"Now that the overall situation is important, the queen mother will not talk to you carefully." Xiao Jingning nodded in affirmation of Xiao Yuanshi's approach, but after all, there was too little contact, and he didn't think about it comprehensively, "This plague is very likely to be man-made, I'm afraid it starts from Chixia Town, but it can't end with Chixia Town, so we must prepare for the worst." ”

"Artificial?" Xiao Yuanshi naturally thought of that person, "The queen mother said, Puyang Ying?" ”

Seeing Xiao Jingning's affirmation, Xiao Yuanshi continued to ask: "What is the worst plan?" ”

"Yuan Shi." Xiao Jingning's face was very calm, but his gaze was very firm, but it gave Xiao Yuanshi strength invisibly, "If it really can't stop in Chixia Town, then it can only stop in Jinling." At the time of the Yuan Dynasty, your father was still in Weishan. ”

"Erchen understands, Erchen will immediately send someone to report the matter to his father, so that his father can return to Beijing after he has completely settled down in Jinling."

Xiao Yuanshi understood what Xiao Jingning meant, the worst result was that all the people in Jinling died of the plague, including him and his mother, and at this time, Xiao Xin must not be allowed to come back, as long as he is there, Daliang will still be there. He bowed deeply to Xiao Jingning.

"Erchen, thank your mother for her teachings."

Seeing Xiao Yuanshi enter the court room, Xiao Jingning looked up at the three dignified and solemn words on the door - Wuying Palace.

This is the palace, even in the previous life, Xiao Jingning rarely came to this place. Now adhering to the iron law that the harem can't interfere in politics, she also needs to avoid suspicion. Even standing at this door, it is very eye-catching. It was Xiao Jingning who took Su Ying's hand for a walk around here, thinking about all the things after coming here.

But when he said that Xiao Yuan, he had already made up his mind in his heart, and after stepping up to the main seat with a serious face and saluting the officials in the courtroom, he sat down and went straight to the topic: "The matter is already known, how do you think you should deal with it?" ”

"The Imperial Medical Department has gone to Chixia Town, and the exact news will be transmitted soon." Xun Baishui told him about his previous arrangement, "Although it has not been determined, just in case, the old minister used the cabinet order and ordered the patrol battalion Sun Tong to block the road in and out of Chixia Town one step ahead of the Taiyi Department. ”

At this time, Taichang Siqing and the imperial physician Ling Tang Zhiyu hurriedly came, and before he could say anything, just looking at his face made people's hearts feel cold. Xiao Yuanshi also sank in his heart and asked, "Is it indeed a plague?" ”

Considering the situation, he replied: "After the ministers arrived in Chixia Town, they immediately went to the branch hall of Jifeng Hall, along the way there was mourning all over the field, and from time to time people fell, there was almost no open space in Jifeng Hall, all of them were full of patients, and there was a steady stream of patients coming, this situation, the plague has become a climate, and it must be decided immediately." ”

A thick cloud floated in everyone's hearts, and no one could speak for a while. Xiao Yuanshi clenched his hands into fists, closed his eyes, and what flashed in his mind was the words of Fang Cai and Xiao Jingning, although he had been prepared, but at this time, it was still so difficult to make a decision.

Many things are easy to say, but it is not easy to do. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were already firm, and when he Xiao Yuanshi, as the prince of a country, he must not retreat. At this time, he met a pair of equally firm eyes, it was Xiao Pingzhang.

Xiao Pingzhang, who is always gentle and elegant and erudite in front of people, often makes people forget his identity as a military general. And at this time, Xiao Pingzhang was clearly a general on the battlefield, and Xiao Yuanshi's heart was strangely settled.

I only heard Xiao Pingzhang ask: "In the capital, have you found such patients?" ”

Jing Zhao Yin Mansion Yin Li Gu replied: "Not yet." However, the epidemic was detected late, and it cannot be ruled out that infected patients have entered the capital. The outbreak of the epidemic must have an incubation period, and the minister is worried that if this is the case, then there will be many places in the capital at the same time, and it will be impossible to control it at that time. ”

Xiao Pingzhang nodded, and bowed his hand to Xiao Yuanshi: "Your Highness, please ask for an order to block the capital." ”

There was silence in the room, except for Xun Baishui, who had discussed with Xiao Pingzhang earlier, no one expected that Changlin Shizi, who had always been thoughtful, would say such a thing at this time. You must know that this is a matter of life and death, and everyone dare not echo it, and even his Xiao Pingzhang's request can be said to have offended many people.

A minister immediately jumped out: "Prince Changlin, what is your intention in Changlin Palace?" This is the capital! The foundation of the Son of Heaven, the weight of the imperial capital, is not just a random place. After the lockdown, the city is isolated from the inside and outside, if the epidemic continues, won't the whole city die? ”

Someone started the way, and those who agreed would naturally follow, and said to Xiao Yuanshi: "Yes, there are sick people in the city, but there are also people who don't, are they all in a circle waiting for death?" Changlin Wangfu's heart can be punished! ”

Tang Zhiyu summed it up, but he felt that this should be done, so he immediately said: "It can't be said to be waiting for death." After the closure of the city, the Imperial Medical Department can set aside multiple wards, and once the people have symptoms, they will be transferred to them for unified diagnosis and treatment. People who do not get sick should be isolated, go out as much as possible, and be careful to protect ......"

"So you won't get sick?"

"Uh......" Tang Zhiyu was choked by these words, and said with some embarrassment, "This is an epidemic, who can guarantee that it will be foolproof?" But it's better than running away in a panic, not only not getting treatment, but also causing danger elsewhere. ”

These words naturally made those courtiers dissatisfied, and they glared at him and said: "You can't even guarantee that people who are not sick will not be infected, and what do you say is not waiting for death?" In this capital, are there many people who are not infected or are there many people who are infected? ”

"This ......" Tang Zhiyu was speechless for a while, he has always only buried his head in medical skills, and he is not good at playing tricks, he knows that it is crooked, and he doesn't know how to refute it, so he looks at the situation like a helper.

Seeing this situation, Gu explained the situation: "This person who is contaminated with the epidemic does not mean that it will attack immediately, whether it is really fine, or whether the source of the disease is latent, no matter how good the doctor is, he can't tell it." ”

"Even according to this statement, there are always a lot of people who are fine, but they are trapped in it because the city is sealed and cannot escape, right?"

Many people in the hall suddenly nodded in agreement, and even those who had never objected were a little hesitant in their expressions.

Now that Xiao Yuanshi has made up his mind, and with Xiao Pingzhang's request, he doesn't have to do too much construction, he just needs to push the boat down the river and agree. After calming down, he naturally understood what kind of thoughts those ministers were thinking about, and for his own sake, he was even more open-minded about the relationship with the Changlin Palace, and his heart became more and more firm. He wants to be a Ming Jun and protect the people he wants to protect, so he has to make this decision.

"What your lordships say is reasonable, but since it is an epidemic, you should take the advice of the doctor. Taichang Temple, who leads the world's doctors, should have a response to such cases. Imagine if only one person infected with the plague left the city...... Outside this Jinling City, it is the son of heaven of my beam, and the splendid rivers and mountains of my beam. ”

Xiao Yuanshi didn't directly point out the thoughts of those ministers, but after saying so, he broke the luck in their hearts with one more word.

"In the face of natural and man-made disasters, we must not retreat. When the sick are really running around, what is the use of hiding somewhere, it is better to control the epidemic within a controllable range. ”
