Chapter 205: A Different Approach
Xie Yutang heard from his subordinates that the prince was shocked by the way Pingcheng was governed, how could such a vicious person be able to disregard the lives of the people of Yicheng in this way!
I didn't expect that the emperor would easily obey the prince's instigation, and if he really did this, the world is unpredictable.
However, Xie Yutang should not have interfered in this kind of government affairs, but if he remembered correctly, he had heard Yan Ma'er mention that Chi Wan seemed to have gone to Pingcheng recently.
If this is the case, wouldn't those officers and soldiers want to kill her as a Pingcheng person? Xie Yutang was nervous in his heart, whether it was for Chi Wan or the entire Pingcheng, he couldn't just watch them die innocently.
Xie Yutang was uneasy, he simply got up and went to the palace of the king of Chu, intending to beg him to persuade the emperor.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the minister heard that the epidemic in Pingcheng was serious, and the emperor took the prince's opinion, surrounded Pingcheng and even burned those suffering from the epidemic, the minister felt that it was too cruel!"
The king of Chu was shocked and said: "I didn't expect the imperial brother to come up with such a miserable method, and my father must have been impulsive when he listened to his slander." In this way, if it is known by the Jiangshan Society, there will definitely be bad remarks. ”
"So Your Highness should hurry up and persuade the emperor to stop it quickly, don't make the situation more serious."
The king of Chu nodded, and then immediately went to his emperor Ama to tell him about it, at this time, the emperor was also in the palace of nourishing the heart to watch the folds, and when he saw the king of Chu coming angrily, he asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Father, my son has something to discuss with you, it's about the epidemic in Pingcheng."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, put down the fold in his hand and sat on the dragon chair at the back end, and said, "I am still trying to find a way to deal with the epidemic in Pingcheng, does the King of Chu have a better way?" ”
"Emperor Ama, sons and daughters are brave, is your so-called governance to burn those who are sick to death?"
The emperor suddenly got up and asked in a tone of disbelief: "Burned?" I had said I was going to burn them! ”
"But Brother Huang, he did this, isn't this your will Emperor Ama?"
The emperor was stunned, he didn't expect his trust to be trampled on by the prince like this: "I didn't expect him to be so good at asserting!" Go, go and call the prince to me! ”
The emperor's roar frightened the eunuchs, and the eunuchs who were waiting hurriedly took the order to invite the prince over, and when the prince arrived, he saw the king of Chu sitting aside with a solemn face, and the anger on the emperor's face was not hidden.
The eldest husband was able to bend and stretch, and the prince fell to his knees with a thud and said, "Huang Ama, what did the son do wrong!" ”
"You don't even know what you've done wrong," the emperor stepped forward to count the crown prince, "I only asked you to seal up the city of Naping, how could I have said that you would burn those sick people!" ”
"Huang Ama, the sons and daughters are also forced to do so!" The prince had already come up with an excuse in his mind, and made up a lie, saying, "It was Erchen's men who reported that those who were suffering from the epidemic were not mentally normal, and they fought against our officers and soldiers, and even wanted to resist them and kill them. In desperation, the retainers let them burn the people who rioted at the stake. ”
"Confused!" The emperor really wanted to slap the prince kneeling in front of him, but the king of Chu stepped forward in time to stop him, and said: "Huang Ama, the matter has come to this point, don't blame the imperial brother anymore, let's hurry up and stop those people from continuing to burn at the stake!" ”
The prince said: "In addition, it is to imprison them and do nothing, and when the epidemic spreads and the corpses are scattered all over the field, it is better to burn those corpses to death." ”
The king of Chu pondered for a moment and said, "Huang Ama, although only the royal family knows about the Pingcheng now, sooner or later it will be revealed to the world. It's better to make up for it quickly and try to treat those epidemics, if it is saved, the people will be grateful to Amma for having the world in mind. ”
The emperor may have agreed to the request of the king of Chu because of guilt in his heart: "Okay, then the task of saving them will be handed over to you King Chu, prince, you hurry up and remove all your people, don't do anything else!" ”
"Yes." The king of Chu nodded slightly and saluted.
The king of Chu came forward and successfully got the opportunity to come forward for treatment, but as a prince, he still had many other things to deal with, and since this was Xie Yutang's proposal at the beginning, he turned to Xie Yutang to hand over this important task.
So Xie Yutang immediately made a decision to let people release news in the palace and in the capital, claiming that he would recruit a doctor who knew how to treat the epidemic in Pingcheng, and he would be rewarded after returning.
After all, it is necessary to travel and treat the epidemic, so this bounty is naturally rich. The edict was posted on the propaganda board, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
In the palace, Xie Yutang even went to the hospital in person to encourage the doctors to sign up.
"If anyone can solve the emperor's worries, there will be a lot of rewards!"
It's just that the effect of this is not good, although the amount of bounty is attractive, but not many people are willing to go to Heicheng to treat the epidemic.
One of the imperial doctors said: "This is a trivial matter, but after all, it is an epidemic, like tuberculosis, and I will not go without a clear cure for them." ”
Another imperial physician chimed in: "Yes, although the doctor's heart is to be good, but this has to put his own small life into it, this kind of great good is not something that my generation can accomplish, it is better to do more small good." ”
There was a lot of people, and there were different opinions, but almost everyone was reluctant to go. Of course, there are some special cases, such as a new Yao Taiyi, who not only has excellent medical skills, but also cares about the people, and he volunteered to sign up with Xie Yutang to go to Pingcheng for treatment, which brought a lot of hope to Xie Yutang.
Day after day, there are only five doctors in Xie Yutang's organization, which is far worse than the planned thirty people!
These days, he was already worried about this matter, but he was unexpectedly summoned by the emperor, so he naturally wanted to ask him how he had prepared the plan for healing recently.
"How many doctors are willing to go to Heiseong now?"
"Back to the emperor, there are currently only four civilian doctors in addition to one of the imperial doctors in the palace."
The situation is very bad, and the emperor is also worried: "The day of travel is getting closer and closer, and now the number of doctors is not even enough, King Chu, am I wrong about you?" ”
The ministers will eventually implicate their masters, and the king of Chu, Yingying, knelt down and said, "Huang Ama, the ministers believe that General Xie will be able to handle this matter properly." ”
"Father, will you still listen to King Chu's empty promises?" The crown prince on the side couldn't stand it, and took the initiative to come forward and say, "Now that the emperor is rumored to let those doctors go to death, what should you do with the reputation of Huang Ama?" ”
"Besides, since they have already claimed that they have not found a cure, what fools would be willing to watch themselves go to their lives?"
Xie Yutang asked rhetorically: "According to His Royal Highness the Prince's words, aren't those doctors who take the initiative to sign up are fools?" ”
The prince smiled contemptuously and said in a tone that was almost joking: "That's the truth. ”
"You!" Xie Yutang's anger came up for a while, and those who were truly benevolent and invincible were now being insulted as fools behind their backs, even if they were princes.
The King of Chu stopped the angry Xie Yutang and said, "The imperial brother's words are not rough, so according to the meaning of the imperial brother, what should the courtiers do now to recruit those doctors?" ”
The prince picked up the teacup in his hand, felt the residual warmth from the wall of the cup with his fingertips, took a sip lightly, and asked.
"Who is the leader who is in charge of the command of Heijo this time? This will naturally not be you, the king of Chu, if the majesty of the leader is enough to make everyone awe-inspired, you can force some princes or doctors to go to Pingcheng for treatment. ”
King Chu was shocked, he really ignored it, this matter has been handed over to Xie Yutang, he acquiesced to Xie Yutang as usual, but now that he thinks about it, Xie Yutang has never taken the initiative to be the leader.
The king of Chu saluted and said: "Indeed, the main hall has been neglected, so the identity of the leader has not been determined for a long time. "The King of Chu struggled in his heart, where was he going to find a person who was dignified and obedient to him, so the best of both worlds?"
The prince's eyes deepened, and he looked at Xie Yutang on the side, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
"Why don't you let General Xie be the leader?" The prince proposed, "General Xie is strong and strong, naturally he will not be afraid of the epidemic, and he cares about the people, from the beginning to the present, General Xie has been in charge, isn't this the best choice in front of you?" ”
Several people's eyes were focused on Xie Yutang's body for a moment, and the emperor took the opportunity to ask, "General Xie, are you willing to take on this important responsibility?" ”
At this time, he still had room to refuse, so he hurriedly knelt down and saluted and received the order: "The minister will live up to the emperor's trust, and he will definitely control the epidemic in Pingcheng." ”
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, but the king of Chu looked worried, he was naturally worried about Xie Yutang, for fear that he would not be able to cope with such a situation alone, not to mention that he didn't understand anything in pharmacology, and if he encountered any accidents at that time, he would not even have a chance to save himself.
The little abacus in the prince's heart is crackling, this task of governing Pingcheng is even more difficult, since the king of Chu has to intervene, so how can he not take this opportunity to play with them?
Xie Yutang, Xie Yutang, you should be proud enough, when you go to Pingcheng, I think I am afraid that you will really not be able to come back. It is best to get infected with the epidemic, and it is best to get rid of it with those who are sick.
Xie Yutang didn't know what other people were thinking, but as far as he was concerned, he had already intended to go to Pingcheng, even if the emperor didn't give an order at this time, he would take the initiative to apply to the King of Chu.
Now, with the identity of this leader, Xie Yutang has done things a lot more easily, and has recruited many doctors and doctors to join the team, and the number of people has quickly reached the standard.
