More than a month has passed since the plague raged in the capital, and it has been a month since Qin Niang returned from the south.

Yang House.

Song Yu's rare visit, Yang Yuanhai was inevitably a little caught off guard, he thought that Song Yu had something to discuss with him, but Song Yu came to find Qin Niang.

But what he wanted to say was not to be said to anyone, so he did not let Yang Yuanhai avoid it, so after the next person finished serving refreshments, there were only three people in the main hall: the father and daughter of the Yang family and Song Yu.

"I know that during the Yang family's filial piety, it is a little inappropriate for the palace to visit rashly, but now that the plague is spreading rapidly, and there is a faint uncontrollable trend, the people have begun to panic, and if this continues, the palace is afraid that there will be a riot in the capital, I know that Miss Yang has always had many ideas, so I came to the house to ask for an idea."

Song Yu's words were extremely modest, and he didn't care about showing his "pleasing idea" attitude extremely sincerely.

After Qin Niang beat Mrs. Yang and buried her, she went to the Gu family's old house to pick up her daughter that day, and left a letter of resignation, the Gu family naturally tried her best to dissuade her, how could her heart be cold, as long as she thought that she didn't even see her grandmother for the last time for such an unworthy man, she hated it in her heart.

But after all, she took care of the face of the Gu family, and didn't say anything, only said that they would ask Gu Chen in person when he came back, and she didn't say anything about Hufu to the outside world, and only her own family knew about this matter from beginning to end.

Song Yu is a very smart and sensitive person, since he returned from the south, he no longer looked back at home, but led his daughter to move back to her parents' house directly, he guessed that she must have happened in the south, but this is the private matter of the husband and wife, he is a prince of the East Palace, and it is not good to ask too much.

However, now that she has moved back to her parents' house, he naturally calls her "Miss Yang" in a kind way, for fear that if she is unhappy, he will directly drive him, the prince, out of the mansion, which will not look good.

In the past, when Song Huai was still the crown prince, she had not done this kind of thing, and he also knew seven or eight points about the temperament of the Yang family, so he would not use the relationship between monarchs and ministers to suppress them.

Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, Qin Niang naturally didn't care about the fact that he was good friends with Gu Chen, and rewarded him with a good face.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to ask for advice in person, and the courtiers naturally couldn't refuse, about the plague, I think the imperial doctors are also a little eyebrows, that is, these people are infected too quickly, so that before they can be treated, many people were infected over there, and this epidemic came so suddenly, the courtiers asked people to check it."

Qin Niang took a sip of tea, raised her eyes and glanced at Song Yu, knowing that he had also investigated the matter, so she didn't say much more, and only said the main point: "I remember that the prince of Miao Jiang laughed proudly before leaving and said that we would never think of why King Miao would send him over, so I asked someone to check, this prince of Miao Jiang is good at drugs." ”

Naturally, the Miao people are good at poison, but as soon as this prince of Miao Jiang made a move, almost all the cities died, because there is a poison similar to the plague, which will be contagious, will spread, and will spread stronger and stronger, once he makes a move, if there is no antidote, almost no one can be spared.

For this, Song Yu naturally found out, so he nodded clearly: "After the prince of Miao Jiang was escorted to the border pass, he tried to poison the army and was executed on the spot, and his body was still hanging outside the city gate for three days. ”

This point was written in detail in Gu Chen's military newspaper.

"Therefore, the plague courtiers in the capital suspect that he did it, just like the last time the Miaojiang delegation entered the capital and caused a small-scale plague, this time, they also did it, but last time they just wanted to take the opportunity to ask us for more benefits, so it was not so heavy, this time, it seems that it is not easy."

Qin Niang sighed, she also sent someone out to find the whereabouts of Doctor Xiao, hoping that he could come to Beijing as soon as possible, otherwise, once the people in Beijing rioted, and then fled in all directions, at that time, even if there was a big victory ahead, this interior would be about to be unbearable.

This Miao man is really vicious, and he is always thinking about disturbing Donglin and annexing this big fat meat.

"Since the imperial doctors already have eyebrows, the biggest problem now is that the infection is too fast, the courtiers thought, these people have been isolated, why do they still infect so many people, for this reason, the courtiers went to the epidemic area in the east of the city yesterday to carefully observe." Qin Niang pinched a piece of osmanthus cake, took a bite and said.

Song Yu raised her eyebrows, waiting for her next.

Yang Yuanhai on the side had no room to interject, he was surprised that Song Yu would come to Yang Mansion to ask his daughter for advice, and on the other hand, he was surprised that Song Yu didn't have half a stand in front of Qin Niang, and he seemed to look like an old friend, which surprised him and was very suspicious.

However, the two men ignored his suspicions, and just discussed the response to the epidemic on their own.

"Your Highness, the courtiers have observed that those infected people are quarantined and smelled, but there are still people who visit them every day, and they do not take any protective measures in and out, and the doctors come in and out every day and come into contact with the outside of the epidemic area, so it is no different from not being isolated." Qin Niang said lightly.

Song Yu couldn't help but glance at her more.

Qin Niang continued: "I have checked the historical books and the historical epidemic prevention experience of various countries these days, and I found that our current isolation method is problematic. ”

Then, she pulled a piece of paper out of her sleeve pocket and handed it over.

"The above lists a series of epidemic prevention steps and matters that need to be paid attention to in the past few days, and you let people implement them according to this set of standards, and patients in the epidemic area are not allowed to visit, nor do they need their relatives to deliver meals, and the state will uniformly distribute meals to them, so that they will no longer infect those healthy people outside."

Qin Niang said as she stared at Song Yu's expression change.

Song Yu quickly read the content on the paper, and instantly felt like an initiation, he raised his eyes suddenly, and said, "You still have a way, this palace will order it and let people implement it." ”

"In addition, Your Highness, I once made a batch of masks for the soldiers in the south, I think, this plague is not trivial, and it is also necessary to wear masks, especially those soldiers who are responsible for guarding the epidemic area, and the tents in the epidemic area should be more ventilated, if possible, one person and one tent as much as possible, don't squeeze too many people in it at one time."

Qin Niang made dozens of suggestions in one go, Song Yu wrote them down one by one, and before leaving, she solemnly arched her hand, so shocked that Yang Yuanhai almost didn't kneel.

Qin Niang didn't dare to accept his courtesy, so she turned sideways to avoid it.

When Song Yu walked, his steps seemed to carry the wind.

At this moment, the porter rushed in all the way, shouting as he ran: "Master, good news, the good news of eight hundred miles of urgency, the southern border has won a big victory, and it has also captured Miao Jiang in one fell swoop, and the army will be able to reach the army in a few days." ”

When Yang Yuanhai heard this, his tight heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The crisis in the south has been resolved, which means that there is no need to burn a lot of money in the south, I really didn't expect that Gu Chen was still a good leader, and he only went to the south for a few months, and he took down the entire Miao Jiang.

"Looks like I'm going to have to be busy again." Yang Yuanhai sighed and said.

Miao Jiang has become the territory of the east, and how to manage the water and soil on that side is a headache for him.

However, this good news did not make the people in Beijing happy for a few days, and there was news that King Huai had raised troops to rebel and was approaching the imperial city.

The hearts of the people in the capital are really like the fifteen buckets, seven up and eight down, now all the troops have been sent out, and the total number of defenders in the capital does not exceed 20,000, if Song Huai attacks at this time, then does the capital still have the ability to defend?

Yang Yuanhai's hair has been turning gray these days.

"Isn't it good for this King Huai to stay in Huaizhou? I have to raise troops to rebel. Yang Yuanhai walked around the room, only feeling that his head was too big.

Now the security in the guard is all controlled by Yang Hong, if the guards are not effective, let Song Huai attack in, let alone Yang Hong, the entire Yang family will be finished.

Oh, if Song Huai succeeded in forcing the palace to rebel, he would not have left the Yang family alive.

"Now that the plague in Beijing has not been eliminated, then King Huai has come to rebel again, at this time, what can he do if he gets the world? What is the use of a shell state for him? Yang Yuanhai just couldn't figure it out, why did he have to fight to the death, he was sure that as long as he was safe, the emperor would never kill him.

Although he is thousands of miles away from Beijing in Huaizhou, the emperor is far away there, so he can naturally be the overlord of one side, why does he have to come back to fight? Even if he took the palace, as soon as Gu Chen's army returned to Beijing, the stragglers he recruited in Huaizhou would still be able to fight with the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Gu Chen?

That's the iron horse that took down Miao Jiang with lightning speed!

"Dad, Song Huai can't beat the capital, you can rest assured." Qin Niang said very firmly.

Moreover, even if he really came to the capital, and Song Yu was still in charge in the capital, he was also a man who had been on the battlefield, if he couldn't even handle tens of thousands of counter-soldiers, then he wouldn't be worthy of that position.

"How can you be sure he won't be able to fight here?" Yang Yuanhai asked.

"The secret guard reported to me, Song Huai colluded with Miao to have today's power, now more than half of the Miao soldiers are killed and wounded, most of them have fallen, those in Song Huai's hands are just secretly taken away in Huaizhou in the past few years, in just three years, what kind of iron cavalry can he train? Moreover, the southern side has been watching his movements, and he can't run. ”

Although Qin Niang didn't want to mention Gu Chen, she also had to admit that Gu Chen was very good in combat.

As long as Song Huai moves, Gu Chen must know that if he wants to attack the capital at that time, he will also see if Gu Chen will allow it.
