Chapter 9 Zhao Heng's Mind

Chen Lin walked through the majestic palaces and quietly arrived at Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Looking at Zhao Heng on the bed, Chen Lin couldn't help but feel sad. He was an old follower of the official family and had been with him since he ascended the throne. Now seeing Zhao Heng lying weakly on the bed, she couldn't help but feel sad.

He waved away the maid serving Zhao Heng and walked gently to the bed.

Feeling someone fanning himself, Zhao Heng opened his eyes: "Is Chen Lin here?"

"The officials have really good eyesight, they are just old slaves."

Chen Lin spoke in a low voice. He knew that his voice was unpleasant and deliberately lowered his volume.

Zhao Heng smiled weakly and said: "You're an old guy who knows how to talk sweet things! I'm feeling better. Yi'er is right. I'm sick. I'll send the imperial doctor here."

Chen Lin's eyes lit up and she turned to Chen Tong at the door and said, "Didn't you hear me? Call the imperial doctor!"

He was so happy. In the past, the officials were very resistant to imperial doctors. They always believed that Taoist elixirs could help him recover and refused to treat his illness. No matter whether it was the minister's advice or the empress's sincere words, it was of no use.

Unexpectedly, the prince came several times and said that the official should be seen by the imperial doctor when he was sick. The official was silent at first and now he agreed. This is really a heart-to-heart connection between father and son!

While waiting for the imperial doctor, Zhao Heng took a few deep breaths: "Chen Lin, do you think this child Yi'er is my great Song Xiangrui?!"

Chen Lin was startled at first, then pondered for a moment and said: "I am an ordinary person, not even a man, how can I know this."

Seeing Zhao Heng closing his eyes slightly, Chen Lin said doubtfully: "However, I have recently discovered many things that are different about the prince."

Zhao Heng raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his sore nose and said, "What's unusual?"

"The old slave feels that the prince has changed. He seems to have matured a lot overnight. He doesn't look childish at all in his words and deeds. He looks young and mature."

Zhao Heng smiled and said: "What does this mean? I...forget it, I won't talk about it."

Zhao Heng didn't want to talk about his son's outstanding performance. In the past few days, he used the time when Zhao Zhen came to visit to test his son, whether it was in terms of mentality, understanding of Confucian classics, or understanding of the political situation in the court.

view.

Zhao Zhen's answers surprised him again and again. He didn't want anyone to know about it, so he dismissed the palace officials every time and took the exam alone.

Every answer is quite satisfactory, and there is no lack of personal opinions in it. Although it is naive, it can be on the right track with a little training. In fact, the seemingly naive opinions are not the problem. The most important thing is that he already has the ability to think independently.

Knowledge needs to be accumulated, but it is extremely difficult to think about the principles of life and doing things without books, let alone an eight-year-old child.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that such an understanding is a gift, so Zhao Heng has been in a particularly good mood recently.

Chen Lin looked at the smiling official and didn't know why he gave such a mysterious smile.

The doctor came, and a large group of people came in with different small boxes, and the bottles and cans in the boxes jingled.

The foreign ministers really paid attention to the official's illness. Zhao Heng's health had previously caused panic among the officials. Everyone knew that the prince was still young and if there was a problem in the official family, the queen mother would definitely exercise the power of supervising the country.

Since Taizong, it has become impossible for "brothers to follow each other", but the prince is still young, and it will be troublesome if someone finds out Taizong's story and uses it as an excuse, so it is inevitable for the queen mother to supervise the country.

But now the official admits that he is sick and wants to see an imperial doctor. This gives the officials hope that as long as the official can receive treatment, he may be able to live for a few more years.

When the official family was seriously ill a few years ago, the imperial doctors quietly looked at it and most of them said it was caused by wind and cold. Only the imperial doctor Hu Yuan based on the facts said that it was caused by elixirs. Later, the official family did not like it and was dismissed by good deeds.

They were pushed to the Tibetan Medicine Bureau.

The Medical Officials Academy was under the jurisdiction of the Hanlin Academy and was classified among the civil servants. Therefore, many dynasties also knew about it. Because Zhao Heng admired Taoism and liked the art of golden elixir, most of the imperial doctors did not dare to talk about the illnesses of the officials.

.

Seeing their submissive looks, Chen Lin cursed angrily, while Zhao Heng shook his hand and said, "Hu Yuan, come and show me."

But no one came forward for a long time. Zhao Heng asked strangely: "Where is Hu Yuan?"

Someone among the imperial doctors said in panic: "Hu Yuan was demoted to the Crown Prince in charge of the Tibetan Medicine Bureau."

"The officials will be waiting later. I will invite the imperial doctor Hu here!" Chen Lin snorted at the group of imperial doctors and walked away.

The doctors quickly retreated. How could they not see what kind of disease Zhao Heng had? It was obvious that he was poisoned!

Hu Yuan felt very comfortable now. To be precise, he felt very comfortable after being complimented by the prince. Looking at the prince's pure eyes, he even felt a little embarrassed.

"Hu Yuyi, your medical skills are so good that you can also see the symptoms of my father. I have already told my father that he will actively cooperate with you!" As soon as Zhao Zhen spoke, Hu Yuan's face turned dark.

It's not because he hates Zhao Heng, but it's too late to go see him now! Hu Yuan is not only excellent in medical skills, but even more powerful in toxicology.

At that time, he had already figured out that the pill Zhao Heng took must contain metal, and every doctor knew that metal was poisonous.

If Zhao Heng had followed his prescription, he would still have been saved, but after so long, the toxins have accumulated in his body, and even if Daluo Jinxian came to earth, he would not be able to save him!

Looking at the filial prince in front of him, Hu Yuan sighed helplessly and said: "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to save you, but it's too late!"

Zhao Zhen froze for an instant. He heard about the previous events from Chen Lin and thought that Hu Yuan could remove the metal toxins from his cheap father's weight, thus avoiding Zhao Heng's death four years later and his competition with Liu E's rights. Now

It seems that this plan is impossible to complete.

As the wheel of history rolls forward, Zhao Zhen begins to wonder if everything is fixed and cannot be changed?

Will Zhao Heng pass away in four years? Everything must proceed according to history?

At this moment, Chen Lin appeared in the Tibetan Medicine Hospital, looking at Zhao Zhen with a flash of surprise in her eyes: "Why is His Royal Highness here? Is he slightly ill?"

Zhao Zhen lowered his head and said in a bad mood: "Gu Wuxin, I just heard you say that Dr. Hu once told the emperor about my father's condition. He must have a solution, but Dr. Hu said it was too late..."

"Hu Yuan~! You have the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard? How dare you talk nonsense in front of the prince?!"

Hu Yuan's expression changed drastically. He had been treating Zhao Zhen as a child, but now he was suddenly scolded by Chen Lin. Only then did he remember that saying such words in front of the prince was indeed asking for death!

Zhao Zhen was already in a bad mood. Seeing that Chen Lin wanted to blame Hu Yuan, he got angry and said, "Why are you angry at him?! Gu forced him to say it. As the son of his father, does Gu not have the right to know?"

Chen Lin felt a little aggrieved: "In that case, Hu Yuan, the officials have called you to go to Gyeongbokgung Palace."

Hu Yuan quickly saluted Zhao Zhen: "Your Highness, I take my leave." He ran towards the forbidden area at a trot, and Chen Lin quickly caught up with him.

Zhao Zhen looked ugly. Judging from Hu Yuan's previous description, Cheap Daddy must have been poisoned by heavy metals.

There were basically no effective treatments for this disease in ancient times.

No wonder Zhao Heng has a violent and erratic temper. These are all symptoms of heavy metal poisoning that stimulates the nerves.

Historical records record that in his later years, Zhao Heng often said that Empress Liu had placed him under house arrest, and even talked about it to his officials. When the officials asked the officials to deal with it according to law, he said that there was no such thing. From this, it seems that he was sometimes confused and sometimes sober.

Could it be that his rage in Gyeongbokgung Palace that day was also due to a poisonous attack?
