Chapter 740 Eager for quick success

Emperor Qianwu saw Song Tingshan among the officials and he looked normal. When the court officials discussed how to deal with the epidemic, Emperor Qianwu gave the letter brought by Tutor Wang to several important officials for circulation.

Qin Xiang and the others nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I don't know who this Master Mingde is, but it can be seen that he has real talent and knowledge."

"Yes, I think several of the proposals are feasible and the cost is manageable."

Seeing that the group was full of praise for the proposal on the letter, Song Tingshan felt a little anxious.

Why has Your Majesty never mentioned his memorial until now?

Although he wrote the memorial in a hurry, he thought it was meaningful. He even discussed some novel strategies with the two gentlemen. Why...

Also, it’s this Mr. Mingde again.

Who is this person who is playing tricks behind the scenes?

Song Tingshan couldn't help wanting to borrow the letter to take a look, but his seat was too far back and he was not qualified.

So no matter how anxious you are, you can only wait.

Unfortunately, Emperor Qianwu now has a bad impression of Song Tingshan, and does not have much affection for him even though he is his own son.

After all, the royal families of the Daqian Dynasty had many descendants and were not short of offspring.

Song Tingshan was anxious, but he couldn't hold it in. After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have some opinions about the epidemic."

Emperor Qianwu looked at him and asked, "Are the strategies you proposed the same as those written in the memorial last night?"

Song Tingshan nodded: "Your Majesty, yes."

Emperor Qianwu said, "You have a good idea, but you think the treatment of the epidemic is too simple."

After saying this, Emperor Qianwu did not want to say more. He just took out the memorial and asked Wang Xi to hand it to the court officials below and let them speak.

After Qin Xiang and the others took it and read it carefully, they couldn't help but say, "Prince Song has a sincere heart, but he really thinks too simply."

"For example, here, we set up an epidemic center and isolate all those who are sick with the epidemic in single rooms. Prince, have you ever thought that the epidemic spreads very quickly and fiercely. If everyone is separated by single rooms, how much money will the court need to allocate, and how can so many single rooms be put into use quickly in a short period of time?"

"Yes, and there are more. For example, if the person here cannot be treated, he should be dealt with as soon as possible. I wonder what the prince means by dealing with it? If you want to kill the person, I am afraid that it will affect your majesty's reputation and make the people feel disappointed with the court!"

"It is not appropriate to distribute the decoctions according to the rules and regulations every day, and to punish those who refuse to take them."

"That's right. Right now, we are facing internal and external troubles, people are panicking, and the people are uneasy. Using criminal law to force them at this time is not a good idea..."

Wang Taifu couldn't help but say, "So I think Master Mingde's method is more practical and his thinking is clearer."

"That's right. On the one hand, we will blockade and treat the areas where the epidemic has occurred. On the other hand, we will distribute decoctions to the surrounding areas, and then distribute herbal sachets to the cities that have spread outward."

"At the same time, we should appease the people, set up epidemic centers and benefit pharmacies, strengthen the education of the people, and publicize the symptoms and treatment methods of the epidemic."

"Indeed, not only that, Master Mingde's words are even more detailed and well implemented, including the handling of corpses, fumigation of epidemic sites, and the comfort of the people. They are all reasonable and detailed."

Listening to the words of several old ministers, Song Tingshan's fingers hanging in his sleeves clenched tightly involuntarily.

Why is this happening?

Where on earth did this Mingde come from?

I wanted to leave a good impression in front of His Majesty and the court officials, but now I have failed miserably. It is really... hateful!

Song Tingshan really didn't understand why he had been successful before, but now he was having a hard time and encountering obstacles at every step.

Emperor Qianwu noticed the reactions of the people below and said immediately: "Although these measures still need to be improved, Song Tingshan is ill but still cares about the people's livelihood. This spirit is worthy of your emulation."

"Yes."

The group nodded in agreement to Emperor Qianwu, but Duke Chengguo's expression did not look so good.

After all, he really doesn't understand what his son is trying to do.

He had just been beaten with a few boards, but he turned around and ran to His Majesty to seek favor. I really don't know what to say.

Logically speaking, he had just caused the incident involving Princess Hanyang, so it would be best to do nothing at this time and stay out of the spotlight for the time being.

But even he understands the truth, but he chose to speak out at this time. Is he looking for death?

Song Hua'an also couldn't understand it. With Song Tingshan's frail body, it was uncertain how many years he could live. How could he still have the energy to deal with so many things happening now?

Really restless!

After the court was dismissed, Song Tingshan sat in the carriage with a gloomy face.

He looked out the window at the Wenren Sect: "Can't you find out the origins of that Master Mingde?"

If such a person cannot be used for your own benefit, the best way is to kill him.

Wen Renzong shook his head: "There are no clues. Every time Wang Taifu received a letter, it was thrown into the car by someone. Even Wang Taifu didn't know where this person came from. We really have no way to investigate..."

As the carriage passed the road, it happened to pass by Shen Shuyi's carriage.

Song Tingshan could not help but look at the carriage. It was luxurious, as was the custom for princesses nowadays. However, the curtain was drawn and the girl inside could not be seen.

Song Tingshan's eyes were gloomy. Why did he marry her in his dream?

The carriage disappeared from sight. Song Tingshan lowered the curtain and said in a deep voice, "Go check where she went."

"Yes."

Song Tingshan leaned back in the car and closed his eyes to rest, knowing that the impression he had left in Emperor Qianwu's mind would probably be ruined again.

Although His Majesty had praised him at the morning court today, in the eyes of the emperor and his good ministers, he was not insisting on attending the court despite being ill, but was just seeking quick success and instant benefits.

Song Tingshan couldn't help thinking, if he had such a good reputation in the past, and now he insisted on going to court with injuries, others would definitely think that he was diligent and kind, but now...

Why was everything getting worse and worse and it was totally out of his control.

Half an hour later, Shen Shuyi and Shen Shuhan appeared in front of the Zhou family mansion.

Zhou Qiwen's second uncle Zhou Shida has now separated from the Zhou family. Because of the small population, the house is not very big.

However, because he does not value fame or wealth and does not like luxury, the yard, although small, is quiet, elegant, peaceful and harmonious.

Shen Shuyi had already sent a visiting card, because Zhou Qiwen's jade pendant was a stepping stone to enter the Zhou family.

However, whether he can successfully become Zhou Shida's disciple depends on his brother's luck.

Shen Shuyi once sent someone to investigate and found that the ideas of governance and the way of being an official advocated by Zhou Shida and Wang Taifu were not the same. She once believed that one should stick to one idea.

But now, she no longer thinks so.

The knowledge and principles of the world are both interconnected and unconnected. The world's affairs and political situations are unpredictable. We should learn from the strengths of all schools of thought, understand the changes of the past and present, draw on the strengths of all, change with the times, and adapt to local conditions.

This is the most beneficial.
