"Uncle, why don't you leave?"

Xu Jing walked out of the Xi Zheng Hall quickly and supported Lin Hai, who appeared in front of him and wanted to kneel.

"Your Majesty has never left, how can the minister, as the prime minister of a country, leave the people of Li and leave?"

Lin Hai stood up and grabbed Xu Jing's hand with his backhand, his eyes resolute.

"With such a catastrophe, as an emperor, I naturally can't go. Moreover, I am sure that I will be able to isolate myself from the plague. But uncle, if you stay in this capital, I'm afraid that it may not be stable. ”

Xu Jing shook his head and persuaded Lin Hai.

"Your Majesty, as a courtier, I should follow in your footsteps."

"Ruochen is now upright and in his prime, and he probably won't stay in the capital and wait for death."

"But now, how many days can the minister have when he is past the year of Aifu? Death is death, and you should only use the last bit of time to follow Your Majesty. ”

Lin Hai's eyes were resolute, and he resolutely rejected Xu Jing's decision to let him leave the capital.

Xu Jing was speechless, so he could only nod silently.

"Well, my uncle will wait for the plague to end in this capital."

Xu Jing helped Lin Hai sit down and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty was able to predict this plague so accurately, but does he know the inside story?"

After sitting down, Lin Hai immediately asked for details.

Xu Jing's reaction was extremely fast, although it was still not as fast as the spread of the plague, it was already excellent.

If Xu Jing hadn't arranged it in advance, I was afraid that all the people in the capital would have become potential infections of the plague at this moment.

And now, the people who are known to have been exposed to the plague are actually only one-twelfth of the capital.

If this group of infected people can be locked down as soon as possible, perhaps only these infected people will be lost in the capital.

"It's still slow, although I perceive it early, I'm afraid that many people will still die in this catastrophe."

Facing Lin Hai's inquiry, Xu Jing sighed slightly.

It seems that he has grasped the opportunity, but in fact he is still one step slower.

This step is slow, step by step.

Xu Jing predicted in his heart that if the plague wanted to be completely quelled, he was afraid that at least half of the people would die.

That's tens of thousands!

"Why should Your Majesty blame yourself? It's the best decision you can make. ”

"Your decision is worthy of your heart and worthy of the people."

Lin Hai comforted Xu Jing.

As an old fox who has experienced decades of ups and downs in the official sea, how can Lin Hai not see that Xu Jing's mood is difficult to calm down at the moment.

It's just that although Lin Hai said this, how is his mood different from Xu Jing?

I am also deeply uneasy about the current situation.

As a witness to the plague thirty years ago, he had a clear understanding of such human disasters.

No matter what dynasty or generation, once such a disaster breaks out, hundreds of villages will be wiped out.

Many of the cities fell silent and became eagle falconry hunting grounds.

There are almost no emperors who can overwhelm the lowest losses like Xu Jing.

This is also the reason why Lin Hai was able to appease Xu Jing so frankly.

"That's human life! Tens of thousands of lives! How do these lunatics do it? ”

Xu Jing's eyes were full of anger, and he pressed his teeth and spit out from his mouth word by word.

"Is that the man? He's still alive? ”

Lin Hai heard too much from these brief words.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on his back, and his hands and feet were cold.

"Who else but those madmen? Plagues may not happen once in tens or even hundreds of years. ”

"In just a hundred years, there have been two times in succession, and this Manichaeism is really the first class calamity of my great cadres!"

Xu Jing gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"If this is really the case, Your Majesty can send Jinyi Guard to search near the outskirts of Beijing."

"This man is extremely conceited, and he will certainly not be too far from this place."

"In the past, the place where Cao Gong pursued this person was also near the crime."

Lin Hai remembered a key message, and then spoke.

"Really? If this is the case, this person will be captured and put to death with a thousand knives! ”

Xu Jing's eyes were full of killing intent.

This is the first time Xu Jing hates a person like this, and he can't wait to peel his skin and cramp him to death.

"As long as you track it down, you can probably still find clues."

Lin Hai nodded and agreed.

Xu Jing immediately ordered the eunuch to pass the news to Duke Cao, and instructed him to lead the Jinyi guard straight to the outskirts of Beijing to investigate the matter.

"Your Majesty, there is a person outside the door asking to see you."

After Xu Jing arranged this matter, his spirit eased a little, and he sat on Lin Hai's side and was silent.

After a while, a eunuch walked five steps away from Xu Jing and said cautiously.

"Who?"

Xu Jing frowned slightly, but he remembered that almost all the third- and fourth-grade officials in the capital had moved out of the capital.

There are probably no high-ranking officials here, and if Jing Zhaoyin and the others come, they will definitely not be stopped holding their tokens.

Xu Jing was also a little curious about who came for a while.

"It looks like it's probably a Taoist priest, I don't know if Your Majesty sees it or not?"

The eunuch thought for a moment and remembered the man's appearance.

"Daoist? At the time of the national crisis, there are Taoist priests who dare to come to the East Palace? It seems that he is a bold man again. ”

"Let him in."

Xu Jing didn't have to think about it, and instantly decided that this person must be a warlock in the rivers and lakes, and wanted to take advantage of the plague to get himself an official position.

It just so happened that Xu Jing was angry now, this kind of rat who killed himself, Xu Jing naturally wanted him to have a good operation.

"The Poor Dao Zhichuan Master greets His Majesty."

Soon, a Taoist priest dressed in plain clothes and cloth shoes, wearing a Taoist bun and Lin Hai's age, walked into the East Palace.

"Kamito Watagawa? I don't know where your Excellency comes from? ”

According to Xu Jing's memory, there are many factions among Taoist priests.

Although they belong to the same Taoist priesthood, they are quite different.

"The poor road comes from the Taiping Road, and the ancestor has already driven the crane west to the west of Taoism and has no name."

The Taoist priest bowed slightly, and said slowly.

"What are you doing here?"

Xu Jing heard the word Taiping and was even more disdainful of this Taoist priest.

In his memory, the one who acted in the name of peace was a rebel!

"The poor road passed through the capital, but I saw that the plague was rampant in the capital. Seeing that most of the patients were similar to the diseases in their memories, they came to see the Holy One. ”

】

The Taoist priest seemed to be able to see how inattentive Xu Jing was to himself, and replied 1510.

"You've seen it?"

Xu Jing frowned slightly, not fully believing what this person said.

"Yes, indeed. When the minister wandered away from Yunnan three years ago, he saw such a disease. ”

"Locals call it malaria, and unfortunately within three days of infection, it will be full of pox spots and then rot all over the body."

"If you don't eat water and rice for seven days, if you open the body, you can see that during this period, the organs are ulcerated and swollen, as if soaked in water, and you die."

The Taoist priest told the symptoms he saw in his memory one by one.

And these symptoms really coincide with the autopsy that has already been dissected!

"Is there a way out?"

Xu Jing was overjoyed, quickly got up and held this person's hand and asked again and again.

"Probably there is, but I don't know if there is enough medicine in the capital?"

"If it is enough, I will definitely write out the prescriptions one by one for Your Majesty to treat the people of the city."

The Taoist priest nodded and replied.

"What's your name?"

Xu Jing knew that the identity of this person in front of him might not be simple, so he asked.

"In the Lower Gehong."

The Taoist priest replied here.
