Chapter 173: Hu Weiyong is Furious

Chapter 173: Hu Weiyong is shocked and angry

And the rumor is that Jinyiwei Ye Xuan is the illegitimate son of the current emperor Zhu Yuanzhang!
In Hu Weiyong's view, this was undoubtedly absurd to the point of being ridiculous. After all, Hu Weiyong had followed Zhu Yuanzhang in battles for half his life.

If Zhu Yuanzhang really had a mistress outside, there was no reason for me not to know about it.

And it's not just himself. If Zhu Yuanzhang really had an illegitimate child, how could it be possible that no news of it had been leaked out at all?

It was common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that even before he became emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was already the King of Wu who ruled a certain region.

If he wants any woman, he can just bring her back to play with her openly.

There is no need for the plot of hiding a beautiful woman in a golden house. If someone says that it is because Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that Empress Ma would become jealous, then there is no need for that plot.

Then Hu Weiyong could only say that you really don't understand His Majesty the Emperor. Not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang had many concubines after he became emperor, even before he became emperor, he had already married three or four concubines.

Otherwise, where do you think Zhu Yuanzhang's 26 sons and even more daughters came from? If Empress Ma was left alone, she wouldn't be able to give birth to so many in her lifetime!
This brings the problem back to the starting point, that is, although Lao Zhu also plays with women, he does not keep them outside. He just brings them back home openly.

However, Hu Weiyong could not rule out the possibility that Zhu Yuanzhang had just had a one-night stand with a certain woman and then had an illegitimate child with her, and that he did not actually like that woman. This possibility certainly exists.

It was certainly not luck that enabled Hu Weiyong to become the prime minister, but also because he was a man of extraordinary talent.

Although I didn't believe the rumors about Ye Xuan before, after being touched by Ye Xuan's words, I actually began to believe it a little.

Because let alone a mere thousand households, even those dukes would not dare to describe him with the four words "powerful and overwhelming" to describe him.

Would a mere Jinyiwei dare to do that?

If he didn't dare, then who told him to say these four words?
Think about it, Ye Xuan was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, so is it possible that these four words were what Zhu wanted to say to criticize him through Ye Xuan?

It is indeed strange when you think about it. Why would they send a Jinyiwei here out of the blue?

Now that I think about it, Zhu Yuanzhang must have had some deeper meaning behind it.

So everyone was surprised to see that Hu Weiyong, the left chancellor of the Secretariat and always overbearing and tyrannical, did not lose his temper at the first moment when he was pointed at by a small captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and scolded for having great power in the court.

Even after a long silence, they acted as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this scene, Hua Yuan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

After a long silence, Hu Weiyong suddenly laughed and said, "Captain Ye, you are joking. Although I am the Prime Minister, I will not abuse my power."

"Since Captain Ye also knows medical skills, please treat Marquis Chengyi."

"This, this..." Hua Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to object, but was glared back by Hu Weiyong.

Ye Xuan was already prepared to break off relations with Hu Weiyong, but who knew that the other party would inexplicably back down.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Ye Xuan didn't care.

After taking back the Embroidered Spring Knife that was on Hua Yuan's neck, Ye Xuan glanced at Hua Yuan and ignored him.

But Hua Yuan was trembling all over when he saw the murderous look. Touching the wound on his neck, Hua Yuan decided not to provoke this madman any further. "Lord Liu." Ye Xuan walked to the bedside and saluted Liu Lian.

Liu Lian hesitated for a while, but nodded when he looked at his dying old father on the hospital bed.

At this moment, even the imperial physicians from the palace had no good solution, so Liu Lian had no choice but to give it a try.

Under the curious gaze of everyone, Ye Xuan found a chair and sat down in front of Liu Bowen. He first asked about some symptoms, such as where he felt uncomfortable, when it started, etc.

Then he began to ask the servant who was responsible for serving Liu Bowen about Liu Bowen's situation.

Basic conditions such as how much coughing there is and whether there is phlegm.

When he had asked almost all the questions, Ye Xuan bowed and said, "My lords, thank you for waiting for a long time. I think I already know what disease the Earl of Chengyi has."

"Oh, what kind of disease does my father have?" Liu Lian blurted out immediately.

Hu Weiyong, Hua Yuan and others also looked over in surprise. They thought that Ye Xuan just wanted to take the opportunity to show his presence in front of Liu Bowen and his son, but they didn't expect that Ye Xuan seemed to really know medical skills.

However, Hua Yuan could not help but say, "If Lord Ye wants to say that the Earl of Chengyi has caught a cold, I think you should just keep your mouth shut."

Although he had made up his mind not to provoke Ye Xuan anymore, his nature still made him unable to hold back and speak.

Fortunately, the wound on his neck still hurt a little, which made him speak more cautiously.

Ye Xuan ignored him and said to Liu Lian and Hu Weiyong: "In fact, the doctors before were right. Earl Chengyi was indeed infected with a cold at the beginning..."

Hua Yuan looked sarcastic when he heard this, and was about to say something when Ye Xuan glared back at him.

Ye Xuan continued, "But the old man is old after all, and his body is not as good as that of a young person. If he were a young person, he would probably recover in a few days."

"But Lord Chengyi is old and weak, and he has not received good care, so his condition has become worse, and even turned from a minor illness into a major one."

Liu Lian became anxious upon hearing this and asked, "This is impossible. Although our Liu family is not a wealthy family, we are still an official family. We still have several servants in the house. They have been taking good care of us and dare not slack off. How can we say that we are not well taken care of?"

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said, "I think Lord Liu has misunderstood. I am not saying that you did not take good care of Lord Chengyi. It is just that you are not familiar with medical skills and you are inevitably negligent in some things."

Ye Xuan stopped playing tricks and said directly: "In the beginning, Lord Chengyi did catch a cold. Logically, after the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he will recover slowly as long as he rests for a period of time."

"But the old man is not as healthy as he was when he was young. In addition, your house is filled with moisture all year round. The excessive humidity has prevented the cold from getting better, and it eventually developed into pneumonia."

"Pneumonia?" Liu Lian asked in surprise.

Hua Yuan frowned when he heard this, as if he had thought of something.

Ye Xuan nodded and said, "It's what people often call a cough."

The cough at this time not only refers to a symptom, but also is a disease name, which is mainly divided into two categories: exogenous cough and endogenous cough.

Among them, exogenous cough refers to the six external pathogens invading the lungs, mainly including wind-cold attacking the lungs, wind-heat attacking the lungs, and wind-dryness damaging the lungs;
Internal injury cough includes phlegm-dampness accumulating in the lungs type, phlegm-heat stagnation in the lungs type, lung yin deficiency type and liver fire invading the lungs type.
