Never tolerate it, never tolerate it...

These eight words were spoken from a young man who was about to ascend the throne as the emperor, which was enough to make Liu Wentai lose his soul. However, for the three cabinet masters in the cabinet, even if they saw Zhu Houzhao from time to time, they knew that the little prince was stubborn and merciless. Compared with the loud statements in front of him, the past nonsense and willfulness had become trivial matters worth mentioning. At this moment, what the three of them thought of was not only Liu Wentai's affairs, but also the future direction of the court, personnel appointments and removals, and all kinds of problems that touched the whole body.

The way to govern the country is balance and compromise, but Zhu Houzhao insists on doing the opposite!

So Liu Jian made up his mind and immediately said, "Your Highness, I have something to do with Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, and I beg you to take your back and forth."

When he heard this, everyone was unhappy about the eunuchs around Zhu Houzhao. However, Liu Jin, the most unhappy, advised others in a bare manner: "Everyone, the first beating masters said, let's go out to avoid it first, don't miss the big affairs of the cabinet masters. There are still many things to watch outside, so let's go and do our work first..."

After Liu Jin advised him, he headed out again. Even if the rest were reluctant, they could only follow behind. After leaving the Dongguan Pavilion, Gu Dayong, who was almost wearing a pair of pants, immediately stopped and said to Liu Jin with a angrily: "Why are you chasing us out? It is a foregone conclusion that the three old guys protect Liu Wentai. Stay there to see if they are hypocritical in their usual way? Besides, these civil servants can do anything when they are excited. What if they hurt Your Highness?"

"If there is really the last one you said, can they still stay in the cabinet?" Liu Jin smiled and saw that the others understood it and they all dispersed. He hooked his hand and instructed Gu Dayong to come over, "The three of them have gone down, and we won't get any benefits for a while. What's important is the old guys in the palace. Yesterday, Wang Yue criticized you but you didn't criticize him enough? Although Tai Yuanzi promised you to be the governor of the West Factory, don't you think about Wang Yue's qualifications and what qualifications are you?"

"What did you think?"

"That's not simple. Looking for help outside!" Liu Jin said this without thinking, and then he was afraid that Gu Dayong would not understand, and then said softly, "The people in this palace are watching us begging His Highness Tai Chi, and they will stick to it without giving them any benefits, but what about the people outside? Don't forget how Li Guang died back then. It was the words of the Empress Dowager and the death of the little princess. If it weren't for the clamoring outside, the Empress Dowager would speak, and he would commit suicide? Two brothers in the world, listen to me!"

"Old Liu, your head is really good!" Gu Dayong nodded repeatedly, his face full of convincing. Seeing Liu Jin coming up proudly, he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the entrance of Qianqing. He quickly changed the topic and said, "Look, it is the priest's jun order, Xu Xun has come!"

When Liu Jin looked there, he was pulled over by Gu Dayong involuntarily. When he saw each other, Gu Dayong nodded at the main hall and said, "You are here just right. The three old men are arguing with Your Highness! I don't understand what the benefits are they taking Liu Wentai, and they actually fought with Your Highness for such a quack doctor, and drove us out!"

Xu Xun then realized that Liu Jian and other three elders of the cabinet were actually in the Qing Palace. When he heard Gu Dayong's words, he shook his head and said, "Liu Wentai has nothing outside of his body to impress those three elders. Most of them said something cleverly that the three were unable to stay out of the matter... By the way, the leader Zhang Yu had already caught it, saying that it was the emperor's illness this time, and the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital did not take the medicine directly."

"My God, these bastards...Oh!"

Gu Dayong exclaimed in disrespect. It was not until Liu Jin kicked him directly on the shin that he suddenly woke up and saw something wrong in this place. He quickly smiled and asked Xu Xun in to ask. Because Emperor Hongzhi had only Empress Zhang, the palace maids who had served, have been sent out now. Some of them will go to Sixiang in the future, and some of them will be assigned separately. There are only some eunuchs left here, and there are not many that Xu Xun can avoid. The two of them took Xu Xun directly to the Zhaoren Hall in the west corridor behind the Ganqing Palace. As soon as they sat down, they asked Zhang Yu's confession.

Although Xu Xun did not use various methods of torture, he still understood the way to attack the heart.

In addition, Zhang Yu was already a frightened bird and wanted to leave himself clean. Therefore, he really asked a lot of news this night. From Liu Wentai gave gifts to Zhang Yu, from precious medicinal materials to yellow and white goods, it was worth no less than thousands of taels; to Liu Wentai had treated several court officials, and even left Yizi's prescriptions; to the Imperial Hospital, many imperial doctors and doctors were very good at medical skills, but they did not know many exquisite channels to store alchemy. The Imperial Hospital had many kinds of meatballs secretly stored in the Imperial Hospital.

"…Liu Jingu Datong was amazed by hearing it.

At the end, Xu Xun said the most important sentence: "Zhang Yu also said that he and Liu Wentai made great contributions to the Empress being able to give birth to His Highness Tai Chi Zi in one fell swoop."

"What is this? Even such credit is dare to be attributed to him and Liu Wentai. Who is Zhang Yu like him?" Liu Jin's expression changed for a moment. But as he said, he suddenly thought that Empress Zhang trusted Liu Wentai and Emperor Hongzhi, and his face became a little bad. He thought that this sentence might be true, so he lowered his voice, "But one code is one code, and the merit is not worth the result. You can't lose this great crime because of his merits...

It was the first time that Xu Xun heard such an incredible thing. He was thinking about how to report to Zhu Houzhao when a loud noise suddenly came from outside. He was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Liu Jingu Dayong had already rushed out, he quickly followed behind and saw that Liu Jin and the other two had already come out of the main hall and went down the steps. At the door, Zhu Houzhao was standing there with anger.

"You don't need to say anything more, I'm determined!"

Liu Jian had just tried his best to express his interests, but he got such an answer at this moment. He felt depressed and helpless, and was so frustrated. Xie Qian, who was beside him, hadn't heard a word, but Zhu Houzhao couldn't listen to a word. Instead, he kept asking him, if his father was harmed by a quack doctor, could he have to bear it and sigh? As for Li Dongyang, he had almost said nothing from beginning to end today, but at this time when he was leaving, he bowed deeply to Zhu Houzhao.

"Your Highness Tailongzi, Liu Wentai is a little concerned, but I ask Your Highness to say something to the Empress to avoid turmoil afterwards."

The three cabinet ministers - bowed down and immediately found Xu Xun who was with Liu Jingu Datong on the other side. Liu Jian and Xie Qian frowned at the same time, as if they didn't see it.

Although Li Dongyang nodded slightly to Xu Xun's salute

But they didn't stop or say anything. When the three of them left, Zhu Houzhao quickly ran down the steps.

"Liu Jingu Dayong, you go and see what happened to the mother. Xu Xun, come with me!"

Zhu Houzhao did not enter the Ganqing Palace, but took Xu Xun straight through the east corridor to the empty hall near Jiaotai Hall. He stopped. He turned his back to Xu Xun and suddenly squatted down. Then he sat down on the ground without any emperor's manners, without looking back: "Xu Xun, I want to kill Liu Wentai."

You must kill Liu Wentai, no matter what others say! If I don’t kill them and pay my father’s life, I won’t do this emperor!”

It is logical that the new emperor will change his claim after the throne ceremony, but at this moment, a sudden intent appeared in Zhu Houzhao.

But he used a tone of gritting teeth. Hearing Xu Xun's not making a sound, he said to himself: "Liu Jian and the other three actually said that Liu Wentai said that the father and the emperor could have another child for the sake of his mother, so he took some pills and couldn't get sick.

He talks nonsense! The father has always been the most sensible and will never joke with his body. The one he feels most painful is me and my mother... Li Dongyang said why did I ask me to ask my mother, nonsense? Will my mother still have a quarrel with me for a mere imperial physician?"

At this moment, Xu Xun finally looked at a taste of the child and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the eunuch of the Ministry of Social Affairs, Zhang Yu, also admitted some information, and the minister Rong reported it in detail."

Listening to Xu Xun's statement, Zhu Houzhao, who was originally full of anger, was first shocked, then unbelievable, and finally fell silent. He grabbed the corner of the sacking clothes on the ground desperately, and even trembled slightly. His eyes were not as painful and sad as if his soul had been pulled away from his body at once.

"How could this be...How could this be...He is still a demon hero. I want to thank him if I say so..."

Xu Xun knew that Zhang Yu dared to say this, and he must have some support. Perhaps even Queen Zhang remembered this merit in her heart, so he really couldn't hide it from Zhu Houzhao. However, at this moment, seeing the little prince who had just lost her father, he felt so sad that he couldn't bear it. He finally couldn't help it anymore, so he squatted behind Zhu Houzhao and put one hand on his shoulder.

"Your Highness must have heard a saying that more is icing on the cake and less is timely help. When the Empress gave birth to His Highness, everyone was happy. Everyone wanted to take credit for such a beautiful thing. But later, the Empress was pregnant twice, but the Little Princess and the Little Princess died unfortunately. Why didn't Liu Wentai say that this was his work?

Before, the emperor was not a serious illness that was violent, but it became like this in his hands. He cleverly said that he pushed the pill on some pills. It should be noted that the pill was found by him. Even if the emperor did take it for a long time and accumulated fire poison, it was also the culprit who offered things and instigated the emperor to take it. Moreover, I, who don’t know medicine, know that taking pills will accumulate fire poison. The symptoms are different from wind and cold. How could he, a doctor who has accumulated a lot of years, not knowing that those fever tonics cannot be prescribed under such circumstances?"

Zhu Houzhao just listened in a daze at first, and finally suddenly grabbed Xu Xun's hand, as if he had grabbed the last straw, and nodded repeatedly, "Xu Xun, you are right! They said that I was confused by them. Those hateful bastards only know how to take credit and shirke the responsibility, which is clearly a clever word! Alas, the father is actually for my own good. I would have a smart brother like you... I won't talk anymore, Xu Xun, mother, please talk with me!"

ps: There is a fact that from Ming Dynasty records to Wanliye editing to various other unofficial histories.

Emperor Hongzhi died inexplicably at the age of 36. A group of officials clamored to kill the quack doctors, but the orphan and widowed mothers left by Empress Zhang Zhengde, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, the cabinet ministers who had a deep affection for Emperor Hongzhi, seemed not so enthusiastic about the criminal imperial physician who avenged Hongzhi...
