The weather in Hebei is not very good, and the size of the rice particles does not know whether it is snow or ice, and the wind "crackles" on the carriage. This thing was still ice when it was in the air, and when it fell to the ground, it turned into water.

The road was muddy, even worse than when Li Xiao came. There are some large pits, which can sink the entire horse's legs into it. The whole two battalions marched in such a muddy pond, and they could not walk twenty miles in a day. If this way is like this, Li Xiao feels that Qingming will not be able to go to the capital.

Ahead was another village, dead under the grey sky. Smoke came out of the chimneys of not a single house, and no human voice came from a single house. You can see dogs starving to death because they are leashed, and you can see rats that are not afraid of people in broad daylight.

Chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, just rampage through the streets. The cow, who doesn't know how to untie the reins, wanders aimlessly. When they see a stack of grain, they will pick it open with their horns and eat the grain that the rats have not eaten inside.

Li Xiao sighed helplessly, and could only order the soldiers to set fire.

This is a relic left by the plague, and there is only one way to deal with this kind of relic, and that is to burn it.

The plague was contained in the capital, but it did not mean that it was also contained in Hebei. This village is a microcosm, and the people who died at the beginning were more fortunate than unlucky. At least they have someone to collect the body!

In the end, there was no one to collect the corpses of those who got sick, only rats, crows, or something else. The skeleton at the gate of the courtyard is such an end.

I can't imagine if I am not in the capital. The plague is spreading in the capital! At the beginning, hundreds of thousands of people were enclosed in the capital and raised like livestock, Li Xiao still felt inhumane. Now, being alive is the greatest humanity.

"Li Shuai, why is there no one in the village?" Ten-year-old Zhu Yihai walked out of Yanzhou for the first time, and everything he saw along the way was new. Speaking of which, the children of the prince of the Zhu family are indeed pitiful, they are rich prisoners. No matter how hard they work and how good they are, they are not allowed to step out of the fiefdom half a step in their lives. If there is no emperor's will, it will be a big event. Local officials will report directly to the court!

Since the successful rebellion of Zhu Laosi and Zhu Di, the emperor has not been able to check much against his relatives and thieves.

"They're all dead...... Li Xiao reluctantly lowered the curtain of the car, and let the wind and snow hit the car glass "pop" and "pop" sound.

"Dead? How did they die? Have they encountered thieves? Zhu Yihai's eyes widened and he looked at Li Xiao in puzzlement. In his impression, only the thieves of Shuibo Liangshan can scourge a village like this.

"Worse than thieves, that's what is called the plague. As soon as this disease occurs, one person will infect a village. And then there's the outward infection, which kills a lot of people, many, many people. These people died because of the plague, which is the greatest disaster in the world. ”

"My mother is dead, too!" Hearing the death, Zhu Yihai immediately remembered his mother.

"Uh......!" Li Xiao was speechless. He really couldn't say to Zhu Yihai, your mother will give birth to a child for Lao Tzu in a few months. You have a half-brother! You can't say that, and you can't say it to death.

"Is Gu Jinjing going to be the emperor?" The child's thinking jumped, and Zhu Yihai's attention soon jumped to being the emperor. His cousin Zhang Huangyan said that he entered Beijing this time to become the emperor. Ten-year-old Zhu Yihai didn't know what the emperor meant, he only knew that he was the most powerful person in the Ming Empire. In a sense, this understanding is also correct.

"That's right. This time you enter Beijing, you will become the new emperor. Li Xiao nodded.

"Then I became the emperor, can I posthumously crown my mother as the queen mother? My uncle said that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and everyone in the world has to listen to the emperor. ”

"Uh......!" Li Xiao continued to endure. I just don't tell you that your mother is giving you a little brother.

Once again, the carriage sank into the mud puddle, and the sound of soldiers shouting trumpets and lifting the wheels out was heard around the perimeter again. Thinking of the ghost traffic in these years, Li Xiao misses the era of sitting on a train and singing songs for 300 kilometers an hour in later generations.

It seems that the old fisher is really old, should he send him a helper? The steam engine can be used as power in Jinan, but the train can't be tinkered with until now.

I really want to see the scene of the Shenzhou land train running, and at that time, the materials from Liaodong will continue to enter Hebei. Help Hebei, which has been hit hard by the plague, recover!

In fact, most of Hebei under Li Xiao's rule, as well as Liaodong and Shandong. It is the least harmful place of this plague!

The crematorium outside the capital that has not been extinguished for a long time ensures that the plague has not spread in the capital. Strict inventory was carried out, all contact with Henan and Shanxi was cut off, and part of Shandong and Hebei was retained.

In the rest of the place, the hardest hit areas are Guanzhong and Henan. Thanks to the two brothers Huang Taiji and Zhang Xianzhong, these two places have basically returned to a state of desolation where there are no people for hundreds of miles and no roosters for thousands of miles.

With all his strength gone, the carriage was once again lifted out of the mud pit. In this way, it took thirteen days to go all the way and stop all the way, and Zhu Yihai came to the capital under the escort of Li Xiao.

Zhu Yihai, who had tidied up his appearance, was led by Li Xiao to Daming Gate, and then went to the Fengxian Hall to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Zhu family. This was all arranged by Sun Chengzong and Zhang Huangyan, and in the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, no powerful minister dared to hold the emperor's hand to do such a thing.

Since the plague was quelled, there has been no martial law in the capital. Hundreds of people witnessed Li Xiao holding the hand of the future emperor and completing the unprecedented feat.

The people didn't know any royal etiquette, they only knew that Li Xiao was very handsome holding the emperor's hand. At the same time, there were not one or two nymphomaniac girls in the capital, and they dreamed of being able to marry Li Xiao and Li Dashuai at night.

The fact that the people don't know doesn't mean that the Taoist gentlemen don't understand. As well-read people, of course they knew that Li Xiao was no longer subordinate to do this. They don't seem to have the desire to popularize science for the broad masses of the people.

After experiencing the brutal martial law of Zheng Sen and Wu Ciyou, the people in the capital became very well-behaved. The guy who always wanted to reason with the servants in the past is gone, and the person who always talks about the government is gone. After the tea and dinner, no one cares if you scold the emperor, but if someone dares to scold Li Xiao, then this person must die more ugly than a pig.

Two young half-grown boys, with whips and fines, told them that the consequences of saying the wrong thing were serious.
