Song Qizheng pondered for a moment and instructed his confidant, "Send someone back to inquire about the situation."
Considering that the journey from the Capital City to Zhenzhou was not short, and delays could be caused by gathering information to relay back, he turned and went to the study.
Song Qizheng wrote several letters by hand and handed them to his confidant, "Go to Xingzhou to see General Miao and ask him to help procure some medicinal herbs." At present, both he and the Henghai Jiedu Envoy were in the Capital City. If chaos broke out in the North, the consequences could be imagined. At such times, an epidemic could seriously delay spring plowing, leading to famine.
After giving these instructions, Song Qizheng remained troubled, as he wished to immediately request the Emperor's permission to return to Zhenzhou.
