Chapter 53: The Plague 1
"Let's disperse, it's not early, go back early to rest, in a few days, this epidemic may become serious, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for you to have a good night's sleep." Shen Qingwan said softly, he took Yan Yu Xunhan to take the lead and walked out, the door was the long-awaited Liufeng, Liufeng saw his future heroine (although Liufeng thought it was) walked out, a little excited, since he was sent by his master to be a secret guard in front of the Changning County Lord This is the first time he has appeared in front of everyone's sight openly, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and signaled Shen Qingwan to enter.
Shen Qingwan and the three of them got into a carriage with the logo of the Chu Palace, and the group slowly drove towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This night, Shen Qing had a good night's sleep.
This night, Yan Yu waited all night in front of Shen Qingwan's door with a sword, and did not return to his room until the sky broke slightly.
July 15, the end of the day
The early dynasty was going on, and suddenly the eunuch said in a loud voice, "Jiangnan is a thousand miles to report urgently." ”
"Biography." Duan Hao said in a deep voice.
The ministers of the court and the central government all discussed in groups, "Lord Shen, do you know what is going on, the emperor's face doesn't look very good?" The Ministry of Works, Shangshu Li, bowed his head and asked Shen Cheng on the side, a glint flashed in his eyes.
Shen Cheng frowned, "Lord Li hasn't heard of Concubine De in the palace?" So where do I know? "Don't think he doesn't know, Li Quan, the old fox, just wants to set his own words, since this person pretends not to know, then even if he hears about it, he can't say it to be this eye-piercing person.
"Lord Shen said this, but I waited, who doesn't know that Lord Shen is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and even Lord Shen doesn't know..."General Tang, who has always been at odds with Shen Cheng, smiled, with a little impatience and ridicule in his eyes, his daughter and Shen Cheng's eldest daughter are in the Qi Palace, although his Le Han is a concubine, but he has never had a good time in the mansion, one of the reasons is that the eldest daughter born to Shen Cheng, an old thing, pretends to be gentle and lovely day by day, and there is no less account with King Qi Le Han behind his back, He's a father, he doesn't agree with Shen Cheng, an old thing, on weekdays, and because of this relationship, it's a little worse, and he always has to fall into the well when he sees the other party down, this sentence of the royal celebrity, there is not a bit of sincerity in it, who doesn't know that since the death of the county lord of Shaoyang two years ago, Shen Cheng has been slowly squeezed out of the power center, and these people from traditional families have always been unaccustomed to Shen Cheng, a man who started a family by relying on women, and they are not polite in or out of words.
Shen Cheng frowned, Tang Ju, the old horseman, really didn't like what he said, don't think he didn't hear the ridicule in this person's mouth, and it was not easy to say anything for the sake of face, so he pursed his lips and snorted coldly.
At this moment, Duan Hao cleared his throat, "Zhong Aiqing, Jiangnan emergency, the plague in Jiangnan has a great impact now, there are countless deaths and injuries, and people infected with the plague were also found in the capital the day before yesterday..."
Before the words were finished, there was a lot of discussion in the Jinluan Palace, and everyone was a little panicked, originally they just heard the wind, but now they were put on the surface like this, which made them feel a little panicked.
"Fortunately, two days ago, I got something from Ji Chuyao, the little divine doctor, here." Duan Hao paused and continued, "According to the words of the little divine doctor, I asked the people of the Tai Hospital to study it carefully, there is no problem, from today onwards, as long as there is nothing necessary to go out, all the families will try to close their doors, I have already instructed the head of the Tai Hospital to cooperate with the little divine doctor to study the medicine to cure the plague, and it will definitely be effective in the near future." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, what they were most afraid of was that their lives were not guaranteed, glory and wealth could not be enjoyed, the emperor's words were regarded as giving them a needle in the sea, at least they were relieved in their hearts, they had more or less heard of the medical skills of the little divine doctor, a few years ago, the smallpox in Jiangnan was treated by the little divine doctor, if they remember correctly, the little divine doctor was only thirteen or fourteen years old that year, and it can be said that he was talented and envious of others.
As soon as the morning dynasty ended, officials who were close to each other on weekdays got together to discuss this "Jiangnan Emergency News", and Shen Cheng was no exception. ”
Shen Cheng thought for a while, "Lord Li, I don't think we need to worry too much, the emperor has said that this little miracle doctor may already have a way to deal with it, no matter how anxious we are, it's just a matter of worrying about the world and disturbing ourselves." Li Quanquan wanted to say something, Shen Cheng waved his hand, and walked straight in the direction of leaving the palace.
Tang Ju, who was following him, snorted coldly and discussed with the people around him, everyone spared their lives, and these high-ranking and powerful people were even more afraid that if something happened, not to mention that there was no one to inherit the Wanguan family property, and the good wives and beautiful concubines in those mansions all affected their hearts.
Shen Qingwan listened to the people below come to report the matter of the morning dynasty, waved her hand and didn't say anything, the situation in the court was not far from what she imagined.
The pessimists complain about the sky, as if tomorrow everyone will be infected, and then the whole capital will be gone; The optimists didn't take this to heart at all, thinking that the sky was falling anyway, and there were tall people on top of it; The radicals thought that it would be better to gather those infected people together and burn them to get rid of the troubles before the epidemic broke out; Conservatives are afraid that the prescription will not be developed in a short period of time, causing panic among the people of Lingqi, and that something big will happen...
Shen Qingwan gently flipped through the booklet in his hand, "Who is responsible for collecting information?" ”
The man who looked low-brow stood up, "Miss Hui, it's the small one." ”
"You did a good job, Mu Tao, reward him with three months of silver." Shen Qingwan smiled approvingly, this person can be said to be a talent, and the booklet he made analyzed the plague from all aspects and angles, very good, "I asked people to print this thing you made in batches, and you personally watched it and sent it to the people, can you do it?" I only have one request, I must let the people of the entire capital know what these officials think within two days. "Shen Qingwan has long seen that some of the officials of the common people are unhappy, and after this incident, these people who have no worries about food and clothing in the imperial court not only didn't think about how to deal with the plague, but they actually thought about their own family wealth and their beautiful concubines, and even took the lives of the common people for their lives, which really touched her bottom line.
In her previous life, she led the troops to fight, and she knew that it was not easy for the people, as the saying goes, a success will be a thousand bones, and the battle she became famous in her previous life was also at the cost of more than half of the casualties of her own soldiers.
She didn't believe it, these personal things spread out, would the emperor choose to avoid talking about them......
