doctor knife in hand

"Epidemic, that's an epidemic! Throughout history, every time an epidemic breaks out, thousands or even ten thousand people must die to calm it down. The emperor is the ruler of the world, and he has a heavy responsibility, let alone standing under a dangerous wall!"

"Master Feng, do you mean to invite the emperor to leave the palace and leave the capital, ignoring the people in the capital, and take refuge?" This tone must be that of Master Yang, who is very talkative.

"My lord Yang, now that the disaster is ahead, I will not quarrel with you. For the sake of the country, the emperor must put the overall situation first."

Yang Xingxing said: "What is the overall situation? The emperor sits in the palace and stabilizes the hearts of the people. Isn't this the overall situation? But just after the epidemic was discovered, Song Daren had already ordered people to isolate the sick people, and Dr. Lu led the doctors to work hard. To cure the epidemic, if the emperor leads civil and military officials to leave Beijing at this time, where will these people be placed? Where will the people in Beijing be placed?"

"Master Yang, you seem to trust Lu Jin too much, don't you?" Master Feng sneered, "It will take three days for the earth dragon to stand up, and the heavy rain will come. At that time, Lu Jin said that he must prevent the epidemic, and almost used the caustic soda in the entire capital and herbs, and burned a lot of corpses, none of these people were buried in the ground! I never thought that I would give them what they wanted, but finally the disease appeared. This... Mr. Song, should you give it to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty? An explanation?"

"That's right, he's just a country doctor. Although he saved many people, he obeyed his orders in such a big disaster. Even the imperial doctor couldn't call him. It seems too much, right?" Several adults agreed. Written by Feng Shangshu.

Since the disaster began, Song Heng hadn't had a normal night's sleep. He is a military general, and he was used to the fatigue of marching and fighting, but Lu Jin was different. He lost weight several times and tried to think of a way.

Although Song Heng was used to the phenomenon of shirking and taking credit for things in the officialdom, but when it really fell on Lu Jin, he was still angry in his heart.

"My lords, I won't say what is called the way of officials serving the people. Dilong turned himself up to now, everyone present, has anyone visited the disaster area to see the situation, and has anyone expressed condolences to the soldiers and doctors who have worked so hard on the front line? Who has asked the Fu Yin about the progress of the rescue in the disaster area? Has anyone known the real cause of the epidemic? How many family members of the adults present are now queuing up at the gate of the city and waiting to leave the city? Do you need me to call in the guard of the city gate to ask? ?”

Song Heng was busy, and since Lu Jin shaved his beard on the eve of the rainstorm, he never had that free time.

Now he has a messy beard, and looks irritable due to a lot of work, he has lost his old demeanor, and looks a little fierce. He asked repeatedly, "I have never been to the disaster area, I have never seen many doctors, and I have never cared about the patients. If you don’t take the life and death of the common people into consideration, you are not qualified to discuss with me whether everything that Lu Jin has done is worthwhile, whether it is correct or not. I only know that when the disaster happened, it was he who led all the doctors day and night Treat all the wounded. When the rainstorm comes, it is he who foretells that the disease may occur after the rain, and plans to take action. When someone is sick, he goes deep into the alleys and streets, and goes to the dirty, messy, and sick places Only by checking the specific situation can the patients be isolated quickly and prevent the outbreak of the epidemic from endangering the entire capital. He put his own life and death aside just to save one more person, but the doctor who rushed to the forefront like this has to be ignorant of medicine. Those who know medicine, don't understand disasters, have no mercy, hide when things happen, and shirk responsibility, all of you who are masters, explain to each other? Explain what? Tell me what to explain?"

Song Heng almost roared, but he still remembered that this was the court hall. He wiped his face, faced Emperor Wen of Chu, and knelt down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for your disrespect in front of the palace. But now is the critical moment, and I think the most important thing is to control the disease and prevent more people from getting infected."

Feng Shangshu and the others were a little startled by Song Heng's appearance, but because Song Heng lost his usual calmness, he insisted on insisting on his own opinion, so he said quickly: "Your Majesty, although the ministers and others did not go to the disaster area, they are still thinking about you all the time. The people in that side, the minister is the minister of the Ministry of punishment, who doesn't understand medicine and medicine, so he can donate money and materials as usual to tide over the difficulties for the people in that side. But just because the minister doesn't understand these things, he is not qualified to ask why the epidemic is happening produced?"

Upon hearing this, Yang and his party quickly asked: "Then, my lords, even if Lu Jin is held accountable, is there a better person to take up the task of treating the epidemic?"

The epidemic is comparable to a scourge, and now even the hospital officials dare not say that it can be cured, except for Lu Jin, who can?

No one can!

"That's why I implore the emperor to leave the capital! The great Chu country is tied to the emperor's prince, and the clan, the royal family and even all the important officials are all in the capital. This is really too dangerous!"

Feng Shangshu knelt down, and all the officials behind him knelt down.

In this situation, it is clear at a glance what everyone is planning.

Finally the prince stood up, "No, I can't go alone." He said firmly, "The capital is only half a month away from the northern border, and the Qiang and Rong invaded frequently. Once the northern border is lost, the capital will be in danger. In history, there were still soldiers in the Great Chu." At the gate of the city. But why did Tai Zu set his capital here? Isn’t it because the emperor needs to guard the gate of the country? How can he escape? Father and son believe in Master Song and Doctor Lu, they will definitely stop the epidemic!”

"His Royal Highness!" Feng Shangshu said sadly, "Do you know the horror of the epidemic? In the past, Shou'an City, a prosperous place, flooded and the epidemic broke out. Tens of thousands of people died of the epidemic. It became an empty city in one month. Haven't recovered yet! The ministers and others are unwilling to leave the capital, but Jiangshan Sheji, this can't be used as a bet!"

The prince pursed his lips and said: "I know, but the matter is not so serious. If you leave Beijing just because you are afraid, you will be ridiculed in the world. You don't need others, even yourself will look down on yourself." After coming out, Song Heng's expression suddenly eased.

No matter what faults the prince has, it is enough that he is not confused in front of big right and wrong.

"What the prince said is true, I am very pleased." Finally, Emperor Wen of Chu spoke. Although his face was flushed abnormally, his eyes were cold and sharp, "The capital is the only place where the emperor lives. The city is here, and the emperor is here." , the city perishes, and the emperor perishes. A small plague, but it just came up, and he ran up and down in fright. With such courage, how can you be an official? If all my loves don’t want to be with me, it’s better to resign Just leave."

After the words of Emperor Wen of Chu, no one said anything more.

"Aheng, the epidemic is vicious. Although I am willing to be with the capital, if I let it ravage and infect the people, I will have to part with it. Do you have a rule in mind?"

Hearing this, Song Heng took out a memorial, presented it above his head and said: "Your Majesty, the prevention plan that Lu Jin discussed with many doctors is here, whether it is in the palace or the place of the ministers, it must be disinfected and prevented according to this. You don't have to worry, besides the village doctor Lu Jin, several imperial physicians have also approved this plan. The epidemic is so terrible, I don't think you will be willful and refuse to follow it?"

"But what if the disease still spreads? I heard that there is no medicine to cure it."

"Lu Jin is developing it, but if there is no medicine, it is not impossible. Keep the sick person away from the crowd, die or burn it to eliminate all sources of disease. Therefore, please make an order from the emperor. Once a sick person is found everywhere, it must be dealt with immediately. Take it to the isolation area, and other people who come into contact with it will also need to go into separate observation—no matter who it is.”

Song Heng's last words made everyone's hearts tremble, and they couldn't help but look up at Emperor Chu Wen.

The emperor's hand holding the armrest suddenly tightened, and then he said a word, "Quite".

It is a good thing that the whole capital is busy with epidemic prevention and control.

Officers and soldiers beat gongs everywhere to announce that if anyone finds symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, chills, or fainting, they must report them. Neighbors will supervise each other and do not hide them.

Then the corners of the street, where the dirt is concentrated, were also filled with caustic soda water for disinfection.

Although it was true that no sick person was found in a short period of time, it made people panic. I don't know when, a saying spread among the people.

"My family has been in the capital for several generations. Since the previous dynasty, I have never seen an earth dragon turn over, and it is so big, so many people died! After turning over, it rained again, and now the epidemic has risen. Alas, there are many disasters. Difficult, never before."

"No, it's said that God got angry and made us feel bad."

"Why, we didn't do anything!"

"What bad things can we little people do to make God so angry?"

"You mean... hey, but didn't the emperor issue an edict to sin against himself?" One person said in a low voice.

"It's true that it's down, but it's useless, isn't it, isn't the disease coming back?"

"I heard it was insincere. That master did something wrong, and his repentance was not sincere enough. God is not satisfied."

"Huh? What's that?"

"My nephew who was the little commander of the imperial army said that this matter is quite troublesome. Several years ago, it was said that the former emperor's favorite was Prince Cheng, but for some reason, someone changed it, and the current emperor succeeded to the throne. of."

"You are crazy, dare to say that!"

"Hey hey, everyone said that, so I just said it casually, I didn't arrange it."

"I've heard that too. That's what happened. Prince Cheng's mansion is still surrounded, and it seems to be going badly."

"So that's the case, so what should we do?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's been so many years, isn't King Cheng also living a good life, what a grievance, it will make God angry."

"Hey, what do you know? When the emperor first succeeded to the throne, do you know how many ministers were killed? My grandfather said that there was no time when the market at Caishikou was not popular. How wronged you are!"

"But why is the punishment lowered now?"

"Oh, I heard that the old emperor is dying..."

"what!"

"So, if you don't...what the grown-ups said, anyway, there is no way to stop this epidemic."

"My God, this is not a joke, the disease, if you catch it, you will die!"

"Yeah, people often die in the quarantine area, and then they are burned out in a fire. Ouch, it's too miserable."

"If it burns out, I can't be reincarnated. I, I can't get sick. The emperor is already at this age, so I just...then it's better to go back."

"Fuck, who wants to sit on that chair, the lives of us little people are worth sitting on that chair."

"Yao Shou!"

"Don't say it, don't say it, the officers and soldiers are here, they are all scattered, they are scattered!"

……

These rumors and gossips started from nowhere, and there were whispers among the people, ministers and even the army.

The occurrence of this epidemic was unknowingly attributed to Emperor Wen of Chu's tampering with the edict and seizing the emperor who did not belong to him, which caused the dissatisfaction of the heavens.Because of unorthodox, Emperor Wen of Chu is a false emperor, not protected by the Dragon Qi, and will eventually be expelled from Beijing.

And the only way to eliminate the epidemic is to give up the throne to King Cheng and make things right.

Although this seemingly reasonable rumor is actually nonsense, through the handwriting of someone with a heart, the voice of King Cheng's succession is getting louder and louder.

King Cheng's mansion was pushed to the forefront in an instant. Under the fire, King Cheng had no choice but to beg for the face saint, but the emperor refused him.

This time's refusal made Prince Cheng's mansion crumbling like a building about to collapse.
