Chapter 159 To put it bluntly, it's just a signboard
Yun Fuling put down the teacup in her hand and said slowly: "Grandfathers, do you know what is the most important thing for Jishitang?"
Ouyang Ming and Old Man Hang looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
Yun Fuling smiled without saying anything and pointed at the door frame.
Ouyang Ming and Old Man Hang suddenly realized what was going on. They slammed their hands on the table almost at the same time and said in unison, "It's the imperial plaque!"
The Yun family’s medical skills are secondary to Jishidiang’s current status. The most important thing is the plaque bestowed by Emperor Taizu.
Otherwise, with so many medical clinics in the Daqi Dynasty, including many century-old medical families, why is it that Jishidiang is the only one that dominates the medical field?
This is because the imperial plaque bestowed by Taizu is the confidence of the Yun family and Jishidiang.
Yun Fuling directly cut off the source of the problem by openly taking away the plaque in the name of a member of the Yun family, thus cutting off the escape route for Jishidiang that Yun Gansong had opened.
At the same time, it is also announcing to the world that Yun Fuling is the only one in Jishiditang, and anyone who dares to impersonate his name will be guilty of deceiving the emperor and punishable by death.
Unexpectedly, these two old men could not see through the essence of the problem as well as the little girl Yun Fuling.
Yun Fuling took a sip of tea and said, "Without the imperial plaque, Yun Gansong can no longer open a medicine shop under the name of Jishitang."
"The pharmacies he controls are no different from other ordinary pharmacies."
"It just happens to be across from my real Jishiditang. All the customers who come here will naturally talk about it."
"After so much time, what good reputation will Yun Gansong have left?"
"Besides, other medicine shops are not pushovers. In the past, Yun Gansong and his men relied on the background of Jishiditang to bully others and dominate the market."
"Now that he has no one to rely on, there is no shortage of people who want to take revenge on him."
"In less than three to five months, all of his pharmacies will be closed!"
"Isn't this much easier than taking back the Jishiditang that he occupied, and then going through the trouble of eliminating dissidents, winning over the people's hearts, and restoring its reputation?"
"To put it bluntly, this Jishiditang is just a signboard, and the store is secondary."
After hearing these words, Mr. Hang and Ouyang Ming were filled with emotions and were so impressed that they were speechless.
After a long while, Ouyang Ming finally said, "Young people are to be feared. Young people are truly to be feared!"
The inner courtyard of Jishidi Hall was filled with the aroma of tea and the atmosphere was warm. At this time, in all the major teahouses and taverns in the capital, there were rumors that the daughter of Marquis Jichun had returned and revealed the truth of her murder five years ago. Yun Gansong, although a concubine's son, murdered the bloodline of the Yun family and occupied the Yun family's property.
This kind of gossip about fighting for inheritance and killing, and marrying into the wife's family and destroying the whole family, is the most eye-catching and makes people rush to watch it.
Coupled with the deliberate publicity by Boss Wu and others, the news spread throughout the capital in just one day.
That night, in the Imperial Palace, the Purple Palace.
Emperor Jingping sat behind the imperial desk, while a young emissary of the Shadow Blade Division was kneeling in the hall, reporting everything Yun Fuling had done today.
When Emperor Jingping heard the last part, he couldn't help laughing.
"This girl is really smart!"
The rest were nothing, but the last move of taking off the plaque made Emperor Jingping feel a bit of admiration.
With her as his successor, the Yun family might become prosperous again.
Although men dominate this world, Emperor Jingping never looks down on women.
During the reign of Taizu, there were also women who went into battle to kill enemies and made great achievements.
Princess Chaoyang, wife of Taizu, was a female general who had made many military achievements.
Women's abilities are sometimes even superior to men's.
Emperor Jingping raised his hand and said to Eunuch Gao, "Go back and tell the Imperial Hospital to find a fault and expel Yun Gansong from the Imperial Hospital."
Such a person with bad character and no moral integrity should not be kept in the Imperial Hospital.
Eunuch Gao immediately understood that Yun Gansong was disliked by Emperor Jingping.
He lowered his eyes and agreed, and then said, "Your Majesty, Yun Gansong has always been favored by the Empress Dowager. She always summons him to take the pulse."
"When the Empress Dowager finds out and starts asking questions..."
Back then, Yun Gansong cured the empress dowager's illness with just one pill.
Since then, he caught the empress dowager's attention, and her health has been taken care of by him and another imperial physician named Xu in recent years.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingping glared at Eunuch Gao and said unhappily, "Do you still need me to teach you how to do such a small thing?"
Eunuch Gao bowed and admitted his mistake, "It was my fault!"
"He's just an imperial physician. He made a mistake and was kicked out of the Imperial Hospital. Is it possible that the Queen Mother will protect him?"
"There are many doctors in the Imperial Hospital. We can send a better one to serve the Empress Dowager later."
The anger on Emperor Jingping's face subsided a little.
But when he thought of the Queen Mother, Emperor Jingping felt very upset.
A few days ago, Yun Fuling was treating him, and during the treatment, someone was so bold as to mix poisonous herbs into his medicine.
Afterwards, the Shadow Blade Division conducted a thorough investigation and found that the doctor who changed the dressing could not withstand the torture and confessed everything.
That doctor was a thorn in the palace planted by the Cui family.
According to the doctor, he received an order that day to tamper with the medicine prescribed by Yun Fuling.
The doctor had no idea who gave the order, he just followed it.
Since they are members of the Cui family, the people who can move this nail are no more than four people.
One is the Cui family.
The second is Queen Mother Cui.
The third is Concubine Cui.
The fourth is the third prince.
No matter which one it was, it made Emperor Jingping feel dissatisfied with the Cui family.
The purpose of the people behind this was to throw dirty water on Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling and accuse them of murdering the monarch.
But if you think about it more deeply, it might be possible that they were trying to kill two birds with one stone and harm him as the emperor.
After all, if Yun Fuling had not noticed anything wrong with the medicine and had directly boiled it and fed it to Emperor Jingping, Emperor Jingping’s life would probably be in danger.
When Emperor Jingping thought of this, he felt so angry that his teeth were itching.
He was very tolerant of the Cui family, but the Cui family repeatedly touched his bottom line.
Tolerable or unbearable.
It's time to uproot the big tree of the Cui family.
Otherwise, if it is allowed to grow any longer, it might cover his head and cause a disaster!
As for the third prince, he also deserves a good beating!
Emperor Jingping once treated Empress Dowager Cui as his own mother and was very filial to her.
However, the case of King Jiangzhou created a rift between mother and son.
Empress Dowager Cui was dissatisfied with Emperor Jingping and suspected that he was the one who secretly took action, so she ordered people to kill the King of Jiangzhou and his family.
Didn’t Emperor Jingping doubt Empress Dowager Cui’s intentions?
He thought that he was very kind to the King of Jiangzhou, and that his fiefdom was the richest and most extensive among all the kings.
He was also grateful to Empress Dowager Cui for raising him and later supporting him in becoming emperor.
Therefore, he was very kind to Queen Mother Cui and the Cui family.
Even when he was choosing the queen, he followed the Queen Mother Cui's wishes and made the daughter of the Cui family the queen to repay her.
However, the King of Jiangzhou began to plot rebellion.
Is this Prince Jiangzhou's own thought, or does Queen Mother Cui also have such thoughts?
