"That's enough!" Old Madam Ma scolded with a cold face, "What time has it been? Why are you arguing? Do you think the Ma family is going to be over? What will happen to you?"
"That's what I said, but old lady, we didn't let the smallpox spread this time, and Jicheng didn't ask our opinions when he did what he did..." Mrs. Ma Er simply broke the jar and said, "I
"I'm so angry, I'm going to get angry" and said, "I have to ask, how could he be so bold that he dares to touch the smallpox? That's smallpox. If you get it, you can't live with it...
…Oh my god, we are all in Yunyang City, and he brought smallpox to Yunyang City, isn’t this going to cost us our lives?”
Many of the female relatives in the hall turned pale and started to tremble.
"Old...Old lady, is this true? Smallpox, is it really Jicheng..."
"This is too scary! How can you touch the smallpox?!"
"One of my relatives on my mother's side had experienced smallpox and escaped. According to him, after the smallpox broke out in their place, all ten houses were empty and almost no one could survive." An aunt squeezed her hands.
He was frightened and said tremblingly, "Not only is smallpox terrible, it is said...it is said that if you run away too late and are caught by the officials, the village will be burned directly."
"Really?! Then... what about our Yunyang City? Oh my god, no wonder the government has suddenly imposed a martial law these days and no one can enter or leave Yunyang City. Isn't it because of this?!"
…
Another person cried "Wow" to express that she didn't want to be burned to death, and she was still scared.
When she cried, several young girls shed tears and cried "whimpering".
At first, Mrs. Ma was given a few girls to marry with, and she encouraged her sons to take concubines and have girls. Fortunately, she had many sons, including legitimate sons and concubines, and each of them could give birth to several girls for her. The Ma family was most in need.
It's the girl.
Every girl is raised well and then used for marriage. Although not all of them can marry well and play a very good role, as long as there are a few, the Ma family can take advantage of it.
, this is the path to the rise of the Yunyang Ma family.
But now, when something happens to the Ma family, all the girls in the house start crying, which is indeed a headache.
Not to mention what happened to the Ma family, I just said that after the special envoy left the Ma family, he got into a carriage and drove directly towards the gate of Yunyang City.
Before he even got close, the coachman's expression changed and he hurriedly rushed into the carriage and said, "Father, it's bad, there are people from the Jiang family's army at the gate of the city."
"What?!" The special envoy's face changed slightly. He quickly opened the curtain and looked towards the city gate not far away. Sure enough, he saw the flag of the Jiang family.
When he entered, he relied on the Ma family's route in Yunyang City, bribed the soldiers guarding the city gate, and then sneaked into Yunyang City while the city gate was under martial law. However, the special envoy did not expect that General Jiang would react like this.
Quickly, before he could enter or leave the city, he sent people to guard the city gate.
He frowned slightly and wondered: Could it be that someone discovered the whereabouts of the Za family?
--impossible!
——The Zajia are so careful, how could they be discovered?
No matter what the special envoy guessed, he did not dare to approach the city gate at this time. He asked the groom not to show any flaws, turn in one direction, and drive to another place.
"Yes, father-in-law."
The coachman responded and drove the carriage in another direction.
The special envoy really thought too much. Jiang Yi never found out that anyone was secretly letting people in and out. The reason why he sent his own people to garrison was because of the arrival of the eldest prince Li Jian.
At this time, the news of "smallpox" in Yunyang City had not yet spread, and only a few people knew about it.
Jiang Yizheng was worried about She Hongwen who was already in prison. Unexpectedly, there was no movement at She Hongwen's side, and Emperor Mingguang sent the eldest prince and others over again.
Jiang Yi was almost scared to death, and quickly sent people to guard the gate of Yunyang City, fearing that the eldest prince would not know the importance of the matter and lead his people in.
Jiang Yi overthought, and Li Jian was really not as stupid as he thought. He ran to Yunyang City even though he knew there was smallpox in Yunyang City. He only found out when he arrived outside Yunyang City and sent someone to contact Jiang Yi in advance.
Knowing this, Li Jian didn't need to put himself in trouble. The officials accompanying him immediately admonished him: "My eldest prince, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. What's more, you have a precious body, gold and life, how can you take such a risk?
I sincerely request the eldest prince to station himself outside Yunyang City. Firstly, I can keep you safe, and secondly, I can stabilize the morale of the army and share the hardships with the people of Yunyang City..."
Balabala, said a lot of nice things.
Anyway, the general idea is that you are the eldest prince and have the third right of divine power. How can a person like you put your noble foot on your humble body and take such risks?
The ministers know that you have important matters, so they do not force the eldest prince to leave. It is better to station outside Yunyang City. Firstly, you can be protected. Secondly, the people of Yunyang City know that you are outside the city, so they can stay at ease.
In Yunyang City, only in this way can we feel at ease and arrange how Yunyang City will overcome the smallpox crisis.
This time, in addition to his maternal cousin Xuan Hejun, the eldest prince was accompanied by Zhou Ye, the Minister of Household Affairs sent by Emperor Mingguang, and several imperial doctors from the imperial hospital.
Zhou Ye has been an official for twenty years and has experienced all kinds of things. He didn't expect that he would be "cheated" by Emperor Mingguang this time. He was vomiting blood in his heart.
He just said that the kind-hearted Emperor Mingguang ordered him to go out of the capital with the eldest prince, and he also brought several imperial doctors with him. It was a bit strange, but they turned out to be waiting for him here.
Why is the eldest prince frail? He is afraid that the eldest prince may have setbacks on his journey, so he brings the royal doctor with him to prevent accidents...
Is this called "preventing accidents"?
Are you sure you are not guarding against smallpox in Yunyang City?!
How long is the distance from the capital to Yunyang City? Unless you suddenly get seriously ill, usually if you have a headache or a fever, you can get treatment even if you return to the capital, right?
He brought imperial doctors, medicinal materials, and troops...
It wasn't until he was stopped outside Yunyang City by Jiang Jiajun's men that Zhou Ye had the opportunity to open the "tip bag" given to him by His Majesty. When he saw what was written on it, the whole place fell into silence.
Fortunately, Emperor Mingguang did not force him to go in and die, but only asked him to "act cheaply", otherwise he would really have to consider resigning when he returns.
But think about it, Emperor Mingguang is willing to let go of the eldest prince, why shouldn't he let them die?
Although he could not enter Yunyang City, Zhou Ye still sent someone to send a message and met with Jiang Yi, the general of the town army.
Of course, considering the smallpox problem, they did not drink tea as usual. Instead, they followed the doctor's instructions and found an open place. They retreated to the left and right, and then they separated some distance and talked through the air.
The general of the Zhenjun Army was a rough man. He might not have many twists and turns, but he was not stupid either. What's more, he had She Hongwen, the young minister of Dali Temple, acting as a strategist behind him. He communicated with Zhou Ye, the Minister of Household Affairs, and it turned out that
Also easy.
To be precise, it was easier for Zhou Ye, because She Hongwen knew what information he wanted to know, had it all sorted out, and asked Jiang Yi to send the message directly.
Jiang Yi took the list written by She Hongwen and read it to Zhou Ye bit by bit.
If Zhou Ye has anything that he doesn't understand, he can interrupt and ask, and Jiang Yi can still continue along the list.
