Chapter 276 Mei Yaochen passes away

Su You was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Are you so unlucky that the epidemic will spread wherever you go?

He also heard Li Shun speak: "Yesterday, three beggars died in Chenliu County, and today the number increased to five. A family of three were also found dead outside the Zhouqiao Bridge in Bianzhou. After examination by the imperial doctor, it was determined that they were all febrile. There is an epidemic in Beijing.

It’s about to explode!”

Su You held up his hands and frowned: "Hasn't the Meishan Epidemic Prevention and Control Regulations been submitted to the imperial court a long time ago? I believe they can be controlled. I wonder why I am recruited as a supervisor?"

Li Shunju shook his head: "This is the capital city. Blocking and isolating the city will not work. We can only start with the application of pesticides and the... hygiene mentioned in the regulations."

"The three prescriptions of Supreme Treasure Pill, Angong Niuhuang Pill, and Purple Snow Pill have not been used for many years. I called you here this time to ask about their effectiveness, and... do you remember the prescription? Write it down for reference in detail.

how?"

Su You said: "There's no such thing as effectiveness. Even if the disease enters the camp and the blood is cured, it can be cured. I heard Yuan Degong said that Zixue's side comes from "Qian Jin Yi Fang" and "Waitai Secrets". Two of them

, one is purple snow, and the other is xuanshuang. The purple snow is better than Meishan purple snow powder, only less talc..."

Li Shun was overjoyed: "You know the recipe? You really have found the wrong person!"

Su You said: "I don't know the recipe, but Fang Ge is catchy, so I remember it. Yes, purple snow takin, ox, zupun salt, nitrate, cold hydrotalcite, dingchen wood, musk deer and black grass, it's even better without using the red gold method."

Li Shunju quickly pointed to a few cases: "Write them down!"

Su You did not hesitate and hurriedly went to write down the prescriptions for the elixirs. He also wrote down the prescriptions for Zhi Bao Dan and Angong Niuhuang Wan.

Li Shunju picked up the list: "The treasures are cinnabar with musk breath, real yellow rhinoceros horn and bezoar, gold and silver foil and borneol, and amber with tortoiseshell."

Look at another picture: "Angong Niuhuang's prescription for resuscitation, Qinlianzhiyu, vermilion and realgar. Rhinoceros horn pearl ice musk foil, heat sealing pericardium has good effect."

Su You handed over his hand and said, "Zhaiban, I don't know the weight. Can I make a recipe like this?"

Li Shunju handed the order to Wang Zhongzheng, who took it and moved behind the brocade curtain.

Li Shunju patted Su You on the shoulder: "Don't worry, young man. There are many experts in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and they should be able to calculate the dosage. If you help the world and save people, you will definitely be blessed."

Su You waved his hand: "Why, I think it is the same as the recipe in the palace. This can't be regarded as helping the world and saving people."

Li Shunju smiled slightly: "The key is that after several fires in the palace, these three recipes can't be found!"

Su You rolled his eyes, no wonder the history books say that you are not good people, dead eunuchs can also lie!

But business matters were important, so he quickly said: "Among the three prescriptions, Angong Niuhuang Pill is the best, Zixue Powder is the second, and Zhibao Dan is the third. Yuan Degong said that the last two prescriptions should be combined with Xingjun Powder to make them combined."

"The three parties are really precious. They can protect the nobles in the palace, but they cannot protect the common people in the market."

"He also developed three prescriptions in Meishan, one is isatis root as a drink, one is fumigation, and the other is easy to remember, three astragalus, one atractylodes, and one root."

"Yuan Degong said that to prevent wind, it is good to drive away wind, so get Astragalus to solidify the outside, and get Atractylodes to solidify the inside. If you want to dispel wind evil, you should lean on it like a screen, which is as precious as jade. Therefore, it is called Jade Screen Powder."

"These three parties are suitable for both high and low, so I'll write it down too."

After saying that, he wrote down the three prescriptions and handed them to Li Shunju: "With these three prescriptions, combined with other measures in the article... Su You will do his best to do this, and the rest will depend on the court.

.”

Li Shunju looked at the prescription and said: "When doctors get prescriptions, they keep them secret and don't reveal them to others, thinking they are passed down from family to family..."

After saying that, he bowed to Su You: "We have a villain's heart and a gentleman's heart. Someone like Mingrun, who is so helpful to the world, deserves a bow. I just miscalculated, so I have to apologize!"

Su You hurriedly stepped over and held Li Shunju's arm: "I don't dare to take it seriously. The three parties in the past were officials' benevolence. Only when Xu Yuande learned about it did it magically return today."

"The last three parties are also the merits of our colleagues in the Yu Ju Guan medical field and have nothing to do with Su You."

"But I, the Song Dynasty, now really need to pay attention to search for prescriptions from various places, draw up materia medica, and compile medical books to benefit the people... Oops, I am talking too much."

Li Shunju's face showed a trace of relaxation: "This is not talking too much, this is giving advice. Without further ado, I won't leave you to talk. After you go out, you should say what you should and shouldn't say. Mingrun is a smart man, so he should

I know. Li Xian, please send Mingrun back!"

After he came out of the palace gate and mounted his horse, Su You breathed a sigh of relief after riding for a while: "The majesty of the imperial city makes people afraid to show off their anger."

Li Xian smiled and said: "I didn't notice it. Lang Jun dealt with it gracefully and calmly. I think many senior officials are not as good as you."

Su You remained silent. It was true that he was more decent than your boss. He was so happy that he even spoke out his advice.

Can you say this nonsense in the imperial city? Does he think he is an official?!

The first thing I did when I got up the next day was to send Zhang Zao and Zhang Qi to the drug store to buy medicine.

You have prepared the three treasures for febrile diseases. Now you only need Yupingfeng powder and fumigation medicine.

Then he notified cousin Mingyun to take medicine as a precaution, to thank guests behind closed doors, and to go to Mei Duguan's place as little as possible. We'll wait until this wave of events is over. There are still two children at home.

Zhang Kai received news a few days ago that his father Zhang Fang was imprisoned and was being confronted in Wei County, Hebei Province.

So Zhang Kai had no choice but to give up the exam and hurried to Wei County to defend himself.

Zhang Dun was also persuaded by Su You to leave, and secretly told him that something might happen in the capital. If a gentleman does not stand behind a wall, and if there happens to be an appointment, he should go to Shangluo and take up his post.

After thinking about it, I wrote another letter to the great monk Daolong of Daxiangguo Temple, and attached a thousand guan of salt notes. Relying on religious people is probably much more reliable than the government.

Soon, nuns and monks began to apply medicine and fumigation all over Bianjing, and the charity measures were turned into religious ceremonies.

In April, the epidemic was at its peak. The wind in Bianjing was trembling, and the streets were depressed, almost like ghosts.

On April 25, Mei Yaochen died of illness at the age of fifty-nine.

In this epidemic prevention and control, the official and non-governmental measures have been appropriate. The government has allocated 50,000 yuan in domestic currency to prepare rhinoceros horns, dipterocarps, gold and other precious medicines. Tzu Chi has distributed tens of thousands of precious pills. Daxiangguo Temple, every day

Boil dozens of jars of medicine.

Every house is closed, and all kinds of folk remedies are prescribed together.

Like throwing beans into the well...

Burning paper horses in the corner to send a message to the god of plague...

Grass ashes were scattered in several corners of the house...

The god of plague seemed to be really afraid and brought disaster to more than 200 people. By July 5th, the epidemic seemed to be finally under control.

The officials summoned them and allocated another thousand coins from the inner treasury to build the Renhuai Hall in the Daxiangguo Temple. They also gave the great monk Daolong purple robes and a golden bowl to thank him for his great contribution in this disaster relief.

The "New Book of Tang" was actually completed, but Mei Yaochen died before it could be submitted to the officials.

Ouyang Xiu presented a large number of works to the court, then burst into tears and asked the officials to repay Mei Yaochen's merits and appoint one of his sons as an official.

On July 9, Mei Yaochen held a public memorial ceremony, and great cultural figures such as Ouyang Xiu, Liu Chang, and Su Xun each wrote memorial texts.

Bianyangfang.

Su Xun, Su You, Su Shi, and Su Che got off their cars and entered the public memorial site on foot.

All the way were scribes and noble doctors in embroidered robes, crowding to the mourning hall to pay their respects.

"The human market in the east of the city has been abandoned, and travelers are not allowed to come and go. Xian was shocked and said to Xiang Xiang: 'Who is the evil sir who lives here? Why are there so many visitors!'"

"From the prime minister down, everyone takes care of their families."

Su Xun burst into tears in front of Mei Yaochen's soul.

Not only did he feel sorry for his close friends, but he also felt deeply for each of them.

Mei Yaochen, courtesy name Shengyu, was born in Xuancheng and was known as Mr. Wanling in the world.

When he was young, he failed in the rural examination, so he followed his uncle to Luoyang and became the chief bookkeeper of Luoyang. Later, he served as a minor official in prefectures and counties.

After he was fifty years old, he was summoned by Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty to take the exam, and was granted the same background as a Jinshi. He was later appointed as a direct lecturer in the Imperial Academy, and moved to Shangshu, Tuntiandu, and Guanwailang.

The elegance of their poems and the incomparable differences in their official careers are so similar!

The officials in Bianjing City were very busy. Just after the disaster passed, the competition was coming again.

August 15th, autumn.

Zhang Qi, Zhang Zao and Su Xiaomei, according to the custom, made chicken for Su You, which is actually wind chicken. The skin is rubbed with turmeric. This is called "Yellow Jitou Kui Chicken".

"Calling it something virtuous is a good prophecy."

Su You curled his lips and said, "Everyone is serving yellow-armored chicken, but only one is the leader."

As for why you don’t make a yellow-armored duck, don’t ask me!

This exam is a preparatory course for Jinshi, and is not a special priority for the Su family.

It can also be seen from the rank of the examiners that the prefectural general judge is responsible for the examination of the Jinshi scholars, and the official examiner is responsible for the examination of the other majors.

If the examiner does not understand the meaning of the scriptures, a second-level official can be selected to serve, but the examination must be supervised by a judge.

Each test paper must be stamped with the official seal, and the examiner and invigilator must also sign on the back of the test paper.

If a candidate is found to be cheating, he or she will be expelled on the spot; examiners who accept bribes and commit fraud will be severely punished.
