Chapter 158 Exile Cannon Fodder Father 6
The next day.
At 4:15 am, the morning drum sounds and the curfew is lifted.
As a newly promoted scholar-official, Jing Cheng arrived at the gate early in the morning, energetic and waiting in the carriage.
As soon as the morning drum sounded, the servants immediately and swiftly opened the main door.
I dare not delay the master's business!
The driver raised his hand and cracked the whip in the air with a skilled snap.
With just a crisp sound, the carriage quickly went out of the main gate and headed straight for the Shuchang Hall of the Hanlin Academy.
Yes, that’s right, it’s going to the Hanlin Academy, not to the court.
In this dynasty, after passing the imperial examination, the top three candidates would directly enter the Hanlin Academy.
For others, young and outstanding ones were selected and given the title of Shujishi, to study in the Shuchangguan of the Hanlin Academy.
Three years later, there would be an imperial examination. Those who passed the examination would be promoted to become the emperor's close ministers, while those who were incompetent would be sent to serve as officials outside the capital.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Shujishi was only a reserve official, not a formal official position.
Therefore, Shuji clan had no qualifications to attend court and participate in government affairs on a daily basis.
That is to say, only on the first and fifteenth day of each month during the grand court meetings would one have the good fortune to gather in number and sign in at the square outside the Golden Throne Hall.
Ever since he married Xie Yunran, he has been connected with the powerful Xie family in the capital.
Since then, Jing Cheng has become more popular in Shuchangguan.
As usual, he carried two large food boxes into the side hall of the Shuchang Hall.
As soon as he saw his good friend who had arrived earlier and also came from a poor family, he started shouting exaggeratedly.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Li, good morning, come and help, the water is sinking."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang immediately stood up, took two steps forward, took the food box, and spoke loudly.
"Ziyuan is here!
What delicious food did your sister-in-law prepare today?"
"Open it and take a look, then you'll know, right?
These are just daily meals, please don’t be disgusted, my dear friends.”
Among the three, Li Weixian, the oldest, also spoke at this time:
"These days, thanks to Ziyuan, your sister-in-law said yesterday that I have gained several pounds in more than half a month."
"No, if I have to thank you, then I would like to thank you two for your care."
The three of them smiled at each other, the deep meaning of which needed no words.
Those who are fortunate enough to become like-minded friends are all people of good character, self-discipline, and clean homes.
……
After the meal, he put the bowl and chopsticks into the food box and handed it to the coachman waiting at the door of Shuchang Hall. Then he hurried into the main hall of Shuchang Hall and came to his desk.
Add water, grind ink, and spread paper.
All work and ready.
He straightened his sleeves and began today's homework, copying the imperial edicts of the previous dynasty.
He rubbed his wrists.
Before I knew it, an hour had passed.
Outside the window, it was already bright.
He copied for about a cup of tea. Zhang Zhengzhi, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy who was in charge of teaching a new batch of scholars and drafting imperial edicts, came straight here after the court session.
Very good, no one was absent and the attitude was pretty good.
He then went around behind everyone and checked the copied imperial edicts one by one.
He stroked his beard and nodded with great satisfaction.
Until he turned around and looked towards Jingcheng.
hiss!
He was so frightened that he pulled out three of his whiskers.
In the middle of winter, it would have been fine if I had just a face full of sweat, but my face was actually covered with red pimples.
Ugh, disgusting!
It's an eyesore, really an eyesore!
If the emperor saw it by accident, the scene would be so beautiful that I dare not even think about it.
It is commendable that you go on duty despite being sick, but it depends on the occasion and place, right?
If the emperor is in a good mood, he may think that having such officials is a blessing for the court and the people.
If you are in a bad mood, it is hard to say what will happen.
You might even lose your head.
Brother Xie just married off his daughter, and it would be bad for him to become a widow right after the wedding.
Thinking of this, he immediately shouted, "Jingcheng!"
The room was originally quiet, but suddenly there was a loud shout, causing everyone to look towards Jing Cheng, and then they all gasped at the same time.
Master Zhang spoke so harshly that Jing Cheng swallowed nervously, thinking that he had done something wrong. He forced himself to remain calm and stood up to salute.
"Student Jing Cheng, meet... meet... meet..."
His voice was hoarse, and in the end, he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Cui Huji, who came from a century-old family, the Cui family of Boling, stood up and bowed with a serious look on his face.
"Sir, in my humble opinion, Jingcheng seems to be suffering from a mental illness.
This disease is as dangerous as the plague.
It’s okay if it’s not…”
The unfinished words are self-evident.
If it really is smallpox, and it spreads if we're not careful, not only will the entire Jingcheng clan be in danger, but anyone present will also lose their official position if they're guilty of negligence.
Zhang Zhengzhi naturally knew how serious the amnesia was.
“Jingcheng, you stay here first, and the rest of you follow me to the side hall.
The Shuchang Hall is closed, and only patients can enter but not leave, until the Imperial Hospital gives a definite diagnosis and treatment result. "
After saying this, Zhang Zhengyi flicked his sleeves and left quickly.
Everyone saw this and quickly followed.
Zhang Liang and Li Weixin were the last to fall behind. They silently said "take care" and hurriedly left with the crowd.
Looking at the empty hall, Jing Cheng felt a little confused!
I was just wondering when my voice started to become hoarse?
He didn't feel anything, was he feeling unwell?
[Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was cheerful and kept his achievements and fame to himself.
In the previous apocalyptic dimension, a newly developed medicine was developed to improve the physical fitness of ordinary people. Let’s learn about it.
The clinical effect is very good and the side effects are also very good.
Well, it's just red bumps all over my body for a week.
There is no pus, just a little itchy, and as long as you don't scratch too hard, it won't leave scars.
I bought it originally just in case. If I become sick one day, it will come in handy.
At this moment, even though it hurts a bit to give it to my adopted son, it’s not a waste, right?
After all, it’s all for the purpose of completing the task better.]
The back of my hand felt itchy, so I rubbed it hard.
He was just... hehe... newlyweds, and he made too much noise at night, so he caught a cold.
How did it get involved in the funny thing?
Huh? Why does my face feel a little itchy?
Raise your hand and touch it!
His eyes immediately widened!
"Ah~~~ah~~~ah~~~"
I was shocked and terrified. I wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound, which made me even more terrified.
It's over, it's over now.
God is unfair!
After ten years of hard study, he just got married?
His legs went limp and he slumped in the chair with a dead look on his face.
I felt disheartened, yet also somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, I was busy copying imperial edicts in the morning and had no time to drink a few sips of tea. My stomach was empty and I didn't feel like urinating at all.
Otherwise, I'm afraid even death would be undignified.
……
When the young eunuch ran to the Qinzheng Hall, sweating profusely, Emperor Jianyang was discussing New Year matters with his sons. The atmosphere was harmonious.
Upon receiving such shocking news, Eunuch Jiang did not dare to delay and walked into the palace.
"Why are you so flustered? Didn't you say you don't want to be disturbed?"
"Reporting to His Majesty, there is a suspected outbreak of smallpox in the Imperial Academy's Shuchang Hall. Lord Zhang has ordered the hall to be sealed and people are not allowed to enter or leave.
Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."
Emperor Jianyang's brows furrowed and his aura suddenly changed.
"Tang Zheng, the judge of the Xuanyuan Court, ordered all the doctors on duty at the Imperial Hospital to go to the Shuchang Hall to treat patients.
Lao Si, you should handle this matter yourself."
"I obey your command."
Seeing the Fourth Prince leave in a hurry, everyone had different thoughts.
The prince's eyes flickered slightly, and the fourth brother moved closer to him.
Smallpox is a very dangerous disease, and my father was willing to do it just to teach him a lesson.
……
Court Judge Tang Zheng, the emperor's personal physician, was currently waiting in a side hall of the Qinzheng Palace, waiting to be summoned to take the emperor's daily pulse check.
When Tang Zheng heard about smallpox, he thought to himself that he was in trouble. He immediately picked up the medicine box and followed Eunuch Jiang into the main hall.
Only after taking the pulse of the emperor and the princes one by one did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, he followed Eunuch Jiang in a hurry to Shuchangguan.
Of course, as the chief eunuch of Emperor Jianyang, Eunuch Jiang did not need to put himself in danger.
Like the Fourth Prince, he was waiting anxiously outside the Shuchang Pavilion.
Tang Zheng was wearing a face mask, with his right hand on Jing Cheng's pulse, not moving for a full quarter of an hour.
His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, a disease he had never seen before!
The body is covered with lumps, which appear to be similar to acne, but the underlying condition is completely different.
The pulse is strong and the patient is in perfect health.
It’s really strange, weird and wonderful!
Then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes stared at Jing Cheng with unusually fiery intensity, as if he had seen a stunning beauty.
……
A quarter of an hour later, the fourth prince Li Chengxu entered the Qinzheng Hall holding the pulse case and with a happy face.
Emperor Jianyang read it immediately.
It's not acne, it's not contagious, good, good, good.
Ok?
The pulse is strong and healthy, and you suspect that your body is detoxifying?
After the red sores disappear, there is a 90% chance that your physical condition will undergo a qualitative leap?
Could you please give me a try with blood sampling?
Emperor Jianyang tapped the table with his fingers and asked casually, "Who is from Jingcheng?"
Li Chengxu immediately reported what he had found out about Jing Cheng's life.
