Chapter 180 and the Relatives

The ministers were panicking and confused. Doctor Liu was urgently summoned to see the emperor. Doctor

Liu, led by the eunuch, hurried into the study with his medicine box on his back. After entering the room, he bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"

The emperor controlled his fear and panic, calmed down, and tried to keep his tone calm. "My dear Liu, please stand up and come to see me. I was resting in the Shouming Palace the day before yesterday."

Doctor Liu put down the medicine box, knelt in front of the emperor, and put his fingers on the dragon vein.

Fortunately, the emperor was not seriously ill. Doctor Liu knelt on the ground and carefully felt the emperor's pulse. Then he stood up and said, "The emperor's condition is not serious. He is not infected with smallpox. Just take a good rest for two days and it will be fine."

The emperor was so worried when he heard this! He didn't feel so cold anymore, and the symptoms of headache, heart pain, stomachache, and toe pain seemed to disappear. His

dignified eyes swept over Doctor Liu and more than a dozen important officials!

"I must have worked too hard these past few days. When I heard the bad news that smallpox was spreading in the palace, the hidden disease that had accumulated for many days broke out. My dear ministers, don't panic!"

Doctor Liu thought that Your Majesty had diagnosed the cause of the disease yourself, which was better than what I had made up. I don't have to rack my brains to cover it up for you.

The ministers felt relieved. No matter whether the emperor was overworked or over-frightened, as long as he was not infected with smallpox, it would be fine!

God bless you, and our ancestors are spiritual! If the emperor is safe, the court will be stable. If we are safe, the country of the Song Dynasty will be stable.

The secret envoy Chu Zhaofu said, "Your Majesty, the palace has been struck by such a natural disaster, and the people must be in a state of panic. Since Your Majesty is safe, you should go to the harem to inspect and calm the people."

The emperor's face darkened! A trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Wang Jien, who had been staying in the corner and was unknown, hurriedly shouted in a shrill voice: "No! Your Majesty is in poor health and weak, how can he go to such a dangerous place again. What if he is really infected with smallpox plague!"

Chu Zhaofu, who made the suggestion, was frightened!

He quickly knelt on the ground in fear. "Your Majesty! It is my fault for not considering it carefully. Your Majesty's health is the most important thing. Your Majesty must not return to the harem!"

The important ministers also knelt on the ground one after another, shouting that the emperor's health is the most important thing!

Qin Wang Zhao Defang smiled faintly, "Your Majesty's health is the most important thing. It is not convenient for you gentlemen to go in. Let me go to the harem and patrol on your behalf to calm people's hearts!"

The emperor immediately agreed happily, "Defang, at the critical moment, you can still stand up and share my worries.

You will go to the harem on my behalf to patrol, calm people's hearts, and command the doctors to fight the epidemic."

After receiving the order, Qin Wang took Doctor Liu out of the study and went to the harem for patrol.

There was a panic in the palace. The eunuchs and palace maids were so scared that their faces turned pale and their legs trembled when they walked. People were really in a panic!

The guards who were sent to seal the wards also had heavy faces, as if they were facing a major disaster with an unknown life or death situation. If you lose your life to protect the emperor, you will still receive honor and generous rewards. But if you lose your life because of smallpox, you may not even have a complete body. You will be burned to death as a source of infection of the evil virus.

Qin Wang Zhao Defang, who knew the inside story of the spread of smallpox, smiled secretly in his heart while summoning more than a dozen doctors and medical officers who had been to Yanzhou to fight the epidemic. They all wore masks, gloves and other epidemic prevention items, and led this group of experienced and calm people into the hard-hit Shouning Palace.

Several sick eunuchs and palace maids were locked in two rooms, and other eunuchs and palace maids were shivering in the corner.

"Doctor Fang, you guys go into the room to diagnose the illness, and Doctor Liu, you go in with me to visit Concubine Li Xian." Qin Wang gave a faint order and walked towards Concubine Li Xian's room.

The two maids guarding the door were also pale, their legs weak, and they quickly knelt down to help open the curtain.

Concubine Li Xian was seen sitting on the couch with her face ashen, and her body was shaking like sieve chaff. The two maids standing behind her were also as pale as paper and lowered their heads. When

Concubine Li Xian saw the King of Qin wearing a mask for epidemic prevention, she was even more frightened. With tears in her eyes, she trembled with her voice, "King of Qin, you must find a way to save me! There are so many eunuchs and maids infected with smallpox here that we can't live here.

I have to move somewhere else to avoid being infected with smallpox!"

The more arrogant and domineering a person is on weekdays, the more afraid of death he is.

The King of Qin looked down on her and replied after bowing, "Don't panic, Concubine Xian. I have accumulated a lot of experience in fighting the epidemic in Yanzhou.

This smallpox epidemic is said to be as fierce as a tiger, but it is not that scary. Although the smallpox epidemic is highly contagious, the mortality rate of those infected is only nearly half, and the disability rate is less than 30%.

With the presence of Doctor Liu and a dozen medical officers with experience in fighting the epidemic, the spread of this smallpox epidemic in the palace will definitely be slow. There will be no danger, and it will be cleared up soon.

According to the anti-epidemic method guidelines, people in the critically ill area cannot go out, so as not to spread the virus they carry to healthy people outside.

Empress Xianfei has always been a person who knows the overall situation. Just live in this Shouning Palace safely and wait for the epidemic to end and move elsewhere when the danger is lifted! "

Isn't it scary that the mortality rate of people infected with smallpox is nearly half? Empress Li Xianfei was even more frightened!

But the words of the King of Qin were reasonable and firm, and perhaps the emperor's intention was the same. The emperor had disliked her for quite some time, and even her power to manage the six palaces was taken away. She could not anger the emperor again, so she had to consider the overall situation and stop clamoring to move elsewhere.

Doctor Liu laughed in his heart. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin's words were obviously to comfort and appease people. Concubine Li Xian was so scared that she could not sleep at night these days.

The Prince of Qin left Shouning Palace and took Doctor Liu and several medical officers to the Yayan Pavilion of Queen Song.

Queen Song sat steadily on the carved wooden chair. Although her face was also full of sorrow and fear, she did not behave in a panic.

: "No need to bow!

My son, you and the doctors have been busy in this ward, please take precautions."

: "Thank you for your care, mother. I and the doctors have antibodies and will not be infected again."

Doctor Liu was moved!

[Empress Song is really kind! Even in a dangerous situation, she still cares about the safety of us doctors. ]

Imperial Physician Liu examined Princess Yongqing's pulse once more and said with relief: "Your Highness Prince Qin, although Princess Yongqing has a high fever and has rashes on her body and face, her condition is much milder than those in Shouning Palace.

According to the treatment methods we used when fighting the epidemic in Yanzhou, she will definitely get through this disaster safely!"

[Master uncle used generous doses for the eunuchs and palace maids in Shouning Palace. Yongqing was vaccinated by the princess. How could her condition not be much milder than those in Shouning Palace? ]

Prince Qin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly! : "Then the king is relieved. I would like to ask Imperial Physician Liu to take care of Yongqing."

…………

The smallpox plague in the palace was as fierce as a tiger, but it was brought under control by the experienced Prince Qin and the imperial physicians.

Except for the seven people who got sick, it did not spread to other people. The people in the palace, which had been in panic, gradually calmed down.

The Prince Qin and Imperial Physician Liu are worthy of being the heroes who controlled the major smallpox epidemic in Yanzhou. In just a few days, the smallpox plague was brought under control. Except for the seven patients in the palace, no one outside the palace was infected by the smallpox plague.

Except for some court officials, the people in the capital had no idea that the fierce smallpox plague had spread in the palace. The people in the capital city lived as usual, and commercial areas were prosperous.

When a plague occurred, the source of the disease had to be found. After searching for a long time, several imperial doctors could only speculate that it was the eunuch in Shouning Palace who was infected by a patient with the virus hidden in his body when he went out of the palace to buy things.

But there was no case of smallpox outside the palace. The history of the transmission of smallpox was too strange.

However, this situation was an extremely good result. It was strange, so strange!

The emperor lived in Chuigong Hall for several days and did not dare to go back to the harem.

Under the discussion of the important ministers, the news of the spread of smallpox in the palace was strictly blocked, and the capital city was calm as usual.

The Tibetan prince who came to marry the princess of Song Dynasty was already impatient and kept clamoring to go to the palace to see the emperor and marry the princess of Song Dynasty back to Tibet as soon as possible.

The princess Yongqing, the candidate for marriage, was infected with smallpox. The emperor was reluctant to send his two daughters of marriageable age to such a distant and cold place for marriage.

The strategy of marriage had been decided, but the choice of the marriage had stumped the emperor and the court officials. No court official dared to make the bold suggestion that the emperor should choose one of the two daughters of marriageable age.

In the end, it was the Vice Minister Lu Duoxuan who came up with a plan to have the best of both worlds.

"Your Majesty, you can pick out a girl of the right age from the distant royal family. Your Majesty, you can adopt her as your daughter, make her a princess, and assign the new princess to marry in Tubo.

Anyway, Tubo and the Song Dynasty are far apart, and the Tubo prince will not know the true identity of the princess. As long as she is married back to Tubo, the matter can be covered up."

The worried emperor suddenly became very happy!

He said with a smile: "Lord Lu, this is a great idea! You should discuss it quickly, which family in the royal family has a suitable daughter?"

This is a great idea!

The ministers immediately discussed excitedly, which family in the royal family with the right age is the right candidate?

Finally, a daughter of Zhao Rencheng, a distant clan member, who was of marriageable age, was unlucky and was discovered by collective efforts. She became the candidate for marriage with the Tubo prince.

The emperor immediately issued an order to recognize this girl as his own daughter, named her Princess Wenyue, and sent her to Tubo for marriage.

The emperor was secretly making a small calculation in his heart.

In the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng went to Tubo and married Songzan Gampo, and the two countries had a good relationship. Today, I will confer the title of Princess Wenyue and send her to marry the Tubo prince, and also leave a good relationship between the two countries for future generations.

This matter was perfectly resolved, and the smallpox plague spreading in the palace was also under control. The emperor was relieved!

He glanced at the King of Qin who was standing there without saying a word, and said with a smile: "My nephew, the candidate for the marriage has been decided, and the spread of the plague in the palace has been controlled.

The corruption case involving the Shandong Road River Construction Project is really abominable and hateful!

My nephew, you should set off as soon as possible! Go and investigate that major corruption case thoroughly, and do not tolerate the corrupt officials involved!"

King of Qin Zhao Defang showed no displeasure, walked out of the train, and received the order to go to the battle! ...

The emperor looked at the back of the King of Qin as he walked out of the hall, and smiled proudly in his heart!

[The King of Qin's knife is really useful!

I want to use him more often, to help me get rid of the pests in the Song Dynasty, to scare the greedy officials, and to wear out the sharp knife of him more and more, so that he can be used up as soon as possible! 】
