Chapter 61: The Plague (3)
Two days later, Nan Lingmo was preparing a new prescription for several seriously ill patients who had not improved for a long time. She boiled a pair of newly prescribed prescriptions and drank them to the two people who were most seriously ill in her charge. Nan Lingmo stayed by the side of the patient who had just drunk the medicine as usual, and carefully observed the situation of the two.
Half an hour later, one of the patients suddenly got up and spit out some yellow-green juice, Nanling Mo instinctively dodged it, but the corners of her skirt were still stained with the juice spit out by the patient. Mei Xue saw that she hurriedly went to find a temporary change of clothes to change into Nanling Mo, and the juice she spit out was very sick, and it was very easy to get sick.
Nanling Mo didn't care so much, and hurriedly brought a bowl of water to rinse his mouth. After the patient had gasped, Nan Lingmo asked, "Uncle Zhao, how do you feel?" The patient gasped and said, "County Lord, the little old man feels much better today. ”
Nanling Mo said happily: "Uncle Zhao, you said that you just vomited a lot better?" ”
"Yes, county lord, the little old man feels much more relaxed." Uncle Zhao gasped, "I always felt groggy before, but I woke up today and felt much better." ”
"Great," Nan Lingmo said excitedly, "Come on, change Uncle Zhao's clothes, and boil my new recipe into medicine for the remaining few seriously ill people to drink." Soon someone came in to change Zhao Bo's clothes and apply plasters. He also covered the place where Zhao Bo had painted it with soju and lime powder, and opened the window for ventilation.
After another day, Nan Lingmo asked, "How is it, the remaining patients who have taken the medicine have improved?" Several doctors nodded one after another and said, "County Lord, you are indeed the true inheritance of Doctor Jiang and Princess Jiang." ”
A guard hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words to Nan Ling Mo, who nodded to indicate that he understood. Then she turned to several doctors and said, "The epidemic in the refugee camp on the outskirts of Beijing has not yet eased, please ask a few imperial doctors to take care of the patients here, and the county lord will go to the refugee camp on the outskirts of Beijing immediately." ”
Refugee camp on the outskirts of Beijing
"Your Highness, thirteen more people have died today." A soldier hurriedly came in and reported, "The last general wants to burn the corpses, but now the families of those refugees will not let them." They all shouted that they must let their relatives be buried in peace. ”
His Royal Highness King Li frowned slightly and said: "How can this be put into the ground, this epidemic will pass people, and it must be burned with fire and lime and then filled." Otherwise, once it breaks out, the capital will not be stable. ”
"Isn't there an explanation from the Imperial Doctor?" Yun Tianhong asked helplessly.
"But Lord Wang, we don't have so many places to bury the corpse and set up a grave!"
Yun Tianhong and Yun Tiancheng looked at each other head-on, thinking of a way, and another soldier came in to report: "Two princes, the county lord of Ren'an has arrived." ”
"What?!" The two of them were shocked, Yun Tianhong frowned unhappily and said, "What is she doing here, how dangerous it is here, it's just nonsense!" ”
"Who said that the county lord is messing around?!" Nanling Mo walked into the camp in a hurry, and said while saluting: "The lord of this county is here to solve problems for the two highnesses!" I have seen two highnesses. ”
Yun Tianhong hurriedly pushed the wheelchair forward, grabbed her hand, looked her up and down, and said anxiously: "How can you come, this is an infected epidemic area, you can easily get sick when you come in, what if you have a case, what should I do?!" Yun Tianhong wanted to say something, but Nanling Mo raised his hand to stop him.
"I'm fine, don't you think I'm fine? I didn't come for nothing this time, I came with a prescription for treatment. Nan Lingmo said as he took out the prescription from his sleeve and showed it to the two highnesses: "Please see, you two, this prescription has been used by people who have suffered from the epidemic in Yunlu Academy, and it has already taken effect, so far only two people who have fallen ill in Yunlu Academy have died, and the others are already recovering." ”
"Really?" After hearing this, the eyes of the two lit up, and they said: "The Imperial Physician Department has sent the Imperial Doctor, and only the people who have been diagnosed and treated by Imperial Physician Xue have improved slightly, but none of them have recovered so far. This prescription? ”
"This recipe is constantly adjusted by me according to the situation of different infected people, until when I came out, more than 20 infected people in Yunlu Academy have improved, and the two highnesses don't believe it?" Nanling Mo said in a cold voice: "If the two highnesses doubt the ability of the county lord, then divide a few patients to the county lord, and the county lord should take care of himself." ”
After speaking, he ignored the expressions on the faces of the two, walked out directly, asked where the isolation area was, and walked straight there with Mei Xue.
Soon, Nanling Mo changed her clothes and gave the prescription to Imperial Doctor Xue and others. The people who came to the refugee camp on the outskirts of Beijing this time were headed by Imperial Doctor Xue, who happened to be the people of the Xuyue Pavilion himself, and Nanling Mo was very handy to summon them.
The news that the prescription brought by the lord of Ren'an could cure the infected people came in an instant in the refugee camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and many people cheered and cried happily. Nan Lingmo: What Nan Lingmo sees seriously from every infected person is the hope of survival. But there are still many people who are angry, because their family members who died of illness cannot be buried in peace.
On the night of Nanling's arrival, the pouring rain began again, and the original buried grave was washed away by the heavy rain, and the body was exposed again. Many refugees flocked to the places where their loved ones were buried, and the soldiers could not stop them, and riots were on the verge of breaking out. Nan Lingmo was treating patients in the house, and when she heard the situation outside, she came out to inquire and found out what was going on.
"It's not okay to go on like this, the body has to be burned and buried with lime, why did you just bury it and not burn it? In this way, the epidemic will spread again, and if we continue like this, we will work in vain! The disease will get worse and worse. ”
"There was no way, the refugees in the camp couldn't accept the burning of the corpses at all, so in desperation, the prince could only let people wrap them in straw mats and sprinkle them with lime in the burial place. But I didn't expect the heavy rain to wash it out......"
When Nanling Mo heard this, she hurriedly changed her clothes and ran to the camp, and said to the two highnesses like a burst of rain: "This is not good, once the corpse is washed out, the weather is so hot, it is very easy to cause decay, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the epidemic will be more serious, and it will not be only this epidemic!" The only way to do this is to burn the corpses and cover them with a thick layer of lime. ”
"But if you persuade them to burn the body and bury it, it's simply impossible!" His Royal Highness King Li said, "The custom of my Dayan country is to enter the earth for peace, and there is not even a corpse, how can it be safe." ”
Yun Tianhong also nodded after hearing this, agreeing with his fourth brother's statement. Nanling Mo sighed inwardly and said, "I know that this matter seems to be quite rebellious, and there are also national customs for me. But in extraordinary times, we should follow the law of the extraordinary, is it possible that all the refugees die here before it is over? ”
Yun Tianhong lowered his head and thought: Nanling Mo is right, there are now nearly 10,000 refugees in the suburbs of Beijing, and there is still a steady stream of refugees, it is really not a way to go on like this, the only feasible thing is to burn the corpses.
"Your Royal Highnesses, I know that burning corpses is not in line with the customs and habits of our Dayan Kingdom, but how to get everyone to agree, this is the matter of the two Highnesses, Ren'an will leave first." After saying that, he left the camp.
One night of heavy rain washed away, and all the 230 corpses that had been buried before were piled up together. The next day when the sun came out, the stench was full of flies, and the soldiers dug a big pit and planned to throw all the corpses into it and burn them. Sure enough, the refugees protested and clashed.
Yun Tianhong and His Royal Highness King Li came down to everyone, and Yun Tianhong used all his internal strength to say: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet." This king knows the truth of being buried in the earth, and he also knows that burning corpses is not in line with the national customs of my Dayan country. But now the situation is special, and as you have seen, it is very easy to cause another outbreak of the epidemic when the corpses are washed out. If there is another outbreak, all the people will die here. The king promises that if you agree to burn the corpses, the king will ask the emperor to erect a monument and build a shrine for your lost relatives, and lead the soldiers to worship together during the Qingming Festival every year. ”
As he spoke, Yuntian Hongyun Palace propped up his body, his eyes were red, and he knelt down on one leg in front of everyone, and His Royal Highness King Li also knelt down together, and said in unison: "My two brothers, on behalf of all the soldiers, send the dead refugees together." All the soldiers also knelt down on one leg with them. Yun Tianhong shouted: "Set fire, burn!" ”
With an order, the refugees had nothing to say when they saw this scene, so they hid their faces and wept, and the crying shook the sky for a while, making the eyes of the two highnesses Yun Tianhong and Yun Tiancheng sour.
Nanling Mo saw him kneeling from afar, and he was also full of emotion in his heart, and sighed secretly: Strange Dao Yun Tianfeng has been guarding against Yun Tianhong, just such a move can subdue people's hearts and appease people's hearts, not to mention the military heart?
After three days, the seriously ill patient has gradually stabilized and recovered; And the milder patients have also been cured. So far, everyone has finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The daily soup kitchens and other work in the refugee camp began to proceed in an orderly manner, and after the rain stopped, the refugees left the capital after receiving the money from the imperial court.
Yun Tianfeng was overjoyed when he knew about this, but he thought of Nanling Mo Nai Zhennan's daughter, if he was rewarded again, he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the Zhennan Wangfu.
Yun Tianfeng hurriedly went to find the Empress Dowager Chen, the Empress Dowager Chen has always disliked Nanling Mo, but she doesn't hate it either, and she doesn't want to get involved in this matter, so she only ordered Yun Tianfeng to watch it herself.
In the end, it was the noble concubine Sima Jingjing who learned of this and said, "Your Majesty, what's so difficult about this? The lord of Ren'an County is a king with a different surname, and at most he is a second product. Now that he has made a great contribution, he has been crowned from the county lord of Yipin, which is equivalent to the county lord of Zhaoyan, the concubine of the emperor's uncle. ”
Yun Tianfeng pondered and said: "It is a good choice to be crowned from the first-grade county lord, which is equivalent to the royal county lord, and then let the Ministry of Rites re-canonize according to the title of the royal county lord." ”
"Your Majesty, why don't you personally draw up a title as a reward?" The concubine said softly.
"Then which word does Concubine Ai think is good?"
"The concubine thinks that the title of the lord of Ren'an County in the past is Ren'an County, and this word benevolence is very good."
"'Ren'? Lord Shohito? Yun Tianfeng muttered, "This Ren'an County Lord has developed a prescription for the treatment of the epidemic by himself, and he is really a person of great benevolence, and this benevolent word is indeed good." In his heart, he secretly sighed that King Zhennan had given birth to a good daughter, but unfortunately this appearance was really unsightly and could not enter the palace, and the marriage decree was announced to the world, otherwise he really had the idea of welcoming her into the palace.
"Aifei, you have been a vegetarian for nearly a month for the plague for several days, and everyone has lost weight, so why don't I go to your palace tonight to accompany you!"
"Your Majesty, the concubines are praying for natural disasters and refugees to be vegetarian, why don't Your Majesty go and see the other sisters!" After speaking, Sima Jingjing quickly disappeared into the imperial study.
