Chapter 50 – Oh, my God, I’m gonna die.

It turned out that Chen Shiyu to Shen Qiandu treatment of injuries, see the patient’s wound inflammation pus, fever does not go away, tonics and needles and stones are not helpful, the heart will be under the diagnosis of the ten deaths, can not bear to say out loud, only to try to do their best.

Unexpectedly, the patient’s fever subsided overnight, his body temperature stabilized, and his sanity returned to consciousness. And now but two or three days, the wound pus disappears, the inflammation convergence, the speed of injury improvement is really rare in life.

ChenShiYu fine surgery for many years, never seen such a miracle, then to the ShenFu underlings to inquire, said by thousand friends SuYanSu adults, with a kind of “penicillin” of the miracle medicine to save. He has nothing else in his life, only the apricot way to help the people, heard of such a miracle medicine, simply scratching his heart, can not help but come to the door of the Shen residence every day wandering, and finally gave him to see the Lord.

He pleaded with Su Yan to borrow the prescription to read it, and while saying so, he was ashamed and blamed himself–knowing that borrowing other people’s secret prescriptions was an ungrateful request, but he couldn’t help but want to know the secret of the divine medicine, so that it could be developed for the benefit of the people.

When Su Yan heard this, he was also ashamed.

He also knew how fatal wound infections were to the ancients, and sometimes just a small cut could kill a person. If penicillin can be brought to this era a few hundred years in advance, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will “benefit the people”.

This is the crystallization of human wisdom, one of the greatest inventions in the history of medicine, and it is impossible to monopolize it in his hands in public or private.

But he also had his own difficulties, and he could not make the refining method public today.

For one thing, the local method of refining penicillin had many impurities, a low success rate, and very harsh requirements for environmental disinfection, so even if you followed his method step by step, you might not be able to save someone’s life in the end. Shen Qi being saved was a fluke of a dead horse.

Secondly, other people may not be as lucky as him to obtain a sufficient portion of high-yield strains. If you want to mass-produce penicillin, you must first establish a relatively mature strain cultivation laboratory, which requires the support of other science and technology, and is not something that can be accomplished by an individual.

In those years, during the war, officials studying abroad imported three strains of Penicillium species from abroad for cultivation, and it took a lot of hard work to produce the first 50,000 units of bottles of penicillin, each drop of which was more precious than gold.

Right now, in this day and age, industrial mass production is not always possible, even with the best efforts of the nation.

In this case, handing over the formula so easily would be irresponsible to human life.

Su Yan did his best to convey his thoughts and ideas to Chen Shiyu in a way that the ancient people could accept the rhetoric.

The old man was disappointed and frustrated to hear this, but still sincerely thanked Lord Su for being willing to explain so much to him.

He was prepared to offend the court officials, to be reprimanded and expelled, and even arrested and imprisoned, but he did not want Lord Su to be so easy-going and speak from the heart, which made him very touched, and therefore realized that what Lord Su said was not a pretext, but that there were indeed great difficulties in the production of this kind of medicine.

Finally, Chen Shiyu bowed to the end and said, “I hope that one day, Lord Su will be able to mass-produce this medicine for the benefit of the world.”

How could Su Yan not hope for this day to come, arching his hand he returned, “This official will do his best with the lives of the people in mind.”

He boarded the car and left, Chen Shiyu looked at the faraway carriage and sighed with sadness, “Being in possession of a divine formula for healing the world, but being confined to the confines of the secular world and unable to show it to the people, does it really fulfill the saying that heaven’s secret cannot be divulged?”

The medicine boy beside him asked in confusion, “Could it be that this medicine comes from the Heavenly Court, and he will be condemned by Heaven if he divulges it?”

Chen Shiyu regretfully shook his head, in the end the heart still can not let go, so he said, “child, and then accompany the teacher to walk.”

“Where is Master going again?”

“Seek out an honorable man. If he is willing to help, perhaps the ‘strain cultivation’ and ‘extraction technology’ mentioned by Lord Su, which requires selecting ‘material’ talents throughout the country and investing a great deal of financial and material resources, may still have a hope of being realized. There may still be a hope of realizing it.”

–

Su Yan rushed to the Da Lisi, the day is nearly noon.

Yesterday arranged to go down the officials were not lazy, has been in the clerical room each according to a case, the foot side of the large wooden box after the opening of the serious comparison of the evidence and information within the division of labor, the suspected person’s information and the focus of the incident involved in the transcription of the case.

He toured the circle, respectively, mention a few sentences, but no more serious business, just waiting for five or seven days later out of the milestones.

It would take at least ten days to sort out the case files of the Imperial Prison. In the end, it would take another seven or eight days to ask Shen Qi to help check, investigate and interrogate on the spot, finalize the final list, and write a detailed report. Calculating like this, it would take at least a month to finish this errand.

Although slower than expected, but there is an advantage – such a comprehensive, systematic investigation, not only to catch the “Feng party” so simple, otherwise he only need to order the Feng go evil and his inner circle of torture, the same can get the list.

This is in fact the entire jinyiwei in the high-level officials of a big cleaning, wash away those who have been evil, the dregs of the power, leaving relatively loyal and upright, for the country and the people to do practical things seed. And then sow these seeds to the right position, hold up a new system framework, and finally from the bottom of the selection of talent, screening fill. Let the Jin Yi Wei this bloody and dark oddball of the Ming Dynasty to revitalize, become the hands of the son of heaven to rule the country, rather than only the poisonous edge of the party to fight against differences.

This is what Su Yan wants to achieve by purging the “Feng Party”.

Su Yan sat in the lobby of the master chair to clear his mind, just finished drinking a cup of six melon slices, then see a few Da Lisi Temple Minister and Temple, all the way to blowing accompanied by a smile, clustered in a python robe wearing eunuchs to come in.

“Yo, Lord Su, drinking tea? No need to get up, sit down, come and pour us a cup as well.”

Lan Xi picked Su Yan hand side of the eunuch chair to sit down, and commanded the rest of the people: “Our family and Su adults chat business, you do not have to accompany.”

Hall clearing the scene, Su Yan side to the blue Xi poured tea, said: “Uncle in charge of the Secretary, day-to-day management, the Palace of large and small things a moment can not be away from Uncle, why bother to go out of the Palace to run around and labor, in person to the Da Lisi. Need to ask about the progress of the case, or access to what information, order a command, my nephew sent is.”

Lan Xi sipping tea, the mood seems to be good, “After all, we have received a supervisor’s errand, can not be on the wall ah. This is not, worried about your hard work in this case, to see what needs help.”

Su Yan did not politely thank him, just as if he was really one of his own clan uncle, smiled and said: “At present, it is still smooth. If you need to coordinate with Uncle Shih in the future, my nephew will come to ask for it.”

Blue happy to see his demeanor dashing, speech pleasing, more and more to see the eyes, the heart really have a few points when it is their own son or nephew, and remembered the purpose of the trip, said: “Uncle to catch up with you and your family, this hall is inconvenient to people, go, find a quiet room to talk.”

Su Yan was a bit surprised, on second thought, this situation should be a private matter to explain, or what important points to him, then gladly got up, and welcomed Lan Xi into a quiet room.

Two people sat down face to face, a new pot of Wuyi Dahongpao, blue Xi sniffing tea, lamented: “or our hometown tea loved ones ah! If it is not the palace in the mundane affairs of the body, I would like to sue the old man to return to his hometown, only to the forest under the spring to get away from the day.”

Su Yan does not believe that this big eunuch is willing to put down the power and authority to go home to retire, immediately laughed: “Uncle jokes, life is forty years old is the time of the rich and strong. Besides, the emperor can not leave you which.”

Blue happy to go around, see him finally mentioned the emperor, only then said: “the emperor can not leave our family, precisely because I can guess what he thinks of desire, is not before and you said, ‘guessing the holy will’ four words it.” Said the eyebrow color of worry.

Su Yan asked, “What kind of difficult matter has Uncle Shi encountered?”

Lan Xi said: “Not me, but the emperor has something in mind. This heart matter is difficult to relieve, for a long time, the dragon body is uneasy, in the country in the people are also very unfavorable ah!”

“His Majesty has something on his mind? Is it because the Yellow River is flooded, Shanxi, Shandong and Henan are plagued by horse thieves, or the Tartars in the north are coming back to plunder after spring?” Su Yan counted and felt that these should be the three major events that Emperor Jing Long had the biggest headache.

Lan Xi shook his head repeatedly, “These national events, naturally, there are civil and military ministers to share the Emperor’s worries, but the Emperor’s immediate concerns, the only one who can share the Emperor’s worries is you, Xian Nephew.”

Su Yan blinked at him, seemingly unsure of what he meant.

Lan Xi smiled and patted the back of the young man’s hand: “From the day of the Imperial Examination to the present, you have been successful in everything, step by step, even if the disaster is approaching, but also in time to be able to eliminate, is the grace of the person who has to bear it, you do not have a number in your heart?”

Su Yan replied, “My nephew knows that the imperial grace is immense, as a human subject should be loyal to his duty, and break his bones to repay the heavenly grace.”

Lan Xi was a bit helpless, thinking that such a smart and clever child, how could he not be enlightened on this point.

He hated the iron and said, “Do what to pulverize! Are you going to clean up the horse thieves, or are you going to fight the Tartars? Don’t you understand, the Emperor has taken a liking to you, this is a blessing that you’ve cultivated over several lifetimes.”

Su Yan blinked again, finally figured out the flavor of the subterfuge, almost alarmed: “Look, look on! What does he see in me? I’m a good talker and a hard worker, right? I’d like to trouble Uncle Shiyi to tell His Majesty that I’m grateful for His Majesty’s appreciation, and that I’ll definitely do my best and die before I die!”

Lan Xi was a bit annoyed and poked his forehead with her finger: ”What’s the point of pretending to be confused when you’re trying to figure out what’s going on! Do we need to say this kind of thing explicitly? The Emperor is very smart and generous, and he treats his servants with warmth and consideration, so what is it that you don’t like about him? If not, you can just consider yourself to have found the most honorable brother in the whole world, what’s wrong with that?”

“No, I mean, I mean ……” Su Yan was over shocked and somewhat incoherent, “In my impression, he shouldn’t be this kind of person!”

“Daring! Who is the Emperor? The True Dragon Son of Heaven! What he is or isn’t, are all nine to five high up, how is it up to you to comment on it! If this word gets out, do you, Su Qinghe, still want to lose your head?”

Being blue happy so sternly a scare, Su Yan instead calm down, thought: Jinglong emperor is the history book stamped Mingjun, will not be on the subject of what absurd ideas, he is not Yu Wang! Besides, according to their own understanding of the emperor, also did not find that he has a dragon Yang good ah, that Wei Guifei did not just give him a son? It must be the blue happy this dead eunuch without eyesight rushed to slip, will be the wrong meaning!

Thinking so, he was slightly calm, raised his sleeve to print the cold sweat on his forehead, and replied in a rather hard-headed manner: “Uncle, this ‘speculate on the Holy Spirit’, speculate on the right and still have to hide the bamboo in the heart, and think of ways to do it without moving; but in case of speculation wrong, I’m afraid that it will lead to a fire, but instead, it will make the superior person’s heart jealous.

“My nephew thinks, this matter may not be as uncle said, must be a misunderstanding. The emperor and nephew if you can be appropriate, in private and public, in you and I are a good thing, uncle and why cause trouble in vain, effect that ‘chicken ribs’ move?”

Lan Xi can be in charge of the Secretary, naturally, is also in the palace of the chamberlain school read the book, know “chicken ribs” allusion, Yang Xiu if you do not rely on the talent of the open, presumptuous speculation Cao Cao’s mind, and publicized, in order to show their ability, but also not to be unbearable Cao Cao decapitated.

He was Su Yan some even knocked with persuasion of the “advice”, blocked speechless, the bottom of the heart of the vicious anger, both annoyed that the other party does not know how to be good, but also remembered to hate the other side of the words disrespectful, in any case, no matter what is not his fault.

Su Yan thought: since ancient times, eunuchs are often psychopathic due to physical disabilities, most of the narrow-minded, acting paranoid. If I do not refute him face to face today, only perfunctory, there is no guarantee that he will come back one day to pimp, or even directly tie me to the dragon bed. I still have to make it clear. As a straight man, the protection of chrysanthemum is a big deal, rather die than stirring up the base, even if this offends the power eunuch, but also can not care.

So sighed, earnestly said: “Uncle! It’s not that my nephew doesn’t know how to honor me, but this kind of fact is hard to accept, in the emperor’s holy name is tainted, in me is the five thunderbolts, in the uncle, and what good is it to you? I will not die to serve people with color, why don’t we just pretend that these words have never been said today, and let it go with the wind!”

After all, blue happy in the palace immersed for many years, a moment of emotional leakage also quickly convergence, even if the heart is not happy, face can still bring out a few points of false smile: “We are just casually mentioned, lest you one day offended the emperor, but also do not know because of what to see the crime. Since you have no intention of doing so, or even resisting, we can still force you to do so. In a word, good fortune and bad luck, take care of yourself.”

With a flick of his duster’s stag, he walked away with his hand in his sleeve.

Cheap uncle and nephew of the talk was not happy, Su Yan is also very helpless: no wonder all generations of civil officials hate eunuchs to death, do not have the cheek, no bottom line, in order to serve the emperor what tricks can be made out. No wonder the emperors throughout the ages have been inseparable from the eunuchs, you want a one, they can give you the whole ten, trying to find ways to cast you in the right place, picking the stars and offering the moon to please you, how well-informed and interested.

Now he only hope, blue happy is really will wrong intention, self initiative to pull this pimp, otherwise …… let him next time how to face the emperor ah?

Recalling the previous scene where he had twice stripped the emperor’s thighs and wailing and crying in order to achieve his goal, Su Yan covered his face with the palm of his hand and finally felt ashamed after (conscience) (heart) (hair).

He remembered that the Emperor had touched his face, rubbed the back of his head, and pinched his earlobe-just those two times!

If this is some kind of only hint and signal ……

Su Yan shivered violently: omigod I’m going to die!
