Seeing that the emperor asked Xing Guogong, Qin Jin secretly said that he was lucky.

Although he didn't pay attention to other things, he was very wary of Xing Guogong.

is not afraid that Xing Guogong will rebel against the emperor, but that Xing Guogong will compete with him for favor.

Therefore, he focused on reminding Dongchang to monitor Xing Guogong's every move at all times.

"Your Majesty, Xing Guogong is sick, it is said to be a pox, and the slave maid once sent someone to visit, but it was stopped by the Zheng family in the name of infection."

"These big families are getting more and more excessive."

The root of Yuan Kang's qi is itchy.

At the same time, he was worried about Xing Guogong Li Zhong: "Big companion, continue to arrange for people to monitor the Li Mansion to see if you can sneak into the Xingguo Mansion, I want to know the true situation of Xing Guogong?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will send someone to arrange it."

Qin Jin went to arrange, and Yuan Kangdi's face became more and more gloomy.

It seems that these families are ready to seize power as soon as they hear about his death.

He looked up at the roof, clenching his fists hard.

"Fifteen years, God will give him another fifteen years, and he will be able to change all this and completely eliminate the family's checks and balances on the imperial power."

……

In addition to the Imperial City, Li Xing stopped Jiang Hong, who was about to take him to the Imperial Village.

"Your Highness, don't go to Huangzhuang first, you go to the relevant yamen to inquire and see if there are any villages and towns where smallpox has broken out recently."

Seeing Li Xing say this, Jiang Hong was shocked: "You mean, it's not just my father who has smallpox?" ”

"Of course."

Li Xing nodded, seeing that Jiang Hong was still puzzled.

Only then did he explain to him one more sentence: "Your Majesty is in the imperial city, and you can be infected, which means that the smallpox infection is already very serious this time, and we must now find those villages and towns to do a good job of registration, and at the same time requisition and purchase the cultivated cattle in these villages." ”

"What do you do when you buy ploughing cattle?"

Jiang Hong was confused.

Li Xing knew that Jiang Hong was very persistent in novel knowledge.

If you don't explain it to him, you understand.

He'll keep asking.

So Li Xing explained the reason to him: "The cowpox immunization method, as the name suggests, is to borrow the acne on the cow to treat the acne on the body. ”

Of course, Li Xing's explanation is not completely correct, but it is enough to fool Jiang Hong.

"I didn't expect cows to get acne too."

Jiang Hong muttered, and hurriedly hit his horse and went to Shuntian Mansion.

After revealing his identity, Shuntian Mansion Yin did not dare to slack off.

Truthfully report all the villages and towns about the smallpox outbreak to Jiang Hong.

With the detailed situation, Jiang Hong requisitioned another hundred soldiers from Shuntian Mansion to go.

As soon as the soldiers heard that they were going to the village where smallpox had erupted, they were so frightened that they cried for their fathers and mothers.

In the end, Li Xing promised that as long as they went with them, ten taels of silver each, these people's emotions stabilized.

With these soldiers leading the way, it was much safer and smoother.

It's just that when they arrived at the villages and towns where smallpox broke out, Li Xing and Jiang Hong's faces became more and more ugly.

The mood has become more and more sad.

These villages are lifeless, and at least one person in each family has smallpox, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as a white flag.

Seeing Li Xing and Jiang Hong coming with the servants, many families thought that they were here to arrest and execute people, some knelt on the ground and begged to be spared, and some ran home and closed the door.

Seeing this scene, Li Xing and Jiang Hong were stunned, and when they looked at each other, they both saw the incomprehension in each other's eyes.

Only then did he look at the official on the side and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The official knew the identities of the two, so he didn't dare to hide it, so he told the decree issued by the imperial court.

After listening to the decree, Jiang Hong scolded angrily: "The group of bastards in the cabinet is simply inhumane, the people have smallpox is miserable enough, they even dare to burn the living in the name of the imperial court to control smallpox, this is simply digging the foundation of my Great Xia." ”

Li Xing was also so shocked that he couldn't speak at this time.

This group of cabinet members is either bad in their brains or bad in their hearts.

Because of this policy, there are only three results, forcing the people to die, the people fleeing, and the people rebelling.

And many people will choose to flee, if they can't escape, they can only rebel.

With so many villages and towns infected with smallpox, and the Cabinet's policy continues, I am afraid that the dozens of villages near Kyoto that have been infected with smallpox will all rise up.

And the solution to this crisis is actually very simple, and that is to cure these people.

Of course, when ordinary people say that it will be cured, these people will not believe it.

But if he had spoken to the prince, the people would not have continued to question it.

Therefore, Li Xing raised one of Jiang Hong's hands and shouted loudly to the kneeling people: "Fellow villagers, you don't have to worry, Your Majesty has never given a similar order at all, and it is all the private behavior of local government officials. ”

"Your Majesty also heard the news, so he sent the crown prince and the official to help the people treat smallpox."

"The official's name is Li Xing, the son of Xing Guogong."

Li Xing felt that he had to introduce the names at this time, otherwise these people would be cured, and they didn't know whose temple gate to worship.

He's a big loss, that's a lot of prestige!

As soon as these words came out, the people kneeling below suddenly exploded.

They didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would actually shoot the crown prince and Xing Guogong's son Li Xing to treat them.

Jiang Hong touched Li Xing a little unhappily, and when he saw Li Xing looking at him, he whispered: "Lao Li, introduce me!" ”

"It's introduced! The first thing I'm going to say is Your Highness. ”

Li Xing replied in a whisper, but Jiang Hong was anxious: "I'm talking about the name, not the title." ”

"It's all the same, it's all the same, and the people know it."

Li Xing said perfunctorily, then looked at the people, and shouted loudly: "Everyone be quiet, listen to the official, the imperial court has mastered the method of treating smallpox at this time, but the treatment needs the cattle in the village that have smallpox as medicine, so everyone should not hide it, whoever has a cow with smallpox, the official and the prince will buy it at a silver dollar thirty percent higher than the market price." ”

"Master Li, are you telling the truth? It can't be to cheat our cows, right? ”

After the man finished speaking, Li Xing's face turned green.

The bridge of trust between people has gone to men?

Why should I look for it myself?
