Chapter 737: The King's Heart

"Xiao Quanzi. The emperor said, "The slave is here." "The eunuch in charge Xiao Quanzi came to the emperor's side," passed the decree to Dali Temple, let the officials who were not infected re-examine the life and death cases of this year, and see if there were any wrongful convictions. The emperor said, "The slave obeys the order." "Xiao Quanzi went down to spread the decree, and such a serious plague broke out in the city overnight, it must be that there was an unjust, false and wrongful case in this world, someone died unjustly, and it was difficult for the unjust soul to be reincarnated, and he told the gods of his grievances, so he angered the heavens, and then he gave the mortal world a crime. There are unjust, false and wrongful cases that have not been wronged, it is his emperor's negligence, and now that the disaster has come, I hope that it is not too late to make amends.

According to the emperor's will, no matter which palace has a cough and is bedridden, the palace door will be locked, and no one is allowed to leave his palace. The doctors of the Tai Hospital, consulting ancient books, and preparing decoctions. Although it is not clear what caused the plague and what its symptoms were, the imperial physicians can only prevent the plague according to the records of ancient books. According to the record of "Preparing for Emergencies", the New Year's Dan Tusu wine is used for well water disinfection to prevent plague. It is recorded in the "Preparation for Emergency" that "whenever the epidemic is rushed, the moon is often used to look at the sun, the peach branches are carefully cut to the east, and the soup is bathed." "Bathing in a medicinal soup can prevent the plague.

Because of the plague, the entire palace was quiet, and every palace was tightly closed, whether it was the harem concubines or the eunuchs and palace maids, those who could stay in the house would not go out, and if they had to go out, they should also use a thick cotton cloth to tie their faces and cover their mouths and noses. Although it was already daytime, the queen of this matter was as deserted as the night, and there was no one else on the palace road except for the palace people who sprayed the medicinal liquid. The emperor came to the Baohua Palace, knelt in front of the statue of Guanyin, silently chanted scriptures, prayed for the blessings of the people in the world, and hoped that the people of Li would defeat the plague as soon as possible and regain their health and happiness.

Baohua Hall. "Your Majesty, Lord Tang Shiqian of the household department is here. "Xiao Quanzi came in to report," Tang Aiqing came and asked him to wait in the outer hall. The emperor said, "Chirp." Xiao Quanzi went down to report that the emperor bowed three times to the statue of Guanyin, stood up and walked out of the Buddhist hall. "Wechen see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live. "Tang Shiqian bowed down to salute, it was only Tang Shiqian who bowed to the emperor, every time he wanted to salute and greet him, Cangwu would leave Tang Shiqian's body, no one in the Six Realms could stand his salute greetings, this emperor was just a human emperor, although he became the emperor with the spirit of the true dragon son of heaven, but if he worshipped, even if his ancestors accumulated virtue for ten generations, he could not afford it.

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, give a seat. The emperor said, "Your Majesty." Tang Shiqian said, do it at the emperor's start. "Aiqing must have known that there was a plague outbreak in the capital. The emperor said, "Your Majesty, on the way into the palace, the minister has seen that the people are coughing nonstop, and there is a phenomenon of human-to-human transmission, thinking that it is a plague." Cangwu returned to Tang Shiqian's body and said, "The imperial doctor has confirmed that it is a plague, and he will not hide from Aiqing that there has been a plague in the palace, and the queen and the crown prince have been infected." The emperor said with a lonely expression, "The queen mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have their own celestial phenomena on auspicious days, and they will be safe, and the people of the world will also be safe." Cang Wu said, "Because of the plague, most of the officials in the court were sick and took leave, and the early dynasty was also shelved, I don't know if love suddenly entered the palace, but what is the important thing?" The emperor asked, because of the plague, many officials were sick and took leave, and he also granted leave, but everyone was hiding from the plague at home, and I don't know why he suddenly entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, you have been asking Wechen to secretly investigate Lord Wang, Wechen got accurate information today, Lord Wang has not yet dawned today, he secretly assembled troops outside the city, I don't know what to do. Cangwu said that the emperor had long been suspicious of Wang Tianyi, and the reason why he reused Tang Shiqian was to use Tang Shiqian's hand to investigate Wang Tianyi and get rid of Wang Tianyi, but he also knew that Wang Tianyi had been an official in the court for decades, and the elders of the two dynasties, his foundation was deeply rooted beyond his imagination, so he secretly instructed Tang Shiqian to investigate Wang Tianyi and openly oppose Wang Tianyi.

"Keep watching, and if there is any trouble, keep me informed. "The emperor said that he secretly assembled the army at the time of the great epidemic in the world, how could he not know his intentions, but as the Ninety-Five Emperor who commanded the world, his mind did not allow any courtiers to speculate. "It's a pity that Bai Aiqing, a useful talent for the imperial court, was unexpectedly killed by a traitor. The emperor sighed and said that the reason why he sent Bai Qingming to inspect the Jiangnan Eight Mansions was that he knew that the Jiangnan Eight Mansions also had Wang Tianyi's foundation and connections. Not long ago, there was an assassination of the prince's maid Dong Window, who was sent to the Shen Criminal Division to be tortured, and it was found out that she was Wang Tianyi's secret cultivation in Jiangnan Bafu, and was sent to the palace by Jiangnan Bafu in the name of a show girl, called serving the emperor, in fact, to listen to the news to obtain information, Wang Tianyi's disobedience was clearly revealed. That's why he sent Bai Qingming, who was upright and not an official from the imperial court faction, to investigate, but he didn't want to get to the south of the Yangtze River before his ship was robbed by water bandits, and he was also buried in the canal. said that it was caused by the water bandits, how could he not know the reason.

"Lord Bai is a loyal and good minister, with the blessing of God and the kindness of the emperor, he will definitely turn evil into good fortune. Cangwu said, I still have to give the emperor a little confidence, after all, Bai Qingming is really not dead. "Let's not mention this matter for a moment, now that the epidemic is current, Tang Aiqing must also protect herself, don't let herself be infected with the plague. The emperor said, "The ministers obey the order." Cangwu said.

Shangshu Mansion. "Lord Qiqi, there is news from the palace that the queen and the crown prince have been infected with the plague, and now the whole palace is closed to prevent the plague. The spy reported, "Let the palace continue to monitor, in the eyes of the epidemic now, the emperor will soon be infected, and after the emperor is infected with the plague, he will report it." Wang Tianyi said, "Yes." The spy left the main hall, "Great Immortal, you are really powerful, this plague is too powerful. Wang Tianyi said, because Daxian had assured him that he would not be infected with the plague, so he left the mansion and went out to take a look, looking at the people on the street coughing violently, they were about to die, he knew how powerful this plague was, and now the queen and the prince were infected with the plague, even if the Tai Doctor of the Tai Hospital was skilled, he would not be Daxian's opponent.
