Translator: 549690339
Xia qingchen spoke calmly, ” men, send him off. If he’s willing, send him to Prime Minister Wang’s current residence. He can look for his brother-in-law.
“Yes!”
A few guards immediately dragged Zhao Zishan out.
The luxurious and magnificent scenery along the way gradually blurred.
The three positions that gave him a headache also quickly left.
The beautiful fantasy, the bright future, and the high-spirited future were all dragged away and disappeared.
It was not until he was pushed out and rolled down the steps at the entrance of the mansion that he woke up in pain.
As the door of Green Willow courtyard closed, all the beautiful fantasies were shattered, leaving only the cruel and cold reality.
Zhao Zishan touched his cheek. He really wanted to tell himself that he was still in a dream.
However, that was not the case!
He lived in the cruel reality, and the reality was getting crueler and crueler.
This was because he had just rebuked the many officials of the Imperial Academy of Medicine and resigned.
Not only did he fail to curry favor with the big shots, not only did he fail to rise to the top, not only did he fail to become a person in power who looked down on the small Imperial physicians.
Instead, he had destroyed his only job!
His heart continued to sink.
It was like a person who had ascended to the sky and thought that he could reach the highest heavens, but the ladder suddenly broke …
Sitting in the green Willow courtyard for a long time, Zhao Zishan was completely dumbfounded.
It took a long time for him to come back to his senses and he muttered, “I’m not done yet!” My father is a high-ranking officer in the patrol Division. With him around, I can rise again!”
As he thought about it, Zhao Zishan regained his former self-confidence.
He turned back to look at the green Willow courtyard and clenched his fists, ” I, Zhao Zishan, have the ability, the talent, and the family background. As long as you give me time, I will surpass you sooner or later. At that time, you are nothing in front of me!
With his father’s status and the Zhao family’s many years of accumulation …
He believed that he would be able to make a comeback.
After all, he was still young, only twenty years old.
He still had a long life ahead of him, didn’t he?
Confidence returned to his body as he strode away with his hands behind his back. He chanted generously, ‘”‘Natural talent is always useful, a thousand gold scattered and then returned! Hahaha!”
They returned to the Zhao Manor.
Zhao Zishan entered the mansion and found that the servants were very busy.
“Father, you’re back?” Zhao Zishan asked in surprise.
The servant dodged his gaze and nodded.
Zhao Zishan’s heart was set. With his father as a big tree, the Zhao family would not fall!
He quickly went to his father’s bedroom, but what he saw was his father lying on the bed in a bloody mess.
His entire body was emitting a foul stench, and abscesses were left everywhere!
There was not a single part of his skin that was intact. His flesh had been torn open by the brute force.
The most shocking thing was that his legs were broken, and they were the kind of incurable comminuted fractures.
“Father!” Zhao Zishan pounced over, his heart in a panic:”How did you end up like this?”
“I offended Prince yunshu and was punished by the patrol Division,” Zhao Tian mocked himself weakly.
Zhao Zishan’s heart sank.
However, he was not concerned about his father’s injury. “Then your position
“No more!” Zhao Tian said in pain.
Plop-
Zhao Zishan sat on the ground, as if he had lost the last pillar of support in his heart.
His father had lost his official position, so what right did he have to rise again in Dongshan?
why did you bump into Prince yunshu? ” Zhao Zishan didn’t care about Zhao Tian’s injuries and asked.
“It’s because I was blind and misjudged you,” Zhao Tian said with a bitter smile.
He summarized it, and Zhao Zishan sucked in a breath of cold air.
Xia qingchen was actually that great character whose name shook the imperial capital!
No wonder he could personally guide the doctors in the Imperial Academy of
Medicine, no wonder even Prime Minister Wang wanted to free up a residence for him!
Zhao Zishan’s eyes lost focus and he was in a daze.
He had actually missed such a peerless figure.
Furthermore, they were once relatives!
However, he had taken the initiative to cut off his connection with the other party and drove the other party away, cutting off his path to heaven.
Could there be anything more ironic than this?
Zishan, don’t be discouraged. The Zhao family’s Foundation won’t collapse so easily. Keep working hard, and there’s still hope for us to rebuild our family. Zhao Tian consoled.
Hearing this, Zhao Zishan regained his confidence.
father is right. I, Zhao Zishan, am destined not to be an ordinary person in my life. Even without Xia qingchen, I will still become a man above all others!
he believed that with the Zhao family’s Foundation and the connections that he and his father had left in the capital, there was still hope for them to rise again.
However, at this moment.
The screams of the maidservants came from outside.
A group of armed soldiers barged into the Zhao Manor and guarded every corner.
The three female officials stood in the courtyard and shouted, ‘”‘The Imperial edict has arrived! Imperial Academy of Medicine’s assistant, Zhao Zishan, receive the Imperial edict!”
Imperial edict?
Zhao Zishan was shocked and hurriedly ran out, respectfully kneeling on the ground to listen to the decree.
by the decree of Emperor Tiancheng, the former assistant of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, Zhao Zishan, has embezzled, embezzled medicinal herbs, and deceived his superiors and subordinates. His crimes are unpardonable. Today, his property will be confiscated as a warning to others.
“Men, raid the house!” The female official kept the Imperial edict and shouted.
The soldiers first pushed the servants and maidservants to the side, and then threw Zhao Zishan and his son out of the Zhao Manor.
The father and son lay on the street, watching the soldiers move the Zhao Manor like wolves and tigers, seizing it without leaving a single copper coin for them.
Zhao Zishan’s eyes were in a daze, unable to believe that this was real.
The only thing he could rely on to rise again, the Zhao Manor, had been seized!
When the female official walked out, Zhao Zishan scrambled over and said,
‘”‘Your Excellency, Your Excellency, I’ve been wronged!”
The female official kicked him away in disgust and said indifferently, ” this is a joint Memorial from many Imperial physicians, accusing you of corruption and bending the law for many years. If you are wronged, go and reason with them!
It turned out.
Under Prince yunshu’s recommendation, the Emperor ordered the Imperial Academy of Medicine to remove its assistant position and to investigate the deficit of the Imperial Academy of Medicine over the years.
That group of Imperial physicians were usually greedy for enjoyment and took a lot of things from the Imperial Academy of Medicine.
Once it was thoroughly investigated, no one would be able to escape.
So, of course, they had to find someone to take the blame.
As for the person to be the scapegoat, after their discussion, they unanimously voted for Zhao Zishan.
The Imperial Academy of Medicine had many factions and the various Imperial physicians often schemed against each other. There had never been a single matter that could make all the Imperial physicians come to an agreement. Zhao Zishan was the only one, and the entire Imperial Academy of Medicine unanimously agreed to let him be the scapegoat.
There was no dispute during this period and no Imperial physician retorted.
It was said that the one with the most resolute attitude was Imperial physician Liu, who was in charge of him.
He declared on the spot that if he did not choose Zhao Zishan to be the scapegoat, he would resign from his position as an Imperial physician on the spot.
It had to be said that Zhao Zishan’s conduct to this extent was also considered a kind of ability.
So, when the Emperor found out that a small assistant had embezzled so many things from the Imperial Academy of Medicine, he was furious.
The king had originally planned to exterminate the entire family.
It was Prince yunshu who had given a timely reminder. Given the relationship between the Zhao clan and Xia qingchen in the past, the king had only confiscated the Zhao clan’s property and not exterminated it.
Zhao Zishan looked up to the sky in grief and anger,”you bunch of despicable people!”
But he understood that it was all his own fault..
