"Are you Xiao Hange? What's the matter?" Emperor Ling of Han asked listlessly.

"Your Majesty, the plague has persisted for months. Zhang Ji, the magistrate of Nanyang County, is a master of medicine. After studying day and night, he has discovered a prescription to cure the plague. The plague in Nanyang has been eradicated. I have written down the prescription and included it in this memorial to Your Majesty. I request that Your Majesty give the prescription to the Imperial Physician and pass it on to doctors throughout the country to end the plague in the Han Dynasty and save the people."

"Submit the memorial."

Emperor Ling of Han instantly became alert and asked Zhang Rang beside him to present the memorial in Lin Han's hand.

After reading the memorial in Lin Han's hand, he was overjoyed and immediately sent the imperial physician Ling Jiben.

"Doctor Ji, there's good news from Zhang Ji in Nanyang. The plague has been cured. Here's the prescription. Do you think it's right?"

Emperor Ling of Han had the prescription along with the memorial handed to Yoshimoto.

"Wonderful, beyond words." Ji Ben was delighted after seeing it and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, this recipe is beyond words. It may be effective. You should give it a try."

"The medicine should be given to Doctor Ji to verify its effectiveness. If it is effective, it should be passed on to all doctors in the world to relieve the plague in our Han land."

"I obey the decree."

Yoshimoto got the prescription and hurriedly retreated.

As for the memorial, we will not discuss it further until we are sure whether the prescription is effective.

Lin Han stepped aside and watched the court meeting of the Eastern Han Dynasty quietly. To him, this was a rare thing.

"Regarding Zhang Ji's memorial, rewards will be given after the imperial physician has verified it. Do you have anything else to report?" Emperor Ling of Han asked.

"I have something to report."

Taichang Yang Ci stepped out and presented the memorial.

"Your Majesty, there is a demon named Zhang Jiao in Julu. He has used the name of plague to appoint his leaders to deceive the people. The epidemic is spreading rapidly and must be carefully monitored. You should issue a directive to the governor to return the refugees to their home counties to prevent this from becoming a serious threat."

He Jin immediately spoke up, "Your Majesty, two years ago, when Yang Taichang was Minister of Rites, he also made the same report and argued with Your Majesty in the court. Now, two years have passed, and there has been no movement from Zhang Jue. I believe Yang Taichang is simply worrying too much."

Seeing this, Zhang Rang said, "Your Majesty, I am aware of this matter. Zhang Jue claimed to be a great and virtuous teacher. During the plague, his disciples came down from the mountains to save the people. Jue was known for his kindness and education, and the counties and prefectures all believed that he was a loyal figure. He should not be blamed."

"Taoists come down from the mountains to practice medicine and educate the common people. This is a good deed, and we should not blame good people." Emperor Ling of Han said, "Yang Taichang, you have mentioned this matter many times. I have not seen the case, so please do not mention it again. Do you have anything else to report?"

Yang Ci sighed and retreated.

Oh my god.

The name Zhang Jiao appeared in the court two years ago.

Lin Han was really surprised.

It seems that the master's plot could not be concealed to some extent. Fortunately, Emperor Ling of Han was stupid enough to listen to Zhang Rang, otherwise it would not have lasted until 184 years.

"Your Majesty, I have a request," said Grand Marshal Xu Jian. "We have fought against the Bantun barbarians for years but have been unable to defeat them. Your Majesty, please make a decision."

"Is this really true? We should send troops to suppress it. Do you have any countermeasures?"

"Your Majesty, I have a plan."

Cheng Bao, the bookkeeper of Yizhou, stepped forward and made an appeal.

"The seven surnames of Bandun are brave and good at fighting. In the past, the Qiang invaded Hanchuan and the county was destroyed. The Bandun came to their rescue and almost all the Qiang soldiers were killed or wounded. The Qiang people called the Bandun divine soldiers and dared not move south.

In the second year of Jianhe, the Qiang invaded again, plundering, and relying on shields and planks, they were repeatedly defeated. Former General Feng Gun, during his southern expedition to Wuling, also relied on shields and planks to achieve his victory. Recently, when Yizhou County rebelled, Prefect Li Yong also suppressed it with shields and planks. Such loyal deeds were without ill intentions.

However, the local officials and their villages are subject to extremely heavy taxes, exceeding those imposed on slaves. Some even marry off their wives and sell their children, or even commit suicide. Although they have complained to the prefectures and counties, the governors have not addressed them. The court is too far away to hear them, and they cry out to heaven with grievances, but there is no one to turn to. Therefore, the people gather together and rebel, but they do not intend to rebel. If we select wise and capable governors, they will naturally gather together, and there will be no need to send troops to conquer them.

"There's such a connection? It's outrageous. My dear ministers, do you have anyone suitable to be the governor of Ba County?"

Cheng Bao stepped forward again and said, "Your Majesty, I think Lord Cao Qian is the most suitable."

"I am willing to share your Majesty's worries."

Cao Qian, who was named by Cheng Bao, stepped forward and bowed.

"Very well, I will appoint Cao Qian as the governor of Ba County, and he will take office immediately to put an end to the rebellion of Ban Dun. If Ban Dun shows remorse, he can be pardoned."

"I obey the decree."

When it comes to discussing national affairs, Lin Han cannot participate.

Lin Han left after the court meeting ended.

This was his first time seeing a court meeting. Apart from the moment he entered, he had no sense of presence at other times.

When leaving the Jiade Hall, the officials around him pointed at him and he tried to stay away from them, with a bit of disgust and unfamiliarity in their eyes.

Lin Han didn't care about this.

What he was concerned about was today's court agenda. Now that Zhang Jue was on the court agenda, it seemed that there was an opportunity to arrange matters concerning the Yellow Turban Army.

After all, he is now the divine envoy of the Taiping Dao, equivalent to the military commander-in-chief. At least he can increase the variables of the Yellow Turban Army. Even if the uprising fails, it will not be as tragic as in history.

"General Xiao, please stay."

A cheerful voice called him from behind.
