Chapter 96                            

Zhou Mengchen said: "There are also guidance from Lord Chen."

Chen Chong said: "The imperial physician has various responsibilities in the palace. One of them is very important, that is, as long as the things that are entered by noble people in the palace must be checked by imperial physicians. In fact, this matter is big or small. After all, there are certain rules in the palace, and there are not so many poisons that can enter the palace. The most important thing is to check all kinds of medicines that are entered by noble people. If there is no problem, it is enough."

Zhou Mengchen felt a little confident and said, "Your Majesty, too?"

Chen Chong said, "Of course, your Majesty is the same. Your Majesty has an imperial physician for twelve hours a day. He takes turns at any time and is also responsible for this matter. Only this errand can make Li Shizhen take the post in front of His Majesty at this time."

Zhou Mengchen had already had a guess in his mind and said, "So what does Dr. Chen think?"

Chen Chong said, "Why do you have to do this by Lord Zhou? I don't think you don't know what else it can be, Jindan."

"These Taoist people who are ignorant of Taoism have never known the way of the king, minister and assistant. They practice a series of drugs that are dry and hot and yang, and they think they are elixirs of immortals, but they don't know that this thing is a medicine for tigers and wolves. Although it is okay to help you in the fun, over time, it will destroy your body and end up hard to return."

Zhou Mengchen said: "Have you not told the imperial physician to His Majesty?"

Chen Chong said: "Xue has never told you why he was not an imperial hospital? That's the matter. The problem is here. The man in the palace wants to eat these things, but these things still have to be passed through the imperial physician. Once there is a problem, do you think the imperial physician examined at that time will end up?"

Zhou Mengchen immediately understood.

It is related to the emperor. Once something happens, it is impossible to say that the emperor must eat it, so it will be fine. At that time, the imperial physician who was examined will finish everything.

Chen Chong sighed and said, "Actually, the dragon body is relatively strong. There is no problem with this tiger and wolf medicine for a while. The imperial physician who was inspecting at that time had no harm as long as he followed His Majesty's thoughts. However, there are no harms now, but it may not be necessary in the future."

"So people in the Imperial Hospital don't want to take on this job. Not to mention, I heard that Your Majesty gave Tao Zhongwen and others tens of thousands of taels of silver to alchemy. Of course, I don't want to get involved."

Zhou Mengchen sighed and said, "My wife and brother-in-law are a straightforward person. Yes, right, no, no, no, no. I think he will never be willing to be able to adapt to this golden elixir."

Chen Chong sighed and said, "You should think of a way to let him stay in the Imperial Hospital. The Imperial Hospital is a cesspool. No matter how good the doctor is in it, he will never see a doctor. As a doctor, he shouldn't think too much about things other than seeing a doctor. But in the Imperial Hospital, it would be nice to have ten percent of his mind to be able to focus on seeing a doctor."

Since Zhou Mengchen figured it out, he said goodbye and said, "I can do it. Today I am rude. I will definitely come to the mansion to apologize in the future. However, I have another unhappy request."

Chen Chong said, "Tell me, for the sake of Old Man Xue, I will help you all the things I can do."

Zhou Mengchen said: "Does Lord Chen know the so-called golden elixir formulas of these Taoists?"

Chen Chong shook his head and said, "I don't know. However, there must be a record in the palace."

After saying this, Zhou Mengchen had a clear idea.

I think it is true that things of unknown origin can easily enter the emperor's mouth. Perhaps some unique craftsmanship of alchemy cannot explain clearly. But what are the raw materials? I think there are archives, otherwise what happens to the emperor?

Also, is Emperor Jiajing really so relieved about these Taoist priests?

Since there is a record, Zhou Mengchen feels that he can find it.

Zhou Mengchen looked up and found another trace of fading away in the dark night. The palace gate was about to open. After Zhou Mengchen saluted, he took his leave.

Zhou Mengchen did not go to the main entrance. Because there are many officials waiting to go to court at the main entrance. Although Emperor Jiajing did not go to court most of the time, he still had to leave the ceremony that should go. They were waiting for just one sentence, and today they were exempted from court.

Of course, important ministers like Xia Yan don’t need to go.

With the creaking and heavy wood moans, the palace gate was slowly opened, and a ray of sunlight hit Zhou Mengchen. Zhou Mengchen entered from the west gate, and it was the closest to Xiyuan from here. Dongsheng's sunlight hit Zhou Mengchen's face directly.

Somewhat dazzling.

Zhou Mengchen covered the sun with his hands. After getting used to it, he found that Tengxiang was already waiting for him.

Tengxiang said, "You are here."

Zhou Mengchen said: "What happened?"

Tengxiang said, "But it's just a little bitchy bone stretching his claws."

Then Teng Xiang told the whole story.

Many things are the same as Zhou Mengchen guessed before, but they are also somewhat different.

Zhou Mengchen ignored one thing, that is the character of Emperor Jiajing.

Although Emperor Jiajing was moody, he was not a foolish monarch. Moreover, when Li Shizhen was transferred to Emperor Jiajing, it was not just the Imperial Hospital that refused to take responsibility. There was a very critical factor that Zhou Mengchen didn't know about, that was, Li Shizhen was one of the few people involved in the dissection.

A dissection of the imperial prison has passed for a long time.

Xue Yi took a long time to digest the results of this time. But just one dissection is not enough. Zhou Mengchen has actually arranged a second dissection in secret. It is just stuck on Xue Yi's side. Xue Yi is extremely serious about the dissection and strives to maximize the use of each dissection.

After all, their utilization rate of corpses these days is naturally not as good as that of later generations. They can’t use them after almost once dissecting them once.

Xue has summarized many questions that need to be answered in the anatomy. It is also this thing that will drag on the next anatomy again and again.

However, the corpse or vital dissection that Emperor Jiajing secretly sent someone to do has never stopped.

However, Emperor Jiajing also faced a problem. It is easy to dissect the body, but how can we answer many questions that Emperor Jiajing wants to understand from the body, such as the meridians, the upper, middle and lower dantian, the triple burner, etc.

These problems were not something that the eunuchs selected by Emperor Jiajing from the palace could do.

It must be the first-class doctor at that time to answer.

Emperor Jiajing naturally wanted to answer these questions. Xue Yi, but Xue Yi's movements were too slow. Jiajing suddenly discovered that Li Shizhen was involved in the anatomy and sometimes asked a few questions. Li Shizhen naturally elaborated on his own point of view in detail, of course, this did not answer all the doubts of Emperor Jiajing. After all, many things Li Shizhen may not be thinking about.

It was also Emperor Jiajing's kindness that made the people below understand the holy intentions, so naturally arranged Li Shizhen by the emperor.

Therefore, even if Li Shizhen did not cooperate in the examination of the golden elixir, Emperor Jiajing might not have dealt with Li Shizhen.

There are other factors involved, which is very complicated.

Part of it is the conflict between the Taoist priests and Zhou Mengchen. According to the so-called truth of Zhou Mengchen seeking immortality and the so-called Taoist priests seeking immortality.

Another part is the counterattack of some eunuchs in the palace against Huang Jin.

Huang Jin used Zhou Mengchen's words in the previous period and fired a lot of fire at the new official, but he didn't know how many people he offended. People naturally had to give some colors in the secret. So, they might not dare to do anything to Huang Jin? After all, Huang Jin was the emperor's Huang Dajiao, and he didn't look at the monks and Buddha's faces.

But for others, it may not be true.

Especially Zhou Mengchen's hatred value was also full.

Not to mention, Zhou Mengchen was on vacation for more than two months, and according to the situation, he would return to the palace in more than ten days. Some people are unwilling to come back again. Therefore, with the linkage between all aspects, Li Shizhen was very stubborn and was caught in his words, so today's events were happening.

He was imprisoned in the name of losing his rituals in front of the emperor.

Tengxiang said: "The charge of the crime of losing etiquette in front of the emperor was determined by his godfather, whether it is big or small. As for whether it is big or small, it depends on how you explain it to the emperor."

Zhou Mengchen took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Can you help me?"
