Chapter 983: Auction Paintings
The first person to hear of the symptoms of the plague had been pronounced dead, and the body had already been dragged out of the city by the officers and soldiers, burned and buried on the spot.
And as his body was burned, more and more people in the capital showed symptoms of plague.
In a panic, riots began to appear in the capital, and Hu Tian became more and more busy.
The rebel army in the south has been suppressed, and General Nage is still on the way back to the city, and before he returns, the security in the capital can only rely on the government to maintain stability.
But there were too many people, there would always be a few people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and as more and more people died, those officers and soldiers began to disperse, and by the tenth day, there were no people to be seen on the streets of the entire capital.
In the panic of the people, the officials became more and more frightened, they were very afraid of death, and several people put forward the idea of locking up all the sick and executing them. Just in case, it's better to burn them all.
As soon as this kind of proposal came out, it was agreed by the majority, and Hu Tian blackened his face and directly vetoed it.
"The first point is that they are still alive, and they have not yet reached the point of death, and the second point is that even if it is reached, we are the imperial court, and we must not give up anyone until the last step."
Hu Tian left the early dynasty after leaving these words, and at the same time, the guards of the regent's palace followed him everywhere, brought all the sick patients outside the city, and invited doctors to treat them.
By the end of April, the number of deaths was increasing, and the guards of the Regent's Palace were tired, and several of them even showed symptoms of the plague.
At this time, Hu Tian was still walking on the streets with people, sending preventive decoctions from house to house, but it still didn't have much effect.
To make matters worse, they don't have many herbs in their hands.
After Song Xinyi learned about this, she told him directly and asked him to ask the officials to take the silver.
However, as soon as this remark came out, all the nobles expressed their refusal.
"We will not take our money and save those who are destined to be saved."
The nobles unified their mouths and replied to Hu Tian like this.
"Didn't anyone agree?" Song Xinyi's expression changed greatly, she couldn't imagine that these were all human lives, could it be that those nobles were really ......
Hu Tian sighed and rubbed his swollen and sore temples, he hadn't slept for five or six days, his eyes were black at this time, and the whole person was even haggard.
There is no silver and no herbs, even if he wants to save people, he has the heart and is powerless.
It's not that he didn't enter the palace to talk about it, but the little emperor has always avoided it, although Hu Tian is the regent, but in some places, he adheres to his duty and will never touch it without permission, and this includes the treasury.
Song Xinyi was very angry when she knew this, the treasury was not open, and those patients could only wait for death. She knew that the little emperor was young, but she didn't expect that the little emperor's ears would soften like this, and in order not to open the treasury, he would choose to avoid it.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer medicinal materials, Bai Danshen looked for it several times, Song Xinyi gritted her teeth, directly closed the door of Mu Fengxuan, and painted for a whole day and a night.
When it was opened again, Song Xinyi handed over a large pile of paintings to Anu and Nineteen.
"Don't they like my paintings? With these paintings, auction after auction, I don't believe that I can't save up those silver pieces. ”
Anu and Nineteen glanced at each other, each holding the painting and leaving.
Song Xinyi didn't pay attention to the auction process, and directly inquired about the results of the auction after the two came back.
"A total of 10,000 taels of gold were auctioned." Anu frowned, very displeased, "It's too little." ”
Song Xinyi smiled and said that she was not satisfied.
"Although my paintings are very good, there is a strange thing to live in, and when it is less, it is sought after by everyone, but if it is more, it is not worth much. However, it is already good to be able to collect 10,000 taels of gold, so give it to the prince, these should be enough for a while. "Qiqi Chinese Network
"No."
10,000 taels of gold is a lot, but for such a big patient in the capital, this amount of money can't make waves even if it is lost in the water, right?
But if you can last for a while, you can at least save a few more people, right?
The news soon spread throughout the capital, and the people, as if infected, each took money from their homes and sent it to the regent's palace.
A few pennies are as little as a thousand taels, and even tens of thousands of taels are even worth it. Accumulated little by little, a large amount of silver, Song Xinyi couldn't help crying.
In the face of disaster, there are still good people, aren't they?
At the same time, General Ge also returned to the capital. As soon as the army returned, the law and order in the capital was quickly controlled.
This also made Song Xinyi very happy, because Hu Tian could concentrate more and care about the patients outside the city.
At the same time, Song Xinyi painted again and continued the auction.
The rule of the highest bidder has been canceled as her paintings become more and more, but even if each painting is sold for one or two silver, Song Xinyi will be very happy.
During this period, Ge Nie visited the Regent's Mansion once and watched Song Xinyi speak for a long time.
"Didn't this general come to see the concubine?"
Ge Nie smiled, "It's not a daughter and a concubine who is looking down, but the princess regent." ”
Song Xinyi was stunned, what do you mean by this?
When Ge Nie leaves, Song Xinyi will come to his senses. This is really to respect her as the princess regent.
Smiling slightly, Song Xinyi lifted the pen again, she must do her best what she can.
This silent battle lasted until the end of May, when it was slowly controlled, but this control was also discounted.
Because Hu Tian had to adopt the advice of one of the officials, that is, to gather all the patients in one place and then execute them on the spot.
On the day Song Xinyi knew, she folded the pen directly, stood in Mu Fengxuan's courtyard, looked at the sky, and didn't move for a long time.
With the arrival of June, the plague disappeared completely, and Song Xinyi and Hu Tian also entered the Cold War.
A month later, it was the hottest part of the summer.
But the whole capital was extraordinarily quiet, as if entering a dead realm.
One day, when the rest of the people got up, they were frightened by the sight that appeared in the sky.
There were two suns in the sky.
"Oh my God, what's going on?"
"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country. I'm afraid that our Wei State is going to be chaotic! ”
As soon as the plague had passed and the emotions had stabilized, the two suns that appeared in the sky broke all the peace.
When the surviving people in the capital stared at the two suns, they sighed one sentence after another.
Those who have so many hearts think of the regent, and all kinds of speculations fly up, all saying that they want to replace the other.
