In February of the second year of Xiping, Liu Hong was in the Luoyang Palace, and his mood was indescribably complicated.

The war in the north gradually stopped, the battle in the north of Yunzhong County, the corpses were all over the field, the Xianbei army did not survive one out of ten, and returned in defeat, and the sandalwood acacia was even more in the body, and his life was not long! The Goguryeo army of Gaima Mountain could only sigh towards the mountain and failed to advance an inch.

Although these are all good things, Liu Hong is still not happy, because the mastermind behind the scenes is still hidden.

From the front-line battle report, it was learned that a black-robed Han man committed suicide in the Xianbei army, and he promised before his death that if the Xianbei army attacked Youzhou, he would open the city gate and let it go.

How could Liu Hong, who got such information, be happy? Liu Hong doesn't think that the one who died is the one behind the scenes.

Although the matter of impeaching Li Xian, the first assistant of the cabinet, dissolved like a breeze, Liu Hong was vigilant in his heart, and it was easy to dodge with open guns, but it was difficult to prevent hidden arrows.

For this hidden black hand behind the scenes, Liu Hong wanted to find out about it, but he didn't have a clue, even the Jinyi Guard, who was called pervasive by the courtiers, didn't have the slightest clue.

The position of Jinyiwei's commander, Liu Hong was still handed over to Zhu Ao, because Liu Hong did not have a suitable candidate in his hands, and Zhu Ao's loyalty to Liu Hong was still worthy of recognition, Liu Hong believed that after the impeachment, Zhu Ao would not make such a childish mistake again.

The end of the war in the north does not mean that Liu Hong can relax for a while, because the plague broke out in Sili at the end of January.

The plague was the first to appear in Zuo Fengyi's subordinate counties, but its county decree was concealed and not reported for its merits, so that when the imperial court finally discovered it, the plague had already rampant in most of Zuo Fengyi and Hongnong counties.

In this regard, Liu Hong was very angry and asked Jinyiwei why he didn't report the matter.

Jin Yiwei and the others bowed their heads one after another, and then Liu Hong understood, Zhu Ao was imprisoned, and he only paid attention to the people behind the scenes, how could Jin Yiwei report this matter?

After figuring out the reason, Liu Hong immediately dismissed Zuo Fengyi County, and the county order was all over the place.

Subsequently, Liu Hong appointed Chen Kun as the county guard of Zuo Fengyi to deal with the plague, and selected half of the imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital to go to Zuo Fengyi to treat the people.

Chen Kun lived up to his grace, and after arriving, he immediately ordered the soldiers to block the place where the plague was rampant, so as to prevent the plague from becoming more harmful.

And the plague in Hongnong County, Liu Hong was handed over to Yang Ci, because of Yu Qi's incident, Yang Ci's weight in Liu Hong's heart was greatly reduced.

Therefore, although Yang Ci was a member of the cabinet, he was only given the task of controlling the plague in Hongnong County, of course, Yang Ci's official position was to be named Zuo Fengyi and Hongnong County.

After all, Yang Ci is a member of the cabinet, even if Liu Hong despises him, he will not let the officials below see it.

It was also because of this plague that Liu Hong met the divine doctor Hua Tuo, although Hua Tuo at this time could not be called the name of the divine doctor, but his medical skills were also famous.

Liu Hong summoned Hua Tuo in the side hall of the dormitory, and after Hua Tuo saluted, Liu Hong opened his mouth and asked, "The plague is rampant in the prefecture and county, and the people have no cure for it, and I am very sad, can Yuanhua have a good way to cure the plague?" ”

Hua Tuo saluted respectfully and replied, "The plague has been a serious problem since ancient times, and the grass people have no good plan, so they can only do their best and obey the destiny of heaven. ”

Although Liu Hong knew that it was impossible to cure the plague at this time, that is, the Black Death, he still couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard Hua Tuo say this.

Immediately, Liu Hong cleaned up his mood and said, "The hospital has sorted out some preventive measures from the predecessors, although it cannot cure the plague, it can also save the people who are not sick from getting sick. ”

Although Liu Hong wanted to order Hua Tuo to stay and train a group of doctors for himself, he also knew that the plague was the most important thing at this time, so he ordered Hua Tuo to go to the disaster area.

When Hua Tuo rushed to the disaster area, he found that the county guard's mansion was not far from the disaster area. If the county guard is sick, I will die unforgiving! ”

Chen Kun felt bitter in his heart, but his face was serious, "Since this official has been entrusted with a heavy task by His Majesty, he will die to repay him, and this official does not know how to cure diseases and save people, so he can only provide you with what he can do here." ”

When Hua Tuo heard this, he immediately admired Chen Kun, but how did Hua Tuo know how bitter Chen Kun was in his heart.

At first, Chen Kun originally wanted to hide far away, but Liu Hong's handwritten letter forced Chen Kun to come here.

"I heard in the palace that Aiqing has never been to the place where the plague is rampant for half a step since he took the position of Zuo Fengyi's county guard. Promoted to make a fortune? ”

"When I went on a campaign, I also boosted morale in the places where I was fighting. Aiqing's surname is more important than me? I heard that Aiqing fought bravely, but did I mistakenly believe the slander? If this is the case, I hope Aiqing will inform me that I will not be punished, but only send Aiqing back to where he came. ”

"If Aiqing handles this plague matter properly, it will be a great achievement, but it can be written in history, does Aiqing think so?"

Such an obvious multiple-choice question, and it is a multiple-choice question with only two options, if you go back, then you will die in that position for the rest of your life.

If you stay here, the high-ranking official Houlu is not a problem, this Zuo Feng Yi is two thousand stones in the ranks, and the official position of Jiuqing.

is the so-called wealth and danger, Chen Kun chose to stay without thinking, and this is the above scene.

When Hua Tuo was about to enter the disaster area, he was stopped by a soldier in a snow-white cloth shirt with only two eyes exposed.

Hua Tuo looked at Chen Kun puzzled, and Chen Kun smiled and said, "This is Your Majesty's will, and anyone who enters the disaster area needs to do so." ”

"I see." Hua Tuo sounded Liu Hong's words, thinking that this was the prevention method of the predecessors, so he didn't say more.

After Hua Tuo walked into the disaster area, he found that soldiers were constantly carrying the sick and dead people to one place, and then set fire to their bodies and cremate them.

And the scene that Hua Tuo will never forget is the cat, countless cats.

There were all kinds of cats on the trees, on the roofs, on the walls, and on the streets, and Hua Tuo pointed to these cats and said, "Why is that?" ”

The soldiers who accompanied him replied, "This is your Majesty's will, and Your Majesty said that the plague originated from rats, so he used cats to hunt down rats, which did not do much good to the people, but also reduced the possibility of diseases from the outside world." ”

"Your Majesty, you are really far-sighted." Hua Tuo patted a sycophant.

Immediately after that, there were countless cauldrons, which were full of boiling hot water, and without waiting for Hua Tuo to ask, the soldier said, "Your Majesty said that the predecessors have recorded that the use of boiling water can delay the possibility of a little infection. ”

Hua Tuo asked the last question at this time: "Why don't you see you and have a trace of fear?" It's a place where the plague is rampant! ”

"Hehe, I have been waiting here for more than ten days, but I have never been ill, and the imperial doctor has confirmed that the sick person will have specific symptoms in ten days, so we think that His Majesty's method is feasible, so what are we afraid of?"
