The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 940: Step by Step

Officials from the Left Prime Minister’s party, such as County Magistrate Tao Dingnian, looked at Fang Yun like idiots, with faces full of panic.

The governor of a state is in charge of politics, the governor is in charge of the army, and two of the three highest-ranking officials in a state were taken down just like that?

As officials of Jing State, they knew the official environment of Jing State too well. The royal family did not have such power, and the military and the Wen Xiang’s party did not have such power. Even if they had such power, those people did not have the courage to tear their faces and overturn the table.

Fang Yun was still immature, and it was impossible for him to be able to take down the two officials, even if the Criminal Court helped. After all, the Criminal Court was an external aid and could not become the main force to attack the Left Prime Minister’s party.

But from the clues, it was obvious that Fang Yun personally went down to end the careers of the two officials.

Why did Fang Yun do that?

Many officials began to desperately send letters to friends in the capital or the Holy Academy, trying to get things clear.

But after asking around, he found that the matter was far more serious than he had imagined. Within one day, more than ten officials from Mizhou were taken away by the Criminal Court. No one dared to tell the real reason, but a hint of information was also revealed, which was very likely to be suspected of treason.

Everyone stopped the investigation immediately, and many people even shed cold sweats. If it involved treason, it would make sense for Huang Daxueshi to personally arrest a Hanlin. If he really investigated, the Criminal Court would probably come to visit.

Many officials were uneasy, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Fang Yun.

Anyone could see that the left prime minister's party could not be treasonous. At most, they had some transactions with the monsters. When it comes to transactions with the monsters, 90% of the families are not clean, even the Kong family must have traded with the monsters.

However, transactions with the monsters can never be brought to the table. Once exposed, the Criminal Court will definitely investigate thoroughly.

The Criminal Court's thorough investigation is the most frightening, because once the Criminal Court investigates strictly, it will often unearth a large number of crimes of a person, and these crimes will inevitably involve a large number of people. The Criminal Court will not care about those who are not involved in treason, but will hand over the evidence to other countries.

With these evidences, the three forces of the Queen Mother, the Minister of Literature and the military will have enough excuses. Not only will they deal with the party of the Left Prime Minister involved in the case, but they will also let their people seize those official positions and seize power from the Left Prime Minister!

Many officials have been able to calculate the consequences in their hearts. This time, the Left Prime Minister has only two choices in the earthquake in the officialdom of Mizhou. Either give up control of Mizhou or send officials from the capital to fill the official positions in Mizhou. However, the vacant official positions in the capital may be snatched by the Queen Mother and the Minister of Literature.

The worse situation is that Liushan can no longer control the three departments of Mizhou civil officials, state army and literary academy. He must spit out one department, otherwise he will lose everything.

This time, the Criminal Court took action, which involved too much and gave the enemies of the Left Prime Minister enough excuses.

Tao Dingnian, the county magistrate, secretly looked at Fang Yun and found that he looked calm, as if he had just done something insignificant. However, as the deputy of the county magistrate, Tao Dingnian knew the whole story better than others. Fang Yun first led the various halls of the Holy Court into Ning'an to tie up interests, and then used Shen Ming as a breakthrough to seize control of the ten houses and completely control the county government.

Stabilizing Ning'an County, Fang Yun had no worries. Then he made a move with a thunderous force and broke the sky of Mizhou, causing Mizhou, known as the backyard of the left prime minister, to catch fire everywhere, forcing the officials of the left prime minister's party to run around and have no time to harm Ning'an again.

It can even be said that Fang Yun hoped that the left prime minister's party would continue to target Ning'an and him, so that they would be unable to take care of both ends and would most likely be slowly defeated by the Queen Mother, the military, and the Minister of Literature.

Tao Dingnian lowered his head and pondered with many people. What did Fang Yun know or do that caused the Criminal Hall to be dispatched?

The non-medical people present had completely forgotten that this was a medical literary gathering, and they were thinking and chatting on their own, trying to figure things out.

After a brief moment of confusion, the medical people put aside the trivial matters and began to focus on the theme of today's medical literary gathering, "On Plague"!

After Fang Yun announced the start of the medical literary gathering, Zhang Zangxiang, a great scholar of the Medical Hall, spoke on behalf of the Medical Hall, explaining the significance and purpose of this literary gathering, and then introduced the university scholars and a few Hanlin scholars present one by one.

Afterwards, the Ning'an County Printing House brought the printed full version of "On Plague" by carriage. Zhang Zangxiang waved his hand, and thousands of "On Plague" flew all over the sky and landed accurately in front of everyone.

Then, Fang Yun stood up and explained the process of "On Plague" being written.

As the first medical monograph on the systematic study of infectious diseases in the ancient Chinese country, "On Plague" subverted the past theories about plague, especially the exogenous cause of "rebellion" was affirmed by later generations.

The most important role of "Treatise on Plague" is not only to systematically study plague, but more importantly, to lay a solid foundation for the Warm Disease School.

Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" is the source of all medicine. The medical theories of various schools all come from the Febrile Disease School, and even the Warm Disease School itself is independent from the Febrile Disease School.

Although the current Shengyuan Continent has studied warm diseases, it still looks at them with the old perspective, and no one dares to separate warm diseases from typhoid fever.

This "Treatise on Plague" is not bold enough to completely separate warm diseases from typhoid fever, but it proposes this possibility, and based on this possibility, corrects some of the mistakes about warm diseases in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" by the Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing, and at the same time adds unprecedented medical theories in Shengyuan Continent.

This behavior of subverting part of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" would be frantically suppressed if placed in some of the Hundred Schools, and may even attract the attack of great Confucian scholars, but it is different for medical scholars.

After the publication of Treatise on Febrile Diseases, doctors naturally formed different schools of thought due to different interpretations. If they found omissions in it, they would contact Zhang Zhongjing's family and the Medical Palace. Once confirmed, they would send the correct content to the holy book Treatise on Febrile Diseases, so that Treatise on Febrile Diseases could be continuously improved and revised.

Therefore, even if Zhang Zhongjing died, the power of the holy book Treatise on Febrile Diseases would become stronger and stronger.

Doctors have a strong self-purification ability and innovation motivation, so the dispute over the holy way has always been based on facts, which is relatively not cruel.

After Fang Yun finished explaining the process of writing the book, he began to explain the warm disease system of Treatise on Epidemics, but he only talked about the prototype of warm disease studies. It is impossible to directly throw out the revolutionary medical remarks such as "warm-heat disease and plague are not typhoid fever", and it is even more impossible to directly appear in the mature medical system of later generations such as "Wei Qi Ying Xue Dialectics" and "San Jiao Dialectics".

Fang Yun needs time to slowly change the medical way, and doctors also need time to slowly accept it.

Therefore, although this book "On Plague" has no mistakes, it has omissions, which are deliberately left by Fang Yun, because these omissions actually point to a more complete medical theory of febrile diseases.

However, "On Plague" is ultimately very subversive. After Fang Yun's explanation entered halfway, it triggered a strange phenomenon of falling flowers.

After this phenomenon appeared, many doctors who were suspicious of Fang Yun temporarily suppressed their doubts, and those who wanted to attack Fang Yun shut up tactfully. There is only one possibility that can cause strange phenomena of falling flowers, that is, it is in line with the holy way.

After explaining the medical system of "On Plague", Fang Yun began to start from the details and explain the new theories and new scientific names in "On Plague" one by one.

At first, it was fine, but when it came to the symptoms of the exterior and the interior, dozens of doctors left the table one after another, including a university scholar.

These people not only looked painful, but also had extremely contradictory expressions. They were obviously unwilling to leave, but had to leave.
