Chapter 367: Life is like a reverse journey
Three days later, Liu Daxia set off for his hometown.
Because he was a criminal minister, he did not come as a courtier to see him off.
Fortunately, in the past few days, old acquaintances from the past have come to visit, and he also specially went to Ma Wensheng, Wang Heng and Zeng Jian to explain some things.
At the moment, he is relaxed, but there is not too much sadness, but there is a deep sense of leisure, he has done what he should do, and he can enjoy his old age in peace, which is a beautiful thing that many ministers can't ask for.
Walking on the road to Tongxian, Liu Daxia remembered the days when he came to Beijing to participate in the scientific expedition many years ago, and he also took this road at that time.
Suddenly, he realized that decades had passed, as if all had not changed, and the hotel he lived in that day was still there, but the canal had already been silted up in the Tongzhou section, so it was impossible to sail.
He couldn't help sighing: "More than 20 years is like a dream, although this body is shocking. Idle on the small pavilion to see the new sunshine, how many things in ancient and modern times, the fishing sang three watches. ”
After speaking, he got into the carriage, which was a gift from the Huang people, and it was much better than the carriage of the Ming Dynasty.
He felt that if he brought the carriage back to his hometown, he could disassemble it and study it himself, and in his later years, he would not be too idle.
In this way, Liu Daxia, an old minister who had gone through three dynasties, left the capital division, only half a year later than another time and space.
In another time and space, after the death of Xiaozong, Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne.
Liu Daxia was edicted by the first emperor to request the removal of the eunuchs of the Quartet within the non-quota, and Zhu Houzhao had already favored Liu Jin at that time, so he only removed Junzhou Qi Yuan.
He also advocated that twenty-four eunuchs should be removed, and the eunuchs guarding the imperial city and the capital should be reduced, but they were not accepted.
Soon after, he listed 683 military ministers who should be eliminated, which was approved.
In the spring of the first year of Zhengde, Liu Daxia played again: "The eunuchs guarding the town, such as Dong Rang in Jiangxi, Liu Lang in Jizhou, Liu Yun in Shaanxi, and Zhu Yun in Shandong, are particularly greedy and cruel, and they request to be reviewed and punished." ”
Zhu Houzhao was unhappy, Liu Daxia knew that his opinion was not adopted, and asked for his resignation several times.
In May of the same year, Zhu Houzhao issued an edict to crown him as the crown prince and Taibao, and agreed that he would return to his hometown to give edicts, chariots and horses to return, and supply food and servants according to the old system. In the matter, Wang Yi and Zhang Xian asked to keep Liu Daxia, and the officials also asked to keep Liu Daxia, but Zhu Houzhao ignored them.
Therefore, throughout the Hongzhi Dynasty, Liu Daxia has always complemented Emperor Hongzhi, not just lip service. He quelled civil unrest and mutiny several times, but also deeply felt the erosion of the nine sides, and was forced by the situation to reform.
It's just that he also has the limitations of traditional Confucian scholars, and most of the reform policies he came up with were to emphasize the rule of people, rather than to change the system, so in the environment at that time, it was actually difficult to implement.
After all, most of the rest of the officials are opposed to large-scale reforms, but have always been committed to the so-called overall situation.
As for Liu Daxia's biggest black spot, it was the burning of Zheng He's chart, but this matter was doubtful, and more importantly, he tried his best to prevent him from going to the West again.
In some historical materials related to the Ming Dynasty, there are also different opinions on this matter. Some say that Liu Daxia deliberately hid the archives in order to prevent the emperor from going to the West again, such as Wanbiao's "Zhuo Ai Yuji" and Yan Congjian's "Shuyu Zhou Consultation".
Some people also say that Liu Daxia directly burned these files in order to make the emperor die, such as Gu Qiyuan's "Guest Words".
And Liu Daxia's statement that he burned Zheng He's archives is also derived from a sentence recorded in the "Shuyu Zhou Consultation".
Liu Daxia commented on the West and said: "The Three Treasures (Zheng He) went to the West, wasted hundreds of thousands of money and grain, and the soldiers and civilians died and tens of thousands, even if they got the treasure and returned, what benefit would it be to the country!" This is a special time to govern, and the minister should advise him. Although there are old cases, they should be destroyed to uproot them. ”
It is precisely because of this sentence that the scholar Gu Qiyuan wrote "Guest Words" during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. In the book, Gu Qiyuan changed this passage from "although the case is there, it should be destroyed" contained in the previous documents to "take it and burn it".
This is probably the earliest and most authoritative basis for later scholars to find out that Liu Daxia burned Zheng He's navigation charts.
But no matter what you say, Liu Daxia belongs to the traditional Confucian scholars, who can do practical things, do not charge "envy", and is honest and honest, so he can really worry about the country's worries. The limitation is reflected in the fact that he can't put down his body and sticks to what he shouldn't hold onto.
This can only be regarded as a matter of cognition, he is like the vast majority of scholars and doctors in the late Qing Dynasty, when he was stunned by strange tricks, he put down his body and began to examine it carefully.

Ningbo, Mingxi Town.
The fight against schistosomiasis has been going on for almost four months, and in more than a dozen villages, very effective results have been achieved.
The medicines used are all easily available herbs, and the most important thing is to popularize the knowledge of prevention, so that the people here know how schistosomiasis is transmitted.
For example, do not drink raw water, do not eat snails, do not eat mussels, crabs, and shrimps in the water, properly dispose of human and animal feces, and wash hands frequently.
In general, if the disease is mild, as long as you take the medicinal juice made of petunia nigaff, neem bark, dried betel nut, crane grass sprouts, verbena, Su leaves, Artemisia annua and other medicinal materials, pull the stomach for half a month, and then regulate it for a while.
If it is severe, it is necessary to take fierce drugs, which are often some slightly toxic drugs, betting on patients and insects to see who lives harder.
At first, the people here were quite resistant, and it was not until the Huaxia medical team cured some cold patients for free that they were convinced that this group of people was here to help them.
After more than a dozen mild illnesses were cured, these people obeyed the words of the Huaxia Army, and the spread spread of ten, ten, and hundreds, and the people in the sick village next door also came to ask for medicine.
The Huaxia medical team did not refuse to come, and the method was to listen to the prevention lecture first, and then distribute the medicine.
It is impossible for them to take root here and fight all the time, so they can only popularize some common sense and pharmacy as soon as possible, so that the patients here can control some basic schistosomiasis knowledge.
According to the plan, after they completed the task of resisting in Mingxi Town, they could set off for a triumphant retreat, and the large army could have triumphed a long time ago, but the soldiers of each battalion responded positively, and they must wait for the medical team to return to the camp before triumphant together.
This touched the members of the medical team, and they all wanted to finish their tasks early and go home with the large army.
Lu Lishu is a member of the medical team, and at the moment she is wearing a white uniform with a golden lotus flower on her arm. This is the logo of the medical workers of the Chinese country, symbolizing the use of medical skills to benefit all sentient beings.
Since studying medicine in Dongqin, Lu Lishu has liked the atmosphere of Dongqin very much, and feels that working with these comrades is a rare easy day in her life.
She carefully examined the belly circumference of a patient and found that the patient's big belly was already smaller than five days ago, and it seemed that the medicine had worked.
Just when she saw a large bucket of the patient's excrement, she still couldn't help but want to vomit.
"What? I want to vomit again! Come to a piece? Du Wensong didn't know when he came behind her.
"Well, no need, just get used to it if you spit it out again!" Lu Lishu smiled awkwardly.
"Then let's rest for a while! There is no urgency, and the number of patients has decreased a lot these days. Du Wensong picked up the pickles in his hand and chewed them.
Lu Lishu also sat down on the side and asked, "I heard that the other two teams have completed their tasks, is it just us?" ”
"It should be, they don't like us, we are in charge of a big town!"
"Then it's better to hurry up and don't delay the other comrades going home."
Du Wensong couldn't help but smile and said: "If you call yourself a comrade, you should know that no comrade will resent other comrades because of such a trivial matter!" ”
Lu Lishu also smiled, since she went to Dongqin, she felt that she wanted to study medicine after only five or six days.
With her literacy, coupled with some knowledge of Chinese medicine passed down from her family, she was quickly selected.
During this period, they had been living in Du Wensong's house, and after studying for a few months, they encountered a war, and their new nurses were also urgently recruited to the battlefield.
originally thought it would be very tragic, but along the way, they treated the wounded soldiers of the Ming army the most.
"Then after returning to Eastern Qin, do you still continue to study?" Lu Lishu asked.
Du Wensong nodded: "This is natural, I am determined to enter the medical group, the king has always said that medicine is still too backward, and many things still need to be studied hard!" ”
Lu Lishu looked into the distance, and asked after a long time, "Can I go?" ”
"Do you have a secondary school education?"
"I'm literate!"
"That's not enough, after you go back to Dongqin, you can sign up for a night shift! Then, as long as you pass the middle school exam, you can get your academic qualifications, and then you will be able to continue your studies! ”
"Huh? And what's going on? ”
"Don't you know?"
Lu Lishu was extremely surprised, she stood up happily and said, "Is this true?" Didn't you bluff me? ”
"What am I trying to do to you? Many workers now like to go to night school, saying that it doesn't hurt to read more! ”
Lu Lishu laughed loudly, laughing extremely freely: "Okay, I'm going to work, and after I return to Dongqin, I'm going to the medical team too!" ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and trotted away with his eyebrows crooked.
Du Wensong smiled for a while, and stuffed all the remaining pickles in his hand.
