Chapter 038: Super Crazy Plan
"Your Majesty, the courtiers also think that it is the best policy to send someone to the border pass. The first is to control the spread of the plague, and the second is to treat the prince of the neighboring country who is in danger. In view of the high mountains and long distances, and the need to travel day and night, I am afraid that the elderly people in the Tai Hospital will not be able to withstand such a long journey. And even if they arrive, I'm afraid they will run in vain because they are not good at detoxification. If the prince of the neighboring country were to die because of this, then this war would be inevitable. Therefore, the courtiers were willing to share their worries for the emperor and ask for their lives for the country, and willingly went to the border to resolve this military crisis. First, this is the unshirkable responsibility of the courtier's daughter as the chief imperial doctor, and secondly, the courtier's daughter happens to be good at detoxification, so she is naturally the best candidate for this border trip. It's just that General A just mentioned that even the fastest carriage will take seven days and seven nights to travel day and night, and if there is some delay on the way, it will take ten days and half a month to reach the border pass. In that case, the courtiers felt that it was too long. After all, there are many dreams at night, and if the best time to control the plague is missed during this period and it spreads to more towns, a large number of people will die as a result. And since the prince of the neighboring country is already in danger, how can he wait for another ten days and half a month? Once the prince of a neighboring country unfortunately dies, even if the courtiers finally arrive, he will not be able to bring him back from the dead. The only chance to prevent a full-scale war is lost. Therefore, in order to be more confident in resolving this military crisis, the courtiers dared to have a reluctant request, and asked the emperor for permission. ”
After careful consideration, Ah Xiyan took the initiative to ask Yingdao.
It's just that at the end, I dare to make a request.
When Prime Minister Dou Cheng listened to A Xiyan's words, he also looked at her with more admiration, in his eyes, A Xiyan's courage has far surpassed most ordinary people, and in time, she will definitely soar into the sky, and she is undoubtedly a strange woman with an unlimited future.
Not only that, Ah Xi also pointed out the biggest difficulty of this trip, that is, the problem of time.
Prime Minister Dou Cheng knew that even if he arrived at the border gate in seven days and seven nights at the earliest, he might have missed the best opportunity to control the plague and treat the prince of the neighboring country, let alone ten days and half a month.
However, it is almost impossible to reach the border in seven days and seven nights, because even if you set off, you have to prepare for two or three days before you go, and it is impossible to set off directly empty-handed.
After all, if you want to control the plague on a large scale this time, you need a lot of herbs, especially the precious herbs used for detoxification can only be purchased and allocated from the Imperial City, and it will take a day to prepare.
Moreover, Ah Xiyan is still unsure of the specific type of toxicity of the border plague, and it is bound to be difficult to streamline the preparation of medicinal materials.
In addition, General A's choice of shrewd and capable soldiers to escort A Xiyan to the border pass also requires time to carefully choose, and it also takes time to analyze the shortest and safest route to avoid the rampant bandit area as much as possible, which also takes time.
So with these indispensable preparation times, it will be possible to reach the border in ten days at the earliest.
In this way, I am afraid that it is really too late, as A Xiyan said.
Therefore, when Prime Minister Dou heard that A Xiyan had a reluctant request, he was also very interested, and he wanted to know what kind of solution she had come up with.
And when General A heard that A Xiyan agreed to go to the border without the slightest hesitation, he was also relieved and worried.
It is gratifying that Ah Xiyan is worthy of being the daughter of his general, and she is really as bloody as him, and this courage is not inferior to any of his soldiers at all.
To have such a daughter, anyone will be very proud.
And General A is worried that the journey to the border pass is too far, and there is no heavy escort, especially when going to the border pass of a neighboring country to treat the prince's illness, it is impossible to bring many soldiers to accompany her to protect her, which is no less than a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!
Who knows if the prince of the neighboring country has a good mind and if he is cured, but he will take revenge and get rid of Ah Xiyan, the chief imperial doctor, in order to avenge that he almost died of the plague.
Or seeing that Ah Xi is young and beautiful, he has a non-dividing thought, and forcibly leaves Ah Xiyan in a neighboring country as a slave and concubine, wouldn't that ruin her daughter's happiness in her life?
Therefore, the moment General A heard A Xiyan express his willingness to go to the emperor, he also made his own decision, that is, to personally bring the best soldiers to escort A Xiyan to the border pass.
He will do his best to ensure that his daughter is safe and sound during this border trip, and if anyone wants to hurt her, he must step on his corpse!
As for Ah Xiyan's mention that it takes too long to rush to the border in ten days and half a month, General A also understands that what Ah Xiyan said makes sense, but he can't do anything about it, after all, the imperial city is too far away from the border pass.
But when he heard that A Xiyan had a reluctant request, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, that is, he, a courageous daughter, was afraid that he had really come up with a way to greatly speed up.
Although General A couldn't guess the specific method at this moment, he still had a hunch that this method might also be an extreme method that was dangerous.
In other words, Ah Xiyan's method may allow her to reach the border in advance, but it is definitely a dangerous way to die for a lifetime.
This also made General A decide to accompany her in person no matter what.
And when the emperor heard that Ah Xiyan was willing to go to the border without hesitation, he also admired the young and promising and courageous strange woman in front of him even more.
In his heart, he also secretly prayed that Ah Xi could successfully resolve this border military crisis, and then come back safely.
At that time, he could even go to the gate of the imperial city to welcome Ah Xiyan's triumphant return in person.
This is something he has never done since he ascended the throne, after all, as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, how can he personally go out of the city to welcome a courtier.
However, this time, the emperor really has a love for A Xiyan, and he also understands how much courage and the belief to dare to face death can be done for A Xiyan, a weak woman.
And once she successfully returned to the imperial city this time, she would have made a miraculous achievement, not only allowing the two great powers to shake hands and make peace again, but also saving thousands of Li people from becoming victims of war, and preserving the century-old inheritance passed on to him by her ancestors, and the prosperous world.
Moreover, he is old, and it will not be long before he will give up the throne to the future crown prince, that is, the fourth prince, and naturally hopes that he can enjoy his old age in this long and prosperous era.
And the emperor suddenly had a happy idea, that is, on the day when A Xiyan came back victoriously, in addition to personally going out of the city to greet her and give the most generous reward, he also planned to give her to the four princes and let her marry in style.
He is convinced that the four princes can be assisted by a woman like A Xiyan, and they will become a generation of Ming monarchs.
As for Ah Xiyan's character and open-mindedness, she is enough to become the best queen candidate in the future mother's world.
So when the emperor heard what Ah Xiyan said, he also laughed with great relief and said, "Haha! All right! I didn't misunderstand you. With your courage to go to the border, you don't lose to any man. Miss, I am deeply gratified that you were able to willingly go to the border to resolve this military crisis even though you knew that this trip was extremely dangerous. Thank you for the people of the world. As for your reluctant request, it doesn't matter, as long as I can do it, I will fully support your idea. ”
"The emperor has won the award, and all this is just the duty of the courtiers. Since the emperor was willing to listen to the reluctant invitation of the courtiers, the courtiers said it directly. In fact, there is another shortest and closest route from the imperial city to the border pass. If this route is taken, the courtiers are sure that they will set off early tomorrow morning, and they will be able to reach the border in two days and two nights at most. That's across the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons! In fact, the reason why it takes ten days and half a month to get from the imperial city to the border pass normally, even if you are fast, is because you have to go around dozens of towns to get there. But if you directly cross the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, you will be at the border when you get out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. And it only takes one day to take the fastest carriage from the imperial city to the entrance of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, and if you go directly through the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, it will take up to one day. Therefore, in two days and two nights at most, the courtiers can rush to the border and start to control the plague. And when they arrived at the border pass, they rushed to the prince's camp tent at the border of the neighboring country, and it would take half a day at most. In this way, in two and a half days at most, the courtiers will be able to rescue the prince of the neighboring country. Only in this way can the courtiers have the confidence to treat the prince of the neighboring country in time and resolve the military crisis at the border pass. Moreover, the advantage of crossing the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons is that there is no need to carry a large number of precious medicinal materials from the Imperial City, because the most important thing there is to detoxify the precious medicinal materials that are specially detoxified. Nor will there be any bandits looking for trouble. You can use the least number of elite soldiers and strong generals, travel lightly, and you can reach the border in advance with one stone! The reason why the courtiers have the confidence to cross the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons is that the most important thing in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons is the precious medicinal materials for detoxification. That's because when the courtier's mentor was traveling around practicing medicine more than ten years ago, he once inadvertently fell into a dark river and entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, so he was fortunate to know that there was an underground river that crossed the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. And specially told the courtiers about the route of this dark river. And out of the dark river, we arrived at the border. Since the dark river is very deep underground in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, it will not be poisoned by the poisonous miasma of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. Moreover, according to the teacher, there was a secret passage in the middle of that dark river that led to the dense forest of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons above, and that dense forest was overgrown with countless precious antidote medicinal materials. At that time, you only need to take the antidote specially prepared by the courtiers to resist the poison of the miasma, and you can still enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons to pick medicinal herbs in a short time. Therefore, the courtiers were confident that they could cross the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, and they would be able to collect enough precious medicinal materials to control the plague without spending money. Please also ask the emperor for permission. ”
A Xiyan said confidently.
These words detailed her bold plan, that is, to take a shortcut and directly cross the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons to the border.
It's just that in order to make the emperor believe her statement, she had to lie and say that it was the dark river and secret path that the so-called teacher told her, so as to cover up that she was actually the person who grew up in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
When Ah Xiyan finished speaking in one breath, the emperor, Prime Minister Dou, and General A were all stunned by Ah Xiyan's crazy plan on the spot......
