After a while, Huang Han strode in and bowed, and Li Zhonghua and more than a dozen other people behind him saw that Huang Han did not kneel, so they had to follow behind and bow.

Before the emperor could speak, Huang Han, who had finished the ceremony, spoke, and he said:

"Wechen suggested that the Holy Son of Heaven should eat regularly, and now that it has been an hour after the lunch period, Wechen is hungry and uncomfortable, presumably His Majesty is the same, so Wechen strongly asks to eat first and then talk about work, and it is okay to talk while eating!"

"Huh?" Xu Guangqi couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, but his stomach gurgled uncontrollably.

Huang Han openly asked the emperor for food, and Ma Liuliang, Li Zhonghua, Li Zhongzi, Li Zhongli's brothers, and everyone from the Tai Hospital began to sweat again.

They secretly slandered themselves, and it seemed dangerous to follow this benevolent brother! If you continue like this, you will be scared to death if you don't get caught in him.

Chongzhen really felt hungry by Huang Han's reminder, and heard the stomach of the pavilion elder Xu Guangqi growling, and said a little sorry: "Master Xu, I didn't notice it, so Aiqing was hungry." Come on, hurry up and pass the meal, I want to talk to Huang Guji, Master Xu, and all the Aiqing from the Tai Hospital while eating. ”

The imperial dining room had already prepared the emperor's lunch, but I didn't expect that there would be nearly twenty more people to eat, but fortunately, there were many people and ingredients, and there were more than a dozen dishes on the dining table in the side hall after being busy for a while.

The emperor was really hungry, and a bowl of rice was delicious. It was impossible for him to eat with Xu Guangqi and Huang Han, he was sitting alone, and Huang Han and Xu Guangqi were sitting together.

Huang Han rarely got the food in the imperial dining room, he didn't eat politely at all, he ate deliciously and sweetly, Xu Guangqi was happy and had a good appetite, and ate a bowl full of rice.

The people of the Tai Hospital and Li Zhongli and others are too low-grade, and they usually don't even see the emperor's face, and they are really uncomfortable eating in front of the Son of Heaven all of a sudden, and everyone is cautious and basically doesn't dare to eat a few bites.

Seeing that the emperor had already eaten most of the bowl of rice, Huang Han said:

"Your Majesty, presumably the master has already explained the key, Weichen thinks that the Jinyi Wei and Tai Hospital secretly set up an epidemic prevention and control organization, and strive to completely solve the smallpox plague within three to five years, and then collect folk prescriptions and treatment methods to overcome more epidemics."

Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "Aiqing's suggestion is good, it is beneficial to the country and the people." ”

Huang Han continued: "Your Majesty wants to give this institution a certain amount of power, and Weichen thinks that the old apprentice Li Zhonghua will come forward to take charge of this matter as the Seventh Rank Patrol Imperial History, and then promote several senior famous doctors as the deputy envoys to assist in this matter, and naturally get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Chongzhen nodded and said: "It can be handled in this way, using a famous doctor as a patrol to be responsible for the prevention and control of the epidemic is indeed to make the best use of his talents." ”

"The power and obligation are reciprocal, and if Li Zhonghua is given the power, he is also responsible for keeping it secret, and if the secrecy period does not reach 10 years, he will bear the responsibility for the crime."

Li Zhonghua hurriedly put down his rice bowl and left the dinner table, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely be loyal to his duties and die." ”

"Aiqing is flat, this matter is related to the fortune of the country, Aiqing should be very careful, who does Aiqing think is the most suitable to assist the deputy envoy?"

"This ......" Li Zhonghua suddenly didn't know how to answer, because more than a dozen colleagues were looking forward to it with little stars in their eyes, and he opened his mouth to propose one or two, which would inevitably offend the vast majority of the imperial doctors.

Huang Han was not afraid of offending people at all, he said while eating: "Your Majesty, Li Zhongzi and Wu Youxing, these two people are famous and have excellent medical skills, and Weichen also wants to accept the two of them as apprentices to teach secret skills. ”

Li Zhongzi and Wu Youxing are famous doctors in Jiangnan and do not work in Tai Hospital, they are both scholars, and it is a coincidence that they can see Tianyan today.

Unexpectedly, Huang Han expressed his attitude in front of the emperor to accept the apprentices, and let them participate in the pre-outbreak of smallpox epidemic in a high-profile manner, doesn't this mean that it is possible for them to get the official position of deputy envoy from the seventh rank patrol?

They hurriedly left their seats and knelt down to kowtow to the emperor, and then came to kowtow to Huang Han, and said: "The master is above, and the disciple is polite." The disciples must study carefully and strive to be able to study more cures in the future. ”

The emperor acquiesced to Li Zhongzi and Wu Youxing becoming the deputy envoys of the patrol, and asked: "It is really good to handle the prevention of smallpox as the inspector of the imperial history, which state capitals does Aiqing think is the most suitable for the three of them to patrol?" ”

"Of course, it is the state capital of Beizhili, and Funing is undoubtedly about to become an experimental area, as long as it is confirmed that more than 100,000 people here have received prevention and will never be infected with smallpox again, it is enough to prove that it is effective, and His Majesty can issue an order to promote it throughout the country in the future."

"I heard that Aiqing is preparing the first experimental secret technique, but is there such a thing?"

"Of course, the secret technique was originally pondered by Wechen, how could Wechen rest assured that other people who came to participate if he didn't personally verify it?"

"Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, at that time, you can let your old apprentice go to death row to carry dozens of death row prisoners to test with the power of patrolling the imperial history, and there is no need for Aiqing to risk his life at all."

"Wechen thank Your Majesty for your love, but Wechen is full of confidence, there is no risk here, early prevention will never be infected with smallpox, such a good thing Wechen is not willing to cheap death row prisoners."

"Aiqing, is there really no risk in this matter?"

"Wouldn't it be self-defeating to prevent disease if it is risky? Your Majesty can rest assured that it is really effective, safe and cheap.

There are too many people here, how to use secret skills Wei Chen is inconvenient to say, if Your Majesty really wants to know, why don't we go to the Imperial Garden for a walk? Your Majesty, it is best for you to go to the Imperial Garden and take a walk after you finish your meal, which is conducive to your physical and mental health. ”

Chongzhen listened to Huang Han's suggestion and really stood up and said, "Aiqing, let's go out for a walk with me!" ”

The eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly brought sweat towels and copper basins for the emperor to wash, and Huang Han also enjoyed the service of the eunuchs and palace maids.

Next, Huang Hanzhen told Chongzhen in detail about the safe and effective prevention of smallpox while taking a walk, and told the emperor that the pox method has long been popular in Jiangnan, but the risk of using cowpox is uncontrollable, and people didn't expect to use cowpox.

Huang Han spoke wildly, Chongzhen listened to the clouds, mountains and fog, and in the end, the emperor didn't understand why Huang Han could know that cowpox was safer and more effective than human pox.

But the emperor was very happy, because for too long, too long no one could talk to him for more than an hour, Huang Han's conversation was completely different from that of scholars, never quoting scriptures, but reasoning on facts, and his explanations were all in simple terms that people could easily understand.

Huang Han didn't know much about court etiquette, and he didn't even know that he couldn't walk side by side with the emperor, so he seized the rare opportunity to instill some practical knowledge in the emperor who was a month younger than himself.

The studious Chongzhen listened to Huang Han talk about the knowledge of pox, the means of epidemic prevention and control, the importance of urban sanitation, and the fact that not drinking raw water is the simplest and most practical means of preventing diseases.
