The third year of Dashun, summer.

When Li Xiuwen became the country, he pacified the war for many years, and later eliminated many malpractices under the imperial examination system and solved the serious problem of land annexation.

After nearly three years of recuperation, the productive forces have gradually recovered, the national strength has increased day by day, and the lives of the people in the world have begun to become much richer than before.

In addition, Zhang Xianzhong and other kings of the opposite sex, who did not listen to the edict when issuing the edict to recruit soldiers, all dismissed the princes and raised troops to fight, which soon stabilized the chaos in various places.

As for the surviving Zhang Xianzhong and others, they also oppressed the local people and expropriated violently after that.

Under Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou and other generals personally went into battle, and under the conscription of troops, the rebellion was completely put down in only three months.

The first year of Dashun can be said to be the most chaotic year of the situation and the panic of the people, but under Li Xiuwen's good use of people and hard work, he finally ended the situation of foreign captives and internal strife and separation, and completely realized reunification.

However, Li Xiuwen is not satisfied with this situation, and his current recuperation is just sufficient preparations for the next army revival.

For Li Xiuwen, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is still too small, and there are still countries such as Annam, Laos, and Dongying that have not yet been surrendered.

However, even Li Xiuwen himself didn't know how many years Liang still needed to recuperate before he could have the conditions to raise an expedition.

Perhaps, twenty years from now, or even longer, will it be your own next generation, or the next generation?

Everything is still unknown.

Perhaps because of the vigorous promotion of high-yield grains, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops, this time will be shortened, maybe it can be achieved when you are in the prime of life?

Although the most fatal problem was solved at the beginning of the establishment of a great country, there are still many things to do in various places.

However, Li Xiuwen is not a personal emperor, in addition to the need to make decisions in major matters, some small matters are handled by a few scholars in the cabinet.

In fact, the power of the Wenchen is slightly greater, and it will not be shaken to the point of its own rule.

A person without soldiers in his hands, even if he has the intention to rebel, it is difficult to achieve great things.

Therefore, Li Xiuwen delegated power, and he took some spare time to take a few beauties to the south of the Yangtze River.

A certain emperor praised by later generations had a lot of pomp and circumstance during his private visit to Weifu, and went down to the south of the Yangtze River several times to consume national strength, just to enjoy the mountains and rivers and build a small jasper in the south of the Yangtze River, leaving a lot of "good stories" for this.

Just like a certain TV series that Li Xiuwen once watched, there is a classic line in it - Your Majesty, do you remember the summer rain lotus on the shore of Daming Lake back then?

Li Xiuwen will not learn from this emperor, and he will work hard and lose money.

This time he went south, he did not alarm the place, only brought a small number of guards with him, and it was a real micro-service patrol.

As for what assassins carried out, it was basically unlikely that the itinerary along the way would be kept secret. Even if there is, it is not prone to danger.

You must know that what Li Xiuwen carries with him are all carefully selected and first-class masters. And he himself is also extraordinary, and what assassin in the world can get close?

The streets of Jinling City are full of people, small traders are shouting and selling in front of their stalls, and business is in full swing as in this season, and the whole city is a prosperous scene.

Li Xiuwen wore a white robe, wore a scarf on his head, and held a folding fan, striding leisurely on the streets of Jinling City, surrounded by a group of guards disguised as subordinates, distributed around, tightly guarding His Majesty and several maidens in the middle.

Those who don't know, just think that this is the wealthy nobleman, leading his wife and concubine to hang out.

Chen Yi followed closely behind Li Xiuwen, and was reporting to him in a low voice the latest news from the capital: "Master, there is news from the family that the eldest lady and the third lady are about to give birth, and they are urging you to go back." ”

"Got it."

Li Xiuwen smiled lightly and bowed his head lightly, and then asked, "Is there any news coming from the compound?" ”

Chen Yi replied: "There are no major events in the compound, and the things that are reported back from outside every day are handled properly by Steward Li." It's really that they can't do it, and they will report to Jinling urgently. ”

"Well, nothing else matters, right?" Li Xiuwen asked.

"It doesn't matter right now." Chen Yi replied.

"That's good, let's go with your wife."

Li Xiuwen smiled, then ignored him, turned back to Wang Bing and the others behind him and smiled: "Madam, we finally came to Jinling this time, do you want to go to the Qinhuai River for a stroll?" ”

"Huh-"

Everyone said in unison, and at the same time rolled their eyes at him, and saw Wang Bing pouting and said, "The ladies in the family are not enough for you to toss, and you still want to attract bees and butterflies?" ”

"How dare I?"

Li Xiuwen responded with a smile, and then laughed heartily, attracting sideways glances from passers-by.

However, although their pomp and circumstance are not big, they are also pretending to be wealthy families, so they are naturally recognizable.

At this moment, a fast horse suddenly caught up from the rear, and immediately a post man arrived at the back of the team and stopped the horse, allowing a guard to lead him in front of Li Xiuwen.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiuwen frowned.

He had already vaguely realized that something big must have happened in the capital that this post guard would find himself openly regardless of the occasion.

The post guard reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there has been a sudden outbreak of plague in the capital, and many people have been infected with this disease, and the situation is very critical!" ”

Li Xiuwen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked about the situation in Beijing in detail, and then decided to set off for Suzhou!

Well, it's true that I'm going to Suzhou.

Because there, there is also a strange person - Wu Youxing, Wu Youke.

Historically, there was a large-scale outbreak of plague in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Youke made a lot of efforts to do so, and his medical skills are beyond doubt.

Now that there is a plague in the capital, only by inviting this person can the epidemic be effectively controlled.

However, Wu Youxing's temperament is more stubborn, and Li Xiuwen is worried that if he doesn't invite him in person, he will show enough sincerity to invite him.

Before that, it is natural to have people send the news back first, and someone will come forward to control the epidemic and stabilize the situation.

There will be some natural and man-made disasters in any dynasty, as long as the national strength is strong and the whole country is united, there will be no big chaos.

After several years of hard work, although Li Xiuwen did not dare to admit that he ruled well, he did not think that his Great Liang Congress was worse than the late Ming Dynasty in history.

Therefore, he is still very confident that he can solve this matter.

The little mouse plague is delusional to shake the foundation of my Great Liang Country?

It's a big joke!
