Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 14 Queen Ma: Send Lan Yu and Li Jinglong down

"What kind of medicine is this medicine? Why is it so effective?"

At this moment, Queen Ma felt that although her throat and lungs were still itchy and she had the urge to cough, the previous feeling of needle-pricking and burning in her lungs was gone, and she no longer had a high fever and felt weak.

It’s no wonder that anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and antipyretics were impossible for people in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, bacteria do not have the kind of drug resistance that is inherited from generation to generation like in modern humans, so the drug can be 100% effective.

Although Queen Ma was very ill at this time, she was still within the limit of what medicine could control. If the fever continued for a few more days and the inflammation spread to the entire lungs, it would not be something that could be solved by medicine.

"Since our eldest grandson got this medicine, it must be somewhat magical."

Zhu Yuanzhang took out the tablets and looked at them carefully. It was dark in the middle of the night. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a little presbyopic, and he was anxious about Queen Ma's condition, so he didn't look carefully. But now he looked carefully and found that behind the tablets was actually There are words.

However, although these characters seemed to be Chinese characters, some strokes were simplified. As for what they meant when connected, he couldn't understand it at all.

"Perhaps this is the word on the other end?"

Empress Ma was knowledgeable. She looked at it and analyzed it: "It's possible that there were big seal script and small seal script in the pre-Qin Dynasty, and official script in the Qin and Han Dynasties. From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, regular script became popular, and the strokes became gradually simpler, and the fonts on that end, I think It is indeed possible to be simpler than ours."

Zhu Yuanzhang thoughtfully said: "In this way, our Ming Dynasty's current fonts also have room for simplification."

Empress Ma tactfully advised: "But this matter concerns scholars all over the world, so it's not easy to do it rashly."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly. This is inevitable. The evolution of fonts generally takes hundreds of years of development. Considering the current communication conditions of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to rashly implement a new font in just a few years, let alone the world How long does it take for scholars to overthrow their habits and start over, so that they can correctly use new fonts when writing articles and taking exams? Those piles of official documents, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of grassroots officials, are estimated to have been chaotic for many years. Instead, because of this Give birth to more trouble.

And the most important thing is that in this era, reading and literacy is the privilege of a small number of people. Therefore, the higher the "threshold", the better. If the font is easy to learn and write, it will lower the "threshold" for entering the gentry class. Threshold", arousing strong opposition from vested interests and an overwhelming wave of public opinion.

As the saying goes, "Never forget the past is the guide for the future." When Wang Mang was reorganizing, he did these similar fancy things, which ended in disgrace. For a rational ruler, compared with the consequences brought by the simplification of fonts, Convenience brings much more trouble, so there is little incentive to carry out such reforms unless font simplification can form an inevitable causal link with other important things.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang looked behind the next few pills.

But although he couldn't understand anything else, there was a name of a medicine that he could read out smoothly.

"--Vancomycin?"

Queen Ma took it over and took a look. Well, luckily it wasn't Eternal Poison.

"With such a domineering name, it must be the magic medicine on the other end." Queen Ma guessed.

"Yes, the medicine has magical properties and is worthy of the title of 'Eternal'! Our eldest grandson's action is indeed extraordinary!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed sincerely: "Sister, I can save you this time, thanks to our great grandson!"

"Yeah, who would have thought that it was my eldest grandson who saved me when all the doctors in the world were helpless? I really don't know how to thank my eldest grandson." "Our eldest grandson is still the most capable!" Zhu Yuanzhang said proudly. .

Queen Ma nodded, feeling a little frightened. She walked back and forth behind the gate of hell, and even Guo Zixing saw her in a daze.

Until this moment, Queen Ma's heart was filled with a sense of unreality.

And she suddenly thought of a question she wanted to ask just now.

"By the way, where did Ying'er get this magic medicine?"

"I don't know, but Biao'er stayed there and asked Ying'er what the cost of this medicine would be."

"What did Ying'er say?" Queen Ma asked with concern.

"He said he would pay it back."

Queen Ma felt a little uncomfortable.

[Sure enough, this life-saving medicine was not given for free. Ying'er must have paid some kind of price, and I'm afraid the price was not small. 】

Indescribable gratitude emerged from Queen Ma's heart, but when she thought of her eldest grandson, such a young child, fighting alone on the other side at this time, Queen Ma felt really uncomfortable.

"Do you know what Ying'er means when he says, 'A dead horse is treated as a living horse'? It's true that the living do evil and the dead stop the disaster! If Ying'er hadn't taken action, I would have crossed the Naihe Bridge by now."

Empress Ma glared at Zhu Yuanzhang angrily: "You sent so many people down, didn't they all become Ying'er's mortal enemies? Oh my god, how difficult it is for our eldest grandson. We have to recruit soldiers and horses to wipe your ass, and we have to pay a huge amount." What kind of life have you been living at the cost of finding medicine for us? You can’t treat your eldest grandson badly. If you have any good things, give them to him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed. How could he have imagined that the big case he raised would put pressure on the other side. No wonder Ying'er had to remind himself repeatedly that he thought it was "beating me", but he didn't expect it to be a "big case".

"We understand. Next time we will ask Da Sun if he is short of manpower."

Queen Ma's fever had subsided at this time, her lungs were much refreshed, and she was in the mood to joke: "I think Lan Yu is good, and Li Jinglong is also okay."

Empress Ma had long disliked these two second-generation nobles who were flying eagles and horses, but this was just a joke. Lan Yu was Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, and Chang Yuchun's daughter Chang was Zhu Biao's previous crown prince. , Zhu Xiongying's biological mother; Li Jinglong is the son of Li Wenzhong, and Li Wenzhong is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew. These nobles are all related to the royal family, and they can be killed at any time.

Instead, Zhu Yuanzhang seriously thought about the feasibility of this matter.
"Chongba, this is a joke, but don't take it seriously."

"We know, but we really haven't figured out how this Yin-Yang Qihai thing came about and what the rules are."

Now that the effects of the Yin-Yang Qihai have begun to emerge, Zhu Yuanzhang was keenly aware that the Yin-Yang Qihai might really be as Qiu Xuanqing said. "Leaking secrets" information, so how beneficial will these things be to Ming Dynasty?
When he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.
