In Chang'an City, in the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair with a solemn face.

According to a secret report from Chang'an, as of today, nearly 130 people have been infected with smallpox in Gyeonggi Province, including as many as 37 dead.

Although the prefecture and county have strictly controlled it, the epidemic is fierce and there are signs of a large-scale spread.

When Zhongshu Province received the report that night, the officials on duty hurriedly went to inform the lords of the court, and delivered the report to the table in the Liangyi Hall without stopping.

Since the smallpox spread a few days ago, people in the entire Chang'an City have begun to panic, and some people even hoarded a large amount of vegetables, rice and noodles on the day the news spread, and since then they have directly closed the door and no longer go out.

This can make Li Shimin's heart very angry, not only was the Miaoyin Workshop burned to ashes overnight, but it is also said that several ministers above the fifth rank in the court were implicated, in short, the government and the opposition were greatly shaken.

Pulled up from his sleep by Liu Sanshui, Li Shimin couldn't calm down a little, and it didn't take half a pillar of incense to take half a pillar of incense, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, Li Jing and other civil and military ministers, and even Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang were all summoned into the Taiji Hall to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, Chang'an County has basically controlled the main place where the epidemic occurs, but there are still occasional suspected patients, which shows that the current epidemic in Chang'an City is still worrying."

Fang Xuanling frowned and was the first to stand up.

At this time, Sun Simiao has a lot to say, after all, his title of medicine king is not a joke:

"Your Majesty, acne has a certain latent period, and it is not obvious in the early stage, it is difficult to detect, and it is not surprising that there are omissions...... But over time, the condition will worsen. I'm afraid there will be new patients at that time, you see, is it necessary to lock down Miyagi to prevent the epidemic from spreading to other states and counties? ”

"Chang'an, as the capital of my Tang Dynasty, how can it be closed?" The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to disagree.

"If the epidemic spreads to other states, counties, and counties, will your eldest grandson be able to afford this responsibility?"

Although Sun Simiao said that his medical skills were excellent. But it's not that he is an official in the court, so it doesn't matter if he offends the eldest grandson Wuji, so this is unceremonious.

"If you only care about the epidemic, causing business travelers or nobles from other countries to come to my Datang and can't return home, it's okay to say that the time is short, but if it is a long time, there will definitely be chaos, and if there are foreign countries uniting with each other to attack my Datang, wars will break out. Can you afford it again? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is above the court, and his mouth is far more powerful than that of an old Taoist priest who practices medicine and cultivation.

"You ......" Sun Simiao was a little speechless for a while.

Cheng Yanjin didn't care about that, and said nonchalantly: "Right now, my Tang Dynasty is extremely strong, but it's just some nobles from small fanbangs, even if their monarch comes in person?" Beat them to the bottom of their heads! ”

"Yes, it's just some small countries, dare to shout, destroy them!"

"Makes sense. Kill them! ”

Yes, Cheng Biting Jin's words can be regarded as setting off the belligerent mood of those war maniacs. One by one, they roared as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"That's a mistake!"

"My Datang is a country of etiquette, how can I let the people of Datang fall into war because of this incident!"

Above the court, the princes and ministers argued endlessly, and the entire Taiji Hall was like a vegetable market, extremely noisy.

"Alright. All right! ”

Li Shimin had already become irritable because of his son's smallpox infection, and now he saw that the courtiers were blushing and their necks were thick because of this incident, and their roars echoed in their ears, and there was a wave of anger rising in his heart.

"I said okay, stop arguing!"

Li Shimin was furious. He directly pulled out a horizontal knife and threw it towards the bottom of the main hall.

"Choke!"

There was a crisp sound, and the sharp horizontal knife plunged straight into the gleaming marble floor.

In the Taiji Hall, there was a deathly silence all of a sudden, and it was almost audible that a needle had dropped.

"Your Majesty is over, please calm your anger!"

After a while, regardless of whether the ministers were all military generals, they all bowed to Li Yuanba and pleaded guilty in unison.

"Hmph, is this hall really a place to sell vegetables in the West Market?" Li Shimin had a gloomy face, looked at the ministers and continued: "I asked you to discuss countermeasures, but I didn't let you fight above this court!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry!" Du Ruhui stood up and said, "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to strengthen the treatment of patients and prevent and control the epidemic." As for the surrounding state roads and counties, it is necessary to strengthen prevention and control. ”

After all, now that winter is beginning and the weather is getting colder, the epidemic will not spread as quickly as in summer and autumn, and it may not be so bad, so Du Ruhui's method is quite reasonable.

"What Du Xiang said is reasonable, it's better to think about the benefits of everything!" The eldest grandson Wuji also spat out, now is not the time to fight for these.

Just when Li Shimin sighed and wanted to give the order that he could only do this, a little eunuch hurriedly ran into the main hall, bowed his head and saluted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty, Majesty, speak again after you have calmed down!" Li Shimin snorted and said.

"......Huh" gasped twice, and the little eunuch said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wu, His Royal Highness King Shu and His Royal Highness King Wu have returned to Chang'an, and now they have entered the palace!" ”

"Yuanba, they're back? Come back so fast! Li Shimin suddenly stood up from the dragon chair and said, "Quick, drive Huayang Palace!" ”

Because Huayang Palace is relatively close to the Liangyi Hall and the Lizheng Palace, and the scenery in Huayang Palace is excellent, this Huayang Palace was arranged for Li Shimin's sister-in-law, and Li Shimin's favorite youngest son, Li Zhi.

When Li Zhi was infected with smallpox and began to have symptoms of smallpox, Li Shimin reluctantly banned Huayang Palace, allowing him to enter but not to leave.

Right now, Li Yuanba and the others are standing outside Huayang Palace, because the black-armored forbidden soldiers who are responsible for guarding the palace will not let Li Yuanba enter Huayang Palace if they say anything.

"You bastards hurry up and get out of the way of this king, don't you know the identity of this king, aren't you afraid that this king will cut off your heads?"

Li Su looked at the black-armored forbidden soldiers who were blocking their way with anger on his face, and shouted and cursed.

A bitter look appeared on the face of the black-armored forbidden army guarding the guard, and said: "Please forgive Your Highness for the small difficulty, Your Majesty has given the little one a death order, if there is no warrant from Your Majesty, no one is allowed to enter Huayang Palace!" ”

"You, you ......," Li Su was furious, "let this king in, this king assures you that your father will never hold you responsible, otherwise, this king will kill you now!" (To be continued.) )
