Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 278: Trivial



But who cares? It’s not me who wants to watch it.

When Ye Shuo arrived at the Imperial Medical Bureau, Yao Zhi was debating something with a group of imperial doctors.

Plague is an extremely complicated issue. It takes a lot of time just to trace the source and analyse the cause, not to mention how to use medicine and prescribe medicine in the future.

These days, the moment Yao Zhi opened her eyes, she would flip through medical books. Even their bedroom was piled with all kinds of medical books. Hard work pays off. The imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau followed the right path, and their medical skills were all inherited from their family. When they collided with Yao Zhi’s “evil ways”, they were able to make some progress in their research.

But it is still in the discussion stage, and there is still a long way to go before we can prescribe medicine.

“Azhi, it’s time to eat.” After their discussion came to a temporary halt, Ye Shuo stood outside and shouted.

“Greetings to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor.”

The imperial doctors were shocked at first, and then hurriedly saluted.

“Everyone, please get up. Thank you for your hard work.” Ye Shuo walked in and raised his hand.

Yao Zhi opened her mouth and wanted to say something at first, but when she saw the disapproval in the young man’s eyes, she couldn’t help but say helplessly: “…Okay.”

Yao Zhi also felt that she seemed to be too crazy recently.

The two walked side by side as usual. Although there were no special movements, they looked extremely harmonious to outsiders.

Even in ordinary families, it was rare for wives to stand shoulder to shoulder with their husbands, let alone in the royal family.

It was the same at the coronation ceremony half a month ago. His Majesty, regardless of the looks of the crowd, insisted on walking down the stone steps, holding hands with the Queen and walking up again. I don’t know how many adults were shocked at the time. If the ceremony could not be interrupted midway, so many people would have rushed up to separate the Emperor and the Queen.

The next day, when the emperor was in court, the censors were so angry that they spit all over the floor. But what was the use?

Of course, the emperor did not punish those people. In fact, his attitude was very good. He admitted his mistakes on the spot, which made the censors very proud, thinking that their spring had finally come. NȰВЁ

That’s right. Throughout history, how many emperors did not cherish their reputation? The censors and imperial censors were a group of people that even the emperors did not dare to offend.

As a result, a few days later, everyone discovered that although the emperor admitted his mistake, he had not changed at all behind the scenes and continued to do things the same way.

When pointed out by the censors, they continued to speak in a nice manner, and kept pointing and recognizing, and then recognizing and pointing again. After all this, several censors almost vomited blood.

The emperor is clearly being a scoundrel, what can a few censors do to him?

Bang your head against the wall and make a last accusation, it’s not worth it, it only makes you look petty, keep talking, it’s useless even if you wear your lips out.

Just when several imperial doctors were sighing in their hearts, after Ye Shuo left, the young eunuch beside him took the initiative to stand up.

The young eunuch was holding a tray covered with a layer of red silk. Just as several imperial doctors were puzzled, the red silk was lifted, revealing some snow-white silver coins inside.

Seeing the doctors stunned, the young eunuch explained softly, “The weather has been hot in recent days. His Majesty wants to thank you all for your hard work. Although this amount of silver is not much, I think it would be good to ask you to make some mung bean soup to cool you down.”

Even if he was the emperor, Ye Shuo wouldn’t ask people to work for nothing, right?

The several doctors in the Imperial Medical Service are considered to be the top people in the medical field of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They are technical talents. No matter how loud the slogans are, they are not as reliable as the practical benefits.

The imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau are also human beings. They cannot survive by living in the open air. They also have a family to support. Although money is a common thing, no one can live without it.

As the young eunuch in front of them said, the money was indeed not much, just about one month’s salary for them, but it gave them hope.

If you work harder, you will naturally reap the benefits.

Seeing this, the young eunuch also added, “The emperor also said that after this plague is over, he will reward you according to your performance. At that time, you will move into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, be given imperial decrees, and be given titles for your wives and children.”

Considering the present state of the Great Zhou, if the plague could be contained, it would not be an exaggeration to move into the Hall of Supreme Harmony and enjoy offerings together with the Ye royal family.

You know, in the past, only some important officials of the court, such as Prime Minister He, could enjoy this kind of honour. When would it be the turn of those imperial physicians like them?

Once they enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it is not important for them to have a good face. What is important is that they can benefit their offspring. How can they not seize such a rare opportunity?

However, the imperial doctors were just getting excited when the young eunuch saw that no one was around and lowered his voice to remind them: “It’s just that this afternoon, I saw that the emperor personally wrote a notice and prepared to send it to the people early tomorrow morning.”

In other words, such rewards are not only for oneself, but also for all the people of the Great Zhou. Anyone who has made a contribution, regardless of their background, will be included in this group.

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. In such a big Zhou, is it possible that we can’t find a few useful people?

As expected, although there are many benefits, they are not free.

The chief judge of the Imperial Hospital calmed down a little, and then asked, “Excuse me, eunuch, does the emperor have anything else to tell you?”

The young eunuch thought for a moment and said, “The emperor also said that the plague is a matter of great importance. We must not falsify information or take credit for other people’s achievements. Otherwise, once discovered, no matter who it is, they will be punished without pardon.”

What belongs to whomever it belongs to, even if the other party is just a nobody.

“I believe that with your abilities, you would not bother to do such a thing. Your starting point is much higher than that of ordinary people, and you have your own abilities. Your Majesty may be worrying too much.”

The imperial doctors remembered again that the current emperor would not mention anything else, but he would definitely not show mercy.

After the conversation, everyone was excited, but also felt cold sweat on their backs.

“Thank you, eunuch. We understand.” The judge calmed himself down and then politely sent the young eunuch out.

When he returned to the room, he found that everyone’s minds were indeed beginning to waver, and the judge couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

It is already difficult for the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau to be promoted, and the opportunities are fleeting. No one knows how many people will make it through this time, and how many will be eliminated. Especially for a judge like himself, it would be embarrassing if he fell behind.

After the judge returned home, he gave the silver to his wife. Seeing that his wife was very happy and was planning to buy some big items for the house, the judge had no choice but to light the oil lamp and continue reading the medical book.

The other side.

Just as Ye Shuo was about to have dinner, he heard the news that Prince Su and Prince Jin had entered the palace.

Recently, his two uncles have been urging him to select concubines every day, and Ye Shuo is getting a headache.  

He is almost busy to death every day, but even so, he is still required to be the seed drill of Da Zhou, and he can’t even have a quiet night. Is there any humanity left?

So when he saw Prince Su and Prince Jin, Ye Shuo didn’t wait for them to speak, but hurriedly assigned a bunch of work to their sons.

Anyway, Ye Shuo is short of manpower recently, so it’s better to take advantage of a free job. Although the two uncles are old, their sons are still young.

“The military camp in the east of the city is under the command of General Wei. There has been no suitable candidate for the west of the city since General Yunhui was executed. If I remember correctly, my uncle also led troops in the past, but he is old now. I am not such a ruthless person. As the saying goes, a tiger father will never have a dog son. So let my cousin take charge. It is also a good opportunity for my cousins ​​to show their skills.”

Compared to the outside world, the military camp is of paramount importance. If the plague spreads in the army, that would be really bad.

Prince Su’s heart suddenly jumped: “This… is such a heavy burden, how can Guang’er bear it?”

Ye Shuo had investigated and found that Prince Su’s sons did have some abilities, but they were just afraid of taking responsibility.

“If he can’t handle it alone, then he can ask a few cousins ​​to go with him, so that they can take care of him.”

Ye Shuo got all of Prince Su’s sons in at once, and then he looked at Prince Jin who was standing beside him: “If I remember correctly, the youngest son of the emperor’s uncle seemed to have caused trouble outside a few days ago. I heard that he beat up the son of some master’s family?”

Prince Jin was a ridiculous person when he was young, and his son followed suit. Now, in front of Ye Shuo, he suddenly lost his composure.

“This… is just a common fight between children. It’s not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning…”

How dare the King of Jin say anything more!

After Ye Shuo left, the two old princes both had bitter faces. Now, not only did they fail in the beauty pageant, but their sons were in trouble.

But what can be done? They are not invulnerable.

“Forget it, forget it. Since His Majesty doesn’t have this idea for the time being, let’s wait a little longer until the plague is over.” Let’s see what excuses he can come up with after the plague is over.

King Jin sighed, “This is all we can do for now.”

When Ye Shuo returned to Chengming Palace, Yao Zhi had been waiting for him for a while.

This was the bad thing about ancient times. If he was not there, the imperial kitchen would not even dare to serve any food.

“I’ll talk to them about it later.” Ye Shuo subconsciously kept this matter in mind.

Yao Zhi couldn’t help but shake her head: “Just wait a little longer, what’s the big deal.”

Seeing that the young man opposite did not mention anything else, Yao Zhi knew that the two old princes had been blocked by him again.

It would be too false to say that I was not moved in my heart.

But soon, Yao Zhi’s attention was attracted by the dishes in front of her.

Ye Shuo seemed to have guessed what she wanted to say, and said, “I’m not used to so many varieties of food for every meal, so I told them to remove some of them.” Otherwise it would be a real waste.

Yao Zhi naturally had no objection to this.

only……

“Even if the two of us try to be frugal, we can’t save much.” But asking the palace maids and eunuchs to be frugal is not very realistic.

“But in fact, if it is normal spending and not so much is pocketed, a lot can still be squeezed out.”

Ye Shuo said this while picking up some food.

Just when Yao Zhi was a little confused about what he meant, she saw Wu Yi suddenly appear. Yao Zhi tensed for a moment, and then she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was him.

Wu Yi never expected that, after he was already in his forties and had finally escaped from the secret guards, he ended up being thrown back in.

There was no way. The previous two generations of emperors died too quickly, and when it was Ye Shuo’s turn, there was even nothing left. Wu Yi could only take on the responsibility of training the secret guards again.

Most of the people in front were dead, and few of them could recognize him. Even if they felt he looked familiar and guessed Wu Yi’s identity, no one dared to say it out loud under the current circumstances.

Wu Yi went back this time not to do anything else but to throw something to the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department.

The thing was very ordinary, just a few ordinary whiskers, but when the eunuch saw it, his face changed drastically.

This beard is only found in his secret room. Now that the masked man in black can find it, it proves that his secret room has been exposed and the things inside are no longer a secret.

The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department naturally knew that the emperor seemed to have found out about him, and he had no power to resist at all. He could only hope that the emperor would spare his life.

However, in just one day, the other party vomited out all he had accumulated over the years, and only then was he able to barely keep his life.

It’s not that Ye Shuo didn’t want to kill him, but if he killed him at this time, others would be scared. Ye Shuo’s goal was only to get the silver they embezzled, so he had to get the silver first.

What was given to the imperial doctors today was confiscated from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The person in charge of the Imperial Household Department now has been replaced by the chief eunuch beside Emperor Taicheng. That eunuch had followed Ye Shuo for a while before Xiao Luzi came back. He vaguely understood the temperament of the current emperor and roughly guessed where his bottom line was.

What’s more, few of the eunuchs in charge of the Imperial Household Department who served as the chief eunuchs of the previous emperor had a good ending when the next emperor ascended the throne. They were able to be transferred to the Imperial Household Department. The eunuchs around Emperor Taicheng were already very self-sufficient, so the Imperial Household Department must have had a long period of peace.

After listening, Ye Shuo nodded with satisfaction: “Well done.”

Just as Wu Yi was about to salute, he heard him say, “That’s great, let’s sit down and eat together.”

Caught off guard, Wu was stunned.
