Chapter 47: The Greatness of Cao Zixiu(2/2)
"No matter what, that little guy deserves our admiration..."
"Aha! What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
Yuan Shao looked at the empty door, feeling stirred in his heart.
This was not the first time they had heard of Cao Ang's famous name. They were almost all witnesses from his instant success to becoming famous all over the world.
It is impossible not to envy Cao Cao. Who would have thought that the short, dark-skinned Cao Ah Man would have such a wise and spiritual son?
This kid! Incredible!
"Meng De was worried about the epidemic just now. I heard you said that Zi Xiu wanted to solve the typhoid fever? Wait? Zi Xiu?"
The anxious He Jin calmed down a little after passing his identity card to the chamberlain. Taking advantage of the break in the briefing, He Jin thought it would be better to ask for more information.
If I remember correctly? Zixiu seems to be Cao Cao's son, right?
And his son seems to be ten years old?
"Horse rider! Meng De! Are you deceiving me?"
He Jin jumped off the horse and pointed at Cao Cao with anger and his whole body was shaking.
"No! General! My son has been different from ordinary people since he was born. The general must have heard about it. Now my son has compassion on all living beings in the world and is compassionate and willing to bless the common people. Is this Meng De who deceives General?"
Cao Cao got off his horse unhurriedly and spoke to He Jin very calmly with his hands and fists clasped.
It is true that Cao Ang's talent and reputation had already spread to He Jin's ears, but He Jin really couldn't figure out why Cao Ang, at such a young age, dared to have such big ambitions?
"Squeak..."
Before He Jin could think about it, the inner door of the palace was pushed open with the combined efforts of the four people. He Jin, who had no choice but to give Cao Cao a hard look, led Cao Cao straight into the inner palace with fear in his heart.
After shouting "Long Live Long Live" three times, the Young Emperor asked the two of them to level up in a dignified manner, and Queen Mother He's voice rang out from behind the gauze tent.
"Brother, it's so urgent today, but do you have something important to discuss?"
"When I returned to the Queen Mother, typhoid fever broke out in Yuzhou, and countless people died. Many doctors were helpless, so I asked the emperor to issue an order to provide relief."
"The eldest brother has decided that your majesty is still young and does not know the dangers of typhoid fever. In the future, eldest brother does not need to come in person to do things for the country and the people."
Hearing a few words from Queen Mother He made Cao Cao get goosebumps all over his body!
Cao Cao secretly glanced at the young emperor who looked innocent and had nothing to do. What does it mean that such a thing does not need to go through the emperor? What does it mean that your majesty is still young?
Isn't this just a naked grab for power? Isn't this a blatant attempt to seduce the Young Emperor?
Look at my cub! He is about the same age as Young Emperor. What does my son do?
My son has made candles and soaps that benefit the country and the people. My son has made the first batch of fine wines in the Han Dynasty. My son has created poems that have been passed down through the ages. My son...
"Queen Mother, a typhoid epidemic broke out in Nanyang!"
Seeing Queen Mother He's nonchalant expression, He Jin became a little anxious.
"What?"
Queen Mother He directly opened the gauze tent and hurried towards He Jin.
"Is what brother said true?"
Sure enough, you only know how to be anxious when something happens to you!
"Absolutely true!"
Seeing He Jin's affirmative words, Queen Mother He almost fell down. Fortunately, He Jin was quick and helped her.
"Father, mother... Your Majesty, Your Majesty will issue an order to have the imperial physician go to Nanyang to provide support..."
The lunatic Queen Mother He changed her attitude of being as if nothing had happened. She took the young emperor with both hands and wanted to do something.
Cao Cao silently looked at the Queen Mother He on the stage with inexplicable disgust in his heart!
Is this what you call hiding behind the curtain and listening to politics? So-called assisting the emperor?
"hehe..."
Cao Cao shook his head without any trace, he actually felt that enough was enough!
"Queen Mother! Queen Mother! Calm down!"
The young emperor was at a loss when Queen Mother He was shaken. He Jin quickly stopped him and loudly called Queen Mother He back to reality.
"The top priority is to stabilize the situation first. Meng De said that he has a way to solve the typhoid fever. Please listen to Meng De's suggestion."
"Captain Cao has a way? Great! If he can cure the typhoid fever, Your Majesty will grant you a three-level promotion!"
The panicked Empress Dowager He seemed to have grasped at straws to save her life, and then she noticed Cao Cao who had been standing by.
"Queen Mother! My son Cao Zixiu is willing to relieve the people's worries, but we still need one person to cure typhoid fever within a year!"
"Who? No matter who it is! Your Majesty is sure!"
When Queen Mother He heard that the typhoid fever could be cured, she was relieved and quickly expressed her stance on behalf of the young emperor.
Cao Cao couldn't help but smile bitterly and secretly glanced at the young emperor. He still had a look of innocence on his face. At this moment, he suddenly had the idea of retiring and returning to his hometown.
What am I doing? Just for this powerful woman and this emperor who is so different from my own son?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you Queen Mother for your support..."
After thinking about it for a while, Cao Cao finally gave up everything. For no other reason than to make Cao Ang famous in the world, he chose to surrender.
Not long after He Jin and Cao Cao left the imperial city, an imperial edict was handed down:
All the well-known doctors in Luoyang went to Nanyang to fight the epidemic. Zhang Jixuan entered Luoyang to cooperate with Cao Zixiu, the son of Dian Junxiao, in researching anti-typhoid fever!
For a time, Cao Ang's reputation was once again a sensation, and people remembered Cao Ang's name in their hearts. Some people even built an archway for Cao Ang and worshiped him every day.
Cao Ang's name once again made the headlines in Dahan News!
"Ah sneeze..."
Far away in Nanyang, looking at the countless victims of the epidemic who had died and been injured, Zhang Ji suddenly sneezed, causing everyone to look at him with eyes full of resistance.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I just got choked..."
Zhang Ji noticed everyone's gaze and touched his forehead. It was normal. There was no discomfort all over his body, so he quickly explained.
