Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 154 Questioned
Plague is not an incurable disease. The key point is that the disease comes quickly, but Chinese medicine cures it slowly, and the patient is transmitted from person to person.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, the flow of people in and out of the capital is already dense, such as people purchasing, doing business, returning to Beijing for the New Year, and so on.

All the beggars who were found died on the street. Who knows how long he was sick, how long he wandered around the city with the disease, and how many people he infected.

Moreover, there are still many refugees living in the abandoned Taoist temple outside the city. How to deal with these people is still a problem.

The so-called good things do not go out, and bad things travel thousands of miles.

Once the plague was discovered, everyone from the concubines to the common people knew about it.

In the East Palace, the Crown Princess immediately invited the imperial physician to examine the slaves who were in charge of shopping.

It is not enough to confirm that there is no disease. Chinese medicines such as wormwood have been distributed everywhere in the palace, or the houses are burned to prevent plague, or boiled water is sprinkled in the houses, and there are prepared medicinal materials. The maids in the village make sachets, tie them in the house and wear them on their bodies.

The new year is coming soon, the drought in the north has not yet been resolved, and the plague is raging in the capital again. At this time, there must be no accidents, otherwise this year will not be good.

Inside Bi Luo Zhai.

Qing Rong, Yan Wei and Yuan He entered the house together.

Fang Yun spoke in a low voice after they each reported the epidemic prevention arrangements they had made today.

"There are children in our courtyard, we must be more careful than other places, and we must not let the second girl get sick, so except Kaisu smoked moxa, sprinkled moxa water, and wore sachets, everyone went in and out of Biluo Zhai, Everyone must wash their hands with wormwood water, especially when entering the second girl's room, no matter who it is, even me, they must wash their hands before they are allowed to enter."

Yuan He was in charge of taking care of the second girl, so he nodded and answered.

"Don't worry Liang Di, the slave will remember it. In addition, the slave also listened to Madam Yu's suggestion and said to boil the dishes and other things that the girl uses every day before using them."

Now the second girl has been more than six months old, and she has been prescribed meat meat according to the doctor's orders. She usually feeds a small amount of egg custard and other foods, so I use these.

Fang Yun nodded, "Just do what Nanny Yu said, the more cautious the better."

After speaking, and after explaining a few other things, he sent Yan Wei and Yuan He out, leaving Qing Rong to wait on him.

"During this period of time, you should not go out of the house for the time being, to inquire about news or something, take it easy, if you get infected with the plague, the loss outweighs the gain." Fang Jun said.

Qingrong nodded, her expression tightened, "I don't know how the eldest prince went north to relieve the disaster, and even spread the plague to the capital!"

Now she is not the only one who has this idea, and many people in the capital have begun to have doubts about the effectiveness of the first prince's northward rescue.

The people under Pei Yao are not vegetarian either.

From the performances by officials in the court to the rumors in the market, they are very prosperous now.

Now the eldest prince can be regarded as being questioned.

Prime Minister Li and the Queen's father and daughter were both angry and worried, unable to eat.

Just as they were thinking about countermeasures, they began to talk about how when Pei Yao was 17 years old, he single-handedly dealt with the snow disaster in Kyoto and helped the victims.

Now that the eldest prince who went to the north is already 25 years old, he can't handle this matter well. Compared with Pei Yao back then, he is even worse.

For a while, the common people in the capital did not have a good opinion of the Eldest Prince, so naturally, it seemed that Pei Yao was very capable.

Prime Minister Li sent someone to find a way to help the eldest prince restore his reputation, while preparing to write a letter to the eldest prince.

But before that, the first prince's letter was sent back to the capital secretly.

The content is what the second prince said, that Pei Yao is suspected of taking advantage of his position to embezzle the disaster relief money allocated by the household department.

Seeing this news, Prime Minister Li's eyes were worth it.

Check, check quickly.

If this happened, why not just pinch Pei Yao's neck!
As for what the eldest prince mentioned, taking advantage of the opportunity to make money, and then deducting a sum from Pei Yao's head, this matter will have to wait until Pei Yao is found to be corrupt before making a conclusion.

But before that, Prime Minister Li wrote back to inform the eldest prince of the current situation in Kyoto, reminding him that it was time to show off his disaster relief results.

In the north, although the First Prince didn't do much by himself, the Second Prince worked very hard, so the disaster relief has already shown results.

Writing a booklet, there is content to write, but the eldest prince still decided to come out and put on a show.

But when they came out, they found that the people outside seemed to be very clear that the person who comforted them every day was the second prince, so they didn't pay much attention to him, the eldest prince who came out of nowhere.

The first prince wandered around the place where the grain and porridge were put out for three days, and felt that it was not interesting, so he handed over the work to the second prince, and he began to connect with the local area.

That's right, what the common people think, who they are grateful for, who they saw working, all of which cannot be conveyed to Emperor Chengjing, or even to the capital. Only the notes of local officials can be passed up, right?
Fighting against Pei Yao for so many years, the eldest prince still has some basic awareness.

It's not enough for him to ask for credit, he has to be praised by others, so that it can better reflect his hard work.

The First Prince and Prime Minister Li were busy with each other, but in comparison, Pei Yao obviously rested a lot.

It has been some time since the distribution of food for disaster relief, the first prince has already reported almost all the disasters in various places, and all the money and food that should be distributed have been distributed.

If there are more details, if you want to make up, you have to wait for the news.

So Pei Yao has basically finished his work and can take a rest.

Last time I went back to see Fang Yun, I was busy with official business, so I didn't stay any longer. After coming back from the yamen this afternoon, I changed into my normal clothes and went to Biluozhai.

In Wutong Garden.

After hearing that Pei Yao came back, the princess went to Biluozhai, but she didn't say anything.

Just to say, it is normal for Biluozhai to have a young second girl.

In the heart of the princess, she was more reluctant to see Pei Yao go to Weiyang Pavilion than Biluozhai.

After all, Concubine Yang is much more threatening to her than Fang Jun.

Seeing that the Crown Princess really didn't mind, the maids who were waiting on the side didn't say anything.

On Biluozhai's side, Fang Yun saw Pei Yao coming, and after pulling him into the house, he untied the cloak outside, and murmured.

"Why did Your Highness come to this concubine first? His Highness is busy these days, and when he is free, he should go to see the Crown Princess first."

"Why, don't you like to be alone?" Pei Yao smiled.

Fang Yun hung up the cloak, then led him into the house, and waited for him to wash his hands with hot wormwood water.

"Why don't I like it? I wish I could see His Highness every day, but the rules can't be broken. The princess and concubine are virtuous. During this period of time, there is plague, and the empress is also working very hard to manage common affairs."

"Gu knows, I came to see you today, and tomorrow I will go to the Crown Princess."

Pei Yao wiped his hands with a smile, took her by the hand, and asked another question.

"Is the child okay these days?"

"Everything is fine."

Fang Yun smiled, let him hold hands, and sat down on the couch by the window.

　Dragon Boat Festival, everyone is on holiday, so let me take a little rest (cheek-skinned), work harder tomorrow, I love you guys~
