Chapter 83 - Knowing and Not Reporting

Emperor Duan's cold eyes were uncertain, and he suddenly changed his face when he saw the imperial doctors hurriedly going up to the hall and lying there for a long time.

"But the epidemic?"

The oldest imperial doctor immediately kowtowed and replied, and a cold sweat broke out on his body, "I'm afraid these adults are suffering from red fever!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the surrounding ministers panicked and dispersed behind the pillars, and even Duan Jingxun, who was far away at the front of the main hall, hurriedly retreated a few steps back to the steps in front of the palace, he was shocked and angry, "You look carefully!" Is it indeed red fever? ”

The imperial physician nodded helplessly in horror, and in an instant, the entire court fell into a dead silence.

During the reign of Emperor Duan for ten years, there was a red fever in the whole country, the disease occurred in the summer from the humid place in the south, and the sick people died of swelling and ulceration all over the body within three days, and the disease was extremely contagious, and more than half of the people in the city died in just a few months, making people panic everywhere, and then the weather turned cold before gradually improving.

I didn't expect this disease to make a comeback after so many years, and the most terrifying thing is that there is no cure for it so far.

The terrifying disease that was about to be forgotten suddenly reappeared, and it was in the court at the center of this power, Emperor Duan immediately ordered the homes of a few fainted people to be sealed, and the rest of the ministers were not allowed to enter the palace in the near future.

After quickly arranging all this, Emperor Duan hurriedly walked out of the main hall, "Jing Yi and Jing Xun are coming with me!" ”

It wasn't until he returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall that Emperor Duan calmed down his nervousness a little, and he frowned deeply, and the green tea and green cigarette in his hand rolled up, "Give me a thorough investigation!" Everyone was faint in the main hall, and I didn't even know what was going on, how did the prefect of Seoul do this parent official! ”

"Your Majesty is angry, the prefect of Hancheng has been calling himself sick, and he hasn't been to the early dynasty for a few days," Gonggong Su blasted down a few little eunuchs, and personally handed a handkerchief to Emperor Duan and wiped it carefully.

Duan Jingxun was extremely flustered in his heart, "If it's really red fever, the few people who fainted should be killed immediately!" No, it's the extermination of the Nine Clans! Don't let go of a sick person. ”

"The second emperor brother is slow, although the appearance of them is terrifying, but there are strange, it is now late autumn, the weather is cold, this disease should not be transmitted."

"Maybe it's some other epidemic, in short, you must kill it cleanly, father!"

Duan Jingyi's face was grim, "If as the second emperor brother said, everyone in the palace has the possibility of being infected, even the father and the emperor must be killed?" ”

"You! Father, that's not what the son meant! ”

Emperor Duan's already irritable heart was even more chaotic, he threw the cup in his hand, "Kill, kill, kill, you kill everyone in the world, who still recognizes you as a monarch!" ”

He was angry and forced himself to calm down, "This matter has to be investigated from the source, Jing Yi, you send someone to investigate, be sure to find out what kind of illness is passed on to people!" ”

"Yes! Sons and daughters receive orders! ”

Without waiting for details, a eunuch ran in from outside, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu asks to see you." ”

"Nope!"

"He said that there was an urgent report, please see him."

Emperor Duan wrinkled his eyebrows impatiently, "Let him come in, just stand outside and say, don't enter!" ”

After a while, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu knelt on the ground in shock, "Long live Your Majesty, the minister wanted to play the deeds of the Bing Kingdom Mission today, but he was dismissed from the court before he could say anything." ”

"You can just look at the courtesy of the mission, and you don't need to talk to me about the unknown condition at the moment!"

"It's not...... It's ......" the Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked embarrassed.

Several people in the room seemed to think of something at the same time, and they all secretly said that it was not good, and sure enough, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said the second half of the sentence, "The Bing Kingdom mission has not come out of Seoul in the middle of the month, and the minister thinks that they are lingering in the scenery of our country to be slower, but now it seems that something may have happened!" ”

"What!" Everyone present felt a sense of tightness.

The country was built in the northwest, where the climate is cold and the mountains and rivers are cold, and the local people have excellent physical strength in order to survive, and the nomadic life for many years has allowed them to adapt to almost all living conditions.

A few years ago, the lord of the Bing Kingdom coveted the richness of the plains, and once raised troops to attack, the border city garrison was defeated and retreated, and several cities had fallen to the enemy.

At the critical moment, Duan Jingyi asked Ying to go out to fight, and it took him more than half a year to regain all the domestic cities and force Bing Yiren back out of the defense line.

Since then, Duan Jingyi has established the name of the god of war, and the Bing Yi people have tried to attack several times, and after being accurately repulsed, they have died down and returned to the place where they live.

Recently, I heard that it was snowing early in the land of ice, so I sent an embassy to show my goodwill in exchange for supplies.

Originally, Emperor Duan planned to show the demeanor of a great country with courtesy, but who would have thought that the mission would be impartial and happened to be trapped in Seoul.

If there are casualties among the members of the mission, then it is inevitable that they will have to fight with Bing again.

But if all of them are safe and sound, and I am afraid that they will go back to report the epidemic, if Bing will take advantage of this opportunity to start a war, then it will be convenient for me to worry about internal and external troubles, and the chances of victory are slim.

Emperor Duan pulled Duan Jingyi and Duan Jingxun to discuss for a long time before letting the two out of the palace.

As soon as Tang Meng saw Duan Jingyi coming back, he immediately greeted him and handed him a cup of ginseng tea, "But it's done?" What did the Father say? ”

Duan Jingyi told everything about today, and Tang Meng couldn't help frowning, and there was a faint worry in his dark eyes.

"The fever is caused by the effect of medicine, no one knows what the situation in Seoul is, and this matter also involves national prestige, so it must not leave any handle for Bing Yiren!"

"Tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace to meet my father and tell him about Gao Nan, and he will definitely send someone to rescue Hancheng after knowing such a situation," Speaking of this, Duan Jingyi's eyes darkened a little, and he took Tang Meng into his arms, and his tone was dyed with a thick reluctance, "Seoul is a big matter, I want to ask for my life." ”

Tang Meng's eyebrows moved, and he sank for a moment before a sound came from his arms.

Tang Meng couldn't sleep that night, she took advantage of the moonlight to look at the man beside her with closed eyes, knowing that he didn't sleep either.

This is dangerous and not to mention whether Gao Nan will jump off the wall in a hurry, just saying that the epidemic alone is enough to kill people, Tang Meng slowly leaned his head on his chest and enjoyed the moment of tranquility at the moment.

Duan Jingyi couldn't bear to break this beauty, so he only gently raised his hand to hug her tighter.

……

The teacup smashed on the ground, and Duan Jingxun turned his head angrily.

"You said you knew about the epidemic!"

Lin Meng had already been frightened by the six gods, "Gao Nan just said that there were a few cases of illness found in the army, but he didn't say that it was so serious, and he didn't say anything about the Bing envoy, and the minister thought it didn't matter and ......."

"Confused! You can also help him suppress this kind of thing, but what about the prefect of Seoul? He's your guy too? ”

"No, no, Gao Nan's letter said that the prefect of Seoul has been infected, and now even if he wants to report it, he has no strength."

"Ridiculous! Hasn't the entire Seoul City fallen into the hands of Gao Nan, and the Zuo Colonel Guards still refuse to report it, do you know what a sin this is! ”

Lin Meng's anxious old tears were rampant, "Weichen was confused for a while, I didn't expect things to develop to such a point, and I asked the prince to save me!" ”
