On the third day of December in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Wenhua Hall in the Forbidden City, Wu Youke was able to meet.

Seeing him saluting, Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart that he was much more handsome than the one on TV in later generations, but he was also a little darker and a little thinner.

"No rudeness!" Emperor Chongzhen looked at it and said with a smile, "Do you know why I came to you?" ”

Wu Youke heard this, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people don't know!" ”

He really didn't know, he kept wondering in his heart, there are so many doctors in the world, and there are many imperial doctors in the palace, why did the emperor deliberately issue an order to find himself a year ago?

At this time, Wu Youke heard the emperor take the initiative to ask, so he immediately pricked up his ears.

I saw Emperor Chongzhen looking at him, smiled and said, "What do you think of the plague in various parts of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Hearing this, Wu You couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to ask this question, and hurriedly responded: "Talking about the plague, don't you dare to get an axe in front of Your Majesty!" ”

"Hehe, don't be modest, I let you say it, and you can say it." When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The things that I have widely advertised are just a little superficial opinion of a layman!" You're a physician, and you should be one of the most knowledgeable people in my Ming Dynasty when it comes to the plague! ”

Wu Youke was secretly shocked when he heard this, he had traveled to the world of doctors all these years, whether active or passive, and had many experiences in dealing with the plague, and he slowly summed it up. However, he hadn't told anyone else about it. Even he himself just had a rough idea, thinking about going back and finding a place to sort out what he saw, heard and thought.

As far as his current understanding is concerned, he has indeed changed many of his previous views on the plague, and it is also very different from the current mainstream views of physicians. As a result, the prescriptions he once prescribed for plague patients were so different from those of ordinary doctors that he almost got into a lawsuit. is also because of this, he is basically tight-lipped about what he thinks and does not say it to the public. It is ready to be comprehensively sorted out, there are cases to prove, there are classics to cite, and all aspects are mature before being announced.

However, now that Emperor Chongzhen opened his mouth to ask this, it was obvious that he knew something.

However, Wu Youke is still a little jealous in his heart, after all, if the emperor thinks that he is a gossip to confuse the public, deceive the world and steal his name, he is a small wanderer, and he can't bear the consequences.

However, he looked back and thought about it, in fact, many of the things that Emperor Chongzhen had widely publicized to the world before were different from the mainstream doctors' views, and if he didn't say anything else, he said that the plague could infect other people through the air, and he believed that in this world, if the emperor didn't explain, only he could understand this.

Thinking about it like this, Wu Youke suddenly thought that if he didn't do well today, it would be a good opportunity for him, if what he saw, heard, and thought could be affirmed by the emperor, then the doctor of the Ming Dynasty, who would dare to oppose it? Even if you want to oppose it, you must oppose it with reason! And as long as there is a well-founded opposition, isn't it the most welcome!

Besides, the emperor himself is also a master of plague awareness, and if you talk to him and get some advice and suggestions, maybe it will be of great help to yourself!

Thinking of this, Wu Youke was excited. He hurriedly saluted Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people have some ideas, but for the moment, the statement may be a bit shocking, or some of the grass people's foolish opinions are problematic in themselves, and the grass people say this just because they think so." If Your Majesty finds that the grass people have said something wrong, please ask Your Majesty to correct it, and the grass people will definitely listen to their opinions! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he knew what he was afraid of, so he smiled and said: "This is purely a medical academic discussion, and there is no such thing as deceiving or not deceiving people. It is inevitable that there will be mistakes and biases. Moreover, what I said is not necessarily right, just to discuss with each other, without any scruples! At this moment, you don't think of me as an emperor, just as your companion or as a close friend to discuss issues. ”

Wu Youke, as a wandering Langzhong, can survive all the time, which shows that his medical skills will not be bad, in addition, he will not find out where he sees people and things, otherwise, he may offend no one unknowingly, and it will never be possible to live well.

Therefore, although Emperor Chongzhen said that, don't treat him as an emperor, Wu is not stupid, he definitely doesn't dare. But, no matter what, when he heard the emperor even say such a metaphor as making friends, he knew that in the eyes of the emperor, he belonged to the very friendly category. Naturally, he was very happy about this.

So, he lost most of his scruples and began to tell Emperor Chongzhen everything he saw, heard and thought.

And Emperor Chongzhen was listening carefully, and if he didn't understand something, he would also interrupt Wu Youke and ask him what he meant? And, sometimes, he will also express his opinion on a certain aspect. Some recognize Wu Youke, some don't, some supplement and so on. This conversation is really like a close friend, communicating with each other about the plague.

The two of them were in the Wenhua Palace, sitting and talking, chatting about the topic of plague, and time passed unconsciously.

About an hour and a half later, it was time for lunch, and Wu Youke came back to his senses, and he was very satisfied with this fruitful conversation. A reminder that Emperor Chongzhen interjected from time to time made him feel like he was suddenly enlightened. Therefore, he was actually very reluctant to interrupt such a very rare conversation. However, the dragon body is important, who dares to delay?

Therefore, Wu Youke had to regretfully play: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat, the grass people have your Majesty's guidance and have benefited a lot, the grass people thank Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but laugh, this Wu Youke, his face was full of thoughts of "I still want to talk".

So, he instructed Chen Baoting, who was standing next to him: "For lunch, I will use it with Wu Qing, you go and pass the meal!" ”

When Wu Youke heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and he felt flattered, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, by all means." How can the grass people dine with His Majesty, this ......"

"What is this, what is this...... Emperor Chongzhen heard this, and said with a smile, "It's just a meal, what's the fuss." Don't you want to talk to me anymore? I can tell you, next time, let me take time out to talk like today, I don't know when I will go? “

"......" Wu Youke heard this, his mouth opened, and he didn't dare to refuse anymore, suddenly, he thought about this kind of fruitful conversation, in this world, it is estimated that only by talking with someone like the emperor who has a university question, can there be such a harvest, if you miss it, you may regret it for a lifetime. Thinking so, he gritted his teeth again, and suddenly said resolutely: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" “

"Hehehe, that's good!" When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he smiled and said, "Come, let's continue ......"

Wu Youke and Emperor Chongzhen's long conversation did not come to an end until it was almost dark. In the middle, whether it was the cabinet or the celebrant who came over, it was not a particularly urgent matter, and it was blocked by Chen Baoting. This surprised them very much, I don't know how the emperor and a You Fang Langzhong chatted so vigorously and for so long?

They didn't know, in fact, Wu Youke himself wondered. Fortunately, the conversation was finished before dark, otherwise, he even doubted that the emperor would be like the ancients and would have a candle night to talk about something? Then how many people's jaws will really be shocked, and how many impeachments will be attracted by the imperial historians!

In the end, Wu Youke's things in his heart have been quite well supplemented, some of which he can directly determine, and some of which he wants to verify; Some of the content is in line with his ideas, and some of the content is in conflict with his original ideas, and so on, anyway, the harvest is very big. So much so that later, he was afraid that there would be something missing, so he took the initiative to borrow a pen and paper from the chamberlain and recorded it on the spot.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen appreciates Wu Youke's attitude towards doing things, so whatever he proposes will satisfy him. Even in the end, Emperor Chongzhen directly appointed Wu Youke to serve in the Tai Hospital, but he did not participate in serving the palace and was not assigned by anyone, but he had such an official body, he could consult the medical books in the Tai Hospital, and he could also go to other colleagues to talk about it.

Wu Youke was naturally overjoyed about this, because this was exactly what he wanted to do the most. He also received a lot of constructive opinions from the emperor, and he even had an impulse, and even had a feeling that he could leave a name for posterity with the things he sorted out this time.

The conversation between Emperor Chongzhen and Wu Youke attracted the attention of many people. Afterwards, many people also knew that Wu Youke was very appreciated by the emperor, so they all began to meet Wu Youke intentionally or unintentionally, and from the distant relationship between the seven aunts and eight aunts, they could have a relationship with Wu Youke, anyway, Wu Youke's reputation spread first on the side of Jingshi.

However, what Emperor Chongzhen said in this conversation did not attract attention at first. It wasn't until Wu Youke's classic masterpiece was published compared to the original "Treatise on Plague" written in history, that the world was surprised to find that they originally thought that the emperor's artistic conception was erudite enough, but they didn't expect that many of the ideas in "Treatise on Plague" were actually put forward by the emperor, and compared with those real doctors, they had a deeper understanding of the plague. This point has convinced many people, the emperor is a genius, not a master, but a master.

In fact, if you put those things of Emperor Chongzhen in the later generations, it is actually just a common sense, not very advanced knowledge, let alone proficient. can't stand the generation gap of the times, say it hundreds of years in advance, compared with the ancients, it seems that it is okay to say that it is proficient.

Unlike Emperor Chongzhen who accidentally became an idol in other people's hearts in Beijing, Emperor Taiji of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he was in Shengjing, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

On the North Korean side, Ying Erdai has not returned for a long time, which has already annoyed Huang Taiji a little. However, he didn't think much about it at first, but as a result, it was the defenders on the side of Phoenix City who sent fast horses to report back, and he knew that the situation was wrong.

"What? The British Ordai department was ambushed by the Ming army in Korea? Huang Taiji was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly confirmed what was going on?

Although he also expected that the Ming army would rebuild Phi Dao. However, he really couldn't imagine that the Ming army would move so quickly, not only rebuilding Phi Dao in such a short period of time, but also landing in Korea to ambush the Qing army.

Naturally, he didn't know that it was because of the news of the Koreans that Lu Xiangsheng was able to lead the army directly to the war first, and then rebuild Phi Dao, this process was actually reversed.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's true." The messenger announced, "The Ming army suddenly came out, several times the number of the Qing army, and it was unable to resist and fled into the mountains to escape." By the time he returned, many days had passed. Others, including the manager, don't know what's going on. Although someone has been sent to North Korea to verify, it should have been more than lucky! ”

Knowing this situation, Huang Taiji was even more angry, and the North Korean side has now become the biggest source of blood sucking in the Qing Dynasty. In the case of the Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian tribes are all nomadic people, do not produce, and in the case of famine, cattle and sheep will starve to death in large numbers, and the plague will be even more miserable. As a result, the Mongol tribes were much poorer than the Qing Dynasty. North Korea is the only agrarian people, and they can produce food from the land. Although they may not have enough to eat themselves, they do have it. And it's not that there is no fixed place, and the national strength is pitifully weak, so it is the best target for oppression.

One of the main purposes of Yingordai's visit was to prevent Korea from falling to the Ming Kingdom, so he asked him to arrest all the main war factions of Korea just in case. Unexpectedly, something happened.

Worried, he waited for further confirmation of the news, and on the other hand, he began to think about whether to send troops to the Korean border, or simply send troops directly to Seoul, and must put North Korea under the control of the Qing Dynasty.

However, before Huang Taiji could make a decision, new information came back. said that North Korea was preparing for war, and cut off their ears and put back the messengers sent by the Qing Dynasty, saying that the Qing Dynasty was a barbarian, how could the dignified North Korea be in the same stream, and the Ming Dynasty was the real suzerainty of North Korea!

Hearing this news, Huang Taiji couldn't help but be furious. Although it has been several years since the founding of the country, and all the systems are established with reference to the Ming Kingdom, no matter what, it has always been regarded as a barbarian, which makes Huang Taiji feel very unfair, and even a weak country like North Korea has always had this impression of the Qing Dynasty!

Of course, in addition to his anger, there is also fear. Because what he feared the most, it still happened. As soon as the Ming Kingdom came back, the unfed North Korea immediately threw itself into the Ming Kingdom.

Just as he convened the ministers to discuss, Daishan in Jinzhou also sent someone to send back the news quickly.
