Chapter 277—Smallpox (5)
The seven years of Zhenguan Chang'an City was spent in a panic, especially Yong'an Fang, which was even more panicked.
This anyone can see that the Yang family in Yong'an Fang seems to have an accident, copying the house, some are unlikely, the copying family will not use soldiers to surround it for so long, this encirclement has nearly half a month, it is definitely not a copy, and the copying family as a person in Chang'an City has not seen it, it is generally over in one day, and the longest is not more than two days, so the Yang family is not a copy, and there is any disease, it is estimated that it is a disease such as the plague, otherwise there will not be so many soldiers around here.
If the people have suspicions, they will naturally find acquaintances to inquire, you must know that these soldiers of the Yang family have not received any training in secrecy, and naturally people will ask what the cause is, smallpox, a disease more serious than the plague.
But fortunately, although people are panicked, there has not been any thing of people fleeing Chang'an City, even the thing of fleeing Yong'an Fang, this is because the neighborhoods next to the Yang family are no one else, they are all Yang Heng's uncles, and they are all in Yang Heng's house for the New Year now, and they have not gone home, there are only a small number of people left in the family, although the people are also very afraid, but where do they run, especially when they heard that Yang Heng went inside, they were relieved.
And Daddy's house, as well as Yang Heng's home, held two New Year's parties in this atmosphere, and the two parties of the Yang family quieted down the people of Chang'an City. The mood of the people has also calmed down. Since the imperial court has nothing to say. Even Li Er appeared on the street, setting a precedent for the first emperor to greet the people for the New Year.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Yang family should not continue to stay in the city, it is best to move out of the city now, you must know that the people in the city are already panicked, and the minister is afraid of ......" If you want to say that you have no brains, it is really the eldest grandson Wuji, even Li Er is now suspicious. Is this still the eldest brother who helped me take the throne at the beginning, why is he so unbreathable in front of Yang Heng.
"Okay, you go, it's about to be the New Year, go home and prepare early." Li Er was already starting to get angry, so he directly waved his hand and drove out the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest brother.
Move out of the city, let a group of suspected sick people move out at this time, is this to let them go, or let some more people be infected along the way. Li Er directly vetoed this proposal, and then said. It was the Yang family who moved out of the city, which infected many people. But these people will not hate the Yang family, but will hate me, you must know that this is my order, otherwise how can the Yang family go out of the city at this time, but this person's panic also needs to be solved, but how to solve it?
"Ah, there is, New Year's greetings, since you can give New Year's greetings to the ministers, then you can also give New Year's greetings to the people, so that as soon as I appear in front of the public, the people's hearts will be stabilized, you see, I haven't left here, what are you afraid of." Li Er thought about it and felt that this method was good, as long as he went to the eldest sister in Chang'an City to make a stop, then the people would definitely feel at ease.
"Come on, pass it on, on the morning of the first day of the new year, I will give New Year's greetings to the people of the whole city, and the location will be set on Suzaku Street, and you, go and pay attention to safety matters." In the end, Li Er still gave an order behind him, naturally, this New Year's greeting to the people cannot be said not to be notified, but if it is notified, it may attract some enemies, so it is necessary to do a good job of protection.
"No, Your Majesty, the minister must be ready not to let a fly fly in." "Go, go, laugh at something, flies, will there be flies at this time, even if there are, they are fleas, as long as they are protected."
It is rare that after this order was issued, the ministers did not object, and they also knew that the people's panic was not good, but they did not have any way to solve it, and now they let His Majesty take the lead, and they didn't even think about the idea of opposition. Who can't think of a good way to comfort the people.
"The door is open, the door is open, the palace door is open." On the morning of the first day of the new year, Suzaku Street was full of people from all over the city early, and even they were excited to have a good New Year, all talking about whether Li Er would really come out or fake it, so on the morning of the first day of the new year, everyone went out early, and they didn't even bother to pay New Year's greetings, so they came out and came to Suzaku Street, just to watch Li Er's heroic appearance.
You must know that this era is not the next generation, whoever you want to watch can be seen on TV, in this era, even the people who live by the palace gate cannot see Li Er, the emperor, let alone the people in the city.
The palace doors opened. Li Er smiled and walked out slowly, "Hello people of the Tang Dynasty, I, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, am here to greet you for the New Year, Happy New Year." As he spoke, Li Er's hands were raised above his head and he bowed deeply to everyone.
"Happy New Year for the Emperor, Happy New Year for Your Majesty, Happy New Year for the Saints......" The people also paid tribute to Li Er, and then bowed deeply, naturally some people knelt down excitedly, and even burst into tears, finally seeing the emperor, this is a good emperor, yes, Li Er made such a decision, and actually accepted the good person card of the whole city.
"Old man, this year is a long life, how many people are in the family, what is the harvest, is there enough to eat?" What are you doing, how did you learn the leadership of Yang Heng in his previous life, and put on a show in front of the people.
This, in fact, Li Er didn't expect that he would do this, but just now he was hot-headed, so he pulled an old man in front of him to greet him.
"Go back, go back to Your Majesty, the old farmer is now in his fifties, thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, the harvest at home is very good, enough to eat next year's new grain." The old man trembled and answered Li Er's question, and then his legs were weak, and he knelt down, and even made a decision at that time, Li Er pulled his hand, and after going home, he would not wash his hands for at least three years, and he had to find a piece of linen to wrap this hand, you know, this is the first person in Datang, the hand that the emperor of Datang personally pulled, Li Er didn't expect that just such an action would bring so much trouble to this old farmer.
One by one, Li Er took the hands of some people nearby and chatted a few words, and then.
"People of the Tang Dynasty, go back, this is the New Year, there are still a lot of things to do, don't delay your affairs, I have returned to the palace." As he spoke, he bowed to the people again.
"We're not busy, Your Majesty is busy, Your Majesty is going slowly," everyone said something gossiping, and Li Er also returned to the palace in this messy voice.
"Your Majesty, why don't you hold hands with those people without saying hello, what if there are people who are not good for you?" "Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I'm sorry for your trouble, my people are all good, don't you see, they are so excited, I have decided, every year in the future, I will pay New Year's greetings to the people of the whole city today." Li Er was also very excited, he didn't expect that this effect was really good, he obviously felt it, after these people saw him, their mood was obviously much better, maybe tomorrow, no, they won't have that feeling of panic today.
When Yang Heng heard this inside, he was also stunned, this, Li Er actually had this hand, it seems that he really can't underestimate the ancients, they play with people's hearts, that is enough for Yang Heng to study for two lifetimes.
You know, this is in Yang Heng's previous life, there is this kind of thing, it is normal, but that's it, the people around there are also carefully selected, and these people around Li Er are obviously not selected, this is true from their faces and excited moods, it is estimated that Li Er just arranged some security personnel in the crowd, as if he did not have any officials to participate in this action, it seems that those officials do not support or oppose it, this is also something that impresses Yang Heng, Because at this time, whether it is for or against, it is not very good for them, so only silence is the most correct.
