In the imperial study, Xie Wuyi's face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water.

looked at the folds in his hand, but his mind was full of Xie Changye's thoughts about the imperial brother just now.

With a snap, Xie Wuyi slapped the fold on the dragon case, and saw the back of his hand that had been slapped by Xie Changye just now, and he was angry again.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Duan is here."

At the door of the imperial study, Chen Fu lowered his head and reported, knowing that Xie Wuyi was in a bad mood, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.

"Let him in." Xie Wuyi took a deep breath and suppressed the displeasure in his heart.

"Wechen has seen the emperor." Duan Mufeng saluted Xie Wuyi.

"Get up, what's the matter with the prime minister's entry into the palace?"

Duan Mufeng's face was solemn, "Your Majesty, the minister came today for the plague a few days ago. ”

Xie Wuyi's heart tightened, "It's already determined that it's the plague?" ”

"Yes." Duan Mufeng nodded, "And the situation is even more serious than we expected before, more and more people are infected in those villages and towns, and the minister wants to ask for orders to go there to help control the spread of the plague." ”

Xie Wuyi frowned, "Prime Minister, going to the plague is not a joke, you have a heavy responsibility, so let someone else go." ”

"Your Majesty, since the minister is the prime minister, he should take the lead, and I hope the emperor will allow it."

Xie Wuyi thought for a moment and was silent for a moment, "Okay, since that's the case, it's according to what you said, but you must put safety first." ”

"Yes, the minister obeys." Duan Mufeng responded.

On the other hand, since Xie Wuyi had already opened his mouth to let him go back to the Seven Kings' Mansion, Xie Changye naturally wouldn't stay in the palace any longer. After wrapping his chest again and changing into a robe, Xie Changye hesitated, but he still came to the imperial study to say goodbye to Xie Wuyi.

After waiting at the door of the imperial study for a while, Xie Changye was passed in.

"Didn't you go back to the Seven Kings' Mansion, what else?" Xie Wuyi frowned, looking like he didn't want to see Xie Changye again.

"Brother Huang, my brother will go back immediately, just to talk to Brother Huang." Xie Changye smiled and spoke.

Anyway, the words just now had already been spoken, and Xie Wuyi was already angry. Instead of leaving directly, it is better to come again, which is considered thoughtful in terms of etiquette.

Looking at Duan Mufeng who was standing aside, Xie Changye smiled, "Prime Minister Duan is also there." ”

"The Seventh Prince." Duan Mufeng also smiled and nodded.

Xie Wuyi looked at Xie Changye's appearance, and only felt angry.

He worries about the government every day, and Xie Changye is just a leisurely prince, but he still has to give birth to some messy thoughts to deal with himself. Not to mention the first emperor's son, even if he is a prince with orthodox blood, there is no one as easy as him.

Thinking of this, Xie Wuyi said in a deep voice: "As the Seventh Prince, what do you look like all day long, it just so happens that there has been a plague in the villages and towns not far from the imperial city recently, and Prime Minister Duan wants to deal with it, so you can go with you, and learn how to deal with the government!" ”

Maybe after Xie Changye stops loitering all day, those messy thoughts will be gone.

"Huh?" Xie Changye was stunned for a moment, looked at Xie Wuyi in surprise, and suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"As the Seventh Prince, this is also your responsibility, why, you don't want to?"

Xie Changye glanced at Duan Mufeng, and then at Xie Wuyi, very doubtful that the other party was frightened by his previous words, afraid that he would really covet him, so he wanted to push Duan Mufeng out of the top bag?

Duan Mufeng opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the plague matter is dangerous after all, the status of the Seventh Prince is noble, or ......."

"He is the dignified Seventh Prince, and he enjoys the respect and preferential treatment of the people on weekdays, and now he should naturally contribute to the treatment of the people." Xie Wuyi interrupted Duan Mufeng's words.

Xie Changye also calmed down at this moment, looking at Xie Wuyi's appearance, he felt that he might be thinking too much.

nodded, and said, "Brother Chen is willing to go, please rest assured." ”

Xie Wuyi's face softened a little, "Okay, let's leave tomorrow, you cooperate with Prime Minister Duan, and step down." ”

"Yes, my brother is retiring."

"Wechen retired."

After Xie Changye and Duan Mufeng left, Xie Wuyi picked up the fold in front of him again.

However, just as he was about to watch the twists, his heart suddenly came back to his senses and remembered Xie Changye's words before:

The younger brother prefers Prime Minister Duan's!

With a thump in his heart, Xie Wuyi suddenly understood what Xie Changye's eyes meant just now......

Maybe it was because he was scared awake by Fei Yu Xuanzhong's appearance, Xie Changye felt that his head was no longer dizzy, his fever had subsided, and the whole person had no other discomfort except for this chill.

And since he received his order, Xie Changye didn't delay much, and immediately asked Xiao Linzi to pack his things after returning to the Seven Kings' Mansion, so that he could go to the villages and towns infected with the plague with Duan Mufeng on the second day.

Plague is no small matter in any dynasty, and if it is not properly controlled, the consequences are unimaginable.

The villages and towns infected with the plague were not too far from the imperial city, and after leaving the imperial city, the carriage walked for most of the day.

The village that was first infected with the plague was called Treading Water Village, Duan Mufeng did not rest after arriving, and after briefly understanding the situation through the officials, he immediately decided to rush to Treading Water Village.

Originally, Duan Mufeng asked Xie Changye to stay and rest, but Xie Changye said that he would go with him.

As soon as the group arrived at Treading Water Village, they immediately smelled a strong smell of wormwood.

Accompanying him was the official in charge of several surrounding villages and towns, headed by Hu Feng.

"Seventh Prince, Prime Minister Duan, many people in this village are infected with the plague, it's really not safe, or call the village chief out of the village for questioning, don't go in."

"Not necessarily." Duan Mufeng shook his head, "Since the true appearance is here, naturally you should go in and see the situation." ”

"This ...... In fact, Treading Water Village ......" Hu Feng hadn't finished speaking, but at this time, he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance, shouting to burn them, burn them.

Xie Changye was startled, glanced at Duan Mufeng, and then quickly led people to follow the direction of the voice.

When I arrived, I found that a high firewood pile had been set up by the river, and dozens of villagers were trapped in the firewood pile, some of whom were even lying on the ground, looking dying.

There were many villagers gathered around, some with torches in their hands, apparently intending to burn those people to death.

"What are you going to do!" Hu Feng hurriedly stepped forward.

"It's all these people, they anger God, the plague will fall, we must burn them to save our Treading Water Village!" In the crowd, someone spoke loudly.

"Ridiculous!" Duan Mufeng frowned, "Anything that angers the heavens is a false word, not to mention how can you be so careless about people's lives and let people go immediately!" ”

At this time, among the crowd, an old man stepped forward: "Can't let it go!" ”
