Chapter 780
A few days later, the mighty cavalry returned to Liangzhou City from the mountains. Horseshoes were thundering all the way. Many soldiers' horses were loaded with pheasants, hares and other items. The harvest was quite rich, and there was even a carriage on the horseback.
He was also pulling a wild boar, which was the prey hunted by Chen Yue and Xue Tian together.
Zhou Chengxuan was grinning from ear to ear along the way. He shot two hares with his own hands during this hunt. This sense of accomplishment was unprecedented in the capital.
On a whim, he rewarded the soldiers with a wave of his hand. Even the two rabbits he had killed were given to Shangguan Taiqing and Chenyue to show the emperor's great kindness.
"Bianguan is really a nice place. I will come here often in the future." Zhou Chengxuan said happily on horseback.
Chen Yue's face darkened, thinking that if you come here a few more times, the little money in Liangzhou's treasury will be wiped out.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if people don’t come. As for this reward, the more the merrier.
Just when everyone reached the gate of the camp, Xue Chengyi, with a serious face, hurriedly came out and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report!"
Zhou Chengxuan was stunned. What urgent report could there be at this time? Could it be that Yan Bing detained the enemy?
"Master Xue, what happened?" Chen Yue asked calmly. He knew that it was impossible for the Yan army to invade the border. Otherwise, he, the Liang King, must have received the first-hand news.
Xue Chengyi, who was in charge of the camp, took out a letter from his arms and said: "I received an urgent report from the capital this morning that an outbreak of plague broke out in Anshan County, Tai'an Road, and has spread to several surrounding counties. No less than a thousand people have died. The current epidemic situation
It’s on the verge of spreading.”
"What? Plague?" Zhou Chengxuan was stunned. With the help of his guards, he got off his horse and waved his hand: "Quickly enter the camp to discuss matters!"
"promise!"
Chen Yue and Xue Chengyi looked at each other with a questioning look in their eyes. Xue Chengyi shook his head slightly. Chen Yue instantly understood that the situation was not optimistic and was probably even worse than what Xue Chengyi said.
…
In the imperial tent, many officials of third rank and above arrived, including Yuwen Xingchen, who had lost face in front of Chenyue.
Not sure whether it was shame or resentment, Yuwen Xingchen huddled in the corner uncharacteristically, keeping silent. He did not sit in a conspicuous position and talk as usual.
Zhou Chengxuan's eyes quickly swept over the briefing, and his eyes became more and more horrified. After reading the letter, Zhou Chengxuan handed the letter to Chen Yue and Shangguan Taiqing.
Chenyue was surprised when he read the letter. It turned out that the plague had been discovered in Anshan County as early as the beginning of the year. As a result, the governor of Anshan County did not take it seriously and allowed it to develop, and the plague quickly spread to the entire Tai'an Road.
When Tai'an Dao Jingluo discovered the illness, the number of people infected was very large, but he was afraid of being punished by the court, so he suppressed the news and sent people to control the injured patients, hoping to prevent the disease from killing a large number of people.
The matter was concealed.
However, Tai'an Road is located to the south of the Canglong River. Although it is not as prosperous as Qingyang and Qingyang, it is still an economically prosperous place with many merchants, horse teams and dense crowds. As time went by over the past few months, the plague has spread to the surrounding areas.
There are several Taoist houses in the country.
"Asshole!"
Chen Yue shouted softly: "How dare you hide such an important matter from Your Majesty? Isn't this a disregard for human life?"
Chen Yue also worked his way up from a low-level soldier step by step, and he was well-versed in officialdom. The statistics in the letter were that more than a thousand people had died due to illness, but the actual number was probably more than ten times that. The officials at the bottom were responsible for concealing the report.
The best trick.
"Liang Wang, Master Shangguan, Master Xue, what should you see about this?" Zhou Chengxuan asked a little anxiously to several ministers.
The emperor only looked at the way of governing the country in the book on weekdays. How could there be a real governance experience? The sudden plague made him a mess, and the good mood of the hunting just disappeared.
"His Majesty, at this time, the first priority should be to return to Beijing. His Majesty is sitting in the Beijing Division to allocate the manpower and material resources of each county and county to resist the plague." Shangguan Taiqing bowed.
Shangguan Taiqing knew that once the natural disaster of the plague appeared, it would not end in a short period of time. While the plague had not spread to Jiangbei, he would hurry back to Beijing, otherwise it may be trapped in Beiliang Road.
"Back to Beijing? Is it back now?" Zhou Chengxuan was a little reluctant. To be honest, he hadn't played enough.
"His Majesty, what Master Shangguan said is extremely, at this moment, returning to Beijing to sit in the town is the best policy." Xue Chengyi stood up and supported Shangguan Taiqing without hesitation this time: "In addition, the six parts should be ordered
Raising the disaster relief supplies to the seriously disaster -stricken place and treating injuries. For officials who concealed the condition on the Tai'an Road, they should immediately dismiss their duties and enter the prison in order to warn the civil and military officials.
Chen Yue and the Minister also spoke.
Yu Wenxing in the corner was sneer. Although the plague was beyond his expectations, it was not a big deal. Anyway, there were some flat -headed people.
"Well, since all the love Qing said so, then passed on, two days later, the sacred driver set off and returned to the Beijing master!" Zhou Chengxuan finally nodded.
"promise!"
"Liang Wang, the border's affairs are handed over to you all right, don't let up your hope."
"Nuo!" Chen Yue bowed his head to drink.
Nympho
Two days passed, and the entire camp was messy, and I was packing my luggage everywhere to prepare for the start.
And the day before the Holy driver returned to Beijing, Chen Yue found Zhou Yanfeng alone.
"What is the so -called thing here?" Zhou Yanfeng was surprised. She did not expect that Chen Yue would come off for herself.
"Cough." Chen Yue's face was a little embarrassed to pull out a pill in front of Zhou Yifeng in front of Zhou Yifeng: "This is the princess who asked me to give His Royal Highness Princess, which can resist the cold and enhance some physique."
Zhou Yanfeng's face flushed suddenly. This is obviously that Ma Linger knew Zhou Yifeng's heart. Sending medicine was just a reason, so that Chen Yue came to himself.
"Well ~"
Zhou Yanfeng sighed and took the medicine bag and whispered: "The princess is generous, the eyes of Liang Wang are really good."
There are many emotions, envy, admiration, appreciation, and the faint jealousy in the tone of Zhou Yifeng.
Chen Yue scratched his head: "I grew up together, how can I see the wrong person."
"Envy." Zhou Yanfeng smiled softly: "If I didn't be born in this royal family."
Chen Yue's heart trembled and bowed slightly: "His Royal Highness His Royal Highness takes care, the plague is not playing in trouble, don't run out of the palace secretly after arriving in Beijing, not safe."
"Well ~"
The care of Chen Yue finally made Zhou Yanfeng happy: "Liang Wang still said something he said, not the old ancient board."
"His Royal Highness of the Princess laughed."
"Wang Ye also took care of it himself, and he had to do some precautions. Will the plague spread to the north and no one said." Zhou Yanfeng said a little seriously.
"knew."
"It will be on the future." Zhou Yanfeng's eyes turned, Yan Ran smiled.
