Chapter 211: Contagion
Su Qing didn't answer Zhen Guogong's question, but asked, "Dare to ask Guo Gonggong, how did you know that there was a plague in Sanhe Town?" ”
Zhen Guogong calmed his sad face, "The news from Sanhe Town, what's wrong?" Could it be that the princess doesn't believe it and thinks the minister is lying? ”
After speaking, Zhenguo Gong looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, how could a minister lie about such a thing, it is countless living lives, including His Royal Highness the Nine." ”
Su Qing said: "Then bother the town Guogong to make it clear, who from Sanhe Town sent you the news?" It's not that you don't believe it, after all, the stakes are high, and you must always ask clearly. ”
Zhen Guogong looked at Su Qing with complicated eyes, and turned to raise his fist to the emperor, "The minister has already returned to Your Majesty, and it is the news from the official mission of Dali Temple who investigated the case with His Royal Highness Jiu in Sanhe Town. ”
"The official of Dali Temple, why did the news reach you, not His Majesty?" Su Qing continued to question.
Zhenguogong's face darkened, "What do you mean by the princess?" At such a time, does the princess still have to raise the bar with her ministers? At this time, controlling the plague was a matter of paramount importance, and the personal vendetta of the princess and her ministers ......"
Su Qing said coldly: "I have no personal grudges with you, it's just a matter of one sentence, make it clear, we will solve the plague in Sanhe Town immediately, if you can't say it......"
After a pause, Su Qing turned his head to look at the emperor with a resolute attitude, "Father, the sons will never agree to the unclear burning of Sanhe Town." ”
The emperor bowed slightly, and said to Zhenguo: "It just so happens that before the Ninth Princess came in, I was asking you who the person who delivered the news was, how did he pass the news, and continue the topic just now." ”
Zhenguo Gong......
He looked at the emperor, how could he feel less sad and angry just now?
Illusion?
With a thought in his heart, Zhenguo said fairly: "Back to Your Majesty, the messenger is an official named Zhao Hu in Dali Temple, his mother is sick, yesterday night, he went back to Beijing overnight to visit, and this morning it was not dawn and returned to Sanhe Town. ”
After a pause, Zhen Guogong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just entered Sanhe Town, he found that there were many people in the town with red spots on their faces, Zhao Hu immediately turned back to Beijing, his identity was limited, he could not directly return this news to His Majesty, so he went to the minister, the minister heard the words, and immediately sent the best doctor in the house to Sanhe Town."
As he spoke, Zhen Guogong choked up.
"After checking, the doctor found that those red rashes were a fierce plague, many years ago, there was an outbreak in Miaojiang, this disease is highly contagious, and there is no cure."
Su Qinghu doubted, "Since it is highly contagious, then the doctor and Zhao Hu were not infected?" Where are they at this time? ”
Zhenguo Gong's eyes were full of pain, "The doctor found out that this was a plague, so after consulting with His Royal Highness the Nine, he sent a message to the minister Feige and sent back the news. As for Zhao Hu, the minister has already isolated him. ”
Su Qing nodded thoughtfully, "So, the doctor in your mansion has seen His Royal Highness the Nine?" ”
Zhen Guogong nodded, "His Royal Highness the Ninth has organized the officials of Dali Temple to impose martial law on Sanhe Town, Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed, if it is delayed for one more day, this epidemic may spread to other places." ”
"Erchen still doesn't agree to burn Sanhe Town." After Zhenguo finished speaking, Su Qingdao said.
"Princess, you ......"
Su Qing pursed his lips, glanced at the Duke of Zhenguo, and said to the emperor: "Father, the son has just returned from Sanhe Town. ”
The corners of Zhen Guogong's mouth twitched fiercely, and he looked at Su Qing in shock.
Su Qing went to Sanhe Town?
How did he not know?
No, he sent someone to keep an eye on Sanhe Town.
Moreover, there was indeed news from over there that the person he sent to sprinkle the medicinal powder entered Sanhe Town, and he entered the palace.
And the emperor ......
The expression on his face, except that the sorrow was basically gone, did not change much, but he raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Zhen Guogong, and then looked at Su Qing, "Oh? ”
Su Qing......
Your Majesty, you are under a lot of pressure as a courtier.
Su Qing said: "Early this morning, because of the concern of His Royal Highness Jiu, he went to Sanhe Town, the entire Sanhe Town, the people live a stable life, and there is no panic, and His Royal Highness Jiu is also normal, and I don't see the official messenger of Dali Temple to put Sanhe Town under martial law." ”
After the words fell, Su Qinghu looked at Zhen Guogong suspiciously, "Could it be that there are two Sanhe towns?" ”
Zhenguo Gong......
"Your Majesty, the minister did receive such news, and the minister did not lie a word."
After a pause, Zhen Guogong looked at Su Qing with disappointment and sympathy, "The minister knows that the Ninth Princess and His Royal Highness are deeply affectionate, and he is reluctant to give up His Highness, but you can't ignore the people of the world for your own strength." ”
After the words fell, the prince of Zhenguo looked at the emperor sincerely and anxiously, "Your Majesty, in this matter, the minister and the nine princesses have their own opinions, Your Majesty might as well send someone to Sanhe Town to take a look in person." ”
His people are already in place on the way to Sanhe Town, and no matter who the emperor sends to Sanhe Town, his people can handle it together.
At this point, Zhen Guogong is very confident.
The emperor nodded, "I have already sent two forbidden soldiers and a imperial doctor to investigate, and I believe that the results will be sent back soon." ”
Zhenguo Gong......
Already sent?
How did he not know?
When? Hasn't he been with the emperor all the time?
On the emperor's side, Duke Fu's chin was slightly raised, and he looked at Duke Zhenguo with contempt.
Early this morning, before you came, when you had a stick of incense, His Majesty sent someone to Sanhe Town.
Not for anything else, just to see how the Ninth Highness is doing.
What a coincidence.
The emperor's words fell, and he said to Su Qing: "What is the matter with you coming?" ”
Su Qing immediately said: "On the way back from Sanhe Town, Erchen saw someone with a rash on his face, Erchen felt strange, so he thought about it, detained the person, and ordered the Pingyang military doctor to diagnose his pulse, and found that this person was actually suffering from a sudden red fever. ”
Acute red fever, an infectious disease, is spread mainly by saliva.
Although it is not fatal, the patient has unbearable itching all over his body, and his body is full of small red rashes.
At present, there is no cure, and it can only be cured when it fades naturally.
Course...... About half a month.
After a pause, Su Qing glanced at the Zhenguo Gong, "That person said that he is from the Zhenguo Mansion, and Erchen has ordered someone to send him back." ”
Zhenguo Gong......
What?
Shocked for a moment, Zhen Guogong suddenly felt extremely itchy on his body, and couldn't help but want to scratch it.
Seeing Zhenguo Gong shrinking back and forth, Su Qing's eyelids twitched, and he immediately took a few steps back, covering his mouth and nose, with a frightened expression, "Could it be, you also have a red fever!" ”
"How could I be so hot!" Zhen Guogong also panicked.
How could he be so hot.
It's really itchy all over the body.
Su Qing pointed to Zhen Guogong's face, "Ah, you have a little red spot on your face!" ”
Taking another step back, Su Qing covered his mouth and nose tightly, "Father, take him down quickly, don't be infected." ”
Gonggong Fu suddenly felt like he was facing a great enemy, and hurriedly said: "Come on, take Zhenguo Gong down, come here, please ask the imperial doctor!" ”
Before Zhen Guogong could react to what was happening, he was taken down by two chamberlains who covered their noses.
