The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 319 Royal Medical Department

Wei Ning issued an edict to set up a separate Imperial Medical Office outside the East Palace.

With the intensive cooperation of Shaofu Lu Chongguo, it took only a few days to build an official office outside the East Palace that was independent of the three ministers and nine ministers.

As the crown prince of the East Palace, Weining ordered doctors from all over the country to be recruited into the court as officials.

The Prime Minister's Office cooperated with Weining to determine the official salary levels of the Imperial Medical Office, and issued government orders across the country to recruit private doctors into the court.

In the past two days, Bashang County was still undergoing post-disaster reconstruction. Compared with Zhao State's Handan, the post-disaster construction in Bashang County was simpler. Zhuang Qingzhai guided the work in Bashang for three days before returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chang'an.

The imperial court allocated 1 million yuan to Bashang's finance and 50,000 dan for food.

The government and the people asked Zhuang Qingzhai to bring a letter of gratitude to the people. Zhuang Qingzhai handed it over to the crown prince Wei Ning. For a while, all the officials in the court were in awe of Wei Ning.

The situation in Handan is not good.

When Wei Qing arrived here, he looked at the town that was riddled with holes. Under the ruins, all the people were crying in despair.

A good city was almost destroyed due to this huge earthquake, and most of the houses had collapsed. Wei Qing led the officials to meet with King Zhao Liu Pengzu.

Liu Pengzu was so frightened that he fell silent, but fortunately Wei Qing did not seem to be here to hold him accountable. He also restrained his violent temper and cooperated with Wei Qing in participating in disaster relief work.

Liu Pengzu asked his officials to estimate the financial situation needed for reconstruction. The court needed to allocate at least five million yuan and three hundred thousand shi of food.

What he reported to Wei Qing was 8 million yuan and 500,000 shi of grain.

Wei Qing was noncommittal, neither agreed nor refused. Although Wei Qing was a military commander, he was still a prime minister and had his own understanding of political affairs and money and food. The money was undoubtedly too much. As for Liu Pengzu's purpose, he did not speculate. The court could not allocate it. Allocating funds is a later matter, but participating in disaster relief is the business.

The residence of Prince Zhao Dan.

After the imperial court implemented the decree two years ago, Liu Dan lost the advantage of his eldest son. Now Liu Pengzu's descendants are eligible to inherit the fiefdom and wealth. However, Liu Pengzu is not dead yet, and these descendants are still quite honest.

But this does not include Prince Zhao Liu Dan.

"His Royal Highness."

An official at Liu Dan's residence found Liu Dan and said, "Jiang Dianke took his sister to escape."

Liu Dan squinted his eyes and said, "Just run away."

The subordinate officer reminded Liu Dan: "Prime Minister Wei has come to Handan."

Liu Dan said suspiciously: "What?"

The official said: "Will Jiang Qi go to Prime Minister Wei to report you?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Dan trembled all over!

Jiang Qi was from Handan, and he married his sister to Prince Dan of Zhao. However, Prince Dan of Zhao had a violent personality and often beat Jiang Qi's sister, which made Jiang Qi resentful over time.

Jiang Qi had known for a long time that Prince Zhao Dan was having an affair with his sister. If he escaped at this time, if he reported it to Wei Qing, this crime of incest and adultery would be enough to kill Liu Dan.

Liu Dan looked fierce and said sternly: "Send people out! Kill Jiang Qi! Kill Jiang Qi no matter what! Quick!"

"Here!"

……

On the official road outside Handan.

A man was holding a girl on his arm, walking unkempt.

The man is Jiang Qi, a native of Handan, who is proficient in medical skills.

The girl was his younger sister, who was supposed to be Princess Zhao. She couldn't bear the humiliation, so she followed her elder brother and took advantage of the earthquake to escape Handan.

If it were normal, they would have no chance, because Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu's control over the Zhao Kingdom was so abnormal that even mosquitoes would not be able to fly out of the Zhao Kingdom at will.

"Brother, where should we go now?"

Jiang Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "Go to Chang'an!" "The prince of the Han Dynasty is offering a reward for people who are proficient in medicine from all over the country to come to the capital. With my knowledge in medicine, I will definitely be able to become an official in the Imperial Medical Office."

"Liu Dan will definitely hunt me down along the way. From now on, I will change my name to Jiang Chong!"

"When I go to Chang'an, Prince Zhao Liu Dan will die!"

He has a ruthless personality, will retaliate, and has a low temper. Even if the other person is Prince Zhao, he will not take it seriously and will try his best to kill him!

On the official road, Jiang Chong happened to see a group of convoys heading towards Handan.

Judging from this specification, it should be a team of envoys from the imperial court.

Jiang Chong was about to leave. He didn't intend to cause trouble. Arriving safely in Chang'an would be more secure for him and his sister.

But Jiang Chong suddenly discovered that many men were pouring out from the direction of Handan City.

He suddenly had an ominous premonition that these men might not be Prince Zhao Liu Dan coming to hunt him down.

He took a bite and immediately changed his mind, stopped the convoy, knelt on the official road in front of the convoy, kowtowed and said: "Please make the decision for me!"

Zhang Tang looked at the man kneeling in front of him suspiciously. Since the man was an official, how could he be regarded as an official from Handan?

He was silent for a moment and said to Jiang Chong: "Get up and talk."

Jiang Chong said hurriedly: "Sir, there are people from Handan ahead who are chasing Xiaguan."

Zhang Tang snorted and said indifferently: "Get on the carriage and let's talk."

Jiang Chong felt like he was being pardoned and hurriedly took his sister into the carriage.

Zhang Tang looked at him expressionlessly. After briefly introducing himself, he said to Jiang Chong: "I have important matters to attend to. If you have anything to say, please tell me. If nothing happens, get off the carriage."

As for the other party's life or death, Zhang Tang never cared.

The order given to him by the crown prince was to investigate Liu Pengzu. Zhang Tang did not take the life and death of other people into consideration.

Jiang Chong hurriedly introduced himself, and then explained Liu Dan's crime of incest.

Zhang Tang glanced at him and said, "Please get off the carriage."

He is here to investigate Liu Pengzu. You can go to Chang'an to discuss Liu Dan's charges yourself. He has no time to deal with these, and this should not be a trivial matter that he, a superior imperial censor, should deal with.

There will be low-level officials at Yushitai to investigate these matters, and he will not lower his status to investigate these boring things.

Jiang Chong said hurriedly: "Master Zhang! I'm the official, I still have something to say."

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister Sang Zhiyu of the State of Zhao was killed by Liu Pengzu."

"Xiaguan and Prime Minister Sang have a good relationship. When the imperial court issued an order to prevent the earth dragon from turning around, Prime Minister Sang went to find King Zhao."

"The King of Zhao turned a deaf ear to Sang Xiang's words, and he thought Sang Xiang was too verbose, so he killed Sang Xiang."

"Since then, the king has not paid any attention to the words of the court. He only cares about his own pleasures in the palace and does not care about the life and death of the people."

"Over the years, the people of Handan City have been living in dire straits. If King Zhao doesn't get his way, he will kill people and officials. The entire Zhao Kingdom only knows King Zhao but not the Emperor of Han..."

Jiang Chong told everything in one go. Zhang Tang slowly narrowed his eyes, looked at Jiang Chong indifferently, and said, "Is there any evidence?"

"Without evidence, slandering the king of a country is enough for you to die without a burial place."

Jiang Chong said: "Yes!"

"Sang Xiang left a lot of evidence of King Zhao's cruelty and cruelty to the subordinates. None of these letters could leave Handan. If it hadn't been for the earth dragon to turn around this time, no news would have been spread out in Handan. It's all because King Zhao has too strong control. Please, sir. Mingjian.”

Zhang Tang took a deep breath, then patted Jiang Chong on the shoulder and said, "You have made a meritorious service."

"Enter the city!" Zhang Tang shouted sternly to the carriage convoy!
