The mirror is high and majestic.

Hundreds of officials below trembled.

Liu Chen glanced at the ministers on the left and right below, got up from the dragon chair, slowly walked down the stairs, and walked up and down the middle road, inspecting the two columns of officials.

Ladies and gentlemen, the requisition order for medicinal materials has been issued, but it has little effect, why? Liu Chen stopped in front of Cui Shangshu, because those medicinal herb merchants, those pharmacy, in order to make huge profits, regardless of the imperial court's requisition order, regardless of the life and death of thousands of people in the epidemic area, holding on to the medicinal materials, these mercenary businessmen are really hateful, what time is it now, they are embarrassed, but they are still thinking about themselves......

…… Of course, it can't be generalized, there are also a lot of people who are worried about the people of the world, it is said that there is a newly opened medical center, actually donated all the epidemic prevention materials, all Aiqing listened, it is a donation, not a penny, the shopkeeper also said, when in distress, they are willing to contribute a modest force, and also said that although their medical doctors are shallow, if the court needs it, they will definitely go to the epidemic area for treatment.

Liu Chen looked around at everyone and listened, if everyone had such an awareness, why worry about the plague not being eliminated?

Then he sighed again, he said, thinking of these words, I can't help but feel heartache, the people in the mountains and villages have such awareness, but our ministers, some of them are even more than those profiteering businessmen, and they have spied out the loopholes, and when the plague has not yet risen, they have bought epidemic prevention medicinal materials early, resulting in a shortage of medicinal materials around the capital, and the imperial court wants to requisition and have no medicinal materials to buy, of course, they will not take out medicinal materials, they have to wait until the medicinal materials are scarce, sit on the ground and raise the price, I am worried about the plague, and I can't sleep at night. I believe that many of the Aiqing present feel the same way as me......

Who said no, during this time, several important departments were working all night to share worries for the emperor and the people, and they were busy non-stop, requisitioning and dispatching various matters......

The old minister hasn't been home for a few days.

Not to mention going home, Xia Guan hasn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights.

The ministers were talking.

Liu Chen stopped in front of Cui Shangshu, and didn't move, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, anyway, Cui Shangshu was sitting on pins and needles, and he seemed to have a faint sense of badness.

But when you are forgetting to sleep and eating, and you are in a hurry, some officials are also forgetting to sleep and eating, and they are also in a hurry, but his busyness and forgetfulness are for his own selfish interests, and he pays attention to the market of medicinal materials every day, and the price of medicinal materials has risen to what extent......

When Cui Shangshu was wiping his sweat, the pair of bright boots in front of him turned around at some point and faced him.

Although he didn't look up, he also noticed that all the eyes in the hall were focused on him, and the sweat was growing faster, and it was dripping down.

Just listen to the majestic voice above your head, Cui Aiqing.

Wechen is in. Cui Shangshu hurriedly knelt down, although he didn't know why, but how could a person who had been in officialdom for a long time not be able to detect the emperor's dissatisfaction and anger towards him.

Although the holy will does not dare to speculate, but if the speculation does not penetrate the holy will, how can the black gauze hat on the head be worn tightly, how can it be worn higher and higher?

The people below found out that your Cui family's industrial rejuvenation pavilion began to collect epidemic prevention medicinal materials very early, and a large part of the surrounding epidemic prevention medicinal materials flowed to your Cui family's rejuvenation pavilion, but when the imperial court requisitioned medicinal materials, your Cui family's rejuvenation pavilion did not take out a single medicinal material, Cui Aiqing, you disappointed me, you are an old minister in the court, and you are an important minister of the court, how can you ...... Liu Chen looked distressed.

Cui Shangshu lay on the ground and shouted injustice, the emperor, Weichen is wronged, it must be that villain who is taking revenge for personal gain, the emperor, you can't listen to slander, Weichen is loyal to the emperor, he doesn't dare to be half-hearted, when he is embarrassed, Weichen will never be able to do something to make huge profits......

Liu Chen sighed, slowly walked back to the dragon chair, sat down, and stared at Cui Shangshu, were you wronged? Then I ask you, is the Rejuvenation Pavilion your Cui family?

Back to the emperor, the Rejuvenation Pavilion is indeed the Cui family, but Wechen did not collect anti-epidemic medicinal materials, a few days ago a colleague was still asking this question, Wechen said, if Weichen's industry has anti-epidemic medicinal materials, they must all be donated, to solve the urgent needs of the imperial court...... Cui Shangshu really didn't lie when he said this.

Liu Chen on the dragon throne snorted coldly, it's the Rejuvenation Pavilion, this is the evidence they found, you can see for yourself.

As he spoke, with a click, a book flew to Cui Shangshu's feet.

Cui Shangshu trembled and picked up the fold, flipped it open, and glanced at it, almost fainting.

What else do you have to say? Liu Chen asked.

Cui Shangshu relieved himself and said, the emperor, it is all Weichen's godson who has no way, Weichen handed over the Rejuvenation Pavilion to the family dog management a few months ago, and then he never intervened, of course, about the epidemic prevention medicinal materials, Weichen still asked, but the kid didn't tell Sù Weichen, Weichen doesn't know anything, Weichen also knows now, if there is a nonsense, Weichen is willing to five thunders to the top, and there is no place to die.

Liu Chen glanced at him coldly.

Just listen to Deng Xiang over there, the emperor, from the perspective of the old minister, Cui Shangshu does not seem to be lying, and he hopes that the emperor will be clear.

Immediately, some of the officials knelt down and joined in.

Looking at these officials, Liu Chen flashed a touch of disgust, stared at Deng Xiang who was kneeling on the ground for a while, and then his tone slowed down, Deng Xiang quickly got up, I will not wronged any courtier, to be honest, when I learned about this incident, I was more sad than anyone else, and I didn't want to believe that my Aiqing was making embarrassing money, even so, it really has nothing to do with Cui Aiqing, but your crime of lax discipline cannot be erased.

Wechen is guilty, and Wechen will be disciplined well when he goes back. Cui Shangshu said.

Liu Chen's expression suddenly changed the tension just now, and said with a smile, I just said, Cui Aiqing is an important minister in the court, and he has done his best for my Darong Dynasty and the people of the Darong Dynasty.

Cui Shangshu said that Weichen didn't dare to be, this is what Weichen should do.

Seeing that it was almost over, Liu Chen changed his expression, you see, now is the time of embarrassment, can you let the imperial court requisition the medicinal materials of the Rejuvenation Pavilion first......

When Cui Shangshu heard this, he quickly knelt down, and Weichen was willing to donate all the anti-epidemic medicinal materials to make a modest contribution to the court and the emperor.

Liu Chen suddenly applauded, walked down the stairs again, walked to Cui Shangshu, and helped people up with his own hands, on behalf of the people in those epidemic areas, I thanked Cui Aiqing, Cui Aiqing is not a pillar of the country, and an important minister of the court.

This is what Weichen should be. Cui Shangshu said this, but his heart was already flooded with bitterness.

After the next court, Cui Shangshu was exhausted and almost collapsed to the ground.

Deng Xiang walked over and whispered, the emperor is not simple, he has set up a set early in the morning, just waiting for you to drill into it, forget it, you can only admit it when he is eyed by him, spend money to eliminate disasters, and things outside the body, go and come back.

Cui Shangshu smiled wryly, Deng Xiang, do you know how much it is worth? I'm about to take half of the Cui family's bottom out, that damn brute......

Cui Ruhai didn't know that he was dreaming of making a lot of money, which made him impressed, but he didn't know that his father had already been forced to hand over all the epidemic prevention materials.

Cui Shangshu was out of breath, his face turned pale and he returned home, the housekeeper was startled when he saw it, and hurriedly went to help, master, what's wrong with you?

Cui Shangshu pushed him away, went, and called the little beast to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu had to kill him today, and on the day of the province, the whole family would be in trouble.

Defei's Palace.

Mother and son sat opposite each other.

Prince, they're trying to make you unable to come back...... Concubine De couldn't help but resent.

The mother concubine was too worried, and the son was to supervise the plague prevention and control matters, and did not directly contact the patients, so he was not so strict. Liu Jing comforted.

You I don't know. Concubine De stared at him with red eyes, they all said that even if they didn't touch, it would be passed on, it was terrible, how many people died, and even some of the imperial doctors sent to him never came back, you say, can I not worry? Your father is really ruthless, why is he so ruthless......

Mother, the father and the emperor are not a temporary plan, he is also thoughtful, and thinks that it is most appropriate for his son to go, after all, it was his son who was in charge of disaster relief before, and his son has been there once, and he is familiar with it. Liu Jing handed over a handkerchief.

Concubine De took it and wiped it, that's it, just go, be careful......

Seeing his mother like this, Liu Jing's heart was like a knife, and his son knew that his son had not been filial to you yet, and his son would come back intact.

Liu Jing came to Guijitang, and Lao Meng hurriedly greeted him, Liu Gongzi is looking for my young lady, right?

yes, is she? Liu Jing asked.

Yes, but I'm still busy, I guess it will take a while, why don't you sit down and wait a while, and I'll make tea for you? Lao Meng greeted and said.

No hassle, let's go to the backyard for a walk. Liu Jing said.

That's fine, what you need, just call me. Lao Meng led them to the backyard and went to work.

The Guiji Hall is connected by two adjacent shops, and the backyard is also connected.

There are a lot of rooms in the backyard, which are used to live in people, and the two courtyards are connected together, which makes them even more spacious.

When Liu Jing led Liu Chuan in, he saw at a glance that two children, one older and one young, were playing chess at the stone table.

One of the children was only four or five years old, and he was very good-looking, and even Liu Chuan couldn't help but sigh, that child was so beautiful.

These two children are none other than Xiaojiu and his brother-in-law Shen Yan.

The two sat facing each other on either side of the stone table, with a game of black and white chess pieces resting in the middle.

I saw Shen Yan pinching a chess piece, swaying around, and resting in one place under the gaze of Xiaojiu.

As soon as he put it down, he saw Xiaojiu on the opposite side holding a chess piece and was about to eat it.

Shen Yan was in a hurry, and quickly took back the chess piece, I haven't thought about it yet, I have to think about it again.

Xiaojiu glanced at him angrily and put down the chess piece.

Shen Yan scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, and hesitantly put the chess pieces in another place, not wanting Xiaojiu to pick up another piece and eat his piece again.

Shen Yan snatched it back again, I won't go here.

There is no end. Xiaojiu's face was calm, and the rhubarb in his arms also roared.

Go, go, what's the matter with you. Shen Yan waved at the rhubarb.

Whew. Rhubarb bared his teeth at him, always regretting his chess and not being ashamed.

Seeing that Xiaojiu was about to get angry, Shen Yan didn't dare to delay, and quickly put the chess pieces in one place.

Xiaojiu snorted.

Well, this step is no different from direct suicide.

Shen Yan was annoyed and pushed the chessboard away and said, why are we playing chess here? It didn't make any sense at all, we could have gone to my father's school and beat up those adults.

Xiaojiu snorted, he still wants to be a general, and he can't even play chess.

What does being a general have to do with playing chess? Shen Yan was puzzled, commanding the war relied on the art of war, not on chess.

I haven't heard that chess is like a battlefield, ever-changing, and there are many common reasons between fighting and playing chess. Xiaojiu said.

Shen Yan pouted, the third sister won't go down, why don't you force her to learn?

Compared with her, you are really promising, she can get lost in the house, are you also compared to her? The wine is not without sarcasm.

Okay, you actually slandered the third sister? She's your mother, how can you say that? Shen Yan finally caught the handle of his nephew, and looked like a threat to see that I didn't tell her.

Xiaojiu leaned at him, saying what happened to her? Isn't she my mother?

The bear kid kicked him and continued to play chess.

It's still down. Shen Yan lay on the table.

It didn't last a second, and suddenly it popped up like a spring, and I looked to the side, who of you?

Xiaojiu also looked over.

Liu Jing and Liu Chuan came over, we are looking for Dr. Shen, you are the son of General Shen, right? Chong Shen Yan asked.

Hey, how do you know? Shen Yan hurriedly looked at Xiaojiu, I didn't sue him.

Xiaojiu glared at him.

Do you want to kill people? The black fat boy said again.

Xiaojiu directly blackfaces, whose mouth is killed? Look at the posture of others, have you ever beaten it? Be careful that you are directly destroyed.

Liu Jing smiled, don't be afraid, I am very close friends with Miss Shen, and she once told me about you.

When the fat black boy heard this, he immediately let go of the fist that was about to smash up, and discontinued the alarm, did you say it earlier.

Liu Jing looked at the child holding an animal, and sat down directly in the position of the black boy, how about I have a game with you?

Xiaojiu nodded.

The chessboard was set up, and the sound of falling pieces sounded from time to time.

After about a stick of incense, Liu Jingyi pushed the chessboard and said, you won.

There was no joy on that child's face, you deliberately let me.

Liu Jing didn't refute either, and said with a smile, It's already amazing to be as big as you, and I'm as big as you, but I don't understand the layout.

There is no age difference in chess, as long as you play chess, the chess pieces in your hand represent winning and losing, not age, you can't afford to lose, I won't play with you. Xiaojiu said.

Liu Jing couldn't help but be stunned, looking at this child, he was shocked.

This is just a little older child, and his vision is so sharp, which is a truth that even many adults don't understand, including him, who treats this chess game as a joke.

This child of hers is really like the child she taught, and she is as unexpected and different as her......

Liu Jing couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and said while arranging chess, come again.

At this moment, Baochun, who was busy with things, came over, and after greeting Liu Jing, he rubbed his son's head, kissed the small dimples on his cheek, and said, Lan Xiang has prepared a snack for you, hurry up and eat.

Being kissed in front of outsiders, the bear child was a little uncomfortable, glared at her and left.

When the children left, the atmosphere was a little silent.

It's impossible to say that she is not embarrassed, and Baochun didn't expect him to come to the door again so soon, after all, her reputation is really bad, and serious people don't like to contact her.

Liu Jing glanced at her, then looked away and said, I am here today to say goodbye.

Farewell? Say goodbye?

Baochun couldn't help but be stunned.

We will never meet again, will we cut off our righteousness, cut off our robes?

Don't you want to be so formal!

Friends don't have to do it, if you don't come to me, it's over, will I still run to your house to find you? Besides, I can only get into your prince's mansion?

Why bother to come here, what is the difference between humiliation? The heart said, I really made such a friend for nothing.

Seeing her expression, Liu Jing sighed, where do you want to go, my father sent me to prevent the plague, and I will leave in a few days, and I don't know if I can come back after this trip, so I will come and say goodbye to you.

Baochun was a little embarrassed, and smiled dryly, it turned out that the emperor sent you to work, then you go and do a good job, and come back as soon as you are done, oh, by the way, what are you going to do? Fighting the plague? His eyes widened instantly.

Liu nodded and left in a few days.

It's really a dangerous place, the plague spreads, but no matter if you are the prince or what, the six relatives don't recognize it, and whoever is arrested is passed on, and the emperor is really willing to do it. Baochun sighed.

However, from a certain point of view, it is more useful to send a prince than other ordinary ministers, but the prince represents the royal family and inspects on behalf of the Son of Heaven, which will give great encouragement to the people in those disaster areas, and they will think, look, the emperor has even sent his son, what does this mean? This shows that the emperor still remembers us, attaches importance to us, does not ignore us, the people's hearts are not scattered, and any difficulties can be overcome in the past.

Liu Jing couldn't help nodding, I didn't understand at first, why did my father send a prince, I also figured it out later, but Miss Shen knew it at a glance.

It's nothing, it's similar to the royal driver's personal expedition. Baochun glanced at him, I heard that there is no effective prevention and treatment formula yet?

Yes, this time, the hospital dispatched a lot of famous doctors. Liu Jing frowned, he was also worried, as long as he didn't find an effective way for a day, controlling the plague would be empty talk, and countless deaths and injuries would be killed and injured every day.

These days, the doctors in our hospital are also discussing the prevention and control of the plague, and we think that we should first gather these infected people, restrict their activities, unify treatment, and find effective prescriptions...... And those bodies must be burned...... Baochun briefly talked about the main points of the prevention and control of the plague.

Liu Jing remembered it attentively.

As he spoke, Baochun suddenly stopped, ignoring Liu Jing and Liu Chuan's surprised gazes, stood up suddenly, and turned back and forth for a while before he walked up to Liu Jing and said, I'll go with you.

Both the master and the servant were shocked.

Liu Jing's heart suddenly swelled with a warm current, but he still categorically refused, no, you can't go.

Why can't you go? I'm not hot-headed, I won't tell you anything about the country's troubles, those high-sounding words that are the responsibility of the husband, I am a doctor, I know how amazing the speed of the spread of the plague is, if we don't control it quickly, we will not escape the catastrophe here, so why don't I do it for myself, besides, you also know that my medical skills are different from others, maybe there will be a breakthrough, it is not impossible......

What Baochun said was indeed what he thought in his heart.

She is a person, and it is difficult for her to have a sense of righteousness.

She decided to go, of course, also considering herself and her son.

On the one hand, she is afraid that the plague will spread here, and on the other hand, she is considering the Darong Dynasty in which she is located.

If the plague hurts the foundation of the country, the foreigners will take advantage of the situation, and then the war will be raging, how can their common people not be affected?

In addition, she has spiritual consciousness, far surpasses others in diagnosis and first aid, and has a considerable understanding of the prevention and control of the plague.

Liu Jingshi resolutely disagreed, how could he let her be involved in such a dangerous place? It can be seen that she is so resolute, persuasion is in vain, so she has to agree.

Liu Jing's master and servant left the Guiji Hall, and Lao Meng suddenly chased after him from behind.

Liu Chuan asked, is there anything else going on with Shopkeeper Meng?

Old Meng looked around, and then stuffed him with a stack of silver tickets.

Liu Chuan didn't look at much, so he put it away and asked him, didn't she notice anything?

Lao Meng thought about it, there shouldn't be, when I first asked, I did what you taught me, and then I didn't ask again, in fact, wouldn't it be better to give it to her directly?

Don't you know what kind of personality your young lady has? Liu Chuan said.

------Off topic------

Baochun walked with the second prince, and this follow-up ......
