The disappearance of the two princes did not cause as much uproar as it should have. Both Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao knew that the government was already in a state of turmoil, and if the pro-military captain's mansion closed the city, it would surely arouse even more panic.
Fortunately, the whereabouts of Zhu Xi and Zhu Di are relatively clear. After asking the guards at the gate of the imperial city, they learned that King Qin had sent a team of guards to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to pick up some items this morning. There is no doubt that Zhu Xi and Zhu Su left the palace among the guards. If you follow the clues again, you will know that after King Qin and King Yan mobilized a team of guards at King Qin's palace, they headed east directly out of the city.
"These two guys... are so courageous..." Zhu Biao looked at the report presented in Jinshen Hall and couldn't laugh or cry. "Dad, the second and fourth sons must not have gone far yet. My son will set off now. I think he can chase them back..."
"No need." Lao Zhu slapped the letter left by Zhu Xi and Zhu Di on the table.
"It's not lost. Isn't it written down? These two bastards felt that the palace was too boring, so they sneaked out of the palace to play with Lao Wu."
"You might as well go find Lao Wu...it's just right to be a companion with Lao Wu."
"But..." Zhu Biao was still a little worried. "The two brothers went rashly, if anything goes wrong..."
"What could be wrong?" Lao Zhu snorted. "Those two monkey cubs are very smart. It's good to endure hardships, let them know some of the sufferings of the people!"
"When we are at their age, aren't we running around just to beg for a bite to eat? Besides, don't we have the second oldest Wang Wei?"
"With those guards here, I can't wrong these two princes!"
"This..." Zhu Biao thought about it. The second eldest Qin Wangwei was a veteran of hundreds of battles. Although he only led a few dozen people, everyone had a horse. If they mount their horses and form a military formation, a bandit camp of several thousand people can break through. It is more than enough to protect the second and fourth children.
After all, if you care about yourself, you will be in trouble.
Lao Zhu naturally knew that Zhu Biao truly cared for his two younger brothers. When I think about Zhu Xi and Zhu Di sneaking out of the palace, they may not be concerned about the fact that their younger brother Zhu Su is alone in Suzhou.
It is the blessing of Ming Dynasty that their brothers can always live in harmony.
Unconsciously, he glanced at the letter on the imperial case with his peripheral vision, and couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart. "These two traitors only want to go out and have fun outside, and don't want to spend the New Year with us in the palace."
"Come back to the palace, no one can escape."
"Uh..." Zhu Biao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that the second and fourth child's buttocks had to suffer a severe blow.
…
Let's talk about Zhu Su's side. Since the merchants plundered a lot of food, the victims in the west of the city no longer suffer from hunger, so they are naturally grateful. Zhu Su took the opportunity to publish the "Hygiene and Epidemic Prevention Guide", which required the victims to drink only boiled water and take baths every few days. He also mobilized them to kill rats, ants and mosquitoes, clean up stagnant water, spread lime for disinfection, etc.
If any of the disaster victims in the west of the city did not take a bath or drink boiled water, they would not be given porridge directly. Since this prince was the benefactor who kept them fed, although the victims didn't take it seriously, they still followed it one by one.
After all, as a wealthy and important person as the prince, he must take ten baths a day on weekdays. Thinking about it, I only wear one piece of clothing and lose another. I don't think it's normal for us sloppy guys.
The prince has given us food to eat. In order not to stain the prince's eyes, it doesn't matter that we tidy ourselves up. There will be no missing pieces of meat on the left and right.
With this mentality, all the victims thoroughly cleaned up the originally dirty west side of the city. Everyone thought that this was just complying with the willful prince's own insistence. Only Dai Sigong, a doctor, noticed that since the implementation of Zhu Su's "Health and Epidemic Prevention Guidelines" in the west of the city, patients with suspected symptoms of potbelly disease have appeared every day. They are all decreasing!
Zhu Su's method actually completely nipped the disease that was already on the rise in its bud!
"This prince actually knows how to fight against the epidemic!"
Dai Sigong couldn't control the excitement in his heart. Since ancient times, when encountering an epidemic, only by isolating the infected person from the crowd can we prevent the disease from spreading on a large scale.
Even isolation alone cannot prevent some diseases. In some radical remote places, people infected with the epidemic will be thrown into fire and burned to death...
Nowadays, just taking a bath, boiling water, and catching rats, ants, and mosquitoes can control the epidemic within a controllable range.
If this method were implemented in the world, how many fewer people would die in disaster years!
The prince also revealed a "virus theory", saying that the Buddhist saying that there are three thousand living beings in a drop of water is indeed true. Epidemics and even many kinds of diseases are caused by "viruses" in these "creatures".
The method in this "Epidemic Prevention Guide" is to eliminate and kill the "virus" carried in things in advance to achieve the effect of epidemic prevention.
Moreover, if we can understand the birth and death of these viruses, we can push medicine to a whole new level...
Although Dai Sigong didn't believe it at first, now that the facts are in front of him, he really has to believe it. He felt as if he was about to enter a new realm of medicine.
As long as we can obtain the medical artifact that the prince mentioned: the "microscope"...
"Your Highness, Divine Doctor Dai came to visit again this morning. I asked Your Highness when he will return to the capital. He has already packed his luggage and will go with him." It was a cold winter day, and Zhu Su slept until three o'clock in the morning. When he woke up, he was brushing his teeth with a toothbrush he made. I heard the dog complain to me helplessly.
"Uh..." Zhu Su was also a little helpless. In order to trick a miracle doctor like Dai Sigong away, Zhu Su found a time to change the "virus theory" to him in a way that was acceptable to ancient people. He even made a simple microscope using the high-quality glass stocked by the Shen family.
Today's glass-making techniques are still unable to produce glass without blisters, and naturally this microscope cannot truly see "cells" clearly. But being able to magnify things microscopically to such an extent still shocked Dai Sigong. He began to believe that Zhu Su had really seen "three thousand creatures in a drop of water" and was excited about this great discovery that might promote medical progress. Incessantly.
Zhu Su, who successfully aroused Dai Sigong's interest, naturally would not miss this opportunity. After informing Dai Sigong that Jingzhonghuangzhuang could produce glass with better quality and more suitable for making microscopes, Dai Sigong suddenly became impatient. He also cured patients with mild symptoms. Every morning, he came to ask Zhu Su when he would leave for Beijing.
"This fire... has burned too much..." Zhu Su took the handkerchief handed over by Gou'er and wiped his face in shame.
Yesterday, after Gou'er used the excuse that "His Royal Highness is resting and not awake yet" to prevaricate him away, Dai Sigong said with a hint of truth, "His Royal Highness is still young but does not wake up during the day, which may cause damage to the internal organs."
Today, I even had my package ready, so I asked myself when I would leave.
Now he is still somewhat concerned about the difference between superiority and inferiority. In a few days, he might just break into the garden and pull the covers off him.
