Chapter 83: with translation of chapter title

Shen Tianxing, Yang Tieqiang, Great Zhou

As for conscription alone, Shen Tianxing has already achieved many things that many who aspire to contend for the world cannot do, and he greatly appreciates Shen Tianxing's proposed future direction.

Blue Star

Only by putting the people first, cracking down on corrupt officials, and implementing policies beneficial to the populace can one truly enrich the nation and strengthen the people; moreover, if these policies can be smoothly implemented in ancient times, step by step, the world will be within easy reach.

【7】 Old Man Yang

Old Man appears again (Old Man Yang). Already in glossary.

【10】 Qingxue

Yang Tieqiang still smiled and accepted it readily, then shifted his tone and said:

Hongyue (Yang Hongyue) appears; also Qingxue (Qingxue). Also wife generic.

Yang Tieshan

I actually have no problem; the key is whether Yang Hongyue is willing, we still need to see her opinion.

You have to ask this yourself; I, the old man, have already helped this much—surely it's not that whenever you get married, you still need the old man to say it?

Yang Tieqiang said that and left; just then Yang Hongyue arrived, and Shen Tianxing also helplessly rubbed his nose—he doesn't know how to pick up girls; that's also because he's traveled to ancient times, which makes it somewhat easier.

What did you say to my grandfather again? You'd better not say nonsense to him; I've noticed my grandfather has been learning bad habits from you lately.

Yang Hongyue was just saying that offhand; Shen Tianxing's face was a mix of laughter and tears. If we're talking about learning bad habits, it's actually from following Yang Tieqiang—this Old Man Yang is proper only when he's serious; usually he's never proper.

Old Man Yang, General Yang

Yang Hongyue was somewhat taken aback, froze for a moment, then her face flushed; she immediately stood up, instinctively stomped her foot, and, annoyed, said something before turning and walking away.

What opinion could I have? I already promised you before—whenever you want, just then.

Ancient times are still better—proper virtuous maidens, openly taking three wives and four concubines; the unchanging thing is that you can also afford to support them.

Everything was going smoothly for Shen Tianxing, his mood extremely pleased, but at this moment Jingcheng was shrouded in gloom.

Emperor, Ninth Prince

Sun Zhongquan was frantic; before he had fully grasped control of the entire Great Zhou's power, this young emperor couldn't die, and Sun Zhongquan couldn't understand—he's already eight years old, how did he come down with smallpox?

No matter what, we must let His Majesty live; otherwise, the entire Imperial Hospital will be buried with him.

Sun Zhongquan's voice sounded somewhat flat, but everyone knew he had reached the peak of anger.

It's not that we, the servants, aren't doing our utmost; it's that His Majesty's condition is truly difficult! His high fever just won't subside—we've tried everything, but we're powerless.

Head of Imperial Medical Institute, Sun Hua

At most we can only delay a few more days; if there's still no effective medicine, he'll really die. Sun Hua and the others don't want to die, but they can't avoid telling the truth, or else they'll die even faster.

What use are you lot of trash? You can't even handle it—could it be that no one in the entire Great Zhou can cure it? Moreover, smallpox isn't an incurable disease; haven't many people been cured of it before?

This Prince, Your Majesty

Imperial Physician

Prince, Li Miaozhu, Third Lady of the Yang Family

Sun Zhongquan almost kicked him; this Li Miaozhu is none other than Yang Hongyue's young aunt—if she had still been in prison a month ago, it would have been simple, but now she's already in Leizhou!

Even if Sun Zhongquan sends people to capture Li Miaozhu and bring her back, by the time they return the young emperor's corpse would already be rotting.

Sun Hua, do you think that because you're distantly related to the prince, you can act recklessly toward him? This person is now in Leizhou; even if the prince sends people to fetch him back, do you think there's still time?

Prince, Your Majesty, Pill

Only then did Sun Zhongquan calm the anger in his chest, slowly nodding.

Immediately administer medicine to His Majesty; I will now send people to bring Li Miaozhu back, and I will also send more people to seek others skilled in medicine—you'd better think of some medical expertise superior to yours.

Prince, rest assured; this official will go administer medicine to His Majesty now, and before tonight I will definitely present the prince with a list of people highly skilled in medicine.

Get lost—all of you, get out of the prince's presence.

【44】 Prince

The imperial physicians hurriedly retreated; Sun Zhongquan clapped his hands, and two figures appeared immediately. Sun Zhongquan delegated the task, insisting they must bring the person back at any cost, and if necessary they could mobilize Leizhou's troops.

After those two figures agreed and left, Sun Zhongquan was about to close his eyes to rest when a black shadow suddenly appeared outside the door and knelt on one knee.

subordinate appears, prince appears.

(no new)

Leiming City

With a loud bang, Sun Zhongquan slapped the table beside him with his palm; the table instantly shattered into pieces, and he slowly rose to his feet.

What a Yang Tieqiang, what a Shen Tianxing— they actually went to Leizhou to seize the city; this is rebellion! Not knowing life or death, since they're in Leizhou, let Yue Yunyang go deal with you. I, the prince, will come see whether his hard bone will defy the imperial edict.
