The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 22 Magical Medicine
Zhang Zhou sat at the same table with Zhu Feng and his wife.

Food and wine are set on the table.

Zhang Zhou could also feel Zhu Feng's enthusiasm for greeting him, although the way Zhu Feng looked at him might be a little unusual.

"When will the young master leave?" Zhang Zhou asked.

Zhu Feng said with a smile: "Leave after talking with you. The subordinates outside have urged you several times. You must leave the city before dark, and you must ride a horse to the riverside, and then take a ferry to the north."

Zhang Zhou took a look at Ning Tong, and Ning Tong was also looking at him.

The eyes of the couple are not right.

Zhang Zhoudao: "I have something that I want to talk to my young master alone, can I invite this..."

"I'm in your way here? You take care of yourself and pretend I'm not here." Ning Tong was very angry.

You asked me to come to do business with you guys, and now you want to drive me away?

Zhu Feng said with a smile: "Tong'er, Brother Zhang and I have important matters to discuss. You go in first, and then come out. If you don't go in, and Brother Zhang doesn't explain the matter to me clearly, I can't leave either. It’s not good to be so deadlocked.”

"Humph!"

After Ning Tong snorted coldly, she got up and went to the inner hall.

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, this woman has quite a personality, what is the origin of this, married to Cheng Guogong's mansion, she is not the wife of the eldest son, but just the second wife, and she is so awesome?
Your fanciful self-confidence is incomprehensible.

……

"Brother Zhang, tell me." Zhu Feng looked expectant.

Probably he thought that Zhang Zhou was going to bring him some profitable business.

Only then did Zhang Zhou explain his reason for coming.

"... Here, there is a prophecy left by a celestial master, saying that the princess of His Majesty will have an accident in the middle of September, and it will start from acne." Zhang Zhou said, "The emperor believes in Taoism. If you don't believe it, I don't blame it either. When I didn't say anything."

Speaking of "disasters" is the most common means of persuasion in this era, and in an era where almost everyone adheres to theism, this is also the most direct means.

"what?"

While Zhu Feng was taken aback, he seemed to panic, "This... this matter seems to be quite big, but what does it have to do with us?"

Zhang Zhoudao: "If there is a plan now, the little princess may be saved, can you try it with me?"

"Of course that's good." Zhu Feng said, "If I arrived in the capital and the little princess fell ill, I would take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the palace for treatment. If the disease was cured, it would be a great achievement. Brother Zhang, you are going to give me a great contribution ?"

Zhang Zhou shook his head: "Things are not as you think, the way of treatment is not to enter the palace after the onset, but..."

Zhang Zhou basically told Zhu Feng about his plan.

It's just to conceal the origin of the "miracle medicine".

When Zhu Feng heard that the treatment method was to cut open the arm of the little princess and apply the "miracle medicine" after she came into contact with the patient, he immediately shook his head: "The princess is a thousand gold body, how can I have the ability to make your majesty obey me?" To destroy the little princess' body? If something happens, I can't afford it."

Zhang Zhoudao: "The little princess got sick because of acne, and it wasn't you and me who spread the acne to the court. Even if something happened, what does it have to do with you and me?"

Zhu Feng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Although that's the case, how can I make His Majesty listen to me?"

Hearing that Zhu Feng was seriously analyzing the feasibility of this matter, Zhang Zhou probably knew it. Zhu Feng was a little sloppy, at least he was sincere in his dealings with others, and maybe he could cooperate.

"Let me be blunt. If you make a memorial right now, it is mentioned that a celestial master calculated that the princess might be infected with acne, and proposed a method to prevent it. If you pass it on a fast horse, the memorial can reach the capital within three days."

"After more than ten days, if there is no outbreak of acne in the palace, then this report will at most be regarded as your hearsay, alarmist nonsense, and it will not harm you, but if there is an epidemic... …At that time, people in the palace were panicked, and His Majesty was eager to save his beloved daughter, so he might accept your opinion, wouldn’t he?”

"Uh……"

Zhu Feng was thinking again.

Zhang Zhou strikes while the iron is hot: "Your Majesty has always been very respectful of Taoist immortals. There is a Daoist Li Guangli in the palace. As long as your prophecy is in line with the actual situation, Your Majesty may adopt it. Even if you do not adopt it, the princess will be sick. It has nothing to do with you or me, and there is no responsibility or risk. For you, this is an opportunity, and I will not force you."

Zhang Zhou finally left his words here.

Opportunities are in front of you. I am using the opinion of the "Heavenly Master" you admire. Don't you still want to learn about the opportunity to make a fortune from him?What could make you "rich" more than this news right now?
This cannot be called getting rich, it is simply an opportunity to become famous.

Zhu Feng thought about it for a long time, then swallowed and said, "This medicine can really prevent acne? Will there be any..."

Zhang Zhoudao: "You and I can test it first, it's on you and me. If your Majesty asks after you arrive in the capital, you can also explain that you have tested it yourself, and it is not poisonous, which is more convincing."

"Ah? This is..."

When Zhu Feng heard that he wanted to cut his own arm, he was still a little timid.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, think about it. Just pick a small hole in your arm and use a little thing to go in. Even if it is the most poisonous poison, it won't kill you at all, right? Besides, I can try it before you." .Successful and famous, just this one, I don't have any way to speak out, it's up to you!"

Zhang Zhou has no other way?Actually there are.

It is to go to Wang Jia and Liu Ji, and propose it as a juror, but to orthodox civil servants, his suggestion is like a fairy tale, it is strange that Wang Jia and Liu Ji can believe him, and Wang Jia and Liu Ji are not Opportunists will not take risks casually.

However, Zhu Feng, as the second son of the Chengguo family, has no possibility of inheriting the title. It needs some unconventional credits, coupled with Zhu Feng's opportunistic color, which makes Zhang Zhou feel that this matter is feasible.

Zhu Feng's forehead became hot, and he said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I don't know why, but I feel like you hit it off from the first time I saw you. Although this matter sounds bizarre, I am more willing to believe you. If this matter is true If it's done, then more people in Daming will know about me..."

Zhang Zhou frowned.

You are a speculator, not for profit, but for fame?Let more people know you?

What a wonder.

"Young master Zhang, how to use this medicine, give me a try! Does it mean that as long as I use this medicine, I don't have to worry about being infected with the evil disease on the way to the north?"

Zhu Feng looked anxious.

Only then did Zhang Zhou understand that there was another reason why Zhu Feng was willing to take the risk, that is, Zhu Feng was afraid of death. He probably knew that there was a disaster in Jiangbei now, and he was afraid that he would get sick and belch when he passed the disaster area, so he could take the opportunity to buy a personal identity Insurance.

Zhang Zhoudao: "I don't know if there are other epidemics to be prepared for. Maybe this medicine is just for acne prevention."

"That's pretty powerful. It's said that the disease spreads and it's really scary. I get sick just by staring at you. I've been weak and sick since I was a child, and I'm afraid I can't bear it. If it's really effective, then I don't have to worry about getting acne on the way north." People with sores."

The child of the Duke's family is actually a sick child?

Zhang Zhou took out the "miracle medicine" he had found hard outside the city, took out the prepared goose quill, and showed Zhu Feng: "That's it..."

……

……

After teaching Zhu Feng the method of vaccination, he taught Zhu Feng to write memorials.

"Let my wife greet you. I'll go first, and I'll say hello to her too. As long as you tell her when the grain will be sold, the exact amount of grain will be in my account book. You can take it back and see for yourself... "

Zhu Feng left excitedly, not even thinking about continuing to greet Zhang Zhou, which made Zhang Zhou see more clearly the nature of speculators in Zhu Feng.

When Ning Tong came out again, only Zhang Zhou was left in the huge hall.

Ning Tong was not surprised that her husband left without saying goodbye, as if she was used to being left alone, she just stared at her almond-shaped eyes and said: "Mr. Zhang, you are really capable. You made my husband obey your orders. What did you do to him? What drug?"

Listening to Zhang Zhou, his tone was full of the tone of a boudoir and resentful woman.

It seems that this lady...you are very unhappy.
