It's late at night.

Xiao Qin returned exhausted, and Mei Xiancheng specially vacated the small courtyard for them.

As soon as I lay down, I couldn't move at all.

The body is obviously tired to the extreme, but it is still difficult to close the eyes.

The tragic scene in the water village during the day repeatedly surfaced in his mind.

But what makes him most uncomfortable is not this, but even though the epidemic is so serious, nearly eighty percent of the people still pin all their hopes on Qingyun Daochang.

They all poured into the vicinity of the dojo like a swarm.

Gather together, kneel and kowtow to pray for God's blessing.

No one can guarantee that there are no plague carriers among these seemingly normal villagers.

Gathered at this moment, once one of them is infected, the other healthy people will inevitably suffer with it.

In the previous life, the most worrying thing about epidemic prevention was the gathering of people.

When Xiao Qin mentioned it to Meixian Cheng, Meixian Cheng was also very embarrassed.

But Xiao Qin had expressed in public before that he would not stop Daoist Qingyun's approach.

If you go to the Dharma field to stop it at this time, it is tantamount to breaking the agreement, and the two sides will inevitably cause conflicts here.

But you can't just let it go.

Xiao Qin's mind was full of countermeasures at this time, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The way of thinking and beliefs of the ancients determined their absurd behavior, but it cannot be said that they were wrong.

After all, this is not an era of belief in science, and they will not even understand what science is.

Take Meixian Cheng, who has the most contact during the day, he is also a Jinshi, and he is also a high-level intellectual in this era.

But between the words, there is still a devotion to the gods and a deep fear of ghosts and gods.

Even the local parents and officials are like this, not to mention the other people.

Due to the general environment, Xiao Qin realized that it was impossible to change their minds.

I can only say nothing, explain nothing, and insist on doing what I should do.

Through a busy day and a night, under the response of Meixian Cheng, the blockade area has gradually taken shape.

The only fortunate thing is that the geographical location of Cuo County is very remote, and there is only one Linxian County called Cheng County within a radius of dozens of miles.

On top of that, it's surrounded by bottomless mountains.

These mountains surround Cuo County and are equivalent to a huge barrier formed by nature.

The official road that mainly connects Cuo County to Cheng County has been completely dug up.

And the secluded mountain road leading from the mountain to the outside world has also been blocked by people.

In other words, Cuo County has almost become an island-like existence.

Those who stay here will definitely not be able to get out, and those outside will be stopped in time if they want to come in.

Until this moment, there are still special personnel stationed on the dug up official road.

Round-the-clock shifts.

According to the plan, Xiao Qin will rush to Cheng County with Meixian Cheng tomorrow.

Because it was known during the day that there was also an epidemic in Cheng County, that is, those villagers who fled from Cuo County before.

There should be a large part of it transferred to Cheng County.

The top priority at the moment should be to rush to Cheng County, and before the epidemic in Cheng County continues to spread outside, even Cheng County will be contained.

At this time, the palace of the Dragon Kingdom was extremely quiet.

Earlier this morning, Father-in-law Qian announced in court that the emperor was ill and was recuperating, and he would not be able to come to court for a period of time in the future.

The crown prince is temporarily in charge of the country, and Zhang Deyu is the assistant to the government.

Subsequently, the court meeting discussed the outbreak of the plague in Cuo County, Huzhou, as the theme of the parliament.

The majority opinion is still the same as the last early dynasty, and it should be left to the host religion to solve the trouble.

Because of the last plague, the imperial court sent many imperial doctors, and temporarily summoned all kinds of famous doctors from the people, but they were helpless.

In the end, it was the host religion that eliminated the plague, which was the most realistic success story.

Of course, there are also some ministers who have raised objections to this, arguing that the imperial court should still do something instead of relying solely on the host religion to apply the law.

If this continues, the prestige of the imperial court among the people will be greatly reduced.

I am afraid that when the time comes, the people will only recognize the host Taoism, but not the imperial court.

Basically, these are the two points of view.

The crown prince sat under the dragon chair, quietly listening to the debate of the ministers, and never said a word.

looks like Lao Chen, which is seriously inconsistent with his age of only seventeen years old.

Slightly, the court was finally quieter.

The prince opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Deyu: "What does Lord Zaifu think?" ”

Zhang Deyu's face was embarrassed: "The old minister hasn't thought about it yet." ”

"Hmm." The crown prince nodded, his eyes slowly turned to the ministers, and he was not in a hurry: "Lone has asked the national teacher to play, and the national teacher will personally rush to Cuo County in the near future." ”

"This time, the national teacher personally went out, and it is expected that a small plague will not be able to turn over much of a storm."

"Ministers, why worry?"

Hearing the name of the national teacher, all the ministers stopped talking.

The prince's words were also very clear, telling them not to worry about it, and to do what they should do.

So what else is there to say.

Soon the early dynasty was dispersed, and the ministers who retreated from the dynasty tacitly chose not to talk about the plague.

Zhang Deyu bypassed the ministers and found Father-in-law Qian.

"Father-in-law Qian, does Your Majesty know about this?"

"Lord Zaisuke, why is this, others don't know about His Majesty's retreat, can you not know?"

"The plague happened suddenly, and His Majesty did not know about it."

"Understood." Zhang Deyu nodded with a smile. "It seems that it is the prince's intention to fully support the host Taoist sect."

"Be careful, sir." Father-in-law Qian looked around vigilantly: "This host Taoism, whether it supports or not, what can it do?" ”

Zhang Deyu was melancholy: "But after all, it is a big trouble for my henchmen of the Dragon Kingdom, alas, the first emperor left a mess, which is really embarrassing Your Majesty." ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty is a generation of Ming Jun, and he has his own fortune in his chest."

"Oh?" Zhang Deyu frowned: "What does Father-in-law Qian mean that His Majesty's retreat this time has a deep meaning?" ”

"The old slave didn't say that." Father-in-law Qian waved his hand: "Lord Zaifu, it's best not to be presumptuous." ”

"It's just one thing, the lower officials are still exhausted after thinking about it, and they still ask Gonggong Qian to teach me." Zhang Deyu approached.

"I heard that Xiao Qin is in Nacuo County at the moment, and the plague can't be a child's play, if it ......"

"Who's to say it isn't." Father-in-law Qian was melancholy: "The old slave is also worried about this matter, if Lord Xiao avoids this matter, it is better to say." ”

"But if you meddle in your business, you're afraid of ...... Alas, it's hard to say, it's hard to say......"
