"The minister thinks that the plague spreads rapidly, and none of the people who are currently infected with the plague survive, so the whole body should be on alert in Wu Province, and let the medical school conduct investigation and testing one by one, but all those infected with the plague should be gathered together and burned to the ground!" Jia Xu stepped forward and said.
"Suck ~~"
There was a gasp in the Jinluan Palace, and Tang Xiaobai held the armrest of the dragon chair tightly, his eyes were bloodshot.
Jia Xu's method is very vicious, 100,000, no, it will soon become 150,000, 200,000 at this speed of transmission! Gather these people together and burn them, if they are corpses, but there are still living people.
A fire burned nearly 200,000 civilians and tens of thousands of soldiers......
However, no one in the Jinluan Hall spoke out to refute it, because in such a situation, if the burning of the fire could solve the spread of the plague, it would be the fastest way at present.
This is the truth......
Zhuge Liang understands, Lu Su also understands, Zhou Yu also understands, everyone understands! But if such a decision was to be made, they did not dare to say! However, now Jia Xu has spoken out.
Tang Xiaobai took a few deep breaths to calm his mood, he stared at Jia Xu with a pair of angry eyes, and then asked, "Jia Xu, do you know what this decision will do to the entire Tang Kingdom and what it will make me look like in the minds of the people!?" β
Jia Xu's eyes did not have the slightest fear, but looked at the emperor, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, although the current medical level of the Tang Kingdom is advanced and avant-garde, it can no longer develop such a fierce plague offensive in a short period of time. If the plague is allowed to spread, His Majesty will lose not only 200,000 people, but the entire Tang Kingdom! β
Jia Xu's voice was decisive and sharp, Tang Xiaobai grabbed the handrail tightly, it has been seven years since he came to this world, and it was the first time he felt so powerless, even if he had the strength of the Yuan Infant Stage, there was still no way to solve the spread of this plague.
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" Pang Tong walked out of the queue of ministers, came to the center of the Jinluan Palace, and said.
Tang Xiaobai stared at Pang Tong with angry eyes, almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and asked, "Pang Tong, why did you second!?" β
Pang Tong straightened his chest and said, "The minister thinks that what Jia Xu's military division said is the only way for the Tang State at present. However, if His Majesty gives such an order, it will inevitably affect His Majesty's image in the eyes of the people. Therefore, the minister is willing to bear the charge of this incident and be scolded by the eternal to protect His Majesty's sage. β
"How do you carry it!?" Tang Xiaobai's breathing became heavy, if he really wanted to burn 200,000 people, then his image as an emperor among all the people would be greatly reduced, and then it would seriously affect the people's feelings in the Tang Kingdom. This may not be a big deal among the undead clan, but if the people's feelings are unstable and the people riot, it will plunge the Tang Kingdom into a place of no return.
Pang Tong looked up to the sky and smiled, and said: "Your Majesty only needs to nod, and everything else will be handed over to the minister, and when the time comes, please ask Your Majesty to give the minister the death penalty, hang the body on the dock of Wu Province, expose it to the sun for 7749 days, let the people spit it, and put all the blame on the minister." β
All the military advisors and generals looked at Pang Tong, especially Guan Yu, a pair of bright little eyes swirling on Pang Tong's body, he always thought that Pang Tong was ugly and unprincipled, especially after General Huang Zhong's heroic soul died overseas, his feelings for Pang Tong could be said to be disgusted.
Today, however, he realized that he was wrong! In this kind of thing, even if he has unrivaled courage on the battlefield, he does not have the courage to bear such a sin.
But Pang Tong, he ......
Tang Xiaobai looked at Pang Tong and said, "Pang Tong, do you want me to lose a great army division after losing 200,000 militia soldiers?" β
Tang Xiaobai's voice was pale and weak, he really didn't know what to do now. When he saw that none of the generals and military advisors in the Jinluan Hall refuted Jia Xu and Pang Tong's words, he knew that this current proposal was the only way......
Pang Tong knelt directly on the ground, a face that was already strange and ugly, and now he was crying and mourning, and he said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, if you don't make a decision again, the plague of the Tang Kingdom will spread outside Wu Province, and the Tang Kingdom will fall into a place of no return!" Your Majesty, as the Holy Lord of the Tang Kingdom, must not bear such a charge. Minister, I implore Your Majesty to nod and let the Minister make sacrifices for the Tang Kingdom and Your Majesty. Even if it has been spurned for thousands of years, as long as His Majesty remembers the innocence of his ministers in his heart, it is enough! β
"Bang." Bang.
The armrests of the sturdy dragon chair made of titanium mixed with iron shirt wood turned into a handful of sawdust dust on Tang Xiaobai's hands, and he stared at Pang Tong tightly.
Perhaps, he can not let Pang Tong be this substitute for the dead, he can let other not very famous military advisors go. But if he does this, then what kind of situation will he fall into among these high-level people in the Jinluan Hall of the Tang Kingdom.
It was never possible to do that.
"Feng Xiao, when I dominate the country, I will personally clear your grievances and erect a bronze statue of heroes and martyrs for you. I would like to bow to you as a token of gratitude. With that, Tang Xiaobai slowly took off the dragon crown on his head with a pair of trembling hands, the table was already shattered, and he could only slowly put the dragon crown on the chair, untie his hair bun, put his hair in a dispersal manner, and walked to Pang Tong to help him up.
Bow at ninety degrees.
All the ministers and generals also bowed to Pang Tong along with Tang Xiaobai.
Pang Tong did not refuse, but laughed and said: "I, Pang Tong, can receive such a gift from Your Majesty, even if I go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, what is it!?" Even if you go down to hell, your majesty's holy light is shrouded in your body, so what is there to fear? If one day, Your Majesty wants to set foot on the Netherworld and Hell, the ministers will definitely do their best for Your Majesty and die! Hahaha! β
Pang Tong turned to leave, Tang Xiaobai still maintained a ninety-degree bowing posture, knowing that Pang Tong's laughter had completely disappeared, so he raised himself, wiped the tears on his face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Retreat, I ...... Tired. β
Watching the emperor walk into the apse in despair, everyone silently bowed their heads and retreated.

That night, all those infected with the plague in Wu Province were sent to designated places for various reasons, and many newly infected people were even sent to carry the corpses, until in the second half of the night, a serious fire broke out in a newly built new urban area southeast of the wharf in Wu Province, and a total of 178,300 people were turned into ashes in this fire.
The buildings and houses in a radius of a hundred miles were reduced to rubble in the fire, and after this fire, Wu Province sent elite soldiers to cordon off the scene, and even flies could not fly in.
After dawn, Pang Tong's body hung on the highest tower of the dock in Wu Province. There is a sign written below the castle tower.
"Pang Tong, the registered military division of the Great Military Division, the word Feng Xiao, regardless of His Majesty's holy decree, is good at advocating the elimination of the plague scourge with open fire and high temperature, so that it caused a serious fire in Wu Province, to 178,300 people died in this fire, the emperor Longyan was furious, and ambushed him, which should have been spurned by the people, but remembering his past contributions to the Tang State, abolished this article, only hung the corpse here, exposed to the sun for three days, in order to set an example."
