Chapter 666: Records of Southern Quacks After putting the fishing rod away, Jiang Qingzhi closed his eyes and felt Uncle Ding in his mind. Deep in the mottled copper green, the purple remained. The slowly rotating cauldron seemed to have a halo, which reminded Jiang Qingzhi of gods. "Master Ding, are you possessed by a spirit?" "The master hidden in the ring in the novel?" "Do you have any peerless magical skills?" Jiang Qingzhi teased Uncle Ding for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a curious face. "Old Tang?" Tang Shunzhi looked at him carefully. "Everyone in the city is looking for you, but you are here fishing leisurely. Tsk! This demeanor is worthy of a famous general." Jiang Qingzhi chuckled and took out the wine and food he brought with him, "It's boring to drink alone, come on."
"Then I'd be honored to refuse." Tang Shunzhi sat down, and the two of them drank while talking about the situation in the north. "The weather in the north is relatively good this year, so Altan has more confidence to send troops. What a pity! If we can delay for two years, giving the Ming Dynasty time to reorganize its troops in the nine borders, the Ming Dynasty will surely win this battle." Tang Shunzhi took a sip of wine. "Last time I went to the Nine Borders, except for Datong and other places that directly faced Altan Khan, most of them were slack. To be honest, if Altan Khan is willing to take a detour and launch a surprise attack from other places, I think... Daming will be in trouble." "Many years have passed since the Battle of Tumu, and the Ming Dynasty is once again in a state of peace and prosperity," said Jiang Qingzhi. “That’s why you said to look outward.” "Going abroad is not just to seize territory and resources, but also to keep the Ming Dynasty motivated." Jiang Qingzhi said: "Weapons are not sharp if they are not sharpened, and warriors do not fight. They will be useless in less than 20 years." "Let's put this matter aside for now. I heard that a prince is in trouble now." Tang Shunzhi said, "This matter can be big or small. Especially at this juncture." Jiang Qingzhi nodded, and suddenly raised the pole, "Got it!" When Jiang Qingzhi returned with a full load of more than ten fish, the brothers Prince Yu and Prince Jing looked at each other in silence. Huang Jian and Yang Xi were guarding the door outside, and they looked at each other. After an unknown amount of time, Prince Yu sighed, "Don't worry!" King Jing looked up. "Don't meddle in other people's business!" Prince Yu smiled, stood up and left. King Jing walked out and asked, "Is the outside world in turmoil now?" "Yes." Huang Jian said, "Everyone says that His Highness is... cruel." "There were many people who supported me before, but I know that most of them were trying to sow discord between me and my third brother, hoping that my father would suffer. But now everyone wants me to be killed, which shows that people's hearts are unpredictable." "Your Highness, Prince Yu..." Huang Jian hesitated for a moment, "This matter is good for Prince Yu. I'm afraid he came here today just to put on a show." King Jing remained silent. That evening, when Jiang Qingzhi was eating fish with Li Tian at home, Zhu Xizhong sent someone to deliver a message.
"His Royal Highness Prince Yu said that he had been feeling unwell since last year. His Royal Highness Prince Jing studied medicine and upon hearing the news, he wanted to treat him." Jiang Qingzhi felt that the fish was no longer fragrant, and said to Li Tian: "My wife." "Husband." Jiang Qingzhi made sour soup fish today, and Li Tian was very happy while eating it. At this moment, she covered her mouth, burped carefully, and then smiled sweetly. Although she was a little fatter than before pregnancy, in Jiang Qingzhi's eyes, she was still his wife. "Let's have another son!" "Didn't my husband say to just go with the flow?" Li Tian wondered. "Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight in battle." Jiang Qingzhi refused to admit that he was jealous of the brotherhood between Prince Yu and Prince Jing. "Besides, when I have earned such a large fortune, someone has to inherit it. One is not too few, two is not too many, and three is just right. If there are five or six, I will ask His Majesty to write a calligraphy for you." "What words?" The Taoist had never written anything for a woman, so Li Tian couldn't help but be moved. What a vain woman! Jiang Qingzhi sighed: "Heroic mother!" Prince Yu's words reached Prince Jing. Huang Jian was overjoyed, "Your Highness, I have a legitimate reason to be a disciple." King Jing studied medicine. When he learned that his brother was ill, he racked his brains to think of a treatment method for him. what is this? Dear brothers and sisters! With this title, King Jing's killing of a man while experimenting with drugs was given a cloak of righteousness. But this will also bring trouble to Prince Yu's reputation. King Jing was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled, "Huang Jian." "Your Highness!" Huang Jian smiled happily. "Go tell my third brother that I am the only one who has suffered such misfortune. What will our father do if he defiles himself like this?" …… "Two little bastards!" After receiving the report, Emperor Jiajing seemed a little annoyed and immediately went to the harem. "Your Majesty!" Concubine Lu Jing also got the news and was sighing about something... Men are indeed something that women cannot understand. Facing such a good situation, the third brother would not say that he was adding insult to injury! No one could say anything if they stood by and watched. "He actually defiled himself to save the fourth child." Concubine Lu Jing smiled bitterly, "I really didn't expect it." "People say that there is no family affection in the royal family. Back then, my mother and I supported each other in the palace, which was quite difficult. At that time, I wondered if my wife and my children could do the same in the future." Emperor Jiajing looked at Concubine Lu, the candlelight flickered, and he suddenly smiled, "Several empresses have been quite distant from me, husband and wife are not of the same mind, then what about father and son? I am watching..." Concubine Lu's eyes were gentle, "They are all good children." "He's a good kid." Emperor Jiajing nodded. "The third child may seem dull, but his actions this time left people speechless. Do you know what the outside world thinks?"
"How would I know?" Concubine Lu Jing said angrily. "Those people said that this must be my order." Emperor Jiajing smiled and said, "They all say that I favor my youngest son. At this moment, it is the right time to let the third son take the blame." If so, are you really willing to... Concubine Lu's heart trembled. Emperor Jiajing looked at her, as if he knew what she was thinking. "No matter who they are, they are all my children. As long as I am alive, I will protect them!" This is a warning, but also a consolation... Don't worry, fourth brother. As a father, I will not sit idly by. Concubine Lu felt a little empty in her heart, but she immediately laughed at herself, "I really hoped that Your Majesty would say that just now. Now that I think about it, it's really selfish." "Parents are always like this." Emperor Jiajing patted the back of Concubine Lu's hand, "I don't blame you." Concubine Lu's cheeks flushed slightly, "Five days is too short, as for Long Wilbur..." "I am watching." Emperor Jiajing said, "I cannot do anything about this matter, otherwise the outside world will say that I want to cover it up. Qingzhi, on the other hand, has no scruples. He asked the Yanqi for assistance, and I agreed. Don't use a person you doubt, and just wait for the result." As for Jiang Qingzhi going fishing…Emperor Jiajing stood up, “Huang Ban.” "Your Majesty." Huang Jin stepped forward. "I heard that he caught a lot of fish and paraded through the streets?" "Yes." Huang Jin said, "Chang Wei Bo took the fish and went up to everyone he knew to get close to them. He would not stop until the person praised his fishing skills. He even took a long detour to get home for this purpose." "I haven't eaten fish for a long time." Fish produces fire, meat produces phlegm. I have been suffering from heat recently, so I don’t eat fish. When Concubine Lu Jing knew about this, she was wondering, and then she saw Huang Jin raised his eyebrows and stood up straight, like a general about to go to war, "I will go to Xin'an Lane to confiscate some fish tomorrow." Concubine Lu: “…” Emperor Jiajing walked outside the palace and said with a smile: "The boy has the spirit of a great general, I will help him." The next morning, Huang Jin led his men into the Bo's residence and sneered as the cook trembled, "It's all confiscated." Several eunuchs took nets and caught all the big fish in the pond. They then met Jiang Qingzhi who had come out after hearing the news. "We are just following orders." Huang Jin looked very businesslike. "Don't do this to me." Jiang Qingzhi asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the ministers for doing this?" Huang Jin coughed dryly. "His Majesty said that I have the qualities of a great general, so I will lend you a hand." But I really like fishing! Jiang Qingzhi looked puzzled, and Huang Jin asked, "Aren't you fishing just to pretend to be calm?" "Even if I want to pretend to be calm, I will only stay at home with my wife." Jiang Qingzhi was angry, "Put that one down!" That red carp was a good catch by Jiang Qingzhi. Huang Jin coughed dryly, "Prince Jing's matter is more important, let's put fishing aside for now." "I told you it's not a big deal." Jiang Qingzhi sighed, "Why doesn't anyone believe it?" Huang Jin returned with a full load, and the Western chief consultant who had been out for a walk came back to see the host. But Jiang Qingzhi was not available, so Huang Yaner came back to tell him.
"Xiaobo said that it has spread everywhere, saying that more than a day has passed since the fifth day, but the general is still calm and composed. This general's demeanor is impressive." Huang Yan'er was very happy and proud of it. Li Tian smiled and said, "Then my husband, why don't you stay at home and rest for a few more days?" She was joking, but Jiang Qingzhi said seriously: "That's exactly what I meant." In the following days, Jiang Qingzhi actually stayed at home with his wife, tinkering with something in the study, or listening to music in the forbidden area. On the morning of the fifth day, the Dali Temple official faced the Taoist's gaze and said, "Your Majesty, should the Dali Temple intervene in the matter of Prince Jing?" The ministers looked at Emperor Jiajing, many with playful eyes, and many with worried expressions. But the Taoist looked calm, as if he didn't notice anything. Just then, Zhang Tong came in. "Your Majesty, Chang Wei Bo has entered the palace." coming! This guy is coming! Zhu Xizhong said calmly, "Hasn't the fifth day passed yet? Why are you in such a hurry?" The Dali Temple officials returned to work in embarrassment, but everyone knew that the critical moment had come. Was King Jing completely deposed, and Jiang Qingzhi dragged into the water along with him? Or was King Jing turning over a new leaf... Huang Jin came to King Jing's place. Chen Yan is here. Yang Xi was also sent by Prince Yu to gather information. Jiang Qingzhi stood outside the hall and said to Huang Jin: "The hall looks tall and majestic, but I always feel depressed." He had this feeling in his previous life when he was visiting tourist attractions. "Speak of business." Huang Jin whispered, "The officials will certainly keep an eye on you today." "Relax!" Jiang Qingzhi smiled, then his face turned cold, "Bring Chen Ting here." Chen Ting had been detained in the palace. After being brought here, he looked quite calm. "Hello, Uncle." Chen Ting bowed calmly. "I have known since the first day that you are involved in this matter." When Jiang Qingzhi opened his mouth, even Huang Jin was a little surprised. Chen Ting was surprised and asked: "Why do you say that, sir? I am in Jiangnan..." "Don't mention Jiangnan." Jiang Qingzhi interrupted him rudely, "Do you know why?" Jiang Qingzhi pointed to the south with the medicine smoke, "My uncle was weak at that time. In order to treat my uncle's illness, my grandfather asked people to search for famous doctors everywhere. But in the end, he could not be cured. My grandfather was angry, so he compiled a booklet called... Records of Quacks in the South."
In his later years, Ye Xuan spent his days drinking and cursing, and he cursed the so-called famous doctors and miracle doctors listed in the Southern Quacks' Record the most. "You dare to call yourself a miracle doctor if you can't even be on the Southern Register of Quackery?" Jiang Qingzhi smiled and said, "I've listened to them for a few years and I know those names by heart. Chen Ting... the miracle doctor of Jiangnan. I want to ask, where did you get the title of miracle doctor?" Chen Ting's expression remained unchanged. Jiang Qingzhi said slowly, "I haven't asked King Jing, but I can assert that the one who recommended you to him must be a member of the Lu family. Is that right?" In an instant, Huang Jin saw Chen Ting's expression change drastically. But King Jing was stunned, and then he suddenly realized. "You may be curious, since I know there is something wrong with you, why don't I interrogate you?" Jiang Qingzhi sighed, "It's because I want to know who is behind this!" At this time, several eunuchs came, and the leader was Yan San. A guard was tied up and staggered behind. Meet this person. Chen Ting looked grim. (End of this chapter)
