Chapter 86: The Epidemic
Since the rebellion of the June Prince, the Great Shang Dynasty has been surging, and there are many undercurrents lurking under the seemingly calm appearance, just waiting for a fuse to ignite everything. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the early days of the dynasty, Emperor Shang was furious, and the reason turned out to be the flood in the southwest. This season happens to be the rainy season in the southwest, and the rainy weather has caused several towns and villages to suffer, and the affected refugees have been uprooted.
Originally, floods were very common in Dashang, especially in the rainy places in the southwest, and this kind of thing was that the local officials adjusted it, provided disaster relief, and resettled the masses. However, this year's newly appointed officials were afraid of affecting Emperor Shang's impression of him, so they concealed it and did not report it, so they did not help the people at all and blocked the victims outside the city gate!
Rainy and humid weather, no food, no clothes, no fullness, no warmth...... The harsh living conditions soon gave rise to illness, and some of the elderly, infirm, women and children soon fell ill...... And just like that, the plague broke out!
Things have come to this point, the local governor even concealed it and did not report it, and surrounded several neighboring states and counties under martial law into a huge refugee camp.
Their local officials are a nest of snakes and rats, nesting in the government all day long, and they don't care about a group of people outside!
The traveling students passed through Southwest Puxian County and were surprised to see the local epidemic outside the city, so they brought the news back. At the same time, the emperor's spies also brought back the news of the epidemic in the southwest, and this time, Emperor Shang was furious, such a careless thing would happen in his own land, what were those local officials doing with Yulu! This kind of thing can be seized, what else do they dare not do!
"Look at it, look at it!" The enraged emperor threw the fold from the spy to the ground and struck the hearts of all those present.
"My big merchant still has this kind of moth! It's really weird, the ministry, the ministry? Emperor Shang's face was red, and he looked around for the person responsible for this disaster.
An official in a crimson official uniform walked out tremblingly, and his whole heart was about to rise to his throat, "Back to Your Majesty, Chen Xuan, the official is here." ”
"This is the so-called good officials with virtue and talent you picked, and this is the group of officials you reported a year ago! How could there be so many people in my big business! Check it all out! Emperor Shang vented his anger fiercely, venting his uneasiness that there was nowhere to put it.
"The ministers are guilty......" A large number of officials knelt down with a hula la, shouting that the ministers were guilty and could not share their worries for His Majesty.
Looking at this group of people who didn't have any ideas at the critical moment, Emperor Shang had nowhere to start......
The young prime minister took a step forward to look at Chun'an's staring at the expectations of a large group of people, "Back to Your Majesty, the reason for this matter is that the official system of our dynasty is not perfect, but it is imperative to ask Your Majesty to send more people to the southwest to solve the problem of plague and floods." ”
As soon as these words came out, the officials below had their own ideas, no matter what they thought for the time being, Emperor Shang was happy that someone finally raised the most important question, but it was not a simple question who to send.
"According to Aiqing, who is the right person to go to disaster relief?" Emperor Shang slowly sat back on the dragon chair and suppressed all the anger in his heart.
"There is a candidate for the minister, and this year's new young talent Xu Zhong may be able to." Xu Zhong, who said to Chun'an, was the top three in this year's scientific examination, this person is still young and inexperienced, and he is not a candidate who can handle this matter well.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, I saw Emperor Shang's brows furrowed, "Let's discuss it later, and confirm everything else first." ”
In fact, Emperor Shang's concerns are very simple, since ancient times, these major events have been handled by the crown prince and prince, but now the position of the middle palace is vacant, and the second prince is newly married, not to mention that the open and secret battles among several princes are too turbulent, and it is not a good decision to send anyone out now.
"Please go." It was the War King Huang Fu Han who suddenly spoke.
This is a solution to an urgent need for Emperor Shang, not to mention that the current situation is not suitable for the princes to go out on business, it is this plague, to be honest, Emperor Shang is reluctant to let his son go out. Who is not selfish!
"Can the War King be confident that he will solve this flood plague?" Emperor Shang was still a little unbearable, after all, it was his younger brother, although this younger brother was a little restless.
"The ministers will do everything they can to clear the floods and solve the plagues." Huangfu said categorically.
……
"Okay, then according to what the King of War said, come here, give an order......" After the silence, Emperor Shang finally ordered that Emperor Fu Han of War was responsible for this flood.
Huang Fu Han's heart was very heavy, originally at this time, he said that he should not leave Kyoto, everyone could see that Emperor Shang couldn't hold on for long, and if he went out now, he would lose the opportunity, but he really couldn't watch so many people suffering from the plague and dying without corpses, just like he did at the beginning......
"Your Highness is saying that you have asked Your Majesty for an order to solve this plague?" Shun Garden, in the new house of Mu Jingtan, the two sat opposite each other.
"Yes!" The War King nodded, "I also know that now is not the time, but, but I can't ......" Huang Fu Han's face showed a sad expression.
Mu Jingtan smiled instead, smiling like a spring breeze, "Your Highness, I'm glad that I didn't misunderstand anyone, you can put down everything here at this time to help those refugees who have been eroded by disasters, which shows that you still have the kind of benevolence that an emperor must have." ”
Mu Jingtan slowly came out from behind the table, half leaning on the small couch, and his upper body looked at Huangfu Han deeply, "Please accept Jingtan's worship." ”
"What are you doing, sir!" Huangfu Han, who was frightened, hurriedly got up and grabbed Mu Jingtan, "Mr. has the grace of reinvention for me, I can't accept this gift." ”
Mu Jingtan got up and said bluntly, "Your Highness can go with confidence, in addition, I have also read some books on water conservancy, so I know a little about it, so I beg you to go with Your Highness." ”
"This is unacceptable! Sir, it's important to stay in Kyoto and take care of your health. The War King strongly objected.
"I can help if I go, with Shuming and Chord Song staying here, the situation in Kyoto is safe, Your Highness doesn't need to worry." Mu Jingtan insisted on going to the southwest together.
Huangfu Han looked at Xian Ge, who had been silent next to him, with a pleading eye, hoping that she could stop her.
"Ah Tan, if you want to go, I have to go with you, if not, don't think about it!" Xian Ge mercilessly cut off the idea of Mu Jingtan wanting to go alone.
It's Huangfu Han's face full of speechlessness, I'm asking you to persuade you, it's good, one or two are clamoring to go, it's a disaster area, there is a plague, and it's not going out for sightseeing!
Mu Jingtan smiled helplessly, "Kyoto needs you ......"
"With Shuming here, as well as Yusu and Banxia, you have arranged everything, haven't you!" Xian Ge smiled indifferently, and wiped out all the careful thoughts of Mu Jingtan.
……
The matter was decided in this way, and Mu Jingtan and Xian Ge went to the southwest with the king of war for disaster relief, and by the way, they also brought a miracle doctor "Mo Xie" to leave the two protectors of the night crying ghost and Feng Shuming to settle in Kyoto.
On the day of leaving, Huangfu suddenly came to Shunyuan, firstly, to say goodbye to the two of them, but to tell them about a long time ago.
It turned out that Huangfu Han had just fought with the army, and when he cleared out the bandits in the north, the army caught up with a sudden heavy snowfall and was trapped in a ravine.
The scene at that time can be said to be tragic, 30,000 people, a full 300,000 big merchant soldiers, did not die on the battlefield, but died in those unpopular means.
The army was trapped for more than three months before it was rescued, and at that time there were less than a hundred people left, and Emperor Fu Han was among the 100 people who survived. But after that, Huang Fuhan didn't leave his room for half a year, and I don't know what kind of blow that incident brought to this iron-blooded man......
After listening to this story, Xian Ge couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, it turned out that there should be such a reason, no wonder Huang Fuhan had to go to disaster relief no matter what he said!
"Don't worry, the sixth prince, we will definitely bring His Highness back." Xian Ge looked at the clean teenager in front of him and reassured.
The sixth prince Huang Fu was a little shy, "Uncle Huang will be fine, he is very strong." You have to take good care of yourself, and you have to come back safely! ”
"Well, thank you for ......" (To be continued.) )
