Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 37: Secret discussion at the stall, doctors go up the mountain

While the doctors were discussing the test questions, Dongchang was planning to arrest people.

Since the Lantern Festival, Dongchang Fanzi has been searching all over the city. After more than half a month of investigation, more and more clues have pointed out that it is closely related to the Ministry of War.

And as Xu Chunfu asked to see the Queen Mother, Dongchang Fanzi's attention was attracted to the Imperial Hospital and Yiyi Hall. After several days of exploration, Zhang Jiebin was finally targeted.

At this time, the admiral of Dongchang was Feng Bao, and his full official title was: Imperial Commissioner, Governor of Dongchang Official School, and in charge of the Imperial Service, Ceremony, Eunuch.

Feng Bao is a strange man. He loves power but not power. He is educated and tasteful. Compared with other eunuchs, he can be regarded as an upright person. His contribution to Chinese history is comparable to that of Zheng He.

As the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremony, and also in charge of the Dongchang Jinyiwei, he should have had all the power and tyranny. But Feng Bao did not. Instead, he supported Zhang Juzheng's reforms and only did his own thing. And his biggest hobby

That is, love of money.

Feng Bao rarely did any bad things, let alone used his power for personal gain. But he cannot represent all eunuchs.

Although he is the admiral of Dongchang, there are still forces below him that he cannot control, such as the emperor and the empress's cronies.

Hong Yubao, a Jinyi Guardsman, was selected into Dongchang as a fan, and was sent to Prince Lu's Mansion to work. He was appreciated by Prince Lu and promoted to a stall. Now he works exclusively for Prince Lu.

In addition to the admiral eunuchs, the other members of Dongchang are selected from Jinyiwei.

The subordinate officials of Dongchang include one person in charge of punishment for thousands households and one person for each hundred households. They are served by Jinyiwei Qianhu and Baihu, who are called post punishment officials.

In addition, there are more than 40 supervisors, foremen, and housekeepers, who are allocated by the Jinyiwei and divided into twelve groups, Zichou Yinmao. The stewards wear round hats, soap boots, and brown shirts. The rest of the people wear boots and hats.

Same, but wear straight.

The ones responsible for the specific investigation work are the sergeant and the sergeant. The sergeant is equivalent to the squad leader, also called the "stall". There are more than a hundred people in total, and there are twelve ugly men. They all wear pointed hats and white leather boots.

Wear brown clothes and tie a small sash. The captains each command several subordinates, who are also called "fans" and "officers". These people are also composed of elite members selected from the Jinyiwei.

Of these more than one hundred gears, Feng Bao only mastered eighty or ninety, and the rest followed the instructions rather than the announcements.

As a celebrity in Prince Lu's palace, Hong Bao was meeting with more than a dozen stall owners, all of whom were Xiaoqi from the Imperial Guard who had followed the path of the Queen Mother.

Because King Lu was angry, everyone followed Hong Xibao and struggled for more than twenty days, and finally got the exact news.

"Brothers, I won't say anything else. As far as I know, that kid has disappeared. The clerk from Yiyitang said he has been gone for several days and that he left at night. It happened to be the night before the dog doctor entered the palace. Ruohe

It doesn't matter to him, even if I beat him to death, I wouldn't believe him."

Hong Xibao said bitterly that in order to find the culprit, he did not have a good rest for countless days and nights, and even had him scolded by King Lu.

"Please tell me clearly what you are going to do if you want me to wait. If you say a word, I will go up to the sword and go down into the sea of ​​​​fire!" Another stall said, and everyone else also agreed.

"There are twelve of us here, plus our subordinates, there are sixty or seventy people. Now the credit is in front of you, it depends on whether you dare to follow me or not." Hong Xibao said.

"Why don't you dare?" all the stall owners said in unison.

"Oh? It seems that I underestimated you. You even broke into the Ministry of War prison without a frown." Hong Xibao chuckled.

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed dramatically. Although Dongchang had the responsibility of supervising all officials, he did not have the right to arrest people at will, let alone break into the Ministry of War prison.

"I'm afraid this is not good?"

"I heard that the Ministry of War has become very ruthless. Last year they even beat up the supervisors, but in the end they just detained the people."

"Yes, my buddies in Ji Town have all told me that the Ministry of War forcefully protected them. My dear, how dare we offend such a tyrannical person?"

Hong Xibao smiled when he heard this: "That is just a powerless little eunuch. How can he compare with us? Who is our backstage? What are you afraid of? As long as you do good things for your master, nothing else matters."

After hearing what he said, everyone felt a little more confident, but they were still wary of breaking into the military prison.

Hong Xunbao did not show off, and said directly: "I am not a reckless person. To tell you the truth, I have asked King Lu for instructions and received the order. Also, you can listen here..."

After hearing what Hong Xibao said, everyone was immediately overjoyed and started gearing up.

"Okay, let's all go back and gather our brothers to meet at Qingfang Street at three o'clock." As Hong Xibao said, everyone dispersed.

At this moment in Yiyi Hall, all the doctors have already written down the questions.

Xu Chunfu looked at the thirty-six-point test questions and said with great satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work. I will treat you all to a banquet at noon!"

"Haha, if you don't invite who will?" Gong Tingxian laughed.

"Who doesn't know that you, Xu Ruyuan, are the richest among doctors? If we don't kill you, then wouldn't it be a huge loss for us to sacrifice this rare holiday?" Yang Jishi also said with a smile.

Xu Chunfu also laughed. They are the same age, only a few years apart, and their relationship has always been good.

Tang Xianzu said: "Why don't we just have something to eat at the teahouse opposite? We can also listen to the show and drink tea."

Xu Chunfu laughed and scolded: "You can't live without Zhan's Tea House, right? Haven't you learned enough lessons from the past few times?"

"I've prepared wine in advance this time. If you have any other dishes you want to eat, I can order them too! The place is spacious, there are performances to listen to, and tea to drink. Isn't it better than a restaurant?" Tang Xianzu said plausibly.

Tao.

"Whether it's good or not, I don't have to say, let everyone decide!" Xu Chunfu shook his head and said to everyone.

Tang Xianzu looked at everyone expectantly, and Gong Tingxian said: "I love going to the theater. I still had the idea before that I would go to the teahouse opposite."

Yang Jishi laughed and said: "You are a typical example of helping your relatives but not taking care of yourself!"

"I, a Fuzhou person, are famous for loving theater. You should also educate us." Gong Tingxian said proudly.

"I'm just different from you." Yang Jishi chuckled, but he didn't expect the conversation to change: "I'm a caregiver, not a bride. I can watch a show while eating, so why not? I support you Yi Yi."

Tang Xianzu was delighted when he heard this. He thought he was going to object, but he didn't expect it to happen. But with the unequivocal support of these two people.

Everyone agreed, which shows the high prestige of the two of them in Taiyuan Hospital.

Having decided, everyone headed towards Zhan's Tea House across the street. Tang Xianzu, Zhang Shoufeng and Chen Shigong, being the youngest present, took the initiative to buy wine and cooked food.

After having enough wine and food, Xu Chunfu suggested: "There is still half a day, we might as well go to Miaofeng Mountain to enjoy the spring scenery and pay homage to the King of Medicine, Shennong."
