66. The old man meets
The pair of brothers and sisters in Xiang's sister-in-law's mouth must be unwilling to be in the middle of the city, so they will choose a remote place like Maiguan. Rushing all the way, the road gradually narrowed, and red maples fell everywhere. The view is good. When you arrive at Mai Temple, the entire Taoist Temple is hidden in a thick bamboo forest. The strange thing is that the road is quite quiet, but the more you get to the Taoist temple, it becomes noisy.
"Line up, line up! Everyone takes their own bowl to get the plague soup, don't mess around! A crisp female voice shouted. I suddenly felt that the voice was very familiar, but for a moment I couldn't remember who it was, and my steps couldn't help but slow down. Zhu Di noticed my abnormality, stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Listen to this voice, do you feel familiar?" ”
Zhu Di stood and paused for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, this girl's voice is very familiar, but I don't know where I heard it." ”
"Did you meet an old friend?" Sanbao also smiled.
"Just go in and see." I said.
Zhu Di shook his head, "It's not good, if it's an old man, you will recognize our ......"
I then remembered that Zhu Di was already the Ninth Five-Year Emperor at this time, and if he was recognized here, it would not be a pleasure to meet his old acquaintance in another country, so he had to say, "Otherwise, you should avoid it first, and Sanbao and I will disguise ourselves a little and then go in to see what kind of people are here, if they are really old people, we will invite them out to see you, so that we don't have to alarm everyone." ”
Sanbao smiled, "Why bother Niangniang for a trip, I'll go alone." ”
Zhu Di agreed with Sanbao's words and nodded, "Ah Yi really doesn't have to go over." ”
Although Zhu Di said so, my heart was still chaotic, and I always had some bad premonitions, so I hesitated for a while, but still said, "I want to go in first and see how they are treated." Out of the way. ”
Zhu Di grabbed me, "The more people there are, the more they carry many diseases, you are weak, although you have taken some preventive medicine, after all, don't stick to the pile." ”
Seeing Zhu Di's insistence, I had no choice but to stand behind Zhu Di and let Sanbao go in alone. Zhu Di pulled me to find a sunny place, took off his robe, rested on a stable boulder, smoothed it with his hands, and then said, "Sit down for a while." Just in time to bask in the sun. ”
I touched his clothes and frowned, "If you wear it so thinly, you have to take off your robe......"
"The sun is good here, I'm still sweating, Sanbao will have a while, you stand like this, it hurts your strength." Zhu Di sat down first, pointed to his thighs and smiled at me.
I had to sit down with him, leaning on his lap, looking up at the sky, only to feel a little dazzling, Zhu Di had stretched out a hand to cover my eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't say it, sit down and savor the environment here, it's really elegant, if we can leave everything behind and find a place like this, it's also good." ”
I stretched out my hand and gently rubbed his face, "But you are the true son of the dragon, the lord of a country, the Ming Dynasty will be chaotic without you, and the people in the world will lose the backbone, and this piece of peace in your heart can only be a luxury after all." ”
Zhu Di lowered his head and smiled at me, "Say a few words of gossip, but you will be a little sour in your heart." But whether it's a thatched house or a palace, it's good to always have you by your side. ”
I smiled, turned over, buried his whole face in his stomach, and he reached out to hug me, like a child, the sun shone warmly on his body, very comfortable, Zhu Di has been patting me gently on the back,
It actually makes people a little drowsy.
"The emperor's ......" Sanbao's voice came through after about half an hour, I opened my eyes suddenly, turned around, and found that there were two people around Sanbao, which I didn't know, and immediately stood up when I saw it, and my face turned red in an instant, that pair of brothers and sisters were not outsiders, but they were brothers and sisters Dai Qin and Nuo Min!
As soon as they came over and saw that Zhu Di and I were obsessed, they were all a little embarrassed, they didn't speak, and even forgot to salute...... Is that you? ”
Dai Qin pulled Nuo Min to kneel down together, "See the emperor, see the concubine." ”
Zhu Di was also a little surprised, but the surprise was fleeting, "It turned out to be your brother and sister, let's be even." ”
Nuo Min Dai Qin stood up one after another, only to see that the two of them were no longer dressed in disguise as before, they were all showing their original appearances, Dai Qin was still handsome and chic, and he looked handsome, and Nuo Min also grew from a teenage girl to a capable woman in her twenties, compared to before, more peugeot and charming, wearing a linen gown, hair tied up high, but not combed bun, it seems that Yun Ying is still unmarried, thinking of this, I am full of guilt, so I asked, "Aren't your brothers and sisters separated?" When did you find each other? ”
Dai Qin smiled faintly, "Half a year ago." Nomin was here and found this good place, so I wanted to settle down, and when I found her, I saw it and liked it very much, so I stayed there, and gradually I didn't want to wander around anymore. ”
I nodded slightly, "It's naturally best that you brothers and sisters can take care of each other together." ”
Nuo Min smiled, took two steps forward, and arched his hands to Zhu Di, "Congratulations on finally ascending to the emperor's throne." Her tone couldn't be said to be sarcastic or sincere, in short, it sounded weird, Zhu Di glanced at her quietly, and didn't answer, I couldn't help but sweat in her heart.
"Nomin, don't be presumptuous!" Dai Qin frowned, scolded Nuo Min, turned around and made a gesture to Zhu Di, and said apologetically, "Please also ask the emperor to forgive me, my sister has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and she is a little ruffian, plus she grew up on the grassland since she was a child, and she speaks without proportion, she actually sincerely blesses the emperor." ”
Zhu Di said lightly, "No need to be polite." Since you two have been here, you should know the most about the flood and the epidemic, tell me what the situation is now? ”
Dai Qin nodded, "I heard Lord Zheng say that the emperor only brought a very small number of entourages to Weifu for a private visit this time, and it is inconvenient to disclose his identity to the outside world, so it is not easy to inquire in many ways. ”
It turns out that here in Henan, it has been raining continuously since August, but there is no flood, and no one pays attention to it. This Kaifeng Mansion Yin is obviously also such a plan, I don't know elsewhere, just Kaifeng, since September, it has been raining continuously, has been falling for more than half a month, the rivers and lakes all over the country have skyrocketed, and gradually there is a flood trend, not to mention whether there is a flood to the people, just this season's grain, has been all eaten by the rain, the last cytoplasm of the dealer, there is no sunshine, soaked in the water, it is all wasted. Later, the water of the Yellow River also soared, and all the prefectures and counties did not pay attention to it, and passed the buck to each other, so that the river mouth burst the embankment, many houses were flooded, and many refugees poured out at once.
Zhu Di listened, frowning all the time, and asked Sanbao in a low voice, "Who are the political envoys of Henan and the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion?" ”
"They are Jiang Youwei and Hu Qing."
Zhu Di sneered, "It's so inactive, it's just ashamed of my name." After saying that, he asked Dai Qin again, "What is the matter with this plague?" ”
Dai Qin smiled, bowed slightly, showed humility, and replied, "Imagine the emperor, where do rats live?" ”
"In the dark and damp land, there are many who live in holes in the fields." I replied.
Dai Qin saw that I answered, his eyes looked at me, generous and sincere, nodded slightly, and said, "Niangniang is right, rats live in dark and damp caves underground, but now the rain is so serious, their underground burrows are flooded, these rats in the mountains and fields, like the people by our estuary, have lost their homes and become refugees, so they can only run around and find a new place to nest." So hungry, even people can't eat, where is there a way for rats to live, so many rats are also drowned and starved to death, people are dead and there is a straw mat wrapped in a bury thing, where is there anyone to care when the rats die? The corpses were everywhere, and after a few days of decay, they carried the disease, and then the living rats spread it around, and they infected the Taoists. To put it simply, that's it. ”
"According to you, is there any solution to this plague?" Zhu Di asked Dai Qin.
"At this point, the solution can only be gradual, but it is also necessary to seek speed and stability, people who have plague must be treated as soon as possible, so that a large number of herbs are needed, the government must send messengers to remove the dead rat carcasses in the field and the streets of the city should be disinfected with wormwood and vinegar, so that the plague can be curbed first, and the plague can be contained, and then we can talk about controlling the flood." Dai Qin said confidently.
Although Zhu Di didn't say anything, there was a sense of appreciation between his eyebrows, "You said the cause of the plague, which means that not only Henan, but also the other two affected provinces, there must also be such a situation, Sanbao, you send someone to spread my will, give a holy decree to the other two provinces, and the places where there is already the plague will be governed according to the method that Dai Qin said, and the places where there has not yet broken out must also strengthen prevention and must contain the epidemic." The herbs were collected by the political envoys of southern Yunnan and Sichuan. ”<
