Chapter 2101 Revealed
The emperor asked Yang Heshu for his opinion.
Yang Heshu immediately requested to stay in Xiazhou. He said that he did not bring his family with him when he returned to Kyoto this time because he was worried about the things in Xiazhou.
The emperor sighed and let Yang Heshu leave the palace. Then in the evening, he issued an edict to reprimand Yang Heshu for his rebellion and house arrest, and fined him three months' salary.
But the Ministry of Personnel was preparing the documents for his promotion to the Governor of Xiazhou.
This matter was no secret. Even the Crown Princess's eunuchs mentioned it jokingly, "This is a veiled criticism but a real compliment. People outside are saying that Yang is about to rise again."
The Crown Princess smiled and waved her hand to let the eunuchs withdraw. She said to Manbao and the other two, "It's not that simple. I heard the Crown Prince mention that the situation in Xiazhou is not good right now."
Chang Yu looked worried, "Then why is Lord Yang still going?"
Manbao said, "That's why we have to go because it's not good."
She said, "No one knew Xiazhou better than him before. Now that Xiazhou is like this, he can't just leave."
Manbao still had great confidence in Yang Heshu and said with a smile, "Don't worry. Since Brother Yang can get through this hurdle in the court safely, Xiazhou will be no problem for him."
Manbao glanced at the sun outside, stood up and said goodbye, "My queen, it's getting late, I have to leave the palace and go home."
The Crown Princess also glanced at the position of the sun and nodded, "Go ahead. You just came back, and you should reunite with your family."
Mingda immediately stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go see her off."
Chang Yu also stood up immediately and said, "I'll go too."
So the two of them, holding Manbao, slowly walked towards the gate of the East Palace. Mingda asked her, "Last month, you submitted a memorial saying that there was a method of preventing and treating smallpox in the Western Regions called vaccination?"
"Yes," Manbao said, "I want to go look for it."
Mingda was filled with envy. "I happened to hear my father and mother talking about it. They said that if we could find this method, it would be a great merit."
This means that the emperor is inclined to agree to let Zhou Man go to the Western Regions.
Manbao perked up, "Your Majesty really said that?"
Mingda nodded. "After receiving the memorial, Father sent a letter to the Anxi Protectorate to inquire whether they had such a solution. However, Anxi is too far from the capital. Even if the journey is smooth, it would take two or three months for the letter to arrive back, not to mention that the Anxi Protectorate might have to conduct an investigation."
This is not an urgent matter, so the messenger must have walked slowly. It took more than a month to go there and more than a month to come back, which means two or three months.
Manbao, who was worried, felt a little relieved and thought that she didn't need to take so many days off. Why not go and talk to Doctor Liu and Doctor Xiao tomorrow to discuss the acne?
Well, Doctor Liu will be on duty tomorrow, so let’s go find Doctor Xiao.
"By the way, I went to the Imperial Hospital today and heard people saying that Doctor Xiao had made great contributions in combating the epidemic and was going to be reinstated?"
Mingda smiled and said, "If you ask about other official positions, I may not know, but I do know this one. Imperial Physician Xiao will indeed be reinstated."
She said, "The capital was also very dangerous a few years ago. Someone secretly hid in the capital to seek medical treatment. It was Doctor Xiao who helped County Magistrates Tang and Guo to find the person."
In fact, it is not as simple as finding it out. The situation in the capital at that time was not much better than that in Xiazhou. No one knows how many smallpox patients have hidden in the capital and how many people they have come into contact with.
Since there were so many people in the capital, it was Doctor Xiao who went against the majority's advice and locked up and isolated all those who might have come into contact with smallpox patients and their belongings, waiting and treating them one by one...
In addition, the medicinal materials and cloths needed in Xiazhou and other places at that time also required his assistance to the Ministry of Revenue. After looking around, the emperor found that although Doctor Liu was a good doctor, Doctor Xiao was better at managing these matters.
Moreover, Doctor Xiao's medical skills were very good, so the emperor promoted him again.
Mingda said: "It hasn't been issued yet, but it's almost done."
Chang Yu said, "I was saying earlier that you had performed a great service this time. When you return from Xiazhou, you might be able to snatch the position of Dean. Who knew you would actually intend to go to the Western Regions? Alas, it's far and desolate over there, and I heard there are many horse thieves there."
Man Bao said, "Even if I didn't go to the Western Regions, I wouldn't be able to become the head of the hospital. Not to mention that there's Imperial Physician Liu, there's also Imperial Physician Lu above me. His seniority is no less than mine."
Mingda asked her curiously, "Do you want to be the dean?"
Manbao said: "Not yet."
It’s not that I don’t want to do it now, but that I don’t want to do it.
Mingda understood immediately. She smiled slightly and nodded, "I understand."
She and Chang Yu escorted him to the palace gate, and the three of them stood there talking. "It's obviously not possible for you to go to the Western Regions alone. Have you thought about who in the court you can ask to go with you?"
Manbao said: "And my two junior brothers."
She chuckled and said, "Your husband will also come with us. We will write to you often."
Mingda blushed slightly and said, "You know I'm not talking about him. You're all young, and it's obviously not feasible to entrust such a big task to the three of you. Father should let you choose one person from the Honglu Temple to accompany you."
This is to ask them to go to the Honglu Temple in advance to look for someone.
Manbao thought about it, then lowered his voice and said, "Tell me, can I ask my teacher to go to the Honglu Temple, and then let my teacher take us there?"
In this way, those who go are all our own people. We agreed to go study abroad and also look for meteorites. It would be better if only our own people were there, right?
Mingda also fell into deep thought and replied in a low voice, "It's not impossible, but you have to ask the Crown Prince for help on this matter. Father won't indulge you."
But it was not difficult for the prince to transfer the lecturers from Chongwenguan to Honglu Temple.
Manbao started to think, "Is the prince in a good mood recently?"
Chang Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "When you ask this question, you sound just like the treacherous villains described in the storybooks."
Manbao: ...
Mingda also laughed out loud and said to her, "It's not good or bad. It's spring now and he's busy. I haven't seen him for almost half a month."
"Okay, I'll go back and think of a solution."
Manbao has never had the experience of asking someone to do something for him, especially asking the boss of his immediate boss to do something for him, so he plans to go back and ask someone with more life experience for advice.
Or should I ask Brother Yang and Brother Tang for advice tomorrow?
Anyway, they are going to see Brother Yang tomorrow.
The Yang family's house was bustling with activity. Apparently, it was no secret in the capital that the emperor liked and valued Yang Heshu.
Manbao and his companions were ushered in as soon as their car reached the side gate. The servant parked their car in a corner of the courtyard and said with a smile, "Miss Man, Young Master Bai, Second Young Master Bai, and Master Tang are already here. They are talking to our master in the study at the back."
A maid came to lead them there. When they passed the side door of the main courtyard, they heard the lively sounds coming from inside. Manbao asked with a smile, "Why are there so many guests at home?"
The girl smiled and said, "Master is back safely, and all his relatives and friends are visiting."
However, there were only a few people that Yang Heshu could meet in person, and most of the people who came were female relatives, and they all crowded in the main courtyard with the marquis' wife.
See you at 9pm
