Chapter 343: Approaching step by step, several parties are playing games
These people are fresh blood promoted and reused by the emperor.
If he wanted to weaken the power of the aristocracy, he had to make use of people from poor families or knowledgeable people who had no family background at all.
But this also has disadvantages.
These people are in conflict with the noble families and are hostile to each other. Some of them even hate these powerful noble families. They will not do exactly what the emperor hopes, that is, to be smooth and at ease.
Just like the *** incident, they exposed their upright yet stupid side.
The emperor flipped through several memorials, all of which were related to ***, and the evidence had been collected.
It seemed that he would not stop until he dealt with ***.
A conflict arose in his heart.
Can these people really become a good knife to kill the powerful as he thinks?
Will this knife hang over the heads of the royal family one day?
However, he has already taken the first step. Turning back now will only make those powerful people secretly proud and laugh at him!
"Your Majesty, *** requests to see you." Chao Sihai hurried towards the imperial study.
"Replying to the emperor, I don't have time to see her now." As soon as the emperor refused, the emperor rushed in.
"Your Majesty." *** saluted in the direction of the emperor.
"You are excused, my sister." Seeing that he could not avoid it, the emperor had to face it, "My sister, please take a seat."
"Your Majesty, I have heard about what happened in the court. In order not to embarrass Your Majesty, I have asked Jishiditang to conduct free clinics in the past few days and boil medicine for the people to take for free, so that those who are sick can have medicine to treat. However, Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an are deliberately targeting me, and I must not let them succeed!"
"What does my sister want me to do?" the emperor asked.
"We have confiscated their medicinal materials and are not allowing them to provide free medical services any more!"
"This matter is no longer just a matter of ordinary competition for profit, it also involves the court." The emperor's tone was very embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, are you referring to those who impeached me in the court? Since when did a dog at home dare to bark at its owner, or even bite it?" A sarcastic smile flashed across ***'s face, and he didn't take the matter to heart at all.
"Sister, please go back first. I will handle this matter myself."
"What about the matter of sealing up the medicinal materials in the Medicine King Hall..."
"I said, I will handle it myself!"
Seeing that the emperor was already angry, *** did not dare to press him too hard and had to leave first.
"Your Majesty, you have been busy all day. Do you want to go to the harem to rest for a while?" Chao Sihai asked closely.
"Prepare the sedan chair." The emperor uttered these two words softly.
"Your Majesty, are you going to Concubine Yue, or are you going to summon the new concubine to the palace?"
"To the Queen's Palace."
"Yes."
……
The news that the emperor had gone to the queen's palace reached *** in no time.
It seems that Ji Qingyuan can't help much and can't persuade anyone.
"***, what should we do?" the nanny asked in a low voice.
"First, do as I say. Inform Jishiditang to start free clinics and distribute free decoctions. Then those people won't flock to Yaowang Palace. It will also stop the mouths of those biting dogs! I will deal with that bitch Ji Chuhe later!"
"Yes, I will arrange it right away!"
……
Wuyang Marquis Mansion.
Marquis Wuyang and Xiao Yan'an sat facing each other, while Ji Chuhe sat beside them and made tea by herself.
"Teacher, have some tea." Ji Chuhe brought a cup to Marquis Wuyang and also brought a cup to Xiao Yan'an.
Xiao Yan'an immediately took the tea and took a sip.
The scented tea that Madam brews is truly delicious and you can’t drink it at any time.
"Jishidiang has also opened a free clinic and provided free herbal medicine. The Japanese have begun to fight back, and the emperor has not yet expressed his attitude. I'm afraid that in the end, this matter will be dragged on and nothing will be done." Marquis Wuyang was not optimistic.
"Teacher, this matter will not be left unresolved." Ji Chuhe's attitude was firm.
"The power that the Luo family used to control has been eroded. Recently, the emperor has been making plans to severely punish the children of the powerful and wealthy in the court if they make any mistakes. Didn't the emperor also promote some newcomers without family backgrounds? He also gave them some important positions, hoping that these newcomers would compete with the powerful and wealthy."
"Now that we have taken the first step, there is no reason to go back."
After listening to Ji Chuhe's analysis, Marquis Wuyang felt that it made some sense.
"The emperor has not expressed a clear attitude yet. Maybe he is waiting." Ji Chuhe continued.
"The emperor neither closed down the Medicine King Hall nor allowed you to continue the free clinic. The *** also opened a free clinic. The emperor wanted to see which of the two sides was more popular among the people. He will make a decision after the result comes out." Marquis Wuyang also reacted.
"That's right." Ji Chuhe nodded.
Marquis Wuyang once again looked at Ji Chuhe with admiration.
Although he also contributed to this matter, the specific plan was all thought up by Xiaohe alone.
Especially the matter of *** putting the blame on others, it really opened his eyes, it was resolved so easily!
"Teacher, if I win, next I plan to open a clinic, and I will dabble in many more industries. The prince and I are having a hard time in the imperial capital. Since we can't have the power to protect ourselves, then making a lot of money can also be a means of self-protection." Ji Chuhe told him his next plan.
"I agree with your idea." Wuyang Hou felt distressed. His little disciple really had a hard time. "Xiaohe, if you encounter any difficulties, you must come to me. You are not helpless."
"I understand, teacher." Ji Chuhe nodded solemnly.
……
After Jishidiang provided free medical consultations and prepared free herbal medicine, the situation did not turn around as *** had expected.
There are still very few people coming to Jishidiang.
This situation has never happened since Jishidiang opened.
Over at the Medicine King Hall, however, it was getting busier and busier day by day. People would rather queue up and wait for a whole day without any complaints.
Those who have been cured even go to help every day, creating a peaceful scene.
***I don’t know how many precious porcelains I broke, but I still couldn’t get rid of my anger.
"This bunch of lowly people are only fit to eat those wild herbs from Huaiyang! There are two doctors in my Jishitang whose medical skills are comparable to those of great doctors. Is their money wasted in vain?"
"Please calm down, this matter will soon be over. In the past few days, you have provided free medical treatment and made free medicine. Many ministers in the court have already spoken up for the princess. The emperor will definitely not punish you like those barking dogs did to impeach you."
"I'm not afraid of those dogs! I'm worried about Ji Chuhe!"
"Don't worry about this, sir. This wave of colds will soon be over. Those people will eventually get better. They can't stay sick forever. What are they going to do in the Medicine King Palace after they recover? Ji Chuhe won't have much room to play. Let her be in the limelight for now. Anyway, she will pay you back double in the future."
"I have never suffered such a loss since I returned to the imperial capital! This is simply a slap in my face! I will never let Ji Chuhe go!"
"Damn, something bad has happened!" A voice suddenly came.
*** frowned, "What happened again?"
"Ji Chuhe bought a few shops and is going to open a medicine shop in the imperial capital!"
