Article 229 Woe and Blessing 2
Of course, this is also because most of the parents of the remaining children are poor.
Whether it is war or plague, these parents have no ability to take their children away, they can only stay in Bianliang City, even if they know that it is very likely to wait for death, but with their financial resources, where can they go? If you really get out of the city, maybe you will die faster and more completely.
What's more, although Cai's School is also dangerous, it has always remained closed, and now it is not allowed to enter, and the threat of infection is much safer than in the homes of these children.
At this time, the two academies opened by Zheng Xia had already dismissed their students and closed the two academies. If a student died in the college, he could not afford it.
However, this time, neither the palace nor the Kaifeng Mansion came forward to refute the rumors at the first time. All of a sudden, both officials and ordinary people in Bianliang City fell into confusion and panic.
Cai Jing did know the situation, but as long as Song Shenzong didn't express his position, he, the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, couldn't do anything at all. And there is no way to refute the rumors in the palace, because people's speculation is the truth.
Now, Song Shenzong no longer cares about mourning the two children who have died, and now, he is even more worried about how his children who are still alive should deal with the next smallpox outbreak.
One day at the end of March, Cai's School ushered in an uninvited guest that no one expected.
This person is the prince of Yan'an, the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Maid.
"Your Highness, how can you come here?" Hua Qiyi has naturally seen Zhao Maid, although he is only a few months older than Cai Dao, but this is the second most powerful person in the world.
In the past, when he was in the nursery school, as long as Hua Qian saw Zhao Maid, he must have knelt down immediately, and he didn't even dare to raise his head in front of him. This time it was the same, but the difference was that although Hua Qiqi was kneeling, he also wrote this matter on a cloth for the first time, and shot it into a big tree behind the wall of the school with a ringing arrow.
The children were vaccinated with cowpox and naturally did not contract smallpox. But the outside world and Zeng Gong don't know why! Therefore, Cai Dao could only completely block the Cai Academy on the surface.
The daily needs of fruits, vegetables, water, firewood and charcoal are all driven by Hua Qiqi and people to the outside of the second layer of the wall of the school with a cart, and after they leave, the craftsmen in the school will push the car in.
This repetition is indeed a complete elimination of any contact with the outside world on the surface, and besides, the water that the children drink has always been dug out of the wells inside the school and boiled before drinking.
Things are so complicated, which makes Zhao Maid angry and curious.
"Big flower! It's only been less than a year, and your courage has become so big that you dare to stand in the way of this king. "Zhao Maid is here this time, she is in a hurry to see Cai Dao, how can she let such a fool block her way.
"That's it, you bold martial artist, you dare to stop our Royal Highness the Crown Prince, come on, cut this thing down, and smash open the gate." This time, it was a little eunuch who jumped out again.
It seems that what kind of master there is, what kind of dog there is, Cai Dao abolished the little eunuch He Sui who was powerful in the Zhezong Dynasty before, but he didn't expect such a master to appear behind Zhao Maid.
Hua Xianqi trembled with fright, he was not afraid of this little eunuch who was fighting with people. But I was afraid that Zhao Maid would listen to the words of this little eunuch and really let his subordinates smash the door open, and he and his brothers couldn't just do it themselves, and when the time came, if they really fought, they would definitely cause a big disaster to the son. If his own cheap life is gone, it will be gone, but if it affects Gongzi and Mr. Zeng, it will be more than worth the loss.
Fortunately, Zhao Maid was aggressive, but he didn't move, Hua Qian seized the opportunity, and this time he finally said it all: "Your Highness, you are laughing." Even if the Sprinkle family has ten guts, they don't dare to stop you! It's not that you won't let in, but you can't get in. The school has been completely closed. Don't believe it, you see, the gate of this second wall has been locked from the inside, and if Gongzi and Mr. Zeng don't let the door open, no one will be able to enter inside! ”
"Lonely ......" Zhao Maid was angry for a while, and asked angrily, "Where is that stinky Taoist priest?" Who gave him the right, dared to seal the school, dared to stop this king! ”
When Zhao Maid said this, it was a little unreasonable. Cai's school is Cai Dao's private property, and he has not committed any royal law, so he naturally wants to close it, just open the door and watch the door, and he doesn't need to ask anyone's opinion at all.
In this situation, even if Song Shenzong personally came here, Cai Dao would dare not let this Ninety-Five Supreme enter his academy, let alone him, the crown prince.
What's more, as long as Zeng Gong is still here, no one dares to break here.
For a moment, the two sides were deadlocked.
Fortunately, Cai Dao didn't let Hua Xianqi wait too long, and the people in the courtyard naturally knew the importance of sounding arrows. Otherwise, Hua Xianqi would not have used this method to report the message.
Cai Dao received the strip of cloth written by Hua Xianqi for the first time, and he knew that something big was going to happen. However, why did Zhao Maid come to him? Even if Song Shenzong is really seriously ill, he shouldn't look for himself at this time!
What's more, when is it now, smallpox is raging in Bianliang City, who is so bold as to dare to let the crown prince run around. Cai Daoke knew very well that Xiao Zhao had not suffered from smallpox, and he did not dare to stick a needle in a crown prince casually.
It is an indisputable fact that vaccinia can prevent smallpox infection in vaccinated people, but Cai Dao also knows that this method will not be 100% successful, because there is still a certain risk in the case of cowpox itself, and it will cause complications with a certain probability, which will be more deadly than the real smallpox virus for these special people.
"Big flower, bring His Highness outside the gate!" After Cai Dao came to the gate of the second wall, he commanded Hua Xianqi in his throat, but he didn't have the slightest intention of opening the door to let Zhao Maid in.
"Childe, Your Highness has arrived." When the flowers said this, they all made a trill.
Cai Dao knew that this guy was really scared. It's really hard for him that this guy can hold out until now.
"Okay, Dahua, you go down first!" Cai Dao couldn't bear to be guilty in front of Zhao Maid again, and deliberately said that he wanted to break him apart.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Maid didn't let go of Hua Xuanyi, and seeing that Cai Dao didn't open the door, he asked his subordinates to watch the guy, and loudly told Cai Dao to open the door: "Who allowed him to go, stinky Taoist, hurry up and open the door, this king has something urgent for you to do." ”
"Your Highness, as the saying goes, nothing will go to the Three Treasures Palace! Now is a very moment, who is so bold as to dare to release you out of the palace! You have never acted steadily, why did you act so lightly this time, is it that the eunuch behind you has slandered you again. After saying so many words, it was actually all nonsense, Cai Dao didn't ask Zhao Maid about his intentions, and as he spoke, he began to talk nonsense, and even questioned Zhao Maid instead. When he said this, he actually wanted to get rid of this bane.
"This King ......"
"Your Highness, as the saying goes, the son of a daughter can't sit down, your life is so noble, let's go back to the palace quickly! Someone came and beat the little eunuch who interjected just now to death, he must have been slandering. Cai Dao not only interrupted Zhao Maid's words, but also began to talk nonsense again. He called someone, and it was impossible for Zhao Maid's subordinates to listen to him, and those people didn't dare to move.
"Presumptuous, you stinky Taoist priest......"
"Bold, you Luo Guozi actually dare to talk to His Highness like this, hurry up and watch the door, otherwise ......"
"Otherwise, the little eunuch outside, Poor Dao may be punished or imprisoned this time, but unfortunately, you can't see it, and even whether you who run around with His Highness this time can see the sun tomorrow is unknown." Cai Dao was not afraid of Zhao Maid's threat at all, and he even threatened those subordinates who accompanied Zhao Maid out of the palace.
However, Cai Dao was not wrong in what he said, even if it was Zhao Maid's own idea to leave the palace this time, but the people around him not only did not fight to the death, but helped Zhao Maid get out of the palace gate. For the sake of Zhao Maid's face, even if Song Shenzong didn't kill these people, they would inevitably end up in a first-class three thousand miles! And this little eunuch is even more certain to die!
"Come on, smash this door open for me." Zhao Maid couldn't hold back any longer, and he didn't want to listen to Cai Dao's nonsense, he immediately ordered his subordinates to smash open the door in front of him.
"Hua Qiyi, just stand by and watch, don't let the brothers do it." Cai Dao commanded loudly, but he was not worried at all, because this door was made of a single piece of iron. Without large siege engines, don't even think about getting in. These people are really stupid, no one actually found out, this wall is actually not high at all, as long as a few people are sent in, Cai Dao really doesn't break at all.
Actually, Cai Dao really didn't guess wrong, Zhao Maid really sneaked out of the palace when he came this time. However, this time it was not anyone who entered the palace, but he decided to leave the palace without authorization.
