Powerful

Chapter 385
(Second update!)

Cheng Dachang was stunned when he heard it, and it took a while before he came back to his senses.He half-closed his eyes and looked at Shen Du, even sobered up a lot from the wine.

The man in front of him, only in his twenties, can say "I am willing to spend my whole life to keep Dading's current peace." Thinking of Shen Du's actions during the Runzhou epidemic, he couldn't suppress the emotion in his heart. shock.

Cheng Dachang and Zheng Shiyong are about the same age, and they are over 60 years old this year.He was born as a Jinshi and was an official. It took him nearly 40 years to start from the state department.

In the past 40 years, the Battle of Yong'an and the Rebellion of the Two Kings occurred in Dading. Although he did not experience it personally, he was deeply affected by these turmoil. How much blood, how many bones are buried.

Poor Guanshan Wanli Road, there are many autumn grasses in the battle bones every year. This is not only a poem described by the poet, but also a real scene that once appeared in Dading.

However, no matter he was young and passionate in the past, or he is old and introverted now, he never had the courage and belief to hold on to peace.

But the young man in front of him has it!And, those guts and convictions are being put into action. ——It can be seen from the Runzhou epidemic this time.

This... silenced him.

What should he say in front of such a young man?What can he say?
He could only silently take the jug and pour a glass of wine for Shen Du to express his mood.

Afterwards, he said in a hoarse voice: "You are still young, and you have not seen what it was like during the war with your own eyes. Even this officer has not been to the battlefield in person, but I have seen the soldiers who survived the battlefield. I have seen people who have experienced wars and turmoil..."

The sage said it right: where the king's teacher passes, thorns will grow; after the army passes, there must be a bad year.Therefore, the state and the court should use the weapon with caution.

He has experienced wars and chaos, and he knows the rareness of peace.But how could this young man in front of him know better than him?
Shen Du sat quietly, as if he didn't notice Cheng Dachang's sizing up.

The other two people have already talked along the topic of Cheng Dachang.

Gu Jitang was on the right side of Cheng Dachang. He also drank a lot and was a little drunk. He didn't notice Cheng Dachang's complicated mood, and his thoughts were a little slow. He still stayed in the battle of Pingcheng and said intermittently: "If it is I... I will do everything I can to stop Dasheng soldiers like the former officials did. Even if... innocent people will die."

His words won Lu Juan's approval.Lu Juan's essence is still an idealistic literati, he believes and agrees with the principle of sacrificing one's life for righteousness, haha, killing one person to save a hundred.

Therefore, he also said: "In such a difficult and dangerous situation, no matter what you do, it is to protect the country and protect more people. Don't say that you are a person who is a victim of the epidemic, even if it is more excessive, you have to do it."

Although Gu Jitang and Lu Juan didn't say it clearly, they have made their choice very clearly.That is what they agreed with the former officials.In order to keep more people alive, sacrifices are inevitable.

There is no peace without bloodshed, nor pure stability.

After hearing these words, Shen Du frowned, but said nothing.

Maybe they are all right. For the sake of peace and for more people to live, many things that happen on this land can be accepted and tolerated.

However, he still hopes in his heart that within Dading, Master Wang only needs to be in the sixteen guards of the Nine Mansions, and does not use the evil year.
Thinking of this, the faith in his heart has been strengthened. This Runzhou epidemic is another temper for him.After seeing the patients of the Runzhou epidemic with his own eyes, and feeling the people's desire for survival, his already clear belief became more firm.

If you persist like this, you will one day be able to achieve perfection, and this belief will eventually be indestructible.

Cheng Dachang looked at the quiet Shen Du, raised the jug in his hand, and poured all the wine in the jug into his mouth.

The pandemic is over and the country is at peace, so it's time to be drunk, isn't it?
With the efforts of Zhong Qi, Imperial Physician Hu and others, the epidemic situation in the county lord's mansion is getting better.Now, the people of Runzhou all know that there is a genius doctor Zhong Qi, and it was he and the imperial physicians who came up with the prescription to prevent the epidemic and save the people of Runzhou.

For a time, the people of Runzhou had the joy of surviving after the catastrophe.People are gradually daring to go out. Although Runzhou City is still calm, it is slowly recovering.

The joyful people, the first thing they did was set up a longevity tablet for Zhong Qi, thanking him for saving so many people in Runzhou.At the same time, under the guidance of Runzhou officials, the people were extremely grateful to the emperor, saying "the emperor's grace is mighty, and God blesses Runzhou"...

To this, Shen Du and Cheng Dachang both smiled and acquiesced.The city of Runzhou in this matter needs encouragement, and the existence of the genius doctor Zhong Qi is the best spiritual support.Moreover, a miracle doctor is only in terms of medical skills, even if Zhong won the support of the people again, it doesn't matter. ——The imperial court can rest assured.

At this moment, Zhong Qi, who is loved by the people of Runzhou and known as a genius doctor, found Shen Du alone, and asked full of worry: "Master Shen, how is Mr. Shen's health?"

Zhong Qi, who has always been ignorant of the world, rarely cares about the situation of Jing Zhao Shen Su.No matter how foolish he is, he still knows how he got the title of "miracle doctor", so he is very grateful to Shen Du.

Thinking of Shen Su's body, Zhong Qi's expression darkened—it's just that he was in a mess, and the change in his face couldn't be seen.

"Father's health is not bad, Mr. Zhang is taking care of him." Shen Du replied, smiling.

"However, Mr. Shen's health is not optimistic, he won't live for three years..." Zhong Qi mumbled, but suddenly realized that he shouldn't have said these words, it was too unlucky!

"It's okay, I know, and I'm prepared." Shen Du replied, still smiling, as if he didn't care about Zhong Qi's words. ——It would be more convincing if it wasn't for the condensed smile.

Zhong Qi didn't know what to say anymore, he said a few words casually, and fled away.

Only Shen Du was left, and after a long time of contemplation, his expression returned to normal, as if he hadn't heard anything.

The Runzhou epidemic was gradually resolved, and the burden on Shen Du's shoulders became much easier. He also accepted Gu Jitang's invitation and planned to visit Runzhou City.
The last time Zhong Qi was urgently invited to Jingzhao, and this time there was a major epidemic in Runzhou, he was in a hurry and flustered both times, and he couldn't take a good look at the city of Runzhou.

This time, his plan still failed.Just when he was about to leave the Runzhou government office, Sisui, who rushed from Jingzhao at the fastest speed, came to Runzhou City, and asked Shen Du to return to Jingzhao immediately.

Jingzhao, something happened.

(Extra-chapter: Two updates! I still have more ideas, and I use their mouths to express my views on the war. I am a little sad to write these two chapters. There will be two updates tonight, and I will try to write more tomorrow weekend.)
