On the first day of the new year, Liu Zhi decided to change the era name again, Jianning, the stolen era name, had already completed his mission and was no longer needed.

At the banquet on the first day, Liu Zhi lazily reclined on the couch, watching the courtiers sitting in a precarious position, and raising their glasses to congratulate him.

Suddenly, he felt something, and wrote the word "Changkang" with a pen, and now he has nothing else to want, and his greatest wish is that his body will be healthy for a long time.

I hope that the whole Han will be the same for a long time, healthy and peaceful.

The ministers shouted long live in unison, which was the first year of Changkang.

The first year of Changkang was a watershed in the career of Emperor Liu Zhi, and from this year, he gradually reduced his government affairs.

However, the crown prince Liu Jin began to emerge temporarily and officially stepped into the ever-changing Han court.

As spring blossomed, Liu Zhi's condition finally began to show signs of improvement, and his tongue began to move on its own.

Although I still feel very stiff, at least I have seen the results, proving that this treatment plan is correct, but the effect is too slow, and the waiting is anxious.

As his tongue began to improve, his balance improved, and he no longer wrestled at every turn, making Zhang Rang nervous all day long, following him anytime and anywhere, ready to reach out to support him.

In order to regain his health, he has even quit drinking, and he does not even dare to eat his favorite chili pepper.

However, the era name of Changkang did not bring health to the Han Dynasty, and the weather this year was very abnormal, with hot days and cold days, completely reversing yin and yang.

When the rainy season came in Koto, it rained for thirty or forty days in a row, which was only encountered when he first ascended the throne.

That year, the Jianghuai flood and the Jingzhou flood can be said to have killed and injured countless people, and it was also from that time that the Han Dynasty built water conservancy with the strength of the whole country.

In the past ten years, although the weather is still abnormal, there has never been such a major flood.

Sometimes Liu Zhi always thinks that this may be his punishment for forcibly changing history.

Although the water conservancy facilities in Dahan are very comprehensive, the Yangtze River still cannot withstand such a huge and abundant rainfall.

Seeing that starting from Chuzhou, Xiangzhou, Jiangzhou, and Yangzhou are in an emergency all the way, and the affected area is very extensive, and they are all rich places in Jiangdong.

There is no doubt that this year's grain harvest in this area will fail, but the question is that it is difficult to predict whether there will be a danger of bursting the levee if the rain continues.

With modern advanced water conservancy technology, it is still impossible to resist the super-large flood peak, not to mention the Eastern Han Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago.

At this time, Liu Zhi couldn't care about his condition, and immediately ordered emergency support from all over the country.

Under normal circumstances, major decisions can only be made after the public discussion of the imperial court, but the emperor still has the power of emergency orders.

In special cases, it is possible to bypass all the imperial departments and issue edicts directly, which is also the embodiment of absolute imperial power.

In order to save time, as soon as Liu Zhi received an urgent response from Jianghuai, he immediately issued an urgent order to the relevant departments.

After more than 20 years of affluent life, the people of Dahan have long forgotten the hardships and dangers of the past, and although the water level of the Yangtze River has repeatedly exceeded the warning line, some local governments still have not paid enough attention.

Liu Zhi directly asked the neighboring states of the Central Plains to rush to help, and the best rescue force at this time was the local army.

They were well-trained, and all of them were young and middle-aged, and they all set off without hesitation when they received orders.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry also took urgent action to dispatch technical support and relief materials.

Fortunately, compared with 20 years ago, the current Han Dynasty is no longer the same, at least in various materials, there will be no shortage of any more phenomena.

In the midst of the chaos, the crown prince Liu Jin ran to Liu Zhi and took the initiative to ask for help, asking to go to Jianghuai to command the flood rescue.

Originally, Liu Jin thought that his father would definitely agree, because he had always encouraged him to do it himself, learn more and be familiar with how to deal with various unexpected situations.

It's a great opportunity to exercise for something as big as this now.

Liu Zhi reluctantly wrote: "You are the crown prince, the future ruler of the country, remember that you must not put yourself in danger at any time."

Because your life is not only your own, but also the stability of the whole country. ”

Liu Jin was thoughtful, and only replied in a deep voice after a long time: "Thank you for my father's teachings, my son understands." ”

"You...... Let's go to the household department first...... Take a look at the supplies...... Circumstance. ”

Liu Zhi waved his hand, the child is still too young, with enthusiasm, ambition, and motivation. But all this is not enough, he needs more experience, a more mature way of thinking.

can afford such a huge country, otherwise a slight difference will cause turmoil.

Liu Jin was about to leave, when suddenly he seemed to have discovered something big and turned back in surprise.

"Father, you can speak!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, he did say a sentence just now, although it was a little intermittent and not smooth.

But at least it was the first sentence that he had been speechless for nearly two years, clear and complete.

"yes, I can speak, hahaha......"

Liu Zhi burst out into a hearty laugh, and the guards outside the hall all looked at each other with a look of surprise.

Your Majesty hasn't laughed so heartily for a few years, what good things happened today.

Liu Jin was also so excited that he almost danced, and hugged Liu Zhi's arm excitedly.

"Father, this is great, this is great!"

The prince, who is usually steady and self-controlled, is completely out of shape at this time, and he can't help crying with joy.

At this moment, he is still a dignified and old crown prince, he is just a son who is happy for his father.

"I'm going to tell my mother the good news right away and make her happy."

Liu Jin, who was excited, got up and ran, and saw that the palace people outside were all dumbfounded, if it weren't for the prince's clothes on his body, he would have thought he was a lively and cheerful Liu Yu.

Soon Empress Deng Meng received the news, and while sending someone to inform the eldest princess Liu Hua and Liu Yu, the king of Xiangyang, she ran over as fast as she could.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince said that your voice has been restored, right?"

Looking at the queen who ran red, Liu Zhi felt a warm current in his heart, in his heart, maybe Deng Meng is not the only woman, but he will always be the most special one.

"Ah Meng, wipe your sweat."

Although Liu Zhi's tongue has just recovered, he is not very flexible and cannot speak particularly long sentences, so he can only cherish words like gold and try to be frugal.

A long-lost sentence made Deng Meng burst into tears, choked up and speechless, "Your Majesty ......"

Liu Zhi reached out to hug her and patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Okay, don't cry." ”

"Well, this is a happy thing, and it should be announced to the world at once, so that all the people can celebrate together."

Liu Zhi naturally understood what she meant, at this time, the people of Jianghuai Rainstorm were panicked, and this news could effectively relieve tension.

"I'll listen to you."

These days, Deng Meng has devoted himself to tutoring his son's homework, and his decision-making ability for the government has also improved a lot.

However, Liu Zhi did not have any unhappy mood, he knew Deng Meng better, and he would never be a tyrannical queen mother in the future.

Soon, the good news that His Majesty had regained his ability to speak, as if he had grown wings, quickly flew all over the imperial city, and then the ministers of civil and military affairs also received the news.

All the ministers rushed to the Zhongde Hall as fast as they could, and after so long, many of them had long lost hope for His Majesty's recovery.

Now, all of a sudden, His Majesty has made a miraculous recovery, which is really beyond everyone's expectations.

Soon, the important ministers of the imperial court gathered in the study of Dedian, Liu Zhi had just regained his language ability, and he could not speak very well, so he could only speak a few short sentences.

These two sentences are just more symbolic, and most of the courtiers rejoice, and a few have mixed feelings in their hearts.

To this day, there were some old-fashioned courtiers in the court, who were always opposed to the emperor's reforms, and these people were trained in traditional Confucianism and came from wealthy families.

He was very dissatisfied with Liu Zhi's behavior of advocating the hundred schools, thinking that it had messed up the etiquette of heaven and earth, but because most of the people in the court were Liu Zhi's cronies, he had no choice but to follow the crowd.

But this does not mean that they are dead, especially after Liu Zhi fell ill this time, some people began to think crookedly.

I hope that in the future, in the prince, he will be able to change the world again, in the minds of these people, the situation in the early years of Guangwu is the ideal state in their minds.

The emperor and the family ruled the world together, and they relied on each other indispensably, and now in Liu Zhi's hands, the family class is rapidly declining.

Many poor people have climbed up little by little, and even people from poor backgrounds like Chen Yu have also become feudal officials.

Sitting on an equal footing with such a person is simply a great shame for those old families.

Before, under Liu Zhi's absolute authority, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, but now they finally saw hope, but they were ruthlessly extinguished.

The palace issued an edict, His Majesty's body recovered, the capital celebrated for three days, and the national agricultural tax was reduced for another year.

Because of the abnormal climate this year and the increase in natural disasters, Liu Zhi had the intention of reducing or reducing the taxes of the peasants, but he just used this excuse to take advantage of this.

As soon as this news came out, the people of the world were settled, and the emperor was auspicious, and it was a miracle that he could recover from such a serious illness.

The Heavenly Master Sect took the opportunity to preach that His Majesty was the son of God, and his luck was increased, which could bless the peace and peace of the Han Dynasty.

It is an irrefutable truth that there must be a great epidemic in a year of great disaster, and although disaster relief is being carried out urgently, as the center of the imperial court, it is necessary to start preventing the epidemic in advance.

After the flood more than ten years ago, there was an overwhelming outbreak of cholera, when Dou Yun personally went to the disaster area, together with famous doctors from all over the country, it took more than half a year to finally extinguish the plague.

Not only that, but it has also brought the treatment and prevention of plague to a new realm.

In the past two decades, although the Han Dynasty has not been able to completely eradicate the plague, it has gradually formed an institutionalization in terms of prevention.

The quarantine policy at the time of the plague was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and once the signs were found, the local doctors would isolate the patients as soon as possible to prevent it from spreading.

In addition, Dahan's hygiene concept has also been improved a lot, animal carcasses are not allowed to be thrown indiscriminately, and pits must be dug and buried deeply.

In addition, the protection of water sources is also carried out consistently, and in places with abundant water resources, drinking water and washing water will be separated.

However, in areas where water resources are already scarce, this is not possible, so it is still not possible to stop the spread of germs in the first place.

Over the years, there have been small-scale outbreaks of typhoid, cholera, malaria, leprosy, rabies, etc., except that there have been no large-scale epidemics.

In view of the current bad situation in the south, Liu Zhi immediately organized various departments to hold a court meeting, and this time it was different from the past, and he also joined the Tai Hospital and the Medical College.

After the floods, cholera is the most common type of drinking water that is most likely to occur, and malaria is more common in the summer when mosquitoes are rampant in the south.

Because of the torrential rain, the sudden heat and cold, the temperature epidemic in typhoid fever is also likely to break out.

After some deliberation, it was agreed that the emergency system should be activated quickly, and this time, the Tai Hospital and the School of Medicine took the lead and mobilized many students from the college to rush to Jianghuai together.

At the same time, doctors were urgently recruited throughout the country to go to the national crisis, and all localities were required to contribute some medical supplies and medicinal materials.

This time it was Zhang Zhi who led the team, and the older generation of doctors was too old to work at such a high intensity.

Therefore, the people sent are all young and middle-aged doctors in the prime of life, and they are also the backbone of the Han medical community.

Before leaving, Liu Zhi specially summoned Zhang Zhi and told him about his division going to Jianghuai for disaster relief, and the two had a hearty conversation.

Between Liu Zhi and Dou Yun, it was Liu Zhi who fulfilled Dou Yun's life, but Dou Yun repaid it with his life.

Now Zhang Zhi has inherited his teacher's medical skills, as well as his medical ethics and aspirations.

There is a kind of person in this world who is really selfless, which makes people have to admire it so much.

In the past two years, Zhang Zhi has been treating Liu Zhi with his teacher Dou Yun, and has also formed a deep friendship with His Majesty.

Liu Zhi's smooth recovery is inseparable from his efforts, so he specially set up a banquet to entertain him and practice it.

"No matter what problems you have, you can report them directly to me through Long Linwei, as long as the big man can do it, just bring it up."

From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin dynasties, he was deeply impressed by the three-hundred-year plague, tens of millions of people died from the epidemic, and many places became deserted.

What hell was on earth, Liu Zhi felt that he couldn't imagine that the climate during the Xiaoice River was abnormal, and his livelihood was already difficult.

If the plague is not stopped, it will be empty, and all prosperity will be in vain.

That's why for so many years, he paid so much attention to medicine, because he was worried that a great plague of the century would ruin all his efforts.

Zhang Zhi didn't expect Liu Zhi to pay attention to it to such an extent, so he immediately became excited and solemnly dressed and bowed.

"Your Majesty, the minister will not fail in his mission."

As it turned out, the imperial court was very correct in taking precautions, and Yangzhou was the most under flood pressure because of its proximity to the sea.

Many tributaries have broken their banks, and several reservoirs and lakes have collapsed, causing widespread flooding.

Despite the timely assistance of local officials, the ensuing epidemic of cholera and malaria swept through the country......
