Chapter 336: The Plague
She rested for a while, calculated that the hour was almost up, and asked someone to arrange a sedan chair to enter the palace.
On the Golden Luang Palace.
The empress wore a dragon robe and sat in the most honorable position, a position that countless people wanted to sit on.
It symbolizes supreme power and status.
From this high position, he looked down at the Chinese military officials.
"Long live the Empress, long live, long live!"
The civil and military officials waved their hands, and then knelt down to salute.
And Mu Xueyi doesn't have to kneel, and it is precisely because of this that she is particularly conspicuous in the crowd.
"All the ministers are flat!"
After getting permission, everyone said 'Empress Xie', and then got up.
"Have you heard of yesterday's incident?"
The empress asked seemingly casually, with an unfathomable darkness in her eyes, which was unpredictable.
The ministers looked at each other, and finally said in unison: "The ministers don't know!" ”
"I don't know?"
The empress handed the fold to the people around her and asked her to read it out, it was sent by someone who had passed through Zinc City, just yesterday.
After hearing this man's reading, the faces of all the ministers changed slightly, and the woman in the royal blue official uniform on the left took a step to the side and spoke.
"The minister thinks that the person who handed it to His Majesty should be locked up, and then the imperial doctor should be found to treat him."
"Oh? Why? ”
The empress squinted her eyes and asked, the people who passed through Zinc City were infected with the plague three days ago, and if they didn't deal with it early, I am afraid that a nearby city would also be infected.
"Since that person has been from Zinc City, who knows that she herself is not infected? Therefore, the minister thought that he would take down the man first and then send the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him. ”
As soon as the woman in the royal blue official uniform finished speaking, the people behind her also stood up and echoed: "The minister thinks what Lord Zhao said is extremely true. ”
Lord Zhao, who was approved, was even more reasonable, and continued: "If it is diagnosed with the plague, then it will be burned to death directly at the stake, so as not to make the imperial city the next zinc city." ”
The empress asked again: "Then what does Zhao Aiqing think about Zinc City?" ”
"The minister begged the empress to order the slaughter of the city."
Lord Zhao said as a matter of course, the words she said were very cruel and ruthless, but in her opinion, slaughtering the city was the best way, after all, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, since ancient times, the plague was the most difficult to treat.
Why waste that thought, isn't it more convenient to slaughter the city?
The empress stood up suddenly, her face turned cold, and she said, "Presumptuous! Who gave you the courage to slaughter the city? ”
When Lord Zhao saw that the empress was angry, he was so frightened that he knelt down directly, but he still didn't let go and said: "If you don't slaughter the city, the plague may spread to the imperial city, and finally the disaster will hit you, please think twice!" ”
"Come on, pull Zhao Sanqian down and cut it down!"
The empress ordered with a cold face, domineering, and had the power of an emperor.
She said: "Even if the city is infected with the plague, the people inside are still my people, my people, if someone mentions the slaughter of the city again, Zhao Sanqian will be her fate!" ”
"The empress spares her life, the minister knows that she is wrong, the empress spares her life......"
The sound faded away until it could no longer be heard, and the court fell silent again, and no one said anything more.
"The minister believes that the city should be sealed first to prevent it from spreading to other cities, and then send people from the court to treat it."
The person who spoke was a woman in a red official uniform, who looked about forty or fifty years old, with a calm and calm expression, and was the secretary of the military department.
"Then Zhan Ai thinks who should have been to Zinc City?"
The empress has returned to her previous gentle appearance, but she still has the momentum of an emperor and cannot be ignored.
