Chapter 90: The Plague of Jingzhou
In the court, Mu Zifeng looked at Shangguan Haorong, whose head was bandaged like an Indian Ah San, and held back a smile.
Of course, Mu Zifeng was not the only one who was holding back his laughter, the other ministers also lowered their heads, not daring to look at Shangguan Haorong sitting on the king's chair, for fear that they would laugh in front of the hall if they didn't hold back.
But Shangguan Haorong naturally didn't pay attention to these, his face was gloomy, and he looked at the folds handed over by his courtiers, his expression was extremely cold.
"What?" Mu Zifeng asked Shangguan Lian who was standing beside him in a low voice.
Shangguan Lian shook his head and replied in the same low voice: "I don't know, this is the first time that my father wants me to participate in the court meeting. ”
The first time?
Mu Zifeng brushed aside his head, he really wanted to complain about how Shangguan Lian, the prince, was so indisputable? I had never participated in the court meeting before.
What immediately interrupted Mu Zifeng's continued thinking was a cold snort from Shangguan Haorong and a dull sound hitting the ground.
These two voices were extremely harsh in this silent hall.
Mu Zifeng was taken aback, raised his head, and just saw the book that was slammed to the ground by Shangguan Haorong, as well as the trembling bodies of the surrounding ministers.
However, Shangguan Haorong finally spoke, his voice was calm and majestic, "The plague in Jingzhou is spreading!" What is needed is the solution! ”
"The King forgives sins!" A minister not far from Mu Zifeng knelt heavily on the ground, "The plague in Jingzhou is too rampant, minister...... The minister has tried all kinds of methods, but he still can't cure it! The doctors who went to Jingzhou all contracted the plague and died. ”
"Gu Aiqing!" Shangguan Haorong said angrily, "Lone will leave this matter to you, if you don't solve the matter of the plague in Jingzhou within three months, then you will come to see Lone!" ”
"The King forgives you! The King forgives the sins! He was too frightened to raise his head, his whole body was trembling, and even his tone was a little crying.
"The king," Zhu Yilong spoke, "The prince is participating in the court meeting for the first time today, and the prince is the prince who has not yet opened, and the minister thinks that the matter of the plague in Jingzhou can be handed over to His Royal Highness the prince to do!" First, it can test the prince's ability, and second, it can make the prince grow......"
Without waiting for Zhu Yilong to finish speaking, Shangguan Lian said angrily: "General Zhu! Didn't you hear that the doctors sent to us were sick and dead? Now that you want Prince Ben to go to Jingzhou, what are your intentions? ”
Mu Zifeng is clear, it turns out that Shangguan Lian was called to participate in the court meeting today It was Zhu Yilong's idea, Zhu Yilong's purpose is to let the prince take care of the mess in Jingzhou, the plague is not easy to treat, if one is not careful, Shangguan Lian will die, it seems that Zhu Yilong has already stood on Murong Qiushui's side.
"King! Never! An old minister who was over the age of sixteen stood up, "The prince is the prince of the country, and he must not go to Jingzhou to manage the plague, if the prince has any accidents, how can it be good?" ”
As soon as this person spoke, Shangguan Haorong frowned, and he didn't want the prince to go.
"Because I am the crown prince, I have to think about the safety of the people of my Rongguo, if I only know how to hide in the deep palace! How to be worthy of being a prince? Zhu Yilong's sharp scolding sounded again.
Mu Zifeng just wanted to praise Zhu Yilong's bravery in his heart, and dared to say in front of the civil and military officials and Shangguan Haorong how Shangguan Lian was worthy of being the prince. But when he thought about it, his eyes suddenly froze.
Before he had time to stop Shangguan Lian beside him, he had already heard the latter say angrily: "Dare to say that this prince is not worthy of being the prince?" Zhu Yilong, how bold are you? Isn't it a plague? Father! Leave this matter to Erchen! Not to mention March, within two months, Erchen will definitely be able to do it! ”
Ah! You have fallen for Zhu Yilong's agitation method!
Mu Zifeng looked at Shangguan Lian with hatred.
Shangguan Lian also reacted and wanted to retract his words, but as soon as the words came out, how could there be any reason to take them back? had to blush and stare at Zhu Yilong angrily.
The latter sketched a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to Shangguan Haorong again: "The king, since the prince has agreed, the king should also give the prince a chance." ”
Shangguan Haorong raised his head, looked at Shangguan Lian, frowned and asked, "Is the prince serious?" ”
Shangguan Lian wanted to deny it, but he was a good-looking person, and he was even more confident at the moment, so he replied: "Erchen will not dishonor the king's order!" But......" Shangguan Lian turned his head and looked at Mu Zifeng beside him with a wicked smile, "Erchen wants Mr. to go with Erchen?" ”
Mu Zifeng scolded him with his eyes: Are you crazy? I still have to stay in the palace and find a way to deal with Zhu Yilong! How can I go with you to Jingzhou, where I don't know where it is? I don't know how to heal!
Shangguan Haorong nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, Lone promises you." ”
After retreating from the dynasty, Mu Zifeng walked forward alone regardless of it, no matter how Shangguan Lian behind him called him, he didn't stop.
Until......
"Sir! This prince orders you to stop! ”
Mu Zifeng's pace paused, stopped, and didn't look at him angrily until Shangguan Lian hurried to his side.
He was very angry, yes, very angry, angry that Shangguan Lian let him go to Jingzhou with him without his permission, because he had more important things to do!
"Is the gentleman angry?" Shangguan Lian looked at him pitifully.
Facing Shangguan Lian's watery eyes, Mu Zifeng's heart softened, but he still said angrily: "I don't know medical skills, why do you want me to go with you?" Obviously, I fell for Zhu Yilong's agitation method, why do you still want to pull me? If you have a plague, you will die, and you will die yourself, and don't pull me on your back. ”
"Because I think it's ......," Shangguan Lian said with a smile, "Sir is so powerful, when he was assassinated by so many masked flying dragon soldiers during the winter hunt, he could also turn evil into good fortune and retreat with his whole body, Jingzhou matter, I think Sir must also be able to think of a solution." ”
Hearing this, Mu Zifeng was even more unconvinced, last time it was because Jiang Yiyi was there, and after all, people are comparing martial arts, but this time it is a plague, can it be the same?
"And didn't Sir say that?" As he spoke, Shangguan Lian pointed to his head and said, "Everything depends on wisdom, as long as you have wisdom, then no matter how difficult things are, you will definitely be able to do it!" ”
Well, he said this himself, but it was what his teacher said to himself according to the modern times! What bullshit wisdom! What wisdom do I have!
Also, how can you think of a way with your brain this time! O plague, O plague! In ancient times, there was no such good medical treatment as in modern times, and there was a ghost use just by wisdom, and even if the medical skills were good in the face of the plague, it might not be useful, right?
Seeing that Mu Zifeng was silent, raising his feet and walking forward regardless of it, Shangguan Lian thought that Mu Zifeng was really angry, and hurriedly said, "That...... Then you don't have to come with me! I can go to Jingzhou alone! ”
Mu Zifeng stopped and said angrily: "I'm really afraid of you!" Let's go, go back and pack your things, I'll go to Jingzhou with you to have a look. ”
"Really?" Shangguan Lian was pleasantly surprised, "Mr. is so good to me!" ”
After the two left, Zhu Yilong slowly walked from the side of the palace road, looked at the jade bottle lying quietly in his palm, and his eyes became cold little by little.
Mu Feng, it's not that I want you to die, it's the queen who wants you to die, you don't blame me.
Immediately, Murong Xiang's appearance appeared in his mind, and a gentle look rippled in his eyes.
On the second day, Shangguan Haorong prepared the carriage, and Mu Zifeng only took the ruthless sword and set off with Shangguan Lian.
Mu Zifeng rode a horse at the front of the team, and Shangguan Lian sat in the carriage.
Looking at the surrounding environment of the high mountains, Mu Zifeng couldn't help but sigh: "The environment of Rongguo is really like a desert, and there are alpine loess everywhere. ”
"What is the gentleman looking at?" Shangguan Lian opened the curtain and looked at Mu Zifeng.
Mu Zifeng retracted his gaze, "Oh! It's nothing, I feel that the environment here in Rongguo is not very good, and it is not as beautiful as Jiang Guo and Jing'an. ”
"Sir, have you been to Jiang Guo and Jing'an?" Shangguan Lian asked suspiciously.
After a long time, seeing that Mu Zifeng did not answer, Shangguan Lian no longer asked, but said loudly to Mu Zifeng: "Jiang Guo and Jing'an are just the country of projectiles, no matter how good the environment is, what's the use?" Aren't they all the courtiers of my glorious kingdom? ”
Hearing this, Mu Zifeng said with a smile: "That's because Rongguo has a Flying Dragon Army." ”
On the way to Jingzhou, it passed quickly in the small talk between Mu Zifeng and Shangguan Lian. It was already seven days after the two arrived in Jingzhou.
The magistrate had already received a secret order, and knew that the prince of the dynasty was sent by Shangguan Haorong to cure the plague this time, so he waited outside Jingzhou early.
As soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, what imprinted into Mu Zifeng's eyes was a tragic scene of wailing all over the field.
Although there were no corpses lying all over the ground as Mu Zifeng imagined on the street, there were also many sick people who were hurriedly carried away.
There were doctors everywhere, and people who were not infected with the plague wore veils, and as soon as Mu Zifeng and Shangguan Lian arrived in Jingzhou, some officers and soldiers sent veils.
"Your Majesty knocks on the Crown Prince and this lord." The long, fat, strong, oily-faced county lord hurriedly led a group of officials to salute Mu Zifeng and the others.
"Excuse me," Shangguan Lian said, "You are the county magistrate here, right?" What is your name? ”
"The villain's name is Jin Zhongren." The county magistrate replied curtly.
"Why is there a plague here?" Shangguan Lian covered his nose and asked Jin Zhongyuan.
Hearing this, Jin Zhongyuan hurriedly replied: "Originally, Jingzhou was only one person infected with the disease and died at the beginning, and the villain also burned that person's body, but I don't know why many people fell down in one night." ”
Mu Zifeng grasped the suspicion, "You mean, there was only one person who was infected at the beginning, and after the body was cremated, many people were infected with the plague overnight?" ”
"Not bad." Jin Zhong nodded.
"What, what did the gentleman find?" Shangguan Lian asked in a low voice.
Mu Zifeng shook his head, he only grasped the suspicion, and he didn't know the reason why they were sick.
Seeing that Mu Zifeng and the others were worried, Jin Zhongren was not surprised, after all, the officials sent before failed to solve the problem of the plague in Jingzhou.
So he said: "The prince and the adults have been traveling for a long time, and the villain has already prepared the meal, so let's eat the meal first." ”
