Chapter 331: The Plague

The true king Zhu Xi expected that it was good, and after the news of the Bazhong riots reached the imperial court. The emperor was very shaken, and declared the true king overnight, ordering him to leave for Bazhong in three days.

Zhu Xi and the emperor already had an agreement, so naturally there was no second word. It's just that when the emperor heard that Song Yi was going to Bazhong with his child, he was still very surprised.

But Zhu Xi explained the reason, and the emperor did not stop him. After all, Bazhong is very dangerous now, and maybe he won't be able to come back this time. It is too unreasonable to have to block it among the husband and wife who have already been negotiated.

For Emperor Zhao Pangde, Song Yi went with the child, maybe the real king could do his best. Thinking of this, the emperor gave some antidote and anti-poison imperial medicine to the true king, just in case.

The next day, the decree was given. With the arrival of the holy decree came the rewards of the emperor and the queen mother.

Song Yi didn't expect that when he returned to Beijing this time, he didn't go to the palace to visit the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother could still think of herself.

In this way, Song Yi had to go to the palace before going to Bazhong and personally thank the Queen Mother Lafayette.

In Cining Palace, when the Queen Mother saw Song Yi, who she hadn't seen for many years, she didn't look like she was raw, but complained a little, "You girl, you have such a stubborn temper." If you are not happy with the true king marrying another woman, tell the mourning family directly, why do you have to choose to run away from home? ”

"The Queen Mother, the concubines are also a last resort" Song Yi heard the Queen Mother count herself like this, but she was a little relieved. Before she came, she was really afraid that the Queen Mother was no longer the original Queen Mother. Now it seems that the Queen Mother still remembers the feelings of the year.

"I heard that this time, you are also going to Bazhong with the child and the true king?" The Queen Mother asked the grandmother beside her to help Song Yi up and bring her to her side.

took Song Yi's hand and sat next to him, looked at Song Yi and asked.

Song Yi didn't dare to hide it, and replied, "Yes, the Queen Mother"

"The mourning family has always thought that you are a smart child, why have you become so confused now? When the true king went to Bazhong, he was dealing with business. What kind of mess are you following? Still going with kids? Don't you know that the current Bazhong is a place where all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are afraid to go? It's too late for others to hide, and you still have to take risks yourself."

"Queen Mother, what you said, the concubine understands. But let the true king go to such a dangerous place in Bazhong alone. Even if I stay in Kyoto with my children, I don't have peace every day. It's better that we are together as a family. No matter what the danger is, we will face it together"

Song Yi said his thoughts again.

Empress Dowager Pang looked at Song Yi and wanted to see some clues from her face. She didn't believe that Song Yi really went to Bazhong for this reason.

Although Empress Dowager Pang has lived in the deep palace for a long time, she has also heard a thing or two about the affairs in the court. knows how capable the girl in front of her is, and she can always survive in a desperate situation.

"If you want to go, go ahead. However, you have to promise the mourning family, if there is really danger, you must not be in danger, and you must come back alive. The mourning family still wants to listen to your journey to the west and the Three Kingdoms."

"Queen Mother, don't worry. If this time, the true king and I can come back alive, I will often come to the palace to see you."

"Well, good boy," Empress Dowager Pang said with some sadness, but she knew that this was not the time to cry, so she said, "It's right for you to go to Bazhong." Back then, when you left without permission, the emperor was furious and took away your title as a princess. Although, all these years, you have been studying Tianyu No. 1, there are still a lot of suspicions in the court. If this time, you go to Bazhong and help the true king deal with the affairs over there. Not only can you wash away the suspicions of the court about you, but you can also let the mourning family help you intercede with the emperor and return your princess status to you."

"Queen Mother, these must wait for us to return safely. Today, let's not talk about that. Or let the concubines chat and talk with you. ”

"Okay, don't talk about that. We'll talk about it when you come back from Bazhong."

After returning from the palace, Song Yi has been thinking about how she can ensure the safety of everyone if the plague in Bazhong is really very dangerous?

Song Yi searched his intestines and scraped his stomach and sorted out some knowledge about the plague in his mind.

A plague, also known as a pandemic, is a large, contagious, deadly epidemic that affects people or other species over a large region or around the globe.

There have been several global infectious diseases in human history, including plague, smallpox, and influenza. Most plagues rely on survivors to produce antibodies and are naturally immune.

There are also records of plague in Chinese historical materials. As recorded in "Zhou Li, Tianguan, Tomb Zai": "The diseases of the people are in charge of the diseases, and there are diseases at all times. "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn and Ji Chun Ji" recorded: "When the spring season is summer, the people are plagued. It shows that the understanding of plague at that time had reached a certain level, and it was believed that plague could occur all year round, and one of the reasons was due to the abnormality of seasonal qi, which was caused by "non-temporal qi".

The earliest surviving ancient book of traditional Chinese medicine, "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", is also recorded. For example, "Su Wen Thorn Law Treatise" pointed out: "The five plagues are all easy to infect, regardless of the size, the symptoms are similar...... righteousness is stored in the body, and the evil cannot be done, so as to avoid its poisonous gas." "Su Wen: Instinctive Disease": "The yin does not abdicate, that is, the wind is early, the rain does not fall, the wet order does not melt, the people are sick and warm, and the defects are wasted." Wind is born, and the people's diseases are joint pain, head pain, heat and internal trouble, and dry throat to drink. He pointed out that the warm epidemic has the characteristics of infectiousness, epidemic, similar clinical manifestations, and climate-related onset, and believed that as long as "righteous qi is stored in the body", it can "avoid its poisonous gas".

Wu Youke, a physician in the Ming Dynasty, witnessed the tragic situation of the epidemic at that time, and on the basis of the relevant expositions of his predecessors, he made in-depth and detailed observations and discussions on the warm epidemic. His book "Treatise on the Warm Epidemic" is a monograph on the warm epidemic, and the warm epidemic is discussed in detail in the book. It is believed that "the warm epidemic is a disease, not wind, not cold, not summer, not humid, but there is a strange feeling between heaven and earth." It is pointed out that the causative factor of the warm epidemic is "abnormal gas", also known as "epidemic gas", "boiled gas" and "angry gas", which is a pioneering insight into the cause of the warm epidemic.

Wu believed that anger was material and could be subdued with medicine. Although anger is "invisible and seekable, invisible and visible, silent and odorless, how can it be seen and smelled", it is an objectively existing substance, and it is further pointed out that "the substance of things can produce gas, and the medicine is also." ”

Anger invades the body through the mouth and nose. It is believed that "evil enters from the mouth and nose" and infects the way of anger, "there is a natural affliction, there is an infection, although the feeling is different, the disease is the same".

After the human body feels the qi, whether it is pathogenic or not depends on the amount and virulence of the qi and the resistance of the human body. pointed out that "those who feel deeply are immediate, and those who feel shallow, but they are not correct and fail to be sudden"; "His youthful vigor is strong, no matter how strong or weak, those who are slightly weakened in righteousness will be sick when they touch it"; "The essence is full, the evil is not easy to enter, the essence is in deficit, and between the breaths, the external evil takes advantage of it."

Epidemics caused by anger have different manifestations of pandemic and sporadic nature. However, the pathogenesis of anger is different in terms of region and time. In addition, depending on the type of abusive qi, the diseases caused are also different, and the parts of the organs that are violated are also different. Think "...... For all kinds of diseases, it is the difference in knowledge." It is also pointed out that human diseases and animal plagues are caused by different temperaments.

In "Treatise on Warm Epidemics", Wu Youke also created many unique and effective prescriptions for epidemic treatment.

Song Yi just wanted to find a way to prevent and control the plague in Bazhong from Wu Youke's "Treatise on Plague".
