Uncle from a poor family

Chapter 381 There’s something wrong with your brain
In order to fight with Li Zisheng, Wan'an used many dirty tricks.

He had regarded Zhang Luan as Li Zisheng's top man. If he wanted to get rid of Li Zisheng, he had to start with Zhang Luan. The partner he chose was Deng Changen, who had fallen before.

"Lord Wan, are you saying that you plan to deal with the Minister of Rites Zhang Luan?" Deng Chang'en was called to Wan'an's residence. When he learned of Wan'an's plan, he was very surprised.

Because in Deng Changen's opinion, Zhang Luan is not on the same track as him.

Although Zhang Luan now occupies his former position as Minister of Rites, the problem is that his opponent has always been Li Zisheng.

Fighting with the father-in-law of a prince and the future emperor?

In the future, this father-in-law will definitely enter the Governor's Office and even be granted a title. Is it necessary for me to be irreconcilable with him?

Wan An said, "You haven't figured it out yet? Lizi Province has been thriving in the past six months, all thanks to Zhang Luan's help behind the scenes."

"Just... him?"

Deng Chang'en asked in surprise, "Lord Wan, if you think Zhang Taichang is capable, you can show your goodwill and recruit him to your side. After all, he is a civil official of the Hanlin Academy. There is no need for him to be irreconcilable with you, right? But if you think he is incapable, how can he help Li Zisheng?"

Deng Chang'en is very smart and logical at this moment.

Because he didn't want to fight with Zhang Luan at all. Firstly, it was meaningless, and secondly, if he won the fight, he would probably be blamed and would never be able to live in peace.

Wan An said: "Master Deng, it seems that you don't want to cooperate... Don't you want to bring down Lizi Province? This is the only chance to turn the tables, just tell me whether you will do it or not."

Wan'an was very tough at this time.

I've given you a chance to make a comeback, but you don't cherish it?
Although I know you don't want to fight with Zhang Luan and you don't dare to go after the prince now, but I need you to do this and you have to cooperate unconditionally. Otherwise, you will be alone from now on and you won't be able to find anyone who can help you in the future.

Deng Chang'en was convinced at this time and said hurriedly, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Wan An nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, I will find a group of death row prisoners, give them the medicine, and then find people with smallpox. I will let those who have not been given the medicine and those who have been given the medicine gather together to see who gets sick and who doesn't."

"Then... wouldn't that mean a lot of people will die?"

Deng Chang'en was surprised.

Wan An angrily said, "They are prisoners on death row, and you still feel pity for them?"

Deng Chang'en frowned and shook his head, "How can we find so many prisoners sentenced to death in such a short time?"

"Then find refugees and beggars, give each of them a resettlement allowance, and ask them to participate voluntarily. I will report this matter to Your Majesty and expose Zhang Luan in front of the world as a fraud who is seeking fame and reputation. I will also use this to prove that Li Zisheng, in order to gain fame, did not hesitate to find a liar to diagnose Your Majesty.

"Do you understand the joints behind it?"

Wan'an looked at Deng Chang'en angrily.

When Deng Chang'en heard that Li Zisheng was involved, he agreed and bowed, saying, "I will go find someone right away, but this requires the support of the government. Only a prime minister like you can mobilize them. And you have to ask His Majesty for permission."

Wan An said: "Don't worry about this, I will let you participate in the whole process!"

"..."

Deng Changen was speechless for a moment.

He suddenly realized that he had been tricked by Wan'an.

So the idea of ​​conducting a smallpox infection experiment is to let me be a participant and referee? Doesn't that mean... I will also be in danger?

Wan An sneered, "This is your only chance. His Majesty wants to promote Concubine Shao to a noble concubine, and confer titles of nobility on several princes. Li Zisheng is in charge of everything. If he succeeds, His Majesty will trust him even more. Do you think... you still have a chance to make a name for yourself?"

"I……"

Deng Changen sighed and said helplessly, "Lord Wan, you don't have to say these alarmist words. Can't I just listen to you? I will do whatever you say."

……

……

Forbidden City.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Wan'an's memorial was sent to the emperor through Wei Tai, who spoke to the emperor personally.

After listening to this, Zhu Jianshen frowned and asked, "What exactly does Wan'an want to do?"

Originally, Zhu Jianshen wanted Wan'an to find a miracle doctor to replace Zhang Luan. After all, Zhang Luan himself said that the medicine he prescribed was not effective, and there was no suitable replacement medicine at the moment.

In desperation, the emperor wanted to find a doctor as soon as possible to save his life.

As for the pursuit...

He didn't mean to do that.

But what he didn't know was that Wan'an was so focused on bringing down Zhang Luan and Li Zisheng that he didn't care about how to treat the emperor.

Wan'an is determined to prove that Zhang Luan is a liar and use this to attack Li Zisheng, while at the same time putting the blame on the crown prince to make his future life easier. After all, the crown prince is about to find out about him.

Wei Tai said: "Your Majesty, from what I have seen, Lord Wan wants to prove that Zhang Taichang is incapable of treating your majesty."

Zhu Jianshen's face was dark as he said, "Whether the medicine worked or not, I have used it myself. Do I need him to prove it? Ahem!"

Wei Tai smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is right. Even the people in the Imperial Hospital agree that Zhang Taichang's medicine is effective. However... Your Majesty's condition is getting worse. Maybe Lord Wan is worried that someone is plotting something bad." "Then where is the doctor I asked him to find?"

Zhu Jianshen said angrily.

"This... I have already asked him, and he said that he will arrive in the capital in the next two days and will enter the palace soon." Wei Tai was also helpless.

Because Wei Tai realized that Wan'an was just fooling around.

It's a very simple logic. The person hasn't even arrived in Beijing. Why do you, Wan'an, say that this person has the ability to diagnose and treat the emperor's liver disease?

If you just find a doctor who claims to be a famous doctor in another place, how high can his level be? Only one in ten thousand can be on par with the level of the great doctors in the Imperial Hospital.

It's useless to rely on hearsay alone!

What the emperor wants now is a doctor who can actually cure diseases, not a chatterbox who can only brag.

Zhu Jianshen asked, "What does he want to do now?"

Wei Tai said: "According to what Lord Wan said, Zhang Taichang used the method of planting medicine to prevent smallpox, making the people think they can resist the plague, but they don't know that they are in danger. Once the plague breaks out on a large scale, countless people will die... That's probably what he meant. He said that Zhang Taichang brought disaster to the country and the people."

Zhu Jianshen said coldly: "He wants to use this to attack Li Zisheng, saying that Li Zisheng found a liar to treat me, right?"

"This one……"

Wei Tai was speechless for a moment.

I was thinking, you’ve seen it all, what else can I say?
That's right.

I don't need to say it, and others don't need to guess. Anyone can see that Wan'an is now attacking and bullying people everywhere in order to form a small circle. He has gone crazy.

Wei Tai said: "Then your majesty, I will send someone to reject him and let him... retreat?"

"Need not."

Zhu Jianshen raised his hand and said, "In fact, I also want to know how my relative-in-law can prevent the world from getting sick. If the treatment of smallpox is really effective, then is there any problem in letting him treat me?"

Wei Tai also nodded quickly: "Your Majesty, if he can even cure smallpox and save the people of the Ming Dynasty from suffering from smallpox epidemics, then his medical skills... are unprecedented..."

Zhu Jianshen said, "Then let him do it! At the same time, tell Wan'an that if the famous doctor he mentioned cannot be brought to the palace within three days, let him handle it himself! Humph, this blind guy, who does he think he is?"

"Then your majesty, this matter...should we inform Master Li and Zhang Taichang?" Wei Tai couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Jianshen shook his head: "No need to say, I believe Li Qing will know it soon. True gold is not afraid of fire, it will only take a few days... What I want now is someone who can heal me!"

……

……

"what?"

At Li Zi Provincial Government.

When Pang Qing learned the news from the messenger and told Li Zisheng the news, Li Zisheng stood there for a long time without coming back to his senses, and asked in a daze, "What is this going to do?"

Pang Qing introduced the situation: "It is said that this is an order from your majesty, but it is also a request from Wan'an. I heard that Wan'an took the initiative to undertake the task of treating your majesty, and said that in the next two days, a skilled doctor of Qihuang who can treat liver disease will enter the palace to treat your majesty."

Li Zisheng frowned and asked, "Is he mentally ill? Why is he still willing to wade into this muddy water at this moment? I thought only Lai Zhan had the courage to do this. It seems that I still underestimated that old man Wan An."

"This……"

Pang Qing was quite speechless, but he still analyzed truthfully, "In my opinion, Wan'an is not mentally ill, it's just... he is doing everything he can to fight you. It may also be that the prince has become more and more active recently, which has forced him into a corner."

Li Zisheng said, "That is to say, he is now certain that Lai Zhan's method of curing acne is ineffective, so he wants to use this method to expose Lai Zhan as a charlatan and then use it to attack me?"

"That should be the case."

Pang Qing nodded.

Li Zisheng was even more surprised and asked, "But Laizhan has been in Beijing for more than half a year. If it really didn't work, the streets would be full of people with acne by now, right? Why is it still calm now?"

Pang Qing said: "It is said that Wan'an thinks that smallpox mainly occurs in winter, and last year when Zhang Hanlin planted the medicine, the smallpox epidemic in the areas around the capital had just passed, and then... there was no outbreak again."

"This...he...cough cough."

Li Zisheng coughed a few times and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm almost confused by Wan's anger... How can he be mentally ill? I think he is tired of living! He is openly questioning Lai Zhan! Doesn't he know who Lai Zhan is? The father-in-law of the prince! Even if he is a charlatan, he is still the father of the prince's wife. He has no idea how loving the prince and the princess are, right?"

Pang Qing explained: "Wan'an originally wanted to defeat the crown prince and promote the change of crown prince, so he would not care about these things."

Li Zisheng sneered and shook his head, "Humph, this kind of person is crazy. In order to fight me, he used all kinds of lousy tricks. I really don't understand how he passed the provincial and metropolitan examinations and became a Jinshi. I think he is clearly looking for death! What kind of smallpox experiment? I'm afraid that he will be slapped in the face by reality and won't show any mercy in the end."

Pang Qing asked: "Then let's just ignore it?"

"Let him do it himself."

Li Zisheng said decisively, "Laizhan was worried before. He worked so hard to treat His Majesty, but he couldn't cure her. This put a lot of pressure on him. Now someone has taken the initiative to take over the job. Laizhan and I can breathe a sigh of relief!"

At this point, Li Zisheng became interested and raised his voice, "Hey, not only do I not object this time, on the contrary, I will help Wan... Isn't he capable? I will make him jump to the sky!
"The higher you jump, the harder you fall! Let's see who will die then!"
