One night ridiculous.

The next day, Yang Guang was still asleep, but there was a "bang" and a heavy knock on the door.

Yang Guang was shocked and opened his eyes.

The dream was woken up, and the unhappiness in my heart can be imagined. Seeing that the knocking on the door outside not only showed no sign of stopping, but intensified, and even Ye Xiaoqiao was about to be woken up, Yang Guang couldn't help but have a gloomy face and went to the ground with his clothes dressed.

After a night's rest, the injuries in his body were more or less better, and as soon as Yang Guang opened the door, he saw a figure slamming into him.

Startled, he subconsciously took two steps back to stabilize his figure, and then steadily caught the person in front of him.

"Father-in-law Yang? Are you calling the soul, so urgent? "When he saw the person who came clearly, Yang Guang was as dissatisfied as he wanted.

"Back to Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!" Gonggong Yang looked unprecedentedly anxious, and even wiped the cold sweat on his face while speaking.

With Yang Gonggong's calmness, unless Yang Guang's life is in danger, there are few things that can make him so chaotic.

Yang Guang's heart sank, and he said slowly: "Okay, don't worry, talk well." ”

"Yes."

Gonggong Yang took a big breath, barely regained some composure, and then said with a little trembling: "Your Majesty, the soldiers who General Sima Dejiao brought out to suppress the bandits, for some reason, fell ill one after another, and once they fell, it would be as short as three or five hours, and as long as more than ten hours, they would definitely die violently. ”

"How can such a thing happen? What disease is so violent? When Yang Guang heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

In his memory, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it seems that there was no such a serious illness, right? Could it be that in the process of suppressing bandits, they also encountered a plague?

"I don't know what the illness is, but after the old slave received the battle report from the front, he knew that it was not a trivial matter, so he hurriedly came to find His Majesty." Gonggong Yang's tone was slightly anxious.

"Where is the war report? Why don't you show it to me? ”

Yang Guang stretched out his hand.

Yang Gonggong was too panicked before, and forgot to hand over the battle report to Yang Guang. At present, he finally reacted, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang took a look, his brows furrowed more and more.

This time, Sima Dejiao brought a total of more than 4,000 troops to suppress the bandits, and according to the battle report, in the process of suppressing the bandits, only less than 30 people were lost, and the losses were almost negligible.

However, as the number of sick and wounded in the army spread at an extremely alarming speed, more than 100 people had died in less than three days.

And this disease is still spreading, and if we can't find a proper solution, the number of casualties will have to be further expanded until the whole army is wiped out.

Therefore, Sima Dejiao advised Yang Guang that he wanted to temporarily stop suppressing bandits and return to Jiangdu with that group of soldiers.

Because on the Jiangdu side, there are many famous doctors, as well as imperial doctors, and even Hua Tuozi, who should be able to cure them.

At the end of the battle report, Sima Dejiao also added a sentence, saying that he could no longer wait for news in the same place, and he had already ordered the battle report to be pulled out as early as when the war report was issued.

"How long will it take to send this war report?" After reading it, Yang Guang's eyes were very solemn.

"About seven days."

Yang Gonggong said while calculating: "Judging from the marching speed of the soldiers, it should be able to return to Jiangdu in three days." ”

"Three days? No way! Immediately send a messenger out, and be sure to stop Sima Dejiao a hundred miles away before he returns to Jiangdu. As soon as his words fell, Yang Guang immediately vetoed.

"Why is that?" Gonggong Yang was suddenly surprised, didn't His Majesty plan to save those people?

"Judging from the scene described in the battle report, the outbreak in their army should be some kind of infectious disease, or it can be described as a plague, otherwise, this disease would not be so dangerous and contagious."

Yang Guang said slowly: "At this time, let them go back to Jiangdu, and it will not only affect them, but also the people of Jiangdu, as well as civil and military officials, and may even spread to Jiangdu Palace." ”

"Got it?"

Yang Gonggong's brain was already blank, he never thought that this incident could be related to the plague, and the march and war contracted the plague, which had never happened since the founding of the Great Sui.

In fact, let alone him, even Yang Guang felt very caught off guard.

However, since the matter has happened, it is natural to come up with a way to deal with it, the plague is really terrible, if it is allowed to grow, the dead and injured will not only be a few hundred, it is likely to be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.

Having said that, there was no need for Yang Guang to emphasize the importance of this matter, Yang Gonggong immediately complied with it and did not dare to delay.

"Since I crossed over, I have really encountered everything, and now even the plague has come out......" Looking at Yang Gonggong's back, Yang Guang sighed a little embarrassed.

Of course, he was not idle, as soon as Gonggong Yang left with his front foot, he ordered someone to call the craftsmen in the palace with his back foot.

This is the first time Yang Guang has summoned craftsmen.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were still some craftsmen who looked down on them, and their social status was similar to that of the common people, so even these craftsmen in the palace were still very low, and they couldn't even compare with the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room.

The person who came to see Yang Guang this time was a rather young craftsman. He looked like he was only about twenty years old.

The reason why he was asked to come over was mainly because those old craftsmen didn't dare to see Yang Guang, the so-called abnormal things must have demons, Yang Guang suddenly summoned him, and the involvement was definitely not small, and the study line might have to leave his head there.

And this little craftsman, who is an apprentice, naturally becomes a scapegoat.

"You ......" Yang Guang glanced at the little craftsman up and down, and was about to speak, but when he saw this person, he was immediately frightened and showed a look of fear, knelt on the ground in a panic, and kept kowtowing heavily.

At the same time, he shouted vaguely: "Your Majesty, the little one confesses, the little one pleads guilty, and I hope that Your Majesty's subordinates will show mercy and not divide it by Ling Chi's punishment." ”

Hearing this, Yang Guang's face was full of black lines, and he said speechlessly: "When the fuck did I mention that I was going to kill you?" ”

"Huh? Your Majesty won't kill me? When the little craftsman heard this, he immediately raised his head in surprise and joy.

"I called you over because I just had something to ask you." As Yang Guang spoke, he picked up a piece of silk that he had prepared earlier from the table behind him, and then covered half of his face with a white cloth.

He gestured, "Do you know how to make masks?" ”

"Masks? I've never heard of this thing......" The little craftsman was stunned for a moment and replied honestly.

"It doesn't matter, I'll teach you."
