My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 133 Heaven is going to kill me, but I can’t become champion

Despite the grand sacrificial activities in the capital, for the people from all over the Han Dynasty, the winter of the sixth year of Yuanshou was no different from any other winter.

Having just experienced a tiring expedition, this winter is even quieter than usual.

From the nobles to the common people, everyone in the Han Dynasty was looking forward to the arrival of spring, when they would sow seeds and watch the green wheat fields spread all over the earth.

At that time.

The people of the world finally had hope, and the Han people could breathe a sigh of relief.

In an agricultural society, all superstructures are built on land and food. As long as the weather is favorable and the country has a good harvest, then all problems are not a problem.

Big things can be turned into small things, and small things can be turned into nothing.

only.

As the weather warms up, it's not all joy, there may be bad news...

The bad news came suddenly, but there were some clues.

"Didn't I arrange for Duke Song and others to see him regularly? How come Marquis Guanjun is still critically ill? " In the Crown Prince's Palace, Liu Ju asked in astonishment as he stood up.

Seeing the prince's anxious expression, Young Eunuch Wei did not dare to neglect him and said bitterly: "Marquis Guanjun is very ill, and there was no sign before!"

"Mr. Song said that the epidemic in the army had been under control before the New Year, and Marquis Guanjun was also fine at that time. But who knew that when the temperature rose the following year, Marquis Guanjun suddenly became ill!"

"He didn't expect it either!"

After returning from Mobei, epidemics occurred from time to time in the army, most of which originated from horses and livestock.

Actually.

More than half of the 140,000 horses that left the pass were lost, partly due to epidemics. Wei Qing ordered the infected livestock to be buried on the spot when they were outside the pass.

Not many soldiers were infected after entering the Pass.

In addition, Liu Ju had been keeping an eye on this matter from before the war to after it. As soon as the signs of epidemic appeared in the army, he dispatched many doctors from Bowang Garden.

While treating the soldiers in the army, he also examined the generals, among whom Huo Qubing was examined most thoroughly.

At that time.

Huo Qubing indeed had no symptoms of illness and was in good health, but how could he be said to be critically ill now?

"Where is the Champion Marquis now? Prepare the carriage!"

Young Eunuch Wei was startled by the prince's hasty pace and quickly shouted behind him, "No, no, no, you can't prepare the car. You can't go! Your Highness!"

"Su Wu! Prepare the car!"

Su Sheren always carried out the prince's orders to the utmost and never completed them tenfold. Wei Sheng, the prince's palace steward, could command other palace servants to obey his orders.

But he couldn't control Su Wu.

The prince's carriage drove out of the palace gate, then out of the Fu'ang Gate, and headed south towards Shanglin Garden. Halfway through the journey, he met Song Yi, Tang An and others who had come anxiously.

"I am incompetent!"

In the carriage, Song Yi felt ashamed and uneasy, and bent over to kowtow.

"There is no need to do this, Lord Song. Let's talk about the matter of Marquis Guanjun!" Liu Ju's face was solemn and he supported the other party slightly.

Song Yi also knew that this was not the time for empty formalities. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed, "I was careless for a moment and made a big mistake!"

"After the Champion Marquis fell ill, I went to the army and found that some of the soldiers who had followed the Champion Marquis out of the border had developed the same illness!"

"Upon further questioning..."

"Ugh!"

Song Yi's face was filled with remorse. He regretted that he discovered it too late and hated the Huns for their vicious methods.

During the Battle of Mobei, the water sources along the way were contaminated by the Huns' dead bodies and feces. Wei Qing's troops discovered the problem in a timely manner and dealt with it decisively.

Huo Qubing also discovered this, but he could not, like Wei Qing, ensure that every soldier had access to boiled water.

Huo Qubing's troops had no logistical supplies, and after entering the grassland, his soldiers were either fighting or marching rapidly on their way to fight.

Follow the authority in urgent matters.

Some soldiers drank unclean water...

At first, he didn't notice anything unusual. Even after returning to the Han Dynasty, he was still full of energy. He spent a winter and waited until the spring when the weather gradually warmed up.

The epidemic hidden in the human body showed its hideous face!

It is unknown whether Huo Qubing was infected in Mobei or after returning to Chang'an, and it doesn't matter now.

"When the Marquis of Guanjun fell ill, he was hunting with Your Majesty in Shanglin Garden, which is very close to Bowang Garden, and he urgently summoned me to see the doctor."

Tang An, who always liked to joke around, lost all his usual frivolity at this moment, and said solemnly:

"Guanjun Hou suddenly felt unwell while riding, but he held on until his hands and feet became weak and he fell off the horse, only then was he noticed by others."

"I only took a quick look, and then Your Majesty sent the Marquis of Guanjun to the palace in Shanglin Garden and summoned the imperial physician to treat him."

Say it.

There was a long silence in the car.

Liu Ju frowned, looking at the trees outside the car window quickly moving backwards. Everyone was speechless. After that, the prince's carriage had a smooth journey and sped towards Changyang Palace.

Outside Changyang Palace.

The place was in chaos at this moment. The emperor, dressed in tight clothes and with a gloomy expression, paced back and forth outside the hall.

With a creak, the palace door was pushed open, and three elderly medical officers walked out. Liu Che hurried forward and asked, "How is it?"

The eunuch standing beside him looked horrified and tried to block the emperor, but was pushed away by the emperor. "Get out!"

The eunuch Ling, who was pushed and staggered, did not dare to question Liu Che, but stared at the three medical officers who came out of the hall.

The three also knew the seriousness of the situation and did not approach the emperor.

A few feet away, the Imperial Physician sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Guanjun has been infected with pestilence. We are powerless to help him."

As he spoke, he shook his head.

"Nonsense!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Che's eyes were full of disbelief after hearing this, and he suddenly became furious, "The Champion Marquis was fine a few hours ago, but now he is not!?"

The chief physician looked embarrassed and tried to be tactful, "If we use medicine, we can delay the disease for a while, but medicine cannot cure fatal diseases. The Marquis of Guanjun has already been infected with pestilence..."

The implication is.

It's a fatal disease, there's no cure, the symptoms are real, maybe Champion Hou is still okay now, but sooner or later he will fail...

As the Chief Physician finished speaking, there was a slight commotion among the surrounding imperial guards. The eunuch was quick to support the emperor who was shaking.

At this moment, Liu Che's face turned pale, and he felt everything in front of him spinning.

How could this be?
but.

The daze and confusion lasted only for a moment. The next moment, Liu Che's pale face was suddenly filled with anger and murderous intent. He pointed at the three medical officers and roared loudly:

"Kill them! Kill these three quack doctors!"

"quick!"

The emperor was so angry that his whole body was shaking, while the chief imperial physician and the other two were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Before they could recover from their shocked gazes, the eunuch had already waved his hands.

The nearby imperial guards quickly stepped forward, dragged the three people away.

"Your Majesty! I am innocent!"

"I am wronged!"

When the prince's carriage arrived, he saw the scene of three heads falling to the ground. With a stern look on his face, Liu Ju and others walked quickly to the front of the hall.

The emperor was now breathing heavily, with a murderous look in his eyes. He put one hand on his waist and pointed diagonally with the other, ordering to summon the imperial physician again.

"Call again!"

"I don't believe it. The Imperial Hospital is full of quacks! They can't even save a champion marquis. What's the point of having them?!"

The emperor was furious. When the eunuch heard the news, he hurriedly ordered someone to do it. When he turned sideways, he saw the prince and the people behind him, and his face was overjoyed.

Before he could speak, Liu Ju stepped forward and said, "Father, I have brought several famous doctors with me. Please give it a try."

talking.

He took a step sideways, and when the emperor turned around, he happened to see Song Yi and others. The emperor did not recognize Song Yi and Tang An, but he knew Yi Shuo.

"Yi Gong!"

Without caring about anything else, Liu Che walked to Yi Shuo in three or two steps and said, "Marquis Guanjun has suddenly fallen ill. Please, Lord Yi, treat him."

Upon hearing this, Yi Shuo hurriedly returned the greeting and said that she dared not. She followed the prince here, naturally, to treat Marquis Guanjun.

After completing the ceremony, he made a gesture to enter the hall.

"Father, these two learned from Cang Gong!" At this time, Liu Ju mentioned the backgrounds of Song and Tang.

The emperor really stopped. Needless to say, when he looked over, Song Yi and Tang An bowed together and followed Yi Shuo into the hall.

There was another creaking sound.

The palace gate separates the inside and the outside.

As early as the pre-Qin period, there were measures to isolate people from epidemic diseases. In the late Western Han Dynasty, there was even a written decree: For people suffering from epidemic diseases, empty houses should be provided and medicine should be provided...

It was precisely because he knew how terrible the epidemic was that the eunuch had been trying to stand in front of the emperor.

however.

It was precisely because the emperor knew how terrible this kind of epidemic was that he lost his composure. When the medical officer said that Marquis Guanjun was incurable, he didn't believe it and would rather kill the medical officer than believe it!

But if you don't believe it, why would you kill people like trying to cover up your mistakes?

It comes down to it.

Deep down in his heart, the emperor still believed it. At this moment, his heart was twitching. He was trying to cover it up, trying desperately to cover it up!
Liu Che looked up at the sky. The sky was dark and terrifying near dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun made the sky as red as blood.

In the desolate night scene, an unwilling roar sounded—

"Is God trying to kill me, the champion?!"

The sky did not respond, but the people on earth did. The eunuch said in a sad voice, "Your Majesty, there are disciples of Lord Yi and Lord Cang here, so the Marquis of Guanjun will definitely be fine."

"You and the prince should return to the palace as soon as possible!"

Hear this.

The emperor seemed to suddenly realize something, and stared at Liu Ju beside him, saying in shock: "Who told you to stay here? Go back to the Crown Prince's Palace!"

Say it.

He looked at the palace servants and guards behind Liu Ju, with cruelty bursting out of his eyes, "Are you all a bunch of blind people? Why don't you send the prince back to the palace!"

Young Eunuch Wei's legs were trembling. He fell to his knees, crawled to Liu Ju's feet, pulled up his trouser legs, and begged in a trembling voice:

"Your Highness, leave quickly!"
