Empress Yang didn't think about it, even if Cui Wenmao didn't die, there was a high probability that Gushengtang's secret medicine "Meisu Pill" was used, and it was still useless.

Upon hearing the prime minister's accusation, the imperial physicians in the hall knelt together again.

This night, they didn't know how many times they knelt down. If this continues, these little old men will probably be too tired to see their backs.

Cui Miyuan is still not satisfied, he intends to stand for the Cui family today and seize the throne of Yicheng, so as to plant an important eyeliner in the palace, so he pretended to frown again:
"I remember that the current doctor is Chen Jinbai from Jingshitang, right? Isn't he known as the 'King of Bianliang Shanghan'? Why, now that the government is like this, he can't cure it? What about him, what about others?"

The old man pretended to be stupid, and his acting skills were qualified.

Empress Yang waved her hand impatiently: "I was sent to the inner prison last night, um, it really is a silver-like wax gun head, it looks useless, let alone stop diarrhea, it didn't even reduce the fever , and the Typhoid King.”

When Cui Miyuan heard this, he was overjoyed.

When Pan Bihe heard this, he was startled.

Queen Yang sentenced Chen Jinsong to "death sentence"?

Cui Miyuan knew that this topic should not be talked about too much, and it would be easy for Empress Yang to realize that something was wrong if she talked too much, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, I hope that there will be no imperial physicians, what should I do next?"

"The only way to do it now is to seek a folk doctor. Please pray that someone will reveal the list of doctors seeking medical treatment soon. The officials are so weak that they can't be delayed."

"Then, do you want to recruit Duke Cheng to serve you?"

Cui Miyuan cautiously probed again.

Empress Yang shook her head: "No need, just let him continue to be his filial son outside the Donghua Gate, the official family, the official family will be fine."

Pan Bihe, who was kneeling outside, sighed softly, and whispered to the imperial physician Du Xiuzhu next to him:

"It's useless for the two of us to intercede. There was still some hope, but now that the prime minister has made such a fuss, it seems that Jing Shitang will be peeled off if he doesn't die this time."

Du Xiuzhu also had a bitter expression on his face: "After all, they are all Qinghe Cui's family, so of course they will help me. Even if we combine the three families, we can't beat their Gushengtang family, alas."

The three families are all relatives by marriage, and in private they are allies. If Jingshitang falls, the remaining two will be even more difficult. By then, the Gushengtang family will be the only one in Bianliang City.
