0043 Epidemic

(Some book friends have already discovered that, yes, the title of the book has been changed. The last name was really bad, so I changed it to this one, hoping to trick a few more innocent book friends into coming in. (*^▽^*))

Sun Fucai came all the way to Ganlu Hall, where he saw Li Shimin, who was discussing state affairs with Fang Xuanling and others. He bent down and told Changsun Wujia's words without squinting.

After listening, Li Shimin said thoughtfully: "Can anyone enter the palace today?"

Sun Fucai said cautiously: "The young master came to the palace to visit the empress and left just now."

Li Shimin felt relieved and said, "Okay, go back and tell your empress that I understand."

"Here." Sun Fucai didn't dare to stay and walked backwards out of the hall.

All the ministers in the palace remained calm on the surface, but in their hearts they had their own little plans.

Being able to freely enter and leave the palace does not seem to be a formal right on the surface, but it is more useful than any authority.

In the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty, no more than the number of hands could enter and exit the palace without being summoned. Except for the emperor's children, no one was eligible to enter the harem unless summoned.

This young real man can come in and out of the palace to see the empress at will. It seems that his status in the eyes of the empress is higher than everyone imagined.

It is necessary to add a note.

Li Shimin seemed as if nothing had happened and continued the topic: "Fang Qing, please continue talking about the epidemic."

Fang Xuanling continued what was interrupted and said: "This epidemic is coming with ferocious force. Yun, Shuo, Dai, Lan and other six prefectures have all become epidemic areas, and the epidemic is spreading into the pass. If it is not controlled,

It may lead to the loss of lives."

Li Shimin's expression became solemn and he said, "Do you know what kind of epidemic it is?"

Fang Xuanling replied: "According to the diagnosis of typhoid fever by a local doctor, it should be caused by the continuous rain in Hedong and Guanhai."

Li Shimin's tense nerves relaxed a little. It's not that typhoid fever is not serious, but that everyone is used to the disease breaking out several times every year. More importantly, there is a cure for typhoid fever.

The most terrifying thing is smallpox, which is truly a human tragedy.

"We should prevent the epidemic as early as possible to prevent it from spreading. Do you have any good prescriptions?"

Wei Zheng stood up and said: "We should transport medicinal materials from nearby states to the epidemic areas to treat the victims, and then order the charity warehouse to release grain to help the victims."

Wen Yanbo objected: "No, the rain in Guan Nei and Hedong did not cause floods, and the people were not short of food. If the imperial court ordered the opening of warehouses to release food, it would give local officials an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Yang Shidao, the waiter, also said: "The rice seedlings are now about a foot long, so we are not afraid of the rainy weather. On the contrary, because we have received sufficient rainwater for irrigation, this autumn will definitely be a good harvest year."

His intention was obvious: he was against opening warehouses to release grain. Everyone present, including Li Shimin, was actually opposed to opening warehouses. The current epidemic area was not short of food.

"Okay, just as Wei Qing said, we will transport medicines from various states into the epidemic areas. Let all charity warehouses in the epidemic areas be prepared and wait for the imperial court's order to open warehouses and release grain to prevent any unexpected events."

"Here."

Everyone understood that this was a refusal to open the warehouse to put grain, and the second part of the sentence was purely to take care of Wei Zheng's face.

At this time, Yu Wenshiji said: "Your Majesty, Sun Zhenzhen is a miracle doctor. If he is willing to take action, he can control the plague faster."

Li Shimin was also moved, but what he thought of was not Sun Simiao but Chen Jingke. Would this young master know some methods of treating epidemics?

He did not express this idea, but followed Yuwen Shiji's words and said: "If Yu Wenqing didn't tell me, I almost forgot about Master Sun. Tomorrow I will go to Zixiao Temple to ask for advice."

Afterwards, everyone discussed the issue of extracting medicinal materials in detail, quickly came up with a specific plan, and discussed some other government affairs before they dispersed.

After everyone left, Li Shimin got up and went to the Li Zheng Palace. He was very curious about what the little real person said, so he asked the queen to come to invite him specially.

All the way to the Li Zheng Hall, I saw a few pages of paper written by Chen Jingke at Changsun Wujia. I was so excited that I almost broke the table.

"Okay, okay, with this method in Lingnan and even Jiaozhi, I will truly belong to the Tang Dynasty. Jing Ke is really a lucky star. Guanyin, you, my nephew, recognize it well and wonderfully."

Changsun Wugou was also very happy, but he still said: "Erlang, don't be anxious. You won't know until you try this method whether it is feasible or not."

Li Shimin said: "I understand. I will first send people to verify it quietly in the area controlled by the imperial court. Once it is confirmed that this method is effective... Hehe... I want Feng Ang to dance for me in Daxing Hall."

I'm afraid future generations will not understand that the Feng family is obviously a positive figure in history books and has maintained the unity of the country. Why does Li Shimin hate them so much?

From a historical perspective, Feng did objectively safeguard the overall situation of the unification of China and deserves the respect of future generations.

But for the Tang Dynasty court, they didn't like this kind of separatist power, especially Feng's performance was not as surrendering as it seemed.

The first leader of the Lingnan slang people was the Xian family of Gaoliang. They were the chiefs of Lingnan from the pre-Qin period until the Sui Dynasty.

The last chief of the Xian family was the well-known Madam Xian. She was a true heroine among women, a heroine who dedicated herself to the country.

She married Feng Bao and gave birth to Feng Pu, who gave birth to two brothers, Feng Xuan and Feng Ang.

After Mrs. Xian passed away, Feng Xuan and Feng Ang replaced the Xian family with Taozhang and became the largest local power in Lingnan. The Xian family in Gaoliang declined and never appeared in the history books again.

The two Feng brothers were indeed outstanding in talent, but they did not have Mrs. Xian's righteousness at all. On the contrary, they had been plotting to separate Lingnan.

At that time, Feng Xuan and other chiefs of the Lingnan Li Liao people colluded to rebel. Feng An appeared to surrender to the Tang state, but in fact he sat back and watched the rebellion.

Not even a blind person can understand what the two brothers have planned.

Fortunately, Lingnan gave birth to Ning Chun. He was born in the Ning family, a wealthy family of Lingnan slang people, but he knew that his righteousness was towards the court. When Feng Xuan and others rebelled, he did not hesitate to break up with the family and lead troops to quell the rebellion.

With his own strength, he defeated the rebel forces such as Feng Xuan, Tan Dian, and Ning Daoming, and preserved the Tang Dynasty's basic position in Lingnan.

At this time, Feng Ang couldn't sit still anymore and raised troops to threaten Ning Chun's flanks. Ning Chun had no choice but to retreat.

Later, when Feng Xuan died, Feng An stopped pretending and started a rebellion himself, but was stopped by Ning Chun.

It can be said that without Ning Chun, the Feng family would have successfully rebelled and become the de facto King of Lingnan.

When the Tang Dynasty defeated the Eastern Turks and became the real overlord in the fourth year of Zhenguan, they were ready to turn around and deal with the Feng family in Lingnan. When Feng Ang saw something was wrong, he knelt down and called his father.

Li Shimin didn't believe him at all, but because of the three major problems in Lingnan and the difficulty of governing Lingnan, he had to pinch his nose and accept his surrender, acquiescing to Feng's separatist rule of Lingnan.

Feng also knew that the Central Dynasty had ushered in a new peak, and he did not have the strength to rebel, so he honestly became the King of Lingnan.

But for a hero like Li Shimin, this is a kind of humiliation.

Before, he couldn't find a solution to the three major problems, and he didn't want to risk his life, so he had no choice but to accept the reality. Now that he had a seemingly reliable method, he naturally thought of cleaning up the Feng family immediately to wash away the humiliation.
