Chapter 147 Hebei Plague
The next day, at the Tai Chi Hall Grand Court meeting, all officials collectively passed a decree prohibiting marriage between close relatives and supported the promulgation and implementation immediately.
Just as the court meeting was about to end its retreat, an official from the Ministry of Rites stood up to advise the emperor and asked Du Shaoqing to serve in the Ministry of Rites, saying that Du Shaoqing was talented and had great contributions. Moreover, Du Shaoqing was in the Tai Chi Hall at this time. Because he raised the genetic issue, he was qualified to go to the hall to participate in the matter.
It was a good thing that a yamen took the initiative to ask for people, but Du Shaoqing knew that he could not be an official of the Ministry of Rites, so he quickly refused.
At this time, the old fox Changsun Wuji stood up and recommended Du Shaoqing. When all officials saw this, they all said that Changsun Wuji was virtuous.
At this time, Du Shaoqing felt something was wrong. Could it be that this guy from the Ministry of Rites was arranged by the old fox Changsun Wuji?
He was about to refuse, but His Majesty also agreed. Du Shaoqing hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, Caomin has already considered it and is willing to serve in the Imperial Hospital."
Oh? The answer puzzled all the officials, but Li Er understood it. This was his agreement with this kid yesterday, but he didn't expect that he was so unwise. What future does the Imperial Hospital have? Even the first Imperial Hospital is just a fourth-rank official.
"You have to think about it." Li Er asked.
"I thought about it. I am a doctor. I am confident to do my duty to save lives and heal the wounded. I know nothing about other tasks."
"Okay, Du Shaoqing is allowed to serve in the Imperial Hospital. Because he was a queen who was a meritorious in treating the disease, he was appointed as a fifth-rank deacon in the Imperial Hospital."
All officials felt it was a pity that a great talent did not choose to govern the country, but became a small doctor. It was really a talent.
But there are also a few people who understand it. Du Shaoqing is taking refuge. He doesn't want to be deeply trapped in the whirlpool of the battle between the court and choose an Imperial Hospital without anyone's care and no one cares about it. It is considered a free job.
"If you have no objection, just retreat to the court and quickly go and apply for the newly revised laws today." Li Er said he wanted to retreat to the court.
But at this moment, a long horn came from outside the palace gate: "Eight hundred miles to speed up, and Eight hundred miles to speed up, Hebei Road to speed up!"
"Eight hundred miles in expedition? Quickly, open the palace gate directly and let the commander enter the palace." Li Er exclaimed, guessing in his heart, what happened? Eight hundred miles in Hebei Road is expedition? Is there another war? Is it impossible, the Goguryeo kid in the east dares to offend my power?
At the entrance of Tai Chi Hall, a fast horse neighed, and then before the messenger dismounted, the horse fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth.
If the deputy general at the gatekeeper at the gate of the palace had not rescued in time and grabbed the messenger, the man would have been pressed under his body by a war horse. However, the deputy general looked down at the person in his hand, his lips were chapped and his face was pale, and his condition was obviously very poor.
So I called two palace guards and quickly carried the people into the hall. At this time, even if I was about to die, I had to finish the information.
Emperor Li Er had already run down from the dragon throne. The man was placed in the center of the hall and wanted to raise his arm to point northeast, but he was unable to raise his arm. He said two words with difficulty - plague, epidemic!
After saying that, my head tilted and foamed at the mouth.
Everyone exclaimed and hurriedly retreated around, only the deputy general of the palace gate shouted loudly to wake up with his brothers.
Du Shaoqing took out the silver needle he carried with him, leaned down, untied the other party's clothes, and quickly protected the other party's heart veins with the silver needle, "Hurry, send it to the Imperial Hospital, and there is still help."
"No, this person has a plague on his body. It's too dangerous to not let him walk through the palace like this." A young minister stood up and dissuaded.
Du Shaoqing raised his head and shouted angrily: "No plague can be transmitted at a glance. I am afraid of death and go there. If the soldiers have lost their lives, they will not save them? I will take any responsibility for anything."
You... that person was going to talk about it again, but Du Shaoqing and the deputy general had already lifted the patient and rushed out of the palace gate.
Emperor Li Er sternly scolded the young official, "Enough, you have been dismissed from office. The Tang Dynasty court does not need a timid and inhumane person. Come and blast it out."
No matter how the man cried, no one stood up to plead for him. He was quickly dragged out and threw it outside the palace.
None of the officials sympathized with him, and he didn't know how he became an official. He didn't know that His Majesty was born in the army and attached the most importance to his chariot and friendship. How could he not save him when he saw a soldier dying?
Besides, Du Shaoqing is a genius doctor in the Tang Dynasty. If even he cannot cure this plague disease, I am afraid that the plague will spread all over the country sooner or later.
"The Hebei plague, I don't know what the epidemic is like now. When Du Shaoqing rescues the messenger, he quickly asks about the situation.
But no matter what the situation is, we should be prepared. Let’s discuss disaster relief now. Who will go?" Li Er asked as he looked down at the civil and military officials in the court.
"Your Majesty, the plague did not occur in one day, it must be a cause. Why did it be transmitted to Chang'an until the plague broke out? I think the general manager of Hebei Road was dereliction of duty." Wei Zheng stood up and impeached him.
...
Not to mention how the people in the Tai Chi Palace arranged emergency relief, and Du Shaoqing, who carried the person to the Imperial Hospital, was very acquaintances, and the Imperial Hospital doctors admired Du Shaoqing's medical skills, so someone quickly arranged everything as he said.
After giving the patient a ginseng Yixing Bao Life Decoction, he massaged for a while. Seeing the patient's breath gradually getting stronger, Du Shaoqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he look up at the young goalkeeper next to him, a handsome and heroic general.
"The general's courage is admired by others, I don't know what he calls him?" Du Shaoqing took the initiative to politely.
The other party was modest and replied with a courtesy, "The young general Xuanjia Army Li Junxian has long admired the reputation of the divine doctor Du. The military rations and medicines brought out by the divine doctor to help my Tang soldiers. We all admire it."
Li Junxian and Du Shaoqing were slightly surprised and thought to himself that if this person is really the Li Junxian in the film and television drama, can he be considered his rival?
But it was just a joke. Du Shaoqing still admired the general. After they met, they started chatting. Li Junxian was not very talkative. He was talking about the military affairs, but Du Shaoqing asked more questions.
Not long after, the messenger on the hospital bed woke up and grabbed Du Shaoqing's clothes sitting beside the bed, shouting in a hoarse voice: "Hurry, a plague suddenly broke out in the north of Hebei Road. The cause is unknown and is spreading south. It was about to arrive in Youzhou ten days ago. The general manager has led his troops to the front line to strictly prevent the plague. The situation is unknown now. Go and ask Your Majesty for help."
When the two heard this, they dared not be negligent. They explained and went straight to Taiji Hall. When they talked about the situation, the ministers thought it was okay, but it was half of Hebei. No matter how fierce the plague was, they would never be able to defend the defense line, firmly clear the walls and clear the fields.
"I ordered King Li Ke of Wu and General Yuchi Gong to be the chief and deputy envoy of disaster relief, Du Shaoqing of the Imperial Hospital to be the chief medical officer of disaster relief, and three led 5,000 cavalrymen to Hebei Road to rescue disasters. The court will subsequently support disaster relief food and medicines in batches. Wei Zheng followed the army to station in Youzhou City to provide adjustments to the general disaster relief logistics."
Obviously, in just a short time, Tai Chi Palace has discussed a candidate for disaster relief.
Du Shaoqing was not surprised that he had to go by himself. Even if he didn't, he would go. "Your Majesty, I asked for one person, and I also asked the court to quickly buy a unique plague and disaster relief medicinal material."
"You tell Xuan Cheng about medicinal materials. As long as it is necessary for disaster relief, I have everything in the Tang Dynasty. I don't know who you want?" Li Er asked.
