Yang Heshu immediately requested to stay in Xiazhou. He said that he did not bring his family back to Kyoto this time because he was worried about everything in Xiazhou.
The emperor sighed and asked Yang Heshu to leave the palace. Then in the evening, he issued an edict to punish Yang Heshu for violating the rank of superior and placing the superior under house arrest, and fined him three months' salary.
But the official department was preparing documents for his promotion to the governor of Xiazhou.
This matter is not a secret. Even the servants at the Crown Princess talked about it jokingly, "This is a clear derogation but a real praise. People outside are saying that the Yang family is going to rise again."
The Crown Princess smiled and waved the servants to leave, and said to Man Bao and the others, "It's so simple. I heard the Crown Prince mentioned that the situation in Xiazhou is not good now."
Chang Yu looked worried, "Then why does Mr. Yang still go?"
Man Bao said: "It's just because it's not good that I go."
She said: "Before, no one knew what Xiazhou was like better than him. Now that Xiazhou is like this, he can't just leave."
Man Bao still had great confidence in Yang Heshu, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, since Senior Brother Yang can get through the test in the middle of the court safely, then Xiazhou is no longer a problem."
Man Bao glanced at the sun outside, stood up and said goodbye, "Mother, it's late, I have to leave the palace and go home."
The Crown Princess also took a look at the position of the sun, nodded and said: "Go, you just came back, and you also want to reunite with your family."
Mingda immediately stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll see her off."
Chang Yu also stood up immediately, "I'll go too."
So the two of them slowly walked towards the gate of the East Palace with Manbao under their arms. Mingda asked her, "Last month you wrote a brochure saying that there is a method to prevent and control smallpox in the Western Regions, called vaccination?"
"Yes," Man Bao said, "I want to look for it."
Mingda was filled with envy, "I accidentally heard my father and mother talking about it, saying that if they could find this method, it would be a great merit."
This means that the emperor also tended to agree to let Zhou Man go to the Western Regions.
Man Bao perked up, "Your Majesty really said that?"
Mingda nodded, "After receiving the fold, my father had already sent a letter to the Anxi Protectorate to ask if there was such a method there. However, Anxi is too far away from the capital. Even if the journey goes smoothly, it will take two or three months for the letter to be sent.
Come back, not to mention that the Anxi Protectorate may have to investigate."
This was not an urgent item, so the messenger who delivered the letter must have left slowly. It took more than a month to go and more than a month to come back, which was only two or three months.
Man Bao, who was worried about this, relaxed a little and felt that she didn't need to take so many days off. Why not go to Dr. Liu and Dr. Xiao tomorrow to talk about this kind of acne?
Well, Dr. Liu will be on duty tomorrow, so go find Dr. Xiao.
"By the way, I went to Tai Hospital today to listen to people's comments. Dr. Xiao has made great achievements in fighting the epidemic. Is he going to resume his original position?"
Mingda smiled and said: "If you ask about other official positions, I may not know about them, but if you ask about this, I know that Dr. Xiao will indeed resume his original position."
She said: "The capital was also very dangerous a few years ago. Some people secretly hid in the capital to seek medical advice. Doctor Xiao helped Magistrate Tang and Magistrate Guo to find them all."
In fact, it was not as simple as finding them out. The situation in Beijing at that time was not much better than that in Xiazhou. No one knew how many smallpox patients had hid in Beijing and how many people they had come into contact with.
There were a lot of people in the capital, so Dr. Xiao overcame all objections and locked up and isolated all those who might have come into contact with smallpox patients and their belongings. They waited one by one and treated them one by one...
In addition, he was required to assist the Ministry of Household Affairs in handling the medicinal materials and fabrics needed by Xiazhou and other places at that time. In hindsight, the emperor found that Dr. Liu's medical skills were good, but Dr. Xiao was better at managing these matters.
Moreover, Dr. Xiao's medical skills were also very good, so the emperor promoted Dr. Xiao to the hospital again.
Mingda said: "The decree hasn't been issued yet, but it's already close to ten."
Chang Yu said: "I said before that you have also made great achievements this time. When you come back from Xiazhou, can you grab the position of the chief of the courtyard? Who knows that you actually intend to go to the Western Regions. Alas, it is far and far away.
It’s desolate, and I heard there are many horse thieves.”
Man Bao said: "Even if I don't go to the Western Regions, it won't be my turn to be the director of the hospital. Not to mention that there is Dr. Liu, there is Dr. Lu above me. In terms of qualifications, he is no less qualified than me."
Mingda asked her curiously, "Do you want to be the dean?"
Man Bao said: "I don't want to think about it yet."
It’s because I don’t think about it yet, not because I don’t want to.
Mingda understood. She smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I understand."
She and Chang Yu sent the people to the palace gate, and the three of them stood there talking, "Obviously it's not possible for you to go to the Western Regions alone. Have you thought about who from the court to go with you?"
Man Bao said: "There are still two junior brothers of mine."
She chuckled and said, "Your consort will also come with us, and we will write back to you from time to time."
Mingda's face turned red and said: "You know that I am not talking about him. You are young. It is obviously not possible to leave such a big thing to the three of you. My father should let you choose from Honglu Temple."
Bring someone out to accompany you."
This is to ask them to go to Honglu Temple in advance to find someone.
Man Bao thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "Tell me, can I ask my teacher to go to Honglu Temple, and then let my teacher take us there?"
In this way, only our own people are going there. We agreed to go on a study tour, but we also want to look for meteorites. It has to be our own people to go, right?
Mingda also began to think deeply, and also lowered his voice and replied to her, "It's not impossible, but this matter must be dealt with by the prince's brother. Father will not condone you."
But it is not difficult for the prince to send the lecturers from Chongwen Hall to Honglu Temple.
Man Bao began to think, "How is the prince's mood recently?"
Changyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "When you asked this question, you looked like the treacherous person in the storybook."
Manbao:……
Mingda also laughed out loud and said to her: "It's not good or bad. It's spring now and he is busy. I haven't seen him for almost half a month."
"Okay, I'll go back and think of a solution."
Manbao has never had the experience of asking someone to do something, or asking the boss of his immediate boss to do something, so he plans to go back and ask a gentleman with more life experience for advice.
Or go ask Senior Brother Yang and Senior Brother Tang for advice tomorrow?
Anyway, they are going to see Senior Yang tomorrow.
The Yang family was busy with traffic. Obviously, it was no secret in the capital that the emperor liked Yang Heshu.
Man Bao and the others were ushered in as soon as their car reached the side door. The servant put their car alone in a corner of the yard and said with a smile: "Miss Man, Master Bai, Second Young Master Bai, and Master Tang are already here and are following us."
The uncle is talking in the study at the back."
A girl came over to lead them there. When she passed the side door of the main courtyard, she heard the lively sounds coming from inside. Manbao smiled and asked, "Why are there so many guests at home?"
The girl then smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm back safely. All my relatives and friends are coming to visit me."
However, there were not many people that Yang Heshu could meet in person, and most of the people who came were female relatives. Everyone was crowded in the main courtyard with Madam Hou.
