Xiao Yilin's face darkened when he heard Dingguogong's words, and his brows furrowed, he hadn't chased his daughter-in-law yet, but Dingguogong was thinking about his little girl first.

The problem is that the little girl in his family is a woman, how can she marry the daughter of Dingguo Gong?

Xiao Yilin glanced at Dingguo Gong, "Dingguo Gong, An Lehou is still young, and he doesn't think about family affairs for the time being, you still give your daughter a look at other people's homes." ”

Dingguo Gong was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Jing would directly refuse this good family business for An Lehou, which is a little wrong.

Ding Guogong looked at Xiao Yilin and said with a smile: "An Lehou is also fifteen this year, it's time to say goodbye, this is not a marriage right away, how can you wait two years, so it's not bad to settle down now."

It's not that I'm boasting, my little girl is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female red, and cooking, and her mother has taught her how to run the house since she was a child, and she can definitely manage a family well. Besides, the little girl is really devoted to An Lehou, otherwise the old man would not have the cheekiness to ask His Royal Highness King Jing to talk about this matchmaker. ”

Xiao Yilin listened to this Dingguo Gong and said a lot after listening to this Dingguo Gong for a while, but Xiao Yilin still said patiently: "Dingguo Gong, Jingyan is still young now, and he has no intention of thinking about family affairs at all. And how can this matter of relatives have to be agreed by the elders in the family. Jing Yan's mother is not in the capital, and if you want to talk about your relatives, you have to wait for Jing Yan's mother to come to the capital. ”

Xiao Yilin thinks that it can be delayed for a while, maybe when the Dingguo Mansion can't wait, he will consider other people's families and no longer worry about his little girl.

Ding Guogong thought about it, An Lehou was still young, and he really couldn't discuss family affairs in person, so he had to rely on the elders in the family to make the decisions.

However, Dingguo Gong is not in a hurry, An Lehou's elders are not there, and others can't say goodbye to An Lehou. During this period, he can invite An Lehou to come to the house as a guest, and he can also let his daughter and An Lehou get acquainted with each other.

As long as the two children have a friendship, are you still afraid that this family affair will not be successful at that time?

Thinking of this, Dingguo Gong didn't stop Xiao Yilin, "What His Royal Highness King Jing said is reasonable, then wait for An Lehou's parents to enter Beijing to talk about this matter later." ”

Xiao Yilin was relieved to see that he had finally fooled people away. Fortunately, Jing Yan went to the wasteland on the outskirts of Beijing today and did not come to the court.

Xiao Yilin thought of what the little girl asked him to do, so he didn't leave the palace, but went to the Zichen Palace.

There were no other ministers in the Zichen Hall at this time, and Xiao Chenghan was reviewing the chapters. Hearing the chamberlain Han Liyu report that the fourth son asked to see him, he was a little surprised, and he didn't know what was going on, "Let him come in." ”

Xiao Yilin entered the Zichen Hall and saluted and said: "Father, Jing Yan has already gone to the outskirts of Beijing to clean up that wasteland, Jing Yan wants to ask her father to allow her not to go to court in the future, after all, she only has a title and no official position." In the future, she will often stay outside the city, and it is really inconvenient to come to the court. ”

After all, there was nothing to do with the little girl in the last court, standing in vain and listening to others.

Xiao Chenghan nodded, "This is okay, let her manage that wasteland with peace of mind, I also want to see how far she can go." If she did a good job, no one would question me giving her this title anymore. ”

At this moment, Han Li hurriedly walked in, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Hubu Shangshu Xu and Lord Jingzhao Yin Yu ask to see you. ”

Xiao Chenghan asked curiously, "Didn't they just leave the court?" What's the urgency? Let them in. ”

After a while, Xu Liangsheng and Jing Zhaoyin Yu Xuewen hurriedly walked in, and after the two saluted, Yu Xuewen took the lead in reporting: "Your Majesty, the minister received an urgent report from several county orders in Duling County, Xinfeng County, and Baling County below, saying that several of their counties have found an epidemic, and it is said that the epidemic is spreading very quickly, and now several villages have been infected with the epidemic.

Several county officials have already dispatched officials to temporarily seal off these villages, and they are only allowed to enter but not leave. I'm afraid that if we can't find a cure for this epidemic, it will spread outward, and if it spreads to the capital, it will be troublesome. In particular, Xinfeng County is very close to the capital. ”

Xiao Yilin was listening to it at this time, and he also changed his color when he heard it. Nowadays, people talk about epidemics, because the presence of epidemics means deaths, and no one knows how many people will die and who will be infected.

Xiao Chenghan's heart also sank, "The disaster here is not serious, and no one starved to death." Why did this good guy make a plague? Immediately send troops to guard the access roads of Baling County, Duling County, and Xinfeng County, and don't let anyone out of the epidemic area. It is imperative that the epidemic is contained within these counties.

Also, be sure to find out where the source of the disease came from. I will send people from the Tai Hospital to heal the sick and find a cure. ”

Xiao Yilin said: "Father, I always feel that this epidemic appeared too suddenly, and there is no sign at all. I wonder if this could be artificial? ”

The faces of several people present changed.

Xiao Chenghan frowned, if it was artificial, what was the purpose? ”

Xiao Yilin said: "Father, you can see that the counties where the epidemic was found are not far from the capital, and they almost half surround the capital. If this is artificial, the target is likely to be the capital.

The outbreak of the epidemic in the Gyeonggi region will inevitably attract the attention of officials in the various ministries in the capital, so that other changes will be overlooked. I think we must be calm at this time, and the point is to let the generals guarding the border pass pay attention to it, and don't let the foreigners take advantage of the loopholes. ”

Xiao Chenghan nodded and said, "You're right, if someone uses this matter to divert our attention, there will definitely be a plan." ”

Xiao Chenghan turned his head to Han Li and said, "Immediately summon all the ministers into the palace to discuss matters." ”

Han Li immediately bowed down and replied, "Slave maid, let's send someone to deliver a letter to summon all the adults into the palace." ”

Xiao Yilin didn't leave when he saw it, and waited for a while for everyone to discuss it together.

Soon all the ministers were recruited into the palace.

As soon as the ministers heard that there had been epidemics in several counties near the capital, and that some villages had infected entire villages, the ministers' faces changed drastically.

Xiao Chenghan looked at Zuo Yunzhou, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, and said: "Zuo Imperial Envoy, you Imperial Hospital will send more imperial doctors over, and you must find out how to cure the epidemic, and also find out where the source of the epidemic comes from." ”

Zuo Yunzhou bowed and said, "The minister will do his best to find a cure and control the epidemic as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Chenghan said to He Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "He Yi, you send a few people to lead troops to these counties to guard, and it is important to control the epidemic in these counties and prevent it from spreading outward." Personnel in Baling County, Duling County, and Xinfeng County are only allowed to enter but not leave. Know that the pandemic is over. ”

He Yi took the order and bowed down and said, "The minister personally supervises this matter." ”

Xiao Chenghan said: "It is not clear about the specific situation, Yu Xuewen, you sent a message, ordering people everywhere not to move around at will to avoid the spread of the epidemic." At the same time, it is important to avoid panic. ”
