Chapter 198 The heaviest punishment
After saying that, Li Shimin waved his hand and said coldly: "There is no need to mention this matter again, give me a pass to enter the palace." β
A few days ago, after receiving the relevant news from Yongzhou City, Li Shimin arranged to organize doctors in Chang'an City to vaccinate the soldiers with vaccinia disease.
At this juncture of turmoil, only by ensuring the strength of the guards can we maintain long-term peace and stability.
And now, the time has come.
Cheng Yanjin soon came to the front of the palace.
Li Shimin ordered the eunuch to hand the written holy decree to Cheng Yanjin, and instructed: "Cheng Zhijie, you now lead 300 soldiers to Yongzhou City, escort all the families of Yongzhou officials, and exile them for 2,000 li and 1,000 li respectively depending on the rank of the official, and never be pardoned." β
The crime of exile was an extremely severe punishment in the Tang Dynasty, arguably the heaviest punishment under the death penalty.
However, Li Shimin wanted to send all the officials and their dependents into exile.
It is conceivable how ruthless Li Shimin's move should be at this time, this is a thorough eradication of the grass.
Just to prevent ill-intentioned people from appearing in the future.
After receiving this order, Cheng Yanjin instantly understood the importance of this matter, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately led his men and horses to Yongzhou City.
On Qin Shou's side, he has been carrying out the affairs of vaccination step by step.
Although some rich people did not cooperate and kept the door closed, they had no choice but to open the door after Qin Shou slammed the door strongly.
As a result, Pingling District, Suxuan District and other urban areas are steadily vaccinating.
Of course, many of them had smallpox, and Qin Shou also sent people to gather in a mansion and ask someone to guard and maintain it to avoid spreading infection.
At the same time, the doctors and Langzhong of the whole city were summoned to inform them of the treatment of smallpox, but it only temporarily alleviated the pain of the patients, and could not achieve real treatment.
In this way, this period is not only smooth.
About 10 days later, most of the vaccination work in Yongzhou urban area has progressed.
Qin Shou estimated that in about ten days, he would be able to return to Chang'an.
On this day, Qin Shou couldn't eat or sleep well, and he was sinned.
All day long, I have to deal with government affairs, take inventory of property, and many other official affairs.
It is inevitable that he will regret it a little, it is too hasty, he should keep these officials and wait until they are done before killing.
Now this situation is to put all the burden on himself, fortunately, with Fan Li with him, he can be regarded as busy.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang."
On this day, Qin Shou easily stole half a day of leisure, and as soon as he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, he heard Liu Cang's hurried voice suddenly outside the door.
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.
Qin Shou helplessly held his forehead and asked, "What's the matter?" Why are you in such a hurry? β
As soon as the words fell, Liu Cang walked in happily carrying two pheasants and a rabbit.
Looks like it was just hunted.
"Lord Wang, didn't you say a few days ago that it was not good to eat here?"
Liu Cang raised the prey in his hand as he spoke, and shook it proudly: "After I finished dealing with the affairs of Pingling District today, I went out of the city to hunt a few wild meats, and I will change the taste for the prince and satisfy your hunger." β
When Qin Shou saw these game, he was stunned at first, and then he was a little moved.
Speaking of which, he just casually mentioned it yesterday, and Liu Cang did it as a serious matter, although he was suspected of flattering, but Qin Shou was not disgusted by it.
"Go clean up, I'll cook for you today."
Qin Shou smiled and waved his hand and said.
"Okay." Liu Cang smiled and walked to the back kitchen with game.
In the mountains three or four miles outside the city of Yongzhou.
The strong man came to Liu Ruyan's residence with a serious face.
"Miss Liu, Yongzhou City is broken."
Liu Ruyan was slightly stunned, and wondered: "Broken?" β
"Yongzhou City has long been closed, how did it break?"
The strong man rarely showed a look of embarrassment, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "It's the prince." β
"The army we met earlier is the army of the king."
"A few days ago, Yongzhou Mansion Yin closed the city gate and turned away the prince, and in a fit of anger, he led the army to break through the gate of Yongzhou."
Set up the prince?
Qin Shou.
The beat of this familiar name called Liu Ruyan's heart missed half a beat, but when he arrived in Yongzhou, he would still hear his name.
But set up the prince's army?
When he left Chang'an, he had never heard of Qin Shou having an army.
But after thinking about it carefully, I don't know much about Qin Shou, which is constantly surprising
What the boy is hiding, I'm afraid no one can guess.
The prince's status is so noble, what are you doing in this poor mountain and remote place? β
Liu Ruyan didn't understand, "And there has been a plague in Yongzhou recently, so he shouldn't come here." β
The owner of the village shook his head and said, "I heard that the prince made a medicine that can resist smallpox, so he came to Yongzhou from Chang'an. β
"But Yongzhou Mansion Yin has always refused to open the door, and in a hurry, the king took the guards to forcibly attack the city."
A vaccine against smallpox?
and forcibly captured the city of Yongzhou.
You must know that according to what the owner of the village said a few days ago, Qin Shou's army was only thirty people.
Only thirty people can capture this fortified Yongzhou city?
It's just a fantasy.
Liu Ruyan was shocked when she heard this, Qiushui's eyes widened slightly, and then asked, "Thirty guards captured Yongzhou City?" β
The owner of the village nodded and affirmed, "Yes, thirty guards." β
Liu Ruyan was stunned, and then looked into the distance.
I don't know what I'm thinking.
After a day and night journey, the army led by Cheng Yanjin finally arrived in Yongzhou City.
The scene of starvation did not appear, on the contrary, although Yongzhou was deserted at this time, it was still popular.
Qin Shou greeted Cheng Yanjin at the Yongzhou official mansion.
"Aha, the prince is really brave and good at fighting." Cheng Yanjin looked rough, and when he saw Qin Shou, he smiled heartily.
"Thirty men will take a city, which can be called unparalleled in the world."
Qin Shou arched his hand and said with a smile: "The general praised it." β
"βThe road is hard to run, so I will arrange for you to rest and eat."
Cheng Biting Jin arched his hand and said, "Then there will be labor." β
As he spoke, Cheng Yanjin pointed to the officials behind him and introduced: "These are the officials of the new faction to take over the affairs of Yongzhou, there is no way, after all, the impulse of the prince has made Yongzhou empty." β
Qin Shou greeted with a smile.
The Iron Eagle Guard had already been dismissed by Qin Shou and was looking for a place to hide.
In the next few days, Qin Shou spent his days idle, except for the related matters related to the handover of Yongzhou.
After all, the new Fu Yin is a capable person selected by the imperial court, so he is more skilled in government affairs than Qin Shou.
As for vaccination, it was taken over by a medical team that came with the army.
In this way, Qin Shou was even more relaxed.
As for the people of Yongzhou, because Cheng Biting Jin came with a holy decree, the people's acceptance of him was higher than that of Qin Shou.
After most of the people in Yongzhou City have received the vaccinia vaccine, the gate of Yongzhou City was officially opened.
