"This bastard, how could I be sorry for him? He actually ran away without saying a word. He can really do it!" After receiving the report, Prince Jing couldn't help but threw the tea bowl in anger.
He loved Xiang Nan very much, but he didn't expect him to leave without saying goodbye. In the name of returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he actually ran away, which was really disappointing to him.
"Prince, don't be angry, maybe Xi Langzhong has his own difficulties." Lu Zhengming quickly comforted him.
"What trouble does he have? Can you tell me what trouble he has? Why did he leave?" Prince Jing said dissatisfied.
Lu Zhengming was also confused, so he came to Xiang Nan's home, pried open the door, and went inside. He saw that most of the clothes, furniture, furniture, and even medicinal materials were still there.
At first glance, it doesn't look like he's running away at all. But when I entered the main room, I saw a letter on the altar table. Lu Zhengming looked at the envelope and realized it was left for him.
When he opened it, his expression changed drastically.
It turned out that Xiang Nan elaborated in the letter the reasons why the reform reform would not succeed.
For example, the conservative forces were too strong, the reformers lacked correct theoretical guidance and strong organizational leadership, the reform measures adopted were too radical, and the reformers were too naive in their thinking, etc.
It was eloquent and written nearly 10,000 words. It was so profound that Lu Zhengming broke out in a cold sweat after reading it.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Xi was not only highly skilled in medicine, he was also so proficient in Western learning and political reform." He said with emotion, "I failed to meet the master because I was too blind to see the mountain."
Before, he only thought that Xiang Nan was a doctor with superb medical skills, but now he realized that he had missed a scholar and expert. However, although he admired Xiang Nan's knowledge, he did not agree with his opinions.
In his view, reform is imperative and will surely succeed.
…
At the same time, Xiang Nan reopened a pharmacy in Macau.
However, he did not use a ostentatious name like Yixiaotang again, lest the court would get the news and cause another disturbance.
Xin Medicine Shop is named after the word "乐" in the name of "Xilai Le" and the word "福" in the name of "Zhang Defu", so it is named Le Fu Tang Medicine Shop.
After opening, starting business is just average.
After all, the miracle doctor Xilaile cannot be used as a brand, and even if it is, not all Macau people may know what it is.
However, as Defu treated more and more patients and became famous, Lok Fu Tang's business also gradually improved.
…
About two months later, newspapers in Xiangjiang published news that fist fights broke out in Qilu, Yanzhao and other places, resulting in countless casualties and bloodshed.
When Xiang Nan saw it, he couldn't bear it. He knew that there would be a big epidemic after the disaster, and he hoped that the three epidemic prevention strategies he wrote would be effective.
Sure enough, after the war, because the dead were not buried in time and the weather was hot, the bodies quickly stinked and rotted. Due to wind and rain, rotten water mixed into rivers and wells, causing many people to become infected with the plague after drinking unclean water.
For a time, every family died, every household wore mourning, and 30% of the ten people in Cangzhou City died.
Prince Jing was ordered to go to provide disaster relief, and the drug dealer Chen Pi offered three strategies for epidemic prevention.
"Prince Jing, these are the three epidemic prevention strategies that Xilaile gave me three months ago. He told me that once an epidemic breaks out in Cangzhou, he will present the three strategies for the imperial envoy's reference." Chen Pi explained.
Prince Jing was stunned when he heard this, "When did you say he gave it to you?"
"Three months ago." Chen Pi explained, "Xi Langzhong gave it to me when I went to the capital to deliver medicine to Yixiaotang."
"Three months ago, he knew that there would be a plague in Cangzhou?" Prince Jing was surprised.
"I thought it was strange at the time, but he told me to put it away, so that it would be useful." Chen Pi explained, "Sure enough, it has only been three months, and it will be useful."
After hearing this, Prince Jing was filled with emotion.
Xiang Nan actually calculated that there was a plague in Cangzhou three months ago. It was a miraculous calculation and insight into the secrets of heaven. It's really a pity that such a talent can't be kept around.
Then he began to prevent and treat the plague based on the three epidemic prevention strategies formulated by Xiang Nan.
The first is to isolate patients and focus on treatment; the second is to administer free medicine and deliver medicine to households; the third is to disinfect water sources and clear up the source.
Among the three anti-epidemic strategies, Xiang Nan also prepared a prescription.
Prince Jing followed the instructions one by one, and sure enough, within half a month, the plague in Cangzhou was completely eliminated, and there were countless people alive.
The people of Cangzhou are all grateful. Especially when they learned that Xiang Nan had proposed three anti-epidemic strategies in advance three months ago even if a plague broke out in Cangzhou, they couldn't help but admire him.
"Xilaile is truly a miraculous doctor, a prophet who predicts the future, and is simply a fairy-like figure."
"Without Xi Langzhong's three epidemic prevention strategies, we in Cangzhou would probably have no one left."
"Xilaile is simply our great benefactor in Cangzhou. We should build a shrine to worship him."
The people spread the praises one after another, and for a while, the name of the miracle doctor Xiang Nan became louder and louder.
…
As soon as the plague in Cangzhou ended, the reform movement began with great vigor.
Emperor Guangxu issued two edicts in one day, abolishing the imperial examination and the green camp.
The news came and shocked the world.
Xiang Nan knew that the reform was about to fail, so he couldn't help but worry about Lu Zhengming.
"Brother Xi, there is a reform in the north." When Sai Xishi heard the news, he couldn't help but worry, "You said before that the reform will fail. Then I wonder what will happen to Prince Jing and Lu Zhengming?"
"Prince Jing is a member of the royal family after all. If the reform fails, he will be placed under house arrest at most. His life should be fine." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "I'm worried about Lu Zhengming. He has a straightforward temper and is impulsive. I'm afraid he will do something wrong. thing."
"I hope they are okay." Hu Suhua nodded.
…
Within four months, the reform movement failed.
Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned in Yingtai. Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others fled to the East. Six gentlemen such as Tan Sitong and Liu Guangdi were arrested and beheaded at Caishikou. Prince Jing was deprived of all his positions and closed his door to reflect on his mistakes...
After hearing the news in the newspaper, Hu Suhua, Sai Xishi, Defu, Ruixin and others couldn't help but admire Xiang Nan's wit.
Fortunately they ran away early. Otherwise, the emperor would be under house arrest, and they all would have to be put in prison.
"Old man, you are still smart."
"Brother Xi, you are really clever~"
"Master, you are really amazing! What you said is absolutely correct."
Everyone said in admiration, the last trace of resentment for escaping to Macau gone.
"Why didn't Mr. Lu's matter be mentioned in the newspaper?" Hu Suhua asked again.
"He might have escaped without being arrested." Xiang Nan guessed, "Just don't be impulsive and don't come back."
In the play, Lu Zhengming also escaped. But he couldn't swallow this breath, so he returned to the capital and assassinated Yuan Shikai. In the end, it only injured him, but cost his own life. It was totally worthless.
