Chapter 290: Ascending the Wall
Most of the other officials standing around were worried about the people here, and the people who took the initiative to ask to come here or the officials who were originally from this Chenjiang Town showed a hint of joy on their faces, but after thinking about it carefully, they still felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly spoke to dissuade them.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, by all means, His Royal Highness is a golden body, how can he go to live inside, if there is anything wrong, how can you let the ministers explain to the emperor? And if the prince is exhausted, how can you replace the emperor for disaster relief? ”
At this time, Lu Chuan and Cui Shangshu couldn't take care of anything else, and hurriedly joined the camp of those who opened their mouths to persuade the prince in front of them to come, this prince was too unreasonable, originally thought that the prince was pampered from a small brocade and jade, where could he endure such suffering, he would definitely propose to live in the nearby town, but he didn't expect the prince to propose to live in this Chenjiang Town.
This is too unreliable, even if they can't live in that comfortable house, now they live in the grass hut and wooden house, but it's better than living in the city, they will obey the arrangement of the imperial doctor every time they enter the city to inspect, take decoction, wear clothes must be fumigated with medicinal water, and bathe with medicinal herbs, so as to prevent the epidemic from entering the body, if you live in it directly, you will be in it all day and night with those people, God knows if you will be infected with the epidemic......
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, so they don't want to get into danger!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the situation in this city is critical, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still lives outside the city, and he can go in every day to inspect it." Lu Chuan hurriedly spoke, and the rest of the officials also hurriedly seconded the proposal, and some even proposed to enter the city instead of the prince.
Seeing that everyone was so opposed, the prince secretly wrote down the names and appearances of those who wanted to enter the city instead of him, so that he could have a number in his heart, and then he opened his mouth to let everyone rest outside the city.
The prince rested for a while in the hut and the hut, and then offered to go into the city to have a visit, and of course they did not refuse, and hurriedly led the prince and the ministers who had just come here today towards the gate of the city.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Cui Shangshu hurriedly handed over a coat and said, "Your Highness, you should put on this coat first and then enter the city, this coat is fumigated with herbs, and it has a certain use to prevent infection with epidemics." ”
The prince didn't say anything, and was about to put it on, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the person behind him didn't have this thin coat, so he couldn't help but stop, and hurriedly said, "If everyone doesn't have it, then I won't wear it either." After speaking, he reached out and handed the coat back to Cui Shangshu's hand.
Seeing the prince resolutely walking towards the front, Cui Shangshu hurriedly stopped him, "Prince, Your Highness, you better put it on, so that the ministers dare to take you into this Chenjiang Town." ”
After all, this prince is still a prince, if he lets him walk in like this, and when something happens when he turns around, then he will really have to die to apologize.
Although the prince minded that everyone didn't have this coat in his heart, he still put the coat on his body when he looked at the worry on the faces of the ministers behind him.
Looking at the obvious relieved faces of the people in front of him, the prince's face was a little unnatural, but he didn't say anything, but quietly followed Cui Shangshu, who had already walked forward.
Cui Shangshu first took the prince to the top of the city wall with the rhetoric of climbing high and looking far, after all, it is the prince who is coming now, if his safety cannot be guaranteed, if something bad happens, then his career can be regarded as coming to an end.
Everyone followed the prince and walked to the city wall, as Cui Shangshu said, ascending high and looking into the distance.
Standing on the city wall and looking at the past, I saw a large area of ruins in the east, and a few ragged ones on the ground, all of whom looked yellow and thin, with a trace of despair, and many people knelt down in a group and hugged their heads and cried, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it.
And to the west is much more so, from a distance there are much fewer collapsed houses than in the east, probably because it is much more empty, at this time everyone does not dare to live in the house that is still intact, directly around the house built a lot of tents, in the distance can see a few people with panicked faces walking between the tents.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the prince's eyes were already wide in shock, he had grown up in the palace since he was a child, where had he seen such a tragic scene, and he could still see several soldiers carrying swollen corpses towards a place to the east from a distance.
Looking at the appearance of those corpses, Lu Chuan, who had always been pampered in the capital, almost vomited out the food he used in the morning.
Although the prince's face was a little unbearable to look at anymore, his face was still pale.
Cui Shangshu looked at the appearance of the prince, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said: "Those who died of the epidemic, often one person gets the epidemic, the whole family will be affected, and then the whole family will die......"
Hearing Cui Shangshu's gloomy voice say such a terrifying thing, the prince couldn't help but shudder.
"Moreover, the people who were crushed under the ground after the earth movement have not fully dug up......"
The prince's face turned pale for a while, "Can't this epidemic be controlled?" ”
The official of Chenjiang Town, who was standing on the side, said with a wry smile: "Where is this epidemic so easy to control......
He didn't say the next words, for fear of frightening the prince in front of him, but a cold voice sounded: "As long as they are all dead, this epidemic can be regarded as under control." ”
The prince and the official turned their heads in unison to look at the person who spoke, it was Yan Chengming, who was standing beside the prince and had been silent.
His face was pale, as if the person who had just spoken was not him.
For generations, all epidemics have been dealt with in this way, only entering but not leaving, and only when there are no more deaths in the city because of this epidemic will it be considered a real liberation, but how many people will be left at that time depends on the will of God.
The prince thought of what Yan Chengming said when he talked to Yan Chengming about the epidemic last night, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
I don't know how many generations this method of dealing with the epidemic has been handed down, and the people in front of me think that they also want to use this method to stop the spread of the epidemic.
In the face of this natural disaster, human life is the most worthless thing.
