"No, I don't want to die, I have to leave here!" Imperial Physician Yang is going crazy. If he had known this, he would not have come to Tongzhou at all. He would rather die than quit this job. Now that his food and water have been taken away, he will not come to Tongzhou anymore.
If you stay here, you will die sooner or later.
"Brother Yang!" Rong Yuan grabbed the somewhat confused Imperial Physician Yang and shook his head: "Where else can you go now? Didn't you hear what those people just said? I'm afraid they have already sent people to guard the exit, and these
The hearts of the people are so united that there is no way we can break out."
"It won't work this way, and that won't work either. Do we really have to wait to die like this?" Dr. Yang screamed at the top of his lungs, with a crazy expression. He kept mumbling something, and the other doctors also had trembling lips and yelling.
I don't want to die.
"Everyone, calm down." Rong Yuan knew that it was useless to say anything about provocation. The most important thing was to solve the current predicament. He said loudly: "They did this because they were cornered. As long as we can treat them,
The plague will be fine."
"How to save!" Dr. Li yelled with a ferocious face, "If this continues, sooner or later we will also be infected with the plague. Look at those people, their skin is ulcerated, and they don't look like humans or ghosts. I
Never be like them, I want to leave! Get out of here!"
After that, he refused to listen to Rong Yuan's advice and ran away. After him, several people ran after him. They were on the verge of collapse and just wanted to leave this ghost place as quickly as possible and did not want to stay for a moment longer.
However, what happened was as Rong Yuan expected. They were beaten back as soon as they left the yard. Those victims who were not sick stood at the door with frowns and did not allow them to leave. At this moment, they were like wild beasts trapped in a cage.
, no freedom, no day.
The only thing that can be done is to hope that the court will send troops to rescue them quickly, otherwise those vicious victims will go crazy and really kill them.
At dusk, tired birds return to their nests, the sun sets, and there is a heavy twilight between the sky and the earth.
In the south study room, Yinzhen was approving the disaster relief reports submitted by various provinces, states and counties. In addition to the first one hundred thousand taels, the imperial court allocated another million taels of silver, all of which were used for disaster relief. In this way, except for a few
Except for a few prefectures and counties, the situation in other places is generally under control.
"Your Majesty!" Li Dequan walked in silently and bowed: "There is news from Tongzhou."
Yinzhen said without raising his head: "Bring the memorial here." After waiting for a while and seeing that Li Dequan didn't move, he raised his head in displeasure and said, "Where is the memorial?"
Li Dequan said in a low voice: "It was Imperial Physician Yang who sent someone to report to the Emperor. There are only soldiers who reported the news, but no information. The soldier is waiting outside the palace at the moment. Does the Emperor want to be summoned?"
Yinzhen frowned slightly and thought to himself that Doctor Yang was so ignorant that he wanted to report it, so why didn't he even write a note? Even though he was in Tongzhou, he didn't say that he was short of paper and pen. He thought for a while and said: "Tell him
Come in."
The soldier who came to report the news was named Ding Mingfu, but he was just a low-ranking soldier. He never even dreamed in his life that he would one day walk in the palace. Along the way, he walked up to the palaces and buildings, which were scattered high and low, and even the red walls and yellow tiles.
Painting buildings and carving beams, unless the situation was urgent, he had to take his time to look at it.
Li Dequan took Ding Fu into the south study room, motioned Ding Fu to kneel down, and then said to Yinzhen, who was still reading the memorial: "Hou Zhi, Ding Fu brings it."
Yinzhen hummed softly, put down his ink pen and looked at the frightened Ding Fu and said, "Are you Ding Fu? Doctor Yang ordered you to come see me, but what happened in Tongzhou?"
Speaking of Tongzhou, Ding Fu's face suddenly turned pale, and he said anxiously: "I'm going back to the emperor, Tongzhou... There was a civil riot in Tongzhou. The victims gathered to make trouble and rushed into the courtyard where Imperial Physician Yang and Imperial Physician Xu lived to snatch water and food. What's going on?
It’s hard to control, so Doctor Yang asked the court to send troops to suppress it quickly, otherwise I’m afraid things will get worse and worse!”
Hearing that the victims were making trouble, Yinzhen's face suddenly darkened, and he ordered Ding Fu to explain the situation in detail, including the number of victims. After he finished speaking one by one, he added: "In the matter of the plague, the two imperial doctors and several
Does the doctor have a way to save me?"
Ding Fu hurriedly said: "When I returned to the emperor, Imperial Physician Yang said that this plague was so weird and ferocious that he, Imperial Physician Xu and others were helpless."
"So, it's impossible to save?" Yinzhen asked coldly.
Ding Fu heard that his words were not good, but even after asking, he had to bite the bullet and answer, "This is what Imperial Physician Yang said when I returned to the emperor. He also said that if they stay any longer, they will also be infected with the plague."
"Hmph! A bunch of useless things!" Yinzhen snorted coldly. After signaling Laifu to step back, he looked at Li Dequan and said, "When did the disaster relief vehicles and horses set out for Tongzhou?"
Li De was a chamberlain around Yinzhen, so he had to remember everything. He thought for a moment and said: "I set off four days ago to go back to the emperor. I was supposed to arrive yesterday, but the road to Tongzhou was not smooth.
Although it has been cleared, it is still possible for people to move around. It will be a bit troublesome to transport the large trucks carrying water and food. I estimate that they will be able to arrive in the future."
Yinzhen stroked his forehead and closed his eyes in silence. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. Li Dequan did not dare to disturb him and waited quietly until there was a knock on the door outside. He was overjoyed and asked if the queen had arrived. Can he come in.
Yinzhen also heard Sixi's words. Before Li Dequan could speak, Yinzhen said: "Let her come in."
Nala walked in slowly, with sardonyx beads hanging from her temples and hanging down to her ears. They were very dazzling under the setting sun behind her, making the fine lines around her lips less obvious against her eyes.
After Nala came in, she calmly bowed and said in a low voice: "My concubine has cooked some light side dishes for the emperor today. The emperor will try them to see if they suit his taste." Without her instructions, the palace servants who came in immediately brought them to the palace.
The dishes in the food box are taken out and placed on the square table.
It was Ling Ruo who was doing this. Later, when Yinzhen learned about her affair with Rong Yuan, he got angry and scolded her. Although he didn't deal with it, he didn't want to see her again.
"You came here early today." Yinzhen stood up and walked down slowly. He was tired after approving the papers for so long. In addition, plus what Ding Fu said just now, he didn't have any intention to read anymore for a while.
"I, my concubine, are going to learn how to make a stewed turtle with rock sugar today. Would you like to try it first, Your Majesty?" Nala said as he handed over a spoon with a silver handle inlaid with white jade.
Yinzhen did not bother her, he took a spoonful and tasted it and said: "It tastes good, but there is a little too much rock sugar, which makes it a bit too sweet."
"I will put less food next time." Nala smiled slightly and filled a bowl of rice, "When I came in just now, I saw a man dressed as a soldier going out from a distance, but he came to see the emperor?"
