After rebirth, I became a national teacher

"Your Majesty, although Minister Cui was responsible for negligence, he successfully prevented the spread of the Xingde plague in Raozhou. He has extensive experience in curbing plagues. It would be better to hand this matter over to Lord Cui to handle it, so that he can make up for his crime with his merits!"

Emperor Yong'an also remembered Cui Wenhai's contribution, so he said:

"Cui Wenhai, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Cui Wenhai was extremely afraid that he failed to conceal the secret from the emperor and was held accountable instead.

However, he did have ideas about how to contain the plague.

He explained in detail to Emperor Yong'an the methods and procedures for dealing with the plague written by the magistrate of Xingde County.

After all, these methods come from the summary of medical families and are very reasonable in themselves.

Also very convincing.

After hearing this, Emperor Yong'an's expression eased a lot.

"In this case, the current plague in the capital will be handled by Minister Cui."

"Whether you want people or medicinal materials, I will have people fully cooperate with you. I will give you half a month to control this plague!"

Cui Wenhai doesn't have any rich experience in curbing the plague.

He merely took the credit for the work done by the God of Du'e and the magistrate of Xingde County.

But even if he was unsure, at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and say:

"I will do my best to stop the plague!"

In order to prevent the rapid spread of the disease, as soon as Cui Wenhai left the palace, he immediately followed the instructions of the Xingde County Magistrate and ordered the Wucheng Bingmasi and Jingzhao Prefecture to work together to arrest all the infected people.

In theory, there is nothing wrong with this process.

However, the situation in the capital and Xingde County is very different.

The reason why Xingde County dared to handle it in this way is because there are few people.

More importantly, the magistrate of Xingde County was deeply loved and trusted by the people in the city.

He said that the sick people should be gathered at the county government office for unified treatment and care, and the people believed it and were willing to cooperate.

Jingzhao Prefecture does not have this kind of moral prestige at all.

As soon as the yamen runners arrested people, the people became extremely panicked and didn't believe that they would get proper treatment.

There are rumors that these powerful officials do not take the lives of ordinary people seriously.

At this time, in order to prevent them from spreading the disease to more people and affecting the dignitaries in the city and the emperor in the palace, they must be burned to death in order to stop the plague.

In order to prevent people from fleeing and bringing the plague to more places, Cui Wenhai, like the original magistrate of Xingde County, closed all the city gates.

A strong sense of panic suddenly spread among the people.

Those who have just been infected dare not reveal that they are sick.

Those whose symptoms are already serious will hide away.

There are also those who are carefree and full of despair, who even deliberately go to crowded places, hoping to drag more people with them before they die.

In just three or five days, not many patients were caught, but instead the sick people all over the city fled.

Even in the east and north of the city, where the nobles originally lived, people infected with the plague gradually appeared.

The powerful people were very dissatisfied with Cui Wenhai's handling of the matter.

Normally, in the event of an epidemic, these people would definitely leave the city to avoid the disaster.

But Cui Wenhai took the chicken feathers as a token of authority and refused to let them leave.

Now, seeing that Cui Wenhai's actions had caused chaos in the city and made the plague spread further, these people suddenly felt that they had caught Cui Wenhai and wrote to the emperor to impeach him.

Cui Wenhai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who had just arrived in the capital to serve as an official, was suddenly surrounded by enemies.

What's worse is that many of the plague patients at the beginning have died as the disease progressed.

The course and symptoms of the disease are exactly the same as the plague in Xingde.

Anyone who is interested will discover this if they check.

So, now his plan of asking Huimin Pharmacy and imperial doctors to develop the prescription has been completely exposed.

Because according to his previous reports, the prescription that could cure the plague was discovered by him and the doctors, and it should have been used directly now.

But the plague was actually completely cured by the God Du'e. Where could he find an effective prescription?
