Phoenix City, the capital of Gaochun Kingdom, is the Jinluan Palace in the imperial city.
"Slap, slap, slap......."
With the sound of nine net whips, Gao Chunguo's current saint Sang Cheng slowly walked into the Jinluan Hall and sat on the dragon chair, and then an old eunuch with a big belly beside him shouted in a thin voice that the courtiers had long been accustomed to:
"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do."
As soon as the words fell, someone from the east row of civil servants came out of class, and one person from the west row of military generals came out of class, and almost said in unison:
"The minister has his own music."
This is the first time that such a situation has occurred in the twenty-three years that Emperor Sangcheng has been in power. It is not uncommon for the civil and military classes to report something at the same time, but it is strange that the actions of the two of them are highly unified, if they don't know, they think it was discussed in advance.
"Accurate, what does Xiao Aiqing have to play?"
Emperor Sang Cheng turned his gaze to Xiao Yong, the servant of the Wenchen Household Department, and asked.
"Long live my lord, the minister was on duty last night and received an urgent report of 800 miles from Fenglin County, reporting that Fenglin County was suddenly hit by a plague, and the county has jurisdiction over 13 counties, and eight counties have been infected a day ago, including the county governance of Fenglin City, and it turned into a no-man's land in four days. Yang Qing, the county guard, was infected with the epidemic and died. ”
Not only the emperor, but also other civil and military generals were all shocked when they heard the news at first glance. What kind of plague is this, how is it possible to turn eight counties into a no-man's land in just four days?
Emperor Sang Cheng looked at him with a slight suspicion, and turned to look at Cen Can, the military attendant who came out of class at the same time.
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Cen Can had already spoken:
"Long live my lord, the minister was on duty last night to receive the flying pigeon transmission from Guo Jingming, the garrison of Fenglin County, Fenglin County was suddenly hit by the plague, and ten of the thirteen counties under the jurisdiction of the county have been infected with the epidemic, and they were all turned into no man's land yesterday. There was no one alive in Fenglin City, and Yang Qing, the county guard, was killed. ”
"What?!"
The time difference between the military department and the household department is only one day and night, and two more counties have turned into no man's land, such news cannot but make the emperor Sang Cheng and a cadre of civil servants and military generals unbelievable.
"Tell me more."
Emperor Sang Cheng Annai was surprised in his heart and wanted to hear more definite news.
"Long live my lord, the report from Fenglin County is extremely general, obviously sent out in a hurry, the minister has arranged for people to go to investigate in the starry night, once there is accurate news to return, it will be reported immediately."
Xiao Yong, the head of the household department, had just finished speaking, and Cen Can, the head of the military department, said:
"Long live my lord, after receiving the news from the flying pigeon, Weichen has sent a letter back to ask for details, but there has been no reply so far."
Cen Can's words suddenly made the hearts of everyone in the Jinluan Hall sink.
No one doesn't know the speed of the flying pigeon's book, if it is sent out in the middle of the night, it will definitely be rewarded around the hour, so far there is no information sent back to explain what?!
Emperor Sang Cheng is also the most shrewd and capable emperor of Gao Chunguo in recent generations, since his accession to the throne, it can be said that the entire country is governed in an orderly manner, especially in the selection and appointment of people. Take all the civil ministers and military generals in the last dynasty today, all of them are people who can govern the country and can secure the country with martial arts.
His eyes slowly swept over the ministers, and Sang Cheng had already made a decision in his heart.
"Prime Minister Lin Tong on the left, Prime Minister Hao Linling on the right."
"The minister is here."
"The minister is here."
The two people standing at the front of the east and west rows came out of class, bowed upwards, and listened to the emperor's words.
"I ordered you and you to return to the government hall to preside over the eradication of the epidemic. Lin Aiqing was responsible for mobilizing the whole country to collect Chinese herbal medicines, and led the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and other relevant departments to quickly send people to the epidemic area for prevention and control. ”
"Commandment."
Hao Aiqing was responsible for mobilizing people to impose martial law on the epidemic area, and tried every means to stop the spread of the epidemic. It is better to strangle than to let one person or one thing leave the epidemic area. ”
"Obey."
and the left and right prime ministers left the Jinluan Palace one after another, and other relevant departments, such as the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and other Shangshu, as well as the squire, also followed.
"Scattered."
Other officials who were originally preparing to have this report, such as the Yushitai, suddenly heard of such an emergency epidemic and shut up for a while, and no one wanted to be bored at this time, so with a sound of dispersal, they walked out of the Jinluan Hall one after another. However, they were not in a hurry to return home, but gathered in the corridor in front of the main hall and began to discuss.
"What does Lord Qin think about the epidemic in Fenglin County?"
"Lord Qian, this matter was reported by the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War at the same time, I'm afraid it can't be faked."
"Naturally, it can't be faked, but Xia Guan has read a lot of idle books, but he has never heard of such a rapid epidemic. How is it possible to turn ten counties into a no-man's land in a matter of days? ”
"Do you have some doubts about the words in the cantata?"
"If you want to come to a small Fenglin County, you shouldn't dare to risk the world's disapproval, right?"
"That's right."
"Alas, I think that since the founding of the country, all dynasties and dynasties cannot be said to have been in good weather, but there have been few disasters. In addition, all the saints of the past dynasties have been emperors through the ages, and with the efforts of the whole country, they have been able to become one of the few powerful countries on the continent of A and B today. How could this happen suddenly? ”
Soon after Lin Tong, the left prime minister, and Hao Linling, the right prime minister, returned to the political hall, they received an eight-hundred-mile rush again, and the flying pigeon passed the book. However, this time it was not from Fenglin County, but from the two adjacent counties of Fenglin County, Wuling County and Wenxiang County. The 800-mile rush was sent by the county guards of the two counties, and the flying pigeon pass was sent by the garrisons of the two counties.
Although they are from two places, the content is basically the same. It is all about the sudden outbreak of the epidemic in neighboring Maplewood County, and the current situation.
Lin Tong and Hao Linling didn't dare to slack off, they immediately straightened out the content, and the left and right prime ministers jointly sent it to the imperial study in the inner courtyard of the palace.
"How?"
As soon as the two entered the imperial study, Emperor Sang Cheng waved his hand to stop the two from saluting, and then asked.
"Long live Qiyu, Wuling County and Wenxiang County have written a report to report, and the thirteen counties of Fenglin County have become a place where no one is dead for thousands of miles."
"None of them were spared?"
"Yes, hooray. Not only is no one spared, but not even birds and animals are spared. ”
Shhhhh
After reading the piece handed over by the two of them, he stared at the ground in front of the jade book case and did not make a sound for a long time.
"Why is the plague so fierce that even birds and beasts are not spared?"
Knowing that the emperor was either asking them or asking, the two didn't know how to answer. Because no one dared to enter Fenglin County to find out, naturally there was no way to know the truth of the matter.
"Fortunately, long live, fortunately, Fenglin County has a unique location, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and only the north is connected to the inland by the Zhangnao River, otherwise, I am afraid that Wuling County and Wenxiang County will also ......."
Speaking of this, Lin Tong, the prime minister of Zuo, did not say any more.
"Has Hao Aiqing ever mobilized the garrisons of nearby counties to go to martial law?"
"Long live Hui, the flying pigeon biography has been sent out as soon as possible, and now there should be a vanguard army to the north bank of the Zhangnao River."
Emperor Sang Cheng looked at Hao Linling, frowned, pondered for a moment, and said:
"That's not enough, since birds and animals are not immune, that is to say, birds can also spread the plague. So we have to find a way to stop ....... ”
Xu thought of the birds that could not be controlled in the air at all, and the emperor stopped when he said this.
Naturally, Lin Tong and Hao Linling both understood what the emperor meant, and the two of them had actually thought of this question for a long time. After glancing at each other, Lin Tong took over and said:
"Hooray, it's not impossible."
"Tell me about it."
"Now there should be no need to worry about birds and beasts coming out of Fenglin County, the only thing to prevent is the birds outside from crossing the river. So, is it possible to create a no-man's land along the north bank of the Zhangnao River, evacuate all residents, demolish all houses, and set fire to all the plants on the ground? The first is that birds and animals are afraid of the fire, and the second is that the burned red land will naturally no longer attract birds and beasts. ”
"Well, that's a good idea. It is only necessary to do a good job of resettlement and bereavement for the relocated subjects, and not to provoke civil unrest. This matter will be handled by the two Aiqing through consultation. ”
"Yes."
"Also, we must find a way to find out the truth about this epidemic. If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, if there is an accident, it is better to deal with it. ”
The emperor's words undoubtedly gave the two prime ministers a problem.
It's not that they don't want to find out the truth of the matter, it's just that even birds and beasts are not immune to the plague, how can they send people to investigate? If you act rashly, even if you send thousands of troops, I am afraid that there will be no return
