Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 406: 15 Years of Zhenguan

Zhang Xuansu received another reward recently, and was bestowed by Li Shimin as Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, the concubine son of Xingzuo.

As for the main result, it was to advise Li Chengqian one after another to prevent Li Chengqian from hunting and playing.

Li Shimin said that Zhang Xuansu did a good job and gave him a commendation.

After that, Zhang Xuansu became even more energetic.

One day Li Chengqian got excited and played drums in the East Palace, probably playing heavy music in his own home. The sound of the drums traveled far away, anyway, the whole East Palace could hear clearly.

Zhang Xuansu quickly came over to persuade Li Chengqian, who made Li Chengqian's head big, and destroyed the drum in front of Zhang Xuansu.

A few days later, Li Chengqian was really annoyed that his subordinates would spit on him every now and then.

In particular, Zhang Xuansu was inexplicably promoted by Li Shimin to Doctor Yinqing Guanglu by relying on the so-called direct advice, and he was dismissed from the third rank.

This made the eyes of the other officials brighten up, and they followed suit one by one, and when they made a little mistake, a group of people came over to criticize.

Anyway, looking at it gave me quite a headache, so Li Chengqian chose not to leave the palace and let himself be quiet.

Then within a few days, Zhang Xuansu took the lead and came to remonstrate,

"The imperial court selects a noble and virtuous minister (me) to assist the crown prince, but the crown prince has been hiding in the palace these days, so what good is it for you? There are only women in the palace. I don't know if there is any fan who can rival Duke Zhuang of Chu. Ji's!"

The prince said, I just want to be quiet, can you let me be quiet for a few days.

The historian silently took a pen to record beside him, but the prince didn't listen.

All in all, Li Chengqian felt that his life was becoming more and more difficult, and where the officials around him were his subordinates, they were clearly selected by Li Shimin to monitor him.

It's only been 15 years of Zhenguan, I don't know when such a day will end!
Just when Li Chengqian was extremely aggrieved, Li Shimin made a decision to visit Luoyang in May!
After all, Li Tai hasn't returned to Chang'an since the Chang'an assassination incident.

I haven't seen Qingque for two years, so I plan to take Empress Changsun to Luoyang Xiangcheng Palace to escape the summer heat.

The construction of this palace started in the 14th year of Zhenguan, and now it has been built in sevens and eighties, and it is time to escape the summer heat.

Obviously, Li Shimin's matter had been planned long ago.

But Li Shimin's order was issued, and the court had no reason to object.

After all, when the Xiangcheng Palace was being built, the court ministers had expected it.

Then he ordered Li Chengqian to stay to supervise the country, and at the same time leave Gao Shilian to serve as Li Chengqian's assistant minister.

As for Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, they naturally went to escape the summer heat together.

When Li Shimin came to Luoyang with his eldest grandson in a hurry, he saw Yan Lide and her daughter Wei Wangfei Yan Wan brought Luoyang officials out to greet him.

But his own son, Li Tai, whom he had been looking forward to for a long time, was not here!What about my son, what about my older son?
"Zhu Qing is in peace!" Li Shimin first excused everyone, then received Yan Lide and Yan Wan, and asked immediately,

"What about Qingque, why didn't he come to see me!"

At this moment, even Empress Changsun's eyes showed some curiosity, because Empress Changsun did not expect that Qing Que was not there.

"The king of Wei has gone to Hanoi!" Yan Lide said,

"Just a few days ago, the plague broke out in Zezhou, and it intensified and spread to Jiyuan and Hanoi.

The king of Wei dispatched the doctors in the hospital overnight, the unscrupulous people, and the corvees in Luoyang rushed there.

He personally sat in Hanoi to stabilize the people of Gyeonggi-do, and said that he would never let the plague enter Luoyang. "

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned and said, "Why are you running so hard in the epidemic area? How many lives does he have?"

Although Empress Changsun's face turned pale at the moment, she comforted Li Shimin,
"Saint, it's a blessing for me in Tang Dynasty that Qingque can put the common people's society first. The saint should be grateful, so why should we sigh!"

Li Shimin nodded when he heard Empress Changsun's words, but immediately frowned again.

At this moment, Du Ruhui spoke aside and said:

"Sage, this is not the first time Wei Wang has dealt with the plague, I believe Wei Wang must take precautions.

It should be noted now that the matter involved Zezhou, and it was not within the jurisdiction of Henan Province and Gyeonggi Province. This made Wei Wang stationed in Hanoi, and did not dare to cross the king's house and enter Zezhou.

So I also ask the sage to grant King Wei the right to control the plague, so that he can enter Zezhou to completely eradicate the source of the disease. "

"Li Junxian!" Li Shimin shouted to the commander of his Xuanjia Army, "Go to Hanoi as quickly as possible, go to inform Qingque, let him preside over the plague, and allow him to interstate !"

"Follow the order!" Li Junxian heard Li Shimin's words, immediately mounted his steed, and rushed to Hanoi!
At this moment, after Li Tai led the doctors, bad people, and corvee workers here, he immediately started to act.

The first is to dispatch local county soldiers to station at various intersections to prevent the people of Zezhou from fleeing to Hanoi.

In particular, strengthen inspections of major rivers such as Danshui and Qinshui. If you see someone dying in it, take them out and cremate them quickly to avoid polluting water sources.

Of course, Li Tai is not so inhumane. After all, two intersections are left, and all of them are handed over to bad people for inspection.

Because of the plague, the people fleeing famine have almost become frightened birds, and a little impact may cause riots.

At this time, real ruthless people are needed to deter them. If they are obedient, it's fine. If they are not obedient, Li Tai will really order the bad people to kill them to quiet them down.

Next, the corvee was asked to establish a small village outside the two cities of Hanoi and Jiyuan, named Fangcang.

To put it simply, all the people who had fled were brought into this village for isolation.

The village classifies and isolates the people according to the intensity of the disease, and the doctors in the hospital begin to treat the people regularly.

In the end, even if the disease is cured, they must be observed for half a month to ensure that they will not be infected again.

As for those who have fully recovered, if there are relatives in Luoyang who can take care of them, then directly assist them to go to relatives.

If they had nothing but escaped from the famine, they would be arranged to become corvees with food and lodging, and their jobs would be changed on the spot.

All in all, the main roads from Zezhou to Luoyang in Hanoi and Zeyuan were effectively controlled by Li Tai.

The plague that spread from Zezhou did not continue to spread to Luoyang.

But regarding the situation in Zezhou, even though Wangwu Mountain and Taihang Mountain were separated, Li Tai also knew that these two places were not very good.

But his current status is not convenient to intervene, after all, strictly speaking, that side belongs to Hedong Road.

"King Wei, it's time to eat!" Bai He brought the food over to Li Tai and reminded Li Tai.

"Yeah!" Li Tai started to move without hesitation when he heard this.

Li Tai never skipped meals because of his busy schedule. On the contrary, the busier he was, the more regular his diet became.

Even one's own food will be better, such as the current food, four dishes and one soup, chicken, duck and fish.

"How is the situation in the two Fangcang villages? Is the supply sufficient?" Li Tai asked Bai He.

"Luoyang is rich in materials, and Mr. Chu Ke is preparing, and the materials are continuously transported to Hanoi and Zeyuan.

So I ask King Wei to have confidence in us! " Bai He replied very respectfully.

However, soon Bai He's face showed a look of embarrassment,
"It's just that people from Zezhou come here from time to time. I don't know when such a day will end!"

"Let's wait for now!" Li Tai said calmly, "When the imperial court reacts, it will send people from the imperial medical office to Zezhou to rectify the plague. At that time, the plague will naturally be brought under control."

To be honest, with the establishment of the medical camp and the popularization of the hospital system, when a plague really occurs, the medical camp will also come to suppress the plague under the leadership of the Imperial Medical Office.

One of the most important reasons for Li Tai's emphasis on controlling the plague is because of the population.

After all, the society is relatively peaceful, and the number one murderer who can kill a large number of people is the plague.

The only pity is that although there are top medicine kings like Sun Simiao in this era, there is only one Sun Simiao. When the plague really caught his ears and rushed over from Chang'an, the plague had already spread quite extensively.

But at this moment, a servant came to report: "To the king of Wei, there is an angel who claims to be Li Junxian, and came to announce the decree!"

"Li Junxian?!" Li Tai couldn't help but glanced at Baihe, but said with a smile, "It seems that Aye has arrived in Luoyang!"

Bai He also nodded obediently, and then looked at King Wei, but he couldn't help feeling bold about King Wei's choice.

They all knew that the saint would come soon, but they decided to go to Hanoi to deal with the plague!
Just wondering if the sage would blame King Wei, Bai He was more or less worried about Li Tai when he thought of this.

At this time, Li Tai went out to meet Li Junxian. After not seeing him for a few years, Li Tai felt that Li Junxian had become stronger again.

Li Junxian told Li Tai what Li Shimin meant, and let Li Tai take full responsibility for the plague.

Li Tai was not too polite, and immediately began to dispatch supplies and manpower after thanking him.

In terms of materials, Li Tai's reserves are actually quite sufficient. If there is any shortage, it is basically a problem with the way of distribution.

The real headache is manpower, because some people need to stay to take care of Zeyuan and Hanoi.

The manpower I brought to Zezhou was somewhat insufficient, so I decisively recruited Luoyang Agricultural University.

Soon, a group of students who were about to graduate were recruited by Li Tai, especially a woman who was dressed in a white medical uniform but gave off a bit of coldness attracted Li Tai's attention, because she was only 16 years old and had a really good figure. Very plump.

"Wu Mei?! Wu Shun's younger sister, the daughter of the samurai Xun!" Li Tai was a little stunned, "How did she get into an agricultural school!"

Li Tai looked at Wu Mei on the list, feeling extremely puzzled in his heart.

Wu Mei and Li Tai knew each other, more precisely because Yan Wan and Wu Shun were best friends, they naturally knew about Wu Mei and Li Tai.

The combination of the warrior Xun of the Wu family and the Yang family of the Yang family is a combination of a new nobleman and an old nobleman, and the purpose is to elevate the lintel of the Wu family.

It's just that what Li Tai didn't understand was that the descendants of the warrior Xun's family actually kicked out the Yang family, which was equivalent to smashing the lintel of the Wu family's family that the warrior Xun had finally raised up, and he smashed it down without hesitation.

After all, what kind of aristocratic family is the Hongnong Yang family, and your Wu family is just a nouveau riche, so what right do you have to despise the Yang family.

When Li Tai heard the news, he couldn't help complaining: "If you are capable, your family will give birth to a daughter called Wu Zetian, otherwise your family may not even be able to buy into the aristocratic family in the future."

But even so, Li Tai was a little surprised that Wu Mei would enter the Agricultural Academy.

Li Tai looked up Wu Mei's information a little bit, and found that Wu Mei entered a women's college, and she learned several subjects in the women's college very well.

After these years of continuous precipitation, especially the cultivation of the orphans who were abandoned at the beginning, the women's college has gradually become a relatively complete department.

Compared with boys, they have more or less different things to learn. It is said that among them, they have peach blossom faces, slim figures, and those who are talented in music are cultivated for talents in the music workshop. Among them, Lu Cai pays the most attention to this.

The other type is those who have excellent academic performance, especially those who can understand medical books, are trained to be female doctors, and they are temporarily named under Zhang Sui's name.

As for the remaining ordinary women who are neither beautiful nor outstanding in learning, they become Weaver Girls and belong to Peacock's management.

And Wu Mei finally entered the ranks of female doctors because of her excellent test scores.

To be honest, Lu Cai also competed with Zhang Sui for this reason, because Lu Cai felt that Wu Mei's talent in music and dance definitely had the potential to become a generation of masters.

But after knowing Wu Mei's ambitions and Wu Mei's identity, Lu Cai also gave up.

After all, the women who came out of the music workshop, even if they were not from music background, gave people a bad impression after all.

For a girl from an ordinary family, there might be a chance to fly on a branch and become a phoenix, but to a girl from an aristocratic family, that would be an insult.

As for female doctors, as medical camps become more and more popular, especially male doctors will be recruited by medical camps at any time, so it is becoming more and more common for female doctors to sit in the hall occasionally.

Secondly, it was Li Tai who came up with a tool like a stethoscope, at least when men and women were different, and the atmosphere was not open enough for male doctors to directly hold a stethoscope to listen to a woman's heartbeat.

The convenience of female doctors is once again reflected, which also further improves the status of female doctors.

Therefore, female musicians who also come out of women's colleges will be discriminated against unless they become everyone.

The Weaver Girl will be treated as an ordinary person. As for the female doctors, the common people will have a certain degree of respect when they look at them.

"Forget it, let her come here! Let's see if we can persuade her to go back!" Li Tai said to Bai He, pressing his temple.
