Chapter 122: The Epidemic
Rong Qingqian's end, the red candle tent is warm, needless to say, the spring night is short, and the clothes here have a headache because of a hangover, so they also went home early to rest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The next morning, he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door, and when he opened his eyes, he was suddenly stunned by the people around him.
"Yisheng, when did you come?" she didn't even notice it.
"I drank too much wine last night, and I left for you in a daze. "People's instinctive reaction at a certain time is often the most intuitive, Rong Yisheng's first reaction after getting drunk is to go home, and the place where there is clothes is home.
The knocking outside the door kept on, "Lord Wang, my subordinates have something important to report." It was Qian Feng, another personal guard beside Rong Yisheng, knocking on the door outside.
The guards around Rong Yisheng usually know the priorities, and generally no major events will not disturb him easily, especially when he is in the Yi family, today will make Qianfeng so anxious, something big must have happened, Rong Yisheng hurriedly got dressed.
"What's going on?" Rong Yisheng sat down at the table and took a sip of water.
Qian Feng looked at the clothes on the side, knowing what Rong Yisheng meant, so he didn't evade and said: "It seems that the Tai Hospital has found several cases of epidemics, this disease is dangerous, the patients are all swollen necks, the skin has become dark purple and accompanied by high fever, and they will die in one or two days. Now the family members of these deceased have also contracted this disease, and the Tai Hospital is now helpless against this disease, so the Holy Lord urgently summoned several princes back to discuss the matter. ”
Generally speaking, before this kind of epidemic spreads and becomes clear, the people in power are reluctant to report this matter to the world too early, so as not to shake the people's hearts and cause large-scale turmoil and panic, so now only the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital and Emperor Huijing know about this matter.
Emperor Huijing summoned several princes this time, not only with the idea of brainstorming, but also with the idea of comparing the princes.
This matter is not trivial, Rong Yisheng naturally did not dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly packed up and was about to enter the palace to face the saint.
"Yi Sheng, you must not underestimate this epidemic, you must be careful!" Jay Yi hoped that things would not be as she expected, and from Qian Feng's description, Jay Yi vaguely guessed that this epidemic may be the Black Death that we talk about in modern times, also known as the plague, which was called "big head wind" in ancient times, because the lymph behind the neck or ears of plague patients would be abnormally swollen. Then, the patient's arms and thighs, as well as other parts of the body, develop blue-black herpes, which is why modern people also call it the "Black Death".
"Why, worry about me? Don't worry, I won't let you stay alive. Rong Yisheng naturally knew that Yi Yi had always been perceptive, and in order to ease the tense atmosphere, he deliberately said out of tune.
"Well, I'll wait for you, go early and come back early. "It's rare that Jay Yi didn't talk to him once, and Rong Yisheng was a little unaccustomed to it.
In the imperial study, Emperor Huijing and the two prime ministers on the left and right, Prince Duan, the head of the Tai Hospital, and several princes stood with grim expressions.
"I think everyone knows what I am looking for you to do today, so let Imperial Doctor Chen tell you about this epidemic. ”
Doctor Chen is about forty years old, he is the most senior doctor in Tai Hospital, and he is also the head of Tai Hospital, his medical skills are naturally beyond doubt, and what he says is naturally an authority in the medical field.
"The epidemic originated from the hawkers on West Street, and later the hawkers went to East Street to sell goods, and gradually spread among the people of East Street, and there are currently five confirmed cases, and all five patients have died without exception. And their symptoms are the same, the initial symptoms are a lump in the groin or armpits, and then, there will be blue-black herpes on the arms and thighs and other parts of the body, and the disease has a sudden onset, accompanied by chills, fever, vomiting, diarrhea and bleeding in various parts of the body, the deceased has symptoms such as shortness of breath, cyanosis, and systemic failure before his death, and the patient will have a black and purple phenomenon at the end of his illness.
At present, we do not know what this epidemic is, nor do we know its cause, only that it is spreading very quickly, and now many family members of the five patients have been infected with the disease, and this number is still spreading, so the current situation is not optimistic. ”
Imperial Physician Chen had a solemn expression on his face, he had practiced medicine for so many years, it was not that he had never encountered an epidemic, and he had also treated an epidemic with a noble mortality rate like smallpox, but today's symptom is indeed unheard of and unseen.
"This is the situation we know at present, if you have any thoughts and opinions, you can express your own opinions, one person is short-minded, and two people are long-term, and we must stop the spread of this epidemic as soon as possible. "Those in power are most afraid of encountering this invisible enemy, and they don't know where to start, and this is the most terrible.
The right prime minister, Zhang Tian, bowed, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the top priority is to isolate these patients to prevent the disease from spreading further, and also to prevent the news of this epidemic from spreading and causing unnecessary panic among the people." "Now that the war has just been calmed down, it is the time for a hundred ruins to be raised, if it spreads now, it will inevitably attract the covetousness of neighboring countries, and when the time comes, the country will be even more dangerous due to internal and external troubles.
Zhang Tian's words naturally won the unanimous approval of everyone, after all, this method is applicable to any outbreak of the epidemic, and naturally no one has any objections.
"In addition to this, do you have any better way?" After all, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and simple isolation cannot solve the fundamental problem, what Emperor Huijing needs is a solution to the bottom of the kettle.
At this time, King Yao stood up: "Father, Erchen feels that there is something strange about this matter, someone must have offended the gods, so it caused my country to suffer this catastrophe. ”
The ancients were like this, when they encountered unknown things and unsolvable problems, they always liked to attribute them to the heads of the gods.
"What King Yao said is very reasonable, and the minister seconded it. As Rong Yiyao's grandfather, Zhang Tian naturally stood by his side everywhere and supported him unconditionally.
"Father, the sons have different views, the sons feel that there is a disease to treat, we must fully cooperate with the treatment of the hospital, if necessary, we can also visit famous doctors, seek talented people to brainstorm. "The sixth prince Rong Yirui has always been at odds with the second prince, not only a matter of position and interests, but also many times they also have great differences in political opinions, and often disagree.
There is no doubt that Rong Yirui's idea is more realistic, and naturally it has won the affirmation of most people.
Prime Minister Murong Bo has always been neutral, impartial, and only loyal to Emperor Huijing, but this time he also stood on Rong Yirui's side and supported his views. (To be continued.) )
