Chapter 331: In troubled times, there are no soldiers available!
Qin Luoheng has been staying at home.
"Ahem."
There was a coughing sound in the lobby.
Qin Luoheng hurriedly walked over to check the situation. Ying Zheng showed no sign of waking up. The cough might just be due to a discomfort in his throat. He touched the hot towel on Ying Zheng's forehead with his hand. It was already a little cold now, so he just put it on
He took off the hot towel and ordered: "Go and wet the towel with hot water, and then bring it back."
The doctors around him nodded quickly.
Qin Luoheng checked Ying Zheng's current situation.
My forehead is no longer so hot.
This meant that the temperature was no longer out of balance, and after taking the potion, Ying Zheng no longer cried out about coldness or heat, which made Qin Luoheng secretly relieved.
He had been worried that the prescription would not work, but fortunately it worked.
However, the First Emperor's infection with malaria this time also triggered the hidden illness he had been suffering from for many years, so he became seriously ill and became seriously ill, and he is still unable to wake up now.
At this time.
The doctor who changed the towels came back.
Qin Luoheng took the towel, slightly wrung out the hot towel, put it on the forehead of the First Emperor again, carefully covered it with the quilt, and then sat down on the mat beside him.
Not long after.
There was a voice outside the house.
It wasn't Li Si and Feng Qu who were ill, but Bo Shu. He asked Zong Zheng earlier that Ying Zheng's illness came very suddenly and he didn't even eat at noon, so he specially asked Bo Shu to cook some porridge.
Bo Shu walked in carrying a wooden tray.
Ying Teng glanced at Bo Shu and didn't stop him too much. Bo Shu walked up to Qin Luoheng cautiously, put the porridge in the wooden plate on the table, and said in a low voice: "I have followed my beloved's instructions.
I put a little honey in the porridge, will the officer be fine?"
Qin Luoheng smiled and said:
"fine."
"The condition is under control."
"It's just that the chief official worked too hard in the past, so he couldn't wake up for a while. When the temperature imbalance completely disappears, the chief official should be able to wake up. However, he may still be very weak in the short term, and he may have to work hard in the past few days.
is you."
Bo Shu said:
"Why would a dear man say this?"
"The elders are our elders, and we should take good care of them."
"I was relieved to hear that the chief official was fine. The porridge is still warm. My dear, you'd better feed the chief official first. I'll go out first."
Finished.
Bo Shu bowed his head to everyone one by one, and then slowly retreated.
Qin Luoheng picked up the soup bowl, took a spoonful of it, and wanted to feed it directly to the First Emperor. However, the doctor on the side kept winking at him. Qin Luoheng's eyelids raised slightly, and then he remembered that he was
The person lying in front of him was not the chief official of Qin, but the First Emperor.
His food and clothing require special care.
and.
You must let others try it first.
This is exactly what these doctors are reminding you.
Qin Luoheng hesitated for a moment and chose to ignore it.
By the time others try to finish eating, the porridge will probably be cold long ago. How can the patient eat cold food?
He lifted Ying Zheng up slightly and fed him in small mouthfuls with a spoon. Seeing this, Ying Teng couldn't help but darken his eyes, and finally chose to turn a blind eye.
He did not think that Qin Luoheng would harm the First Emperor.
and.
He knows Qin Luoheng's identity.
As a son of man, it is natural for him to serve his king and father.
What qualifications does he have to dissuade?
Just when Qin Luoheng was feeding the First Emperor, Li Si and Feng Quji finally arrived. Upon hearing the report from the guards outside, Qin Luoheng's face did not change and he said calmly: "Please let the two prime ministers wait outside for a moment.
I'll be there later."
After feeding all the porridge in the soup bowl, Qin Luoheng stood up and left the lobby.
Outside the lobby.
Li Si and others looked solemn.
Although they had never met Qin Luoheng, they had generally heard about Qin Luoheng. They knew that Qin Luoheng was not very old, so when they saw a young man in his twenties coming out of the house, they immediately identified him as Qin Luoheng.
Falling balance.
Li Si stepped forward and said worriedly: "Dr. Qin, may I ask how your majesty is doing?"
Qin Luoheng hurriedly greeted him and said: "Back to Prime Minister Li, Prime Minister Feng, your majesty's condition has stabilized now. It's just that your majesty's illness came suddenly and very quickly, so he may not be able to wake up in a short time. But wait until your majesty's condition improves."
If you become more stable, you should be able to wake up."
Feng Quji asked: "What is the reason for your Majesty's illness this time?"
He didn't know much about the time when the First Emperor fell ill, or even didn't know about it at all. If Ying Teng hadn't gone to tell him, he probably wouldn't have known anything, and he didn't see what Qin Luoheng wrote to Li Si.
As a clerk, he knew very little about the First Emperor's illness. As soon as he heard that the First Emperor was critically ill, he hurried over.
Qin Luoheng hesitated for a moment.
He said slowly:
"The illness happened to General Yang Wengzi."
"General Yang Wengzi is actually not to blame for this matter. If I guessed correctly, a plague broke out in Lingnan. General Yang Wengzi did not know about it when he returned to Xianyang, so when he reported the situation in Lingnan to His Majesty, he did not
Be careful of infecting His Majesty."
Feng Quji frowned:
"A plague broke out in Lingnan?"
"Why didn't I see the relevant documents?"
Qin Luoheng said:
"This is all my speculation."
"Just now, Imperial Physician Xia ordered General Yang Wengzi to be found. However, after going to court, Yang Wengzi suddenly lost strength and fell ill on the bed. Moreover, all the soldiers who returned with him, without exception, are now lying ill on the bed."
"So it's not difficult to draw conclusions."
Feng Quji did not comment on this, and asked: "What disease is your Majesty infected with?"
"Malaria!" Qin Luoheng said directly.
"Malaria?" Feng Quji's face changed slightly, "Your Majesty is infected with malaria?"
Qin Luoheng nodded.
Then he said:
"Prime Minister Feng, there is no need to worry."
"It is true that there was no cure for malaria in the past, but now there is a cure. I have given your Majesty the medicine, and your condition has indeed improved. However, in recent days, I am afraid that the political affairs of the DPRK and China can only be managed by two people.
The Prime Minister took care of it for me."
Li Si said: "Our duties are our responsibility."
Immediately, Li Si said again: "On the way here, I heard some rumors. It seems that many people in the city have learned about your Majesty's illness. This matter may be unusual. If you are not careful, it may cause...
The turmoil in Xianyang may even trigger various riots."
"Dr. Qin, since you are a doctor, I just want to know one thing now."
"When will Your Majesty wake up?"
Qin Luoheng shook his head.
He smiled bitterly and said:
"Prime Minister Li is really making things difficult for me."
"Although I can give your Majesty medicine, I really can't control when your Majesty will wake up. Moreover, you all know your majesty's hard work in the past. Your majesty's body has already been depleted too much and the body has been consumed too much. This time he may be in coma.
Last for a while.”
There was a solemn look in Li Si's eyes.
He opened his mouth and said:
"This is not forced by me, but actually forced by the situation."
"If your Majesty's illness spreads, the nobles of the six countries and even hundreds of schools of thought in the city may take action and urgently need to send troops to suppress it. Without your Majesty's edict, the soldiers of Lantian Camp cannot be mobilized. By then,
There may be big problems.”
Qin Luoheng said helplessly: "I also know this, but there is really nothing I can do. The only thing I can do now is to rely on the two prime ministers and try to let the court officials perform their duties to avoid causing greater turmoil. As for the six
It is really difficult to take care of both the nobles of the country and the various schools of thought."
Li Si's face became more and more serious.
He is very aware of the influence of this matter. If it is not handled properly, it will trigger a chain reaction. If the nobles of the six countries are allowed to defect, the place may no longer be peaceful.
What made Li Si even more uneasy was how did the news about the First Emperor's illness spread?
However, this matter involved the palace, and it was difficult for him to ask.
Li Sidao:
"I can only do my best."
"But looking at the situation in the city, I'm afraid that the nobles of the six countries and the various schools of thought will take action soon. Dr. Qin, the situation is urgent, so I won't stay any longer. If His Majesty wakes up, please send someone to talk to me quickly.
I'll wait until you get in touch and I'll report it to you directly to avoid further escalation of the situation."
Qin Luoheng bowed his head and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry. If your Majesty regains consciousness, I will inform you as soon as possible."
Li Si nodded slightly and left quickly.
He is going to arrange matters in the city.
They originally wanted to ask for His Majesty's orders on this trip, but now His Majesty is still in a coma. Although they are anxious, they can only retreat first. What they can do is to stabilize the situation as much as possible before His Majesty wakes up and avoid
The incident escalated further.
It's just that the storm is coming, and without the army to guard it, it is really difficult to maintain.
When Li Si and Feng Quji returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, an official immediately sent a document. After reading the contents of the document, Feng Quji's face became very solemn.
He said to Li Si: "Qin Luoheng's guess is correct. A plague has indeed broken out in Lingnan, and it has become very serious. Most of the 100,000 soldiers guarding Lingnan have fallen ill."
"What a troubled time!"
"If the plague is allowed to run rampant, it won't be long before Lingnan will be without troops. By then, Lingnan will probably be recaptured by the Baiyue tribe. The Qin Dynasty will lose hundreds of thousands of soldiers and casualties. How can this be done to a territory that was finally conquered with great difficulty?
Give it up?"
Feng Quji's face looked extremely ugly.
He already felt a biting cold wind blowing against his face.
A slight mishandling may lead to the collapse of the country, which made Feng Quji feel a strong sense of urgency and pressure.
Li Si's expression was equally solemn.
However, he didn't pay much attention to the Lingnan plague.
Because he has read the memorial submitted by Qin Luoheng, which provides appropriate solutions. As long as the prescription provided by Qin Luoheng is effective, the plague in Lingnan will be subsided in a short time. The most difficult problem now is Xianyang.
The news has spread that the First Emperor is critically ill. Rumors will inevitably run rampant in the city. The people at the bottom do not know the truth. If they are deceived by others, it will easily cause large-scale panic. Xianyang has a population of one million.
With such a huge amount, a little carelessness may lead to catastrophe.
In fact, this kind of thing is not difficult to solve. As long as the First Emperor shows up, all kinds of rumors outside can be stopped abruptly. But now the First Emperor cannot show up, which unintentionally encourages these rumors to spread.
If the army can be mobilized to guard the four directions.
The imperial court was able to quickly put an end to this incident.
However, the First Emperor's coma was too sudden, and no arrangements were made for this. Therefore, they had no right to mobilize the army. In addition to mobilizing the army, they also mobilized surrounding guards to assist, and there is indeed one person in the court who has this authority.
It is Taiwei, one of the three princes!
However, the current Taiwei is Wang Ben, and now Wang Ben is also in a coma. This also leads to the fact that there are hundreds of ministers in the court, but no one has the power to mobilize troops.
This situation is really rare.
Therefore, Li Si, Feng Quji and other court officials felt even more pressure.
The night gradually opened.
The undercurrent that was originally hidden under the dark clouds is now slowly revealing its figure...
