Ever since Mingzhu thought there might be a locust plague, she had been anxious. Thinking that just letting Zhang Wuxi prepare, it must not have much effect. In the end, he decided to enter the palace and inform Emperor Nanzhao of the matter. However, since there is no definite answer, if disaster prevention is carried out in a big way, it will inevitably cause panic, and no one knows how to prevent it. (You know, there are locust plagues in modern times.) ）

So, after a limited number of people discussed, everyone came up with a solution......

After the beginning of summer, the news that Princess Mingzhu fainted and fell unconscious suddenly came from the Zhenguo Mansion. When Wei Ci, the commander of the forbidden army, got the news, he instantly leaped down from the city wall and rode a horse to gallop home......

The emperor and the queen mother were also alarmed. For a while, almost all the imperial doctors in the palace began to read the classics and took turns to go to the Zhenguo Mansion.

As a result, no one could find out the reason, so Emperor Nanzhao began to post the imperial list across the country to find a famous doctor in the hidden world......

At this time, Mingzhu was chatting with Li Yuanzheng and Tai Doctor Sun in the nursery room. Mingzhu knocked on the melon seeds and said: "In order to change the pulse in the past few days, my arm has been pricked a little green by you. I don't know if it's reliable, if someone else sees it. I didn't say anything in vain, it would be bad if I delayed the big thing of the imperial brother. ”

Li Yuanzheng said proudly: "This is absolutely impossible! Unless I knew from the beginning that His Highness was faking illness, even I wouldn't be able to accurately find out the pulse without knowing it. ”

Mingzhu nodded, and at this time, Si Hai came to report: "Princess Qiyu, the palace has sent two more capable famous doctors." Do you want to announce it? ”

When Mingzhu heard this, she hurriedly stretched out her arm and asked Li Yuanzheng to prick her with a pulse change needle, and returned to the main room to lie down in bed and began to hold her breath intermittently.

After the two old doctors, one green and one gray, came in, they respectfully saluted Mingzhu: "The old man has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"No courtesy." Mingzhu raised her hand weakly through the curtain.

At this time, Si Hai said to the two old doctors with a worried face: "Presumably, the two old gentlemen have already read the pulse case of His Royal Highness. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Your Highness...... I'm afraid I don't have the strength to speak......"

The old doctor in Tsing Yi bowed and saluted: "There is Miss Lao." ”

The gray-clothed old pharmacist on the other side had a serious expression, without a trace of awkward chatting: "When I looked at the pulse case before, most of them were written as "the pulse is disordered, and the qi is like a gossamer". If you don't say anything, we can all hear it. It's just this pulse, can we take it personally?! ”

The old pharmacist in Tsing Yi was also a little eager: "This is indeed a necessary thing, you must know that this pulse disorder should also have the law of disorder." If you don't check it yourself, you really can't see anything just by looking at the pulse case. ”

However, Si Hai was already prepared, and said generously: "It's okay, Mr. just come and have a look." ”

Seeing that the patient's family was so cooperative, the gray-clothed old doctor confidently began to take Mingzhu's pulse. After a long while, he wrote eight Chinese characters on the pulse table in his hand with a complicated expression: "The pulse is disordered, and the qi is like a gossamer". Then he turned and left.

And the old doctor in Tsing Yi is much more sophisticated: "Miss Si Hai, Your Highness's pulse is indeed so disordered that there is no regularity at all. The only thing that can be observed is that the essence is being lost. is not good at learning arts, which makes the girl smile. My senior brother practices medicine in the mountains and wilderness, and he is not very good at communicating with people. ”

Si Hai had an understandable expression on his face: "My Royal Highness has seen many doctors these days, and I know a little about the situation." Your Highness will not be blamed for this, and you need not mind, sir. ”

Waiting for the two doctors to walk away, Mingzhu sat up again and rubbed his shoulders: "It's so tired to pretend to be sick......

Since Princess Mingzhu fainted, all kinds of gossip in the capital have been spreading. It wasn't until seven days later that Si Tiantai Taishi ordered Sima Xingchen's performance to completely settle the matter.

According to the fold, Princess Mingzhu once inadvertently traveled in the fairy world because of the auspiciousness of the empire, and stole the prescription to save the nether world from the smallpox plague. Although this move saved hundreds of people, it made a lot of merits. But a few days ago, he was discovered by the broom star in charge of the plague, and only then did he take revenge on Princess Mingzhu. If you want to save the princess, you must find a qi-tonifying elixir with all the people to succeed.

As soon as this news came out, the world was shocked. The people felt the kindness of the princess and ran to find it. However, no one knew what the elixir was. I can only be anxious but depressed.

Famous doctors from around the capital who could arrive rushed to the Tai Hospital, and everyone tasted the herbs together and debated the pharmacology. Perhaps God had mercy, a little medicine boy accidentally discovered that locusts have a slight qi-replenishing effect.

TCM physicians began to debate and found that this was the case, and that locusts could also treat many debilitating diseases. There is no need to worry about being as weak as taking a big tonic.

So Emperor Nanzhao discussed with the ministers, and a letter of the emperor list for the urgent collection of locusts was posted at the gates of the major cities.

The ins and outs of the acquisition of locusts were written clearly and brilliantly on the royal list. When have the people seen such a mythical emperor? In an instant, they all felt a great responsibility, and they all said that they would work together to save Her Royal Highness the princess with great merit. As for what was said on the list, if a pound of locusts is exchanged for a pound of white flour, everyone also said that it was just by the way.

In addition, it was not yet harvest time, and there were not many farm affairs, and the mountains and fields of the entire southern country were roaming in search of locusts. Just when everyone was annoyed that they couldn't find a pound of locusts for a long time, the locust plague finally began to take shape.

At this time, another imperial list came out, which said that His Majesty the Emperor had found enough medicinal materials for the princess. In his dream, he asked the locust god to send some better locusts to the Nether. I hope that the people will actively look for it. And, because this batch of locusts is more effective, the palace decided to exchange two catties of white flour for one catty of locusts and began to buy them.

The people were simply overjoyed, and in the past, when they encountered a plague of locusts, in order not to anger the locust god, they could only watch their own food being eaten by locusts. Now it turns out that locusts are not only not disasters, but are also unsought-for qi-replenishing elixirs!

There was a craze for catching locusts throughout the people, and this craze reached its peak when some merchants began to secretly buy at a premium.

It turned out that there was a frail old gluttonous merchant in Nanfang Huguang, who heard that locusts replenished qi, so he had the courage to fry a locust and eat it. This one is terrible, it's called a crispy outside and fragrant inside. began to rush to buy locusts, and the price was naturally higher than that purchased by the government.

Where can a businessman who originally wanted to secretly eat alone hide from the prying eyes of his peers? The news spread quickly, and the price of locusts began to rise all the way.
