"No...what the hell is going on?"
Zheng Yueru was a little confused.
Others laughed.
Seeing that Zheng Yueru finally couldn't help but hit herself with her fist, Jiang Xuan laughed and said: "Sister Yueru, don't worry, the young master has already mastered the method of dealing with malaria!"
"What?"
Zheng Yueru was shocked again.
Dealing with malaria?
Malaria has been mankind's number one enemy for thousands of years. Since ancient times, many capable and famous doctors have been unable to cure malaria. Although it can reduce some mortality rates, no one dares to boast that it can truly combat malaria.
Liu Zheng smiled and said nothing, falling into deep thought.
Jiang Xuan then told Zheng Yueru everything about the malaria encounter by the Yinzhou Army on the road.
"You think this is it? Wormwood?"
Zheng Yueru felt that all this was like a dream. But she also knows that this is absolutely true, Liu Zheng will not joke with his own life...
And looking at the 90,000 Yinzhou Army at this time, when they heard the word "malaria", there was no fear on their faces. This can prove that they have indeed experienced the despair and ravage caused by malaria!
at this time.
They were extremely ambitious in the face of malaria.
Zheng Yueru couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Brother Liu, who is he? So powerful?
Sudden.
Her delicate body trembled on the horse because she woke up at this time. If Liu Zheng really masters the magic weapon to deal with malaria...then...
She had realized it at this time.
Chen Ping's stranger is really coming...
"Set off!"
The 90,000 Yinzhou troops sped up.
When they met some rivers on the way, they started cutting down Artemisia annua again. After all, there are 400,000 people in Dunhuang... I heard that the plague in Changzhou is still very important. The combined population of these two cities is almost one million. Liu Zheng doesn't know how much Artemisia will be consumed.
He immediately ordered Zheng Yueru and Fei Ge to send a message to the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce in the nearest city to start collecting Artemisia annua, various herbs, and daily necessities, and send them to Dunhuang as quickly as possible.
This time.
Liu Zheng also understood that this was his best chance to truly make a name for himself. It's even... the best opportunity to bargain with the old emperor. There are so many benefits that he can get from this matter...
However.
He didn't slow down because of it. He didn't want to bargain because of it.
He never thought of viciously squeezing the interests of all parties.
Because he knows that 400,000 people are in dire straits now. The sooner he arrives, the more people will survive successfully.
Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.
Liu Zheng has always believed that good and evil will be rewarded, which is the basic principle of this world.
He has lost the lives of many brothers in the war he started. Every time he thought about this, he often couldn't sleep at night. However, these wars are inevitable, and wars have always been ended with war.
so……
He can only try his best to do good deeds and make up for the karma he has created.
…
The world is in panic.
Liangzhou Prefecture.
At this time, he was surrounded by a group of people again. Most people are still the same literati as last time. But this time their request was no longer for the imperial examination, but to support Dunhuang!
"Master Chen, the Dunhuang plague, are we going to die without saving it?"
"Can Liangzhou Prefecture still control Dunhuang?"
"And Changzhou!"
"If you don't go, let us go! If you don't let us go to Dunhuang, what do you want to do!"
The crowd was so excited that a group of people almost broke out into a conflict with the soldiers of Liangzhou Prefecture.
Inaction!
For so many days, Chen Ping locked himself in Liangzhou Mansion every day, not caring about anything and not asking anything. What is this if not inaction?
His prestige, which had been in power for many years in Liangzhou, has declined sharply in these days.
They just sent some doctors there in a symbolic manner, but did not provide too much support in terms of materials and medicines. Is Dunhuang still a territory of Liangzhou?
The whole country is supporting!
Other feudal lords are supporting us!
King Lu, King Yong, and even King Shu, who were relatively close to Changzhou and Dunhuang, all sent a lot of medicine support. As a result, your Liangzhou Prefecture became interested!
"Get out of here!"
"Let Liu Zhizhou take charge of Liangzhou!"
"What are you for?"
Some people say that freedom of speech in ancient times was not that broad, but this is not true. The ancient literati were a group of people with real style.
It is often heard that literati committed suicide, died to remonstrate, or jumped into the river because of the stupidity of those in power...
Therefore, these rulers actually have a headache for these literati.
Why?
Kill, yes.
But you will definitely leave a bad name, and the kind that will last forever.
This is just like the ancient imperial power which was supreme.
But it’s not that no one dares to mess with the emperor...
For example, historian.
Historiographers are officials in all dynasties who specialize in recording and compiling history. Their records of objective facts are true and they are not even afraid of beheading.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was such a story.
Duke Zhuang of Qi committed adultery with Dongguo Jiang, the wife of Doctor Cui Zhu of Qi. Not only did Duke Zhuang of Qi commit adultery with Cui Zhu's wife, but he also gave Cui Zhu's hat to someone else. This made Duke Cui Zhu of Qi very dissatisfied.
Cui Zhu bribed Duke Qi Zhuang's bodyguard Jia Ju. When Duke Qi Zhuang once again went to have a private meeting with his parents and Dong Guo Jiang, one of them came and committed adultery on the spot. The chamberlain Jia Ju stopped Duke Qi Zhuang's bodyguard outside and Duke Zhuang of Qi failed to beg for mercy and was shot in the thigh by an arrow when he was escaping. Cui Zhu successfully killed Duke Zhuang of Qi.
The historian at that time, Tai Shibo, recorded truthfully: "Cui Zhu killed Duke Guang of Qizhuang in his mansion."
Cui Zhu was furious when he saw it, and said to the historian Tai Shibo: "Can't you record that Duke Zhuang of Qi died of a sudden illness?"
Tai Shibo replied: "According to the official records, it is the duty of the historian. If I do something derelict in order to save my own life, I would rather die!" Cui Zhu was furious, so you should die, so Cui Zhu killed Tai Shibo.
The historians at that time were all hereditary, so Cui Zhu called Tai Shi Zhong, Tai Shi Bo's younger brother. Cui Zhu said to him: "You have to think about the fact that you have high officials and children. As long as you record that Duke Qi Zhuang died of a sudden illness, I will guarantee that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life."
Tai Shizhong replied: "As historians, historical facts are more important than life, so I can't bear to obey our orders!"
Tai Shizhong still wrote directly according to the incident: "Cui Zhu killed Qizhuang Gongguang in his mansion."
Cui Zhu was so angry after reading this that he cut Taishi Zhong into several pieces and brutally killed him.
Later, Cui Zhu called Tai Shibo's third brother, Tai Shi Shu, and said fiercely: "You have seen the fate of your eldest brother and second brother. Please record that Qi Zhuanggong died of a sudden illness. Otherwise, you can think about the fate yourself." .”
Uncle Taishi straightened his clothes and replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "The sword is in your hand, and the pen is in my hand. Although I am afraid, it is the duty of a historian to tell the truth according to the facts. I apologize for not being able to obey."
Uncle Taishi records the same as the eldest and second brothers: "Cui Zhu killed Duke Guang of Qizhuang in his mansion."
Cui Zhu was so angry that he cut Uncle Taishi's body into thousands of pieces. Taishi Ji, the last remaining brother in Taishi's family, was also called over by Cui Zhu. Cui Zhu pointed at the corpses of Taishi Ji's three brothers and said to Taishi Ji: "We have no grievances, and I don't want to kill them all. You are now your Taishi." The last single seedling of our family has a family and children, so don’t be so stubborn and think it over carefully.”
Taishi Ji was unmoved and ignored Cui Zhu. Looking at the tragic death of his brothers, he still recorded truthfully: "Cui Zhu killed Qizhuang Gongguang in his mansion."
Cui Zhu was so angry that his eyesight turned black. He raised and put down the knife, raised and put it down again. This is when a subordinate came to report that another historian, Nan Shi, outside the door asked to see him, saying that if Tai Shi was killed, he would still write down the facts.
In the end, Cui Zhu put down the sword and never raised it again, letting Tai Shi Ji go, and the truth of this period of history was passed down.
This shows how upright ancient historians and similar scholars were.
After the historian, there is another official position.
He was called Yan Guan.
Yanguan was mainly composed of the imperial censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the six subjects. Most of them were of low or even low rank, but their political status was extremely prominent.
These Yanguan are responsible for supervising local officials and vassal kings, inspecting hundreds of officials, making inspections, and supervising the administration of local officials.
In the Longyan Dynasty, each vassal king's territory and major states had separate officials.
These people have recorded and logged the demands of the people and the emotions of the literati.
so.
Under such circumstances, it would be unrealistic to massacre this group of literati.
If it's an iron-blooded vassal king, of course it's a different matter...
It's a pity that Chen Ping is just a governor.
He still has to take care of those officials, how do they view this matter.
at this time.
He could only hide himself in Liangzhou Mansion with a gloomy face.
Rescue?
Why rescue?
What he wants is for the Liu family and his son to die in Dunhuang! What he wants is for all the 90,000 Yinzhou troops to die. At that time, who in the entire Liangzhou can still threaten me!
"grown ups……"
At this moment, a subordinate came to report: "Sir, the Yinzhou Army has indeed gone to Dunhuang... Haha, they also called on the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce to donate supplies and rush to aid Dunhuang!"
When Chen Ping heard this, he stood up suddenly and looked up to the sky with a big laugh: "Okay, okay, Liu Dahao, Liu Dahao, let's see how you and your son die this time!"
"What a pity, what a pity..."
"You are talented, but you are not ruthless enough!"
"No poison, no husband!"
"At this time, you actually went to Dunhuang to die? Hahahaha!"
He glanced at Liu Chang next to him and said with a sinister smile: "The evidence about Ma Yong should be almost collected. Send an order to rectify the Liangzhou army. In a few days, we will rush to Dunhuang!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Rush to aid Dunhuang?
I'm afraid I have to find fault with the Liu family and his son!
If the 90,000 Yinzhou army is lost in Dunhuang, and Chen Ping goes over to capture the Liu family and his son, he will be able to capture them easily!
"yes!"
Liu Chang took the order and ran out.
