Liu Hong smiled and shook his head, then said in a deep voice, "Doctor Zhang, you are mistaken! It is not that I am bestowing favors upon you, but that I have a request of you."

Zhang Bozu's expression changed, and he said solemnly, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and the ruler of the world. I am but an ordinary physician. If Your Majesty has any requests, please give them, and I will certainly serve Your Majesty."

It's surprising that this Uncle Zhang is a person who adheres to Confucian etiquette.

"Dr. Zhang has practiced medicine for many years. He must be familiar with the several plague outbreaks during the reign of the late emperor, right?"

Liu Hong sighed heavily, clearly remembering that during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, there had been five outbreaks of plague.

This led to widespread suffering and starvation, which in turn gave the Zhang brothers the opportunity to develop the Way of Peace, resulting in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and completely shaking the foundations of the Han Dynasty.

Although Liu Hong had sent people to search for Hua Tuo and others many times, he had never been able to find them. Now that Zhang Zhongjing and his disciples were here, he felt much more at ease.

Zhang Bozu nodded solemnly, “I have participated in the treatment of people infected with the plague, but I am powerless to help so many patients on my own.”

"Yes, the scarcity of doctors is the main reason why the plague is out of control!"

Then Liu Hong said in a deep voice, "Therefore, I am preparing to establish a medical school, with a chief physician in charge of teaching and training students. What do you think?"

Zhang Bozu was slightly taken aback: "Medical school?"

Liu Hong nodded heavily: "The stability and security of the country cannot be separated from the protection of the army and the diligence of the officials, but it also cannot be separated from the treatment of doctors."

Therefore, I have decided to vigorously promote medicine so that all people in the world may know the importance of physicians. I wonder if the two physicians, master and apprentice, would be willing to assist me?

The more doctors there are, the higher the medical standards of the Han Dynasty will be, and the plague will naturally be controlled and eradicated!

"So that people all over the world can receive good medical treatment and be spared the suffering of disease!"

"Your Majesty's great ambition is truly a sign of a sage in the world. Your subject is willing to dedicate the rest of his life to assist Your Majesty."
