Chapter 297: The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics

After leaving the temporary camp, Lu Chen and Jiang Chengwan went to Xipingfang non-stop.

There is no doubt about the horror of the blood epidemic, once it is infected, in the cognition of the vast majority of people, it is almost certain to die, but the specific symptoms, Lu Chen has only seen in the book, although there are special officials and medical officials to explain, but after all, you still have to see it with your own eyes before you can make a judgment.

See if there's a way to treat someone who is sick.

Let's see if this plague aura is really unsolvable.

And the reason for this is not to deliberately go to the most dangerous places to die.

At least for now, he didn't have the intention of deliberately dying and ascending to immortality.

At this time, he simply wanted to save as many people as possible, nothing more.

On the way, Jiang Chengdao followed behind the two of them, silently watching the monarchs and ministers who were almost walking side by side.

After a while, he suddenly walked up to Lu Chen's side, and said in a ghostly manner: "Lu Shangshu, this king suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask you for advice. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly paused his thoughts, and then said very politely: "Don't dare to ask for advice, His Royal Highness the Holy King has any advice, but it doesn't hurt." ”

Jiang Chengwan slowed down, turned his head at the same time, and looked at Jiang Chengdao with a puzzled expression.

In the puzzled eyes of the two, Jiang Chengdao thought for a moment, as if he was organizing language.

After a few moments, he spoke slowly.

"Lu Shangshu, I don't know what you think about the harem's participation in politics?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen didn't react yet, but Jiang Chengwan felt a pang in his heart, and then quietly hid his truest appearance, as always, on the surface, he didn't see the slightest abnormality.

After all, she is an existence that can endure under the nose of Empress Dowager Zhao for six years without arousing any suspicion, whether it is scheming or the city government, she is extremely good, and the management of her expression has already reached the point of perfection, as long as she is alert, almost no one can see what she is thinking.

And when Jiang Chengdao said this, he secretly noticed the change in Jiang Chengwan's expression, with the perception of the Saint King level, as long as she had the slightest abnormality, she would definitely not be able to escape his eyes.

However, he still didn't see any change in Jiang Chengwan's mood.

I saw that she looked like she didn't know what to do, tilted her head, and looked at Jiang Chengdao.

"Why did the Holy King suddenly ask this?"

Lu Chen was also a little curious.

"Could it be that the Holy Princess is extremely talented, and His Royal Highness the Holy King wants her to assist in handling the government affairs of the Cangming Realm?"

To be honest, he, like the vast majority of people, actually didn't have much concept of the Cangming Realm, only knew that the Cangming Realm had extremely powerful combat power, and he was transcendent, but due to some kind of restriction, the top combat power of the four holy realms would not leave the holy realm easily, nothing more.

As for the Cangming Saint King, he really didn't know if he had a holy princess, whether he had a side concubine, let alone what kind of person the holy princess was.

Cangming Saint King didn't mention it, and he didn't bother to ask, after all, he was not interested in these things, so he would only ask when he mentioned it.

Jiang Chengdao's eyes shook slightly.

"It's not, this king hasn't married a wife yet, and in the holy realm, there is no ancestral system in which the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and among the holy kings of the past dynasties, there are also many precedents for husbands and wives to take charge of state affairs together, so."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "This king doesn't really understand why Great Xia is so shy of people in the harem, and I want to ask Lu Shangshu's opinion on this, so as to make a reference and see if the Holy Realm needs to implement this system." ”

"I see."

Lu Chen nodded, indicating understanding.

After all, the Holy King is the lord of a country, and it is normal to be interested in these.

However, in the depths of Jiang Chengwan's eyes, an imperceptible subtle color quietly flashed.

The dignified five princes, who have received an orthodox royal education, and have participated in the battle for succession, do not understand that the harem cannot interfere in politics?

Is this possible?

However, although she noticed something, Jiang Chengwan still had no different face, just looked at Lu Chen with a calm gaze.

Under the gaze of the two brothers and sisters, Lu Chen thought for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and gave his own answer: "Although many of the ancestral systems formulated by Emperor Taizu Hongwu when he founded the country thousands of years ago are no longer suitable for today's Great Xia, which seriously restricts or even drags down the development of Great Xia, such as the ban on the sea, such as the gentry not paying taxes, etc., but the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but it is one of the few good governance that must always be adhered to. ”

"This is an example."

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Jiang Chengdao couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Jiang Chengwan's face was still not the slightest different.

Later, Lu Chen successively cited the dangers of harem politics and the lessons of the past, and explained the reason why Taizu set this rule back then.

Jiang Chengdao nodded again and again when he heard this, but secretly he kept looking at his sister's reaction.

The results are clear.

Placid.

After a moment, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that I am thinking too much.

"Of course."

Lu Chen, who didn't realize anything, added: "Governance should be adapted to local conditions, formulate appropriate decrees based on the actual situation, and follow up at all times, if there are deviations and inappropriate places, they must be adjusted immediately, check and fill in the gaps, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics is the rule set by Emperor Taizu according to the national conditions of Great Xia, and it is not necessarily suitable for the holy realm, maybe the two saints are in the same dynasty is more in line with the national conditions of the holy realm, and His Royal Highness the Holy King must also carefully consider it, and must not be rigid." ”

Jiang Chengdao savored these words carefully.

After a moment, he suddenly solemnly arched his hand towards Lu Chen.

"What Lu Shangshu said is reasonable, and this king has been taught."

The ancestral system itself of the harem not being allowed to interfere in politics actually had no effect on him, he completely understood the logic behind this rule when he was the prince, but Lu Chen's understanding of governance gave him a new understanding.

"His Royal Highness the Holy King is gracious."

As this sentence fell, this inexplicable episode passed.

As he spoke, the sound of horses' hooves slowed down.

The three of them soon came to Xipingfang.

The Xuanji Guard, who was waiting at the door, naturally recognized them, and after respectfully saluting, he let them go directly.

Xipingfang is located in the southwest corner of Xiping County, which is the farthest area from the bustling area of the core of the county, and has always been a slum in the county.

After the days were better, many of the people who originally lived here moved away, so Xiao Yun moved all the remaining people in Xipingfang, and then set up this place as a disposal point for the blood epidemic.

In addition to the barely renovated houses, there are wards built with Qingningwei's tents just like the temporary camp.

However, the atmosphere here is noticeably much more solemn than in the makeshift camp.

On the road, you can occasionally see a military doctor with a medicine box on his back, and around each ward, there are at least five array mages maintaining the magic circle, and in the ward, from time to time, there is a scream, and one after another violent coughing sound.

The pungent smell of purple orchid pollen, which can inhibit the spread of the epidemic to a certain extent, is in the air, and people instinctively feel a little uncomfortable.

Lu Chen took a deep breath, and then walked into the nearest house.

On the hospital bed inside, an ordinary peasant woman with a pale face was lying at this time.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!!"

Before he could get closer, the peasant woman suddenly coughed violently, and she coughed into the phlegm by the window, revealing a strange dark red.

The healer who was cooking medicine on the side didn't notice the person behind him, and when he saw this scene, his face changed suddenly, and he almost instinctively wanted to leave.

But as soon as he got up, he suddenly thought of something, and after a struggle flashed on his face, he gritted his teeth, picked up the boiled pottion, and walked to the peasant woman.

"Auntie, come, drink this medicine."

His body was surrounded by spiritual shields, and his body was also covered with a layer of spiritual armor, but even so, it could not ensure that he was 100% isolated from the plague, and once he was infected, even a cultivator would not be able to escape the erosion of the blood plague.

However, in the face of the threat of the blood epidemic, as a member of Qingningwei, he still did not flinch after all.

Looking at the decoction handed over in front of her, the peasant woman was inexplicably moved.

People infected with blood epidemics, especially ordinary people, are basically certain to die, and they will also endanger others, at this time, even their own children will not necessarily wait at the bedside, let alone outsiders?

But this young man in his early twenties has been staying in such a dangerous place, taking care of ordinary people like her, who can no longer be ordinary, and there is no way to have anything in return.

With such grace, how could she not be moved?

"You're a good guy, young man."

She reluctantly opened her mouth and said with great difficulty: "Auntie can't survive this blood epidemic, don't waste your efforts if you can't save it, hurry up and leave here so as not to be dragged down by Auntie, if you are also infected with this evil disease, Auntie Auntie, I will not be at ease in the next life."

When the healer heard this, he shook his head decisively.

"Your Excellency the Governor has said, we who are soldiers must drink water and think of the source, and we must not forget our roots, if the people are in trouble, how can we retreat?"

As he spoke, he took the decoction forward, and at the same time stretched out his other hand and scooped a spoonful to the peasant woman's mouth.

"Auntie, don't think about it, these are what I and other Great Xia soldiers should do, and the military orders are like a mountain, and I am just following orders, just like fighting a war, how can I escape from the battle?"

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and added, "Oh, Lord Governor is Grandpa Lu." ”

Hearing this, tears immediately flowed from the peasant woman's face.

As a native of Xingping County, how could she not know the famous Grandpa Lu.

No wonder this young man is so attentive to them as ordinary people, it turns out that Grandpa Lu brought it out.

"It's all good people and good officials. Auntie, I have lived for decades, and I finally saw a good world, but it's a pity"

By the end, her eyes gradually dimmed.

A moment later, her eyes were closed, and her body slowly fell to the side. (End of chapter)
