On the same day, Li Shimin found Du Ruhui and discussed it in detail. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early the next morning, at the court meeting, Li Shimin was listless, with a cautious and uneasy face, and worriedly told the ministers about the situation in Suzhou that he had just obtained. But he wasn't talking about good news, but something that had been passed on to him months earlier.

The plague in Suzhou is prevalent, and it is extremely serious, and 150,000 people have been infected.

As soon as the news spread, the entire court was on fire, as if a bomb had been detonated, especially those ministers who thought they were right and were full of superstition were even more complacent, feeling that their ideas were correct, and they once again asked Li Shimin to plead guilty, saying that the power of heaven could not be touched and the war could not be started.

Li Shimin's heart blossomed, and at this time they became more and more energetic, and after Duhe completely solved the epidemic in Suzhou, it was time for them to slap themselves. He pretended to be angry: "What kind of heavenly punishment, I don't believe in this, and I don't want to listen to this, what I want is an idea and a method, not your set." ”

The ministers didn't care about this, there were many people who were pedantic and superstitious in ancient times, but they just said: "Tianwei can't fight against manpower, and the best way is to stop the thunder fire in the sky." ”

Face the noisy ministers!

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are closing their eyes and pretending to sleep.

Wei Zheng also tilted his head and counted the number of dragons on the mural on the left.

There are also some smart people such as Chu Suiliang, Cen Wenwen and others who noticed that something was wrong and sensibly watched the fire from the sidelines.

There are only some counselors who can't figure out their intentions and can't enter the real core layer are talking, and most of them are counselors from families.

In fact, when they quarreled, the epidemic in Suzhou was almost solved.

They have enough medicinal materials, enough doctors, enough manpower, and under the leadership of Du He, they can be regarded as united, and the people who have contracted the epidemic have gradually recovered.

Similar to Li Yifeng, Cao Yi, Han Fenghan, and Zhou Lingling, who are less seriously ill, have recovered. Of the 150,000 people, more than 100,000 have been confirmed to have recovered.

Duhe took the opportunity to encourage the masses to fill in all the wells and dig them again to ensure that the whole city had no worries about water.

Jiangnan is rich in water resources, and it is extremely easy to dig wells to get water, but under the mobilization of all the people, in just ten days, there are 500 more wells in Suzhou City, so as to solve the water problem of the people in the whole city.

In these 10 days, 10,000 more people recovered through meticulous treatment.

This man-made catastrophe took more than four months, and was finally completely extinguished with the support of Du Hosun Simiao, a group of doctors and ordinary people, according to the final statistics, more than 151,300 patients were infected with the disease, but no more than 400 people died due to the epidemic!

It was the largest plague in history, and at the same time the least costly.

After dealing with the last patient, Du He and his wife were not at ease, and after ten days of examination, after confirming that they were fine, the gate of Suzhou, which had been closed for more than four months, was officially opened.

Although Du He has used all means to appease the people, as time goes by, the uneasiness in the hearts of the people in Jiangnan has become more and more prevalent.

It is said that it is a small epidemic, but there has been no news for four months, how can this convince the public?

Just at this time when it is on the verge of the limit and cannot be appeased.

Suzhou was officially opened, and all the people who rushed to the market returned to their homes.

The severity of the epidemic also truthfully reached the ears of the people, and all the people who received the news heard it with chills down their spines. They didn't feel deceived, they just had respect for Duhe, and for the Tang soldiers who protected Suzhou from the spread of the epidemic at this moment of crisis.

Under the legend of everyone, Duhe has been like a Buddha in the south of the Yangtze River, and has been respected by thousands of people, and even burns incense and worships in the morning and evening.

On the night of the opening of Suzhou City, Du He feasted on the square outside the mansion for the first batch of people who were not infected, most of them were the wife of the head of the big family, the lady of the house, the maidservants of the house, and all the doctors.

There was no humility in this banquet, it was a feast of celebration.

Du He said loudly to the more than 1,000 people in the courtyard: "It is said that I Du He contributed to this victory, but it is not. I think there's a serious mistake in that. The scale of this epidemic is unprecedented. Being able to overcome it is not the credit of one or two people, and the strength of one or two people is completely insignificant in the face of such a disaster. It's a credit to all of us to have achieved such a big victory, and the significance of your existence counts! Although the method I used is not so glamorous, I want to say thank you here! Thank you for your efforts, without your efforts, there would never be today's victory! ”

There was a moment of silence in the square.

One of the people in the crowd said loudly: "My lord's words are serious, if it weren't for my adult, I'm afraid I would always be a useless loser, it was the adult who made me understand that being able to read and compose poetry does not mean that I have the ability and ability." At the beginning, I really couldn't understand the intentions of adults, I came from a good background, I had never had the experience of taking care of people, and I complained in my heart. But now I see that every life can be freed from the epidemic and recovered. It was a subtle feeling, something I had never felt before, and I was able to appreciate what it was like to help others. ”

Gu Zhiming had a great prejudice against Du He disguised as Du Xiang because Xu Hui had a lot of prejudices against Du He, and he didn't have a good impression of Du He.

Since he didn't know anything, he was assigned the task of chopping wood, which didn't require any skills, but the pain of letting a second ancestor who had never done heavy work cut wood can be imagined.

They are already understaffed, so they have no affection to talk about, and if they can't finish their work, they won't have anything to eat, so they are forced to do it.

In just a few days, Gu Zhiming's hands grinded out blood blisters, and in order to be able to eat a bite of coarse food, he gritted his teeth and persevered. After this training, he was unexpectedly enlightened, felt that life was not easy, and his thoughts and thoughts had a new transformation.

In fact, not only him, but most of the rich children in Suzhou City are also spoiled by their elders, their lives have no setbacks, nor have they been tempered by anything, these months of independent life, for them, is really a difficult and rare opportunity, many people have a new feeling.

Therefore, as soon as Gu Zhiming opened his mouth, the echo sounded endlessly.

Du He never imagined that there would be such an effect, and he smiled unexpectedly. He didn't know that because of this experience, Gu Zhiming and some of the second ancestors in the city who had experienced the hard work of the people calmed down and studied hard, and finally became useful talents in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, that's all for later.

Du He went south a year ago, and now it is the beginning of October of the next year, because of Li Jiancheng's remnants and epidemics, Du He has been in Jiangnan for nearly a year, and the wanderer's heart has long been like an arrow.

That night, he packed up and decided to go north.

Although Zhou Zhenwei and Li Yifeng have made great contributions to the elimination of the epidemic, their identity has always been rebellious.

Du He still put them under house arrest in accordance with the law and planned to take them to Chang'an. Although he has the heart to intercede for them, he must also do official business and take him to Chang'an.

Early the next morning, Du He was practicing his sword in the courtyard, and suddenly heard the chaotic noise outside the palace, and wondered: "What happened again?" He withdrew his sword and was about to see what was going on.

Wang Guanghong, the assassin of Suzhou, came to him and said with a wry smile: "My lord, I don't know who leaked your whereabouts, but now there are nearly 10,000 people gathered outside the palace, and they all hope to see you off." ”

Du He was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly walked out of the mansion, only to see that there were many dense people outside the mansion, where were more than 10,000 people, at least more than 30,000 people, they blocked the eight streets leading to the mansion tightly, and the number of people was still surging, and the people in the city kept coming.

When the people saw Duhe, they shouted loudly one by one and shouted in thanks.

Some even knelt down.

The grace of life is like reconstruction!

If it weren't for Du He, in the face of such an epidemic, I believe that not many people would have the courage to bear it, and their fate would only be death.

Now Duhe is like Guanyin Bodhisattva in Buddhism, saving them from fire and water, giving them life, giving them the will to live, and in times of difficulty, even Guanyin Bodhisattva can't give them these. The people are the most simple, and their feelings are also the most real.

For Duhe, who is as gracious as a mountain, they revealed their most sincere feelings.

Du He looked at the people gathering more and more in front of him, and suddenly felt that his hardships in the past few months had not been in vain.

Su Dingfang also heard the news and came to Du He's side, and when he saw this scene, he sighed with emotion: "For what the generals want in their lives, to protect their families and the country, isn't it for this situation and for the smiles on these people's faces?" ”

Du He also sighed: "Brother Su is right. Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer. When we join the army, what we do is precisely for the people to be able to show a smile on their faces that enjoy peace. For the smile on their faces, so, we need to fight! Only our constant fighting can exchange them for a peaceful life! ”

Su Dingfang nodded solemnly and said, "For the sake of our smile, brother, I will fight without regrets until the horse leather shroud ......"

In the face of this group of enthusiastic people, no matter how much Du He persuaded them, he couldn't stop them, and in the end he could only let them do their own thing.

In the time when he was preparing a few pillars of incense, more than 100,000 people gathered in Suzhou City to send them had already been delivered, and almost the whole city was mobilized.

The small city could not gather, so they lined up and stood guard on the official road to the north.

Tens of thousands of people sent each other off, and the procession was placed from Suzhou to Wuxi. An official road, more than 20 miles, was full of people who were sending off.
