After rebirth, I became a national teacher

On the second day after the imperial court began to act, Chen Qingzhu, who lived in a villa in East City, learned that a plague had broken out in the capital.

It wasn't that she was slow, but the population of the capital was as high as one million, and East City was where the dignitaries lived, so the plague didn't spread there in the first few days.

In such a vast capital city, it is not easy for one thing to be known to everyone. She is immersed in cultivation, and all her information comes from reports from the outside world.

It was not until the Wucheng Bingmasi and Jingzhao Prefecture began arresting people that the Yan family brought news of the outbreak of plague in the capital.

This seems to have never happened in the previous life.

Although Chen Qingzhu was confused, he was not panicked.

After all, she has been reborn, so how could the world remain completely unchanged?

Coming to the capital in advance was also to grasp the changes in the world situation more quickly and look for opportunities to expand his own reputation.

"Send a message to the Yan family, asking them to pay close attention to the development of the plague. If there is any danger of getting out of control, they must report to me immediately."

Chen Qingzhu did not intend to take action on everything.

After all, spiritual energy is precious, and she must use it carefully.

Only when she takes action on things that are beyond human control can she demonstrate the power of God.

Although the plague is terrible, this is the capital city.

There are countless famous doctors in the world gathered here, and there are also imperial doctors and royal physicians in the palace.

These people have superb medical skills and extensive knowledge.

For some plagues that are very terrible in certain places, the doctors here may have already found solutions.

She needed to make sure they couldn't break through before attacking again.

Of course, the observation time cannot be too long.

Otherwise, if it really is a stubborn disease, with the population density of the capital, hundreds of thousands of patients would soon be infected, and the spiritual energy crystals she has stored might not be enough.

After observing for a few days, she found that even though the palace immediately transferred many imperial doctors to Huimin Pharmacy, the pharmacy itself also forcibly recruited many doctors from the capital.

But they didn't have any good way to treat those plague patients.

On the contrary, the court's move to capture plague patients caused the patients to hide everywhere, which directly accelerated the spread of the plague.

So, she decided not to wait any longer and took action directly.

Cui Wenhai’s worries turned out to be correct.

The position of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was a lucrative one, and Cui Wenhai did not have the ability or background to get involved in it.

However, his achievement in curbing the plague impressed Emperor Yong'an, who was embroiled in a scandal over natural disasters, and the emperor personally promoted him to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

It would be difficult for the officials eyeing this position to openly oppose Emperor Yong'an and find fault with Cui Wenhai when Emperor Yong'an was in high spirits.

They were all waiting to catch Cui Wenhai's faults after he took office.

Look, the opportunity is coming soon.

Someone got the news that the symptoms of this plague in the capital were exactly the same as those in Xingde County, Raozhou.

After verifying the facts with merchants from Raozhou in the capital, someone openly reported Cui Wenhai during the morning court session.

Emperor Yong'an was already very worried about the plague in the capital.

It goes without saying that such a major event as the plague in the capital would inevitably be exploited by the rebels.

It was originally hoped that Cui Wenhai, who had curbed the plague in Xingde, would play a major role. Unexpectedly, following Cui Wenhai's proposal made the plague in the capital city worse.

"Cui Wenhai, since the symptoms of the plague in the capital are exactly the same as those in Xingde, why don't you just use the Xingde prescription?"

Although Emperor Yong'an, who was sitting at the top of the table, spoke calmly, his expression was filled with doubt.

When questioned by the emperor, cold sweat immediately flowed down Cui Wenhai's forehead.

"Chen...chen..."

He stuttered for a long time and couldn't utter a word.

I have thought of countless excuses, but they are undoubtedly just delaying tactics.

The crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by death.

If you continue to deceive the emperor at this time, your crime will only be more serious.
