These ministers are all like human beings, how can they be so kind?
Zichan saw it all, and he knew all this very well.
They are not afraid of the spread of the disease, they are clearly afraid that their own interests will be damaged.
After all, once the four gates are reopened, on the one hand, if the disease breaks out again in the city, then there will be a greater chance that they themselves or their tribesmen in Zhengyi will become infected.
On the other hand, if word of Zheng Yi's illness spreads to the countryside, will their fiefdoms be safe? Won't they also suffer losses?
So, to say that these ministers are all thinking about the people in the city? It would be better to say that they all have their own agendas and just follow Gongsun Hei’s words and shout at them.
Moreover, they did not know that this so-called "disease" was not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made disaster.
Therefore, in their minds, the rapid spread of this disease is really too terrifying. It would be good if the high-incidence areas in the west and south of the city could be controlled in time. But once the city gate is opened, pedestrians will flow,
Not sure where to send it.
They may not care about the life and death of others, but when it comes to their own interests, they care more than anyone else.
This is probably their psychological activity at the moment.
Zichan and Hanhu looked at each other without trace, and both shook their heads slightly, with helpless expressions on their faces.
Neither Zichan nor Hanhu could oppose Sihei's proposal on this occasion.
Because Si Hei's topic and his words can be said to be a vivid interpretation of the brilliance of human nature and the nobility of morality. Even people like Zichan and Hanhu cannot find any flaws in it.<
/p>
And all the ministers naturally chose to side with Si Hei for the sake of the present.
If Si Hei's proposal itself is not that important, then the seconding of other ministers requires Han Hu to handle it more carefully.
After all, "there is strength in numbers". This proverb can be used anywhere. For five thousand years in China, this sentence says it all.
Although Han Hu is the noble chief minister of the country, and Zichan is the ruling minister, but in the face of the current one-sided court situation, what they can do is actually very limited.
Just like the current situation, when almost everyone agreed with Sihei's proposal, even though Tahanhu had always supported Zichan, he had to temporarily change his mind at this time.
"Zi Chan, what do you think?"
So he very wisely put this question back to Zichan. After all, Zichan is the minister in power. How to make a decision on this matter will ultimately depend on his opinion.
Hearing the sound, Zichan certainly understood what Hanhu meant.
Since everyone in the court has opinions about continuing to ban the four gates, if he insists on lifting the ban alone, he will naturally offend all the officials in the court.
Han Hu asked him to express his position at this time. In fact, it was to give him a step forward and not to make things stalemate in front of all the ministers.
"Back home, since all the officials think that continuing the ban is the best policy, what else can the overseas Chinese say?"
Nowadays, all the ministers and officials are demanding that the ban be continued. No matter how capable Zichan is, he will not be able to cause such public outrage.
Although Zichan already knew the ins and outs of this situation, he could only go with the flow at the moment.
On the other hand, Si Hei is a person who can't hide things after all. This time he succeeded, and his face full of flesh immediately showed a rather proud look.
His smile gradually grew, his eyes swept over him, and he became even more arrogant.
"In this case, we will not make any changes for the time being. In addition, we also ask Dr. Zichan to do his best to completely control the spread of the disease in the shortest possible time!"
The pressure on Han Hu can also be imagined. This position of being the leader of the country is really not easy to hold.
……
After the court meeting was over, Han Hu privately sent someone to find Zichan again and invited him to come to Han Mansion for a talk. The two sat down in the courtyard of Han Mansion and talked in secret in a low voice:
"Uncle Shi, Tiger is a little worried now. I wonder if Uncle Shi is confident that he can cope with the current situation?"
There was no one around, but the words "Uncle Shi" made the two of them particularly close.
Just because in today's court meeting, Wu Hujian Zichan has been relatively weak today and has not shown the courage to speak out that he has in the past. Therefore, he can't help but feel a little worried about him.
"Thank you Zipi for your concern. The overseas Chinese are fine"
"This matter is still under Qiao's control, please rest assured Zipi."
Of course, Zichan's show of weakness was not without reason. He naturally had his reasons for doing so.
It's just that the time is not ripe yet, so of course he can't say it casually.
Han Hu couldn't help but nodded and said:
"If so, that would be great."
"But... these days, rumors are spreading in the city, which is very detrimental to Uncle Shi. Hu has also sent people to investigate secretly, but unfortunately little has been found."
"Someone must have done this intentionally. Uncle Shi, please be more careful."
Han Hu's keen political sense also allowed Han Hu to quickly realize that this disease may not be as simple as what ordinary people see.
However, due to his status as the leader of the country, he cannot be on the front line. And the current situation is extremely complicated. There are all kinds of intelligence and gossip, which is simply dazzling. Therefore, these all make him seem at a loss.
There is no consensus.
However, his many years of experience in politics told him that the reason why this whole matter is so difficult to investigate must be because there must be another story behind it all.
Therefore, he is also kindly reminding Zichan, hoping that he can take care of everything step by step and not expose any flaws, so as not to let others take advantage of him.
"Well, what Zipi said is absolutely true, and Qiao has always felt this way. Everything needs to be handled with caution."
"Since the ban is continuing, at least on the surface, it is pretty good for the people of Zhengyi. But if someone deliberately stirs up trouble secretly, overseas Chinese should be dealt with strictly."
"It's just..."
At this point, Zichan seemed a little embarrassed and could not continue.
Han Hu waved his hand and said:
"Uncle Shi, it's okay to say it."
When Zichan heard the sound, he sighed:
"It's just that if someone really did this deliberately, then their influence will be very deep in Zheng. Now in Zheng, there are only a handful of people with this kind of influence."
"As the saying goes, a single move can affect the whole body. Even if the matter can be found out by then, I'm afraid it will be difficult to completely uncover the behind-the-scenes. What is the intention of Zipi?"
In fact, both he and Han Hu knew that the so-called malaria was man-made.
But the difficulty is that even if they all understand that this is man-made, they can't bring it to the table to explain it clearly.
This is very similar to what Li Ran experienced in the Lu State. Even though Li Ran and Shusun Bao both knew that the person who assassinated the former crown prince Ji Ye was the Ji family with deep roots in the Lu State, what they could do was still very limited.
The situations Zichan and Hanhu are encountering today are generally similar.
"Sigh... This matter is really difficult to handle..."
Han Hu sighed slightly, but he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
After a while of silence, he suddenly asked:
"By the way, where is Li Ran in the city? Have you told him about this?"
"To be honest, this matter was investigated by him, and he was just in the middle to provide support."
Zichan handed it over and looked a little ashamed.
Han Hu was startled when he heard the sound, and then suddenly said:
"That's it..."
"That being the case, why don't you ask his opinion again, Uncle Shi?"
