Volume 2: Omnipotence Chapter 37: To the South
Xiong Zongli was furious by Zhu Qizhen's eyes, and he touched his cheek, as if he wanted to find something.
"Your Majesty, don't look at me like that, what's the problem?"
Zhu Qizhen shook his head, he didn't dwell on this matter anymore, after all, he didn't see it with his own eyes, and he couldn't be sure that what Xiong Zongli said was the same as what he understood, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain why antibiotic drugs were so expensive in World War II.
Zhu Qizhen's thoughts drifted away for a while, he was confused about the legends on the land of China, whether there was really a basis in reality, and whether those magical people and things existed.
Xiong Zongli looked at Zhu Qizhen, who was obviously absent, and was a little at a loss, he just said something numb, and the emperor seemed to think of many things.
"Emperor, Emperor? Please follow this recipe to grab the medicine, and the minister will retire first. β
Zhu Qizhen came back to his senses at this time, looking at Xiong Zongli, who was obviously full of young vitality, he actually felt that the other party was so free, and even jealous that he could be so free.
"Dao Xuan, are you in such a hurry to go home, is Madame waiting for you?" Zhu Qizhen quipped.
Xiong Zongli shook his head helplessly: "The emperor should not make fun of the minister, it's just that the emperor said a few days ago about the prescription for treating malaria, and the minister wants to go back to study and study it, so as to go to Qiongzhou as soon as possible to try it." β
Zhu Qizhen was also interested when he heard it, so he asked, "How is it?" But useful? β
Xiong Zongli shook his head and said with some uncertainty: "After carefully checking the medical skills and looking for the previous classics, he determined that Ge Tianshi at that time used Artemisia annua as medicine. But after all, it has not been used on patients, and no further progress can be made now. β
"Then why don't you find a few patients in the capital to try, is the condition different?" Zhu Qizhen asked puzzled.
"The capital is the best place at the foot of the Son of Heaven, protected by dragon energy, and since ancient times, various epidemics have rarely occurred, and malaria people are almost gone." Xiong Zongli replied.
Of course, Zhu Qizhen would not believe in the statement of dragon qi protection, and if he thought about it carefully, it should be that the management of the street environment in the capital is stricter. Officials at all levels are afraid that if the emperor leaves the palace and sees that his jurisdiction is dirty and messy, he will be angry and sinful, which is the root cause of few epidemics, right?
By the way, in the oracle bone inscriptions of Yinxu, the plague has been recorded in words such as scabies, malaria, first wind, and disease year. In addition, there are descriptions of plague in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Zhou Li, Tianguan, Fengzai", and "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn and Ji Chunji".
As early as the Qin Dynasty, China had the foresight to combine environmental sanitation and epidemic prevention, and formed a complete system. For example, it is clearly stipulated that garbage cannot be dumped, and even dust dumping on the side of the road is punished, and in the event of an epidemic, the carriages entering and leaving the Qin State must be smoked and disinfected, and quarantine measures have appeared even earlier.
(A colleague said that the ancients were very dirty, and there were piles of garbage as high as mountains on both sides of the road.) Although I don't believe it, I don't know the real situation, and today I can be regarded as avenging the ancients. οΌ
"And when are you going to go?" Zhu Qizhen asked.
"I was going to leave in the next two days, but you suddenly contracted a cold, so I waited until you got well before leaving." Xiong Zongli didn't save face for Zhu Qizhen.
"Can't you let the local people try?" Zhu Qizhen was a little curious.
But Xiong Zongli said very firmly: "The minister must personally make sure that the prescription is safe!" And he also wants to witness the demise of malaria for himself! This is the pursuit of being a doctor. He did not shy away from Zhu Qizhen's presence at all, because the prescription was provided by Zhu Qizhen, so he had some scruples.
"But I delayed you from saving people."
"Don't dare, the verification and popularization of prescriptions require long-term tracking of different patients' conditions, and there will be a difference in a day or two, Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself! Besides, the minister did send your idea to Qiongzhou for them to try first. β
Zhu Qizhen's heart moved, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and it was getting stronger and stronger, he was eager to see the current Daming!
"Why don't I go and see if this ancient recipe is useful!"
"Your Majesty! You are the foundation of the country, and you must not be moved lightly! Kim Ying was shocked.
Zhu Qizhen didn't care about him, and opened the old man's note in his hand, and his thoughts became stronger and stronger.
Xiong Zongli was also taken aback by Zhu Qizhen, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The minister invites the emperor to recuperate in the palace!" β
"Didn't you just say that I was depressed? In this palace, I'm afraid I can only get sick. β
"Okay, Jin Ying, you just say that I can't go to court in the cold of the wind, focus on Yu Qian to deal with daily political affairs, and let him make decisions."
Just do it, Zhu Qizhen began to let people pack their luggage.
Jin Ying stood aside and looked at the emperor on a whim, he wanted to persuade a few more words, but before he could speak, he was blocked back by Zhu Qizhen.
Xiong Zongli also looked at the busy emperor sluggishly, and his mind was full of his tolerance to leave as soon as he said it......
An hour later, Xiong Zong was on the house
Zhu Qizhen sat in the carriage outside the door, surrounded by Guo Mao, Li Xian, Shang Chen, and a small eunuch named Jin Qi, and Fan Zhong drove outside.
"Lao Guo, let the local Jinyi guard take care of Erwang's affairs, you have ordered it to go down, right?" Zhu Qizhen asked a little uneasily.
Guo Mao snorted and said in a tangled voice: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the things you explain will definitely be done." It's just that you still think about it again, Qiongzhou is a long way from the mountains, it's really ......"
"That's it! I've made up my mind, just get your errand done. Zhu Qizhen interrupted Guo Mao impatiently.
"And there will be no emperor in the future, call me Zhu Gongzi, you two are the guardians of the family, and you two are companion reading children, remember!" Zhu Qizhen instructed the four of them.
The four of them looked at each other helplessly, what else could they do but accept?
"Xianggong, you are going thousands of miles, but you must take care of yourself, I will wait for you to come back with the child."
Mrs. Xiong's worry was overflowing, and the children around her were reluctant to look at their father.
Xiong Zongli rubbed the child's head and said, "There are people sent by the imperial court to escort you all the way, naturally it will be fine, you and the child live at home with peace of mind, and wait for me to come back." β
Madame Xiong nodded silently, and the envoy did not hesitate any longer, turned around and entered the carriage, and the carriage started slowly.
"You have to work for your lords, suddenly there is no preparation at home, and when you come back, you will definitely be entertained." Mrs. Xiong said to several people in the car.
"Let's go back!" When the words fell, Xiong Zongli quickly retracted his body, not daring to look at it again.
"Your Majesty, don't look at me like that, I'm afraid that my wife will give them up." Xiong Zongli said but began to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"I have long heard that the envoy of the Xiong Yuan and his sister-in-law are in love, and when I see it today, it is really an enviable fairy couple." Li Xian sighed with emotion, and the mood in the car quietly changed.
"Your Majesty, which way shall we go?" Fan Zhong, who was driving, asked.
"It's called Zhu Gongzi!" Zhu Qizhen reminded helplessly.
I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth
"Target Kaifeng Mansion!"
The carriage rode out of the capital, and the city gate behind it slowly closed in the afterglow of the setting sun.
