Qin Luoheng stood tall and said, "You can talk now."
Ying Teng said: "I inquired earlier. Your Majesty only summoned General Yang Wengzi today. Yang Wengzi has been stationed in Lingnan in the past few months. The reason why he rushed back to Xianyang this time was to find out about Baiyue in Lingnan.
Come back in a hurry."
"The malaria your Majesty contracted may have come from this."
"Lingnan?" Qin Luoheng frowned.
He did not doubt that malaria occurred in Lingnan. Today's Lingnan is not a livable place for future generations. Historically, it was difficult for the Qin Dynasty to occupy Lingnan because the climate in Lingnan was too harsh and there were many diseases. Most of the soldiers who fell here were not dead.
war, but died from plague and disease.
Qin Luoheng said: "So it seems that Yang Wengzi is also infected with malaria?"
Ying Teng shook his head and said: "This is not clear at the moment, but according to the eunuch who was in the palace at the time, Yang Wengzi did have an occasional cough when he met with His Majesty. I am afraid that he was indeed infected with malaria."
Speaking of which.
There was also a flash of coldness in Ying Teng's eyes.
Even if Yang Wengzi got sick himself, he went to see His Majesty anxiously. It was hard not to think that Yang Wengzi had no evil intentions.
Qin Luoheng did not consider this.
At present, the First Emperor is infected with malaria, and Yang Wengzi is also infected with malaria. If nothing unexpected happens, Yang Wengzi may come into contact with many people along the way. Anyone who is slightly in poor health is at risk of being infected. Fortunately, malaria is contagious
Sex, relatively speaking, is not that intense.
And Yang Wengzi came back from Lingnan.
Considering the hot and high temperature conditions in Lingnan, I am afraid that it is the source of infection for this plague. It takes several days to travel from Lingnan to Xianyang. Yang Wengzi is a general. Logically speaking, there is not that big chance of infection, but now he is infected.
I'm just afraid...
The Lingnan plague has reached scale!
At present, the plague in Lingnan has not yet been clarified, but when it does come and the court responds, I am afraid that many people will be infected, and the casualties will be heavy.
This is what Qin Luoheng doesn't want to see.
In this era, plague is regarded as a tiger. Once you get it, you will either wait to die or be directly executed by the government on the spot to avoid infection. Most of the soldiers in Lingnan are from Guanzhong. If there is a large-scale plague outbreak in Lingnan, there will be people in the Guanzhong area.
Jiaxinsu.
This was a huge blow to Da Qin!
It will also shake the morale of the military.
Qin Luoheng said in a deep voice: "A plague may have broken out in Lingnan, and the court needs to make a decision quickly. We will write down the identification method of Artemisia annua on bamboo slips, and Zongzheng will hand it over to the court so that the court can treat it as soon as possible.
When the method is spread to Lingnan, we must try our best to prevent the further spread of the plague."
"In addition, let the imperial court come forward and summon some doctors to Lingnan to rescue the sick soldiers as much as possible. These soldiers are all soldiers of the Qin Dynasty in hundreds of battles. If they are lost to the plague, it will be a huge loss."
A strange color appeared in Ying Teng's eyes.
However, he did not expect that in the face of this situation, Qin Luoheng could still remain rational, not affected by the outside world at all, and still have the world in mind.
This kind of sanity is rare.
Ying Teng nodded and said: "Okay, just go ahead and write it, and I will send someone to deliver it to the Prime Minister's Mansion later."
Qin Luoheng nodded slightly, went to the study, took up a pen and started writing quickly. There is no room for carelessness or delay in dealing with the plague. Time is life. In the face of the plague, this sentence is extremely true.
After finishing writing.
Qin Luoheng handed it over directly to Ying Teng.
Ying Teng did not delay and sent someone directly to deliver the memorial.
Qin Luoheng stood in the courtyard, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "The imperial doctor ordered me to trouble you to go to General Yang Wengzi's house later and send Artemisia annua to treat malaria. I believe General Yang Wengzi did not mean it. If he
If he knew he was infected with malaria, he would never go to see the First Emperor."
"The First Emperor's illness was purely an accident."
There was a hint of hesitation in Xia Wuji's eyes.
He actually didn't think Yang Wengzi did it intentionally. After all, malaria was incurable in the past. Even if Yang Wengzi wanted to plot against the First Emperor, there was no need to plot against himself.
But this time, after all, the First Emperor is involved. If Qin Luoheng had not found a cure, the First Emperor might really be in danger. Even if the First Emperor could turn the corner this time, Yang Wengzi might not be able to escape the blame. The First Emperor is still unconscious.
, it seems a little inappropriate for him to deliver medicine to Yang Wengzi.
Qin Luoheng naturally saw Xia Wuji's hesitation.
He opened his mouth and said:
"The imperial physician orders you not to worry."
"If the First Emperor is to blame, I will bear the blame alone."
"The environment in Lingnan is already difficult. General Yang Wengzi has been stationed in Lingnan for so long and has no merit but hard work. Why can he ignore death? Even if the First Emperor does convict him in the future, he should be convicting a living person and should not blame a dead person.
!”
Xia Wuji hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Qin Luoheng added: "Bring more and ask General Yang Wengzi to distribute these herbs to the accompanying soldiers. Even if the soldiers of Great Qin die, they should die on the battlefield, not on the bed."
Xia Wuji's heart was trembling.
He said in a deep voice:
"I see."
"I'll send it over right away."
Finished.
Xia Wuji took some herbs and left in a hurry.
In the courtyard, only Qin Luoheng and Ying Teng remained.
Looking at Qin Luoheng's orderly arrangements, Ying Teng's eyes showed a hint of relief. He had never seen Qin Luoheng before, but had only heard some rumors about Qin Luoheng, but when he actually saw him today, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Bright.
Qin Luoheng is not as experienced as Fu Su in his actions, but he is more responsible than Fu Su, and he does things vigorously and resolutely, without any sloppiness, and is more pragmatic.
Qin Luoheng didn't notice Ying Teng.
His current thoughts were on the First Emperor's illness.
Qin Luoheng bowed to Zongzheng and asked slowly: "May I ask Zongzheng, have you informed other courtiers about the First Emperor's illness?"
Ying Teng shook his head.
He said in a deep voice:
"Of course not."
"Your Majesty's illness affects the stability of the world, how can you let it out so easily?"
Finished.
Ying Teng seemed to have remembered something, a gloom flashed in his eyes, and continued: "However, when His Majesty felt unwell, he summoned Xia Wuji, but Hu Hai somehow heard the news, but this matter was limited to the palace, other
The courtiers probably don’t know.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qin Luoheng shook his head.
He said in a deep voice:
"You can't take any chances."
"Since someone has leaked it to Mr. Hu Hai, it will also be leaked to others if the protection is not complete. When the First Emperor is ill, it will affect the stability of the Qin Dynasty. We cannot take anything lightly. If it is leaked and the court fails to respond in time, Xianyang may have trouble.
Less chaos."
"Xianyang is the capital of the Qin Dynasty. Once chaos breaks out, once the news gets out, it will definitely cause an uproar in the world, so it must be dealt with carefully."
"What do you think should be done?" Ying Teng asked.
Qin Luoheng pondered for a moment.
He said slowly:
"The First Emperor's illness needs to be reported to the two prime ministers Li Si and Feng Quji, so that the prime minister's office can handle the world's political affairs. At the same time, all officials should be strictly ordered to perform their duties. As long as the court is not in chaos, Xianyang will basically not be in chaos.
"
"In addition, inform Lang Zhongling to mobilize troops and horses in case someone in the city deliberately causes trouble."
"The outside world is not aware of the illness of the First Emperor for the time being, so we can adopt a governance method of loosening up the outside and tightening inside. If the outside world knows about it, we will directly adopt high-pressure management. We must kill those rumors and prophecies in the city and never let them escape.
.”
Ying Teng shook his head.
He said in a deep voice:
"What you are talking about can only be spoken by Your Majesty. Others say it is useless. I can at most pass the message to Li Si and Feng Quji, and if you want to mobilize soldiers, you must have military symbols. Although I am the Zongzheng of the Qin Dynasty, I am not the official
There is no right to mobilize troops."
"The only soldiers who can be mobilized in the city are the city guards under Neishi's rule."
"The soldiers ordered by the doctor cannot move."
Qin Luoheng frowned.
He had actually forgotten about this incident.
The Qin Dynasty had very strict control over military power. Without military talismans, the soldiers could not be mobilized. The army had always only recognized military talismans and not its generals. Now that the First Emperor had passed out, it was obviously impossible for him to open his mouth and take out the military talismans.
.
Qin Luoheng said:
"Then let's mobilize the guards in the city."
"Maybe I'm just too worried."
Qin Luoheng did not think that his worries were unnecessary.
If the emperor is ill, there will inevitably be a problem with Xiaoxiao.
The current situation of the Qin Dynasty is very complicated. The main reason why the Qin Dynasty remains standing is because of the First Emperor. If the news of the First Emperor's illness spreads, there will be a lot of chaos in the world. Maybe the court can calm it down in the short term, but once
If there is too much chaos, the court will easily focus on one thing and not the other. In time, a small chaos will lead to a big disaster.
but.
He did not think there was a problem with the First Emperor's conquest of military power.
Military power must be concentrated at the top.
Otherwise, once there is a problem with military power, local separatism will easily occur. Da Qin came out of an era when there were many princes, so how could it be willing to go back to the old path? Moreover, all the systems of Da Qin serve the emperor.
Therefore, nothing can happen to the emperor.
But at this moment, something happened to the emperor.
Everything becomes tricky.
Ying Teng hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Even if I tell Li Si what you suggested, Li Si might not dare to do anything. He should come to you as soon as possible to ask for an audience with His Majesty. He wants to implement the suggestions you said.
Your Majesty must relent."
"At least there must be an edict!"
Qin Luoheng nodded.
He was also at his wits end.
Now all he can do is pray that the First Emperor wakes up soon, otherwise there will really be trouble in the city. When trouble does happen, it will obviously be too late to deal with it according to the law. This will undoubtedly encourage others.
of alienation.
Qin Luoheng sighed softly and entered the lobby again.
Ying Teng stood in the courtyard for a while, and decided to tell Li Si about Qin Luoheng's thoughts, because Qin Luoheng's consideration was obviously more thoughtful and more realistic, especially the various behaviors of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao earlier, which also made him think.
Ying Teng felt a little uneasy.
It is always a good thing to make more arrangements.
Although it may not necessarily work.
At this time, it was already drizzling in the sky.
Just when Ying Teng informed Li Si about the First Emperor's illness, the news of the First Emperor's illness spread like wildfire in the city at some point...
