    "Ahem" At this point, Ma Wensheng was actually desperate inside.

    Ping Xihou, you are so sick and your life is almost gone, and you are still thinking about this.

    But obviously, this move is very effective.

    Even Liu Jian was moved. This great hero who guarded the border town had a wish before he died. What happened?

    Ma Wensheng thought for a while and then continued: "He also said that if Your Majesty is willing to approve this marriage, he will be able to rest in peace even if he dies. He would rather have the title of Marquis of Pingxi taken away by His Majesty Guo. He also said,  The southwest will definitely be uneasy due to this epidemic. As long as he has a breath left and is suffering from this serious illness, he will continue to patrol the guards. If he dies, his wife Liu will inherit his legacy and control the situation for Your Majesty.  Guizhou, if Guizhou is determined, the southwest will be determined, and if the southwest is determined, the Ming Dynasty will prosper. He understands this truth."

    "This memorial also contains Liu's personal memorial"

    Ma Wensheng sighed and continued: "Ms. Liu said that since she married into the Fang family, once she was a member of the Fang family, even if she died, she would also be a ghost of the Fang family. If anything happens to her husband, please ask the imperial court to send an imperial envoy to deal with it.  Just in case something unexpected happens, although she is a female prostitute, she is still willing to serve the imperial envoy and die for the imperial court."

    Speaking of which,

    Emperor Hongzhi fell silent. Needless to say, Fang Jinglong's loyalty was indeed admirable even for the Liu family.

    Emperor Hongzhi naturally understood what Ping Xihou meant, but at the same time, he couldn't help but worry about Ping Xihou's physical condition.

    He immediately said: "Immediately order the imperial doctor to rush to Guizhou and try every means to treat Ping Xihou. The most urgent task now is to cure the disease."

    Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh: "There is no one in the Fang family who has not dedicated himself to the imperial court until death. If Fang Jifan learns about this, he will be worried."

    He found that he actually started to miss the feelings of that guy Fang Jifan.

    What should obviously be more concerned about is the corrupt situation in Yunnan and Guizhou.

    The outbreak of such a big plague now means the death of countless people. The Ming Dynasty's dominance in Yunnan and Guizhou will be weak. Coupled with the current conflict with Annan, it is difficult for Annan to take this opportunity to add insult to injury.

    Emperor Hongzhi stood up and walked back and forth in the palace with his hands behind his back, feeling very anxious.

    Every malaria outbreak in the Yunnan-Guizhou area in the past meant military failure or rebellion.

    I hope this time, I can get through it safely.

    And every time malaria causes the greatest harm to the military guards in the field, this means that with a large number of Han civilian casualties, the Ming Dynasty¡¯s rule over the southwest will fall into an extremely weak situation. By then

    Emperor Hongzhi sighed, then stopped, looked at Liu Jian and others with a pair of piercing eyes, and said word by word: "I want the princess to marry Pingxi Marquis Fang Jifan, what do you think?  "

    Liu Jian and others were silent.

    It is not appropriate for a princess to marry a meritorious person. In the eyes of many people, this will increase the risk of relatives interfering in politics.

    But now

    If you get sick in Pingxihou, death is imminent.

    When a person is about to die, if the princess marries, the title of Marquis of Pingxi will naturally be taken away by Guo.

    At this point, if you object, it is really unjustifiable.

    This is a family full of loyalty and filial piety. Didn¡¯t Ming Dynasty always advocate loyalty and filial piety?

    Fang Jinglong is getting older. Although malaria is not an incurable disease, the mortality rate is extremely high. Once infected, a person of Fang Jinglong's age is almost like having one foot on the coffin board.

    " Moreover, the situation in the southwest is critical, and the court still needs to rely on Liu and her tribe to try their best to maintain the situation.

    ¡°Otherwise, once the Southwest is corrupted, the consequences will be disastrous.

    Emperor Hongzhi added another sentence: "I think back to the time when the Duke of Guizhou was ordered to control Yunnan when he was in danger. Emperor Wen married the princess to the son of the Duke of Guizhou as his wife. There is a precedent for me to do this. I only have one daughter.  To show the loyalty of the Fang family, why not marry the princess? There are tens of thousands of Han troops in the southwest, hundreds of thousands of family members, and countless immigrants, and at this moment, I am thinking about it.  Their safety, at the same time, they also hope that they can take advantage of the joy of the princess's marriage to dilute the worries about the crisis in the southwest. Liu Qing's family, Li Qing's family, and Xie Qing's family, not to mention that according to the ancestral law, the princess's marriage is  There is nothing wrong with Xunchen. But even if there is no precedent in the ancestral law, there is still love outside the law. Fang Jifan's father is dying. Come to think of it, he is like a stick in his throat. I grant marriage and reward loyalty. Isn't it also wrong?"

    ??In the 19th century, people extracted cinchona cream from the bark of the cinchona tree, which became the first generation of anti-malarial medicine. Since then, with the development of the pharmaceutical industry, people have extracted the ingredients of cinchona cream into  , produced quinine.

    This special medicine is extremely effective against malaria and is a rapid blood schizonticide.

    It is actually not easy to make quinine, butwith cinchona bark, this primitive quinine is much easier.

    In South America, the rainforest environment there is similar to that of Yunnan, Guizhou and the Western region, which are also in the tropics and subtropics. Therefore, the Indians discovered the cinchona tree. The bark of the cinchona tree was dried and ground into powder to cure the disease.  malaria.

    But just like this, for the other side's successor, it was obviously more than that. He ordered people to collect more bark, even if he did not care about the survival of the cinchona tree, he could collect as much as he could. At the same time, he ordered people to start preparations.  Pharmaceuticals.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
