This road is full of mountains and mountains, but the scenery is also very beautiful, but unfortunately, people are very rare.

There is a necessary road to the mountain, where there is a village with some villagers.

Originally, they were not bluffing, but the villagers still came, and when they were about to leave the village and go up the mountain, many villagers appeared in front of them and surrounded them tightly.

Ning Yunxiao looked at the people in front of him in surprise, and asked Li Yiyan, who was not surprised, "What's going on?" ”

"I don't know." Li Yiyan then turned his horse around, walked to a civilian official he reused a little later, and said, "Aiqing, go and ask these villagers what they are going to do?" ”

The minister dismounted and walked straight over, but was stopped by the villagers.

He spoke directly with the village chief of the villagers, and the village chief did not look kind, and after a while, he drove the minister back.

The minister said, "When I went back to the emperor, the old minister went and asked, and they said ......."

"Say what?"

"Say, don't let us pass!"

"How can this be true? At the feet of the dignified Son of Heaven, there are such ignorant Diao people! Before Li Yiyan could speak, he heard a minister next to him blurt out. Although this may sound uncomfortable, it is not necessarily untrue.

Li Yiyan frowned. "How did the good guy go so wrong?" After saying that, he glanced at the people around him, and all of them lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Li Yiyan.

"Can anyone give me an explanation?" Li Yiyan's voice sank a little more, and the ministers around him were also terrified, but they didn't know what to do. The minister, who had just gone to question, continued to deliberate and speak.

The old minister wiped off a thin layer of sweat, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister guesses that there should be something hidden in this. The emperor's hunting with everyone this time is naturally known to the people of the capital. What's more, the emperor is sympathetic to the people and makes a special trip to the path so as not to disturb the people, but these villagers make a special trip to block the emperor's road, there must be a big reason! ”

Ning Yunxiao listened on the side, and couldn't help but nod and echo. "Your Excellency is right."

Hearing that even Ning Yunxiao agreed, Li Yiyan also nodded. "What Aiqing said is indeed reasonable. According to Aiqing's opinion, what do you think is the reason? ”

"Your Majesty, the Queen." The old minister bowed his hand again to show his respect, and then pointed sideways at the villagers not far away and said, "When the old minister negotiated with these villagers, he also asked the reason. But they didn't want to say it, and they didn't know what they were worried about. Your Majesty, look at ......"

The meaning of his words was also obvious, Li Yiyan looked in the direction of those villagers, and then turned his eyes and motioned to the eunuch next to him to help him dismount. When Ning Yunxiao saw it, he also let people help him get off the horse. walked up to Li Yiyan.

When the ministers saw it, they also hurriedly followed Qi Qi and dismounted, stepped forward and stood behind Li Yiyan, ready to stand by at any time.

"But the emperor is going to negotiate with those villagers in person?" Ning Yunxiao walked a few steps, and Bihuan behind him also hurriedly followed, standing beside Ning Yunxiao, with low eyes and no words.

Li Yiyan nodded and replied, "I thought, if these people were dissatisfied with me, or with my courtiers, they should have made a little move, they are not." In that case, I should ask them for myself what this means. ”

After saying that, Li Yiyan whispered a few more words to the eunuchs beside him, and then said aloud: "Everyone Aiqing should rest here first." Then they replied, "Yes." ”

"The concubines will accompany the emperor." Ning Yunxiao watched Li Yiyan take a step and was about to go, so he hurriedly stepped forward and smiled. "The concubines are also curious, whose courage these people borrowed to block the emperor's way, and there must be something hidden in it."

"What is the queen going to do, it's not a major national political affair harem mystery case, where can I use such a talented woman as the queen to come out." Li Yiyan smiled rarely, and patted Ning Yunxiao's shoulder. "What's more, this is not a royal expedition, nor is it a negotiation between the nations, it is really ......"

"I don't care, the concubine has to go and find out what happened." Ning Yunxiao also smiled, pulling Li Yiyan's sleeve and not letting go, Li Yiyan had no choice but to smile and take Ning Yunxiao's hand, but after looking at the serious appearance of the villagers in the distance, he also changed his serious expression.

When those people saw Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao coming, they exchanged their heads for a moment. The village chief seemed to have seen something of the world, he looked at the bright yellow armor on Li Yiyan's body and Ning Yunxiao in the same color robe beside him, and remembered that these big officials were all at the two of them, so he hurriedly knelt down and saluted. "The grass people knock to see the emperor, the queen."

Then, the old and young of the village knelt down with the village chief and shouted in unison: "Knock to the emperor, the queen."

"You don't have to be polite." Li Yiyan hurriedly said aloud. He personally stepped forward to help the elderly village chief who was standing at the forefront.

"Uncle, I took the queen and the courtiers to hunt in the paddock today, which I have already announced to the capital, why is the old man still here with the whole village to block my way?" Li Yiyan pulled Ning Yunxiao with one hand, and pointed to the people who were stagnant behind him with the other.

"This ......" the old village chief seemed to have something unspeakable. It's really old and old people who have to make this decision! With that, he looked at the villagers behind him again, his eyes full of helplessness.

"Uncle might as well talk about it, if there are any difficulties, the emperor will naturally make decisions for you." Ning Yunxiao looked at these people from the side, and couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes, and couldn't help but say to the old village chief.

The old village chief nodded and arched his hand at Ning Yunxiao. Then he pulled a woman behind him, and then he said: "The emperor and the queen don't know anything, originally there were 100 people in our village, and the old and the young lived together very happily. It's just that the good times don't last long. ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yiyan in front of him, as if to observe his reaction.

"One hundred and ten people, and on the outskirts of the capital, it should be a rich village." Li Yiyan seemed to be talking to himself.

"Who's to say it isn't. Just half a year ago, someone in our village suddenly got a strange disease that I don't know what caused it, and many people fell ill. As he spoke, he pointed to the woman beside him: "This daughter-in-law of the Li family, her husband and eldest son are all sick. ”

When Li Yiyan heard this, he hurriedly asked, "In that case, should I ask Lang Zhong to treat him well?" I've never heard of an infectious disease in Beijing, so I wonder if it's contagious. ”

"This disease will not be transmitted to others, it turned out that Lang Zhong was also invited, and Lang Zhong only said that it was related to what we ate, and then asked someone to prescribe medicine and treat the disease, and the silver said that the flowers were spent. But the disease was not cured. The old village chief frowned.

The woman beside her listened to the old village chief say this, and hurriedly added: "It's okay to just spend money on treatment, three months ago, the officers and soldiers suddenly said that they had to pay taxes, but we obviously paid the silver, but those people insisted that the court had issued a notice, and the taxes would be more than three times higher than the original, and we ......."

"Three? How could the emperor have ever made such a will? Ning Yunxiao was really taken aback when he heard this.

Li Yiyan looked at the two of them, and his face became more and more gloomy. "I have never said that I want to increase taxes, but in recent years, I have heard from the minister that there are many disasters in many places, and I have ordered to reduce taxes and allocate a lot of funds for disaster relief. These minions take my words as child's play! ”

Hearing Li Yiyan's words, the old village chief hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed to Li Yiyan a few times and said: "Please also ask the emperor and the queen mother to save the villagers of our village, now our 100 families have no money to see a doctor, and we see that the whole village is about to die...... others also knelt down and echoed: "Please the emperor and the queen mother save us." ”

As they spoke, they brought out their sick relatives. Each one lay on a simple rag shelf, haggard. It made Ning Yunxiao feel very distressed when he saw it.

"Don't worry, the emperor will naturally help you." Ning Yunxiao hurriedly helped the old village chief up and comforted him a few more words.

Li Yiyan was silent for a moment, and instructed the eunuch who came with him: "You go and call the casual Imperial Doctor Zhang and Imperial Doctor Chang to see their family first." By the way, I will pass on my will, today's hunt is canceled, and it is important to cure the disease and save people. The little eunuch immediately took the order.

In just a moment, Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Chang were invited over by two eunuchs, and the two imperial physicians carried the medicine box on their backs, and saw Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao hurriedly saluting. Li Yiyan waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to, and hurriedly said, "You guys go and show these villagers." ”

Ning Yunxiao was also very anxious on the side, and she instructed the palace maid beside her: "You also go to help the two imperial doctors, and do something about it." The palace maids also went.

Li Yiyan was pacing on the side, his brows were furrowed, and Ning Yunxiao also walked up and took his hand when he saw it, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, sit down and rest first." ”

Several ministers also followed, and when they saw this situation, they hurriedly echoed Ning Yunxiao's words: "Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry, the dragon body is important." ”

After a while, Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Chang had already diagnosed some people, came over from the crowd and came to Li Yiyan, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has already diagnosed these villagers, and I think it should be a disease caused by perennial eating habits." ”

"Is it a big deal?" Li Yiyan raised his eyes and looked at the two imperial doctors and asked.

"Although this disease is not a serious disease, it should also be treated for a long time. And now it's about to be midsummer, and the climate is hot, which is not conducive to the condition. Chang Taiyi stroked the beard on his chin and said.

Li Yiyan's face became even more gloomy, he looked at the two imperial doctors, and said in a deep voice: "Then have you prescribed a prescription?" ”

"Yes, Wechen has already prescribed medicine, but it's hard to say how well he recovers." Imperial Physician Zhang also reconsidered.

Hearing this, Ning Yunxiao's face was also very heavy. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. stepped forward and said something in Li Yiyan's ear. Li Yiyan listened, nodded and said, "In that case, you said to the two imperial doctors to hear it and see if it is feasible?" ”

"Okay." Ning Yunxiao replied. Then he turned to the two imperial doctors and said: "Fang Cai Bengong suddenly remembered that I had heard that the noisy and hot summer was not suitable for recovery, and I thought that coming to these people's homes would only aggravate the condition if it was stuffy and unbearable, so why don't we set up a tent, maybe it will be better?" ”

"This ...... There is some truth in what the queen said! You can give it a try. Setting up tents can also allow the people to rest first, and can also isolate these patients, so that the ministers can prescribe the right medicine. Doctor Chang thought for a moment and nodded his head to say yes.

"Then in that case, the main palace will let someone help set up the tent?" After speaking, Ning Yunxiao ordered the following to set up tents in the open space here for the people to rest
