Chapter 379: Outbreak of the Plague

Xiao Er smiled and scratched his head: "It turned out to be a handsome little lady, the two nobles can really match, like the jade man in the sky, good-looking tight." ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Xia Jingnian was very comfortable to hear, he took out a heavy piece of silver from his pocket and put it in the palm of his hand, "I will reward you." ”

"Thank you, gentlemen." Xiao Er didn't expect him to get such a windfall, he couldn't close his mouth happily, and his white teeth were exposed, but he was extremely happy.

Ji Qiang passed a handful of men and left on the second day.

The days were calmly pushed back, as if they were calm before the storm.

The Imperial Palace, above the Imperial Court.

"Your Majesty, I heard that a plague broke out in a place in the capital!" As soon as the minister finished saying this, the other courtiers suddenly became nervous.

The ministers looked left and right and muttered quietly, and Xia Jingnian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a headache, "Plague? ”

How could a plague suddenly break out in a good way?

Seeing that Xia Jingnian looked like he didn't believe it, several ministers immediately said: "Your Majesty, this plague can't be neglected. ”

"Yes, the household servant is right, or we will isolate the plague area, it doesn't matter if it affects us, it will not be good if it affects the emperor."

As soon as the words fell, there was soon a voice of approval: "Yes, isolate the plague area!" ”

Many courtiers admonished about isolating the plague area, Xia Jingnian didn't want to listen to it, so he hastily said: "Okay, okay, this matter is free to advocate and retreat from the dynasty!" ”

If he continues to talk nonsense with these ministers like this, he will lose his mind and go crazy before he can find a way to control the plague.

"Retreat!" The eunuch standing by the dragon chair saw that none of the ministers had left, and immediately spoke in his sharp voice.

At this time, the ministers left one by one, and Xia Jingnian went to Ji Qiang's Fengluan Palace, maybe Ji Qiang could give him a "normal" way.

Thinking about it, Xia Jingnian quickened his pace and came to the gate of Ji Qiang's palace, Xi'er and Leng Xiang saw that Xia Jing was coming, and hurriedly got out of the way.

"Qiang'er." Xia Jingnian walked quickly in front of Ji Qiang, and chamomile blessed her body very wisely, and then retreated.

Ji Qiang saw Xia Jingnian's face with a big "sorrow", and after sneering, she asked, "What's the matter, those ministers have given you a problem again?" ”

"It's not a problem this time, the ministers say that there is often an outbreak of plague in one place, but they don't know what it is." When Xia Jingnian thought that those ministers were going to ignore the people in order to avoid harming him, he couldn't wait to talk about these ministers' brains and take a look.

What should she do, Ji Qiang appeased Xia Jingnian, "Okay, isn't it just a plague area, wouldn't it be nice to send a few people to investigate." ”

The two chatted for a while, and after Xia Jingnian left, Ji Qiang instructed the three girls to inspect where the plague area was.

A few days later.

Ji Qiang took a lot of thought and finally found out where the source of the disease was.

She came to Xia Jingnian's palace with three girls, but was stopped by two guards standing outside the door.

"Queen Mother, you dare to stop it?" Chamomile glanced at the two guards dissatisfied, and then heard Xia Jingnian's voice coming from the palace: "Let the queen, come in." ”

With Xia Jingnian's consent, the guards got out of the way, and Ji Qiang approached Xia Jingnian and said, "Jingnian, I found the plague area you want me to check." "Baidu

"Really?" Xia Jingnian was overjoyed.

Since chatting with Ji Qiang that day, he has not sent people down to investigate once or twice, but the results are all "I don't know", or "I can't find it".

Unexpectedly, Ji Qiang actually found out, it seems that it should have wasted a lot of effort, only to hear Ji Qiang say: "The source of the plague is a common person in Henan. ”

"The man had a fever, but it gradually turned into a plague, and the people didn't know it, but then they infected people, and then they knew that the man had a plague." After Ji Qiang finished speaking, she looked at Xia Jingnian with both eyes.

Xia Jingnian's brows furrowed slightly, his index finger tapped on the table, and he sighed: "Then how did this plague spread to the capital." ”

"The emperor doesn't know that there are many caravans on the official roads of the capital and Henan." Ji Qiang poured him tea and explained, "The rich merchant of the caravan has been infected with this plague, but he himself does not know it. It was brought into the city, and it spread. ”

Xia Jingnian suddenly discussed with Ji Qiang for a while, and did not leave Fengluan Hall until it was dark.

The people in the capital were panicked, and Bailu Academy had a few days off, and Master Qingfeng specially asked all the students in the academy not to go and recuperate at home for a few more days.

On the contrary, the readers did not feel relaxed, but deeply felt that they had learned a little less.

Xia Jingnian's ascension to the throne paid more attention to the filling of fresh blood into the imperial court, and they had many more opportunities.

Master Qingfeng was reading a book in the study, his thoughts were sad, and the scholar beside him couldn't help asking, "Master, what's wrong with you, but you're feeling a little unwell?" ”

"No, the old man is just thinking about the people of the capital, the plague is rampant, and the whole people's hearts are panicking, this is not a good thing."

"Dachen will definitely be protected by heaven, so don't worry too much about it." The scholar was only eight years old, and he was naΓ―ve.

Master Qingfeng nodded lightly: "I hope so." pcs

It's another day, and Ji Yang and Su Rongguang are all out of the list: "Your Majesty, now that the plague is spreading in more and more places, three people have been found to be infected with the plague in Xicheng District." ”

Ji Yang is colorful, his face is full of tiredness, he has been busy with this matter for the past few days.

Xia Jingnian sighed, and he looked around: "Do you Aiqing have any good ideas?" ”

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, we should still take what I said before, isolate the plague area and prevent the plague from continuing to spread." Su Rongguang spoke, his face full of seriousness.

Xia Jingnian thought about it, and broke off at the moment: "Okay! ”

The Imperial Guards and all the Imperial Physicians in the Imperial Palace's Imperial Physician Pavilion were dispatched to bring the plague to a single palace, where the Imperial Physicians could develop medicines or give them medicine to stabilize the pain of the sick.

The patients were all yellow-faced, showing a dead and tired face, and wanted to cry without tears.

Ji Qiang proposes to let them eat well, arouse their appetite, and prolong their lives. Many poor and sick people salivated at the big chicken leg on the table, but they had never eaten it like this.

Although I want to think about it now, my stomach is full of vomiting, dizziness, and uncomfortable tightness.

I had to look at the smashing bar in my mouth, and sighed that I really didn't have that life.

When Ji Qiang heard this, she felt guilty and didn't make proper arrangements. Since then, the big fish and meat in the plague area have become carefully boiled meat porridge, and the fragrance of porridge is overflowing every day.

The imperial physician of the Imperial Physician Pavilion in the palace stood at the front, not greedy for life or fear of death, and they gradually gained some confidence that they could survive the epidemic.
