The entire Dafu Hall fell to the ground with Yang Wu's words, as if the originally silent air was suddenly frozen by the gradually cold air outside, and everyone was stunned like statues.

The cup in Li Zhi's hand fell to the carpet under his feet and slowly rolled away.

Smallpox, a terminal disease that is talked about in this era, has no effective cure, and it is a symptom that makes people get goosebumps and numb scalps.

In this era, the appearance of smallpox in patients often indicates a natural disaster**, or that the patient has done something harmful, and even if it spreads widely, the speech often blames the illness on the imperial court or the Son of Heaven.

Smallpox, like a flood beast, is definitely a disaster that cannot be ignored among the people that causes panic among the people and plunges the imperial court into turmoil.

If it is not handled well, if it spreads to more people, and if it is guided by people with different intentions, it is very likely that there will be a riot among the people.

At this time, the imperial court would fall into turmoil, and as effective cures could not be implemented, the Son of Heaven would pray to the heavens, or even issue an edict to stabilize the people's minds, and it was possible to be forced to meditate.

Although it is difficult for the affairs of the Zen throne or the turmoil of the court to occur in this period of peace and prosperity, it is inevitable that there will be local small riots or the appearance of criticism of the royal family.

Li Hong also had a numb scalp, and among the people present, I am afraid that there is no deeper understanding of smallpox than him.

The life experience of the ninth and tenth generations, basically seven or eight generations, has encountered a major or small terminal illness of the common people infected with smallpox.

Li Hong could even feel that after Wu Mei finished pinching her leg, the hand that had not had time to withdraw was trembling uncontrollably at the moment.

Lantian County is too close to Chang'an, and it seems to make people feel that smallpox will rush into Chang'an City tomorrow.

If someone in Chang'an City is infected, then the next situation will be even more difficult to manage.

"Call them in and in, and speak." Li Zhi's voice trembled a little, and he couldn't help but glance at Wu Mei, who was strong and calm.

Everyone looked at Li Zhi to discuss political affairs with the courtiers, and was about to get up and prepare to leave, but they didn't want to just move, and before they could speak, they heard Wu Mei's voice sound: "It's okay, everyone is a royal family, and now the people are suffering and are infected with smallpox, which is the responsibility of our royal family." You might as well listen to it first, in case you can think of any magic recipe, or if there is something you know well. ”

Wu Mei's faint words made everyone present unable to say goodbye, let alone say anything alone.

In this way, Wu Mei easily tied the royal family and the royal family together, even if there was a worst result, even if it was a civil riot, or a human anger, at least no one from the royal family would jump out and stab their family from behind.

Li Zhi nodded approvingly, the undercurrent surging above the court, the open and secret battles between the royal family and clansmen, whether light or heavy, have never stopped.

Although it is said that his throne is stable now, it definitely does not mean that when there is a major event that is not conducive to his rule, these people will not jump out and prepare to usurp the throne.

Hurried footsteps sounded outside, and Yang Wu led Pei Yan, Zhang Wenjun, Zong Chuke, and Jing Hui to appear in the main hall together.

The original central case was removed a few days ago, and it was replaced by four people standing there and saluting everyone.

Li Zhi glanced at Wu Mei again, and took advantage of the time he was waiting just now to calm down and ask in a deep voice, "What are the details of the matter now?" ”

This matter is the duty of Zong Chuke, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, so it is also up to him to explain it to His Majesty, and after saluting, he said: "Your Majesty, there are about 70 people in Lantian County who have been infected in some way or worse, and as many as 17 people have been killed or injured, most of whom are old people and young children. Now the doctors in Chang'an City have been mobilized by me, but they are ....... ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Li Zhi's hands were trembling, in fact, there was no need for Zong Chuke to say that he knew that this was a terminal illness, the doctor of Chang'an City, I am afraid that not many people are willing to go to Lantian County to treat smallpox.

"But now with little success, the minister has tried his best to control the spread of the epidemic in Lantian, but he still can't stop the spread of rumors, this matter has now been known to the doctors in Chang'an City, but not many people are willing to go, even if the minister spends a lot of money, it is still impossible to recruit too many people." Zong Chuke frowned, he was promoted from the position of county magistrate in Lantian County.

"Where is the Lantian County Order?" Li Zhi asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Your Majesty, his youngest son was also infected, and the minister did not let him enter Chang'an just in case." Zong Chuke replied.

"What can be done now?" Li Zhi's voice trembled a little, what countermeasures could he have in the face of this kind of terminal illness that was angry and resentful?

Although he was asking Zong Chuke, he knew very well in his heart that with such a terminal illness, what difference did it make if there was a countermeasure or not? Damn people still have to die, and contagion has to be contagious.

Li Hong sat next to Wu Mei, looked at the queen mother's face was pale, her expression was gloomy, and she reached out and pinched Wu Mei's hand, giving her a relieved comfort.

Wu Mei glanced back at Li Hong, held his hand with her backhand, and then returned with a bitter smile.

Just as they continued to play some details to Li Zhiyu, Li Hong quietly summoned the palace maid next to him, asked for the pen and paper in his hand, and wrote and drew on the paper while listening to their questions.

Wu Mei glanced at Li Hong's writing and painting from time to time, but because the pen in Li Hong's hand was not a brush, but the kind of simple and clear portrait he usually painted, he called it a pencil pen.

In addition, on a piece of snow-white rice paper, Li Hong's scribbled handwriting and disorderly arrangement were displayed, so Wu Mei looked at it twice, and she didn't know what Li Hong had scribbled.

Several people came over to play together, led by Zhongshu Province and Shang Shufu, plus Jingzhao Mansion, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the people, and the household department that governs the people, which is enough to show the seriousness of the epidemic.

And now, the four of them are playing together, hoping to get His Majesty's permission to mobilize the imperial doctors from the Taichang Temple and go to Lantian County.

Li Zhi was a little unsure of his idea, and couldn't help but look at Wu Mei again to see if she had any good suggestions.

After all, everyone knows that even if the doctors of the Tai Yi Department are all on board, they will definitely not be able to cure the incurable disease.

The emperor and queen glanced at each other, and the tacit understanding between the husband and wife for many years was still there, and they both saw deep helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Is there any government intervention in Lantian County now? How are the more than 70 patients housed? Can the seventeen who died be settled now? How is it placed? What are you doing so far? Li Hong's voice suddenly sounded calmly and indifferently in the hall.

Li Hong's voice not only broke the dull atmosphere of the Great Blessing Palace, but also made Li Zhi and Wu Mei, who were originally nervous, involuntarily relieved for no reason.

This was the first time that Wu Mei felt that Li Hong's voice didn't sound so bad, but seemed to be a bit of a natural sound.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, now the Lantian County Commander and the County Cheng appease the people, and the patients are now at home, and there is no change. The deceased were also set up in mourning halls at home by their respective families, and now doctors from Jingzhao Mansion have gone to comfort them and provide some medicine to the people. Zong Chuke saw Li Hong speak, glanced at Li Zhi, and saw that there was no objection, so he hurriedly replied.

From the time Li Hong spoke to Zong Chuke's reply, he always held the rice paper on the desk, which was like a ghost in Wu Mei's eyes.

"Immediately block the exits of all major roads in Lantian County, anyone is only allowed to enter and not leave, remember, it's anyone! All the patients immediately gathered and found a suitable place in Lantian County to set up tents, but they should be ventilated and strictly cared for. The deceased were likewise immediately gathered and had to be enforced, whether the family wanted it or not. The rest of the people, as long as they are in the boundary of Lantian and divided according to their respective regions, Zhuang Guizhuang, villages and villages, and county squares belong to county squares, and all the people in Lantian are managed separately according to their age, and the elderly, weak, women and children, and young and strong people need to be gathered together, and no one can be missed. Jinghui listened to the order, immediately notified the household department, mobilized all the household registration personnel who could be mobilized, and began to investigate the people who had been to Lantian County within half a month and had contact with the patients in Lantian County, together with the criminal department, all of them were found and brought back to Lantian County. ”

After Li Hong finished speaking in one breath, he ignored the stunned and staring expressions of everyone in the hall. Even Wu Mei and Li Zhi were shocked and speechless by the strong confidence and composure that Li Hong exuded at this moment.

And Li Hong kept his head down all the time, continuing to look at his "ghost drawing talisman", the pencil in his hand was spinning at his fingertips, and he was in a circle of phantoms.

"Summer solstice, immediately expedited notice of hard work, the high-concentration alcohol in Taiyi City, as many episodes as possible, needs to be sent to Lantian County in the shortest possible time. Also, the notification was impossible, and he ordered the medical battalion led by the prince to immediately bring all the equipment, and immediately enter Lantian County with the left guard to maintain law and order and pacify the people. Remember, when I did not arrive at the scene, everyone had to obey the command of the county order of Lantian County, but I must remember that without my warrant, no one can leave Lantian County, and no one will be killed. ”

At this time, Li Hongcai began to raise his head, looking at everyone looking at him in surprise, and involuntarily touched his cheeks blankly, and asked, "What's wrong?" I didn't do anything bad. ”

Hearing Li Hong's words, Wu Mei's hand began to itch reflexively again, I don't know why, but I just wanted to beat him.

But thinking about the arrangements just now, the division of labor is clear, reasonable, resolute, and organized, and it is clear that people have done nothing wrong. If you leave halfway through, press CTRL+D to save the current page to your favorites so you can watch it later!
