Chapter 1443 People who want to buy official positions
"It's this kind of ash again. You used it on me before."
"This is a folk remedy. It will work once you apply it."
With Cheng Feng's enthusiastic invitation, the medicine was finally put into Wan Lianxing's mouth.
Cheng Feng placed the remaining medicine on the table and said, "Uncle, if anyone goes to the Prince's Mansion, please help me take the medicine to Cheng Youning."
"Oh, there are only two or three hundred imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital. They don't need your ashes."
"Uncle, please don't look down on this little folk remedy. This is the medicine for your grandson's mouth. He has been using this medicine for his mouth since he was a child. It will be fine after applying it. You won't feel any pain anymore, right?"
Wan Lianxing had to admit that Cheng Feng's little medicine was still effective. The pain was gone after he applied it. "You can keep the medicine. I will send someone to deliver it to the Crown Prince's Mansion later. If you have nothing else, go back. I am busy."
"Uncle, I just got here, and I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter? If it will cause trouble for me, don't tell me."
"When have I ever caused you any trouble? I just want to ask, why was Huang Chenming dismissed from his post? Cheng Youning prefers him."
"Didn't you hear me scolding him last night? If you still don't understand what's going on, go ask him in person. He's waiting outside to see you."
"Uncle, your grandson got into trouble, and it has nothing to do with Huang Chenming. Huang Chenming didn't teach him to be so cunning. To put it bluntly, your grandson is a bastard!"
"Your grandson is the bastard!"
Scolding Cheng Youning in front of Wan Lianxing is equivalent to scolding him in Wan Lianxing's eyes. It would be strange if he wasn't angry!
"Why are you getting more and more angry? Well, I won't offend you here anymore, but uncle, your nephew has to advise you that at your age, you should get angry less, eat more tonic food, and cultivate your mind and character, and meditate to gain enlightenment."
"You might as well let me marry and become a monk!"
"Look, nothing I say is going to work out for you. I really have to go." As he stood up, Cheng Feng patted the things he brought to Wan Lianxing and said, "The ginseng is over six years old, and the chrysanthemums are tribute chrysanthemums, which are specially used to treat excessive internal heat like yours. These are all good things. I'll bring you more after you finish eating them."
Wan Lianxing had already raised the ruler in his hand, pretending to hit him. Cheng Feng quickly ran away, saying before leaving: "Ginseng and chrysanthemum are both good things. You have to drink them, don't let people throw them away. I spent a lot of money to buy them. They look like the best ginseng and the best chrysanthemum."
As soon as Cheng Feng left the hall, Wan Lianxing called the old housekeeper. He pointed with his chin at the packet of mouth medicine left by Cheng Feng and ordered, "Send the medicine for the sore mouth to the prince's mansion. The child's refusal to eat or drink may be related to the sore mouth."
The old butler knew that Wan Lianxing was thinking about Cheng Youning, so he agreed with a smile, "Okay, I'll go there myself. Your Majesty, your mouth is like this, do you want to ask an imperial physician to take a look?"
Wan Lianxing pressed his cheek with his fingers, facing the affected area where the medicine had just been applied, "Feng'er has already treated it for me, it's fine now."
"Your Majesty, you haven't had your breakfast yet."
"The ministers waiting to give advice are all lined up outside the palace. How can I have the heart to eat? Youning will really cause trouble for me. Oh, old housekeeper, go check on Cheng Youning. If he wakes up, he must be allowed to eat. This is the imperial decree."
"Your Majesty, why don't you wait until noon and go and see it yourself!"
"Hey, he's a troublemaker but he's made some achievements. I won't go even if he gets burned to death."
The old butler shook his head. This guy just talks tough.
……
Outside the palace gate, Cheng Feng met a group of ministers who were waiting here to give advice. They had just adjourned the court and they rushed to the Yangxin Palace to beg, could there be so many state affairs waiting for everyone to give advice?
Look at their serious faces and stern expressions. It is obvious that they have something important to tell Wan Lianxing, or they may want to use etiquette and laws to restrain and educate Wan Lianxing.
Some of these ministers came to speak their mind, and some came to cause trouble for Wan Lianxing. Looking at their stubborn faces, nothing good will happen when they go in.
Cheng Feng had a strange illusion that if he looked at these people's faces for too long, his life would be shortened.
But everyone still greeted each other warmly when they met. The status of Prince Cheng Feng in the royal family of Fengqi was unique. Many people wanted to make friends with him, but Cheng Feng did not give others the opportunity, so no one could get close to him.
At that time, several ministers were called in, and among those who stayed behind was Huang Chenming. The two of them stepped aside to talk.
Huang Chenming showed a guilty look when he saw Cheng Feng, "Huang is ashamed that I failed to make good friends with my students."
"Why are you ashamed? You didn't teach him to do this. This kid is just a bad boy. He wouldn't be himself if he didn't get into trouble illegally."
"I had heard about what the student did, but I saw that he was studying hard, so I didn't intervene. As a result, he made a big mistake."
"He won't wake up unless he's beaten. He's greedy and only wants profit, so it won't work if you talk to him. He has to be beaten. Beat him next time, and he'll wake up after that."
"Don't dare."
"Chen Ming, please talk to my uncle. This child likes to listen to you reading. If it were Cheng Youning, he would definitely betray his teacher and ancestors and do something extremely treasonous."
"Cheng Feng, it's useless for me to say anything. Besides, the emperor is still angry now."
"You knew he was angry, but you still came to see him. You are asking for trouble!"
"There are more than 70 officials who accepted bribes from the Crown Prince, and more than 160 who want to buy positions. This matter has a huge impact. We are here to offer advice to the Emperor."
Someone called Huang Chenming's name. Huang Chenming said goodbye to Cheng Feng: "The emperor sent me a message. We will talk about Youning another day."
After entering the palace, Cheng Feng didn't get anything done and had to rush home.
At home, Madam Wan was rubbing her rosary beads with a worried look on her face. It looked as if she had just cried. "Mom, I was just out for a while. What happened to you?"
"I've heard about Yuhua's family. The Yatuo people are really hateful. They burn, kill, rob and commit all kinds of evil. Aren't they afraid of being punished by God? The emperor of Dalang must be a fool. Why does he have to collude with Yatuo? Colluding with Yatuo is like inviting a wolf into the house. It will bring endless troubles! Oh! I don't know where your uncle's family is. Is the road safe?"
Cheng Feng also calculated this date, but he couldn't predict an exact date. "Mom, I guess it's these few days. They came out early."
"I really shouldn't have sent Nianxia back. If she met the Yatuo people on the way, she would have been kidnapped!"
"No, she's as stupid as a fool. Whoever kidnaps her will be sent back!" Cheng Feng comforted his mother with a smile, but he was as worried as anyone else.
