Spring is a beautiful season, the city is full of flowers, every family takes advantage of the fine weather to clean the house, wash the cotton clothes that the family has changed, and dry them in the warm sun. The urchins had a new pleasure, and they went out together to pick elm money, locust flowers, willow flutes, and kites. When I was tired of playing, I ran to the well, took advantage of the opportunity of the adults to draw water, drank a scoop of cool well water, and then ran and played all over the street.

Spring is also a busy season, and the blacksmith shops in the capital are the most prosperous. Because the farmers are tinkering and making their tools at this time, in the spring all the blacksmith shops are open early in the morning and are busy until the sun sets.

A beggar, unclothed and filthy, staggered to a blacksmith shop and stretched out his hand to beg the boss. The boss is in a good mood because business is good these days. He grabbed a few copper coins and handed them to the beggar with a few cakes. The beggar thanked him again and again, and was about to turn away when he took the money and the bread and was about to turn away, but he fell down in front of the blacksmith's shop with a pop. The blacksmith shop owner and his apprentices hurriedly ran out to see what was going on, only to see the beggar spitting yellow water in his mouth, and there was blood in his eyes, nose and mouth. The blacksmith boss was so frightened that he hurriedly beckoned the Wuhou and the officials who were patrolling the street to come over.

Seeing this situation, the official hurriedly asked the boss, "What did you give him food?" ”

"Master Official, God testifies, I just gave this flower a few copper coins and a few cakes, and the cakes are still in his hands, you see that he fell there without eating a bite. You have to testify to me, if this flower has three long and two short, it has nothing to do with me, I'm kind. ”

The servant looked closely, and it was indeed the same as the blacksmith boss said, and the beggar had not eaten a single bite.

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that you are hungry like this? The boss brought me a bowl of water. ”

The blacksmith shop owner hurriedly brought a bowl of water and handed it to the servant, who opened the beggar's mouth and poured it into him, but the beggar squirted out the water with a pop. This splash covered the officer's face all over his body, and even the people around him who were watching the excitement were also splashed a little.

"Get out of the way. Don't go near him. A voice came.

Everyone looked back and saw a young man in brocade riding on a horse covered in red coals and shouting loudly. The crowd left the beggar with a sigh. The young man in brocade opened his wine bag, soaked a piece of cloth with spirits, covered his mouth and nose, and then dismounted and approached the beggar. At this time, the beggar kept twitching, and his face was red as if it had been stained with rouge. He grabbed his neck with both hands, opened his mouth and panted hard. But the movements were getting slower and slower, and before the boy could get to the beggar, the beggar had stopped breathing. The young man looked at the beggar's round eyes, the pupils had dilated, and the yellow water was still flowing out of the wide open mouth, and he immediately stopped approaching.

"Immediately isolate all those who come into contact with and are close to this beggar, and do not come into contact with anyone. Immediately invite Lang Zhong to come, and patrol the streets, Wuhou quickly transported the beggar's body out of the city to be cremated, without delay. The street was paved with quicklime, and the district officials were notified to close the entire neighborhood and no one was allowed to go out. Immediately notify each household to fumigate the house with vinegar. From now on, raw water is not allowed. Drinking water must be boiled before drinking. Fengtian County and Jingzhao Prefecture were notified to quickly and thoroughly investigate the beggars in various parts of the capital, and those who were found to have red faces, coughing, wheezing, and vomiting were immediately arrested and sent to centralized custody outside the city. Lang Zhong of various medical centers in the capital was requisitioned to report to Jingzhao Mansion and waited for dispatch. The district officials assisted the government to inspect each household, and those who found red faces, coughing, wheezing and vomiting immediately reported it, and at the same time, the whole family was quarantined and no one was allowed to go out. ”

The young man quickly gave a series of orders, and at the same time, he raised a gold medal in his hand. When Wuhou saw that it was the token of the East Palace, he immediately bowed down and saluted. They acted according to the boy's orders. The boy turned and got on his horse and shouted, "Don't stop here." The whole team turned around and returned to the East Palace. Fast! ”

The group immediately turned to leave quickly. Prince Long Xingrong lifted the curtain and asked, "What's the matter with the eldest brother?" ”

"If the forecast is not bad, there will be a plague in the capital, and we will quickly return to the palace to report to Your Majesty."

"Okay, go, go, go."

The prince's car took a detour back to the palace, and there was chaos in this neighborhood. Adults make children cry, and in the blink of an eye, the street becomes deserted. Only the Wuhou and the officials who patrolled the street were left to deal with the aftermath, and the officials also shouted along the street with gongs.

"Neighbors, hurry home. Take care of your children. Hurry up and fumigate the house with vinegar. From now on, it is forbidden to drink raw water. If a person with fever, cough and vomiting is found, he will immediately report it, and if anyone dares to conceal it, he will be severely punished. ”

Bang bang bang. The sound of a hurried gong resounded throughout the neighborhood, and the blacksmith shop owner looked up and wailed, "What's the matter?" It's just been two days since the shutdown, why did such a big thing happen. Oh, my God. I didn't let people live. ”

The prince's car drove straight to the front of Taihe Palace, and Long Xingrong jumped out of the carriage and ran straight to the side hall of Taihe Palace. Niu Tianci turned to Wang Meng and said, "Mengzi, you go home immediately and tell Wo Groove, and ask him to inform Jizhou and Youzhou to prepare for the plague and reserve more food and materials." Remember to give your jade card to the groove, go quickly. ”

"Okay, big brother, don't worry."

After Niu Tianci finished speaking, he chased Long Xingrong to the side hall, and when Emperor Suzheng allowed him to enter the hall, Niu Tianci walked into the hall quickly and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, when the minister and the prince returned to the palace, they found a beggar lying on the street with a vicious disease. In the opinion of the minister, the beggar's illness could be determined to be caused by the plague. I ask Your Majesty to immediately convene the heads of all ministries to discuss precautionary measures. In addition, please ask Your Majesty to order the Imperial Doctor Summer to intervene and cooperate with Jingzhao Mansion to thoroughly investigate Fengtian City. ”

"It's just a beggar lying on the street, so it won't alarm the whole capital, right? If it is only a few cases, it will inevitably seem to be a big deal. The capital is the place where the capital of the country is located, and if it causes a commotion, the world will be shocked, and this impact is very great. ”

"Your Majesty, all plagues begin with individual cases. It is precisely because of the lack of discovery and attention that the catastrophe has been caused. Your Majesty is requested to inform the local state governments in a timely manner to take precautions as soon as possible, and to know that prevention is more important than disaster relief. As long as you can prevent disasters from happening, you can't be too careful. ”

"Father, the son agrees with Brother Tianci's suggestion, and asks my father to make arrangements as soon as possible."

"Well, you stand down first. Rong Zhen thought about it carefully. ”

"Father! What are you thinking? Long Xingrong asked anxiously.

"Don't be anxious, the prince will deal with this matter, go down." Emperor Su Zheng was a little annoyed.

Niu Tianci looked at Emperor Su Zheng, who seemed indecisive at the moment, and was very anxious. But what's the use of being in a hurry? He's just a reader. is not the chief official of the three provinces and six ministries, and what people talk about lightly is his current situation. Niu Tianci looked at Emperor Su Zheng's appearance, and finally understood why Li Ke and his gang were able to control the dynasty. This is the weakness of Emperor Su Zheng's character, he can't see things keenly and grasp the key points, and he won't extend his thinking. Consider the problem and look ahead and backward, and cannot deal with it decisively. To put it bluntly, I don't have an idea when there is a big event. It's all up to Li Ke and his gang to plan and strategize.

Niu Tianci grabbed Long Xingrong, who still wanted to argue, and signaled him to stop talking, and the two brothers retreated back to the East Palace.

"Big brother, that's it. If this is really as you said, the consequences are too serious, can't my father think of this? Long Xingrong asked angrily.

"Your Majesty has your Majesty's considerations."

Niu Tianci replied casually, he was thinking about how to ensure that Jizhou and Youzhou were not affected as much as possible. If possible, it would be best for the Northwest states to take precautions as soon as possible. Jizhou Youzhou doesn't have to worry now, there shouldn't be much of a problem with Yuan'er, Xiaoxian and Ximen Qingzai. Moreover, they will definitely notify Chu, Huyanbao and Yue Zhongqi, so that most of the state capitals in the east and west of Dayan can take precautions in advance.

Pingrong grassland don't worry. The Northern Legion had a way of protecting against the plague. And they are strictly in accordance with the Great Yan Army, there should be no possibility of being infected, just warn in advance. The key is to let them stock up on food and grass materials in case the Far Eastern barbarians take this opportunity to make trouble. But how to warn must be carefully figured out, and his present must not be exposed, because there are many people secretly watching him, and his words and deeds are all seen by them, and they must not be caught by them at this time.

Niu Tianci looked up and saw Long Xingrong walking around the room. Suddenly, I thought about it.

"Your Highness, I have to use the prince's edict for today's plan. His Royal Highness may issue the Crown Prince's edict to all localities. Remind all localities to take precautions as soon as possible. ”

"Big brother, the edict of the crown prince is only issued when the prince is in charge of the country and his father is unable to govern. But now that these are neither of these, how do you tell me to issue the prince's edict? ”

"Xingrong, Emperor Shengzuren once said: The people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light. In times of crisis. You're still worried so much. You must know that even if you are reprimanded by His Majesty for this, you will be impeached by hundreds of officials. But if you can save thousands of Li people from fire and water, you will win the hearts of the people of the world. Compared with the hearts of the people in the world, what is it to be wronged. ”

Long Xingrong stopped and thought for a moment, his hands clenched into fists. It was as if I had made up my mind.

"Big brother, you're right. Big brother, are you sure this must be a plague, not an isolated case? ”

"I'm sure, and I can tell you for sure, that this is a great plague. If you don't get it right, it will shake the foundation of the country. ”

Of course, Niu Tianci can be sure that he has encountered such a situation in his previous life. However, at that time, because of the developed medical conditions and the availability of various means, it was possible to prevent it in place and detect it in time. Nowadays, with the level of Dayan's era, it is no longer timely to start prevention and warning.

Even if Emperor Suzheng issued an order now, the three provinces and six ministries were surveyed and issued to various places, and some state capitals have become epidemic areas. The main reason why the DPRK and the central ministries did not receive the information was because of the inconvenient transportation in various places and the failure of the local government to find out in time.

"Okay, I will issue the edict of the crown prince to warn the local government to guard against the plague. Big brother, what else do you need to be reminded? ”

"It is necessary for all localities to prepare sufficient food, and for all localities to be prepared to assist the localities, and if necessary, to impose heavy laws. It is also necessary to be prepared to deal with the displaced people, and it is better for the local government to control the people within their own jurisdiction. If there are displaced people, they should be immediately resettled and fixed within the local area. They must not be allowed to roam around in order to effectively control the spread of the plague. ”

"Okay, according to the big brother's opinion."

Niu Tianci wrote the prince's edict and handed it to the subordinate officials of the East Palace for investigation, and then stamped it with the prince's seal. Donggong Liu led the cavalry out in all directions, they carried letterheads, put red feathers on their heads, and roared out of the four gates of Fengtian City with the prince token in their hands. Before leaving, these Hongling envoys were told that this prince's edict was related to the life and death of the people of Dayan, and even if they were exhausted to death, they would have to pass the prince's edict to various government offices as quickly as possible. These Red Feathers hurriedly used their lifeless horses to gallop on the official road in Fengtian City, but before they could run out of the Jingzhao Land, they passed by the oncoming Red Feather Hurriers. If you stand in the air, you can clearly see that these rushing Hongling envoys are rushing to the capital city from all directions of Dayan.

The roar of Emperor Su Zheng in the side hall of Taihe Palace came far away, and he held a long knife with a sheath in his hand, and he pulled it towards Long Xingrong, who was kneeling on the ground, without a head. Niu Tianci hugged Long Xingrong and blocked the whipping with his back. Niu Tianci gritted his teeth and insisted, he had miraculous skills to protect his body, but he didn't worry about injuries to his internal organs. It's just that at this moment, he can't fully exert his divine skills. If it was completely unleashed, only the Divine Dragon Jue Triple could shatter that long knife and even the sheath in one fell swoop, and even Emperor Su Zheng's arm would be broken. Therefore, Niu Tianci can only hold on, and his internal organs and skeletal muscles are fine, but the pain is not something that ordinary people can bear. It was a ten-pound long knife, and it was no different from an iron rod when drawn on the body.

Long Xingrong looked at Niu Tianci, whose face was pale and sweating like rain, and cried bitterly.

"Father, all the mistakes are the fault of the sons, please don't punish Niu Tianci. Father! ~~~~~”

"Rebel, I'm not confused, I'm not old and dizzy. You, you, are you going to be angry? ”

"Your Majesty is angry, this matter is all caused by God. His Royal Highness is not guilty, and God wishes that one person will bear it. ”

"Niu Tianci, you are bold and reckless, bewitching the prince, and your sin is unforgivable. Someone came, pushed Niu Tianci out of the noon gate and beheaded him. ”

"No~~~~! The father and the emperor are guilty of the crime, and the sons are willing to be punished by the father. Ask the father to take back the order, the son, the son is willing to receive the punishment on behalf of Niu Tianci. ”

Emperor Su Zheng roared loudly, almost crazy. The warriors in front of the hall looked at each other, so they had to bite the bullet, grab Niu Tianci's arms and drag them out. Of course, they didn't really exert themselves, they hoped that Emperor Su Zheng would be able to spare Niu Tianci after he finished venting.

"What are you waiting for! You can't resist the decree. Emperor Suzheng was even more angry.

The two warriors had to drag Niu Tianci out, and Long Xingrong hugged Niu Tianci's legs and dragged them back, while crying and begging Emperor Suzheng.

"If you want to kill, kill me and let my eldest brother go."

The sound of thumping footsteps came in, and the king rushed into the side hall, throwing the two warriors out of the hall one by one. Wang Meng knelt on the ground with Niu Tianci in his arms, his eyes staring directly at Emperor Suzheng.

"Your Majesty, when the last general and Niu Tianci married Jin Lan, he said that he did not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month and month of the same year. Today, Your Majesty wants to kill my brother, and Wang Meng also asks Your Majesty to fulfill my brother's righteousness and ask Your Majesty to give him death. ”

"I'm angry, I'm angry, you can't rebel if you want to. Someone came, cut down Niu Tianci and Wang Meng, and cut them all for me ~~~~~~. ”

"Your Majesty~~~, you can't kill it, why can't you."

Gao Ping suddenly knelt on the ground and blocked in front of Niu Tianci and Wang Meng.

"Why can't you kill it? Do you want to rebel too, I'll kill you dog minion? ”

The long knife smashed on Gao Ping's body with a roar, Gao Ping kept kowtowing, and just said: "Can't kill, can't kill." ”

I don't know whether he is saying that Niu Tianci can't be killed, or whether he is saying that Wang Meng can't be killed. (To be continued.) )
