"John Tang, you mean that a large number of people in the capital have been infected with the plague now......"

Chongzhen gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice.

Tang Ruowang hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied: "Your Majesty, it is true that many people in the capital are infected with the epidemic now, and the minister is not proficient in medical skills, so he does not dare to conclude that it is the plague, but it is indeed an epidemic that can be transmitted......

"Chen, acting! What else do you have to say! ”

Chongzhen roared.

Chen Yan's face was pale, he couldn't say a word, and if he wanted to be hard topped, it would be difficult to predict what would happen to him.

"Your Majesty, the concerts sent by local states and counties are just an understatement of the epidemic, and the minister thinks there is nothing ......"

Chen Yan replied astringently.

"To put it mildly? Are your eyes out of breath? Wouldn't you go to the streets of the capital to have a look? Sitting in the yamen of the household, you naturally don't know what a fart! ”

Chongzhen roared, "Zhu Jie, tell him what kind of disaster a massive plague will bring to the capital!" Insensitive, you are simply insensitive! ”

Zhu Jie looked at Chen Yan with pity, and replied: "Lord Chen, you are careless this time, the plague, once the plague breaks out in the capital, then the entire Beijing city, at least two or three hundred thousand people will die, and the death of millions of people in the entire Gyeonggi area is just an ordinary thing, at that time, Gyeonggi will not be a flower, it is a cold ghost town, the ...... of the Demon Domain."

"Zhu Jie, don't be alarmist here and pretend to be amazing!"

Chen Yan couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted at Zhu Jie: "In the entire Gyeonggi area, millions of deaths? You must know that last year, the Manchurian iron cavalry invaded Gyeonggi, from Shanhaiguan all the way to Haizhou, and the number of people who died in the entire Gyeonggi area did not exceed one million. If it's really that serious, the official will take the blame and resign and retire to the countryside! ”

Zhu Jie's eyes froze, this Chen Yan is still stubborn to the end, is it possible that the life and death of millions of people, in fact, you can come back late after retiring as a first assistant?

"Lord Chen Yan, whether you believe it or not, if millions of people in the Gyeonggi area really die of the plague, you want to take the blame and resign, if I were you, I would jump into the pit and drown! If you are negligent and put millions of people to death, how can you end it by retiring alone? Lord John Tang, tell Lord Chen how many people died in that whip of God two hundred years ago! ”

Zhu Jie shouted angrily.

Tang Ruowang's body trembled, revealing a desperate horror, and his body trembled uncontrollably, that plague was simply a nightmare for the entire Westerners, a nightmare that would be difficult to wake up for a thousand years!

"Tang Aiqing, Tang Aiqing!"

Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and shouted, "Since Lord Zhu Jie asked you, and this is really eager to know, is that plague a plague?" What are the consequences in the West? ”

Tang Ruowang pouted, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the Emperor's forgiveness, God's whip, that is God's apocalyptic punishment for the depravity of the entire Westerners, my God, the Emperor, the ministers dare not speak falsely!" ”

Chongzhen's heart sank, it seemed that it really couldn't be faked, look at Tang Ruowang, he was already paralyzed on the ground!

"Say! Tell me everything you know, and I will know what the whip of God is, and how many people have died under the whip of your God! ”

Chongzhen shouted.

Tang Ruowang said astringently: "Qi, Qi, Emperor, I don't know where Lord Zhu Jie knew about the Whip of God, but this is really the nightmare of everyone in the Westerners." Just more than two hundred years ago, the entire Western Ocean suffered dozens of plagues in the past few decades - the Black Death, that is, the plague that Lord Zhu Jie said, whether this country suffered from the Western Ocean is the same kind or not, the minister did not dare to say, but, as far as the minister knows, in the past few decades, the plague swept dozens of kingdoms, principalities, and city-states in the West, and even the Holy See was not spared, at the most serious time, not a single village, not a single living person, the entire village died of the plague, and even in the Italian city of Kocenza, a population of seven or eight thousand, a plague down, there are less than ten people alive, and the entire Western Ocean is almost the end of the world......"

Hiss......

Except for Zhu Jie, the entire court, including Emperor Chongzhen, fell into an extreme horror and fear, this, this whip of God was really so terrifying! The whole village, the population of the whole village died, and even the city-state with a population of seven or eight thousand, after a plague, only a few people survived, which is also terrifying!

"Oh my God......"

Ni Yuanlu, the left attendant of the household department on the side, exclaimed: "Lord Tang, according to what you said, this plague has been epidemic for decades, so won't the entire Western Ocean be extinct?" Where else can anyone survive? All extinct! This—this is a terrible catastrophe! ”

John Tang said bitterly: "Who said it wasn't? According to the statistics of some scholars in our Western Ocean, at least more than 20 million people died in this catastrophe, whether it was a commoner or a nobleman, a soldier or a merchant, as long as they were infected, it was almost certain death, and no one could cure it, and the disease was extremely contagious, and the onset was too fast, from the onset to death, at most ten days, at least three days......

I'm a mother!

Everyone was dumbfounded, if the Gyeonggi region really suffered such a catastrophe because of the mistakes of Chen Yan or a few cabinet ministers, it was really not a Chen Yan who could cover up the past by resigning, even the emperor had to make an edict against himself, as for the first and auxiliary ministers, there was only one death to thank the world!

Chen Yan's eyes were full of fear, and his legs couldn't stop trembling.

No, absolutely not! This is definitely Zhu Jie and Tang Ruowang teaming up to trap me, this is definitely Zhu Jie's revenge on me! What's more, if you don't die if you fight a snake, you will leave trouble, today, I am about to be planted in Zhu Jie's hands!

Actually, Zhu Jie really didn't think about bringing down Chen Yan at this time, and he didn't know that this kid could once stab him in the back, but this kid was just a thief himself.

"Zhu Aiqing, Tang Aiqing, since the two of you have a clear understanding of this plague, then the matter of preventing the plague in the Gyeonggi region will be handed over to you, and the plague will be strangled in the cradle at all costs, and the tragedy like what Tang Aiqing said just now will never be allowed, understand!?"

In the last sentence, Chongzhen was already loud and loud!
