Under normal circumstances, if the chief general changes, the deputy general and the staff general will inevitably change accordingly. The king of Runan lost power, and his cronies who had placed him in various important positions were also transferred out one after another—of course, the official oil who had specially met the wind and the rudder and hugged his new thigh in time was another matter.

I also know who these people are, but I'm too lazy to clean them up. Sometimes, it is not a bad thing that officialdom has some official oil, they are the lubricant between the old and new bureaucracy. Without these people at the bottom, all the officials in a certain department will suddenly be replaced with new ones, and neither their superiors nor subordinates will be able to adapt to them.

It took about three months for the political situation to slowly stabilize, and the court no longer issued frequent orders on the appointment and dismissal of officials.

King Qi did not participate in the whole process of political turmoil and adjustment this time, because he had been sick.

After the death of the little county lord, he was bedridden and had a high fever that did not go away, and he was suspected of contracting smallpox. A few days later, smallpox did come out.

The people of the Qi Palace's Mansion hurriedly isolated him to a separate courtyard in the back garden. The people sent by the palace continued to stay behind to take care of them, and the imperial doctors also consulted several times a day. After a few days and nights like this, the high fever gradually subsided, and King Qi slowly recovered. It's just that there are some scars left on the face - it is commonly known as hemp. For this reason, he did not leave the house for three whole months. It is said that he searched everywhere for remedies to remove scars, and a man like him, who was known for his appearance and demeanor, would certainly not tolerate being numb.

During that time, the emperor and I sent people to visit every day. At first we were all worried, afraid that he would not make it to this day. Those who contracted smallpox were equivalent to walking in front of the gate of the underworld, and less than half of them could survive. Many of them will turn into unsightly marijuana faces. Other words. Although his life was saved, his face was ruined.

If King Qi is like that, it will be really cruel——, computer station is updated the fastest. I can't imagine a personable beautiful man suddenly appearing in front of me with a pockmarked face.

So. He didn't go to court, and no one urged him. No matter what happened, no one bothered him. Everyone can relate to his state of mind. When a person's life is at stake. When his face was destroyed and the land was destroyed, everything in the world was no longer important to him.

Because two people in the Qi Palace's Mansion had smallpox one after another, everyone in the palace and the city was in danger, and I was also nervous and restless in those days, for fear that something major would happen.

If the political situation is turbulent at the same time, the house leak coincides with the overnight rain. Plague ravages. If the people's hearts are unstable, the people are resentful, and those opposition parties take the opportunity to make trouble, the situation will be really bad.

It seems that since I got pregnant, things have been going on one after another, and I have hardly slept well.

The Tai Hospital was also very busy during that time, and almost all the Tai Doctors were dispatched, and even the private doctors in the city were organized. A total of inspection teams were formed. Every day, they followed the forbidden army that patrolled the city, inspecting all parts of the city. Once a person with a high fever is found, isolate it immediately, and then treat it as soon as possible. At the same time, the medicine will be uniformly dispensed by the palace and distributed free of charge.

Due to the precautions well done. for three months. The number of smallpox patients in the city gradually decreased from more than 100 at the peak to a few, and finally became none.

This time smallpox. Of the more than 300 people infected in the capital, more than 100 died, and the rest survived. Although there are a batch of new graves outside the city and a batch of hemp in the city, it is already a miracle that only a small number of people die in a small epidemic of smallpox. The people were grateful to the court. I, in particular, seem to have washed away my reputation as a result.

Thankfully, while tensions were in the capital, the rebellion in the north unexpectedly subsided. It also made me hang for many days.

In the most tense days of the counterinsurgency in the north, the emergency prince with chicken feathers continued to spread to the palace every day, and my earth center was constantly lifted and fallen, and I couldn't eat during the day and couldn't sleep at night.

In those days, the emperor was also worried, it was really internal and external troubles, and every day he heard bad news in his ears.

Therefore, when we heard that the northern rebellion had been pacified, the emperor and I were overjoyed. In addition to being happy, we decided to reward the meritorious personnel of this counterinsurgency. And the chief general of the rebellion is also a clan brother Sima Lun, the king of Zhao.

Sima Lun is the emperor's great-grandfather Sima Yi, that is, the younger brother of his grandfather Sima Zhao. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, my father-in-law Ma Yan named this Uncle Wang as the king of Langxie County. During the Xianning period, he was renamed King Zhao and served as the general of Anbei. In the early years of Yuankang, he was reappointed as the general of Zhengxi, Kaifu Yitong and the three divisions, guarding the town pass.

is not only a disciple of the clan, but also has made such a great meritorious service, he should be greatly praised. But as soon as the emperor put forward this idea in the court, it was immediately opposed by the ministers. Because, according to them, the cause of this incident was also due to Sima Lun's unfair punishment and reward, which caused the Qiang people to rebel.

The ministers all held that since this matter was caused by Sima Lun, he was guilty first, and the subsequent counterinsurgency could only be regarded as a reversal of merit and crime, and should no longer be rewarded for meritorious deeds. However, the emperor has always been benevolent, and proposed to refer to the old precedent of the previous emperor, and should be lenient and generous to the clan brothers, punish the guilty lightly, and reward them for meritorious service.

The emperor dares to say this, of course, there is indeed a precedent to follow.

It is said that when Sima Lun was young, he also committed crimes, and he committed particularly embarrassing things. That time, there was a guy in charge of guarding the treasury who stole and sold the imperial qiu on the street, who knew whether he would die or not, and he happened to meet the admiral of the gate to patrol the city, and the stolen goods were seized on the spot, and he was handed over to the court lieutenant for trial with Qiu.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for a person to steal the treasures of the treasury, there must be accomplices. Lord Tingwei is not a vegetarian, the stick, the board, and the tiger chair are sacrificed together, the person has not been on the tiger chair yet, but he glanced at it, and saw that the stool was faintly red with blood, and immediately urinated on his buttocks, crawled on the ground and kowtowed like a mountain, and his father and mother were willing to confess, not to mention that he was just an accomplice?

Among the few people who were unfortunately confessed by him, Sima Lun, who had been named the king of Langxie County, was on the list.

A county king, actually as a thief to steal and sell the treasury treasures, this is a big mess. Sima Lun immediately climbed to the top of the news list, not only was everyone talking about it on the streets, but even the court discussions in those days were inseparable from his name.

The ministers unanimously agreed that Sima Lun's behavior was too disgraceful to the royal family, and he should be severely punished to set an example. Lord Tingwei also wrote a book, sentencing several of the main culprits in this case to "beheading the city" and "abandoning the city", and after beheading, he threw his body on the street for others to watch and spur. When Sima Lun heard this verdict in prison at the time, he must have been "urinating".

In the end, it was the first emperor who was merciful and personally drafted an edict saying that Sima Lun should be punished for his crimes, and he should be remembered as the blood of the royal family, and he could not bear to add to the crime, so he was pardoned. Only then did he save Sima Lun's life from under the knife.

Because of his gratitude for the kindness of the first emperor, Sima Lun later changed his mind and never committed theft again. In the years that the troops have been stationed outside, they have also been conscientious, and they have been working hard to protect the territory for the Sima family.

The turmoil this time was actually caused by his negligence, and he did not balance the relationship between the Han and the foreigners. It's not that he's guilty of some kind of outrageous crime.

Since the emperor invoked the old precedent of the previous emperor, it was difficult for the ministers to say anything.

So the emperor asked Zhang Hua to draft a decree and renamed Sima Lun as a general and a wife.
