Chapter 446 [Heavenly Flower Tribulation]
Sending Zhengde back to the leopard room, Duan Fei immediately sent someone to buy the black fish, planning to put it in the Taiye pool together, regardless of whether it is male or female, anyway, Zhengde can't see it, can't let that big black fish really have three thousand beauties in the harem, right? It's so old, what if it's too excited all of a sudden, overworked and whimpering?
The black fish is in Shandong, and dozens of them were purchased in less than two days, Duan Fei invited the emperor to put these black fish into the water together in the place where the big black fish was released, I don't know if the big black fish smelled the smell of the female fish thousands of miles away, and it didn't take long for it to appear, it rolled and rolled on the water for a while, and it was completely different from the dying appearance before stocking, Zhengde saw it, and was very happy.
After releasing the fish, Duan Fei persuaded Zhengde to go to the Wanshou Palace west of the Taiye Pond, and greeted the Empress Dowager Zhang, who had moved there to recuperate, and the Empress Dowager Zhang educated Zhengde Yitong, knowing that Duan Fei had completed the task assigned by her, and encouraged Duan Fei with satisfaction.
Coming out of the Wanshou Palace, Zhengde glanced at Duan Fei with a smile and said, "Duan Aiqing, are you satisfied now?" It's a pity that the Queen Mother doesn't seem to reward you with anything, did she secretly give you a lot of benefits? ”
Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "I can't hide anything from the emperor, Weichen is just acting on orders, and ...... Weichen is also for the sake of the emperor, you need to know that a stable rear can make the emperor feel at ease to show his strength, can share the worries of the emperor and the queen mother, that is the honor of the minister, how dare to expect any reward? ”
Zhengde smiled: "It seems that the Queen Mother didn't reward you for anything, but this is normal, you have money, and there is no shortage of other things and clothes, and the Queen Mother pretends to be confused and saved, since you are so ......"
Zhengde was talking and laughing, and suddenly saw a small yellow door running over quickly, bowed to Zhengde, and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the six Shangshu gathered in the leopard room, saying that something was wrong, they heard that the emperor had come to Wanshou Palace, so they immediately rushed over and asked the emperor to go to Wuying Hall to meet immediately." ”
Zhengde was stunned for a moment and said, "What will be the big deal?" Could it be that the Tatar army is overwhelmed? ”
Xiao Huangmen said: "The slave is not clear, but looking at the faces of the six adults, it seems that the matter is very serious, and Gonggong Zhang has also passed, please let the emperor drive to the Wuying Hall immediately." ”
Zhengde said to Duan Fei: "Duan Aiqing, you can go too." ”
Duan Fei frowned, got on the horse with Zhengde, and galloped towards the Wuying Palace, but he was secretly muttering in his heart: What happened to the big thing? Why didn't the Jinyi Guard spies receive any news beforehand?
Wuying Hall is located in the southeast corner of the Forbidden City, the emperor of the early Ming Dynasty lived in the Wuying Palace, summoned the ministers were all in the Wuying Palace, and then moved to the Wenhua Palace, the Wuying Hall and the Wenhua Hall are a text and a martial arts, each has its own use, Zhengde heard that the six Shangshu gathered in the Wuying Palace, and immediately thought of where there was a mess, and the sword soldiers were moved?
The situation in the Wuying Hall really made people kick in their hearts, and they saw the guards surrounding the Wuying Palace, and the six Shangshu and Zhang Rui were either frowning and silent in the Wuying Palace, or pacing repeatedly, looking very nervous.
Zhengde strode into the Wuying Palace, everyone stepped forward to greet him, Zhengde said flat, and then asked, "What's wrong?" Was it the Tatars who committed the border or where there was another popular uprising? Or is it a raid on the city? ”
Zhengde's eyes were staring at Wang Shouren, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang Shouren shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, it is not a mutiny, nor is it a civil unrest, but there is news that there is an epidemic in many places in Shaanxi. ”
Zhengde was taken aback and asked, "Is it the plague or the pox?" ”
Since ancient times, the epidemic in China has not stopped, but the epidemic that can make the ministers of the six ministries so shocked is nothing more than the plague and pox, hearing Zhengde's words, Yang Yiqing replied: "Your Majesty, it is pox." ”
Zhengde's expression changed dramatically and said, "How should this be?" What's going on now? ”
Yang Yiqing said: "It is not known where the disease started at first, but at present, the epidemic in Qingyang, Pingliang and Fengxiang has been very serious, and I heard that thousands of people have been infected with acne and hundreds have died. ”
Zhengde frowned, but Duan Fei was taken aback, he didn't react when he heard the word acne, he thought it was a sore on his face and pimples or something, but he didn't expect to infect a few thousand people, but hundreds of people have died, why is this acne so bad?
Yang Yiqing continued: "Your Majesty, the current situation must not be delayed, please immediately issue an order to block the traffic arteries leading to Fengxiang, Pingliang, and Qingyang, prohibit anyone from entering and leaving, and order the three prefectures to set up epidemic workshops on the spot, move the sick to the diagnosis and treatment, and send the imperial doctor and Hanlin medical officers to diagnose and treat, and all local pharmacies and pharmacies should administer medicine free of charge to help the people from the epidemic, if the doctors and medicinal materials are not enough, first requisition from the surrounding prefectures and counties......"
The more Duan Fei listened, the more surprised he became, he really didn't expect that in this year, the Ming Dynasty had already had such perfect measures for epidemic control and treatment, but it was just ...... Isolation and free medicine, but also to concentrate on burning the corpse and the things that the patient had come into contact with, such a complete disposal of the great enemy, Yang Yiqing's face was still unusually serious, what is this pox, it can be as famous as the famous plague?
Guo Zhen rushed back from Tianjin Wei when he heard the news, and at this time Zhengde was discussing a solution with Yang Yiqing and them, and at the same time issuing a holy decree to start disaster relief, Duan Fei looked at Guo Zhen and asked, "Gonggong Guo, what is this pox?" Why do you seem to be completely unsure? ”
Guo Zhen looked at Duan Fei in surprise and said, "Lord Duan, you're not joking, are you?" You haven't even heard of acne? ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "I was struck by lightning and forgot a lot of things. ”
Guo Zhen then remembered some legends about Duan Fei, he sighed, and said: "It's no wonder, Lord Duan, this pox is pitiful, the infected person has sores and pus all over his body, screams and wails for a few days and dies, there is no cure, the most terrible thing is that it is very easy to infect others, one is spread ten or ten, hundreds and hundreds of thousands, one person is sick, and in the blink of an eye, the people in a city will die, the most powerful one was in the first year of the Jin Dynasty, the Bianjing epidemic, only two or three months of effort, Bianjing died more than a million people." ”
Duan Fei finally changed color and said, "The acne is so bad, what are the symptoms of its onset?" Is there no cure after infection? Then what did the emperor also recruit the imperial doctor and the clothes officer of the Hanlin Academy to treat? Isn't that death? ”
Guo Zhen smacked his lips and said with palpitations: "It's almost death, this disease infected with nineteen is a dead word, occasionally not dead, or deaf and blind, or lame, stupid, even if you barely survive, your face will be left with potholes and rotten scars, just like twisted flowers, after getting acne, death or life can only depend on the will of God, so some people call it 'smallpox'." ”
"Pox is smallpox?!" Duan Fei blurted out that the word smallpox was both strange and familiar to him, smallpox, a virus that can only be transmitted in humans, has been extinct by humans in the mid-twentieth century, but it has killed countless human beings in history, one out of every four patients died, while the remaining three people had to leave ugly pox scars smallpox, and even lost their hearing, lost their sight, or died of tuberculosis or other complications, smallpox is almost a terrible disease that has existed since human history.
Legend has it that the once-invincible Roman Empire was unable to contain smallpox, and its national prestige was declining, with 150 million or more people dying of smallpox in Europe in the 18th century alone (17XX).
Duan Fei's exclamation was not loud, but it attracted a lot of attention, most of them were disdainful in their eyes, people who didn't even know that pox was smallpox, and the entire Ming Dynasty was only afraid of Duan Fei, who really didn't learn and didn't know how to do it!
Zhengde also heard Duan Fei's exclamation, he raised his head slightly tiredly, and after finding Duan Fei, he beckoned to him and called, "Duan Aiqing, come here." ”
Guo Zhen shrank his body, Duan Fei calmed down, and came to Zhengde's side, only to see a map of Shaanxi on the table in front of Zhengde, and Zhengde was discussing blockade, rescue and other matters with the six Shangshu.
Duan Fei stood quietly behind Zhengde's side, he didn't want to rashly tell Zhengde that although smallpox was incurable, it could be prevented, since God had brought him to the Ming Dynasty in the sixteenth century, he would never let smallpox, an old-fashioned virus, cause immeasurable damage to the Ming Dynasty, but he couldn't just jump out stupidly and say to Zhengde: "Your Majesty, let me come, I promise to exterminate smallpox in half a month......
That would be ridiculed by the ministers, and even if it really succeeded, it would attract countless suspicions, and Duan Fei's identity was not a genius doctor, he was a genius!
When Duan Fei was racking his brains to find a way to attract Zhengde's attention and ask him to send him to Shaanxi, Shi Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, glanced at him a few times, and saw that he looked like he was wandering out of the world, as if he didn't care about the things in front of him, and suddenly became angry in his heart, and evil was born in his guts, he thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, disaster from heaven is a great omen, which means that there are treacherous villains in the court, and if you want to survive this calamity, you need to eradicate the treacherous villains in the court first, and the Qing monarch will clean the world from the world, and you can ensure that the Ming Dynasty will never be a disaster!" ”
As he spoke, Shi Xuan's gaze stabbed at Duan Fei coldly......
