Uncle from a poor family

Chapter 305: The one I found is not a helper

Too inside the hospital.

Zhang Yuan continued to negotiate with Li Zisheng. He kept persuading Li Zisheng to leave, but Li Zisheng was determined. I finally brought the prescription here. Either you give Your Majesty a new prescription, or you follow my arrangements and boil the medicine for Your Majesty according to my prescription and let Your Majesty take it.

Neither of them agrees?
Sorry, I have to stay here.

You said I disturbed the daily operation of the Imperial Medical Bureau?
casual.

I haven't blamed you for delaying my duties as the Minister of Public Security.

at last……

When the eunuch Tan Chang, who was in charge of the Imperial Household Department, arrived, everyone in the Imperial Medical Bureau breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, a big shot who could cure Li Zisheng had arrived.

After all, there are very few people in the court who are qualified to confront Li Zisheng head-on, and Qin Chang happens to be one of them.

"Master Li, why do you have to bother with them?"

Qin Chang entered the central hall and greeted Li Zisheng first, then politely advised, "Your Majesty's medication has always been the job of the Imperial Hospital. You shouldn't ask about it casually. This is unreasonable."

Li Zisheng asked coldly, "Eunuch Tan, are you going to force yourself to stand up for them?"

Tan Chang was stunned.

I thought to myself that what you said was very strong!
Could it be that the emperor asked you to do this, and I didn't grasp the direction of the wind?

Li Zisheng took out the list that he had shown to the imperial doctors and said, "This is a prescription I collected from the folks. It is suitable for treating liver and spleen diseases. It has been verified to be effective. I would like to ask why these imperial doctors who receive salaries from the court are trying to hinder me?"

"what?"

Qin Chang was shocked. He looked at Li Zisheng carefully and asked cautiously, "You... found a new recipe? And it was actually verified?"

Of course Li Zisheng had never verified it, but he could not help but have full confidence in Zhang Luan.

Since Lai Zhan said this recipe is effective, who else can I trust if I don’t trust him?

"Eunuch Tan, you don't think that I have been standing by and watching His Majesty being ill, do you?"

Li Zisheng's eyes widened with anger, and he said in a rebellious tone, "I was also very nervous and sad about this, and even lost my appetite and couldn't sleep at night, so I took great pains to search for various folk remedies and look for famous doctors...

"However, there are very few people in this world who can compete with the great doctors of the Imperial Hospital. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are countless difficulties and obstacles. Fortunately, hard work pays off... I finally found the prescription that can cure liver and spleen diseases!"

Speaking of this, Li Zisheng's face was full of relief.

Tan Chang was surprised and delighted, and asked quickly: "Who did it come from?"

Not only was Qin Chang curious, but all the imperial doctors who were listening in the audience looked at Li Zisheng with surprise.

Li Zisheng shook his head and said, "Am I here to talk about the doctor today? I'm just here to talk about this prescription... and to ask the people at the Imperial Hospital why they didn't use it? Is there some unspeakable secret?"

Qin Chang also turned his gun around this time. He looked at Zhang Yuan with a stern face and asked coldly, "Envoy Zhang, since Master Li took so much effort to find the prescription from the people, why did you just reject it?"

Zhang Yuan was organizing his thoughts to see how to respond to Tan Chang's questioning, when Shi Qin jumped out and reminded him loudly: "Eunuch Tan, the Imperial Hospital has always had its own rules for using medicines. How can you... just find a random prescription and use it arbitrarily? If something goes wrong... the sky will fall..."

Qin Chang turned his head, stared at Shi Qin, and asked coldly: "Why are you talking about this and that? It seems that as doctors, you only want stability and never ask for flexibility, right?"

"what?"

Facing Qin Chang's death stare, Shi Qin was also panicked.

We found someone to make the decision for us, but this person turned against us right away?
Just when Shi Qin was about to say something, Zhang Yuan stopped him.

Apparently Zhang Yuan was very familiar with the routine... What kind of status did Li Zisheng have in the court? How could they, a group of imperial doctors, compare to him? The emperor also had great trust in Li Zisheng. If Li Zisheng had a legitimate motive for doing something, even if Qin Chang was the internal minister, he would not dare to confront him head-on.

Zhang Yuan bowed and said, "Eunuch Tan, Li Yintai, our Imperial Hospital does things differently from other government offices. We must be extremely careful when treating patients and saving lives, not to mention that the use of medicines concerns Your Majesty's own body. Every prescription is carefully considered and decided by us after consulting the classics for a long time, and it is often effective.

"Now Li Yintai has just brought a prescription. Regardless of its origin, this prescription has not been verified by the Imperial Hospital and cannot be used casually on the nobles in the palace. Moreover, the person being administered the medicine is the current emperor. Do you want Your Majesty to be the first person to test the medicine?"

Qin Chang sighed slightly when he heard this, looked at Li Zisheng, and said with a wry smile: "Master Li, there is nothing wrong with what you said. Should we think about this prescription a little more? Or let the people in the Imperial Hospital organize a verification first. If it is really effective, we can use it on His Majesty after a while. What do you think?"

Li Zisheng said, "No need. I have already verified it. I came to the Imperial Hospital to inform you, not to discuss with you. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility and will never shirk my responsibility!"

"correct."

Qin Chang was delighted, and quickly looked at Zhang Yuan, saying with deep approval, "Master Li is so cautious in doing things. I don't think he will fail in this matter!
"Besides, how concerned is Master Li about your majesty's health? How could he act rashly without any reason? Moreover, Master Li also said that this medicine has been proven in practice. What do you have to worry about? Why don't you quickly arrange for someone to prepare the medicine according to the prescription and quickly boil the medicine for your majesty!"

The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department kept repeating these words over and over again, leaving everyone in the Imperial Medical Bureau confused.

All thinking.

As the Prime Minister, you are always in the presence of His Majesty and have great power in the court. How can you be so fence-sitter?

You really go wherever the wind blows!

Zhang Yuan decided to take a step back and said, "Eunuch Tan, this is against the rules. If Li Yintai goes to offer the medicine himself, we have no right to interfere, but he must not use the name of the Imperial Hospital, that's all." Tan Chang looked at Li Zisheng again and asked curiously, "Why didn't Master Li offer the prescription himself? His Majesty trusts you very much... Didn't His Majesty accept the prescription you offered before and even take it himself?"

Li Zisheng said angrily, "I just don't like these guys in the Imperial Hospital who are just sitting there doing nothing, so I asked them to verify the reliability of this prescription in person and let them atone for their sins with practical actions. But the result was disappointing. They are just clinging to their position as imperial physicians and doing nothing practical!
"Besides, shouldn't I ask them about the use of medicine, especially when it involves curing diseases and saving lives? They are in this business, so they must have professional insights or find something good in the prescription. But they didn't give me any useful advice except saying it's not okay. It's simply... not doing their job!"

"Ugh!"

Qin Chang was speechless for a moment, then glanced at Zhang Yuan and said seriously, "How about this, we should send the new medicine when it's time... We'll prepare the medicine according to Li Xianshi's prescription, and send it to Your Majesty after it's boiled. We'll also clearly explain to Your Majesty that this prescription was found by Li Xianshi from the folk. What do you think?"

Shi Qin was anxious and shouted to stop him: "Your Majesty is already taking medicine for liver disease. If the two medicines conflict with each other, won't there be a big mess?"

Li Zisheng stood up suddenly and glared at Shi Qin: "Tell me clearly right now, which medicine in my prescription conflicts with the medicine prescribed by your Imperial Hospital? If you can't explain it clearly today, I won't leave!"

"I……"

Shi Qin didn't expect Li Zisheng to be so tough today. He got furious directly. Looking at his posture, he was about to jump onto the table to duel with them!
"OK OK."

Qin Chang stood up and said, "Is what we said not effective? Even if it is the job of your Imperial Hospital to examine His Majesty, but when something happens, shouldn't we be flexible? You can report this to His Majesty and let him make the decision!"

Shi Qin was so angry that he shouted at Qin Chang: "Eunuch Qin, even you can't tell right from wrong?"

"shut up!"

Zhang Yuan hurriedly called a halt, but it was too late.

Qin Chang's sharp eyes slashed across Shi Qin's face like a knife. He said coldly, "It's not that I don't know right from wrong, but I've seen that the prescription hasn't been changed for several months. Previously, this medicine had a certain effect on your majesty's condition, but in the past month or so, your majesty's health has become worse. Are you all blind and can't see it?"

"That's because someone presented other medicines and made your majesty's body..." Shi Qin almost wanted to say that it was all Li Zisheng's fault for presenting the fierce and wolfish medicines, causing the emperor to squander.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Qin Chang was so angry that he laughed. He pointed at Shi Qin's nose and scolded him: "You should act according to your conscience. Don't you know whether your medicine is effective or not?"

All the imperial doctors present looked ashamed.

Many people who are familiar with the situation know that the people in the Imperial Hospital are now afraid of being blamed and dare not change the medicine easily. They would rather continue to use the prescription written by Zhonglan who has gone back to observe the mourning period, rather than step forward and show their skills.

Qin Chang made a decision with a dark face: "This is settled in advance. If you people from the Imperial Hospital still have objections, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Zhang Yuan said with a bitter face: "In this case, then we will do as Eunuch Tan said, but to be on the safe side, I will personally go to the Qianqing Palace to offer medicine and explain the matter to Your Majesty."

Qin Chang rolled his eyes upon hearing this and said in a mocking tone: "Hey, are you still worried that this embarrassing thing won't reach His Majesty's ears? Do you think someone will cover it up? You... you are not using your minds in the right place. You are obviously doctors, but you always think of yourself as an official! Go, hurry up and boil the medicine!"

……

……

Li Zisheng brought Pang Qing out of the Imperial Hospital, and Tan Chang followed them out.

Li Zisheng bowed and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Tan, for your righteous words."

"Ugh!"

Qin Chang shook his head and sighed, "What kind of a mess have these people in the Imperial Hospital become now? Do they still have the heart to save the dying and the wounded? This is really an eye-opener for us... But Master Li, can you tell me who wrote this prescription?"

"No comment."

Li Zisheng answered very straightforwardly, which made Qin Changdu embarrassed.

Pang Qing smiled and said, "They were collected from the people, so they might not have been made by the same person."

Qin Chang thought, could it be the prescription that Zhang Laizhan gave you?

Are you afraid to say it directly to avoid suspicion?
Li Zisheng said righteously: "Eunuch Tan, it doesn't matter who wrote the prescription. What matters most is whether it is effective for your majesty's illness! In fact, the use of medicine also requires the right treatment for the right person. Both are indispensable. What do you think?"

"That makes sense."

Qin Chang smiled and nodded, then asked, "Then...what is the name of this prescription?"

"Yinzhihuang, isn't this a good name for a prescription?"

Li Zisheng had a somewhat smug look on his face, and said with great joy, "I heard from the person who wrote the prescription that this medicine has a miraculous effect on liver disease... Eunuch Qin, do you know how much effort I put into getting this prescription? Alas! If it doesn't work, then I'm completely helpless."

Qin Chang asked curiously, "So what did you do to convince the other party to prescribe this medicine?"

Li Zisheng said, I cried and begged, and even promised Zhang Laizhan all kinds of benefits, and it was very difficult to get him to open his mouth.

I have sacrificed a lot.

"It cannot be said. It cannot be said!"

Li Zisheng shook his head and said, "Please don't ask any more questions, Eunuch Tan. When it comes to medication, practice is the best approach."
