597 The Emperor Still Abandons the Throne
When I arrived at the master's house, it turned out to be true.
Sun Sicheng sighed: "I didn't dare to go to the clinic these past two days. The shopkeeper has already recorded sixteen people. These are all locals in the capital. Some of them are seriously ill and their families have given up.
But people from the provincial capital near the capital will probably come soon. Ping An, the master was soft-hearted for a moment and helped Bai Jiaming with his treatment for the sake of Mr. Bai. Now he is in a dilemma.
If we treat them, there are too many patients and it's hard to prevent them. We can't let ourselves and Ruyi get infected because of them. If we don't treat them, these people will be begging for help every day in the clinic and scare everyone away. "
Ping An said, "What's so difficult about this? When we treated Bai Jiaming, we soaked penicillin in silver needles and injected it into his body, and then used it externally, a two-pronged approach.
There are more people now, and as you said, it is hard to guard against them. We cannot ignore ourselves for the sake of others. A gentleman must take care of his own interests first, not to mention that we are lords.
But we can't just not treat it, so we'll give each of them a note and let them sign a medication agreement. We'll give them some medicine and let them do a skin test on themselves. If it works, we'll continue to use the medicine. When the effect is good, we'll check them again, and then we'll use acupuncture. What do you think?"
Sun Sicheng nodded: "Ping An, your master and I have also thought about this, but your master thinks that the effect will be greatly reduced and it may delay their treatment."
Ping An sighed: "Master, so I am not a pure doctor. A pure good doctor may be like my master, who always considers the patients, while I consider myself more and then the patients.
Of course, I am not a real doctor now, I am an official of the Hanlin Academy. Master, the master told me that in the future, the higher-ups may ask me to give lectures to the crown prince, so I can be considered the crown prince's teacher, right?"
"Oh? That's true? But it's not surprising. You're the top scholar, so it's normal for you to teach the crown prince.
Ping'an, you almost led me astray, or let's talk about penicillin, how about we treat it this way first?
You and I are the same kind of people, and I don't think there's anything wrong with this. We've prepared a lot of precautions, and a thick stack of agreements. The penicillin No. 1 that Xiaoshan and his team made years ago is enough for these people, but in case people from other states come, we should make as much as possible."
"Master, I remembered a recipe for penicillin ointment. It should be quite effective and much better than liquid form. The ointment can be applied directly to the body. It can also be used for other skin diseases.
Of course the effect is definitely not as good as injecting it directly into the body, can't a syringe be made?"
Sun Sicheng's eyes lit up, the Taoist's prescriptions were all good ones.
"Ping An, write down the prescription now, and we'll go to the village to ask Master Qin and his men to prepare it.
As for the syringe, several types have been produced, but none of them are satisfactory, so it may take some time.
I've made up my mind not to give Penicillin No. 2 to Bai Jiaming for the time being. If the conditions are not ready and other people know about it, what should we do?
Ping'an, you write the prescription. I will ask Ruyi and He Jin to take the precautions and the agreement to the clinic to find the manager. Make my intentions clear to the patients' families. Those who are willing can do as we say.
Awu is going to give birth in about ten days, and you and I can't stay with these patients, Ping An, you can let Tong Miao, Leng Yue and the others live in your home, maybe they will give birth a few days earlier."
Of course Ping An knows this. Everything will be normal one week before and after the due date.
"Master, don't worry. I'm at home. My father and uncle are also at home day and night. I've let Tongmiao, Lengyue, and Lengshui take turns staying at my house since the day before yesterday. Banxia and the others also know some medicine."
Ping An really felt that he had grown up at this time, and it was right for Gan Die Wang not to give him a New Year's red envelope.
"Master, time flies. I'm actually going to be a father. When I first saw you, you were only this tall." Ping An compared and raised the corners of his lips.
Twelve years passed by unnoticed, and in a few months he would be twenty-one years old.
Sun Sicheng looked at his only apprentice with a smile. Isn't life fast? In the blink of an eye, the child around his waist was half a head taller than him.
"When you grow up, your master will be old, and your great-grandfather and great-grandfather will be even older." Sun Sicheng sighed. His grandfather and parents looked much older than they did a few years ago. No matter how much he paid attention to health preservation, it would not work. "If it weren't for your son, your great-grandfather and your great-grandfather would have moved to the manor long ago. They would not want to live in the city."
"Master, there's nothing wrong with this. I will make the manor better little by little. We can also stay in the manor more if we have time. It's not far from the city, so it's convenient for everything."
…
Three days later, Sun Sicheng had just sorted out the matter of treating syphilis patients. The families of these patients were very willing and signed the agreement with the clinic without hesitation, and were just waiting to get the medicine from the clinic in a few days.
Just then, shocking news came out.
The emperor actually abdicated.
Just today at the morning court, he suddenly proposed to abdicate, which made all the ministers furious. The emperor is only in his fifties and can definitely serve for another ten years.
I didn't expect that what I said before was actually true.
The Crown Prince has been in a daze these days. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, when he learned that the Crown Princess had passed away, he fell seriously ill. On the twelfth day, the day of the Crown Princess's burial, he barely crawled out of bed. Today, he was summoned by his father to attend the morning court.
He really didn't want to take over so early.
Or maybe he didn't want to be the emperor at all. If his father stayed busy for a few more years, the throne could be passed directly to his son in the future.
He had no objection at all.
If it weren't for the throne, his Crown Princess would still be alive and well, but now she is lying in the cold soil.
The emperor left Baohedian quickly after saying that the throne would be officially handed over on February 2nd.
The prince is over 30 years old, it is time for him to succeed to the throne. It is enough to be sad about the death of the crown princess, but he can't stand it anymore as she is always in this state of half-life.
The queen can eat and speak, but her health is not as good as before, and her spirit is even worse. She gets frightened by the slightest movement and has trouble sleeping. The director of the hospital has been helping her to adjust her body, but the effect is not very good.
For the rest of his life, he wanted to live comfortably for himself and spend more time with the queen.
There are too many unexpected things in life. He didn't like the Crown Princess very much before, but he also hoped that she and the Crown Prince would grow old together. After all, she was his original wife, and they had a grandson and a daughter. But now they are separated from each other forever and are sleeping in the ground.
When the ministers saw that the emperor had left and the prince was still in a daze, they all woke up.
At this point, the crown prince's ascension to the throne was a foregone conclusion, and everyone was busy congratulating him.
The prince swayed a bit, and the Duke of Jingguo supported him: "Your Highness, are you okay?"
The prince did not reply. Still in shock, he left the hall step by step.
After leaving the hall and standing in the huge square, he was stunned for a while, completely unaware of the ministers not far behind him.
After being stunned for a while, the prince steadied his steps and walked quickly towards his mother's bedroom. He wanted to ask his father how could he have the heart to hand over the throne to a poor man like him who had just lost his wife?
