Chapter 755: I have a way
Chapter 755 The minister has a way
The dynasties of all dynasties gradually formed a new system after absorbing the lessons of the previous dynasties.
For example, the Wei and Jin Dynasties saw the harm of the eunuchs and relatives in the Han Dynasty, so they strictly prohibited the eunuchs and relatives from governing. When it was Song Dynasty, he saw the harm of the feudal towns in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, so he took the soldiers from all over the world and placed them in the capital to strengthen the weak branches and restrain the warriors.
When they arrived in Ming Dynasty, they learned the lesson of the weakness of the Song people, who cede land and seek peace every year. Therefore, the requirements for the emperor were obviously much higher than those in Song Dynasty.
The most important one is that the Son of Heaven needs to live and die with the country. When the Song Dynasty was in danger, it was still possible to discuss moving the capital and seeking peace. Scholars can always find a theoretical basis for the Son of Heaven to prove the correctness of doing so.
But in Daming, this article is like a rule of heaven. Whoever dares to mention it is looking for death. Countless civil servants can spit on you* and you can’t take care of yourself. Afraid of an uproar.
This kind of single-minded thinking has run through the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Hongzhi was naturally deeply affected by it.
There is no such thing as patrolling the border. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was patrolling the border, but usually when the Tatars came to invade, the capital had an epidemic and wanted to run away? Of course, it is not enough to let the prince and grandson leave the capital secretly.
If this is the case, is the prince still qualified to succeed the great rule? So the grandson is still qualified to ascend to the throne after a hundred years of himself and the prince?
Emperor Hongzhi was in a state of confusion, but he finally gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind: "Decree, the local government must try its best to contain the disaster in Beitongzhou. From the prefect to the small officials, all must be in office. Those who are on duty can deal with it immediately and sit down!"
Emperor Hongzhi immediately said: "Call all the officials to the Jinshen Hall to discuss the method of relief. This court meeting will be presided over by you, and I will warn all the officials. In the capital, some people can flee, and even soldiers can flee. Only one person can escape if he is a public minister." Those who are still sitting down will be dealt with!"
Liu Jian nodded, and did not continue to persuade at this time, the terrible plague is about to begin, and this plague, whether it is His Majesty or ordinary people, will not receive special love from the heavens before this terrible plague , the only way is to avoid even greater man-made disasters during a catastrophe.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Besides this, Announcements for the People must be posted everywhere, herbal medicines must be dispatched urgently in the treasury, and the Imperial Hospital and the Western Hospital should be ordered to send doctors to various places to visit the patients. Doctor, let them make soup and medicine in each neighborhood."
"I understand." Liu Jian took a deep look at Emperor Hongzhi.
There is almost no feasible cure for smallpox. Although there have been "human race" epidemic prevention methods in the Jiangnan area, this thing is too dangerous. People who do not have smallpox themselves have to use "human race" to He was vaccinated. Although the doctors would choose the less toxic 'human pox', not everyone could bear it. It is said that the mortality rate of human pox is not low.
Therefore, Liu Jian knew very well that this matter could only be left to fate.
But His Majesty still sent a doctor to make a decoction.
Although it looks like a dead horse is a living horse doctor.
But in fact, it is a means of calming people's hearts.
If people are infected with the plague, if there is no one to treat them, they will inevitably fall into despair, then man-made disasters will come in an instant.
However, if a person infected with the plague sees a doctor brewing a decoction in the streets and alleys, and tries his best to treat it, even if the decoction can cure the disease very little, once the person has hope, the heart will be able to settle down.
This time, the plague broke out, and among the millions of households in the entire capital, hundreds of thousands of people may die.
Especially in the military, once infected, it will be even more terrifying.
Liu Jian gritted his teeth: "I obey the order."
After Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, his face became milder. Although his heart seemed to be crushed by a mountain, he still glanced at Liu Jian: "Qing's son, Liu Jie, is in the Imperial Academy, right? Find a way to let him leave Beijing, Qing It has not been easy at home these years."
Liu Jian was taken aback, his eyes turned red.
But he took a deep breath and shook his head: "Your Majesty, he is not only a student of Xishan, but also an official of the Hanlin Academy. Like a veteran, he has his own responsibilities. His life and death are not in the hands of your Majesty and the veteran. , but in the hands of God."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded. He tried his best to calm himself down, and bowed his head under excuses: "Your Excellency, go and call all the officials."
…
Fang Jifan was summoned to the palace before his excitement passed.
In Jinshen Hall, the **** read out His Majesty's will, and Liu Jian began to preside over the court discussion.
All the officials couldn't help being in an uproar after hearing this.
Facing this terrible smallpox, it really can't be resisted by benevolence, righteousness and morality, or by the soldiers' hard work.
Suddenly, people whispered, some showed timidity, some began to worry, some frowned, almost everyone had a bitter face and worried.
Zhu Houzhao also became worried. Obviously, he also knew the severity of smallpox.
Liu Jian had no choice but to yell several times in succession to quiet the Jinshen Hall.
Liu Jian sighed: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while. Today, the epidemic is spreading and the country is in danger. At that time, countless soldiers, civilians and people will be trapped in water and fire, and death is just around the corner. You are the pillars of the country. You have received the grace of the country and enjoyed the imperial salary. Today, it is time to repay with death. Now, the most urgent thing is to calm the people. How to calm the people? You need to work hard with your majesty and the princes, and you must not breed the desire to live. Your majesty has decided, and we will decide. We will decide. Soldiers and civilians are settled. As long as the hearts of the people are stable, the harm of smallpox can be minimized, so from today on, all on-duty tasks will remain as usual, and relief matters will also need..."
He was halfway through, but at this moment, Emperor Hongzhi entered the palace wearing a celestial crown on his head and a bright red uniform. Everyone became anxious. After seeing His Majesty, Emperor Hongzhi looked as usual, with a smile on his face, and slowly ascended his seat. It was somewhat of a calming effect, and the hall really began to become silent.
Liu Jian bowed to Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi suppressed his hand: "Liu Qing's family continues to talk, I will listen."
Liu Jian nodded, and said solemnly: "Relief is the most important thing, and it is the difficult time for the community..."
He said here, someone said: "Wait a minute!"
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
It was Fang Jifan.
Liu Jian's face darkened. At this moment, who is still joking with you. He sternly said: "Who is making noise? If there is any more noise, take it down immediately and hand it over to the judge for punishment!"
Liu Jian naturally knew that the one making the noise was Fang Jifan, the prince consort of the dynasty, but Liu Jian knew very well that no noise was allowed in this court discussion. Once someone made noise, others would inevitably They will also start to criticize one after another. In the face of a catastrophe, we must establish enough prestige to suppress those who disobey. Only in this way can we unite as one.
So, when Fang Jifan yelled out slow, Liu Jian yelled sharply, which was quite a bit like killing chickens and monkeys.
This means, don’t say that you are the captain-in-law today, even if you are the prince, even if you Fang Jifan are kind to my son and dare to talk nonsense here, you will still be punished.
Liu Jian said sharply, "Where are the palace guards!"
After all, he is the chief minister of the cabinet. He usually looks like a good-natured man with a smile on his face, but now at a critical moment, he suddenly turns into an angry-eyed King Kong. Qi.
The imperial guards outside listened, how dare they disobey their orders, they all appeared outside the gate of the Jinshen Palace, although they dared not take a step beyond the threshold, they were full of murderous intent.
Liu Jian sternly said: "If there is any more noise, no matter who it is, drag it out!"
"Obey!"
"But..." Fang Jifan was in a hurry.
Although he knew very well that Liu Jian was right, if it was him who would dare to make a mistake at this time, he would definitely kill him. In front of all officials, authority is never allowed to be shaken. One, there will be a second, a third...
But Fang Jifan couldn't complain: "But, I think the most urgent thing is to find a cure for smallpox."
"..."
Is not this nonsensical?
Liu Jian looked cold, and said sharply: "Captain, that's enough, come and drag you down!"
Suddenly, everyone was in awe.
Fang Jifan said: "I have a way, you can try it."
"..."
The imperial guard was hesitating whether to follow Liu Jian's order and enter the palace to arrest someone.
Even Emperor Hongzhi had a gloomy face.
Zhu Houzhao was trembling with fright. Everyone said he was bold, but Zhu Houzhao made a fool of himself, but he still knew the seriousness. At this time, your old Fang is really a strong man.
But…
When Fang Jifan shouted that I have a solution, everyone was dumbfounded.
Everyone is suspicious, you look at me, I look at you, everyone is confused.
Liu Jian was taken aback for a moment, a little unbelievable.
However... others say there is a way, but Liu Jian probably thinks that he may be dancing to the master.
Ke Fang Jifan... this guy...
Liu Jian looked at Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi was also a little confused, he stared at Fang Jifan: "Fang Jifan, come out and speak."
Fang Jifan felt resentful, smallpox, I, Fang Jifan, knew it, I was too familiar with it, learning history and not knowing smallpox, is like a shameless and shameless person who doesn't know Wu Tenglan. Fortunately, Fang Jifan only knew smallpox, but he didn't know that Wu Tenglan existed in the world.
Fang Jifan stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty."
Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath. He looked at Fang Jifan with complicated thoughts, but no matter what he said, Fang Jifan ignited a glimmer of hope in him. Smallpox was so terrible that even he, the emperor, was in a state of confusion.
"What did the Qing family say just now?"
Fang Jifan said: "What my son said is that there is a way to prevent smallpox."
"what way?"
"Uh..." Fang Jifan was silent for a moment: "It's a bit complicated, I can't explain it clearly."
...
I'm so tired, monthly ticket, monthly ticket, the tiger's heart hurts, guest officer, give it to the two sons, the tiger is crying for food.
