Chapter 259: Stirring up the hearts of the people
"Madam, your prescription is also amazing, the effect of the medicine is very good, it can be stopped in less than a moment, but we have to look at the situation again, more people will be fine."
The doctor bowed: "Madam, there is one more thing, I want to fight for the people, can you ...... this way"
Zhou Xinzhi shook her head: "I'm sorry, I know you're thinking about the people, but this recipe hasn't been used by a few people, it can prove that it can cure the plague, and I have no way to guarantee its effect, after all, you also saw what the ingredients are in it." ”
The doctor stroked his beard and looked serious: "It's the old man who is abrupt, this matter is indeed still inconclusive, we have to take a look again." ”
Zhou Xinzhi breathed a sigh of relief, of course she knew that this recipe was effective, but she didn't know Qin Qianyu's plan, if it was used properly this time, it could have the greatest effect, smoothly treat many people, and make him stand firm.
But if you take it out rashly, who will give the final reputation, not to mention that they must be the ones who work hard in the middle, and it may not be much of the benefit that can be obtained.
The second is the real murderer, if she really suppressed the plague so quickly, she would not be able to see the mastermind behind the scenes.
Zhou Xinzhi and a few people were sitting in the house, when suddenly there was a violent noise outside the door, and the army directly surrounded the house.
She immediately honked the alarm and stood up to go out to investigate.
"Wait......"
The people behind didn't stop her, and she opened the door, slightly surprised.
It's Qin Qianyu.
"Your Majesty has appointed me this task, and has also allocated me a number of troops, and I have set aside some to take care of Madame."
Zhou Xinzhi shook her head: "Qianyu, you should let these people go to various pharmacies to pinch the source of goods by the way, don't ask him to sell more to other places, or sell high and buy low." ”
"I don't need to take care of this kind of thing."
Zhou Xinzhi checked the medicine in her hand: "A few people here know how to do kung fu, and it would be overkill for you to let them go." ”
"What do you think about the measures I asked you to apply to Your Majesty."
Wei Qing paused: "I am solely responsible for the action this time, and I will do what you say, madam." ”
Wei Qing coughed lightly twice, waved his hand and withdrew the soldiers in the two rows: "You people will go to garrison the city wall, and those who try to come in will be killed, and the corpses will be burned after killing, remember to burn them clean." ”
The two rows of soldiers were a little confused, but they did as they did.
For a time, there were many more people on the city wall.
Qin Qianyu was slightly relieved, "Madam, the assistants on our side do not allow people from outside the wall to come in, and the plague inside our wall will naturally not be able to get out." ”
Zhou Xinzhi nodded: "You go find some women and customize a batch of goods for them, which can cover their mouths and cover their faces, they usually wear this when they walk, and disinfect them with wine when they go home." ”
This can be regarded as an ancient version of a simple mask, so it can cover it up.
Zhou Xinzhi went back and took a pen and paper, drew a rough look, and handed it to Qin Qianyu: "Remember to tell them to sew it tightly, and this thing must be worn every day, as long as you see people, you must wear it, especially the doctor, you must not lose the doctor." ”
Qin Qianyu nodded.
Zhou Xinzhi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, as soon as she came out like this, her temple had no way to investigate.
Her head shook suddenly, and the temple couldn't investigate?
Wouldn't that be too much of a coincidence?
Zhou Xinzhi took a deep breath, but Qin Qianyu didn't say anything, and Qin Shuyu had no motive at all!
To put it bluntly, the plague does not involve the palace at all, and even if it does, it is impossible for the emperor to get it!
So they didn't go for the emperor at all.
Instead...... On the contrary, the temple was for the emperor.
Zhou Xinzhi's heart tightened.
But who would do such a thing?
"Madame, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Qianyu saw that she was shaking again, and stretched out her hand to shake it in front of her.
Zhou Xinzhi was silent for a moment and bit her lip: "Follow me to the inner room." ”
"Qianyu, how is the investigation in the temple, the plague is spreading now, but the temple can't be delayed, I doubt ......"
"You suspect someone is diverting the tiger from the mountain!"
Qin Qianyu is also thorough!
"Yes, that's what I thought, and the plague doesn't know who did it, as long as you have the heart to take advantage of this plague, you can get rid of a lot of them."
Qin Qianyu was also silent, even if this was really the case, he couldn't do anything, the most important thing now was to stabilize the people's hearts, the temple should be temporarily sealed for a while, even if she had the heart, she was powerless.
"Something's wrong, there's an accident!"
The two were silent in the room, and the soldiers outside the door rushed directly into the room in a hurry, almost hitting Qin Qianyu.
"What's the matter!"
Qin Qianyu grabbed the man.
"Second prince, something is wrong! After the city wall was guarded, the gate was locked, and the people outside were not convinced and wanted to rebel! ”
Rebel?
Zhou Xinzhi glanced at him, a rebellion is definitely impossible, but there must be a riot.
"Check it out."
On the city wall, Zhou Xinzhi looked down and his heart sank.
There are obviously only a few scattered beggars in the suburbs, no more than a hundred at most, but now there are sparsely standing outside, and there are 200 people of all kinds, how can so many people suddenly appear?
"There's weirdness."
Zhou Xinzhi frowned.
"Look at that is the prince!"
The people below were bustling, and when they saw a man in dark clothes built on the city wall, they immediately shouted!
"Let us in, let us in, I'm also a citizen of the capital!"
Many people knocked on the door in panic, and a few rotting corpses were piled up under the trees not far from the suburbs.
At first glance, it looks like an empty city, with desolation.
"Zhi'er, will they be infected?"
Zhou Xinzhi's face also sank.
"I don't know, but looking at them like this, no matter what, they came back from sleeping in the open."
"There are more and more people here, and they have suddenly become so many, I don't think it's normal, and you see, there's a horse outside, is that the third prince?"
Zhou Xinzhi narrowed her eyes, the third prince was so coincidental, but unfortunately he was ordered to go out of the city today, in this way, if she was really infected, she couldn't bear the responsibility!
Is she open or not?
"Xin Zhi, my father has issued a holy decree to summon the third brother back to the city."
Qin Qianyu frowned, now that Emperor Jing Xuan had handed over this matter to him, this third brother must also be let in, and the hundreds of families from outside have to make sure that they are not allowed to come in, and it is difficult to do it.
But now that the doctors have not arrived, such a presence will only expand the source of infection.
Between two fires.
Zhou Xinzhi pondered for a moment and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Don't let him in, quickly organize a group of people to buy medicine according to this list, and then prepare a table of good wine and good food to hand down to the third prince from above." ”
"Xin Zhi, this is considered disobedience to the holy decree."
Zhou Xinzhi shook his head: "You can't say that, Your Majesty asked you to stop the plague, this is also an order, and it conflicts with the instructions of the three princes, and the emperor's golden mouth and jade words are also absolutely unchangeable, so you can pretend to be an elm pimple that doesn't know how to be flexible." ”
Qin Qianyu touched her chin and thought about it, it seemed to be such a reason.
As the two were talking, Qin Chaoyue rode a tall horse closer and closer, and the people below saw it, not only did they not let out a road, but blocked it more tightly.
Zhou Xinzhi felt a little strange.
"Guys! I have seen the Three Princes once, this person is the person in the Three Princes, if they don't open the door for us, I don't believe that they won't open the door for the Three Princes! ”
That's a perfect response!
"Second brother."
Qin Chaoyue dismounted neatly and arched his hand towards the top of the city wall.
"Second brother, the younger brother was ordered to return to Beijing, and asked the second brother to open the city gate."
Qin Qianyu smiled faintly, "Third brother, Phoenix did order you to be recalled, but it also handed over the matter of the plague to me, that is, it also ordered me to stop the spread of the plague." ”
"If I open the door rashly, won't I be resisting the decree?"
Qin Chaoyue's eyes were cold, obviously he didn't expect Qin Qianyu to say this.
"Second brother, you can't say that, I want to return to my father today, and if it is delayed, it will be a rebellion."
"I just saw that the second brother said a few words to his sister-in-law, and he couldn't touch the second brother, but he didn't like the third brother, so he did this?"
"I heard that these two princes were lost among the people for many years before they were found, but I didn't expect that as soon as they came back, they put on the posture of the prince, and they were really found from the countryside, and they didn't know how to count etiquette at all!"
"That is, I heard that the second prince is still working against the emperor because of a rural village woman, and a country woman doesn't know what fox tricks she uses to make the prince like this, maybe it is really the fox demon in the mountains!"
"That is to say, how can such a prince take on a great responsibility!"
Qin Chaoyue stood in the crowd with an imperceptible smile on her face.
Many people under the city walls began to echo each other.
Zhou Xinzhi squinted her eyes, and her eyes locked on the provocative man below.
"It seems that your third brother is indeed not a worry-free person, eighty percent of the people below are also his, you look at the strong man in the middle, he can mobilize the emotions of the people around him in just a few words, and it is strange to gather so many people here."
Qin Qianyu nodded, his brows furrowed: "When he came like this, I lost my reputation among the people, and there are some real people among them, so it will inevitably become more and more ugly to hear, and the third brother is indeed a good plan." ”
"What advice does Madame have?"
Although Qin Qianyu said this, there was no trace of anxiety on her face.
Zhou Xinzhi raised her eyebrows, "What else, just do what I said before." ”
Qin Qianyu nodded, called his henchmen to order him to go down, and soon brought a large pot of stoves, even rice, noodles, oil and salt.
Zhou Xinzhi glanced at Qin Qianyu, and he immediately cleared his throat: "Today, this king's wife Xinzhi will cook for you, and the city gate will be opened, but it will take a day or two to wait." ”
