Chapter 271: The Plague Strikes (1)

Shangguan Lang nodded with satisfaction. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info opened his mouth to speak, then stopped, sighed and left.

Shangguan Yu watched his father leave, his eyes looked at the door without blinking, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Yurou was originally a princess that the emperor and the queen mother didn't like. Marrying Shangguan Yu a dead man has no mercy and pity. hastily gave a dowry, and it was gone.

The eldest princess under the emperor's knee was eighteen years old, and the marriage between Princess Yurou and Peng Qixuan was disturbed by Shangguan Yu. The eighteen-year-old Princess Ning Che got married.

The emperor's first daughter was married. You can imagine how grand the wedding was. The entire imperial city was filled with a festive atmosphere. Moreover, the emperor decreed that the condemned prisoners in the imperial city should be exempted from capital crimes, and those who committed serious crimes were given light sentences, and those who committed minor crimes could be released from prison. Just this can show how much the emperor loves this princess. General Peng's side was even more overjoyed. Although they are relatively princesses. But the identity of the princess is also very different! There was a princess who was the emperor's favorite at home. It's not the same in face and identity.

Just when the whole country was celebrating, the Xiongnu on the border became more and more rampant. Not to mention burning, killing and looting, he also got a Taoist priest who knows evil tricks to spread plague on the frontier. The plague spread rapidly, and a large number of refugees fled to the imperial city on the other side of the border. A terrible plague spread throughout the Imperial City. Not to mention that the whole country of the Imperial City has this disease.

At the beginning of the disease, there is a high fever. The next development is dry mouth and cleft lip, and rashes all over the body. Slowly until it festers and dies. The whole country is in a precarious situation, and epidemics occur frequently. Every day, innocent people are seriously ill and dying.

The emperor suddenly became an ant on a hot pan. First, we must find the best doctors to control the development of the epidemic. There were no loyal generals in the second court who could resist the Xiongnu, so he was so anxious that he almost vomited blood.

The battle with the Huns four years ago. Shangguan Lang was the commander, and Shangguan Yu went out with the army. Only then did they beat the Huns back to their old nest.

Now General Peng, the only one in the court who has the fighting strength, must go to the south to suppress the forces of King Lian. lest because of the Huns, they will take advantage of the fire to rebel.

And Shangguan Lang, who was able to restrain the Huns back then. Now that he is a little old, besides, the emperor has offended him completely. He didn't have the face to let him go on the expedition.

The power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and no one can take on the heavy responsibility. The emperor has the intention to let the cold night go out. But Leng Ye excused himself and said that in addition to refining an elixir or something, he didn't know anything about fighting. The emperor knew that he was telling the truth. And it is up to him to develop an antidote to control the epidemic! Therefore, after thinking about it, I can only think of Shangguan Lang again.

But the emperor killed the only bloodline of the Shangguan family. Will Shangguan Lang agree to go on an expedition against the Xiongnu? Without Shangguan Yu, can he still do it at his age? For this reason, the emperor once consulted with Leng Ye. This discussion came and went, and the emperor could only personally move to the Shangguan Mansion and invite Shangguan Lang to fight.

Shangguan Lang's age is actually not too old, less than fifty years old. It's just that he was seriously injured on the battlefield in his early years, and he fell into a spine pain. Then there is the son who was seriously injured and then died. The tortured body and mind are broken, so it looks much older.

The whole country is plagued by the epidemic. There were Huns coming to attack. Shangguan Lang is loyal to the country. The emperor personally came to invite, even if he had a disagreement with the emperor, he would be obliged to go out to fight against the Huns.
