Chapter 1198 It’s You
Yue Wei's collision immediately broke the situation that had been balanced due to the empress dowager's serious illness.
After him, the censors attacked the King of Yizhou fiercely. Not to mention the emperor, even Wei Zhi knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer.
Several important officials looked at Lord Tang quietly.
Mr. Old Tang: ...It wasn’t me, I didn’t do it!
But no one believes it now, and no one wants to explore this point.
The Queen Mother's condition became more serious. The Emperor and the Queen stayed by her side all night to tend to her. Then, before the court meeting the next day, a palace maid came to report that the Prince of Yizhou, who was temporarily detained in the palace, had escaped with his two sons.
When the emperor heard about this, he was furious and ordered the imperial guards to chase him southwest overnight. The King of Yizhou must go west back to Jiannan Road, which was his base.
When Minister Feng received this news, he couldn't help but glance at his confidant Tao Yi. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Take your men to the Bai family and ask them to stay home for the next few days and not go out."
Although they were just two teenagers, the whole thing started with them, and no one knew whether the King of Yizhou, who had already escaped, would take advantage of the opportunity to kill them.
The King of Yizhou has escaped. He must be planning a rebellion. Even if it is just to establish his authority, he should not let Bai Shan and Zhou Man live.
So there is a huge difference between escaping and not escaping.
As the Minister of Justice, Feng Shangshu never had high expectations of human nature.
Tao Yi took the order and left.
Since he was asked to notify, it must be more than just a simple notification. He must bring some people with him for protection.
Minister Feng looked at his departing back and sighed slightly. How could he let him escape?
Wei Zhi and Old Lord Tang also felt that if the King of Yizhou escaped, he would probably not let go of the Baishan and Zhou Man families, as well as Xiang's family.
So after thinking for a moment, they sent people out, "Find everyone and lock them up in the Bai family's house in Changqing Lane. Tell the Jingzhao Prefecture and ask them to pay more attention to the situation in Changqing Lane."
The subordinates responded and left.
Old Master Tang frowned and said, "I thought it would take at least a while longer, but I didn't expect him to run away so quickly."
Wei knew: "Your subordinate scared people, didn't he?"
Old Master Tang took the opportunity to defend himself, "I didn't ask him to bang his head against the pillar and make a protest."
Wei Zhi believed this, Old Tang was not that kind of person, but...
Wei Zhiqian smiled and said, "He's quite talented. Otherwise, I don't know how we can break this situation."
"Once we find the other hidden troops, the plan will be solved."
Wei Zhi shook his head. "The Queen Mother is seriously ill. No matter how many troops His Majesty finds, he will have to show mercy, unless, as is the case now, she is not in the capital."
Wei Zhi gently dropped the lid on the cup, making a crisp sound, and said meaningfully: "After all, when a general is away from home, he is not bound by the king's orders."
Yin Li is a loyal minister. In his heart, there is only the interests of the emperor, so the choices he makes must be based on the interests of the emperor.
Old Master Tang glanced at Wei Zhi and said nothing.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip. He heard a commotion outside, so he waved to the servants and asked, "What's going on outside?"
The servant bowed and said, "Madam wants to take the young master to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, and is preparing carriages, horses, and guards."
Old Master Tang said casually, "It's neither the first nor the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Why are you thinking of going to worship Buddha today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stiffened and suddenly looked up and asked, "Is today the fifth day of the New Year?"
The servant laughed when he heard this and said, "My Lord, it is the fifth day of the New Year."
Wei Zhi also remembered it instantly, "The fifth day of the tenth month is the birthday of Bodhidharma?"
Old Master Tang sighed, stamping his feet and saying, "I forgot. Because Your Majesty is a Buddhist, the Imperial College is closed on the fifth day of the tenth month every year. Quick, send someone to Xiangguo Temple to find Bai Shan and Zhou Man, and tell them to leave and go home."
And that's impossible.
What the superiors like, the subordinates will like even more.
Nine years ago, the queen was seriously ill. The emperor held religious ceremonies for the queen in various Buddhist temples. In the end, the queen really came back to life, and the emperor became more devoted to Buddhism.
The main temple at that time was Xiangguo Temple. In order to express his piety, the emperor would fast and bathe in the palace on the birthday of Bodhidharma on the fifth day of October every year, and invite eminent monks to the palace to preach Buddhism.
It’s just that the Queen Mother is seriously ill this year and the public is busy, so the eminent monks did not enter the palace this year and no one has the time to care about this.
However, the Imperial College has become accustomed to taking a day off on the fifth day of October every year, and most of the students will go to Xiangguo Temple to join in the fun.
Bai Shan, Zhou Man and others naturally went there as well. They didn't know that the King of Yizhou had escaped early this morning. Even Yin Huo, Feng Zongping and other officials didn't know about it, let alone ordinary people.
So on a sunny morning, a few people called their friends and came to Xiangguo Temple together. The carriage could not enter the street corner at all, so they had to stop far away and walk in.
There were yamen runners maintaining order at the street corner. Bai Shan jumped off the carriage, turned around, helped Manbao, and then called Yin Huo, Feng Zongping and others behind him to walk together.
Daji handed the carriage to Liu Gui and followed behind the few people.
Feng Zongping walked beside Manbao and asked with a smile, "Why do I hear people say you're timid and haven't returned to Jishiditang to take up your position yet? Bai Shan has already gone back to study, so what are you afraid of?"
Manbao said: "I've been sorting out some medical records recently and haven't had time to go back yet."
Bai Shan also nodded, "She is not me. In addition to studying, she also has to learn medicine."
Ji Hao had squeezed in beside them at some point and asked, "I heard you were planning to perform some surgery on the Xiang family assassin. Are you planning to reconnect his hamstrings?"
Manbao was surprised, "Who told you that?"
"Doctor Liu, my grandmother has been feeling unwell recently, so I asked Doctor Liu to come and see her."
Bai Shan said, "It must have been Doctor Zheng who told him."
Manbao then asked Ji Hao, "Would Doctor Liu be interested in operating with me?"
The reason she told Doctor Zheng was because she felt she couldn't perform the operation alone and needed help.
Unfortunately, Dr. Ding, Dr. Tao and others rejected her after thinking about it. Dr. Tao felt that he was good at pediatric diseases and leukorrhea, and bone setting surgery was too challenging for him.
After Dr. Ding looked at her treatment plan, he felt that not only was the cure rate very low, but it might also cause infection and would most likely require amputation, so he refused.
There was no other way, so Manbao found Doctor Zheng through the shopkeeper Zheng, and wanted to ask him to think about it together.
Doctor Zheng has now agreed to her request, but he still feels that having only two of them is not enough, so the two of them decide to continue looking for like-minded doctors, especially those in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
So she didn't mind at all that Doctor Zheng spread the matter to the world.
Ji Hao brought up this matter with the intention of reminding her, but she didn't care at all and became very interested instead, so he didn't say anything for a while.
Feng Zongping turned his head to look at him and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Bai Erlang, pushed several steps behind by the crowd, was furious. He grabbed Yin Huo and forced his way forward. Looking at the crowded streets, he asked, "Why do we have to come here to worship Buddha? Don't we believe in the Lord of Heaven?"
Manbao and Baishan angrily retorted to him, "Didn't you want to come here?"
Even Yin Huo couldn't stand him anymore and shook off his hand, saying, "Yesterday after school, it was you who said you wanted to come and see the Buddhist ceremony and join in the fun."
Bai Erlang was squeezed so hard that he almost doubted his life. He asked, "Is it me?"
The three of them said in unison, very firmly, "It's you!"
See you at 6pm
