Chapter 3: The Plague Rages
When the princess was ten years old, the Mid-Autumn Festival state banquet, the Qiankun was pure and harmonious, the earth was fragrant, the osmanthus was fragrant, the chrysanthemum wine was yellow, the lord of the country invited the courtiers and the clan to admire the moon, sprinkled to the third tour, King Chen was a little drunk, staring at the dancing girl of the music in a daze, and the lord of the country saw that the timing was just right, and borrowed a few troops from King Chen in a few words, saying that the moon country was eyeing him again, and Jiang Guo had been very disobedient recently, and got a few troops to demonstrate at his doorstep.
Chen Wang was confused and was about to let go.
"Why does my father want my uncle's army, Jiang Guo has always been very obedient," the very careful Princess Qianqian reminded the country.
King Chen woke up with a clever drink, and found an excuse to go out for a break and avoid the lord's move to cut troops.
The lord of the country glanced at the princess and smiled bitterly: Yes, Jiang Guo is very obedient.
Everyone at the banquet held back a smile in their hearts, staring at the wonderful princess like a fool, the princess didn't notice it, and happily got up and danced a Zhan Qiu dance for everyone.
Zha Qiuwu, she is going to smash the old father's heart and liver, it is true.
Although the princess is stupid, she is very liked by the imperial uncles, after all, the princess is a noble person who helped them protect their military power.
When the princess was eleven years old, she followed the imperial uncle to Xuanpu to hunt, her archery skills were very peculiar, she couldn't shoot the rabbit, but she shot the rabbit's tail, the rabbit was frightened, and ran away without a trace, the imperial uncle couldn't bear her to return empty-handed, and taught her two hours of archery in Xuanpu, Uncle Chen's archery skills were the first place in Hengguo, two hours of hard practice, and finally made progress, and shot a small boar before nightfall, the imperial uncle said to go back to roast and eat, the princess was scared and cried, and she wanted to bring the boar back to the palace to eat and live together.
And let him play around the palace, accidentally bumped into by Imperial Doctor Li, saw the pig's ears faintly blue, guessed that the pig had an epidemic, to immediately burn and bury to eliminate the root of the disease, and for the princess and her maid to check the body, to confirm that it was not affected, before asking the lord for instructions to deal with the plague pig.
The lord of the kingdom was angry for the first time, and the princess wept and handed over the boar.
But there is unwillingness, at night while everyone is asleep, the wild boar is introduced into the back mountain of the palace to be released, the back mountain is very close to the pasture of the palace, the wild boar escapes the grain fragrance of the pasture, sneaks into the food, all the pigs are infected, to the vertical day, the herd pigherd does not know about it, and some pig seedlings are sold outside the palace to the people to hoard.
One came and went, in less than a month, all the pigs in Hengguo were infected with swine fever, and in another month, swine fever mutant cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks were also infected, and in less than three months, all the animals in Hengguo were infected with the plague, and the whole country was up and down, and there was no good meat.
Although the lord of the country quickly and vigorously dealt with the matter, but let Hengguo go up to the government and the opposition, down to the people, for a whole year, do not eat meat, the soldiers in the army are thin and anxious, and the morale is greatly reduced.
It took a few months for the people of the whole country to be born one after another, but they were too small to start, so if you are in Hengguo, you often see a family talking around their chickens and ducklings, saying nothing more than eating quickly and growing up quickly.
Speaking of which, I have to thank Princess Qianqian, who is the one who allows the people to communicate with the animals without hindrance.
Fortunately, the people did not know that the plague was caused by the princess, but that the plague came from the palace, and the lord of the kingdom reduced the tax for two years, even if he was dissatisfied, he would not say much, but if he knew that the princess caused it, I am afraid that he would flock into the palace to drink her blood and eat her flesh.
