Today's palace banquet can be said to be as grand as a king's longevity banquet. Ordinary reports will not be delivered at this time.
Unless it is a matter of family or country.
Urgent report from Qingzhou covering eight hundred miles.
Emperor Tai'an stood up, the smile on his face disappeared, "Bring it up."
Zhao Sanbao has been waiting at the door for a long time.
Upon hearing this, he immediately took the urgent report from the guard and trotted to Emperor Tai'an.
At this time, everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony stood up, and everyone's eyes focused on the small letter.
The officials whispered.
What happened in Qingzhou?
A few years earlier, they would have guessed that the barbarians from the west were coming again.
But in the past two years, Barbarian hasn't made any big moves since winter, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
After Emperor Tai'an finished reading the urgent report, his expression was so solemn that he could shed tears.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Elder Yao Ge asked.
Emperor Tai'an handed the letter to him and said to the female family members below him: "My beloved concubines, please go back to the palace and rest first."
The New Year's Eve banquet that ended in such a hurry can be said to be the first time since His Majesty ascended the throne.
Although the concubines were a little surprised, they saw Emperor Tai'an's face sinking like water and they honestly withdrew.
Concubine Zhou raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Qiong behind her. Seeing him smiling at her like a gentle breeze and bright moon, she breathed a sigh of relief and left without looking back.
Seeing that all the girls had left, Emperor Tai'an was about to speak, but he caught a glimpse of Liu Baozhu, who was still standing aside as a pillar. He couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Queen, aren't you leaving yet?"
Only then did Liu Baozhu realize that the concubines he mentioned included himself.
She excused herself and left.
Before leaving, his eyes kept falling on his brother, especially when he saw that his brother also had a solemn face, obviously uninformed, and he felt even more anxious.
Qingzhou still has an army to suppress the west, a brave army that has never been completely conquered.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Jin Shangshu also asked.
"A plague has broken out in Xuerong City in Qingzhou." Yao Ge Lao Yan gave the answer in a concise and comprehensive manner.
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were a little shocked.
Only Duke Wu's frown relaxed, and there was a faint smile on his lips.
Nothing but a plague.
He thought it was a big deal. As long as what he did in Qingzhou wasn't discovered, everything else didn't matter.
"The plague has not appeared in our Dongrui for more than 20 years. How come it has appeared so well? It is difficult to cure. If it fails, it will be a catastrophe."
"I always feel like the past two years have been uneventful."
"Yes, floods broke out in the south a few years ago, and water bandits were rampant, which cost a lot of money. The treasury is still empty, so why is there another plague?"
The officials were talking a lot.
Seeing that the discussion was getting more and more noisy, Mr. Yao Ge asked Emperor Tai'an for instructions, "Your Majesty, can you please invite a few people to go to the imperial study for a detailed discussion?"
There are so many people with mixed opinions, so discussing like this is not an option.
Emperor Tai'an was not in any mood at this time.
Going to the imperial study is no different from here. Since ancient times, plagues have to be controlled as soon as possible, or they will continue to become a catastrophe. If the epidemic is not controlled, it will be a major blow to a country.
For an emperor, it may be a stain in the annals of history.
Nothing he wanted to see.
"Everyone, sit down. Let's take advantage of this opportunity where all the ministers are here to let them talk about how to deal with it and brainstorm." Emperor Tai'an said in a deep voice.
Mr. Yao Ge nodded.
Now the plague only occurs in one city and has not spread to surrounding cities. It would be best if we can think of a way to control it. If not... then we will deal with it according to the old practices.
"Don't think about what you have or don't have. Why don't you think about how to deal with this matter now?"
After Elder Yao Ge finished asking, a minister immediately suggested: "I suggest that Xuerong City be sealed immediately and no entry or exit is allowed."
After the talent finished speaking, his political opponent immediately sneered and said: "The Qingzhou government office will take action on this matter as soon as possible. We will notify you when we think of it. The day lilies are already cold. Oops, I said Mr. Qiao, you were How did you pass the Jinshi exam? Isn’t this the strategy for taking the exam?"
Mr. Qiao was so ridiculed, and immediately turned pale and said, "Am I wrong to start from the first step? Since Mr. Wang thinks what I said is not good, can you tell me, what should I do next?"
"On the one hand, it is natural to dispatch soldiers from Qingzhou Camp to station outside Xuerong City to prevent city residents from rioting. On the other hand, we recruit famous doctors from all over the world to go to Xuerong City to treat patients."
"Which famous doctor dares to treat the plague?"
"Then let the imperial doctors go."
Xu Yao, the envoy of Taiyuan Hospital who was sitting farthest away: "..."
Emperor Tai'an heard this and said, "Of course the imperial doctors will go, but we need to choose a few suitable ones."
Xu Yao hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take people there in person. I also ask your Majesty to decide on a few imperial doctors who can go with me."
It is true that he is the top doctor among those imperial doctors, but this kind of life-threatening task must be arranged by Emperor Tai'an personally, otherwise he will make enemies for himself and think that he is living too comfortably.
"Which of the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are good at diagnosing and treating epidemic diseases?" Emperor Tai'an asked.
At this time, the imperial doctors who were qualified to attend the dinner looked at each other.
This plague is not Chinese cabbage, and you will not catch it just because you are a doctor. Who dares to say that he is good at diagnosing and treating epidemic diseases?
It was Xu Yao who still had the courage to say: "Your Majesty, the last time a plague occurred was in Yanzhou Qixian Town twenty years ago. At that time, we were still young apprentices following the master..."
After hearing this, Emperor Tai'an came to some understanding and asked: "How many people are there in the Tai'an Hospital today who are bold in using medicine and are good at diagnosing and treating strange diseases?"
"I am not talented, but I like to think about these things on weekdays. Among the remaining imperial doctors, there is Jiang Wenxi who uses medicine in an eclectic way, so I might be able to go with him."
Not to mention Emperor Tai'an frowning, even Mr. Yao Ge couldn't help blowing his beard and staring, "Is there anyone else? Xu Yao, are you sixty-six this year? You are already a lot older. Qingzhou is a long way away. We need to travel quickly again, can you handle it? Your hospital doesn't have any other brave and capable young people?"
Xu Yao showed a wry smile, "Mr. Ge, you also know that we doctors, after mastering the basic pharmacology, face different patients and prescribe different prescriptions. Most of them are accumulated through many years of experience and many doctor visits." Experience, you don’t dare to take this inexperienced doctor who boldly prescribes medicine for you.”
What he said makes sense.
Sending two imperial doctors was too shabby.
Mr. Yao Ge was just thinking about grabbing a few imperial doctors to make up the numbers, when he heard someone ask: "I remember that there used to be an old imperial doctor in the imperial hospital, Tang, who was very good at acupuncture. I wonder if acupuncture is effective in treating epidemic diseases?"
