Chapter 198: The Decree of the Minister
The palace was plagued by rats, which was caused by the palace maids and eunuchs dumping the leftovers indiscriminately, and rats could be seen everywhere in the sewage area of the inner courtyard of the palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info And these rats are not afraid of people, even if someone passes by, they swagger to stay or walk through.
The original unclean place was a remote corner, and the bedroom of the emperor and the concubines was not affected in any way. The cause was a gluttonous palace maid who accidentally ate something that had been bitten by a rat, causing a high fever and dying. One has not attracted attention, but when such things happened one after another, it finally attracted the attention of Huizong.
After a check, it was found that the huge palace was surrounded by a group of rats, and Huizong was furious. The hospital quickly gave a treatment plan, and the rat poison they prepared was very effective, but this group of rats had been at ease for too long and had no sense of vigilance, and their corpses were all over the field in an instant, and they were burned clean by a fire.
The matter has come to an end, and the nobles who originally sprinkled the "poisonous rat strong" in the dormitory every day to sleep peacefully finally put down their hearts, and every time they groom in the mirror, they only hope that His Majesty will be happy.
That is said to be Huizong's Linxing Qionghua Palace, Qin Zhaoyi.
After serving a furnace of Xindan, Song Huizong, who was refreshed, had just taken a sedan chair to the outside of Qionghua Hall when he heard a scream. The person who screamed was Qin Zhaoyi.
She learned in advance that Huizong would come over, and prepared a table of wine and food for the order, including dumplings made by herself. And the palace maid who helped put the dishes on the table was originally a little uncomfortable, but she just had some fever and didn't take it to heart. But just now, there was a violent cough, and he actually coughed up a mouthful of blood, all of which was sprayed on the food and Qin Zhaoyi's face.
When Huizong came in, he happened to see this scene. Even the little eunuch who originally wanted to accuse her of losing her honor quietly shut up and didn't dare to say a word.
"Doctor Xuan." Huizong almost squeezed these three words out between his teeth. The little eunuch trembled when he heard this, and ran out.
Qin Zhaoyi, who didn't care about wiping the blood stains on her face, fell to her knees in fright, and the palace maid fainted on the ground and didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
A wave of unevenness has risen again and again.
The imperial doctor has not yet found out the cause of the palace maid's death, Qin Zhaoyi is unwell and fell ill, and at first she also had a low-grade fever, no matter what medicine she used, the fever did not go away. Instead, he began to cough even worse.
What made the entire palace most noisy was that even the imperial doctor who treated Qin Zhaoyi was infected with the same disease. Individual eunuchs and palace maids who had contact with the palace maids of Qionghua Palace also showed such symptoms one after another.
The word plague began to circulate in the palace.
The imperial physician finally found a small wound on the palace maid's body, not like a sharp weapon, but as if it had been bitten by something. It's a mouse!
An argument that can withstand scrutiny prevails in the palace, saying that it was a fish that slipped through the net in the previous rat plague and came back for revenge.
The three imperial physicians who had treated the plague in Yueyang or received a commendation from Huizong bore the brunt of the epidemic and were pushed out to treat the epidemic. One of them claimed to be sick, and was directly pushed outside the palace gate by the angry Huizong and beheaded.
The remaining two had nothing but quarantine and prevention measures, but could do nothing about the plague patients. There are more than 200 people living in a palace, some of whom have been diagnosed, and some of whom may be infected if they have been in contact with them.
Everyone in the inner courtyard of the palace is in danger, and even the early dynasty has been suspended. Sun Dingxi, as a feudal official, did not go to the court without special circumstances, so there was no way to know the changes in the palace.
The two imperial doctors finally couldn't stand the great mental pressure, and confessed that when they were in Yueyang, the doctor in charge was Wuda, and they were only assisting from the side.
So there was Chen Xiao's trip to Beijing.
If Lin Bao knew the situation in the palace the moment he received a vote, he would definitely be able to throw himself into the five bodies that Lin Bao admired. Because if it were him, he might have taken the opportunity to leave the palace a long time ago.
It's a pity that in ancient times, the imperial power was prosperous, the hierarchy was strict, and there were capital punishments such as raiding the family and destroying the nine clans, so who dared to easily have rebellious thoughts. What's more, the one who came to pass the word with Lin Bao this time was accompanied by two Ouchi guards.
For about twenty years along the way, Lin Bao didn't say a word to Chen Xiao except for a few words of greeting. Tight-lipped to the point of outrageousness.
However, the two inner guards were less thoughtful, once Chen Xiao took advantage of Lin Bao to go to bed early in the inn, Chen Xiao invited the two to drink, and it took three rounds of drinking to get some useful information.
There was a serious epidemic in the palace. Rao drank too much wine, and the word plague was even more terrifying, but the two of them held back. After hearing what the two of them said, Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, there was still a large package of Roaring Sky Dog Synthetic Elixir in his inventory, no matter what kind of epidemic he faced, he was full of confidence.
As soon as he arrived at Bianliang, he didn't make any stops, and the carriage went straight to the imperial city.
The palace arrived.
The carriage was parked five miles away, and the rest of the way had to be walked. Except for a very small number of veterans and elderly central officials, no one can ride a horse or sit in a sedan chair in this section. It is the royal family and nobles, and they have to get off the horse and get off the sedan chair.
The majestic palace as far as the eye can see is the Great Song Palace. When facing this imperial city that occupies an area of unknown land and has a golden roof and red gates, Chen Xiao was shocked to realize that those so-called magnificent, grandiose, solemn and other words could not be described.
Maybe you can appreciate the well-repaired and well-preserved Miyagi in reality, but without the awe of the times, you can't appreciate the shock of Chen Xiao at that moment.
Chen Xiao didn't know that the moment he stepped into the palace, the first rich and handsome man in the Great Song Dynasty was already beckoning to him from afar.
Song Huizong met Chen Xiao in the Zichen Palace.
He was wearing a bright yellow robe instead of a dragon robe, and Chen Xiao never looked up at him except for a very quick glance at the literary emperor at the beginning. I'm afraid of being dragged out and beheaded! He was about forty years old, and he looked ordinary, but he was not graceful. It was Sun Dingxi who was sitting with him, and Chen Xiao could also tell at a glance that he was Song Huizong. It has a lot to do with the fact that he can make a decision in this country, and his open-mindedness is naturally not comparable to that of a mere prefect.
"Minister Wuda, I have seen the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live, long live. ”
"Ai Qing is flat. Sure enough, since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and I see that you are in your early teens, and you can cure the plague, goodness, and great goodness. Song Huizong said with undisguised joy. It has always been someone else who has figured out his thoughts, and he is dignified, so why should he endure it when he is happy.
"Back to the emperor, Weichen has three out of twenty this year. As for curing the plague, it was the three imperial doctors who made great contributions, and the emperor praised them falsely. Chen Xiao said respectfully. He obviously hasn't forgotten the original agreement, he has to do things after receiving benefits, and Chen Daguan is definitely a particular person. It's just that he didn't know that one of the three imperial doctors had been beheaded, and the other two had already confessed and forgived.
Song Huizong glanced at him strangely, but he didn't say anything, but asked, "Wuda, do you know why I passed you into Beijing this time?" ”
Chen Xiao, who was trained by Director Chen, had full marks in his acting skills, and he shook his head and said, "Weichen doesn't know." ”
"I want you to cure the plague in this imperial city!" Song Huizong was imposing.
As if throwing Lin Bao's words out of the clouds, Chen Xiao said extremely firmly: "The minister's order!" ”
