"The head of state...Master Yang...Your Majesty, he..."
"His Majesty's illness is not feigned. Yesterday he vomited blood again. If anyone mentions your Majesty's coming to court after that, he will be deposed and punished as a crime of lese majeste as usual!"
It was another early morning meeting, but obviously... Liu Xie didn't come.
After hearing Yang Biao's words, the whole court was in an uproar - Liu Xie vomited blood again... and this time he seemed to be more seriously ill. As soon as the news came out, it quickly spread throughout the team -
Yang Biao's face was ashen, and Fu Wan's face was even worse. Those who didn't know thought Fu Wan was seriously ill.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to come to the morning court in the future either..."
Fu Wan murmured this, but only Yang Biao heard his voice.
——
There is still peace in Xudu City, and few people talk about the Emperor... Mainly because the Emperor's sense of presence is really too low, unlike when he vomited blood for the first time. Xudu still caused trouble in the city. Now everyone knows that the Emperor has a
If you tell them about the habit of vomiting blood, they won't be surprised.
Cao Cao made no further moves. From the day he left the Chancellery and led the imperial army into the palace, Cao Cao seemed to have fallen silent. Not only did he not deal with political affairs, it was difficult to see Cao Cao even in the Prime Minister's Palace.
However, Cao Cao was not injured because of his anger. When he stayed in Xiangyang, because Hua Tuo had recuperated him, he performed Wu Qin Xi frequently every day, and Cao Cao, who often took decoctions, felt that his body was healthier than ten years ago.
The only reason why he didn't show up was because he was waiting for someone. During this period, he had no reason to do anything eye-catching——
Liu Xie's matter must not be settled like this, but Cao Cao is very calculated and only has a letter in hand. No matter how true and detailed the content of a letter is, it is just a letter. What Cao Cao needs is definite evidence.
, and Yi Xiaotian’s decision-how could he alone make such a big decision?
After experiencing the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's trust in Yi Xiaotian reached its peak, and to a certain extent, Cao Cao began to appear a little timid.
All these have to be solved by Yi Xiaotian. As for Yi Xiaotian, who has not yet arrived, the Battle of Xiangyang has been over for half a month. In addition to now being on the way back to Xudu, he was also in
What to do?
————
Back in time after Han Sui confessed, the city of Chang'an was still gloomy.
This is not because the people have been affected, but because no matter what kind of war is over, after it is basically over, if you are not very careful, there will probably be a plague outbreak.
Sure enough, although Yi Xiaotian was proficient in the theory of typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases and knew that after the Battle of Chang'an, the corpses outside the city should be cleaned up and disposed of immediately to avoid the spread of the plague, but it is obvious that...because of the limited protective means, the plague disease first infected outside the city
The scavengers came into contact with the people in the suburban villages, and the people in the suburbs entered and exited Chang'an City, which eventually led to a sudden outbreak of the plague.
For more than ten days, Yi Xiaotian has been dealing with the plague——
——
"There are still not enough of these things called masks... It's not that the quantity is not enough, but because the protection type is so poor, we don't have enough materials to make better masks, so we can only give the soldiers a few more pairs just in case.
"
Yi Xiaotian sighed. With a population of nearly one million in Chang'an City, not everyone can get a mask.
Now he temporarily relied on Cai Zhaoji and others to summon the skilled women in the city to live in the prefect's mansion and speed up the production of masks——
Masks, which were extremely common in later generations, were by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but due to the lack of various materials, they could only be replaced with cotton and linen materials - obviously, this kind of thing is difficult to prevent the spread of the plague.
Having lived alone for two lifetimes, Yi Xiaotian certainly knew that plague was an infectious disease caused by bacteria. When Zhong Yao saw the corpses that died of the plague, he was so frightened that his legs and feet became a little inoperable, but Yi Xiaotian
The type of plague was quickly identified through the death state of the deceased.
A disease similar to the plague that can cause people to die from high fever and bleeding - mostly caused by bacterial infection - so the specific reason is, as expected, the excessive number of corpses outside Chang'an - the soldiers who died in Xiliang Han Sui
Let’s not mention horses yet——
The people Zhang Lu brought with him were mostly hungry refugees who followed him by faith, but it was difficult for them to have the opportunity to clean themselves like ordinary people.
It's better not to die, but after death, their corpses quickly decayed, not only attracting many mosquitoes, but also a large number of germs -
On the day the plague appeared, Zhong Yao panicked. He knew that when typhoid fever was prevalent, there would be a miserable scene of corpses strewn in the fields. Chang'an City was so densely populated.
When I saw the corpses all over my body, my heart went cold——
But fortunately, Yi Xiaotian is here.
Zhang Zhongjing said at that time that all epidemic diseases were classified as typhoid fever. Although the symptoms were different,... the treatment methods were not bad.
There were so many prescriptions in his mind that Yi Xiaotian quickly asked Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others to help distribute medicinal materials to the people. Each household would prepare the medicine and take it to prevent and treat patients with mild symptoms -
- The pharmacies in the city were naturally looted again by Yi Xiaotian, but on special occasions - the owners of those pharmacies are basically sensible people, not to mention that Yi Xiaotian also promised to pay them at a fair price later.
Their money.
Zhong Yao was dumbfounded. These days, Yi Xiaotian has been sitting in the position of the prefect of the prefecture, and he is far more efficient and skillful than him——
Yi Xiaotian's handling of the plague can be included in textbooks.
In the specific context of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Yi Xiaotian basically reached his limit.
Without the assistance of Zhang Zhongjing and the doctors from the Medical Department, few doctors in Chang'an had experience in dealing with this problem. Yi Xiaotian walked completely barefoot, stimulating the people's ability to save themselves to the strongest level.
He asked Zhong Yao for a series of documents such as Chang'an City's regional planning, household registration distribution, etc. As quickly as possible, relying on the high execution ability of Ma Teng and others, he identified the most affected areas in the city.
We made a prompt decision and directly blocked the area, focusing on special protection and management of the severely affected areas, while other areas were also strictly controlled and implemented very strict health protection work.
Because many righteous women joined in, the production of simple masks simply provided the most powerful protection for the soldiers of the Xiliang Army - whether it was cleaning up corpses outside the city, quickly cleaning the battlefield, or working in isolation in the city
, the risk of soldiers contracting the plague has been greatly reduced.
For nearly half a month, Yi Xiaotian worked extremely hard every day. If this did not make Zhong Yao admire and envy him, then Zhong Yao would be too dull.
Everyone can see how many lives Yi Xiaotian saved.
