The first year of Zhenguan, the first day of the new year.

Li Shimin's era name had just been activated, and dozens of smallpox patients suddenly appeared near and outside Chang'an City.

Moreover, the situation is spreading, and in just one day, the number of smallpox patients has increased to more than 100.

In the beginning, there were doctors who treated these patients, but as the number of patients increased, and they were diagnosed with smallpox.

Anyone who contracted smallpox was thrown into a dead end.

At the entrance of the cul-de-sac, there are guards, and as long as those smallpox patients want to escape, they will be hacked and killed immediately.

For those who are sick, they have been abandoned and can only wait to die.

Smallpox began to rage near Chang'an City, and Li Shimin hadn't closed his eyes for several nights.

In the palace, a group of ministers stood in the imperial study.

"How can it be like this, how can it be like this?" Li Shimin's expression was ugly, he was a little desperate, he had just used Zhenguan's year name, but the smallpox that had not been encountered in a hundred years came, did God deliberately go against him?

The wind outside was still blowing, and the imperial study originally had a warm ondol, but now it has stopped, so everyone standing inside feels cold and biting.

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at everyone and said, "Shengshang, the minister has already ordered people to search for smallpox patients everywhere, as long as all the smallpox patients are found, and then killed and burned, the spread of smallpox can be stopped, and the saint doesn't have to worry too much." ”

In the face of this situation, it is not possible to be ruthless, since those patients with smallpox are as terrible as the plague, then they can only be killed.

Killing them will prevent more people from contracting smallpox.

It's ruthless, but it's the only thing they can do right now.

After hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin suddenly raised his head: "Killed? ”

He was a little shocked, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart, he just killed people like this, he really couldn't bear it, it was just ordinary people, just because they were sick, they killed them?

"Holy Lord, I have no choice but to kill."

The eldest grandson Wuji's tone did not mean the slightest emotion, he knew that as long as he had a little maneuver, Li Shimin might not be able to make up his mind.

In order to prevent smallpox from raging, it can only be cold, cold-blooded, and cold-hearted.

Li Shimin's eyes were a little dazed, and after a long time, he finally asked, "When will Doctor Sun come back?" ”

Sun Simiao is a miracle doctor, maybe he can cure this disease.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Doctor Sun has already sent someone to invite, at least three or four days." ”

Three or four days is not a short time, Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then wait for another three or four days, all those who carry smallpox will be sent to Dead Man's Alley." ”

In order to prevent the spread of smallpox, the only way to do this was to lock up people who had smallpox, but Li Shimin had some hope in his heart, hoping that Sun Simiao could cure this disease.

Otherwise, it's really hard to say how your Datang is going.

After all, smallpox has never been rampant, it is not as simple as killing hundreds of people, now there are many people who have smallpox, and near Chang'an City, I don't know how many people have had smallpox and have not yet attacked, if it has been raging like this, will they continue to kill?

Kill a thousand people, and he, Li Shimin, will be scolded by the world.

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji and the others couldn't say much, so they could only follow what he told and just wait for Sun Simiao's arrival.

Zhao Wangfu.

Because of his dedication to clairvoyance, coupled with Li Yuanjing's loyalty to Li Shimin, Li Yuanjing has gradually been reused.

The ravages of smallpox made Li Yuanjing stay in the house now, and he didn't dare to go out easily.

However, the smallpox epidemic caused panic in the capital, but Li Yuanjing suddenly came up with a plan.

As soon as Li Shimin used his era name, something like this happened in Datang, can it be said that God is punishing Li Shimin?

Although Li Shimin named his name Zhenguan, his throne was not right, and God wanted to punish him.

As soon as he thought of it, Li Yuanjing immediately ordered: "Someone is coming, ......"

The spread of rhetoric is even worse than smallpox.

When Li Yuanjing gave the order, at dusk that day, some remarks in the capital had already begun to spread.

"Today's saint, the throne is not right, God is punishing him."

"It's a pity that it has suffered us people."

"Alas, the Holy One is really harmful, I think, we should invite the Emperor Taishang out, when the Emperor Taishang was in power, there was no disaster in the capital, don't you say?"

"That's right, that's right, we're going to invite the Emperor Taishang out, and we're going to restore the Emperor Taishang......"

Because of the disaster such as smallpox that broke out just after the change of Zhenguan era name, coupled with Li Yuanjing's operation, the call for Li Yuan's restoration soon spread in Chang'an City, and it became louder and louder.

Early the next morning, in Chang'an City, Suzaku Street, and in front of the palace, a lot of people gathered.

"Please restore the Emperor, please restore the Emperor ......"

"The Holy Emperor is not in the right position, the punishment of heaven has been down, please restore the Emperor Taishang......"

“…………”

In front of the palace, more and more people gathered, and as the number of people increased, these people became more and more daring to speak, and they shouted loudly what they could only say in private before.

Li Shimin's improper position has always been a taboo in the Tang Dynasty, but because of the panic caused by smallpox, they don't even care about this taboo now.

With so many people, did Li Shimin dare to kill them all?

The screams continued, and in front of the palace gate, a group of pro-soldiers with swords intercepted, as long as these people wanted to rush into the palace, they dared to kill, this is their duty.

The people gradually became angry and emotional.

The threat of death hangs overhead, making them forget more about the danger.

These circumstances were soon spread to the Zhao Wangfu.

After Li Yuanjing heard that many people had begun to force Li Shimin to abdicate and give up the throne to Li Yuan, Li Yuanjing showed a slight smile.

He knew that with Li Shimin's temperament, he was afraid that it would be impossible to give up the throne in his hands again, but such chaos among the people would add some pressure to Li Shimin.

Moreover, if the news of the restoration of his father Emperor Li Yuan spread, the other vassal kings would not let go of this opportunity.

As long as those vassal kings hear the news and come to support and let Li Yuan restore, maybe this Tang Dynasty will really have some different directions.

Today's Li Yuanjing needs the Tang Dynasty to be chaotic, otherwise if the world is governed by Li Shimin in an orderly manner, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and other vassal states are submitted, then what strength does he have to compete for this throne?

This time, he wanted to see how Li Shimin solved this problem, and he felt that no one could save Li Shimin.
