doctor knife in hand

Song Huai came back very late, and Lu Jin asked: "Didn't you say that Tangshan is not far away? Why have you been there for so long? How is it? Is there any impact?"

Song Huai wiped the sweat off his face, took a sip of water, and then said to Lu Jin: "The Tangshan mountain is cracked, and many pools have turned into cold pools. I searched the mountain for a week, only to find a few hot pools. "

Lu Jin's raised brows immediately relaxed, but luckily he didn't have to think of another way.

"I have to call the craftsmen to go and have a look, and help me find a way." Now that there is a hot spring, Lu Jin doesn't wait, "Go tomorrow morning."

"I'm going to find someone now." Song Huai immediately stood up.

"Then eat something before leaving!" Lu Jin said, a soldier came over with two steamed buns, Song Huai grabbed the two steamed buns, turned to Lu Jin and raised her head to show that she knew.

Craftsmen also gathered in the west of the city, but compared to the poor people, their houses were much stronger.Because of making things for the imperial court in the palace, they are relatively rich on hand, and there are many priceless semi-finished products on the shelf, so the house dare not be unstable.

Therefore, when the earth dragon turned over, although some houses collapsed, but not many.

Few were unfortunately killed, and most were injured.

Song Huai quickly found some craftsmen, and Lu Jin took his simple schematic diagram to explain his needs to these craftsmen.

He doesn't understand architecture or technology. He only knows that he needs a room that can generate a steady stream of boiling water vapor for at least half an hour. After the sterilization is completed, the temperature of the water vapor can be artificially lowered to enter the experiment.In order to maintain a sterile environment in the house, sterile air needs to be continuously introduced, so the air must be sterilized by steam before being introduced.

"That would require a big bellows, otherwise how would you blow air into that room?"

"The air can't go directly into that room, it has to go through the high-temperature steam first."

"Don't think about the air, how to clean up this room."

"The house must be built on the water. You can boil the water. Doctor Lu ordered it to be built on the soup pool. The water itself is hot, so it will be easier to boil."

"How do you cook it? Can you cook the soup pond directly? The pond is your pot, so cook it if you say so?"

"Hey, you talk..."

"What's wrong with me, what I said doesn't make sense?"

"Come on, what are you arguing about, let's not do business?"

"Then...you have to draw out the water first, and then find a place to dig a shallow pool, seal the bottom of the pool, build a house on the top, and dig the bottom to burn firewood."

"That's fine, but the water can't be diverted too far, or it will be cold."

"It's right next to the soup pool."

"It's just a big stove!"

"What about the air?"

"Just build another room like this one, and make it smaller. First pump the air into this room, and then enter that room after passing through the steam."

"also."

"It seems possible."

"Go and have a look tomorrow morning, and we'll come back and modify it."

But one night, the craftsmen came up with a plan, and early the next morning, Lu Jin and them went to investigate on the spot.

Fortunately, the situation in Tangshan is better than Lu Jin thought. After the earthquake, the mountain is gradually recovering, and many cold pools are gradually warming up.

Along a large warm pool, the craftsmen began to measure the place, draw drawings, and strive to start construction as soon as possible.

They have already learned the purpose of Lu Jin's work, and they are working harder than ever.The whole family lives in the capital, and no one wants such a terrible plague to happen.

On the other side, Song Heng found two masters from Huguo Temple and Huai'en Temple and explained their intentions.

"Although this is a bit unreasonable, but at this moment, I can't take care of so much. I also ask the two masters to help and lead the monks to persuade the common people to go to the funeral within two days as soon as possible, and don't wait any longer!"

After a person dies, the general resting period ranges from three to seven days. However, due to continuous disasters and rain, many people who died suddenly did not even have the funeral utensils ready, and the time was extended to at least five days, or even seven days.

For such a long time, with this weather and humidity, the corpse must be rotten.

The two masters are both highly respected people, and they also know the horror of the epidemic. They naturally agreed to Song Heng's request.

Master Xuan Bei from Huguo Temple said: "We will do our best."

However, the funeral matter is more important than everything else, and this kind of thinking is deeply rooted. Even if Huguo Temple and Huai'en Temple are well-known in people's hearts, they can't make people violate the filial piety and obey them.

The effect was not satisfactory. Although there were many more funeral attendees on the second day than usual, it was still negligible compared with the huge death toll.

Without an imperial decree, there is no way to use strong means, and it will not help if you talk about it.

Song Heng had no choice but to enter the palace again.

At the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he saw the important cabinet ministers coming out of the Hall of Peaceful Harmony shaking their heads.

When the important officials saw Song Heng, they greeted him one after another.

Song Heng returned the salute one by one, and asked: "Are you here, are you here to meet the emperor?"

Elder Lin Ge said: "The emperor has not been in court for two days. Hearing that the dragon's body is ill, the ministers and others came to visit, but..."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials Jiang Daren said: "I will come to see you in the afternoon. Ying Gonggong said that the emperor has already fallen asleep after drinking the decoction, but now that the sky is getting dark, the emperor has not woken up. The palace gate is about to be released. The ministers have to leave first .”

Song Heng looked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony when he heard the words, and frowned slightly, "Is the prince here?"

Lin Ge said: "Yes, His Royal Highness is worried and tired. It can be seen that he has been worried about the emperor's condition for many days. The ministers did not want to disturb, so they came out."

"Master Song has something important to report?"

Song Heng nodded.

"Oh, the emperor is not awake, although the crown prince is in charge of the country, but in the end..." Another elder said halfway and did not continue.

Master Jiang asked: "Master Song came here for the disaster?"

Song Heng nodded again.

Master Jiang looked at Song Heng, and couldn't help showing embarrassment on his face. Song Heng was a little puzzled by his hesitant appearance.

At this time, the bell before the key was rang in the distance, and Mr. Jiang finally left in a hurry under the urging of other ministers.

Song Heng looked at Master Jiang's back, and suddenly said to Song Yang beside him, "Go and see."

The prince covered his face and sat outside the hall of the Taihe Hall. Hearing the familiar footsteps, he stood up quickly, as if seeing a savior, and shouted: "Uncle."

The prince's expression was about to cry, Song Heng's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, but the emperor..." As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the curtains of the bedroom.

Hearing that the crown prince shook his head again and again, "No, no, father only drank the medicine at noon and slept until now."

Song Heng's heart almost broke when he mentioned it. After running around and worrying for days, he was frightened like this again, and his whole body suddenly became irritable. If his reason was not still there, he really wanted to beat him up.

"Then what's the matter?" Song Heng tried his best to keep his tone calm, but it was still serious.

The prince's body trembled almost imperceptibly, and subconsciously took two steps back, as if he was afraid that Song Heng would rush over.

Then he stared behind Song Heng with his eyes wide open, and whispered, wanting to cry but without tears: "Doctor Lu didn't come..."

Song Heng rubbed the bridge of his nose vigorously, turned his eyes around the hall, and asked, "Where is Eunuch Ying?"

If you can't tell the prince clearly, it's better to find someone who can talk well.

Eunuch Ying came out of the bedroom when he heard the sound, saw Song Heng, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face, "Uncle Guo is here."

The crown prince leaned closer to him, Eunuch Ying saw that Song Heng's face was about to crack, and said helplessly: "The emperor has been in a coma for two days, last time there was a lot of noise, all the palaces and courtyards got the news and rushed over to ask for sickness. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comforted this one, scolded that one, finally sent all the ladies and princes back, and then made a big fuss about the ministers who took turns to face the saints.

Eunuch Ying's words really touched the heart of the prince, seeing Song Heng's expression was enough to feel aggrieved.

It's not easy for him, the prince has been doing it for so many years, and only this year he looks like a prince.

Hearing this, Song Heng's expression could not help but slow down, thinking that he was in a hurry.

"Of course, Uncle Guo also has a heavy burden on him. You have to take care of disaster relief and appeasement. You are dedicated to serving the country and the people. It is strange that the emperor attaches great importance to it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also forgive me."

"Uncle worked hard." The prince said.

Eunuch Ying appeased each other, and finally he was able to speak properly.

Song Heng then asked: "What happened to make the prince so flustered?"

Speaking of this, Eunuch Ying's face was slightly stagnant. He went out and asked the little eunuch to close the gate of the palace. After standing guard outside the gate, he came back and said: "Uncle Guo is busy with disasters. I don't know. Since the courtiers asked the emperor to punish him, the emperor ordered him The dark guards are keeping an eye on Prince Cheng's residence."

"Prince Cheng?" Song Heng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head to look at Eunuch Ying.

Seeing that Song Heng had thought of the key point, Eunuch Ying couldn't help but sighed in his heart, and continued: "It is said that Dilong's turnaround is caused by the emperor's stupidity and morality. But uncle Guo should know that the emperor has always been diligent in government and caring for the people. Work hard. The old slave has been with the driver for many years, so he can see it more clearly. It is common for papers to be approved late at night, so there is nothing to blame."

Song Heng nodded.

"But such a disaster, if the emperor is innocent, who is to blame?"

Song Heng said: "It's just a coincidence."

Eunuch Ying smiled, "Uncle Guo understands people. However, there are too few people like you, or there are not many who are willing to speak clearly. Otherwise, the ministers would not ask the emperor to punish themselves."

"No one knows whether the Edict of Guilt is useful or not, but it's just a formality, giving a reason for the natural disaster, and appeasing the world." Song Heng said.

Yinggong said, "You can punish yourself, what if the disaster happens again? Even if you go through a formality, it will go into people's hearts. Throughout the emperor's ascension to the throne, if there is any criticism from others, the only thing that has been canonized by the late emperor's decree .Once the disaster strikes again, won’t people think about it?”

Song Heng frowned and said, "But that was already 30 years ago."

Eunuch Ying looked at him with a wry smile and said: "If the emperor is in good health, he would not be afraid, but his time is running out. Now that the heavy rain has fallen, if the disease reappears... Once the epidemic breaks out, for the sake of safety, we can only temporarily Leave Beijing, and imprison those who are ill."

"At that time, some people would question the legitimacy of the father's throne, and attribute the natural disaster to the inappropriate acquisition of the throne, and it was the request of the heavens to return the throne to King Cheng." The prince continued.

Finally Song Heng asked: "So what exactly did Prince Cheng's Palace do?"

Mr. Ying said: "In the early morning of this morning, Prince Cheng's Mansion sent many fast horses towards the east and west gates."

"East and west gates?"

Eunuch Ying nodded, "Yes."

"Cut it off?"

"As soon as the dark guards noticed the movement, they immediately followed, but those were all dead soldiers with high martial arts skills. They finally killed several of them and captured two, but one escaped, and a letter was found from them. blood book."

Eunuch Ying said as he took out the blood book and handed it to Song Heng.

Song Heng looked down and frowned even tighter. The blood book was stamped with King Cheng's private seal, which was not wrong, but he still felt strange.

"Do you have the two confessions you caught?"

Eunuch Ying said: "Yes, it is said that King Cheng ordered to desperately bring the blood book back to the fief, and I don't know about the rest."

"Jinzhou is to the east, so why go to the west gate?"

Mr. Ying said: "Those who escaped went to the west city gate."

Song Heng put away the blood book and returned it to Mr. Ying: "Although everything points to King Cheng, I always feel that it is not that simple. King Cheng's family is in the capital. If he does this, he will not be afraid that the emperor will kill him in a fit of anger? Instead of Saying that King Cheng has such a heart, I believe that someone is playing tricks, right, what about King Qi?"

The crown prince said: "Brother Qi Wang still asked to be ordered to serve the sick father today, but he was only thinking that he is not young, so he was sent back."

Song Heng glanced at him when he heard the words, but didn't speak.

Eunuch Ying thought for a while and said: "Since the emperor ordered Qi Wang to be crowned, he has let go of all errands, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the court."

Only then did the prince react and said, "Uncle is suspicious..."

"Don't act rashly, since the other party has already made a move, there will be other news coming soon, just wait."

Yinggong said: "This old slave also thinks so, so he hasn't asked the crown prince to order to surround Cheng Cheng's mansion. We have to wait until the emperor wakes up to make a decision."

As soon as this remark came out, Song Heng knew that no matter whether King Cheng had such a heart or not, his days were over.

But Song Heng didn't care about the life and death of King Cheng, he came here to ask for his life to burn his body.

However, the crown prince shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to make an order, but that the cabinet won't approve it at all. Although I supervise the country, such matters related to human relations must be approved by the cabinet before they can be acted on."

The crown prince is not the emperor after all, but if the cabinet passes it, the day lily will be cold.

Eunuch Ying suggested: "Uncle Guo, why don't you go back first, the old servant has been guarding the emperor, if he wakes up, I will ask the emperor to issue an order."

The prince also nodded.

Song Heng had no choice but to leave the palace first.
