Early this morning, on the streets of Chang'an.

The night was gloomy. A man knocked on the clapper and shouted: "The weather is dry, be careful of the fire and candle." He patrolled the streets as usual.

As he walked, he felt his bladder swollen and a urge to urinate. He hurried a few steps, found a corner of the street, and got into the dark shadow, hoping to make it easier.

Suddenly, something touched his feet. When he looked carefully, he was frightened and sweated. He felt hot in his crotch and peeing flowed down his thighs.

At his feet, there was a dead body, and there was a dead body not far away. He screamed, threw away the clapper in his hand, and ran away.

That night, the officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Guard patrol all night found many beggars' bodies on the streets, and these bodies emitted foul smells without exception!

Liangyi Hall, study room.

Early in the morning, Li Shimin was woken up by Wang De and said that Yuchi Gong had an urgent matter. Li Shimin listened briefly and immediately went to Liangyi Hall, and at the same time ordered to exempt him from the morning court today.

Not long after, all the important officials of the court rushed to Liangyi Hall to listen to the reports of Yuchi Gong and Jingzhao Yin Chuheng.

??Yuchi Gong said: "Last night, the Jinwu Guard Patrol found about forty bodies on the streets, and found about hundreds of beggars with patients of varying degrees."

Chu Heng said: "This morning, I received a report that a large number of patients were found in various parts of Chang'an city, and 106 confirmed deaths have been confirmed. I have sent people to inspect the situation. The specific situation has not been summarized yet."

Li Shimin asked: "What does the Imperial Hospital say?"

Liu Quanzhong, the head of the Imperial Hospital, said: "Your Majesty, I have tested the patient and can judge that this is a plague, which is called cold and fever.

Cold and fever syndrome, also known as typhoid fever syndrome, has existed since ancient times. During the reign of the Qin Dynasty, large-scale cold and fever syndrome broke out in the Jianghuai area, involving 146 counties, with as many as 590,000 deaths.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, large-scale cold and fever symptoms also occurred in Luoyang. Zhang Zhongjing wrote in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases": "There are many clans in my family, and Xiang Yu has two hundred. Since the Jian'an Chronicle (196 AD), two-thirds of the deaths were two-thirds, and seven-tenths of the typhoid fever were among the ten years. "It is said that two-thirds of his clan died in ten years, and the main deaths were from typhoid fever.

During the Hongwu period of the Jin Dynasty…”

"Okay. Don't say these useless things anymore. I'll ask you, is there any good prescription for treating cold and heat?"

Li Shimin had already understood it, and was too lazy to listen to his long-windedness, so he interrupted him directly.

?Liu Quanzhong said: "Zhang Zhongjing recorded in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" that three liang of cinnamon twigs (peeled), three liang of peony, two liang of licorice, three liang of ginger, and 12 jujubes. Add water to decoct and cook, and take it while it is hot to make it sweat."

??Before he finished speaking, Wang De came in in panic and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Empress is not good."

???Li Shimin stood up and asked, "How is the queen?"

??Wang De said: "The Empress's condition suddenly broke out and she had fainted."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun have a deep relationship and are temporarily unwilling to deal with the government affairs. While walking, he said, "The prince and Fang Xuanling are responsible for the prevention and control of the epidemic."

After saying that, he hurriedly left.

After Li Shimin left, Li Chengqian asked, "Sir, what are your opinions?"

Fang Xuanling said: "The Imperial Hospital should come up with a treatment plan for this matter, and each department will cooperate with it."

Li Chengqian asked: "Imperial Hospital, what are you going to do about it?"

Liu Quanzhong has been in the Imperial Hospital for more than ten years and has seen various situations and is experienced. He said: "Your Highness, this disease is very contagious. You should immediately block the city gates and various traffic roads to avoid spreading everywhere.

Patients who are already ill should also be isolated quickly.

According to the prescription provided just now, a large amount of medicinal materials were prepared to treat patients with the disease.

However, the Imperial Hospital lacks staff, so I asked His Highness the Crown Prince to send someone to help."

Li Chengqian understood, he thought for a moment and said, "According to the Imperial Hospital's plan, the Jinwu Guard is responsible for closing the city gate and blocking traffic, Jingzhao Mansion is responsible for isolating patients, and Qianniu Guard selects personnel to cooperate with the Imperial Hospital to prepare drugs.

This matter is coordinated by Lord Fang, and all the adults are waiting to be dispatched."

At this time, Li Chengqian acted decisively and handled it properly. Everyone followed the instructions and started taking action immediately.

Li Chengqian was thinking about his mother's condition and hurried to Lizheng Hall.

Li Zheng Hall.

During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Empress Changsun dragged her newly given birth body and went to seek help in the rain, and she fell into the root of asthma. This cold and heat disease is actually influenza, which is a fatal blow to her.

The flu has an incubation period of 2-7 days. A palace maid accidentally contracted the flu and spread it to Empress Changsun. Before the palace maid became ill, Empress Changsun fell ill first.

At this moment, Li Shimin and others surrounded her sickbed, frowning.

In the hall outside the Lizheng Hall, the concubines and princes were all outside, waiting anxiously for news from the bedroom.

Yang Xingyuan, the magistrate of the Imperial Hospital (the deputy director) and several imperial doctors stood aside, and they were even more uneasy. They had already given the medicine to the Queen and were waiting for her to wake up.

Time passed by minute by minute, and until noon, Empress Changsun still did not wake up.

At this time, bad news came - the prescription prescribed by the Imperial Hospital was not effective, and many patients in isolation died.

Li Shimin was anxious and said angrily: "Imperial Hospital, are you wastes, what if you do?

If the queen can't wake up, I will kill you all!"

The imperial physicians knelt on the ground one by one, not daring to show off, for fear of angering the already furious Tyrannosaurus Rex.

At this time, Liu Quanzhong, the head of the Imperial Hospital Hospital, rushed over. He said with a shame: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent, and I can't think of any better way for a moment."

Li Shimin still trusted Liu Quanzhong. When he heard him say such words, his heart suddenly became cold. He sat blankly on the chair, looking at the unconscious Queen Changsun, shed tears of pain.

After a while, he mechanically walked to Empress Changsun's side and whispered to her nickname: "Guanyin maid, Guanyin maid, wake up."

Li Chengqian, Li Tai and other legitimate sons, who were standing aside, were all crying and in pain.

At this time, a maid came over with a bowl of egg custard, wanting to see if Queen Changsun could eat. Seeing the scene inside, she quietly retreated out.

Unexpectedly, one of her skirts was opened, she stepped on it and fell to the ground. The plate and porcelain bowl in her hand fell to the ground, making a scammering sound.

Li Shimin was furious and shouted: "Damn bitch, drag it out and kill it with a stick!"

Li Chengqian also woke up from the pain. Seeing the broken bowls on the ground and the egg custard sprinkled on the ground, a light flashed in his heart. He shouted, "Father, fifth brother, fifth brother may have a way."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he thought to himself: "Li You, this foodie, will work as soon as he eats it. Maybe he really has a way!"

He shouted loudly: "Hurry, hurry up and pass Li You into the palace!"

At this time, he saw the eunuchs dragging the palace maid out, waved their hands, and said, "Forget it."

The palace maid saved her life and quickly kowtowed and left.

Li You received an imperial edict, ordering Yuchi Bao to close the school and prevent infection. He immediately ran towards Chang'an City.
