Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation
Chapter 45: Finally Meeting Sun Simiao
Chapter 45: Finally Meeting Sun Simiao
“Everyone put on a mask!”
Three days later, the group entered an even more desolate place where there was no one living.
Upon hearing this, everyone took out the cloth masks they had prepared long ago and put them on their faces.
"Your Highness, can this really prevent the epidemic?" Zhen Liyan asked curiously as he walked.
"Of course, diseases come from the mouth, and these tiny bugs are floating around us. Every breath I take may be inhaled into them. It doesn't mean that they can only enter our bodies through water and food."
Li Chengqian explained seriously.
His words startled everyone present. They began to look around, as if there were invisible dangers all around them and they felt uncomfortable all over.
"Of course, we have to boil the water before we drink it. After we enter Xuzhou City, we will post this method in the form of a notice." Li Chengqian continued.
In fact, the reason why the plague was so terrible in ancient times was that the ancients knew nothing about its pathogenic mechanism and were unable to take effective protective measures.
Being infected with a little bit of germs usually won’t be a big problem, but if you are exposed to an epidemic environment for a long time, you will definitely not be able to withstand it.
Along the way, corpses began to appear in the wilderness, which was horrifying to watch.
Some died of the epidemic, but more died of hunger.
"Who are you? Xuzhou City is under martial law. No one is allowed to enter or leave!"
On the top of the city wall, there were still a few soldiers vaguely visible, maintaining basic public order.
Looking at the convoy approaching from afar, he shouted loudly that the entire Xuzhou city was now the source of the disease.
"The King of Yue governs quite well!"
Li Chengqian got off the car and saw that there was no chaos in Xuzhou City, and he couldn't help but praise it.
Li Zhen, King of Yue, was the eighth son of Li Er. He was older than Zhinu and equally capable, but he was not the heir of Empress Zhangsun. Therefore, during the Zhenguan period, he did not even think about wanting that position and was content to be a good prince.
During Wu Zetian's reign, Li Zhen united with the Li kings to launch an attack. After being defeated, he committed suicide by taking poison, showing his extraordinary fortitude.
He was first appointed as the governor of Xuzhou, and later he was renamed King of Yue by Li Shimin.
"Open the city gate! This is the imperial envoy who has come to Xuzhou to provide disaster relief." Wang Xun rode forward and took out the imperial edict.
In the Governor's Mansion, King Li Zhen of Yue also got the news first and stood at the back of the hall. Given his status, he certainly didn't need to go to greet him.
Li Chengqian waved his hand, telling Wang Xun not to say anything, and went to the lobby.
Li Zhen has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Although he is a few years younger than Li Chengqian, he is in good health and looks energetic.
At this time, Li Zhenjian frowned and looked at the masked man walking towards him. He felt somewhat familiar and was limping. The more he looked at him, the more bad premonition he had.
"Eighth Brother, we haven't seen each other for just a few months, and you don't recognize me as your brother?" Li Chengqian asked loudly.
"Your Highness, why are you here? Xuzhou is a severely affected area. How could you come here?"
Li Zhen almost jumped up in anger. His place was already in chaos enough and he was ready to leave, so why did this gentleman come here at this time?
In the eyes of all the princes, Li Chengqian is not a good person.
"I'm here to help you, aren't you happy?" Li Chengqian stepped forward and waved his hand.
The two Dragon Guards placed the framed masks in the lobby.
"I will not be polite to you. I will order your officials to make masks immediately and distribute them to all residents in the city. I will ask them to wear masks, isolate the seriously ill, and boil water before drinking."
"You guys should put them on, too."
Li Chengqian gave the order directly.
“Has the plague been brought under control?”
"Well, this is all thanks to Dr. Sun, who has already prescribed a medicine that can cure the plague." Li Zhen nodded. "A medicine to cure the plague?" Zhen Liyan was shocked. In the past, people were afraid of the plague like a tiger, and no one had ever been able to do this.
Li Chengqian naturally believed what Li Zhen said. If it were not the case, he would not have come to Xuzhou.
In the chapter "Bi Wen" in Volume 9 of Qian Jin Yao Fang (Thousand Golden Prescriptions) by Sun Simiao, there is a prescription for treating epidemic febrile diseases. According to the records in the book, Sun Simiao was the first person to propose a prescription for treating the plague.
"Where is Medicine King Sun? Take me to see him."
Li Chengqian also seemed a little impatient.
"Divine Doctor Sun is in the severely affected area in the north of the city. I can just send someone to invite him."
How could the prince of the Tang Dynasty set foot in such a disaster area? If anything bad happened, he, Li Zhen, would be buried with him.
"Can you please him? Even His Majesty's decree could not please our Medicine King."
"Besides, Medicine King Sun can cure other people's epidemics, so why can't I? As long as you pay attention to protection, you won't be infected."
Li Chengqian turned around and headed towards the north of the city.
"Prince, wait a minute!"
Li Zhen shouted, isn't this gentleman here to make trouble?
"If you want to come with me, please wear a mask and don't ignore my words."
Li Chengqian pointed at Li Zhen with a sharp look.
"Quick! Quick, go and ask Dr. Sun to come over."
Li Zhen was extremely anxious, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead and his eyes full of worry and anxiety. He urged the people around him to ask for Dr. Sun, while nervously looking ahead.
Passing through the desolate urban area, Li Chengqian finally met the famous medicine king Sun Simiao.
At this time, Sun Simiao was diagnosing the patient carefully. He was so focused and devoted that he seemed to have forgotten everything around him. He was a doctor, but he looked more like a Taoist priest.
He was dressed in a simple Taoist robe, with a kind face, radiant and energetic, not like an ordinary old man at all. He looked as handsome as a teenager, which was amazing. This was because he was good at keeping healthy and had the skills to keep his youth.
According to unofficial historical records, Sun Simiao lived to be 141 years old. Someone once wrote a poem for him: "Celebrating the double milestone of 70 years, adding another year to my life" to praise his longevity.
"King Yue, this is a severely affected area. You are a precious person, you cannot come here."
As he was speaking, a young girl came walking towards him quickly. Her voice was like the sound of a spring in an empty mountain, pleasant to the ears and making people feel relaxed and happy.
Her clothes are plain and simple, but they cannot conceal her fresh and unworldly beauty and purity, like a jade next door.
King Li Zhen of Yue looked helpless and secretly complained in his heart. How could he be willing to come to this dangerous epidemic area in person?
He turned to look at the people behind him and explained, "These are my friends. They want to meet Dr. Sun."
The girl raised her eyes, glanced at Li Chengqian and others who were dressed strangely, and frowned slightly.
"You think Xuzhou City isn't chaotic enough, so you're all running to the epidemic area, right?"
Her words were full of reproach, leaving everyone speechless for a moment.
Yue Wang Li Zhen quickly defended the crowd: "They all have good intentions and want to help the people in the epidemic area."
The girl sighed, a hint of fatigue in her eyes.
"How can they help?"
In her opinion, this group of rich kids were here just to cause trouble.
