At noon, Tai Chi Palace and Ganlu Palace
It was noon, and the sunlight penetrated through the cracks in the hall door and penetrated into the spacious hall, giving the hall a touch of warmth in the afternoon.
Li Shimin, who had just had lunch, was leaning on an official chair, squinting his eyes and sipping tea leisurely.
In the morning, I heard reports from the ministers that most of the refugees have now been resettled in several refugee gathering places outside Chang'an City.
Although there are still scattered victims heading to Chang'an, most of the refugees have been properly resettled.
Moreover, the refugees responded very well to the imperial government's work-for-relief policy, and they all actively cooperated.
The mood of the refugees was relatively stable, and no large-scale disturbances occurred.
Li Shimin's long-term worries about the refugees have finally dissipated.
At the moment, while drinking tea, he was wondering whether he should go to Qinjiazhuang to perform a tooth ceremony in a few days.
Although the chef went to Qin Mansion to learn cooking skills for a few days, Li Shimin always felt that the food cooked by the chef was not as delicious as the food in Qin Mansion.
"By the way, we have to go and see how that boy Qin Ming grows vegetables."
At this moment, the sharp voice of the eunuch outside the door reached Li Shimin's ears, interrupting his train of thought.
"The Queen has arrived."
Accompanied by the sound of the palace door being pushed open.
Li Shimin put down his teacup and raised his head to see Empress Changsun and Yuechan hurriedly entering the hall.
Seeing the anxious look on his eldest grandson's face, he wondered:
"Guanyin maid, why are you so anxious? Come and sit down here."
Empress Changsun saluted Li Shimin and said:
"I see you, your majesty. May your majesty be safe."
"My slave, please see your majesty. May your majesty be safe."
"I have something urgent to do here, and I want to report it to Your Majesty."
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately sat upright. After all, if Guanyin Maid could think it was an emergency, it meant that the matter was very important, so he said:
"Well, what happened?"
After the eldest grandson sat down, he looked at Yue Chan in the main hall and said:
"Yuechan, please report to His Majesty what you just told me."
Yuechan nodded and saluted again:
"Your Majesty, when I returned to Chang'an with Mr. Qin today, I passed by a refugee gathering place."
"After Mr. Qin went to visit the refugee gathering place, he came out looking very ugly."
"The slave asked the reason, and Mr. Qin told the slave that there was something wrong with the place where the refugees gathered."
"If it is not solved, it will easily cause an epidemic. Mr. Qin asked me to come back to His Majesty and inform him of this matter."
"My slave guesses that he wants to convey this matter to the court through His Majesty and attract the court's attention."
Hearing this, Li Shimin was so shocked that he stood up, looked at Yue Chan and said:
"Then can he tell you what's wrong with the gathering place?"
Yuechan heard Li Shimin's question, so she told her the reason Qin Ming had told her before.
He also said that he had ways to mitigate the spread of the epidemic and hoped to meet Li Shimin.
Since Qin Ming did not tell her how to alleviate the problem, she could only go back to the palace to report the matter and explained that Qin Ming was currently waiting for news in the teahouse.
After listening to Yuechan's words, Li Shimin sat in a chair and thought for a while.
He was a little anxious when he heard about the epidemic just now, so he acted a little rude. At this time, he listened to Yuechan's report.
Li Shimin calmed down instead. After his own analysis, he still didn't believe it.
After all, according to Baiqisi's previous investigation, Qin Ming had never learned medical skills.
Today, he just looked at the situation at the gathering place and said that Chang'an City might cause a large-scale epidemic.
Li Shimin felt that if there was really a possibility of causing an epidemic, the person who came to report it should be a medical doctor sent by the imperial court.
Rather than a person who has never studied medicine.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked at Queen Changsun and said:
"Mr. Guanyin, what do you think about Qin Ming's statement that refugee gathering places may cause epidemics?"
When Queen Changsun heard this, she frowned and said:
"I think it is better to believe that this matter is true than to believe that it is not true. If what he said is true, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Moreover, I feel that this kid Qin Ming is not just a person who talks nonsense."
Li Shimin nodded when he heard his eldest grandson's words.
The eldest grandson saw that Li Shimin had doubts about what Qin Ming reported.
She thought for a while and then continued:
"Your Majesty, why don't you bring some medical doctors to see him and let the medical doctors judge whether his words are credible."
Li Shimin thought about it and felt that this method was feasible. In addition, he could also bring Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji with him.
Let them also judge the authenticity of this matter.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin turned to his eldest grandson and said with an appreciative look:
"Guanyin Maid is still thoughtful. Then I will call Xuan Ling and Auxiliary Machine later, and then bring a few medical doctors with me to meet that boy Qin Ming."
The eldest grandson breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and saw that His Majesty had already made a decision.
After leaving Yuechan behind, he went back to Lizheng Hall.
Half an hour later, the eunuch took Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling to the Manlu Hall respectively.
Li Shimin explained the ins and outs of the matter to the two of them.
After hearing this, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji both attached great importance to this matter.
I also understand that His Majesty took them with him because he wanted them to help judge the authenticity of this matter.
The three of them changed into casual clothes and brought two medical doctors with them.
Get on the carriage and leave the palace, heading towards the east market.
Along the way, through the conversation between Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling.
Changsun Wuji finally understood why His Majesty paid so much attention to this young man named Qin Ming.
It turned out that he was the one who proposed the work-for-disaster relief method.
This also reminded him of the past few days.
The young man who offended his second son, eldest son Sun Huan, was probably Qin Ming.
"I want to see what kind of ability this boy has that makes His Majesty and my sister value him so much."
Changsun Wuji thought secretly in his heart.
.....
No time, Chang'an East City, Ximeng Tower
In a certain elegant room on the second floor of Ximeng Tower, Qin Ming was pacing back and forth, mumbling something.
While waiting for Li Shimin's arrival, he carefully thought about some of the means and methods of epidemic prevention in later generations.
"The most important thing now is how to make Li Er believe my words and convince him that my epidemic prevention measures are effective."
"Anyone who can become an emperor will be somewhat suspicious in character."
"It is impossible to waste manpower and material resources on carrying out epidemic prevention measures just because of one-sided words."
"So I must have enough reasons, or evidence, to convince him."
"If I use the reason I read in ancient books to prevaricate Li Er."
"Li Er will most likely ask for books, or ask about the names of books."
"If I can't tell and Li Er doesn't believe it, then the victims and the ordinary people of Chang'an City will be the unlucky ones in the end."
"I can't say that I had a dream. I dreamed that people a thousand years from now would prevent and treat diseases in this way."
"I guess if this reason is revealed, Li Er will either regard it as a joke or be locked up by Li Er."
"Both of these arguments are obviously unacceptable. How can I say it in a way that is both persuasive and free of suspicion?"
"Yes, I can use the celebrity effect. Taoist priest Sun Simao is very suitable. I can use Taoist priest Sun's name to persuade him."
"But there is a bagel here. If Sun Simao comes to Chang'an in the future and is asked about it by Li Shimin, it may be mine. This excuse will be revealed."
"Uh-huh...."
"Well, forget it. Let's use Daozhang Sun's reputation first and wait until we pass this test."
"At worst, send more people and find Daozhang Sun one step ahead of Li. Then this bagel will be solved."
