After hearing this, Chen Daowen couldn't care about wiping the foam on his face.

His eyes widened, his pupils contracted, and he said, "Check again, maybe someone is infected and hasn't come out yet." ”

"Checked." This Tongzhi said excitedly: "I have asked people to check again and again, and there are 1,127 people in this workshop, and only three people are sick. ”

Chen Daowen gasped, of course he knew what it meant.

So he then asked, "What about the three?" ”

"Now...... I take care of it according to the method. One person is already fine, and the other two, although I can't say for sure, are better than the other infected people. ”

This is understandable.

In the vast majority of pandemics, deaths occur when the infected are not cared for.

After all, people are panicking, and a large number of people are sick, and people are already hearing about the sick people, where is there time to take care of you? It's just a matter of finding a place to teach you to fend for yourself.

Chen Daowen took a deep breath, and he couldn't help but get excited.

This kind of excitement is actually understandable, after coming to this Jianning Mansion, he has seen too many human tragedies, and he is ecstatic to hear this good news at this time.

So he said: "The situation of the other squares should also be recorded, and all of them should be recorded, and they are saved, and it seems that they have been saved......

He was a little incoherent with excitement.

Tong Zhizi was also very excited, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, let people record it immediately, record ......"

…………

At this time, in the capital, all kinds of gossip flew all over the sky.

Even many wealthy families have fled to Jiangbei.

And among the hundreds of officials, the number of people with old diseases has begun to increase day by day, and there are many people who take leave.

Zhang Anshi asked Gao Xiang to stabilize people's hearts, the more this time, the more production can not be interrupted.

Otherwise, once production is interrupted, if there is a real plague raging, it will definitely have a great impact.

It's a pity that people's hearts are fluctuating, even if Gao Xiang and others try their best to appease people's hearts, it is not very useful.

Nowadays, the shortage of workers is very serious, and many people refuse to show up in the workshop in order to prevent it from happening.

Chen Li came worriedly at this time, and said to Zhang Anshi with a little anxiety: "Grandpa...... Grandpa......"

As soon as Zhang Anshi saw him like this, he knew that there must be no good thing, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Li said: "I noticed that there seemed to be some people with a heart who were secretly ...... Make trouble. ”

Zhang Anshi snorted coldly: "Who is it?" ”

They all said that the plague was a plague from heaven, and that it was ...... Many people pretending to be monks and Taoists are haunting everywhere, collecting money everywhere, not to mention some people...... Or even say...... This is because there are traitors in the court...... That's why Heaven sent calamity. ”

When Zhang Anshi heard this, he said angrily: "What...... Even Yang Gong and them are regarded as traitors? ”

Chen Li: "......"

Chen Li only looked at Zhang Anshi in a daze, his expression a little complicated.

Zhang Anshi saw that he was suddenly silent, so he glared at him and said, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Chen Li hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to say: "Have you ever thought that this traitor they are talking about is you, Grandpa?" ”

Zhang Anshi's face twitched, and he was suddenly furious: "It's really unreasonable, who is spreading rumors and causing trouble!" ”

Chen Li said with a bitter face: "There are many scholars, with the Confucian set of knowledge of heaven and man, talking nonsense everywhere, and the humble has already taken four people...... But...... But...... I'm afraid ......"

Zhang Anshi sneered: "These people have always refused to settle down, in addition to discussing the length of their daily lives, they compare themselves to saints, and talk nonsense all day long......"

"Humble and continue to take people."

"No need." Zhang Anshi was furious, he frowned, his face was cold, and said, "What's the use of taking people!" What can't stop them will only make them more rampant. I don't know how many readers are looking forward to us getting these people! ”

Chen Li said worriedly: "But if that's the case, I'm afraid that I won't stop prohibiting it repeatedly, and I'm worried about these words...... Passed to the ...... of the DPRK"

Zhang Anshi thought about it for a while, and then said: "Jinyi Wei will use all the manpower to find a way to maintain stability inside and outside the capital, at this time, the important thing is to strictly guard against small people." ”

Chen Li actually had no better way, so he had to say, "Yes." ”

Zhang Anshi remembered something at this time, and said, "The people in Weizhong...... Is it also a fluctuating heart? ”

"Grandpa, the guard is okay, the captain and the horseman, the one who should be on duty is still on duty, it's just ...... Everyone also has some worries in their hearts, after all, many people are from families. But I think it's ...... The situation in this guard still depends on the grandfather's side. ”

Zhang Anshi was puzzled: "Look at me? ”

Chen Li said: "As long as the grandfather is doing everything as usual, and he despises these servants and thousands of households, he will naturally have a backbone, and he should be on duty." When the people below see it, they can feel a lot more at ease. However, I heard that many yamen people are sick and take leave, and the hearts of the officials who are in trouble are fluctuating. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "That's really the case, okay, pay attention to the situation on the street." ”

"Yes."

Two days later, a report was first delivered to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he hurried to the Forbidden City.

When I arrived at the Wenlou, I found that Yao Guangxiao, Jin Zhong, Yang Rong and others had all arrived.

Even Ying Tianfu Yin Liu Bian is here.

"Your Majesty......"

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi deeply and said, "I have already learned the news. ”

Zhu Di said and took a deep breath.

That Ying Tianfu Yin Liu Yan, his face was like ashes, and said, "Your Majesty...... I can't cover this matter anymore, and many people ......"

Zhu Di sighed: "How many people are sick? ”

"In the East Side, there are seven or eight people." Liu Bian said with a sad face: "The servants don't dare to count, the people nearby have long been empty, and those few patients are now ...... It's hard to say. ”

Zhu Di sighed faintly: "The capital has not been spared after all." ”

He couldn't help but sigh: "Ruling the world...... It's hard to ......."

Liu Wei said: "Your Majesty, now...... Ying Tianfu's side...... Many of the servants were also scared away, and there was a shortage of manpower, and according to the situation of the plague in previous dynasties, they were only afraid of ...... Next...... Something big could happen......"

Zhu Di looked irritable, and said with a little annoyance: "All the officials, as long as they are not dead, are on duty for me, to prevent infection in the Beijing camp, and find a way to call the doctors ......."

In one breath, he said a lot of measures.

However, for this situation, in fact, Zhu Di himself knows that this is just an itch in his boots.

Liu said: "Yes." ”

He paused, remembered something, and said, "There are a lot of gossips outside now......

"What gossip?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and stared at Liu Di.

Liu Bian said hesitantly: "Say yes...... Say yes...... It's all a warning from heaven......"

Zhu Di's face became terrifying, and he said coldly: "Really? You mean I...... Is it a faint king? ”

"But no one dares to speak of Your Majesty...... But...... Rather, it is said that there is a traitor in the court......" Liu Bian replied cautiously.

As soon as these words came out, Yang Rong and the others' faces were also slightly cold.

Obviously, the amount of information implied in this sentence is enormous.

Zhu Di's eyes narrowed slightly, and he unexpectedly calmed down.

He said calmly: "Oh, it's a traitor again, what's the matter, there are still people who want to clear the king's side?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bian's face turned pale with fright.

At the beginning, Zhu Di was martyred, in the name of the Qing monarch, saying that there were traitors around Emperor Jianwen, and he raised troops into Beijing to fight against traitors on behalf of heaven.

Now this set of tricks, in front of Zhu Di, is like Dong Shi following suit.

Zhu Di said lightly: "Anyone who dares to say anything about it will take it immediately!" At this time, those who dare to cause trouble have all taken it. ”

Liu Bian's face was complicated, but he still said: "Ying Tianfu is only afraid of ......"

Zhu Di said: "If Tianfu is short of manpower, then let Jinyiwei and Dongchang go, don't kill some, how to clean up people's hearts!" ”

Liu Bian was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound.

Zhu Di was in a very bad mood at this time, and waved his hand directly: "Everyone else has retired, Yao Qing's family and Zhang Qing stay." ”

Everyone had no choice but to retire.

Only Yao Guangxiao and Zhang Anshi remained.

Zhu Di's face softened a little, and he said, "What should I do in this situation now?" ”

He looked at Yao Guangxiao first.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty, how should it be." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Di said: "What does this mean? ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the common sense of people, and no one can avoid it. ”

Zhu Di frowned slightly and said, "I'm talking to you about the lives of tens of millions of people, and Master Yao's words are chilling." ”

Yao Guangxiao said calmly: "Your Majesty, do you know why the minister escaped into the empty door?" ”

Zhu Di said: "Let's talk about it." ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "Even if you are as smart as a minister, you have found that many things in this world are not controlled by ministers, and people are just a drop in the ocean after all." So sometimes, the smarter a person is, the more he thinks, the less happy he is, and only I, the Buddha, can make the minister have a moment of peace. Since the plague cannot be stopped by manpower, it is nothing more than to deal with it as before. ”

Zhu Di sighed, then hung his head and didn't say a word.

But soon, he smiled helplessly, but looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Zhang Qing ......"

"The minister is here."

Zhu Di said: "I thought about it, although the Tatars have been much more honest recently, but for a long time, it will eventually be a big trouble, and you have a lot of ways to deal with the Tatars, I heard that the Tatars can't help but change color when they hear your name, you might as well ...... You go and guard Beiping......"

Zhu Di was silent for a moment, and then said: "My grandson is also a lot older, it is time for him to see, although he is a child, he is not an ordinary child, and the ancestors will have to bear on him in the future." This time, let Zhan Ji go with you, you lead the model battalion, and Zhenbeiping for some days. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Anshi was inexplicably touched in his heart, and he didn't want to think about it, so he quickly shook his head and said: "At this time, the minister is afraid that he will not be able to leave." ”

Zhu Di pursed his lips, his face suddenly became a little solemn, and said: "This is my will, do you dare to resist the will." ”

Zhang Anshi didn't want to go against Zhu Di at this time, and didn't want to increase Zhu Di's bad mood, but he knew that at this time, he should stay here more than anyone else.

So he said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers want to resist the order, it's just ...... If the minister went to Beiping, he was only afraid of Jinyiwei's side...... I also want people's hearts to float. The ministers are here, and the people below are more at ease, but if the ministers are not there, the dragons are leaderless, and this plague is not easy to maintain the situation in the capital. Or...... Let the three brothers of the minister go to Beiping with the emperor and grandson......"

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi, looking a little tired, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally said: "Call those three boys into the palace tomorrow to see them, and tell them to prepare for travel." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes." ”

Farewell from Zhu Di's literary building.

Zhang Anshi and Yao Guangxiao walked out of the palace.

"Zhang Shizhu ......"

"Hmm."

"Do you remember what you promised?"

Zhang Anshi saw Yao Guangxiao's rare seriousness, so he said, "What's the matter?" ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "It is said that if the poor monk dies, he will burn a big and round ...... for the poor monk."

Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly: "At this time, Master Yao is still in the mood to joke. ”

"Ah...... What you said before was a joke? Yao Guangxiao's face was miserable.

"No, no, no." Zhang Anshi hurriedly explained: "I mean...... Now is not the time to talk about this. ”

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said: "The poor monk is old, if he is infected with the plague, nine times out of ten, he will not survive." Now there is only one wish, hey...... If you are not afraid of death, the poor monk is worried...... Merit for this lifetime...... It's not a relic. ”

Zhang Anshi: "......"

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhang Anshi steadily, and said very seriously: "A gentleman is difficult to chase after a horse, you must remember the instructions of the poor monk." ”

Zhang Anshi smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, good, if you die in front of me, I will definitely do it, not only that, but also give your relics, build a thirty-story high relics pagoda, and build it on the mountain, um...... On the highest mountain near the city of Nanjing! ”

"In this way, as long as the weather is sunny and people look up, they can see Master Yao's relic, which is long and thick, and will definitely be the envy of everyone in the world."

Yao Guangxiao couldn't help laughing, took Zhang Anshi's hand and said, "You still have a conscience." ”

Immediately, Yao Guangxiao said again: "It's just that the poor monk doesn't understand, why do you refuse to go to Beiping?" ”

Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "I don't know why, some want to go, but when I really want to go, I can't bear it." In this capital, although there are many people who hate me, there are also many people, whether it is the officials of the Taiping Mansion, or the lieutenants of the Jinyi Guard, thousands of households, and servants, they all bet their lives on me, if I go to Beiping, what should they do? ”

"Hey, this is the so-called obsession, it's a pity that you are so young, but you don't know how to stay in the green mountains, and you don't have to worry about the reason for no firewood." Yao Guangxiao shook his head, feeling sorry for Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi said: "But things are not so bad, maybe ...... There really is a solution to the plague. ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "When the poor monk was young, just like you, he always felt that there was always a way to solve the big things. But later, I slowly understood that there are some things in this world that can only be left to their own devices, and there is no joy in life and no pain in death......"

Zhang Anshi immediately said, "Master Yao, you are actually the remnant of the White Lotus Sect...... What is the joy of this life, and what is the pain of death...... It is related to the White Lotus Sect. ”

Zhang Anshi is very familiar with this, he remembers that in the TV series in his last life, Mingjiao put this on his lips and used it as a mantra, and Mingjiao is a variant of the White Lotus Sect, but he didn't expect Yao Guangxiao to have thick eyebrows and big eyes...... Unexpectedly......

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhang Anshi like a mentally retarded person, and said, "What is the joy of life, and why is it bitter to die?" White Lotus Sect? Isn't that what Zhuangzi said? Although the words of the poor monk and the Taoist are a little ashamed of the Buddha, what does this have to do with the White Lotus Sect? Did Master Zhang suppress the White Lotus Sect and suppress the evil spirit? ”

"Really?" Zhang Anshi was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly laughed a few times and covered up: "I'm just joking." ”

…………

Zhu Di returned to Ouchi worriedly.

When Empress Xu saw him like this, she knew what he was worried about, so she got up and said, "Is Zhanji arranged?" ”

Zhu Di said: "Zhang Anshi refused to go to Beiping, saying that he wanted to stay in the capital. ”

Empress Xu frowned slightly, then sighed and said, "An Shi is loyal and brave, and he must not avoid it at this time." Hey......"

Zhu Di held Queen Xu's hand, and the worry in his eyes couldn't be hidden, and he said quietly: "Hey, what if you are also sick?" ”

Empress Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's okay...... Concubines...... It's enough to be able to accompany Your Majesty for so many years, not to mention that things haven't been so bad? ”

Zhu Di sighed: "I still can't rest assured of you." ”

Empress Xu said: "As long as Zhan Ji can do well, the concubines are not worried about other things, I think at the beginning, when he was in Beiping, didn't Jianwen send someone to arrest His Majesty?" At that time, His Majesty was determined to settle the disaster, and he had already prepared to break the kettle and sink the ship. ”

At that time, the concubine also knew that if she came to this point, she would definitely die for life. Now, Jing Nan has succeeded, leaving such a foundation for our children and grandchildren, and God has done a lot to us. ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath and said, "You're right. ”

After a pause, Zhu Di said, "I still hope...... Zhang Anshi also went, after all, he was still young, and he would have a long life in the future, not to mention that he was Zhanji's own uncle, and he would definitely treat Zhanji sincerely. If I and the prince have something to do, Zhan Ji is young, and there will always be someone to assist. ”

He thought, sullen and sullen.

Right now...... Suddenly, Yisha rushed in with a miserable face.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......," Yi Shuha said, and suddenly fell to the ground, his face extremely ugly.

Zhu Di suddenly rose up and said angrily: "What's the matter? ”

Yisha said: "East Palace...... ...... East Palace"

Hearing these two words, Zhu Di's face sank suddenly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Empress Xu couldn't help but get up worriedly.

Yisha said: "There was a eunuch in the East Palace who suddenly vomited blood and died, and after his death, he ...... Darkened complexion. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di's face changed suddenly.

He stared at Yishiha: "Is it the plague?" ”

"Most likely plague ......"

Zhu Di never expected that it would spread so fast.

"Slave maid...... The slave maid listened to what the East Palace said...... This eunuch has never been in or out of the East Palace, and has always served in the East Palace......"

This sentence made Zhu Di's face change even more, that is to say, this eunuch who died of illness did not come and go, so it must have been passed on to him by others in the East Palace.

This means ...... In the East Palace, there should have been quite a few people infected.

Zhu Di gasped, but he tried hard to calm himself down, and said calmly: "Go and call the imperial doctor." ”

Yishu said: "The imperial doctor has already gone, and he has already asked someone to inform Wei Guogong." ”

Zhu Di said angrily: "What's the use of this disease called Zhang Anshi? If he is called, he will be infected! Quickly bring the crown prince, the crown princess and the imperial grandson into the Ouchi to live. ”

Yishaha's expression struggled for a moment, and he said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, the slave is worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the ...... of the Emperor's grandson."

Zhu Di said with a stiff face: "Then place it in Zheng'an Palace." ”

Zheng'an Palace, which is a relatively remote place, is also in the Ouchi.

Yisha opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything else after all, so he had to say, "The slave will arrange it." ”

Zhu Di paced back and forth, and gave an irritable order to the eunuch who was waiting on the side: "Summons the minister, summon Zhang Anshi......"

Zhang Anshi, on the other end, never expected that he had just left the Forbidden City, but he was invited back.

Although the eunuch who came to deliver the decree didn't say anything, Zhang Anshi immediately felt that something was wrong.

So with a heavy mood, I hurriedly entered the palace to meet him.

…………

The fast horse from Jianning Mansion in Fujian Province arrived at Qixia day and night.

"Things, things ......"

Someone broke into the public house of Chen Li.

Chen Li couldn't help but be furious when he saw someone so reckless, and looked up, but saw that it was his nephew Chen Daowen.

He was overjoyed, and at the same time secretly relieved that his nephew was fine.

However, he still kept a straight face and shouted angrily: "Why is there no rules like this? This is Nanzhen Fusi, it is a public house, there are no uncles and nephews here, don't you even understand the humility of the upper and lower? ”

Chen Daowen did not confess his guilt as stupefiedly as before, but said urgently: "Hurry up and go down to see your grandfather, there is a happy event, a great happy event." ”

Chen Li suddenly felt that his Shangguan and uncle were disgraced, but he was still interested in Chen Daowen's words, so he said, "Jianning, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Daowen was full of spirits, with a joy in his eyes that could not be concealed, and said: "I have found a way to deal with the plague, and my grandfather's method is very effective." ”

He raised a thick stack of books in his hand, and continued: "I am fortunate to be humiliated, and I need to report to my grandfather immediately, and it is urgent." ”

Chen Li said: "Then you have to wait, the grandfather has entered the palace." ”

Chen Daowen looked very anxious and said, "How long will you wait?" ”

Seeing that he was so urgent, Chen Li pondered for a moment, and then said, "This matter is indeed not trivial, is your news conclusive?" Don't make any mistakes, show me first. ”

Chen Daowen hurriedly handed over the book.

Chen Li immediately looked down, he was still suspicious at first, after all, he was an elder, and the elder always felt that his junior was reckless and unreliable, so he didn't dare to show his joy.

But after reading this book, I know that Chen Daowen is very solid and very careful, so the situation in this book may be true.

Chen Li couldn't help but frown, and was also a little excited, pulling Chen Daowen and walking out, while saying, "Go, I'll take you to see Grandpa, this matter can't be delayed." ”

…………

Regarding some readers questioning that the Yongle period was a peaceful and prosperous era, and the tiger wrote about the plague in order to create a story, in fact, although the tiger wrote the book more in pursuit of the drama of the story, the historical background is more accurate, and the record of the plague in Fujian is shown below.

In the sixth year of Yongle, in July, the epidemic in Yushan and Yongniu counties of Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, killed more than 1,790 people. In September, more than 78,400 people died from the epidemic in Jianchang, Fuzhou, Jiangxi, Jianning, and Shaowu in Fujian. In October, the epidemic in Shangrao County, Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, killed more than 3,350 households. (See "Ming Shilu")
