Chapter 130: Balance

The Son of Heaven was furious, and the courtiers immediately silenced themselves and leaned down to listen to the training.

"The plague is so severe, the secretary of state must not need to go into more details, since the plague has appeared in Hantian County, then the plague must be controlled here, and the plague must not be allowed to spread." The Emperor said tiredly, pressing his temples.

"Tell me, what is the best plan?" The food of the king should be the king's worries.

"Qi Father, Erchen is willing to go to Hantian County to deal with the plague, the people are in trouble, Erchen, as the son of his father, should share his father's worries." Li Ke was the first to set an example, and the courtiers behind him immediately echoed.

"Your Highness is benevolent and cares for the people, which is my great fortune and Your Majesty's blessing."

The emperor knew the prince's intentions, but the plague was serious, and his life and death were unknown, so he didn't dare to risk the prince's life.

"Your Majesty, it is not easy to control the plague, the minister thinks that the regent has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he must know a thing or two about the plague, otherwise the regent will assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go there, and with the regent, Your Majesty can also rest assured." Uncle Han opened his mouth for the emperor when he hesitated, and immediately ushered in the support of two-thirds of the officials present.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Sikong Lu didn't say a word from beginning to end, just watched them show loyalty to the emperor and praise the prince with a posture that didn't matter to him.

The emperor pretended to be entangled and looked at Sikong Lu, "What does Sikong Qing think?" Would you like to go to Hantian County to deal with the plague? ”

"What if you don't want to?" A bunch of waste, usually flattering and showing loyalty, is very positive, and it's ridiculous to think about pushing him out when something happens.

"Regent, those who are able work hard, the people are in trouble, you are in a high position, and it is your duty to save the people from fire and water." The prince's subordinates persuaded righteously.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone in person for this trip, so why should the prince shirk again." Xie Lin said meaningfully, and anyone could hear the deep meaning of his words.

"Oh? Xie Hou means that since the crown prince has gone, then the first-class officials of the court and the central government will go together, after all, you are also noble but His Royal Highness the prince. The military attache behind Sikong Lu took Xie Lin's words and said indifferently.

"It's... We are all civil officials, and we do not know anything about the plague, and I ask Your Majesty to send professional people to deal with it, so that the best time is not lost. When it came to himself, Xie Lin immediately confessed, began to clear up the relationship, and no longer held on to Sikong Law.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to let the three princes and the prince deal with the plague together, just so that the people can know that Your Majesty cares about them, and there is nothing more to appease the people than the royal family in person." Mu Taifu also put forward his own pertinent suggestion in a timely manner, since they pulled the regent into the water, it was better to stir up the dispute between the prince and the prince a little.

"Mu Qing is reasonable, in this case, the third prince listened to the order and ordered you to go to Hantian County immediately to deal with the plague, there must be no mistake, the widow will let all the ministries cooperate, and deploy medicinal herbs, medical officers and other necessary supplies to set off with you." The emperor didn't dare to force Sikong Lu to go, and now he had no chips in his hand that could be exchanged, so he could only take a step back.

"The retainers obey." Li Ke and Li Jing stood side by side and respectfully responded to the appointment.

"Sikong Qing obeyed the order, and the widow ordered you to transfer troops to Gaotian County, Hantian County, and Yucheng to the three handover posts, heavily guarded by troops, not to release any infected people, and never let the plague spread to other places, if there is a violation of the order, kill them."

"Yes." Sikong Lu responded calmly, the old emperor was really afraid that he would ask for his life in Beijing, so he sent his son out, and he didn't forget to take himself with him.
