Chapter 59 The Emperor’s Prescription Is More Accurate than that of the Imperial Physician!

After the emperor praised the fifth prince Cheng Gan, he summoned the imperial physician to see him.

Not long after, the ministers who were still in the cabinet heard about this.

"Is the emperor unwell?"

"Is he angry with Lord Jiang?"

"The emperor is ill, so should the examination of our ministers be postponed?"

The cabinet ministers pondered and discussed.

Soon, four or five imperial physicians were seen hurriedly carrying medicine boxes into the inner hall.

At this moment, the ministers' expressions became serious.

If the emperor's dragon body is damaged, it is a major event for the country!

The courageous ministers had already left the front hall of the cabinet to handle government affairs and went to ask the eunuchs.

"What is the matter with so many imperial physicians entering?"

The little eunuch took the money and rolled his eyes.

It was not a secret that could not be passed on, so he did not hide it.

"The emperor said to summon the imperial physician to study the prescription."

The ministers were stunned and speechless.

The emperor is still researching a recipe for longevity?

Instead of taking pills, he wants to take medicine?

This is not doing his job properly!

"Master Fucha, should we persuade the emperor?"

Fucha was also tangled, "Wait two days, the emperor is angry."

Jiang Yixu has hurt a group of important officials today.

When the emperor is angry, he will test their skills.

Three days later, let them take the exam in the hall.

The emperor's meaning is very clear. Those who fail the exam and have no knowledge are not qualified to advise him, the emperor!

Fucha thought about it and looked at a group of important officials, "When you go back from duty these days, remember to review your lessons."

The faces of several ministers suddenly changed from red to black.

They are all in their forties and fifties!

Many people's grandchildren have finished the imperial examinations. At their age, they still have to go back to review their lessons like children? ? ?

"We are in high positions. We may not be able to reach the level of the top scholar, but at least we have to answer at the level of the newly-appointed Jinshi in this examination."

Grand Master Fucha frowned, "Otherwise, how can you host the first imperial examination of the year?"

Several ministers immediately touched their chests in pain.

Three days later, the emperor will test them. If they fail, they will be publicly embarrassed at Zhengyang Gate!

Like Jiang Yixu, they will no longer have the face to claim that they are scholars!

"Grand Master is right. Then I will quit my duty today and go home to read books."

"I will go back too. Hey, I will ask my grandson to borrow a set of ten-year imperial examination editors."

"Grand Master, then I will take three days off."

"..."

Grand Master Fucha's mouth twitched.

A bunch of guys who just want to eat!

They don't read books normally, and they have to take temporary leave to make up for it!

He sighed fiercely, "Go, go."

Looking in the direction of the emperor's bedroom, Grand Master Fucha felt heavy-hearted.

The emperor is becoming less and less like before.

It seemed that he was gradually out of control of their cabinet.

After this minister assessment, he must find a way to give the emperor a warning.

"Longduo, you were the top scholar that year, and you will definitely pass the assessment in three days."

Fu Cha thought about it and said.

"Write a memorial when you go back today, asking the emperor not to indulge in longevity drugs and not to do his job and work with the Imperial Hospital."

"When the minister assessment results come out in three days, you will be among the top, so immediately send the memorial of remonstration."

Censor Longduo immediately agreed.

Fu Cha nodded.

The emperor disliked those who scolded him for being unskilled, so he would find a top scholar to scold the emperor.

In this way, the emperor will have no objection!

It's time to be obedient, right?

*

The emperor's study.

A group of princes witnessed Xiao Yunzhou's change from a tense face to a happy face.

"Well, Cheng Gan, you wrote an excellent article on the plague."

"Look through the ancient books and find ways to isolate the high temperature and bury the bodies as soon as possible. I will immediately send a letter and order the county magistrates in the Yellow River Basin to do it!"

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou praised it greatly.

Several princes looked at the fifth prince Cheng Gan in astonishment, envy, and jealousy.

Cheng Gan had a blank expression, still looking mature like a little adult, "Father, you are too kind. I just heard the master in the study talk about the floods in previous years and I was worried about it before I looked through the books."

"But I didn't find too many ways to deal with the plague."

As he said, he took advantage of the gap between the emperor's writing and looked at the swaddling clothes in the emperor's arms with gratitude.

It was his sister who reminded him that he remembered to start researching.

That day, his sister said that she had drawn three books, one of which was about the plague.

But his sister was attracted by her mother's plan to make winter clothes at that time, so she only talked about the improvement of weaving methods and didn't mention the plague again.

Cheng Gan felt very sorry at the time, and later wanted to tease his sister to speak again, but the prince had a heavy workload, and when he went to see his sister after dark, she was often asleep.

He never found an opportunity to listen to his sister talk about the secret recipe for the plague again.

Cheng Gan thought, just write an article so that his father can pay attention to it.

This is better than doing nothing.

Unexpectedly, Chuchu was brought here awake today, and she was still very sober.

She lay in the emperor's arms and secretly read the plague article.

The voice of Nuojiji could not be stopped.

[In addition to the high temperature disinfection of patient equipment and isolation mentioned by my brother, there is also a method of timely burial of the body. ]

[In addition, there is a recipe for Sanwen Decoction, three qian of Schizonepeta, five qian of Gypsum, three qian of Radix Trichosanthis, one qian of Raw Licorice... decoct in water. ]

The emperor pricked up his ears and his eyes lit up.

The fifth prince Cheng Gan was also overjoyed.

Even if it might be exposed that he heard his sister's voice, he felt that it was worth it to take the risk of mentioning the plague to his father.

If he could save 100,000 people in the world from the suffering of the plague, what would it matter if he, a prince, was feared by his father?

Cheng Gan lowered his head, extremely happy, and the corners of his straight mouth could not help but rise.

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou quickly memorized the prescription, and when he looked up, he saw the fifth son smiling slightly, and he was stunned.

The fifth son was always mature and did not show his emotions.

He always thought that this son was the most heartless.

Who would have thought that now that his father praised him, the fifth son could not help but laugh.

Xiao Yunzhou was shocked, because his son was eager to be praised and valued by his father.

For a moment, Xiao Yunzhou, who usually practiced Taoism and was indifferent to family affection, felt a trace of precious father-son affection.

It had nothing to do with imperial power or wealth, but was simple, just like the little pride and happiness of a child being praised by his father.

It was really warm.

Xiao Yunzhou got a heaven-sent prescription and the love between father and son, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, the doctors are here."

Xiao Yunzhou nodded when he heard the eunuch's report, and immediately stopped smiling and asked his sons to go to school.

"Today, I will reward the fifth prince with a bowl of green rice."

"If the rest of you brothers and sisters are like Cheng Gan, working for the benefit of the people and caring about the safety of the world, I will reward you in the future."

The expressions of the eldest prince and the third prince changed.

When the children left and the doctors came in, the emperor got straight to the point.

"After the flood, there will be plague. I want you to discuss an effective plague prescription immediately."

The doctors glared at him, "Your Majesty, plague has been no joke since ancient times. It has not happened yet, and the symptoms are completely unknown."

"How can we study the prescription?"

Xiao Yunzhou glared.

He was about to get angry, but he felt his arm sink.

When he looked down, he saw his precious daughter sleeping soundly in his arms, her little head resting peacefully on his right arm, not to mention how well-behaved and cute she was.

Xiao Yunzhou immediately put away his anger and lowered his voice, fearing that he would wake up his daughter.

The imperial doctors were still protesting, "Your Majesty, different professions are like different mountains. How can the plague prescription be as easy as your Majesty said?"

The emperors of Jingguo have always been very peaceful, and Xiao Yunzhou is a Taoist monk. In the past, he emphasized self-cultivation and not doing evil in order to live a long life.

Therefore, the imperial doctors were also very bold. Knowing that the emperor would not punish him severely, they spared no effort to criticize Xiao Yunzhou.

"In short, this matter is difficult. There is no effective prescription so far. I hope your majesty knows." The leading imperial doctor puffed out his chest.

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes twitched.

But soon he looked down at the table and saw the plague prescription he had written according to his daughter's thoughts just now.

He glanced at his daughter's sleeping face, and then shamelessly recited, "Looking through ancient books, you can know that since ancient times, the heat of plague is mostly caused by the fire of the lung and stomach meridians."

"We should use Nepeta tenuifolia to suppress evil, and then use gypsum and Scutellaria baicalensis to relieve fire..."

Xiao Yunzhou said it fluently.

The head of the Imperial Hospital, who was standing with his hands behind his back and looking disapproving, changed his face as he listened.

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou continued to mutter, "You can't do it, but I am thinking about the safety of the people, so I read the book and drafted a prescription overnight."

"Three cents of Nepeta tenuifolia, five cents of Poria cocos..."

"I named this prescription Sanwen Decoction."

"What do you think, huh?"

The imperial doctors all opened their mouths and raised their heads in an instant.

Looking at Emperor Xiao Yunzhou, they seemed to not recognize him!

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute...

What did the emperor say?

It's not nonsense, but a precise prescription! ?

The imperial physician was so shocked that he was speechless.

The emperor was busy with government affairs, but why... why was he so precise in his prescriptions? !
