Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 266 Secret
Fortunately, Li Jiye was self-aware and knew that he was not hunting material. Moreover, Li Qingnu and his subordinates tried their best to stop him, so they had to hold Li Jiye's feet and beg...

In the end, Li Jiye did not go with him.

... It was said that Zhu Xiuyuan and his party entered the depths of the dense forest. Zhu Xiuyuan only told Yan Dashan to go hunting, took bows and arrows, led a few people, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Dong Shuzhen was also about to go, but he held her tightly and shouted: "Madam, don't go."

Dong Shuzhen was very surprised, her big eyes flashed, and she asked curiously: "Husband, are you not..."

……

After returning from hunting, without time to rest, Zhu Xiuyuan joined the team that slaughtered the prey.

He actually doesn't do it himself, he just directs from the side.

Then, Zhu Xiuyuan showed the old beggar how to make "beggar's chicken"...

Anyway, until the picnic started, Li Jiye didn't find a chance to ask him questions. He was a little tired, but his ears were finally clear.

……

On the way back in the afternoon, and after returning, Zhu Xiuyuan naturally could not escape Li Jiye's "bombardment of asking for advice."

Zhu Xiuyuan had no choice but to answer Li Jiye's questions patiently.

In the evening, after dinner.

Because Li Jiye needed to deal with some problems, he let go of Zhu Xiuyuan.

However, before Zhu Xiuyuan had time to relax, at Jiangzhou Pier today, the young eunuch who read Chen Huang's oral instructions came again.

"My father-in-law found me at this time. I wonder if there is something urgent?"

The little eunuch waved the dust with a smile on his face.

"Lord Zhu Sima, there is indeed something very important. Your Majesty has ordered that you can tell Lord Zhu Sima only when there are no outsiders."

"It's just that today, I wish Lord Sima will always be inseparable from King Qian of the Liang Kingdom. Our family has only found the opportunity now."

"Oh?" Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised and asked hurriedly: "I wonder if your Majesty has anything else to explain? My father-in-law just said it doesn't matter."

The young eunuch looked around and saw no one else, so he lowered his voice and said, "I wish you all the best, Sir Sima. This envoy from Liang State is on an envoy to Chen State. In addition to urging tribute, he actually has one more thing to do."

"The envoy from the State of Liang wants to know the formulas of various medicinal materials for the prevention and control of the plague, such as prescriptions for treating the plague, prescriptions for washing clothes, prescriptions for normal people to drink, etc."

"After discussing with the ministers of the DPRK, His Majesty decided that since the method of preventing and treating the plague was pioneered by Master Zhu Sima, it is up to Master Zhu Sima to decide whether to inform the Liang envoys about the prescriptions."

"This..." Zhu Xiuyuan fell into a daze after hearing this.

This thing is... not very reasonable.

In fact, the various methods of preventing and controlling the plague have long been spread throughout the world and are known to almost everyone.

I just don’t know the principle and how the various prescriptions are combined.

Li Jiye, the king of Liang Guoqian, must have heard about various methods and means of plague prevention and control. He was also pestering Zhu Xiuyuan for advice, trying to understand the principles.

It's just that the compatibility of various prescriptions... was indeed regarded as a secret by the Chen Kingdom's court. No one except Zhu Xiuyuan, Divine Doctor Zhang, and the court knew about it.

Li Jiye wanted to get the formula, so he took advantage of the opportunity of his mission to Chen to ask the Chen court for it, which was naturally the most correct thing to do.However, the Chen Kingdom's court was so weird that it put such a difficult problem on Zhu Xiuyuan's head and let him decide.

The more Zhu Xiuyuan thought about it, the more it seemed like a conspiracy.

"Blessings to Lord Sima? Blessings to Lord Sima?" Seeing Zhu Xiuyuan sluggish, the little eunuch couldn't help but remind him.

"Um……"

Zhu Xiuyuan recovered from his sluggishness and asked: "May I ask my father-in-law, what are the thoughts of the princes of the court and your majesty? Why do you let lower officials make the decision on such an important decision?"

"Although this method of preventing and controlling the plague was pioneered by a low-ranking official, he is a low-ranking official. He is just a Sima of a local government office!"

The little eunuch smiled and said: "My lord Sima, now you are not just a Sima of the local government, you are also the official appointed by His Majesty to be in charge of the reception of envoys from the Liang Kingdom. Could it be that your lord has forgotten?"

"This……"

Zhu Xiuyuan was speechless.

The little eunuch's reason seems to be reasonable. Now he is indeed no longer just a yamen Sima!

The little eunuch smiled again and said: "Master Sima, we understand what you are worried about. Haha, Master Sima, don't worry. The official who is 'temporarily in charge of the reception of the envoys of the Liang Kingdom' is Yang Tingyu and Lao Yang recommended, so Yang Tingyu Yang Lao Ding will speak for you. No matter what decision Lord Sima makes, we believe that neither the court nor His Majesty will blame Lord Sima."

Zhu Xiuyuan was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will make the most reasonable decision to satisfy the court, your Majesty, and the Liang envoy!"

"With Lord Sima's words, Your Majesty will feel relieved. Haha, Lord Sima, then our family will just wait for the good news."

...The little eunuch left, and not long after, Li Jiye returned.

While Zhu Xiuyuan was explaining various knowledge points to Li Jiye, his head was also turning rapidly, brainstorming and thinking hard. How should it be operated to satisfy all three parties?

For the Liang envoys, they naturally hoped to obtain various formulas for the prevention and treatment of plague.

For the imperial court and His Majesty, it would be a disgrace to give up the formula.

If you don't give it, you will be in a dilemma because you are afraid that Liang Guo's troops will be strong...

They had a good idea and actually threw such a difficult problem to Zhu Xiuyuan!
After chatting until late at night, Li Jiye finally felt sleepy, so he said goodbye and went back to rest.

Li Jiye didn't mention the prescription for plague prevention and control. Zhu Xiuyuan thought to himself: "Li Jiye will stay in Jiangzhou for several days. I'm afraid he will ask about it as soon as tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. How should I answer it by then?" ?”

Zhu Xiuyuan thought about the problem in his mind and walked to his father-in-law's study.

Dong Cheng usually rested relatively late. Especially after he became the governor of Jiangzhou, Dong Cheng often stayed up late, reading official documents, or closing his eyes and meditating until very late before going back to his room to sleep.

But the strange thing is that Dong Cheng didn't feel any tiredness after staying up so late. Instead, he became more and more energetic and younger...

Zhu Xiuyuan thought that this was probably because he had power.

However, after Zhu Xiuyuan told Dong Cheng about the matter, Dong Cheng thought for a long time and couldn't find a good way...

Zhu Xiuyuan then bid farewell to Dong Cheng and returned to the east courtyard to prepare for rest.

When Zhu Xiuyuan stepped through the hanging flower door and entered the east courtyard, he found that the entire east courtyard was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

Lanterns were lit all along the courtyard, the door to the small living room was open, and the candlesticks were filled with candles, all lit!
The strange thing is that Zhu Xiuyuan walked from the hanging flower door to the door of the small living room, and then walked around the small living room, looking around and looking around, but he didn't see a single figure.
