Cheng Wenying said: "So we all have their own responsibilities? Jiang Qing is responsible for the medicinal materials; the prefect is responsible for sending people to clean the streets and supervise the cleaning; the Taoist priest and the Tianshi are responsible for preparing the medicine?"

Zhizhou clasped his hands together and said: "Great kindness, let's do our own thing! After the matter is settled, I will report to the court to commend Jiang Qing for his kindness!"

Today's Cheng Wenying is no longer the slow and carefree Cheng Wenying.

Meishan is undergoing great development, and many things are simply dragging him along. In the words of the old man, there are more things done in one year now than in the past three years combined.

The life of poetry and wine is gone, but the old man feels that it was very fulfilling. The regret of not passing the Jinshi examination and not being able to govern the country and bring peace to the world has been made up for in Meishan in the past few years.

Therefore, Meishan City's response to large-scale events is much faster than that of other state capitals.

Yujuguan's response was equally rapid, and he quickly prepared a decoction based on isatis root, raw rehmannia, lithospermum, and skullcap, as well as a fumigant based on Mao Shu, Tai Wu, Coptis Rhizome, and Atractylodes Atractylodes.

Yujuguan’s thousands of years of accumulated knowledge on traditional Chinese medicine cannot be underestimated.

But Su You once again stayed out of the matter. After knowing that Ke Longli and Xuegong were fine, he wrote a letter to Hachigong and Old Man Long respectively, saying hello and letting them rest assured, and then stayed at Mrs. Cheng's bedside every day.

.

Mrs. Cheng finally woke up at noon the next day.

Even though Su You was the soul of future generations, he couldn't help crying and laughing: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are finally awake... You scared Su You to death..."

Mrs. Cheng wanted to touch his head, but she had no strength, so she had to touch Su You's hand lightly: "I'm sorry for you... Xiaoyou, Zi Zhan Zi You... was hit?"

Su You nodded fiercely: "You won, two brothers won the Jinshi at the same time! From my Su family, one is twenty and the other is eighteen!"

Mrs. Cheng closed her eyes, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes to the pillow: "I am worthy of the ancestors of the Su family..."

Su You said: "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? If the Su family has someone like sister-in-law to manage the internal affairs, that is the virtue accumulated by our ancestors. Don't you always teach us that the future is not as important as virtue..."

Mrs. Cheng opened her eyes again: "No...no...why is there no good news? Xiaoyou..."

Well, Su You quickly found an excuse and said softly: "Isn't this the epidemic in Meishan? The state government is currently providing disaster relief. Even the Yu Ju Guan Xiao Celestial Master has come, and they haven't even taken care of this."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I really didn't lie to you. The disease you contracted this time is too dangerous, so you should recover quickly. When you can get up, I will send you the newspaper for your review, okay?"

"You can close your eyes and rest for a while. Only when your body is well and ready can you receive your imperial edict, right?"

Mrs. Cheng finally smiled and closed her eyes again.

Su You secretly wiped away the cold sweat, walked out of the room gently, and then ran to the kitchen to find Shi Wei to drink medicine.

…

In Bianjing, in the court, there is daily fighting.

Zhao Zhen sat on top and watched the censor making a report below.

"My lord, I impeach the new scholars Zhang Dun, Su Shi, and Su Che for failing to live up to their divine grace and reading poems and books in vain!"

"My lord, I impeach Zhao Bian, the transfer envoy to Yizhou, for mishandling the salt affairs at Feijing, privately recruiting sergeants, and equipping them with powerful crossbows!"

"My lord, I impeach the governor of Yazhou and fail to restrain and control the prefectures. As a result, the troops of the Erlin tribe entered Lujue and killed each other privately, which shocked Yanhu!"

Zhao Zhen had a good temper: "My lords, don't be impatient, please speak slowly one by one."

The censor reported: "Zhang Dun, a Fujianese, has been an official for generations and has received favors and honors from generation to generation. His father, Zhang Yu, was a high official in Yinqing Guanglu; his father Zhang Dexiang was a high official in Miguo."

"The people in his sect who tend to be arrogant and follow the influence have many false reputations. He is said to be elegant and free, with superhuman talents and profound knowledge. He was praised for a while, and he was called Zai San together with Wang Guan, Guan San and Dun Qi at that time."

"However, when this person reached the imperial examination, he was ashamed because his nephew Zhang Heng won the first prize, so he refused to accept the imperial edict. He threw away the imperial edict and returned home. He regarded the national canon as if it were nothing and looked to the court.

Rebuke them, and serve as a warning to those who come after you!"

"There are also brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe from Shu who won the same ranking but rejected them at the same time. I don't see them going to Nancao, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to try out the candidates."

"The people of Fujian are cunning and cunning, while the people of Shu are petty and narrow-minded. During the time when the Shu sergeants are going to take exams, merchants often travel with them in order to get tax exemptions. If there are any who arrive late, they should all be severely punished!"

Zhao Zhen raised his head and said: "We are all citizens. If you say anything cunning and narrow-minded, the censor should be careful. Cai Xiang is not from Fujian? What a mature person he is. The Zhang family has been loyal and loyal for generations. They are descendants of King Zhongxian. Every generation

They all live by their articles. Zhang Xiyan is famous for his loyalty, so let’s just discuss the matter."

Ouyang Xiu said: "Zhang Dun's heroic appearance is as impressive as his calligraphy, but his talent is high, so he thinks highly of himself."

"There is an extra official in the imperial court. This son's family has been in officialdom for many generations. Maybe his own requirements for himself, or the requirements for him by his family, are different from ordinary scholars."

"Your Majesty, there were many people who passed the Jinshi examination but did not enter the official career in the early days of the country, and Zhang Dun is not the only one. Among them, Shu is the most popular. During the reign of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, many people treated them well and raised their ambitions. Later, the number of Jinshi in Shu also gradually increased.

Stay longer."

"The key to the imperial examination is to examine people. Since this boy thinks so highly of himself, he will definitely come back again. Your Majesty just needs to prepare the test questions and see if his talent and learning are worthy of this pride."

Zhao Zhen was a little speechless: "I'm afraid that if he comes again, he won't even be able to get the ranking this time... If you don't know how to do it, it will be easy for an old man to reach the sky; if you don't know how to do it, it will be like picking up mustard for a child. In addition to talent, it also requires

Are you lucky?"

Ouyang Xiuxian said: "Getting the exam depends on luck. It's just a matter of luck. For people who are in the middle of the pack. As for the heroic and talented people, the scientific exam is just like passing the door."

"Nowadays, in Shu and Fujian, there are many talents in the scientific examination. In Hangzhou, nearly one hundred people are selected for the examination. This is not unrelated to the stable life and many schools in the place where they live. Most of the schools built in Qingli were abandoned, and these two are the only ones.

In this country, private education has the potential to flourish."

"The poem your Majesty just recited was written by Su Che of Meishan. He failed many times in the imperial examinations, but this time he brought his son to Beijing, and both sons passed the first examination. This is a sigh."

Zhao Zhen also hopes to hear some gossip occasionally: "Did he take the exam this time?"

Ouyang Xiu shook his head: "No, both of them passed the test. I'm afraid he will be embarrassed to take the test again in the future. I also hope that the court will be kind and don't let wise men stay in the wild."

Zhao Zhen felt strange: "Then why don't brothers Su and Su become candidates? Didn't Aiqing explain clearly to them that this is the official interview?"

Ouyang Xiu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I know this. There is an epidemic in Meishan, and Mrs. Su is seriously ill. Now her life and death are unknown. Su Nian's mother was so eager that she gave up her choice and returned to Shu, just to see her mother one last time."

"Your Majesty, our dynasty governs the world with filial piety. The Book of Filial Piety clearly states at the beginning: 'Filial piety is the foundation of virtue.'"

"Father and son are related, and monarch and ministers are righteous. Those who can be filial and brotherly at home will surely be loyal and diligent outside. I hope Your Majesty will take good care of him."

When Zhao Zhen heard the word "Epidemic", he suddenly panicked and stopped caring about Su Su: "Epidemic in Meishan? Does the prime minister know the details?"

Prime Minister Wen Yanbo came out and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. This epidemic in Meishan is caused by the miasma at the turn of spring and summer. However, what is gratifying is that all parties have been able to control the epidemic."

"Oh?" Zhao Zhen looked excited. Although the official did not announce how many people died from the epidemic in Beijing in the past few years, he himself knew it.

Wen Yanbo saluted Zhao Zhen: "Congratulations to Your Majesty. This is also due to Your Majesty's kindness. When the epidemic first broke out, the transport envoy Zhao Bian sent Yu Juguan to Meishan for treatment."

"Zhang Yuande, Taoist Priest of Jade Bureau Temple, traveled to the capital in his early years. Your Majesty ordered him to have frequent interactions with the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau, so he knew that it contains Zixue Powder, Zhibao Dan, and Angong Niuhuang Pills."

"Zhang Yuande came up with this recipe, and the Su family of Jiangqing in Meishan donated black rhinoceros, tortoise shell, and borneol brains. All the families made up the gold and silver. The purple snow powder was made to be very suitable for the disease, and thousands of people were saved."

"When the child of the Su family traveled to the Erlin of Dali, he came across a medicinal material called Isatis root. In fact, this substance is the root of indigo. It is found in many places, but people don't know its medicinal properties. The child of the Su family remembered it when he saw it used by the Yi people.

After taking it, it actually had a miraculous effect on this febrile disease. After combining it with Yuju Guan, the medicine was prepared and distributed to each household. From then on, the epidemic was under control!"

"Your Majesty, there are still many measures to be taken in Meishan this time. I have ordered Envoy Zhao Zhuan to carefully manage the regulations and provide them to the Central Committee for further reference. Those in charge of Meishan in Yizhou should take appropriate measures as rewards!"
