Chapter Seventy-Seven: Patriotism is in the heart
Gonggong Qin's old man saw that Bai Wanzhou didn't want to meet them, so he said, "Princess Huai and the eighth master might as well go to the side hall to sit for a while, and the miscellaneous family will call a clever little slave to make a pot for the two new big red robes from Fujian." ”
Bai Wanzhou smiled gratefully, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”
King Sang didn't know what to do, "Why are you going to drink tea, I haven't seen the eldest brother and the sixth brother for a few days, go in and say hello." ”
Bai Wanzhou glared at King Sang, and he suddenly closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak.
The two drank two pots of tea in the side hall, went to the Ruyi room three or four times, and it was almost dark before Gonggong Qin came back, "The emperor has invited Princess Huai." ”
King Sang looked confused, "Did you invite Princess Huai, didn't you invite this king?" ”
Gonggong Qin shook his head, "I only invited Princess Huai." ”
Bai Wanzhou straightened out her appearance and went with Gonggong Qin.
King Sang was heartbroken, did he send it with phone bills? He was sick for a month, and he almost lost his life, but Dad actually saw the seventh sister-in-law and didn't see him, can it be more magical?
I was about to blend in and brush up on my presence, but a person walked in in the light of the lamp and candlelight, and pressed him back to the chair, "Drink your tea." ”
King Sang raised his eyes and looked, isn't this Seventh Brother?
"The seventh sister-in-law begged you to come just now, but you didn't come, and now what are you doing here?"
Nangong Cheng poured a cup of tea for himself, and his eyes were bright.
Why? Give her a basket. God knows what basket she's going to poke out again.
Qianhua Palace.
Bai Wanzhou knelt on her knees, "My daughter-in-law asks my father for peace." ”
Emperor Wen of Jin had just finished dealing with two daughters-in-law who could speak well, and now when he saw his daughter-in-law, he reflexively rubbed his temples, "Flat." ”
Bai Wanzhou didn't get up, but leaned down and kowtowed.
Emperor Wen of Jin couldn't cry or laugh, these daughters-in-law didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp.
"What are you kowtowing to do?"
"The daughter-in-law is wronged."
"What injustice?"
"The daughter-in-law's brother Bai Qincang was wrongfully imprisoned, and the daughter-in-law begged her father to see what was going on, and ordered the daughter-in-law and brother to be released."
Emperor Wen of Jin seemed to smile, "Are you blaming me for closing your eldest brother by mistake?" ”
"My daughter-in-law didn't." Bai Wanzhou's body fell lower, "The daughter-in-law and brother lost their honor in front of the palace, and they were drunk in front of the holy car, so they should be closed." ”
Emperor Wen of Jin was quite satisfied with this answer, he was the emperor and wanted to save face, "Then what are you still kneeling here?" False? ”
"Daughter-in-law don't dare! The daughter-in-law just felt that although her brother should be punished, he was also imprisoned for more than 40 days, and this punishment was probably enough. ”
She didn't say a word about Liao Wan'er's frame-husbandry, which made Emperor Wen of Jin very comfortable, touched her beard and said lightly, "Forty days?" Indeed, it is enough. ”
Bai Wanzhou's eyes lit up, "Did the father agree to let his daughter-in-law and brother go?" ”
"I'll think about it." Emperor Wen of Jin looked at Bai Wanzhou slyly, "I heard that you have something to do with me, what's the matter?" ”
If you want to save your brother, how can you do it without showing some sincerity.
Bai Wanzhou licked her lips and let go, "There is indeed something, it is related to the smallpox in Hu Street." ”
Emperor Wen of Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, "I heard the sixth daughter-in-law say that the eldest daughter-in-law has made a lot of contributions this time, and it is she who has found the prescription." ”
Old fox! The meaning is clear, don't want to ask for merit and reward.
Bai Wanzhou lowered her eyebrows and whispered, "It is true that the eldest sister-in-law and the sixth sister-in-law are running, and the daughter-in-law is just giving them a hand." ”
Not to be arrogant, not bad.
"And what do you have to do?"
"The daughter-in-law wants to ask her father a question."
"Come on."
"When was the last time smallpox broke out in Eastern Qin?"
This can be asked Emperor Wen of Jin, he secretly folded his fingers and counted for a while before he said, "About forty-six years ago." ”
It's no wonder that he broke his fingers, at that time he was still wearing open crotch pants, and the first emperor was still in power.
Bai Wanzhou nodded slightly, "In other words, this virus has been contained for forty-six years. ”
Emperor Wen of Jin was slightly stunned, yes, forty-six years ago, the ravages of the plague almost overthrew the Eastern Qin.
Although he was young at that time, he vaguely remembered how many sleepless days and nights the first emperor had paid for this incident, the treasury was emptied, and several frontier countries took advantage of the weakness.
After eating that lesson, Emperor Wen of Jin took very close precautions against these infectious plagues.
The hospital has set up a special epidemic prevention team to inspect the whole country every year, not to mention the capital.
After Bai Wanzhou's reminder, he suddenly became vigilant, "You are a doctor, do you know how this smallpox started?" ”
Bai Wanzhou shook her head, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know. ”
"And what do you want to say?"
"Smallpox is an infectious disease, and humans are the only reservoir for the smallpox virus. In other words, in the past 46 years, since no one in Eastern Qin has ever had smallpox, the that day of the smallpox virus should have been completely eliminated by Eastern Qin. Also, the other day, my treatment log was stolen in the middle of the night. To sum up, the daughter-in-law thought that the protruding smallpox on Hu Street was not accidental. ”
Emperor Wen of Jin suddenly jumped a few times on his chest, if he remembers correctly, ten years ago, the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Xinjiang was also ravaged by smallpox, and the Eastern Qin Dynasty cut off all trade with the Dawan Kingdom in order to block the situation, and it was from that time that the original alliance between the two countries was invisibly invalidated.
In recent years, Dawan has been eyeing Dongqin.
