After receiving the "blackmail and kidnapping" letter from Wanjian Villa, Qin Yixuan read it again and again, and after his mood calmed down, he announced Lei Ao. He "put his heart to heart" with him in the imperial study, explained a lot of reasons, and told him that Wanjian Villa could not be moved.

"But Your Majesty, this Ten Thousand Swords Villa is always a scourge." Lei Ao was not convinced.

"Then let me ask you, are you sure that you will destroy the Ten Thousand Swords Villa at once, kill Li Gaowo, and never suffer in the future? Have you ever considered the consequences of doing so? ”

"As long as the emperor is determined, these can be discussed in the long run, and there will always be a way."

"Shut up if you don't!" Qin Yixuan said unhappily, "Li Gaowo's martial arts have reached the realm of transcendence, if you can't raze the Ten Thousand Swords Villa in one fell swoop, you will be startled instead." I ask you, even if the Ten Thousand Swords Villa is wiped out by the army you sent, as long as Li Gaowo or You Lie is still alive, will it be easy to sneak into the palace and pick my head? Can't you stop them from being ghostly? ”

"This ......" Lei Ao wanted to say yes, but he really didn't know that way.

"Hmph, then you dare to mention it!" Qin Yixuan asked, "Do you think that if I die, I can let the crown prince succeed to the throne, and your Lei family will not be able to stand from now on?" ”

"The last general will not dare!" Lei Ao knelt on the ground with a "bang", "My Lei family is loyal to the emperor, and I hope that the emperor will be clear." Regarding the matter of Ten Thousand Swords Villa, the last general is confused! The last general is a rough man, not as far-sighted as the emperor, but the Lei family is indeed dedicated to the emperor! ”

"For me?" Qin Yixuan snorted coldly, "Lei Yulin privately mobilized people and horses in a vain attempt to shoot Li Xueqing, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if Li Xueqing is really dead!" Long Yuheng didn't save Li Xueqing, it was your entire Lei family, do you understand? ”

"It's the last general who is stupid, and the last general understands now!"

"It's good to understand. Lei Ao, you are the general who protects the country, don't be narrow-minded like a woman. Lei Yulin's mistakes cannot be tolerated, I sent her into the cold palace, did not give her death, and did not harm others, I already care about the face of your Lei family. ”

"Thank Emperor Longen!"

"Ten Thousand Swords Villa, I can't rest assured, but I can only outwit it, and I can't be in a hurry. I can only rest easy when I take Li Xueqing's mother and daughter back to the palace, understand? ”

"The last general understands that the last general will never mention the matter of Wanjian Villa in the court in the future, and everything will be at the disposal of the emperor."

"Let's go down."

"The last will retire!"

Lei Ao was pardoned, walked out of the imperial study quickly, a gust of wind blew, and he felt a chill, only to realize that he was shocked into a cold sweat, and his clothes were sticky on his body. If it weren't for the soft armor in the way, I'm afraid it would be a shame. Unexpectedly, in order to protect Wanjian Villa and Li Xueqing, the emperor actually charged him with a vain attempt to harm the Son of Heaven and hold the young emperor hostage, which is enough to destroy the nine clans.

He was not stupid, he knew that the emperor was just beating him this time, he was in a hurry, and the emperor saw his careful thoughts. But what about the next time, I can't predict it. Lei Ao hesitated for a moment, but still went to the harem to ask to see the queen's mother, the original virtuous concubine, his sister Lei Yuhua.

Lei Ao's actions quickly reached Qin Yixuan's ears, and he didn't say anything, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the table. Yuhua is still quite knowledgeable, and he knows what to say, the Lei family should be quiet for a while, but what he and Lei Ao said is not all lies.

Although Li Gaowo did not rebel, the strength of Ten Thousand Swords Villa really made him jealous. Fortunately, Li Gaowo has no ambitions, he values family affection, with Xueqing and Yimeng, as long as it does not touch his bottom line, Wanjian Villa will not pose a threat to the imperial court.

However, no one can guarantee that the Ten Thousand Swords Villa will always be in the hands of Li Gaowo, so it is a threat to keep it after all. For the sake of the century-old foundation of Great Qin, Wanjian Villa will not be able to stay, but he has no perfect plan now, and he can't act rashly.

Qin Yixuan would go to Wanjian Villa at least twice a year, once for Yimeng's birthday and once for the year before. He can't go to Xueqing's birthday, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor is in the palace, this is the rule of the ancestors, he can only go in advance.

Although he could only sneak a few glances at her every time he went, this did not hinder his enthusiasm to go to Ten Thousand Swords Villa. In addition to watching Xue Qing, he also has to see his daughter, and he also has to show loyalty in front of Li Gaowo and stabilize Wanjian Villa.

If you ask him why he didn't go to Qingyi Pavilion with a dead face, because Miss Li had already spoken, if he harassed her without her consent, she would disappear forever, so he could only watch her from a distance, or go directly to the door to ask for a meeting, or create some chance encounters.

Although he ate a lot of closed-door soup and didn't give him a good face when they met, he was still very happy. Because he could feel that she had actually forgiven him, but she couldn't get over the hurdles in her heart after all. As long as she can't let go of the past, she won't accept him, and if she wants to let go completely, in addition to time, she also needs an opportunity.

However, on Yimeng's birthday this year, Qin Yixuan stayed in the palace, because he couldn't leave, because there was a major plague in Yizhou Mansion that had not been encountered in a century.

At this time, he was looking at the urgent report from the Yizhou Mansion, the above:

The plague spread rapidly, and after two miracle doctors came two days ago, the epidemic was suppressed. In order to stop the further spread of the plague and prevent healthy people from being infected, the goddess doctor proposed the separation of personnel.

Gather all confirmed plague patients in one place as an epidemic area. After disinfection away from the epidemic area, a healthy area is divided, and then a number of small areas are divided, and every 50 healthy people are gathered in a small area, centralized observation, and daily anti-epidemic drugs, if there are no patients after seven days, then transferred to the transition area built outside the city. After another seven days of observation in the transition zone, if there are still no patients, the group can continue to stay in the transition zone, or they can leave Yizhou to live elsewhere.

Zheng Zhizhou believed that this plan was feasible, but it required a lot of manpower and financial resources, as well as a large number of medicinal materials, so he asked the imperial court for permission and appropriation.

"What do you think?" Qin Yixuan looked at the ministers who were discussing in the imperial study.

The stakes are so high that the ministers look at each other, not daring to speak falsely, for fear of becoming the first bird.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this method is feasible." Seeing that no one dared to come forward, Shang Shu Qiao Shuo stood up.

"Qiao Shangshu, if there is a sick person among the people who are released, I am afraid that other state capitals will suffer!" Shangshu Yuan Shu raised objections. Longlong

"The last general also agrees with Yuan Shangshu's opinion."

"Oh, General Ray, what do you suggest?" Qin Yixuan asked.

"The last general thinks that slaughtering the city is the best solution."

"Bastard!" Qin Yixuan slammed the report to the ground, "The plague patients are less than one percent, and you are trying in vain to ignore the hundreds of thousands of people in Yizhou Prefecture!" ”

"Your Majesty, the plague spreads exponentially every day, and it will soon spread to the entire Yizhou Capital. In order to protect the health of the people in other state capitals of Daqin, I can only sacrifice Yizhou. Historically, because plagues have slaughtered cities, the last general doesn't think there's anything wrong with this method! ”

"Your Majesty, this move must not be!" Qiao Shuo hurriedly said, "Slaughtering the city is the next resort when it is absolutely necessary, if it is slaughtered, the people's hearts will be lost." Zheng Zhizhou mentioned in the report that since the arrival of the miracle doctor, the epidemic has been controlled. Since the divine doctor can control the epidemic, the divine doctor judged that the people who can go out of the city must be harmless. Qiao Shuo invited himself to bring money, food and medicinal herbs to Yizhou Mansion, and asked the emperor for permission. ”

Qin Yixuan's eyes were sharp, and after sweeping everyone in a circle, he looked at Qiao Shuo and said, "Qiao Shangshu, are you sure?" ”

"Qiao Shuo hereby swears to the emperor that things are here! After the last people in Yizhou Mansion recovered, Qiao Shuo came back to meet the emperor! ”

"Okay, Qiao Shuo listens! I now appoint you as a Qincha and be in charge of the fight against the epidemic in Yizhou Prefecture. Give Shang Fang the sword, hurry up and do it cheaply! ”

Qiao Shuo kowtowed deeply: "Emperor Xie!" ”

"The emperor thinks twice!" Lei Ao dissuaded again, "The stakes are very high, and I ask the emperor to think about it in the long run." ”

"The emperor thinks twice!" The ministers seconded the proposal.

"You have no jokes, this matter is decided! All the courtiers must fully cooperate with Qiao Qincha to complete the task, and if anyone says more or obstructs him, he will resist the decree! ”

"Wechen obeys!" Seeing that the emperor was about to be angry again, the ministers consciously corrected their attitudes.

"Stand down. Qiao Shuo stayed. ”

After the ministers retreated, Xiaolong, who was guarding outside, walked in: "Your Majesty, please let the last general go to Yizhou with Qiao Shangshu." ”

"Sit down, you're indispensable. Shimmer, tell me what you think. ”

"Your Majesty, the courtiers think ......"

"Your Majesty, the national teacher has sent eight hundred miles to expedite!"

Qin Yixuan was dissatisfied: "At this time, he came to add to the mess, bring it!" "Dissatisfied is dissatisfied, Qin Yixuan still opened it for the first time.

Thinking about whether it would be because this time there was no past, the girl wanted to see herself, but she refused to admit it. If so, he should also reply to her, this time he really can't go, and he will disappoint her again, and he will compensate her well when the epidemic is over.

There were only two lines on the letter, Qin Yixuan read it at a glance, and then he showed a shocked expression, and read the letter carefully twice, and it could be seen that he was trying to control it not to attack.

Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo couldn't help but look at each other, what happened to that one at this time?

Qin Yixuan slowly crumpled the letter paper into a ball and squeezed it in his palm, his fists clenched tighter and tighter, as if he was struggling.

Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo waited quietly, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

After half a cup of tea, Qin Yixuan took the case: "Xiaolong, Xiaoshuo, you go back immediately to prepare, we will leave for Yizhou in an hour!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't do it!" This time, even his henchman Xiao Shuo didn't agree, "The emperor is a golden body, and he can't go to the epidemic area!" ”

"I have made up my mind, if you have the heart to worry about me, you will be ready to transport the medicinal materials before you leave."

"Wechen obeys!"

"Xiaolong, you go to the Sixteen Guards and transfer two teams of cavalry to Yizhou with us."

"Yes!"

"Li Chunyang, pass on my will, and order Lei Ao to take 100,000 horses to Yizhou Mansion to assist Zheng Zhizhou in organizing the people to be resettled in batches and out of the city in an orderly manner!"

"Slaves obey!"
