Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

No matter how.

Monk Dao Yan all knows that his dragon-slaying skills will never be used in this life!
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is gradually prospering, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

The major vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty all have better ways out than before, and no one dares to accept him!
Unless, he will go to sea with those feudal kings.

However, he doesn't know how to do it, and he can't get out!
Even leaving the capital is difficult!
Because, when he was in Prince Yan's Mansion, he could always feel that the Prince of Shunde was always staring at him.

It seems like you can know what he is thinking about all the time!
Ugh!
These days are pretty good!

Dao Yan sighed with some depression in his heart, then opened the book and accepted the order to take office!
And just as Guo An said, Monk Daoyan traveled around the world in his early years. He truly traveled thousands of miles and saw countless dirty and dark things.

By reading those letters of accusation, you can tell at a glance whether the content in the letter is true or false!

As for Jin Yiwei and those merchants, this is even more true.

A few days later, Zhu Gaochi came to the Shunde County Prince's Mansion with a relaxed expression!
"Teacher, I didn't expect that not only Master Daoyan and those Jinyi guards could see it right, but also those merchants.

Just by reading the letters of impeachment and prosecution of those literary figures, you can tell whether the letters are slander or are true! "

Guo An nodded slightly, but he was not too surprised: "It will be good if His Highness's problem is solved!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slowly, then thought of something, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Teacher, I misunderstood those merchants before. I thought they only talked, cheated, and bought and sold.

Unexpectedly, they are more able to endure hardships and endure aging than those royal guards! "

"Oh?"

Guo An couldn't help but be curious.

Zhu Gaochi said directly: "Teacher, when those merchants heard that they were going to review the complaint letters, they became very enthusiastic.

Faced with a room full of letters, they didn’t even take a break, and stayed up all night to review them…”

Guo An couldn't help but be stunned, "It's even more ruthless than Zero Zero Seven!"

"Zero Zero Seven?"

Zhu Gaochi was startled.

Guo An smiled softly and said, "Your Highness, I mean these merchants really do their duty!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded in agreement and continued: "What the teacher said is absolutely true. Each of these merchants is really dedicated to their duties, even more serious than Jin Yiwei!"

Guo Andao: "Your Highness, those merchants have been bullied by the gentry all their lives. Your Highness has given them the opportunity to review the dirty information and crimes of the gentry. They can't wait and cannot delay or neglect!"

"..."

Zhu Gaochi thought for a moment and couldn't help but agree with him.

"The teacher is absolutely right!"

Guo An asked curiously, "Your Highness, how many people have been found?"

Zhu Gaochi's face turned dark.

"Following the teacher's method, after more than twenty thieves were identified, more than thirty thieves jumped out and surrendered!"

"These people are so audacious!"

Guo An sighed helplessly and didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, these 'good names' spread throughout their local gentry and celebrities, and he had already heard enough of what dirty things they could do!

Speaking of this, Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth with hatred, "Fortunately, they have done all their evil deeds and were reported. Otherwise, it would be a shame for our Ming Dynasty to allow these thieves to compile the canon!"

Guo An said: "Your Highness needs to pay more attention to the remaining people. There may be even bigger thieves who are still hiding in the hope of luck!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, "Teacher, don't worry, I have arranged several gentry to investigate this matter!"

"That way, I feel relieved!"

"..."

In fact, Zhu Gaochi came here specifically this time just to complain to Guo An about the civil servants, gentry and celebrities, and also to talk about the novelty of those businessmen who stayed up all night to review letters.

As a result, after saying this, I suddenly felt nothing.

So, after chatting in detail again, they said goodbye and left.

After getting on the carriage, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but take another look at the Shunde County Prince's Mansion.

This teacher of mine is magical. He is indifferent by nature. Even talking to him can make a passionate matter seem dull.

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt that the carriage slowed down.

"Your Highness!"

A voice came in from outside the car window, and it was a little urgent.

"Have you found someone else?"

Zhu Gaochi said impatiently.

"Your Highness, it's not the Grand Ceremony, it's the Wenyuan Pavilion!" the chamberlain hurriedly replied.

"Ok?"

Zhu Gaochi was startled, "What big thing happened?"

The chamberlain said: "Back to Your Highness, the elders did not explain, but just asked you to go back as soon as possible!"

Zhu Gaochi said directly: "Go back to the palace quickly!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

As the guards outside the carriage responded, the carriage turned quickly and headed towards the palace.

at the same time.

A convoy of more than ten carriages also passed Fengyang Mansion and slowly headed towards the capital.

……

Wenyuan Pavilion.

As Zhu Gaochi came in, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed.

"I have met His Highness!"

"I have met His Highness..."

"You are all so anxious to find me here, but what happened?"

"Your Highness, something happened in Ningguo Mansion!"

Jie Jin stood up, bowed slightly to Zhu Gaochi, and at the same time took out a memorial and handed it to Zhu Gaochi.

"What happened?"

Zhu Gaochi took it and asked casually.

"Pox!"

Xie Jin said with some horror.

"what?"

Zhu Gaochi trembled and stared at Jie Jin closely, "How come there is a pox epidemic in Ningguo Mansion?"

Jie Jin smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Your Highness, please forgive me. This matter was reported to the Ningguo Mansion, and I don't know the specific reason!"

Zhu Gaochi opened the memorial directly and started reading.

Sure enough, in the memorial, the prefect of Ningguo Prefecture honestly wrote about the situation of the pox epidemic.

However, after reading the memorials for so many years, although the prefect of Ningguo Mansion wrote very honestly, he always felt that this matter was far from simple.

Otherwise, according to the temperament of the officials below, it is still so close to the end of the year and the assessment has begun, but they would dare to report the pox epidemic in such a hurry!

"Your Highness, Ningguo Mansion is too close to the capital!"

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi remained silent, Xie Jin continued: "Your Highness, if we don't tighten the blockade quickly, it is very likely that the pox epidemic will spread to the capital."

"Ok!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly.

Xie Jin said again: "Your Highness, in one month, Princess Xianning will marry the prince of Shunde County.

Now, a pox epidemic has appeared in Ningguo Mansion. If it is not handled properly, the wedding of Princess Xianning and the prince of Shunde County will inevitably be delayed! "

"This...that prefect is really a bastard!"

Zhu Gaochi was immediately furious. He finally knew why these ministers did not send the memorial to their father immediately when they saw it, but sent someone to inform him.

They don't dare!

"Go find your father alone!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Xie Jin, Huang Boqian and other cabinet ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

Later, after Zhu Gaochi left, several people could no longer bear it and cursed in low voices.

"That idiot Zuo Lutai, the prefect of Ningguo Prefecture, has been the prefect for two years. How can he still cause a pox epidemic in Ningguo Prefecture at this time?"

"Hmph, the Tongzhi and Tongpan of Ningguo Mansion, as well as all the county magistrates, are also idiots!"

"Yeah, why didn't the pox epidemic appear in other houses, but it turned out that their Ningguo house..."

The crowd just cursed angrily and did not do anything.

It's not that they don't want to do anything, it's that they don't have the ability.

They are cabinet ministers and can review memorials all day long.

However, their rights are just that.

..."My son, please see your father!"

On this side, Zhu Gaochi came to the Wenlou in a hurry.

"Ok?"

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi in surprise, "Didn't you go to the Shunde County Prince's Mansion today? Why did you return to the palace so quickly?"

"Father, something happened in Ningguo Mansion!"

Zhu Gaochi said directly.

Zhu Di frowned, "What happened to Ning Guo Mansion?"

Zhu Gaochi said: "There's a pox epidemic!"

"Pox epidemic?"

Zhu Di was stunned.

"what is going on?"

"Father, this is the memorial handed over by Zuo Lutai, the magistrate of Ningguo Prefecture!"

Zhu Gaochi quickly presented the memorial to Zhu Di and told the story at the same time.

"A pox epidemic actually appeared in Ningguo Mansion. By the time the prefect Zuo Lutai discovered it, hundreds of people had already been infected?"

After reading the memorial, Zhu Di's face turned gloomy.

Zhu Gaochi said bitterly, "Father, all those officials in the Ningguo Mansion are responsible for dereliction of duty!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and shouted directly to Yishiha on the side: "Inform Wang Zhen, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and then the Prince of Shunde and the good doctor Han Shi!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yi Shiha quickly retreated.

Zhu Gaochi continued: "Father, there is a pox epidemic in the Ningguo Mansion, and it should be impossible to control it with the guards and teachers alone.

If it is not handled well, it will spread to the capital within a few days.

Such a big pox epidemic will inevitably affect Xianning and Guo Shen's wedding!

I beseech my father to summon the Ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of War, and the Governor-General of the Fifth Army to send out a large army..."

"No need!"

Zhu Di waved his hand directly, with a nonchalant look on his face.

"Father?"

Zhu Gaochi was anxious, and then he seemed to have discovered something, and he couldn't help but look confused.

"Father doesn't seem to have any concerns about this matter?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Zhu Gaochi said hurriedly: "Father, that is a pox epidemic. Once you are infected, there is no cure!"

"I know!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly.

Zhu Gaochi was even more tempted, "Then Father..."

Zhu Di asked quietly: "Prince, have you heard before that Han Shi developed a drug that can prevent and treat acne?"

"Doctor Han Liang?"

Zhu Gaochi's expression changed, "Back to my father, my son and I have heard a little bit about this matter.

However, from ancient times to the present, countless doctors throughout the dynasties have diagnosed and treated pox, but no one has ever been able to truly treat pox. "

Zhu Di continued: "All the men in the Shunde County Prince's Mansion have taken that medicine, do you know?"

"what?"

Zhu Gaochi was shocked again, "Dad, teacher, has anyone in your family been infected with the pox?"

Zhu Di was startled and couldn't help but glare at Zhu Gaochi.

"Nonsense, Shunde County Prince's Palace is fine, how could he be infected with pox?"

"What does the father mean?"

Zhu Gaochi chuckled and asked quickly.

Zhu Di said: "Of course it is to prevent the pox epidemic!"

"prevention?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned again.

Zhu Di said: "As long as you plant that medicine, you won't be infected with smallpox even if you encounter smallpox in the future!"

"How can this be?"

Zhu Gaochi's face was full of doubts, "Father, are you..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi realized that that seemed to be his teacher.

And that teacher seemed to have never lied to them once!
"Father, how could there be such a magical medicine in the world?"

Zhu Di glanced sideways at Zhu Gaochi, remembered the true appearance of the magic medicine, and said softly: "It's not a magic medicine! It's just a pox disease!"

"Pox?"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened instantly, "Father, are you saying that all the men in the Shunde County Prince's Palace have contracted that pox disease?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly again.

Zhu Gaochi's face was full of disbelief, "Father, nothing happened to anyone?"

Zhu Di asked: "You also went to the Shunde County Prince's Mansion. Did you see that something happened to someone? Or, did you see something happened to the Shunde County Prince and his son?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head directly, "Back to my father, there really isn't one!"

Zhu Di asked again: "Have you heard that some of Han Shi and others were infected with smallpox?"

"no!"

Zhu Gaochi continued to shake his head.

Zhu Di's eyes immediately lit up, "This proves that the medicine developed by Han Xi can really prevent and treat smallpox. Apart from some pain when taking it, there are no sequelae!"

"In this way, the people of our Ming Dynasty will be blessed!"

Zhu Gaochi was immediately overjoyed.

"Yes!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly with joy on his face, "With the medicine that can treat smallpox, our Ming Dynasty can burn at least tens of thousands of people to death every year, and can also save the court hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!"

"What Father said is absolutely true!"

"So, if Han Shi can cure the smallpox epidemic in Ningguo Mansion this time, we want to knight him!

Prince, what do you think? "

"Father Emperor Shengming!"

Zhu Gaochi agreed directly.

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and said nothing more.

After a while.

Wang Zhen took the lead in arriving at Wenlou.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty, and to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Get up!"

Zhu Di waved his hand and asked: "There is a smallpox epidemic in Ningguo Mansion. Does your Jin Yiwei know about this?"

Wang Zhen quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the people below just sent this news!

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and asked: "How many people in Ningguo Mansion are infected with pox now?"

Wang Zhen said: "Back to Your Majesty, the news I got is that there are one hundred and thirty-one households!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly again, and the gap between the number of people sent by Ning Guo Mansion was not too big.

Wang Zhen continued: "Your Majesty, the people below reported that the pox epidemic in Ningguo Mansion spread very quickly, and it is only the second day now."

"The next day?"

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were both shocked.

"Exactly!"

Wang Zhen nodded again.

Zhu Di said: "Fortunately, Han Shi and others have developed a medicine to treat acne!"

"Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and God is also blessing the Ming Dynasty!"

Wang Zhen flattered with a serious look.
