Kangxi got up early and was about to recruit someone to serve and wash, when he saw Li Dequan hurriedly walking into the dormitory, he went straight to the bedside and asked Kangxi to say goodbye, he didn't dare to have any delay, and immediately said the latest situation about the "hot poison" incident.

"The slave got the news that those patients were really spotted as Brother Jiu said."

...... "What did you say?" Kangxi hasn't come back to his senses yet, this news is really shocking. Yesterday, when I heard Yinyu talk about it, he felt that it made sense, so he specially called a few senior people from the Tai Hospital and asked them what they meant. These so-called authoritative figures are all in the same mouth, and they all say that this is impossible, it must be a hot poison, and no matter how bad it is, it is also a mutated hot poison.

Hehe.

Isn't this the plague?

Must it be hot poison?

My grass, whose hot poison is still spotted?

Kangxi was not well, he rubbed his forehead, and asked again, "What is the situation?" Is there a saying from the hospital? How long will it take to bring the situation under control? "The earth has already made him much talked, and he has struggled to save the trust of the people under the best efforts to save it, and the successive plagues will not only make the previous efforts fail, but also make the people who are waiting for the imperial court to come to the rescue to resist strongly.

The ground movement is only a moment, and everything will be fine if you can escape, and the plague is what really shakes the hearts of the people, and no one knows how long it will take for the Tai Hospital to find a way to resist...... I don't even know if I'll be infected. There are always some perverts in this world who want to piggyback on others when something happens to them.

As long as he thought of what might happen next, Kangxi's scalp was numb, "Let the Tai Hospital do its best to find a way to resist and bring Zou Qi to me." "The first doctor of the Kangxi Dynasty was not called in vain, compared with his colleagues in the Tai Hospital, he had a more solid theory, and he also mastered some theories and skills of Western medicine while integrating traditional Chinese medicine, which was obtained after communicating with missionaries and foreign painters in the palace.

The plague of the Qing Dynasty is what the West calls infectious/virus, and the plague is simply the dirt on the rat body that enters the human body and mutates to a certain extent. Yesterday, when Yinyu mentioned this possibility, Zou Qi thought that if it was really a plague as he said, the number of dead people might exceed the total number of previous times, and it might even shake the foundation of the country.

Not all Han people are sincerely convinced, and there are also "remnants" of the former dynasty who pretend to surrender and wait for the opportunity to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, for them, this opportunity is simply too rare.

Zou Qi knew how serious the problem was, and he tried his best to express his meaning in simple terms, which probably meant that this was a new epidemic that had never appeared in the past, and there was no way to prevent and combat it for the time being, and they needed to observe further and do some experiments. This statement was difficult for Kangxi to accept, and what he wanted to hear was the words "the situation is under control", and Zou Qi shattered his last illusion.

"How is this time better than before?"

“…… I'm afraid it's the most serious one in this dynasty. ”

"How many people do you think will be able to make it?"

"According to the proportion of the first batch of infections and the speed of spread, if a way to resist is found within seven days, the death rate is less than 10%, and if it is half a month, 30%; The longer it is delayed, the more serious the situation becomes...... "What Zou Qi wants to say is that you called Lao Tzu over and said that there is a bird for these?" Even the real reason for the outbreak of the plague is not clear, how can he, as the first imperial physician of this dynasty, be absent at such a critical time? Thinking like this in his heart, of course he couldn't say it casually, Zou Qi patiently answered all the questions raised by Kangxi, so that this layman had a general grasp of the situation.

If left unchecked, the people of the capital can die in half a month, and this number makes Kangxi tremble.

The plague was not so severe.

"Can the source of the plague be found?"

"Not really."

"Yesterday, Yinyu mentioned the earth movement a while ago, and he thought that was the beginning of the tragedy."

"......" The Ninth Master always has channels to find out some □□ that others don't know, and when he heard Kangxi say this, Zou Qi fell into deep thought. He had been a doctor for so many years, and he had studied the plague, but he had not thought of it with the earth.

One is the collapse of a house and kills people, and the other is the infection of the virus that causes the body to deteriorate from the inside out.

Two completely different concepts.

"The minister doesn't understand, please open your mouth and don't hesitate to teach."

It's strange that Kangxi can know, when Yinyu talked about it yesterday, he just said that it was just speculation, probably related to the movement of the earth, and it is difficult to say what it is. Kangxi doesn't like to listen to this kind of speculative remarks, as an emperor, he likes to look at the evidence in front of him, and then judge how to sentence people, what does it sound like if there is no basis?

This is why although he remembered that Yinyu said such a thing, he didn't know the reason for the detailed explanation.

It would be embarrassing to say that he didn't know, Kangxi said without pressure: "This is not something that can be explained clearly in just a few words, you go and ask Lao Jiu, he has a lot of opinions about this plague." "It's not important to kill now, the most important thing is to control the situation and prevent him from spreading, after sending Zou Qi away, Kangxi issued the first decree after confirming the outbreak of the plague: "Stop the court, close the palace gate, and idle people are not allowed to enter." ”

As long as it is a powerful minister, they have eyeliner in the palace, they learned the details of the situation as soon as possible, and they also learned from Kangxi, and immediately closed the door of the mansion after hoarding food, refusing to communicate with the outside.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.

Every time it happens, the idea of the equality of all beings is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In the face of natural disasters, whether it is a minister or a common person, it is the same...... There is no distinction between the high and the low.

As long as you are infected with the plague, it is useless to eat well and dress well, have thousands of family wealth, and countless wives and concubines, either survive or die.

The probabilities are all the same.

Because of this...... There is a strange phenomenon among the people, they are indeed worried that they will be the next person to be infected, and at the same time, there is a great sense of happiness, and those arrogant and domineering second ancestors do not dare to come out. The status is noble and low, but the weight of human life is the same, the guillotine is a knife that will die, and the plague basically does not live for a month.

You say that some people have survived the burn?

That's too little.

Less than enough to shake the big picture.

The Nine Gates Admiral Yamen was designated as the sole partner of the Tai Hospital, and they "invited" a few people who had survived the hospital to dictate what they had eaten and what they had done after the fever. I want to extract useful information from it, or find a medicine that can fight the virus.

This approach is very scientific, but it is not going well.

What have you eaten?

Isn't it just the gruel and coarse bread returned by white-collar workers, is it possible that there are still delicacies from the mountains and seas?

What has been done?

Go to the infirmary to grab medicine to drink, and there is nothing else.

……

After summarizing, all I got was like this, gruel and steamed buns for the government's disaster relief? …… There are so many people who eat, why didn't others survive it? Could it be that rice noodles can still resist the invasion of viruses? Stop it.

The progress of the Tai Hospital was not smooth, and the officials and gentlemen were even more nervous, not only the door was closed, but even the food was saved to eat, for fear that the family would be emptied before the end of the plague, and it was difficult to avoid being killed by illness, but it was unbearable to starve to death in the house.

In his position, seek his government.

Most of the officials have an idea, depending on the direction of the wind in the palace and the arrangement of the Long Live Lord.

The situation of the brothers is similar, if it is confirmed that they are not infected, they can enter and exit the palace gate, but there is a limit to the number of times, and they cannot enter and exit at any time. Kangxi is really not good, there have been accidents in the capital one after another, and he finally survived the movement, and there was a plague, which is simply a rhythm that forces people to death. He was not easy, he reigned for forty-seven years, boasted that he had never done anything unconscionable, and even sought a lot of benefits for the people, reduced taxes, and listened carefully to their opinions.

As an emperor, he is simply rare and approachable, but he has been so bumpy along the way.

Rumors are flying all over the sky outside, and the people of the third prince of Zhu have started to make trouble again, and the heaven and earth will not be at ease, and the palace is not necessarily very good. Although there was no illness for the time being, the harem concubines were too ignorant, first crying to see their son, and some wanted to take this opportunity to let their rivals be infected with the plague and die violently. They didn't want to think about what the palace gate was closed for...... Didn't you just want to isolate the palace from the outer city?

Kangxi seriously dealt with those concubines who were not scheming, and asked Zou Qi for questioning, and the answer he got was that the situation was still very tricky, and he had not found a solution yet, because too many people had gathered in the hospital before, and with the unified distribution of disaster relief food, many infected people still persevered in coming out to receive gruel despite their physical condition.

Zou Qi had already looked for Lao Jiu and asked him if he knew something, Yin Yu raised his eyebrows and asked him rhetorically: "The Tai Hospital is the authority, what can the master know?" ”

One sentence almost made him angry to death, this is how the ninth elder brother Yinyu holds a grudge, but fortunately, when the long-lived master asked for his opinion, although he hesitated, he also agreed with the ninth master's point of view, for the sake of this face, Yinyu was relieved.

"There is another person who proposes the possibility of a plague."

“…… Could it be Jia Fang Fujin? ”

That's the truth, but will Yinyu tell him?

No, of course not.

He sat on the chair with his legs crossed, and said leisurely: "How could the woman in the house think of this, it is my family's ingots." He found a copy out of nowhere, saying that he wanted to learn the medical principles of the Lin family in order to overcome the disease-ridden people and let them return to health. It mentions this possibility, but after a natural disaster, there is a fear of a human disaster...... This plague was not brought by rats, but was self-inflicted. ”

Zou Qi knows who the ingots are, isn't it the Hongxiang brother who is quite favored by the long-lived lord, I heard that he is very knowledgeable, and he also walks sideways in the upper study...... He actually learned medical skills, and he had insights beyond common sense.

"The minister doesn't understand, please teach the ninth master."

This attitude is not bad, Yinyu nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It has only been less than a month since the earth moved, and the capital is not the center of the disaster, but it has also been affected a lot, of course, the main thing is that the houses have collapsed, and the dead and injured are still within the acceptable range." ”

What's so special about that?

It is exactly the same as the report made by the ministers in the court a while ago.

"Of course the consequences of the earth movement know that this is related to the plague?"

"Think about it, the capital is a prosperous and rich place, and even here has been so affected, so is Beizhili, which is in the center of the ground movement, more serious?" The ground moved more, the houses became more dilapidated, and the result was, of course, more serious collapses. Zou Qi did not object to this statement, "And then? ”

"I got the story that several cities in Beizhili are in ruins, and less than half of the people who have escaped from the ground movement are alive. There are so many people who have died, and those who have survived are busy looking for a place to live and eat, do you know what I mean? Those tens of thousands of corpses are just like that, and now they are in the sky, and they will be transformed in less than five days...... This time, of course, it was not the plague, it was a corpse plague. The locals were quickly infected, and within half a month, the capital was also implicated, isn't it a matter of course? ”

(⊙_⊙)

It is indeed very logical and completely explainable, but it is a situation that he did not expect at all.

Zou Qi was stunned for a long time, as if he was digesting this statement, "You already knew? ”

Yin Yu shook his right index finger: "After I heard Yuan Bao mention it, I went into the palace and told Huang Ama, as for the result, you know the whole process." ”

...... "Hehe, such a big thing, is it time to lose your temper?"

Those unlucky colleagues in the Tai Hospital don't believe that he can explain, so who can refute these words? Why not? Zou Qi didn't understand what Yinyu was thinking, but he didn't dare to question it, and reluctantly accepted such a statement. It was already a surprise to be able to get an explanation, and if they relied on their own strength, they would still be headless flies at this time, and they would not be able to find the way.

The earth moved and killed people—whether they were buried or buried—the weather was great, and the corpses changed—the epidemic spread—endangered the capital.

The idea could not be clearer, and the persuasiveness could not be stronger.

"What advice do you have on how to deal with this plague?"

"Yes, first of all, we must find the medicine to restrain it."

"What is it?"

"If I had known that I had said it earlier, but well, all things are mutually reinforcing, and there is always something to suppress it in the birthplace of corpse poison, and if anyone dares to investigate, there should be results."

“……”

This statement is also too general, the birthplace is, of course, somewhere in the center of the ground movement in Beizhili, where there are already corpses all over the field, and it is estimated that no one can cooperate in the investigation, and it is just a waste of time to send people to death.

Zou Qi didn't think to say anything, and Yinyu spoke again: "If I know how to overcome it, what will the hospital do?" How do you say that? Professionalism is trustworthy! I'm just thinking, don't take it seriously, Lord Zou. ”

Hehe.

Reluctantly swallowing this breath, Zou Qi said politely: "Can you borrow it?" ”

Yin Yu said with a face full of shame: "Yuan Bao said that only what he knows can be called cheats, so ...... After successfully memorizing the medical book, that thing will be burned to ashes and no longer exists, it's useless for you to be in a hurry, who can be so thick that you can acquiesce. After confirming that it was a plague, the master asked the kid, and I told you all the things mentioned above, the corpse plague has not been there for hundreds of years, and no matter how powerful the Lin family is, it is impossible to give examples and ways to restrain it. According to the master, you will truthfully tell Huang Ama the principle of mutual restraint, this decision is not something you and I can do. ”

Send someone to Beizhili to investigate...... This is an exchange of life for an answer, except for Long Live Lord, who would dare to make a decision?

Zou Qi sighed, got up to say goodbye, he fed back useful information to Kangxi, and what he got was also a long silence.

The efforts of the Tai Hospital have not worked, and no useful information has been extracted from those who have survived the fever period, so the murderous life-for-life method that Yinyu said has become the most practical choice.

Let whom?

Who would want to go after learning the truth?

After understanding the whole situation, Kangxi sent Zou Qi out, he did not look for Yinyu, but invited the fifth child, as the commander of the palace secret guard, he has the most say on this issue.

Thinking about the consequences of dragging it out, this decision is not difficult.

Yinqi took over the task and immediately summoned the palace guards to tell them about the situation. If it drags on, no one will survive, so it's better to give it a go, whoever dares to take the order to go, even if he fails to make a contribution, he can let the family outside get shade.

Take out this bargaining chip, and the progress will be there, although I know that this trip is nine deaths, there are still many people who ask for help.

"I don't want any benefit, I'll go voluntarily!"

"The Commander let me go! My wife in my family will please you! ”

"I'll go too! We are eating the emperor's food, so we should share our worries and solve problems for the Lord of Long Life! ”

……

This situation was something that Yinqi didn't expect, he didn't make a decision immediately, but went to Lao Jiu's house, and his own brother understood by himself, according to Huang Ama's meaning, the inference of corpse plague was made by him, and he also put forward the key clue of mutual growth and mutual restraint. Yinqi felt that Lao Jiu had more information than that, and he had to ask before sending someone out to feel at ease.

Yinqi will come to the door, Lao Jiu guessed it.

He was waiting for his brother to come over at the Ryuka Garden.

"Fifth brother wants to ask me, what else do you know? Is there a more definite search direction? ”

All-in! Yinqi nodded.

Yin Yuping withdrew all the minions, leaving only Yuan Chun, and after getting an answer from the ghost, and making sure that all the minions were clean and it was absolutely impossible to eavesdrop, he spoke: "There are some things that can't be known to the Tai Hospital, and neither can Huang Ama, I will say something as my own brother now, and give it to the fifth brother instead of the commander of the dark guard." ”

"You say."

Yinyu took out two bottles from his arms and said: "These two bottles each contain a pill, the black bottle is the antidote, as long as you eat it before the spots, it can exert its medicinal effect, and it is absolutely safe to spend ......" Hearing this, Yinqi was already full of surprise, and he wanted to ask if this was true? Want to know where the pill came from, only one? Reason told him that some questions had predictable answers, and some could not.

He tried his best to restrain his emotions, and his trembling voice still revealed the stirring in his heart.

"What's in the white jade bottle?"

"Returning Yang Dan."

"Literally?"

Yin Yu nodded and said, "As long as the physical body is not destroyed, within seven hundred and forty-nine days after death, if you take this Yang Returning Pill, even if your soul is hooked to the underworld, you can bring it back...... To put it simply, it brings people back from the dead. ”

Stunned, okay.

After becoming the commander of the dark guard, the fifth elder brother who saw that he was getting higher and higher day by day did not slow down.

Where did Lao Jiu get the elixir?

Returning Yang Dan is probably the lifelong pursuit of successive emperors.

“…… Why take it out? You should put away such precious things. ”

"The capital has been surrounded by dead air masses, and it will not happen overnight to find a way to restrain the corpse plague, many people will die this time, and the pill was originally reserved for Eniang and Fifth Brother."

Yinqi's voice was a little hoarse, he didn't reach out to pick it up, but looked at Lao Jiu and asked, "What about you?" How many people do you have in your house? ”

"I'm afraid that the fifth brother has already seen that there is a secret in me, and I can't say anything else, there are three things that my brother wants to tell you. The first is the usefulness of these two pills; Second, my house is blessed; Third, keep the pills alive and don't give them to others. ”

In the face of natural disasters, mortals are pitiful.

Not to mention the people, who can save so many brothers?

Don't donate pills just because you sympathize with others, because no one knows if it's your turn next.

This is a miraculous medicine that money can't buy, and if it is wasted on others, it will be punished.

The author has something to say: I have come back from the countryside, Chongqing has been really hot recently, my hometown because there is usually no one, there is no air conditioning, and I am a non-essential person who never goes out to read books and code words in the house every day.

——

This article is the countdown to the end, to be honest, according to the original plan, I should have to write another two or three hundred thousand words, five days ago I changed the style of painting, and I made up my mind to let Kangxi die.

It is possible that a plague will break out after a flood, mainly because of corpses or floods washed over garbage heaps. Of course, this means that in the past, the defense measures, disaster relief, and site clean-up are too much in place, and the possibility of a second disaster is extremely low.
