Chapter 244 Morning Light
Go in person
Many people in the courtyard had surprised expressions on their faces.
It is one thing to develop drugs in Chang'an, but it is another thing to go to the epidemic area and risk yourself.
With Li Ang's current identity, status, fame, and importance, there is absolutely no need to take this risk. He is already the revered God of Medicine King, and no one will force him to go.
Even from a purely utilitarian point of view, the entire court of Yu Kingdom did not want Li Ang to be put in danger—the role of a Neo Confucianist is greater than that of a physician.
“.”
Emperor Yu frowned slightly, "Gu worms have no eyes, and there is news from Suzhou that some monks are already sick."
"I can protect myself well."
Li Ang's tone was firm, he had a reason to go to the epidemic area. What's more, he has been parasitized by Mosi, his internal organs are already full, schistosomiasis?
No matter how fierce, can Mosi be as fierce? Even if it comes, it will be killed.
"good."
Seeing Li Ang's firm attitude, Emperor Yu nodded and said, "What do you need?"
"The doctor's command power and herbal medicine distribution power in the epidemic area and the surrounding states and counties of the epidemic area,"
Li Ang paused for a moment, "Perhaps we need to call civilian husbands, expropriate land, and take in patients."
Going to Suzhou to control water poisoning, one person's power is limited after all, and one must have real power.
According to the law of Yu, after a flood or drought disaster, the imperial court will send internal and external officials of the fifth rank or above to serve as inspectors to relieve the victims and inspect officials, also known as "pacification envoys", "cunfu envoys", and "xuanfu envoys".
Although Li Ang has the title of County Earl of the founding of the country, he has no official position and is too young to be an inspector.
Not to mention inspectors, don't drive, record, join the military, Sima and other official positions are also inappropriate.
What he wants is another position.
"The mountain is long."
Emperor Yu turned his head to look at Lian Xuanxiao when he heard the words, the latter nodded slowly, took out a jade pendant from his bosom, raised his hand and threw it out.
Wow—
The jade pendant crossed the track in the air,
Li Ang stretched out his hand to catch it, and saw that the jade was soft and warm, with the seven words "Xue Gong Xing Xun, Lian Xuan Xiao" clearly engraved on it.
"This jade pendant was given to me by my teacher back then. Remember to return it when you come back from Suzhou."
Lian Xuanxiao smiled, completely ignoring the astonished gazes of the people around him.
"Um."
Li Ang nodded solemnly, and put the jade pendant in his arms, inevitably feeling a little excited.
Throughout the entire history of the academy, at his age, the number of people who can take over the jade pendant of the academy's inspection tour can probably be counted on one hand.
Emperor Yu also raised his eyebrows. There can only be 22 people on the tour of the Academy, no less and no more, and it represents the will of the Academy when walking outside.
Its authority can be large or small, and it can even take over the state army if necessary. Great for disaster relief.
He just didn't expect that the head of the mountain would hand over his previous jade pendant to Li Ang—which made him a little jealous.
Emperor Yu laughed at himself, turned his head, and asked Li Ang peacefully, "When will you be ready to go?"
"anytime."
Li Ang replied, with the school tour badge in hand, there is no need to worry about insufficient authority.
"Then tomorrow night, I will send someone to take you there first. Some herbs and equipment to be used will be shipped to Suzhou in a few days."
Emperor Yu nodded, glanced across the courtyard from the corner of his eyes, and noticed the quiet young man in the corner, "Shan'er, as the King of Light, you are going with Li Ang this time."
"yes."
The boy named Li Shan took a step forward, saluted respectfully, with a calm and peaceful expression, without any surprise or dissatisfaction.
——
"I'm fine."
Li Ang waved his hand with a smile, and briefly talked about his going to Suzhou, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and if everything goes well, I'll be back in three months."
"tomorrow?"
Aunt Song said anxiously: "Is it too late?"
“Disaster relief is like fire fighting.”
Li Ang didn't explain too much, and said gently: "It's okay, I'm not going to be a lone hero. The imperial court has long been very proficient in disaster relief. It will mobilize supplies, recruit civilians, send troops, and summon monks.
I just went to see what I could do. "
"But."
Aunt Song wanted to say something more, Song Shaoyuan patted her palm lightly, shaking his head as a signal.
Li Ang has made decisions since he was a child. Since he has made a decision, he has no choice but to support it as a relative or friend.
Song Shaoyuan said in a deep voice: "Gu worms have no eyes, pay attention to safety."
"Um."
Li Ang nodded, and left Judefang with Chai Chai.
After a night of carnival, the streets are left with scraps of paper from firecrackers, and the air is filled with the smell of fireworks.
There are few people, and the dawn is dawning on the horizon,
Li Ang and Chai Chai walked on the empty street, breathing the cold air,
Silence walked home,
Boil water in silence,
Wash in silence.
Li Ang, who was wearing soft pajamas, was lying on the bed, looking at the familiar ceiling by the faint candlelight.
It has been a year and a half since I came to Chang'an. What happened in this year and a half is more ups and downs than the previous ten years of my life.
It’s been so long.
He sighed in his heart, turned sideways, and looked at the next bed.
Chai Chai was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling just like herself, with the candlelight reflected in her crystal eyes.
Chai Chai is quite peaceful and lovely when he is not talking, committing crimes, or being naive
Li Ang paused, suddenly startled by the thoughts that rose in his heart, quickly controlled Mosi, and calmed down the inexplicably accelerated heartbeat and pulse.
As if aware of the gaze, Chai Chai, who was wrapped up like a silkworm baby, squirmed and rolled, turned around, and looked at Li Ang.
"Master, will it be dangerous to go to Suzhou this time?"
Li Ang fell silent. He wanted to say that there would be no danger, but looking into Chai Chai's eyes, he couldn't lie.
He thought for a long time, and replied: "Maybe there is. However, even if you stay at home and do nothing, there will be risks."
"Is that so"
Chai Chai nodded thoughtfully, and said in a low voice, "Then I'll wait for you in Chang'an."
"Um."
Li Ang smiled, "Why don't you tell me to take you with you?"
"You've said it before, I hate the plot in short story books that insists on living together and dying together regardless of the occasion, only to be dragged down in the end."
Chai Chai said softly: "Since you said there is danger there, young master, it is really dangerous there. I don't know medical skills, and my cultivation base is also very poor. I am the only one who can take care of you. Now that you have the power of mind, you don't need me to serve you in daily life." "
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said very seriously: "I will study hard in the academy, and in the future, I will protect you."
"Is it?"
Li Ang smiled slightly, "That's fine too. Go to sleep."
Release the power of thought in the air, lightly twist the wick, and turn off the light.
The room returned to silence, only breathing evenly.
